  • There has been a claim that Interaction between the cerebral hemispheres could reduce the effect interfering information (Weissman & Banich, 1999). We ran three experiments to show that between-hemisphere separation of target and distractor could be more effective for reducing interference than Interaction between the hemispheres. In experiment 1, a colored box and a rotor name were presented to a single or to separate hemispheres. In experiment 2 and 3, a colored circle (distractor) was presented along with a colored box and a color name which was always printed in black. In experiment 3, a peripheral cue was presented either to the target location(66.7%) or to the distractor location(33.3%) Immediately before the presentation of stimuli. In all experiments, the participants were asked to deride whether the moaning of the color matched the rotor of the box, Ignoring the printed rotor of the word(Exp. 1), or the color of the circle(Exp. 2 & 3). There were three renditions of distractor (congruent, incongruent, and neutral) and two conditions of matching (between- and within-hemisphere matching). If interhemispheric interaction were effective for interference reduction, there should be a decrease in the interference in the between-hemisphere compared to the within-hemisphere matching condition. The results showed that there was no difference in the interference between the two matching conditions in Exp 1. In Exp 2 and in the target-cue renditions of Exp. 3, the amount of interference in the between-hemisphere condition was greater than that in the within-hemisphere condition. These findings are consistent with what we have previously reported (Sohn et al., 1996, Sohn & Lee, 2003). However, when the distractor was precued in Exp. 3, the amount of interference did not differ between the two marching conditions. These results suggest that between-hemisphere separation of target and distractor can be more effective for reducing response interference than interhemispheric communication. It implies a possible role of an interhemispheric shielding mechanism (Merola & Liederman, 1985) to prevent the transfer of task-irrelevant, harmful information across the hemispheres.

  • 본 연구에서는 한국어의 사·피동문을 실어증 환자가 처리하는 양상에 대하여 살펴보았다. 한국어의 사·피동문은 용언에 파생접사가 붙어 이루어지는 경우와 '-게 하다'나 '-어 지다'와 같이 구문 변형으로 하여, 실어증 환자에게 실험을 하였다. 실험에 참여한 환자는 명칭성 실어증 환자, 이해성 실어증 환자, 표현성 실어증 환자, 전반성 실어증 환자로 구성되어 있다. 본 실험에서는 단어 채워 넣기 과제(word completion task)를 사용하였다. 명칭성 실어증 환자의 경우 피동에서는 처리 오류를 보이는 반면, 사동에는 아무런 문제도 보이지 않았다. 표현성 실어증 환자의 경우, <피동-비변형>에서 오류를 많이 보였다. 이를 통해 한국어의 사·피동은 영어와 달리 통사상의 문제가 아니라는 결론을 내릴 수 있다. 즉 이미 사·피동 접사에 의해 파생된 단어가 어휘부에 저장되어 있고, 각 단어의 논항 정보에 따라 문장이 생성되는 것이다. 표현성 실어증 환자가 피동의 비변형에서 지배적인 오류를 보이는 것은 피동의 비변형이 타동사로서 변형인 피동형에 비해 하나의 논항을 더 취하기 때문이다. 이해성 실어증 환자의 경우 사·피동 생성에 별 어려움을 보이지 않았다. 이는 이해성 실어증 환자가 개별 어휘의 논항 정보에 손실을 적게 입고 있음을 시사하는 결과이다. 본 연구에서는 서로 다른 유형을 보이는 환자들을 대상으로 한국어의 사·피동의 처리양상을 대조한 결과, 첫재 사·피동은 서로 다른 통사, 의미상의 처리 양상을 보이고 있고, 둘째 파생접사가 결합된 형태로 어휘부에 저장되어 있는 개별 사·피동사에 의해 형성되는 것임을 확인하였다.d CO2 quantity causes flame temperature to fall since at high strain retes diluent effect is prevailing and at low strain rates the products inhibits chain branching. It is also found that the contribution of NO production by N2O and NO2 mechanisms are negligible and that thermal mechanism is concentrate on only the reaction zone.

  • A buffer is the major component of a high level radioactive waste repository. Due to their thermal conductivity and low permeability, bentonites have been considered as a key component of a buffer system in most countries. The deep geological condition generates ground water inflow and results in swelling pressure in the buffer and backfill. Investigation of swelling pressure of bentonite buffer is an important task for the safe disposal system. The swelling pressure that can be critical is affected by mechanical and hydro properties of the system. Therefore, in this study, a sensitivity analysis was conducted to examine the effect of hydro-mechanical (HM) behaviors in the MX-80 bentonite. Based on the results of the swelling pressure generation with HM model parameters, a coupled HM analysis of an unsaturated buffer and backfill in a deep geological repository was also carried out to investigate the major factor of the swelling pressure generation.

  • Benzidine Industry in Korea has started after Japan has banned its production in early 1970's, and it has been in operation in Korea for over 20 years. However, it is not known yet whether any bladder cancer has developed from benzidine exposure. This study was done to screen benzidine-exposed workers for bladder cancer, and to examine the feasibility of employing screening test at the workplace. All the workplaces that manufacture or use benzidine for more than 20 years in Korea have been covered in this study, and they include 2 benzidine manufacturing factories, 5 benzidine using factories, as well as 2 benzidine free factories as an outside control. In total, 516 workers were screened with urine stick test and urine cytology test for the evidence of hematuria and abnormal urothelial cells. Each worker was also asked about risk factors and symptoms of bladder cancer including past medical history, smoking, medication and occupational history Benzidine in the air was measured by personal and area sampling. Out of 516 screened workers, 84(16.3%) workers showed positive hematuria in urine stick test, and 7(1.4%) workers showed degenerative cells in urine cytology tests. Those workers with abnormal urine test results who have been exposed to benzidine fo more than 10 years were further screened, and, in total, 23 workers were examined with intra-venous pyelography and cystoscopy. None of those screened had any evidence of bladder cancer When workers with only past hematuria history were included in the positive hematuria group, 96(18.5%) had positive hematuria. On the multiple logistic regression analysis, positive hematuria was significantly associated with benzidine exposure, history of other occupations with elevated bladder cancer risk, pyuria and glycosuria. The association got stronger as direct benzidine exposure was accounted through individual task analysis, and as exposure duration was accounted with tenure analysis. For those with benzidine exposure with more than 10 years of tenure, the odds of having positive hematuria was elevated 2.14(95%C.I is 1.08 to 4.25) times more than for those without exposure. Even though bladder cancer was not detected for several limitations including short observation period, majority of studied workers with short latency, healthy worker effect, and low sensitivity of single screening test in a cross-sectional study, the study results suggest that hematuria screening is a feasible and very useful test for bladder cancer screening among benzidine exposed workers.

  • Disposal of food garbage in most large cities is very troublesome task. To date, microbiological treatment has been received an attention as a garbage decomposition process. In this study, the inoculation effect of some cellulase, amylase and protease-producing bacteria and photosynthetic bacteria on food garbage treatment was examined. They were added into a treatment reactor specially designed in this study together with food garbage and incubated in various conditions for 15 days and the removals of food garbage and foul smell produced during the treatment were analyzed. Average decomposition percentages of the inoculated food garbage in treatment reactor were 11 and 18.8% under intermittent aeration (once in a day) and continuous aeration conditions (2 L/min), respectively, and these were higher than removal percentages in the corresponding uninoculated reactors,3.4 and 13.8%. Optimal pH and temperature for food garbage decomposition by inoculated bacteria were pH 7.0 and $30^{\circ}C$. Maximal decomposition percentage in the inoculated food garbage was 35% under the optimal condition (pH 7, $30^{\circ}C$, and continuous aeration). The malodor compounds generated from food garbage treatment such as complex foul smell and sulfur compounds were effectively reduced about 84% and 25.5%, respectively, with a biofilter composed of purple nonsulfur bacteria trapped in sponge. This decomposing capability of food garbage by these bacteria can be utilized for the rapid and efficient treatment of food garbage.

  • 형태소를 공유하고 있는 어휘가 심성 어휘집(mental lexicon)에 어떻게 저장되어 있고 어떻게 어휘 접근되는지에 관하여 여러 설명이 제기되었다 첫 번째 가설은 형태소 공유 어휘는 심성 어휘집에 모두 같은 어근 혹은 어간을 중심으로 저장되어 있다는 것이다. 두 번째 가설은 어간이나 어근으로의 분석을 통해 활용된 단어를 이해하는 것이 아니라 일단 활용된 형태의 어휘를 심성 어휘집에서 찾고, 만일 해당되는 것이 발견되면, 그 활용된 어절의 이해가 끝나게 되고, 만일에 해당되는 것이 심성 어휘집에 존재하지 않는 경우에만 부수적인 과정으로 구성 형태소로의 분석이 이루어진다는 것이다. 세 번째 가설은 어휘의 품사, 어휘의 빈도, 형태소 활용의 규칙성 등에 따라 구성 형태소로의 분석을 통해 활용된 단어를 이해하거나 아니면 활용된 어휘의 직접적인 접근을 통해 활용된 단어를 이해한다는 것이다. 본 연구에서는 이 세 종류의 가설 중에 어느 가설이 옳은 것인지를 조사하기 위해, "먹은" 흑은 "쥐어"와 같은 한국어 어절을 이용하여 형태소 표상 양식과 이해 과정을 다루었다. 본 연구의 목적을 위해 점화 어휘 판단 과제(primed-lexical decision task)를 사용하였다. 실험 1은 "먹은"처럼 동사 "먹다"로도 해석이 가능하고 명사 "먹"으로도 가능한 중의적 어절을 점화 문자열로 제시하고 이 문자열이 두 의미와 관련된 목표 단어 재인에 어떤 영향을 끼치는지를 조사하였다. 만일에 "먹"이라는 어근 혹은 어간으로의 분석을 통해 이 어절을 이해한다면 두 종류의 의미와 관련된 조건 모두에서 촉진적 점화 효과(facilitatory priming effect)가 나타날 것이고, 어절 전체로의 어휘 접근 과정이 일어난다면 사용빈도에서 높은 동사 뜻과 관련된 조건에서만 촉진적 점화 효과가 나타날 것이다. 실험 1의 결과는 두 종류의 의미가 모두 활성화되는 것을 보여 주었다. 즉, "먹은"과 간은 어절 이해는 구성 형태소로의 분석과 구성 형태소 어휘 접근을 통해 어절 이해가 이루어진다는 가설을 지지하고 있다. 실험 2에서는 실험 1과 다르게 한 뜻으로만 안일 수밖에 없는 "쥐어"와 같은 어절을 사용하여 이런 경우에도(즉, 어절의 문맥이 특정 뜻으로 한정하는 경우) 구성 형태소로의 분석 과정이 일어나는지를 조사하였다. 실험 2의 결과는 실험 1의 결과와는 다르게 어간의 한가지 의미와 관련된 조건만 촉진적 점화 효과가 나타나는 것을 보여주었다. 특히, 실험 2에서 SOA가 1000msec일 경우, 두 의미의 활성화가 나타나는 것을 보여주었는데, 이 같은 결과는 어절 문맥이 특정한 의미로 한정시킬 경우는 심성어휘집에 활용형태로 들어있다는 것이다. 또한 명칭성 실어증 환자의 경우에는 즉시적 점화과제에서는 일반인과 같은 형태소 처리과정을 보였으나, 그이후의 처리과정이 일반인과 다른 형태를 보였다. 실험 1과 실험 2의 결과는 한국어 어절 분석이 구문분석 또는 활용형태를 통해 어휘 접근되는 가설을 지지하고 있다. 또 명칭성 실어증 환자의 경우에는 지연된 점화과제에서 형태소 처리가 일반인과 다르다는 것이 밝혀졌다. 이 결과가 옳다면 한국의 심성 어휘집은 어절 문맥에 따라서 어간이나 어근 또는 활용형 그 자체로 이루어져 있을 것이다.

  • The purpose of this study was to identify the effect of dental hygienists' perceptions of dental organizational culture and professional identity on organizational commitment. A survey was conducted with 310 dental hygienists working in dental hospitals and dental offices. If dental hygienists experience organizational cultures as having different degrees of organizational commitment, then the type of organizational culture and commitment may be important variables in understanding and reducing the turnover rate of dental hygienists and improving workplace performance. Efforts to form a healthy and positive organizational culture may therefore be necessary. The organizational culture most recognized by the dental hygienist was hierarchical culture (3.39) and the least recognized was task-orientated culture (2.71). The professional identity of the dental hygienist was 3.75 and the organizational commitment was 2.98. Correlation analysis was conducted to investigate the relationship between dental organization culture type, professional dental hygienist identity, and organizational commitment. As a result, professional identity and organizational commitment showed positive(+) correlation with innovation oriented culture and relationship oriented culture. Among the organizational culture types, relationship-orientated culture (p<0.001) and innovation-orientated culture (p=0.006) were significant influences on organizational commitment, and professional identity did not have a significant influence. The regression model was found to be statistically appropriate (F=11.857, p<0.001) and the model explaining power was 14.9%. These results suggest that efforts to create a relationship-orientated culture and an innovation-orientated culture and to reduce the hierarchical culture can be a strategy to enhance the organizational commitment and the professional identity of dental hygienists.

  • Objective: The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of weight of load and time on the physical workload of repetitive upper-limb tasks with handling light weight loads using EMG and perceived discomfort, and to investigate the relationship between EMG and perceived discomfort for those repetitive tasks of moving light weight loads. Background: Repetitive upper-limb motion is known as one of the main risk factors of musculoskeletal disorders, and a lot of repetitive tasks are carried out while handling light weight loads in the industry. In evaluating the workload of repetitive tasks handling light weight loads, EMG and perceived discomfort can be used, though their relationship in those work conditions are not much investigated. Method: A laboratory experiment with 18 healthy males were conducted to record EMG signals from 5 muscle sites of the right arm and shoulder and rate perceived discomforts for the body parts and the whole body while carrying out repetitive materials-handling tasks for 52min. The subjects were divided into 3 groups which handled the loads of 1kg, 2kg and 3kg, respectively. ANOVAs were conducted to analyze the effects of the weight and time on RMS of EMG amplitude (normalized RMS: NRMS), median frequency of power spectrum of EMG (normalized MDF: NMDF) and perceived discomfort. The correlations between NRMS and NMDF and perceived discomfort were also analyzed. Results: Statistically significant muscular fatigue effects were not found from NRMS and NMDF in most muscles, while there were significant increases of discomfort as the task time elapsed. It was shown that there were an increasing trend of the muscular activity as the weight of load increased and a decreasing trend of median frequency of EMG of upper and lower arms as time elapsed. It was found that there were significant negative correlations between NMDFs from the lower arm and discomfort ratings, though the relationships were weak. Conclusion: It can be concluded that the working conditions adopted in this study were not enough to induce muscular fatigue, while there was significant increase in perceived discomfort. A further study is necessary to integrate the objective and subjective measures for more reliable and sensitive evaluation of workload of repetitive tasks of handling light weight loads. Application: This study can be used as a basic study for the evaluation of workload of repetitive tasks handling light weight loads.

  • This study aims to investigate the effects of science writing activities on the students' science-related attitude, motivation for learning science, and academic achievement. One hundred and twenty seven second graders of a middle school located in Gyeonggi province participated in this study. The experimental group performed science writing activities, while the comparative group performed problem solving activities at the end of the regular science lessons over 30 class hours. For the students' science-related attitude and motivation for learning science, TOSRA, PALS, and MSLQ were used with some modification and supplementation. For the students' academic achievement, scores on science examinations were used. The results of this study are as follows: First, the test of the science-related attitude showed that science writing activities have positive effects on the cultivation of sciencerelated attitude, as for the sub-factors, 'attitude towards scientific inquiry,' 'pleasure of science lessons,' and 'active attitude towards science'(p<.05). Second, the test of motivation for learning science showed that the science writing activities had positive effect on the improvement in students' motivation, as for the sub-factors, 'difference in values on task' and 'self-efficacy'(p<.05). Third, science writing activities are effective on improvement in the students' academic achievement(p<.05), especially on the high-level achievement group.
