본 연구의 목적은 증숙 및 발효과정을 거친 천마추출물이 LPS로 유도된 간 손상에 미치는 효능을 평가하고자 하였다. 증숙 횟수 및 발효균을 달리한 25가지 시료 중 DPPH와 ABTS 라디칼 소거능을 측정하여 생 천마(GR0F0)와 6회 증숙한 후, Saccharomyces cerevisiae균으로 발효한 GR6F4간의 비교실험이 가능할 것으로 사료되었다. 마우스는 6마리씩 4그룹(정상군, 대조군, GR0F0 투여군, GR6F4투여군)으로 나누어 실험을 진행하였다. LPS를 투여하기 전, 각 시료를 200 mg/kg/day로 8일간 경구 투여하였으며, 간 손상을 유발하기 위하여 LPS를 20 mg/kg로 복강투여하였다. 혈액에서 AST, ALT를 측정한 결과, 대조군에서 그 수치가 증가하였고, GR6F4군에서 감소하였을 뿐 아니라, 혈액 및 간에서 측정한 ROS 수치 또한 유의하게 감소하였다. 간조직에서 AP-1, COX-2, TNF-${\alpha}$와 INOS를 측정한 결과, GR0F0 또한 감소하였으나, 증숙 및 발효과정을 거친 GR6F4군에서 더욱 큰 효과를 보이는 것을 확인하였다. 이러한 결과들은 GR6F4의 뛰어난 항산화 및 항염증 효과를 증명하며, 그러므로 증숙 및 발효과정을 거친 천마는 간 손상에 보호효과가 있다고 보여진다.

철골구조에서 뿜칠내화피복재는 화재발생시 철골구조물의 내력이 저하되는 것을 방지하는 중요한 자재이다. 그러나 인력에 의한 작업 등으로 인하여 품질관리가 어렵고, 기능인력의 수급도 용이하지 않으며, 기능인력이 유해한 환경에 노출될 가능성도 높은 실정이다. 일반적으로 이와 같이 품질관리가 어렵고 인체에 유해한 건설작업들은 자동화 장비를 도입함으로써 문제를 어느 정도 완화할 수 있다. 그러나 기존의 건설현장은 환경이 비구조화되어 있기 때문에 장비의 주행이나 작업위치선정 등까지 자동화하기는 매우 어려웠다. 본 연구에서는 뿜칠내화피복 작업을 자동화하기 위한 기초연구로써, 자동화시스템과 첨단기술인 RTLS와의 연계성을 검토하고 내화피복 뿜칠 자동화작업의 시나리오, 시스템 구성요소 등을 제안하였다. 제안된 시스템은 아직 개념단계이므로 많은 제약조건들이 해결되지는 않았으나, 제안된 시스템으로 작업하면 내화피복의 균일한 피복두께를 유지할 수 있으며, 철골 구조물과의 일체성을 확보하며, 내화성능을 향상시킬 수 있을 것으로 기대된다. 또한 내화피복의 품질이 확보됨에 따라, 대형 철골 구조물에 화재가 발생하더라도 일정한 강도를 유지할 수 있어서, 화재의 전이를 방지하는 데에 효과가 있을 것으로 예상된다. 향후에는 첨단 IT인 USN등 첨단 모니터링 기술, BIM기술, 자재의 위치정보 인식기술 등과 연계하여 본 연구를 진행할 예정이다. 이와같은 기술과 본 연구가 연계되면, 국내 건설자동화 수준을 제고시키고, 건설 자원의 효율적 체계적 관리를 통한 비용절감, 공기단축, 정밀시공 등을 구현하는 데에 더욱 기여할 수 있을 것이다.

In general, empowerment is defined as the motivational concept of autonomy and self-efficacy. Recently, the concept of empowerment is applied to improve organizational staff's job satisfaction and organizational commitment in many organizations. Empower-ment in service organizations, i.e., hospitals, has certainly generated more publicity than any other organizations. The objectives of this study are, first, to measure the degree of hospital employees' empowerment using Spreitzer(1995)'s empowerment theory, second, to analyze the causal relationship of organizational and job characteristics, a degree of empowerment, and organizational performance(job satisfaction and organizational commitment), and third, to offer the strategy for the improvement of job satisfaction and organizational commitment. Spreitzer insists that the empowerment is composed of 4 dimensions(meaning, competence, self-determination, and impact). And he argues that various work-related characteristics is a direct cause of empowerment and the indirect cause of job satisfaction and organizational commitment, mediated by the empowerment latent variable. In order to perform this study, data were collected by self-administered questionnaires from hospital employees working in administrative department of 3 university hospitals in Inchon and Kyunggi-Do region. The number of cases is 181(response rate; 86%). The Collected data were analyzed with SPSS Ver. 10.0 and AMOSV Ver. 4.0. First, to test validity of variables, the factor analysis was used. Second, to test reliability, Cronbach's alpha coefficients was calculated. Cronbach's alpha of empowerment variable is 0.8323 showing that there's no problem in regard to the internal consistency. Also the Cronbach's alpha of other variables are 0.8301 of the degree of perceived control, 0.6705 of job characteristics, O.8787 of compensation, 0.9254 of job satisfaction, and 0.8389 of organizational commitment, respectively. Among the questions of job characteristics, two survey questions are deleted due to lowering the reliability. Third, to test multicollinearity and correlation of variables, the correlation analysis was performed. There was no problem of multicollinearity. Finally structural equation modelling (SEM) analysis was conducted to find the causal relationship of organizational and job Characteristics, empowerment, job satisfaction and organizational commitment. The 16 variables are included for the SEM analysis. The major results of this study are as follows: First, in the case of model fitness, the condition of x$^2$ statistic(92.187) is not fully satisfied, but the indices of GFI(0.912), AGFI(0.863), NFI(0.917) and CFI(0.928) are partially satisfied, which needs to upper 0.90. Second, in the result of hypotheses testing, all hypotheses are accepted and have a positive effect in 95% or 99% confidence interval(P<0.05 or P<0.001) except the effect of compensation variable on empowerment(P=0.082). Third, in regard to the direct, indirect, and total effect of variables, the direct effect of perceived control, task characteristics, and compensation on job satisfaction are 0.728, 2.264, 0.328 and on organizational commitment are 0.094, 1.411, 0.418, respectively. Also the indirect effect of perceived control, task characteristics, and compensation on job satisfaction are 0.311, 0.196, 0.028 and on organizational commitment are 0.210, 0.132, 0.019, respectively. Thus, these findings imply that various work-related factors are direct effect of empowerment and indirect effect of result variables, job satisfaction and organizational commitment. Also These results showed that the workplace empowerment is significant mediating factor of employee's job satisfaction and organizational commitment.

우리 사회가 성숙해지면서 사회적 자본으로서 신뢰에 대한 관심이 커지고 있으며, 사회적 자본에 대한 연구가 시민사회와 국가경제 발전에 대한 사회학적 관심에서 출발하여 기업의 역량강화에 대한 관심으로 확산되고 있다. 특히 중소벤처기업의 경우 최소인원으로 핵심기능만을 조직화한 창업이 늘어나고, 핵심기능에 집중하는 부문별 Partner의 책임경영 체제가 강조되면서 기업의 가치창조를 결정하는 변인과 과정에 대한 관심이 커지고 있다. 본 연구는 중소벤처기업의 가치창조와 장기적 생존을 위하여 필수적인 구성원의 협력과 조직의 혁신행동을 달성하기 위한 변인과 과정을 알아보기 위하여 실증적 연구를 시도하였다. 기업조직의 수준에서 Nahapiet & Ghoshal이 제안한 사회적 자본의 3가지 차원 즉, 구조적 차원, 인지적 차원, 관계적 차원의 변수로서 조직공정성, 공유가치, 조직신뢰를 선택하고 기업성과의 선행변수인 직무만족을 거쳐 기업성과의 대용변수인 혁신행동에 긍정적 영향을 미칠 것이라는 가설을 수립하여 검정하였다. 기업의 조직구성과 운영은 사회적 계약관계이므로 조직공정성과 공유가치가 직무만족에 긍정적 영향을 미치고, 직무만족이 혁신행동에 긍정적 영향을 미치며, 조직신뢰는 직무만족과 혁신행동 사이의 관계에 매개효과를 갖는 인지적 과정과 조직적 맥락을 분석하였다. 구체적으로 직무만족이 혁신행동에 미치는 직접적 효과(69%)에 비하여 조직신뢰가 혁신행동에 미치는 간접적 효과(31%)가 작지 않게 나타났으며 상대적으로 중요한 변수로 관찰되었다. 구성원 30인 이하의 중소벤처기업의 경우에는 직접효과(36%)보다 오히려 간접효과(64%)가 더 큰 것으로 나타났으며, 이는 구성원의 직무만족을 높이기 위한 노력과 함께 조직신뢰를 최우선적으로 확보하여야 한다는 점을 보여준 것이다. 본 연구의 의의는 구성원 30인 이하의 중소벤처기업의 경우 조직신뢰가 조직공정성, 공유가치, 직무만족보다 더욱 큰 영향력을 갖는 변수라는 점을 실증적으로 확인하였다는 점에 있다. 추가적으로 혁신과 생존을 위하여 조직신뢰를 포함한 사회적 자본의 제반요소를 강화하기 위한 실행방안을 논의하였다.

The increase of the supply of medical service and the increase of hospitals have intensified the competition of hospitals, and the advancement towards internationalization in the opening of medical industry has triggered the infinite competition of medical profession. In addition, the high expectation of customers and quality improvement in the medical care in accordance with the improvement of overall income, and the change of active role of medical consumers according to the popularization and the improvement of rights awareness reflect the customer needs and choice in the medical service. Customers wanted to receive the kind and pleasant service under the up-to-date medical service. Therefore, as a solution, hospital coordinators were emerged for the purpose of smooth treatment and customer satisfaction by generalizing all service of hospital. Accordingly, this thesis attempted to investigate the effect of hospital coordinator education curriculum on the education satisfaction and the quality of medical service. In order to solve the purpose of this study, I, author reviewed the existing literatures, established hypothesis, and verified hypothesis by using the variety of statistics techniques such as reliability, validity, frequency analysis, and regression analysis. The verification of hypothesis is as followings: First, among education training factors of hospital coordinators, the quality of instructor significantly affects the satisfaction of hospital coordinator education training. Second, among training factors of hospital coordinator, the attitude of trainee significantly affects the training satisfaction of hospital coordinator. Third, among education training factors of hospital coordinator, education course significantly affects the training satisfaction of hospital coordinator education. As the qualities of instructor are better equipped, the satisfaction of education becomes higher. It indicates that the education method of instructors is important as an index to represent the qualities of instructor such as the appropriateness of education method, preparation, passion, visual materials, the adequacy of education procession, and specialized knowledge, and it has important effect on the satisfaction of education. In order to enhance the satisfaction of hospital coordinator education, the creation of education environment, making trainee concentrate on the education, is required by appropriately allocating programs, arousing interest in education, based on the attitude of trainee, discussion, and preliminary programs, preparation, ahead of enforcement of education. Fourth, the satisfaction of hospital coordinator education training significantly affects the reliability among the qualities of medical service. Fifth, satisfaction of hospital coordinator education training significantly affects hospitality I kindness among the qualities of medical service. If the education satisfaction of trainee is high, it is effective in the practical application such as dealing with complaints, the duty performance for the patients, and so on in offering the medical service, related to reliability and furthermore, we can find the positive change in the attitude change of medical professions related to the reliability of hospital coordinator. In addition, in the process of offering medical services such as the kind explanation on the duty, rapid response to the customers inquiry, and tidy uniform, practical effect was verified. Sixth, the education training factor of hospital coordinator significantly affects the reliability among the quality of medical service. Seventh, the education training factors of hospital coordinator significantly affect hospitality/kindness. In the education of hospital coordinator, the methods to attract the interest of trainee by emphasizing reliability should be sought and for gaining the practical effect of hospital coordinator education, the sufficient preparation and investigation on the education curriculum should be prerequisite and under this condition, intensified discussion on the instructor and education course is needed. In the design of education course, more education hours and subjects should be allocated in the part of hospitality in order to improve the practical application of hospitality. Therefore, it is meaningful in a sense that this study newly approached the components of hospital coordinator education and the need to modify the quality components of medical service in accordance with the study subjects was raised. This study also finds its meaning in that it provides basic materials for the study of future hospital coordinator education by suggesting the system development model of hospital coordinator education through preliminary study of education training. In addition, this study is meaningful in the aspect that it suggested the direction of education training by showing how the hospital coordinator education training would applied to the hospital coordinator course of the Continuing Education Center at Pusan and Kyungnam National University to some extent. Since all investigation of this study was approached from the side of hospital coordinator, the thoughts of patients who are beneficiaries of medical service, and care givers cannot be identified. Therefore, the satisfaction of patients and care givers through the experience of medical service, which is the essential prerequisite of medical service, should be importantly considered and investigated. Accordingly, The study of comparing and analyzing the views of both patients and care givers should be carried out in the future.

This paper is the forth and fifth one of the study on balanced type oscillating mole drainer. In the light of the results from previous reports about the model tests, some design criteria were established and a prototype machine was set up for experimental purpose. Motion characteristics and functionof the each parts of the machine were checked and analyzed. After that, performance tests of the prototype machine were carried out in thefield. Obtained results are summarized as follows ; 1. Ten centimeter of the bullet diameter was determined so as to be able to attach it to the tractors with capacity of 30 PS to 40 PS. 2. To maintain the balance between the moments of the front shank and rear shank, the oscillating amplitude of the rear bullet was determined to be larger than that of the front bullet. At the same time , the oscillating direction of the rear bullet was designed with the inclines of ten to thirty degrees. 3. An octagonal dynamo transduced was developed for measuring the compressive force of the upper link is measuring the draft force of the machine. Acceptable linear relationship between forces and strain responses from O.D.T. was obtained. 4. Analysing the balancing mechanism of the acting part of the machine , it was found that the total draft force of the machine was equal to the difference between the sum of the draft force produced from the right and left side bending moments of the lower drawber and the compressive force on the upper link. 5. There are acceptable linear relationship between the strain and twisting moment by driving shaft, and between strain and shank moment. Above results enable us to carry out the field experiment with prototype machine. 6. When the test machine was used in the field, it was possible to reduce the oscillating acceleration by forty percent in average as compared it with the single bullet mole drainer. 7. When the test machine was used under the oscillating condition, the dratt torce was reduced by 27 percent to 59 percent as compared it with the test machine under non-oscillating condition, while the draft force was increased by 7 percent to 20 percent as compared it with the mole drainer having oscillating single bullet. The reasoning behind this fact was considered as the resistance force due to the rear shank and bullet. 8. As the amplitude and frequency of the bullet were increased, the torque was increased accordingly. This tendency could be varied with the various characteristics of the given soils. And the larger frequency and amplitute, the more increasing oscil\ulcornerlating power but decreasing draft brce were needed, and draft force was increased as the velocity was increased.9. When the amplitude of the rear bullet was designed to be larger than that of the front bullet, the minimum value of the moment was lowered and oscillating acceleration was reduced. And when the oscillating direction of the rear bullet was declined back\ulcornerwards, oscillating acceleration was increased along with the increasing angle of decli\ulcornernation. When the test machine was operated in high speed, the difference between maximum moments and minimum ones became narrow. This varying magnitude of moments appeared on the moment oscillogram seems to be correlated to the oscillating acceleration and draft force. 10. From the analysis of variance, it was found that those factors such as frequency, amplitude, and operating velocity significantly affected in the oscillating acceleration, the draft resistance, the torque, the moment, and the total power required. And interaction between frequency and amplitude affected in the oscillating acceleration. 11. Within the given situation of this study, the most preferable operating conditions of the test machine were 7 Hz in oscillating frequency, 0.54 m/sec in operating velocity, and 39.1 mm in oscillating amplitude of front and rear bullets. However, it is necessary to select the proper frequency and magnitude of oscillation depending on the soil properties of the field in which the mole drainer is practiced by use of a bal1nced type oscillating mole drainer. 12. It is recommended that a comparative study of the mole drainers would be performed in the near future using two separate balanced oscillating bullet with the one which is operated by oscillating the movable bullet in a single cylinder or other balanced type which may be single oscillating bullet with spring, damper or balancing weight, and that of thing. To expand the applicability of the balanced type oscillating mole drainer in practical use, it is suggested to develop a new mechanism which perform mole drain with vinyl pipe or filling material such as rice hull.

본 연구는 철봉운동에서 기본이 되는 동작인 몸펴 한번 뒤돌아 내리기 동작을 단계적으로 분석한 후, 이를 토대로 하여 현재 시합상황 중 가장 널리 사용되는 응용동작인 몸펴 두 번 뒤돌아 내리기 동작과 몸펴 두 번 뒤돌며 한번 비틀어 내리기 동작의 운동학적 분석을 수행하여 개개분절 간의 상호작용을 해부학적 3차원 각운동과 각속도로 설명하고 이해할 수 있는 운동학적 자료를 제시하는데 있다. 피험자들은 현재 K대학교에 재학중이며 대학 대표선수인 남자 기계체조 선수 7명을 선정하였으며, 연구에 사용된 인체의 모델은 Zatsiorsky와 Seluyanov(1983, 1985)이 사용한 16개의 분절로 이루어진 인체의 모델을 사용하였다. 신체무게중심이 이동방향을 설명할 수 있는 투사각도 및 투사속도는 공중동작의 회전수가 증가할수록 신체무게중심이 투사되는 각도가 증가되며, 이렇게 증가된 신체무게중심의 투사각도는 신체무게중심의 최고점을 증가시키는 경향을 보였다. 3차원 투사속도를 살펴본 결과 Z방향(수직방향)은 공중돌기 회전수가 증가할수록 증가하는 경향이 나타났으나, 운동진행 방향인 Y방향 속도와 좌우측 기울기를 설명할 수 있는 X방향 속도에서는 의미 있는 차이를 보이지 않았다. 철봉 내리기 공중동작에서의 신체분절 및 각도 변화도 중요하지만 각운동량을 만들어내기 위한 동작준비구간의 각도 변화가 더욱더 중요하다고 할 수 있다. 즉, 상체가 철봉 아래 봉과 수직될 때부터 릴리즈 순간까지의 각도 변화에 주목해야 하는 데, 회전수가 증가할수록, 어깨관절 각도와 엉덩관절 각도 변화가 두드러지게 나타나 준비구간의 추기기 동작(Whip swing)의 주된 관절로 작용을 한다. 관성좌표계에 대한 상체의 움직임을 나타내는 3차원 방향의 각도 즉, 뒤돌기(somersault)각도, 틀기(twist)각도 그리고 기울기(tilt)각도로 설명이 되는데, 본 연구의 결과 릴리즈시 뒤돌기 각은 세가지 내리기 동작 유형에 따라 평균 57,7도, 38.8도 그리고 39.7도로 나타났으며, 기울기 각은 평균 -1.5도, -5.4도 그리고 -8.4도로 유의한 차이를 보이고 있으며, 틀기각도는 평균 13.4도, 10.6도 그리고 23.3도로 몸펴 두번 뒤돌며 한번 비틀어 내리기 경우 가장 큰 수치를 나타냈다.

This study was designed to compare the differences m results of supervisor and subordinate rating. Data was collected from personnel evaluation and subordinate rating results for middle managers(n=68) in hospital from 3rd January to 20th March in 2004. Supervisor rating consisted of performance, ability and attitude evaluation. Subordinate rating consisted of leadership, ability and attitude evaluation. Collected data included sociodemographic characteristics, work department, work level, years of work, years at present level and whether working in a patient serving department. The difference of standardized supervisor and subordinate rating score was used to define groups as 'higher in supervisor rating group'. Groups were defined in total score, ability score and attitude score. Main results were as follows: 1. In total score, sectional chiefs were apt to be 'higher in subordinate rating group' while chief clerks were apt to be 'similar group' or 'higher in supervisor rating group'. Staffs in patient serving department were likely to be 'higher in supervisor rating group' and staffs in non-patient serving department were likely to be 'higher in subordinate rating group'. All these results were statistically significant. 2. In ability score, there were no statistically significant differences in age, sex, years of education, work department, work level, years of work and whether working in a patient serving department among 'higher in supervisor rating group', 'similar group' and 'higher in subordinate rating group'. 3. In attitude score, staffs in the department of medical affairs and the department of administration were apt to be 'higher in subordinate rating group'. Staffs in the department of nursing were apt to be 'higher in supervisor rating group'. Staffs in a patient serving department were likely to be 'higher in supervisor rating group' and staffs in a non-patient serving department were likely to be 'higher in subordinate rating group'. All these results were statistically significant. 4. Logistic analysis about total score showed that sectional chiefs had higher Odds Ratio(OR) to be in 'higher in subordinate rating group'. Staffs in a non-patient serving department had higher OR to be in 'higher in subordinate rating group'. Both these results were statistically significant. 5. Logistic analysis about ability score showed that sectional chiefs had higher OR to be in 'higher in subordinate rating group'. Staffs in a non-patient serving department had higher OR to be in 'higher in subordinate rating group'. These results were not statistically significant. 6. Logistic analysis about total score showed that sectional chiefs had higher OR to be in 'higher in subordinate rating group', but the difference was not statistically significant. Staffs in a non-patient serving department had significantly higher OR to be in 'higher in subordinate rating group'. In conclusion, there is no clear superiority between supervisor and subordinate rating in personnel evaluation. It would be better to use a mixed model. It's also suggested to use an intervening rate of application or scores considering work levels and work department in personnel evaluation. These results would be helpful for hospitals planning a supervisor and subordinate rating system for personnel evaluation.

최근 인터넷 비즈니스의 열풍으로 인하여 국내 인터넷 비즈니스 업체의 수와 사업내용은 여느 선진국가에 못지 않게 높은 성장 및 확장을 보여왔다. 하지만 국내에서 사용되고 있는 인터넷 관련 장비의 대부분은 해외에서 생산된 제품이 주를 이루고 있으며, 실제로 1999년 국내 인터넷 관련 장비 시장에서 국내업체가 차지하는 비중은 불과 27%에 지나지 않았다. 이와 같이 선진 해외 제조업체를 필두로 한 해외 업체의 국내 인터넷 시장 잠식이 본격적으로 진행되고 있는 상황에서, 고객의 요구 충족 및 원가 절감을 통한 경쟁우위의 확보는 국내 제조업체가 생존하기 위한 필수적인 사항이 되고 말았다. 본 연구에서는 지난 몇 년 동안 국내 PC서버 시장의 1위 자리를 놓고 해외 업체와 치열한 경쟁을 벌이고 있는 국내 대표적인 PC서버 제조업체를 대상으로 하여, 이 업체의 공급체인상에 존재하는 비효율, 즉 부품발주주기 간격이 다소 긴 점을 발견하고 이를 수정할 경우 공급체인 전반의 보유 재고량과 총비용 측면에서 나타나는 효과를 시뮬레이션을 통해 분석하였다. 기존에 30일이었던 발주주기를 7일로 단축시켜 시뮬레이션한 결과, 공급체인상의 평균 부품 재고량은 현저히 감소하였으며 판매손실의 감소와 더불어 공급체인 전반에 걸친 총비용의 추정값을 낮추는 결과가 나타났다. 비록 평균 완제품 재고량이 소폭 증가하였고 주문 횟수가 증가함에 따라 총주문비용이 증가하기는 하였지만 발주주기의 단축을 통해 얻어진 평균 부품 재고량의 감소와 판매손실의 감소 이득이 이를 충분히 상쇄하여 최종적으로 총비용 추정값이 감소하는 결과를 보여주었다.
