Background: Winged scapular (WS) causes muscle imbalance with abnormal patterns when moving the arm. In particular, the over-activation of the upper trapezius (UT) and decrease in activity of the lower trapezius (LT) and serratus anterior (SA) produce abnormal scapulohumeral rhythm. Therefore, the SA requires special attention in all shoulder rehabilitation programs. In fact, many previous studies have been devoted to the SA muscle strength training needed for WS correction. Objects: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of shoulder girdle muscle and ratio according to the angle of shoulder abduction and external weight in supine position. Methods: Twenty three WS patients participated in this experiment. They performed scapular protraction exercise in supine position with the weights of 0 kg, 1 kg, 1.5 kg, and 2 kg at shoulder abduction angles of $0^{\circ}$, $30^{\circ}$, $60^{\circ}$, and $90^{\circ}$. The angle and weight applications were randomized. Surface electromyography (EMG) was used to collect the EMG data of the SA, pectoralis major (PM), and UT during the exercise. The ratio of PM/SA and UT/SA was confirmed. Two-way repeated analyses of variance were used to determine the statistical significance of SA, PM, and UT and the ratios of PM/SA and UT/SA. Results: There was a significant difference in SA according to angle (p<.05). Significant differences were also identified depending on the angle and weight (p<.05). The angle of abduction at $0^{\circ}$, $30^{\circ}$ and weight of 2 kg showed the highest SA activity. However, there was no significant difference between PM and UT (p>.05). There was a significant difference between PM/SA and UT/SA in ratio of muscle activity according to angle (p<.05). Significant differences were found at PM/SA angles of $30^{\circ}$, $60^{\circ}$ and $90^{\circ}$ (p<.05). For UT/SA, significant difference was only observed at $90^{\circ}$ (p<.05). Conclusion: Based on the results of this study, in order to strengthen the SA, it was found to be most effective to use 1 and 1.5 kg weights with abduction angles of $0^{\circ}$ and $30^{\circ}$ at shoulder protraction in supine position.

시각적으로 부적절하고 부담스러운 요소 등을 감소시킬 필요성의 인식 하에 시각 흐름상 정보를 보다 효율적으로 파악할 수 있는 구체적이고 실증적인 방법을 제시하고자 정보의 기본적 전달 매개체인 텍스트를 대상으로 지면에서의 시각 흐름의 특징들과 이에 영향을 미치는 타이포그래피적 요인들을 살펴보고, 나아가 시각 흐름에 영향을 미치는 실제 요인들 중에서의 몇 가지를 추출하여 시각 흐름상 유의미한 차이가 있는지 실험으로써 검증하였다. 그 결과, 효율적인 글자 크기와 글줄 길이 간의 관계는 약 1:8의 비율을 보였다. 또한 지면에서의 텍스트 배열 중에서 글줄 길이에 상관없이 세로로 배열의 효율성이 가장 높다는 것을 확인하였다. 더욱이, 세로로 긴 텍스트의 경우에서 왼쪽에서 오른쪽으로 흐르는 층계 배열보다 세로 배열의 읽기 속도가 빠름을 볼 때, 컬럼 간의 실질적인 눈의 이동 거리를 좁히는 것보다 읽는 방향과 배열을 일치시키는 것이 더욱 효율적인 시각 흐름을 알 수 있다.

본 연구에서는 대차에서 계측한 가속도 데이터를 사용하여 궤도틀림을 식별하기 위한 알고리즘을 제안하였다. 등가 SISO 모델에 의한 정상궤도틀림 상태에서의 대차진동과 궤도틀림과의 주파수영역 전달함수를 정의하고, 이를 역으로 이용하여 대차에서 계측한 가속도 데이터로 궤도틀림을 예측하였다. 예측된 값과 기준값과의 잔차의 분산 비로정의되는 틀림지수를 사용하여 궤도틀림의 이상을 분석하였다. 궤도틀림을 시간에 따라 변하는 변위 경계조건으로 고려하여 3차원 수치예제를 수행하였으며, 제안된 알고리즘의 타당성을 검증하였다.

Home health care is moving into a set of new realities. An era of competition and cost containment has arrived. Before nurses are able to contain costs or describe the relationship between nursing activities, cost must be accurately measured based on the nurse's workload. Nurses in home health care usually desire to measure expenses for one of three reasons : reimbursement, management, or research. The purpose of the study was to investigate the work input by Registered Nurse in each of the home health care activities by relative value units and identify the factors affecting the nurses' total work input in health care services. To measure the work input by nurses, work was defined by four dimensions: time, physical effort, mental effort, and stress. This study used a descriptive-correlational design. Data collection consisted of two phases. In phase I, data on home health activities performed by nurses were collected. In phase II, data on nurses' time, physical effort, mental effort, and stress in each of home health care activities discovered phase I were collected. In this method, the respondent was asked to rate a service in relation to a reference service using a ratio scale. The sample included 39 home health care nurses. The results of the study indicated that home health care activities performed by the nurses were in 10 categories and 69 items. Measuring the relative work inputs in each of home health care activities, and foley catheterization was selected as the reference to service. In terms of time and physical effort dimensions, full bath service was rated as the most strenuous among 69 activities by the respondents, and intramuscular injection was rated as least. It was found that emergency treatment required the highest mental effort and the highest stress, while blood sugar tests required the lowest mental effort. Approximately 91.3% of the variance in total work input was accounted for by the linear combination of time, physical effort, mental effort judgement, and stress. Examining the regression coefficients of those variables, physical effort, time, and stress were found as the predictors which were significantly associated with the total work of nurses in home health care. Professional nursing's next step in the conundrum of economic volatility is to develop a tool to reflect the interaction of functional deficiency and direct professional nursing care. And this will be a more accurate predictor of nursing resource use and ultimately a great forcaeter cost.
