  • 본 연구는 군의 보안문제가 국방과학기술의 발전과 더불어 사이버보안 등 기술적인 분야에 치중되어 왔던 점을 감안하여 조직문화 관점에서 군의 보안문제에 대해 접근하였다. 이러한 배경에서 선행연구를 통해 군의 보안문제에 영향을 미치는 변수를 추출 후 변수 간의 인과적 관계를 구조방정식모형 분석을 통해 검증하였다. 연구 결과의 의의는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 군 조직문화는 군인들의 가치관(국가관, 안보관, 군인정신)을 확립하는데 기여함은 물론 보안준수의지와 군 조직의 보안수준을 향상시키는데 직/간접적인 영향을 주고 있었다. 이것은 현재 군의 전반적인 조직문화가 장병들의 보안의식과 조직 보안성과 달성에 영향을 주고 있다는 점을 알려줌과 동시에 올바른 조직문화 조성을 위해 각고의 노력이 필요함을 나타낸다. 둘째, 군인의 가치관은 개인의 보안준수의지와 보안성과에 긍정적인 영향을 나타내고 있었다. 가치관은 조직문화를 이해하는 것에서 출발하며, 올바른 가치관이 형성되었을 때 조직의 보안태세 확립에 노력을 기울일 수 있다는 점을 알려준다. 셋째, 한국군의 맥락에 부합된 변수들을 추출하여 인과적 관계를 검증함으로써 연구의 완성도를 높였다는 점이다. 이러한 연구의 의의에도 표본의 대표성 확보, 보안수준 변화요인을 확인하기 위한 시계열 연구, 연구자 및 데이터의 삼각화 등은 연구의 한계이다.

  • 국내 여객선 이용자수는 매년 5% 이상 증가하여 2012년에는 1,453만명이 여객선을 이용하였으며, 동시에 해상재난 건수도 증가하였다. 재난예방단계에서 선내 승객의 피난가능성을 예측하고 재난상황에 대비한 안전피난 관련 기술을 개발하는 것은 매우 중요한 사안이다. 이에 본 연구는 일반 승객의 피난가능성 예측을 위한 선내 피난모델 개발을 위해 승선생활이 익숙하지 않고 재난대응과 관련된 정규교육을 받지 않은 일반인의 피난경로특성을 파악하였다. 본 83명이 참가한 본 실험에는 33가지 경로선택설문이 제시되었고 응답결과를 분석하면 다음과 같다. T, U, Y형의 2 분기경로에서 왼쪽 경로보다 오른쪽 경로를 선택하는 비율이 6~18% 높았다. 그러나 경로 상에 보행자 혹은 주행자가 있으면 보행자 혹은 주행자가 있는 경로를 선택하는 비율이 높아지며, 상대적으로 주행자가 이동하는 경로를 더욱 선호하였다. 'ㅓ', 'ㅏ'형의 2 분기경로, 3 분기경로에서는 직진경로를 선택하는 비율이 높았다. 이 경우에도 다른 사람을 따르는 경향이 나타났지만 그 보다는 직진경로를 선택하는 직진성이 더욱 강한 것으로 조사되었다. 또한 분기경로에서 상대적으로 밝은 경로를 선택하는 비율이 높았다. 계단에서는 같은 조건일 때 우측계단, 하향계단, 가까운 계단을 각각 더 선호하는 것으로 조사되었고, 일반 계단에 비해 에스컬레이터와 엘리베이터를 선택하는 비율은 매우 낮았다.

  • 본 논문은 유학과 대순사상의 생명론을 비교 고찰함으로써 생명과 생명 윤리에 대한 여러 논의들이 제기되는 이 시대에 생명의 의미를 새롭게 규명해보려는 것이다. 유학과 대순사상은 모두 천지의 생명원리, 즉 생명의지(生意)와 신명에 근거하여 만물의 생성을 설명한다. 이 때문에 천지 속의 만물은 동일한 생명원리를 얻어서 생겨난 것이므로, 동일한 내재적 가치를 지닌 존재이다. 여기에서 만물이 하나의 생명체라는 동체(同體)의식이 성립하니, 이러한 동체의식은 만물이 모두 하나(전체의 일부)라는 유기체적 세계관을 형성한다. 이로써 천지 속의 만물은 모두 상호 유기적인 관계 속에 존재하니, 나와 남이 별개의 존재가 아니라 함께 해야 할 소중한 삶의 동반자가 된다. 그럼에도 유학과 대순사상은 모두 만물과 달리 인간을 빼어난 존재로 규정한다. 인간의 우수성은 그대로 주체적 노력을 통하여 끊임없이 성찰·반성하여 자신을 완성시키고 만물을 완성시킴으로써 공존·공생의 대도(大道)를 이루게 한다. 이 과정에서 자기의 본성을 실현하고 올바른 인간상을 확립하는 수양과 수도의 공부가 제시된다. 이러한 수양과 수도를 통해 본성 또는 인간상을 실현함으로써 천지화육 또는 천지공사에 주체적으로 참여함에 따라 사람으로서의 책임과 사명을 다하게 되니, 이것이 바로 천·지·인 삼재(三才)사상의 내용이다. 결국 유학과 대순사상의 생명론은 만물이 모두 하나라는 동체의식에 근거하면서도 만물과 구분되는 인간의 특징과 역할을 강조하며, 이때 인간의 특징과 역할은 그대로 만물을 이끼고 보살피는 책임과 사명으로 드러난다. 이렇게 볼 때, 유학과 대순사상의 생명론은 그 이론구조가 매우 유사함을 알 수 있다.

  • 동시성 현상으로서 이해되는 주역 점(占)을 체험하기 위해서는 사람이 곤경에 처했을 때, 즉 의식이 한계에 도달했을 때 진지한 마음으로 물음을 던지는 종교적 자세(religo)가 전제되어야 한다. 그것은 단지 수동적인 자세가 아니라 지금 내가 무엇을 할 수 있는지를 묻는, 겸손하지만 적극적인 자세이다. 초의식과 접속하여 신탁을 얻는 주역 점의 체험은 의식의 자아가 무의식의 원형과 대화와 토론을 시도하는 적극적 명상과 일맥상통하며, '무의식의 절대지, 자기원형의 리듬을 찾아가는 과정'이다. 나는 부친상을 당하기 1달 전, 대화가 불가능한 아버지를 간병하면서 '지금 아버지와 나를 위해 무엇을 할 수 있습니까?' 라는 질문을 던지고 주역 점을 쳐서 주역의 19번째 괘, 지택 임괘(地澤 臨卦)초구 '함림정길(咸臨貞吉), 지행정야(志行正也)'를 점괘로 얻었다. 이 점괘를 통해 자연의 섭리에 '기쁘게 순종'하면서 겨울 뒤에 찾아올 봄을 기다리는 심정으로 죽음 이후 생을 기다리는 자세, 그리고 통속적인 이해타산을 넘어서는 인간 마음 속에서 우러나오는, 무한한 것(분석심리학적 용어로는 '자기[Self]')과의 만남에서 얻은 감동을 굳건한 마음으로 지켜가는 것이 인생의 참뜻을 바르게 행하는 것임을 나는 배울 수 있었다. 그리고 부친상 6개월 전에 꾼, '저승'에 대한 꿈에서 '죽음 뒤에도 이어지는 것이 있다는 것이 진실'이라는 직접적인 메시지의 충격 이외에도 확충의 과정을 통해 드러난 폐쇄 병동과 황천의 유사성-내향화를 통한 정신의 재생, 하얀 철문-, '영원을 향한 창문'을 통해 통과의례를 거쳐 새로운 것을 받아들이려는, 열린 태도의 중요성을 배웠다. 그리고 천주교의 교리 '성인의 통공'-산 자와 죽은 자가 서로를 도우며 나선형으로 순환하는 과정-이 우리의 정신 내에서 의식과 무의식이 상호작용하는 개성화 과정의 상징으로서 뿐만 아니라 실제일 수도 있다는 조그마한 희망을 아버지의 장례식에서 진행된 '연도(煉禱)'의례를 통해 어렴풋이 품게 되었다. 그리고 인생에서 만난 많은 인연들의 조문을 통해 받은 위로 속에서 무한한 것과 접촉하여 맺어지는 길은 바로 눈 앞에 있는 존재들과 사랑하는 것이 그 시작이라는 답을 나는 우선 얻었다. 이러한 연속적인 체험을 분석심리학적 입장에서 이해하고자 했다.

Data were collected from 1478 residents from March 2, 1999 to May 31, 1999. The results of this study are summarized as follows. 1. According to general characteristics of the subjects, 52.3% of the subjects was 'female'; 25.0% 'fifties of age'; 21.4% 'forties of age'; 20.9% 'thirties of ages'; 69.1% 'married'; 60.1% 'resident in a big city'; 12.1% 'residents in a small town or village'; 39.0% 'highschool graduate'; 35.9% 'above college graduate'; 23.4% 'housewife'; 23.4% 'professional' 34.1% 'Buddhist'; 81.1% 'middle class'. 2. The rate of experience of taking herb medicine was 85.2%(88.2% of 'male'; 82.5% of 'female'). It appeared to be significantly higher in the groups of 'the married', 'housewife', and 'Buddhist'. As the age increased, so the rate of experience of taking herb medicine was significantly high. 3. In case of purpose of taking herb medicine, taking herb medicine as a restorative(66.8%) was much higher than taking it as a curative medicine. Taking herb medicine as a curative medicine appeared to be significantly higher in the groups of 'male', 'thirties of age', 'resident in a town or village', 'above college graduate', 'professional technician', 'Christian', and 'the upper class'. 4. 52.1% of the respondents satisfied with the effect of herb medicine. The groups of 'male', 'older age', 'residents in a big city', 'insurant in company', and 'the employed' showed significantly high rate in satisfying with herb medicine than the other groups. 5. According to the reason for preferring herb medicine, 36.7% of the respondents preferred herb medicine because the herb medicine was effective, while 27.8% preferred it because its side effect was low. 16.7% preferred it. because persons around them recommended it. The preference for the herb medicine displayed significantly higher rate in the groups 'sixties of age', 'the unmarried', 'resident in a big city', 'office clerk', and 'the lower class'. 6. 42.6% of the respondents did not want to take the herb medicine because the price of the herb medicine was high. Also 20.6% of the respondents did not want to take herb medicine because it is uneasy to take herb medicine. 15.8% did not want to take it because certain foods should not be taken during the period of taking it. 9.4% did not want to take it because it tasted bitter. 7. In case of opinions on side effects of herb medicine, 40.8% of the respondents thinks that herb medicine is free from side effects, while 37.5% thinks that it causes side effects. There were significant difference in the opinions on side effects by sex, age, marital status, resident area, education level, occupation, and type of health insurance. 8. 60.7% of the respondents thinks the price of herb medicine is not resonable, while only 10.9% thinks it is resonable. 9. 14.2% of the respondents thinks health foods which contain herbs are good, while 16.8% thinks it is bad. 76.7% thinks that medicinal herbs in packages must be included in health insurance coverage, while only 3.0% thinks it needs not be included in health insurance coverage. 10. 45.2% of the respondents uses packs of decocted herbs although they think the packs of decocted herb are a little low effective because decocting herbs in home is bothersome. 45.2% uses packs of decocted herbs because they are convenient, being not related to the effect. 7.6% takes medicinal herbs after decocting them in a clay pot because they think the packs of decocted herbs have low effect. 11. According to the level of satisfaction with Oriental medical care, the respondents marked $3.47{\pm}0.64$ points on the base of 5 points. It was significantly higher in the groups of 'male', 'the married, resident in a big city', 'highschool graduate', 'the unemployed', 'office clerk', 'growing up in a big city', 'insurant in region', and 'the middle class'. 12. According to the result of a regression analysis of factors influencing preference for herb medicine, the factors displayed significant difference by sex, age, education level, health status, and times of receiving Oriental medical care. As shown in the above results, the community residents satisfy with the effect of herb medicine. Therefore, the method of taking herb medicine without difficulty must be devised. The medicinal herbs in packages need to be included in health insurance coverage and resonable price of herb medicine must be set. Also, education program for community residents must be developed in order to provide right information in herb medicine. Therefore, related public authority, associations, and professionals must make efforts, forming organic cooperative system.

  • It is very important to establish precisely the historical phases of nursing. We nurses should try to acquire the central social position in the health management system in the near the future, the 21st Century. Therefore my treatise aims to orient the desirable phases of the history of nursing through the feministic survey of the history of nursing from the post medieval epoche to the modern epoche. During the time of the renaissance which gave morning light to the modern epoche, the antique Athenian thinking of sex was again revived. Athenian excluded the women from the public and autonomous regions. All the medical activity, once dominated by the women, was misfortunately regarded as superstition acted by witches. Accordingly, the nursing women were to hunted as witches. In short, in the early modern epoche, women began to be excluded from the history of medical activities. In the middle modern epoche characterized by the enlightenment movement and early capital economic system, capitalistic patriarchal system began to be formed by change in the economic system. The status of women began to be greatly dropped below by the social distinction of the private dimension of home and the Public dimension of job. The woman was deprived of even the occasion to get the official license of medicine and medical institutions were handed to the state or the powerful and rich merchants. Accordingly, nursing acted mainly in the nunnery as the total approach to the patients was destructed wholly and transformed into the means of earning the money. Therefore unprepared low class -women began to engage in nursing only for the money. From then on, nursing activity was tunneled through the dark age for 200 years. In the late modern epoche characterized by the contrast of the accumulated vast capital by industrialization and vast poverty of the peoples, feminism began to float over the surface for the acquisition of equality of men and women from England. A feminist, Nightingale insisted that the women as nurses should be responsible for the healthy life of man. She tried the professional nursing education for women. Accordingly she not only contributed to the intellectual progress of women but also inspired in women the consciousness of the professional job. She tried to realize the ideal of at-that-time-feminists by engaging in nursing all through life. She really paved the road to contemporary nursing. In the near the future, I will write to describe how the late modern epoche nursing has fallen into the dilemma through the 1st and 2nd world wars and matured capitalism and to consider contemporary nursing with the status of women. All these papers aim to give proper recognition of nursing and right orientation of the future 21st Century nursing.

  • Safety is not a service provided selectively by the country, and it is a basic right that human beings should enjoy. However, as the recent expansion of outsourcing due to the efficient corporate management, fatal accidents such as the Taean Power Plant where subcontractors are pinched on conveyors continued to occur. In addition, public safety concerns have been widespread as there are constant safety-related accidents in public institutions such as KTX trains derailing. As public institutions require safety as a top priority for management rather than profit, the government needs a leading role to enhance the level of private safety activities. The government announced the "Measures to strengthen the workplace safety of public institutions" and is promoting measures to protect the lives and safety of the people. The purpose of this study was to in-depth analysis of the accident and death situation in public institutions in the last 5 years from 2014 to 2018. A recognition survey was also conducted and the results were analyzed. As a result of the analysis of industrial accident death, it showed that the number of industrial accident deaths in public institutions was about 50 people per year, and it occupied about 6.1% of all industrial accidents. Following the government's public policy measures, positive changes as a result of the survey on awareness were detected in the order of rising safety awareness and participation of management (56.9%), safety and health organization and personnel composition (37.9%), and increasing safety awareness and participation of members (18.9%). However, the obstacles to the implementation of government measures were followings; 1) consciousness and lack of participation (42.1%), 2) indifference from other departments (35.1%), 3) absence, or lack of competency of safety manager (33.3%). In addition, safety investments and safety management of contractors and ordering works were analyzed to have remained largely unchanged even after the implementation of safety measures. Through this study, it is intended to provide basic data for strengthening the level and activities of safety in public institutions.

  • A physician assumes toward his patient the obligation to use such reasonable care and skill as is commonly possessed and exercised by physicians in the same general line of practice in the same or similar localities and to use his best judgment at the times. Medical disputes between physicians and patients are, ever more increased in these days as human body, happens to cause a variety of changes in body unlike the function of machine. Such increased trends of medical disputes became a problem in common across the word under the influence of affluent living standard, high consciousness of life value and right by today's people. The aim of this dissertation is oriented to forming a physician's responsibilities in medicalcare accidents arising between physicians and patients. A general physician, for example, has not been negligent merely because, a specialist might have treated the patient with greater skill and knowledge. However, the fact that a physician may have acted to the best of his ability will not avoid legal problems for damages resulting from substandard treatment, that is the degree of care and skill which is to be expected of the ordinary practitioner in his field of practice. The duty of a physician who is, or holds himself out to be, a specialist is greater in the field of his specialty than one who is a general physician. A patient's consent to routine medical procedures is implied from the fact that patient comes to the physician with a medical problem and voluntarily submits to the procedures. For the more serious medical procedures and for major operations, however, it is preferable for the physician to have the patient's consent in writing, to facilitate proof of the consent in the event of a dispute or litigation. Suppose that mistakes on the part of physicians are likely to be blamed in all cases of malpractice. Then it will create a sort of shrinkage in activities of medical treatment. There should be some limitation on excessive application of 'The thing speaks for itself' on mistakes by physicians and availablity of cause and effect. It is a matter of complicity as well as a matter of importance to draw a definite boundary on responsibilities of physician. A series of further research on this particular aspect is strongly urged.
