Cervical cancer resulting from prior infection with human papillomavirus (HPV) is a significant public health threat against young Japanese women. A national immunization plan to vaccinate 13~16 year old female students against HPV infection has been started in Japan since 2010, and may reach almost full coverage by the end of 2012. Older age females who may already be sexually active are not targeted by this plan but should follow safer sex practices as well as periodic screening of the cervix cytology to reduce their risk of developing cervical cancer. HPV vaccination alone does not offer full protection either, because only some HPV types are covered by the vaccines and the long-term efficacy of the vaccines has not been determined yet. Therefore, we did a survey at an international university in Japan to study the knowledge and attitude of female college students towards prevention of cervical cancer, to examine the age when they start sexual activity and other related attributes that may influence the risk of cervical cancer. We discuss the results of our survey and what they imply for the possible impact of an HPV immunization plan on the risk of cervical cancer in Japan, and conclude by an emphasis on the need to increase awareness among Japanese female adolescents and to enhance the cervical screening rates among older females who are already sexually active.

최근 바이오폴리머 소재를 이용하여 자연 흙의 강도와 식생의 생장을 증진하는 새로운 제방 소재가 개발되었다. 본 연구에서는 바이오폴리머 혼합토를 친환경 제방 재료로 활용하기 위해 혼합토로 조성된 식생 매트의 한계 소류력을 평가하였다. 혼합토는 베타글루칸을 주재료로 모래와 황토를 혼합하여 조성하였다. 실규모 시험체를 제작하여 혼합토를 3 cm 도포하였으며 식생과 매트를 이용하여 4개의 시험체를 제작하였다. 실규모 실험에 의해 손상과 토양유실을 관측하여 한계 소류력을 결정하였다. 식생 호안의 특성상 식생의 피복도에 따라 영향을 받기는 하지만 식생이 활착된 경우 개략적으로 한계소류력 42 N/㎡, 한계유속 4 m/sec을 실험을 통해 확인하였다. 또한 매트공법이 적용된 경우에는 뿌리와 매트의 결합으로 침식저항성이 강화됨을 확인하였다.

A patient with TMJ osteoarthritis and anterior open bite was treated with an intermaxillary traction device. Pretreatment examination revelaed a pain in both TMJ during mouth opening, moderate tendernesso f left sternocleidomastoid and right trapezius muscles. Anterior open Bite was aobserved with interincisal distance of 2mm. Tomograms and MRI showed anterior disc displacement withouit reductoin of both temporomandibular joints, and the condyles were flattened and slightly eroded. A pair of full-coverage occlusal appliances was made on both maxillary and mandibular dentition, with pivoting fulcrum on the site of the second moalr. Traction force was gained by the intermaxillary orthodontic elastics which were hooked by orthodontic brackets on the labial surfaces of the upper and lower anterior and premolar teeth. After 8 weeks of traction treatment, the joint pain was subsided completely and the anterior open bite was closed to get an edge to edge relationship of anterior teeth.

Insurance medicine has been known to medical risk selection. The role of insurance medicine is sound maintenance of insurance system. So it's function is medical underwriting of life risks. However, emerging market has insufficient medical epidemiological research that is necessary for estimation of extra-risk and such market is usually lack of full understanding of life insurance among insurance customers. This problem makes difficult of performing the medical underwriting, as an original insurance medicine. Medical contributions at the stage of claims adjudication comparing the coverage provided in the product, with the information provided in the claims, based on medical records and the agreement between them. This is called medical verification. The insurance doctors can also use their medical knowledge to help the claims staff with informing claimants about the medical basis of claims decisions.

In this paper, we propose an efficient dynamic workload balancing strategy which improves the performance of high-performance computing system. The key idea of this dynamic workload balancing strategy is to minimize execution time of each job and to maximize the system throughput by effectively using system resource such as CPU, memory. Also, this strategy dynamically allocates job by considering demanded memory size of executing job and workload status of each node. If an overload node occurs due to allocated job, the proposed scheme migrates job, executing in overload nodes, to another free nodes and reduces the waiting time and execution time of job by balancing workload of each node. Through simulation, we show that the proposed dynamic workload balancing strategy based on CPU, memory improves the performance of high-performance computing system compared to previous strategies.

IoT환경에서는 소프트웨어의 안전성과 무결성이 중요하다. 하지만 IoT의 제한된 성능 때문에 소프트웨어 검증에 음영지역이 발생한다. 제한된 제어 변조 공격은 이러한 음영지역을 목표로, 대상 프로그램의 핵심 분기문을 변조하여 동작을 조작한다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 공격에 대응하여 프로그램에 marker를 직접 주입하고 확인함으로써 공격을 탐지하는 효율적인 기법을 제안한다.

The electronic and magnetic properties of Cu-doped GaN with a Cu concentration of 6.25% and 12.5% are examined theoretically using the full-potential linear muffin-tin orbital method. The magnetic moment of Cu atoms decreases with increasing Cu concentration. The spin-polarization of Cu atoms is reduced due to the Cu d-d interaction depending on the distance between the nearest neighbouring Cu atoms. Cu atoms exhibits a clustering tendency in GaN. For Cu-adsorbed GaN thin films with a surface coverage of 0.25, the ferromagnetic state is found to be the energetically favourable state with an induced magnetic moment of $0.54\;{\mu}_B$ per supercell.

The use of fluoride and other preventive methods caused a dramatic decline in dental caries and the need for restorative dentistry. In our modern society that places a high value on appearance, emphasis is now shifting towards esthetic dentistry which has experienced a high popularity with the development of bonding techniques and materials including porcelain and composite. To satisfy patients wanting whiter teeth and a better looking smile, there are many treatment options ranging from full crown coverage to conservative procedures such as bleaching. Whether bleaching should be combined with other esthetic procedures or used alone depends on the type of discoloration and the patient's willingness to accept the various treatment options. Therefore, in order to obtain a successful esthetic outcome, careful diagnosis and treatment planning followed by consultation with the patient is of utmost importance.

High-quality one-dimensional GaN nanorods and nanowires were synthesized on Ni-coated c-plan sapphire substrate using halide vapor-phase epitaxy (HVPE). Their structure and optical properties were investigated by X-ray diffraction, scanning and transmission electron microscopy, and photoluminescence techniques. Full substrate coverage of densely packed, uniform, straight and aligned one-dimensional GaN nanowires with a diameter of 80nm were grown at $700{\sim}900^{\circ}C$. The X-ray diffraction patterns, transmission electron microscopic image, and selective area electron diffraction patterns indicate that the one-dimensional GaN nanostructures are a pure single crystalline and preferentially oriented in the [001] direction. We observed high optical quality of GaN nanowires by photoluminescence analysis.
