  • This paper shows a comparative study for design of reinforced concrete boundary combined footings of trapezoidal and rectangular forms supporting two columns and each column transmits an axial load and a moment around of the axis X (transverse axis of the footing) and other moment around of the axis Y (longitudinal axis of the footing) to foundation to obtain the most economical combined footing. The real soil pressure acting on the contact surface of the footings is assumed as a linear variation. Methodology used to obtain the dimensions of the footings for the two models consider that the axis X of the footing is located in the same position of the resultant, i.e., the dimensions is obtained from the position of the resultant. The main part of this research is to present the differences between the two models. Results show that the trapezoidal combined footing is more economical compared to the rectangular combined footing. Therefore, the new model for the design of trapezoidal combined footings should be used, and complies with real conditions.

  • Much of the behavior of doctors reflects the influences from the social, cultural, historical, and economic environment of the time. Therefore, it is very important for future doctors to understand the practice environment in an ever changing world. Traditionally, doctors' competence has been based on the doctor-patient relationship. However, the social practice of medicine in the contemporary era asks future doctors to have social competencies, which often are defined as non-clinical competencies. As a global project, the World Federation for Medical Education has urged every country to define the future role of doctors to encompass global roles based on the duty toward and value of clinical as well as non-clinical competencies. In the past four years, Korean medical professional societies have coordinated to set forth the global role of Korean doctors. Five domains of clinical competence, professionalism, social accountability, communication and collaboration, and education and research have been chosen. The current version of the "global role of Korean doctors" can be used not only for the common objectives of medical education, but also for translating into the competencies of doctors that can be achieved through life-long learning. If we all want to improve medical education in order to produce more qualified and competent doctors as the public desires, then it may be the most urgent task to produce doctors who are equipped with social competencies to persuade, negotiate, and engage in constructive dialogues with society for better health care for a better society.

  • Purpose : N.A.P.(Neuromuscular Skeletal Plasticity) an integrative neuro-orthopedic concept to facilitate motor strategies in daily life. The primary thesis is, that treatment of body functions and structural impairments should be integrated within goal-oriented activities. The purpose of this article is to demonstrate that the functional activity itself, determines the structure. Material and Methods : A case report of a dentist with brachial plexus lesion after a motor vehicle accident is presented. The necessity for training body functions within relevant tasks is undermined by references which emphasize the importance of training realistic activities to enhance long-term changes in neural representation. Results : The treatment methods presented in this case show significant effects for the patient's ability to participate in his profession within less than a year's time after his motor vehicle accident. Conclusions : Current evidence supports the treatment methods of this concept. The inability to flex his elbow and supinate his forearm placed a considerable doubt to his ability to ever be able to participate in his profession again. Structural reorganization is possible and depends on functional demands, which need to be trained task-specifically. Single case reports may serve as the basis for further randomized controlled studies to support the efficacy of the treatment methods within the N.A.P. concept.

  • In wireless sensor networks, sensor nodes are often deployed in large numbers in places that are difficult for humans to access. However, the energy of the sensor node is limited. Therefore, one of the most important considerations when designing routing protocols in wireless sensor networks is minimizing the energy consumption of each sensor node. When the energy of a wireless sensor node is exhausted, the node can no longer be used. Various protocols are being designed to minimize energy consumption and maintain long-term network life. Therefore, we proposed KOCED, an optimal cluster K-means algorithm that considers the distances between cluster centers, nodes, and residual energies. I would like to perform a performance evaluation on the KOCED protocol. This is a study for energy efficiency and validation. The purpose of this study is to present performance evaluation factors by comparing the K-means algorithm and the K-medoids algorithm, one of the recently introduced machine learning techniques, with the KOCED protocol.

  • 이 논문은 대구 경북지역에 거주하는 북한이탈 초등학생의 문화변용과 학교생활 만족도를 분석하였다. 분석결과, 대구 경북지역에 거주하는 북한이탈 초등학생의 속성은 전국 혹은 수도권과는 차이가 있었으며, 이러한 차이는 문화변용에 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 문화변용에 있어서는 통합형보다는 동화형의 비중이 약간 크지만 한국 문화를 수용하는데 소극적인 분리형과 주변화형의 비율이 42%를 차지하여 국내생활에 많은 어려움을 겪고 있다고 볼 수 있다. 그리고 일반적으로 나이가 들고 학교생활에 익숙할수록 남한문화를 적극적으로 수용하려는 경향이 강하지만 북한에서 태어난 학생의 경우는 남한문화를 거부하려는 경향이 상대적으로 강한 것으로 나타났다. 학교생활만족도는 대체로 만족하는 편이며, 영역별로는 교사와의 관계와 학교환경의 만족도는 높은 반면에 학습활동에 대한 만족도는 가장 낮았다. 또한 학교생활만족도와 문화변용 유형간의 관계에 있어서는 새로운 문화를 적극적으로 수용하려는 유형의 경우가 상대적으로 만족도가 높았다. 결론적으로 탈북한 국내이주 청소년에 대한 기존의 획일적이고 단기적인 교육위주의 지원정책에서 탈피하여, 문화변용차원의 계층별 속성별 수요를 반영한 체계적이고 장기적인 지원정책으로 패러다임을 전환할 필요가 있다.

  • Background: Effective policy implementation is essential for a healthy workplace. The Ryan-Kossek 2008 model for work-life policy adoption suggests that supervisors as gatekeepers between employer and employee need to know how to support and communicate benefit regulations. This article describes a workplace intervention on a national employee benefit, Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA), and evaluates the effectiveness of the intervention on supervisor knowledge, awareness, and experience with FMLA. Methods: The intervention consisted of computer-based training (CBT) and a survey measuring awareness and experience with FMLA. The training was administered to 793 county government supervisors in the state of Oregon, USA. Results: More than 35% of supervisors reported no previous training on FMLA and the training pre-test revealed a lack of knowledge regarding benefit coverage and employer responsibilities. The CBT achieved: (1) a significant learning effect and large effect size of d = 2.0, (2) a positive reaction to the training and its design, and (3) evidence of increased knowledge and awareness regarding FMLA. Conclusion: CBT is an effective strategy to increase supervisors' knowledge and awareness to support policy implementation. The lack of supervisor training and knowledge of an important but complex employee benefit exposes a serious impediment to effective policy implementation and may lead to negative outcomes for the organization and the employee, supporting the Ryan-Kossek model. The results further demonstrate that long-time employees need supplementary training on complex workplace policies such as FMLA.

  • 현대인들은 과거에 비해 풍부한 먹거리와 다양한 삶의 형태를 가지게 되었으나 바쁜 생활 속에 아침을 거르게 되고, 제 시간에 식사를 하지 못하는 등의 올바르지 못한 식습관을 형성하게 되었다. 이러한 식습관은 장기간 유지되면서 소화기관 장애로 이어지게 된다. 그에 가장 쉽게 발생하는 증상이 역류성 식도염과 삼킴 장애라고 불리는 연하 곤란이 있으며, 그 중 연하 곤란은 다양한 합병증의 형태로 발전하거나 위암, 후두암등의 전조증상으로 확인되기도 하여 빠르고 정확한 진단이 요구된다. 이에 따른 진단 결과는 현재도 의사가 수동적으로 판단하며 그 결과가 제각각이다. 여기서 말하는 진단 결과는 중증 정도를 말하는 것이며, 그에 따른 치료법이나 합병증을 파악할 때의 잘못된 진단으로 과한 치료나 부족한 대처로 이어지게 될 수도 있다. 본 논문에서는 연하 곤란의 심각 정도를 파악하기 위해 연하 곤란 진단 과정에서 식도로 이어지는 구간에 후두개곡과 이상와 부에 남는 잔여 음식물을 확인하기 위한 X-ray 이미지 처리에 K-means 알고리즘을 사용하는 프로그램을 개발하는 것을 연구하였다.

  • Gastric cancer remains a significant global health concern, coercing the need for advancements in imaging techniques for ensuring accurate diagnosis and effective treatment planning. Artificial intelligence (AI) has emerged as a potent tool for gastric-cancer imaging, particularly for diagnostic imaging and body morphometry. This review article offers a comprehensive overview of the recent developments and applications of AI in gastric cancer imaging. We investigated the role of AI imaging in gastric cancer diagnosis and staging, showcasing its potential to enhance the accuracy and efficiency of these crucial aspects of patient management. Additionally, we explored the application of AI body morphometry specifically for assessing the clinical impact of gastrectomy. This aspect of AI utilization holds significant promise for understanding postoperative changes and optimizing patient outcomes. Furthermore, we examine the current state of AI techniques for the prognosis of patients with gastric cancer. These prognostic models leverage AI algorithms to predict long-term survival outcomes and assist clinicians in making informed treatment decisions. However, the implementation of AI techniques for gastric cancer imaging has several limitations. As AI continues to evolve, we hope to witness the translation of cutting-edge technologies into routine clinical practice, ultimately improving patient care and outcomes in the fight against gastric cancer.

  • This study was made on the concerns and implementation of the ICT(Inormation and Communication Technology)-utilized lesson by home economics teacher. The objective of this study is to investigate the stages of concern and the level of use of the ICT-utilized lesson by home economics teachers in Kyunggi Province through the concerns based adoption model(CBAM) and to provide assistance for ICT-utilizing lesson to be efficiently adopted to home economics. This study made selected 200 schools by random sampling among 233 middle schools which have two or more home economic teachers and 21 or more classes in Kyunggi Province which has a total of 395 middle schools and mail-surveyed on 400 home economics teachers by means of questionnaire. The stages of concern. the levels of use and the types of implementation were used as instruments in this survey. The results of this study on the stages of concern. the levels of use and the type of implementation of the ICT-utilized lesson by home economics teachers in Kyunggi Province were as following: First. the highest point of the concern of home economics teachers of ICT-utilized lesson was the stage of awareness. the second highest point was the stage of management. the 3rd stage. and the stage of information. the lst stage. Second. the highest level of implementation of ICT-utilized lesson by home economics teachers was the level of mechanical use. the 3rd stage(30.4%), which followed by the level of orientation. the 1st stage(22.5%). and the level of nonuse(16.7%). the level of rountine use. the 4th stage(13.7%) the level of integration. the 5th stage(11.8%). the level of preparation 2(3.9%). and the level of renewal. the 6th stage(1.0%) Third, information search was the most in the type of ICT-use and in the course of lesson CD-ROM was used the most.. During ICT-utilized lesson. most of teachers used computer one to two hours a week mainly in the lessons of clothing life and eating life. Home economics teachers took the most training of how to use word-processor(68.6%) during computer education. and 60 teachers(66.0%) gave positive response about the effect of computer education on teacher's learning. Finally. the biggest problem with ICT-use in the teacher's learning was the long preparation time for lesson. and problem with ICT-utilized lesson was the burden of time and effort spent to buy needed materials and to recompose the existing materials for the lesson. Therefore. so as to adopt ICT-utilized lesson efficiently into school it is needed that active promotion for the lesson should be made to teachers. training teachers to raise their ability to use computer and various kinds of software should be expanded. and school authorities' financial and administrative assistance should be given for the smooth proceeding of the lesson.
