Background: This study aims to figure out the gaps in health status by estimating amenable mortality rate by region, reflecting the characteristics of Korea, and estimating the years of life lost (YLL) per capita by disease. Methods: People who died from amenable diseases between 2008 and 2018 were extracted from the cause of death statistics provided by Statistics Korea. The age-standardized amenable mortality rates were estimated to compare the health status of 229 regions. YLL per capita was calculated to compute the burden of diseases caused by treatable deaths by region. The YLL per capita by region was calculated to identify the burden of disease caused by amenable deaths. Results: First, while the annual amenable mortality rate in Korea is on a steady decline, but there is still a considerable gap between urban and rural areas when comparing the mortality rates of 229 areas. Second, YLL per capita due to the amenable deaths is approximately 14 person-years during the analysis period (2008-2018). Conclusion: Although the health status of Koreans has continuously improved, there is still a gap in health status region by region in terms of amenable mortality rates. Amenable death accounts for a loss of life equivalent to 14 person-years per year. Since the amenable mortality rate is an indicator that can measure the performance of the health care system, efforts at each local area are required to lower it.

Background: This study purposed to analyze the relationship between extinction risk regions and amenable mortality. Methods: This was a cross-sectional study based on the statistics of 2018 which was extracted from the 228 administrative districts in Korea. Cause of death statistics on each region in 2018 was used to produce the age-adjusted amenable mortality. Regional characteristics were measured by demographic factors, health behavior factors, socioeconomic factors, and medical resources factors. Multiple linear regression model was applied to test their relationship. Results: Results showed that extinction risk regions, crude divorce rates, national cancer screening rates, and independent rate of finance were significantly related to the amenable mortality. Conclusion: The study demonstrated differences in health status by the extinction risks of regions. This study suggests that the use of customized community care program can provide integrated services such as housing, health care or the use of information and communications technology which can make early diagnosis.

This study aims to validate a fast method of simultaneous analysis of 365 LCamenable and 142 GC-amenable pesticides in hen eggs by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) and gas chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (GC-MS/MS), respectively, operating in multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) acquisition modes. The sample preparation was based on quick, easy, cheap, effective, rugged, and safe (QuEChERS) extraction. Key method performance parameters investigated were specificity, linearity, limit of quantification (LOQ), accuracy, precision and measurement uncertainty. The method was validated at two spiking levels (10 and 50 ㎍/kg), and good recoveries (70%-120%) and relative standard deviations (RSDs) (≤20) were achieved for 92.9% of LC-amenable and 86.6% of GC-amenable pesticide residues. The LOQs were ≤10 ㎍/kg for 94.2% of LC-amenable and 92.3% of GC-amenable pesticides. The validated method was further applied to 100 egg samples from caged hens, and none of the pesticides was quantified.

The article studies the concept of a (𝜑, 𝜓)-biflat and (𝜑, 𝜓)-amenable Banach algebra A, where 𝜑 is a continuous homomorphism on A and 𝜓 ∈ Φ_A. We show if A has a (𝜑, 𝜓)-virtual diagonal, then A is (𝜑, 𝜓)- biflat. In the case where 𝜑(A) is commutative we prove that (𝜑, 𝜓)- biflatness of A implies that A has a (𝜑, 𝜓)-virtual diagonal.

Let $\mathbb{G}$ be a von Neumann algebraic locally compact quantum group, in the sense of Kustermans and Vaes. In this paper, as a consequence of a notion of amenability for actions of Lau algebras, we show that $\hat{\mathbb{G}}$, the dual of $\mathbb{G}$, is co-amenable if and only if there is a state $m{\in}L^{\infty}(\hat{\mathbb{G}})^*$ which is invariant under a left module action of $L^1(\mathbb{G})$ on $L^{\infty}(\hat{\mathbb{G}})^*$. This is the quantum group version of a result by Stokke [17]. We also characterize amenable action of Lau algebras by several properties such as fixed point property. This yields in particular, a fixed point characterization of amenable groups and H-amenable representation of groups.

Let A be a Banach algebra, we say that A has the strongly double limit property (SDLP) if for each bounded net $(a_\alpha)$ in A and each bounded net $(a^{\ast}\;_\beta)\;in\;A^{\ast},\;lim_\alpha\;lim_\beta=lim_\beta\;lim_\alpha$ whenever both iterated limits exist. In this paper among other results we show that if A has the SDLP and $A^{\ast\ast}$ is (n - 2)-weakly amenable, then A is n-weakly amenable. In particular, it is shown that if $A^{\ast\ast}$ is weakly amenable and A has the SDLP, then A is weakly amenable.

We discuss some additivity properties of the simplicial volume for manifolds with boundary: we give proofs of additivity for glueing amenable boundary components and of superadditivity for glueing amenable submanifolds of the boundary, and we discuss doubling of 3-manifolds.

In this paper, the commutative module amenable Banach algebras are characterized. The hereditary and permanence properties of module amenability and the relations between module amenability of a Banach algebra and its ideals are explored. Analogous to the classical case of amenability, it is shown that the projective tensor product and direct sum of module amenable Banach algebras are again module amenable. By an application of Ryll-Nardzewski fixed point theorem, it is shown that for an inverse semigroup S, every module derivation of 𝑙¹(S) into a reflexive module is inner.

In this paper we introduce and study the concept of of (${\varphi}$, ${\psi}$)-am-enability of a locally compact group G, where ${\varphi}$ is a continuous homomorphism on G and ${\psi}:G{\rightarrow}{\mathbb{C}}$ multiplicative linear function. We prove that if the group algebra $L^1$ (G) is (${\tilde{\varphi}}$, ${\tilde{\psi}}$)-amenable then G is (${\varphi}$, ${\psi}$)-amenable, where ${\tilde{\varphi}}$ is the extension of ${\varphi}$ to M(G). In the case where ${\varphi}$ is an isomorphism on G it is shown that the converse is also valid.
