최근 우리나라는 OECD 국가중 1위를 차지할 만큼 고령화사회로 고속화되고 있으며, 한국의 기대수명이 점차적으로 늘어감에 따라 사회에서 노인의 비중은 커져간다. 따라서 주요 노인계층의 행복감은 사회 전체적 분위기 및 행복감에 기여되는 부분이나 신체적, 심리적, 사회적 변화로 인한 노인의 삶의 질적 저하는 우울증, 자살률 증가 등의 사회적 문제로 발전될 수 있다. 이처럼 노인의 삶의 질과 만족도 향상에 대한 사회적 관심이 주어지면서, 경로당은 재가노인 사회활동의 중추적 역할을 담당할 수 있는 복지시설 형태로서 새롭게 주목받고 있다. 그러나 최근 경로당의 역할 부담의 증가로 인하여 노후된 환경개선에 노력을 기울이고 있으나, 물적 인적 자원의 한계로 인하여 정작 사용자를 배려한 실내환경의 질적 논란이 일고 있다. 색채환경은 사용자의 심리적, 정신적 영향이 높은 실내 환경인자일 뿐 아니라, 가장 저비용으로 환경만족도를 높일 수 있는 방안이라는 점에서 경로당 색채환경의 질 향상이 필요하다고 판단된다. 그러나 지금까지의 노인시설지침 중 색채환경에 대한 내용은 미비한 실정이며, 노인관련 시설에 대한 선행연구는 활발히 이루어져 왔으나, 산발적이므로 경로당 색채환경의 현주소 파악과 향후 개선방향의 도출을 위하여 관련 연구를 종합하여 체크리스트를 개발할 필요가 있다. 따라서 본 연구는 산재되어 있는 경로당 관련 법규 및 가이드라인과 경로당의 주 사용자인 노인의 특성(신체적, 심리적, 선호적) 관련 연구를 종합하여 체크리스트를 도출하며, 이는 경로당 색채환경의 평가도구로 사용될 수 있음을 기대한다. 경로당이 현재 전국적 네트워크를 가지는 주거영역에 기능하는 중요 노인여가시설이라는 점을 감안할 때, 본 연구의 결과는 향후 활성화될 기존의 경로당 환경개선을 보다 사용자인 노인의 심리적, 정신적 만족도 향상을 가능하게 하여 사회적으로 기여할 것으로 기대한다.
교통사고로 인한 인체 상해를 최소화할 수 있는 안전벨트의 착용이 전 좌석에서 의무임에도 불구하고, 안전벨트를 착용하지 않은 교통사고 사상자수는 여전히 많은 비율을 차지한다. 주행차량 내 전 좌석 안전벨트 착용 검지시스템은 탑승자의 안전벨트 착용 여부를 판단하고 착용을 유도하는 시스템으로 안전벨트 미착용 사상자수 감소를 위한 유용한 기술적 대응방안이 될 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 첫 번째로 순서형프로빗 모형을 활용한 교통사고 상해심각도 영향요인 평가를 통해 시스템 도입에 대한 타당성을 제시하였다. 분석결과, 안전벨트 착용 여부는 교통사고 상해심각도에 통계적으로 유의한 영향을 미치며 안전벨트 착용 시 사망 및 치명상에 이를 확률이 0.054배 감소하는 것으로 나타났다. 두 번째로 안전벨트 및 교통사고 상해와 관련된 선행연구를 기반으로 메타분석을 수행하여 시스템 도입 시 기대되는 사고심각도 감소효과를 추정하였다. 사고심각도 감소효과 분석결과, 안전벨트 착용 시 사망사고가 63.3% 감소할 것으로 분석되었으며 앞좌석은 75.7%, 뒷좌석은 58.1%의 사망사고 감소효과를 갖는 것으로 나타났다. 마지막으로 메타분석 결과와 교통사고 통계자료를 기반으로 시스템 도입 시 기대되는 교통사고 사상자수 감소효과를 도출하여 시스템의 교통안전 측면 효과를 분석하였다. 시스템 도입률이 증가함에 따라 안전벨트 미착용 교통사고 사상자수가 감소하였으며 시스템 도입률이 60%일 경우 사망자수는 현재 대비 3배 이상 감소할 것으로 예상되었다. 분석결과를 활용하여 안전벨트 착용률을 높이고 사고심각도를 저감시킬 수 있는 시스템 운영 방안을 제시하였다.
Objective: To provide a systematic overview of the effects of various parameters on contrast enhancement within the same population, an animal experiment as well as a computer-aided simulation study was performed. Materials and Methods: In an animal experiment, single-level dynamic CT through the liver was performed at 5-second intervals just after the injection of contrast medium for 3 minutes. Combinations of three different amounts (1, 2, 3 mL/kg), concentrations (150, 200, 300 mgI/mL), and injection rates (0.5, 1, 2 mL/sec) were used. The CT number of the aorta (A), portal vein (P) and liver (L) was measured in each image, and time-attenuation curves for A, P and L were thus obtained. The degree of maximum enhancement (Imax) and time to reach peak enhancement (Tmax) of A, P and L were determined, and times to equilibrium (Teq) were analyzed. In the computed-aided simulation model, a program based on the amount, flow, and diffusion coefficient of body fluid in various compartments of the human body was designed. The input variables were the concentrations, volumes and injection rates of the contrast media used. The program generated the time-attenuation curves of A, P and L, as well as liver-to-hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) contrast curves. On each curve, we calculated and plotted the optimal temporal window (time period above the lower threshold, which in this experiment was 10 Hounsfield units), the total area under the curve above the lower threshold, and the area within the optimal range. Results: A. Animal Experiment: At a given concentration and injection rate, an increased volume of contrast medium led to increases in Imax A, P and L. In addition, Tmax A, P, L and Teq were prolonged in parallel with increases in injection time The time-attenuation curve shifted upward and to the right. For a given volume and injection rate, an increased concentration of contrast medium increased the degree of aortic, portal and hepatic enhancement, though Tmax A, P and L remained the same. The time-attenuation curve shifted upward. For a given volume and concentration of contrast medium, changes in the injection rate had a prominent effect on aortic enhancement, and that of the portal vein and hepatic parenchyma also showed some increase, though the effect was less prominent. A increased in the rate of contrast injection led to shifting of the time enhancement curve to the left and upward. B. Computer Simulation: At a faster injection rate, there was minimal change in the degree of hepatic attenuation, though the duration of the optimal temporal window decreased. The area between 10 and 30 HU was greatest when contrast media was delivered at a rate of 2 3 mL/sec. Although the total area under the curve increased in proportion to the injection rate, most of this increase was above the upper threshould and thus the temporal window was narrow and the optimal area decreased. Conclusion: Increases in volume, concentration and injection rate all resulted in improved arterial enhancement. If cost was disregarded, increasing the injection volume was the most reliable way of obtaining good quality enhancement. The optimal way of delivering a given amount of contrast medium can be calculated using a computer-based mathematical model.
According as the automation of clerical work(OA ; Office Automation) develops, the use of VDT(Visual or Video Display Terminal) is increasing suddenly. But, in proportion to the spread of office automation(OA tendency), the self-conciousness syptom attendant upon the work is appearing also (Kim, Jung Tae, Lee, Young Ook, 1990). The apparatuses of office enable the clerical workers to be convenient and perform mass businesses. But, they are increasing the opportunity to be exposed to VDT syndrom, techno stress, computer terminal disease, pain by muscle strain(RSI), bradycausia of noise nature, and electromagnetic waves, etc. which are referred to as the new type of occupational diseases to the workers. It is the real situation that the workers to use VDT is complaining of the physical inconvenience sense in the recent newspaper and literature, it is the point of time that the sydrome to come from VDT use and computer terminal disease, etc. must be classified into the occupational disease(Lee, Kwang Young 1990, Lee, Kyoo Hak 1990, Lee, Won Ho 1991, Lee, Si Young 1991, Lee, Joon 1991, Choi, Young Tae 1991, Heo, Seung Ho 1989). In addition, it is the real situation that the scientifitic study result about the scope that electromagnetic waves has influence on the human body has not been suggested yet, and criticism on the stable exposure permission standard about electromagnetic waves to be emitted from VDT and on the problem in the health about electromagnetic waves is continuing. (IEEE Spectrum, 1990). In addition according to the experience of nursery business of industry field, it is the real situation that the patients who consult complaining of physical and mental inconvenience sence, among the users of apparatus of office automation, are reaching 10% of the patients coming to doctor's room. Therefore, it is necessary to confirm the self-consciousness symptom that the clerical workers complain of multilaterally with the actual state examination about the use of the apparatuses of offices automaton. Thus, this study was tried as th basic data for the cosultation and education for the maintenance and furtherance of the health of workers as the nurse of industry field, by confirming the contents of self-consciousness symptom attendant upon the use of the apparatus for office outomation making the financial institution in which the spparatus for office automation in most frequently used as the subject, and by examining whether there is the difference according to the subject of study, the data were collected, by using the questionnaire method, making 200 workers who consented to the study participation as the subject, among the persons who have spent over 3 months since they used the apparatuses for office automation and didn't receive the treatment in hospital due to the clerical disease for recent 3 years. The period of data collection was from Oct. 9, 1991 to Oct. 12. As for the measurement instrument about the complaint if self-consciousness symptom attendant upon the use of apparatuses fo office automation, the question item on the complaint symptom of health problem attendant upon the treatment of VDT that Kim(1991) developed and on CMI health problem and the question items on the fatigue degree due to industry were used by previous examination to 25 persons. Collected data were analyzed with the statistical method such as percentage, arithmetic mean, Person correlation coeffient, Kai square verfication, t-test, ANOVA, etc. by using SPSS/PC+ program, and the result is as follows : 1. The self-consciousness symptom that the clerical workers complained of most frequetly appeared high in 'My eyes are tired'(99.4%), 'I feel fatigue and weariness'(99.4%), 'I feel that my head is heavy5(90.0%), 'eyesight fell'(88.8%), 'I have a stiff neck'(88.8%), 'I fell pain in the shoulder'(85.0%), 'I feel cold and painful in the eyes'(76.9%), 'I feel the dry sense of eyeball'(76.2%), 'My nerves are edgy, and I an fretful, (75.6%), 'I feel pain in the waist'(73.2%) and 'I fell pain in the back'(72.8%). It emerged that the subject use the apparatuses for office automation complained of self-consciousness symptoms related to visual symptoms and musculoskeletal symptoms. 2. As for the general feature of examination subjects, the result to see the distribution by classifying into sex, age, school career, use career of apparatuses for office automation, skillfulness degree of the use of apparatus for office automation, use hours of the apparatuses for office automation per 1 day, type of business of the apparatus for office automation, rest hours during the use of apparatus for office automation, satifaction degree of business of office automation, and work circumstance, etc. emerged as follows : As for the sex of subjects, the distribution showed that men were 58.8% and women were 41.3%, Age was average 26.9. As the distribution of school career, the distribution showed that4below the graduation of high school' was 58.8%, 'graduation from junior college-university' was 35.0%, and 'over graduate school' was 6.3%. In the question to ask the existence or non-existence of experience of health consultation in connection with the work of office automation, the response that I had the consultation exprience and I feel the necessity emergerd as 90.1% And, the case that the subject who didn't wear the glasses or lens before using the OA apparatus wear glasses or lens after using OA apparatus emerged as 28.3% of whole. As for the existence or non-existence of use career of OA apparatus, the case under 3 years was highest as 52. 7%. As for the skillfulnness degree about the use of apparatus for office automation, most of them are skillful with the fact that 'common' was 44.4%, 'skill' was 42.5%, and 'unskillful' was 13.1% As for the use average hours of the apparatus for office automation per 1 day, the distribution showed that the case under 3-6 hours was 33.1%, the case under 6-9 hours was 28.1%, the case under 3 hours was 30.6%, and the case over 9 hours was 8.1% Main OA business and the use hours for 1 day showed in the order of keeping and retrieval, business of information transmission(162min), business of information transmission(79.3 min), business of document framing(55.5 min), and business of duplication and printing(25.4min). as for the rest during the use of apparatus for affice automation, that I take rest occasion demands the major portion, but that I take after completing the work emerged as 33.8%. Though the subiness gets to be convenient by the use of the apparatus for of office automation, respondents who showed the dissatisfaction about the present OA business emergd high as 78.1%. The work circumstances of each office was good with the fact that the temperature of office was 21.8, noise was average 42.7db, and the illumination was average 364.4 lx, in the light of ANSi/HFS 100 Standard. 3. Sight syptom, musculoskeletal symptom, skin and other symptoms showed the significant difference according to the extent of skillfulness of the apparatus for office automation. All the symptoms exept skin symptom showed the difference according to the use hours of the apparatus for office automation. All the question items exept the sytoms of digestive organs and the rest hours during the apparatus for office automation showed the signicant difference. The question item which showed the signicant difference from the satisfaction degree of present OA business showed the significant difference from all the question item classified into 6 groups. But, age and school career didn't significant difference from the complaint of any self-consciousness symptoms.
