Purpose: The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of nursing record education on the knowledge and performance of nursing record of nurses at small- and medium-sized hospitals. Methods: The participants were 62 nurses working in two small- and medium-sized hospitals. Thirty-two nurses comprised the experimental group, and 30 nurses comprised the control group. Nursing record education was provided for the experimental group. Data were analyzed by x²-test and t-test analysis using the IBM SPSS statistics 25.0 Program. Results: After education, the knowledge (t=2.43, p=.019), performance (t=2.19, p=.033) and behavior scores (t=2.42, p=.018) on nursing record were significantly higher in the experimental group than in the control group. Based on this result, nursing record education is an effective intervention to improve nurses' knowledge and performance in writing nursing records in small- and medium-sized hospitals. Conclusion: We suggest the development of a systematic and standardized education program on nursing record including its legal aspects, for nurses in small- and medium-sized hospitals. The results of this study can be used as basic data for developing a nursing record education program for small- and medium-sized hospitals.

This paper deals with the numbers of vertebrae, gill rakers and relative growth of the Pacific saury, Cololabis saira along the eastern coast of Korea in May, July and December 1970. About 90 percent of the total fish population possessed 64-66 vertebrae with the mean of 64.80 and the mode of 65. The number of gill rakers varied from 33 to 44 in December with the mean of 37.08. With regard to the number of vertebrae and gill rakers of the medium (26.0-28.0 cm in fork length) and large (30.0-31.0 cm in fork length) sized groups, there are similarities between the northbound modium sized group and the southbound large sized one, and also between the southbound medium and southbound large sized groups. Although no correlation was found between the numbers of vertebrae and gill rakers, in December the number of vertebrae of the large sized group exceeded that of the medium sized group, and on the other hand the number of gill rakers of the large sized group was fewer than that of the meduim sized one. There was a tendency of decreasing in ratio of the head length to the fork length as the latter increased, The relationships between the fork length and the head length varied depending on the northbound and southbound migration of the fish. The same tendency was also seen in the relationship between the fork length and the body weight. The body weight increased from July to December (from medium to largo sized group) showed more than twice than that from December to the following July (from medium to large sized group). The coefficient of fatness remained constant in December, but a distinct variation was found between the medium and large sized groups in July, corresponding to the spawning sea-son of the fish. Relatively higher coefficient was found in December as compared to that found in July.

Plant Configuration Management(CM) is an activity to maintain consistency of design requirements, physical configuration, facility configuration information throughout the life cycle of the plant by systematically managing changes that occur during the plant design and operation process. Conformity between information must be ensured not only in the design stage, but also in the case of design changes in the operation and maintenance stages, and thus a computer system capable of efficiently managing them is required. In particular, in consideration of an application to small and medium-sized domestic plants, a computer system that can support configuration management at a low cost is needed. Accordingly, in this study, a configuration management system has been developed to support the management of plant design information and change procedures in the operation stage of small and medium-sized plants. Here, a case for quantitatively evaluating the effectiveness of the developed system is described.

The Purpose of this study is to analyze the financial statements of ocean-going shipping companies that have experienced financial difficulties since the global financial crisis. Specifically, the study conducts comparing major firm with small and medium-sized firm from fianancial point of view, analyzes the different trends of two groups. As a result, this paper finds the different characteristics between two groups. There were known many financial difficulties in ocean-going shipping companies, but this is not applied to small and medium-sized firm group. Small and medium-sized firm group grew soundly and slowly during research period. But major firm group experienced the deficit and their management condition has deteriorated considerably during that period. To cope with this difficulties, major firm group should take self-effort to improve fianacial structure and establish the risk management system.

The filtration rate and oxygen consumption of Anadara granosa bisenensis were measured at 4 different temperature (10$^{\circ}C$, 15$^{\circ}C$, 20$^{\circ}C$, and 25$^{\circ}C$) and 4 different salinity levels (20, 25, 35, and 40 psu), using an direct method under laboratory conditions. The samples were divided into two groups: a large-sized group (shell length: 34.58 ${\pm}$ 2.23 mm, body weight: 12.43 ${\pm}$ 0.44 g) and a small-sized group (shell length: 20.60 ${\pm}$ 0.85 mm, body weight: 4.41 ${\pm}$ 2.30 g). Filtration rate and oxygen consumption increased with the increase of various temperatures and salinity levels. Also, the filtration rate and oxygen consumption of the small-sized group were higher than those of the large-sized group. These results indicate that the filtration rate and oxygen consumption of Anadara granosa bisenensis depends on environmental conditions, especially on water temperature and salinity.

In group location management, when a transportation system(TS) with multiple mobile subscribers(MSs) changes location area(LA), location management is performed by group location registration by TS, instead of individual location registrations by MSs. In previous works, although it is assumed that LA in group location management is the same as that in individual location management, it is not appropriate to assume the same sized LAs since MSs in a TS have different characteristics from MSs which are not in a TS from the aspect of the speed and aggregate call arrival rates. Thus, in this paper, we propose an efficient location management scheme based on individual and group location managements with different sized LAs, and the performance of the proposed scheme is analyzed from the aspect of signaling cost at the wireless interface. Results reveal that the proposed scheme outperforms the conventional scheme by selecting an appropriate sized LA for group location management.

Background: Group occupational health program by non-for-profit agency, started five years ago, for management of health problems in small and medium sized industries, is one of the measures to cope with limited human and financial resources in occupational health. The program has been rapidly expanding to include 54 participating institutions, private as well as public, all over the country. In spite of its potential impact on health of employees and practice of occupational health in small and medium sized industries, comprehensive evaluation in terms of quality has not been tried. Objectives : The aim of this study are to develop and apply criteria to assess quality of newly developed Korean group occupational health program. Methods : By defining occupational health services, in particular for small and medium sized industries, as one of the primary health care, we included followings as core elements of sound occupational health program; accessibility, continuity, intersectoral collaboration, comprehensiveness, community participation, technical quality, adequacy, focus on preventive services, acceptability, and workers' satisfaction. Again we divided each elements into five major components of national health system infrastructures developed by World Health Organization; development of health resources organized arrangement or resources, delivery of health care, economic support, and management. In turn, we categorized each component into input, process and outcome aspects. After discussions in expert panel, several criteria were selected for evaluation of program. The criteria were modified according to each group of interviewees. Results: We developed five sets of questionnaire that evaluate the quality of 'Group occupational health program'. Conclusion : The refining of the measurement tool and the continuing evaluation process for the 'Group occupational health institute' should be done further.

Purpose: This paper studies the influence of the case-management program on the change of blood sugar, lifestyle, and knowledge level of diabetes mellitus (DM) for medium-sized-enterprise employees suffering from DM. Method: Subjects, divided into experimental and control groups, are 59 workers with FBS higher than 126mg/$d{\ell}$ or under DM medication treatment in the medium-sized enterprises, being managed by two distinct university hospital group occupational health management service teams. The case management program for DM patients consists of 6 different processes in which each subject is treated. Result: FBS decreased in the experimental group after the program, while that of the control group increased significantly. In the experimental group, the amount of smoking, the frequency of drinking and the amount of drinking per week decreased. Also, the knowledge level for DM and the change of nutrition management showed significant increase. In the control group, the amount of smoking increased and the frequency of drinking, the amount of drinking and nutrition level did not change significantly. And the knowledge level for DM decreased. Conclusion: We expect that taking this case management program for DM management may significantly improve diabetic patients' overall health.
