Objectives: Although Asian immigrants have lower rates of smoking and binge drinking than other ethnics in the US, Korean Americans have the highest rate of Asian immigrants. This study, therefore, compared with the rates and examined the predictors of smoking and binge drinking by gender and ethnicity among Asian immigrants in California. Methods: In 2001 and 2003, California Health Interview Survey (CHIS) were conducted in English and their original languages with Asian immigrants residing in 58 Counties and 3 Cities, California. We performed analysis to find out the differences of smoking and binge drinking rates using the secondary data, CHIS 2001 and 2003. Multiple logistic regression analysis for survey data identified predictors of smoking and binge drinking behaviors by gender and ethnicity. Results: Korean American males (35.4%) and Japanese American females (15.4%) had higher rates of smoking prevalence compared with other Asian immigrants in California. In binge drinking, 26.5% of male and 8.1% of female among Korean Americans were binge drinker, and the rates were the top with Asian Americans who had lived in California. It showed the remarkable gap between gender of smoking and binge drinking among Vietnamese immigrants, whereas not the striking difference among Japanese Americans. In multiple regression models, age, educational level, occupation, marital status, English proficiency, and health insurance coverage remained significant for smoking and binge drinking behaviors(P<0.05). Even though the time in the US was not significant, it seemed to be related to educational level and English proficiency. In particular among female, smoking and binge drinking behaviors were associated with acculturation. Conclusion: Although Asian Americans had shared with American culture since they had immigrated in the US, they had significantly different prevalence rates of smoking and binge drinking based on gender and ethnicity. Therefore, future efforts should be focused on understanding differences by ethnicity and target at high-risk subgroups. To achieve this, it needs to develop the educational materials in Korean and their original languages.

The purpose of this paper is to identify a relative importance and priority of the factors of Competencies of project team member. It aims to present the differential competency factors from a differentiated perspective by applying the Leadership Development Questionnaire, which is the competency dimension required for manager, to team member. (1) Background: The diverse needs of customers and companies, and the uncertainty, complexity, ambiguity, and volatility of the environment surrounding the company in the era of the Fourth Industrial Revolution threaten the survival of company. In this respect, companies should implement the project management approach and strive to increase the capabilities of each team member. (2) Methods: AHP method was used to prioritize which factors were considered more importance level and the gap of relative importance level between project manager group and team members group. (3) Results: In the analysis of the relative importance of the upper class, weights were derived in the order of managerial competence, intellectual competence, and emotional competence. The sub-factor that respondents prioritize was communication as the 1st priority, and it was analyzed in the order of strategic perspective, achieving, critical analysis and judgement, and vision and imagination. There were some differences in the ranking of the relative importance of achieving and vision and imagination attributes between the PM group and TM group, it was analyzed that there was no significant difference overall. (4) Implications: The results of this study confirmed the recognition that team members are required to have the same competencies as the project manager. And based on the priorities of the competencies required of team members, companies are expected to cultivate professional and competent team members, and expand the roles and authority of team members so that they can actively carry out projects.

Distraction osteogenesis(DO) is defined as a gradual mechanical process of mechanical stretching two vascularized bone surface apart with a critical rate and rhythm such that new bone forms within the expanding gap, reliably bridges the gap, and ultimately remodels to normal structure. DO has become a mainstay in bone tissue engineering and has significantly improved our armamentarium for reconstructive craniomaxillofacial procedures. But the molecular and biological mechanisms that regulate the formation of new bone during distraction osteogenesis are not completely understood. BMPs are potent osteoinductive agents. Our hypothesis was that BMPs, especially BMP-2 and BMP-4, might play an importent role in the signaling pathways that link the mechanical forces created by distraction to biological responses and in promting new bone formation. Using a rabbit's mandible, we investigated the expression of BMP-2, -4 at different time points during distraction osteogenesis. The purpose of this study is to research the pattern of expression of BMP-2, -4 in new bone formation during distraction osteogenesis of the rabbit mandible. The experimental group was applied gradual distraction (0.7mm a day by twice a day, 4.9mm in total, for 7 days) and the control group was carried out osteotomy alone. They were examined clinically, histologically, and by RT-PCR analysis. On 3 days after osteotomy, the high level of expression of BMP-2, -4 was detected. But, the expression of BMP-4 was decreased during latency period. As distraction was started, its expression was increased and maintained till postoperative 28days. In control group, the expression of BMP-4was remarkably decreased till postoperative 14 days. On the other hand, the expression of BMP-2 was no difference between experimental group and control group. The expression of BMP-4 was maintanined at high level during the entire experimental period in both group. These findings suggested that excellent bone formation during distraction osteogenesis is associated with enhanced expression of BMP-4 genes by mechanical tension stress.

Purpose: This study was conducted to identify the performance and need of professional nursing care among nurses in a neurosurgery department at a tertiary hospital. Methods: This study used a descriptive design using a questionnaire with 77-item. The participants were 58 nurses with more than 3 years of clinical experience in both the neurosurgery intensive care unit and ward at a tertiary hospital in Gangwon province. Data collection was conducted from January to February of 2021. The performance and need for each workforce were analyzed with the mean and standard deviation, and the effectiveness of the difference between the performance and the need were analyzed with a paired t-test using SAS 9.4. Results: The recognition for work performance level was in order of direct nursing activities (3.20±.54), consultation and coordination (3.18±1.15), education (2.55±.85), administration (1.92±.86), and research (1.57±.89). The recognition for need level was in order of consultation and coordination (3.95±.83), education (3.91±.87), direct nursing practice (3.83±.55), research (3.49±.87), and administration (3.45±.54). The results showed a statistically significant differences between work performance and need (p<.001). Conclusion: It is required to hire professional nursing personnel who can bridge the gap between the performance and need of professional nursing workforce in a neurosurgery department at a tertiary hospital. A professional nurse may be a good alternative.

Purpose: This study was performed to evaluate the effect of chitosan combined with absorbable gelatin compressed sponge on the expression of osteoblastic differentiation marker genes during the healing of rat extraction socket. Materials and Methods: Twenty-four male Wistar rats were used. In control group, the extraction socket was closed with suture. In chitosan group, the socket was filled with chitosan combined with Gelfoam (Pharmacia & Upjohn Co.) and closed with suture. In each group, the animals were sacrificed at 3 days, 1 week, 2 weeks, and 4 weeks postoperatively. The expression of osteoblastic differentiation marker genes, including BSP, OCN, Runx2, and Col1 were quantified by real-time polymerase chain reaction. Result: Compared to control group, the mRNA level of BSP in chitosan group increased significantly at 2 weeks after extraction and the level of OCN decreased significantly at 3 days and 4 weeks after extraction (P<0.05). The mRNA levels of OCN, Runx2, and Col1 in chitosan group increased slightly at 2 weeks after extraction, but there was no statistical difference between groups. Conclusion: The results indicate that chitosan has some effects on the expression of osteogenic genes during the healing of extraction sockets.

Background: Unmet healthcare needs have many advantages for measuring inequalities in healthcare use. However, the existing indicator is difficult to capture the reality of unmet healthcare needs sufficiently and is not quite appropriate in comparing regional inequality. The purpose of this study is to critically analyze the utilization of the unmet healthcare need indicator for regional healthcare inequalities research. Methods: We used the level of healthcare accessibility and healthcare need to categorize the regions that are known to cause differences in healthcare utilization between regions and verified how existing unmet healthcare need indicator is distributed at the regional level. Results: Four types of regions were classified according to the high and low levels of healthcare needs and accessibility. The hypothesis about the regional type expected to have the highest unmet healthcare need was not proved. The hypothesis about the lowest expected regional type was proved, but the difference in the average rate of unmet healthcare needs among regional types was not significant. The standard deviation of the rate of unmet healthcare needs among regions within the same type was also higher than the overall regional variation, which also disproved the whole frame of hypothesis. Conclusion: Failure to prove the hypothesis means the gap between the supposed meaning of the indicator and the reality. In order to understand the current state of healthcare utilization of people in various regions of Korea and to resolve inequality, fundamental research on the in-depth structure and mechanisms of healthcare utilization is needed.

질의 이미지의 시각적 특징이 사용자의 상위 수준 개념을 잘 표현하지 못하기 때문에 이미지 검색 시스템의 성능은 보통 매우 낮다. 의미적으로 유사한 이미지들이 매우 다른 시각적 특징을 보일 수도 있으며 따라서 여러 개의 군집에 분산될 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 영역기반 이미지 검색과 군집-합병을 이용한 새로운 적합성 피드백 방법을 결합한 내용기반 이미지 검색 방법을 제안한다. 주요 목표는 의미적 차이를 줄이기 위해 의미적으로 관련된 군집들을 찾는 것이다. 제안된 방법은 영역기반 군집 과정과 군집-합병 과정으로 이루어진다. 적합한 이미지들의 모든 분할된 영역들을 의미적으로 관련된 계층적인 군집으로 구성한다. 잠재된 군집의 개수를 결정하고 근접한 군집들을 합병한 후 최종 군집의 대표점들로 다중 질의를 표현한다. 군집-합병 과정에서 군집의 개수를 찾고 고차원에서 특이점 문제를 해결하기 위하여 호텔링의 $T^2$ 대신에 v개의 주성분을 이용하는 $T_v^2$를 적용하였으며 $T^2$의 성능과 $T_v^2$의 성능의 차이가 없음을 보인다. 실험 결과는 제안된 방법이 내용기반 이미지 검색 시스템의 성능을 개선하는 데 효율적임을 보여준다.

조직연구에서 개인 직무, 개인-조직, 개인-환경 사이의 부합수준은 성과에 대한 주요한 영향요인으로 다루어져 왔다. 개인-조직이 추구하는 가치부합수준은 조직의 구성원으로 하여금 동기유발의 주요한 요인으로 조명되고 있다. 그러나 이런 부합수준 성과관련 연구에서 부합수준별 성과, 혹은 성과의 극대화률 설명하는 만족적 부합수준을 경정하기 위해 적용가능한 방법론의 개발관련 연구는 미미한 수준이다. 기존 연구에서 이런 부합수준-성과 간의 관계를 연구하는데 활용되는 지표들은 두 프로파일의 요인별 차이값, 차이제곱값, 차이 절대값, 측정 도구 사이의 상관관계를 나타내는 Q 값, 두 프로파일 사이의 순위상관을 나타내는 $Q_r$이다 그러나 이런 지표들은 두 프로파일의 부합수준 성과간의 관계를 연구하는데 많은 한계를 보여주고 있다. 특히, Edwards의 단일 설명변수에 대한 다항회귀분석과 반응표면분석을 활용한 방법론은 두 프로파일의 개별 설명변수 차이 값의 종속변수에 대한 영향만을 개별적으로 보여주고 설명변수를 모두 고려할 경우 차이 프로파일을 구성하는 개별요소별 성과를 극대화하는 값이나 수준이 어떠해야 하는지에 대해서는 해답을 주지 못하고 있다. 따라서 본 연구는 이러한 문제의 해결을 위해 다변량 이차다항회귀 모형을 적용하여 다중반응표면분석을 통해 개인-조직, 부합수준-성과 간의 관계를 검증하였다.

본 논문에서는 정보 분야의 학습 능력을 나타낼 수 있는 ICT 리터러시에 대해 지역 규모에 따른 수준의 차이를 측정해 분석하였다. 그 결과, 초등학교에서는 지역규모에 따른 ICT 리터러시 검사의 평균 점수가 대도시, 중소도시, 읍면지역 순으로 높았고 중학교에서는 중소도시, 대도시, 읍면지역 순으로 높게 나타났다. ICT 리터러시 세부 능력요소 및 등급의 차이도 지역규모에 따라 초등학교와 중학교에서 다른 양상을 보이는 것을 확인하였다. 다만, 초등학교와 중학교 모두 읍면지역 학생들의 점수가 다른 지역 학생들의 점수보다 낮은 것으로 나타났다. 이를 통해, 도시지역과 읍면지역 학생들 간에 격차가 발생하고 있는 것을 확인할 수 있었으며, 이를 개선하기 위한 체계적인 교육 프로그램 개발이 필요한 것으로 판단된다. 본 연구는 향후 지역규모 및 학교급별 특성에 따른 체계적인 ICT 리터러시 교육 정책 및 프로그램 개발의 필요성을 위한 기초 자료로서 의의가 있다.

본 연구는 충청지역 1개 대학에서 교양교과목으로 보건교육 과목을 수강한 기숙사 신입생과 재학생을 대상으로 두 군간 보건교육 전 후 건강증진행위와 그 하위영역인 건강책임, 신체활동, 자아실현 및 스트레스관리와 자기효능감의 차이를 파악하고자 하였다. 수강생 115명에 대하여 자기기입식 설문을 실시하였다. 조사기간은 2013년 6월 12-13일 양일간이었다. 건강증진행위는 4점 척도로, 자아효능감은 5점 척도로 분석하였다. 연구결과, 보건교육 전에 비해 보건교육 후의 점수 상승이 선행 연구의 일반대학생들보다 컸으며 이는 함께 숙식을 하는 친구들과의 단체생활이 보다 긍정적인 경쟁을 유도한 때문으로 판단된다. 특히, 자기효능감 및 건강증진행위 하위영역인 스트레스관리에서 보건교육의 효과가 신입생, 재학생 모두에서 통계적으로 유의하게 입증되었다. 신입생과 재학생 간 비교 시 유의한 차이를 보인 항목은 '자기효능감'이었고 보건교육 전 후 모두 재학생이 신입생보다 자기효능감 점수가 높았다. 따라서 분석결과를 바탕으로 기숙사생 등 단체 숙식생활자에 대해서는 개별교육 보다는 단체교육을 시행하고, 보건교육 대상자 선정 시 자기효능감이 낮거나 스트레스 지수가 높은 학생 특히, 자기효능감이 재학생에 비해 상대적으로 낮은 신입생에 대해 우선적으로 보건교육을 실시하는 것이 더 좋은 교육성과를 기대할 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.
