  • With the successful arrival of quality free/open source software, open source ISD(Information System Development) projects have been drawing attention from academic researchers. However, there have been few efforts to examine the managerial aspect of open source ISD projects. This study use a case research methodology to explores the management of open source projects, especially from the perspective of behavior control. Through data analysis and discussion, the study found that various practices related to behavior control were exercised to obtain participants' shared goals, although specific instances vary in each case. This finding is contradictory to the views of some researchers who suggested open source ISD projects lack behavior control. For more comprehensive understanding, however, future research should also include controls of open source projects in terms of outcome control and self-control.

  • Porcine epidemic diarrhea virus (PEDV) emerged into Canada in January 2014, primarily affecting sow herds. Subsequent epidemiological analyses suggested contaminated feed was the most likely transmission pathway. The primary objective of this study was to describe general biosecurity and management practices implemented in PEDV-positive sow herds and matched control herds at the time the virus emerged. The secondary objective was to determine if any of these general biosecurity and farm management practices were important in explaining PEDV infection status from January 22, 2014 to March 1, 2014. A case herd was defined as a swine herd with clinical signs and a positive test result for PEDV. A questionnaire was used to a gather 30-day history of herd management practices, animal movements on/off site, feed management practices, semen deliveries and biosecurity practices for case (n = 8) and control (n = 12) herds, primarily located in Ontario. Data was analyzed using descriptive statistics and random forests (RFs). Case herds were larger in size than control herds. Case herds had more animal movements and non-staff movements onto the site. Also, case herds had higher quantities of pigs delivered, feed deliveries and semen deliveries on-site. The biosecurity practices of case herds were considered more rigorous based on herd management, feed deliveries, transportation and truck driver practices than control herds. The RF model found that the most important variables for predicting herd status were related to herd size and feed management variables. Nonetheless, predictive accuracy of the final RF model was 72%.

  • One-dimensional oxygen transport relation is indispensable to study the oxygen distribution in the LBE-cooled system with an oxygen control device. In this paper, a numerical research is carried out to study the oxygen transport characteristics in a gas-phase oxygen control device, including the static case and dynamic case. The model of static oxygen control is based on the two-phase VOF model and the results agree well with the theoretical expectation. The model of dynamic oxygen control is simplified and the gas-liquid interface is treated as a free surface boundary with a constant oxygen concentration. The influences of the inlet and interface oxygen concentration, mass flow rate, temperature, and the inlet pipe location on the mass transfer characteristics are discussed. Based on the results, an oxygen mass transport relation considering the temperature dependence and velocity dependence separately is obtained. The relation can be used in a one-dimensional system analysis code to predict the oxygen provided by the oxygen control device, which is an important part of the integral oxygen mass transfer models.

  • The purpose of this case-control study is to investigate the relationship between storke and stroke risk factors, such as family history and past history. The case-control study over clinical data registered from Daejeon Oriental Medical Hospital in the period of November 2006 to July 2010. Study subjects consisted of 108 patients with acute stroke within 1 month as the case group (Cases) and 108 people who visited hospital for health care as the genreral control group (Controls). The participants had been interviewed by residents to find out their family history and past history. Their blood was taken to check the blood lipid level and liver function. 1. The people whose family history included cerebrovascular accident had more probability of stroke than the people who did not have cerebral vascular accident as their family history. 2. The people who suffered from hypertension had more probability of stroke than the people who did not suffer from hypertension. 3. The people who suffered from diabetes mellitus had more probability of stroke than the people who did not suffer from diabetes mellitus. Based on this study, the people who had cerebral vascular accident as their family history should thoroughly treat their blood pressure and blood sugar level to prevent the cerebral vascular accident.

  • Objective : Stroke is a serious disease despite of the recent improvement in medical treatment. Hence, identification of modifiable risk factors for stroke is important. This case-control study was done to demonstrate that relation between risk factors(familial history of stroke, hypertension, diabetes mellitus and heart disease), lifestyle factors(alcohol drinking, psychologic stress, exercise, liking salty and hot foods) and the incidence of stroke. Methods : We interviewed 214 stroke patients(116 in men, 98 in women) as case group and 205 non-stroke patients(118 in men, 87 in women) as control group from January 1, 2001 to July 31, 2001 in oriental hospital of Kyung Hee medical center. We investigated risk factors, lifestyle factors of stroke in all patients and stroke-subtype of case group. Stroke-subtype consists of cerebral infarction and cerebral hemorrhage. Results : The percentage of familial history in the case group was significantly higher than that of control group, especially in the patients of cerebral infarction. The most ordinary preceding disease was hypertension. And the preceding disease of hypertension, diabetes mellitus was associated positively with the risk of stroke. The percentage of exercise was significantly higher than that of control group. The percentage of alcohol drinking, psychologic stress within 1 week and liking salty and hot foods was higher in the case group. However, there was no significant difference between case and control group. Conclusion : According to the above results, we found that familial history of stroke, preceding disease(hypertension, diabetes mellitus) affected to the incidence of stroke and exercise might be predisposing risk factors for stroke.

  • Malaria remains one of the leading health burdens in the developing world, especially in several sub-Saharan Africa countries; and Uganda has some of the highest recorded measures of malaria transmission intensity in the world. It is evident that the prevalence of malaria infection, the incidence of disease, and mortality from severe malaria remain very high in Uganda. Although the recent stable political and economic situation in the last few decades in Uganda supported for a fairly good appreciation of malaria control, the declines in infection, morbidity, and mortality are not sufficient to interrupt transmission and this country is among the top 4 countries with cases of malaria, especially among children under 5 years of age. In fact, Uganda, which is endemic in over 95% of the country, is a representative of challenges facing malaria control in Africa. In this study, we evaluated an active case detection program in 6 randomly selected villages, Uganda. This program covered a potential target population of 5,017 individuals. Our team screened 12,257 samples of malaria by active case detection, every 4 months, from February 2015 to January 2017 in the 6 villages (a total of 6 times). This study assessed the perceptions and practices on malaria control in Kiyuni Parish of Kyankwanzi district, Uganda. Our study presents that the incidence of malaria is sustained high despite efforts to scale-up and improve the use of LLINs and access to ACDs, based on the average incidence confirmed by RDTs.

  • Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of case management service for hypertensive elderly patients through the customized visiting home health care program. Method: Non-equivalent control group pretest-posttest design was employed. Data were collected from April 2007 to January 2009. Among a total of fifty subjects, 25 subjects were belonged to the case management group and the others were belonged to the general management group. Results: 1) In experimental group, significant increasing rate of number of people within normal blood pressure by time, but no significant increasing rate of number of people within normal blood neutral fat, total cholesterol, HDL, & LDL. 2) In experimental group, the score of knowledge about disease and healthy life practice were increased on 8 week period but decreased on follow up period. Number of people within normal blood HDL and mean score of healthy life practice were significantly higher than control group on follow up period. Conclusion: Case management service was effective on controlling blood pressure but partly effective on blood lipid, knowledge about disease, and healthy life practice in hypertensive patients. Further study is needed to conduct a periodic re-evaluation of the effect of case management and to verify an optimal interval to provide the case management service.

  • This study was to suggest a feasible sizing system of infants and children's swim-suits. The basic body dimensions were selected after surveying the swimsuit manufacturers. The control dimensions and the secondary dimensions were taken from the 1997 National Anthropometric Survey data for the establishment of the sizing system. While in the current market swimsuit sizes were generally measured by the hip circumference for boys, and the bust and hip circumference for girls, the height was selected in this study as the control dimension because the height is well recognized by the customers and the KS standards specify the height to be the control dimension for infant's and children's wear. In the new sizing system of this study, the height was a control dimension, and hip was selected as a secondary dimension for boys. and bust and hip were selected as secondary dimensions for girls. Conclusively, in this study we suggest 12 sizes in case of 5cm height interval by the KS sizing system and 7 sizes in case of loom height interval by the current market sizing system, based on the height as a control dimension, for a standard swim-suit sizing system for infants and children.
