Senile Dementia is one of the dispositional mental disorder which has been known to the world since Hippocratic age. It has become a wide-spread social problem all over the world because of chronic disease processes and the demands of dependent care for several years as well as improbability of treatment of it at the causal level. Essentially, life styles of the older generation differ from those of the younger generation. While the fomer is used to the patriarchal system and the spirit of filial piet and respect, the latter is pragmatized and individualized under the effects of the Western material civilization. These differences between the two generations cause conflict between family members. In particular, the pain and conflict of care-givers who take care of a totally dependent dementia patient not only is inciting to the collapse of the family union, but is expanding into a serious social problem. According to this practical difficulty, this study has tried to compare dementia care-givers' experiences inter-culturally and to help set up more proper nursing interventions, describing and explaining them through ethnographies by participant observation and in-depth interviews that enable seeing them in a more close, honest and certain way. It also tries to provide a theoetical model of nusing care for dementia patients which is proper to Korean culture. This study is composed of 12 participants (4 males, 8 females) whose ages range from 37-71 years. The relations of patients are 5 spouses(3 husbands, 2 wives), 4 daughters-in-law, 2 daughters, and 1 son-in-law. The following are the care-givers' meaning of experiences that results of the study shows. The first is "psychological conflict". It contains the minds of getting angry, reproaching, being driven to dispair, blaming oneself, giving up lives, and being afraid, hopeless, and resigned. The second is "physical, social and psychological pressure" . At this stage, care-givers are shown to be under stress of both body and soul for the lack of freedom and tiredness. They also feel constraint because they hardly cope with the care and live through others' eyes. The third is "isolation". It makes the relationship of patient care-giver to be estranged, without understanding each other. They, also, experience indifference such as being upset and left alone. The forth is "acceptance" They gradually have compassion, bear up and then adapt themselves to the circumstances they are in. The fifth is "love". Now they learn to reward the other with love. It is also shown that this stage contains the process of winning others' recognition. The final is "hope". In this stage they really want situations to go smoothly and hope everything will be O.K. These consequences enable us to summarize the principles of cue experience such as, in the early stage, negative response such as physical·psychological confusion, pain and conflict are primary. Then the stage of acceptance emerges. It is an initial positive response phase when care-givers may admit their situations. As time passes by a positive response stage emerges. At last they have love and hope. Three stages we noted above : however, there are never consistent situations. Rather it gradually comes into the stage of acceptance, repeating continuous conflict, pressure and isolation. If any interest and understanding of families or the support of surrounding society lack, it will again be converted to negative responses sooner or later. Otherwise, positive responses like hope and love can be encouraged if the family and the surroundings give active aids and understanding. After all, the principles of dementia care experiences neither stay at any stage, nor develop from negative stages to positive stages steadily. They are cycling systems in which negative responses and positive responses are constantly being converted. I would like to suggest the following based on the above conclusions : First, the systematic and planned education of dementia should be performed in order to enhance public relations. Second, a special medical treatment center which deals with dementia, under government's charge, should be managed. Third, the various studies approaching dementia care experiences result in the development of more reasonable and useful nursing guidelines.

현대사회의 다양한 직업 중에서 경찰공무원의 업무는 힘들고 위험한 직업으로 각종 정신적, 신체적, 환경적 스트레스 발생 가능성이 매우 높다. 스트레스에 대한 대처능력은 평상시 건강 행태 및 영양소 섭취 정도에 따라 사회심리적인 스트레스 상황에 유효하게 대처할 수 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 전북지역 경찰공무원 166명을 대상으로 경찰공무원의 직무스트레스 정도에 따른 식생활 및 영양섭취와의 관계를 조사하였다. 경찰공무원은 주된 직무스트레스 요인으로는 '직무요구', '조직체계' 및 '직무자율성 결여'이었으며, 95% 이상의 대상자들이 본인이 건강하다고 인식하고 있었다. 전체의 86.1% 정도가 음주를 하고, 42.7% 정도 흡연을 하며, 89.6%가 운동을 지속적으로 하여 한국 성인의 평균과 비교하여 비교적 건강행태가 양호한 것으로 나타났으며, 직무스트레스에 따른 음주, 흡연, 운동 빈도의 차이는 보이지 않았다. 식습관 조사 결과 43% 정도가 아침식사를 하는 것으로 나타났고, 직무스트레스가 적은 집단이 높은 집단에 비해 아침 결식 비율도 낮고(p<0.01), 식사 속도도 양호하며(p<0.05), 간식습관도 양호한 것(p<0.001)으로 조사되었다. 직무스트레스에 따른 맛의 기호도는 스트레스가 높은 집단이 단 음식을 덜 선호하는 것으로 나타났다(p<0.05). 직무스트레스 정도에 따라 영양소 섭취정도는 유의한 차이는 없었으나, 스트레스가 높은 집단에서 칼슘 및 비타민 $B_2$ 섭취량이 권장섭취량의 75% 미만으로 매우 불량한 것으로 나타났다. 이상과 같이 경찰공무원의 건강관련 행태 분석 결과 경찰공무원은 직업특성 상 일반성인과 비교하여 건강에 대한 인식 및 흡연, 음주, 운동 등의 생활습관은 비교적 양호한 편으로 나타났으나, 부족한 영양소 섭취, 잦은 아침결식과 간식섭취, 빠른 식사 속도 등 식습관 및 영양 섭취 부분에서는 문제점이 확인되었다. 따라서 건강유지와 만성질환의 발병을 예방하기 위하여 경찰공무원 스스로 올바른 식습관을 인식하고 실천을 유도하기 위한 식생활 개선 교육프로그램이 직장 내에서 주기적으로 이루어져야 하겠으며, 또한 직장 차원에서의 직무스트레스 관리도 병행되어야 할 것으로 사료된다.

This study identified the impact of childhood cancer on the Korean family. The purpose was to contribute knowledge for family nursing and pediatric hospice care practice with sick children and their families. This descriptive study was conducted during a 6 month period with children who were being treated for cancer at six university hospitals in Seoul. The data were gathered from members of 68 families ; 24(Group A), with a child newly diagnosed with cancer : 27(Group B), with a child under treatment and without complications, and 17 (Group C), with a child in relapse. Medical records, structured questionnaires and interviews were used for data collection. The questionnaires and interview schedules had been used previously in Martinson's research in the USA and China. The findings, conclusions, and suggestions are as follows. 1. The impact of childhood cancer on the family. Members of the family experienced fear, helplessness, guilty feelings, and anger at the time of the initial diagnosis and at relapse. Mothers complained of headache, anorexia and poor appetite, weight loss, sleep disturbance, and bad dreams. Many of the fathers either lost or changed jobs, and all working mothers stopped working. Half the parents reported changes in their marital relationships such as frequent quarrels but also stronger unity. Family members perceived cancer as the most frightening disease. Change in their world view was expressed as living on faith understanding suffering, determining to live a better life, wanting to live an upright life and valuing health as the most important. Religious activities are found most helpful through this difficult experience. Financial debt due to the treatment and care of the sick child, burdened 22 families. The above mentioned impact was most evidant in Group B(those presently undergoing treatment) and Group C(those in relapse). Findings indicate that nursing care should embrace the family of a child who is being treated for cancer. 2. Characteristics of the child with cancer The majority of the children in this sample had a diagnosis of leukemia. Their mean age was 6.8 and the ratio of boys to girls was 1.12 ; 1. The mean hospitalization frequency was 13.5 times and the mean duration of illness was 16.8 months. Most of 1.he children perceived cancer as the most frightening disease ; 32.7% of the children described their sickness as serious. Children in Group C were hospitalized more frequently, stayed in hospital for longer periods, and expressed their sickness as quite serious more often than the other two groups. These findings indicate how much comprehensive pediatric hospice nursing care services are needed along with relevant research and nursing education. 3. Characteristics of the families. The mean age of the father was 39.5 and the mother, 36,6 ; they are in their most productive life period. Mothers especially expressed feelings of financial uneasiness and powerlessness about giving up their jobs, and guilty feelings for not providing enough care and concern to other children due to taking care of the sick one. The burden of caring for the sick child can bring negative changes in family dynamics which they think provoke potential health problems in members of the family These findings suggest a need for nursing support and counselling resources. Findings also suggest the need for ethical inquiry about such questions as who should give information to the child in regard to diagnosis and prognosis, when, and how. Other suggestions included : 1) Quality health care for childhood cancer such as home care and pediatric hospice programs should be established. 2) Special and practical consideration for long-term patients should be made in the present insurance coverage. The reimbursement period for long-term patients should be lengthened. 3) Further in-depth qualitative studies are needed. 4) Education programs including guided practice experience for pediatric hospice care practitioners are needed.

The National Defense Reformation bill of "National Defense Reformation 2020" which have been constantly disputed and reformed by the government went through various levels of complementary measures after the North Korean sinking on the Republic of Korea (ROK) Naval Vessel "Cheonan". The final outcome of this reform is also known as the 307 Plan and this was announced on the 8th March. The reformed National Defense Reformation is to reduce the number of units and military personnel under the military structure reformation. However, in order for us to undertake successful National Defense Reformation, the use of privatized civilian resources are essential. Therefore according to this theory, the ROK Ministry of National Defense (MND) have selected the usage of privatized resources as one of the main core agenda for the National Defense Reformation management procedures, and under this agenda the MND plans to further expand the usage of private Especially the MND plans to minimize the personnel resources applied in non-combat areas and in turn use these supplemented personnel with optimization. In order to do this, the MND have initiated necessary appropriate analysis over the whole national defense section by understanding various projects and acquisition requests required by each militaries and civilian research institutions. However for efficient management of privatized civilian resources, first of all, those possible efficient private resources which can achieve optimization will need to be identified, and secondly continuous systematic reinforcements will need to be made in private resource usage legislations. Furthermore, we would need to consider the possibility of labor disputes because of privatization expansion. Therefore, full legal and systematic complementary measures are required in all possible issue arising areas which can affect the combat readiness posture. There is another problem of huge increase in operational expenses as reduction of standby forces are only reducing the number of soldiers and filling these numbers with more cost expensive commissioned officers. However, to overcome this problem, we would need to reduce the number of positions available for active officers and fill these positions with military reserve personnel who previously had working experiences with the related positions (thereby guaranteeing active officers re-employment after completing active service). This would in tum maintain the standards of combat readiness posture and reduce necessary financial budgets which may newly arise. The area of maintenance, supply, transportation, training & education duties which are highly efficient when using privatized resources, will need to be transformed from military management based to civilian management based system. For maintenance, this can be processed by integrating National Maintenance Support System. In order for us to undertake this procedure, we would need to develop maintenance units which are possible to be privatized and this will in turn reduce the military personnel executing job duties, improve service quality and prevent duplicate investments etc. For supply area, we will need to establish Integrated Military Logistics Center in-connection with national and civilian logistics system. This will in turn reduce the logistics time frame as well as required personnel and equipments. In terms of transportation, we will need to further expand the renting and leasing system. This will need to be executed by integrating the National Defense Transportation Information System which will in turn reduce the required personnel and financial budgets. Finally for training and education, retired military personnel can be employed as training instructors and at the military academy, further expansion in the number of civilian professors can be employed in-connection with National Defense Reformation. In other words, more active privatized civilian resources will need to be managed and used for National Defense Reformation.

본 논문은 주가지수 선물과 옵션의 만기일이 주식시장에 어떠한 영향을 미치는가에 대한 분석을 통해 한국주식시장에서 만기일 효과가 존재하는지를 검증한다. 주가지수를 이용한 기존의 논문과는 달리 만기일에 현물 주식시장의 움직임을 개별 종목별로 분석했다는 점에서 본 논문은 차별성을 지닌다. 주가지수는 시장 움직임의 평균으로 개별 종목의 고유한 특성을 반영하지 못하기 때문에 주가지수를 이용한 분석은 만기일 효과를 해석하고 그 원인을 분석하는데 한계를 지니고 있다. 분석 결과 한국주식시장에서 선물 만기일 효과는 분명히 존재하지만, 옵션 만기일 효과는 뚜렷하지 않은 것으로 드러났다. 선물 만기일에 KOSPI 200 지수와 개별 종목은 가격상승 압력이 존재하고, 변동성과 거래량이 증가하며, 만기일 다음날 수익률은 반전하는 경향이 있는 것으로 나타났다. 그러나 비교표본인 NON-KOSPI 200 지수와 개별 종목에서 만기일 효과가 존재한다고 할 만한 증거를 찾지 못했다. 만기일 효과가 시장 전체적으로 나타나는 것처럼 보이지만 KOSPI 200에 속하는 대규모 기업에 한정되며, 장 후반에 집중적으로 나타난다는 사실은 프로그램 매매와 만기일의 결제제도가 만기일 효과의 간접적 원인임을 시사한다. 또한 만기일 다음날 가격이 반전하는 현상이 KOSPI 200에 속하는 대규모 기업에 한정되어 나타나는 사실은 만기일 효과가 새로운 정보의 반영에 의한 정보 효과(information effects)가 아니라 일시적 거래불균형에 의한 유동성 효과(liquidity effects)임을 보여주는 증거가 된다.

시설재배지 내에서의 친환경농자재는 작물보호를 위하여 사용하기도 하고 작물의 생육을 도와주는 역할을 위해 사용되기도 한다. 친환경농자재는 각종 해충을 방제하기 위하여 사용되는 천적들과 중복 사용될 수도 있다. 이때 친환경농자재가 이러한 천적들에 미칠 수 있는 영향을 평가하였다. 본 실험에 사용된 친환경농자재는 천적곤충에 영향을 많이 주는 것으로 보고된 10개를 선발하여 소형포장과 농가포장에서 평가하였다. 먼저 무당벌레 유충에 미치는 영향을 보면, 친환경농자재를 사용하지 않은 무처리구에서는 무당벌레의 목화진딧물 포식활동이 잘 이루어지고 있지만, EFAMMo L과 EFAMPE D, EFAMME G, EFAMAE A등을 처리한 구에서는 무당벌레의 포식활동이 이루어지지 않아서 진딧물의 개체수가 현저히 증가함을 알 수 있다. 온실가루이좀벌의 경우에, 친환경농자재를 살포한 시험구에서는 전체적으로 온실가루이 약충과 온실가루이좀벌 머미의 개체수가 조금씩 감소하였으며, 특히 IEFAM C, FEFAM D, EFAMSM B, EFAMPE D 등을 처리한 시험구에서 온실가루이좀벌 머미의 수가 무처리구에 비하여 현저히 적은 것을 알 수 있었다 반면에 EFAMMo C를 살포한 처리구의 경우에는 온실가루이를 거의 찾아볼 수 없을 정도로 온실가루이에 대하여 방제효과를 나타내고 있었다. 소포장에서 콜레마니진디 벌의 기생률을 검토한 결과 친환경농자재를 뿌린 구역보다는 무처리구에서의 기생률이 높았다. IEFAM C, FEFAM D, EFAMPE D, EFAMMo L 등을 살포한 구역에서 특히 낮은 기생률을 나타내었다. 잎굴파리좀 벌의 외부기생 머미가 방사 후 1주일 후부터 2주 후까지도 많이 관찰되었지만 처리구와 무처리구 사이의 통계적인 유의성은 없었다. FAMMo C는 점박이응애, 칠레이리응애 모두 개체수를 감소시켰다. EFAMMo L은 점박이응애에는 피해를 주지 않은 반면에, 칠레이리응애의 개체수는 많이 감소하였다.

본 연구에서는 생물다양성 보전에 있어 보호지역의 중요성을 인식하고, 2004년 생물다양성협약 제7차 당사국회의에서 채택한 보호지역 실행프로그램의 이행상황을 진단하고 향후 개선방향을 모색하고자 하였다. 이를 위해 먼저 국내 보호지역 지정 및 관리 현황을 고찰하였으며, 보호지역 실행프로그램에서 제시하고 있는 9개 주제별로 목적과 활동내용을 국가적 맥락에서 검토하였다. 그리고 구체적인 이행사항 파악을 위해 우리나라 대표적 보호지역이라고 할 수 있는 국립공원의 관리 현황을 사례로 이행 진행사항을 비교 분석하였다. 먼저 국내 보호지역 지정 및 관리 현황을 고찰한 결과 우리나라는 1960년대 이후 보호지역을 지정하기 시작하였으며, 대략 14개 유형의 1,119개소로 층 면적은 개략적인 수치이지만 대략 $15,621km^2$에 이르는 것으로 나타났다. 보호지역 실행프로그램에서는 보호지역과 관련된 다양한 이행활동(4개 요소, 9개 주제, 16개 목적, 92개 활동)을 제시하고 있는데, 우리나라의 이행상황을 살펴본 결과 개별 보호지역의 계획 및 관리 분야, 보호지역에 대한 위협 방지와 완화, 보호지역 시스템 설정 분야는 상당부분 실행프로그램을 이행하였거나 진행 중인 것으로 나타났으며, 보호지역의 사회적 혜택 개선, 재정적 지속가능성, 관리표준과 관리효과성 평가 분야가 상대적으로 이행이 미흡한 것으로 나타났다. 특히 보호지역 실행프로그램의 이행활동을 시간제한 관점에서 보면 생물다양성과 생태계 보전을 위한 격차분석, 생태계 서비스의 가치에 대한 연구, 관리효과성 평가방법 및 기준개발 등이 시급한 것으로 판단된다. 본 연구 결과는 우리나라 보호지역의 지정 및 관리 현황에 대한 체계적 이해를 도울 수 있을 것이며, 향후 생물다양성협약 국가보고서와 보호지역 실행프로그램 이행보고서 작성을 위한 기초자료로 활용될 수 있을 것이다. 향후 보호지역 실행프로그램의 생물다양성 손실률의 획기적 감소라는 목표를 달성하기 위해서는, 국가차원에서의 체계적인 접근과 보호지역 관련 유관기관들이 수립한 여러 계획들의 충실한 수행이 수반되어야 할 것이다.

IFRS에 따른 재무제표 작성은 연결재무제표의 주재무제표화, 원칙중심의 회계처리기준 등으로 인해 재무제표 본문의 간략화 및 다양화, 상세내역 및 비재무사항 주석기재 요구량 증대 등 공시 전반에 걸친 중요성이 높아지고 있다. 한편 K-IFRS체제하의 적정공시 방향에 대한 기존의 연구와 검토들은 IFRS 전면도입의 당위론적 배경과 제도변화 초기상황이라는 시기적 요인에 따라 기준제정기구나 감독기관 중심으로 공시요구사항 증대나 정보의 완전성(completeness) 측면에 초점을 두고 전개되어 온 것이 사실이다. 이에, 본 연구는 기존의 접근에 더하여 보고기업 및 정보이용자의 관점에서 보다 균형적인 IFRS 적용에 따른 적정공시 방향성을 도출하고자 하였다. 먼저 주요기업 재무공시 실태 검토 결과, 2010년, 2011년 재무공시에서 다수의 미준수사항 또는 권고할 사항이 지적되었다. 이러한 원인으로는 IFRS 기준의 성격에 따른 문제, 업종별 기업별 특성에 따른 문제, IFRS 도입비용 및 촉박한 공시기한 등 공시기업의 부담 측면이 지적될 수 있으며, 이는 정보이용자 입장에서의 이해가능성 및 활용도, 비교가능성 저하를 일으키는 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 실태의 개선을 위해, 제도의 완화/지원 측면에서 적용대상 기업의 추가 세분화 필요성 검토, 주석공시 내용과 범위 조정, 공시시기 조정 및 다원화, 공시환경 및 인센티브 지원 방안이 제안되었으며, 공시요구 강화 측면에서 기업, 정보이용자 참여비중 확대를 반영한 K-IFRS 제정체계 개선과 표준화된 세부양식 정의 및 적용의무화 필요성이 제시되었다.

This paper empirically examines factors that potentially influence the success of a Web-based semantic search engine. A research model has been proposed that shows the impact of quality-related factors upon the effectiveness of a semantic search engine, based on DeLone and McLean's(2003) information systems success model. An empirical study has been conducted to test hypotheses formulated around the research model, and statistical methods were applied to analyze gathered data and draw conclusions. Implications for academics and practitioners are offered based on the findings of the study. The proposed model includes three quality dimensions of a Web-based semantic search engine-namely, information quality, system quality and service quality. These three dimensions each have measures designed to collectively assess the respective dimension. The model is intended to examine the relationship between measures of these quality dimensions and measures of two dependent constructs, including individuals' net benefit and user satisfaction. Individuals' net benefit was measured by the extent to which the user's information needs were adequately met, whereas user satisfaction was measured by a combination of the perceived satisfaction with search results and the perceived satisfaction with the overall system. A total of 23 hypotheses have been formulated around the model, and a questionnaire survey has been conducted using a functional semantic search website created by KT and Hakia, so as to collect data to validate the model. Copies of a questionnaire form were handed out in person to 160 research associates and employees working in the area of designing and developing semantic search engines. Those who received the form, 148 respondents returned valid responses. The survey form asked respondents to use the given website to answer questions concerning the system. The results of the empirical study have indicated that, of the three quality dimensions, information quality was found to have the strongest association with the effectiveness of a Web-based semantic search engine. This finding is consistent with the observation in the literature that the aspects of the information quality should serve as a basis for evaluating the search outcomes from a semantic search engine. Measures under the information quality dimension that have a positive effect on informational gratification and user satisfaction were found to be recall and currency. Under the system quality dimension, response time and interactivity, were positively related to informational gratification. On the other hand, only one measure under the service quality dimension, reliability was found to have a positive relationship with user satisfaction. The results were based on the seven hypotheses that have been accepted. One may wonder why 15 out of the 23 hypotheses have been rejected and question the theoretical soundness of the model. However, the correlations between independent variables and dependent variables came out to be fairly high. This suggests that the structural equation model yielded results inconsistent with those of coefficient analysis, because the structural equation model intends to examine the relationship among independent variables as well as the relationship between independent variables and dependent variables. The findings offer some useful implications for owners of a semantic search engine, as far as the design and maintenance of the website is concerned. First, the system should be designed to respond to the user's query as fast as possible. Also it should be designed to support the search process by recommending, revising, and choosing a search query, so as to maximize users' interactions with the system. Second, the system should present search results with maximum recall and currency to effectively meet the users' expectations. Third, it should be capable of providing online services in a reliable and trustworthy manner. Finally, effective increase in user satisfaction requires the improvement of quality factors associated with a semantic search engine, which would in turn help increase the informational gratification for users. The proposed model can serve as a useful framework for measuring the success of a Web-based semantic search engine. Applying the search engine success framework to the measurement of search engine effectiveness has the potential to provide an outline of what areas of a semantic search engine needs improvement, in order to better meet information needs of users. Further research will be needed to make this idea a reality.
