Objective: To investigate the diagnostic yield of diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) in patients with transient global amnesia (TGA) and identify significant parameters affecting diagnostic yield. Materials and Methods: A systematic literature search of the MEDLINE and EMBASE databases was conducted to identify studies that assessed the diagnostic yield of DWI in patients with TGA. The pooled diagnostic yield of DWI in patients with TGA was calculated using the DerSimonian-Laird random-effects model. Subgroup analyses were also performed of slice thickness, magnetic field strength, and interval between symptom onset and DWI. Results: Twenty-two original articles (1732 patients) were included. The pooled incidence of right, left, and bilateral hippocampal lesions was 37% (95% confidence interval [CI], 30-44%), 42% (95% CI, 39-46%), and 25% (95% CI, 20-30%) of all lesions, respectively. The pooled diagnostic yield of DWI in patients with TGA was 39% (95% CI, 27-52%). The Higgins I² statistic showed significant heterogeneity (I² = 95%). DWI with a slice thickness ≤ 3 mm showed a higher diagnostic yield than DWI with a slice thickness > 3 mm (pooled diagnostic yield: 63% [95% CI, 53-72%] vs. 26% [95% CI, 16-40%], p < 0.01). DWI performed at an interval between 24 and 96 hours after symptom onset showed a higher diagnostic yield (68% [95% CI, 57-78%], p < 0.01) than DWI performed within 24 hours (16% [95% CI, 7-34%]) or later than 96 hours (15% [95% CI, 8-26%]). There was no difference in the diagnostic yield between DWI performed using 3T vs. 1.5T (pooled diagnostic yield, 31% [95% CI, 25-38%] vs. 24% [95% CI, 14-37%], p = 0.31). Conclusion: The pooled diagnostic yield of DWI in TGA patients was 39%. DWI obtained with a slice thickness ≤ 3 mm or an interval between symptom onset and DWI of > 24 to 96 hours could increase the diagnostic yield.

선박 프로펠러 캐비테이션 소음이 발생하면 수중 방사 소음의 수준이 급격히 상승하는데, 특히 함정의 경우에 피탐지 확률이 증가해 치명적인 위협 요인이 될 수 있다. 따라서 함정의 생존성 향상을 위하여 캐비테이션 신호를 정확하고 신속하게 판단하는 것이 매우 중요한데, 종래에는 센서로 계측한 음압/진동 준위가 기준값 이상이면 캐비테이션 발생으로 판단하는 기술과 데몬 기법을 통해 캐비테이션 발생 여부를 판별하는 방법이 주로 수행되었다. 그러나 이와 관련된 기술은 캐비테이션의 발생 현상에 대한 물리적 이해와 사용자의 주관적 기준을 기반으로 수행되며 여러 절차를 거치기 때문에 캐비테이션 신호를 조기에 자동으로 인식하는 기법의 개발이 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 선체에 부착된 음향 센서를 이용하여 계측된 음향 신호로부터 캐비테이션 신호의 특징을 반영한 간단한 통계량 기반 특징을 추출하고 이로부터 캐비테이션 발생 여부를 자동으로 판단하는 알고리즘을 제안한다. 제안된 기법의 성능은 센서 수와 모형 시험 조건에 따라 평가하는데, 단일 센서로 계측된 신호에 캐비테이션의 특징을 충분히 반영하여 훈련하면 캐비테이션 신호의 발생 여부를 판단 가능함을 확인했다.

새로운 2-alkoxyphenyl-3-phenylthioisoindoline-1-one 유도체(A & B)들의 치환기 변화에 따른 저항성(RPC; 95CC7303)과 감수성(SPC; 95CC7105) 고추역병 균주(Phyto pthora capsici)들의 살균활성에 대한 3차원적인 정량적 구조-활성관계(3D-QSAR)를 비교 분자장 분석(CoMFA) 방법으로 연구하였다. 정렬방법에 따라 field fit(FF) 보다는 atom based fit(AF) 정렬시에 양호한(AF>FF) 모델, A3 및 A7을 얻을 수 있었다. AF 정렬시, 부가적 설명인자로서 HOMO 및 LUMO 분자 궤도장이 추가된 H-bond와 standard field에서 유도된 균주별 두 모델의 cross-validated $r^2\;_{cv.}$값$(q^2=0.625{\sim}0.834)$과 non cross-validated 값$(r^2_{ncv.}=0.894{\sim}0.915)$에 근거하여 SPC 균주의 살균활성에 대한 모델, A7이 RPC 균주의 살균활성에 대한 모델, A3보다 양호한 예측성(q2)을 나타내었다. 두 균주에 대한 살균활성은 분자의 입체장$(66.8{\sim}82.8%)$, 정전기장$(10.3{\sim}4.6%)$ 그리고 분자 궤도장(SPC: HOMO, 12.6% 및 RPC: LUMO, 22.9%)이 영향을 미치는 중요한 요소이었다. 두 균주에 대한 선택성은 N-phenyl 고리상 ortho, meta-위치의 양하전과 S-phenyl 고리상 치환기의 친수성의 크기에 의존적이었다.

외국인 직접투자는 국내투자와 함께 생산과정에 흡수되어 생산유발효과를 창출할 수도 있고, 아니면 외부요인으로 존재하면서 GDP의 변동성을 키우는 경우도 있다. 이러한 외국인 투자의 상이한 역할에 대하여 연구하는 것이 본 논문의 목적이다. 경제이론으로는 내생적 성장론을 사용하였고, 통계분석방법으로는 GARCH와 VAR모형을 이용하였다. 실증연구 대상으로는 미얀마를 선택하였는데, 미얀마는 장기간 군사정부 상태로 있었고 2011년 4월 민선정부가 출범하였다. 군사독재정부시절에는 외국인 직접투자는 주로 석유 가스와 전력산업에 투입되었고, 2011년 문민정부로 전환됨과 동시에 서방의 경제제재가 완화되면서 외국인 직접투자가 동남아에서 가장 활발한 국가이다. 한국도 이에 동참하고 있어 미얀마 국가의 경제발전과 한국과 미얀마의 경제적 상호관계의 발전을 위하여 본 연구가 필요하다. 산업별 패널분석의 결과에 의하면, 미얀마에서 외국인 투자가 주로 이루어진 산업은 석유 가스 부분인데, 산업유발효과보다는 수입을 위한 달러조달의 의미가 크다. 생산유발효과가 높은 제조업에는 외국인 직접투자는 낮은 수준이고 생산량 변화와의 관계를 찾을 수가 없었다. 시계열 분석은 결과는 민선정부 출범이전 기간(2006.01~2011.12)에서는 GARCH의 존재가 확인되지만 외국인 직접투자가 미얀마 국내총생산에 영향을 주지 않는 것으로 판단되었다. 민선정부 출범이후 기간(2011.04~2015.12)에서는 외국인 직접투자가 미얀마 국내총생산에 영향을 주는 것으로 판단되었고, GARCH의 존재가 확인되었다. 그러나 외국인 직접투자가 국내총생산에 기여하는 정도는 상당히 낮은 것으로 판단되었다. 그랜저 인과관계 검증을 통하여 GARCH에 외국인 직접투자가 영향을 주는 것으로 추정되었는데, 이는 외국인 직접투자가 국내총생산의 변동성을 키운 것을 의미한다. VAR에 의하여도 외국인 직접투자가 국내 총생산에 영향을 주지만 그 영향은 적고 기간도 길지 않았다. 본 연구에 의하여 외국인 직접투자는 국내총생산에 내부화되는 부분과 잔차항의 변화를 증대시키는 부분으로 구분될 수 있다는 사고가 검증되었고, 미얀마의 경우는 후자가 더 큰 것으로 나타났다.

The supply chain management (SCM) systems have emerged as strong managerial tools for manufacturing firms in enhancing competitive strength. Despite of large investments in the SCM systems, many companies are not fully realizing the promised benefits from the systems. A review of literature on adoption, implementation and success factor of IOS (inter-organization systems), EDI (electronic data interchange) systems, shows that this issue has been examined from multiple theoretic perspectives. And many researchers have attempted to identify the factors which influence the success of system implementation. However, the existing studies have two drawbacks in revealing the determinants of systems implementation success. First, previous researches raise questions as to the appropriateness of research subjects selected. Most SCM systems are operating in the form of private industrial networks, where the participants of the systems consist of two distinct groups: focus companies and vendors. The focus companies are the primary actors in developing and operating the systems, while vendors are passive participants which are connected to the system in order to supply raw materials and parts to the focus companies. Under the circumstance, there are three ways in selecting the research subjects; focus companies only, vendors only, or two parties grouped together. It is hard to find researches that use the focus companies exclusively as the subjects probably due to the insufficient sample size for statistic analysis. Most researches have been conducted using the data collected from both groups. We argue that the SCM success factors cannot be correctly indentified in this case. The focus companies and the vendors are in different positions in many areas regarding the system implementation: firm size, managerial resources, bargaining power, organizational maturity, and etc. There are no obvious reasons to believe that the success factors of the two groups are identical. Grouping the two groups also raises questions on measuring the system success. The benefits from utilizing the systems may not be commonly distributed to the two groups. One group's benefits might be realized at the expenses of the other group considering the situation where vendors participating in SCM systems are under continuous pressures from the focus companies with respect to prices, quality, and delivery time. Therefore, by combining the system outcomes of both groups we cannot measure the system benefits obtained by each group correctly. Second, the measures of system success adopted in the previous researches have shortcoming in measuring the SCM success. User satisfaction, system utilization, and user attitudes toward the systems are most commonly used success measures in the existing studies. These measures have been developed as proxy variables in the studies of decision support systems (DSS) where the contribution of the systems to the organization performance is very difficult to measure. Unlike the DSS, the SCM systems have more specific goals, such as cost saving, inventory reduction, quality improvement, rapid time, and higher customer service. We maintain that more specific measures can be developed instead of proxy variables in order to measure the system benefits correctly. The purpose of this study is to find the determinants of SCM systems success in the perspective of vendor companies. In developing the research model, we have focused on selecting the success factors appropriate for the vendors through reviewing past researches and on developing more accurate success measures. The variables can be classified into following: technological, organizational, and environmental factors on the basis of TOE (Technology-Organization-Environment) framework. The model consists of three independent variables (competition intensity, top management support, and information system maturity), one mediating variable (collaboration), one moderating variable (government support), and a dependent variable (system success). The systems success measures have been developed to reflect the operational benefits of the SCM systems; improvement in planning and analysis capabilities, faster throughput, cost reduction, task integration, and improved product and customer service. The model has been validated using the survey data collected from 122 vendors participating in the SCM systems in Korea. To test for mediation, one should estimate the hierarchical regression analysis on the collaboration. And moderating effect analysis should estimate the moderated multiple regression, examines the effect of the government support. The result shows that information system maturity and top management support are the most important determinants of SCM system success. Supply chain technologies that standardize data formats and enhance information sharing may be adopted by supply chain leader organization because of the influence of focal company in the private industrial networks in order to streamline transactions and improve inter-organization communication. Specially, the need to develop and sustain an information system maturity will provide the focus and purpose to successfully overcome information system obstacles and resistance to innovation diffusion within the supply chain network organization. The support of top management will help focus efforts toward the realization of inter-organizational benefits and lend credibility to functional managers responsible for its implementation. The active involvement, vision, and direction of high level executives provide the impetus needed to sustain the implementation of SCM. The quality of collaboration relationships also is positively related to outcome variable. Collaboration variable is found to have a mediation effect between on influencing factors and implementation success. Higher levels of inter-organizational collaboration behaviors such as shared planning and flexibility in coordinating activities were found to be strongly linked to the vendors trust in the supply chain network. Government support moderates the effect of the IS maturity, competitive intensity, top management support on collaboration and implementation success of SCM. In general, the vendor companies face substantially greater risks in SCM implementation than the larger companies do because of severe constraints on financial and human resources and limited education on SCM systems. Besides resources, Vendors generally lack computer experience and do not have sufficient internal SCM expertise. For these reasons, government supports may establish requirements for firms doing business with the government or provide incentives to adopt, implementation SCM or practices. Government support provides significant improvements in implementation success of SCM when IS maturity, competitive intensity, top management support and collaboration are low. The environmental characteristic of competition intensity has no direct effect on vendor perspective of SCM system success. But, vendors facing above average competition intensity will have a greater need for changing technology. This suggests that companies trying to implement SCM systems should set up compatible supply chain networks and a high-quality collaboration relationship for implementation and performance.

In general, empowerment is defined as the motivational concept of autonomy and self-efficacy. Recently, the concept of empowerment is applied to improve organizational staff's job satisfaction and organizational commitment in many organizations. Empower-ment in service organizations, i.e., hospitals, has certainly generated more publicity than any other organizations. The objectives of this study are, first, to measure the degree of hospital employees' empowerment using Spreitzer(1995)'s empowerment theory, second, to analyze the causal relationship of organizational and job characteristics, a degree of empowerment, and organizational performance(job satisfaction and organizational commitment), and third, to offer the strategy for the improvement of job satisfaction and organizational commitment. Spreitzer insists that the empowerment is composed of 4 dimensions(meaning, competence, self-determination, and impact). And he argues that various work-related characteristics is a direct cause of empowerment and the indirect cause of job satisfaction and organizational commitment, mediated by the empowerment latent variable. In order to perform this study, data were collected by self-administered questionnaires from hospital employees working in administrative department of 3 university hospitals in Inchon and Kyunggi-Do region. The number of cases is 181(response rate; 86%). The Collected data were analyzed with SPSS Ver. 10.0 and AMOSV Ver. 4.0. First, to test validity of variables, the factor analysis was used. Second, to test reliability, Cronbach's alpha coefficients was calculated. Cronbach's alpha of empowerment variable is 0.8323 showing that there's no problem in regard to the internal consistency. Also the Cronbach's alpha of other variables are 0.8301 of the degree of perceived control, 0.6705 of job characteristics, O.8787 of compensation, 0.9254 of job satisfaction, and 0.8389 of organizational commitment, respectively. Among the questions of job characteristics, two survey questions are deleted due to lowering the reliability. Third, to test multicollinearity and correlation of variables, the correlation analysis was performed. There was no problem of multicollinearity. Finally structural equation modelling (SEM) analysis was conducted to find the causal relationship of organizational and job Characteristics, empowerment, job satisfaction and organizational commitment. The 16 variables are included for the SEM analysis. The major results of this study are as follows: First, in the case of model fitness, the condition of x$^2$ statistic(92.187) is not fully satisfied, but the indices of GFI(0.912), AGFI(0.863), NFI(0.917) and CFI(0.928) are partially satisfied, which needs to upper 0.90. Second, in the result of hypotheses testing, all hypotheses are accepted and have a positive effect in 95% or 99% confidence interval(P<0.05 or P<0.001) except the effect of compensation variable on empowerment(P=0.082). Third, in regard to the direct, indirect, and total effect of variables, the direct effect of perceived control, task characteristics, and compensation on job satisfaction are 0.728, 2.264, 0.328 and on organizational commitment are 0.094, 1.411, 0.418, respectively. Also the indirect effect of perceived control, task characteristics, and compensation on job satisfaction are 0.311, 0.196, 0.028 and on organizational commitment are 0.210, 0.132, 0.019, respectively. Thus, these findings imply that various work-related factors are direct effect of empowerment and indirect effect of result variables, job satisfaction and organizational commitment. Also These results showed that the workplace empowerment is significant mediating factor of employee's job satisfaction and organizational commitment.

The objective of the study are two-fold: one is to explore the relationship between environment, organizational structure, and organizational effectiveness of public health centers in Korea, and the other is to examine the validity of contingency theory for improving the organizational structure of public health care agencies, with special emphasis on public health nursing administration. Accordingly, the conceptual model of the study consisted of three different concepts: environment, organizational structure, and organizational effectiveness, which were built up from the contingency theory. Data were collected during the period from 1st of May through 30th of June, 1990. From the total of 249 health centers in the country, one hundred and five centers were sampled non proportionally, according to the geopolitical distribution. Out of 105, 73 health centers responded to mailed questionnaire. The health centers were the unit of the study, and a various statistical analysis techniques were used: Reliability analysis(Cronbach's Alpha) for 4 measurement tools; Shapiro-Wilk statistic for normality test of measured scores of 6 variables: ANOVA, Pearson Correlaion analysis, regressional analysis, and canonical correlation analysis for the test of the relationships and differences between the variables. The results were. as follows : 1. No significant differences between forma lization, decision-making authority and environmental complexity were found(F=1.383, P=.24 ; F=.801, P=.37). 2. Negative relationships between formalization and decision-making authority for both urban and rural health centers were found(r=-.470, P=.002 ; r=-.348, P=.46). 3. No significant relationship between formalization and job satisfaction for both urban and rural health centers were found (r=-.242, P=.132, r=-.060, P=.739). 4. Significant positive relationship between decision - making authority and job satisfaction were found in urban health centers (r=.504, P=.0009), but no such relationship was observed in rural health centers. Regression coefficient between them was statistically significant($\beta=1.535$, P=.0002), and accuracy of regression line was accepted (W=.975, P= .420). 5. No significant relationships among formalization and family planning services, maternal health services, and tuberculosis control services for both urban and rural health centers were found. 6. Among decision-making authority and family planning services, maternal health services, and tuberculosis control services, significant positive relationship was found between de cision-making authority and family planning services(r=.286, P=.73). 7. A significant difference was found in maternal health services by the type of health centers (F=5.13, P=.026) but no difference was found in tuberculosis control services by the type of health centers, formalization, and decision-making authority. 8. A significant positive relationships were found between family planning services and maternal health services and tuberculosis control services, and between maternal health services and tuberculosis control services (r=-.499, P=.001 ; r=.457, P=.004 ; r=.495, P=.002) in case of urban health centers. In case of rural health centers, relationships between family planning services and tuberculosis control services, and between maternal health services and tuberculosis control services were statistically significant (r=.534, P=.002 ; r=.389, P=.027). No significant relationship was found between family planning and maternal health services. 9. A significant positive canonical correlation was found between the group of independent variables consisted of formalization and de cision-making authority and the group of dependent variables consisted of family planning services, maternal health services and tuberculosis control services(Rc=.455, P=.02). In case of urban health centers, no significant canonical correlation was found between them, but significant canoncial correlation was found in rural health centers(Rc=.578, P=.069), 10. Relationships between job satisfaction and health care productivity was not found significant. Through these results, the assumed relationship between environment and organizational structure was not supported in health centers. Therefore, the relationship between the organizational effectiveness and the congruence between environment and organizational structure that contingency theory proposes to exist was not able to be tested. However decision-making authority was found as an important variable of organizational structure affecting family planning services and job satisfaction in urban health centers. Thus it was suggested that decentralized decision making among health professionals would be a valuable strategy for improvement of organizational effectiveness in public health centers. It is also recommended that further studies to test contingency theory would use variability and uncertainty to define environment of public health centers instead of complexity.
