The purpose of this research starts analyzing the case with the United States and Japan and considering the plan form of educational facilities in the advanced country for the improvement of educational facilities in our counties. Japan was managing the educational system which carried out homogeneous till the first stage of the 1970s like advanced nations, such as the educational system of the industrialization age before World War II, i.e., Britain and the United States. The form of an American open school was adopted after the second half of the 1960s, trying the educational system which also globalized the educational system of Japan while the world went into the information society. In the process of the introduction, Japan did not simply imitate a huge open space in the United States. Japan selected the content of the education carefully. And, to do an original educational activity by guidance. The current classroom and multipurpose space were planned as one body. As a result, the environment of the classroom was able to do various studying patterns of individual study and the group study.

본 연구는 도시묘지가 갖는 현장체험학습장으로서의 가능성에 관한 연구이다. 현장체험학습 프로그램을 활발히 진행하고 있는 미국 사례와 우리나라 사례를 비교하여 차이점과 시사점을 도출하였다. 그 결과 묘지는 지역 내 현장체험학습장으로 충분한 자원을 보유하고 있었다. 따라서 이를 활용한 교육프로그램이 개발된다면 도시는 더욱 풍부한 교육자원을 가지게 되며, 주민과 학생에게는 현재보다 다양한 교육 기회가 제공될 수 있다. 미국 사례와 우리나라 사례를 비교한 결과 미국의 묘지에서 활발한 교육프로그램이 진행될 수 있는 것은 묘지를 정원이나 공원과 같이 경관적으로 아름답고 쾌적하게 조성하고, 생태적으로 건강한 숲으로 보전해 왔기 때문이다. 또한 지역사회 묘지를 현장체험학습 장소로 적극 활용했기 때문이다. 우리나라도 기피시설이나 혐오시설이라는 이미지를 탈피할 수 있도록 묘지를 리모델링하고 장묘문화를 변화시킨다면 묘지가 도시지역에서 부족한 현장체험학습장으로서의 역할을 수행할 수 있다.

Purpose: Traditionally, three-dimensional conformal radiation therapy (3D-CRT) is used for neoadjuvant chemoradiation in locally advanced rectal cancer. Intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) was later developed for more conformal dose distribution, with the potential for reduced toxicity across many disease sites. We sought to use the National Cancer Database (NCDB) to examine trends and predictors for IMRT use in rectal cancer. Materials and Methods: We queried the NCDB from 2004 to 2015 for patients with rectal adenocarcinoma treated with neoadjuvant concurrent chemoradiation to standard doses followed by surgical resection. Odds ratios were used to determine predictors of IMRT use. Univariable and multivariable Cox regressions were used to determine potential predictors of overall survival (OS). Propensity matching was used to account for any indication bias. Results: Among 21,490 eligible patients, 3,131 were treated with IMRT. IMRT use increased from 1% in 2004 to 22% in 2014. Predictors for IMRT use included increased N stage, higher comorbidity score, more recent year, treatment at an academic facility, increased income, and higher educational level. On propensity-adjusted, multivariable analysis, male gender, increased distance to facility, higher comorbidity score, IMRT technique, government insurance, African-American race, and non-metro location were predictive of worse OS. Of note, the complete response rate at time of surgery was 28% with non-IMRT and 21% with IMRT. Conclusion: IMRT use has steadily increased in the treatment of rectal cancer, but still remains only a fraction of overall treatment technique, more often reserved for higher disease burden.
