  • Purpose: The purpose of this study was to confirm the compliance of the application of a ventilator-associated pneumonia bundle and understand its effects on the decrease in the incidence of ventilator-associated pneumonia. Methods: This was a retrospective observational study with history control group design. Subjects were selected from January to June 2014, prior to the intervention using the ventilator-associated pneumonia bundle. Subjects were also selected from October 2014 to March 2015, 3 months after the intervention. The number of subjects was 112 before the intervention, and 107 after the intervention. Results: The number of nurses who followed the bundles increased from 8 out of 29 (27.6%) before the intervention to 19 out of 29 (65.5%) after the intervention (odd ratio= 4.99, confidence interval= 1.63-15.25, p= .004). There were 3 cases of ventilator-associated pneumonia before the intervention and 1 case after the intervention. The ventilator days were 2,143 days before the intervention and 2,232 days after the intervention. The ventilator-associated pneumonia rate of the 1,000 ventilator days was 1.40 before the intervention and decreased to 0.45 after the intervention. Conclusion: This study is meaningful, as there has been little research conducted regarding the application of the ventilator-associated pneumonia bundle in South Korea.

  • 선박이나 항공기에서 무게균형을 유지하면서 다양한 제한조건을 만족하는 문제들이 연구되었다. 또한, 부하의 모양과 무게가 동일한 조건과 m×n(m, n은 모두 홀수) 메시 구조에서 수학적 방법으로 문제를 해결하는 연구도 진행되었다. 문제는 기존의 수학적 무게균형 방식이 원형구조물에 부적합하다는 것이다. 본 논문에서는 N개의 등각다각형의 꼭짓점에 물체를 적재하는 원형 공간에서 부하 적재 문제를 연구하였다. N개의 등각다각형이 모두 짝수개의 각을 가진다고 가정할 때 부하의 수에 관계없이 항상 무게균형을 유지하는 적재 방식을 찾을 수 있음을 증명하였다. 드론 적재함의 구조 및 적재 방식을 제공하여 우리의 방식이 적절함을 보였다.

  • We conducted intensive observations of ozone, CO, $NO_x$ (=NO and $NO_2$), $NO_y$ (total odd nitrogen species including particulate nitrate) and total nitrate (the sum of gaseous $HNO_3$ and particulate nitrate) at Cape Hedo, Okinawa, Japan, from 19 March to 3 April, 2009, to investigate ozone production during long-range transport from the Asian continent. Ozone production efficiency (OPE) was used to evaluate photochemical ozone production. OPE is defined as the number of molecules of ozone produced photochemically during the lifetime of a $NO_x$ molecule. OPE is calculated by the ratio of the concentration increase of ozone to that of $NO_z$ ($=NO_y-NO_x$). Average OPE during observation was estimated to be $12.6{\pm}0.5$, but concentrations of ozone increased nonlinearly with those of $NO_z$. This non-linearity suggests that OPE depends on air mass origin and $NO_z$ concentrations. There were very different values of OPE for the same air mass origin, so that only the air mass origin alone does not control OPE. OPE was low when $NO_z$ concentration was high. We examined the correlation between $NO_z$ and $CO/NO_y$ ratios, which we used instead of the ratio of non-methane hydrocarbons (NMHCs) to $NO_x$. The $CO/NO_y$ ratios decreased with increasing $NO_z$ concentrations. These results indicate that competition reactions of OH with NMHCs and $NO_2$ are the rate determining steps of photochemical ozone production during long-range transport from the Asian continent to Cape Hedo, for high concentrations of nitrogen oxides.

  • 폴리(비닐 알코올)과 1-{4-(4'-시아노페닐아조)펜옥시}알킬브롬들(CAFBn, n=$2{\sim}10$)을 이용하여 곁사슬형 액정 동족체들인 폴리 [1-(4-(4'-시아노페닐아조)펜옥시알킬옥시)에틸렌]들(CAFETn, n=$2{\sim}10$, 유연격자중의 메틸렌 단위들의 수)을 합성함과 동시에 이들의 열방성 액정 특성을 검토하였다. n=$2{\sim}5$인 CAPBn은 액정 상들을 형성하지 않는 반면 CAPB6 그리고 n=$7{\sim}10$인 CAPBn들은 각각 쌍방성 그리고 단방성 네마틱 상들을 형성 하였다. 이러한 사실과 판이하게, CAPETn 고분자들 중에서 CAPET5만이 쌍방성 네마틱 상을 형성하는 반면 나머지 고분자들은 단방성 네미틱 상들을 형성하였다. CAPETn들의 액체 상에서 네마틱 상으로의 전이온도들 그리고 CAPBn들에 비해 큰 값들을 갖는 CAPETn들의 상 전이시의 엔트로피 변화는 n의 함수로서 전형적인 홀수-짝수 효과를 나타냈다. 이러한 상 전이 거동들을 Imrie에 의한 'virtual trimer model'의 견지에서 검토하였다. CAPETn들의 액정 상의 특성들은 폴리아크릴레이트, 폴리메타크릴레이트 그리고 폴리스티렌에 (시아노페닐아조)펜옥시 그룹들을 플리메틸렌 유연격자들을 통하여 연결시켜 얻은 고분자들에 대해 보고된 결과와 크게 달랐다. 이러한 결과들은 주사슬과 곁사슬 그룹의 화학적 결합양식이 액정 상의 형성능, 안정성 그리고 구조에 중요한 역할을 함을 시사한다.

  • 폴리 [1-{4-(4'-니트로페닐아조)페녹시카보널알카노일옥시}에틸렌]들(NAPEn, n=$2{\sim}8$,10, 유연격자 중의 메틸렌 단위들의 수)의 동족체들의 열방성 액정 거동을 검토하였다. 모든 동족체들은 단방성 네마틱 상들을 형성하였다. 유리전이온도들은 n이 증가함에 따라 낮아졌다. 이러한 사실은 곁사슬 그룹들에 의한 주사슬의 가소화에 의해 초래되는 것으로 생각된다. 액체 상에서 네마틱 상으로의 전이온도들은 n이 7까지는 낮아지며 홀수-짝수 효과를 나타냈다. 그러나 n>7인 동족체들의 전이온도는 거의 일정하게 되었다. 이러한 거동은 유연격자의 홀수-짝수의 변화에 기인한 곁사슬의 평균적인 형태변화의 견지에서 합리적으로 설명된다. 전이온도에서 관찰되는 엔트로피 증가의 변화도 동일한 관점에서 설명된다. NAPEn이 나타내는 액정 특성들은 폴리아크릴레이트, 폴리메타크릴레이트 그리고 폴리스틸렌에 아조벤젠 그룹들을 폴리메틸렌 유연격자들을 통하여 연결시켜 얻은 고분자들에 대해 보고된 결과와 전혀 달랐다. 이러한 결과들은 주사슬과 곁사슬의 화학적 결합양식이 액정상의 형성능, 안정성 그리고 구조에 중요한 역할을 함을 시사한다.

  • The present study investigated Bul-Chun-Wi Sacrificial Ritual (sacrificial service which has been handed down from generation to generation to worship the family ancestors in the period of $1400{\sim}1800$) and foods for the sacrificial service among fourteen head families in Andong area. The findings are as follows; 1. In Bul-Chun-Wi Sacrificial Rituals, family shrine has been maintained in good shape, and the table, dishes, and foods used in the rituals have not been changed so much until these days. 2. While vegetable soup is widely used as soup, one family uses the seaweed soup, the other soup mixed with meat, fish, and vegetable. Specially soybean-powdered soup, which is the distinguishable food in Andong area, has been used. 3. As a basic Ddock, mainly Si-Ru-Ddock(a steamed rice cake), piled up to 13-15 stacks, is used. Additional 7-9 kinds of Ddock are placed on top of the basic Ddock. 4. For grilled-meat food(Geuck), eight families use the raw meat, and one family uses the half-cooked meat. Recently, five families have used the cooked meat. Mostly used ones are meat-Geuck, fish-Geuck, chicken-Geuck, and the Geuck are not served one by one. Instead the Geuck are stacked in one dish designed for Geuck in order of meats from poultry, animal, fish, and shell. As the sub-dishes for rice, raw and cooked Geuck are used. 5. The number of stew (Tang) are 3 to 6 and 5 stews is the most popular. Commonly used stews are meat stew, fish stew, chicken stew, vegetable stew, blood stew, and organs stew. For the vegetable stew, buckwheat gel can be used. 6. As the fruit, chinese date, pear, nut and dried persimmons are the basic ones. The even number of 6 or 8 colorful fruits are used, while the odd number of 7 or 9 colorful fruits are used in three head families. 7. As Sik-Hae which is a drink and made from fermented rice, rice Sik-Hae or fish Sik-Hae has been necessarily used. 8. As raw meat dish, the liver of cow or meat is used. As a wrapping materials, the reticulum of a ruminant, green seaweed or thinly fried egg can be used.

  • 많은 수치 정점 정보를 사용하지 않는 대신 기하의 높이 정보를 저장한 높이 맵을 사용하여 복잡한 표면을 표현하는 기법은 많이 연구되어 왔다. 하지만 단층으로 구성된 높이 맵은 표면으로부터의 각 위치 당 한 개의 높이 정보를 저장하고 있으므로 복잡하고 오목한 물체를 표현할 수 없다. 이 논문에서는 다층으로 구성된 높이 맵을 사용하여 단일 높이 정보로는 재구성할 수 없는 복잡한 물체를 정확하게 그리는 방법에 대하여 소개한다. 우리는 그리고자 하는 장면의 높이 값을 텍스처의 각 채널에 높이에 따라 순차적으로 저장한 다층 높이 맵의 높이 정보가 2채널 마다 쌍을 이루며 기하 블록을 구성하는 점에 착안하였다. 안전하고 정확한 광선 탐색은 다증 높이 맵의 1, 3번 째 채널은 높이의 최대값을 2, 4번 째 채널은 높이의 최소값을 사용하여 이미지 피라미드를 구성함으로써 이루어진다. 이런 구조에서의 광선 탐색은 선형 탐색에 기반 한 기존의 방식들이 스침각에서 화질이 현저히 낮아지는 문제를 개선하였으며 실시간에서 표현이 가능하다.

  • Purpose: The purpose of this study was to identify which nursing interventions are the most effective in fall prevention for hospitalized patients. Methods: From 3,675 papers searched, 34 were selected for inclusion in the meta-analysis. Number of fallers, falls, falls per 1,000 hospital-days, and injurious falls, fall protection activity, knowledge related to falls, and self-efficacy about falls were evaluated as outcome variables. Data were analyzed using the Comprehensive Meta Analysis (CMA) 2.2 Version program and the effect sizes were shown as the Odd Ratio (OR) and Hedges's g. Results: Overall effect size of nursing interventions for fall prevention was OR=0.64 (95% CI: 0.57~0.73, p <.05) and Hedges's g= - 0.24. The effect sizes (OR) of each intervention ranged from 0.34 to 0.93, and the most effective nursing intervention was the education & environment intervention (OR=0.34, 95% CI: 0.28~0.42, p<.001), followed by education intervention (OR=0.57, 95% CI: 0.50~0.67, p=.001). Subgroup analyses showed that multifaceted interventions (OR=0.76, 95% CI: 0.73~0.79, p<.001) were more effective than unifactorial interventions, and that activities for prevention of falls (OR=0.08, 95% CI: 0.05~0.15, p<.001) showed the largest effect size among outcome variables. Conclusion: Falls in hospitalized patients can be effectively prevented using the nursing interventions identified in this study. These findings provide scientific evidence for developing and using effective nursing interventions to improve the safety of hospitalized patients.

  • Plywood, which is created by bonding an odd number of thin veneers perpendicular to the grain orientation of an adjacent layer, was developed to supplement the weak points such as contraction and expansion of conventional wood materials. With structural merits such as strength, durability, and good absorption against impact loads, plywood has been adopted as a structural material in the insulation system of a membrane type liquefied natural gas (LNG) carrier. In the present study, as an attempt to resolve recent failure problems with plywood in an LNG insulation system, conventional PF (phenolic-formaldehyde) resin plywood and its alternative MUF (melamine-urea-formaldehyde) resin bonded plywood were investigated by performing material bending tests at ambient ($20^{\circ}C$) and cryogenic ($-163^{\circ}C$) temperatures to understand the resin and grain effects on the mechanical behavior of the plywood. In addition, the failure characteristics of the plywood were investigated with regard to the grain orientation and testing temperature.

  • Working the night-shift and long working hours may be linked to insomnia. The purpose of this study is to determine the association between night-shift work and long working-hours with regard to subjective insomnia in Korean workers. This study was based on the Third Korean Working Condition Survey (KWCS) conducted on workers in 2011. The total number of individuals included in the analysis was 34,708 workers. Adjusted odd ratios showed statistically effective associations to insomnia. For night-shift work, the results were 2.71 (1.53 - 4.82) for night shift work by experts and managers, 2.95 (2.11 - 4.11) for night-shift work by officers, and 3.90 (2.05 - 7.42) for night-shift work by engineers compared with day duty. For long working hours, the scores were 2.43 (1.68-3.51) for >52 working hours by officers, 1.72 (1.15 - 2.58) for those in sales and service compared to ${\leq}40$ working hours. We suggest the need for Korean workers to target specific groups when creating policies related to reasonable environmental conditions.
