[Purpose] Many studies have observed a high prevalence of erectile dysfunction among individuals performing physical activity in less leisure-time. However, this relationship in patients with type 2 diabetic patients is not well studied. In exposure outcome studies with ordinal outcome variables, investigators often try to make the outcome variable dichotomous and lose information by collapsing categories. Several statistical models have been developed to make full use of all information in ordinal response data, but they have not been widely used in public health research. In this paper, we discuss the application of two statistical models to determine the association of physical inactivity with erectile dysfunction among patients with type 2 diabetes. [Methods] A total of 204 married men aged 20-60 years with a diagnosis of type 2 diabetes at the outpatient unit of the Department of Endocrinology at PSG hospitals during the months of May and June 2019 were studied. We examined the association between physical inactivity and erectile dysfunction using proportional odds ordinal logistic regression models and continuation ratio models. [Results] The proportional odds model revealed that patients with diabetes who perform leisure time physical activity for over 40 minutes per day have reduced odds of erectile dysfunction (odds ratio=0.38) across the severity categories of erectile dysfunction after adjusting for age and duration of diabetes. [Conclusion] The present study suggests that physical inactivity has a negative impact on erectile function. We observed that the simple logistic regression model had only 75% efficiency compared to the proportional odds model used here; hence, more valid estimates were obtained here.

Background: We analyzed association between viewing two-dimensional computed tomography (2D CT) images in addition to radiographs with radial head treatment recommendations after accounting for patient and surgeon factors in a survey-based experiment. Methods: One hundred and fifty-four surgeons reviewed 15 patient scenarios with terrible triad fracture dislocations of the elbow. Surgeons were randomized to view either radiographs only or radiographs and 2D CT images. The scenarios randomized patient age, hand dominance, and occupation. For each scenario, surgeons were asked if they would recommend fixation or arthroplasty of the radial head. Multi-level logistic regression analysis identified variables associated with radial head treatment recommendations. Results: Reviewing 2D CT images in addition to radiographs had no statistical association with treatment recommendations. A higher likelihood of recommending prosthetic arthroplasty was associated with older patient age, patient occupation not requiring manual labor, surgeon practice location in the United States, practicing for five years or less, and the subspecialties "trauma" and "shoulder and elbow." Conclusions: The results of this study suggest that in terrible triad injuries, the imaging appearance of radial head fractures has no measurable influence on treatment recommendations. Personal surgeon factors and patient demographic characteristics may have a larger role in surgical decision making. Level of evidence: Level III, therapeutic case-control study.

The Local Volume Mapper(LVM) project in the fifth iteration of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS-V) will produce large integral-field spectroscopic survey data to understand the physical conditions of the interstellar medium in the Milky Way, the Magellanic Clouds, and other local-volume galaxies. We are developing the LVM Instrument control software. The architecture design of the software follows a hierarchical structure in which the high-level software packages interact with the low-level and mid-level software and hardware components. We adopt the spiral software development model in which the software evolves by iteration of sequential processes, i.e., software requirement analysis, design, code generation, and testing. This spiral model ensures that even after being commissioned, the software can be revised according to new operational requirements. We designed the software by using the Unified Modeling Language, which can visualize functional interactions in structure diagrams. We plan to use the SDSS software framework CLU for the interaction between components, based on the RabbitMQ that implemented the Advanced Message Queuing Protocol (AMQP).

The Local Volume Mapper (LVM), for the Sloan Digital Sky Survey V, consists of four 16 cm telescopes with three fiber spectrographs in the Las Campanas Observatory in Chile. With the fixed telescopes on optical tables, the Alt-Alt mounted siderostats point and guide targets during spectrograph exposures. We are developing the integrated LVM instrument control software. Considering international travel restrictions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic in 2021, we decided to make a simplified version of siderostat to test the LVM telescope control system in Korea. The prototype siderostat consists of two aluminum flat mirrors, optomechanical housing structures made by aluminum profiles, and the Planewave L-350 mount. We designed the optical mirrors and the optomechanical structure of the siderostat. From structural analysis at various pointing cases, we estimated the tilt misalignments of mirrors within 4 arcsec, which would affect the telescope pointing errors.

<디 워>는 실패한 블록버스터인가? 내용과 형식에 있어서 이 영화의 가치에 대해 재고의 여지는 남아 있지 않은가? 이 연구는 이러한 의문에 대한 답을 제공하는 것을 목적으로 한다. 2007년 심형래 감독의 <디 워>는 영화 자체에 대한 평가보다는 영화를 둘러싼 민족주의 담론으로 평단과 관객의 이목을 집중시켰으나, 이야기와 형식 모두에서 분명 기존의 한국형 블록버스터와 차이를 보이면서 850만이라는 투입 대비 다소 실망스러운 박스오피스 성공과 민족주의에 경도된 일부 관객들의 열광적인 지지, 그리고 영화의 예술성과 완성도에 대한 평단의 비판적 시각이라고 하는 부조화스러우면서도 이해하기 어려운 결과를 낳았다. 결국 <디 워>는 문화적으로 논쟁거리를 제공했을 뿐 산업계와 비평계에서는 별다른 주목을 받지 못한 영화로 남겨졌다. 그러나 한 가지 흥미로운 점은 <디 워>를 지지하는 관객들과 비판적인 시각을 견지한 평론가들 사이에 한 가지 공통된 시각이 있다는 점이다. 그것은 <디 워>의 스펙터클이 한국 관객의 기대 이상으로, 그리고 스토리 전개와 불균형을 이룰 정도로 불거졌다는 것을 양자 모두 인정하고 있다는 것이다. 내러티브를 압도하는 <디 워>의 스펙터클은 일면 팬들을 열광시키는 동시에 평론가들로 하여금 이 영화를 외면하게 만드는 원인을 제공하기도 한 것이다. 이러한 맥락에서, 이 연구는 <디 워>의 예술적/이론적/비평적 가치에 논쟁을 불러일으킨 이러한 측면, 즉 '내러티브를 압도하는 스펙터클' 내지는 '스펙터클을 보여주기 위한 구실로서 존재하는 내러티브'라는 영화의 미학적 특성을 살펴보고 이를 통해 작품성의 측면에서 실패작으로 치부되어 온 <디 워>에 일말의 비평적 가치를 제고하는 데에 그 목적이 있다. 또한 <디 워>는 "기존의 영화비평 방식을 통해 접근해갈 수 없는 새로운 범주에 속하는 영상물"임을 제시하고 결과적으로 새로운 개념적 틀을 통해 비평적 평가를 받을 수 있는 기회를 제공하는 데에 이 연구의 의의가 있다 하겠다. <디 워>의 서사미학을 밝히기 위해 스펙터클 중심적인 서사성(narrativity)의 미학, 내지는 내러티브보다 스펙터클을 더 중시하는 제작 양식을 일컫는 앙드레 고드로(Andre Gaudreault)의 '기교성(trickality)'이라는 개념과 이러한 미학이 지배하는 영화를 가리키는 톰 거닝(Tom Gunning)의 '매혹의 영화(the cinema of attractions)'라는 개념을 살펴볼 것이다.

The rapid growth of the Internet has increased the amount of transmission of personally identifiable information. At the same time, with new Internet related technologies, organizations are trying to collect and access more personal information than before, which in turn makes individuals concern more about their information privacy. For their successful businesses, organizations have tried to alleviate these concerns in two ways: (1) by offering privacy policies that promise certain level of privacy protection; (2) by offering benefits such as financial gains or convenience. In this paper, we interpret these actions in the context of the information processing theory of motivation. This paper follows Hann et al.(2007)'s methods to analyze Internet users privacy concerns in Korea and tries to compare the findings. Our research objectives are as follows: First, we analyze privacy concern mitigation strategies in the framework of the expectancy theory of motivation. Subsequently, we show how the expectancy theory based framework is linked o the conjoint analysis. We empirically validate the predictions that the means to mitigate privacy concerns are associated with positive valences resulting in an increase in motivational score. In order to accommodate real-life contexts, we investigate these means in trade-off situation, where an organization may only be able to offer partially complete privacy protection and/or promotions and/or convenience, While privacy protection (secondary use, improper access) are associated with positive valences, we also find that financial gains can significantly increase the individuals' motivational score of a website in Korea. One important implication of this empirical analysis is that organizations may possess means to actively manage the privacy concerns of Internet users. Our findings show that privacy policies are valued by users in Korea just as in the US or Singapore. Hence, organizations can capitalize on this, by stating their privacy policy more prominently. Also organizations would better think of strategies or means that may increase online users' willingness to provide personal information. Since financial incentives also significantly increase the individuals' motivational score of website participation, we can quantify the value of website privacy protection in terms of monetary gains. We find that Korean Internet users value the total privacy protection (protection against errors, improper access, and secondary use of personal information) as worthy as KW 25,550, which is about US 28. Having done this conjoint analysis, we next adopt cluster analysis methodology. We identify two distinct segments of Korea's internet users-privacy guardians and information sellers, and convenience seekers. The immediate implication of our study is that firms with online presence must differentiate their services to serve these distinct segments to best meet the needs of segments with differing trade-offs between money and privacy concerns. Information sellers are distinguished from privacy guardians by prior experience of information provision, To the extent that businesses cannot observe an individual's prior experience, they must use indirect methods to induce segmentation by self-selection as suggested in classic economics literature of price discrimination, Businesses could use monetary rewards to attract information sellers to provide personal information. One step forward from the societal trends that emphasize the need of legal protection of information privacy, our study wants to encourage organizations and related authorities to have the viewpoints to consider both importance of privacy protection and the necessity of information trade for the growth of e-commerce.

한국의 ICT산업은 TDX, CDMA에서부터 인터넷 발전 및 최근의 소셜미디어 붐에 이르기까지 엄청난 발전을 이루어왔다. 그렇지만, 최근에는 이러한 ICT산업이 생산성 증대효과를 일으키는 것과는 반대로 고용에는 오히려 도움이 되지 않는다는 우려가 존재하고 있으며, 반면에 ICT산업의 노동대체효과에도 불구하고 산업 자체의 규모가 확산되기 때문에 고용의 증대를 가져온다는 상반된 주장도 있다. 따라서, 과연 ICT산업에 대한 투자와 산업의 발전이 고용에 부정적인 영향을 미치는지에 대해 현재의 시점에서 실증적으로 살펴볼 필요가 있다. 본 연구는 1995년부터 2011년까지의 국내 ICT산업 설비 총 투자량과 ICT산업 총 생산량을 ICT산업 발전의 대리변수로 두고, 고용변수를 全산업의 총 고용, 이중 제조업, 서비스업, 그리고 ICT산업의 총 고용으로 세분화하여 살펴보았다. 이를 통하여, ICT산업의 고용에 대한 효과를 벡터자기회귀모형을 사용하여 Granger 인과관계 분석 및 동태적 충격반응함수 분석을 시도하였다. 분석결과, 국내 ICT산업의 발전은 서비스업 부분에서 고용감소 효과를 보였으나, 제조업 부분의 고용은 소폭 상승한 것으로 나타났다. 반면에, ICT산업 자체 내의 고용은 통계적으로 유의한 관계가 없는 것으로 나타났다. 종합적으로 ICT산업의 발전은 전체 산업측면에서는 부정적인 측면이 있지만, 적어도 제조업의 고용에는 긍정적인 영향을 미칠 수 있음을 확인할 수 있었다. 기존에 존재하고 있는 ICT산업이 발전함에 따라 고용시장은 축소된다는 주장과 달리, 본 연구결과에서는 ICT산업의 발전이 고용에 반드시 부정적 영향을 미치는 것이 아니라는 것을 알 수 있었다.

This study deals with the interchange with art that is contained in the works of Yves Saint Laurent, and it is disclosed through his works that modern fashion is part of expressive art while pursuing creative function as a work of art. The study has been performed on the basis of the references, the pictures of his works and interviews posted in domestic and overseas fashion magazines such as Vogue, Fashion News, Mode & Mode, Gap, Collections, etc. Regarding the scope of this study, it specifically deals with works he created from 1958 until 2002, when he announced his last collection. The results of the study show that with respect to Post-Impressionism, his works were greatly affected by van Gogh(who had used colors as active media in depicting his internal mental state) which gave birth to gorgeous and handicraft-like 'Couture-style clothes'. With respects to Fauvism, the works of Matisse also had an impact on Yves Saint Laurent, who added a sense of fauvism in his works through the use of colors, motif, or full reproduction of images from paintings. We see the influence of cubism upon Laurent when we examine his works of 'clothes with artistic value,' which utilized applique, beaded decoration, patchwork, embroidered patterns, relief-like ornaments, etc. using motif or objet much as we see in the works of Picasso and Braque, artists who expressed a new dimension of the formative arts. Laurent's use of neoplasticism, or plainness of painting, demonstrates a new formative art on the three-dimensional human body by using the works of Mondrian, which consist of black lines and primary colors, although generally Laurent's 'neoplastic'works differed from the works of Mondrian by more actively utilizing the lines and colors when designing dress and its ornament. In addition, the paintings and poems of surrealism artists and poets were directly used in the clothes or their images were sometimes borrowed. In order to express respect toward the spirit of surrealism and its artists, the human body motifs such as lips and eyes(which were frequently used by the surrealism artists) were applied to embroidery, printing and beaded decoration. Finally, being inspired by such Pop artists as Andy Warhol, Roy Lichtenstein and Tom Wesselman, Laurent further emphasized the aesthetic value of the popular consumer image in his own work, resulting in the wide recognition of the designs of Yves Saint Laurent as representing the new wave of the Pop Art school.

Background No consensus exists on the optimal treatment protocol for orofacial clefts or the optimal timing of cleft palate closure. This study investigated factors influencing speech outcomes after two-stage palate repair in adults with a non-syndromal complete unilateral cleft lip and palate (UCLP). Methods This was a retrospective analysis of adult patients with a UCLP who underwent two-stage palate closure and were treated at our tertiary cleft centre. Patients ${\geq}17$ years of age were invited for a final speech assessment. Their medical history was obtained from their medical files, and speech outcomes were assessed by a speech pathologist during the follow-up consultation. Results Forty-eight patients were included in the analysis, with a mean age of 21 years (standard deviation, 3.4 years). Their mean age at the time of hard and soft palate closure was 3 years and 8.0 months, respectively. In 40% of the patients, a pharyngoplasty was performed. On a 5-point intelligibility scale, 84.4% received a score of 1 or 2; meaning that their speech was intelligible. We observed a significant correlation between intelligibility scores and the incidence of articulation errors (P<0.001). In total, 36% showed mild to moderate hypernasality during the speech assessment, and 11%-17% of the patients exhibited increased nasalance scores, assessed through nasometry. Conclusions The present study describes long-term speech outcomes after two-stage palatoplasty with hard palate closure at a mean age of 3 years old. We observed moderate long-term intelligibility scores, a relatively high incidence of persistent hypernasality, and a high pharyngoplasty incidence.
