Technical support of Window XP ended in March, 8, 2014, and it makes OS(Operating System) users fall in a state of confusion. Sudden decision making of OS upgrade and replacement is not a simple problem. Firms need to change the long term capacity plan in enterprise IS management, but they are pressed for time and cost to complete it. Individuals can not help selecting the second best plan, because the following OSs of Window XP are below expectations in performances, new PC sales as the opportunities of OS upgrade decrease, and the potential risk of OS technical support ending had not announced to OS users at the point of purchase. Microsoft as the OS vendors had not presented precaution or remedy for this confusion. Rather, Microsoft announced that the technical support of the other following OSs of Wndow XP such as Window 7 would ended in two years. This conflict between OS vendor and OS users could not happen in one time, but could recur in recent future. Although studies on the ways of OS user protection policy would be needed to escape from this conflict, few prior studies had conducted this issue. This study had challenge to cautiously investigate in such OS user's reactions as the confirmation with OS user's expectation in the point of purchase, three types of justice perception on the treatment of OS vendor, psychological contract violation, satisfaction and the other betrayal behavioral intention in the case of Window XP technical support ending. By adopting the justice perception on this research, and by empirically validating the impact on OS user's reactions, I could suggest the direction of establishing OS user protection policy of OS vendor. Based on the expectation-confirmation theory, the theory of justice, literatures about psychological contract violation, and studies about consumer betrayal behaviors in the perspective of Herzberg(1968)'s dual factor theory, I developed the research model and hypothesis. Expectation-confirmation theory explain that consumers had expectation on the performance of product in the point of sale, and they could satisfied with their purchase behaviors, when the expectation could have confirmed in the point of consumption. The theory of justice in social exchange argues that treatee could be willing to accept the treatment by treater when the three types of justice as distributive, procedural, and interactional justice could be established in treatment. Literatures about psychological contract violation in human behaviors explains that contracter in a side could have the implied contract (also called 'psychological contract') which the contracter in the other side would sincerely execute the contract, and that they are willing to do vengeance behaviors when their contract had unfairly been broken. When the psychological contract of consumers had been broken, consumers feel distrust with the vendors and are willing to decrease such beneficial attitude and behavior as satisfaction, loyalty and repurchase intention. At the same time, consumers feel betrayal and are willing to increase such retributive attitude and behavior as negative word-of-mouth, complain to the vendors, complain to the third parties for consumer protection. We conducted a scenario survey in order to validate our research model at March, 2013, when is the point of news released firstly and when is the point of one year before the acture Window XP technical support ending. We collected the valid data from 238 voluntary participants who are the OS users but had not yet exposed the news of Window OSs technical support ending schedule. The subject had been allocated into two groups and one of two groups had been exposed this news. The data had been analyzed by the MANOVA and PLS. MANOVA results indicate that the OSs technical support ending could significantly decrease all three types of justice perception. PLS results indicated that it could significantly increase psychological contract violation and that this increased psychological contract violation could significantly reduce the trust and increase the perceived betrayal. Then, it could significantly reduce satisfaction, loyalty, and repurchase intention, and it also could significantly increase negative word-of-month intention, complain to the vendor intention, and complain to the third party intention. All hypothesis had been significantly approved. Consequently, OS users feel that the OSs technical support ending is not natural value added service ending, but the violation of the core OS purchase contract, that it could be the posteriori prohibition of OS user's OS usage right, and that it could induce the psychological contract violation of OS users. This study would contributions to introduce the psychological contract violation of the OS users from the OSs technical support ending in IS field, to introduce three types of justice as the antecedents of psychological contract violation, and to empirically validate the impact of psychological contract violation both on the beneficial and retributive behavioral intentions of OS users. For practice, the results of this study could contribute to make more comprehensive OS user protection policy and consumer relationship management practices of OS vendor.

간 전이 암은 이전에는 수술을 통한 외과적 절제가 주요 치료기법이었지만 방사선 치료 기법의 발전으로 인해 점차 방사선치료의 시행이 늘어나고 있다. 18F-FDG PET 영상은 간 전이 암 진단 시 더욱 우세한 민감도와 특이도를 보이며, 치료계획용 CT 영상과 더불어 종양조직의 위치를 정의하는 중요한 영상장비로 자리매김하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 간 전이 암의 18F-FDG PET 영상에 나타난 종양영역을 영상분할기법 적용하였으며 PET영상의 여러 인자들이 영상분할기법들에 미치는 영향을 알아보았다. 2009년부터 2012년까지 방사선 치료를 받은 간전이 환자들 중 18F-FDG PET/CT 촬영을 시행한 13명의 환자들의 치료계획용 CT와 PET/CT 영상을 얻었다. 그 뒤 PET 영상의 관심영역을 설정하기 위하여 3가지 영상 분할 기법인 상대적문턱기법, 기울기기법, 영역성장기법을 적용하였다. 이 결과들을 바탕으로 GTV와 각 영상 기법으로 구현된 종양 영역과 부피 비교를 시행하였으며 영상 분할 기법에 영향을 미치는 영상인자들과의 관계를 회귀 분석하였다. GTV (Gross Tumor Volume)의 평균 부피는 $60.9{\pm}65.9$ cc이며, 40% 상대적문턱값 기법은 $22.43{\pm}35.3$ cc, 50% 상대적문턱값 기법은 $10.11{\pm}17.9$ cc, 영역성장기법은 $32.89{\pm}36.8$ cc, 기울기기법은 $30.34{\pm}35.8$ cc로 나타났다. 기존의 GTV와 가장 유사한 영역을 나타낸 영상 분할 기법은 영역성장기법 이었다. 이 영역성장기법에 영향을 미치는 영상인자를 정량적으로 분석하기 위해 표준화 계수 ${\beta}$값을 이용하였으며, GTV의 크기, $TumorSUV_{MAX/MIN}$, $SUV_{max}$, TBR 순으로 나타났다. 이와 같은 PET 영상인자를 반영한 영상 분할 기법을 이용해서 종양 영역을 정의한다면 보다 정확하고 일관성 있는 종양그리기를 수행할 수 있으며 궁극적으로 종양에 최적화된 방사선량을 투여할 수 있을 것이다.

Objective: The purpose of this research was to assess the agreement between job physical risk factor analysis by ergonomists using ergonomic methods and physical examinations made by occupational physicians on the presence of musculoskeletal disorders of the upper extremities. Background: Ergonomics is the systematic application of principles concerned with the design of devices and working conditions for enhancing human capabilities and optimizing working and living conditions. Proper ergonomic design is necessary to prevent injuries and physical and emotional stress. The major types of ergonomic injuries and incidents are cumulative trauma disorders (CTDs), acute strains, sprains, and system failures. Minimization of use of excessive force and awkward postures can help to prevent such injuries Method: Initial data were collected as part of a larger study by the University of Utah Ergonomics and Safety program field data collection teams and medical data collection teams from the Rocky Mountain Center for Occupational and Environmental Health (RMCOEH). Subjects included 173 male and female workers, 83 at Beehive Clothing (a clothing plant), 74 at Autoliv (a plant making air bags for vehicles), and 16 at Deseret Meat (a meat-processing plant). Posture and effort levels were analyzed using a software program developed at the University of Utah (Utah Ergonomic Analysis Tool). The Ergonomic Epicondylitis Model (EEM) was developed to assess the risk of epicondylitis from observable job physical factors. The model considers five job risk factors: (1) intensity of exertion, (2) forearm rotation, (3) wrist posture, (4) elbow compression, and (5) speed of work. Qualitative ratings of these physical factors were determined during video analysis. Personal variables were also investigated to study their relationship with epicondylitis. Logistic regression models were used to determine the association between risk factors and symptoms of epicondyle pain. Results: Results of this study indicate that gender, smoking status, and BMI do have an effect on the risk of epicondylitis but there is not a statistically significant relationship between EEM and epicondylitis. Conclusion: This research studied the relationship between an Ergonomic Epicondylitis Model (EEM) and the occurrence of epicondylitis. The model was not predictive for epicondylitis. However, it is clear that epicondylitis was associated with some individual risk factors such as smoking status, gender, and BMI. Based on the results, future research may discover risk factors that seem to increase the risk of epicondylitis. Application: Although this research used a combination of questionnaire, ergonomic job analysis, and medical job analysis to specifically verify risk factors related to epicondylitis, there are limitations. This research did not have a very large sample size because only 173 subjects were available for this study. Also, it was conducted in only 3 facilities, a plant making air bags for vehicles, a meat-processing plant, and a clothing plant in Utah. If working conditions in other kinds of facilities are considered, results may improve. Therefore, future research should perform analysis with additional subjects in different kinds of facilities. Repetition and duration of a task were not considered as risk factors in this research. These two factors could be associated with epicondylitis so it could be important to include these factors in future research. Psychosocial data and workplace conditions (e.g., low temperature) were also noted during data collection, and could be used to further study the prevalence of epicondylitis. Univariate analysis methods could be used for each variable of EEM. This research was performed using multivariate analysis. Therefore, it was difficult to recognize the different effect of each variable. Basically, the difference between univariate and multivariate analysis is that univariate analysis deals with one predictor variable at a time, whereas multivariate analysis deals with multiple predictor variables combined in a predetermined manner. The univariate analysis could show how each variable is associated with epicondyle pain. This may allow more appropriate weighting factors to be determined and therefore improve the performance of the EEM.

Soybean yield has been low and unstable in Japan and other areas in East Asia, despite long history of cultivation. This is contrasting with consistent increase of yield in North and South America. This presentation tries to describe perspective of breaking stagnation of soybean yield in East Asia, considering the factors of the different yields between regions. Large amount of rainfall with occasional dry-spell in the summer is a nature of monsoon climate and as frequently stated excess water is the factor of low and unstable soybean yield. For example, there exists a great deal of field-to-field variation in yield of 'Tanbaguro' soybean, which is reputed for high market value and thus cultivated intensively and this results in low average yield. According to our field survey, a major portion of yield variation occurs in early growth period. Soybean production on drained paddy fields is also vulnerable to drought stress after flowering. An analysis at the above study site demonstrated a substantial field-to-field variation of canopy transpiration activity in the mid-summer, but the variation of pod-set was not as large as that of early growth. As frequently mentioned by the contest winners of good practice farming, avoidance of excess water problem in the early growth period is of greatest importance. A series of technological development took place in Japan in crop management for stable crop establishment and growth, that includes seed-bed preparation with ridge and/or chisel ploughing, adjustment of seed moisture content, seed treatment with mancozeb+metalaxyl and the water table control system, FOEAS. A unique success is seen in the tidal swamp area in South Sumatra with the Saturated Soil Culture (SSC), which is for managing acidity problem of pyrite soils. In 2016, an average yield of $2.4tha^{-1}$ was recorded for a 450 ha area with SSC (Ghulamahdi 2017, personal communication). This is a sort of raised bed culture and thus the moisture condition is kept markedly stable during growth period. For genetic control, too, many attempts are on-going for better emergence and plant growth after emergence under excess water. There seems to exist two aspects of excess water resistance, one related to phytophthora resistance and the other with better growth under excess water. The improvement for the latter is particularly challenging and genomic approach is expected to be effectively utilized. The crop model simulation would estimate/evaluate the impact of environmental and genetic factors. But comprehensive crop models for soybean are mainly for cultivations on upland fields and crop response to excess water is not fully accounted for. A soybean model for production on drained paddy fields under monsoon climate is demanded to coordinate technological development under changing climate. We recently recognized that the yield potential of recent US cultivars is greater than that of Japanese cultivars and this also may be responsible for different yield trends. Cultivar comparisons proved that higher yields are associated with greater biomass production specifically during early seed filling, in which high and well sustained activity of leaf gas exchange is related. In fact, the leaf stomatal conductance is considered to have been improved during last a couple of decades in the USA through selections for high yield in several crop species. It is suspected that priority to product quality of soybean as food crop, especially large seed size in Japan, did not allow efficient improvement of productivity. We also recently found a substantial variation of yielding performance under an environment of Indonesia among divergent cultivars from tropical and temperate regions through in a part biomass productivity. Gas exchange activity again seems to be involved. Unlike in North America where transpiration adjustment is considered necessary to avoid terminal drought, under the monsoon climate with wet summer plants with higher activity of gas exchange than current level might be advantageous. In order to explore higher or better-adjusted canopy function, the methodological development is demanded for canopy-level evaluation of transpiration activity. The stagnation of soybean yield would be broken through controlling variable water environment and breeding efforts to improve the quality-oriented cultivars for stable and high yield.

본 연구는 친환경 한우생산을 위해 다양한 원료사료의 선택 및 구성비율 변경을 통해 메탄 저감용 사료배합비의 작성 및 적정 사육밀도에 관한 연구를 규명하기 위하여 실시하였다. 본 연구의 메탄 저감용 사료배합에 활용한 원료사료는 파쇄 옥수수와 알팔파 외 21종이었다. 또한 적정 사육밀도를 조사하기 위한 공시동물은 평균 체중 150 kg의 한우 송아지 12두를 선정하여 4개월간 실험을 수행하였다. TMR 1, 2, 3에 비해 TMR 4에서 약 3~4배정도 낮은 메탄가스 발생량을 보였으며, 사료가격에서도 저렴한 결과를 보였다. TMR 4는 TMR 1, 2 및 3에 비해 건물 소실율에서 낮은 경향을 보였으며, 메탄생성량은 24~37%정도 감소하는 결과를 보였다. 한편, 한우 육성우의 적정 사육밀도 실험에서 저밀도 ($18m^2/head$) 및 일반 처리구 ($9m^2/head$)는 과밀도 처리구 ($6m^2/head$)에 비해 총 증체량, 일당증체량 및 사료요구율이 개선되는 결과를 보였다. 또한 건강과 질병에 관련된 혈액성분에서 저밀도 및 일반 처리구는 영양대사 및 건강에 관련된 total protein, glucose, AST, ALT 및 GGT 농도가 과밀도 처리구에 비해 효과적으로 개선되는 결과를 보였다. 체위 발육(development of body size)의 경우 저밀도 및 일반 처리구의 체중, 흉폭, 요각폭 및 곤폭은 고밀도 처리구에 비해 현저하게 증가하였으며, 특히, 저밀도 처리구는 일반 처리구보다 체위발육이 우수한 결과를 보였다. 그리고 저밀도 및 일반 처리구는 고밀도 처리구에 비해 깔짚의 수분 함량, 대장균 및 콕시듐의 조절에서도 긍정적인 결과를 보였다. 이와같이 한우 육성우의 적정 사육밀도는 두당 $6m^2$ 이상이 바람직한 것으로 판단된다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 원료사료의 선택 및 구성비율 변경을 통해 메탄 생성량을 저감시킬 수 있는 가능성을 사료자원의 배합비 조정으로 메탄 저감용 사료생산의 가능성을 제시하였으며, 사육밀도는 한우의 성장과 발육에 중요한 요인임을 알 수 있었다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 적절한 원료사료의 선택 및 구성비율 변경을 통해 메탄 발생량 조절의 가능성을 제시하였으며, 사육밀도는 한우의 성장과 발육에 중요한 요인임을 확인할 수 있었다.

경호요원들이 훌륭한 권총사격술을 하기 위해서는 여러 가지 중요한 요소들이 있겠지만 신속하고 정확한 사격을 위해서 가장 중요한 요소가 바로 조준방식을 어떻게 하느냐에 달렸다. 권총 사격 시 조준하는 시간이 상대적으로 많이 소요되기 때문에 조준방식에 변화를 주면 권총사격술에 많은 향상이 있으리라 예상된다. 하지만 우리나라 대부분의 국가기관 교육기관에서는 권총 사격 조준 시 가늠쇠, 가늠쇠를 교차 시켜 표적에 일치 시키는 기본적 조준 방식을 주로 가르친다. 즉 정지된 표적에 대한 조준 방식만 가르치는 것이다. 우리나라의 일부 기관이나 우리보다 총기의 사용빈도나 역사가 오래된 해외에서는 다른 조준방식들도 교육시키고 있다. 가늠쇠만 가지고 조준하는 방식과 지향조준방식을 대표적으로 교육시키는데 이 조준방법들은 대부분 움직이는 표적에 대하여 좋은 결과를 나타낼 것이라 판단되어지기 때문이다. 그 이유는 기본조준방식은 가늠쇠와 가늠자를 교차시켜 표적에 다시 일치시켜야 하는 단계에서 다른 조준방법보다 많은 시간이 소요될 것이기 때문에 다른 두 조준방식이 신속성과 정확성이 요구되는 현장에서 보다 좋은 결과를 나타낼 것이기 때문이다. 이에 국내 국가기관 중 권총사격에 익숙한 집단인 P국가기관요원들을 20명 선발하여 측정한 결과, 근거리인 5m에서는 지향조준방법이 가장 우수한 결과를 나타냈다. 또한 권총으로써 비교적 원거리인 15m에서는 정확성만 따지고 봤을 때는 기본조준방식이 가장 우수하였으나 통계적 결과분석을 비추어 볼 때 가장 우수한 조준방식은 지향 조준방식으로 판명되었다.

Background: Cardiac arrest is one of the most critical diseases which can likely lead to severe cerebral disability or brain death when the cases can not recover their circulation within 10 minutes. Saving out-of-hospital cardiac arrest cases is a recent concern in Korea. Resuscitation has become an important multidisciplinary branch of medicine, demanding a spectrum of skills and attracting a plethora of specialities and organizations. The best survival can be achieved if all the following links have been optimized : rapid access, and early CPR, defibrillation and ACLS, Since the "Utstein Style" was advocated in 1991, many reports about out-of-hospital cardiac arrest have been published based on this guideline. These differences prevent valid inter-hospital and international comparisons. However, it is not known how effective resuscitation has become to the patients. In other words, there are no guidelines for reviewing, reporting, and conducting research on resuscitation in Korea. This dissertation aims to provide the basic data for a unified reporting guideline of resuscitation in Korea and evaluating the out-of-hospital factors associated with survival discharge of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest. Methods: As for this study, uses the collected data about Out-of-hospital cardiac arrests at 4 area, from January, 2005 to April. 2005. With a retrospective study, 174 cases were analyzed. The data was recorded based on the Out-of-Hospital Utstein Style. Results: Resuscitation was performed on 174 out-of-hospital cardiac arrest cases at the 4 area 14 patients(8.1%) recovered their spontaneous circulation. Overall, the ROSC of the out-of-hospital cardiac arrest patients was 8.1%, which was poorer than that of western countries. Gender distribution was 50 females(28.7%) and 124 males(71.3%), approximately twice as many males as females. ROSC of witnessed arrests was found out to be 97.7%. The ratio of the witnessed arrest groups showed higher results than that of unwitnessed arrest groups in the above-examined cases. Cardiac etiology consisted of cardiac(33.5%), non-cardiac(45.7%), trauma(20.1%), and unknown(6.0%). Cardiac was the best performance. Initial rhythm showed Ventricular Tachycardia/pulseless Ventricular Fibrillation in 8 patients(6.0%), asystole in 100(75.2%) and unknown in 25(18.8%). The results of the Ventricular Tachycardia/pulseless Ventricular Fibrillation showed higher results than the others cases, The proportion of the cardiogenic cause was 33.5%, which was only half of western countries. Ventricular Tachycardia/pulseless Ventricular Fibrillation is relatively rare. These differences were due to the prevalent pattern of Out-of-hospital cardiac arrest as well as prematurity of the EMSS. Bystander CPR was practiced on 13 patients(7.52%). ROSC was shown in 46.2% cases. CPR by EMT was carried out on 167 cases(96.5%). ACLS by EMf was rare. From collapse, 4 cases(2.6%) arrived to ED within 6 minutes. 13 (8.6%) within 10 minutes, and 49(32.5%) over 31 minutes. The sooner the patients arrived, the greater the ratio of ROSC and discharged alive became, and the same with collapse time to ROSC. As the results of the logistic regression analysis, ROSC was found out to be highly influenced by the time of ED arrival from collapse and Ventricular Tachycardia/pulseless Ventricular Fibrillation. Therefore, the ratio of ROSC depends on not any single factor but various intervention factors. Conclusion: This dissertation presents the following suggestions and directions of the study hereafter. First, the first step for a chain of survival should be taken to activate EMSS early with a phone as soon as cardiac arrests are witnessed. Second, it is keenly needed that emergency medical technicians should be increased through emergency education for living. Third, it is necessary to establish the emergency transportation system. Fourth, most of the Koreans have little understanding of EMT and the present operation systems have many problems, which should be fundamentally changed. Fifth, it is required to have an active medical control over Out-of-hospital CPR, And proper psychological supports should be given not only to patients themselves and their family but also individuals who are engaged in emergency situation. Finally, through studies hereafter on nationwide, comprehensive, and standard forms, it is needed to examine into the biological figures of human body, causes and trends of cardiac arrests, and then, to enhance the survival rate of Out-of-hospital cardiac arrests. Korean guidelines for Cardiopulmonary resuscitation need to be made.
