Purpose : Non-accidental intracranial hemorrhage in children is not low in incidence and results in high mortality and serious sequelae. So, the authors have researched the distribution of sex and age, causes, symptoms and signs, hemorrhagic types, mortality rate and sequelae of the patients hospitalized with non-accidental intracranial hemorrhage at Hallym University Sacred Heart Hospital. Methods : The medical records of twenty patients, aged 15 or younger, and excluding neonatal patients, were analyzed retrospectively. The patients in this study were admitted with non-accidental intracranial hemorrhage from January 1999 to June 2002. Results : Of the twenty cases, the ratio of male to female was 1 : 0.8. The patients aged one or less and between 11 and 15 were discovered to be the most frequent cases. Shaken baby syndrome and arteriovenous malformation were found to be the most frequent causes. Seizure was most frequently found to be a symptom and a sign. Hemorrhagic type was classified into subdural hemorrhage eight, intracerebral hemorrhage five. There were three mortal cases. Twelve surviving patients, excluding five not-followed ones, were reclassified into six cases of complete recovery and six of sequalae. Conclusion : Non-accidental intracranial hemorrhage in children is not low in incidence, with a high mortality rate and a high incidence of serious sequelae after survival. Consequently, early diagnosis and appropriate treatment are required. In addition, appropriate rehabilitation after treatment is needed because the high survival rate due to advanced medical treatment results in an increasing number of neurologic sequelae.

Objective: We examined the effect of different culture media on oocyte maturation. Methods: Four groups of media, (1) 0.3% BSA mBASAL-XI-HTF, (2) 0.3% BSA mBASAL-XI-HTF with FSH, (3) 10% FBS mBASAL-XI-HTF and (4) 10% FBS mBASAL-XI-HTF with FSH were prepared. Mouse cumulus enclosed oocytes (CEOs) were incubated in each group of medium. Hypoxanthine (Hx) was mixed to each group of medium in increasing concentrations of 1 mM, 2 mM and 4 mM. CEOs were incubated and assessed for GVBD and MII development at 3, 6, 18 hours. Results: CEOs maturation to GVBD was seen in all four groups during 3 hours of culture, however MII stage of oocytes was seen after 6 hours. Complete arrest of GV stage in 4 mM Hx media without FSH and partial arrest in 2 mM Hx media without FSH were seen during 18 hours of culture but development was not suppressed in 1 mM Hx media without FSH. More prominent GVBD suppression was noted at early 3, 6 hours culture in 1 mM, 2 mM Hx media with FSH compared to media without FSH. But the suppression was recovered at 18 hours. This result suggests that low concentrated Hx and FSH supplemented media can suppress CEOs maturation during early culture period but recovery is resumed or even stimulated at late period. 1 mM, 2 mM Hx 10% FBS medium with FSH had significantly higher rates of MII development (71.7%, 66.7%) at 18 hours compared to other media. Conclusion: Our results show that low concentrated Hx and FSH supplemented 10% FBS media may stimulate MII development after an initial inhibitory effect.

An ecological study on a sea urchin population, Strongylocentrotus nudus, a key role species in recovery of macroalgal bed, was conducted in Hosan, Samcheok area on the east coast of Korea. Three experimental plots, namely, AMB (artificially-restored macroalgal bed), BG (barren grounds) and NMB (natural macroalgal bed) were established after a pilot survey in June 2002. Distribution and abundance, grazing rates, predation pressure and predator guilds on S. nudus were estimated in three plots bimonthly from Aug. to Dec., 2002. Abundance of S. nudus was lowest, but median test diameter of the urchin was highest (Kruskal-Wallis test, p-value, p<0.001 in Aug. and p=0.003 in Oct.) in NMB In-situ grazing rate of S. nudus estimated by enclosure cage experiment in NMB was about 12 times higher in Aug. (160.0 mg seaweed/g sea urchin/day) than in Oct. (13.8). Predation intensity measured by tethering experiment was higher in NMB. Most of the predators on S. nudus were invertebrates and no fish predators were found. Predator guilds identified by the fish trap experiment using live or dead sea urchins included who]ks Neptunea arthritica, starfish Asterina pectinifera, hermit crabs Pagurus of. samuelis, Paguristes barbatus, brown shawl crabs Atergatis integerrimus and crabs Actaea subglobosa. High predation pressure on S. nudus in natural macroalgal beds was the likely cause of its low density. Elevated sea urchin density and the consequent lasting deforestation of macroalgae in barren grounds demonstrate the importance of predation pressure on sea urchins.

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to assess the relationship between the time spent designing custom abutments and repeated learning using dental implant computer aided design (CAD) software. Materials and Methods: The design of customized abutments was performed four stages using the 3DS CAD software and the EXO CAD software, and measured repeatedly three times by each stage. Learning effect by repetition was presented with the learning curve, and the significance of the reduction in the total time and the time at each stage spent on designing was evaluated using the Friedman test and the Wilcoxon signed rank test. The difference in the design time between groups was analyzed using the repeated measure two-way ANOVA. Statistical analysis was performed using the SPSS statistics software (P < 0.05). Results: Repeated learning of the customized abutment design displayed a significant difference according to the number of repetition and the stage (P < 0.001). The difference in the time spent designing was found to be significant (P < 0.001), and that between the CAD software programs was also significant (P = 0.006). Conclusion: Repeated learning of CAD software shortened the time spent designing. While less design time on average was spent with the 3DS CAD than with the EXO CAD, the EXO CAD showed better results in terms of learning rate according to learning effect.

본 연구의 목적은 하천 복원과 관리에 필수적인 하천의 특성 분석 및 물순환 분석시스템 구축에 있다. 연구 대상지역으로 최근 하천의 생태 기능 회복을 위해 도심생태하천조성 사업이 추진되고 있는 대전 3대 하천유역을 선정하였다. 대전 3대 하천 유역의 물수지와 도시화에 따른 영향을 파악하기 위하여 SWAT을 이용한 물순환 분석시스템을 구축하였다. 모형적용 결과, 유출량과 지하수 수위 변화 등 대전 3대 하천 유역의 특성을 관측치에 가깝게 모의할 수 있었다. 모델의 검보정 실시결과에서 나타난 모델의 계산 값들의 관측된 유출량뿐 아니라 기저유출량 및 지하수 수위와의 높은 상관관계는 본 연구에서 구축한 모델의 구조나 변수의 유효성에 많은 신뢰도를 제공한다고 판단된다. SWAT을 이용하여 대전 3대 하천 유역의 물수지 분석 및 도시화에 따른 영향을 평가하였다. 물수지 분석결과에 의하면, 전체적으로 총 유출량 중 지하수 유출량이 47%정도, 중간 유출량이 31% 그리고 지표유출량이 22%이다. 각 소유역의별 유출 성분 분석결과는 각 소유역의 토지 이용도, 토양 그리고 지형적 특징에 따른 유출 특성을 확인하였다. 도시화 영향 분석 결과 전체적으로 1975년에서 2000년까지 갑천 유역의 약 5%가량의 도시화는 총 유출량의 변화에 있어서는 현저한 차이를 보이지 않았으나, 각 유출 성분의 경우에는 많은 영향이 있는 것으로 나타났다. 특히 지표유출량은 45% 가량의 증가를 보였고, 전체 유역의 지하수함양 량이 5%정도 감소한 반면, 도시화가 31%정도 진행된 소유역의 경우에는 17%정도의 현저한 감소를 나타냈다. 본 연구에서 수행한 물수지 분석 및 도시화 영향분석 결과는 향후 대천 3대 하천의 생태하천복원을 위한 물순환 정상화 대책마련 및 하천의 유량확보방안 마련에 기초자료를 제공할 수 있을 것이다.득증대를 꾀함으로 농촌문제 해결에 도움이 될 것으로 기대된다. 본 연구를 통해 GIS 와 RS의 기술이 농촌분야에 더 효율적으로 적용될 것으로 기대되며, 농업기술센터를 통한 정보제공을 함으로써 대농민 서비스 및 농업기관의 위상이 제고 될 것으로 기대된다.여 전자파의 공간적인 가시화를 수행할 수 있었다. 본 전자파 시뮬레이션 기법이 실무에 이용될 경우, 일반인이 전자파의 분포에 대한 전문지식을 습득할 필요 없이, 검색하고자 하는 지역과 송전선, 전철 등 각종 전자파의 발생 공간 객체를 선택하여 실생활과 관련된 전자파 정보에 예측할 수 있어, 대민 환경정보 서비스 질의 개선측면에서 획기적인 계기를 마련할 것으로 사료된다.acid$(C_{18:3})$가 대부분을 차지하였다. 야생 돌복숭아 과육 중의 지방산 조성은 포화지방산이 16.74%, 단불포화지방산 17.51% 및 다불포화지방산이 65.73%의 함유 비율을 보였는데, 이 중 다불포화지방산인 n-6계 linoleic acid$(C_{18:2})$와 n-3계 linolenic acid$(C_{18:3})$가 지질 구성 총 지방산의 대부분을 차지하는 함유 비율을 나타내었다.했다. 하강하는 약 4일간의 기상변화가 자발성 기흉 발생에 영향을 미친다고 추론할 수 있었다. 향후 본 연구에서 추론된 기상변화와 기흉 발생과의 인과관계를 확인하고 좀 더 구체화하기 위한 연구가 필요할 것이다.게 이루어질 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.는 초과수익률이 상승하지만, 이후로는 감소하므로, 반전거래전략을 활용하는 경우 주식투자기간은 24개월이하의 중단기가 적합함을 발견하였다. 이상의 행태적 측면과 투자성과측면의 실증결과를 통하여 한국주식시장에 있어서 시장수익률을 평균적으로 초과할 수 있는 거래전략은 존재하므로 이러한 전

The purpose of this study was to analyze the association between family members and adolescent boys smoking. The data were evaluated by frequency analysis, 𝑥² test and logistic regression analysis using 27,276 people who responded to the 14th(2018) Korean Youth Risk Behavior Survey. Among male students, the nonsmoking rate was 91.5% and the smoking rate was 8.5%(2.5% of occasional smoking and 6.0% of frequent smoking). The study results showed that the smoking status of male students was varied significantly according to the number of smokers among the family members(p<0.001). Meanwhile, smoking based on the characteristics of socio-demographic factors was affected by grades, school records, economic status, and parents' educational background(p<0.001). Smoking by health factors showed a significant difference in alcohol consumption, suicidal thoughts, depression experiences, stress recognition, frequency of breakfast consumption, level of fatigue after sleep, and subjective perception of health(p<0.001). Male smokers were more likely to smoke when two family members smoked than only one(p<0.001). These results confirmed that smoking in boys was affected by the smoking status of family members and suggested that the smoking cessation program of family smokers can be effective in designing smoking cessation prevention and smoking cessation projects.

According to the recent statistics of Korean National Police which analyze the present status on the rate of the traffic accidents and their effects in Korea, the number of casualties by traffic accidents of 2004 amounted to 6,563, which means that the average number of casualties per 10,000 vehicles is 3.99. The figure of 3.99 is much larger than 1.85 of U.S.A, 1.10 of Japan, 1.14 of U.K., and 1.23 of Germany. The number of registered vehicles of Korea is steeply increasing since 1997 when it reached 10,000,000. Since then, the number of annual increase is estimated at 860,000 except for the year 1998 when the Korean economy was under the control of IMF, and over 14 million vehicles are registered as of the end of the year 2004. With the increase of vehicles, the violations of traffic rules, crimes using vehicles, car thefts, etc have been imposing a lot of serious problems on our society. On this thesis, we are aiming at analyzing some characteristics of traffic accidents reported to the police and suggesting some kinds of the police activities for securing the safety of the transportation.

This study is to find out the effects of various iron concentrations on growth, feeding and feed efficiency of olive flounder, Paralichthys olivaceus, The growth rate, feeding rate and feed efficiency of olive flounder in each experiments were represented by the relative value. The relative growth rate and relative feed efficiency of olive flounder were kept almost constant below the iron concentration of 1.0 mg/$\ell$, but were significantly decreased above the 5,0 mg/$\ell$ iron concentration. The growth rate, feeding rate and feed efficiency of olive flounder exposed to 10.0mg/$\ell$ iron concentration were significantly decreased than that exposed to normal condition. From these results, it could be concluded that the high level of 5.0 mg/$\ell$ iron concentration in the bottom water would curtail production of olive flounder in coastal area.

This study outlines measures related to fiscal policies aimed at responding to the financial crisis according to the timing of commencement and then examines impacts of expansionary fiscal policies on macro variables so as to extract policy implications. The size of expansionary fiscal policy to respond to the financial crisis is found to total 59.8 trillion won (6.1% of GDP in 2007), among which a total of 30.5 trillion won was the increased fiscal expenditure made by the 2008 supplementary budget, the 2009 revised budget and the 2009 supplementary budget. In addition, tax reductions are found to be a total of 29.3 trillion won, mainly driven by the tax reforms in 2008 and 2009. Examining dynamic changes in macro variables caused by the temporary increase in fiscal expenditure and the tax reductions reveals that the increase effect of the real GDP growth rate brought by a temporary rise in fiscal expenditure excluding tax reduction effects turned out to be 1.1%p in 2009 and 0.3%p in 2010, compared to the period without the increase in fiscal expenditure. Meanwhile, when taking into account the effect of expansionary fiscal policies including tax reduction effects, the increase effect of real GDP turns out to be much higher. In the case of 2009, the real GDP rose additionally by 1.9%p, in which 1.1%p by the increase in fiscal expenditure and 0.8%p by tax reduction. Based on these results, the expansionary fiscal policy conducted during the financial crisis since the second half of 2008 can be seen to have played a significant role in helping the Korean economy post a higher-than-anticipated recovery pace from the economic slowdown triggered by the crisis.
