The purpose of this study was to investigate the association between wrong postures and pain during scaling and encourage dental hygienists and students to exercise scaling in a good position. After obtaining informed consent, 107 students (3rd and 4th grade students) who had an experience with scaling practice were enrolled. The questionnaire included three general items, four items related to the posture during scaling, and nine items related to pain management (total 16 items), for which the five-point Likert scale was used. Through the questionnaire, we examined the preference of posture during scaling, posture education during scaling, pain in each part during scaling, pain management, and pain management method. In the scaling exercise, 86.3% of the subjects were instructed on the correct posture, and 87.9% of the subjects perceived the possibility of inducing musculoskeletal disorders based on the scaling posture. The percentage of subjects who responded that they performed scaling in the correct posture was 33.6% and that of subjects who answered that they bowed or turned their head by more than 15° was 64.4%. Further, 45.7% of the subjects answered that they bent their shoulders, and 29.9% of the subjects answered that their postures were not parallel to the floor. Pain during scaling was still higher when they bent their head, they bent their waist, and they bent their wrist (p<0.05). During scaling, pain was most frequent in the fingers and hands (15%), followed by the neck (14%), shoulders (11.2%), waist (9.3%), and feet and legs (2.8%). The percentage of subjects who performed regular exercise (or stretching) to prevent pain was 29.9% and that of subjects who managed pain after scaling was 12.1%. Further, exercise (24.6%) and self-massage (20.3%) were highly used as the pain management methods, and the school practice was preferred to education media for pain management (79.4%). In the scaling practice, there was a training on pain management, but the frequency of practicing in the wrong posture was high. Moreover, pain increased upon practicing in an incorrect posture. Therefore, more in-depth and systematic education on the necessity and method of musculoskeletal disease management during scaling is required.

The current residential process adheres to a traditional method of construction involving wood framing on-site on poured concrete foundations which has been widely applied in North America. A conventional residential construction process can include seventeen distinct stages ranging from stake-out to pre-occupancy inspection. The current practice possesses short comings including high construction material wastes, long scheduling timelines, adverse weather conditions, poor quality, low efficiencies and negative environmental impacts from transportation and equipment use. Over CAN $5 billion dollars was spent in the construction sector during 2007 in Canada. Previous findings in CO₂ emissions during the construction process of a conventional dwelling emphasize more than 45 tonnes of CO₂ emissions. Hence, in Alberta alone during 2007, almost 50,000 residential units would release more than two million tonnes of CO₂. These numbers demonstrate the economical and environmental impact in building construction and its relationship with CO₂ emissions. The aim of this paper is to quantify the CO₂ emissions from the current residential construction process in order to establish the baseline for CO₂ emission reduction opportunities. The quantification collection methodology will be approached by identifying the seventeen various stages of construction and quantifying the contributions of CO₂ from specific activities and their impacts of work for each stage. The approach of separating these into separate stages for collection will allow for independent opportunities for analysis from various independent contractors from the entire scope of work. The use of BIM will be implemented to efficiently quantify CO₂ emissions. Based on the CO₂ quantification baseline, emission reduction opportunities such as an industrialized construction process will be introduced that allows homebuilders to reduce the environmental and economical impact of home construction while enabling them to produce higher quality, more energy efficient homes in a safer and shorter period of time.

The facade, an exterior material of a building, is one of the crucial factors that determine its morphological identity and its functional levels, such as energy performance, earthquake and fire resistance. However, regardless of the type of exterior materials, huge property and human casualties are continuing due to frequent exterior materials dropout accidents. The quality of the building envelope depends on the detailed design and is closely related to the back frames that support the exterior material. Detailed design means the creation of a shop drawing, which is the stage of developing the basic design to a level where construction is possible by specifying the exact necessary details. However, due to chronic problems in the construction industry, such as reducing working hours and the lack of design personnel, detailed design is not being appropriately implemented. Considering these characteristics, it is necessary to develop the detailed design process of exterior materials and works based on the domain-expert knowledge of the construction industry using artificial intelligence (AI). Therefore, this study aims to establish a detailed design automation algorithm for AI-based condition-responsive exterior wall panels and their back frames. The scope of the study is limited to "detailed design" performed based on the working drawings during the exterior work process and "stone panels" among exterior materials. First, working-level data on stone works is collected to analyze the existing detailed design process. After that, design parameters are derived by analyzing factors that affect the design of the building's exterior wall and back frames, such as structure, floor height, wind load, lift limit, and transportation elements. The relational expression between the derived parameters is derived, and it is algorithmized to implement a rule-based AI design. These algorithms can be applied to detailed designs based on 3D BIM to automatically calculate quantity and unit price. The next goal is to derive the iterative elements that occur in the process and implement a robotic process automation (RPA)-based system to link the entire "Detailed design-Quality calculation-Order process." This study is significant because it expands the design automation research, which has been rather limited to basic and implemented design, to the detailed design area at the beginning of the construction execution and increases the productivity by using AI. In addition, it can help fundamentally improve the working environment of the construction industry through the development of direct and applicable technologies to practice.

PET/CT 검사에서 정량적 지표로 이용되는 SUV를 측정하는 방법 중 $SUV_{bw}$와 $SUV_{bsa}$를 환자의 BMI에 따라 비교하여 상관관계를 분석하였다. 실험을 위해 사용된 PET/CT scanner는 본원에서 사용하고 있는 Biograph mCT 40 (Siemens, Germany)이다. ROI는 bone, liver, lung에 각각 $4.5cm^2$ 면적으로 그렸으며 Syngo.via VA11A를 사용하여 $SUV_{max}$와 $SUV_{mean}$을 구하였다. 70명의 환자를 대상으로 시행한 PET/CT 영상으로 $SUV_{bw}$와 $SUV_{bsa}$를 비교 분석한 결과 환자의 BMI가 커질수록 $SUV_{bw}$와 $SUV_{bsa}$의 차이가 증가함을 보이며 $SUV_{mean}$보다 $SUV_{max}$에서의 차이가 더 많이 나타났다. Liver에서의 차이는 bone과 lung에 비해 상대적으로 높았고, bone과 lung에서는 유의한 차이는 없었다. 따라서 SUV를 산출하는 방법에 따라 오차가 발생할 가능성이 있으므로, 체중의존성을 줄이기 위해 임상에서는 실정에 맞게 적용하여 시행해야 할 것 으로 사료된다.

개똥쑥은 예로부터 항암, 항바이러스 및 항균의 효능을 지니는 것으로 알려져 왔지만 작용 기작에 대한 내용이 많이 알려지지 않았다. 본 연구에서는 AGS 인체 위암 세포를 대상으로 개똥쑥 추출물(AAE)에 의한 apoptosis 효과와 신호경로 연구를 시행하였다. AAE의 암세포 성장에 미치는 영향을 확인하기 위하여 AGS cell에 AAE를 처리하고 MTT assay와 LDH assay를 수행한 결과 AAE 농도 의존적으로 나타난 세포 성장 억제가 세포 손상에 의한 것임을 확인하였다. 또한, AAE에 의한 암세포 증식 억제 효과가 apoptosis에 의한 것인지 확인하기 위하여 Hoechst 33342 staining과 Annexin V-PI staining을 수행한 결과, Hoechst 33342 staining에서 apoptotic body와 세포질 응축이 농도 의존적으로 증가하는 것을 확인하였고, Annexin V-PI staining에서 apoptotic cells의 변화가 농도 의존적으로 증가함을 확인하였다. Western blotting의 결과 AAE가 농도 의존적으로 세포 생장에 관여하는 신호 단백질인 p-Akt, p-TSC2, p-mTOR, p-GSK-$3{\beta}$의 발현이 감소함을 확인하였고, anti-apoptotic 단백질인 Bcl-2의 발현이 억제됨으로써 proapoptotic 단백질인 Bax, Bak의 발현이 증가하는 일련의 신호경로를 조절할 수 있다는 것을 확인하였다. 미토콘드리아 막 전위의 탈분극 유도를 확인하기 위한 JC-1 assay 수행 결과, AAE 농도 의존적으로 미토콘드리아 막 전위의 탈분극이 유도됨을 확인하였다. 탈분극에 의한 caspase 활성을 확인하기 위해 caspase-3/7 activity assay를 수행한 결과, AAE 농도 의존적으로 caspase activity 증가를 확인하였다. 또한, apoptosis가 일어나는 일련의 신호경로를 확인하기 위해 apoptosis 상위 단백질인 Akt, mTOR, GSK-$3{\beta}$의 활성을 억제하는 LY294002, Rapamycin, BIO를 각각 AGS cell에 처리하고 세포증식에 미치는 영향과 신호 단백질의 발현 양상을 알아보기 위해 MTT assay, LDH assay, western blotting을 수행하였다. 그 결과 AAE와 LY294002, Rapamycin 처리군에서 세포증식 억제와 LDH 방출량 증가뿐만 아니라 세포 생장 신호 단백질인 p-mTOR, p-TSC2, p-Akt, p-GSK-$3{\beta}$의 발현이 감소하는 것을 확인하였고, Bcl-2의 발현이 억제됨으로써 Bax와 Bak의 발현을 증가시키는 신호경로를 조절할 수 있다는 것을 확인하였다. 따라서 AGS cell에 개똥쑥 추출물을 처리하였을 때 유도되는 apoptosis 효과는 Akt/mTOR/GSK-$3{\beta}$ 경로 활성 억제를 통해 Bcl-2 발현이 감소함에 따라 Bax, Bak를 활성화해 세포질로의 cytochrome C 유리에 따른 caspase 활성으로 이루어진다는 것을 알 수 있었다.
