Purpose: The purpose of this study was to identify the factors influencing intention of migration by Korean hospital nurses. Methods: Using cross sectional correlational design, data were collected from 512 nurses working in 7 hospitals ranging in size from 300 to 900 beds in D city and K province of Korea. Data were analyzed by descriptive statistics, chi-square, and multiple hierarchical regression using the SPSS program. Results: There were significant differences in intention of migration by age, educational background, marital status, work experience, and yearly incomes. Although there was high intention of migration of the subjects, the level of preparation for migration was relatively low. The variables that were independently associated with intention of migration were graduates of RN-BSN program, personal factors of subjects, and environmental factors. Those who had lower perception on nursing images and work condition had significantly higher intention of migration than those who had higher perception. Full model accounted for 37.3% of the variance in intention of migration. Conclusion: To prevent brain drain of competent nurses in Korea, appropriate strategies to enhance work condition should be developed and the effect of migration of nurses should be investigated in further studies.

Here we present the case of an 11-year-old female patient diagnosed with Caroli syndrome, who had refractory esophageal varices. The patient had a history of recurrent bleeding from esophageal varices, which was treated with endoscopic variceal ligation thrice over a period of 2 years. However, the bleeding was not controlled. When the patient finally visited the Emergency Department, the hemoglobin level was 4.4 g/dL. Transhepatic intrajugular portosystemic shunt was unsuccessful. Subsequently, the patient underwent percutaneous transhepatic variceal obliteration. Twenty hours after this procedure, the patient complained of aphasia, dizziness, headache, and general weakness. Six hours later, the patient became drowsy and unresponsive to painful stimuli. Lipiodol particles used to embolize the coronary and posterior gastric veins might have passed into the systemic arterial circulation, and they were found to be lodged in the brain, kidney, lung, and stomach. There was no abnormality of the portal vein on portal venography, and blood flow to the azygos vein through the paravertebral and hemiazygos systems was found to drain to the systemic circulation on coronary venography. Contrast echocardiography showed no pulmonary arteriovenous fistula. Symptoms improved with conservative management, and the esophageal varices were found to have improved on esophagogastroduodenoscopy.

식각 형상비에 의해 경사형 스페이스를 갖는 도핑 산화막을 이용한 LDD 영역을 갖도록 제작한 다결정 TFT의 새로운 구조를 제안한다. 소자 특성의 신뢰성을 위해 수소($H_2$)와 수소/플라즈마 처리 공정으로 다결정 실리콘에 수소 처리시킨 n-채널 다결정 실리콘 TFT 소자를 제작하였다. 소자에 최대 누설전류의 게이트 전압 조건에서 소자에 스트레스를 인가시켰다. 게이트 전압 스트레스 조건에 의해 야기되는 열화 특성인자들은 드레인 전류, 문턱전압($V_{th}$), 부-문턱전압 기울기(S), 최대 전달 컨덕턴스($g_m$), 그리고 파워인자 값을 측정/추출하였으며, 수소처리 공정이 소자 특성의 열화 결과에 미치는 관계를 분석하였다. 특성 파라미터의 분석 결과로써, 수소화 처리시킨 n-채널 다결정 실리콘 박막 트랜지스터에서 열화특성의 원인들은 다결정 실리콘/산화막의 계면과 다결정 실리콘의 그레인 경계에서 실리콘-수소 본드의 해리에 의한 현수 본드의 증가이었다. 이 증가가 소자의 핫-캐리어와 결합으로 개선된 열화 특성의 원인이 되었다. 따라서 새로 제안한 다결정 TFT의 구조는 제작 공정 단계가 간단하며, 소자 특성에서 누설전류가 드레인 영역 근처 감소된 수평 전계에 의해 감소되었다.

Objective : The aim of this study is to analyze on the external ventricular drainage [EVD] related ventriculitis, especially on their risk factors, management, and prevention. Methods : From January 2003 to December 2005, a total of 174 EVD catheters were placed in 112 patients at our institution. Of these patients, EVD-related ventriculitis were developed in 15 cases. Clinical variables such as age, sex, prior clinical diagnosis, placement of EVD insertion, duration of EVD, total numbers of EVD per person, and outcome were analyzed in theses cases to verify the risk factors, causative agents and outcomes. Results : Fifteen cases of EVD related ventriculitis were noted presenting infection incidence of 13.39 % per patient and 8.62% per procedure. Of these, five patients died from sepsis, seven patients were recovered from infection but neurological complications remained and three patients were recovered without any complications. Microbes were obtained from cerebrospinal fluid only in six patients. Acinetobactoer baumanii was the most common pathogen in our study [4 cases]. Among the various risk factors, only the prior clinical diagnosis showed the statistical significance. Patients who underwent decompressive craniectomy after severe brain trauma showed unfavorable outcome because of possible contaminative environment compared with other cases. Conclusion : EVD is considered as a safe procedure with good control of intracranial pressure if meticulous care is provided for EVD procedure and maintenance. With regards to risk factors and prevention, the higher incidence and unfavorable outcome was seen especially in patients with severe head trauma. Thus, special attention is required in these clinical settings.

오늘날 대학은 지역발전에 여러 가지로 기여하지만, 특히 대학에서 육성된 인재의 지역노동시장으로의 이전은 인적자본의 축적과 함께 지역경제의 경쟁력 확보에 중요하게 작용한다. 본 연구는 전남대학을 사례로 졸업생의 졸업에 있어 구조적 특성과 취업지의 분포, 그리고 취업전략을 규명하고자 한다. 전남대학 졸업생의 취업률 추이는 우리 나라 전체 대졸자 취업률을 경향적으로 좇아가지만, 지역의 취약한 산업구조로 인하여 전국 평균에 미치지 못하고 있다. 졸업생 가운데 취업자의 취업지 분포는 (대)도시로의 집중과 광주.전남지역 및 수도권으로의 양극화 현상을 뚜렷이 보여주며, 또한 이들 졸업생의 취업전략에 있어서는 직업적 유연성을 통해 노동시장의 요구에 대처하기보다는 공간적 이동성을 통한 적응을 선호하는 측면이 부각되고 있다. 전체적으로 전남대학 졸업생의 취업과 관련하여 이른바 두뇌유출 양상이 나타나며, 따라서 전남대학이 졸업생을 통하여 지역경제 발전과 국지적 노동시장의 자질개선에 기여하는 정도는 제한적임을 알 수 있다.

우리나라의 과도한 수도권 인구집중은 지역불균형발전의 원인으로 최근 지역인적자원육성 측면에서 중요한 문제로 제기된다. 인구이동은 지리적 이동임과 동시에 사회적 이동으로 수도권으로의 인구이동을 유출지역 입장에서 접근해 보면 유출지역의 배출요인과 이주자의 선별성으로 구분지어 검토해 볼 수 있다. 수도권으로의 이주에 이들이 미치는 상대적 중요도를 보면 전체적으로 연령이 가장 중요하게 나타나며, 제조업 비율, 농촌/도시가 이전에는 중요하였으나 점차 최근으로 오며 교육수준, 노동직 비율, 제조업 비율, 그리고 실업률이 중요한 지역 특성 변수로 등장하고 있다. 불균형발전이 심화되어 있는 우리나라의 실정에서 두뇌유출은 현실로 나타나고 있기에 이러한 결과는 지역차원의 인재육성과 더불어 지역내에서 양질의 취업기회를 통한 이들 인재의 확보를 위한 고려가 필요함을 보여주고 있다.

Background: Emigration of health-care workers is a problem within global health systems which affects many countries, including Peru. Several factors have caused health-care workers to emigrate, including burnout syndrome (BS). This study aims to identify the association between BS and its dimensions with the intention of physicians and nurses to emigrate from Peru in 2014. Methods: A cross-sectional study, based on a secondary analysis of the National Survey of Health Users (ENSUSALUD - 2014) was conducted. Sampling was probabilistic, considering the 24 departments of Peru. We include the questionnaire for physicians and nurses, accounting for 5062 workers. BS was measured by the Maslach Burnout Inventory-Human Services Survey. Adjusted odds ratio (OR) was calculated using multiple logistic regression. Results: Of the study population, 44.1% were physicians, 37.7% males, and 23.1% were working in Lima. It was found that 2.8% [95% confidence interval (CI): 2.19-3.45] of health-care workers had BS. The overall prevalence of intention to emigrate among health-care workers was 7.4% (95% CI: 6.36-8.40). Association was found between BS and intention to emigrate in Peruvian health-care workers (OR = 2.15; 95% CI: 1.05-4.40). Emotional exhaustion was the BS dimension most associated with intention to emigrate (OR = 1.80; 95% CI: 1.16-2.78). Conclusion: Physicians and nurses from Peru who suffered from BS were more likely to have intention to emigrate. Policies should be established to reduce BS as a strategy to control "brain drain" from health-care workers of Peru.

本文关注到与过去不同的新常态下 '新东北现象' 的复合特征,着重阐述最近 '新东北现象' 里的主要三个现象-经济现象, 人口现象, 财政现象。2014年以来东北地区经济增速减缓虽成大问题,同其间东北有关人口状况与财政支出结构变动也很突出。总之, 2014年以后在东北地区, 经济增长衰退, 人口减少与人才流失加剧, 老龄化提速, 财政收支缺口增加与社会保障支出激增, 这些现象都同时发生, 互相影响着产生恶性循环, 新常态下的 '新东北现象' 之难点就在这复合实质。那么, 新常态下的 '新东北现象' 之如此复合特征与难点给全中国何含意? 本文提出两点。第一, 基于近来中国一些有关状况变化趋势来看, 东北可以被视为中国的一个缩影, 新常态下的 '新东北现象' 不限于东北地区, 不久将来很可能扩散到中国其他区域, 会成为全中国现象。第二, 新常态下的 '新东北现象' 出现, 对于改革开发以来实行的西部大开发战略, 中部崛起战略, 东北振兴战略等一系列区域大开发战略的根本性效果, 要求深刻的反思且重新构想。这些区域发展战略, 虽有所成就, 中西部地区, 尤其是西部, 还仍然相对很落后, 中国区域差距一向没有缩小。振兴东北战略实行已有了20来年, 新常态下的 '新东北现象' 出现也显示长期以来困扰东北经济的深层次问题始终没有得到解决。近来习进平格外强调 '共同富裕', '新东北现象' 也成为本届中央政府最急切解决的问题之一, 如果成功了, 既能为重新构思和调整区域发展战略提出有效方向, 又能为对应未来中国经济社会变动成为一个重要标志。

Purpose - Competitive industry structure and recent economic depression challenge a survival of Korean small- and medium-sized food franchising companies (SMFCs), albeit the explosive growth of the Korean food service industry for last few decades. Against this backdrop, it examines how these SMFCs overcome liabilities of smallness and resource scarcity to strengthen competitive advantage in the market. To tackle this, in this article we focus on corporate entrepreneurship and human resources as a knowledge-based asset for these SMFCs. Furthermore, the ratio of employee turnover is high in SMFCs. We view that such brain-drain may result in poor performance of the Korean SMFCs. As such, we pay attention to the role of organizational commitment to an organization as a solution for enhancing individual-level employees' loyalty toward their organization. Research design, data, and methodology - Our research question is to what extent corporate entrepreneurship (i.e., innovative organizational culture, organizational autonomy, and administrative innovation) affects an individual-level attitude toward the organization and, in turn, employee creativity and satisfaction in the Korean SMFCs context. We collected data from employees in SMFCs for three months. A total of 126 valid questionnaires were collected, and analyzed the data using partial least squares path modeling. Results - The reliable and valid measurement model feed into testing the structural model. Our findings suggest that innovative organizational culture and organizational autonomy positively affect employee commitment. Particularly, organizational autonomy has a greater effect than innovative culture on employee commitment. However, the relationship between administrative innovation and employee commitment is not significant. We also find that employee commitment positively affects both employee creativity and satisfaction. Conclusions - Our contribution to the existing franchising business and management literature is twofold. First, the conceptual model includes three antecedents in the organizational entrepreneurship dimension to organizational commitment. Second, we conceptualize organizational commitment as employee commitment, and validate its impact on employee creativity and job satisfaction at an individual performance level. Overall, this article suggests that it is critically important for the Korean SMFCs to develop corporate entrepreneurship in order to facilitate employees' positive attitudes toward their organizations.
