Fibroma of the tendon sheath is a benign slow-growing fibrous tumor. Although rare, cases occurring in the upper extremities usually involve the fingers. It appears as a well-defined, roundor oval-shaped mass originating from the flexor tendon. Abundant fibrous stroma makes fibromas appear as a low intensity mass in all MRI sequences. Most of the fibromas manifest as painless soft tissue masses. Herein, we report a case of fibroma of the tendon sheath with an unusual clinical presentation, triggering carpal tunnel syndrome during wrist movement.

Background: The need for regulatory science development to evaluate advanced regulatory products is gradually increasing without hindering the technological development. Creating a research environment and fostering experts through the establishment of regulatory agency-led policies are essential for the development of regulatory science. Method: This is a comparative study of the United States, Japan, Singapore, and Korea. The literature and websites of each regulatory agency were reviewed, and the focus was on advantages and comparing advantages based on definition, development trends, and expert training projects. Results: The United States is striving to develop regulatory science in response to changes in the new pharmaceutical industry through the regulatory science report, and to foster expert both inside and outside the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Japan is promoting regulatory science centered on regulatory science centers, and is focusing on researching work-related regulatory science within the Pharmaceuticals and Medical Devices Agency (PMDA) and improving employees' ability to make regulatory decisions. Singapore was aiming to improve Southeast Asia's regulatory capabilities under the leadership of Centre of Regulatory Excellence (CoRE) within Duke-NUS University. In 2021, Korea is in its early stages, starting to run a university's degree program related to regulatory science this year. Conclusion: Regulatory science should be developed with the aim of improving the regulatory ability of the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety with Korea's independent concept of regulatory science.

Objective: We evaluated the efficacy of a newly-developed spinal orthoses (V-LSO) by comparing the stabilizing effect, abdominal pressure, and comfort of 3 different semirigid LSOs (classic LSO, V-LSO, and Cybertech^®) during various body movements. Method: Thirty healthy volunteers (23~47 years, 24 males, 6 females) were selected. A dual inclinometer measured the range of motion (ROM) while the participants performed flexion/extension and lateral flexion of the lumbar spine with 3 LSOs. The LSO's pressure on the abdominal surface was measured using 9 pressure sensors while lying, sitting, standing, flexion/extension, lateral flexion, axial rotation, and lifting a box. Comfort and subjective immobilization were analyzed by a questionnaire. Results: V-LSO had a statistically significant effect on flexion over Cybertech^®. No significant differences were noted during extension and lateral flexion between the 3 LSOs. The abdominal pressure showed no significant differences while supine. While sitting, standing, and lifting a box, the mean abdominal pressure for V-LSO were significantly higher than those for Cybertech^®. During lumbar flexion, the mean abdominal pressures for classic LSO and V-LSO were significantly higher than that of Cybertech^®. For extension, lateral flexion and axial rotation, the abdominal pressure for V-LSO was significantly higher than those of classic LSO and Cybertech^®. In the subjective analysis, V-LSO and Cybertech^® scored best for comfort. Conclusion: The V-LSO and Cybertech^® were more comfortable than the classic LSO, and hence, may have improved compliance with decreased discomfort. V-LSO may be superior to the other LSOs in restricting lumbar movement and increasing intraabdominal pressure.

The purpose of this study is to analyze Russia-Central Asia relations since the launch of the EAEU in 2015 and forecast the future from a structural realism perspective. Bilateral relations have both elements of close cooperation and elements of conflict. Russia and Central Asia, which have the characteristics of an authoritarian alliance, also have a symbiotic relationship in which they have no choice but to cooperate with each other to maintain the regime. Based on this, Russia has made various efforts to reunify Central Asia. Central Asia also has no choice but to cooperate with Russia for its survival, but at the same time, it has expanded its scope of cooperation in the international community to avoid being subjugated to Russia again. However, as China's power expands, Russia's relative weakness, and wariness toward Russia increases after the Ukraine War, the gap in bilateral relations is widening. In particular, as China's influence grows, Russia's nervousness also increases. This is why Putin visits Central Asia and holds active summit talks even during the war in Ukraine. If competition between Russia and China surfaces, there is a high possibility that the international order in Central Asia will become unstable. However, it is still unlikely that the power of Russia and China will reverse in Central Asia. Above all, the security, historical, and cultural connections between Russia and Central Asia are areas that are difficult for China to catch up with. Therefore, a weakening of Russia's influence compared to the past is inevitable, but its superiority is expected to continue. If Russia breaks away from belligerence and transforms into an attractive cooperative partner, there is a possibility that bilateral relations will take an upward turn again. However, it seems unlikely that such changes and innovations will occur under the Putin regime. Therefore, the biggest obstacle to realizing Putin's goal of reunifying Central Asia is Putin himself.

본 연구에서는 공단지역 내 토양층(지표면하 1 m 이내)에 존재하는 Cu, Pb 성분의 평균값보다 높은 지역과 중앙값보다 높은 지역을 확률적으로 추정하고자 하였다. 먼저, 연구지역의 Cu, Pb 성분의 농도 분포를 파악하기 위해 일반통계분석을 하였고, 공단지역 내 Cu, Pb 성분의 평균값과 중앙값을 제한값으로 하여 지시크리깅을 수행하여 평균값보다 높은 확률도와 중앙값보다 높은 확률도를 작성하였다 평균값과 중앙값에 의해 작성된 확률도를 비교하여, 지시크리깅의 제한값으로서의 적합성을 분석하였다.

본 논문은 High Altitude Electromagnetic Pulse (HEMP) 응용 분야에 적용되는 리튬 이온 베터리를 이용한 커패시터 충전전원 장치에 관하여 다룬다. 기존에 제안하였던 5.4 kJ/s 고전압 커패시터 충전기를 9 kJ/s 로 용량을 늘렸고, 고전압 커패시터 충전기 후단에 공진 충전 회로를 도입하여 2단 충전 구조로 펄스 방전 시 발생할 수 있는 역전압과 reflecting pulses로 부터 커패시터 충전 전원 장치를 보호한다. 제안하는 충전기의 성능은 시뮬레이션 및 기초 부하 실험을 통해 확인되었다.

This paper describes -40kV high voltage solid state pulse power modulator (SSPPM) for driving a magnetron, which is used as a RF power source of LINAC for cancer treatment systems. In case of the medical LINAC, small size and light weight are required. The SSPPM is 92 liters in size and weighs 50 kg. In this paper, S-band 2.6 MW magnetron load experiment is conducted and impedance matching was applied to obtain a smooth output current. Finally, the experimental results is discussed and the reliability of SSPPM is verified.

본 연구는 오늘날 특수교육의 가장 핵심적인 방법론인 '통합교육'을 다룬 중앙일간지 뉴스 기사의 변화과정을 분석하였다. 신문자료는 오늘날 빅데이터 시대의 하나의 가치 있는 분석대상으로 부각되고 있다. 또 언론사 뉴스 분석방법론은 관련 학문 연구자의 언어가 아닌 일반 시민들의 인식수준을 확인하는 데 도움을 준다. 본 연구의 결과는 2000년 이후 20년간의 시간대를 10년 단위로 분할하여, '통합교육'의 모습이 어떻게 전파되었는 지를 확인하였다. 본 연구는 분석대상 자료를 기초로 하여, 객관적인 연구방법론을 추가하여 보완해 나갈 것이다.
