Recently as the ultrasonography became generalized, the annual change rate of the incidence of thyroid cancer extraordinarily grew to 24.5% in Korea. Therefore, the aim of this study was performed to identify the risk factors of thyroid cancer apart from conventional risk factors of dietary iodine and ionizing radiation. In this retrospective study, 411 patients underwent fine-needle aspiration biopsy were examined from January 2011 to March 2013. The subjects are divided into two groups which are 260 patients with benign nodule and 151 patients with malignancy nodule. We compared age, hematologic values, body mass index, waist circumference, menopausal status, breast nodules status, uterine myoma status, fatty liver status of targeted group of patients. According to the result, in thyroid cancer group with obesity, the number of case of breast nodules and myoma was higher, and their thyroid stimulating hormone values was higher than the benign nodule group. In order to establish factors influencing thyroid and thyroid cancer, there is a definite need for continuous study.

Integrated analysis of GPR, impact echo (IE) and impulse response (IR) was performed to detect the rear cavity of concrete for a test-bed which was made with the same scale and component ratio to the real concrete structure. The test-bed was designed to be capable of observing various response reflecting the existence of iron reinforcing bar and cavity. GPR survey did not clearly resolve the existence of the cavity, although distinguishable responses were observed in the presence of the cavity. In contrast, IE and IR method showed distinct responses, indicating the existence of the cavity. Finally, integrated application of the three methods makes it possible to exactly identify the location of the cavity, although the iron reinforcing bar made a little variation of response.

This study was conducted to investigate the factors affecting the quality of life of elderly who live alone according to gender. The participants in this study were 959 elderly living alone from a total of 22,948 individuals studied in the 2013-2015 Korean national health and nutrition examination survey. IBM SPSS 23.0 was used to analyze the data. There were significant differences between the two groups in age, level of education, and amount of calorie intake. Economic status, presence of arthritis, presence of restrict activity, subjective health status had an influence on quality of life in men with an explanatory power of 50.5% (p < .001). Presence of back pain, subjective health status, suicidal ideation had an influence on quality of life in women with an explanatory power of 41.4% (p < .001). Therefore, in order to improve the quality of life of elderly living alone, it is necessary to provide appropriate intervention depending on gender.

막분리에 의한 폐윤활유 재생공정을 개발하기 위한 기초 연구로써 폐윤활유 분리/재생용으로 적합한 복층(multilayer)세라믹 복합막의 제조와 합성막의 폐유 분리 효율등이 연구되었다. 결함이 없고 두께가 균일한 지르코니아 복합막 (기공크기 0.07 $\mu$m 이하)은 압출 성형법으로 제조한 튜브형 $\alpha$-알루미나 담체 (외경 7.8 mm, 두께 0.6 mm, 기공크기 0.7 $\mu$m)내부표면에 역침지 인상법(reverse dip-drawing technique)에 의하여 지르코니아 슬러리를 코팅 한 후 950$\circ$C에서 1시간 열처리하여 제조 되었다. 또한 지르코니아 복합막 위에 니타니아 졸-겔 코팅을 한 후 450$\circ$C에서 2시간 열처리하여 기공크기가 15 nm정도인 3층 복합막을 제조 하였다. SEM, Bubble Point Test, Mercury Porosimeter 그리고 분획 분자량 측정등에 의하여 복합막의 코팅층 두께, 결함유무 및 막의 기공크기등을 분석하였다.

This study is a secondary data analysis study that analyzed the data of the 8th Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey(2019) to identify factors that affect physical and mental health status according to the presence or absence of a spouse of the elderly. 𝜒² test, logistic and linear regression analysis were performed on 1,510 elderly aged 65 years or older. As a result of the study, general characteristics (gender, age, education level, household income) and health-related characteristics (smoking, drinking, and physical activity) were adjusted according to the spouse status. As a result, compared to those without a spouse, the probability of diagnosis of arthritis (OR=0.673, p=.010) and the Possibility of experiencing depression (OR=0.535, p=003) lower. It was confirmed that the quality of life was significantly higher (B=0.023, p=.040). The results of this study can be used as basic data to determine the factors that influence the health status of the elderly by existence of spouses.

This study aimed to investigate factors affecting frailty by urinary incontinence groups among the vulnerable elderly woman in Korea. In this secondary analysis, data were collected from records for 3,251 elders registered in the Visiting Health Management program of Public Health Centers in 2012. body mass index, waist circumference, timed up & go, depression, self rated helath, walking exercise, flexibility exercise, strengh exercise and frailty were assessed. Data were analyzed using $x^2$-test, t-test, ANOVA, Pearson's correlation and stepwise regression to determine the associated factors of frailty by urinary incontinence. Depression, walking exercise, timed up & go and age were found to be factors significantly associated with frailty among the elders with incontinence(F=38.321, p<.001). Age, depression, walking exercise, self rated health and tined up & go were found to be factors associated with frailty in the elders without incontinence(F=265.666 p<.001). The findings show that frailty of elders and associated factors were different by urinary incontinence, and common factors affecting frailty were depression, walking exercise, timed up & go, age. Thus, these factors should be considered in the development of intervention program for care and prevention of frailty and program should be modified according to urinary incontinence.

본 연구에서는 시.공 복합적인 선형 점 자료를 대상으로 시간과 공간을 함께 고려했을 때 자료 내에 군집(cluster)-시.공 복합 군집(space-time cluster)-이 존재하는 가를 검증하는 방법에 대해 논의하고, 실제 교통사고지점의 분포자료를 분석하여 군집의 유무를 통계적으로 검증하였다. 통계 분석의 결과 다음과 같은 사실이 확인되었다. 첫째, Knox의 분할표 방법과 Mantel의 역수 변환을 이용한 일반화된 회귀분석방법 모두 임계 거리 및 임계 시간 간격의 선택이 분석결과에 영향을 미친다. 둘째, 이러한 임의성을 극복하기 위해 다양한 임계 거리 및 임계 시간 간격(혹은 부가 상수)에 대해 반복 실험한 결과, 일부 임계값의 조합에서 시간과 공간이 서로 독립적이라는 귀무가설을 기각할 수 있는 증거가 발견되었다. 셋째, 시.공 복합 군집의 파악에 가장 적합한 임계 거리와 임계 시간 간격은 공간적으로는 7000m, 시간적으로는 14일 혹은 21일이다. 마지막으로, 통계 분석과정에서 자료에 존재하는 중복 기록 사고들의 존재가 밝혀짐으로써 시.공 복합군집 검증이 탐험적 자료 분석(exploratory data analysis)의 도구로서 가지는 가치를 확인할 수 있었다.

In this study, a smoke or a heat which occurs by a fire is perceived by wireless detector, this signal is transmitted to the receiving device by the wireless installation which is not the wire device and wire/wireless integration system which sends this signal to main server via wire system is proposed. In addition wireless heat/smoke detector, wireless module, firmware and wire/wireless integration controller were developed and for verifying regarding the efficiency and applicability of wire/wireless installation actual place application experiment was really accomplished with a transmission tower, a multipurpose building, and a station etc of the subway. The experimental result, it could operate the system which is proposed normally with all experimental object ones and, future actual place application possibility could verify.
