Objective : In this article, we overviewed clinical Korean Medicine studies on dementia by analyzing papers published in Korea from 2010 to 2019. Methods : We explored research articles on dementia from 5 Korean research databases using the keyword 'dementia' and 'Korean Medicine'. We included original articles and reviews of clinical Korean Medicine and excluded single case study and experiment article of animal model. Then we analyzed them according to the published year, journal type, and research topics. Results & Conclusions : Research topics were classified into 'research trend', 'treatment', 'prevention', 'evaluation', 'medical expenses', 'collaborative practice' and 'others'. The largest number of articles were published in 2011(24.4%). 'Journal of Oriental Neuropsychiatry' was the journal with the most published articles(46.3%). In research topics, the analyses of research trend accounted for the largest portion(39.0%) and the articles about treatment for dementia or evaluation index in Korean medicine had the second largest proportion(14.6%). We hope that various researches for therapeutic effects, mechanisms and preventive effects of Korean Medicine in dementia would be conducted for future study.

This article reports that a testee's content schemata have detrimental effects on the validity of standardized reading comprehension tests. in case that the reading passages constitute his prior background knowledge framed by regular academic pursuits focused on a major field of study. The empirical research findings on such a reliability issue have shown that the Korean subjects' familiarity with the content domain of the reading materials may substantially enhance their test performance, operated as unfair advantages over the other participants at the same level of English proficiency who do not possess technical knowledge closely related to the contents of the test passages. Based on these results, it may be argued that the reading text should be composed of maximally neutral contents to every testee to avoid the possible overlapping between a test-taker's content schemata and the content domain of the materials. Therefore, this article claims that the tenets of schema theory with its long-standing foundation on culturally predetermined content and formal schemata need to be expanded to cover professional knowledge structures, like those acquired by higher education, as the hard-wired framework of an individual's original culture-specific background knowledge.

Service quality is very important to marketers and consumers in that it has many strategic benefits in contributing to profitability of marketing activities and consumers' problem-solving activities. Moreover, despite the phenomenal growth of physical fitness centers little research has focused on the evaluation of service quality from exercisers' perspectives. The major purpose of this article is to explore the concept of two-factor model and its influences on exerciser's perception of quality. This article attempts to achieve its purpose by (1)classfying critical service attibutes into hygiene factors and satisfiers (2) measuring the relative importance of need criteria (3) evaluating SERVPERF model and SERVQUAL model in service sector and (4)identifying the relationship between overall satisfaction and behavior. In explaining the relationship between perceived performance and overall satisfaction only 27 out of original 33 survey items were appreared to be statistically significant. Hence a penalty-reward analysis was performed on these critical attributes to find out 11 satisfiers and 9 hygiene factors. In addition, it was found that only experience-based norms(SERVPERF model) were more appropriate than expectations to serve as a benchmark against which service experiences were compared(SERVQUAL model). However it must be noted that the degree of association to overall satisfaction was not consistent.

This article's purpose is to overcome the inadequacy of deliberative democracy for communication on the basis of Haewonsangsaeng. The inadequacy of deliberative democracy for communication is presented as the following two. First, as deliberative democracy treats civic virtue as instrumental thing, deliberative democracy is still in moral solipsism. Second, as deliberative democracy doesn't consider 'the inequality of power' among diverse political positions, the project of deliberative democracy for communication ends up in the exposure of the inequality of power among diverse political positions. Sangsaeng in Haewonsangsaeng concerned with inter-relationship over individualism treats civic virtue as original motility. In this context, Sangsaeng in Haewonsangsaeng is the alternative notion to overcome the first inadequacy of deliberative democracy for communication. Haewon in Haewonsangsaengas is the condition for Sangsaeng. and Haewon's method is to exclude or to eliminate the structural frame of Sanggeuk meaning mutual conflict and antagonism. This article presents two structural frame of Sanggeuk. First, First structural obstacle as internal obstacle is suggested through analyzing pluralism on the basis of existential philosophy. The result of the analysis is the 'antagonism' between the hegemonical value and the peripheral value. Second structural obstacle as external obstacle is the extinction of public sphere caused by the growth of market and the expansion of bureaucracy.

Much research has already been done on Donguibogam. However, comparison of specific characters was not done because researchers found it difficult to compare different editions of the text in one place. Recently, important editions have been published on the Internet, making comparison possible. In this paper, researchers compare eight editions Donguibogam, including the original edition published in 1613 and seven other editions corrected by the Naeuiwon (Joseon Dynasty National Medical Center). The comparison results were summarized and tabulated. The results of the comparison are analyzed and presented in this article as a chart. The result of comparing the characters and the analyzed graph were in agreement. The authors propose that all written and electronic publications of Donguibogam should refer to other editions implied, quoted or referenced within the text and including with proper citations, and reference the original and first edition. Inadequate referencing will pollute future knowledge of this foundational text of Traditional Korean Medicine and may result in perpetration of mis-information. Based on accumulated knowledge and study of historical Korean Medicine texts, the Namsan edition made a mistake in the editing process. The year of publication of Gabsul-yoengyoeng-gegan Edition needs to be studied again and corrections made where appropriate.

The purpose of this study is to suggest the schemes to enhance information service functions by the utilization of CD-ROM in medical school libraries. The results of the study are summarized as follows : 1. The selection and evaluation of CD-ROM database are necessary steps in the planning of a CD-ROM. Before the CD-ROM is selected, therefore, medical libraries must make a practical evaluation criteria in important order of information services environment, characteristics of hardware/software, service requirements, price and cost, etc. 2. If possible, CD-ROM MEDLINE must be suited for the information services environment. 3. In case of the popular core journals, full-text CD-ROM should be gradually purchased. 4. In order to reduce the time required from search of bibliographic informations to receipt of original articles, CD-NET system and library holding administration program must be built up and developed. And channel of information search and order/receipt of original article should be varied. 5. Search education program for medical librarians and users should be enforced, and librarians must play an important role in CD-ROM retrieval consultant and intermediator.
