This study purports to investigate the determinants of patient satisfaction and intent to revisit at national university hospitals in Korea. A total of 8 independent variables for outpatients, 9 independent variables for inpatients, and an intervening variable of overall patient satisfaction were selected through literature review. The independent variables for outpatients contain the level of satisfaction with physicians, nurses, ancillary staff, administrative procedure, medical cost, physical environment, facility convenience. and health recovery. With regard to the independent variables for inpatients, the quality of ward services was added to those of outpatients. Each variable contains 3 to 8 items measuring the level of satisfaction with various aspects of the variable. The sample used in this study consisted of 879 outpatients and 821 inpatients. Data were collected with interview survey and analyzed using path analysis. The major findings of the study are as follows: 1) The following variables have significantly positive effect on the intent to revisit of outpatients: health recovery, overall satisfaction, satisfaction with physicians, and ancillary staff. 2) The following variables have significantly positive effect on the intent to revisit of inpatients: health recovery, satisfaction with nurses and physicians, overall satisfaction, and administrative procedure. 3) The following variables of admission procedure, satisfaction with ancillary staff, facility convenience, quality of ward services were found to have significantly positive effect only on the level of overall satisfaction, even though they do not have significant total effect on the intent to revisit. The results of the study indicate that national university hospitals in Korea should make an effort to improve the satisfactory level of patients with clinical outcome, services provided by physicians, nurses, and ancillary staff, and the quality of administrative procedure for enhancing the intent to revisit of patients.

One of the biggest problems in smoke control systems for high-rise buildings is stack effect, but there are no recognized methods or measures to solve the problem of stack effect as yet. The stack effect can be overcome by forming the uprising current inside the stair hall properly, but there is a limit to the height in supplying into the stair hall the smoke control air volume to be supplied to a floor in case of escape from fire. The limit to the height can be extended by over-coming the stack effect by pressurizing the stair hall and the ancillary room simultaneously. It can also be anticipated that the stack effect can be overcome by connecting the air supply shaft to the stair hall at the top. As a result of computer simulations using a network type of tool, it is found that adequate performance can be achieved by pressurizing the stair hall only for a building of 190m or less, and up to 360m when pressurizing the stair hall and the ancillary room simultaneously. In all those cases, however, an overpressure venting damper is required which operates within a suitable range for venting the overpressure outside.

Among the efforts to increase the efficiency of organic light-emitting device (OLED), there is a way: doping phosphorescent materials. As a phosphorescent material, complexes of heavy transition metal, platinum, were synthesized. $Cl^-$ ion and phenyl group were used as ancillary ligands with 2-(2-pyridyl)benzimidazole (pbi) as a chromophore. The complexes were analysed by FAB-mass spectrometer and absorption and emission spectra were obtained. A phenyl group was able to shift the emission band of the complex even if it's not a chromorphore.

The main objectives of this study are to compare the regional differences and to analyse the affecting factors of customer satisfaction. The subjects are 9 hospitals(5 Daegu region, 4 Seoul region) patient satisfaction index that were surveyed the 2004 Hospital Accreditation Program performed by KHIDI(Korea Health Industry Development Institute) and MOHW(Ministry of Health and Welfare). The sample used in this study consisted of 450 inpatients and 454 outpatients. The survey instrument is composed of physical environment items, physician factors, nursing staff factors, ancillary staff factors, administrative procedure items, and quality of hospital stay items. And overall satisfaction, intent to revisit, and intent to recommend as dependent variables are measured. Basically, the reliability and validity of survey items was evaluated. And the T-test was performed to compare regional differences of customer satisfaction. Finally to analyse the affecting factors on overall satisfaction, and customer loyalty(intent to revisit and intent to recommend), the multiple regression analysis was used. This study shows firstly, the Daegu region's patient satisfaction level of inpatients and outpatients is lower than Seoul region. Especially, nursing staff factors and quality of hospital stay items are very low on inpatient's satisfaction. Also all independent variables except the sufficiency of goods in hospital stand are very low on outpatient's satisfaction. Secondly, as a result of multiple regression analysis, ancillary staff factors(Beta=0.281) have a significant effect on overall satisfaction of inpatient cases in Daegu region. In regard to intent to revisit and intent to recommend, physical environment factors have a significant effect. Thirdly, in Seoul region, physical environment factors(Beta=0.430) have a significant effect on overall satisfaction of inpatient cases. In regard to intent to revisit and intent to recommend, administrative procedure items and nursing staff factors have a significant effect, respectively. In conclusion, these results indicate that hospitals in Daegu region make an effort to improve the customer satisfaction level, especially, of physical environment factors on inpatients and administrative procedure factors on outpatients

Most of the vascular procedures performed for various diagnoses and treatments of various abdominal intervention procedures performed by the Department of Radiology and Angiography are performed by puncture of the femoral artery. For this reason, patients should undergo blood-related tests such as prothrombin time (PT) and partial thromboplatin time (PTT). Therefore, many patients are instructed to take precautions such as putting a sandbag on the puncture site to prevent delayed hemorrhage after hemostasis of the femoral artery puncture site, and not to bend the leg of the treated area for about 3 hours. Because of this, many patients have complained of pain during the procedure and inconvenience during the absolute bed rest time in the ward. The purpose of this study was to compare the safety of balloon ancillary devices with sandbags placed on the hemostasis site to prevent delayed hemorrhage after arterial puncture. We compared the safety of each patient with the results of medical records in consideration of the problem that the patient could not press with the focus, the position of the patient was changed depending on the patient's body shape, and the problem of falling down according to the location of the puncture site. As a result, the use of a balloon type ancillary device improves the effect of continuous hemostasis, reduces discomfort during the patient's absolute stabilization time, increases the patient's satisfaction, and is a good alternative to the existing sandbag.

KCNQ family constitutes slowly-activating potassium channels among voltage-gated potassium channel superfamily. Recent studies suggested that KCNQ4 and 5 channels are abundantly expressed in smooth muscle cells, especially in lower urinary tract including corpus cavernosum and that both channels can exert membrane stabilizing effect in the tissues. In this article, we examined the electrophysiological characteristics of overexpressed KCNQ4, 5 channels in HEK293 cells with recently developed KCNQ-specific agonist. With submicromolar EC₅₀, the drug not only increased the open probability of KCNQ4 channel but also increased slope conductance of the channel. The overall effect of the drug in whole-cell configuration was to increase maximal whole-cell conductance, to prolongate the activation process, and left-shift of the activation curve. The agonistic action of the drug, however, was highly attenuated by the co-expression of one of the β ancillary subunits of KCNQ family, KCNE4. Strong in vitro interactions between KCNQ4, 5 and KCNE4 were found through Foster Resonance Energy Transfer and co-immunoprecipitation. Although the expression levels of both KCNQ4 and KCNE4 are high in mesenteric arterial smooth muscle cells, we found that 1 μM of the agonist was sufficient to almost completely relax phenylephrine-induced contraction of the muscle strip. Significant expression of KCNQ4 and KCNE4 in corpus cavernosum together with high tonic contractility of the tissue grants highly promising relaxational effect of the KCNQ-specific agonist in the tissue.

조합원의 이익 극대화를 목적으로 조합원들에 의해 민주적으로 운영되는 협동조합은 다양한 사회경제적 요구에 부응할 수 있는 새로운 사업모델로 주목받고 있다. 우리나라에서도 2012년 12월 협동조합기본법이 제정됨에 따라 전 산업에 걸쳐 다양한 종류의 협동조합 설립이 가능하게 되었다. 본 연구는 해외시장 진출을 위한 노력과 성과에도 불구하고, 실질적인 해외시장 매출은 기대에 미치지 못하고 있는 한국 애니메이션의 해외배급 개선방안 모색을 위해, 애니메이션 제작사들이 조합원으로 참여하는 해외 마케팅협동조합의 도입 타당성과 기대효과를 논의하였다. 애니메이션 제작사들과의 인터뷰 결과, 한국 애니메이션 해외 배급의 문제는, 1)취약한 마케팅 조직과 전문성, 2)TV 방영권 위주의 판매로 인한 부가판권 매출 미흡, 3)지역별로 특화된 마케팅 역량의 부족으로 확인되었고, 이는 수익성과 자금력이 취약한 애니메이션 제작사들로서는 해결하기 어려운 과제이다. 해외 마케팅협동조합이 설립된다면, 애니메이션 제작사들로서는 불가능했던 심층적인 시장조사 등을 통해 해외시장 적응력이 강화되고. 조합원들이 제작한 여러 작품을 함께 판매함에 따라, 장르 물량 타겟 등과 관련한 해외 거래선의 다양한 수요에 대한 대응력 및 협상력 강화를 기대할 수 있다. 또한, 조합원들의 자본과 인력을 함께 투입함으로써, 적극적인 홍보 마케팅을 통해 작품의 브랜드 가치 제고가 가능하고, TV 방영, 캐릭터 머천다이징, 디지털 미디어 유통 등 가치사슬의 전 과정에 걸친 매출 극대화와 지역별로 특화된 마케팅 조직의 구축이 가능해진다. 무엇보다도, 협동조합을 통해서 조합원들이 모든 주요 의사결정에 평등하게 참여함으로써 각각의 작품을 위한 최적의 마케팅 활동이 수행되도록 관리 통제할 수 있고, 판매 이익은 조합원 인 제작사에게 귀속되기 때문에, 배급사 이익의 극대화를 위해 개별 작품에 최적의 서비스가 제공되지 못하는 '주인-대리인 문제(principal-agent problem)'를 최소화 시킬 수 있다는 점에서 마케팅 협동조합은 효과적인 해외배급 활성화 방안이 될 수 있다.
