In amorphous or microcrystalline thin-film silicon solar cells, p-i-n structure is used instead of p/n junction structure as in wafer-based Si solar cells. Hence, these p-i-n structured solar cells inevitably consist of many interfaces and the cell efficiency critically depends on the effective control of these interfaces. In this study, in-situ plasma treatment process of the interfaces was developed to improve the efficiency of a-Si:H solar cell. The p-i-n cell was deposited using a single-chamber VHF-PECVD system, which was driven by a pulsed-RF generator at 80 MHz. In order to solve the cross-contamination problem of p-i layer, high RF power was applied without supplying SiH4 gas after p-layer deposition, which effectively cleaned B contamination inside chamber wall from p-layer deposition. In addition to the p-i interface control, various interface control techniques such as thin layer of TiO2 deposition to prevent H2 plasma reduction of FTO layer, multiple applications of thin i-layer deposition and H2 plasma treatment, H2 plasma treatment of i-layer prior to n-layer deposition, etc. were developed. In order to reduce the reflection at the air-glass interface, anti-reflective SiO2 coating was also adopted. The initial solar cell efficiency over 11% could be achieved for test cell area of 0.2 $cm^2$.

Objective: To evaluate urologist satisfaction on structured prostate MRI reports, including report with tumor-node-metastasis (TNM) staging (report B) and with Prostate Imaging Reporting and Data System (PI-RADS) score with/without TNM staging (report C, report with PI-RADS score only [report C-a] and report with PI-RADS score and TNM staging [C-b]) compared with conventional free-text report (report A). Materials and Methods: This was a prospective comparative study. Altogether, 3015 prostate MRI reports including reports A, B, C-a, and C-b were rated by 13 urologists using a 5-point Likert Scale. A questionnaire was used to assess urologist satisfaction based on the following parameters: correctness, practicality, and urologist subjectivity. Kruskal-Wallis H-test followed by Nemenyi test was used to compare urologists' satisfaction parameters for each report type. The rate of urologist-radiologist recalls for each report type was calculated. Results: Reports B and C including its subtypes had higher ratings of satisfaction than report A for overall satisfaction degree, and parameters of correctness, practicality, and subjectivity (p < 0.05). There was a significant difference between report B and C (p < 0.05) in practicality score, but no statistical difference was found in overall satisfaction degree, and correctness and subjectivity scores (p > 0.05). Compared with report C-b (p > 0.05), report B and C-a (p < 0.05) showed a significant difference in overall satisfaction degree and parameters of practicality and subjectivity. In terms of correctness score, neither report C-a nor C-b had a significant difference with report B (p > 0.05). No statistical difference was found between report C-a and C-b in overall satisfaction degree and all three parameters (p > 0.05). The rate of urologist-radiologist recalls for reports A, B, C-a and C-b were 29.1%, 10.8%, 18.1% and 11.2%, respectively. Conclusion: Structured reports, either using TNM or PI-RADS are highly preferred over conventional free-text reports and lead to fewer report-related post-hoc inquiries from urologists.

Objective: This study aimed to identify the relationship between bovine brucellosis prevalence, farmers' knowledge, attitude, practice (KAP), and social factors on migratory draft cattle and smallholder dairy farms in the central dry zone of Myanmar. Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted on 54 migratory and 38 dairy cattle farms between August 2020 and February 2021. A structured questionnaire was used to identify farmers' behaviors. Bulk milk was sampled and tested using indirect enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (I-ELISA). STATA 17 was used for all the analyses. Results: Migratory cattle farms had a higher farm level brucellosis prevalence (14.8%) than dairy farms (2.6%; χ² = 3.75; df = 1; p = 0.05). Only 2.8% of the farmers had knowledge about brucellosis, while 39.1% and 41.6% had attitudes and farm practices with respect to brucellosis, respectively in the study area. Socio-economic attribute of training in animal husbandry (p<0.01), raising system (p<0.01), practice of separating the aborted cow (p<0.01) were negatively associated to brucellosis. The overall farm level brucellosis prevalence was strongly associated with cattle herd size (p = 0.01), free movement grazing practices (p<0.01), practice of self-removal of placental debris without using personal protective equipment (p<0.01) and farmers' attitudes towards eating cow placenta debris (p<0.01). Conclusion: Farmers had little knowledge of brucellosis. Attitudes and practices differed significantly between migratory and dairy farmers. Training and extension programs are necessary to make farmers aware of their KAP situation since livestock migration and the custom of eating cow placental debris contribute to the spread of brucellosis. Persistent efforts are required to reduce the adverse effects of brucellosis. Therefore, the study suggests that a feasible control intervention and public awareness campaigns need to be conducted regarding methods of preventing human exposure to brucellosis.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to explore the relationships among workplace bullying, organizational commitment, and turnover intention of nurses. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire from nurses at five public hospitals (N=190). Results: The experience of bullying was 31.29 points (range 16-64) on average: Work-related bullying was the highest, followed by verbal/non verbal bullying and external threats. The consequences of bullying were 30.54 points (range 13-52) on average: The physical/psychological withdrawal was the highest, followed by increasing distrust and the poor quality of patient care. The experiences of bullying had positive correlations with the consequences of bullying (r=.55, p<.001) and the turnover intention (r=.27, p<.001), and had a negative correlation with organizational commitment (r=-.28, p<.001). The consequences of bullying had a positive correlation with the turnover intention (r=.52, p<.001), and had a negative correlation with organizational commitment (r=-.49, p<.001). Organizational commitment showed a negative correlation with the turnover intention (r=.63, p<.001). Conclusion: The findings of this study suggests the needs of a regular monitoring system and organizational management for workplace bullying, which helps nurses to commit to their organization and to be retained in a workplace.

Health care for women regularly focuses on the reproductive system to the exclusion of other health needs. The lack of research focusing on women's common health issues is a major problem to the enhanced optimal level of women's health. Health care providers have to recognize biological and social differences between men and women. This study was conducted to identify the baseline data and their correlation of health perception, health behavior, and health status of adult women for developing nursing intervention. The study was a descriptive correlational design. A convenient sampling method was used for collecting data from 103 adult women, over 18 years of age, during the period from Sep 1 to Nov 30, 2001. The study's subjects were interviewed using a structured questionnaire. The instruments for this study were the health perception scale modified by Lee(1985) based on the tool developed by Ware(1977) and Jenkins (1966), and the health behavior scale by Ko, Kumja(1987). Health status was measured by the short form Cornell Medical Index(CMI) modified by Nam, Hochang(1965). The data were analyzed SPSS PC+, by frequency, mean, t-test, ANOVA, and Pearson correlation coefficients. Also, the Duncan test was utilized for a post hoc test of ANOVA. The results of this study are as follows: 1. The mean score for health perception was 3.02(S.D=0.39) on a 5 point scale. 2. The mean score for health behavior was 3.08(S.D=0.43) on a 5 point scale. 3. The mean score for health status was 18.54 on 58 items. The mean score for physical symptoms of a subscale of health status was 11.30 on 36 items and the mean score for psychological symptoms was 7.37 on 22 items. 4. The relationship of sociodemographic variables to health perception. health behavior, and health status of women.: 1) There were significant differences in the scores of health perception by disease experience(t=-3.37, p=0.00). 2) There were significant differences in the scores of health behavior by age(F=10.52, p=0.00), height(F=4.73, p=0.01), marital status(t=-5.56, p=0.00), educational background(t=2.90, p=0.00), and drinking or non-drinking(t=2.17, p=0.03). 3) There were significant differences in the scores of health status by educational background(t=2.28, p=0.02) and disease experience(t=2.61, p=0.01). 5. Health perception showed significant positive correlation with health behavior(r=0.39, p=0.00). Health perception showed significant negative correlation with health status(r=-0.44, p=0.00), that is, the more women perceived health, the less she complained about unhealthy symptoms. Health behavior had no significant correlation with health status but showed a positive correlation with psychological symptoms of a subscale of health status(r=-0.19, p=0.05). Many of the leading causes of disease are preventable through changes in health perception and behavior. The need to increase individual awareness of relationships among health perception, health behavior, and health status and to enhance knowledge regarding the long-term effects of positive health behaviors, is an important nursing strategy for women's health promotion.

Objective : Several reports have found abnormal levels of androgen in post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) patients. This abnormality in androgen is hypothesized to due to chronic psychological stress effects on the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal (HPG) system. The present study was conducted to estimate serum testosterone levels in PTSD patients in comparison with normal subjects. Methods : Seventy-five male Korean veterans of the Vietnam War volunteered for the study, of which eleven were excluded because of incomplete psychological assessment. To measure basal serum testosterone, blood samples were collected between 8.00 and 9.30 a.m. The clinician administered PTSD scale (CAPS), the structured clinical interview for DSM-IV (SCID), Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale (HAM-A), Hamilton Rating Scale for Depression (HAM-D), Mini International Neuropsychiatric Interview Plus (Korean version of MINI-Plus), CES-K (Korean version of combat exposure scale). Results : The serum testosterone level of PTSD patients ($5.4{\pm}2.5ng/mL$) was higher than that of a control group ($3.1{\pm}1.7ng/mL$, p<0.001). Testosterone levels were significantly correlated with CAPS (r=.38, p<.01), HAM-A (r=.35, p<.01) and HAM-D (r=.28, p<.01) in all subjects. Conclusion : The results of the present study suggest that chronic psychological stress affects the HPG system.

기능성 지방산인 CLnA를 다량 함유하고 있는 석류 종자유로부터 합성된 가수분해물과 고체지인 팜 스테아린을 기질로 사용하여 Lipozyme TL IM 효소를 촉매로 하여, 기능성 고체지들을 무용매 반응(NH-SL)과 n-hexane 반응(H-SL)조건에서 합성하였다. 합성은 기질 비율 1:6 몰(w/w, PS:HPSO)로, 각 12, 24, 72 hr 동안 반응하여 이루어졌다. 합성 후 반응물은 탈산과정을 수행한 후 각 기능성 고체지들의 이화학적 특성을 살펴보았다. 총 지방산 조성분석결과, 반응시간이 증가함에 따라 NH-SL에서 CLnA의 함량은 34.38%, 37.68%, 40.63%의 함량으로 유의적 차이를 보이며 증가하는 경향을 나타내었다(p<0.05). H-SL에서 CLnA의 함량은 36.81%, 41.19%, 45.83%으로 유의적 차이를 보이며 증가하였다(p<0.05). TAG 조성분석 결과, 기능성 재구성지질들(NH-SL, H-SL)에는 LnLnLn(PN=36), LnLnL(PN=38), LnLL과 LnLnP(PN=40), LLL(PN=42), PLP(PN=46), OOLn과 PLO, POP, PPS(PN=48), LOO, POS(PN=50) 등으로 구성되어 있었다. 반응시간이 길어짐에 따라 NH-SL의 경우 LnLnLn의 함량이 1.63%에서 11.54%로 증가하였고, H-SL의 경우 5.89%에서 18.45%로 증가하였다. 또한 주된 TAG 조성인 LnLnP의 경우 각각 23.15~33.77%(NH-SL)와 28.76~36.44%(H-SL)으로 높은 함량을 나타내었다. 합성한 석류종자유 가수분해물의 산가는 200.46이었으며, 합성 후 탈산한 기능성 고체지들의 산가는 1.05~1.41로 낮았다. 또한 불포화도를 나타내는 요오드가 측정결과, 무용매 반응과 용매 반응 모두에서 반응시간이 길어짐에 따라 요오드가가 점차로 증가하였다. 이러한 결과는 반응시간이 길어짐에 따라 CLnA의 함량이 높아졌기 때문에 IV가 점차로 높아지는 결과를 얻은 것으로 사료된다. 기능성 고체지들의 total tocopherol 함량 측정결과, 반응시간이 길어짐에 따라 NH-SL의 경우 3.37~2.13 mg/100 g으로 다소 감소하였으며, H-SL의 경우 3.89~2.51 mg/100 g으로 감소하는 경향을 나타내었다. 또한, 기능성 고체지들의 SFI 측정결과, H-SL의 경우 $10^{\circ}C$에서 NH-SL보다 고체지 함량이 낮았으며, $25^{\circ}C$에서는 거의 액체 상태를 유지하였다. 이는 융점이 낮으며 불포화지방산인 CLnA의 함량이 비교적 높았기 때문인 것으로 사료된다. 따라서 마가린과 같은 적절한 spreadability를 부여하기 위해서는 무용매 반응(NH-SL)에서 12 hr과 24 hr 반응을 통하여 생성된 기능성 고체지들이 적합할 것으로 예측되었다. 72 hr 동안 반응하여 생성된 기능성 고체지들(NH-SL, H-SL)의 경우, $3.86{\AA}$에서 낮은 강도를 나타내어, 주로 ${\beta}$'의 결정형을 이루고 있음을 확인하였다.

This study aims to determine the changes in health beliefs and practices of dental hygienists on infection control after having received special training on that subject. The study population consisted of dental hygienists working at the dental institutions located in Seoul and Gyeonggi areas. The intervention group and the control group each had randomly assigned 26 dental hygienists. The intervention group received training courses on infection control once a week for 3 hours, for a total of 4 training sessions. We used a survey tool to find the changes between the two groups regarding their health beliefs and practices on infection control measures. The survey was conducted prior to the training sessions, 3 months and 2 weeks after the training. The study results revealed statistically significant increases in perceived sensitivity, perceived seriousness, and perceived benefits after the training courses in the intervention group (p<0.05). A statistically significant decrease in perceived barriers was also noted in the intervention group (p<0.05). Additionally, there was a statistically significant increase in the practice of infection control in the intervention group as compared to the control group (p<0.05). Therefore, we conclude that infection control training is crucial in bringing about positive changes to the health beliefs of dental hygienists, and a structured system is necessary for continuous infection management along with training in order to improve infection control practices.
