The effects of clearcutting on soil chemical ingredients and stream water quality have been investigated at a natural deciduous forest catchment within the Seoul National University Research Forest in Mt. Paekun, Chunnam province during the periods of 1993 to 1998. Soil chemical ingredients and stream water qualities were monitored at a 13 ha clearcutting site and a non-treatment site nearby. During the first and second years after harvesting, the levels of total-N, and exchangeable ions (K/sup ＋/, Na/sup ＋/, Ca/sup 2＋/, Mg/sup 2＋/) decreased compared to the values of before harvesting. During the fifth years after harvesting, these levels were significantly higher than those during the first and second years after harvesting. But the chemical characteristics of soil were not changed at all. pH of water in the harvesting area was 6.5 in stream water. Among the nutrients, Cd, Pb, Cu, and phosphate were not found, and the level of BOD reached at the level of the domestic use suitable for drinking. Turbidity, odor, taste, NH/sub 4//sup ＋/ -N, NO/sub 3//sup -/-N, standard plate count, and coliform were also low enough to be used as the domestic use for drinking by the near villagers. During the first and second years after harvesting, BOD increased to about 1 ppm. For that reason, the harvesting planning should be built in the harvesting area in consideration of the control of water quality in the stream.

This study was undertaken to identify the musculotendinous problems and contributing factors to those problems In students majoring in musical instruments in Korea. The data were collected from March 2, 1996 to March 31, 1996 from 261 music students in various geographical areas. The data were analyzed for descriptive statistics, t-test, chi-square using SPSS $PC^+$ program. The results of this study were as follows : 1. In a questionnaire survey of 261 music students, one hundred twenty five(47.9%) reported having had various musculotendinous symptoms. Twenty seven students among the those who had previous symptoms(21.9%) reported the present symptoms. 2. The experience rates of musculotendinous problems in keyboard players, string players and woodwind players were 50.3%, 48.2%, 33.3% respectively. 3. Most of the students practiced most intensively during their high school years and the musculotendinous symptoms began at the same period. 4. Pain, tenderness and stiffness were the most common symptoms, while paresthesia and motor dysfunction were rare. This indicates that most players had muscle tendinous overuse, while small number had nerve entrapment and motor dysfunction. 5. In past and present symptoms, string players experienced musculotendinous symptoms mainly in both sides of shoulders, lumbar area, left finger, and left wrist, while keyboard players experienced more symptoms in the right wrist, shoulder, fingers than left side. 6. The major contributing factors to the symptoms were weight of instrument, types of instruments, types of daily activities, duration of practice, and playing technique. 7 The most frequent treatment modalities for the symptoms were acupuncture or moxibustion, other alternative therapy such as heat compress and massage. Through this study it was found that the musculotendinous problems might be increased along with their career, due to lack of knowledge about preventive measures and patterns of health behavior seeking alternative modalities rather than professional consultation. Therefore, preventive measures that focus on playing habits such as duration of practice, frequency of rest and position while playing should be developed and taught to the students, their parents, and music educators. Doctors who are interested in this area should attempt to correct the position and posture while playing of the posture. And measures for reduction of loading of instrument weight should also be developed.

In this study, a triple-band antenna that can be used in WLAN(Wireless Local Area Network) at 2.4 GHz, 5.8 GHz, and 5G at 3.5 GHz is fabricated. The proposed antenna uses a parasitic element to show the triple band, and the reflector is used at a distance of ${\lambda}/4$ from the antenna to reduce the Specific Absorption Rate(SAR). Its dimensions are $100{\times}75{\times}1.6mm^3$ and each parameter value is optimized for better performance and a lower SAR value. As a result, we obtained a bandwidth of 540 MHz(2.02~2.56 GHz), 390 MHz(3.39~3.78 GHz), and 1,210 MHz(5.56~6.77 GHz) based on the reflection loss factor of -10 dB. In addition, the SAR values of the antenna with reflector are observed to reduce below the SAR value of international standard.

To get the basic information for the improvement of the optimum levels of upland soil fertility and fertilizer application, the soil samples in two hundred fifteen site were collected from the major condiment vegetable cultivation areas such as red pepper, garlic and onion fields. Physico-chemical properties of the soil samples were investigated. Soil texture distribution of soil samples in red pepper, garlic and onion cultivation areas was in order of loam (L), sandy loam (SL), silt loam (SiL) and clay loam (CL) (35.4, 31.6, 14.9 and 7.0%, respectively). The average pH of soil in garlic and onion cultivation areas were over pH 6.0, whereas in red pepper was under pH 5.5. The frequency distribution of soil pH in total sampling sites were 58.7% in under pH 6.0 and 21.4% in below pH 5.0, in contrast to 10.3% in over pH 7.0. The organic matter contents were in the range of $20{\sim}30g\;kg^{-1}$, and the onion field soils was a little higher than those in red pepper or garlic. The available phosphate contents were in the range of $719{\sim}746mg\;kg^{-1}$ and were not different among in red pepper, garlic and onion. The frequency distribution of available phosphate in total sampling sites were found 62.8% of above $600mg\;kg^{-1}$, which was over the standard level for upland soil improvement, and then 22.3% was exceeded $1,000mg\;kg^{-1}$, especially. In the exchangeable cations, the K and Ca contents in garlic (1.27 and $9.11cmol\;kg^{-1}$) and onion (1.20 and $8.39cmol\;kg^{-1}$) were higher than in red pepper (0.96 and $5.87cmol\;kg^{-1}$), respectively. The Mg contents in garlic field soils ($2.17cmol\;kg^{-1}$) were higher than those in red pepper and onion (1.51 and $1.80cmol\;kg^{-1}$). This exchangeable K, Ca and Mg contents were higher than the standard level for upland soil improvement. The contents of microelement were ranged in $54.3{\sim}60.1mg\;kg^{-1}$ for Fe, $31.3{\sim}42.3mg\;kg^{-1}$ for Mn, $1.7{\sim}2.3mg\;kg^{-1}$ for Cu and $4.8{\sim}5.5mg\;kg^{-1}$ for Zn, respectively.

동면 상태에서 혈액성분의 생화학적 변화치를 조사하고자 전남 각지에 서식 또는 광주직할시 근교에서 양식하고 있는 뱀장어, 개구리, 살모사 그리고 다람쥐를 활동기(7월∼8월), 잠입기(10월∼11월), 동진기(12월∼1월) 및 각려기(3월∼4월)에 채집하였다. 이들 동물들의 혈청에서 Total protein, Albumin, Globulin, A/G ratio, Glucose, Calcium, Urea함유량을 조사하여 얻은 성적을 비교 검토하여 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. 1 . Total protein의 변화는 각 동물사이에서 상당한 차이를 보이되 잠입기에 다소 증가하였다. 특히 다람쥐에서 Total protein 함유량이 다른 동물들 보다 많았다. Albumin함유량은 잠입기에 상승하였고 동면기에는 약간의 감소를 보이다가 각성기에는 현저한 감소를 보였다. gloulin함유량은 잠입기에 상당히 상승하고 동면기에 약간의 감소를 나타내었으며 각성기 인 봄철에는 많은 증가 현상을 보였다. 2. 혈청 Urea의 함유량은 동면의 각과정에 따라 상당한 차이가 있었다. 즉 잠입기에 약간 상승하고 동면기에는 저하를 보였으며 각성기에는 전 실험동물에서 검출되지 않았다. 3. 혈당의 변화는 잠입기에 대체로 저하하고 동면기에는 심한 저혈당 수준에 이르렀다. 각성기인 봄철에는 다람쥐를 제외하고는 동면기의 혈희량과 유사하였다. 4. 혈청 Calcium함유량의 변화는 활동기에 비하여 잠입기에는 상당한 증가현상을 보였으나동면기에는 전 실험동물이 거의 같은 수준으로 감소를 보이며 각성기에 까지 감소하였다. In order to the biochemical change of the serological components of hibernating animals, eels(hnguillo joponica Temminck et Schlegel), frogs (Rana nigromacurata Hallowell), snakes (Agkistro-don holds breuicaudus Stejneserl, squirrels (Tamias striatus Linnaeus) which were collected around Gwangiu city and the Chunnam area were observed in accordance with the phases of hibernation. The author described the hibernating cycle as active (June-July), prehibematins(October-Novemberl, hibernating (December-January) and posthibemating phase (March-Aprill. The values of total protein, albumin, globulin, hJG ratlo, calcium, glucose and urea were chiefly investigated in their serum. The results are as following: Total protein was shown to be consider-able in eels, frogs, snakes, squirrels and increased in prehibemation. Especially, the mean value was high in sqirrels. Albumin values was increased during prehibemation. But a little decrease was shown during hibernating and an outstanding decrease during posthibemation. The globulin value increased considerably during prehlbemation but decreased a little during hibernation phase. Changes of urea were shown to be considerable according to the stage of each hibem3-tion. A little increase was shown during prehibemation and decrease during hibernating stage. but urea was not found in posthibemation in any experimental animals. The glucose value was generally decreased during prehibematlon. An extremely little increase in glucose was shown during hibernation (hypoglycemia). All hibernating values except those for squirrels in spring posthibemating phase were at almost the same level. The calcium value was shown to be considerable during prehibemation in comparison with active phase. The same level of decrease was represented in all kinds of animals and continued at the stage of posthibemation.

This study was investigated to tile influences of clearcutting of timber harvesting on stream water quality at a natural deciduous forest catchment within the Seoul National University Research Forests in Mt. Baegun, Chunnam province during the periods of 1993 to 2001. Soil chemical ingredients and stream water qualities were monitored at 13 ha clearcutting site, non-treatment site and included in these catchment nearby. After the harvesting first and End years, the levels of total- N,　and exchangeable ions ($K^+,\;Na^+,\;Ca^{2+},\;Mg^{2+}$) were decreased the values of before　harvesting, and after the harvesting 111th years and eighth years, respectively. But the chemical characteristics of soil were not changed at all. pH of water in the harvesting area was 6.5 in stream water. Among the nutrient, Cd, Pb, Cu, and phosphate were not found, and the level of BOD reached at the level of the domestic use for drinking. Turbidity, odor, taste, $NH_4\;^+-N,\;NO_3\;^--N$, standard plate count, and coliform were also low enough to be used as the domestic use for drinking in the near villagers. Total amount of cation, total amount of anion and total amount of ion in clearcutting site, non- treatment site and included in these catchment nearby were higher than clearcutting site and non- treatment site. But, there was no great difference.

With the opening of healthcare market, the health care environment in Korea is anticipating a drastic change. In this Internationally open market environment, it is necessary to introduce a systematic health care plan and DRG system which offer qualitative medical services as well as reduced cost. Purpose of this study is to develop and test the critical pathway for Cesarean section patient in the way to be possible the integrated inpatient management. It was adopted the process of six phases to develop the critical pathway as the theoretical framework implemented by Johns Hopkins Hospital, Maryland, U.S.A. In the first phase, make a selection of diagnosis/procedures to develop. In the second phase, organize a development team consisted of eight expertises working in maternity nursing area. In the third phase, analyze the overall medical service offered to patient through review medical records and decided the service content and the implementation period for the Cesarean section patient. In the forth phase, make out a preliminary critical pathway after verification of expert group on content validity. In the fifth phase, validity operate to ten Cesarean section patients to test implementation in practice by using the preliminary critical pathway, In the sixth phase, defined the final critical pathway. The result of this study was as follows. 1. There were classified 8 categories as monitoring/assesment, treatment, medication, activity, diet, test, consult, education/discharge plan for vertical axis and showed hospital stayed from admission to discharge for horizontal axis of critical pathway through analysis 68 Cesarean section patients medical records. 2. After critical review 68 medical records to make out a preliminary critical pathway, hospital stays for horizontal axis were showed 6 days, mean hospital stays were 7.5 days, 2.1 days were to be taken operation after admission and 4.2 days were stayed until discharge after operation. 3. After making out a questionare in 90 items of a medical service content of eight categories and verifying the content validity of expertises, the 85 items of the preliminary critical pathway were selected by expertises agreement over 88% and modified or deleted 5 items showing agreement below 75%. 4. After verifying a validity to 10 patients for 4 weeks, hospital stays were 5.9 days. There were deleted 1 item and modified or supplemented the 9 items of the 10 items.

The salted-dried mullet (Mugil japonicus) roe is a kind of traditional food particulary in the area of Young-am gun, Chunnam province. The manufactruring method was that the fresh roe was salted by clean wasters, drained, shaped a flat piece with 1.2cm thickness by pressing, and spreaded sesame oils on the surface of the salted roe periodically during wind drying for 20 days. The dried roe was blanched in heated water$(80^{\circ}C/3min.)$ and packaged the dried product for the cooling storages. The fractional compositions of free lipid were 40% of neutral lipids, 12% of glycolipids and 9% of phospholipids and those of bound lipids were 13% of neutral lipids, 10% of glycolipids and 13% of phospholipids in wind drying method. The major fatty acids of the neatral lipids were $C_{16:0},\;C_{18:0},\;C_{18:2},\;C_{18:2}\;and\;C_{20:0}$ which was consisted of free and bound lipids. As the major fatty acid amount of neutral lipids was 30.1% in free lipid, and 11.0% in bound lipid, the nsaturated fatty acid degree(TUFA/TSFA)was 1.12-1.14, the polyenoic acid degree (TPEA/TMEA), 0.32-1.20 and the total essential fatty acid (TEFA), 11.33%.

The well preserved ostracodes of the Chunbuk Formation in Pohang Basin were analyzed isotopically to understand paleoceanographic conditions of the southeastern park of Korean peninsula which Songhacdong, and Mulcheonri areas range from - 2.2 to - 0.7% (PDB), - 0.7 to 0.0% , and -20.0 to - 0.8%, and their corresponding paleotemperatures range from ca 20 to 27$^{\circ}C$ (average = 24$^{\circ}C$), 17 to 20$^{\circ}C$ (average = 18$^{\circ}C$), and 20 to 26$^{\circ}C$ (average=23$^{\circ}C$),respectively. Assuming the $\delta$/SUP 18/O composition of the Middle Miocene seawater was about - 0.34% (SMOW), the paleotemperatures of the Middle Miocene shallow seawater in the Pohang Basin was almost equal to or slightly higher than the present summer temperature (ca 16 to 20$^{\circ}C$) near Pohang area. Carbon isotopic value of Cyhere omotenipponica is - 0.8% (PDB), reflecting marine carbonate carbon composition. Carbon isotopic compositions of other ostracodes such as Aurial okumurai, Trachyleberis niitsmai, Urocythereis sp., Urocythereis cf. gorokuensis, and Acanthocythereis mutsuensis range from - 5.2 to - 3.4% (PDB), which might have secreted their shells out of equilibrium with ambient seawater. This disequilibrium was most likely to have resulted from metabolic (=vital) effect, rather than temperature of productivity.
