한국 경제에서 창업·벤처기업의 중요성이 커지고 있다. 이 연구는 창업·벤처기업의 성장을 포함하여 창업·벤처 생태계가 성장하고 있는지 측정하였다. 창업·벤처 생태계는'생태계'의 주요 행위자인 창업·벤처기업, 투자기관, 정부로 구성하고, 이들의 주요 활동을 정량적 지표 25개로 측정하였다. 창업·벤처 생태계 지수는 25개 지표의 2010~2018년의 시계열 원자료를 토대로 종합주가지수 방식과 AHP를 통한 가중치를 적용하여 산출하였다. 2018년 창업·벤처 생태계는 2010년에 비해 2.1배 성장하였으며, 정부 지수의 증가가 성장에 큰 영향을 미쳤다. 2018년 각각의 지수를 구성하는 개별지표를 보면, 기업 지수는 천억 벤처기업의 수, 투자 지수는 회수금액, 정부 지수는 모태펀드 출자금액이 성장에 가장 큰 영향을 주었다. 원자료를 토대로 창업·벤처 생태계 지수를 생태계별(창업생태계와 벤처생태계), 업종별(전업종과 제조업), 지역별(전국과 부산)로 구분하여 분석하였다. 그 결과, 지난 8년간 창업생태계의 성장이 벤처생태계의 성장 보다 근소한 차이로 컸다. 제조업 창업·벤처 생태계는 전업종 보다 낮게 나타났으며, 예시로 살펴본 부산의 창업·벤처 생태계 지수는 전국 보다 낮게 나타났다. 이 연구는 창업·벤처 생태계 지수를 개발 및 측정하여 모니터링 함으로써 지원 정책의 수립 및 시행에 활용하고자 했다. 이 지수는 주요 행위자 간의 상호관계를 파악해 볼 수 있으며, 공식적인 통계조사 결과를 활용하여 누구라도 지수를 산출할 수 있는 장점이 있다. 향후에도 지수를 지속적으로 모니터링하여 경제사회적 사건이나 정책적 지원이 창업·벤처 생태계에 어떤 영향을 미쳤는지 파악할 필요가 있다.

본 연구에서는 예비화학교사들의 테크놀로지 활용 수업전문성(TPACK)을 향상시키고자 실천기반 교사교육 프로그램을 개발하고 적용하였다. 또한 TPACK 발달 측정을 통해 프로그램 효과 및 방해요인을 확인하였다. 연구 참가자는 충청북도에 소재한 K 교사양성대학교에서 화학교육강좌를 수강하는 화학교육과 3학년 20명과 4학년 2명이었다. 개발한 교사교육프로그램은 준비, 리허설, 실습, 성찰의 네 단계로 구성되었으며, 준비, 리허설, 성찰 단계에서는 연구자와 동료의 피드백을 제공하였다. 연구 결과, 본 연구의 프로그램은 예비교사들의 "구성적 학습 활동"에서는 교육적 효과가 나타나지 않았으나, "문제해결"에서는 교육적 효과가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 즉, "구성적 학습 활동"에서는 사전과 사후에 대부분의 예비교사들은 0수준으로, 테크놀로지를 단순히 교과 내용 설명이나 오개념 개선을 위한 도구로 사용하기 위하여 예비교사가 일방적으로 제공하고, 학습자는 이를 통해 수동적으로 지식을 습득하도록 계획하였다. 그러나 "문제해결"의 경우 사전에 0수준이었던 예비교사들이 1수준으로 변화하였다. 즉, 테크놀로지를 활용하지 않고 단순 기억에 의존해서 문제를 해결하도록 수업을 구상하였던 학생들의 대부분이 교사가 제시한 테크놀로지의 관찰을 통해 다양한 문제에 접근하고 해결할 수 있도록 기회를 제공하는 수업을 계획하는 것으로 변화하였다. 그러나 학습자가 스스로 테크놀로지를 선택하고 다양하게 조작하면서 다양한 문제를 테크놀로지를 활용하여 해결하는 자발적 학습을 구성하는 2수준에 해당하는 예비교사들은 많지 않았다. 또한, 예비화학교사들이 TPACK 발달에 대한 방해요인으로 인식한 외적요인으로는 TPACK 구현을 위한 교실지원환경 미흡, 교육 계획을 위한 시간 부족, 부적절한 기술 역량 등이 있었으며, 내적요인으로는 전통적 교육관, 그리고 테크놀로지에 대한 부정적 태도 등이 있는 것으로 확인되었다. 특히 그 중에서 부적절한 기술 역량을 외적 방해요인으로 인식한 비율이 높기 때문에 예비교사들을 위해 TK를 통해 TPACK 발달이 이루어 지도록 하는 TPACK 발달 유형 중 유형 2나 유형 3에 해당하는 교육프로그램의 개발이 필요함을 확인하였다.

최근 인터넷 상에서 빈번하게 발생하는 내부 정보와 개인 정보 유출과 같은 보안 사고들은 보안을 고려하지 않고 개발된 웹 애플리케이션의 취약점을 이용하는 방법으로 빈번하게 발생한다. 웹 애플리케이션의 공격들에 대한 탐지는 기존의 방화벽과 침입 탐지 시스템들의 공격 탐지 방법으로는 탐지가 불가능하며 서명기반의 침입 탐지 방법으로는 새로운 위협과 공격에 대한 탐지에 한계가 있다. 따라서 웹 애플리케이션 공격 탐지 방법에 대한 많은 연구들이 웹 트래픽 분석을 이동하는 비정상행위 기반 탐지 방법을 이용하고 있다. 비정상행위 탐지 방법을 사용하는 최근의 웹 방화벽에 관한 연구들은 웹 트래픽의 정확한 분석 방법, 패킷의 애플리케이션 페이로드 검사로 인한 성능 문제 개선, 그리고 다양한 네트워크 보안장비들의 도입으로 발생하는 통합관리 방법과 비용 문제 해결에 중점을 두고 있다. 이를 해결하기 위한 방법으로 통합 위협 관리 시스템이 등장 하였으나 부족한 웹 보안 기능과 높은 도입 비용으로 최근의 애플리케이션 공격들에 대해 정확한 대응을 하지 못하고 있는 현실이다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 문제점들을 해결하기 위해 웹 클라이언트의 요청에 포함된 파라미터 값의 길이에 대한 실시간 분석을 이용하여 공격 가능성을 탐지하는 비정상행위 탐지방법을 제안하고, 애플리케이션 데이터 검사로 발생하는 성능 저하 문제를 해결할 수 있는 다중 계층 웹 필터를 적용한 웹 애플리케이션 방화벽 시스템을 설계하고 구현하였다. 제안된 시스템은 저가의 시스템이나 레거시 시스템에 적용 가능하도록 설계하여 추가적인 보안장비 도입으로 야기되는 비용 문제를 해결할 수 있도록 하였다.

디지털 기술의 급속한 발달로 일하는 방식이 크게 변화하고 있으며, 종이 문서가 전자 문서로 대체되고 있다. 그러나 환경영향평가서는 환경영향평가법 시행령과 시행규칙에 따라 사업과 관련 있는 기관에 정해진 부수의 종이보고서를 제출해야 하고, 이렇게 종이보고서로 제출한 지 약 42년이 경과하였다. 국립생태원에서는 2022년도에 디지털 전환이라는 시대의 흐름에 따라 종이보고서를 전자문서로 검토하는 시스템을 도입하였다. 2022년에 접수하여 검토한 1,398건의 환경영향평가서를 대상으로 전자문서 검토에 따른 비용 절감과 탄소 배출저감 효과를 분석하였다. 전자문서의 검토로 직접적 영향을 받는 제1종 환경영향평가업체를 대상으로 만족도 설문조사를 실시하였으며 총 134명이 응답하였다. 전자문서 검토 효과 분석 결과, 비용은 연간 총 101,424,900원이 절감되고 탄소 배출은 약 59.7톤이 저감되는 것으로 나타났다. 만족도 설문조사 결과, 전자문서 검토가 매우 도움이 된다고 응답한 비율은 94.8%로 매우 높게 나타났고, 도움이 된다고 응답한 비율은 4.5%로 매우 긍적적이었다. 경제적 측면과 업무시간 단축에 도움이 된다고 응답한 비율이 각각 94.8%와 91.8%로 전자문서 검토의 긍정적 효과가 높게 나타났다. 환경영향평가법 시행령과 시행규칙의 개정으로 전자문서 검토를 실시하면 국가 전체적으로 비용 절감과 탄소 저감뿐만 아니라 행정 소요 시간 감소와 보관 공간 절약 등의 파급 효과가 발생할 것으로 예상된다. 디지털 전환 시대에 적합한 법과 행정의 신속한 변화가 필요하다.

이 연구의 목적은 과학교사에게 오랫동안 요청된 이원화된 업무, 즉 '과학교과수업'과 '교과 외 과학 관련 행사'의 역사적 연원을 밝히는 것이다. 1970년대에는 기초과학 중심의 제3차 교육과정과 기술교육 중심의 과학화운동 사이의 긴장 속에서 국민학교 과학교육이 이루어졌다. 문교부는 과학화운동이 도입되기 전부터 오랫동안 국제기구의 지원을 받아서 탐구 중심의 기초과학교육 정책을 추진하였고, 특히 1973년 제3차 교육과정을 통해서 이를 실현하려고 하였다. 그러던 중 1973년에 '전 국민의 과학화운동'이 정권 차원에서 갑자기 추진되었다. 문교부로서는 갑작스러운 유신정권의 요구를 이미 진행 중이던 제3차 교육과정 속으로 편입해야 하는 상황에 처하게 된 것이다. 이처럼 두 가지 정책에서 비롯된 두 가지 요구가 공존하였기 때문에 이후 초등학교 과학교육 활동은 과학교과수업과 교과 외 과학 관련 행사로 이원화되어 실행되었다. 과학화운동은 교육과정 자체에 직접적인 영향을 미치지는 못하였지만, 학교 현장의 인사조직, 활동 공간, 평가 제도에 변화를 주었다. 국민학교에 과학화운동이라는 거대 프로그램이 도입되면서, 학교 내부의 인사조직을 변화시켜서 '과학주임교사제'가 새롭게 만들어졌고, '과학코너'라는 새로운 공간이 확보되었으며, '과학장제'라는 새로운 제도가 보급된 것이다. 이처럼 과학화운동 자체는 초등교육에 갑작스럽게 도입되었으나 결과적으로는 제3차 교육과정이 목표로 삼았던 탐구 중심 과학교육이 실천되는 데 어느 정도 기여했던 듯하다. 이는 역설적으로 과학화운동의 여파가 일선 교육청과 학교의 '교과 외' 자율적 활동으로 흡수된 것에 기인했다. 과학화운동 자체는 특정 시기의 정부 주도 정책이었지만, 다양한 과학교육종사자들이 오래 준비해 온 제3차 교육과정의 틀을 유지하면서도 긴급한 정부의 요청에 응답하는 방식이 교과 수업과 교과외 과학 활동으로 이원화된 것이었다. 이처럼 1970년대 과학교육현장에서 과학교육종사자들이 능동적으로 대응한 과정을 살펴봄으로써 과학교육계가 현재의 급변하는 환경에 대응할 수 있는 실마리를 얻을 수 있을 것이다.

The problem addressed by this study was to determine the effect of nurse - patient agreement on the means to achieve nursing goals in the early postpartum period of primiparous mothers. It was hypothesized that the experimental treatment would result in hegher self-confidence and satisfaction in maternal role performance. This purpose was to contribute to the planning of nursing care to enhance self- confidence and satisfaction in maternal role performance and to the development of relevant nursing theory. Especially, the early postpartum period is crucial toward in recovery from childbirth and attainment of the maternal role. Maternal role attaintment is a complex social and cognitive process of stimulus -response accomplished by learning. Most women attain the maternal role sucessfully. But, some primiparous mothers experience difficultites in attainment of the maternal role due to lack of experience and knowledge. Self-confidence and satisfaction in maternal role performance are important factors in attainment and adjustment to the maternal role (Mercer, 1981a, 1981b ; Lederman, Weigarten, and Lederman, 1981 :Bobak and Jensen, 1985). Nursing is defined as behaviors of nurses add patients that attain nursing goals through action, reaction, interaction, and transaction. For attainment of nursing goals, active participating transactions must occur by agreement on the means to achieve those goals through nurse -patient mutual goal setting and establishment of their active relationships(King, 1981, Ha, 1977). Based on King's theory of goal attainment (1981), this stuy was planned as a non-equivalent control group, non -synchronized quasi -experimental design using agreement on the means to achieve nursing goals in early postpartum as the experimental treatment. The data were collected from July 20 to Sep. 1, 1991 by questionnaires with 60 primiparous mothers planing to breast feed after normal deliveries at W hospital in Pusan, Korea. The subjects were divided into a control group(conventional group) -those admitted from July 20 to Aug. 12, and an experimental group(agreement group) - those admitted from Aug. 13 to Sep. 1. The instument for agreement on the means to nursing goals in the early postpartum period included five steps - identification of disturbances of problems through action, reaction, and interaction with primiparous mothers : mutual early postpartal nursing goal setting : exploration of the means to achieve goals ; agreement on the means (self- care, ealry maternal -infant contact, performance of mothering behavior, and communicating about the infant's behavior and health condition) : implementation of the means. This instrument was developed on the basis of King's elements that lead to transactions in nurse-patient interactions. Lederman et al's (1981) scale for Confidence in ability to cope with tasks of motherhood and Lederman et al's(1981) scale for Mother's satisfaction with motherhood and infant care were used to measure self-confidence and satisfaction in maternal role performance ·with the subjects immediately after admission and on the day of discharge. Self-care performance in the experimental group was measured by self -evaluation tool developed by the investigator from the literature concerned. The tools to measure Pelf-confidence and satisfaction in maternal role performance, and the tool to measure self-evaluation of self-care performance were tested for internal reliability. Cronbach's Alphas were 0.94, 0.94, and 0.63. The data were analysed by using in S.P.S.S. computerized program and included percentage, x²-test, t-test, ANOVA, and Pearson Correlation Coefficient. The conclusions obtained from this study are summerized as follows : 1. The degree of self-confidence in maternal role performance of the total subjects group measured before the experimental treatment was above average with a mean score of 2.77(range 2.14-3.64). Out of 14 items, those with relatively high mean scores were ‘I would like to be a better mother than I am’(3.95), and ‘I have my doubts about whether I am a good mother’(2.87). Those with low mean scores were ‘I know that my baby wants most of the times’(2.28), ‘When the baby cries, I can tell what she /he wants’(2.37), and ‘I have confidence in my ability to care for the baby’(2;50). That is, the self - confidence of Primiparous mothers was considerably high in mothering, but rather low in activities concerning the infant care and understanding of the infant behavior. The degree of satisfaction in maternal role performance of the total subjects group measured before the experimental treatment was high with a mean score of 3.18(range 1.92-3.92). Out of 13 items, those with relatively high mean scores were ‘I am glad 1 had this baby now’(3.75), ‘I play with the baby between feedings when s/he is awake and quiet’(3.67), and ‘I enjoy being a mother’(3.27). Those with low mean scores were ‘I am upset about having too many responsibilities as a mother’(2.78), ‘It bothers me to get up for the baby at night’(2.82), and ‘I get annoyed if the baby frequently interrupts my activities’.(2.82), That is, the satisfaction of primiparous mothers was considerably high in mothering and infant care, but rather low in restraints in time or on the mother's self accomplishment and development. 2. Agreement on the means to achieve nursing goals in the early postpartum period included process of mutual goal setting, exploration of the means to achieve goals, and ahreement in concert means to achieve goals based on the mothers' condition, concerns, self-perception of the nurse - patient interactions. In the process of agreement, there was agreement that the means to achieve goals should be through trust and establishment of active relationships with the nurse through identification of problems according to planned nursing goals and active interaction, such as explanations, teaching, changing of opinions, acceptance or rejection of explanations, and proposing of questions. Therefore agreement on the means to achieve nursing goals in the early postpartum period appears to be an effective nursing intervention for primiparous mothers. 3. The degree of self- confidence in maternal role performance of the exprimental group was higher than that of the control group(t＝3.95, p＜0.01). Out of 14 items, those with higher score in the experimental group were ‘I would like to be a better mother than I am’(t＝1.93, p＜0.05), ‘I know that my baby wants most of the times’(t＝2.75, p＜0.01), ‘When the baby cries, 1 can tell what she/he wants’(t＝2.10, p＜0.05), ‘I have confidence in my ability to care for the baby’(t＝3.72, p＜0.01), ‘I trust my own judement in deciding how to care for the baby’(t＝1.96, p＜0.05), ‘I feel that I know my baby and what to do for him /her’(t＝2.44, p＜0.01), ‘I am concerned about being able to meet the baby's needs’(t＝2.87, p＜0.01), ‘I know what my baby likes and dislikes’(t＝3.26, p＜0.01), ‘I don't know to care for the baby as well as I should’(t＝2.07, p＜0.05), and ‘I am unsure about whether I give enough attention to the baby’(t＝3.04, p＜0.01), That is, the degree of self-confidence in mothering, activities concerning infant care, and understanding of infant behavior of the experimental group was higher than that of the control group. Therefore, the first hypothesis, that the degree of self-confidence in maternal role performance of the experimental group would be higher than that of the control group, was supported(t＝3.95, p＜0.01). 4. The degree of satisfaction in the maternal role performance of the exprimental group was higer than that or the control group(t＝2.31, p＜0.05). Out of 13 items, those with higher score in the experimental group were ‘I am glad I had this baby now’(t＝2.29, p＜0.05), ‘I enjoy taking care of the baby’(t＝2.4g, p＜0.01), ‘It is boring for me to care for the baby and do the same thing over and over’(t＝2.87, P＜0.01), ‘I am unhappy with the amount of time I have for activities other than childcare’(t＝2.51, p＜0.01), and ‘When bathing and diapering the baby, I would like to be doing something else’(t＝2.43, p＜0.01). That is, the degree of satisfaction in mothering, infant care, and restraints in time of on the mother's self accomplishment and development in the experimental group was higher than that of the control group. Therefore, the second hypothesis, that the degree of satisfaction in maternal role performance of the experimental group would be higher than that of the control group, was supported(t＝2.31, p＜0.05). 5. The third hypothesis, that the higher the degree of satisfaction in materenal role performance, the higher the degree of self-confidence in materenal role performance in the experimental group, was supported (r＝0.57, p＜0.01)

최근 4차 산업혁명, 코로나로 인한 뉴노멀 시대의 도래 등을 계기로 인공지능, 빅데이터 연구와 같은 언택트 관련 기술의 중요성이 더욱 급상하고 있다. 각 종 연구 분야에서는 이러한 연구 트렌드를 따라가기 위한 융합적 연구가 본격적으로 시행되고 있으나 원자력 분야의 경우 자연어 처리, 텍스트마이닝 분석 등 인공지능 및 빅데이터 관련 기술을 적용한 연구가 많이 수행되지 않았다. 이에 원자력 연구 분야에 데이터 사이언스 분석기술의 적용 가능성을 확인해보고자 본 연구를 수행하였다. 원자로 연료로 사용된 뒤 배출되는 사용후핵연료 인식 동향 파악에 대한 연구는 원자력 산업 정책에 대한 방향을 결정하고 산업정책 변화를 사전에 대응할 수 있다는 측면에서 매우 중요하다. 사용후핵연료 처리기술은 크게 습식 재처리 방식과 건식 재처리 방식으로 나뉘는데, 이 중 환경 친화적이고 핵비확산성 및 경제성이 높은 건식재처리 기술인 '파이로프로세싱'과 그 연계 원자로 '소듐냉각고속로'의 연구개발에 대한 재평가가 현재 지속적으로 검토되고 있다. 따라서 위와 같은 이유로, 본 연구에서는 사용후핵연료 처리기술인 파이로프로세싱에 대한 언론 동향 분석을 진행하였다. 사용후핵연료 처리기술인 '파이로프로세싱' 키워드를 포함하는 네이버 웹 뉴스 기사 전문의 텍스트데이터를 수집하여 기간에 따라 인식변화를 분석하였다. 2016년 발생한 경주 지진, 2017년 새 정부의 에너지 전환정책 시행된 2010년대 중반 시기를 기준으로 전, 후의 동향 분석이 시행되었고, 빈도분석을 바탕으로 한 워드 클라우드 도출, TF-IDF(Term Frequency - Inverse Document Frequency) 도출, 연결정도 중심성 산출 등의 분석방법을 통해 텍스트데이터에 대한 세부적이고 다층적인 분석을 수행하였다. 연구 결과, 2010년대 이전에는 사용후핵연료 처리기술에 대한 사회 언론의 인식이 외교적이고 긍정적이었음을 알 수 있었다. 그러나 시간이 흐름에 따라 '안전(safety)', '재검토(reexamination)', '대책(countermeasure)', '처분(disposal)', '해체(disassemble)' 등의 키워드 출현빈도가 급증하며 사용후핵연료 처리기술 연구에 대한 지속 여부가 사회적으로 진지하게 고려되고 있음을 알 수 있었다. 정치 외교적 기술로 인식되던 사용후핵연료 처리기술이 국내 정책의 변화로 연구 지속 가능성이 모호해짐에 따라 언론 인식도 점차 변화했다는 것을 확인하였다. 이러한 연구 결과를 통해 원자력 분야에서의 사회과학 연구의 지속은 필수불가결함을 알 수 있었고 이에 대한 중요성이 부각되었다. 또한, 현 정부의 원전 감축과 같은 에너지 정책의 영향으로, 사용후핵연료 처리기술 연구개발에 대한 재평가가 시행되는 이 시점에서 해당 분야의 주요 키워드 분석은 향후 연구 방향 설정에 기여할 수 있을 것이라는 측면에서 실무적 의의를 갖는다. 더 나아가 원자력 공학 분야에 사회과학 분야를 폭넓게 적용할 필요가 있으며, 국가 정책적 변화를 고려해야 원자력 산업이 지속 가능할 것으로 사료된다.

The wall shear stress in the vicinity of end-to end anastomoses under steady flow conditions was measured using a flush-mounted hot-film anemometer(FMHFA) probe. The experimental measurements were in good agreement with numerical results except in flow with low Reynolds numbers. The wall shear stress increased proximal to the anastomosis in flow from the Penrose tubing (simulating an artery) to the PTFE: graft. In flow from the PTFE graft to the Penrose tubing, low wall shear stress was observed distal to the anastomosis. Abnormal distributions of wall shear stress in the vicinity of the anastomosis, resulting from the compliance mismatch between the graft and the host artery, might be an important factor of ANFH formation and the graft failure. The present study suggests a correlation between regions of the low wall shear stress and the development of anastomotic neointimal fibrous hyperplasia(ANPH) in end-to-end anastomoses. 30523 T00401030523 ^x Air pressure decay(APD) rate and ultrafiltration rate(UFR) tests were performed on new and saline rinsed dialyzers as well as those roused in patients several times. C-DAK 4000 (Cordis Dow) and CF IS-11 (Baxter Travenol) reused dialyzers obtained from the dialysis clinic were used in the present study. The new dialyzers exhibited a relatively flat APD, whereas saline rinsed and reused dialyzers showed considerable amount of decay. C-DAH dialyzers had a larger APD(11.70$\pm$1.32mmHg/min)compared to CF dialyzers(4.32$\pm$0.55mmHg/min)(p<0.05). However, there was no observable difference in the UFR between the two dialyzers. Neither APD nor UFR showed any significant increase with an increasing number of reuses for up to more than 20reuses. A substantial number of failures observed in APD(larger than 20mmHe/min)on the reused dialyzers(2 out of 40 CP and S out 26 C-DAK) were attributed to the Possible damage on the fibers. The CF 15-11 HFDs which failed APD test did not show changes in the UFR compared to normal dialyzers indicating that APD is a more sensitive test than UFR test to evaluate the integrity of the fibers. 30527 T00401030527 ^x For quantitative measurement of reflected light from a clinical diagnostic strip, a prototype old reflectance photometer was designed. The strip loader and cassette were made to obtain more accurate reflectance parameters. The strip was illuminated at 45˚c through optical fiber and the intensity of reflected light was determined at rectanguLat angle using a photodiode. The kubelka-munk coefficient and reflection optical density were determined ar four different wavelengths(500, 550, 570 and 610nm) for blood glucose strip. For higher concentration than 300mg/41 about glucose, a saturation state of abforbance was observed at 500, 550 and 570nm. The correlation between glucose concentration and parameters was the best at 610nm. 30535 T00401030535 ^x Radiation-induced fibrosarcoma tumors were grown on the flanks of C3H mice. The mice were divided into two groups. One group was injected with Photofrin II, intravenously (2.5mg/kg body weight). The other group received no Photofrin II. Mice from both groups were irradialed for approximately 15 minutes at 100, 300, or 500 mW/cm2 with the argon (488nm/514.5 nm), dye(628nm) and gold vapor (pulsed 628 nm) laser light. A photosensitizer behaved as an added absorber. Under our experimental conditions, the presence of Photolfrin II increased surface temperature by at least 40% and the temperature rise due to 300 mW/cm2 irradiation exceeded values for hyperthermia. Light and temperature distributions with depth were estimated by a computer model. The model demonstrated the influence of wavelength on the thermal process and proved to be a valuable tool to investigate internal temperature rise. 30536 T00401030536 ^x We investigated the structural geometry of thirty-eight Korean femurs. The purpose of this study is to identify major geometrical differences between Korean femurs 3nd others that we believe belong to Caucasians so that we would be able to get insights into the femoral component design that fits Asians including Koreans. We utilized computerized tomography (CT) images of femurs extracted from cadavers. The CT images were transformed into bitmap data by using a film scanner, and then analyzed by using a commercially available software called Image v.1.0 and a Macintosh IIci computer.The resulting data were compared with already published data. The major results show that the geometry of the Korean femurs is significantly different from that of Caucasians: (1) the anteversion angle and the canal flare index are greater by the amount of approximately 8˚ and 0.5, respectively, (2) the shape of the isthmus cross section is more round, and (3) the distance between the teaser trochanter and the proximal border of the isthmus is shelter by about 15 mm. The results suggested that the femoral component suitable for Asians should be different from the currently-used components designed and manufactured mostly by European or American companies. 30537 T00401030537 ^x It is well known that nonlinear propagation characteristics of the wave in the tissue may give very useful information for the medical diagnoisis. In this paper, a new method to detect nonlinear propagation characteristics of the internal vibration in the tissue for the low frequency mechanical vibration by using bispectral analysis is proposed. In the method, low frequency vibration of f0( = 100Hz) is applied on the surface of the object, and the waveform of the internal vibration x (t) is measured from Doppler frequency modulation of silmultaneously transmitted probing ultrasonic waves. Then, the bispectra of the signal x (t) at the frequencies (f0, f0) and (f0, 2f0) are calculated to estimate the nonlinear propagation characteristics as their magnitude ratio, w here since bispectrum is free from the gaussian additive noise we can get the value with high S/N. Basic experimental system is constructed by using 3.0 MHz probing ultrasonic waves and the several experiments are carried out for some phantoms. Results show the superiority of the proposed method to the conventional method using power spectrum and also its usefulness for the tissue characterization. 30541 T00401030541 ^x This paper describes the implementation of a computerized radial pulse diagnosis by aids of a clinical expert.

To synthesize microspheres for biomedical application, "two stage shot growth method" was developed. The uniformity ratio of synthesized microspheres was always smaller than 1.05. And the surface charge density (or the number of ionizable functional groups) of the microspheres synthesized by "two stage shot growth method" was 6~13 times higher than that of the microspheres synthesized by conventional seeded batch copolymerization. As a previous step for biomedical application, adsorption experiments of bovine albumin on microspheres were carried out under various conditions. The maximum adsorbed amount was obtained in the neighborhood of pH 4.5. Isoelectric point of bovine albumin is pH 5.0, so experimental result shows that it shifted to acid area. The adsorption isotherm was obtained, the plateau region was always reached at 2.Og/L (bulk concentration of bovine albumin).The effect of the kind and the amount of surface functional group was also examined. 30575 T00401030575 ^x A medical image workstation was developed using multimedia technique.

Trans-formation from temporal summation to two-dimensional mappings is formed by 4 nearest point inter-polaton method. Methods of representation of BEAM are two. One is dot density method which classify brain electrical potential 9 levels by dot density of gray levels and the other is colour method which classify brain electrical 12 levels by red-green colours. In this BEAM, instantaneous change and average energy distribution over any arbitrary time interval of brain electrical activity could be observed and analyzed easily. In the frequency domain, the distribution of energy spectrum of a special band can easily be distinguished normality and abnormality. 30608 T00401030608 ^x Laboratory information system (LIS) is a key tool to manage laboratory data in clinical pathology. Our department has developed an information system for routine hematology using down-sized computer system. We have used an IBM 486 compatible PC with 16MB main memory, 210 MB hard disk drive, 9 RS-232C port and 24 pin dot printer. The operating system and database management system were SCO UNIX and SCO foxbase, respectively. For program development, we used Xbase language provided by SCO foxbase. The C language was used for interface purpose. To make the system use friendly, pull-down menu was used.

The authors suggests that this system based on down-sized computer could provide a progressive approach to total LIS based on local area network, and the implemented system could serve as a model for other hospital's LIS for routine hematology. 30609 T00401030609 ^x To develop an artificial bone substitute that is gradually degraded and replaced by the regenerated natural bone, the authors designed a composite that is consisted of calcium phosphate and collagen. To use as the structural matrix of the composite, collagen was purified from human umbilical cord. The obtained collagen was treated by pepsin to remove telopeptides, and finally, the immune-free atelocollagen was produced: The cross linked atelocollagen was highly resistant to the collagenase induced collagenolysis. The cross linked collagen demonstrated an improved tensile strength. 30618 T00401030618 ^x This paper is a study on the design of adptive filter for QRS complex detection. We propose a simple adaptive algorithm to increase capability of noise cancelation in QRS complex detection with two stage adaptive filter. At the first stage, background noise is removed and at the next stage, only spectrum of QRS complex components is passed. Two adaptive filters can afford to keep track of the changes of both noise and QRS complex. Each adaptive filter consists of prediction error filter and FIR filter The impulse response of FIR filter uses coefficients of prediction error filter. The detection rates for 105 and 108 of MIT/BIH data base were 99.3% and 97.4% respectively. 30619 T00401030619 ^x To develop an artificial bone substitute that is gradually degraded and replaced by the regenerated natural bone, the authors designed and produced a composite that is consisted of calcium phosphate and collagen. Human umbilical cord origin pepsin treated type I atelocollagen was used as the structural matrix, by which sintered or non-sintered carbonate apatite was encapsulated to form an inorganic-organic composite. With cross linking atelocollagen by UV ray irradiation, the resistance to both compressive and tensile strength was increased. Collagen degradation by the collagenase induced collagenolysis was also decreased. 30620 T00401030620 ^x We have developed a monoleaflet polymer valve as an inexpensive and viable alternative, especially for short-term use in the ventricular assist device or total artificial heart. The frame and leaflet of the polymer valve were made from polyurethane, To evaluate the hemodynamic performance of the polymer valve a comparative study of flow dynamics past a polymer valve and a St. Jude Medical prosthetic valve under physiological pulsatile flow conditions in vitro was made. Comparisons between the valves were made on the transvalvular pressure drop, regurgitation volume and maximum valve opening area. The polymer valve showed smaller regurgitation volume and transvalvular pressure drop compared to the mechanical valve at higher heart rate. The results showed that the functional characteristics of the polymer valve compared favorably with those of the mechanical valve at higher heart rate. 30621 T00401030621 ^x Explosive evaporative removal process of biological tissue by absorption of a CW laser has been simulated by using gelatin and a multimode Nd:YAG laser. Because the point of maximun temperature of laser-irradiated gelatin exists below the surface due to surface cooling, evaporation at the boiling temperature is made explosively from below the surface. The important parameters of this process are the conduction loss to laser power absorption (defined as the conduction-to-laser power parameter, Nk), the convection heat transfer at the surface to conduction loss (defined as Bi), dimensionless extinction coefficient (defined as Br.), and dimensionless irradiation time (defined as Fo). Dependence of Fo on Nk and Bi has been observed by experiment, and the results have been compared with the numerical results obtained by solving a 2-dimensional conduction equation. Fo and explosion depth (from the surface to the point of maximun temperature) are increased when Nk and Bi are increased.To find out the minimum laser power for explosive evaporative removal process, steady state analysis has been also made. The limit of Nk to induce evaporative removal, which is proportional to the inverse of the laser power, has been obtained. 30622 T00401030622 ^x N1 and N2 gross neural action potentials were measured from the round window of the guinea pig cochlea at the onset of the acoustic stimuli. N1-N2 audiograms were made by means of regulating stimulant intensities in order to produce constant N1-N2 potentials as criteria for different input tone pip frequencies. The lowest threshold was measured with an input tone pip I5 dB SPL in intensity and 12 KHz in frequency when the animal was in normal physiological condition. The procedure of experimental measurements is explained in detail. This experimental approach is very useful for the investigation of the Cochlear function. Both noN1inear and active functions of the Cochlea can be monitored by N1-N2 audiograms. 30623 T00401030623 ^x In electrical impedance tomography(EIT), we use boundary current and voltage measurements toprovide the information about the cross-sectional distribution of electrical impedance or resistivity. One of the major problems in EIT has been the inaccessibility of internal voltage or current data in finding the internal impedance values. We propose a new image reconstruction method using internal current density data measured by NMR. We obtained a two-dimensional current density distribution within a phantom by processing the real and imaginary MR images from a 4.77 NMR machine. We implemented a resistivity mage reconstruction algorithm using the finite element method and sensitivity matrix. We presented computer simulation results of the mage reconstruction algorithm and furture direction of the research. 30624 T00401030624 ^x A new method of digital image analysis technique for discrimination of cancer cell was presented in this paper. The object image was the Thyroid eland cells image that was diagnosed as normal and abnormal (two types of abnormal: follicular neoplastic cell, and papillary neoplastic cell), respectively. By using the proposed region segmentation algorithm, the cells were segmented into nucleus. The 16 feature parameters were used to calculate the features of each nucleus. A9 a consequence of using dominant feature parameters method proposed in this paper, discrimination rate of 91.11% was obtained for Thyroid Gland cells. 30625 T00401030625 ^x An electrical stimulator was designed to induce locomotion for paraplegic patients caused by central nervous system injury. Optimal stimulus parameters, which can minimize muscle fatigue and can achieve effective muscle contraction were determined in slow and fast muscles in Sprague-Dawley rats. Stimulus patterns of our stimulator were designed to simulate electromyographic activity monitored during locomotion of normal subjects. Muscle types of the lower extremity were classified according to their mechanical property of contraction, which are slow muscle (msoleus m.) and fast muscle (medial gastrocneminus m., rectus femoris m., vastus lateralis m.). Optimal parameters of electrical stimulation for slow muscles were 20 Hz, 0.2 ms square pulse. For fast muscle, 40 Hz, 0.3 ms square pulse was optimal to produce repeated contraction. Higher stimulus intensity was required when synergistic muscles were stimulated simultaneously than when they were stimulated individually. Electrical stimulation for each muscle was designed to generate bipedal locomotion, so that individual muscles alternate contraction and relaxation to simulate stance and swing phases. Portable electrical stimulator with 16 channels built in microprocessor was constructed and applied to paraplegic patients due to lumbar cord injury. The electrical stimulator restored partially gait function in paraplegic patients. 30626 T00401030626 ^x Two-Dimensional modelling of the Cochlear biomechanics is presented in this paper. The Laplace partial differential equation which represents the fluid mechanics of the Cochlea has been transformed into two-dimensional electrical transmission line. The procedure of this transformation is explained in detail. The comparison between one and two dimensional models is also presented. This electrical modelling of the basilar membrane (BM) is clearly useful for the next approach to the further. Development of active elements which are essential in the producing of the sharp tuning of the BM. This paper shows that two-dimension model is qualitatively better than one-dimensional model both in amplitude and phase responses of the BM displacement. The present model is only for frequency response. However because the model is electrical, the two-dimensional transmission line model can be extended to time response without any difficult. 30627 T00401030627 ^x A method has been proposed for the fully automatic detection of left ventricular endocardial boundary in 2D short axis echocardiogram using geometric model. The procedure has the following three distinct stages. First, the initial center is estimated by the initial center estimation algorithm which is applied to decimated image. Second, the center estimation algorithm is applied to original image and then best-fit elliptic model estimation is processed. Third, best-fit boundary is detected by the cost function which is based on the best-fit elliptic model. The proposed method shows effective result without manual intervention by a human operator. 30628 T00401030628 ^x The intelligent trajectory control method that controls moving direction and average velocity for a prosthetic arm is proposed by pattern recognition and force estimations using EMG signals. Also, we propose the real time trajectory planning method which generates continuous accelleration paths using 3 stage linear filters to minimize the impact to human body induced by arm motions and to reduce the muscle fatigue. We use combination of MLP and fuzzy filter for pattern recognition to estimate the direction of a muscle and Hogan's method for the force estimation. EMG signals are acquired by using a amputation simulator and 2 dimensional joystick motion. The simulation results of proposed prosthetic arm control system using the EMf signals show that the arm is effectively followed the desired trajectory depended on estimated force and direction of muscle movements. 30638 T00401030638 ^x A new neural network architecture for the recognition of patterns from images is proposed, which is partially based on the results of physiological studies. The proposed network is composed of multi-layers and the nerve cells in each layer are connected by spatial filters which approximate receptive fields in optic nerve fields. In the proposed method, patterns recognition for complicated images is carried out using global features as well as local features such as lines and end-points. A new generating method of matched filers representing global features is proposed in this network. 30659 T00401030659 ^x An implementation scheme of the magnetic nerve stimulator using a switching mode power supply is proposed. By using a switching mode power supply rather than a conventional linear power supply for charging high voltage capacitors, the weight and size of the magnetic nerve stimulator can be considerably reduced. Maximum output voltage of the developed magnetic nerve stimulator using the switching mode power supply is 3, 000 volts and switching time is about 100 msec. Experimental results or human nerve stimulations using the developed stimulator are presented. 30768 T00401030768 ^x In this paper, we describe the design methodology and specifications of the developed module-based bedside monitors for patient monitoring. The bedside monitor consists of a main unit and module cases with various parameter modules. The main unit includes a 12.1" TFT color LCD, a main CPU board, and peripherals such as a module controller, Ethernet LAN card, video card, rotate/push button controller, etc. The main unit can connect at maximum three module cases each of which can accommodate up to 7 parameter modules. They include the modules for electrocardiograph, respiration, invasive blood pressure, noninvasive blood pressure, temperature, and SpO2 with Plethysmograph.SpO2 with Plethysmograph.

The wall shear stress in the vicinity of end-to end anastomoses under steady flow conditions was measured using a flush-mounted hot-film anemometer(FMHFA) probe. The experimental measurements were in good agreement with numerical results except in flow with low Reynolds numbers. The wall shear stress increased proximal to the anastomosis in flow from the Penrose tubing (simulating an artery) to the PTFE: graft. In flow from the PTFE graft to the Penrose tubing, low wall shear stress was observed distal to the anastomosis. Abnormal distributions of wall shear stress in the vicinity of the anastomosis, resulting from the compliance mismatch between the graft and the host artery, might be an important factor of ANFH formation and the graft failure. The present study suggests a correlation between regions of the low wall shear stress and the development of anastomotic neointimal fibrous hyperplasia(ANPH) in end-to-end anastomoses. 30523 T00401030523 ^x Air pressure decay(APD) rate and ultrafiltration rate(UFR) tests were performed on new and saline rinsed dialyzers as well as those roused in patients several times. C-DAK 4000 (Cordis Dow) and CF IS-11 (Baxter Travenol) reused dialyzers obtained from the dialysis clinic were used in the present study. The new dialyzers exhibited a relatively flat APD, whereas saline rinsed and reused dialyzers showed considerable amount of decay. C-DAH dialyzers had a larger APD(11.70${\pm}$1.32mmHg/min)compared to CF dialyzers(4.32${\pm}$0.55mmHg/min)(p<0.05). However, there was no observable difference in the UFR between the two dialyzers. Neither APD nor UFR showed any significant increase with an increasing number of reuses for up to more than 20reuses. A substantial number of failures observed in APD(larger than 20mmHe/min)on the reused dialyzers(2 out of 40 CP and S out 26 C-DAK) were attributed to the Possible damage on the fibers. The CF 15-11 HFDs which failed APD test did not show changes in the UFR compared to normal dialyzers indicating that APD is a more sensitive test than UFR test to evaluate the integrity of the fibers. 30527 T00401030527 ^x For quantitative measurement of reflected light from a clinical diagnostic strip, a prototype old reflectance photometer was designed. The strip loader and cassette were made to obtain more accurate reflectance parameters. The strip was illuminated at 45˚c through optical fiber and the intensity of reflected light was determined at rectanguLat angle using a photodiode. The kubelka-munk coefficient and reflection optical density were determined ar four different wavelengths(500,550,570 and 610nm) for blood glucose strip. For higher concentration than 300mg/41 about glucose, a saturation state of abforbance was observed at 500,550 and 570nm. The correlation between glucose concentration and parameters was the best at 610nm. 30535 T00401030535 ^x Radiation-induced fibrosarcoma tumors were grown on the flanks of C3H mice. The mice were divided into two groups. One group was injected with Photofrin II, intravenously (2.5mg/kg body weight). The other group received no Photofrin II. Mice from both groups were irradialed for approximately 15 minutes at 100,300, or 500 mW/cm2 with the argon (488nm/514.5 nm), dye(628nm) and gold vapor (pulsed 628 nm) laser light. A photosensitizer behaved as an added absorber. Under our experimental conditions, the presence of Photolfrin II increased surface temperature by at least 40% and the temperature rise due to 300 mW/cm2 irradiation exceeded values for hyperthermia. Light and temperature distributions with depth were estimated by a computer model. The model demonstrated the influence of wavelength on the thermal process and proved to be a valuable tool to investigate internal temperature rise. 30536 T00401030536 ^x We investigated the structural geometry of thirty-eight Korean femurs. The purpose of this study is to identify major geometrical differences between Korean femurs 3nd others that we believe belong to Caucasians so that we would be able to get insights into the femoral component design that fits Asians including Koreans. We utilized computerized tomography (CT) images of femurs extracted from cadavers. The CT images were transformed into bitmap data by using a film scanner, and then analyzed by using a commercially available software called Image v.1.0 and a Macintosh IIci computer.The resulting data were compared with already published data. The major results show that the geometry of the Korean femurs is significantly different from that of Caucasians: (1) the anteversion angle and the canal flare index are greater by the amount of approximately 8˚ and 0.5, respectively, (2) the shape of the isthmus cross section is more round, and (3) the distance between the teaser trochanter and the proximal border of the isthmus is shelter by about 15 mm. The results suggested that the femoral component suitable for Asians should be different from the currently-used components designed and manufactured mostly by European or American companies. 30537 T00401030537 ^x It is well known that nonlinear propagation characteristics of the wave in the tissue may give very useful information for the medical diagnoisis. In this paper, a new method to detect nonlinear propagation characteristics of the internal vibration in the tissue for the low frequency mechanical vibration by using bispectral analysis is proposed. In the method, low frequency vibration of f0( = 100Hz) is applied on the surface of the object, and the waveform of the internal vibration x (t) is measured from Doppler frequency modulation of silmultaneously transmitted probing ultrasonic waves. Then, the bispectra of the signal x (t) at the frequencies (f0, f0) and (f0, 2f0) are calculated to estimate the nonlinear propagation characteristics as their magnitude ratio, w here since bispectrum is free from the gaussian additive noise we can get the value with high S/N. Basic experimental system is constructed by using 3.0 MHz probing ultrasonic waves and the several experiments are carried out for some phantoms. Results show the superiority of the proposed method to the conventional method using power spectrum and also its usefulness for the tissue characterization. 30541 T00401030541 ^x This paper describes the implementation of a computerized radial pulse diagnosis by aids of a clinical expert.

Because the point of maximun temperature of laser-irradiated gelatin exists below the surface due to surface cooling, evaporation at the boiling temperature is made explosively from below the surface. The important parameters of this process are the conduction loss to laser power absorption (defined as the conduction-to-laser power parameter, Nk), the convection heat transfer at the surface to conduction loss (defined as Bi), dimensionless extinction coefficient (defined as Br.), and dimensionless irradiation time (defined as Fo). Dependence of Fo on Nk and Bi has been observed by experiment, and the results have been compared with the numerical results obtained by solving a 2-dimensional conduction equation. Fo and explosion depth (from the surface to the point of maximun temperature) are increased when Nk and Bi are increased.To find out the minimum laser power for explosive evaporative removal process, steady state analysis has been also made. The limit of Nk to induce evaporative removal, which is proportional to the inverse of the laser power, has been obtained. 30622 T00401030622 ^x N1 and N2 gross neural action potentials were measured from the round window of the guinea pig cochlea at the onset of the acoustic stimuli.

We implemented a resistivity mage reconstruction algorithm using the finite element method and sensitivity matrix. We presented computer simulation results of the mage reconstruction algorithm and furture direction of the research. 30624 T00401030624 ^x A new method of digital image analysis technique for discrimination of cancer cell was presented in this paper. The object image was the Thyroid eland cells image that was diagnosed as normal and abnormal (two types of abnormal: follicular neoplastic cell, and papillary neoplastic cell), respectively. By using the proposed region segmentation algorithm, the cells were segmented into nucleus. The 16 feature parameters were used to calculate the features of each nucleus. A9 a consequence of using dominant feature parameters method proposed in this paper, discrimination rate of 91.11% was obtained for Thyroid Gland cells. 30625 T00401030625 ^x An electrical stimulator was designed to induce locomotion for paraplegic patients caused by central nervous system injury. Optimal stimulus parameters, which can minimize muscle fatigue and can achieve effective muscle contraction were determined in slow and fast muscles in Sprague-Dawley rats. Stimulus patterns of our stimulator were designed to simulate electromyographic activity monitored during locomotion of normal subjects. Muscle types of the lower extremity were classified according to their mechanical property of contraction, which are slow muscle (msoleus m.) and fast muscle (medial gastrocneminus m., rectus femoris m., vastus lateralis m.). Optimal parameters of electrical stimulation for slow muscles were 20 Hz, 0.2 ms square pulse. For fast muscle, 40 Hz, 0.3 ms square pulse was optimal to produce repeated contraction. Higher stimulus intensity was required when synergistic muscles were stimulated simultaneously than when they were stimulated individually. Electrical stimulation for each muscle was designed to generate bipedal locomotion, so that individual muscles alternate contraction and relaxation to simulate stance and swing phases. Portable electrical stimulator with 16 channels built in microprocessor was constructed and applied to paraplegic patients due to lumbar cord injury. The electrical stimulator restored partially gait function in paraplegic patients. 30626 T00401030626 ^x Two-Dimensional modelling of the Cochlear biomechanics is presented in this paper. The Laplace partial differential equation which represents the fluid mechanics of the Cochlea has been transformed into two-dimensional electrical transmission line. The procedure of this transformation is explained in detail. The comparison between one and two dimensional models is also presented. This electrical modelling of the basilar membrane (BM) is clearly useful for the next approach to the further. Development of active elements which are essential in the producing of the sharp tuning of the BM. This paper shows that two-dimension model is qualitatively better than one-dimensional model both in amplitude and phase responses of the BM displacement. The present model is only for frequency response. However because the model is electrical, the two-dimensional transmission line model can be extended to time response without any difficult. 30627 T00401030627 ^x A method has been proposed for the fully automatic detection of left ventricular endocardial boundary in 2D short axis echocardiogram using geometric model. The procedure has the following three distinct stages. First, the initial center is estimated by the initial center estimation algorithm which is applied to decimated image. Second, the center estimation algorithm is applied to original image and then best-fit elliptic model estimation is processed. Third, best-fit boundary is detected by the cost function which is based on the best-fit elliptic model. The proposed method shows effective result without manual intervention by a human operator. 30628 T00401030628 ^x The intelligent trajectory control method that controls moving direction and average velocity for a prosthetic arm is proposed by pattern recognition and force estimations using EMG signals. Also, we propose the real time trajectory planning method which generates continuous accelleration paths using 3 stage linear filters to minimize the impact to human body induced by arm motions and to reduce the muscle fatigue. We use combination of MLP and fuzzy filter for pattern recognition to estimate the direction of a muscle and Hogan's method for the force estimation. EMG signals are acquired by using a amputation simulator and 2 dimensional joystick motion. The simulation results of proposed prosthetic arm control system using the EMf signals show that the arm is effectively followed the desired trajectory depended on estimated force and direction of muscle movements. 30638 T00401030638 ^x A new neural network architecture for the recognition of patterns from images is proposed, which is partially based on the results of physiological studies. The proposed network is composed of multi-layers and the nerve cells in each layer are connected by spatial filters which approximate receptive fields in optic nerve fields. In the proposed method, patterns recognition for complicated images is carried out using global features as well as local features such as lines and end-points. A new generating method of matched filers representing global features is proposed in this network. 30659 T00401030659 ^x An implementation scheme of the magnetic nerve stimulator using a switching mode power supply is proposed. By using a switching mode power supply rather than a conventional linear power supply for charging high voltage capacitors, the weight and size of the magnetic nerve stimulator can be considerably reduced. Maximum output voltage of the developed magnetic nerve stimulator using the switching mode power supply is 3,000 volts and switching time is about 100 msec. Experimental results or human nerve stimulations using the developed stimulator are presented. 30768 T00401030768 ^x In this paper, we describe the design methodology and specifications of the developed module-based bedside monitors for patient monitoring. The bedside monitor consists of a main unit and module cases with various parameter modules. The main unit includes a 12.1" TFT color LCD, a main CPU board, and peripherals such as a module controller, Ethernet LAN card, video card, rotate/push button controller, etc. The main unit can connect at maximum three module cases each of which can accommodate up to 7 parameter modules. They include the modules for electrocardiograph, respiration, invasive blood pressure, noninvasive blood pressure, temperature, and SpO2 with Plethysmograph.

연구는 전라북도지역의 보건기관 공무원을 대상으로 지역담당제 실시에 관한 인식과 태도에 대한 기초자료를 얻기 위한 목적으로 시도하였다. 보건기관 근무 공무원들은 지역담당제에 대한 이해도가 매우 높았으며, 지역담당제 실시에 있어 그 실시의 필요성을 높게 인식하고 있으나, 그 실시시기는 단계적 실시의 주장이 높았으며, 제공서비스로는 방문간호와 만성질환관리에 높은 의견을 보였다. 건강증진사업에 국한할 시 건강교실이, 노인보건사업에 국한할 시 방문간호와 거동불편자, 독거노인 등이 높게 나타났으며, 지역담당제 구축을 위한 선결과제로는 재원확보, 인력 및 조직이 재정비가 가장 시급한 것으로 인식하고 있다. 제도개선사항으로는 근무여건 개선이 우선이었고, 지역담당제 구축을 위한 정보체계 확립이 부족하다고 인식하고 있으며, 팀별 지역담당제를 통한 보건사업 전달체계 확립을 위해 적정 전문인력의 배치를 가장 높게 들었다. 지역담당제 실시에 관한 이점으로 대상자에 대한 관리가 잘될 수 있고, 전문성 향상으로 환자에 대한 간호의 질이 향상될 것으로 인식하고 있다. 지역보건사업에서의 지역사회 주민의 요구증대 및 다양화에 따른 대응이 부족하며, 보건소의 사업의 내용개발에 있어서 충분히 개발되고 있지 못하다고 인식하고 있다. 그리고 새로운 보건사업의 확장에 있어서 가장 큰 문제로서 획일적(형식적)사업을 들고 있다. 이러한 연구결과 등을 토대로 하여 지역담당제 정착을 위한 검토방안과 추진전략에 대하여 아래와 같이 제언하고자 한다. 첫째, 지역담당제 실시는 단계적으로 담당지역을 선정하여 실시하고, 지역적 특성을 고려한 사업의 추진이 있어야하며, 현행의 보건사업 업무중에서 이들 사업이 지역담당중심으로 수행하는 것이 좋을 것인지 사업중심으로 수행하는 것이 효율적인 것인지를 사업대상 및 범위, 지리적 여건, 현재의 보건소 업무 수행체계를 근거로 검토되는 등 다양한 측면이 재고려되어야 한다. 둘째, 지역사회의 현실적인 요구의 수준과 보건소의 현재 위상을 중심으로 자원과 예산 소요를 추정하고 타당성과 현실성을 검토할 필요가 있으며, 이와 더불어 지역주민의 요구와 수요에 부응할 수 있도록 단계적으로 보건소 방문간호사 인력의 확충방안을 강구하고, 방문간호사 교육 훈련비 및 방문차량 구입비 등을 재원확보 및 지원을 하여야 하며, 보건소 사업에서 지역담당제에 관한 연구개발 및 시범운영이 있어야 할 것으로 판단된다. 셋째, 대상자 관리의 내실화와 지역사회 주민의 서비스 욕구에 대한 만족도를 제고시키기 위하여 사업내용을 충분히 개발해야 하며, 지역담당자의 근무여건을 개선하는 등 전문인력의 배치가 요구된다. 마지막으로 과거와는 달리 환경과 보건에 대한 일반인의 관심이 급격하게 확산되고 있는 상황 속에서 소수 전문가들의 실험적 시범사업으로는 대중적인 지지기반을 확대할 수 없기 때문에 지역담당제가 일반주민의 생활속에서 대중화된 사업으로 정착시킬 수 있어야 하며, 그동안 지역담당제에 대한 논의나 연구가 소수의 연구자 및 한정된 시범지역에 의해서만 연구된 점을 지양하고 폭 넓은 연구가 지속되어야 함을 제언한다.
