제4차 산업혁명의 도래로 IT(information technology)를 활용한 다양한 융합기술에 대한 관심이 높아지고 있으며, 이에 따른 고품질의 IT관련 교육서비스 제공의 필요성 및 중요성 또한 점차 증대되고 있다. 한편, 일반적인 교육서비스 품질 및 만족도에 관한 연구는 그 동안 다양한 맥락에서 활발히 진행된 바 있으나, IT교육 참가자를 대상으로 한 IT교육 서비스품질의 역할을 살펴본 연구는 상대적으로 부족한 것으로 파악된다. 이에 본 연구에서는 SERVPERF 모형 및 관련 선행연구를 바탕으로 IT교육 맥락에서 IT교육 서비스품질의 다섯 가지 차원(유형성, 신뢰성, 반응성, 확신성 및 공감성)을 도출하고, 이러한 세부 IT교육 서비스품질 요인이 학습자의 교육만족도, 나아가 현업적용의도 및 추천의도에 미치는 영향을 검증하였다. 또한, 이러한 영향이 학습자 직위(실무자 집단/관리자 집단) 및 참여동기(자발적 참여집단/비자발적 참여집단)에 따라 어떻게 달라지는지에 대한 추가분석도 실시하였다. 서울 소재 'M'교육기관 203명의 IT교육 참가자 대상 설문을 활용한 구조방정식모형 분석 결과, IT교육 서비스품질의 다섯 가지 차원 가운데 유형성, 신뢰성 및 확신성이 교육만족도에 유의한 영향을 주는 것으로 나타났으며, 이러한 교육만족도는 현업적용의도와 추천의도에도 유의한 영향을 주는 것으로 조사되었다. 또한, IT교육 서비스품질이 교육만족도에 미치는 영향 관계에서 학습자 직위 및 참여동기가 유의한 조절효과를 가진다는 사실을 확인하였다. 본 연구는 SERVPERF 모형을 활용하여 IT교육 맥락에서 IT교육 서비스품질의 영향력을 실증한 최초의 연구라는 점에서 학술적 의의가 있다. 본 연구결과가 IT교육 서비스 제공기관의 교육만족도 제고 및 효율적인 서비스 운영을 위한 실질적인 지침을 제공해 줄 수 있을 것으로 기대한다.

The US supports the Information and Communication (IC) industry as a strategic one to wield a complete power over the World Market. However, several other countries are also eager to have the support for the IC industry because the industry produces a high added value and has a significant effect on other industries. Korea is not an exception. Korea recently succeeded in the commercialization of CDMA for the first time in the world, after the successful development of TDX. Hence, it is highly likely to get tracked by the US. Although the IC industry is a specific sector of IT, there is a concern that there might be a trade friction between the US and Korea due to a possible competition. It will be very important to prepare a solution in advance so that Korea could prevent the friction and at the same time increase its share domestically and globally. It will be our important task to solve the problem with the minimum cost if the conflict arises unfortunately in the IT area. The parties that have a strong influence on the US trade policy are the think tank group and the IT-related interest group. Therefore, it would be important to have a close relationship with them. We found some implications by analyzing the case of Japan, which has experienced trade frictions with the US over the long period of time in the high tech industry. In order to get rid of those conflicts with the US, the Japanese did the following things : (1) The Japanese government developed supporting theories and also resorted to international support so that the world could support the Japanese theories. (2) Through continual dialogue with the US business people, the Japanese business people sought after solutions to share profits among the Japanese and the US both in the domestic and in the worldwide markets. They focused on lobbying activities to influence the US public opinion to support the Japanese. The specific implementation plan was first to open culture lobby toward opinion leaders who were leaders about the US opinion. The institution, Japan Society, were formed to deliver a high quality lobbying activities. The second plan is economic lobby. They have established Japanese Economic Institute at Washington. They provide information about Japan regularly or irregularly to the US government, research institution, universities, etc., that are interested in Japan. The main objective behind these activities though is to advertise the validity of Japanese policy. Japanese top executives, practical interest groups on international trade, are trying to justify their position by direct contact with the US policy makers. The third one is political lobby. Japan is very careful about this political lobby. It is doing its best not to give impression that Japan is trying to shape the US policy making. It is collecting a vast amount of information to make a correct judgment on situation. It is not tilted toward one political party or the other, and is rather developing a long-term network of people who understand and support the Japanese policy. The following implications were drawn from the experience of Japan. First, the Korean government should develop a long-term plan and execute it to improve the Korean image perceived by American people. Second, the Korean government should begin public relation activities toward the US elite group. It is inevitable to make an effort to advertise Korea to this elite group because this group leads public opinion in the USA. Third, the Korean government needs the development of a relevant policy to elevate the positive atmosphere for advertising toward the US. For example, we need information about to whom and how to about lobbying activities, personnel network who immediately respond to wrong articles about Korea in the US press, and lastly the most recent data bank of Korean support group inside the USA. Fourth, the Korean government should create an atmosphere to facilitate the advertising toward the US. Examples include provision of incentives in tax on the expenses for the advertising toward the US and provision of rewards to those who significantly contribute to the advertising activities. Fifth, the Korean government should perform the role of a bridge between Korean and the US business people. Sixth, the government should promptly analyze the policy of IT industry, a strategic area, and timely distribute information to industries in Korea. Since the Korean government is the only institution that has formal contact with the US government, it is highly likely to provide information of a high quality. The followings are some implications for business institutions. First, Korean business organization should carefully analyze and observe the business policy and managerial conditions of US companies. It is very important to do so because all the trade frictions arise at the business level. Second, it is also very important that the top management of Korean firms contact the opinion leaders of the US. Third, it is critically needed that Korean business people sent to the USA do their part for PR activities. Fourth, it is very important to advertise to American employees in Korean companies. If we cannot convince our American employees, it would be a lot harder to convince regular American. Therefore, it is very important to make the American employees the support group for Korean ways. Fifth, it should try to get much information as early as possible about the US firms policy in the IT area. It should give an enormous effort on early collection of information because by doing so it has more time to respond. Sixth, it should research on the PR cases of foreign enterprise or non-American companies inside the USA. The research needs to identify the success factors and the failure factors. Finally, the business firm will get more valuable information if it analyzes and responds to, according to each medium.

서병오(徐丙五, 1862-1936)는 서구적 '미술' 개념의 도입으로 일본화 내지 서양화로 기울던 일제강점기 시서화일치의 대구 문인화단이 형성되는데 중추적인 역할을 하였다. 그는 1879년 이하응(李昰應, 1820-1898)과의 만남을 계기로 서화계에 입문하였으나, 문인화가로 본격적인 활동을 시작한 것은 1910년 경술국치 이후부터이다. 그의 예술세계는 세 시기로 구분되며, 학습기인 1879년부터 1897년까지는 관직 진출을 목표로 하였던 때문인지 중국 화보를 임모하거나 이하응의 영향 아래 사군자화를 여가에 그리는 정도였다. 발전기는 1898년부터 1920년까지로 그는 애국계몽운동 등 사회적 지도자로 활동하다 1910년 경술국치 이후 삶의 방향을 문인화가로 전환하였다. 그리고 두 번째 중국 여행에서 다시 만난 민영익(閔泳翊, 1860-1914)의 운미란과 포화(蒲華, 1830-1911)의 묵죽법을 근간으로 새로운 화풍을 적극 모색함과 동시에 산수, 화훼, 기명절지 등의 화목도 다루었다. 완숙기인 1921년부터 1936년까지는 대구와 한양을 오가며 근대 한국 화단의 서화가로 왕성하게 활동하였으며, 묵란과 묵죽에서 윤묵의 호방한 필법을 특징으로 하는 개성적 화풍을 완성하였다. 특히 학습기의 경우 관련 기록이나 현전작품이 드물어 서병오의 창작활동이나 화풍 등에 관한 것은 추론의 수준을 벗어나지 못하고 있다. 이와 관련해 본고에서 집중적으로 분석한 서병오의 1889년작 난석죽도 11점은 학습기의 화풍 연원이나 수준을 가늠할 수 있는 중요한 단서라는 점에서 주목된다. 1889년작 난죽석도 가운데 묵란도는, 이하응이 1882년 7월 청군에 의해 체포되기 이전에 그린 초기 군란도와 석란도에서 영향 받았다는 사실을 확인하였다. 묵죽도는 한양에 널리 알려진 양주화파 정섭(鄭燮, 1693-1765)과 김정희의 제자 허련(許鍊, 1809-1892)의 화법을 수용했을 뿐만 아니라 이하응의 석란도 형식을 응용하여 변화를 시도했던 것으로 보인다. 괴석도의 경우 직접적인 관련성은 찾지 못하였으나, 19세기 후반 청나라의 괴석화가 주당(周棠, 1806-1876)과 여항화가 정학교(丁學敎, 1832-1914) 등에게 영향을 받았던 것으로 판단된다. 결론적으로 서병오의 1889년작 난죽석도는 학습기에 그려진 것으로 운현궁을 찾았던 허련과 정학교 같은 동시기 화가들이나, 한양에 작품이 유입되었던 정섭과 주당 등의 중국 작품을 실견하며 이들의 화풍을 수용하였다는 사실을 알려준다.

칠팔년간고국성(七八年間古國城)으로 시작하는 증산의 비결시는 그 원형이 『정감록』에 수록된 것이라 주장되고 있다. 증산이 『정감록』에 대해 비판적이었음이 명확히 확인됨에도 불구하고, 이 주장은 "증산이 『정감록』에 심취했고 상당한 영향을 받았다."라는 담론의 근거가 되었다. 하지만 이 주장은 『정감록』과 사상적 지향점이 다른 비결서인 『서계가장결』에 수록되어 있던 한시를 『정감록』의 비결시로 오인함으로써 비롯되었다. 결국, 예시 84절의 한시는 더는 증산에 대한 『정감록』의 깊은 영향을 주장하는 근거가 될 수는 없다. 증산이 『정감록』의 깊은 영향을 받았다는 주장은 예시 84절의 한시 외에도 세 가지 문헌을 그 근거로 한다. 첫째는 "천개어자 지벽어축인기어인[天開於子 地闢於丑 人起於寅]"의 어구로 소강절의 『황극경세』에서 비롯된 것이다. 이 어구는 조선에서는 숙어처럼 쓰이던 매우 일상적인 용어였다. 따라서 『정감록』과 대순사상이 이를 공유하고 있다는 것을 근거로 『정감록』과 증산을 관련짓는 것은 증산이 『정감록』에 심취하였다는 예단에서 비롯된 왜곡인 것이다. 둘째는 "모악산하(母岳山下)에 금불(金佛)이 능언(能言)하고"라는 어구이다. 이는 정감비결의 "모악산두 금불능언[母岳山頭 金佛能言]"의 어구와 거의 같다. 하지만 증산은 두(頭)를 정반대의 하(下)로 뒤집고 자신만의 종교적 예언을 덧붙인다. 비결을 전복하여 비결을 비판하고 해체하는 것이다. 셋째는 "불지형체선지조화유지범절(佛之形體仙之造化儒之凡節)"이라는 대순사상의 특징과 관련된 어구이다. 『초창결(蕉蒼訣)』이라는 비결서에 유일하게 발견되어 대순사상에 대한 『정감록』의 영향을 입증하는 주요 근거로 제시되었다. 하지만 『초창결』의 내용과 필사 시기 등을 통해 분석하면 『초창결』은 1950년대 이후 편집된 비결서이기에 이 어구도 대순사상에 대한 정감 비결의 영향을 입증하는 근거는 될 수 없다. 오히려 역으로 『초창결』이 대순사상의 편린을 흡수하여 새롭게 편집되었음을 시사하는 많은 증거가 발견된다. 결국, 증산과 대순사상에 대한 『정감록』의 일방적인 영향을 주장할 수 있는 근거는 없다. 따라서 증산의 『정감록』에 대해 일견 모순되어 보이는 모습은 잘못된 사실관계에 기반하여 구축된 허상인 것이다. 그러므로 증산에 의해 전개된 대순사상이 정감 비결의 풍수도참적 역성 혁명 사상의 영향을 받았다는 주장은 원점에서 재검토되어야 한다.

불교가 융성했던 고려 사회 속에서 만들어진 청자에는 불교문화의 여러 단면이 담겨 있다. 그중 범자(梵字)가 새겨진 상감청자는 불교 중에서도 밀교와 밀접한 영향 관계에 있을 것이란 점은 익히 알려져 왔으나 판독을 통한 구체적인 연구는 큰 진전을 이루지 못했다. 이는 전하고 있는 자료의 수가 적은 데다 잔존 범자도 많지 않았기 때문이다. 그런데 최근 강진 사당리 23호 요지에서 이루어진 4차에 걸친 발굴조사를 통해 새로운 자료를 발견하게 되었고, 이 자료들을 판독하여 기존 자료들도 몇 가지 유형에 편입시킬 수 있었다. 범자 판독과 해석을 통해 얻은 연구 성과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 청자에 상감된 범자는 진언(眞言)을 이루는 글자들이었다. 범자 한 자만 남아 있는 경우 해석을 유보해야 했지만, 그 밖의 범자들은 동심원 구조인 자륜진언(字輪眞言) 방식 속에서 '정법계진언', '육자대명진언', '감로수진언', '보루각진언', '구보살원주', '무량수여래심주', '멸악취진언'을 표기하고 있었음을 판독했다. 각 진언은 실담(悉曇, Siddham) 범자로 표기되어 있었다. 둘째, 제작 시기는 범자 배치 방식과 '감로수진언'이 40수 진언에 포함되는 양상을 근거로 13~14세기에 걸친 것으로 보았다. 특히 진언이 있는 동심원 구조의 상감청자 자료들은 제작 특징을 보아 13세기 말~14세기 전반으로 편년했다. 셋째, 상감된 진언들의 해석을 통해 모두 파지옥(破地獄)과 정토왕생(淨土往生)을 의미하고 있음을 알았다. 이를 근거로 범자 진언명 상감청자들 중 일부는 시아귀회(施餓鬼會)와 같은 망자(亡者)를 위한 불교 의례에 사용했으리라 판단했다. 또한 사당리 23호 요지와 '가'구역이 왕실용 자기 생산지로 추정되기 때문에 의례 또한 왕실 혹은 그 영향력 안에 있는 사찰에서 이루어진 것으로 보았다. 넷째, 범자 진언명 상감청자들은 원대 자기의 직접적인 영향을 받았다고 볼 수 없었다. 그래서 티베트 불교의 영향을 받은 원의 불교문화와 고려가 이미 품고 있던 밀교적 요소가 더해져 나타난 것으로 보았다. 다섯째, 범자 진언명 상감청자들은 고려 후기 사회에 퍼져 있던 개인적 밀교 의례의 한 측면을 보여 주는 자료였다. 당장의 불안을 해소해 주길 바라는 데서 촉발된 밀교의 변화는 묘지(墓誌), 관등에서도 찾을 수 있었는데 파지옥과 극락왕생에 대한 염원이라는 공통점이 있었다. 여섯째, 다른 공예품과 비교할 때 공통점으로 실담 범자를 사용했다는 점, '육자대명진언'을 중심적으로 활용했다는 점, 기와와 배치 방법이 유사하다는 점, 범종·목관·묘지의 진언과 의미상 상통한다는 점이 있었다. 차이점으로는 '멸악취진언'과 '감로수진언'은 다른 공예품에서 발견하지 못했다는 점이다. 또한 상감청자 특유의 경제성과 제작의 용이성은 다른 공예품과 차별되는 장점으로, 바로 이 점 때문에 범자 진언을 새길 기명으로 청자가 채택되었던 것으로 보았다. 본 연구에서 판독하지 못한 자료들은 추후 잔존 상태가 양호한 자료가 보고된다면 새로운 유형을 수립하여 편입시킬 수 있을 것이다.

The relative state of human iron storage may be ascertained more reliably through determination of the serum iron, iron binding capacity, transferrin saturation and absorption of radioactive iron in conjunction with studies of red cell morphology than from the study of red cell morphology alone. Recent investigations have shown that there is an increase in red cell protoporphyrin concentration in iron deficiency anemia. The significance of the red cell protoporphyrin has been discussed greatly during the years since its discovery. Two of the main factors which appear to influence the amaunt of protoporphyrin are increased erythropoiesis and factors interfering with the utilization of iron in the synthesis of hemoglobin, and iron deficiency. Recently Heller et al. have described a simplified method for blood protoporphyrin assay and this technique could be used assess nutritional iron status, wherein even minor insufficiencies are detectable as increased protoporphyrin concentrations. Based on the evaluation of the relationship between nutritional iron status and red cell protoporphyrin as an index suitable for the detection of the iron deficiency is described in this paper. RESULTS 1. Hemoglobin Concentrations and Anthropometric Measurements. The mean and standard deviations of the various anthropometric measurements of different age and sex groups are shown in table 1. There measurements have been compared with the Korean Standard. In the absence of local standards for arm circumference and skin-fold thickness over triceps, they have been compared with the standard from Jelliffe. Table 2,3, and 4 give anthropometric measurements and frequency (%) of anemia in children surveyed. The mean height of the children studid was 10 to 20 percent; below the Korean Standard. The distribution of height below 80 percent of the Standard was 21.2 percent, however, among anemic group this percentage was 27.7 percent. In general, the mean weight of the children was 10 to 15 percent below the Korean Standard. The percentage of children with weight less than 80 percent of the Standard was about 35 percent. But in the anemic group of the children, this percentage was 44 percent. The mean arm circumference was about 15 percent lower than the Jelliffe's standard. 61.2 percent of the children had values of arm circumference below 80 percent of the standard. Children with low hemoglobin levels, this percentage was 80 percent. The mean skinfold thickness over the triceps of the children studied was about 25 Percent lower than the Jelliffe's standard and 61.2 percent of the children had the value less than 80 percent of the standard. Among anemic children, this percentage was 70.8%. As may be seen from table 5, the mean hemoglobin concentration of the total group was 11.3g/100ml. Hemoglobin concentration was less than 11.0g/100ml. in 65(36.5%) of the 178 children. The degree of anemia in most of these children was mild with a hemoglobin level of less than 8.0g/100ml. found in only one child. In general, the prevalence of anemia was high in female children than male and decreased its frequency with increasing age. Relatively close relationship was observed between hemoglobin level and anthrophometric measurements especially high between arm circumference and skinfold thickness and hemoglobin but very low in height and low in weight and hemoglobin level, estimated by chi-square value. II. Serum iron, Transferrin saturation (1) Serum iron, and transferrin saturation Serum iron, transferrin saturation and red cell protoporphyrin concentrations were estimated in sub-sample of 84 children from 1 to 6 years and 24 older children between 7 and 13 years of age. The findings are presented in table 6. The mean serum iron concentration of the total group was 59ug/100ml. However, the level incrased with age from 36.6ug/100ml. (1-3years) to 80.8ug/100ml. (7-13 years). 60 percent of these children had a serum iron level less than 50ug/10ml. in the 1-3 years age group and 31.4 percent for 4-6 years group. These contrast with the finding of 12.5 percent anemic children in the 7-13 years age group. The mean transferrin saturation for the total group was 18.1 percent and frequency of anemia by transferrin saturation was observed same pattern as serum iron concentration. (2) Red cell protoporphyrin concentrations. (a) Red cell protoporphrin levels of children: Red cell protoporphyrin and other biochemical data are shown in table 4. The mean concentration in red cell of all children was fround 46.3ug/100ml. RBC. and differences with age groups were observed; in the age group 1-3 years, the mean concentration was $59.5{\pm}32.14$ ug/100ml. RBC; 4-6 years $44.1{\pm}22.57$ ug/100ml. RBC. and 7-13 years, $39.0{\pm}13.56$ ug/100ml. RBC. (b) Normal protoporphyrin values in adults: It was observed that in 10 normal adult males studied here the level of protoporphyrin in red cell ranged from 18 to 54 ug/100ml. RBC. and the mean concentration was $47.5{\sim}14.47$ ug/100ml. RBC. Other biochemical determination made on the same subjects are presented in table 8. (c) Red tell protoporphyrin concentration of occupational blood donors: The results of analyses for red cell protoporphyrin as well as serum iron, transferrin saturation and hemoglobin in the 76 blood donors are presented in table 7 and 8. In this experiment, donors were selected at random, however, most of them bled repeatedly because of poor economic situation, I doubt. Table 9 shows the distribution of red cell protoporphyrin concentration and hemoglobin concentration of occupational donors. The mean hemoglobin value for the total was 11.9 g/100 ml. When iron deficiency anemia is defined as a transferrin saturation below 15%, prevalence of anemia was 47.4 percent and the mean serum iron was 27.1ug/100ml. and red cell protoporphyrin, 168.3ug/100ml. RBC. However, mean serum iron and protoporphyrin concentration of above 15% transferrin saturation were 11.6 ug/100 ml. and 58.8 ug/100 ml. RBC. respectively. The mean Protoporphyrin concentration of non-anemic (above 15% transferrin saturation) donors was slightly higher than the results of normal adult males.

국내의 고령화 문제를 인구학적 관점에서 바라보면 전체 인구수의 문제가 아니라 인구구조가 문제이다. 국내에서 규모가 가장 큰 인구집단은 베이비부머, 포스트 베이비부머 세대이다. 베이비부머 세대는 1955~1963년생으로 현재 인구는 700만 1,333명이며, 전체인구의 약 13.6%(2015년 기준)를 차지한다. 포스트 베이비부머 세대는 1964~1974년생으로 총인구는 956만 7,171명으로 총인구의 18.8%에 해당한다. 베이비부머 세대와 포스트 베이비부머 세대(총 인구대비 32.4%)가 은퇴를 시작하였고, 조만간 은퇴할 예정이다. 의학기술의 발달로 평균 수명이 지속해서 증가하고 있으며, 신생아의 출산율 저하, 생산인구의 감소는 국내의 경제를 어둡게 하고 있다. 이런 사회적 문제 인식과 문제 해결안으로 본 연구는 액티브 시니어들의 다양한 경력기반에 기초한 경력지향성과 창업 교육 만족도가 창업 의지, 창업 준비 행동에 미치는 영향 관계를 살펴보고, 또한 이들 간의 관계를 규명함으로써 액티브 시니어의 다양성에 대한 맞춤형 창업 교육중요성을 제안하고 시니어 창업정책 설계 및 자금지원, 창업 교육의 바람직한 방향을 제시하고자 한다. 이를 위해 이론적 배경을 바탕으로 액티브 시니어, 경력 지향성, 창업 교육 만족도, 창업 의지, 창업 준비 행동의 5개 요소의 개념을 정의하고, 특히 핵심이 되는 액티브 시니어의 개념적 정의를 베이비부머 세대인 50대, 60대로 비즈니스의 핵심소비 주체나 복지혜택의 수급대상자로 보는 것이 일반적이지만, 본 연구에서는 국내의 창업 시장에서의 40대, 50대, 60대 순으로 연령별 창업기업 수가 높은 것을 반영하여 액티브 시니어 창업가를 예비시니어(Pre Senior)를 포함한 경력, 경제력, 소비력을 갖추고 활발한 활동과 건강한 삶을 지향하는 40대에서 60대까지 세대를 액티브 시니어로 정의하였다. 가설검증 결과로 가설 1과 가설 5에서 경력 지향성은 창업 의지와 창업 준비 행동 영향을 미치는 것으로 검증되었다. 가설 3에서 창업 의지는 창업 준비 행동 간에 영향을 미치는 것으로 검증되었다. 가설 4에서 창업 교육 만족도는 창업 준비 행동에 영향을 미치는 것으로 검증되었다. 그러나 가설 2에서 창업 교육 만족도는 창업 의지에 영향을 미치지 않는 것으로 나타났다. 이와 같은 결과는 창업교육 만족도가 창업 의지에 직접적인 효과는 미치지 못하고 개인적인 경력 지향성의 영향을 통해 창업 의지를 높이는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구 결과를 활용하여 액티브시니어 창업정책 수립 방향 수립에 의미를 제공한다.

우리나라의 갑상선 암이 증가함에 따라서 갑상선 전 절제술 후 고용량 방사성동위원소 치료를 받는 환자 또한 증가하였다. 하지만 치료를 위해서 사용되는 I-131의 경우 반감기가 8.01일 이며 감마선과 베타선을 내는 특징이 있어 타인에게 줄 수 있는 외부 피폭의 영향을 막기 위해 일정기간 동안 환자가 격리병실에 입원하여 치료를 받게 된다. 이틀 내지 사흘 동안의 격리치료를 한 후 퇴원 전 환자의 몸에서 나오는 방사선량이 법적 기준(70 uSv/h)에 만족하는지 확인한 후 퇴원을 하게 된다. 그리고 다음 환자가 입원 시까지 병실 곳곳의 오염도를 확인 한 후 필요 시에는 제염작업을 수행하게 된다. 우리는 이러한 일련의 과정들 상에서 의료진들이 피폭의 영향을 받게 되는 주 요인으로는 환자의 퇴원선량 확인 및 치료병실의 오염도확인과 제염작업시의 피폭으로 예상된다. 본 연구는 환자의 여러 가지 요소들을(환자의 신기능, 연령, 성별, 초기 투여용량, Tg, Tg-ab)정하고 그 인자들을 통해 환자의 퇴원선량 및 치료병실 오염도에 어떠한 영향을 미치는지 알아보고자 한다. 본원에서 2011년 8월 1일부터 2012년 5월 29일까지 입원하여 고용량방사성 요오드 치료를 받은 환자 151명을 대상으로 실시하였다. 환자의 glomerular filtration rate (GFR) 값이 높을수록 퇴원선량이 낮은 상관관계를 보였다(P<0.001).초기 투여용량의 경우 5.5 GBq (150 mCi) 미만과 5.5 GBq (150 mCi) 이상을 투여 받은 환자군 두 그룹 사이에 평균 퇴원선량을 비교 분석한 결과 5.5 GBq (150 mCi) 미만을 투여 받은 환자 군에서 퇴원선량이 유의하게 낮음을 알 수 있었다($23.95{\pm}10.44uSv/h$, $28.65{\pm}11.79uSv/h$). 연령,성별, Tg, Tg-ab는 환자의 퇴원 선량과 유의한 관계를 보이지 않았다(p>0.05). 그리고 치료병실 오염도는 환자의 퇴원선량과 환자의 신기능과는 유의한 관계를 보이지 않았다 (p>0.05). 병실 오염도의 경우는 입원기간 동안 환자의 생활습관이나 기타 다른 다양한 요인에 의해 영향을 받을 것으로 사료된다. 비록 성별의 집단 간에 따라서 오차가 있다고 여겨지지만 추후 더 많은 환자들을 비교 분석 한다면 도움이 될 것이라고 판단된다. 또한 퇴원선량과 병실의 오염도에 영향을 줄 수 있는 기타 다른 요인들에 대해서도 지속적으로 연구한다면 환자 본인의 피폭뿐만 아니라 가족과 그주변인 의료진들에게도 조금이나마 피폭의 영향을 감소 시킬 수 있을 것이라고 사료된다.

Due to the increasing and intensifying competition in the Internet shopping market, it has been recognized as very important to develop an effective policy and strategy for acquiring loyal customers. For this reason, web site designers need to know if a new Internet shopping mall(ISM) will be accepted. Researchers have been working on identifying factors for explaining and predicting user acceptance of an ISM. Some studies, however, revealed inconsistent findings on the antecedents of user acceptance of a website. Lack of consideration for individual differences in user ability is believed to be one of the key reasons for the mixed findings. The elaboration likelihood model (ELM) and several studies have suggested that individual differences in ability plays an moderating role on the relationship between the antecedents and user acceptance. Despite the critical role of user ability, little research has examined the role of user ability in the Internet shopping mall context. The purpose of this study is to develop a user acceptance model that consider the moderating role of user ability in the context of Internet shopping. This study was initiated to see the ability of the technology acceptance model(TAM) to explain the acceptance of a specific ISM. According to TAM. which is one of the most influential models for explaining user acceptance of IT, an intention to use IT is determined by usefulness and ease of use. Given that interaction between user and website takes place through web interface, the decisions to accept and continue using an ISM depend on these beliefs. However, TAM neglects to consider the fact that many users would not stick to an ISM until they trust it although they may think it useful and easy to use. The importance of trust for user acceptance of ISM has been raised by the relational views. The relational view emphasizes the trust-building process between the user and ISM, and user's trust on the website is a major determinant of user acceptance. The proposed model extends and integrates the TAM and relational views on user acceptance of ISM by incorporating usefulness, ease of use, and trust. User acceptance is defined as a user's intention to reuse a specific ISM. And user ability is introduced into the model as moderating variable. Here, the user ability is defined as a degree of experiences, knowledge and skills regarding Internet shopping sites. The research model proposes that the ease of use, usefulness and trust of ISM are key determinants of user acceptance. In addition, this paper hypothesizes that the effects of the antecedents(i.e., ease of use, usefulness, and trust) on user acceptance may differ among users. In particular, this paper proposes a moderating effect of a user's ability on the relationship between antecedents with user's intention to reuse. The research model with eleven hypotheses was derived and tested through a survey that involved 470 university students. For each research variable, this paper used measurement items recognized for reliability and widely used in previous research. We slightly modified some items proper to the research context. The reliability and validity of the research variables were tested using the Crobnach's alpha and internal consistency reliability (ICR) values, standard factor loadings of the confirmative factor analysis, and average variance extracted (AVE) values. A LISREL method was used to test the suitability of the research model and its relating six hypotheses. Key findings of the results are summarized in the following. First, TAM's two constructs, ease of use and usefulness directly affect user acceptance. In addition, ease of use indirectly influences user acceptance by affecting trust. This implies that users tend to trust a shopping site and visit repeatedly when they perceive a specific ISM easy to use. Accordingly, designing a shopping site that allows users to navigate with heuristic and minimal clicks for finding information and products within the site is important for improving the site's trust and acceptance. Usefulness, however, was not found to influence trust. Second, among the three belief constructs(ease of use, usefulness, and trust), trust was empirically supported as the most important determinants of user acceptance. This implies that users require trustworthiness from an Internet shopping site to be repeat visitors of an ISM. Providing a sense of safety and eliminating the anxiety of online shoppers in relation to privacy, security, delivery, and product returns are critically important conditions for acquiring repeat visitors. Hence, in addition to usefulness and ease of use as in TAM, trust should be a fundamental determinants of user acceptance in the context of internet shopping. Third, the user's ability on using an Internet shopping site played a moderating role. For users with low ability, ease of use was found to be a more important factors in deciding to reuse the shopping mall, whereas usefulness and trust had more effects on users with high ability. Applying the EML theory to these findings, we can suggest that experienced and knowledgeable ISM users tend to elaborate on such usefulness aspects as efficient and effective shopping performance and trust factors as ability, benevolence, integrity, and predictability of a shopping site before they become repeat visitors of the site. In contrast, novice users tend to rely on the low elaborating features, such as the perceived ease of use. The existence of moderating effects suggests the fact that different individuals evaluate an ISM from different perspectives. The expert users are more interested in the outcome of the visit(usefulness) and trustworthiness(trust) than those novice visitors. The latter evaluate the ISM in a more superficial manner focusing on the novelty of the site and on other instrumental beliefs(ease of use). This is consistent with the insights proposed by the Heuristic-Systematic model. According to the Heuristic-Systematic model. a users act on the principle of minimum effort. Thus, the user considers an ISM heuristically, focusing on those aspects that are easy to process and evaluate(ease of use). When the user has sufficient experience and skills, the user will change to systematic processing, where they will evaluate more complex aspects of the site(its usefulness and trustworthiness). This implies that an ISM has to provide a minimum level of ease of use to make it possible for a user to evaluate its usefulness and trustworthiness. Ease of use is a necessary but not sufficient condition for the acceptance and use of an ISM. Overall, the empirical results generally support the proposed model and identify the moderating effect of the effects of user ability. More detailed interpretations and implications of the findings are discussed. The limitations of this study are also discussed to provide directions for future research.

Consumers differ in the way they make a purchase. An audio mania would willingly make a bold, yet serious, decision to buy a top-of-the-line home theater system, while he is not interested in replacing his two-decade-old shabby car. On the contrary, an automobile enthusiast wouldn't mind spending forty thousand dollars to buy a new Jaguar convertible, yet cares little about his junky component system. It is product involvement that helps us explain such differences among individuals in the purchase style. Product involvement refers to the extent to which a product is perceived to be important to a consumer (Zaichkowsky, 2001). Product involvement is an important factor that strongly influences consumer's purchase decision-making process, and thus has been of prime interest to consumer behavior researchers. Furthermore, researchers found that involvement is closely related to perceived risk (Dholakia, 2001). While abundant research exists addressing how product involvement relates to overall perceived risk, little attention has been paid to the relationship between involvement and different types of perceived risk in an electronic commerce setting. Given that perceived risk can be a substantial barrier to the online purchase (Jarvenpaa, 2000), research addressing such an issue will offer useful implications on what specific types of perceived risk an online firm should focus on mitigating if it is to increase sales to a fullest potential. Meanwhile, past research has focused on such consumer responses as information search and dissemination as a consequence of involvement, neglecting other behavioral responses like online merchant selection. For one example, will a consumer seriously considering the purchase of a pricey Guzzi bag perceive a great degree of risk associated with online buying and therefore choose to buy it from a digital storefront rather than from an online marketplace to mitigate risk? Will a consumer require greater trust on the part of the online merchant when the perceived risk of online buying is rather high? We intend to find answers to these research questions through an empirical study. This paper explores the impact of enduring product involvement and perceived risks on required trust level, and further on online merchant choice. For the purpose of the research, five types or components of perceived risk are taken into consideration, including financial, performance, delivery, psychological, and social risks. A research model has been built around the constructs under consideration, and 12 hypotheses have been developed based on the research model to examine the relationships between enduring involvement and five components of perceived risk, between five components of perceived risk and required trust level, between enduring involvement and required trust level, and finally between required trust level and preference toward an e-tailer. To attain our research objectives, we conducted an empirical analysis consisting of two phases of data collection: a pilot test and main survey. The pilot test was conducted using 25 college students to ensure that the questionnaire items are clear and straightforward. Then the main survey was conducted using 295 college students at a major university for nine days between December 13, 2010 and December 21, 2010. The measures employed to test the model included eight constructs: (1) enduring involvement, (2) financial risk, (3) performance risk, (4) delivery risk, (5) psychological risk, (6) social risk, (7) required trust level, (8) preference toward an e-tailer. The statistical package, SPSS 17.0, was used to test the internal consistency among the items within the individual measures. Based on the Cronbach's ${\alpha}$ coefficients of the individual measure, the reliability of all the variables is supported. Meanwhile, the Amos 18.0 package was employed to perform a confirmatory factor analysis designed to assess the unidimensionality of the measures. The goodness of fit for the measurement model was satisfied. Unidimensionality was tested using convergent, discriminant, and nomological validity. The statistical evidences proved that the three types of validity were all satisfied. Now the structured equation modeling technique was used to analyze the individual paths along the relationships among the research constructs. The results indicated that enduring involvement has significant positive relationships with all the five components of perceived risk, while only performance risk is significantly related to trust level required by consumers for purchase. It can be inferred from the findings that product performance problems are mostly likely to occur when a merchant behaves in an opportunistic manner. Positive relationships were also found between involvement and required trust level and between required trust level and online merchant choice. Enduring involvement is concerned with the pleasure a consumer derives from a product class and/or with the desire for knowledge for the product class, and thus is likely to motivate the consumer to look for ways of mitigating perceived risk by requiring a higher level of trust on the part of the online merchant. Likewise, a consumer requiring a high level of trust on the merchant will choose a digital storefront rather than an e-marketplace, since a digital storefront is believed to be trustworthier than an e-marketplace, as it fulfills orders by itself rather than acting as an intermediary. The findings of the present research provide both academic and practical implications. The first academic implication is that enduring product involvement is a strong motivator of consumer responses, especially the selection of a merchant, in the context of electronic shopping. Secondly, academicians are advised to pay attention to the finding that an individual component or type of perceived risk can be used as an important research construct, since it would allow one to pinpoint the specific types of risk that are influenced by antecedents or that influence consequents. Meanwhile, our research provides implications useful for online merchants (both online storefronts and e-marketplaces). Merchants may develop strategies to attract consumers by managing perceived performance risk involved in purchase decisions, since it was found to have significant positive relationship with the level of trust required by a consumer on the part of the merchant. One way to manage performance risk would be to thoroughly examine the product before shipping to ensure that it has no deficiencies or flaws. Secondly, digital storefronts are advised to focus on symbolic goods (e.g., cars, cell phones, fashion outfits, and handbags) in which consumers are relatively more involved than others, whereas e- marketplaces should put their emphasis on non-symbolic goods (e.g., drinks, books, MP3 players, and bike accessories).
