As international mobility of the high-caliber manpower increases, recruitment of the brain from overseas becomes a critical factor in determining national innovation capacity. This paper reviewed the theories of reverse brain drain, summarized the factors for recruitment of the brain from abroad, and empirically analyzed priority of the factors through the survey on overseas scientists from Vietnam, using conjoint analysis. The results of the analysis shows that high-level salaries, proper research environments, and environment for child education were the important factors. Factors such as scientists respect culture and career development opportunities are not considered important. This paper shows that the exceptionally higher salary should be paid and it also indicates that the policy determination from Vietnam government should be made accordingly.

Objectives : The purpose of this paper is to clarify the social characteristics of the authors of Huangdi Neijing such as status, class, and political ideology. Methods : We analyze the Neijing text and the social order and historical situations in the Han dynasty. Results : Some authors of the Neijing were the local medical officers whose salary was 100~400shi. Their positions were medical craftsmen(yigong) or chief medical craftsmen(yigongchang). They would have published the Neijing after the administrative reforms(146-145 BCE) that began after the suppression of the Rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms. The bureaucrat yigong(chang) would have expected to participate in the public health policy of the empire or kingdom as an acupuncture expert. They would have also expected to contribute to the welfare and health of the privileged intellectual group and the public, hoping to ascend in status and class. Conclusions : By investigating the social characteristics of the authors who composed the Neijing, its various aspects would be newly understood.

The Oil Palm industry has developed tremendously with the increasing of planted area from 54,000 hectaresin 1960 to about 2.28 million hectares in 1995. This is expected to increase further to 2.5 million hectares by the year 2000. However, there has been an increasing difficulty in obtaining sufficient labour for the oil palm plantations. At present , harvesting of oil palm fresh fruit is facing an acute shortage of workforce as the workers are much more attracted to the better working environment and salary in the industrial sector. Harvesting of short palm is easily done by using a chisel attached to a short steel pole. Cutting is done by moving the tool at high speed to the target. The weight of the tool coupled with the speed of throwing will produce enough energy to cut the bunch stalk. In this cutting method, sharpness of the cutting device, weight of tool and the speed of throwing contribute to the efficiency of the tool . For the tall palms, a sickle attached to a ong pole is used and the job is more difficult compared to the short palms. Lifting of pole and cutting jobs require great effort and skills. This paper describes the basic design needs in developing an appropriate device that is practical for field use. A prototype design was developed and tested.

This research aims to find the information concerning nutritional status and food intake in Korean dirt betic men. Thus, the survey was made on 202 NIDDM patients over 35 age at University Hospital. The data were analysed using F-test and mutiple comparison in SAS package program. Main results were as follows : Incidence of diabetes is high in their forties and fifties. Most of them are salary men, administrators, and professionals in middle class, who reside in metropolitan area including Seoul. They used to take light exercise and were founded NIDDM by subjective symptoms. 36.6% of them have other diseases simultaneously such as hypertension, cancer, etc. Food intake pattern prior to incidence was that intake frequency of grains, sugars, protein foods, and liking foods was higher than of processed foods. Amounts of calorie intake were shown to be lower than normal persons, so that it seemed to be controlled by doctors. In addition, the calorie ratio derived from fat was lower than RDA. Thus protein and carbohydrate ratio was relatively higher than RDA. Total moan fatty acid intake was 32.15g and it is no significance among weight groups in various fatty acid intakes. With respect to the physical standards of the diabetic men, weight, PIBW BMI, BMM, 757, arm circumference, and waist /hip ratio were higher than in normal. Therefore it seemed that these factors would be related to the diabetics. From now on, it is required to research the correlations of fatty acid intakes on the diabetes and their influence to serum lipid profiles.

The purpose of this study is to reduce the number of employees hired by Seoul Metropolitan Subway Corporation(SMSC) as a way of responding to deteriorating financial deficit problem. For the reduction, the personnel structure of Seoul Metro Rapid Transit Subway(SMRTS) newly founded in 1995 is benchmarked. Several assumptions are set for seeking the persuasive alternative; 1) no compulsory reduction of existing personnel, 2) raising the salary of SMSC to the same level of SMRTS for compensating intensified work burden, 3) hiring new employees to the amount of one-third of the reduced workforce for minimizing the problems associated with the reduction. The study suggests that the personnel reduction in relevant parts be planned in the following ways; 1) passenger transport part: from daily 3 shifts of 4 group to 2 shifts of 3 group, 2) fleet inspection, civil d: electric engineering, railtrack maintenance, signal parts: from 12 day-off to 10day-off, 3) architecture, AFC parts: from 2 shifts of 3 group to daily work, 4) fleet maintenance, architecture parts: expanding out-sourcing ＆ automation, and 5) headquarter part: 10% reduction of the total of office workers. The study finds, by implementing the plan, that 1,270 employee can be reduced, and that aggregate 106.8 billion won will be saved for the next 10 years.

The number of nurses per bed at acute-stage hospitals is quite low in Korea compared with other OECD countries. In order to prevent the degradation of the quality of inpatient nursing services due to insufficient nurse staffs, the national health insurance introduced the differentiated nursing care fee system. This did not work as a motive for inducing the employment of nursing staff due to insufficient cost compensation. Because of insufficient nursing staff, family members have to stay with the patient or patients have to hire a personal care attendant. This increases the burden and cost to families. For the activation of hospitals without guardians, there should be policies for raising additional nursing staff such as standardizing jobs among nursing staff, particularly between nurses and nursing assistants, setting adequate standards of staffing in nursing according to medical service, substantiating the cost of nursing under the differentiated nursing care fee system, improving the medical fee system of hospitals without guardians including health insurance payment, supplying nursing staff stably through improving their working conditions such as providing child rearing services and salary increase, clarifying the qualification of personal care attendants working at acute.stage hospitals, developing indexes for assessing the quality of nursing care services, and monitoring for the management of uniform quality.

The purpose of this to inquire of the people who run a dental mechanical laboratory having troubles to manage and to find out the reform measures on the point at issue. With having done random sampling for the chiefs of dental mechanical labs across the nation, and then marking the analysis of the data for the survey, I came to a conclusion to be as follow. 1. The operating problems in dental mechanical laboratory in Korea is that it is too near at hand that the requested days for the manufacture of dental prosthesis appliances form dental clinics(45%)(P<0.01) 2. The problem of dental mechanic manpower was due to a small salary and inferior working environment(35% each)(P<0.01) 3. Some of them discount dental mechanical charges in manufacturing dental prosthesis appliances(36.7%)(P<0.01) 4. Many of them employed unlicensed dental technicians(61.7%)(P<0.01) As a counterplan for the aforementioned, I think that the whole dental mechanics should cooperate in breaking off the customary custom to allow a discount on the dental mechanical charges and readjust the dental mechanical charge to a realistic level so as to contribute to the development of the dental mechanical community and the vetterment of the public oral hygience.
