정보화의 진전과 함께 정보운용능력을 경계로 하는 소외구조도 구체화되고 있다. 정보격차를 중심으로 생산되는 이러한 구조는 도시 저소득층, 장애인, 노년층, 그리고 이주노동자 등을 정보빈곤집단(information poor)으로 재생산하면서 그 소외와 차별의 구조에 더욱 고착되고 있다. 이 연구는 이러한 정보소외의 문제를 장애인들의 삶을 통하여 고찰해 보았다. 오랫동안 사회적 편견으로 인하여 공식적 정보서비스와의 원활한 접촉이 어려웠던 장애인들에 대한 질적 연구를 바탕으로 계층을 경계로 나타나는 정보격차의 문제를 조망하고, 공공도서관을 비롯한 공공정보서비스의 지향을 모색해 보고자 하였다. 구체적으로 다섯 명의 지체장애인들을 대상으로 그들이 일상에서 직면하는 고민과 그에 대한 대처방식을 살펴보고, 그 과정에서 발생하는 정보소외의 양상을 파악해 보았다.

Purpose: Dermatofibroma is a lesion several millimeters to several centimeters in size, arising from dermis or subcutaneous tissue, mostly at extremities of a middle aged female. It is a benign fibrous tumor that to our knowledge metastasis have not been reported and may recur only locally. Here we report a rare case of 36-year-old female with dermatofibroma arising from back and metastasized to both lungs. Methods: We performed an en-block elliptical mass excision for skin lesion and metastatectomy for multiple nodules of both lungs. Results: Histologically, the tumors of both lungs and skin lesion showed dilated cystic airspaces which were lined by respiratory epithelium with underlying layers of tumor cells. The tumor cells were composed of plump to spindled fibrohistiocytic cells arranged in storiform growth pattern. There were no cellular pleomorphism, atypical mitosis, and necrosis. These are the specific features of a dermatofibroma and we could examined the histologic findings of skin and lungs identical. Thus, this indicates that dermatofibroma of back was metastasized to both lungs. Conclusion: We report this case to notice that dermatofibroma is a benign tumor but it rarely metastasizes.

The incidence of cervical cancer has been gradually decreased since 1990, now it ranks the fourth most common carcinoma among Korean women in 2001. If squamous cell carcinomas in situ are included, the cervical cancer is still the most frequent tumor in Korean women. However, cervical cancer mortality in Korea has been decreased over the last 10 years in large part attributable to the introduction of the Papanicolaou test (Pap. test). The guidelines for the early detection of cervical cancer recommend women aged 30 and more to lake biennial screening with Pap. lest. According to the screening data of National Health Insurance Corporation (NHIC), 4,425 women (0.94%) showed an abnormal Pap among 473,395 cases tested in 2001; dysplasia was in 3,953 (0.84%) women, in situ carcinoma in 357 (0.075%) women, and invasive carcinoma in 115 (0.024%) women. The detection rates of abnormal Pap. were 4.21% in Korean Society for Cytopathology(KSC-2001), 1.37% (ASCUS : 0.26%, AGUS : 0.03%, LSIL : 0.45%, HSIL : 0.55%, Carcinoma 0.09%) in health check-up and 5.41% (ASCUS : 1.89%, AGUS . : 0.69%, LSIL : 1.39%, HSIL : 0.84%, Carcinoma : 0.64%) of patients in out-patient clinic without having history of cervical neoplasia at Hanyang University Hospital in 2002 Low rate of cervical cancer screening (34%) in Korea is mainly due to the lack of information for the Row income people regarding national cancer screening program. More adenuate budget by government and more man-power for precise screening, new guideline and system for management of the cervical cancer patients are required.

The Philippine government enacted the National Water Crisis Act in 1995, as a response to the burgeoning situation of water supply systems in the country. This act led to the privatization of Metropolitan Waterworks and Sewerage System (MWSS), sector having jurisdiction and control over all waterworks and sewerage systems in a service area including Metro Manila. Nowadays, the region's supply of water is still facing a lot of difficulties, both in quality and quantity. The unabated migration of people to the metro which increases its population, tapping from the aged pipelines, lack of water facilities and infrastructure, excessive groundwater withdrawal, environmental degradation, and surface and groundwater pollution are some of the issues that Metro Manila have to deal with. These situations lead to two primary water supply issues suffered by Metro Manila: water shortage and flooding. The purpose of this paper was to present water supply in Metro Manila with respect to the problems in its distribution, environmental implications and quality. In this paper, several technical reports, published literature, and news articles were consulted and became the major basis for identifying gaps and suggesting remedial measures.

In this study 240 geriatric patients, aged 60 year and over were evaluated using a questionnaire and oral examination for their oral status, demand and satisfaction of prosthesis treatment. 1. The single main complaint was regarding from the existing removable prosthesis. When the complaints were catagorized into larger groups, complaints regarding existing prosthesis were 32% and followed by 30% in caries and endodontic problems. 2. DMFT index woman appeared the man the age when will increase more highly recording where highly and considered statistically. 3. According to the result from questionnaire, 48% of patients wearing removable prosthesis and 43% with fixed prosthesis were not satisfied with existing prosthesis. Thirty-seven percentages of patients were not satisfied with aesthetics and unable to chew food properly. 4. Thirty-nine percentage of patients were wearing removable prosthesis. More complete dentures were found on maxilla and partial dentures on mandible. 5. Seventy-seven percentage of patients requested for new prosthesis and the majority of these patients had complaints of difficulties in chewing and discomfort.

The present study discusses the results of the controlled precipitation of HgTe nanocrystals in a PbTe semiconductor matrix and demonstrates its effectiveness in producing well-organized and crystallographically aligned semiconductor nanocrystals. Following the similar procedure used in metallic alloys, the semiconductor alloys are treated at 600$^{\circ}C$ for 48 hours, quenched and aged up to 500 hours at 300$^{\circ}C$ and 450$^{\circ}C$ to induce homogeneous nucleation and growth of HgTe nanocrystalline precipitates. Examination of the resulting precipitates using transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and high resolution TEM (HRTEM) reveals that the coherent HgTe precipitates form as thin discs along the {100} habit planes making a crystallographic relation of {100}$\sub$HgTe///{100}$\sub$PbTe/ and [100]$\sub$HgTe///[100]$\sub$PbTe/. It is also found that the nato-disc undergoes a gradual thickening and a faceting under isothermal aging up to 500 hours without any noticeable coarsening. These results, combined with the extreme dimension of the precipitates (4 nm in length and sub-nanometer in thickness) and the simplicity of the formation process, leads to the conclusion that controlled precipitation is an effective method for the preparation of the desirable quantum-dot nanostructures.

The widespread use of VDU has improved the efficiency of information transmission between man and machine, but has caused new occupational health and ergonomics problems. In this study, we tried to construct a fuzzy hyman performance model of VDU workers in Korea. Fuzzy inferences of human perfor- mance are obtained from the fuzzy inference rule with the job difficulty, CFF, SACL, Type A. and the degree of concentration in VDU work. Eight healthy female undergraduate students at Kyungnam university for subjects aged 20 to 23 years were examined in this experiment. They calculated continuous addition, subtraction, and multiplication of 1 or 2 digit numbers that were produced randomly on the CRT. Subjects peoformed two types of a numeric operation, which easy and difficult work produced 400 and 600 problems within a 40 minute work session, respectively. Subjects were tested over two workdays according to the type of work(easy and difficult) consisting of four 40 minutes work sessions in the morning. Each work lasted for five minutes with a ten minutes rest break. 117 fuzzy inference rules were obtained from the experimental data. The value of consequent part was obtained by a descent method. The difference between real human error and estimated value of fuzzy inference was $1.8075{\pm}1.8591%(M{\pm}SD)$. The difference in easy and diffcult works were $2.69{\pm}2.13%$ and $0.92{\pm}0.93%$, respectively.
