우리는 국가가 없는 짧을 생각할 수 없을 정도로 국가는 인간 생활의 거의 모든 면에 스며들어와 있다. 교육 경제 사회복지 국방 등의 영역은 물론 우리가 결혼을 하고, 아이를 낳고, 이사를 하는 등 개인의 일로 여겨져 오던 일들에도 법과 제도를 통해 궁극적으로 국가의 권위나 통제력과 관련이 되어있는 상황이다. 이러한 국가 권력의 핵심인 정부(政府)는 정책의 기획과 수립 집행을 위한 조직체로서 효율적 역할수행능력을 지녀야 하는 동시에 대외적으로는 국가 권력 공동체로서 대표성(代表性)과 공공성(公共性)을 지녀야 하고 그에 합당한 이미지를 확립해야 한다. 그러나 현재 우리나라 정부기관들의 C.I.(Corporate Identity)는 각 부처가 개별적이고 산발적으로 개발하여 하나의 정부조직체(政府組織體)로서 체계와 통일성이 없다. 또 그 형태나 소재에 있어서도 단기간의 유행이나 흐름에 편승함으로써 일반 사기업(私企業)과 구별되지 않는다는 문제점을 안고 있다. 이는 곧 우리나라 정부가 체계적이고 조직적인 행정능력이 부족하다는 점을 반증하는 것일 수 있다. 왜냐하면 어떤 대상의 이미지는 그 대상의 성격과 실체를 대변하며 이에 대한 외부의 인식과 평가가 곧 그 대상의 아이덴티티(Identity)가 되기 때문이다. 정부란 우리가 원하든 원하지 않든 공권력(公權力)을 수반한 조직체로서 사(私)조직과 차별되는 특성을 갖고 있으며 동시에 국가라는 사회문화적 공동체를 대표한다. 그러므로 정부조직의 체계적이며 통합적인 이미지 확립은 궁극적으로 국가 경쟁력과 밀접하게 관련되어 있다고 하겠다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 국가기관으로서 정체성을 갖는 동시에 효율적 행정서비스 기관으로서 효과적인 커뮤니케이션을 가능케 하는 정부의 통합적인 이미지 체계를 제시해 보고자 한다. 있는 개념이다.조를 벗어나면서도 활기찬 가로의 이미지를 갖게 되는 것은 가로공간의 구조적요소 이외에 가로공간 활성화인자에 의해 많은 영향을 받고 있다는 것을 알 수 있었다. 즉, 이런 구조를 가진 한국의 상업지역의 가로인 경우 연도건물, 보도, 수경시설 등의 인자 순으로, 일본의 업무지역의 가로인 경우 수경시설, 연도건물, 보도인자 순으로 가로활성화에 영향을 주고 있다는 것을 알 수 있었다.과 대동소이했다. 물리적인 특성값(고유저항, 자기유도, 초투자율, 손실계수, 큐리온도 등)으로 미루어보아 각종 microwave 통신기기 core 및 고 투자율 deflection yoke core 등으로 사용이 가능하다.의 쐐기를 사용할 때 MU값이 크다. 결론: 수집된 광자선 빔 데이터를 분석하여 빔데이터의 정확성과 치료계획용 시스템의 계산 정확성을 대략적으로 점검 할 수 있는 기준 값을 제시하였다.동결이 요구되며 본 연구에서 이용된 OPS 동결 방법이 폭넓게 활용될 것으로 사료된다.며 이 때가 최상의 교배 적기로 사료되며, 혈장 progesterone농도가 4.0 ng/ml 이상으로 증가한 날(Bay 0)을 기준으로 하였을 때부터 CI는 혈장 estradiol-
The increasing functional needs of top-quality printing papers and packaging paperboards, and especially the rapid developments in electronic printing processes and various computer printers during past few years, set new targets and requirements for modern paper quality. Most of these paper grades of today have relatively high filler content, are moderately or heavily calendered , and have many coating layers for the best appearance and performance. In practice, this means that many of the traditional quality assurance methods, mostly designed to measure papers made of pure. native pulp only, can not reliably (or at all) be used to analyze or rank the quality of modern papers. Hence, introduction of new measurement techniques is necessary to assure and further develop the paper quality today and in the future. Paper formation , i.e. small scale (millimeter scale) variation of basis weight, is the most important quality parameter of paper-making due to its influence on practically all the other quality properties of paper. The ideal paper would be completely uniform so that the basis weight of each small point (area) measured would be the same. In practice, of course, this is not possible because there always exists relatively large local variations in paper. However, these small scale basis weight variations are the major reason for many other quality problems, including calender blacking uneven coating result, uneven printing result, etc. The traditionally used visual inspection or optical measurement of the paper does not give us a reliable understanding of the material variations in the paper because in modern paper making process the optical behavior of paper is strongly affected by using e.g. fillers, dye or coating colors. Futhermore, the opacity (optical density) of the paper is changed at different process stages like wet pressing and calendering. The greatest advantage of using beta transmission method to measure paper formation is that it can be very reliably calibrated to measure true basis weight variation of all kinds of paper and board, independently on sample basis weight or paper grade. This gives us the possibility to measure, compare and judge papers made of different raw materials, different color, or even to measure heavily calendered, coated or printed papers. Scientific research of paper physics has shown that the orientation of the top layer (paper surface) fibers of the sheet paly the key role in paper curling and cockling , causing the typical practical problems (paper jam) with modern fax and copy machines, electronic printing , etc. On the other hand, the fiber orientation at the surface and middle layer of the sheet controls the bending stiffness of paperboard . Therefore, a reliable measurement of paper surface fiber orientation gives us a magnificent tool to investigate and predict paper curling and coclking tendency, and provides the necessary information to finetune, the manufacturing process for optimum quality. many papers, especially heavily calendered and coated grades, do resist liquid and gas penetration very much, bing beyond the measurement range of the traditional instruments or resulting invonveniently long measuring time per sample . The increased surface hardness and use of filler minerals and mechanical pulp make a reliable, nonleaking sample contact to the measurement head a challenge of its own. Paper surface coating causes, as expected, a layer which has completely different permeability characteristics compared to the other layer of the sheet. The latest developments in sensor technologies have made it possible to reliably measure gas flow in well controlled conditions, allowing us to investigate the gas penetration of open structures, such as cigarette paper, tissue or sack paper, and in the low permeability range analyze even fully greaseproof papers, silicon papers, heavily coated papers and boards or even detect defects in barrier coatings ! Even nitrogen or helium may be used as the gas, giving us completely new possibilities to rank the products or to find correlation to critical process or converting parameters. All the modern paper machines include many on-line measuring instruments which are used to give the necessary information for automatic process control systems. hence, the reliability of this information obtained from different sensors is vital for good optimizing and process stability. If any of these on-line sensors do not operate perfectly ass planned (having even small measurement error or malfunction ), the process control will set the machine to operate away from the optimum , resulting loss of profit or eventual problems in quality or runnability. To assure optimum operation of the paper machines, a novel quality assurance policy for the on-line measurements has been developed, including control procedures utilizing traceable, accredited standards for the best reliability and performance.
폴리오바이러스는 바이러스들 중에서도 특히 커기가 작은 바이러스로서 피막(coat)을 둘러싸는 막(envelop) 이 없다. 폴리오바이러스는 (+) 가닥의 단일 RNA 게놈을 갖는데 이는 한 개의 해독판 (open reading frame)을 이용하여 다단백전구체를 만든 후 바이러스 자체의 단백질분해효소에 의해 스스로 잘라져서 궁극적으로느 특이한 기능을 갖는 여러개의 단백질이 된다. P1 다단백질전구체로부터 만들어지는 단백질들은 바이러스의 피막을 구성하는 성분이다. 단백질분해효소인 2A에 의한 최초의 절단은 구조단백질 P1 전구체와 구조단백질이 아닌 P2-P3간을 분리시켜준다. 단백질분해효소 2A는 진핵세포 판독개시인자(translation initiation factor) 4F의 한 subunit인 숙주단백질 p220의 절단에 간접으로 참여한다. 이 단백질의 절단은 캡(cap)에 의존하는 숙주세포의 대부분의 판독을 차단하게 되며 이는 판독에 사용되는 숙주세포의 모든 기구들을 캡에 의존하지 않는 폴리오바이러스 NA 특유의 판독을 위해 전적으로 사용할 수 있게 해준다. 2B, 2C, 2BC 단백질의 기능에 대해서는 많이 알려져 있지 않다. 2B, 2C, 2BC와 3CD 단백질들은 바이러스로 인해 만들어지는 소낭(vesicle)의 복제복합체에 함유되어 있으므로 바이러스의 RNA 복제시 중요한 역할을 함을 암시해준다. 새로이 만들어진 모든 바이러스 RNA는 VPg와 공유결합으로 연결되어 있다. VPg는 3AB로부터 만들어진 아미노산 22개 짜리의 폴리펩타이드이다. 3C와 3CD는 단백질분해소로 다단백질 전구체의 대부분의 절단부위를 잘라준다. 3C단백질은 숙주의 전사인자를 불활성화 시킴으로써 RNA polymer II와 III에 의한 전사를 저해한다. 3D는 RNA의존선RNA 중합효소이다. 폴리오바이러스는 (+)가닥 RNA 바이러스의 일반적인 복제양식을 따른다. 즉 (+) 가닥 RNA는 이와 상보적인 (-)가닥 RNA로 전사되고 이는 다시 (+)가닥 RNA의 합성을 위한 주형으로 사용된다. 폴리오바이러스의 RNA 합성은 세포내막에서 일어나는 데 RNA 복제에 요구되는 주형 RNA와 이때 필요한 단백질들이 어떤 방법으로 세포내막에서 모일 수 있는지는 아직 밝혀진 것이 적다. 바이러스입자의 형성은 세포막의 RNA 복제가 들어가는 데 피막단백질이 (+)가닥 RNA을 인식하는 표지 즉 packaging singal에 대해서는 거의 알려져 있지 않다. 폴리오바이러스 감염 후 첫 바이러스입자가 만들어지기 까는 약 6시간이 소요된다.
시장에서 기업의 성공은 고객에게 전달하는 가치와 연결되어 있다. 그러나 그 가치가 항상 일정한 것은 아니며 환경이 변함에 따라, 고객경험과 요구사항도 변하고 마침내 그들이 추구하는 가치도 변하기에 적시적절하며 명쾌하고 효과적인 가치제안은 관련 효익(benefits)과 더불어 기업의 기능적, 심리적, 경제적 기초가 된다. 따라서 Product-Market Fit, 경쟁력 있는 차별점 구축, 일관된 메시지 전달의 차원에서 고객가치제안은 매우 중요하다. 그럼에도 실제로 일반 기업에서 Customer Value Proposition(CVP) 관련 가장 많이 알려져 왔고 널리 활용되는 모델은 Osterwalder와 Pigneur의 Value Proposition Canvas(VPC)뿐이며 그 외에는 학자나 전문가 들이 사용하는 모델들이 몇 개 더 있을 뿐이다. 이에 본 논문에서는 전 세계적으로 고객가치제안 관련 기업 실무자들이 많이 사용하는 VPC 모델과 전문가들에게 잘 알려진 2개의 주요 CVP 모델을 선정, 이들을 상세 분석해서 도출된 고객가치제안의 필수요소 및 특장점을 오늘날 혁신을 위해 많이 사용되는 린스타트업 방법론과 결합하여 스타트업이 손쉽게 활용할 수 있는 통합 CVP Model을 설계하였다. 이번 연구에서 제안하는 Framework은 Integrative-Lean CVP process의 기본 틀 위에 기존 CVP 3개 모델의 장단점과 특징 및 공통점을 모두 반영한 고객가치제안 종합모델로 기업 전체나 특정 제품/서비스의 모든 상황을 종합적으로 고려하여 기업의 사업방향이나 전략적 특성 등에 따라 탄력적으로 적용할 수 있고 고객의 Wants & Needs와 Strategic Focus 그리고 Growth Horizons의 내용이 종합적, 분석적으로 포함되어져 적용 이후에도 체계적으로 관리할 수 있다는 특징이 있다. 스타트업뿐만 아니라 중견기업, 대기업 및 일반 기관에서도 손쉽게 사용할 수 있도록 설계되어 자금과 마케팅역량이 부족한 스타트업들이 적시적절한 Product-Market Fit의 구현을 위한 가치제안 방법론을 적용, 기대 이상의 성장을 하여 새로운 스타트업 생태계가 만들어지길 기대한다.
The supply chain management (SCM) systems have emerged as strong managerial tools for manufacturing firms in enhancing competitive strength. Despite of large investments in the SCM systems, many companies are not fully realizing the promised benefits from the systems. A review of literature on adoption, implementation and success factor of IOS (inter-organization systems), EDI (electronic data interchange) systems, shows that this issue has been examined from multiple theoretic perspectives. And many researchers have attempted to identify the factors which influence the success of system implementation. However, the existing studies have two drawbacks in revealing the determinants of systems implementation success. First, previous researches raise questions as to the appropriateness of research subjects selected. Most SCM systems are operating in the form of private industrial networks, where the participants of the systems consist of two distinct groups: focus companies and vendors. The focus companies are the primary actors in developing and operating the systems, while vendors are passive participants which are connected to the system in order to supply raw materials and parts to the focus companies. Under the circumstance, there are three ways in selecting the research subjects; focus companies only, vendors only, or two parties grouped together. It is hard to find researches that use the focus companies exclusively as the subjects probably due to the insufficient sample size for statistic analysis. Most researches have been conducted using the data collected from both groups. We argue that the SCM success factors cannot be correctly indentified in this case. The focus companies and the vendors are in different positions in many areas regarding the system implementation: firm size, managerial resources, bargaining power, organizational maturity, and etc. There are no obvious reasons to believe that the success factors of the two groups are identical. Grouping the two groups also raises questions on measuring the system success. The benefits from utilizing the systems may not be commonly distributed to the two groups. One group's benefits might be realized at the expenses of the other group considering the situation where vendors participating in SCM systems are under continuous pressures from the focus companies with respect to prices, quality, and delivery time. Therefore, by combining the system outcomes of both groups we cannot measure the system benefits obtained by each group correctly. Second, the measures of system success adopted in the previous researches have shortcoming in measuring the SCM success. User satisfaction, system utilization, and user attitudes toward the systems are most commonly used success measures in the existing studies. These measures have been developed as proxy variables in the studies of decision support systems (DSS) where the contribution of the systems to the organization performance is very difficult to measure. Unlike the DSS, the SCM systems have more specific goals, such as cost saving, inventory reduction, quality improvement, rapid time, and higher customer service. We maintain that more specific measures can be developed instead of proxy variables in order to measure the system benefits correctly. The purpose of this study is to find the determinants of SCM systems success in the perspective of vendor companies. In developing the research model, we have focused on selecting the success factors appropriate for the vendors through reviewing past researches and on developing more accurate success measures. The variables can be classified into following: technological, organizational, and environmental factors on the basis of TOE (Technology-Organization-Environment) framework. The model consists of three independent variables (competition intensity, top management support, and information system maturity), one mediating variable (collaboration), one moderating variable (government support), and a dependent variable (system success). The systems success measures have been developed to reflect the operational benefits of the SCM systems; improvement in planning and analysis capabilities, faster throughput, cost reduction, task integration, and improved product and customer service. The model has been validated using the survey data collected from 122 vendors participating in the SCM systems in Korea. To test for mediation, one should estimate the hierarchical regression analysis on the collaboration. And moderating effect analysis should estimate the moderated multiple regression, examines the effect of the government support. The result shows that information system maturity and top management support are the most important determinants of SCM system success. Supply chain technologies that standardize data formats and enhance information sharing may be adopted by supply chain leader organization because of the influence of focal company in the private industrial networks in order to streamline transactions and improve inter-organization communication. Specially, the need to develop and sustain an information system maturity will provide the focus and purpose to successfully overcome information system obstacles and resistance to innovation diffusion within the supply chain network organization. The support of top management will help focus efforts toward the realization of inter-organizational benefits and lend credibility to functional managers responsible for its implementation. The active involvement, vision, and direction of high level executives provide the impetus needed to sustain the implementation of SCM. The quality of collaboration relationships also is positively related to outcome variable. Collaboration variable is found to have a mediation effect between on influencing factors and implementation success. Higher levels of inter-organizational collaboration behaviors such as shared planning and flexibility in coordinating activities were found to be strongly linked to the vendors trust in the supply chain network. Government support moderates the effect of the IS maturity, competitive intensity, top management support on collaboration and implementation success of SCM. In general, the vendor companies face substantially greater risks in SCM implementation than the larger companies do because of severe constraints on financial and human resources and limited education on SCM systems. Besides resources, Vendors generally lack computer experience and do not have sufficient internal SCM expertise. For these reasons, government supports may establish requirements for firms doing business with the government or provide incentives to adopt, implementation SCM or practices. Government support provides significant improvements in implementation success of SCM when IS maturity, competitive intensity, top management support and collaboration are low. The environmental characteristic of competition intensity has no direct effect on vendor perspective of SCM system success. But, vendors facing above average competition intensity will have a greater need for changing technology. This suggests that companies trying to implement SCM systems should set up compatible supply chain networks and a high-quality collaboration relationship for implementation and performance.
Much has teed changed in the field of hospital administration in the It wake of the rapid development of sciences, techniques ana systematic hospital management. However, we still have a long way to go in organization, in the quality of hospital employees and hospital equipment and facilities, and in financial support in order to achieve proper hospital management. The above factors greatly effect the ability of hospitals to fulfill their obligation in patient care and nursing services. The purpose of this study is to determine the optimal methods of standardization and quality nursing so as to improve present nursing services through investigations and analyses of various problems concerning nursing administration. This study has been undertaken during the six month period from October 1971 to March 1972. The 41 comprehensive hospitals have been selected iron amongst the 139 in the whole country. These have been categorized according-to the specific purposes of their establishment, such as 7 university hospitals, 18 national or public hospitals, 12 religious hospitals and 4 enterprise ones. The following conclusions have been acquired thus far from information obtained through interviews with nursing directors who are in charge of the nursing administration in each hospital, and further investigations concerning the purposes of establishment, the organization, personnel arrangements, working conditions, practices of service, and budgets of the nursing service department. 1. The nursing administration along with its activities in this country has been uncritical1y adopted from that of the developed countries. It is necessary for us to re-establish a new medical and nursing system which is adequate for our social environments through continuous study and research. 2. The survey shows that the 7 university hospitals were chiefly concerned with education, medical care and research; the 18 national or public hospitals with medical care, public health and charity work; the 2 religious hospitals with medical care, charity and missionary works; and the 4 enterprise hospitals with public health, medical care and charity works. In general, the main purposes of the hospitals were those of charity organizations in the pursuit of medical care, education and public benefits. 3. The survey shows that in general hospital facilities rate 64 per cent and medical care 60 per-cent against a 100 per cent optimum basis in accordance with the medical treatment law and approved criteria for training hospitals. In these respects, university hospitals have achieved the highest standards, followed by religious ones, enterprise ones, and national or public ones in that order. 4. The ages of nursing directors range from 30 to 50. The level of education achieved by most of the directors is that of graduation from a nursing technical high school and a three year nursing junior college; a very few have graduated from college or have taken graduate courses. 5. As for the career tenure of nurses in the hospitals: one-third of the nurses, or 38 per cent, have worked less than one year; those in the category of one year to two represent 24 pet cent. This means that a total of 62 per cent of the career nurses have been practicing their profession for less than two years. Career nurses with over 5 years experience number only 16 per cent: therefore the efficiency of nursing services has been rated very low. 6. As for the standard of education of the nurses: 62 per cent of them have taken a three year course of nursing in junior colleges, and 22 per cent in nursing technical high schools. College graduate nurses come up to only 15 per cent; and those with graduate course only 0.4 per cent. This indicates that most of the nurses are front nursing technical high schools and three year nursing junior colleges. Accordingly, it is advisable that nursing services be divided according to their functions, such as professional, technical nurses and nurse's aides. 7. The survey also shows that the purpose of nursing service administration in the hospitals has been regulated in writing in 74 per cent of the hospitals and not regulated in writing in 26 per cent of the hospitals. The general purposes of nursing are as follows: patient care, assistance in medical care and education. The main purpose of these nursing services is to establish proper operational and personnel management which focus on in-service education. 8. The nursing service departments belong to the medical departments in almost 60 per cent of the hospitals. Even though the nursing service department is formally separated, about 24 per cent of the hospitals regard it as a functional unit in the medical department. Only 5 per cent of the hospitals keep the department as a separate one. To the contrary, approximately 12 per cent of the hospitals have not established a nursing service department at all but surbodinate it to the other department. In this respect, it is required that a new hospital organization be made to acknowledge the independent function of the nursing department. In 76 per cent of the hospitals they have advisory committees under the nursing department, such as a dormitory self·regulating committee, an in-service education committee and a nursing procedure and policy committee. 9. Personnel arrangement and working conditions of nurses 1) The ratio of nurses to patients is as follows: In university hospitals, 1 to 2.9 for hospitalized patients and 1 to 4.0 for out-patients; in religious hospitals, 1 to 2.3 for hospitalized patients and 1 to 5.4 for out-patients. Grouped together this indicates that one nurse covers 2.2 hospitalized patients and 4.3 out-patients on a daily basis. The current medical treatment law stipulates that one nurse should care for 2.5 hospitalized patients or 30.0 out-patients. Therefore the statistics indicate that nursing services are being peformed with an insufficient number of nurses to cover out-patients. The current law concerns the minimum number of nurses and disregards the required number of nurses for operation rooms, recovery rooms, delivery rooms, new-born baby rooms, central supply rooms and emergency rooms. Accordingly, tile medical treatment law has been requested to be amended. 2) The ratio of doctors to nurses: In university hospitals, the ratio is 1 to 1.1; in national of public hospitals, 1 to 0.8; in religious hospitals 1 to 0.5; and in private hospitals 1 to 0.7. The average ratio is 1 to 0.8; generally the ideal ratio is 3 to 1. Since the number of doctors working in hospitals has been recently increasing, the nursing services have consequently teen overloaded, sacrificing the services to the patients. 3) The ratio of nurses to clerical staff is 1 to 0.4. However, the ideal ratio is 5 to 1, that is, 1 to 0.2. This means that clerical personnel far outnumber the nursing staff. 4) The ratio of nurses to nurse's-aides; The average 2.5 to 1 indicates that most of the nursing service are delegated to nurse's-aides owing to the shortage of registered nurses. This is the main cause of the deterioration in the quality of nursing services. It is a real problem in the guest for better nursing services that certain hospitals employ a disproportionate number of nurse's-aides in order to meet financial requirements. 5) As for the working conditions, most of hospitals employ a three-shift day with 8 hours of duty each. However, certain hospitals still use two shifts a day. 6) As for the working environment, most of the hospitals lack welfare and hygienic facilities. 7) The salary basis is the highest in the private university hospitals, with enterprise hospitals next and religious hospitals and national or public ones lowest. 8) Method of employment is made through paper screening, and further that the appointment of nurses is conditional upon the favorable opinion of the nursing directors. 9) The unemployment ratio for one year in 1971 averaged 29 per cent. The reasons for unemployment indicate that the highest is because of marriage up to 40 per cent, and next is because of overseas employment. This high unemployment ratio further causes the deterioration of efficiency in nursing services and supplementary activities. The hospital authorities concerned should take this matter into a jeep consideration in order to reduce unemployment. 10) The importance of in-service education is well recognized and established. 1% has been noted that on the-job nurses. training has been most active, with nursing directors taking charge of the orientation programs of newly employed nurses. However, it is most necessary that a comprehensive study be made of instructors, contents and methods of education with a separate section for in-service education. 10. Nursing services'activities 1) Division of services and job descriptions are urgently required. 81 per rent of the hospitals keep written regulations of services in accordance with nursing service manuals. 19 per cent of the hospitals do not keep written regulations. Most of hospitals delegate to the nursing directors or certain supervisors the power of stipulating service regulations. In 21 per cent of the total hospitals they have policy committees, standardization committees and advisory committees to proceed with the stipulation of regulations. 2) Approximately 81 per cent of the hospitals have service channels in which directors, supervisors, head nurses and staff nurses perform their appropriate services according to the service plans and make up the service reports. In approximately 19 per cent of the hospitals the staff perform their nursing services without utilizing the above channels. 3) In the performance of nursing services, a ward manual is considered the most important one to be utilized in about 32 percent of hospitals. 25 per cent of hospitals indicate they use a kardex; 17 per cent use ward-rounding, and others take advantage of work sheets or coordination with other departments through conferences. 4) In about 78 per cent of hospitals they have records which indicate the status of personnel, and in 22 per cent they have not. 5) It has been advised that morale among nurses may be increased, ensuring more efficient services, by their being able to exchange opinions and views with each other. 6) The satisfactory performance of nursing services rely on the following factors to the degree indicated: approximately 32 per cent to the systematic nursing activities and services; 27 per cent to the head nurses ability for nursing diagnosis; 22 per cent to an effective supervisory system; 16 per cent to the hospital facilities and proper supply, and 3 per cent to effective in·service education. This means that nurses, supervisors, head nurses and directors play the most important roles in the performance of nursing services. 11. About 87 per cent of the hospitals do not have separate budgets for their nursing departments, and only 13 per cent of the hospitals have separate budgets. It is recommended that the planning and execution of the nursing administration be delegated to the pertinent administrators in order to bring about improved proved performances and activities in nursing services.
