농산물 선별 시스템은 작물의 형태를 보전하기 위하여 비파괴적인 선별이 주로 사용된다. 이러한 비파괴 선별 기술로는 가시광선, 근적외선, 엑스선, 감마선 등의 광학적 특성을 이용하고 있으며 본 논문에서는 엑스선을 이용한 선별을 이용한다. 엑스선 영상은 엑스선의 밀도에 따라 그레이 영상으로 생성되어 육안으로 시료의 결함을 감지하기가 어렵다. 미세한 결함을 발견하기 위해서는 영상을 확대하거나 픽셀의 범위를 수정하여 적정한 픽셀의 영역만을 표시하여 결함을 탐지해야 한다. 이런 작업은 비효율적이다. 따라서 본 논문은 엑스선의 광역적인 밀도와 지역적인 밀도에 대한 상대적인 밀도를 측정하여 색상화된 결함을 표시하는 새로운 방법을 제안한다. 하나의 픽셀에 대한 상대적인 밀도는 주위 픽셀과의 상대적인 차이를 나타내며, 이런 픽셀을 정상과 결함으로 나타내는 엑스선 영상의 색상화 방법도 제안한다. 실험에서는 육안으로 볼 수 없는 농작물의 병해충 또는 새싹 부분을 특정 색으로 색상화 하여 농산물 선별 시스템에 활용할 수 있게 하였다. 제안된 방법은 엑스선을 이용한 선별 시스템에 적용되어 농산물 선별 시스템뿐만 아니라 가공식품, 부품 제조와 같은 제조 공정에서 사용되어 불량품을 선별하는 방법에 적극적으로 이용될 수 있을 것이다.

Background: A population-based cervical cancer screening program using visual inspection with acetic acid was launched in Maldives in 2014. Our study aimed to assess the knowledge, attitude and practices of women in relation to risk factors of cervical cancer, early detection of the disease and its prevention. Materials and Methods: The questionnaire based survey was conducted among 20 to 50 year old women, systematically sampled to represent three regions of Maldives. Trained investigators interviewed a total of 2,845 women at home. Results: The prevalence of the risk factors of cervical cancer like early age at marriage and childbirth, multiple marriages, multiple marriages of the husbands, and multiple pregnancies was high. More women knew about breast cancer than cervical cancer. Even among the small number of women who knew of cervical cancer, only 34.6% had the knowledge of at least one early symptom. Very few women knew that the cancer could be prevented by any test. Only 6.2% of the women reported having ever undergone a Pap smear. Many women had the misconception that cervical cancer was infectious. In Maldives the younger women have high literacy rate due to the policy of universal free education and those with higher levels of education had improved knowledge of cervical cancer and its risk factors. The prevalence of risk factors also reduced with improved literacy. Conclusions: Awareness about risk factors and prevention of cervical cancer is limited among Maldivian women in spite of having high exposure to some of the risk factors. A universal literacy program in the country has helped to improve the knowledge of cervical cancer prevention and to reduce the exposure to various risk factors in the younger population.

Background: Leukoplakia is an asymptomatic and potentially malignant change in the oral mucosa and high frequencies have been reported among smokers. The present study concerned the prevalence of tobacco use and leukoplakia and also associations between the two. Study design: This cross sectional survey was conducted amongst the Gond tribal population of Kundam Block, Jabalpur district, Madhya Pradesh state, Central India during 2007 to 2009. Screening for leukoplakia was conducted by a medical officer with two mouth mirrors. It is only based on visual inspection and oral pathology was not performed. A semi-structured questionnaire was used to collect information on socio-demographic and smoking habits. Prevalence of leukoplakia among users and non-users of tobacco was calculated in terms of percentages. Results: Of 1,552 individuals aged more than 12 years of age who were screened, 144 (9.3%) were found to have oral leukoplakia. The prevalence of leukoplakia was significantly elevated among tobacco users as compared to non-users (11% vs 2.5%; p<0.001). The percentage of leukoplakia was almost similar in both tobacco smokers and chewers (9% vs 11%; p=0.304). However, the percentage of leukoplakia was especially high among those chewers who also smoked tobacco (21.9%). Conclusions: The findings of the present study showed a positive effect of tobacco use and prevalence of leukoplakia. Also the prevalence was very high among Gond tribe, a marginalized population living in central India. There is a need for effective screening and treatment of leukoplakia in this area.

Purpose: To identify relationship between the life styles and optimistic bias about colorectal cancer (CRC) of adults. Methods: The participants were 338 adults who live in Seoul. The measurements were consisted optimistic bias about CRC and life styles. The life styles were included smoking, alcohol consumption, dietary habits, and CRC screening. Results: 30.5% of the participants regarded their possibility of CRC to be less than others, while 69.5% viewed their likelihood of CRC as at least the same as others. The optimistic bias about CRC was associated with alcohol consumption and dietary habits, but not with smoking and CRC screening. Conclusion: It is difficult to relate optimistic bias about CRC with life style since CRC inspection and alcohol consumption are negatively related with optimistic bias while displaying a positive relation in other aspects. Since the relationship between optimistic bias and life style can change, promotion of a healthy life style as part of a health program could be influential in lessening CRC.

Development of vision system as a nondestructive evaluation system can be very useful in screening the defective mechanical parts before they are assembled into the final product. Since the tens of thousands of the mechanical parts are used in an automobile carefully inspecting the quality of the mechanical parts is very important to maximize the performance of the automobile. To sort out the defective mechanical parts before they are assembled, auto parts fabrication companies employ various inspection systems. Nondestructive evaluation systems are getting rapidly popular among various inspection systems. In this study, we have developed a vision system to inspect the inside of the brake caliper, a part that is used to compose a brake which is the most important to the safety of the drivers and the passengers. In a brake caliper, a piston is pushed against the brake disk by oil pressure, causing a friction to damp the rotation of the wheel. Inside the caliper, a groove is positioned to adopt an oil seal to prevent the oil leaks. Inspecting the groove with our vision system, we could examine the existence of the contaminants which are normally the residual tiny pieces from the machining process. We used a high resolution GigE camera, 360 degree lens to look in the inside view of the caliper at once, and a special illumination system in this vision system. We used the edge detection technique to successfully detect the contaminants which were in the form of small metal chips. Labview graphical program was used to process the digital data from the camera and to display the vision and the statistics of the contaminants. We were very successful in detecting the contaminants from the various size calipers. We think we are ready to employ this vision system to the caliper production factories.

The National Forest Seed and Variety Center aims to write a manual for cultivation and characteristic inspection of new seed varieties in Korea, serving dual purposes. The first is the enhancement of the test guidelines, particularly the distinctness, uniformity and stability (DUS) test, for new seed variety, where research and examination are conducted based on the test guidelines. However, if the crop-specific test guidelines are initially reorganized, the details are unclear. Therefore, it seeks to maintain a written record to prevent confusion when the person in charge is changed. The second is to encourage the development of new varieties. By incorporating general characteristics and cultivation techniques in the manual, it seeks to encourage breeders to develop new varieties. Additionally, it serves as an important chronological record of the creation process, thereby helping future manual authors. This article introduces the current status of new plant variety protection and outlines the significance of creating a manual for cultivation and characterization of Actinidia arguta for screening new varieties.

남자 초 중 고등학생의 척추측만증 유병률을 알아 보고자 1988년 5월 부산 시내 남자 2개 국민학교 4학년 463명, 1개 중학교 1학년 543명, 1개 고등학교 1학년 387명 총 1,393명을 대상으로 국민학생에게는 시진으로, 중 고등학생에게는 시진과 폐결핵 집단검진을 위해 실시한 흉부X-선 간접촬영을 이용하여 조사하였다. 이상소견으로 나타난 학생의 체중, 신장, 평소 가방을 메고 다니는 방향을 조사하였다. 만곡의 크기는 Cobb's 방법을 이용하였다. 사진과 흉부X-선 간접촬영 어느 한쪽이라도 척추에 이상소견으로 판정된 학생은 국민학생 15명(3.2%), 중학생 174명(32.0%), 그리고 고등학생 92명(23.8%)이었다. 그러나 시진과 흉부X-선 간접촬영 모두 이상소견으로 일치되는 경우는 중학생 2.2%, 고등학생 2.6%이었으며 Cobb's 각이 $5^{\circ}$ 이상인 척추측만증은 중학생 1.1%, 고등학생 2.3%였다. 두가지 조사방법에 모두 이상소견을 보인 학생들의 가방메는 방향과 척추만곡의 방향은 통계적으로 유의한 상관관계를 보였다(p<0.05). 두가지 조사방법중 어느 한가지에 이상소견을 보인 281명의 평균체중과 신장은 같은 나이의 우리나라 표준체중과 신장에 비해 국민학생의 경우 체중은 거의 같았으나 신장은 표준신장보다 약간 작았다. 중학생은 표준치보다 체중은 1.4kg, 신장은 4.3cm 작았고 고등학생의 평균 체중과 신장은 모두 표준치보다 약간 더 높았다. 본 조사성적으로 미루어 보아 고등학교 상급학년에는 척추측만증 유병률이 더 높을 것이며 여학생들에게는 남자보다 더 흔하므로 척추측만증은 간과할 수 없는 학교보건문제로 생각된다. 또한 척추측만증 예방을 위해 가방의 무게를 줄이고, 학교에서 바른 자세를 갖도록 교육하고, 주기적으로 체조를 시키도록 하는 것이 좋을 것으로 생각된다.

Purpose: From the early 1990's, use of Tandem mass spectrometry in neonatal screening test, made early stage detection of disorders that was not detectable by the previous methods of inspection. This research aims to evaluate the frequency of positive results in national neonatal screening test by Tandem mass spectrometry and its usefulness. Methods: A designated organization for inherited metabolic disorder executed neonatal screening test on newborns using Tandem mass spectrometry from January 2006 to December 2015, followed by the investigation of these data by the Planned Population Federation of Korea (PPFK), and this research analyzed those inspected data from the PPFK. Results: Among total childbirth of 4,590,606, from January 2006 to December 2015, 3,445,238 were selected for MS/MS and conduction rate was 75.1%. 261 out of the selected 3,445,238 were confirmed patients and for last decade, detection rate of total metabolic disorder was 1/13,205. In 261 confirmed patients, 120 had an amino acid metabolic disorder and its detection rate was 1/28,710 and 110 had an organic acid metabolic disorder and detection rate was 1/31,320. Also, 31 had a fatty acid metabolic disorder and detection rate was 1/13,205. Conclusion: Inherited metabolic disorder is very rare. Until now, it was difficult to precisely grasp an understanding on the national incidence of inherited metabolic disorder, due to lack of overall data and inconsistent and incomplete long-term result analysis. However, this research attempted to comprehensively approach the domestic incidence, by analyzing previous 10 years of data.
