The purpose of this correlational study was to offer strategies for nursing intervention to improve compliance with prenatal care. This study was designed to investigate degree of tardiness, correlation between hardiness and compliance with prenatal care. In research, the characteristic of hardiness has 1 teen demonstrated in resolving stressful situaltions and in adapting to overcome physical and psycho-logical tension. pregnancy is normal crisis process. Therefore, it is necessary to investigate degree of hardiness in normal pregnant woman and I think that concept of hardiness is able to become a new, important concept for prenatal care imtervention. The subjects were 388 normal pregnant woman over five months, who were selected from five university hospitals and two health centers in Taegu. Data were obtained using a convenience sample technique. Data collection was done from March 6 to June 18, 1992. The instruments used for this study were the Health Related Hardiness Scale developed by Pollock(1984) and compliance with a prenatal care scale developed by the author on the basis of results of a literature review. Data were analyzed using the SAS program for t - test, ANOVA, Scheffe test, Pearson correlation and stepwise multiple regression. The results are as follows : 1. The scores on the hardiness scale ranged from 35 to 210 with mean of 88.89. 2. The scores on the compliance with prenatal care scale ranged from 28 to 140 with a mean of 111.49. 3. There were significant differences between hardiness and obstetrical characteristic factors, duration of pregnancy, frequency of pregnancy, frequency of abortion(P .05). 4. There were significant differences between compliance with prenatal care and general and obstetircal characteristic factors, education and frequency of pregnancy(P .05). 5. Correlations between hardiness and compliance with prenatal care were all negative and significant(r=-.2276~ -.2930, P .000). Challenge of hardiness components was the low est (r= -.2814). 6. Significant differences between hardiness and compliance with prenatal care by group were as follows : Group 1 was the high est, whereas Group 8 was the lowest(F=5.47, P .0000). 7. Factors influencing compliance with prenatal care were : 1) Challenge was the main variable and accounted for 7.92% of the total variance. 2) Education and frequency of pregnancy accounted for an additional 2.74% of the total variance. From the above findings, this study suggests the following : 1) Considering the lack of empirical support, the theroy of hardiness needs to be evaluated. 2) A valid, reliable and culturally appropriate instrument needs to be developed for Health Related Hardiness Scale. 3) There is a need for further study of hardiness in a broad variety of populations. 4) There is a need for comparative study correlation between hardiness and compliance with prenatal care in woman with normal and abnormal pregnancies

This study aims to analyze the accidents of green mode bicycle. In pursuing the above, this study gave special emphasis on modeling the bicycle accidents reflecting the regional characteristics. The main results are as follows. First, the null hypotheses that the number of accident and ratio of serious injury and fatality (FSI) were the same over regions were rejected. Second, as the common variables, the number of bicycle was judged to have positive (+) impact to the accidents and the bicycle using ratio was inferred to increase the ratio of FSI. Third, the elderly population ratio among 3 factors which gave impact to the accidents of Si_A (city-county consolidation) was concluded to have the greatest elasticity. The developed area ratio between 2 factors in Si_B (city which is not consolidated) was, however, estimated to have the higher elasticity. Fourth, the number of car registration among 5 accident factors of Gun (county) was analyzed to have the greatest elasticity. Finally, the commuting trip ratio among 7 accident factors of Gu (district) was judged to have the greatest elasticity. This study can be expected to give some implications to regional policy-making related to bicycle.

We experimented variables of four kinds(a/d=1.5, 2.5, 3.5, 4.5) of shear span ratio to consider a structural characteristic of high-strength lightweight concrete beam used industrial by-product. Through the research of serials, the more increase of shear span ratio, the more ductility is superior. Rating the capacity of high-strength concrete beam and the capacity of lightweight concrete beam, in existing lightweight concrete beam evaluation formula, if a shear strength formula for normal concrete multiplies 0.85(reduction factor), it is rated as safety side over shear span ratio 2.5, but it is riskful at low shear span ratio. Therefore it is important that these factors are considered as the evaluation.

The purposes of this study were to investigate the qualities of infant day-care centers and the caregivers' interactions with infants. Forty-six day-care centers from Seoul, Daejeon, and Daegu were enrolled in this study. Two kinds of methods were used for data collection; one was the Assessment Scale for Infant/Toddler Care Center developed by Choi and the other was the Qualitative Rating Scale for Caregiver used in the NICHD Early Child Care Project. Frequency, percentile, Crollbach's, one-way ANOVA, and Pearson's correlation were calculated for data analysis. Qualities on 5 factors of infant day-care centers were ranged from 3.44∼4.35, the highest with health managing and the lowest with support system in the Likert 5-point scales. Sensitivity, developmental stimulation and positive regard to child, which are the caregiver's positive interactions with infants were rated minimally or usually characteristic. In addition, intrusiveness, detachment, negative regard to child and flatness, which are negative interactions with infants were rated never or minimally characteristic. Finally, some suggestions for good quality and facilitation of infant care were made.

The purpose of this study is to consider the interactivity which appeared on the fashion media that focus on Showstudio's fashion projects. Showstudio is a famous fashion site that was founded by the famous photographer, Nick Knight, which has displayed interactive projects with fashion designers and artists. The methods of this study are undertaken by theoretical studies and project analysis. The 38 projects under the 'interactive' category are being chosen among archive data and the project explanations, photos and videos provided from the site are studied. Interactivity of fashion projects in Showstudio is considered by main factors such as two-way communication, participation, user control, and responsiveness. Two-way communication appears as transactional communication in the creation process and feedbacks from contents of users. The characteristic of participation appears as participation in the creation process and the practical use of contents. User control appears as control of contents, user interface and streaming media systems. The characteristic of responsiveness appears as real time and synesthesia responsiveness between the user and contents. Showstudio show free communication through digital information transmit system and also indicate the opportunity of innovative interactions among users, media, and contents.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the factors that determine daily financial resources interchange between adult children and their parents. The data were drawn from KLIPS(Korea Labor and Income Panel Study), vol. 5(2002). From this dataset, one thousand eight hundred and thirty six adult children's households that had interchanged with or transferred financial resources to or from their parents were selected for this study. The results of this study were as follow: First, when compared to non-interchanging households, the households that interchanged financial resources with their parents tended to have a household head who is economically active, and had relatively plenty of financial resources. Second, the amount of the transaction was much larger for the adult children's households that were reciprocally interchanging financial resources with their parents than the households that transferred resources one-way, either taking from or giving to parents. Third, the main determinants of interchanges with their parents were the household head's demographic characteristic(sex, age, and education) and residential area what affected the amount of the exchanges, on the other hand, were the household head's demographic characteristic(sex, age, and education), household income, and assets.

Farmers seek for high profitability by increasing the best use of land, and the selection of crops is the first and basic way to achieve their goals. When farmers select crops, the climate, price and productivity of crops are usually considered at the first stage. However, a crucial factor is to understand general characteristics of soils where the crops were grown, but many farmers are lacking in detailed knowledge about soils. The purpose of this study is to search and analyses factors based upon related soil and others in decision-making for the selection of crops. In result, the cultivated rate of the top 5 corps in the suitable areas for cultivation (SAC) is only 53 % which shows most farmers are plants their crops in unsuitable sites. To examine factors influencing on the selection of crops except for soils, surveys about their farm characteristic and Korea Soil Information System (KSIS) were conducted. The result of survey shows 20 % of farmers know KSIS. To increase that rate, there were many changes on soil's characteristic, and at the same time, climate conditions should be updated. It can be expected to increase the rate of farmers' utilization of KSIS.

The purpose of this research was to develop a model that minimizes time and money for deriving topographical property factors and hydro-meteorological property factors, which are used in interpreting flood flow, and that makes it possible to forecast rainfall-runoff using a least number of factors. That is, the research aimed at suggesting a runoff interpretation method that considers the river branching characteristics but not the topographical and geological properties and the land cover conditions, which had been referred in general. The subject basin of the research was the basin of Yeongcheon Dam located in the upper reaches of the Kumho River. The parameters of the model were derived from the results of abstracting topological properties out of rainfall-runoff observation data about heavy rains and Digital Elevation Modeling(DEM). According to the result of examining calculated peak runoff, the Clark Model and the GIUH Model showed relative errors of 1.9~23.9% and 0.8~11.3%, respectively and as a whole, the peak values of hydrograph appeared high. In addition, according to the result of examining the time when peak runoff took place, the relative errors of the Clark Model and the GIUH Model were 0.5~1 and 0~1 hour respectively, and as a whole, peak flood time calculated by the GIUH Model appeared later than that calculated by the traditional Clark Model.
