Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a syndrome characterized by the repetitive episodic collapse of the upper airway. Maxillomandibular advancement surgery is one of the most effective surgical treatment methods in treating obstructive sleep apnea. The advancement of both maxill and mandible can enlarge the cross-sectional areas and volumes of the postero-superior airway. The purpose of this study is to analyze flow patterns in the upper airway before and after maxillomandibular advancement surgery. Here, we analyzed flow phenomena of inspiration and expiration to prevent obstructive sleep apnea patient from happening side effect. Modeling of the upper airway carried out from clinical CT scanned images. We used time-dependent values for boundary condition. CFD analyses were performed and evaluated section of minimum area (SMA), compared with patient inside upper airway before and after maxillomandibular advancement surgery in SMA, and negative pressure effects. The study showed the greatest enlargment of the section of minimum cross-sectional area. Moreover, the velocity and the negative airway pressure were decreased. According to the result of this study, the maxillomandibular advancement surgery stabilizes the airflow in the postero-superior airway of OSA patients.

A 6-year-old castrated male Shih-Tzu was admitted to the Gyeongsang Animal Medical Center with hematuria and vomiting. Serum chemistry indicated increases in blood urea nitrogen and creatinine values. Radiography showed radiopaque materials attached to the ventralis of the inner bladder wall. Penile urethra also was filled with radiopaque materials. Ultrasonography revealed bilateral perineal effusion in the kidney, thinned bladder wall, and materials with acoustic shadowing at the caudal extremity of the os penis. Because urination was not identified by urinary obstruction, cystocentesis was performed. Hematuria was diagnosed by urinalysis, but clear crystals were not identified. Owing to failure of securing patency to the bladder using retrohydropropulsion, cystotomy and urethrotomy with retrohydropropulsion were performed. In this report, we describe the clinical and radiographic findings of urethral plugs in a male Shih-Tzu dog, wherein the urethral plugs were treated successfully with hydropropulsion, cystotomy, and urethrotomy. It provides an option for the treatment of urethral plugs in a dog.

The value and validity of elite oral materials have been questioned because of their gaps with 'fact'. The purpose of this article is to analyze these gaps and to propose some solutions that can reduce the gaps. According to the analysis of this article, there are three types of the gaps that qualitatively differ from each other. The first type of the gaps is produced in the process of generation of memory. This type is made because informants cognize and memorize the facts that exist outside themselves. Selective cognition, selective memory and individual experience come under this category. The second type is produced in the process of preserving the memory. Forgetting and memory transformation are main examples of this type. The third type is produced in the process of the interviews with the informants. False statements or lies fall into this category. The main conclusions are as follows. 1) all gaps in oral materials are not necessarily negative. It is because Some of these gaps- the first and the second type- are not only parts of the real world but also very useful for interpreting the world. 2) The third type of the gaps are very harmful and it is need to be eradicated or reduced. For this, this article proposes some solutions.

This purpose of this study was to use the meta-summary method to systematically integrate the findings of the heterogeneous qualitative research on the factors influencing the sexual identity formation process of lesbian, gay, and bisexual groups in Korea. The integrative investigation of the universal or unique factors affecting the identity formation of sexual minority is important to understand their internal experiences and support their psychological adaptation. Using a qualitative meta-summary, this study systematically identified and abbriviated the psychological and social factors that promote or impede the sexual identity acceptance and integration of LGB individuals. First, a total of 9 studies which were published in Korea up to 2021 were identified through the research database. The included studies were critically evaluated by using the Critical Appraisal Screening Programme tool. A total of 179 statements were extracted from the findings of each study and 34 abstracted statements were generated. The 34 abstracted statements were categorized into four groups, psychological factors that promote or impede sexual identity formation and social factors that promote or impede it. These four main categories and corresponding factors in each category were explained. The implications and limitations were also discussed.

The aim of this study was to know the experience of emergency nurses on hospital violence and violence's effect on nurses via convergent approach of phenomenological methodology to be known for a good method to study alive human's experience. This study is a qualitative study converged the phenomenological methods and 5 emergency nurses participated in an in-depth interview. From the transcript, 41 significant statements, 17 clusters of theme, 6 categories were extracted. The extracted categories are violence's background, emotional response, physical response, social response, passive coping and active coping. The hospital violence's negative effect on emergency nurses occurred in various sides and the countermeasure is required to prevent violence from hospital setting anymore.

Scientific observation has been recognized as one of the fundamental aspects in scientific inquiry. However, more detailed discussions and practical guides for teachers' and students' understanding about the nature of scientific observation have not been conducted. Therefore, based on literature reviews, we described the nature of theory-laden scientific observation as 11 detailed statements. Using theses statements, we investigated science teachers' and students' recognition of each statement. According to results, certain aspects of theory-laden scientific observation were determined as important aspects to be considered for science teachers' in-service programs or for students' learning activities in understanding the nature of science.

본 논문에서는 그동안 축적된 디지털 증거 관련 판례를 분석하여 디지털 증거가 법정에서 유효하게 사용될 수 있는 증거 능력 요건을 검토하였다. 법정에 제출된 디지털 증거가 증거능력을 인정받기 위해서는 다음과 같은 요건을 충족해야 한다. 첫 번째 요건으로서 적법하게 수집된 증거이어야 한다. 영장주의에 위반하거나, 압수수색절차에 피압수자의 참여권을 보장하지 않은 경우에는 증거의 증거능력이 인정되지 않는다. 또한 그동안 논란이 되었던 별건정보도 앞서 살펴본바와 같이 대법원이 제시한 요건을 충족해야 한다. 두 번째 요건으로는 법정에 제출된 디지털 증거의 진정성이 인정되어야 한다. 대법원은 디지털 증거의 진정성이 인정되기 위해서는 무결성과 동일성, 신뢰성이 인정되어야 한다고 판시한바 있다. 세 번째 요건으로 법정에 제출된 증거가 전문증거인 경우에는 당사자의 동의가 없는 한 전문법칙의 예외에 해당되어야 한다. 2016년 5월 형사소송법 제313조가 개정되기 전에는 법정에 제출된 디지털 증거를 진술자가 진정성립을 부인하는 경우, 해당 문서가 업무상 필요로 작성한 통상문서나 기타 특히 신용할 만한 정황에 의하여 작성된 문서에 해당되지 않는 한 증거능력을 인정받을 수 없었다. 그러나 형사소송법 제313조 제2항의 개정으로 인하여 이제는 진술자가 진정성립을 부인하는 경우에도 "과학적 분석결과에 기초한 디지털 포렌식 자료, 감정 등 객관적 방법"에 의해 성립의 진정을 인정받을 수 있다. 과학적 분석결과에 기초한 디지털 포렌식 자료, 감정 등 객관적 방법에 대한 구체적인 내용은 앞으로 판례를 통해 정립해 나아가야 할 것이다.

본 연구는 2005 년 8월 7 일 22시 58분경 전북 00시 00면 00리 고센농장(축사내 작업장용도 건물)에서 발생한 화재현장을 대상으로 화재조사 및 감식을 하여 그 원인을 규명하고자 하였다. 조사 결과 화재는 축사(돈사)와 같이 붙어있는 작업장용도의 공간에서 발생하였으며, 그곳엔 무쏘차량과 5톤 트럭, 페이로더를 주차시켜 놓았으며, 화재는 안쪽에 있는 무쏘차량과 5톤 트럭의 운전석부위가 소실되고, 입구 우측에 적재해 두었던 사료통 및 사일로가 탄화된 화재로 5톤 차량 옆에 주차되어있던 스키로더는 탄화되지 않은 점, 무쏘차량과 5톤 차량은 4M정도 떨어져 있었으며 각기 다른 3곳의 발화지점이 있는 점, 소유자는 3개월 전부터 금연을 하였다고 진술하였으나 현장에서 1 회용 라이터가 발견된 점, 작업장 안의 차량은 키가 꽂혀 있었고, 평소에 차량의 문을 잠그지 않았다고 진술한 점, 농장은 문이 개방되어 있고 도로에서 떨어져 있어(150M 정도) 일반인의 접근이 용이하지 않으며, 화재현장에서는 화원이 될만한 개연성을 가진 것이 식별되지 않은 점, 각각 3곳에서 단독 발화한 것이 식별된 점 등 상기 감식내용을 종합해 보면 미상의 화원에 의한 인위적인 화재(방화)로 추정된다.
