본 연구는 MRI 검사로 인하여 방사선사가 노출되는 소음의 양을 평가하여 소음저감 시설의 필요성과 제도 마련을 제안하고자 하였다. 소음측정은 대전광역시 S 종합병원의 1.5 Tesla MRI 장비(7개 검사)와 3.0 Tesla MRI 장비(16개 검사)를 대상으로 하였고, 소음측정기는 SC-804를 사용하였다. 소음측정 거리는 MRI 검사실 방음문에서 검사자의 업무 위치까지 100cm 이며, 측정 높이는 업무 시 검사자의 귀 높이 100cm 이다. 검사별 소음측정은 각 검사의 시퀀스(Sequence)마다 발생되는 소음 수치를 관측하여 20초마다 기록하였고 검사별 3회씩 측정하여 평균값을 제시하였다. 연구결과 방사선사가 노출되는 소음의 최댓값은 73.3 dB(A)로 3.0 Tesla 장비에서 시행한 MRCP 검사, 검사별 평균소음의 최댓값은 66.9(3.1) dB(A)로 역시 3.0 Tesla 장비에서 시행한 Myelogram 검사이다. 장비별 평균소음은 3.0 Tesla 장비가 61.9(4.1) dB(A), 1.5 Tesla 장비가 52.0(3.1) dB(A)로 3.0 Tesla MRI 장비가 약 10 dB(A) 정도 높았다(p<0.001). 방사선사가 노출되는 소음의 양은 청력에 영향을 미치는 수준은 아니지만 비청력적영향이 발생할 수 있는 수준이다. 소음을 저감하기 위해 MRI 조정실 후면에 커튼을 설치하여 반사음을 제거할 수 있지만, 제도 마련이 선행되어야 할 것이다.

치과의사는 감염, 알레르기, 시력장애 등 다양한 직업적 위험에 노출되어 있으며, 그 중에서도 비교적 최근 들어 새롭게 제기된 문제가 청력손상이다. 치과 진료실에서 발생하는 소음이 작업장 소음 기준을 초과한다는 조사 결과가 발표된 바 있고, 특히 소아치과 의사는 각종 치과 소음에 더하여 어린이의 울음소리라는 부가적 소음원에도 일상적으로 노출되고 있다. 본 연구는 소아치과 의사에게 영향을 미칠 수 있는 소음 환경에 대해 조사하고, 이에 따른 청력 손상 가능성을 고찰해 볼 목적으로 시행되었다. 휴대용 소음계를 이용하여, 각종 치과용 기구, 어린이의 울음소리, 양자가 동시에 발생할 때의 소음 크기를 각각 측정하고, 소아치과 의사가 소음 환경에 노출되는 시간을 설문을 통해 조사하였다. 이 결과를 National Institute for Safety and Health(NIOSH) 및 Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA)의 소음 역치 기준, CRA News letter의 청력 손상을 유발하는 소음 기준과 각각 비교하였다. 그 결과, 소아치과 의사가 노출된 소음 환경은, 강도와 노출 시간을 고려했을 때 허용된 작업장 소음 기준을 초과하며, 어린이의 울음소리는 한 번의 노출로도 영구적 청력 손상을 야기할 수 있는 수준으로 나타났다. 따라서 일반 치과의사와 비교하여 소아치과 의사는 직업적 청력 손상의 위험성이 더 높으며, 이를 최소화하기 위한 적극적인 대책이 필요하다는 결론을 내릴 수 있었다.

순음청력검사기는 정확한 주파수와 음압을 갖는 순음과 차폐 음을 생성하여 출력할 수 있어야 한다. 이를 위해 일정한 기간마다 보정을 하는 것이 불가피하다. 그러나 수동 보정을 사용하는 일반 순음청력검사기의 음향 보정은 집중력이 필요할 뿐 아니라 시간이 많이 걸리는 단점이 있다. 반면, PC 기반 순음청력검사기의 경우 소프트웨어를 이용하여 자동으로 보정을 수행하는 것이 가능하다. 본 논문에서는 PC 기반 순음청력검사기의 자동 보정을 지원하기 위해 PC 사운드카드를 이용하여 구현한 음압측정기와 이를 이용한 순음청력검사기의 자동보정모듈을 기술한다. 자동 보정모듈을 이용하여 보정한 PC 기반 순음청력검사기를 국제표준기구가 제공하는 기준등가역치음압수준과의 적합 여부를 검증한다.

The environment in the ICU leads to negative changes in a patient's usual sleep pattern and so contributes negatively to the patient's health condition as compared to patients in general wards. Therefore, it is thought that an important nursing intervention would be to identify the relation between noise and sleep patterns which play an important role in illness recovery. The purpose of the present study was to explore the relationship between noise in the ICU and the sleep pattern of patients admitted to the ICU. A descriptive correlation design was used to examine the relationship. Thirty-four subjects were recruited from a Medical ICU (MICU), Surgical ICU (SICU) and Coronary Care Unit (CCU) at a large university hospital in Suwon. Data were collected from September 28 to October 31 in 1999. In the present study, noise was categorized into noise level and patients' perception of noise. The objective noise level was measured using the A-Weighted Sound Level Meter. The patients' preception of noise was measured using a self-reported questionnaire developed by the researcher. Sleep patterns in this study includes both quantity and quality of sleep. These were measured using open ended questionnaires and the 'Korean Sleep Scale A' developed by Oh, Song, Kim(1998). The data was analyzed using the SPSS-WIN to test the research question, Pearson product moment correlation coefficient was run. Ancillary analysis were conducted with demographic variables to determine their relation to the main study variables. For the ancillary analysis, t-test and one-way ANOVAs were performed. The results of the present study are summerized as follows : 1. The total mean of objective noise level (10pm-6am) was 56.2dB. The means for night time noise level in individual ICUs for the SICU, MICU and CCU, were 58.7dB, 58.6dB and 48.3dB, respectively. The total mean for patients' noise perception was 42.8 out of a maximum possible score of 76. For item means of noise perception, the one ranked highest was "conversations between doctors and nurses" (3.2). The one ranked lowest was "noise from the radio" (1.2). Regarding the degree of perception for each type of noise source, the one ranked highest was "equipment noise" (2.6), the second was "conversation between medical staff" (2.4), the third was "conversation between patients, caregivers and visitors" (2.3), and the one ranked lowest was "environment noise" (1.8). 2. Looking at quantity of sleep of ICU patients, the mean nocturnal sleep time was found to be 4.9 hours. The total mean of sleep quality for ICU patients was 21.0 out of a maximum possible score of 40. 3. The relationship between perception of noise and quantity of sleep was statistically significant(r= - .41, p<.05). The relationship between perception of noise and quality of sleep was also statistically significant(r= - .47, p<.01). The results of the study indicate that personal perception of noise is related to sleep patterns. Therefore, it is suggested that nursing interventions be developed to reduce the degree of personal perception of noise and, thus, decrease sleep pattern disturbances in patients in the ICU.

A water balance analysis was performed for a paddy field neighboring the Dongchang stream, downstream of the Unmun reservoir, which is constructed for the urban water supply. Daily rainfall data were collected and irrigation water flow rate, drainage flow rate, evaportranspiration, infiltration, and piezometeric head were measured in the field. The flow rates were continuously observed by water level logger during the growing season. The evaportranspiration and the infiltration were measured by N-type depletion meter and cylindrical infiltrometer, respectively. PVC pipes with 12mm diameter were used for piezometric head measurement. Total Irrigation and drainage flows were 3,608mm and 1,170mm in 1999, and 3,971mm and 1,548mm in 2000, respectively. The mean and range of the daily infiltration rate were 4.4mm/d and 3.4mm/d to 5.5mm/d in 1999 and 5.1mm/d and 4.1mm/d to 6.5mm/d in 2000, respectively. The net ground water flow including the change of soil water storage was 2,855mm in 1999 and 2,540mm in 2000. The evapotranspiration was 458.3mm in 1999 and 553.5mm in 2000. The range of daily evapotranspiration rate was from 1.6 to 8.7mm/d. The return flow ratio was about 32% in 1999 and 39% in 2000 and three year average was 35% including previous study in 1997. The amount of irrigation water was much higher than design standards or references in this study, This was caused by the inadequate water management practice in the area where water was oversupplied on farmers’ request rather than following sound water management principles.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to investigate if the 7-item Berg balance scale (BBS) 3-point, which is a short form of the BBS (SFBBS), has compatible psychometric properties in comparison with the original BBS, and also to study the concurrent validity using a 10-meter walk test (10mWT) and a timed up and go test (TUG), which are widely used with SFBBS in clinical settings. Methods: A total of 255 patients who had experienced stroke participated in this cross-sectional study. We used results obtained from 188 patients who completed both 10mWT and TUG. The three levels in the center of the BBS were collapsed to a single level (i.e.,0-2-4) to form the SFBBS. The concurrent validity was assessed by computing the Spearman coefficients for correlation among outcome measures and in between each outcome measure and the SFBBS. As there were four outcomes, the corrected p-value for significant correlation was 0.013 (0.05/4). Results: Spearman coefficients for correlations and evaluation instruments for concurrent validity revealed significantly high validity for both of SFBBS and BBS (r=0.944). 10mWT and TUG were -0.749 and -0.770 respectively, which are in the high margin and are statistically significant (p>0.000). Conclusion: SFBBS has sound psychometric properties for evaluating patients with stroke. Thus, we recommend the use of SFBBS in both clinical and research settings.

The Dangri Crushed Stone Quarry is located in Dangridong, Busan City, and around the estuary of the Nagdong River. The quarry is considered to be a very promised one in the urban area from the standpoints of the assessment of the aggregate rank, the environmental impacts and the transportation distance. The crushed stones for aggregate of the quarry marks the higher rank in the gravity, the absorption ratio, the abrasion ratio, and the stability in comparison with the JISA 5005. The basement vibrations of the residential section in the vicinity of the quarry, which are arised by the millisecond blasting at the quarry site using the gelatin dynamites less than 39kg in weight, are measured to assess the vibration nuisance. The values of acceleration and the magnitudes are less than eight gals and O on the Richter scale respectively, the vibration nuisance thus can be ignored in such scales of the experiments. The traffic vibrations of the residential section are slightly susceptible. In the experiments, the traffic vibrations appears to be sensibler to the basement than the explosion vibration. The explosion noises in the experiments are not checked not only on the RION Sound Level Meter but also to our ears. The values of traffic noises also are in the safety values of the noise nuisance. The crush dust suspends in the air toward the upper valley in the opposite side of the residential area because of the influences of the sea breeze and the valley wind in the daytime, and the monsoon and the topographic disposition. the dust nuisance thus would not be remained in problem. The quarry is operated in the daytime only. The traffic dust in the residential area will be reduced by the faultless pavement and the careful driving. The elaborate survey on the ridges and peaks surrounded the quarry is recommended to prevent in advance the accidents of the rock slide. Moreover, it is required to make an advisory committee to develop the industry and to save the techniques. The most important matter is the accomodation between the attitude of the enterprising man for the social responsibility to the public nuisance and the cooperative spirit of the inhabitants for the industry.

PURPOSE: This study examined the effects of action observational training with acoustic stimulation (AOTA) on the balance and gait ability in stroke patients. METHODS: Forty-five chronic stroke patients were divided into three groups. The AOTA group (n = 15) received training via a video that showed a normal gait with the sound of footsteps. The action observation training (AOT) group (n = 15) received AOT without acoustic stimulation. The control group (n = 15) received physical training. Each intervention was applied once per day, three times per week for six weeks. The participants in the AOTA and AOT groups had five minutes of AOT. The participants in the all group had 20 minutes of physical training. All participants were measured using the Berg Balance Scale, the Timed Up and Go Test, the Functional Reaching Test, 10 Meter Walk Test, six Minute Walk Test, and Dynamic Gait Index. The collected data were analyzed using SPSS version 20.0 for Windows. The between- and within-group comparisons were analyzed using the one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) test and a paired t-test, respectively. For all statistical analyses, the significance level was set to .05. RESULTS: The one-way ANOVA test identified significant differences among the measurement results of the three groups (p < .05). Post hoc analyses indicated the AOTA group to undergo more significant balance and gait changes than the control group (p < .05). CONCLUSION: The gait and balance abilities could be improved effectively for patients with stroke when action observation training and acoustic stimulation were applied simultaneously.
