This study attempts to analyze the factor affecting the intention of turnover among hospital medical technicians. Data was collected from 125 employees in a seven hospital and one clinic located in Kyung-gi Do, Korea, using a self-administered questionnaire. Self-administered questionnaire were given to study the hospital and socioeconomic characteristics, working conditions, job satisfaction level, and the reasons for turnover among the hospital medical technicians. The major finding were as follows; 1. Job position had a statistically significant relationship with intention of turnover to another hospital. According to age, marital status, educational level, the intention of turnover was statistically significant relationships. 2. Hospital characteristics had not a statistically significant relationship with intention of turnover to another hospital. That is, the intention of turnover was generally higher county region and small-sized hospital workers than urban region and large-sized hospital workers. 3. Generally, those who were not satisfied with the opportunity for developing the personal ability and promotional opportunity showed a higher tendency towards to turnover. Also, those who did not sustain good relationship with their superiors and co-workers showed a higher tendency towards to turnover. 4. Those who were had negative attitude on their job showed a higher tendency for turnover. 5. In the result of multiple regression, job position, job satisfaction were significantly related to intention of turnover. The above indicate that job satisfaction and organizational culture to promote their ability and form a good relationship with organization members were very important to decrease the intention of turnover. Since these results represent seven hospitals and one clinics from a limited area, more hospital nationwide, especially small-sized institutions where there is a high turnover rate of employees, need to be examined in order to investigate the various factors that affect the intention of turnover. Due to lack of avaliable research material, the doctors and the nurses group of the hospital haven't been reported in this study. However, this empirical survey of the hospital medical technicians has significant merit.

파밤나방(Spodoptera exigua(Hubner))은 아치사온도(, 2시간)에 노출된 뒤에는 빙점이하의 저온에서 내한성이 증가하였으며 내한성 및 내한성유기는 집단별로 차이가 났다. 파밤나방의 내한성에 관한 생리현상을 분석하기 위해서 내한성이 다른 집단들의 내한성유기, 체내글리세롤 함량, 혈림프의 몰 삼투압 농도, 체내빙결점, 저온유기단백질을 분석하였다. 처리된 5령충은 혈림프의 삼트압 및 체내글리세롤 함량의 뚜렷한 증가를 보였다. 이들 상승효과는 서로 다른 집단간 차이를 보였다. 아치사온도에서 유기되는 저온유기단백질은 10~20 kD에서 특이적으로 발현되었으며 체내빙결점의 변화는 나타나지 않았다.

The present study was carried out to investigate effects of gonadotropin, age of donor, day of estrus cycle gonadotropin injection started and season on embryo production after superovulation in dairy cattles. Embryo collection records were obtained from 177 embryo donor collections from 98 Holstein cows aged from 3 to 9 years during 4 years(1993~1996) at National Livestock Re-search Institute. Superovulation was induced by injections of 3 gonadotropins(FSH-P, FOLLTROPHIN-v* or SUPER-OV*) beginning on days 9 to 14 of the estrus cycle. Em-bryos were collected from donors using a nonsurgical technique on days 6 to 8 after insemi-nation. The results were as follows ;Number of total and freezable embryos per donor cow was affected by gonadotropin(P<0.01). The more number of total and freezable embryos wereobtained by use of FOLLTROPHIN-V (13.2, 7.4) or FSH-P (11.0, 5.7) than SUPER-OV* (5.0, 2.4). Age of donor, the day that gonadotropin was started or season didn't affect total or freezable embryos(P >0.05).

The productivity of a hospital foodservice system has a significant implication in hospital management as costs for labor and material increase, competitions among hospitals increase, and patients' expectations as to the quality of hospital services increase. The foodservice is characterized by its labor intensiveness. The objective of this study was to examine associations between operational and managerial factors and the productivity of dishwashing work in hospital foodservice systems. The labor productivity in 20 conventional food service systems was assessed and related to a number of influencing variables within the system. The productivity measurement was based upon the total dish equivalents as a ratio of the total direct and non-direct labor hours required to wash these dishes. 20 hospitals with more than 500 beds located in Seoul were surveyed to obtain data for study variables. Questionnaire and a survey form were mailed. Statistical methods used in this study were descriptive analysis and Pearson product moment correlation analysis. Hospital system characteristic which was found to correlate significantly with productivity was the ratio of dish loss. As this increased, the productivity level increased.

In-vitro culture has provided new inforrnation on mechanisms of oocytes rnaturation and results obtained in vitro have led to new questions. In porcine, follicular and oocyte size have the crucial importance for the oocytes maturation. The addition of hormones to the culture medium was found to accelerate and facilitate meiotic maturation. The presence of some factors in serum trigger the resumption of meiosis and support the maturation of oocytes in vitro. The maturation rate of porcine oocytes was also increased by supplementation of porcine follicular fluid to the culture medium. The growth factors can stimulate nuclear maturation and enhances cytoplasnic maturation of oocytes by interaction with gonadotropins. The maturation-promoting factor brings about GVBD and the subsequent maturational events in oocytes. However, cAMP can block the spontaneous meiotic maturation of oocytes in culture. The understanding of these influences is a prerequisite to enhancing in vitro maturation of porcine oocytes.

The present study was carried out to investigate the effects of cryoprotectants, equilibration step, freezing rate, culture condition following in vitro fertilization, and age and development stage of embryo by freezing with conventional slow freezing and vitrification on survival of frozen-thawed Korean native cattle(KNC) blastocysts produced in vitro. The KNC blastocysts produced in vitro were equilibrated in 1.8M ethylene glycol or 1.4M glycerol and cooled from -6 to -35 at -0.3 or -O.6 /minute. When equilibrated in 1.8M ethylene glycol, survival rate of fiozen4hawed blastocysts was sarne in both -0. 3 /min and -0.6 /min cooling rate(71.4%). With the equilibration in 1.4M glycerol, survival rate was higher in -0.3 /min(63.6%) than in -0.6 /min cooling rate(53.8%). For vitrification of the KNC blastocysts produced in vitro, they were equilibrated in 2-step or 3-step exposure to vitrification solution(25% ethylene glycol + 25% glycerol). Survival rate was sirilar in both 2-step(45.0%) and 3-step exposure(47.4%). According to culture condition following in vitro fertilization, higher survival rate was obtained for blastocysts co-cultured with bovine oviductal epithelial cell(BOEC, 77.3%) than for those cultured with epidermal growth factor(EGF, 65.7%) or for those co-cultured with BOEG + EGF (54.8%). According to embryo age and development stage, higher survival rate was obtained for 7-day ernbryos(70.0%) than 8-day(56.8%) or 9-day(20.0%) for blastocyst stage and obtained for 8-day embryos(74.3%) than 7-day(62.5%) or 9-day(42.9%) for exponded blastocyst. In surnmary, higher survival rate of frozen4hawed KNC blastocysts produced in vitro were obtained by using ethylene glycol for cryoprotectant and -0.3 /min for cooling rate. And higher survival rate were obtained with co-culture with BOEC for culture condition following in vitro fertilization and with 7-day blastocyst or 8-day expanded blasto cyst for embryo age and development stage.

This study was carried out to evaluate Korean eating behavior which is highly correlated with their nutritional status, and to analyze the effect of various factors on eating behavior. The above information was used to develop a nutritional status for Korea. The 2000 Korean people were selected with the stratified random sampling method. This study used a questionaire as instrument tool. The questionaire consists of :1) socio-demographic characteristics of the subjects; 2) the valuation of food and nutrition; 3) the concern of food and nutrition; 4) psychological health condition; 5) physical health condition; 6) nutrient consumption status and 7) analysis of eating behavior. Data were analyzed by using a SPSS PC Package. Significant differences and correlation among variables were determined by the t-test, 2-test, ANOVA, pearson's correlation coefficient and Multiple regression analysis. The results of this study can be summarized as follow, All nutrient intakes were significantly correlated with eating behavior score(p〈0.001). Factors such as socio-economic status, valuation and concern on food and nutrition, and psychological health condition had significant relationship with eating behavior. But the physical health condition had no significant effect on it. Multiple regression analysis showed that valuation of food and nutrition made the greatest contribution(35.6% explained) and concern made the second greatest contribution(10.5% explained). The third was education level(9.8% explained), and the forth psychological health condition(1.8% explained).
