In this paper, the contribution of task types and error types involved in the human-related unplanned reactor trip events that have occurred between 1986 and 2006 in Korean nuclear power plants are analysed in order to establish a strategy for reducing the human-related unplanned reactor trips. Classification systems for the task types, error modes, and cognitive functions are developed or adopted from the currently available taxonomies, and the relevant information is extracted from the event reports or judged on the basis of an event description. According to the analyses from this study, the contributions of the task types are as follows: corrective maintenance (25.7%), planned maintenance (22.8%), planned operation (19.8%), periodic preventive maintenance (14.9%), response to a transient (9.9%), and design/manufacturing/installation (6.9%). According to the analysis of the error modes, error modes such as control failure (22.2%), wrong object (18.5%), omission (14.8%), wrong action (11.1 %), and inadequate (8.3%) take up about 75% of the total unplanned trip events. The analysis of the cognitive functions involved in the events indicated that the planning function had the highest contribution (46.7%) to the human actions leading to unplanned reactor trips. This analysis concludes that in order to significantly reduce human-induced or human-related unplanned reactor trips, an aide system (in support of maintenance personnel) for evaluating possible (negative) impacts of planned actions or erroneous actions as well as an appropriate human error prediction technique, should be developed.

Trichloroethylene (TCE, $C_2HCl_3$), which was introduced as a gas for general anesthesia and analgesia in early 1900's has been widely used in industry as an organic solvent. Occupational exposure to TCE is an important medical problem. Manifestations of acute exposure to TCE include mucocutaneous irritation, hepatotoxicity, cognitive impairment, sleep, headache, respiratory insufficiency and death. We report a 38-year-old man who was admitted to a department of emergency medicine after occupational inhalation exposure to TCE. He rapidly developed semicoma and respiratory depression. After mechanical ventilation, hypercapnea and hypoxemia disappeared and his mental state again became alert. Careful evaluation and proper respiratory support are important for respiratory failure after occupational TCE inhalation.

In this study, 'Instruments of the achievement attribution in mathematical learning' was develop to investigate the reasons of mathematical learning achievement by reflecting Korean middle school and high school students' psychological characters and learning context in mathematical learning. To develop the appropriate items for the achievement attribution in mathematical learning, after reviewing attribution literature thoroughly, first version of the instrument was developed and Exploratory Factor Analysis and Confirmatory Factor Analysis were conducted. Then, to reduce the effect of the gender difference and achievement level difference, Differential Item Functioning was performed. Also, using Multiple group Confirmatory Factor Analysis, this instrument was investigated to see whether this can be used for both middle school and high school. The final items for success attribution are 3 items for luck, 3 items for effort, 2 items for ability. The failure attribution were composed of 3 items for luck, 3 items for effort, 2 items for ability, and 2 items for other. The instrument was developed by using large samples and psychometric analysis. Therefore, mathematic teachers can use this instrument efficiently to make a foundation for better learning environment so students' cognitive area and affective area can be harmonized.

본 연구는 서비스실패가 아니라 제품실패 이후, 회복노력의 효과를 실패심각성에 따라 확인하는 것이다. 회복노력은 보상노력, 장점노력 및 단점노력으로 구분되었다. 보상노력은 실패상황을 직접적으로 되돌리려는 의도로 구체적인 보상을 제공하는 방안으로, 장점노력은 제품실패를 초래하는 이유가 특정한 장점을 추구하는 과정에서 불가피하게 발생할 수 있는 문제임을 언급하는 것과 같이 추가적인 상대적 장점을 설명하는 방식으로, 그리고 단점노력은 자사제품이 서비스실패를 초래할 수 있는 문제점을 지니고 있는 반면에 경쟁제품은 또 다른 측면의 단점을 지니고 있다는 점을 부각시켜 소비자의 자사제품에 대한 부정적 태도를 회복시키려고 방안이라고 개념화되었다. 그러한 회복노력들이 실질적으로 효과가 있다고 결론을 내리기 위해서, 회복노력이 제공되지 않는 상황과 비교하여 소비자의 태도나 의향이 우호적인지 검토된다. 가설검증을 위해 화장품산업에서 소비자들을 대상으로 가상적인 시나리오를 이용한 실험을 실시하였다. 연구 결과, 전반적으로 회복노력들은 효과적인 전략임이 확인되었고, 보상노력은 장점노력이나 단점 노력보다 효과적이었다. 특히 심각성이 높은 실패조건에서 단점노력은 장점노력보다 긍정적인 제품태도를 유도하였다. 심각성이 낮은 실패조건에서 장점노력과 장점노력의 효과는 기대할 수 없었다.

본 연구는 인간 로봇 상호작용에서 로봇의 사회적이고 관계적인 행동 유형이 인간의 인식에 끼치는 영향을 확인하고자 하였다. 이를 위한 실험에서는 연구 참여자들이 로봇 나오가 인간과 상호작용 하면서 로봇이 오류를 일으키고 신뢰회복을 위한 행동을 영상으로 시청한 후 로봇에 대한 신뢰를 평가하였다. 신뢰회복 행동은 로봇이 오류를 인정하고 사과하는 내부 귀인, 오류가 있었음을 사과하지만 외부로 귀인하는 조건, 오류 자체를 부인, 오류에 대해 아무런 사후 행동을 하지 않는 비 행동 조건으로 설정하였다. 이후 로봇에 대한 인간의 평가를 3가지 측면에서 분석하였다. 첫째, 로봇의 유능함과 정직성에 기반한 신뢰, 둘째 로봇에 대한 지각된 유능함과 정직성, 그리고 로봇의 오류로 인한 신뢰 위반에 대하여 오류의 심각성을 어떻게 지각하는지 탐색하였다. 실험의 결과는 3가지 모든 경우에서 로봇이 사과하지 않을 때보다 사과할 때 오류가 덜 심각하다고 지각하였으며 로봇에 대한 능력 또한 높이 평가하였다. 이러한 연구 결과는 로봇의 행동유형과 오류 극복 방법에 따라 로봇에 대한 인간의 태도가 민감하게 반응 할 수 있다는 근거를 제공하며 로봇에 대한 인간의 지각이 변할 수 있음을 시사한다. 특히 로봇이 스스로의 오류를 인정하고 사과하는 것이 더 신뢰를 높인다는 결과는 로봇이 인간처럼 사회적이고 매너있는 행동을 통해 긍정적인 인간 로봇상호작용을 증진시킬 수 있음을 보여준다.

Collaborative learning encourages the use of high-level cognitive strategies, critical thinking, and interpersonal relationships. Despite these advantages, most instructors reveal the difficulties of using project-based collaborative learning; a common problem is the failure of the group to work effectively together. Thus, this study attempted to provide practical advice on group composition with self-regulation. In a college course, 31 groups with 129 students were asked to discuss and prepare the final presentation material and present it together as a collaborative work. All students' self-regulation skills were measured at the beginning of the semester, and the collective self-regulation was computed as an average of the individual scores of each group. The results of regression analysis indicate that the group's collective self-regulation shows a highly significant positive effect on group performance and satisfaction, as self-regulation predicts individual academic performance. The results also show that there is a significant positive relationship between students' self-regulation and participation in group work.

For almost 20 years, data regarding the effect of rhythm control therapy for atrial fibrillation (AF) on cardiovascular prognosis in comparison with rate control therapy has not been conclusive. The safety of rhythm control and anticoagulation therapy has generally improved. Recently, it was revealed that a rhythm-control strategy reduced the risk of adverse cardiovascular events than usual rate control in patients with recent AF (diagnosed within 1 year). Within 1 year after the AF diagnosis, early initiation of rhythm control led to more favorable cardiovascular outcomes than rate control. Early rhythm control reduced the risks of stroke and heart failure-related admission than rate control. Moreover, rhythm control was associated with lower dementia risk than rate control. Finally, early rhythm control treatment was also effective in patients with asymptomatic AF but less effective in older adults. Therefore, in patients with AF, rhythm control should be considered at earlier stages, regardless of symptom.

본 연구는 유발된 정서가 뒤따르는 수 연산과제에 미치는 간섭현상의 종류와 크기를 확인해 보기 위해 수행되었다. 유발된 정서상태의 유지가 작업기억 요소 간 원활한 수행을 간섭할 수 있는 단계별 인지과제 처리 과정을 통해 자극유형 및 정서의 종류가 기초 연산(fundamental arithmetic operation)과제 수행에 미치는 영향을 알아 보았다. 피험자는 인구학적 변인에서 거의 차이가 없는 균질적인 대학생 집단으로 구성되었으며, 사전 연습시행에서 표정모방을 통해 유발된 정서를 유지하면서 후속되는 연산과제 수행 및 제시되는 답의 정오를 판단하도록 지침을 받았다. 분석결과, 자극유형 간에 간섭의 크기에서는 차이가 없었으나 유발된 정서의 종류 간에는 차이가 발견되었다. 유발된 정서의 시간지연 주효과가 계산과정의 어느 단계에 영향을 주었는지를 알아보기 위해, 자극 유형별로 정서 간 오류율과 지연 정반응률을 구하여 함께 분석하였는데, 긍정정서(기쁨조건)의 시간지연이 문장자극일 때에는 오류율 간 차이로, 그림자극일 때에는 지연 정반응률 간 차이로 나타남을 확인하였다. 이와 같은 결과는 유발된 긍정 정서의 영향이 부정정서(분노 및 슬픔 조건)에 비해 계산지연을 확대시키는 방향으로 나타났다는 점 외에 문장자극의 정서유발이 계산실패로 이어지기 쉬운 반면, 그림자극의 정서유발은 계산요동으로 이어지기 쉬운 특성이 있는 것으로 그 주효과의 영향이 분리될 수 있음을 시사한다고 하겠다.

Chronic postsurgical pain (CPSP) is an unwanted adverse event in any operation. It leads to functional limitations and psychological trauma for patients, and leaves the operative team with feelings of failure and humiliation. Therefore, it is crucial that preventive strategies for CPSP are considered in high-risk operations. Various techniques have been implemented to reduce the risk with variable success. Identifying the risk factors for each patient and applying a timely preventive strategy may help patients avoid the distress of chronic pain. The preventive strategies include modification of the surgical technique, good pain control throughout the perioperative period, and preoperative psychological intervention focusing on the psychosocial and cognitive risk factors. Appropriate management of CPSP patients is also necessary to reduce their suffering. CPSP usually has a neuropathic pain component; therefore, the current recommendations are based on data on chronic neuropathic pain. Hence, voltage-dependent calcium channel antagonists, antidepressants, topical lidocaine and topical capsaicin are the main pharmacological treatments. Paracetamol, NSAIDs and weak opioids can be used according to symptom severity, but strong opioids should be used with great caution and are not recommended. Other drugs that may be helpful are ketamine, clonidine, and intravenous lidocaine infusion. For patients with failed pharmacological treatment, consideration should be given to pain interventions; examples include transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation, botulinum toxin injections, pulsed radiofrequency, nerve blocks, nerve ablation, neuromodulation and surgical management. Physical therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy and lifestyle modifications are also useful for relieving the pain and distress experienced by CPSP patients.
