We aims to perform comparative analysis on the dose area and image qualities varying on the slice thickness when using Automatic Exposure Controller (AEC) and manual exposure; thus, it wants to suggest a measure to reduce exposure dose by setting the optimal examination condition for each slice thickness. The method was to set the thickness as Thin, Normal, and Heavy adult and evaluate the dose area, spatial resolution, low contrast resolution, Signal to Noise Ratio (SNR) and Contrast to Noise Ratio (CNR) according to each slice thickness by using the AEC and the manual exposure controller. The dose area according to each slice thickness all increased both when using the AEC and the manual exposure. However, the manual exposure showed lower dose area product than the AEC. Spatial resolutions and low contrast resolutions were all observed to be higher than the evaluation standard. Also, the SNR and CNR of each thickness all increased when using the AEC. When using the manual exposure, SNR and CNR increased in all cases other than the Heavy Adult. Consequently, the Thin and Normal Adult showed dose reduction about 2 times when using the manual exposure controller, while ensuring the image quality. Heavy adult was able to maintain good image quality by using AEC.

The purpose of this study was to develop a standardized manual to help an educational agency manage the school milk program in cities and provinces. Towards this purpose, we carried out an observational study, content analysis, and survey as the first step. After developing the standardized manual and modifying its contents based on a panel discussion, we implement the delphi-technique as the second step. The standardized manual was composed of an introduction, the administrative direction of educational agency, the management of the school milk program, the management of the free milk program, teaching guidance, selection and contract of supplier, and an appendix. The manual was distributed to over 16 educational agencies for managing the school milk program and was promoted to public officials, such as the officers of educational agencies, the school district officials, and the officers of ministry of agriculture and forestry. The developed manual was targeted for used in schools throughout the nation, but was accepted with reservation in different regions. Therefore, school milk program would be expected to be an efficient management and operation through the use of a standardized manual.

The investigation of marine accidents in Korea can not handle the international codes and guidelines and is being followed the conventional methods with a big gab to the international criterion and procedure. Also there is no proper investigation manual which is cope with the new era and surrounding circumstances. This study analyzed the investigation manual of other countries, and proposed new investigation manual according to the analysis and international standards and procedure as followings; (1) Develop own investigation manual separating from the field manual which is mixed with judge, (2) Correct and improve the error and hazy words in the existing field manual which is not compatible a current situation, (3) The contents of new manual should be changed to cope with the international rules, criterion and procedures. The list of contents and index is added, an abundant explanation and examples are given, and charts and illustrations are inserted to make the users understand easily. Also the inquiry techniques according to the classification of each accidents are included.

Objectives This systematic review aimed to provide evidence of the effectiveness and safety of manual therapy for asthma in children and adolescents. Methods We queried eight electronic databases (PubMed, Ovid-MEDLINE, EMBASE, The Cochrane Library, CNKI, ScienceON, KISS, and RISS) up to the end of April 2022. We included only randomized controlled trials (RCTs) investigating manual therapy for the treatment of asthma in children and adolescents. The methodological quality of the included RCTs was evaluated using the Cochrane risk-of-bias tool 1.0. Results Four RCTs were eligible for inclusion. Meta-analysis could not be performed due to the heterogeneity of the studies. One study showed the statistical significance of SMD 0.41 (95% CI: 0.06, 0.76, p<0.05) in the comparison with the osteopathic therapy group and the sham control group before and after treatment on the same day of peak expiratory flow. Conclusions This possibility was observed in a non-pharmacological approach to manual therapy. Manual therapy can be considered as an adjunct therapy for asthma treatment in children and adolescents who have difficulty with drug therapy.

Objectives : The objectives of this report is to introduce PTA. Methods : The examination of the leg length inequality gives us a useful tool for diagnosis of body imbalance. especially pelvic distortion. There are four steps in the process of the leg analysis, according to "The Standard Manual of Chuna Society (2nd ed., Seoul:KCA Press. 2001)". In the last step of the analysis, knee-flexing over $90^{\circ}$, we have often experienced a specific sign that the lower legs are attracted toward one side spontaneously. The authors call it 'Lower Leg Lateral Attraction'. This is a very significant sign that gives us which is the major part between pelvis and the upper parts over sacrum. Thus it is definded as "Pelvic Twist Analysis, PTA" by the authors. With PTA, first, you must check the side of short leg and next, check the side of lateral attraction in lower leg over-flexing. If both sides coincide with each other, then the major part you can correct first is pelvic distortion. If not, you must find another part for primary correction, instead of pelvis. Conclusions : PTA becomes a useful complement to the examination of the leg length inequality.

The purpose of this study is to develop an operation manual of resident-driven community program by evaluating community program operation to realize a sustainable apartment complex and vitalize a community. To achieve this purpose, 8 community experts, who are in charge of 42 complexes of 7 autonomous districts among 25 districts in Seoul were interviewed from September 2013 to December 2013. Main results of the study are as follows. 1) Operational problems and improvements are deduced from evaluating operation process of community programs. It is found that smooth cooperation of main operators including a community vitalization association, a resident representative meeting and a control office is the most important. 2) Operation guideline for representative programs are suggested based on analysis of operational characteristics of 3 types of community programs; communication, recycling and environment management, according to program operation elements; material element, programming element, human element and finance element. 3) An operation manual of resident-oriented community program is presented after considering evaluation of operation processes and analysis of 3 types of operational elements of community programs.

Gliomas are the most common malignant brain tumor and cause the most deaths. Manual brain tumor segmentation is expensive, time-consuming, error-prone, and dependent on the radiologist's expertise and experience. Manual brain tumor segmentation outcomes by different radiologists for the same patient may differ. Thus, more robust, and dependable methods are needed. Medical imaging researchers produced numerous semi-automatic and fully automatic brain tumor segmentation algorithms using ML pipelines and accurate (handcrafted feature-based, etc.) or data-driven strategies. Current methods use CNN or handmade features such symmetry analysis, alignment-based features analysis, or textural qualities. CNN approaches provide unsupervised features, while manual features model domain knowledge. Cascaded algorithms may outperform feature-based or data-driven like CNN methods. A revolutionary cascaded strategy is presented that intelligently supplies CNN with past information from handmade feature-based ML algorithms. Each patient receives manual ground truth and four MRI modalities (T1, T1c, T2, and FLAIR). Handcrafted characteristics and deep learning are used to segment brain tumors in a Global Convolutional Neural Network (GCNN). The proposed GCNN architecture with two parallel CNNs, CSPathways CNN (CSPCNN) and MRI Pathways CNN (MRIPCNN), segmented BraTS brain tumors with high accuracy. The proposed model achieved a Dice score of 87% higher than the state of the art. This research could improve brain tumor segmentation, helping clinicians diagnose and treat patients.

This study compared and analyzed manual tapping and automatic tapping regarding tapping process characteristics of titanium hard-to-cut-material. Tapping process characteristics of titanium hard-to-cut-material are evaluated as the quality of a screw, wear of a tap, economic analysis, and cycle time etc. The type of screw threads after manual tapping is formed as an irregular type of screw threads, and perfect screw threads are created after automatic tapping. In addition, the chip type after manual tapping process is formed as the discontinuous chip due to work hardening, and the powder type of chip after automatic tapping process is created. In terms of cycle time, an automatic tapping process is shortened by 70% compared to manual tapping process. Insert tip wear of an automatic tapping shown in the process of 5-hole tapping is not found, but hand tap wear for finish cutting is most severe.

In recent years, the Korean Army made use of fork-lifters or conveyors when loading and/or unloading military material in order to prevent accidents and to promote efficiency of military material handling activities. However, in troops smaller thin battalions, manual material handling activities are still committed for many reasons. In this thesis, a brand new loading/unloading device for efficient military material handling or manual workers was developed, and its validation study was conducted through objective assessment based on electromyography, subjective assessment based on Body-Map technique developed by Corlett and Bishop, and finally work performance comparison. The results of EMG analysis showed that muscular workload improved by 24% when using the device compared to manual work without the device, and complain of each body part was remarkably reduced. In addition, remarkable effectiveness enhancement was observed in the work performance. Consequently, it could be concluded that ergonomic devices like one developed in this research should be studied further in the ergonomic sense as well as in the economical sense.
