Background: It is very difficult for hemiplegic patients to effectively perform the sit-to-stand (STS) movements independently because of several factors. Moreover, the analysis of STS motion in hemiplegic patients has been thus far confined to only muscle strength evaluation with little information available on structural and environmental factors of varying chair height and foot conditions. Objects: This study aimed to analyze the change in biomechanical factors (ground reaction force, center of mass displacement, and the angle and moment of joints) of the joints in the lower extremities with varying chair height and foot conditions in hemiplegic patients while they performed the STS movements. Methods: Nine hemiplegic patients voluntarily participated in this study. Their STS movements was analyzed in a total of nine sessions (one set of three consecutive sessions) with varying chair height and foot conditions. The biomechanical factors of the joints in the lower extremities were measured during the movements. Ground reaction force was measured using a force plate; and the other abovementioned parameters were measured using an infra-red camera. Two-way repeated analysis of variance was performed to determine the changes in biomechanical factors in the lower extremities with varying chair height and foot conditions. Results: No interaction was found between chair height and foot conditions (p>.05). All measured variables with varying chair height showed a significant difference (p<.05). Maximum joint flexion angle, maximum joint moment, and the displacement of the center of mass in foot conditions showed a significant difference (p<.05); however the maximum ground reaction force did not show a significant difference (p>.05). Conclusion: The findings suggest that hemiplegic patients can more stably and efficiently perform the STS movement with increased chair height and while they are bare-foot.

본 연구는 신경계 재활전문병원의 이탈환자에 대한 환경적 요인과 의료적 요인에 관해서 조사하는 것이다. 대상자는 107명의 입원환자를 대상으로 조사하였다. 수집된 자료는 SPSS Win 19.0을 이용하여 분석하였다. 그 결과 첫째, 일반적 병원선택에서는 추천이 35.5%, 환경적 불만족 요인에는 병원시설이 37.4%, 병원 선택인에는 지인이 23.4%로 장 높게 나타났다. 둘째, 전문성, 친절성 및 설명성에 대한 만족도 조사에서 만족도가 가장 낮은 그룹은 간병사 그룹이고 만족도가 가장 높은 그룹은 물리치료사와 작업치료사 그룹으로 나타났다. 셋째, 원무(행정)절차, 진료절차, 대기시간 및 의료비용에 관한 만족도는 모두 '보통'의 선택 안이 가장 높은 분포를 보였다. 결론적으로 환경적 불만족 요인에서 높은 비율을 차지한 병원시설은 신경계전문병원의 수가 적어서 환자의 밀집현상으로 인해 발생한 것으로 보여 환자이탈의 요소로 간주될 수 있고, 의료적 불만족 요인에서는 환자와 많은 시간을 할애하는 간병사(care worker)에 대한 만족도(전문성, 친절성, 설명성)가 가장 낮아서 환자 이탈의 중요한 요인이 됨을 알 수 있었다. 따라서 간병사에 대한 서비스 만족도와 불만족도에 미치는 요인을 조사하고 문제점을 해결하여 간병사의 서비스 질을 향상시킬 수 있는 방안을 모색해야 할 것으로 사료된다.

본 연구는 창원시 도시지역을 대상으로 다양한 물리적 환경요인과 복사에너지 간의 관계성을 분석함으로서 열쾌적성을 개선하기 위한 계획 방안을 마련하는데 목적이 있다. 물리적 환경요인은 건물의 배치형태를 고려한 Sky view factor(SVF)와 토지피복 및 토지이용유형을 고려하였고, 복사에너지는 여름철에 주간 및 야간으로 3일 동안 이동식으로 태양 및 지구복사에너지의 유입과 유출량을 측정하였다. SVF를 분석한 결과 주변에 건물이 거의 존재하지 않는 도시공원에서 높았고, 반면에 고층의 건물이 밀집된 고층아파트와 상업지역은 매우 낮은 수치를 보였다. 복사에너지는 주간시간은 지표면으로 유입되는 태양복사에너지가 약 $700W/m^2$로 가장 높았고, 야간시간에는 지구복사에너지의 유입과 유출만 있고, 그 양은 약 $450W/m^2$이였다. 지표면으로 유입되는 태양복사에너지는 건물이 밀집된 공간형태일수록 감소하는 경향을 보였고, 대기중으로 향하는 태양 및 지구복사에너지는 반사율과 방사율, 그리고 열용량과 같은 열적특성에 따른 영향이 큰 것으로 나타났다. 그러므로 도시지역의 열쾌적성을 개선하기 위해서는 건물이 밀집된 지역에 대해 배치형태를 조정하거나 벽면녹화를 조성하고, 지표면에 자연적 피복재질로 교체하는 계획방안이 필요할 것으로 판단된다.

The present study was conducted to analyze the causes of stress on the part of Korean radiological technologists depending on their working environments. For this purpose, 890 questionnaires were distributed to and collected from radiological technologists who were working at 44 general hospitals in 16 cities and provinces of Korea during the period from the mid July to the end of August 2003. The collected data were compared between regions, divided into the capital, metropolitan, medium and small cities, whose results are as follows: 1. As factors affecting working conditions, drinking was found to exert more influence on radiological technologists in small- and medium-sized cities, while loyalty to immediate seniors and organizations was the one producing greater influence on them in metropolitan cities than other cities. Overall, position, job satisfaction and physical condition seemed to have a great effect on them (p<0.001).2. In terms of factors related to their roles, job satisfaction and physical condition played in general a greater role for radiological technologists (p<0.001). Immediate seniors and behavioral conducts were also found to have a lot influence on them (p<0.01).3. As for job conflicts, the kind of medical institutions seemed to exercise a great deal of impact on radiological technologists (p<0.05), while colleagues, immediate seniors, job satisfaction and physical conditions also produced a lot of influence on them as a whole (p<0.001).4. Regarding job autonomy, radiological technologists were found to have been less influenced by position in metropolitan cities and by immediate seniors in the capital city (p<0.01). As a whole, however, age and job satisfaction acted as decisive factors of influence on them (p<0.001). 5. Among factors related to job burden, gender played a bigger role for radiological technologists in metropolitan cities as the kind of medical institutions did in small- and medium-sized cities. Centrally, job satisfaction and behavioral conducts exercised a great impact on them (p<0.001).6. Job stability seemed to be more immensely linked to gender and physical conditions in metropolitan cities whereas position did more in the capital city. In general, how ever, job satisfaction produced a far-reaching (p<0.001).

We aimed to study the structure of the zooplankton community in the Southern Sea of the Republic of Korea. Zooplankton samples were collected in February (winter), May (spring), August (summer), and November (autumn) of 2020. The zooplankton collected belonged to a total of 166 taxa and 12 phyla, including some unidentified individuals and those from upper taxa. The number of taxa collected were the highest in winter at 117, and the lowest in May at 93. The dominant taxa were Oikopleura spp. in the winter, Gastropoda larvae in the spring, and Paracalanus parvus s.l. in the summer and autumn. The community structure of the zooplankton was clearly distinguishable between the seasons. The mean density of zooplankton was the highest in autumn and the lowest in summer (576,039 and 313,000 individuals/1,000 m³, respectively). Based on the analysis of relationships between the density of the six major taxa and environmental factors, a significant correlation (P<0.05) between the four taxa and environmental factors was found. Therefore, in order to understand changes in the zooplankton community, quantitative and qualitative investigations of biological factors as well as physical factors should be conducted.

Before investigating the long-term variations in macrobenthic communities sampled in the Chokchon macrotidal flat in Inchon, Korea, from 1989 to 1996, we need to understand how environmental factors in the area vary. As potential governing agents of tidal flat communities, abiotic factors such as mean sea level, seawater, air temperature, and precipitation were considered. Data for these factors were collected at equal intervals from 1976 or 1980 to 1996, and were analyzed using a decomposition method. In this analysis, all the above variables showed strong seasonal nature, and yielded a significant trend and cyclical variation. Positive trends were seen in the seawater and air temperatures, and based upon this relationship, it was found that the biological sampling period of our program has been carried out during warmer periods in succession. This paper puts forth some hypotheses concerning the response of tidal flat macrobenthos communities to the changing environment including mild winters in succession.

It is difficult to estimate for deterioration of exterior wall by infrared thermography, because of amount of infrared-ray radiation effected by environmental factors such as temperature properties of materials, the outside air and the amount of solar radiation. Therefore we measured the distribution of temperature by times in the same reinforced-concrete structure in order to reduce problems, occasioned by environmental factors, then we analyzed physical influence factors of the infrared thermography. It is the aim of this study to suggest basic data with regard to method of estimation-system for deterioration of exterior wall in reinforced-concrete structures.

Besides empirical algorithms with the blue-green ratio, the algorithms based on fluorescence are also important and valid methods for retrieving chlorophyll-a concentration in the ocean waters, especially for Case II waters and the sea with algal blooming. This study reviews the history of initial cognitions, investigations and detailed approaches towards chlorophyll fluorescence, and then introduces the biological mechanism of fluorescence remote sensing and main spectral characteristics such as the positive correlation between fluorescence and chlorophyll concentration, the red shift phenomena. Meanwhile, there exist many influence factors that increase complexity of fluorescence remote sensing, such as fluorescence quantum yield, physiological status of various algae, substances with related optical property in the ocean, atmospheric absorption etc. Based on these cognitions, scientists have found two ways to calculate the amount of fluorescence detected by ocean color sensors: fluorescence line height and reflectance ratio. These two ways are currently the foundation for retrieval of chlorophyll-a concentration in the ocean. As the in-situ measurements and synchronous satellite data are continuously being accumulated, the fluorescence remote sensing of chlorophyll-a concentration in Case II waters should be recognized more thoroughly and new algorithms could be expected.
