After the Iraq war, the Korean government established an Iraq Peace and Reconstruction Division, 'Zaytun'. Zaytun division has been dispatched in northern Iraq, since August 3, 2004. As one of our missions, 'Zaytun Hospital' was built to support the demand for the insufficient medical facilities and supplies in Iraq, which was opened on November 27, 2004. Zaytun Hospital, equipped with modern operation room and general ward, has been composed of 12 clinical departments. Although we had many problems, such as difficulty of communication with Iraqis, connection with medical facilities of Iraq and risk of terrorism, we overcame these difficulties and were able to achieve our missions successfully. I wish that our special experience in Iraq are will be the guideline to other oral and maxillofacial surgeons, who want to help those individual in unfortunate areas such as Iraq.

The current study explains how corruption, terrorism, political stability and oil price has an effect on on the Iraq stock exchange utilizing corruption perception index as a proxy of corruption, global terrorism index as proxy for terrorism, political stability and oil price with ISX60 index as proxy of stock market for the period (2005-2019) using Ordinary Least Square method. The results show that the level of corruption, terrorism activities and political stability coefficient is significantly positive with Iraq stock exchange. In contrast, the oil price coefficient is significantly negative with Iraq stock exchange, which means that lower levels of corruption, less terrorism activities and more stability in political system have strong influence on stock market development in Iraq. The study concludes that the explanatory variables are important for Iraq stock exchange. Hence, the study suggests the policy makers to develop stock market by implementing policies and strategies to overcome high level of corruption, terrorism activities especially after ISIS/ISIL announcement has been made public. There is a need for transparency and creating stable political environment through good governance practices in order to attract more foreign investment and promote economic development. Factors like terrorism and corruption make economic and political systems unstable and has an adverse effect on on Iraq's stock exchange performance.

A method of analysis of the steady-state performance of induction motor with supply voltage controlled by cyclically-triggered inline thyristors is presented. Phase-variable model and asymmetrical components are not used in this analysis. Instead, Fast Fourier Transform technique and the method of multiple reference frames are employed to obtain the constant-speed performance of I.M. easily.

이라크 전쟁의 실제 목적은 미국이 이라크의 석유를 장악하고 중동지역에서 패권을 유지하기 위한 것이었다. 이 전쟁을 전후하여 전 세계적으로 반미와 반전운동이 확산된다. 이라크 전쟁은 한국 시가 '한국전쟁과 분단'이라는 특수성을 넘어서 보편적인 차원에서의 '전쟁'과 '반전'을 주제로 하게 되는 중요한 계기이다. 그것은 '반전'과 '평화'라는 전 세계적이고 동시대적인 이슈에 동참하는 것을 의미한다. 이라크 전쟁을 소재로 한 한국 시들은 참상을 고발하고 증언하는 시, 전쟁의 원인을 규명하는 시, 대안과 해결책을 제시하는 시로 나누어진다. 전쟁의 참상을 그린 시들은 폭력에 희생된 현장을 생생하게 그려냄으로써 미국이 저지른 만행을 고발한다. 이를 위해 실제 작전명을 인유하기도 하고 이라크 아이를 화자로 내세워 호소력을 더하기도 한다. 여기서 시인은 전쟁의 폭력성과 부당함을 폭로하고 증언하는 역할을 한다. 전쟁의 원인을 규명하는 데 초점을 맞추는 시들은, 이라크 전쟁이 미국의 제국주의적 야욕에 기인한 것이고, 미국의 침략 행위가 오래 전부터 전 세계에 걸쳐져 있는 것임을 폭로한다. 한국전쟁과 그로 이한 한국의 피해 역시 같은 맥락에서 설명된다. 이와는 달리 '전쟁'이라는 사건이 발생하는 원인을 인간의 이기적인 속성과 자기중심성에서 찾는 경우도 있다. '전쟁'이라는 상황을 해결하는 것은 필연적으로 '평화' 운동과 연계된다. 이는 폭력의 반복이 결국은 인류의 멸망을 불러올 것이라는 인식에 바탕하고 있다. 이는 생명존중 사상과 연결되며, 평화와 비폭력 운동이라는 형태로 나타난다.

Background: Breast cancer is the most frequent malignancy of women worldwide. In Iraq, breast cancer ranks first among cancers diagnosed in women but no studies have been conducted on incidence trends. The present study of breast cancer in the country during 2000-2009 was therefore performed. Materials and Metbods: The registered data for breast cancer cases were collected from the Iraqi Cancer Registry/Ministry of Health. The significance of incidence rate trends during 2000-2009 was tested using Poisson regression. Age-standardized rates (ASR), and age-specific rates per 100,000 population were calculated. ResultS" A total of 23,792 incident breast cancer cases were registered among females aged ${\geq}15$ years, represented 33.8% of all cancers in females registered during 2000-2009. It ranked first in all the years. The median age at diagnosis was 49 and the mean age was 52 years. The incidence rate of all female breast cancer in Iraq (all ages) increased from 26.6 per 100,000 in 2000 to 31.5 per 100,000 in 2009 (APC=1.14%, p<.0001). The incidence in age groups (40-49), (50-59) and (70+) increased in earlier years and has recently (2005-2009) become stable. The incidence in age group (60-69) did not decline since 2003, while the incidence rates in the age group (15-39) started to decline in 2004. Conclusions' With the Iraqi Cancer Registry data during the period 2000-2009, the incidence of all female breast cancer in Iraq (all ages) has risen. We found rapid increase in the age specific incidence rate among age group 60-69. However, breast cancer among Iraqi women still affects younger age groups than their counterparts in developed countries. Further epidemiological research is needed to examine possible causes and prevention measures.

Background: Breast cancer is one of the most common cancers among females worldwide. The aim of this study was to assess the knowledge and practice about breast cancer and its related factors among women in Baghdad city, Iraq. Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted among 508 women aged 18 to 55 years from four non-governmental organizations (NGO) in Baghdad city, Iraq. A self-administered questionnaire on breast cancer knowledge and practice was distributed to participants during weekly activity of the NGO. Results: A total of 61.2% of the respondents had poor knowledge, only 30.3% performed breast self-examination (BSE) and 41.8% said that they did not know the technique to perform BSE. Associations between knowledge and marital status and age were significant. For practice, working status, education, age and family income were significant. After controlling for cofounders, the most important contributing factors for poor knowledge among respondents were marital status and not performing BSE, with adjusted odds ratio of 1.6 and 1.8 respectively. Conclusions: Breast cancer knowledge and practice of BSE are poor among women in Baghdad city, Iraq. More promotion regarding breast cancer signs and symptoms and also how to perform BSE should be conducted using media such as television and internet as these constituted the main sources of information for most women in our study.

본 논문은 핵확산 방지를 위해 경제제재가 행해진 이란과 이라크의 사례를 분석하여 대북제재의 효과에 대해 조망해 보고자 한다. 30년 이상 지속된 대이란 제재의 경우, 초기에는 이란 경제에 미치는 영향이 미미했으나 2011년 이후 미국과 유럽연합 등의 제재 강화는 원유 수출 감소, 그에 따른 정부 예산 감소를 초래해 핵동결 협상에 이르게 했다. 13년간 지속됐던 대이라크 제재는 심각한 기아 및 질병문제를 야기했기 때문에 유엔이 석유 수출 일부를 허용하고 그 비용으로 식량을 구입 할 수 있게 하나 기아 문제는 여전했다. 유엔 석유식량 프로그램은 오히려 후세인의 불법자금 조성 및 식량 통제권 강화 등으로 후세인 정권 유지에 도움을 주었다. 2016년까지 행해진 대북제재는 북한 경제에 미미한 영향을 미쳤으나 식량난은 지속되어 왔고, 어린이 영양실조 상태가 심각한 상황이다. 트럼프의 제재 강화 이후, 최근 북한이 북미 정상회담 등에 참여하기로 한 결정은 제재가 권위주의 정권 지도자의 정책 변화에 영향을 미칠 수 있음을 보여주어 경험적 선행연구와는 다른 사례로 남을 수 있는 가능성이 제기되고 있다. 미국의 선제 타격 가능성 또한 북한 체제를 더 위태롭게 하고 있으니, 북한은 조속한 비핵화 선언을 통해 제재 해제를 추구해야 할 것이다.

Acquired hemophilia A (AHA) is an uncommon autoimmune bleeding disorder in which autoantibodies that affect the functions of factor VIII (FVIII) are present in the blood. The initial diagnosis of AHA is difficult as the presentations of AHA differ from those of congenital hemophilia A. Moreover, the treatment of AHA is more complex due to the presence of autoantibodies against FVIII. Here, we present a case report of postpartum AHA, to increase the perception and knowledge regarding the recognition and management of such cases. We present a young female with the chief complaint of vaginal bleeding and upper arm ecchymosis. Laboratory results exhibited isolated prolonged activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT) and FVIII inhibitors. The patient was treated with corticosteroids, FVIII concentrates, and a bypassing agent. In conclusion, unexplained postpartum bleeding, unmanageable with basic hemostatic measures, should lead to clinical suspicion of an acquired bleeding disease.
