Aids to Navigation (AtoN) is marine traffic safety facility to facilitate the safe and efficient movement of shipping and enhance the protection of the marine environment by the regulation or guideline of The International Association of Marine Aids to Navigation and Lighthouse Authorities (IALA). By IALA NAVGUIDE, the term "New Danger" is defined as newly discovered hazards not yet shown in nautical documents and includes naturally occurring obstructions such as sandbanks or rocks or man-made dangers such as wrecks. 'New Dangers' should be appropriately marked using Lateral, Cardinal, Isolated Danger marks or by using the Emergency Wreck Marking Buoy. However, the Emergency Wreck Marking Buoy has difficulties with implementation conditions in terms of speed and accuracy to install the buoy. In case of sinking accidents, it is difficult immediately to install the Emergency Wreck Marking Buoy because of weather conditions, marine environments and accident position. This paper studies Auto Releasing New Danger Mark Buoy on the deck which can be automatically to release from the deck of a vessel and float in the water and quickly install the accident position in case of sinking accidents. The buoy will be to reduce the risk of navigation and prevent secondary collisions.

Empyema thoracis following pneumonia, intra-abdominal pathology, trauma, and surgical procedure continues to be a source of major morbidity and mortality. Thirty seven adult and eleven pediatric patients with empyema thoracis were treated at the University of Yeungnam Medical Center from May 1983 to November 1986. Age distribution ranged from 6 months to 72 years and showed a double-peaked curve with the highest incidence between 36 and 65 years and below 15 years of age. There were male predominence in patients above 16 years of age. The most common predisposing factors was impaired consciousness due to either alcoholism or head injury. The causes of empyema were as follows: pneumonia 64.6%, lung abscess 6.4%, intraabdominal pathology 6.4%, and surgical procedure 6.4%. The cardinal symptoms were fever, cough, chest pain, dyspnea, sputum, weight loss, anorexia, and night sweat in orders. Culture of empyema fluid were positive in 50% of patients. The isolated organisms were Gram-negative bacilli 33.3%, staphylococcus aureus 25%, and streptococcus 25%. The patients received antibiotics in conjunction with various invasive procedures : chest tube drainage 77.1%, decortication 6.3%, and repeated thoracentesis 10.3%. There were 4 deaths, 1 child and 3 adults, with a overall mortality of 8.3%.

Purpose : To identify clinical and laboratory features of atypical Kawasaki disease(KD), and to develop criteria for early diagnosis of atypical KD patients. Methods : All patients with KD treated at our hospital from January 1998 to June 2000 were reviewed retrospectively. Results : Among a total of 167 patients, 28(16.8%) were atypical KD of which seven(25%) were infants. Among the five cardinal symptoms, oral mucosal change(96.4%) occurred most frequently, followed by conjuntivitis(57.1%) and rash(46.4%). Most notable laboratory findings were anemia, and increased erythrocyte sedementation rate(ESR) or C-reactive protein(CRP). Coronary artery abnormalities developed in seven(25.8%) atypical KD patients, compared with 14.4% in typical KD patients. We considered oral mucosal change as major criterion, and conjunctivitis, rash, hematocrit <35% and ESR >30 mm/hr or CRP >3.1 mg/dL as minor criteria. Proposed modification in diagnostic criteria for atypical KD include fever of ${\geq}5$ days＋major criterion＋${\geq}2$ minor criteria, or fever of ${\geq}5$ days＋4 minor criteria. Conclusion : The modified diagnostic criteria has yielded a sensitivity 89.3%. Our diagnostic criteria may be used for early diagnosis of atypical KD.

Muscle stiffness, pain and discomfort in dally activities are cardinal symtoms on arthritis. To reduce these symtoms, a nonequivalent one-group pre & posttest experiment was carried out at a rural community health post area in Chonbuk province during eight weeks (from 25th of January to 20th of March, 1999). The subjects were sixteen rural old women(65-89yrs) with osteoarthritis. And to reduce the level of pain, discomfort in daily living and to increase that of life satisfaction, 30 minutes of flexibility exercise followed by $15{\sim}20\;minutes$ of local heat therapy were done three times a week. Pain scale from Arthritis Impact Measurement Scales developed by Meenan(1980) for pain, Jette's Daily Activity Discomfort Scales revised by Lee(1988) for discomfort and Life Satisfaction Scales developed by Youn(1982) for life satisfaction were used as research instruments. The data were collected by face-to-face interviews with Investigator and the experiments were done under demonstration and supervision of investigator in community health post. The data were analyzed in percentage and Wilcoxon sign rank sum test by SPSS/PC+ program. The result could be summarized as follows ; 1. The scores of experiment group who were applied hot bag followed by flexibility exercise were tended to be significant lower in the level of pain statistically(Z=4.949, P=0.0001). 2. The scores of experiment group who was applied hot bag followed by flexibility exercise were tended to be significant lower in the level of discomfort in daily living statistically(Z=2.7226, P=0.0279). 3. The scores of experiment group who was applied hot bag followed by flexibility exercise were tended to be higher in the level of life satisfaction, but there was no significant statistical difference(Z=-1.2087, P=0.2171). In conclusion, flexibility exercise with local heat therapy could be identified as an effective therapy to reduce pain and discomfort in daily living of the rural elderly with osteoarthritis. And as a community health practitioner, the investigator concluded that this exercise with local heat therapy could be developed as a health promotion program for the rural aged people.

Aids to Navigation (AtoN) are marine traffic facilities to improve the safety and efficiency of shipping. "New Dangers" should be appropriately marked using lateral, cardinal or isolated danger marks or by using an Emergency Wreck Marking Buoy. However, Emergency Wreck Marking Buoys are difficult to implement in terms of speed and accuracy of installation. In the case of sinking accidents, it is often difficult to immediately install an Emergency Wreck Marking Buoy because of weather conditions, the marine environment or accident positioning. This study concerns Auto-Releasing Emergency Wreck Marking Buoys, which should be installed in all vessel for safe marine navigation and efficient maritime transport with reference to the Maritime Buoyage System (MBS). Auto-Releasing Emergency Wreck Marking Buoys include an auto-release unit, auto reel chain and auto lighting lantern. These buoys can be automatically released from the deck of a vessel and will float in the water for quick installation at the scene of an accident, even in the case of sinking accidents. Auto-Releasing New Mark Buoys are expected to reduce to installation process, prevent secondary accidents by the risk of navigation and be search and rescue rapidly.

The reproductive ecology of the cardinalfish Apogon lineatus was examined using 4,300 specimens collected monthly from January to December 2006 in the coastal waters of Gori, Korea. Specimens ranged in standard length (SL) from 2.1 to 8.6 cm. They were distributed more in surface areas during summer and autumn and more on bottom areas during spring and winter. The gonadosomatic index (GSI) of females was highest in September and decreased until December, with the spawning season lasting from August to October. The monthly ratio of female to male did not significantly differ (${\chi}^2$-test, p>0.05). The size of 50% maturity was estimated at 5.43 cm SL and all females more than 7.0 cm SL were sexually mature. A. lineatus is a multiple spawner, spawning on more than one occasion in a single spawning season. The maximum egg diameter was 0.65 mm. Fecundity (F) ranged from 8,555 to 20,084 eggs, with a mean of 15,038 eggs. The relationship between fecundity and standard length was estimated as F=$334,851\;SL^{1.9876}$ ($R^2$=0.53). The relationship between fecundity and body weight(BW) was estimated as F=7,167.6 Ln (BW)-2,198.1 ($R^2$=0.33).

This study analyzed the casula wearing by Catholic priests. By understanding various applications of the priests' wearing of casula, we can understand the meaning of wearing casula, situational judgment, and the role and status of priests. Ultimately, the Catholic symbol and meaning of the casula can be found. The purpose of this study is to examine the basic setting of the casula, the setting according to the status of the priest, and the origin of the casula. Second, this study to understand the design of the pattern shown in the casula. The patterns containing the symbol and the liturgical period were examined, and the method of making the pattern design was considered. Third, various symbols appearing in examples of priests' rituals were considered and analyzed. The method of this study was to utilize various pictures acquired during interviews with priests and nuns and to perform content verification. As a result of this study, the aspects of form, color, and pattern were shown through the wearing of casula during various situations. First, the morphological symbols appearing in the rituals are the simplified casula that hangs on the stola on the top of the alb and the symbols of the form according to the priest's status. In the liturgy, the casula is put on the outermost side as for basic wearing, but in the case of celebration or the attendance at celebrations other than the liturgy, it is the same as simplified wearing. Second, in terms of the symbol and color, the basic colored casulas were worn to match the time and character of the liturgy, and in addition, on the priests' ordination ceremony and celebration day the priests wore white casulas. Third, the symbol of the pattern used in the casula was a Cathoric pattern according to the period in the basic casula wearing of the liturgy. In addition, the patterns were produced by combining the patterns and meaning of the priests that were used in the casulas of the priests' ordination ceremony. The design of the pattern used in the beatification mass casula and the Mass of Peace casula during the Pope's visit to Korea in 2014 used the same motif as the Pope's design, but the simplified pattern was produced for the casula of the Cardinal and bishops. Through this, it is possible to understand the situation where a morphological symbol appears due to a distinction according to the role and status of the priest. This shows that the symbols that appear are the cross and should also consider the complexly, shape, color, and pattern.

Author made a clinical study of 248 cases of pleural effusion patients who were diagnosed and treated at departments of chest surgery and internal medicine, Pusan National University Hospital, during the period from Jan. 1983 to Dec. 1985. The age distribution ranged from 1 to 76 years old and the ratio of male to female was 1.38:1. The cardinal symptoms were chest pain[69.4%], dyspnea[66.1%], cough[57.7%], fever[37.1%], sputum[26.2%], general malais[13.7%] and cyanosis[1.6%] in this order. The causes of pleural effusion were pulmonary tuberculosis[42.4%], pneumonia[23.0%], malignancy[16.5%], congestive heart failure[9.3%], liver cirrhosis[2.8%] and nephrosis[2.0%] in this order. The protein in the pleural effusions was 1.61*0.90[mean*SD] gm% in transudate and 5.05*1.10[Mean*SD] gm% in exudate. In 34 cases[89.5%]out of 38 transudates, the protein was under 3 gm% and in 201 cases [95.7%] out of 210 exudates, the protein was over 3 gm%. The protein ratio of pleural effusion to serum was 0.2650.11[Mean LSD] in transudates and 0.73*0.12[Mean LSD] in exudate. The ratio under 0.5 was in 36 cases[94.8%] out of 38 transudates and over 0.5 was in 206 cases[98.1%] out of 210 exudates. The LDH in the pleural effusion was 114.7550.3[mean*SD] units / ml in transudate and 627.05325.9[mean*SD] units / ml in exudate. The LDH less than 200 units / ml was in 36 cases[94.6%] out of 38 transudates and more than 200 units / ml was in 199 cases[94.7%] out of 210 exudates. The LDH ratio of pleural effusion to serum was 0.34k 0.11[mean*SD] in transudate and 1.15*1.12[mean*SD] in exudate. The LDH ratio of pleural effusion to serum was less than 0.6 in 36 cases[94.8%]out of 38 transudates and more than 0.6 in 200 cases[95.2%] out of 210 exudates. Etiologic organisms were confirmed in 78 cases[48.1%] among the requested 162 cases. In the 78 cases of etiologic organisms, staphylococcus was 33 cases[20.3%], streptococcus 24 cases[14.8%], Klebsiella pneumonia 7 cases[4.3%], pseudomonas 6 cases[3.7%], E. coli[3.1%], enterobacter 3 cases[1.9%]. 43 patient of pleural effusion from malignancy were undergone three or more thoracenteses. In 13 cases[31.7%], three specimen were negative and in 7 cases[17.1%], three specimens were positive for malignancy. In the remaining of 21 cases[51.2%], malignant cells were found in one or more of the specimens but not in all. Methods of treatment of pleural effusion by closed thoracotomy was 188 cases[75.8%], thoracentesis 27 cases[10.9%], decortication 16 cases[6.5%], thoracoplasty 6 cases[2.4%] and decortication with thoracoplasty 3 cases[1.2%].

This study evaluated the awareness and recognition of Tangpyeongchae by university students in Chungnam province. A total of 416 questionnaires were analyzed using the SPSS software program (version 21.0). The results were summarized as follows. The students compared of food and nutrition majors (59.4%) and non-food and nutrition majors (40.6%). This survey was performed from May 20 to Jun 8, 2015. More food and nutrition major students got better impression after eating Tangpyeongchae than non-food and nutrition majors. Among the students, 59.4% was not aware that Tangpyeongchae was derived from Tangpyeongchaek, and 57.7% didn't know that it was a Korean royal cuisine. Food and nutrition major students knew more of the background story for the dish than non-food and nutrition major students. The corresponding level of recognition for Tangpyeongchae as a dish representing the image of Korea with a combination of the 5 cardinal colors, known as obangsaek was high, at 4.27 and 4.17, respectively out of 5. Over 60% of the students answered Tangpyeongchae's image with the taste of Korea, followed by healthy food, harmony, nutritious food, diet food and tasty food. These results suggest that may have great potential for globalization as a traditional dish with the image and taste of Korea.
