It is very important to examine and compare initial plan with earned value repeatedly in construction. For this purpose, progress measurement, which reflects the actual progress correctly, is required and it is necessary that accurate field data should be offered. To measure the progress, the entire project mutt be divided into unit works that have an accurate scope of work, and required information must be distributed to the all parties. Under the circumstances of domestic construction industry which focus on the specifications, progress measurement needs to reflect the information of schedule as well as cost that includes the quantity of unit work and construction expenses. Therefore this research proposes weighted method of progress measurement based on the information of cost and schedule.

Objectives: To observe safety and efficacy of herbal medicine for psoriasis patients. Methods: We did retrospective chart review for 107 psoriasis patients who had been treated by herbal medicine for 2 months, and we analyzed the liver function test (LFT) results and Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI) scores of before and after the treatment. Results: The mean LFT and the number of patients with abnormal LFT decreased after the treatments. More than 95% of patients with normal LFT maintained normal results at after the treatment, and only 2.1% and 4.6% patients with normal LFT showed abnormal Glutamic Oxaloacetic Transaminase (GOT) and Glutamic Pyruvic Transaminase (GPT) results at after the treatment. Also, both mean PASI scores for all patients and patients with abnormal LFT before the treatment decreased significantly. Conclusions: This study suggest that herbal medicine may be safe and effective treatment for psoriasis.

This report describes the effectiveness of mahaenggamseog-tang(麻杏甘石湯) on the patients who suffered from atopic dermatitis and psoriasis. We administered mahaenggamseog-tang with heat-clearing and lung-dispersing(淸熱宣肺) effect to two dermatitis patients who showed sweating with panting(汗出而喘), vexation and thirst(煩渴), aversion to heat(惡熱), agitation(煩燥), swelling of the face and eyes(面目浮腫). The severity of dermatitis was evaluated by visual analogue scale(VAS), pictures, SCORAD index(case 1), PASI(case 2). After the treatment, VAS/SCORAD index of case 1 changed from 9/71.5 to 0/6.1; VAS/PASI of case 2 from 8/36.8 to 1/6.8. Mahaenggamseog-tang could improved the symptoms of atopic dermatitis and psoriasis in this study. This study offers an approach to managing chronic dermatitis more effectively using Mahaenggamseog-tang which used mainly for bronchial diseases and obesity.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of 2 Kobangs. Daecheongryong-tang and Samhwangsasim-tang on to two psoriasis patients each. The improvement of the skin condition was observed by Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI) score. The patient treated with Daecheongryong-tang showed significant improvement after the patient's state of sweating improved and the PASI score of the patient reduced from 17.6 to 1.8 after five months of treatment. The patient treated with Samhwangsasim-tang showed gradual improvement after the patient's defecation was improved and the PASI score of the patient reduced from 27.3 to 3.6 after three months of treatment. According to the results, we obtained clinically positive effects from 2 Kobangs applied on 2 psoriasis cases respectively. Although there were few reports on psoriasis treated with Kobang, we can suggest effective treatment on psoriasis.

Objectives: There are some controversies over the safety of herbal medication in relation to liver function. This report, therefore, aimed to analyze the safety issue of herbal medications by scrutinizing the liver function tests (LFT) results of 82 psoriasis patients on herbal medications for 3 months at an oriental medical clinic. Methods: We tested psoriasis patients' liver function periodically with Reflotron Plus of Roche during the herbal medication. Then we statistically analyzed the LFT results to see if there was any negative change. Results: Statistical analysis on the LFT results of 82 psoriasis patients showed no meaningful change caused by herbal medication over 3 months. Conclusions: From this result we conclude that herbal medication for 3 months does no harm to patients' liver function.

1. Objectives The purpose of this study was to give an account of the effects of Sasang constitutional medicine and fasting therapy for the patient who has suffered from various signs or symptoms caused by psoriasis. 2. Methods The cases were one 50-year old man diagnosed as Taeeumin and one 29-year old man diagnosed as Soyangin. They all have the symptoms caused by psoriasis, such as rash, erythema, scaly skin, itching, etc. So we've recorded the progress of their symptoms as a score at the tables to check their conditions throughout the hospitalized period. We've diagnosed them as Soyangin, Taeeumin have prescribed Yangdokbaecho-tang and Galgeunhaegi-tang and have carried out fasting therapy. 3. Results and Conclusions The general condition of the patient have improved incredibly, where the each scores at the tables dropped from 4 to 0,1 and their symptoms like rash, erythema, scaly skin, itching, edema have almost disappeared at the end of the hospitalization period. This indicates that Yangdokbaecho-tang and Galgeunhaegi-tang can be used to treat main symptoms of psoriasis and fasting therapy can be used as a subsidiary therapy for the psoriasis.

This paper suggested MyeonGu(面垢), symptom of Baekho-tang(白虎湯) in text 219 of Shang-Han-Lun(傷寒論), could be reinterpreted. There were 4 cases, 1 case on atopic dermatitis and 3 cases on psoriasis. All of them were diagnosed by Ying-Ming-Bing(陽明病) symptom. After taking Baekho-tang, SCORAD index of atopic dermatitis in case 1 improved 62.8 to 12.8 and PASI score of psoriasis in case 2, 3, and 4 improved 13.0 to 2.4, 10.8 to 0.8, and 8.6 to 1.0 respectively. Since Baekho-tang was effective for certain skin disease with Ying-Ming-Bing(陽明病) symptom, MyeonGu could be related on skin problem. MyeonGu was mainly translated in 'someone's face seems to be covered with dirt'. However if Myeon(面) is translated in 'surface of the body' and Gu(垢) is translated in 'inflammation', it means the surface of the body suffered from papules, erythema, white scales, etc. These are features of chronic inflammatory cutaneous disease like atopic dermatitis and psoriasis. This study is meaningful in case of giving specific clinical case of MyeonGu of Baekhotang text of Shanghanlun.

In VE(Value Engineering) process, function analysis technique is utilized as a stepping stone to induce creative idea. However, function analysis is regarded as the most difficult job for VE team to undertake. For this reason, the function analysis is not properly applied or even omitted in construction VE studies. The current problems of function analysis in construction VE are following: 1) lack of basic understanding of the function analysis as problem solving technique, 2) the sequential step-by-step analysis process, 3) lack of interrelationship between function analysis and other phase in th VE process, 4) lack of time, experience, training, and quantitative data etc. The existing function analysis is faultiness theoretically. However, it is not enough for efficient use in practice, Thus The study aims to suggest an function analysis application method and to develop a computerized FAST(function Analysis System Technique) diagramming model, called Easy-FAST, for the efficient and effective function analysis on construction VE projects.
