  • This study was conducted to evaluated the effects adding continuous passive motion(CPM) each day to the entire postoperative program of patients who received a total knee replacement(TKR). A retrospective chart review was completed for 31 patients(12 with bilateral involvement, totaling 44 knees)who received a TKR between 1996 and 1998. The data analysis compared the following variables for 28 patients who received CPM and 16 patients who received no CPM: the length of hospital stay(LOS), the frequency of postoperative complications, the number of post-operative days(PODs) range of motion (ROM). The CPM Group showed significant decreases in the frequency of complication(p<0.05), the LOS(p < 0.05), and No difference was demonstrated in the ROM of the two groups. We concluded that CPM was an effective adjunct to physical therapy care of patients undergoing total knee replacement.

  • This study begins to make inquires about user's opinion of introducing Interior Landscape into Apartment Housing to the problems of contemporary Interior Landscape and suggest the fundamental data to improve it. The city-ward drifting of population drawn from industrial development and aggravation of living condition bring about exclusion of nature and lack of green space. Furthermore, it increases the length of stay of urban liver in indoor space. Thus, dweller's desire to Interior Landscape increase but housing can't follow it. The purpose of this study is to understand characteristics of Interior Landscape, derive essential factors, study plans, establish radical data, and suggest better plans including Interior Landscape through making inquires about user's opinion.

  • The purpose of this paper is to estimate the economic value of beaches which are the major part of the East Sea Coast. ITCM (Individual Travel Cost Method) is applied to estimate the economic value of its beaches using Poisson, negative binomial, truncated Poisson and truncated negative binomial models. The consumer surplus during length of stay per capita is 214,088 won in beaches overall on the East Sea Coast, 206,398 won in Gangwon-do beaches and 271,171 won in Gyeongbuk/Ulsan beaches. Annual total economic value of its beaches considering the number of visitors at beaches is 6,269 billion won (3,970 billion won in Kangwondo beaches, 2,299 billion won in Kyungbuk/Ulsan beaches).

  • I. This study on planing menu for group feeding is based on the following ; 1) Decision of nutritive value is based on age, sex, and energy consumption of the students. 2) Selection of food is based on their preference for food through questionaire. 3) Amount of food calorie for each meal is based on data on energy consumption of their daily life. 4) Three data for planing menu for group feeding were based on food rice of each season, favourite foods of girl students and length of their stay at the institution. II. The menu for group feeding was evaluated on nutritive value calorie and protein, 5 basic food groups and price ; 1) The amount of calorie and protein for each season was satisfactory. 2) Each menu was composed of 5 basic food groups but the third group was not satisfactory compared with the other groups. 3) Average price of per day turned out to be 193 won which is less than the standard price, 200 won.

  • Water quality sampling surveys and continuous measurement of flow were conducted to identify wastewater flow characteristics for representative catchment of O and M treatment basins in A city. For HS-1 station representing commercial area, wastewater flow rises in the beginning of office-working hours, moves up and down within narrow range, and lasts till office-leaving hour, and falls gradually reflecting worker's returning home. However, in HS-2 station representing residential area, wastewater flow has two peaks, which are before office-going hour and after office-leaving hour. In residential area, the flow rate of weekends is higher than that of weekdays because it reflects population, being not contributed to generate wastewater during the working hours of weekdays, stay home and produce wastewater for weekends period. To determine the priority for rehabilitation of sewer system, infiltration rate was computed by dividing infiltration flow by mean diameter and total length of sewer, and HS-1 station ranked the first.

  • Responsible tourism has become an established area of the tourism industry. This study aims to identify the factors that influence re-participation in responsible tourism in rural Korea. On-site survey was conducted on 436 tourists by seven responsible tourism agencies in Korea. The motivation for responsible tourists was categorized into seven types: family togetherness, escape and relaxation, personal growth, social interaction, various experiences, learning, and natural experience. The estimation of a binary logistic regression model determined the characteristics of responsible tourists who are most likely to opt for re-participation in responsible tourism. Results indicated that important factors for re-participation in responsible tourism were 'age', 'educational level', 'accompany', 'length of stay', and 'motivation'. The results implied that tourists' internal and external factors are important for re-participation in responsible tourism. It is expected that this study will contribute to the market expansion of responsible tourism.

  • Minimally invasive esophagectomy (MIE) was first introduced in the 1990s. Currently, it is a widely accepted surgical approach for the treatment of esophageal cancer, as it is an oncologically sound procedure; its advantages when compared to open procedures, including reduction in postoperative complications, reduction in the length of hospital stay, and improvement in quality of life, are well documented. However, debates are still ongoing about the safety and efficacy of MIE. The present review focuses on some of the current issues related to conventional MIE and robot-assisted MIE based on evidence from the current literature.
