  • Objective: The aim of this systematic review was to investigate for effective strategies to improve home exercise program (HEP) adherence in vestibular rehabilitation (VR). Design: Systematic review. Methods: A systematic review was conducted to identify effective strategies used to improve HEP adherence of patients in VR. Six databases, Academic Search Premier, Cochrane Library, CINAHL, PUBMED, PsycINFO, and Web of Science were searched from their inception to December 31, 2015. The keywords used for search were 'home program', 'home intervention', 'compliance', 'adherence', 'vestibular rehabilitation', 'motion sickness', and 'motion sensitivity'. Results: A total of eight studies were selected to be included in the review. There was 95.2% agreement between the two reviewers who reviewed the studies using a quality assessment tool. The overall inter-rater agreement (${\kappa}$=0.73) showed good agreement between the reviewers. Strong evidence was identified for 3 major categories of effective HEP adherence strategies, 1) providing patient with written summary of HEP; 2) asking patient to maintain a record of HEP and symptoms; and 3) providing tele-rehabilitation in form of email and/or telephone support along with in person treatment sessions. Also, based on strong evidence, computerized technology was not found to be superior to other strategies for improving patients' HEP adherence in VR. Conclusions: The effective strategies for improving HEP in VR include written summary of exercise, maintenance of log of HEP and symptoms and tele-rehabilitation along with in person treatment sessions.

  • This paper proposes an implementation of SPARQL-DL, which is a query language for OWL ontologies, for query-answering over the OWL ontologies virtually generated from existing RDBs. The proposed SPARQL-DL processor internally translates input SPARQL-DL queries into SQL queries and then executes the translated queries. There are two advantages in the query processing method. First, another repository to store OWL ontologies generated from RDBs is not required. Second, a large ABox generated from an RDB instance is able to be served without using Tableau algorithm based reasoners which have a problem in large ABox reasoning. Our algorithm for query rewriting is designed to create one corresponding SQL query from one input SPARQL-DL query to minimize the overhead by establishing connections with RDBs.

  • Electronic document processing using EDl (Electronic Data Interchange) must exchange documents using VAN (Value Added Network). However. the use of exclusive software needs alteration of a new document and the use of VAN(Value Added Network) demands an exchange of document and high cost for maintenance. Due to these problems, the existing EDI (Electronic Data Interchange) is turning into Web-based EDI (Electronic Data Interchange). This paper suggests techniques that change EDI (Electronic Data Interchange) messages which exist in two relational databases into XML (extensible Markeup Language) using the JDBC bridge. Also this paper proposes a method that recovers schema using converted XML (extensible Markeup Language) file, and a method which inserts an original record into a declared table. This solves the limitation of an original method that have to use sane database management system and also overcomes the problem in certain circumstances where the EDI (Electronic Data Interchange) exchange does not work.

  • RASSF1A, regarded as a candidate tumor suppressor, is frequently silenced and inactivated by methylation of its promoter region in many human tumors. However, the association between RASSF1A promoter methylation and lung cancer risk remains unclear. To provide a more reliable estimate we conducted a meta-analysis of cohort studies to evaluate the potential role of RASSF1A promoter methylation in lung carcinogenesis. Relevant studies were identified by searches of PubMed, Web of Science, ProQest and Medline databases using the following key words: 'lung cancer or lung neoplasm or lung carcinoma', 'RASSF1A methylation' or 'RASSF1A hypermethylation'. According to the selection standard, 15 articles were identified and analysised by STATA 12.0 software. Combined odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence interval (CI) were used to assess the strength of the association between RASSF1A promoter methylation and lung cancer risk. A chi-square-based Q test and sensitivity analyses were performed to test between-study heterogeneity and the contributions of single studies to the final results, respectively. Funnel plots were carried out to evaluate publication bias. Overall, a significant relationship between RASSF1A promoter methylation and lung cancer risk (OR, 16.12; 95%CI, 11.40-22.81; p<0.001) with no between-study heterogeneity. In subgroup analyses, increased risk of RASSF1A methylation in cases than controls was found for the NSCLC group (OR, 13.66, 95%CI, 9.529-19.57) and in the SCLC group (OR, 314.85, 95%CI, 48.93-2026.2).

  • RDF and OWL are the primary base technologies for implementing Semantic Web. Recently, many researches related with them, or applying them into the other application domains, have been introduced. However, relatively little work has been done for securing the RDF and OWL data. In this article, we briefly introduce an RDF triple based model for specifying RDF access authorization related with RDF security. Next, to efficiently find the authorization conflict by RDF inference, we introduce a method using prime number graph labeling in detail. The problem of authorization conflict by RDF inference is that although the lower concept is permitted to be accessed, it can be inaccessible due to the disapproval for the upper concept. Because by the RDF inference, the lower concept can be interpreted into the upper concept. Some experimental results show that the proposed method using the prime number graph labeling has better performance than the existing simple method for the detection of the authorization conflict.

  • Generally, vector spatial data, with richer information than raster spatial data enabledata, enables a mere flexible and effective manipulation of the data sets. However, one of challenges against the publication of vector spatial information on the Internet is the efficient transmission of the big and complex vector spatial datadata, which is both large and complex, across the narrow-bandwidth of the Internet. This paper proposes a new transmission method, namely, the Scale-Dependent Transmission method, with the purpose of improving the efficiency of vector spatial data transmission on the narrow-bandwidthacross the Internet. Simply put, its nam idea is “Transmit what can be seen””. Scale is regarded as a factor naturally associated with spatial features so that not all features are visible to users at a certain scale. With the aid of the Wavelet-Wavelet-based Map Generalization Algorithm, the proposed method filters out invisible features from spatial objects according to the display scale and then to transmit onlytransmits only the visible features as athe final answer for an individual operation. Experiments show that the response times ofan individual operation has been reducedoperations were substantially by the usage of reduced when using the proposed method.

  • XML is broadly using for data storing and processing. XML is specified its structural characteristic and user can query with XPath when information from data document is needed. XPath query can process when the tern and structure of document and query is matched with each other. However, nowadays there are lots of data documents which are made by using different terminology and structure therefore user can not know the exact idea of target data. In fact, there are many possibilities that target data document has information which user is find or a similar ones. Accordingly user query should be processed when their term usage or structural characteristic is slightly different with data document. In order to do that we suggest a XML document ranking method based on path similarity. The method can measure a semantic similarity between user query and data document using three steps which are position, node and relaxation factors.

  • Objectives The purpose of this review is to analyze results of case studies and controlled studies about Carthmi-Flos pharmacopuncture. Based on the review, authors desire to suggest the study model including precise information and evident the effect of Carthmi-Flos pharmacopuncture objectively in treating clinical disorders. Methods We search 44 studies about Carthmi-Flos pharmacopuncture from 6 Korean web databases, using words 'Carthmi-Flos pharmacopuncture' in Korean alphabet. This study had been conducted throughout 1 month (July, 2017). We selected case studies and controlled trials in investigated 44 thesis, excluding experimental research and thesis not using the Carthmi-Flos pharmacopuncture for major treatment. Results We analyze 13 case reports and 7 controlled trials. As a result, Carthmi-Flos Pharmacopuncture was used mostly in musculoskeletal, neurological diseases. But this can be applied to internal diseases. Disorders reported effectively were carpal tunnel syndrome, degenerative knee joint arthritis, posterior neck pain, low back pain, radial nerve palsy, shoulder pain, lumbar compression fracture, alopecia areata, chronic daily headache, duverney fracture, oligomenorrhea, cervical disc herniation, rheumatoid arthritis and cervical headache. Conclusions As we analyzed, Carthmi-Flos pharmacopuncture is specifically effective in musculoskeletal and neurologic diseases. But there are various problems in study design. To design accurately, the study design should include much more specific information. And the result can be more precise by excluding other methods.

  • The epidermal growth factor (EGF) may play a pathological role in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). However, the conclusions of published reports on the relationship between the EGF $61^*A/G$ polymorphism and HCC risk remain controversial. To derive a more precise estimation we performed a meta-analysis based on 14 studies that together included 2,506 cases and 4,386 controls. PubMed, EMBASE, Web of Knowledge and the Chinese National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI) databases were used to retrieve articles up to August 1, 2014. The crude odds ratios (ORs) with 95% confidence intervals (95%CIs) were calculated to evaluate the association. Meta-analysis results showed a significant association between the EGF $61^*A/G$ polymorphism and HCC risk in all four genetic models (allele model: OR=1.25, 95%CI=1.12-1.40; dominant model: OR=1.32, 95%CI=1.14-1.54; recessive model: OR=1.33, 95%CI=1.12-1.58; ho-mozygous model: OR=1.59, 95%CI=1.33-1.90). Moreover, significant associations were observed when stratified by ethnicity, source of controls, etiology and genotype methods. Thus, this meta-analysis suggests that the G-allele of the EGF $61^*A/G$ polymorphism is associated with an increased risk of HCC, especially in Asians and Caucasians, without influence from the source of controls or etiological diversity. Further studies with larger population sizes are needed to confirm these results.

  • Many studies have been carried out for the development of big data utilization and analysis technology recently. There is a tendency that government agencies and companies to introduce a Hadoop of a processing platform for analyzing big data is increasing gradually. Increased interest with respect to the processing and analysis of these big data collection technology of data has become a major issue in parallel to it. However, study of the collection technology as compared to the study of data analysis techniques, it is insignificant situation. Therefore, in this paper, to build on the Hadoop cluster is a big data analysis platform, through the Apache sqoop, stylized from relational databases, to collect the data. In addition, to provide a sensor through the Apache flume, a system to collect on the basis of the data file of the Web application, the non-structured data such as log files to stream. The collection of data through these convergence would be able to utilize as a basic material of big data analysis.
