This study was attempted to identify the effect of thyroid cancer on ultrasonographic intention. Data was surveyed using interview and questionnaires by 205 subjects in a general hospital who was located in Seoul from December 13, 2010 to January 31, 2011. The results were as follows ; First, in the good self-conscious health status, 85.5% of the subjects had an intention for thyroid cancer ultrasonography according health habit was significantly higher than 70.0% of the subjects didn't have an intention for thyroid cancer ultrasonography($X^2$=6.73 p<.01). Secondly, the odds ratio of subjects with a good self-conscious health status was 2.53, had a higher intention to participate in thyroid ultrasonography than subjects with a poor self-conscious health status(95% Cl=1.39-12.7). In conclusion, we need to provide education to subjects in poorer health so that they will also participate in thyroid cancer ultrasonography. Active promotion should also be performed to elevate knowledge about the prevention of thyroid cancer.

Purpose: This research is to know whether aroma foot massage has influence on the relief of anxiety and pain during colonoscopy under conscious sedation. Method: This research was designed as a quasi-experiment of non-equivalent control group pretest-posttest. Data were collected from April 1 2005 to August 30 2005. The subjects were divided into three groups (control group, foot massage group and aroma foot massage group) with 30 persons each. Anxiety was evaluated with Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), blood pressure and pulse. Pain response was measured with VAS and non-verbal pain behavior score. Sleep satisfaction was measured with a graphic rating scale. Data were analyzed through Chi-square test, t-test and repeated measure ANOVA. Results: Systolic blood pressure, pulse, subjective anxiety and pain scores from the aroma foot massage group decreased significantly. Sleep satisfaction score of the aroma foot massage group increased significantly. Diastolic blood pressure from the aroma foot massage group did not decrease. Conclusion: The results show that aroma foot massage with refined oils can increase sleep satisfaction and decrease anxiety and pain during colonoscopy under conscious sedation.

The objective of ECMS(Environmentally Conscious Manufacturing Systems) is to consider environmental effects through the entire product life cycle from product development stage to design, manufacturing, supplying, using and disposing stage. Recently, environment-oriented recycling, reusing and manufacturing technologies have been researched actively in every engineering fields. In the field of chemical engineering, HHS (Health Hazard Scores) which classifies and analyzes hazardous materials in production processes has been presented. Metal cutting processes also have a lot of harmful factors, and especially hazardous components in cutting fluids have been known to have a bad effect on workers and working area. However, research works such as HHS have been little accomplished in metal cutting processes. In this research, a environmentally conscious machining process is presented by classifying hazardous components in cutting fluids, by using LCA(Life Cycle Assessments) and HHS method, and by evaluating environmental effects from cutting fluids.

The primary purpose of this study was to investigate consumers' narcissistic orientation group and apparel products benefits sought. The data were collected from 272 female consumers in Pusan, Daegu and Ulsan. The aforementioned were analyzed utilizing frequency, factor analysis, cluster analysis, MANOVA using SPSS Win 12.0. The results were as follows. First, cluster analysis on narcissism orientation identified four groups such as non-narcissism group, high narcissism group, privilege conscious group and achievable desire conscious group. Second, the groups related to their apparel products benefits sought were high narcissism group and privilege conscious group. There were significantly differences between the groups and apparel products benefits sought such as social prestige, impressive improvement and personality.

Cutting fluids used for superfinishing are usually mineral based oils With sulfur and chlorine additives. These cutting fluids are an environmental hazard and can adversely affect the health of personnel on the shop floor. The present investigation was undertaken to explore the possible alternative use of environmentally-conscious cutting fluids for superfinishing. Unlike mineral oils, these environmentally-conscious cutting fluids are biodegradable and non-hazardous. Experiments were conducted for testing an ester oil manufactured by Accu-Lube applied in miniscule amounts using the Minimum Quantity Lubrication (MQL) technique. A significant improvement in stock removal was found with the 6 stones tested. The specific energy values associated with the process were also significantly lower than those obtained previously with conventional straight oils and the water based synthetic fluid, indicative of better lubrication, while the surface roughness was comparable. These tests prove that MQL with ester oils can be a very effective environmentally-conscious alternative to conventional straight oils.

This paper approaches the subject of consciousness and unconsciousness from a mathematical point of view. It sets up a hypothesis that when unconscious state becomes conscious state, high density energy is released. We argue that the process of transformation of unconsciousness into consciousness can be expressed using the infinite recursive Heaviside step function. We claim that differentiation of the potential of unconsciousness with respect to time is the process of being conscious in a world where only time exists, since the thinking process never have any concrete space. We try to attribute our unconsciousness to a special solution of the multi-dimensional advection partial differential equation which can be represented by the finite recursive Heaviside step function. Mathematical language explains how the infinitive neural process is perceived and understood by consciousness in a definitive time.

Autism is a life-long neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by qualitative abnormalities in reciprocal social interactions and patterns of communication. Patients with autism are difficult to manage during dental treatment. Thus they need special consideration like physical restraint, conscious sedation or general anesthesia. A 5-year-old male dental patient with autism was reffered to dental treatment under conscious sedation using intramuscular midazolam that creats anterograde amnesia. Dental procedure using midazolm which cause anterograde amnesia can be effective treatment strategy in autism patient.

Machining is a one of the broadly used manufacturing process to produce the parts, products and various molds and dies. The environmental impact due to aerosol generation via atomization process is a major concern associated with environmental consciousness. This paper presents the experimental results to analyze the characteristics of cutting fluid aerosol generation in grinding process. Experimental results show that the generated fine aerosol which particle size less than 10micron appears near worker's breath zone under given operational conditions. The aerosol concentration is much higher enough to affect human health risk with its generated aerosol quantities. This quantitative analysis can be provided the basic knowledge f3r further research for environmentally conscious machining technology developments.
