Low flow is a minimum flow discharging during a dry season in a unregulated stream which can be shared by nature and human being. It is also a standard flow that determines a diversion requirement by evaluating water supply ability of streamflow in the aspect of water use. Low flow indices are used as average low flow and 1-day 10-year low flow in Korea and Japan and as 7-day 10-year low flow in the United States of America and the United Kingdom. In this research, these three indices were compared by the data observed and generated. Although daily records are needed to calculate the low flow, gauging stations are limited and records of the dry season are insufficient in Korea. Drainage-area ratio method is mainly used in Korea to estimate the low flow. This research shows the guideline when the drainage-area ratio method, the regional regression method, and the baseflow correlation method to calculate the low flow of ungauged basins are applied and recommends low flow estimation method suitable to Korea.

This Thesis analyzes the two forms of Confucian Golden Rule(Shu恕) that were proposed by Zhu Xi朱熹 and Dai Zhen戴震 each other, and researches their ethical significances. Zhu Xi don't regards Shu as universal ethics by itself, while Dai Zhen identify Shu as the ground of universal ethics, According to this thesis, Zhu Xi thought that Shu has a danger of immoral misusage in some situation because Shu is so simplistic form of identification. Because this, Zhu Xi, for the purpose of blocking arbitrary misusage of Shu and holding universality of ethics, suggests that moral sincerity(Zhong忠) of subject is necessary to practice of Shu. Dai Zhen, however, criticizes Zhu Xi's Ethical Structure. In Dai Zhen's view, Zhu xi's idea that the subject has to establish his own morality through Zhong before practice Shu cannot make him escape from subjectivity necessarily. In this point, Dai Zhen revive Shu. His Shu concept means the reciprocity of human desires to each other. But Dai Zhen's idea, as Zhu Xi worried, has a danger of immoral misusage in some situation. On this problem, this thesis elucidates that Dai Zhen' desire concept is not individual various desires but is common basic desires of existence, thereby attests that Dai Zhen's Shu is safe from immoral misusage. This thesis claim that even if Zhu Xi's and Dai Zhen's position is so different, the ethical aims of two scholars is same. They both attempted to overcome the evil of subjectivism and to procure universality of ethics, furthermore to accomplish social fairness. Consequently, this thesis claims that two scholars both walked in same way because both wanted to establish the universality of Shu and to pursue realization of social fairness.

Color rings have been commonly and widely used in many ecological and ornithological studies in the field, but color ring-induced injury in passerines is poorly documented. In this report, we describe the first case of toe loss caused by a dislocated split Darvic ring in a Pale Thrush (Turdus pallidus) that was recaptured 596 days after its initial capture and release on Hong-do Island, the Republic of Korea. We also found that a left hind toe of a Light-vented Bulbul (Pycnonotus sinensis) was entrapped by a split color ring when the bird was observed 135 days after the marking at Heuksan-do Island. Based on these two cases out of the 1,900 color ringed birds, we emphasize a precautionary approach following general guidelines in the application and use of color leg rings for future studies.

A company's private network protected by a firewall and NAT(Network Address Translation) is not accessible directly through an external internet. However, as Reverse Connection technology used by NetCat extends to the technologies such as SSH Tunnel or HTTP Tunnel, now anyone can easily access a private network of corporation protected by a firewall and NAT. Furthermore, while these kinds of technologies are commercially stretching out to various services such as a remote control and HTTP Tunnel, security managers in a company or general users are confused under the circumstances of inner or outer regulation which is not allowed to access to an internal system with a remote control. What is more serious is to make a covert channel invading a company's private network through a malicious code and all that technologies. By the way, what matters is that a given security system such as a firewall cannot shield from these perceived dangers. So, we analyze the indirect access of technological methods and the status quo about a company's internal network and find a solution to get rid of the related dangers.

Objectives The purpose of this study was to assess the reporting quality of systematic reviews and meta-analyses in the Journal of Korean Medicine Rehabilitation (JKMR) using the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) 2020 guidelines. Methods Systematic reviews and meta-analyses in JKMR, published from January 1991 to January 2022, were selected by searching the Korean studies Information Service System and JKMR homepage. Two independent researchers searched and selected systematic reviews and meta-analyses and evaluated the reporting quality of abstracts and main texts using the PRISMA 2020 guidelines. Results Of 1,515 articles, 39 systematic reviews were finally included for assessment. Evaluation of abstracts resulted in 2 studies rated as high, 11 studies rated as moderate, and 26 studies rated as low. A maximum of 83.3% and a minimum of 25.0% of the items were reported in the abstracts. Evaluation of the manuscripts resulted in no studies rated as high, 14 studies rated as moderate, and 25 studies rated as low. A maximum of 67.9% and a minimum of 34.1% of the items were reported in the manuscripts. Conclusions To improve the quality of systematic reviews published in JKMR, it is necessary to conduct systematic reviews based on the PRISMA 2020 guidelines.

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the quality of reporting for case reports published in Journal of Oriental Neuropsychiatry from year 2018 to 2021 compared with year 2013 to 2017 in order to recommend ways to improve the quality of case reports published in the future. Methods: To evaluate the quality of case reports identified by electronic searching in Oriental medicine Advanced Searching Integrated System (OASIS) and by hand searching from archives on peer review system of Journal of Oriental Neuropsychiatry using CAse REport (CARE) guideline. The researcher assessed the quality of reporting based on the CARE guideline as 'Sufficient', 'Not-Sufficient', 'Not-Applicable', and 'Not-Reported' for case reports published from 2018 to 2021 in Journal of Oriental Neuropsychiatry. In addition, it was compared with previous case reports published from 2013 to 2017. Results: Finally, 17 case reports were included for the assessment. General quality of reporting for case reports published from year 2018 to 2021 was improved compared with that of previous case reports published in 2018. The maximum value (46.4%→60.7%, 14.3% increase), the minimum value (22.2%→32.1%, 9.9% increase), and the median value (39.3%→50.0%, 10.7% increase) of the report rate evaluated as 'Sufficient' were generally improved. The maximum value (53.6%→50.0%, 3.6% decrease), minimum value (25.9%→21.4%, 4.5% decrease), and median value (35.7%→32.1%, 3.6% decrease) of the report rate evaluated as 'Not-Sufficient', the maximum value of the report rate evaluated as 'Not-reported' (40.7%→25.9%, 14.8% decrease), the minimum value (14.7%→10.7% decrease), and the intermediate value (14.7% decrease) were also generally improved. Four items (8b, 8d, 10c, and 13) were evaluated as 'Not-Reported'. These items seem to be items that need urgent improvement along with 8c, which showed a significant decrease in reporting rate. Conclusions: There are needs to improve the quality of case reports in Journal of Oriental Neuropsychiatry by comparing case reports published from year 2013 to 2017 with case reports published from year 2018 to 2021. To improve the quality of case reporting, sufficient education at the academic level should be provided on thesis preparation methods. It is also necessary to develop a tool for evaluating the quality of case reporting that reflects characteristics of Korean Medicine.

The purpose of this study is to identify the effects of laughter therapy on depression and sleep wake disorders among the elderly in residential facilities using a systemic review and meta-analysis. Twelve databases were searched. Two researchers independently performed the selection of the studies, data coding and assessment. The risk of bias was assessed using risk of bias (RoB) and risk of bias assessment tool for non-randomized studies (RoBANs). To estimate the effect size, meta-analysis of the studies was performed using R version 4.04. Out of the 1,122 retrieved articles, one randomized controlled trial (RCT) and eleven non-randomized controlled trials (non-RCTs) were selected for analysis. The overall effect size of eleven studies on depression was determined to be -1.04 (95% Cl: -1.53~-0.54, p<.001). There were statistically significant in the effect of below ten sessions and the effect of below 400 minutes'and 400 to 1000 minutes'interventions on depression. The overall effect size of five studies on sleep wake disorders was 0.83 (95% Cl: -0.26~1.93, p=.136), which was not statistically significant. There was statistically significant in the effect of below 300 minutes'interventions on sleep wake disorders. Laughter therapy was an effective non-pharmacological intervention to reduce depression among the elderly in residential facilities. The findings also suggest that guidelines for laughter therapy need to be developed considering the number of sessions and a duration of intervention to reduce depression and sleep wake disorders of the elderly in residential facilities.

For humankind, the ocean is a treasure trove of natural resources and an important area that provides major transportation routes. However, marine ecosystems are under threat amidst the global climate change crisis. This is partly due to various sources of pollution emitted from ships, shore facilities, and other sources. In response, the navies of advanced countries such as the United States, the United Kingdom, and Europe have assessed such a climate change crisis as a new maritime security threat. These countries have made early efforts to prevent marine pollution from warships. These efforts have been legally embodied. This was legislation for technical and organizational structures to be practically applied in the field. Among these navies of developed countries, France has established parliamentary and intergovernmental plans to become a leader in environmental protection at the defense level, not only in the European region but throughout the world. Within this framework, the French Navy, through its internal instruction, has inclined its legal efforts to prevent marine pollution from warships. Therefore, this study examines the legislation for the prevention of marine pollution from warships within the French Navy and compares it with the marine environmental legislation applicable to the ROK Navy. It then deduces the implications for the ROK navy, which is advancing toward a Blue-Water navy.

Ampulla of Vater (AOV) cancer is rare malignant tumor which arises within the vicinity of the AOV. Metastatic AOV adenocarcinoma has poor prognosis, with an overall survival rate at 2 years ranging from 5 to 10%. The Surveillance, Epidemiology and End Results Program of the National Cancer Institute indicated that lymph node metastasis was present in as many as half of patients which were associated with poor prognosis and liver was the second most common site of distant metastasis in AOV cancer. In this case report, we describe a case of complete resolution of AOV cancer, which was already spread to retroperitoneal lymph node and liver. The patient underwent gemcitabine plus cisplatin chemotherapy for palliative aim. After 12 month of chemotherapy, image study showed partial remission, so intraoperative radiofrequency ablation therapy and pylorus preserving pancreaticoduodenectomy was done. AOV cancer was completely resected and the patient was followed up without recurrence for 7 months.
