Purpose: The study aimed to identify influencing factors associated with the organizational commitment (OC) among hospital nurses. Methods: A descriptive correlational design was utilized. The subjects of this study were 447 female nurses working for over 6 months in Seoul. The study was based on the data from a self-reported survey using structured questionnaires. The data were collected from September 10 to 30, 2009 and analyzed using Pearson's correlation coefficients and stepwise multiple regression analysis. Results: The mean score of the OC was 2.45, slightly higher than the intermediate level. The mean score of the three-dimensional domain among the OC, affective commitment (AC) was 2.50, continuance commitment (CC) was 2.59, and normative commitment (NC) was 2.29. The influencing factors of nurses' AC were perceived organizational support (POS) (${\beta}$=.31, p<.001), supervisory trust, job burnout, nursing professionalism, and age, which accounted for 49.7%. The influencing factors of the CC were supervisory trust (${\beta}$=.20, p<.001), POS, and job burnout whereas the influencing factors of the NC were POS (${\beta}$=.40, p<.001), supervisory trust, nursing professionalism, and job burnout. Conclusion: It is necessary to develop supportive strategies that increase OC, which also improve the POS, nursing professionalism, and supervisory trust, and alleviate job burnout in hospital nurses.

Background: Two-jaw surgery including mandibular and maxillary backward movement procedures are commonly performed to correct class III malocclusion. Bimaxillary surgery can reposition the maxillofacial bone together with soft tissue, such as the soft palate and the tongue base. We analyzed changes of pharyngeal airway narrowing to ascertain clinical correlations with the prevalence of snoring after two-jaw surgery. Methods: A prospective clinical study was designed including a survey on snoring and three-dimensional (3D) computed tomography (CT) in class III malocclusion subjects before and after bimaxillary surgery. We conducted an analysis on changes of the posterior pharyngeal space find out clinical correlations with the prevalence of snoring. Results: Among 67 subjects, 12 subjects complained about snoring 5 weeks after the surgical correction, and examining the 12 subjects after 6 months, 6 patients complained about the snoring. The current findings demonstrated the attenuation of the largest transverse width (LTW), anteroposterior length (APL), and cross-sectional area (CSA) following bimaxillary surgery given to class III malocclusion patients, particularly at the retropalatal level. The average distance of maxillary posterior movements were measured to be relatively higher (horizontal distance 3.9 mm, vertical distance 2.6 mm) in case of new snorers. Conclusions: This study found that bimaxillary surgery could lead to the narrowing of upper airway at the retropalatal or retroglossal level as well as triggering snoring in subjects with class III malocclusion. Based on the current clinical findings, we also found that upper airway narrowing at retropalatal level may contribute to increasing the probability of snoring and that polysonography may need to be performed before orthognathic surgery in subjects with class III malocclusion.

Magnetotelluric (MT) survey investigates electrical structure of subsurface by measuring natural electromagnetic fields on the earth surface. For the accurate interpretation of MT data, the precise three-dimensional (3-D) modeling algorithm is prerequisite. Since MT responses are affected by electrical anisotropy of medium, the modeling algorithm has to incorporate the electrical anisotropy especially when analyzing time-lapse MT data sets, for monitoring engineered geothermal system (EGS) reservoir, because changes in different-vintage MT-data sets are small. This study developed a MT modeling algorithm for the simulation MT responses in the presence of electrical anisotropy by improving a pre-existing staggered-grid finite-difference MT modeling algorithm. After verifying the developed algorithm, we analyzed the effect of vertical transversely isotropic (VTI) anisotropy on MT responses. In addition, we are planning to extend the applicability of the developed algorithm which can simulate not only the horizontal transversely isotropic (HTI) anisotropy, but also the tiled transversely isotropic (TTI) anisotropy.

Three-dimensional information of submarine topography was acquired by assembling DGPS and Echo Sounder, which is mainly used in the marine survey. However, the features of submarine topography, derived according to mechanical data, were confirmed using human eyes. Because the dredging capacity using a submarine surveying data influences harbor public affairs, analysis and the process method of surveying data is a very special element in construction costs. In this study, information on submarine topography is acquired by assembling DGPS and Echo Sounder. Moreover, the dredging capacity in harbor public affairs has been analyzed by the interpolation method: inverse distance to a power, kriging, minimum curvature, nearest neighbor, and radial basis function. Also, utilization of DGPS and Echo Sounder method in calculation of the dredging capacity have been confirmed by comparing and analyzing the dredging capacity and the actual one, as per each interpolation. According to this comparison result, in the case of applying Radial basis function interpolation and Kriging, 3.94 % and 4.61 % of error rates have been shown, respectively. In the case of the study for application of the proper interpolation, as per characteristics of submarine topography, is preceded in calculation of the dredging capacity relevant to harbor public affairs, it is expected that more speedy and correct calculation for the dredging capacity can be made.

기후변화는 물 관리 측면에서 많은 변화를 일으키는 것으로 보고되고 있다. 주로 강우의 패턴을 변화시키며, 가용수자원의 지역적 편중을 심화시킨다. 기후변화에 적응하며 안정적이고 균등한 용수확보를 위해서는 홍수와 가뭄을 고려한 연속적인 물 순환 해석기술이 필요하다. 강우유출분석은 강우사상에 대한 수문순환과정을 통해 유출량을 산출하는 것으로, 주로 직접유출과 중간유출이 이에 해당된다. 강우발생 이후 무강우기간에 대해서는 기저시간 이후에 발생되는 유출량의 정량적 산출이 필요하다. 기저유출은 강우 발생 시점에 급격히 발생하기보다는 선행강우에 따른 유역 내 지하수위 분포와 대수층의 특성, 하천수위에 따라 다양한 패턴으로 나타나기 때문에 지하수대의 수리학적 성분들을 반영할 수 있어야 한다. 이를 위해서는 강우유출모의 시 지표유출량 산정과 지하수유동해석을 통한 기저유출량 산정이 동시에 이루어져야 한다. 최근 국내외에서는 다양한 형태의 수문모형과 MODFLOW를 연계한 장기유출분석에 대한 연구가 활발하게 진행되고 있다. 본 연구에서 활용한 K-DRUM(K-water Distribution Runoff Model)은 K-water에서 자체 개발한 물리적 기반의 분포형 강우유출모형으로 강우유출, 유사, 기초수질항목에 대한 3차원 분석이 가능하다. 본 모형의 A층(표층)은 지표유출을 고려한 운동파법이 적용되었고, B층과 C층(중간층), D층(지하수층)은 선형저류법이 적용되었다. MODFLOW(A Modular Three-Dimensional Finite-Difference Ground Water Flow Model)는 1980년대 USGS(United State Geolog ical Survey)에서 개발된 가장 범용적으로 사용되는 지하수유동모형이며, 모듈화 된 구조를 갖고 있어 다양한 패키지 중 필요로 하는 기능을 독립적으로 모의할 수 있는 장점이 있다. 본 연구에서는 향후 기후변화에 따른 강우의 불확실성에 대비한 유역의 장기 물순환 해석을 위해 강우유출모형인 K-DRUM과 지하수유동모형인 MODFLOW를 연계하고자한다. 연계방법은 K-DRUM에서 계산된 D층으로 침루되는 양을 MODFLOW의 함양량으로 적용하고, MODFLOW에서 산출된 기저유량을 K-DRUM의 하천유출에 적용하는 것이다. 본 연구의 성과를 갈수기 유출해석에 적용하면 정확성을 크게 향상시킬 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

In order to prevent and treat a patient's disease, the anatomical structure of the lesion through medical imaging is one of the important processes. However, there is a limit to the image displayed on the screen, so many studies are underway to overcome this by using 3D printing technology. To this end, this study implemented a three-dimensional cardiovascular model using actual patient image data, printed it out using a 3D printer, and conducted a usefulness test on current medical professionals. As a result of the usefulness evaluation, when the questionnaire conducted by a total of 5 people was converted to the Likert scale, the average value of all items showed a high result of 4.83 points, and the result of the cross-analysis was (P) = 10.000 (0.265), which was equally positive among all the questionnaires survey results were presented. Based on the results, it is expected that 3D printing technology will help advance medical technology.

As population concentration, high-rise, and high-density progresses amid rapid industrialization and urbanization in Korea, green areas in the city have decreased significantly and the natural environment has deteriorated day by day due to various development projects. In order to cope with these social changes, many studies related to park and green areas have been conducted, but in the case of Gwangju-si, only studies on green areas such as vegetation structures, street facilities, and recreation forests have been conducted on park green areas. The situation is not losing. Therefore, in this study, a survey was conducted on Gwangju citizens to understand the usage behavior and satisfaction of park green areas, and to provide basic data for future park development and reorganization. As a result, first, to induce a variety of static and dynamic activities in order to increase the park satisfaction of Gwangju citizens, it is possible to create a park that has not been formed as soon as possible, and by planning programs with various themes. Second, it is necessary to expand green space services in marginalized areas by creating water streams, flower pots, and rooftop greening around the lives of Gwangju citizens, and create park green spaces with themes using cultural and historical resources for each administrative district. Third, in order to solve the dry landscape in some urban areas, it is necessary to establish a three-dimensional landscape plan by creating a variety of green areas such as potted plants, green areas, and street trees, and by giving functions of park green areas such as expanding leisure and convenience facilities.

Purpose: The aim of this study is to explore levels of suicidal ideation and identify subgroups of high suicidal risk among the depressed elderly in Korea. Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional design was adopted on secondary data from the 6th (1st year) Korean national health and nutrition examination survey (KNHANES). A total of 239 depressed elders aged 60 or over who participated in the KNHANES. The prevalence of suicidal ideation and its related factors, including sociodemographic, physical, psychological characteristics and quality of life (EQ-5D index) were examined. Descriptive statistics and a decision tree analysis were performed using the SPSS/WIN 23.0 and SPSS Modeler 14.2 programs. Results: Of the depressed elderly, 28.9% had suicidal ideation. Three groups with high suicidal ideation were identified. Predictive factors included perceived stress level, household income level, quality of life and restriction of activity. In the highest risk group were those depressed elderly with moderate and low levels of stress, less than .71 of EQ-5D index and restriction of activity, and 80.0% of these participants had suicidal ideation. The accuracy of the model was 80.8%, its sensitivity 85.9%, and its specificity 68.1%. Conclusion: Multi-dimensional intervention should be designed to decrease suicide among the depressed elderly, particularly focusing on subgroups with high risk factors. This research is expected to contribute itself to the policy design and solution building in the future as it suggests policy implications in preventing the suicide of the depressed elderly.
