The purpose of this study is to analyse the state of the energy industry and to determine the efficiency of its functioning on the basis of energy conservation principle and application of innovative technologies aimed at improving the ecological modernisation of agricultural sectors of Kazakhstan. The research methodology is based on an integrated approach of financial and economic evaluation of the effectiveness of the investment project, based on calculation of elasticity, total costs and profitability, as well as on comparative, graphical and system analysis. The current stage is characterised by widely spread restructuring processes of electric power industry in many countries through introduction of new technical installations of energy facilities and increased government regulation in order to enhance the competitive advantage of electricity market. Electric power industry features a considerable value of creating areas. For example, by providing scientific and technical progress, it crucially affects not only the development but also the territorial organisation of productive forces, first of all the industry. In modern life, more than 90% of electricity and heat is obtained by Kazakhstan's economy by consuming non-renewable energy resources: different types of coal, oil shale, oil, natural gas and peat. Therefore, it is significant to ensure energy security, as the country faces a rapid fall back to mono-gas structure of fuel and energy balance. However, energy resources in Kazakhstan are spread very unevenly. Its main supplies are concentrated in northern and central parts of the republic, and the majority of consumers of electrical power live in the southern and western areas of the country. However, energy plays an important role in the economy of industrial production and to a large extent determines the level of competitive advantage, which is a promising condition for implementation of energy-saving and environmentally friendly technologies. In these circumstances, issues of modernisation and reforms of this sector in Kazakhstan gain more and more importance, which can be seen in the example of economically sustainable solutions of a large local monopoly company, significant savings in capital investment and efficiency of implementation of an investment project. A major disadvantage of development of electricity distribution companies is the prevalence of very high moral and physical amortisation of equipment, reaching almost 70-80%, which significantly increases the operating costs. For example, while an investment of 12 billion tenge was planned in 2009 in this branch, in 2012 it is planned to invest more than 17 billion. Obviously, despite the absolute increase, the rate of investment is still quite low, as the total demand in this area is at least more than 250 billion tenge. In addition, industrial infrastructure, including the objects of Kazakhstan electric power industry, have a tangible adverse impact on the environment. Thus, since there is a large number of various power projects that are sources of electromagnetic radiation, the environment is deteriorated. Hence, there is a need to optimise the efficiency of the organisation and management of production activities of energy companies, to create and implement new technologies, to ensure safe production and provide solutions to various environmental aspects. These are key strategic factors to ensure success of the modern energy sector of Kazakhstan. The contribution of authors in developing the scope of this subject is explained by the fact that there was not enough research in the energy sector, especially in the view of ecological modernisation. This work differs from similar works in Kazakhstan in the way that the proposed method of investment project calculation takes into account the time factor, which compares the current and future value of profit from the implementation of innovative equipment that helps to bring it to actual practise. The feasibility of writing this article lies in the need of forming a public policy in the industrial sector, including optimising the structure of energy disbursing rate, which complies with the terms of future modernised development of the domestic energy sector.

본 연구는 2011년 중학교 2학년을 대상으로 한국청소년정책연구원이 실시한 "한국 아동청소년 패널조사"의 원시자료를 활용하여(n=2,270명), 생태학적 관점에서 부모학대가 청소년 정서에 미치는 영향을 실증적으로 분석한 것이다. 이를 위해 부정적 정서와 이에 영향을 미치는 환경요인(부모관계, 교사관계, 친구관계, 학교생활)에 관한 경로모형을 설정하고, 부모학대 경험집단과 비경험집단 사이에 경로 차이를 구조방정식모형(Structural Equation Modeling, SEM)을 통해 분석하였다. 부모학대 비경험집단(n=1,644명)은 모든 경로가 유의하게 나타나 다양한 경로를 통해 부정적 정서를 완화시키는 반면, 경험 집단(n=626명)은 '교사관계${\rightarrow}$부정적 정서'와 '학교생활${\rightarrow}$부정적 정서'의 경로가 유의적이지 않아 부정적 정서를 완화하는 경로가 제한적이었다. 부정적 정서를 완화하는 총효과가 가장 큰 변수는 부모학대 비경험집단은 '친구관계'인 반면, 경험집단은 '부모관계'이었다. 이는 부모의 학대로 형성된 부정적 정서를 감소시킬 수 있는 핵심요인 역시 부모라는 것을 의미한다. 긍정적인 교사관계가 부정적 정서를 완화하는 효과는 비경험집단과 달리 경험집단에는 존재하지 않았다. 두 집단 모두에서 긍정적인 교사관계는 학교적응도를 높였지만, 이러한 경로를 통해 부정적 정서를 완화하는 간접효과는 부모학대 비경험집단에만 존재했다. 따라서 부모학대 경험집단에 있어 교사와의 부정적 관계는 학교적응에 위험요인일 뿐 아니라, 청소년 정서적 문제를 증폭시키는 요인이 될 수 있음을 시사한다.

现有文献表明, 影响服务业顾客忠诚的最重要因素是服务质量. 然而, 在服务质量是直接还是间接影响顾客忠诚方面, 学者们的观点有着明显的分歧. 目前, 中国国内专门针对移动通信行业服务质量与顾客忠诚之间关系的文章较少. 此外, 以往相关文献多是将顾客忠诚作为一个整体变量进行研究, 没有进一步将其细分为多个维度. 基于此, 本文拟通过实证研究来探析移动通信业服务质量各维度与顾客忠诚各维度之间的直接和间接影响机理, 其中选择顾客满意作为二者关系的中介变量, 希望研究结论能给国内移动通信企业的服务管理提供有效的理论指导. 为了使搜集到的数据有效, 本次调研范围仅限于黑龙江哈尔滨市, 调查对象为移动通信公司的用户. 本次调研采取随机抽样的方式, 共发放问卷350份, 收回问卷325份, 回收率为 92.9%. 剔除无效问卷, 有效问卷为289份, 即有效回收率为82.6%. 本文借鉴国内外现有文献所使用的量表, 这些量表已经在实证研究中得到验证. 本文提出六个假设, 总体而言, 只有四个假设没有得到支持. 为了验证服务质量构成要素量表的合理性, 本文对289份有效样本进行探索性因子分析. 同样, 对顾客忠诚的维度进行检验. 本研究采用Cronbach's ${\alpha}$系数来评价量表的信度. 本研究从内容效度, 结构效度和聚合效度三方面对问卷进行效度检验. 本研究对数据和模型的拟合优度进行检验, 以提高假设检验的准确程度. 通过文献资料的收集, 整理及数据处理, 本文提出了服务质量五维度模型以及服务质量与顾客忠诚度之间相互关系模型, 通过实证分析验证了有形性, 可靠性, 反应性, 保证性和关怀性是服务质量的五个构成要素, 验证了PZB对于服务质量的SERVQUAL的测量方法, 研究了移动通信服务质量各维度对顾客忠诚各维度的直接影响机理, 以及服务质量各维度如何通过顾客满意这一中介变量对顾客忠诚各维度的间接影响机理, 建立了相应的关系模型,并运用结构方程分析方法,对模型进行实证检验, 得出如下研究结论: 第一, 移动通信服务质量由有形性, 可靠性, 响应性, 保证性和移情性五个要素构成, 顾客忠诚由态度忠诚和行为忠诚两个维度构成. 在PZB设计的SERVQUAL量表基础上, 本文针对移动通信行业设计了服务质量测量量表, 通过探索性因子分析得出五个因子. 这五个因子与五构成要素基本一致, 说明服务质量五要素概念适用于移动通信行业. 同样, 对顾客忠诚量表进行因子分析, 得出两个因子, 与本文中的态度忠诚和行为忠诚相一致. 第二, 移动通信服务质量对顾客忠诚存在直接和间接的正向影响作用. 其中, 服务质量对态度忠诚有直接和间接的正向作用, 间接作用是通过顾客满意这一中介变量影响的; 服务质量对行为忠诚有直接和间接的正向作用, 间接作用是通过顾客满意和态度忠诚这两个中介变量影响的. 这说明移动通信服务质量越好, 顾客的满意度越高, 其对服务提供商的态度就越积极, 在行为上就越容易表现出对服务提供商的忠诚. 而且, 服务质量各维度对顾客忠诚各维度的影响机理是不同的, 比如: 有形性对顾客满意有直接的正向作用, 但对顾客忠诚却没有显著的直接作用; 保证性对顾客满意没有显著的直接作用, 但对顾客忠诚有直接和间接的正向作用. 第三, 顾客满意在移动通信服务质量与态度忠诚, 行为忠诚之间的具有显著的中介作用, 这说明服务质量的提高可以增加顾客的满意度, 而满意的顾客更容易成为忠诚的顾客; 而态度忠诚在移动通信服务质量与行为忠诚之间的具有显著的中介作用, 这说明顾客行为上表现出忠诚可能是虚假忠诚, 只有态度和行为都忠诚的顾客才是真正的忠诚顾客. 本文的研究结论对中国及其它国家的电信运营商如何提升服务质量有一定的借鉴意义. 本文存在两方面的局限性: 首先, 本研究仅在黑龙江哈尔滨地区进行问卷调研, 针对移动公司用户, 统计数据会存在一定的抽样误差, 影响最终的统计分析结果. 第二, 本研究主要探讨了服务质量对顾客忠诚的影响关系, 并引入了顾客满意作为中介变量, 但没有考虑其他可能影响顾客忠诚的因素, 例如顾客价值, 消费者特征等.

연구배경 : 고열과 유독가스에 의한 흡입 폐 손상은 화상 환자에서 화재와 관련한 주된 사망원인이다. 따라서 조기진단과 적절한 치료가 중요한데, 본 연구는 초기 COHb 농도가 증가한 화상 환자의 임상 특성 및 경과를 관찰하고 흡입 폐 손상에 대한 예후인자를 알아보고자 하였다. 방 법 : 2001년 8월부터 2002년 7월까지 응급실 통해 내원한 1,416명 환자 중 동맥혈 가스검사에서 COHb 농도가 5% 이상인 39명을 사망군(12명)과 생존군(27명)으로 나누어, 임상특성, 임상적 흡입 손상 정도, 흉부 X-선 소견, 화상 체표 면적, APACHE II 점수, SAPS II 점수 등을 후향적으로 비교하였다. 결 과 : 생존군과 사망군 사이에 COHb 농도는 각각 $10.3{\pm}8.8%$, $9.7{\pm}5.7%$, 화상 체표면적은 $16.6{\pm}17.8%$, $60.7{\pm}28.8%$였다. 임상적 흡입 폐 손상 정도 및 초기 흉부 X-선 소견은 생존군과 사망군 사이에 유의한 차이점을 관찰할 수 없었다. 두 군사이의 사망관련 인자로는 화상 체표면적, APACHE II 점수, SAPS II 점수, 기계 호흡 및 총 입원기간이 관여하고 있었으나 다변량 분석에서 화상 체표 면적이 가장 중요한 사망관련 인자였다. 결 론 : 초기 동맥혈 COHb 농도가 증가되어 있는 화상환자의 예후는 불량할 것으로 기대되기 때문에 치료에 많은 관심을 기울여야 할 것으로 사료된다. 하지만, COHb이 흡입 폐 손상을 동반한 화상 환자의 예후에 미치는 효과에 대해서는 향후 전향적 연구를 통해서 검토되어져야 할 것으로 생각된다.

목적: Runt-related transcription factor 3 (RUNX3)는 새로운 tumor Suppressor로써 최근 많은 연구들이 여러 암을 대상으로 진행되고 있다. 그러나 위암에 대한 임상연구는 아직까지 보고가 많지 않은 상태이다. 이에 저자들은 본 연구에서 위암조직에서의 RUNX3의 발현율과 임상적 의의에 대해 분석을 시행하였다. 대상 및 방법: 2001년 1월부터 2005년 12월까지 서울의료원에서 위암으로 근치적 수술을 시행 받은 124명을 대상으로 하였다. 이들 환자에서 적출된 위 조직으로 만들어진 파라핀 블록을 이용해 위암조직 124예를 채취하여 RUNX3 발현을 면역조직화학염색으로 확인한 후 비교분석 하였다. RUNX3 염색결과는 핵과 세포질에서 양성과 음성으로 나누어 각각 판독하였으며 통계분석은 SPSS 11.0을 사용하였다. 결과: 대상 환자의 평균 연령은 61세($33{\sim}87$세)였으며 남자 81명(65.3%), 여자 43명(34.7%)으로 1.9 : 1이었다. 위암조직에서 RUNX3의 발현율은 59.7% (74/124명)이었으며 위암세포에서 주로 세포질에 발현되었다. 위암조직의 분화도에 따른 RUNX3 발현의 차이에서 분화도가 양호한 경우의 발현율(핵내: 9.1%, 세포질: 57.0%)에 비해 분화도가 나쁜 경우 발현율(핵내: 5.2%, 세포질: 46.6%)이 낮았으나 통계적 유의성은 없었다(P=0.133). 위암조직에서의 RUNX3 발현 유무와 생존율 사이에 통계적 유의성은 없었다(P=0,626). 5년 생존율과 연관지어 단변량, 다변량 분석 통계에서 의미가 있었던 것은 UICC TNM 병기뿐이었다(P<0.001). TNM 병기별 5년 생존율은 IA-93.6%, IB-90.9%, II-81.7%, IIIA-30.0%, IIIB-31.3%, IV-22.7%였다. 결론: 위암조직에서 RUNX3 핵 내 발현이 위암조직의 분화도가 좋을수록 발현율이 높았다. RUNX3의 핵 내 발현율이 생존율에 미치는 영향은 단변량, 다변량 분석에서는 유의성이 없어 향후 이에 대한 좀 더 많은 증례로 유의성을 찾는 연구가 필요할 것으로 생각된다.

It is not too much to say that smartphones have become an essential part of our lives due to their versatility. Nevertheless, they still have less overall capabilities than their desktop counterparts. Specifically, they have small screens and low resolutions, which make their applications difficult to have a usable interface. To account for these limitations, the interface of smartphone applications should be designed carefully and properly. Good interface design to any application is critical. However, a comprehensive information systems (IS) literature review found that there has been little research on the user interface design of smartphone applications. More specifically, there has been little empirical evidence and understanding about how metaphors, an imaginative way of describing objects and concepts, in the user interface of smartphone applications affect users' intention to use the applications. Thereby, the research goals of this study are to examine 1) the effects of the metaphors in the user interface of smartphone applications on the interaction between users and applications and 2) the effects of mediating variables including the interaction between users and applications, users' beliefs and attitudes, on users' intention to use the applications. A survey was conducted to collect data. University students and practitioners participated in the survey. A 24-item questionnaire was developed on a 5-point Likert-type scale. The measurement items were mostly adapted from the previous studies in the IS literature and modified to fit the context of this study. First, a principal component factor analysis was performed to explore the inter-relationships among a set of variables. The analysis showed that most of the items loaded quite strongly on the six components. The analysis also revealed the six components with eigenvalues exceeding 1, explaining a total of 70.7 per cent of the variance. The reliabilities of the items were also checked. Most Cronbach alpha values were above 0.8, so the scales were considered reliable. In sum, the results of the analysis support the decision to retain the six factors for further investigation. Next, the structural model was analyzed with AMOS structural equation modeling. The values of GFI, AGFI, NFI, TLI, CFI, and RMSEA were checked. The values showed that the research model considerably have a good fit in general. Next, the convergent and discriminant validities of all constructs were examined. The values for the standardized regression weights and critical ration (CR) indicated sufficient convergent validity for all constructs. In addition, the square root of the average variance extracted (AVE) of each construct was compared with its correlations with all other constructs. The results supported discriminant validity for all constructs. In sum, the results of analysis demonstrated adequate convergent and discriminant validities for all constructs. Finally, path coefficients between the variables were examined. Methphor was found to have an impact on interaction (${\beta}$ = .457, p = .000). There were also significant effects of the interaction on perceived usefulness (${\beta}$ = .273, p = .000) and ease of use (${\beta}$ = .405, p = .000). User attitude was significantly influenced by these two beliefs, perceived usefulness (${\beta}$ = .386, p = .000) and ease of use (${\beta}$ = .347, p = .000) respectively. Further, the results of analysis found that users' intention to use smartphone applications was significantly influenced by user attitude (${\beta}$ = .567, p = .000). Based upon the analyses, all hypotheses were supported. This study found that the metaphors used in the interface of smartphone applications affect not only the interaction between users and applications, but also users' intention to use the applications through the mediating variables, perceived usefulness and ease of use. These findings imply that if the metaphors used in the user interface of application are easy enough to understand for smartphone users, then the application can be perceived useful and easy to use, which in turn make users to have an intention to use the application. In conclusion, this study contributed not only to validate and extend Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) partially, but also to develop the construct of metaphor in smartphone settings. However, since a single empirical study cannot be enough to validate the findings, some limitations should be considered.

Health services on industrial noisy environment have been provided only for noise-induced hearing loss management until now. But gradually, modem diseases and death have come to be related to stress and mental health deeply, therefore noise-induced mental disorder, like a stress became very important. In this point, the purpose of this study was to analyze the relationship between noise exposure level in worksite and workers' stress symptoms. This study included a survey of 786 manual workers selected from 89 worksites in 21 factories in Puchon. The results were as follows: 1. For demographic characteristics, most of the workers were males(80.8%), the $20\sim29years$ old were 34.5% and those who graduated from high school were 65.3%. The workers whose monthly income ranged from 100,000 to 800,000 won were 37.5% and who have a religion were 47.9%. 2. For occupational characteristics, workers who had worked $1\sim5$ years in the factories were 33.0%. Those who were much for them workload were 43.9% and who worked more than 8 hours a day were 73.9%. Those who were disatisfied with their job and pay were 31.9% and 50.6%. The workers who responsed ventilation condition of their worksites were bad were 51.9% and the dissatisfed with working environment of their worksites were 45.9%. 3. Workers who were suffering from tinnitus were 53.3% and those who perceived hearing loss were 50.1%. Persons who reported they always wore earplugs at work were 35.4%. Those who felt earplugs bigger than their ears were 30.6% and those who experienced eardiseases caused by earplugs were 25.6%. 4. For the noise exposure level in worksite, workers who were exposed to $80\sim90dB$ were 30.3%, $90\sim100dB$ were 26.4% and $50\sim70dB$ were 19.2%. 5. Workers' stress symptoms were significantly related to marital status and their monthly income(p<0.05). Workers who were single and had lower monthly income showed higher PSI (Psychiatric Symptom Index) scores than those who were married and had higher monthly income. Higher PSI scores were also significantly related to $1\sim2$ days hight-work per week, much for them workload, dissatisfaction with their job, and bad relationship with their bosses and coworkers. 6. Higher PSI scores were significantly related to severe tinnitus and perceived hearing losso(p<0.001). Workers who felt the earplugs they use did not fit their ears showed significantly higher PSI scores(p<0.01). Workers who reported that they did not feel they need earplugs showed. significantly higher PSI scores (p<0.05). Increased experience of eardisease caused by earplugs that did not fit were also significantly related to higher PSI scores(p<0.01). 7. The higher noise exposure level in worksite from 80dB was, the more severe stress symptoms including PSI subparts were reported; Anxiety, Anger, Depression, and Cognitive disorder(p<0.001). 5. According to the results of stepwise multiple regression analysis, factors affecting workers' PSI scores were perceived hearing loss$(R^2=0.160)$, noise exposure level in worksite$(R^2=0.110)$, realtionship with coworkers, amount of workload, monthly income and relationship with bosses orderly and the total $R^2$ of this 6 factors was 0.371. 9. The most significant factors that have impact on manual workers' stress symptoms were perceived hearing loss and noise exposure level in worksite, especially noise exposure level in the worksite was the most affective factor on the depression symptom.
