교육분야에서 웹의 활용성에 대한 인식이 크게 증대되고 있는 반면 제대로 된 인터페이스 설계가이드가 없어 개발과정에 많은 어려움이 있다. 가이드라인이 있다 하더라도 일률적이고, 단편적이어서 디자인 개발에 실질적인 도움이 되지 못하는 문제점을 않고 있는 것이 현실이다. 본 연구는 심리적 언어도출을 통한 웹사이트 평가 방법을 개발하여 이것이 설계과정에 가이드라인이 될 수 있는가를 연구하고자 하였다. 먼저 심리적 언어를 도출하여 이를 설계 원리들과의 연관성을 알아 본 후 이렇게 만들어진 분류 체계를 기반으로 평가의 모델을 구축하였다. 그 결과 심리적 언어체계를 바탕으로 한 평가 모델이 실질적인 인터페이스디자인 문제해결에 도움을 준다는 사실을 알 수 있었다. 기존의 웹 개발자를 위한 인터페이스 가이드라인은 소프트웨어 개발에 사용되어지는 용어들로 인해 디자이너가 실질적으로 활용하기에 많은 어려움이 따랐지만, 디자이너의 역할이 크게 증대되고 있는 지금 심리적 언어체계의 가이드라인은 이해하기 쉽고, 사전에 문제점을 미리 파악 할 수 있어 졸은 자료로 활용 될 수 있을 것으로 기대한다.

The prevalence of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is increasing in Korea, and physicians, including surgeons, have been focusing on its treatment. Indeed, in Korea, medical treatment using a proton pump inhibitor is the mainstream treatment for GERD, while awareness of surgical treatment is limited. Accordingly, to promote the understanding of surgical treatment for GERD, the Korean Anti-Reflux Surgery Study Group published the Evidence-Based Practice Guideline for the Surgical Treatment of GERD. The guideline consists of 2 sections: fundamental information such as the definition, symptoms, and diagnostic tools of GERD and a recommendation statement about its surgical treatment. The recommendations presented 5 debates regarding fundoplication: 1) comparison of the effectiveness of medical and surgical treatments, 2) effectiveness of surgical treatment in cases of refractory GERD, 3) effectiveness of surgical treatment of extraesophageal symptoms, 4) comparison of effectiveness between total and partial fundoplication, and 5) effectiveness of fundoplication in cases of hiatal hernia. The present guideline is the first to demonstrate the efficacy of the surgical treatment GERD in Korea.

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) results in high morbidity and mortality among patients nationally and globally. The Korean clinical practice guideline for COPD was revised in 2018. The guideline was drafted by the members of the Korean Academy of Tuberculosis and Respiratory Diseases as well as the participating members of the Health Insurance Review and Assessment Service, Korean Physicians' Association, and Korea Respiration Trouble Association. The revised guideline encompasses a wide range of topics, including the epidemiology, diagnosis, assessment, monitoring, management, exacerbation, and comorbidities of COPD in Korea. We performed systematic reviews assisted by an expert in meta-analysis to draft a guideline on COPD management. We expect this guideline to facilitate the treatment of patients with respiratory conditions by physicians as well other health care professionals and government personnel in South Korea.

Background: To develop guidelines and recommendations to prevent and treat glucocorticoid (GC)-induced osteoporosis (GIOP) in Korea. Methods: The Korean Society for Bone and Mineral Research and the Korean College of Rheumatology have developed this guideline based on Guidance for the Development of Clinical Practice Guidelines ver. 1.0 established by the National Evidence-Based Healthcare Collaborating Agency. This guideline was developed by adapting previously published guidelines, and a systematic review and quality assessment were performed. Results: This guideline applies to adults aged ${\geq}19years$ who are using or plan to use GCs. It does not include children and adolescents. An initial assessment of fracture risk should be performed within 6 months of initial GC use. Fracture risk should be estimated using the fracture-risk assessment tool (FRAX) after adjustments for GC dose, history of osteoporotic fractures, and bone mineral density (BMD) results. All patients administered with prednisolone or an equivalent medication at a dose ${\geq}2.5mg/day$ for ${\geq}3months$ are recommended to use adequate calcium and vitamin D during treatment. Patients showing a moderate-to-high fracture risk should be treated with additional medication for osteoporosis. All patients continuing GC therapy should undergo annual BMD testing, vertebral X-ray, and fracture risk assessment using FRAX. When treatment failure is suspected, switching to another drug should be considered. Conclusions: This guideline is intended to guide clinicians in the prevention and treatment of GIOP.
