Wage is a very important issue not only for the workers' current living but also for the future laboring landscape. As of 2014, it is reported that about 290,000 workers suffer from delay in payment of wage. The construction industry is particularly labor-intensive, which implies that delay in payment of wage is a serious problem. Despite this fact, in terms of the delayed payment of wage most studies have been conducted on the improvement of a system to resolve delayed payment in exclusion of labor workers' awareness and thinking. Thus, the purpose of this study is to understand construction labor' awareness and analyze the effectiveness of the resolution step of the delayed payment of wage based on construction labors' awareness. In the research result, more than 30 percent of all construction labors and managers are never aware of the settlement procedure of the delayed payment, and it appears that the resolution step system needs to be greatly improved. In conclusion, it is expected that this study will be utilized as fundamental data for the settlement procedure of the delayed payment, and the influence of delayed payment on construction labors' safety behavior and productivity should be further studied in the future.

PURPOSES : Two-lane highways have one lane in each direction, and lane changing and passing maneuvers take place in the opposing lane depending on the availability of passing sight distance. 2001 Korea Highway Capacity Manual (KHCM) is classified into two classes of two-lane highways (Type I, II), and average travel speed and time-delayed rate are used as measures of effectiveness (MOEs). However, since existing two-lane highways have both uninterrupted and interrupted traffic flow-system elements, a variety of free-flow speeds exhibits in two-lane highways. In addition, it is necessary to check if the linear-relationship between volumes and time-delayed rate is appropriate. Then, this study is to reestablish the relationship between average travel speed, time-delayed rate, and flow. METHODS : TWOPAS model was selected to conduct this study, and the free-flow speeds of passenger cars and the percentage of following vehicles observed in two-lane highways were applied to the model as the input. The revised relationships were developed from the computer simulation. RESULTS : In the revised average travel speed vs. flow relationship, the free-flow speed of 90km/h and 70km/h were added. It shows that the relationship between time delayed-rate and flow appeared to be appropriate with the log-function form and that there was no difference in time-delayed rate between the free flow speeds. In addition to revise the relationships, the speed prediction model and the time-delayed rate prediction model were also developed. CONCLUSIONS : The revised relationships between average travel speed, time-delayed rate, and flow would be useful in estimating the Level of Service(LOS) of a two-lane highway.

Background The free anterolateral thigh (ALT) flap has been widely used for various kinds of reconstructions. However, delayed healing at the donor site occasionally occurs due to wound dehiscence or the partial loss of grafted skin at the donor site. The aim of the present study was to identify reliable predictive factors for delayed healing at the donor site after the harvest of a free ALT flap. Methods This study included 52 patients who underwent reconstructive procedures using free ALT flaps. The delayed healing group included patients with wounds at the donor site that had not healed over 3 weeks after surgery, and the normal healing group included patients who showed wound healing within 3 weeks after surgery. Multivariate logistic regression models were created to identify the risk factors for delayed healing at the ALT flap donor site. Results Among the 52 patients, 24 (46.2%) showed delayed healing at the donor site, and 6 patients required additional operative treatment. A high preoperative body mass index (BMI), smoking, and skin grafting were found to be significantly associated with delayed healing at the ALT donor site. Of the 37 patients who underwent skin grafting, 23 (62%) experienced delayed healing at the donor site. Conclusions A high preoperative BMI, smoking, and skin grafting were risk factors for delayed healing at the free ALT donor site. Skin grafting at the ALT donor site should be avoided in patients with a high BMI or a habit of smoking.

Background: High doses of methotrexate (MTX) are often used in various chemotherapy protocols to treat acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) and non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) in children, but its delayed elimination increases the occurrence of adverse events, such as bone marrow suppression. The aim of this study was to investigate the elimination of MTX at 24 and 48 hours. Methods: We retrospectively analyzed electronic medical records of ALL or NHL pediatric patients who received $5g/m^2$ MTX infusion over 24 hours (between June, 2012 and July, 2018) at the Yonsei University Health System, Korea. The delayed elimination of MTX concentrations was assessed with 100 or $150{\mu}M$ MTX at 24 hours, and 2 or $5{\mu}M$ at 48 hours. Results: Among the 85 MTX cycles administered, 23 cycles were classified in delayed elimination group, and 62 cycles showed normal elimination. At 24 hours, the delayed elimination group with MTX concentration > $100{\mu}M$ showed higher percentage than group with MTX concentration < $100{\mu}M$ (45.8% vs. 19.7%, p = 0.015). However, no differences were observed at $150{\mu}M$ MTX (p = 0.66). At 48 hours, the delayed elimination was higher than the normal elimination at both concentration baselines (p < 0.001 at $2{\mu}M$, p = 0.024 at $5{\mu}M$). Conclusions: MTX concentrations greater than $100{\mu}M$ show high probability of delayed elimination at 24 hours. When MTX levels are above normal, leucovorin and hydration regimens should be continued to prevent delayed elimination.

The etiology and pathophysiology of delayed inflammatory reactions caused by hyaluronic acid fillers have not yet been elucidated. Previous studies have suggested that the etiology can be attributed to the hyaluronic acid filler itself, patient's immunological status, infection, and injection technique. Hyaluronic acid fillers are composed of high-molecular weight hyaluronic acids that are chemically cross-linked using substances such as 1,4-butanediol diglycidyl ether (BDDE). The mechanism by which BDDE cross-links the two hyaluronic acid disaccharides is still unclear and it may exist as a fully reacted cross-linker, pendant cross-linker, deactivated cross-linker, and residual cross-linker. The hyaluronic acid filler also contains impurities such as silicone oil and aluminum during the manufacturing process. Impurities can induce a foreign body reaction when the hyaluronic acid filler is injected into the body. Aseptic hyaluronic acid filler injections should be performed while considering the possibility of biofilm formation or delayed inflammatory reaction. Delayed inflammatory reactions tend to occur when patients experience flu-like illnesses; thus, the patient's immunological status plays an important role in delayed inflammatory reactions. Large-bolus hyaluronic acid filler injections can induce foreign body reactions and carry a relatively high risk of granuloma formation.

Delayed eruption of the first molar, without a generalized or localized cause, is usually associated with delayed development of the affected tooth. The aim of this study was to investigate the clinical features of the first permanent molar showing delayed development and eruption, and its association with developmental anomalies of other teeth. Panoramic radiographs of 40 healthy children showing delayed development and eruption of first permanent molars were analyzed. The clinical features of affected first molars and developmental anomalies of other teeth (except third molars) were evaluated. Delayed first molars were more frequent in the maxilla. The incidence of bilateral delayed development of first molars was greater than that of unilateral cases in female patients. In contrast, male patients showed unilateral delayed development of the first molar more frequently. A higher incidence of congenitally missing teeth was observed in patients with delayed first molar. In each case, delayed development or congenital absence was observed in the second molar adjacent to the delayed first molar. Overall, delayed first molar seems to be associated with congenital absence of additional teeth. Understanding the developmental mechanisms of this phenomenon requires further studies.

Among the permanent teeth. the first permanent molars play the greatest role in occlusion and function. So, the congenital missing, abnormal reuption or abnormal formation of the first permanent molars in the course of arch development would inflict normal development of dental arches. Therefore, early detection of abnormal cases related to first permanent molars and understanding of current and predictable clinical problems are essential for proper occlusal guidance in children. With the aim of investigating the clinical patterns of delayed eruption of first permanent molars in children, panoramic tomograms of the childern in mixed and early permanent dentition were observed and analyzed. The results were as follows: 1. Among the delayed eruption of first permanent molars, on tooth or bilateral teeths were affected most frequently. Delayed eruption was more prevalent in maxilla than in mandible. 2. The formation of tardily erupted teeth were also delayed. 3. Delayed eruption was generally limited in first molars or molar segments. 4. Delayed eruption of first permanent molars is accompanied by abnormal position of tooth germs, for example, ectopic eruption, delayed dental age, delayed localized tooth formation and generalized congenital missing. 5. There was a tendency of delayed formation or congenital missing of second molars distal to tardily erupted 1st molars. And that was more marked in maxilla than in mandible. 6. There was reported that affected 1st molars show various size and shapes. Maxillary 1st molars showing delayed eruption showed a tendency of having 3 cusps. But, tardily erupted mandibular 1st molars showed no significant reduction in mesiodistal dimension, as reported. 7. In some cases, the delayed eruption of 1st permanent molars was associated with ectopic eruption, but their formation was not usually retarded. 8. In skeletal class III cases, there showed a tendency of mandibular 1st molars to erupt earlier than maxillary 1st molars with greater interval than in normal occlusion.

In this paper we consider the discrete time delayed renewal risk model. We investigate what will happen when the distribution function of the discounted proper deficit is asymptotic in the initial surplus. In doing this we establish several lemmas regarding some related ruin quantities in the discrete time delayed renewal risk model, which are of significance on their own right.

This paper proposed the new control law which is defined by instantaneous output and time delayed output. To analyze the system with time delayed output, the way which transforms output time delayed systems into instantaneous output systems is presented. The output responses were more improved by the new control law then that of the instantaneous output control law. The algorithm for simulation and a numerical example are presented.
