Purpose: This study was conducted to design and implement a fundamental nursing practice based on flipped learning and to examine the effects. Methods: Participants were 57 students who were taking the fundamental nursing practice course at D university in N city. The study included processes of instructional design, action/effects and reflection. Data were analyzed using paired t-test with the SPSS/WIN 23.0. Results: In the instructional design stage, the class consisted of 3 parts: outside class (pre-learning), inside class (assessment, collaborative practice, peer review, reflection), after-class (self-directed practice, feedback). In the action/effects stage, the flipped learning was applied for 15 weeks according to the instructional design and then the effects of flipped learning were evaluated. Students showed a significant improvement in self-directed learning ability (t=-3.56, p=.001) and critical thinking disposition after the class (t=-3.72, p<.001). Finally, in the reflection stage, the researchers examined whether the four pillars of flipped learning occurred. Conclusion: Findings indicate that flipped learning applied in fundamental nursing practice is effective in improving self-directed learning ability and critical thinking disposition. The action research method was a useful way to foster professor's educational competency as well as to verify effects of a new nursing education method.

This work is for examining a simplified equation based on the rational formula, which can easily decide storm-water detention volume in small urban catchments. The storm-water detention volume is determined by the inflow hydrograph flowing to detention basin and the outflow hydrograph discharged from the detention basin. The ratio of average outflow over the period of rainfall duration against allowable discharge was 0.5 in former simplified equation. But this research has found that the average outflow ratio depends on the storage methodology. In the case of the on-line storage method, the average outflow ratio is a function of the time of concentration of the catchments and rainfall duration, which ranged from 0.5~1.0. In the case of the off-line storage method, the average ratio is a function of peak discharge and allowable discharge except above time of concentration and rainfall duration, where its function value ranged from 1.0~2.0. When applying this equation to small catchment in Mokpo city, South Korea, we could easily calculate the relation curve between the storm-water detention volume and allowable discharge.

본 연구에서는 pH가 7과 8인 조건에서 디메칠아민 농도를 0.05 mM로 고정시키고 클로라민 농도 변화에 따른 NDMA 생성농도를 측정하여 회귀식을 개발하였다. 클로라민/디메칠아민 비율이 1보다 클 때와 작을 때에 NDMA 생성에 큰 차이를 보여 통계분석에서 구분하여 회귀식을 제시하였다. NDMA 생성 농도는 클로라민/디메칠아민 비율에 높은 상관성을 보여 주었다. 개발한 회귀식을 근거로 하여 NDMA 생성 농도를 기존 연구에 적용한 결과 상대오차는 $-79{\sim}163%$로 조사되었다. 상수 처리장에서 원수의 디메칠아민 농도를 알 경우 이 식을 적용 하면 NDMA 발생 범위를 제시하여 주입할 클로라민 농도나 전처리 필요성을 결정하는데 도움을 줄 것으로 생각된다.
