Purpose: This study was performed to identify skin hydration status and skin surface pH according to the body parts of the aged with immobilization. Methods: The subjects were 101 aged patients in a hospital and a institution for the elderly in Seoul. Data for skin hydration and skin surface pH were collected using corneo-meter and skin pH-meter. The body parts of measurement were 10 parts; face, forearm, back of the hand, flank, upper abdomen, leg, back of the foot, heel, scapular, and sacrum. The data were analyzed by SPSS/WIN 12.0 program. Results: Skin hydration status were relatively low especially on lower extremity and back of body, and skin surface pH of scapular and sacrum were high. There was significant negative correlation between skin hydration status and skin surface pH on the 6 body parts. Conclusion: Skin hydration status and skin surface pH, especially on scapular, sacrum, and lower extremity need to be considered as important control factors for increasing skin health status of the aged with immobilization.

최근 교통사고의 증가와 평균수명의 연장으로 인한 노인 인구의 급증으로 중추신경계의 기능에 손상을 초래하는 각종 질환들 즉 뇌졸중, 외상성 뇌손상, 뇌성마비 및 퇴행성 뇌질환 등이 더욱 많아지고 있다. 이러한 질환들은 뇌기능 장애로 인한 운동, 감각 및 인지능력 저하를 일으켜 보행과 일상생활 동작수행에 큰 장해를 초래하게 된다. 특히 보행능력의 장해는 일상생활 및 사회생활에 필요한 기동력을 제한하므로 결국 타인에 의존적이 되고 사회로부터 고립되는 심각한 기능장애를 일으키게 된다.(중략)

Purpose: The purpose of the study was to investigate activities-specific balance confidence and risk of fallings among rehabilitation patients with impaired of mobility, and to identify the influence of activities-specific balance confidence on their risk of fallings. Method: Data for 132 rehabilitation patients were collected between October June 20 and August 20, 2012 at nine hospitals in a metropolitan city. Data were analyzed using t-test, ANOVA, Pearson correlation coefficient and stepwise multiple regression with SPSS/WIN 20.0. Result: The mean score for rehabilitation patients' activities-specific balance confidence was 40.18 out of a possible range of 0-100 and the mean score for risk of fallings among rehabilitation patients was 31.10 within a possible range of 0-125. Significant factors affecting the risk of fallings among the rehabilitation patients were 'activity level', 'dementia', 'body mass index', 'anxiety', and 'presence of a caregiver', which together explained 34.7% of the variance. The most significantly factor influencing rehabilitation patients' risk of fallings was activities-specific balance confidence which explained 23.5% of the variance. Conclusion: The study results indicate that activities-specific balance confidence as well as physical factors should be considered for interventions to decrease risk of fallings in rehabilitation patients with impaired mobility.

본 연구의 목적은 설문조사기법을 통하여 경찰의 휴대용 장비의 사용실태를 조사하여 경찰의 작업부하 (work stress)를 가중시키는 장비와 설계요소를 규명하는데 있다. 또한 인간공학적 측면에서의 장비분석을 통 하여 경찰 임무 수행능력의 제고와 경찰의 사기전작에 기여할 수 있는 사용자 중심의 휴대용 장비개발의 필요성 을 제시하였다. 현대사회에 있어서 경찰은 타 직종에 비해 그 작업부하(work sterss)의 수준이 매우 높으며, 더 우기 다양한 원인에 의한 재해 가능성 또한 커서 위험한 직업으로 평가 된다. 이러한 이유로 인해 상당수의 경찰 관등이 여러 직업성 질환에 노출되고 있다. 설문조사 분석결과, 현재 사용되고 있는 휴대용 장비 중 무전기, 경찰 혁대, 경찰단화, 정모, 근무복, 우의, 신호봉 등 7가지 조사대상 장비 모두가 사용이 불편한 것으로 나타났고, 이 러한 불편함으로 인하여 사용자의 대부분이 신체적 불편함을 경험한 것으로 조사되었으며, 이외에도 발바닥, 머리, 다리 및 무릎 등의 부위가 불편한 것으로 나타났다. 또한 임무수행시 현재 사용되고 있는 휴대용장비가 기동성에 장애를 주며, 근무의욕 및 사기에도 크게 영향을 주는 것으로 나타났다.

Hen's eggs have been regarded as one of the best animal bioreactors to produce biologically active peptides originated from many organisms including human. Despite the last decade's efforts to produce transgenic chicken for any commercial purposes, the results so far reported are very disappointing, indicating that hen's eggs are very difficult to crack for transgenesis. Comparatively large female gamete with enormous amount of yolk may be one of the major obstacles in achieving a similar feat to those of other vertebrate species including mouse, sheep, fish and frog. The delay or less efficiency evidenced may instruct to try an alternative way of gens transfer into chicken egg. Sperm-mediated gene transfer is one of them, and may require a great deal of understanding of mechanisms involved in early fertilization and embryonic development. In other animals where the technique was successful, basic mechanisms have been well studied and established only by painstaking efforts for decades. This paper discusses the accumulated knowledge on early fertilization mechanism in the chicken and how can this information be utilitzed to find the alternative gene transfer in making transgenic chicken.

전력산업 분야에서는 전용무선망으로 TRS를 사용하고 있다 TRS(Trunked Radio System, 주파수공용통신시스템)는 전국적으로 설치되어 현장에서 작업중인 전력설비 보수원들에게 음성지령과 상호간 통신수단으로 활용되고 있고, 데이터 통신용으로는 설비에 대한 제어정보 취득과 상태정보를 감시하는 용도로 주로 사용되고 있다. 하지만 이동 환경에서 데이터통신망으로서 TRS의 활용은 음영지역 편재, 잦은 대역폭, 잦은 접속에러 등의 장애요소로 현장에서 필요한 정보를 제공할 수 있는 모바일 시스템 구축에는 어려움이 있었다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 TRS를 이용하여 이동중인 전력설비 보수차량에게 작업지시서를 전송하고 그 작업결과를 다시 호스트 서버로 전송받을 수 있는 모바일 환경에서의 메시지 송수신 모델 설계결과를 기술하였다.

Cost reduction requires lowering number of power devices used in the converter driving SRM. This is quite feasible in SRM drive systems than in other drive systems. This paper deals with analysis and simulation of a novel two phase SRM. A novel two phase SRM has high performance, self-starling capability, high efficiency, and low manufacturing cost. Additionally, the stator back iron does not experience any flux reversal as the flux is in the same direction whether phase A or B is excited leading to a greater reduction in core losses. The magnetic analysis and design considerations of the novel two phase SRM have been obtained by the finite element analysis (FEM).

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate the degree of fatigue and its related factors in cancer patients during chemotherapy. Methods: The subjects of this study consisted of 90 patients over 20 years old who were receiving chemotherapy at the injection room of the o.p.d. and ward admission care unit in a University hospital located in Gwang-ju city and data were collected from August 8th to October 2nd, 2002. Collected data were analysed using SPSS v 10.0. to obtain summary statistics for the descriptive analysis, t-test, ANOVA, pearson correlation, and multiple regression. Results: 1. Fatigue of the subjects was significantly correlated with physical distress score. and 6 items of subscale those were nausea, vomiting, anorexia, pain, and immobility, showed statistically significant correlation. 2. Fatigue of the subjects showed statistically significant differences according to a nap satisfaction. Fatigue of the subjects was significantly correlated with mood state, Also, all 5 items of subscale, which are those were anxiety, confusion, depression, energy, and anger showed statistically significant correlations. 3. Fatigue of the subjects showed statistically significant differences according to metastasis, chemotherapy cycle, post operation existence, post radiation therapy existence. There were significant negative correlation between fatigue and hematocrit and fatigue and weight change. There was no significant correlation between fatigue and spiritual well-being state. With the result to multiple regression, Immobility, Anorexia, Anger explained fatigue by, pain, and immobility showed statistically significant correlation.
