The biomedical applications of chitosan have been widely researched. FN mediates its biological effects through binding to the hetero-dimeric transmembrane glycoproteins, integrins, which physically couple the cytoskeleton to the ECM. FN binds to the integrin through a consensus site including the Arg-Gly-Asp (RGD) sequence within tenth type III module (Ruoslahti & Pierschbacher 1987). A short sequence Pro-His-Ser-Arg-Asn (PHSRN) has also been identified as a synergistic motif within ninth type III module for binding to ${\alpha}$5${\beta}$1 integrin (Aota et al. 1994). (omitted)

본 논문에서는 금융 도메인 특화 사전학습 언어모델인 KF-DeBERTa(Korean Finance DeBERTa)를 제안한다. KF-DeBERTa는 대규모의 금융 말뭉치를 기반으로 학습하였으며, Transformer 아키텍처와 DeBERTa의 특징을 기반으로 구성되었다. 범용 및 금융 도메인에 대한 평가에서 KF-DeBERTa는 기존 언어모델들에 비해 상당히 높은 성능을 보였다. 특히, 금융 도메인에서의 성능은 매우 두드러졌으며, 범용 도메인에서도 다른 모델들을 상회하는 성능을 나타냈다. KF-DeBERTa는 모델 크기 대비 높은 성능 효율성을 보여주었고, 앞으로 금융 도메인에서의 활용도가 기대된다.

This study was performed to assess the relationships between bone mineral density(BMD), anthropometric measurements, and maternal factors in postmenopausal women. The anthropometric measurements were taken by a trained practitioner, and the maternal factors of the 85 subjects in Chungnam were acquired by an interview questionaire. The BMDs of the lumbar $spines(L_2-L_4)$, femoral necks(FN), ward's triangles(WT), and trochanters(TR) were measured by dual energy X-ray absorptiometry(DEXA). The BMDs(T-score) for $L_2-L_4$, FN, and WT were 0.996 $g/cm^2$(-1.601), 0.697 $g/cm^2(-1.657)$, and 0.793 $g/cm^2(-1.512)$ respectively, which were assessed as osteopenia by the T-score ; TR was noma1 at 0.718 $g/cm^2(-0.675)$. The 85 subjects in Chungnam were divided into three groups according to their BMD measurements for $L_2-L_4$ and FN, assessed by the T-score. The percentages in the osteoporosis, osteopenia, and normal groups were 32.9%, 42.4, and 24.7%, respectively. The average age was significantly the highest in the osteoporosis group than in the other two osteopenia and normal group(p<0.001). The subjects' BMDs were positively correlated with weight, height, BMI, waist, WHR, OBR and hip circumference, and negatively correlated with the age, duration time after menopause, lactation, the age of last delivery, menarche age, and number of children. The average age at menopause was 48.8. The osteoporosis group's average age at menopause was lower than those of the other groups. However, the BMD of the lumbar spine positively correlated with duration time after menopause and the BMD of the femoral neck with lactation, last delivery, menarch age, number of children. Therefore, researches are needed to find out the effective way to minimize the effect of age and other physiological conditions on the decrease of bone mass density.

This study was undertaken to evaluate the prevalence of underlying significant lesions among women referred for colposcopy after atypical glandular cell (AGC) smears and the associated risks. The present study reviewed data from women with AGC smears undergoing colposcopy at the Colposcopy Clinic, Faculty of Medicine, Khon Kaen University, Thailand between January 2001 to December 2014. Significant lesions included cervical intraepithelial neoplasia grade 2-3, adenocarcinoma in situ, endometrial hyperplasia, and cancer. During the study period, 170 women with AGC cytology were reviewed. The mean age was 45.7 years. Thirty-eight women (22.4%) were postmenopausal. Eighteen smears (10.6%) were further subclassified as AGC-favor neoplasia (AGC-FN). In total, significant lesions were noted in 27 women (15.9%; 95%CI, 7.8%-18.3%). Thirteen women (7.6%, 95%CI, 4.1%-12.7%) were found to have cervical cancer or endometrial cancer. Two variables were independently associated with an increased risk of significant histopathology results: level of educational attainment (secondary level or lower versus bachelor degree or higher) and types of AGC (AGC versus AGC-FN). Women who had low level of education and those with AGC-FN were at the higher risk of significant lesions (OR, 3.16; 95%CI 1.10-9.11 and OR, 4.62; 95%CI, 1.54-13.85, respectively). In conclusion, the rate of significant lesions among women referred for colposcopy after AGC smears is considerably high. Low education and smear subtypes appear independently associated with a higher risk of significant lesions.

Background: Febrile neutropenia (FN) is a serious complication following chemotherapy and is associated with significant mortality and financial expenditure. The aim of this study was to evaluate risk factors for longer length of stay (LOS) and mortality and cost of treatment among hospitalized adults with cancer who developed febrile neutropenia in Thailand. Materials and Methods: Information on illness of inpatients and casualties came from hospitals nationwide and from hospital withdrawals from the 3 health insurance schemes in fiscal 2010. The data covered 96% of the population and were analyzed by age groups, hospital level, and insurance year schemes in patients with febrile neutropenia. Results: A total of 5,809 patients were identified in the study. The mortality rate was 14%. The median LOS was 8.67 days and 69% of patients stayed for longer than 5 days. On bivariate analysis, age, cancer type, and infectious complications (bacteremia/sepsis, hypotension, fungal infections, and pneumonia) were significantly associated with longer LOS and death. On multivariate analysis, acute leukemia and infectious complications were linked with longer LOS and death significantly. The median cost of hospitalized FN was THB 33,686 (USD 1,122) with the highest cost observed in acute leukemia patients. Conclusions: FN in adult patients results in significant mortality in hospitalized Thai patients. Factors associated with increased mortality include older age (>70), acute leukemia, comorbidity, and infectious complications.

현재 사용되고 있는 플로팅 게이트를 이용한 플래시 메모리 소자는 비례축소에 의해 발생하는 단 채널 효과, 펀치스루 효과 및 소자간 커플링 현상과 같은 문제로 소자의 크기를 줄이는데 한계가 있다. 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위하여 silicon nitride와 같은 절연체를 전자의 트랩층으로 사용하는 charge trap flash (CTF) 메모리 소자에 대한 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. CTF 메모리 소자의 전기적 특성에 대한 연구는 활발히 진행 되었지만, 수치 해석 모델을 사용하여 메모리 소자의 전하수송 메커니즘을 분석한 연구는 매우 적다. 본 연구에서는 수치 해석 모델을 적용하여 개발한 시뮬레이터를 사용하여 CTF 메모리 소자의 프로그램 동작 시 전하수송 메커니즘에 대한 연구를 하였다. 시뮬레이터에 사용된 모델은 연속방정식, 포아송 방정식과 Shockley-Read-Hall 재결합 모델을 수치해석적 방법으로 계산하였다. 또한 CTF 소자 프로그램 동작 시 트랩 층으로 주입되는 전자의 양은 Wentzel-Kramers-Brillouin 근사 법을 이용하여 계산하였다. 트랩 층에 트랩 되었던 전자의 방출 모델은 이온화 과정을 사용하였다. 게이트와 트랩 층 사이의 터널링은 Fowler-Nordheim (FN) tunneling 모델, Direct tunneling 모델, Modified FN tunneling 모델을 적용하였다. FN tunneling 만을 적용했을때 보다 세가지 모델을 적용했을 때가 더 실험치와의 오차가 적었다. 그 이유는 시뮬레이션 결과를 통해 인가된 전계에 의해 Bottom Oxide 층의 에너지 밴드 구조가 변화하여 세가지 tunneling 모델의 구역이 발생하는 것을 확인 할 수 있었다. 계산된 결과의 전류-전압 곡선을 통해 CTF 메모리 소자의 프로그램 동작 특성을 관찰하였다. 트랩 층의 전도대역과 트랩 층 내부에 분포하는 전자의 양을 시간에 따라 계산하여 트랩 밀도가 시간이 지남에 따라 일정 값에 수렴하고 많은 전하가 트랩 될 수록 전하 주입이 줄어듬을 관찰 하였다. 이와 같은 시뮬레이션 결과를 통해 CTF 메모리의 트랩층에서 전하의 이동에 대해 더 많이 이해하여 CTF 소자가 가진 문제점 해결에 도움을 줄 것이다.

A total of 216 women of natural menopause over 40 years were interviewed to find the relationships among general environmental fctors, anthropometric measurements, daily nutrient intake, and BMD. The average age of the subjects was 54.0 years. Average ages of menarche and menopause were 16.7 years and 47.7 years, respectively. In general, energy and nutrients intake of the subjects were relatively low compared to the Korean recommended dietary allowances(RDA). Specifically, intakes of energy, protein, clcium, iron, and vitamin A were lower than Korean RDA, BMD levels of lumbar spin (LS), femoral neck(FN), ward's triangle(WT), and trochanter(TC) were significantly decreased wit age in descending order of LS, FN, TC, and WT BMD, accordingly. BMD levels of FN and TC of the subjects were higher compared to those of the same age but BMD levels of LS and WT were lower than those of the same age from the general population. For factors related to BMD levels, hight, weight, BMI, and hip circumference had positive correlations with BMD. On the other hand, menarche, and WHR had negative correlations with BMD. Protein, lipid, iron, vitamin B1, vitamin B2, and niacin intake among factors related nutrient intakes were positively correlated with BMD levels. Based on the stepwise regression analysis, the factors and vitamin B1 intakes. Overall, BMD was decreased with age as can be expected. For those being tall, moderately weighed, and smaller waist circumference, BMD levels were high when the relationships of body characteristics and BMD levels were considered. The higher BMD levels were found for those with high intake of protein and vitamin B1. From the findings, it is suggested that the women after menopause keep the optimum body weight and good eating habits. Specially intakes of good quality protein, vitamin B1 seemed to be important.

Six sigma is an innovative management movement which provides improved business process by adapting the paradigm and the trend of market and customers. Suitable selection of six sigma project could highly reduce the costs, improve the quality, and enhance the customer satisfaction. There are existing studies on the selection of Six Sigma projects, but few studies have been conducted to select the correct project under an incomplete information environment. The purpose of this study is to propose the application of integrated MCDM techniques for correct project selection under incomplete information. The project selection process of six sigma involves four steps as follows: 1) determination of project selection criteria 2) calculation of relative importance of team member's competencies 3) assessment with project preference scale 4) finalization of ranking the projects. This study proposes the combination methods by applying group fuzzy Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP), an easy defuzzified number of Trapezoidal Fuzzy Number (TrFN) and Grey Relational Analysis (GRA). Both of the weight of project selection criteria and the relative importance of team member's competencies can be evaluated by group fuzzy AHP. Project preferences are assessed by easy defuzzified scale of TrFN in case of incomplete information.)
