Objective : Preoperative prediction of the arachnoid membrane descent in pituitary surgery is useful for achieving gross total removal and avoiding cerebrospinal fluid leakage resulting from tearing of the arachnoid membrane in the chiasmatic cistern. In this study, we analyzed the patterns of arachnoid membrane descent during or after pituitary tumor surgery and identified the factors related to this descent. Methods : Analysis was restricted to pituitary macroadenomas not extending into the third ventricle or over the internal carotid artery. To minimize confounding factors, patients who underwent revision surgery, those who had a torn arachnoid during operation or small medial diaphragma sellae (DS) opening, and subtotal resections were excluded. We enrolled 41 consecutive patients in this retrospective analysis. The degree of arachnoid descent was categorized using intraoperative videos. Preoperative magnetic resonance findings, including tumor height, suprasellar extension, and variables including DS area and medial opening size, tumor composition, and displacement of the pituitary stalk and gland were evaluated to determine their correlations with arachnoid membrane descent. Results : Arachnoid membrane descent was significantly correlated with DS area and medial opening size. Based on T2-weighted images (T2WI) magnetic resonance (MR) images, tumor composition was significantly associated with arachnoid membrane descent. Other factors were not significantly correlated with arachnoid membrane descent. Conclusion : T2WI of tumor composition and preoperative MR imaging of DS area and medial opening provided valuable information regarding arachnoid membrane descent. These parameters may serve as fundamental measures to facilitate complete resection of pituitary macroadenomas.

The guidelines for indoor air quality of public transportations such as subway, train and bus was presented by Korean Ministry of Environment last end of year 2006 based on the great consequence of indoor air quality in daily life. Two main parameters, carbon dioxide($CO_2$) and particulate matters smaller than $10\;{\mu}m(PM_{10})$, were selected as index pollutants for the management of indoor air quality. The former pollutant, $CO_2$, is regarded as index of ventilation status and the major source of $CO_2$ in the train or subway is the exhalation of passengers. It is publically perceived that the high $CO_2$ concentration in a crowded subway will be reduced and ventilated with outdoor air by door-opening taken every 2 or 3 minutes when the train stops each station. However, there has not been any scientific proof and quantitative information on the effect of door-opening on the $CO_2$ reduction by ventilation with outdoor air. In this study, $CO_2$ concentration and number of passengers were measured at each station on the 3 lines of Korail metropolitan subway. In order to evaluate the effect of $CO_2$ reduction by door opening, the theoretical approach using the $CO_2$ balance equation was performed. By comparing the predicted data with monitoring one, the optimum $CO_2$ dilution factor was determined. For the first time, it was quantified that about 35% of $CO_2$ concentration in the subway indoor was removed by the door-opening at each station.

Korean Identification card or driver license is usually used to verify one's identity in Korea. These are also used as an adult certification. Since the form of these ID card is an analog and it needs to be checked with naked eyes, it might be used maliciously. Someone who's got someone else's ID card can do other things. Therefore, it must be reported rapidly when ID card is lost or stolen. The most serious problem might be occurred when they do not recognize and report the loss. They might suffer from pecuniary or mental damage such as opening a mobile phone service, providing loan or credit card, opening a personal checking account, etc. Thus, this study suggests and compares the ways of avoiding these problems. First, the most effective way is to send the authorization code via mobile phones in consideration of build-up period and cost. The person in charge of business processing department using ID card sends the authorization code via registered mobile phone. The owners submits it to the person and their identifications are confirmed. Next effective way is that the person in charge of business processing department using ID card sends text messages via registered mobile phone. Lastly, the most ineffective way is to introduce and implement the electronic ID card ultimately even though it is expensive and takes a long time to build up the system.

In this paper, based on the reference, we try to review the second issues about opening medical market and health care privatization by each topic and propose the measures and alternatives. Currently, in Korea, connection with launch of the WTO system and force of the FTA, the medical industries getting liberalization and globalization. Thus, it is expected to plunge to full-free competition system, and Korean medical institutions started the global competition which completely different dimension. It means that according to the liberalization of the healthcare market the real problem can be caused and also, the incessant discussion and effort for the implementation of international community are needed. Regard to attracting foreign patients and opening medical markets, the government also spreading the continued advancement strategy politically until now. However, generating problems with implication is inevitable and measures and alternatives to it are also needed. In accordance with the opening, the accompanying suggestions is medical privatization, that is, whether the health care pursue the profit not the not-for-profit and the current hospitals in Korea they are leaved as non-profit hospitals and let the make the subsidiary as general commercial enterprises, it seems indirect. However, it is like a healthcare privatization virtually thus, implication seem be large. Of course, through the public opinion and legal reservation, the liberalization and privatization of medical market can be delayed or not forced. It would be not fit in the flow of the inevitable globalization, it can be inhibited national interest and economic development also, and it can be the critical implications which shake the health system and collapse of the domestic health care market.

공공기록물 관리에 관한 법률이 시행되면서 업무과정에 기반을 둔 기록관리체계 도입 기관은 기록관리기준표를 운영해야 한다. 기록물관리기준표는 정부기능분류체계에 기반을 두고 업무설명, 보존기간, 보존기간 책정사유, 비치기록물 해당 여부와 공개여부 및 접근권한 등의 관리기준을 포함하고 있다. 과거에도 이런 기준들은 분산적으로 존재했었지만, 전자기록환경에서 '기록관리기준'이라는 범주로 묶여 더욱 체계적이고 합리적으로 운영되어야 할 필요성이 커졌다. 이 연구에서는 이미 기록관리기준을 도입 운영했던 사례를 살펴보고, 각각의 관리기준을 작성하기 위해서는 어떤 내용과 방법으로 조사가 이루어져야 하는지를 제시하였다. 기록관리기준표를 운영하는 목적과 목표에 따라 제대로 관리기준조사가 이루어지고, 그 결과들이 시스템으로 운영되어야만 기록관리의 일관성을 유지하면서 다이내믹하게 업무와 기록가치의 변화를 반영할 수 있을 것이다.

본 연구의 목적은 정보공개제도 시행 이후 높은 정보 공개율에도 불구하고 국민의 만족도는 이에 상응하지 않는다는 점에 착안하여 결과적 대응성과 실질적 대응성 간의 차이가 있는지를 보고자 하였다. 기존 연구에서는 공개결정과 걸린 시간 등의 결과적 대응성 측면의 분석에 초점을 두었다면, 본 연구는 실질적 측면에서 청구한 정보와 공개된 정보가 얼마나 일치하는지를 확인하고자 하였으며 이는 앞으로 국민의 정보공개청구의 만족도를 높이는 데 있어 가장 중요한 문제일 것이다. 본 연구는 28개 중앙행정기관의 동일한 정보공개청구에 대한 대응성을 분석하였다. 그 결과 실질적 대응성 면에서 청구한 정보와 공개형태가 아닌 다른 정보와 다른 형태의 자료를 공개하여 정확성이 떨어졌고 청구한 정보의 일부 내용이 없거나 내용을 파악할 수 없게 공개하여 공개된 정보의 완전성이 떨어졌다. 기관 특성 가운데 기관 기능 면에서는 국가관리기능이 공개율은 낮았지만, 실질적 대응성 면에서 공개내용은 경제산업기능, 사회문화기능보다 청구내용에 더 가까운 정보를 공개하였다. 결과적 대응성과 실질적 대응성 간에는 차이가 있었는데, 공개결정임에도 불구하고 실제 공개된 내용은 청구한 정보가 아닌 경우도 상당하였고 공개에 여러 날이 소요되었음에도 즉시공개로 판정되어 즉시공개 본래의 취지를 무색하게 하였다. 한편 실질적 대응성을 떨어뜨리는 주된 이유는 문서보존기간의 경과와 자료의 부존재 등 이었다. 따라서 기관의 정보공개에 대한 의지와 함께 공공기관의 기록 생성과 보존의 의무화가 선행되어야 할 것이다. 본 연구는 한정된 사례를 연구대상으로 하였지만 결과적 대응성과 실질적 대응성 간의 차이를 밝혔다는 데 의의가 있을 것이다.

In languages such as Japanese, it is very common to observe that short peripheral vowel are completely voiceless when surrounded by voiceless consonants. This phenomenon has been known as Montreal French, Shanghai Chinese, Greek, and Korean. Traditionally this phenomenon has been described as a phonological rule that either categorically deletes the vowel or changes the [+voice] feature of the vowel to [-voice]. This analysis was supported by Sawashima (1971) and Hirose (1971)'s observation that there are two distinct EMG patterns for voiced and devoiced vowel in Japanese. Close examination of the phonetic evidence based on acoustic data, however, shows that these phonological characterizations are not tenable (Jun & Beckman 1993, 1994). In this paper, we examined the vowel devoicing phenomenon in Korean using data from ENG fiberscopic and acoustic recorders of 100 sentences produced by one Korean speaker. The results show that there is variability in the 'degree of devoicing' in both acoustic and EMG signals, and in the patterns of glottal closing and opening across different devoiced tokens. There seems to be no categorical difference between devoiced and voiced tokens, for either EMG activity events or glottal patterns. All of these observations support the notion that vowel devoicing in Korean can not be described as the result of the application of a phonological rule. Rather, devoicing seems to be a highly variable 'phonetic' process, a more or less subtle variation in the specification of such phonetic metrics as degree and timing of glottal opening, or of associated subglottal pressure or intra-oral airflow associated with concurrent tone and stricture specifications. Some of token-pair comparisons are amenable to an explanation in terms of gestural overlap and undershoot. However, the effect of gestural timing on vocal fold state seems to be a highly nonlinear function of the interaction among specifications for the relative timing of glottal adduction and abduction gestures, of the amplitudes of the overlapped gestures, of aerodynamic conditions created by concurrent oral tonal gestures, and so on. In summary, to understand devoicing, it will be necessary to examine its effect on phonetic representation of events in many parts of the vocal tracts, and at many stages of the speech chain between the motor intent and the acoustic signal that reaches the hearer's ear.

본 연구에서는 급기 가압 제연구역 출입문의 개방력 기준을 실측하여 한국인의 체형에 적합한지 여부를 검증하였다. 개방력 기준의 검증은 기술표준원의 인체표준정보를 근거로 NFSC 501A, NFPA 92A 및 BS-EN 12101-6와 비교하였다. 개방력을 측정할 때 인체의 자세는 일어서서 오른손으로 출입문을 미는 것을 기준으로 하였다. 실측한 값을 분석한 결과 30대 남성 및 여성이 미는 힘의 최대값을 나타냈고, 60대에서 최소값을 나타냈다. 또한 모든 연령에서 미는 힘의 편차가 크게 발생한 것으로 확인되었다. NFSC 501A 와 비교한 결과 남성은 20대, 30대, 50대를 제외한 모든 성별과 연령에서 기준보다 낮은 값을 나타냈다. 또한 NFPA 92A 의 기준과 비교할 때 모든 성별과 연령에서 측정치의 평균이 기준보다 낮다. 그리고 BS-EN 12101-6 의 기준과 비교할 때 남성은 모든 연령에서 기준보다 높았으며, 여성은 모든 연령에서 기준보다 낮은 것으로 측정되었다. 따라서 신체적 조건이 외국인과 다른 한국인의 체형을 고려할 때 현재 적용되고 있는 제연구역 출입문의 개방력의 국내 기준 110 N은 하향 조정할 필요가 있는 것으로 판단된다. 또한 국제 기준을 임의로 사용하는 것도 문제가 있으므로 건축물과 사용자의 특성을 고려한 기준의 적용이 필요하다는 것을 제안하고자 한다.

In order to evaluate the gravity-injection capability to maintain core cooling after a loss-of-shutdown-cooling event during shutdown operation, the plant conditions of the Yong Gwang Units 3&4 were reviewed. The six cases of possible gravity-injection paths from the refueling water tank (RWT) were identified and the thermal-hydraulic analyses were performed using the RELAP5/MOD3.2 code. The core cooling capability was significantly dependent on the gravity-injection path, the RCS opening, and the injection rate. In the cases with the pressurizer manway opening higher than the RWT water level, the coolant was held up in the pressurizer and the system pressure continued increasing after gravity-injection. The gravity injection eventually stopped due to the high system pressure and the core was uncovered. In the cases with the injection path and opening on the same leg side, the core cooling was dependent on whether the water injected from the RWT passed the core region or not. However, in the cases with the injection path and opening on the different leg side, the system was well depressurized after gravity-injection and the core boiling was successfully prevented for a long-term transient. In addition, from the sensitivity study on the gravity-injection flow rate, it was found that about 54 kg/s of injection rate was required to maintain the core cooling and the core cooling could be provided for about 10.6 hours after event with that injection rate from the RWT. Those analysis results would provide useful information to operators coping with the event.
