Background: The organizational citizenship behavior is generally known as the important factor relevant to the organizational effectiveness. This research examined the mediating effect of the organizational citizenship behavior of hospital employees on the organizational effectiveness. Methods: Data were collected from 1,112 employees located in city of Seoul, Kyunggi and Chungnam province through self-administered questionnaires. Collected data were analyzed using IBM SPSS ver. 20.0, frequency analysis, t-test, analysis of variance, regression analysis, and path analysis. The main findings of the study are as follows. Results: First, it was found that many characteristics variables of personality, job, and relationship together affected organizational citizenship behavior of hospital employees. Especially, the following variables of negative affectivity, desire for growth, job value, job significance, and job security were found to have significant effect on the organizational citizenship behavior of hospital employees. Second, the results of path analysis showed that, through the mediating effect of organizational citizenship behavior, personality variables of positive and negative affectivity, and desire for growth, job characteristics variables of job value, job significance, and job security, and relationship variables of organizational support and task interdependence, had significant total effects on the level of job satisfaction of hospital employees. Conclusion: As a result, the organizational citizenship behavior seems to have both direct and indirect effects on the organizational effectiveness of hospital employees. Based on above findings, some theoretical and practical implications were discussed.

The research was carried out to define the morphological and growth characteristics of Poa pratensis L. (Kentucky bluegrass) 'Pureundul' native to Korea. Poa pratensis 'Pureundul' was collected from the belt highway around Mt. Uam located in Naedeok-dong, Cheongju City, Chungcheongbuk-do Province on May 5, 1995. The morphological characteristics of 'Pureundul' were compared with those of 205 individuals of native Poa pratensis collected throughout the nation from June 11, 2000 to June 21, 2003. The findings were as follows : The height of plant was 28.2cm but increased to 40.0cm at the flowering time. The height of first node from the base was 6.8cm and the length and width of leaf were 17.3cm and 2.9mm, respectively. The length of a spike was 7.9cm. Based on these morphological characteristics, 'Pureundul' was defined medium type Kentucky bluegrass. Visual quality(1~9), visual color and visual density were measured. The visual quality, color and density of 'Pureundul' were not superior to those of introduced species but above the average other native species. The damages from the diseases during summer resulted in poorer visual quality of color of 'Pureundul'. But the spread of the diseases was slower in 'Pureundul' than other native species, and accordingly 'Pureundul' didn't suffer from more quality deterioration from July to September during which the diseases broke out. Entering fall, 'Pureundul' showed high quality comparable to that of the introduced species. If 'Pureundul' is put to breeding by implementing pest control in summer and introducing disease tolerant genes, it will be used to make greens of greater quality than now.

In this study, the green zone patterns of sidewalks are classified 'one street-tree row + building,' 'one street-tree row + green zone,' 'two street-tree rows + building,' and 'two street-tree rows + green zone' and assessed their visual characteristic in order to provide desirable measures for scenery design. As a result of the analysis of visual images of sidewalk, the scenery in which street trees are planted in one row was generally assessed to be negative, while roads where green zones rather than buildings are adjacent were revealed to seem stable and pleasant. The scenery in which street trees are planted in two rows was assessed highly in an image of 'extensionality' indicating street circumstances, and especially the pattern 'two street-tree rows + green zone' was shown to be the most beautiful scenery. According to the results of factor analysis of sidewalks, three factors were identified : 'extensionality' showing sidewalk circumstances; 'peculiarity' including unique personality, and 'pliability' showing the organic flow of the scenery. The results of the analysis of visual preference of the scenery according to green zone patterns showed that the 'two street-tree rows + green zone' was measured to be highest. When buildings are adjacent to a sidewalk, two street-tree rows rather than one street-tree row were assessed to increase preference. As for the correlation between visual factors and preference analyzed through multiple regression analysis, all 'extensionality,' 'peculiarity,' and 'pliability' were revealed to show positive correlation for visual preference.

A high incidence of Anisakiasis has been reported in many countries where people eat frequently raw or undercooked seafood. Anisakis spp. larvae were obtained from the mackerel acquired from a fish market of Cheongju city. They were divided into several groups and placed in culture dishes containing RPMI-1640 (culture media), in the presence or absence of different concentrations of herbal extracts (Meliae ezadarach, Dryopteris crassirhizoma, Quisqualis indica var villosa). The objective of the present study was to investigate the activity of larval migration inhibition in vitro. Meliae ezadarach at the concentrations of 7.5, 15, and 30 mg/ml effectively inhibited the larvae migration in time-dependent manner during experimental period of 0-24 h. Treatment of Meliae ezadarach at the three concentrations completely inhibited the larvae migration in vitro. Dryopteris crassirhizoma at the concentrations of 5, 10, and 20 mg/ml also effectively inhibited the larvae migration in a time-dependent manner. The treatment of Dryopteris crassirhizoma for 12 h completely inhibited the larvae migration. The inhibitory effect of Dryopteris crassirhizoma was stronger than that of Meliae ezadarach. Although Quisqualis indica var villosa also showed the inhibitory effect on larvae migration, its inhibitory efficacy was the weakest among tested herbal extracts. These results indicated that some herbal extracts may be useful in controlling human anisakiasis.

Growth in population and urbanization has progressively increased the loadings of pollutants from non-point sources as well as point sources. Separated sewer overflows(SSO) have been considered as a major cause of water-quality deterioration of natural water-courses in the vicinity of the heavily urbanized areas. The factors defining the magnitude and occurrence of SSO are site-specific. It is important to know exact properties of pollutants contained in SSO to address water quality impacts that are caused by SSO inputs to the receiving waters. Site and event parameters found to have significant influences on urban runoff pollutant EMCs include total event rainfall, antecedent dry period, rainfall intensity. In this study, a field survey was carried out in some selected areas of Cheongju city. Literature from previous similar studies was consulted and some important factors affecting the runoff characteristics of urban drainage areas were analyzed for some selected survey points. It was found that the factors most affecting BOD are the number of dry days prior to rainfall and the intensity of the rainfall. The factor most affecting CODcr is the number of dry days prior to rainfall. The factors most affecting SS are the amount of rainfall and the number of dry days prior to rainfall. The factor most affecting TN is the amount of rainfall. The factor most affecting TP is the amount of rainfall and the number of dry days prior to rainfall.

This paper analyzed about gender difference in the achievement of underachievers of high school students while learning using technology. Participants were composed of 67 underachievers on first grade in high school located in a metropolitan city. That had never used a mathematics educational calculator before. Target participants were divided into two groups: experiment group that studied activity papers with a CAS calculator. And control group that studied the same activity papers using only paper-and-pencil. The content of the activity papers for the two groups was the same, but the structure differed. The two groups completed mathematics achievement tests both before and after the activity papers. The results are that find out no difference of the mathematics achievement between boys and girls in each group, and that the mathematics achievement of boys in experiment group are better than one of boys in control group, and also girls.

Nutrient intakes estimated using a 24-hr recall, a dirt record and a food frequency questionnaire(FFQ) were compared in a group of ninety-four elderly people(21 males, 73 females) in Cheongju, a city in Chung-Buk province. Mean intakes for energy, protein, Ca, p, Na, K thiamin and niacin obtained from the diet record were higher than those from the 24-hr recall. Mean intakes for energy, protein, Ca, P, Na, K thiamin, niacin and vitamin C from the FFQ were higher than those obtained from the 24-hr recall or the diet record. Correlation coefficients between the nutrient intake values from the 24-hr recall and those from the diet record ranged from 0.84 to 0.95 and were significantly correlated(p < 0.001). About 80% of the subjects in the lowest quintile by the 24-hr recall were also in the lowest two quintiles by the diet record. While the percentage fallen into the opposite category ranged from 0% to 15%. For most nutrients, at least 65% of the subjects when classified by the 24-hr recall fell into the same quintile when classified by the diet record, and the mean kappa value was 0.7. About 52% of the subjects in the lowest category by the 24-hr recall fell into the lowest two categories by FFQ. The mean percentage of the subjects in the lowest quintile by the diet record or in the lowest two quintiles by the FFQ was 51%. For most nutrients, at least 24% of each of the subjects when classified by both the 24-hr recall and the diet record fell into the same category when classified by the FFQ. The kappa values between the 24-hr recall or the diet recall and the FFQ were 0.17. These data indicate that in elderly subjects the 24-hr recall can provide very similar information to that obtained from the diet record but the FFQ can not provide good information if the right FFQ method is not used for only elderly subjects.
