Anatomical changes in the facial and alveolar bones occur after multiple teeth are extracted. In the maxilla, the alveolar bone is absorbed in the direction and inclination of the root, and the remaining alveolar bone becomes shorter, reducing the diameter of the arch. In addition, as the nasolabial angle increases, the support of the lips and the aesthetics of the face are lost. This case reports a functional and aesthetically satisfactory results of full mouth rehabilitation with the implant-supported fixed prosthesis using a zirconia framework.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship among the consumption value and hospital satisfaction and patient caregiver's psychological well-being(PWB) in geriatric hospitals. Data from 355 subjects were collected and analyzed. The findings are as follows. Functional value and emotional value influenced hospital satisfaction positively, while rarity value influenced negatively. Hospital satisfaction influenced patient caregiver's "PWB" positively. And family's support, which had a positive effect on patient 'caregiver's "PWB", played a role in moderating variable between functional value and hospital satisfaction. From this study, the implications of the findings were discussed and hospital management research project that geriatric hospitals should improve hospital satisfaction and "PWB" of patient caregiver was proposed.

Based on risk-benefit theory, this study examined a structural equation model accounting for the mechanisms through which affective perceptions of AI predicting individuals' support for the government's Ai policies. Four perceived characteristics of AI (i.e., usefulness, entertainment value, privacy concern, threat of human replacement) were investigated in relation to perceived benefits/risks, attitudes toward AI, and AI policy support, based on a nationwide sample of South Korea (N=352). The hypothesized model was well supported by the data: Perceived usefulness was a strong predictor of perceived benefit, which in turn predicted attitude and support. Perceived benefit and attitude played significant roles as mediators. Perceived entertainment value along with perceived usefulness and privacy concern predicted attitude, not perceived benefit. Neither attitude nor support was significantly associated with perceived risk which was predicted by privacy concern. Theoretical and practical implications of the results are discussed.

Treatment options for partially edentulous patients are fixed partial denture, removable partial denture and implant supported fixed partial denture. In case of a patient with a few remaining teeth, removable partial denture and implant supported fixed prosthesis are available. For implant fixed prothesis, enough implant fixtures are required and the patient's general condition, local factors and economic status must be considered. When the condition of the abutments and the residual ridge is favorable and the prosthesis is well designed, removable partial denture can be an option. In removable partial denture, the bilateral support is important. If the teeth remain unilateral, harmful stress is put on the abutments by the fulcrum line. In this situation, strategic implantation and implant-retained or assisted removable partial denture is beneficial to the retention and support of the denture. And this can be cost-effective, functional and esthetic choice of treatment. This article describes the prosthodontic rehabilitation of Maxillary Kennedy class I partially edentulous patients. In these two cases, the patients had a small number of teeth and they were restored by the combination of a removable partial denture and dental implants.

This study aimed to examine the model to explain the mediator effect of care evaluation(care stress, care satisfaction) on the effect of stress factors and resource on the psychological well-being of the parents of the adult intellectual disabilities. Examining whether there is a difference between the gender of parents was another aim of this study. Study results showed that with the care stress as an endogenous variable, the daily life function and maladjustment behavior of adult children and the health state of parents had a significant direct effect on the psychological well-being of parents. With care satisfaction as an endogenous variable, family support, expert support and care stress had a significant direct effect. With the psychological well-being as an endogenous variable, care satisfaction and care stress had a significant effect, but the health state of parents didn't. In case of indirect effect, the care stress had a significant mediator effect on the effect of the physical function and maladjustment behavior of adult children and the health state of parents on the psychological well-being of parents. Care satisfaction had a significant mediator effect on the effect of family support, expert support and care stress on the psychological well-being of parents. According to the result of the Multiple Group Analysis, the path showed a statistically significant difference between gender was friend support→care satisfaction, care stress→psychological wellbeing, expert support→care satisfaction. On the basis of the study results, practical suggestions were made.

This study examines the relationships among ego resilience, social support, and psychological well-being of adolescents. In addition, we verify the mediation effect of social support on the relationship between ego resilience and psychological well-being so as to find ways to improve the psychological well-being of adolescents. For this study, I conducted a survey at middle schools in Seoul and Incheon and collected 289 answered questionnaires. For analyses of the survey results, frequency analysis, reliability analysis, correlation analysis, and hierarchical regression analysis were carried out using SPSS 23.0. The results confirmed significant correlations among ego resilience, social support, and psychological well-being of adolescents. Furthermore, social support was found to have a partial mediation effect on the relationship between ego resilience and psychological well-being of adolescents. For improving the psychological well-being of adolescents based on the results of this study, an in-depth counseling program that can strengthen ego resilience in adolescents should be developed and actively used in the education field. Furthermore, various efforts should be made to improve the social support of adolescents, such as the development of a communication program to help students. Specifically, this program should aim to assist students connect with teachers and seniors by strengthening social support from friends and improving the functions of family to provide social and psychological supports.

In Korea, since the systematic efforts to help unmarried mothers are rather limited, the unmarried mother's social relationship is expected to play a critical role in the adjustment of unmarried mothers after the birth of a baby. The purpose of this study is to identify the effect of social relationship on unmarried mother's self-esteem. Especially, this study focused a negative aspect of social relationship, social conflict, which has been ignored by the previous researches. For this study, survey method was employed. The respondents of the questionnaire were 205 unmarried mothers staying at six out of eight institutions for unmarried mothers available in Korea. The multiple regression and other descriptive statistical methods were conducted and the results of analysis are as follows. First, the higher the level of perceived social support was, the higher the level of self-esteem of unmarried mothers was. Second, the higher the level of perceived social conflict was, the lower the level of self-esteem of unmarried mothers was. Third, even though the level of perceived social conflict was much lower than the perceived social support, the effect of social conflict on unmarried mothers' self-esteem was as powerful as the social support. This means that the effect of social conflict also can be very important. These findings suggest a new direction for intervention for unmarried mothers. Until now, the major target of intervention in social relationship was to strengthen existing social support or establish new social support system. Now, in addition to augmenting social support, we should pay attention to removal of social conflict, since it has significantly powerful effect on the adjustment of unmarried mothers.

SOFC는 사용되는 셀의 디자인에 따라 튜브형, 평판형으로 구분되어진다. 평판형의 경우에는 전해질 지지형(ESC), Anode 지지형(ASC) 및 금속 지지형(MSC)로 크게 나눌 수 있다. SOFC 스택은 이와 같은 셀과 밀봉재, 집전체, 분리판의 구성요소를 여러 장으로 적층하여 이루어진다. SOFC 발전시스템은 SOFC 스택과 EBOP, MBOP로 구성되는데, SOFC 발전시스템의 상용화를 위해 선행되어야 할 것은 스택의 안정적 출력 및 신뢰성 확보이다. 즉, 셀, 밀봉재, 분리판 및 집전체로 대변되는 구성요소들이 스택에 장착되었을 때 그 기능을 최대한 발휘하면서도 점진적 또는 급격한 품질저하가 발생되지 말아야 한다. 특히, 밀봉재의 경우 SOFC에 사용되는 연료와 공기의 혼합(Cross-over)을 방지하는 중요한 기능을 담당하고 있으며 여러 장 적층된 분리판의 전기적 단락을 방지해야 한다. 또한 SOFC의 특성상 $700^{\circ}C$ 이상의 고온에서 다른 구성요소와 화학적 반응이 없어야하고 열싸이클(Thermal cycle)을 견딜 수 있도록 충분한 기계적 강도가 보장되어야 하는 등 요구되는 품질기준이 엄격하다. SOFC의 밀봉재는 접합형(Brazing), 압착형(Compressive), 용융-고정형(Glass-ceramic)이 대표적으로 적용되고 있다. 이 중에서 Brazing 물질과 방법은 현재 활발히 연구가 수행 중에 있지만 범용적으로 사용되고 있지는 않은 상태이고 Compressive 밀봉재와 Glass-ceramic 밀봉재가 대면적 SOFC 스택에 사용되어 적용 가능성을 평가받고 있다. 본 연구에서는 SOFC 구성요소의 국산화를 추진하는 지경부과제의 결과물 중 (주)써모텍에서 개발한 Glass-ceramic 밀봉재(RC1) 단품에 대한 특성평가와 실제 단전지 평가를 통해 SOFC 스택 적용 가능성을 평가하였다. 밀봉재 단품에 대한 특성평가는 용융특성, 상분석, 열팽창계수 등의 물리적, 화학적 평가 외에 가스 누설 정도를 평가하는 기밀도 평가와 SOFC의 작동 온도인 $700^{\circ}C$와 상온 분위기를 주기적으로 인가하는 Thermal cycle 특성을 평가하였다. 셀을 한 장 사용하는 단전지(Unit cell) 평가는 RIST에서 자체 제작한 $100{\times}100mm^2$ 평판형 ASC 셀을 사용하여 수행하였으며, 밀봉재는 Dispensing 공정을 통해 구성되었다.

1. The human body is the unification related to the powerful fascial network, I think. 2. Myofascial not only prevent and support the human body structure curdling but also keep the physical balance by dispersing traumatization properly. 3. Myofascial restriction will be developed into muscle deficiency and cause pains without releasing the muscle tension and the spasm. 4. Myofascial restriction affect and change the physical posture by losing the muscle elasticity and flexibility and by losing muscle supporting ability from gravitation. 5. The partial myofascial restriction affect the muscle and the adjoining joint supporting gravitation and cause the unbalance of the entire body.
