Breast cancer (BC) is the most common malignancy of women worldwide. In the past it was considered as disease of older middle aged women, but the incidence of BC in young females is growing in recent years concordant with studies in Pakistan. In this paper, we reviewed the mutant functions of tumor suppressor genes (BRCA1, BRCA2, p53, ATM and PTEN), epigenetic transformation and involvement of estrogen receptors in development of breast cancer. We further reviewed the current situation of BC in Pakistan that depicts a higher incidence in young females. According to SKMCH and RC data, age group 45-49 years is more prone to BC with high rate of incidence 45.42%. A few studies explored the high expression of ER, PR and HER-2/neu in Pakistani females. Moreover, presence of BRCA1 (c.1961dupA) mutation in Pakistani shows concordance with data in different areas of world. But we are unable to find an authentic study that can explore epigenetic based transformation of breast tumors in Pakistan. This area of research needs more attention to explore the complete picture of BC in Pakistan.

The purposes of this study were to design small group collaborative learning models for developing the creativity and to analyze the effects on applying the models in mathematics teaching and loaming. The meaning of open education in mathematics learning, the relation of creativity and inquiry learning, the relation of small group collaborative learning and creativity, and the relation of assessment and creativity were reviewed. And to investigate the relation small group collaborative learning and creativity, we developed three types of small group collaborative learning model- inquiry model, situation model, tradition model, and then conducted in elementary school and middle school. As a conclusion, this study suggested; (1) Small group collaborative learning can be conducted when the teacher understands the small group collaborative learning practice in the mathematics classroom and have desirable belief about mathematics instruction. (2) Students' mathematical anxiety can be reduced and students' involvement in mathematics learning can be facilitated, when mathematical tasks are provided through inquiry model and situation model. (3) Students' mathematical creativity can be enhanced when the teacher make classroom culture that students' thinking is valued and teacher's authority is reduced. (4) To develop students' mathematical creativity, the interaction between students in small group should be encouraged, and assessment of creativity development should be conduced systematically and continuously.

요즘은 브랜드전쟁의 시대라고 한다. 정보와 기술발달에 의한 21세기 시장환경 하에서 기업간 경쟁요소와 소비자의 선택기준이 변화함에 따라 브랜드자산은 기업의 가치를 결정하는 중요한 요소로 등장하게 되었다. 소비자의 머릿속에 브랜드의 변별력을 제고하는 방법으로써 TV광고를 통한 브랜드광고에서의 캐릭터 사용은 일반적이고 유용한 방법으로 오래전부터 활용되어 왔다. 마케팅차원에서 브랜드의 인지도를 높이는 수단으로서 캐릭터의 역할과 가능성을 좀더 상세히 알아보고 미국 광고대행사인 FCB사의 그리드 모델을 통해 TV광고에서의 카테고리별 캐릭터 사용패턴과 관여도와의 상관관계를 분석해 보았다. 또한 캐릭터 사용소재별 분석, 그리고 표현양식에 따른 분석을 통해 최근의 카테고리별 캐릭터 사용태도와 기법 등을 조사하였다.

This article reviews the experience of applying the Identification, Diagnosis, Prospective, and Action (IDPA) facilitating method as a means of promoting practices of dialogue between stakeholders in the radiological protection field. After presenting the characteristics of the IDPA method and its ability to promote active listening, participation, and dialogue among stakeholders facing complex situations, as well as the procedural aspects associated with its practical implementation, the article describes three examples of the application of the method in the field of radiological protection. The first one presents how the IDPA method supported a debate among decision-makers, authorities, experts, professionals, and representatives of non-governmental organizations about how to engage stakeholders in radiological protection. The second example presents how the IDPA method was used in a series of dialogue meetings to explore the challenges of the post-nuclear accident situation resulting from the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant accident. The third one presents the application of the method in the context of a training course organized by Nagasaki University in the affected area close to the damaged plant. Experience has shown that the IDPA method makes it possible to develop responses to problems posed in very different contexts and, in many cases, to find compromises regarding their solutions. The IDPA method has the merit of allowing each of the participants to better understand the situation they are faced with, even if such a positive result is not always achieved.

현재의 유비쿼터스 컴퓨팅 기술은 공간에서 사용자가 요구하는 직접적인 서비스만을 제공하는 정도의 기술 구현에 그치고 있으며, 앞으로는 좀 더 능동적인 서비스를 제공할 수 있는 지능적인 시스템이 필요해지고 있다. 사용자의 개입 없이 사용자가 처한 상황에 대한 정보를 통해 제공할 서비스를 결정할 수 있는 시스템을 구성하기 위해 본 논문에서는 지능형 홈과 같은 유비쿼터스 컴퓨팅 공간에서의 사용자가 처한 상황에 대한 환경정보를 Context로 정의하고 4W1H의 형태로 정형화하여 수집한다. 추가적으로 사용자의 감정 상태에 대한 정보를 수집하고 이러한 정보들을 확률 추론을 위한 베이지안 네트워크의 노드로 사용하여 사용자가 구체적으로 어떠한 상황에 처해 있는가에 대한 상황인식을 구현하다. 또한 그 상황 인식결과를 통해 사용자에게 제공될 서비스를 다시 한 번 베이지안 네트워크를 통해 추론하는 모델을 제시하고자 한다.

본 연구의 주요주제는 온라인으로 제시되는 정보의 품질이다. 특히 제품의 태나 맞음새 등의 제품 품질이 불완전하게 평가될 수밖에 없는 의류제품의 온라인 쇼핑의 경우 제시되는 제품의 정보가 구매결정에 매우 중요한 단서가 된다. 온라인 제품정보에 대한선행연구가 주로 정보의 수량에 치우친 반면 본 연구에서는 중요성의 가중치로 제품정보의 품질을 알아보았다. 또한 이러한 과정에서 의류제품의 범주나 소비자들의 관여 정도가 미치는 영향을 알아보았다. 실증적 연구를 위하여 13가지의 정보가 선정되었고 복종의 영향을 알아보기 위해 청바지와 티셔츠를 판매하는 상황을 가정 한 웹페이지가 설계되었다. 125명의 미국대학생들이 실험연구에 참여하였다. 연구결과 복종에 관계없이 중요한 기준들은 가중치 순서대로 사이즈, 가격, 스타일, 색상, 치수, 재고유무, 제품품질로 나타났다. 섬유조성, 직조방법, 개인화 등의 정보는 복종에 따라 중요도의 가중치가 다른 정보였다. 소비자의 의복관여는 복종에 따라 제품정보의 가중치에 다른 영향을 주었는데 티셔츠의 경우 고관여소비자는 재고유무정보에 보디-민감하며 재고유무와 사이즈 정보에는 덜 민감하였다. 청바지의 경우 고관여소비자는 섬유조성과 색상정보에 민감한 반면 직조방법이나 가격에는 상대적으로 덜 민감한 것으로 나타났다.

Illness intrusiveness(illness induced lifestyle disruption) was investigated in 902 patients with arthritis and compared between rheumatoid arthritis(N=439) and osteoarthritis(N=463) patients. Arthritis patients were reported to perceive illness intrusiveness similar to patients with ESRD(end stage renal disease), bipolar disorder and peritoneal dialysis. Especially they were intrusive into health, work, and active recreation domains. And patients with rheumatoid arthritis were significantly more intrusive into activities, especially in diet, financial situation, family relations, other social relations, self-expression/self improvement, religious expression, and community and civic involvement. Differences in treatment regimens and age were hypothesized to account for these differences in illness intrusiveness.

Recently, layer industry shows the decrease in the number of farm and increase in rearing scale in both Korea and Japan. Seventy percent of layer farms in Japan feed more than 50,000 birds per each farm but in Korea, only 19.3% of layer farms are feeding more than 30,000 birds which covers 59% of total chicken number. This tendeney will be more accellerated from now on. Brand egg Production in Japan is developed with the involvement of farmers, sailers feed companies and also the marketing structure of brand egg is well organised in between farmers and consumers. However in Korea, the marketing structure of brand egg is not well settled for this reason the egg price is often decided lower much price than regrnlar price by the intermediate dealers. Under this kind of tough situation, Korean layer farmers are stressed to develop new brand products such as functional egg, settle the sales and distribution network with the good cooperation of farmers, and distributers.

Insurance companies are in a fierce race to catch a new customer. In this situation. sales force automation technologies are often used to support customer relationship management strategies. This study sets out a research model predicting SFA(Sales Force Automation) usage through theoretical studies. Survey data were collected from 145 salespeople across 2 firms that had implemented sales force automation tools and hypotheses were tested empirically. Data were analyzed by path-analysis method of AMOS. The major findings of this study are as follows: Computer self-efficacy, user involvement and voluntariness have a statistically significant influence on the positive perceptions of SFA. These perceptions have a statistically significant influence on user satisfaction and usage of SFA. while user satisfaction has a statistically significant influence on SFA usage. This paper concludes with the discussion of these results and their implications for academic researchers and insurance company managers.
