The objectives of the International Organization for Medical Physics (IOMP) are to organize international cooperation in medical physics, to contribute to the advancement of medical physics in all its aspects, especially in developing countries; and to encourage and advise on the formation of national organizations of medical physics in those countries that lack such organizations. The objectives of the Asian-Oceania Federation of Medical Physics (AFOMP) are to advance medical physics in our geographic region, especially in those countries that do not yet have national organizations of medical physics. We must focus on the development of AFOMP in science, professional relations, education and training in our geographic areas and to seek funding and support from the IOMP for these activities. Since its formation in 2000, the Asian-Oceania Federation of Medical Physics (AFOMP) has been participating actively in IOMP. Our goal now should be to gain more influence by placing members on various committees of IOMP as well as preparing members for leadership roles at the upper levels. AFOMP is already on the world map of medical physics with the upcoming two world congresses - Sydney and Seoul.

Although the incidence of breast cancer in Asia remains lower than in North America, Western Europe, and Oceania, rates have been increasing rapidly during the past few decades, and Asian countries now account for 40% of breast cancer cases diagnosed worldwide. Breast cancer mortality has also increased among Asian women, in contrast to decreased mortality in Northern America, Western Europe, and Oceania. These increased rates are associated with higher prevalence of breast cancer risk factors (e.g., reduced parity, delayed childbirth, increased obesity) that have accompanied economic development throughout the region. However, Asian regions (western, south-central, south-eastern, and eastern) and countries differ in the types and magnitude of changes in breast cancer risk factors, and cannot be viewed as a single homogeneous group. The objective of this paper was to contrast the heterogeneous epidemiology of breast cancer by Asian regions and countries, and to suggest potential avenues for future research.

In this study, 29 simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers were used to analyze the genetic diversity and population structure of 125 rice accessions from 40 different origins in Africa, Asia, Europe, South America, and Oceania. A total of 333 alleles were detected, with an average of 11.5 per locus. The mean values of major allele frequency, expected heterozygosity, and polymorphism information content (PIC) for each SSR locus were 0.39, 0.73, and 0.70, respectively. The highest mean PIC was 0.71 for Asia, followed by 0.66 for Africa, 0.59 for South America, 0.53 for Europe, and 0.47 for Oceania. Model-based structure analysis revealed the presence of five subpopulations, which was basically consistent with clustering based on genetic distance. Some accessions were clearly assigned to a single population in which >70% of their inferred ancestry was derived from one of the model-based populations. In addition, 12 accessions (9.6%) were categorized as having admixed ancestry. The results could be used to understanding the genetic structure of rice cultivars from these regions and to support effective breeding programs to broaden the genetic basis of rice varieties.

본 연구는 생태관광, 글로벌 교육의 개념을 토대로 다소 연구 성과가 미흡한 오세아니아지역에 대하여 생태관광자원의 지리적 특징을 파악하고 호주 Cairns 지역을 사례로 현지답사를 한 후, 생태자원의 교육적 활용에 대해 고찰하였다. 답사지역은 Great Barrier Reef의 Green 섬, Queensland주 열대우림의 Barron Gorge 국립공원 삼림탐방프로그램, Eairns 근교 호주나비보호구역, Tjabutkai 원주민 문화공원을 선정하여 현지답사를 수행하였다. 사례연구를 통해 의미있는 글로벌 교육적 활용방안을 살펴보면 Green섬에서는 특수 제작된 수중관측소와 바닥이 유리로 된 배 등을 도입하여 해양생태를 효과적으로 보존하면서 탐사하도록 했고, 잘 디자인된 탐방로와 탐방시간 안내판 그리고 친절하게 생태교육을 담당하는 공원관리원이 주재하는 삼림탐방프로그램이 마련되었으며, 옛 산업열차를 보완하여 관광용열차로 재활용한 것은 환경보호를 위한 좋은 본보기였다. 나비보호구역에서는 여러 언어를 지원하는 안내체계를 갖추고 전문가와 함께하는 해설프로그램을 마련하였으며, 전 세계의 방문객들에게 원주민의 생활을 체험할 수 있도록 프로그램을 고안하여 자신의 문화를 널리 알리고, 방문객에게도 교육적인 효과를 충족시킬 수 있도록 하였다.

Purpose: To investigate the caustic ingestion in children among different continents according to demographic characteristics (core purpose), main symptoms, common caustic agents, signs and symptoms, management, treatment and complications. Methods: This systematic review was performed by searching the databases Science Direct, ProQuest, Google Scholar, and PubMed, electronically and manually. We included studies that were published from 1980 to 2013, at University of Medical Sciences of Tabriz, Iran. A strategic search was performed with keywords including caustic, corrosive, ingestion and children, and was limited to articles in English and Persian. Statistical analysis was performed by SPSS ver. 18. Results: Of 63 selected articles of caustic ingestion with 9,888 samples, the proportion of Africa was 3 articles (4.8%) and 95 samples (1%), America 9 articles (14.3%) and 305 sample (3%), Asia 29 articles (46%) and 2,780 samples (28.1%), Europe 17 articles (27%) and 3,002 samples (30.4%), and Oceania 5 articles (7.9%) and 3,706 samples (37.5%). The average age was in the Africa $3.07{\pm}2.02years$, America $3.17{\pm}1.83years$, Asia $3.34{\pm}1.58years$, Europe $3.58{\pm}2.09years$ and Oceania $3.52{\pm}2.02years$. Sex distribution was in Africa 76 males (0.91%) and 19 females (0.23%), America 49 males (0.58%) and 41 females (0.49%), Asia 1,575 males (18.76%) and 1,087 females (12.95%), Europe 1,018 males (12.13%) and 823 females (9.8%), and Oceania 1,918 males (22.85%) and 1,788 females (21.3%). Statistical analysis of the data indicated higher consumption in Europe and Oceania in the boys with higher average age of years. Conclusion: The comparison of caustic ingestion indicated that the cause substances of caustic ingestion in children are different among continents, therefore prevention strategy and different treatment guidelines among continents will be needed.

본 연구에서는 MODerate resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) 지면피복 분류자료(MCD12Q1)에서 분류오류로 판단되는 화소들을 재분류함으로써 분류 정확도를 개선하였다. 최근 12년(2001-2012)간의 MODIS 지면피복 분류자료에서 지면피복 유형이 3개 이상으로 분류된 화소는 분류상에 오류가 있다고 판단하여 지면피복 재분류 화소로 선정하였다. 지면피복 재분류를 위해 공간해상도는 1 km이고 시간주기는 8일인 MODIS Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) 자료를 이용하였다. NDVI 자료 중 구름 등으로 오염된 화소를 보정하기 위해 시 공간 연속성을 이용한 보정기법인 Correction based on Spatial and Temporal Continuity (CSaTC) 기법을 이용하였다. 보정된 NDVI 자료를 1개월 주기로 합성한 후 분류 오류로 판단된 화소들에 대해 Iterative Self-Organizing Data Analysis (ISODATA) 기법으로 군집화를 수행하였다. 각 군집별 식생 계절변동 특성을 고려하여 지면피복을 분류한 후 정상으로 판정된 MODIS 지면피복과 합성하여 최종 지면피복 재분류 자료를 산출하였다. 분류 정확도는 GPS를 이용한 현장관측 자료와 유럽우주국의 지상검증참조자료 등 총 138개 지상 관측자료를 이용하여 검증을 수행하였다. 2012년 MODIS 지면피복 분류자료의 정확도는 약 68%이었으나 본 연구에서 재분류한 지면피복자료의 정확도는 약 74%로 나타나 일부 화소들에서 분류 정확도가 개선되었다.
