Purpose: Ineffective communication between healthcare professionals leads to medical errors and puts patients at risk of harm. The aim of this study was to examine the effects of interdisciplinary communication training in simulated settings on self-confidence in communication, observed communication behavior, and technical skill performances of nursing students. Methods: A repeated measures design with one group was conducted. Data was collected from 92 nursing students through a self-administered questionnaire and an observed behavior checklist. Data analysis was performed using descriptive statistics, a paired t-test, the Wilcoxon signed rank test, the Friedmann test, a Repeated Measures ANOVA, and the Spearman correlation coefficient. Results: Self-confidence in communication, observed Identification-Situation-Background-Assessment-Recommendation-Read Back communication behavior, and technical skill performances of nursing students were significantly improved. In observed communication behavior, the performance of Assessment and Read Back communication significantly improved. However, communication of Background, Assessment, and Recommendation did not improve to a satisfactory level. Observed communication behavior was not correlated with the overall technical skill performance. Conclusion: These results indicate that interdisciplinary communication training in simulated settings was effective in improving nursing students' confidence and communication skills with physicians. Longitudinal studies with larger samples are recommended in order to verify the effects of interdisciplinary communication training on clinical outcomes as well as communication competence.

Recent narrow-band Ca photometry discovered two distinct red giant branch (RGB) populations in some massive globular clusters (GCs) including M22, NGC 1851, and NGC 288. In order to investigate the differences in light/heavy elements abundances between the two subpopulations, we have performed low-resolution spectroscopy for stars on the two RGBs in these GCs. We find a significant difference (more than $4{\sigma}$) in calcium abundance from the spectroscopic HK' index for both M22 and NGC 1851. We also find a more than $8{\sigma}$ difference in CN band strength between the Ca-strong and Ca-weak subpopulations. For NGC 288, however, we detect the presence of a large difference only in the CN strength. The calcium abundances of the two subpopulations in this GC are identical within errors. We also find interesting differences in CN-CH relations among these GCs. While CN and CH indices are correlated in M22, they show an anti-correlation in NGC 288. However, NGC 1851 shows no difference in CH between two groups of stars having different CN strengths. The CN bimodality in these GCs could be explained by pollution from intermediate-mass asymptotic giant branch stars and/or fast-rotating massive stars. For the presence or absence of calcium bimodality and the differences in CN-CH relations, we suggest these would be best explained by how strongly type II supernovae enrichment has contributed to the chemical evolutions of these GCs.

Efficient groundwater management requires accurate information about the water volume used. The pumped volume of groundwater can be indirectly estimated using empirical formulae based on electric power consumption. The purpose of this study is to test the accuracy of this indirect method. The Haean basin in Gangwon is located in a rural area, where majority of the groundwater extracted is used for irrigation. The pumped volume of groundwater indirectly estimated from electricity usage using these empirical formulae was compared with the actual pumped volume determined by conducting experiments on April 29 and May 19, 2017. The field survey collected data on electricity usage, pumped volume, and groundwater levels. Based on this measured data, correlations were calculated between electricity usage and pumping volume, as well as groundwater level and pumping rate. The results show that electricity usage and pumped volume measured for both wells (YHE1 and YHE2) are highly correlated (r=0.99, p<0.001). However, for YHE1, notably, the correlation between the groundwater level and pumping rate was not significant, and only some correlations were identified for these variables for the YHE2 test well. The average error with respect to the estimation of the actual pumped volume from the existing formula (1) and formulae (2) and (3) are +399% and -88%, respectively. To reduce these errors, these formulae need to consider other factors affecting the pumped volume.

수중 이동체의 시험평가 과정에서 정확한 거리 추정은 중요한 요소 가운데 하나이다. 특히, 도달 시간 값을 이용하여 거리를 추정하는 경우 상관 특성 등으로 인해 처프 신호인 Linear Frequency Modulation(LFM)과 같은 신호의 적용성이 높다. 하지만 이동성이 있는 도플러 천이 환경에서는 거리-도플러 커플링 효과로 인하여 측정 오류가 발생할 수 있다. 이에 본 논문에서는 거리-도플러 커플링 효과를 보상하여 도달 시간 값의 측정 오류를 감소시키는 신호를 제시한다. 제안된 신호는 2종류의 LFM 신호를 중첩하여 구성하였으며, 거리-도플러 커플링 효과를 최소화할 수 있다. 시뮬레이션을 통해 제안된 신호가 수중 이동체의 거리 추정에 있어서 거리-도플러 커플링 효과를 보상하여 도달 시간 값의 측정 오류를 줄이는 방법임을 확인하였다.

본 연구는 농업용 호소의 녹조발생을 간편하고, 효율적으로 진단할 수 있는 도구를 개발하고자 하였다. 2018년 4월~10월 동안 15개 농업용 호소에서 채취된 182개의 시료를 이용하여 식물플랑크톤 현존량을 반영할 수 있는 수질 이화학적 항목을 살펴보고자 식물플랑크톤과 TN, TP, Chl-a, SD 등의 상관계수(r)를 분석한 결과, 총 식물플랑크톤 현존량은 Chl-a (r=0.666), SD (r= -0.351)와 높은 상관관계, 남조류와 유해 남조류 현존량 역시 Chl-a과 각각 r=0.664, r=0.353, SD와 각각 r= -0.340, r= -0.338로 유의성 있는 상관관계를 보여주었으나 TN, TP의 항목과는 유의한 상관관계가 나타나지 않았다. Chl-a 농도는 SD와 r= -0.434의 상관관계를 보여주어 식물플랑크톤 현존량보다 높은 유사성을 나타냈으므로, 조류경보제에서 사용하는 유해 남조류 현존량 분석을 대신하여 녹조예찰을 위한 진단 요소항목으로 Chl-a와 SD를 선정하고 실시간 SD 실측 값을 이용하여 진단을 할 경우 그 결과에 대한 유의성이 있는 것으로 판단되었다. 녹조진단 도구는 SD와 탁도 측정방법을 변형한 역원뿔 모양의 용기와 녹조판단조견표로 구성되어 있으며, 현장수를 채취하여 녹조발생 정도에 따라 용기 내에 보이는 원형환의 개수 또는 각 원형환에 표시된 숫자를 관찰하고, 조류의 색도를 녹조판단조견표와 비교하여 최종 녹조단계를 판별할 수 있도록 하였다. 또한, 정확한 진단을 위해 Chl-a 농도와 원형환의 수에 근거한 4단계 진단 기준과 Hexa 코드명이 표기된 부채모양의 조견표를 제시하여 한가지 방법에 따른 변수와 오차를 보완하고 판단의 편리성을 함께 제공하였다. 이를 통해 농업용 호소의 녹조진단을 용이하게 할 수 있을 것으로 기대되며, 녹조관리방안 수립을 효율화하여 녹조로부터 안전하고 건강한 농업용수 확보가 가능할 것으로 판단된다.

본 연구는 문헌 및 현장에서 얻은 생물자원지식들의 가치를 평가하기 위해 전문가들을 대상으로 실시한 델파이 조사 (Delphi method)의 신뢰성을 평가하였다. 델파이조사는 전문가들이 다른 사람의 의견과 관계없이 독립적으로 전문성 있는 평가를 내린 다음에 다음 단계에서 다른 전문가들의 의견을 참고하며 자신의 의견을 수정하는 절차를 갖는다. 본 연구에서는 문헌에서 얻은 전통지식 100건, 현장에서 취득한 지식 100건 등, 모두 200건을 우선 선정한 후 전문가 6인을 선정하여 각 지식의 가치에 대하여 두 차례 평가하도록 하였다. 그 결과 두 차례의 평가점수는 연관성이 매우 높으면서 2차에서는 다른 전문가들의 의견을 수용해 어느 정도 자체수정이 발생하여 각 문항에 대한 평가점수의 표준편차가 줄어들었다. 본 조사의 신뢰성 (reliability)을 파악하기 위해 일반적인 신뢰도 계수인 크론바하 알파와 함께 일반화가능도 (generalizability) 계수를 구하였다. 이 두 신뢰도 분석을 통해 2차 평가 후 평가의 신뢰도가 상승하여 전문가에 의한 델파이 조사의 신뢰도가 매우 높다는 사실을 지지하였으나 일반화 가능도 분석 결과를 해석하는 과정에서 다른 결과를 유추할 수 있었다. 신뢰도계수가 증가하였음에도 불구하고 평가자간의 편차는 증가하여 신뢰도가 높아진 것은 평가가 상향되고 평균에 회귀하는 경향으로 잔차변동이 줄어서이지 평가자간의 의견수렴이 이루어진 결과로 볼 수는 없다는 사실이었다. 이러한 결과를 토대로 신뢰도 계수와 함께 평가자 간의 분산을 파악하여 델파이조사의 추가적인 단계 (round)가 필요함을 제시하였다.

This study was designed to investigate effects of relative humidity on the breakthrough of charcoal tubes at a fixed vapor concentration and sampling time during mixed organic vapor sampling. A vapor generator was used to generate three different concentrations of mixed organic vapor and a stainless steel chamber was fabricated and utilized to maintain three different percentages of relative humidity while maintaining a constant temperature. The results were as follows; 1. At high relative humidity, breakthrough of mixed organic vapor occurred quickly at low vapor concentration than at high vapor concentration because of the reduced adsorption volume of charcoal tube due to humidity. 2. Breakthrough by competitive adsorption of vapors onto charcoal tube was observed at first from n-hexane having the lowest boiling point and highest vapor pressure among the three organic vapors investigated, followed by TCE. No breakthrough was observed from toluene under all experimental conditions. 3. For n-hexane, breakthrough was observed after 2 hours of sampling and breakthrough rates were increased as relative humidity increased. For TCE, breakthrough was found after 3 hours of sampling and breakthrough rates by sampling time were increased as vapor concentration increased. 4. The adsorbed amount of mixed organic vapor at breakthrough was shown to have statistically significant correlations with sampling time, relative humidity, and vapor concentration in descending order of correlation. Relative humidity and sampling time for n-hexane and sampling time and concentration for TCE were both statistically significantly correlated. 5. Relative humidity was found to affect the amount of breakthrough of mixed organic vapor and n-hexane. Among three percentages of relative humidity investigated, the amount of breakthrough at 85 % relative humidity was significantly larger than those of at lower percentages of relative humidity. No statistically significant difference was found between 25 % and 55 % relative humidity. 6. The results of multiple regression analysis between breakthrough and relative humidity, vapor concentrations showed that the coefficient of determination of mixed organic vapor was 0.263 and those of n-hexane and TCE were 0.275 and 0.189, respectively. 7. Flow rates of sampling pumps used were found to be affected by relative humidity present. At 25 %, 55 %, and 85 % relative humidity, the relative errors of sampling pump were 1.4 %, 13.4 %, and 18.6 %, respectively. In conclusion, the results of this study showed that high relative humidity could reduce the adsorption volume of charcoal tubes and subsequently increase breakthrough rates. Therefore, to prevent breakthrough when sampling mixed organic vapors, it is suggested that either sampling volume be reduced on the flow rate be lowered so as to minimize breakthrough of the most volatile organic vapor in the mixture. In addition, since the flow rates of a sampling pump can be adversely affected by high relative humidity, it is recommended to use a constant flow mode pump when sampling in the highly humid environment.

The supply of different fatty acids during the development period has significant effects. This study examined the effects of dietary $\omega$3 and $\omega$6 fatty acid compositions on phospholipids (PLs) of RBC and rat brain subcellular fractions (synaptosome, microsome, mitochondria), and on learning ability of the 2nd generation rat. Rats were fed experimental diets 3-4 wks prior to the conception. Early in the lactation period, the feeding mothers were exchanged. Diets consisted of 10% fat(by weight), which was either safflower oil('S') poor in $\omega$3 fatty acids or computer-searched mixed oil('M') with P/M/S ratio, 1/1.4/1 and $\omega$6/$\omega$3 ratio, 6.1/1. The 'S' and 'M' rats were subdivided further into SS, SM, MS & MM rats according to their lactation stauts. At 3 (weaning) & 9 wks of age, the percentage of total $\omega$3 fatty acids to their lactation status. At 3 (weaning) & 9 wks of age, the percentage of total $\omega$3 fatty acids and the ratios of $\omega$3/$\omega$6 fatty acids in PLs of RBC and brain subcellular fractions in SM and MM groups fed milk from the mixed oil-fed mothers for 2 wks tended to be higher than those in SS and MS groups respectively. In contrast, the concentrations of $\omega$6 fatty acids, especially 22:5$\omega$6 in all fractions, were significantly lower in the SM & MM groups compared to those of the SS & MS groups respectively. In contrast, the concentration of $\omega$6 fatty acids, especially 22:5$\omega$6 in all fractions, were significantly lower in the SM & MM groups compared to those of the SS & MS groups, The values for the DHA$\omega$3/22:5$\omega$6 ratios after the lactation period were markedly higher in the groups (SM & MM) which were reared by mixed oil(MO) fed mothers. In carring out Y-water maze at 9th wk of age, the SM(4.2$\pm$0.5) & MM (5.3$\pm$0.5) groups made significantly less errors compared to the SS(6.2$\pm$0.6, p<0.05 compared with SM) & MM (7.2$\pm$0.5, p<0.05 compared with MM) groups which were lactated by the safflower oilfed mothers. Therefore, by feeding a balanced fatty acid diet from the lactation period up to 9 wks of age as compared with the groups fed $\omega$3 fatty acid-deficient diet regardless of mother's diet given before parturition. The levels of DHA(synaptosome) and 22:5$\omega$3 (mitochondria) were positively correlated not only with these values in RBC but also with visual discriminating ability. The levels of DHA and 22:5$\omega$3 in RBC can, therfore, reflect visual discriminatng ability in the rat.
