Autonomous robots are intelligent machines that are capable of performing task in the world themselves with little or no human intervention. One of the main reason autonomous robots gained popularity in human's world is their ability to perform task with high degree of precision, accuracy and also consistency. One of the most studied fields in autonomous robot is the ability of decision making in robots. To tackle the ability of robots to make decision, this paper proposed an Autonomous Maze Solving Robot that is able to solve a maze using the optimum solution. The maze and the design of the robot are in compliance with IEEE Micromouse competition rules and regulation. Micromouse is an autonomous maze solving robot that shall be able to explore a maze on its own from a predefined starting location and find the optimum path to reach the predefined goal in the maze without human's intervention.

Objectives : The purpose of this study is to review which acupoints and meridians are selected to treat visceral pain in articles published in international journals and to investigate quality of reporting acupuncture intervention according to the STRICTA guidelines. Methods : Electrical and hand search were conducted in PubMed, EMBASE, MEDLINE, and Cochrane Library for acupuncture studies on visceral pain in human and animals. Reporting quality of intervention was evaluated using the revised STRICTA guidelines. Results : We included 51 articles (7 clinical studies and 44 animal studies) in this study. The most frequently adopted meridians and acupoints were Stomach meridian, Spleen meridian, Conception Vessel meridian, and ST36, CV4, SP6, LI4, PC6, SP9, ST25, ST37 in clinical studies. In animal studies, Stomach meridian, Conception Vessel meridian, Pericardium meridian and ST36, ST37, CV12, PC6 were most frequently used. Animal studies showed significantly lower quality of reporting compared to clinical studies. According to the analysis on the effect of year of publication of articles, announcement of STRICTA guidelines did not improve the quality of reporting for studies on visceral pain. Conclusions : These results suggest that both proximal and distal acupoints based on meridian theory were used to study the underlying mechanisms of visceral pain both in human and animal studies. Guidelines of acupuncture intervention reporting for animal study is necessary to improve the quality of evidence, and it will also allow us the integrative understanding of the mechanisms and clinical effects of acupuncture treatment in human and animal.

Background: Cervical cancer is the fourth most common cancer among women worldwide. Studies evaluating the effect of health education on knowledge and perception of cervical cancer have generated conflicting results. Thus, this study aimed to evaluate the effect of educational intervention towards knowledge of HPV vacccination for cervical cancer prevention among pre-university students in Malaysia. Materials and Methods: This was an experimental before and after study performed between October 2014 and March 2015. Five hundred and eighty students were randomly assigned into intervention and control groups. All were required to complete both pre-intervention and post-intervention questionnaires. Those in the intervention group were given an information leaflet to read before answering the post-intervention questionnaire. Results: Almost half (48.3%) of the students had poor knowledge, with a score less than 5, and only 51 (8.8%) exhibited good knowledge, with a score of 11 and above. After educational intervention, the number of students with poor knowledge was reduced to 177 (29.3%) and the number of students who exhibited good knowledge increased to 148 (25.5%). Students from the intervention group demonstrated significant higher total scores in knowledge regarding 'HPV infection and cervical cancer' (p=0.000) and 'HPV vaccination and cervical cancer prevention' (p=0.000) during post-intervention as compared to the control group. Conclusions: Knowledge on HPV infection and vaccination is low among pre-university students. Educational intervention in the form of information leaflets appears effective in creating awareness and improving knowledge.

Background: The purpose of this study was to assess the effectiveness of a recombinant human epidermal growth factor (EGF)-based cream for the prevention of acute radiation dermatitis in breast cancer patients receiving radiotherapy (RT). Materials and Methods: Between December 2012 and April 2013, 40 breast cancer patients who received postoperative RT were prospectively enrolled in this study and randomly assigned to receive human recombinant EGF-based cream (intervention group) or general supportive skin care (control group). The grade of radiation dermatitis and pain score were examined at weekly intervals during RT and 6 weeks after RT completion. Results: All patients completed the planned RT and complied well with instructions for applying the study cream and general supportive skin care. In the intervention group, radiation dermatitis of maximum grade 3, 2, and 1 developed in 3 (15%), 11 (55%), and 6 patients (30%), respectively. In comparison, in the control group, radiation dermatitis of maximum grade 3, 2, and 1 developed in 8 (40%), 10 (50%), and 2 patients (10%), respectively. The intervention group showed lower incidence of grade 3 radiation dermatitis than the control group (p=0.068 in univariate analysis and p=0.035 in multivariate analysis). There was no statistically significant difference in the maximal pain score between the two groups (p=0.934). Conclusions: This single-blind randomized preliminary study showed that recombinant human EGF-based cream can have a beneficial role in preventing or minimizing radiation dermatitis in breast cancer patients. To confirm the results of our study, additional studies with a large sample size are required.

모바일 서비스와 교육 보조 로봇이 발달함에 따라, 로봇은 우리의 삶의 일부가 되었고 교육 보조 로봇은 선생님을 보조해 학생들의 교육과 학습에 참여하고 있다. 본 논문은 교육 보조 로봇의 자율성의 정도를 표시하는 자율성 지수를 측정하기 위한 방법을 규정한다. 자율성은 사람의 개입 없이 현재 상태 및 센서 값을 기반으로 주어진 작업을 수행하는 능력이다. 교육 보조 로봇의 자율성 지수는 작업 수준과 사람의 개입 수준으로 구성되며 1단계에서부터 10단계로 정의한다. 제안 방식은 지능형로봇표준포럼(KOROS) 표준으로 채택이 되었으며 해당 표준은 자율적으로 학생들을 지도하는데 활용이 가능하다. 향후 교육 보조 로봇을 활용한 교육 서비스에 큰 혜택을 가져올 것으로 예상하며 그 활용 분야 역시 교육 발전에 크게 이바지할거라 기대한다.

뇌신경계 인터벤션시술은 장시간의 시술로 인해 피부의 수포 탈모 홍반등의 방사선 피폭으로 인한 위해가 빈번히 보고되어 지고 있다. 이에 CT(computed tomography) scan 시 피부 및 방사선 감수성이 예민한 인체의 전방부에 위치한 표적장기의 방사선 피폭을 감소시킬 목적으로 제작된 bismuth 차폐체를 인체공학적인 설계에 의하여 뇌혈관계 인터벤션 시술에 적용함으로써 방사선 감수성이 비교적 예민한 두피의 방사선 피폭 저감화를 위하여 연구를 제안 하고자 한다.
