  • Background: Oral cavity cancer (OCC) is one of the most common cancers worldwide. No studies have reported on the prevalence and epidemiologic risk factors of oral premalignant lesions (OPLs) in Thailand. The purpose of this study was to investigate the prevalence of OPLs and associated factors in Roi Et Province, Thailand. Materials and Methods: To investigate the prevalence of OPLs, a cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted in which 2,300 subjects over 40 years of age were recruited and screened for the prevalence of OPLs. To identify factors associated with OPLs, a matched case-control study was used in which the subjects were 102 cases with OPL and 102 matched controls without OPLs. The studies were conducted in Roi Et Province during the period 1 February, 2014, to 30 April, 2014, and the data were collected by the use of a structured interview questionnaire and by extraction of information from medical records. Data analyses involved the use of descriptive statistics, McNemar's test, and conditional logistic regression. Results: The overall prevalence of OPLs was 3.8%, and no-one was diagnosed with more than one type of OPL. The factors found to be associated with a statistically significant higher risk of an OPL were betel nut chewing, smoking, and alcohol consumption. The associations with these factors were strong, especially for betel nut chewing and smoking. Conclusions: The habits of betel nut chewing, smoking, and alcohol use are confirmed as factors associated with OPLs in a population of Roi Et Province, Thailand. Campaigns to reduce such risk healthy behaviour are needed, but whether any actual decrease will prevent the eventual transformation of an OPL into an OCC remains an open question.

  • Customers have the various needs and personalities and try to get them. The behaviour of buying products, one of the highlight things, is the most general phenomenon of filling up their desires, and even these types are eventually personalized. Also there are various criteria for selecting it and also those are to be determined by the customers' own personalities. Mostly customers show the more attractive behaviours for those products which are more attractive to them, and for carefully buying them they use various paths. The criteria to buy the products are the mostly generalized things such as price, design, size, weight, trend, and so on, and it can be affected by the specifics of the products. But it is not definitely unimportant to consider the personality. Customers have the unusual personality for the product which is more attractive to them, and then for the unattractive, they only show the unclear criteria or specifics. The existing studies are focused on the product itself, and then they just show the results related to the specifics of the products, but it could be considered a case that the customers could think some products classified into the highly involvement products would be the lower involvement ones. Upon this, for same products if the customers show some differences of information(relating to the degree of involvement), I am going to figure it out by using AHP that what the criteria to buy is. In this study, with the computer products which are considered as the highly involvement products, I will select two groups showing the differences of awareness of the products, and then figure out the selecting criteria.

  • 터널의 막장부근에서는 하중전이가 복잡한 3차원적 거동특성을 나타낸다. 일반적으로 3차원 해석은 입력자료의 준비 및 결과 해석에 많은 노력을 요하며, 비선형 압밀해석을 수행하는 경우 컴퓨터 계산수요가 커지는 문제 때문에 실제설계는 2차원 해석법을 주로 사용하게 된다. 3차원적인 터널거동을 2차원적으로 모델링하기 위하여는 터널 굴진과정을 수치해석적으로 표현하기 위한 경험 파라미터가 요구되며, 해석결과는 이 파라미터 값에 따라 크게 변화하는 특성을 나타낸다. 특히 이 값의 평가는 주로 주관적이고 경험적인 판단에 의존하게 되므로 임의성이 커 해석의 신뢰성 문제를 야기할 수 있다. 특히 지반거동이 간극수 등 시간의존성 요인에 의해 영향을 받는 경우 이 파라미터를 평가하기는 더욱 어려워진다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 문제점을 개선하기 위하여 제안된 Time-based 2-D Modeling Method를 사용하여 지하수위가 높은 풍화화강토내 터널굴착 문제에 적용하였고 이를 분할 굴착에도 적용 가능하도록 확장하였다. 해석결과는 실측결과와 잘 일치하는 거동을 보였다. 이 방법을 이용하여 복합막장터널의 거동특성을 조사한 결과, 마제형 터널단면의 역학적 유익성이 확인되었다.

  • The purpose of this study was to investigate clothing behavior and ornaments wear of university students. The subject of this study consists of 241 college students who were attended in Kongju National University. SPSSWIN Program was utilized to calculated frequency(N), mean value(M) and standard deviation(SD) for statistical analysis. Differences among the populations were examined through T-test, F-test, $x^2$-test. The results of this study were as follow : 1. Clothing behavior of university students had significant difference according to sex, grade. In general, female students showed higher score than did male students in clothing interest, clothing conformity, self-estimation about clothing, clothing dependence, clothing aesthetic, clothing modesty, A first-year students had high tendency in clothing interest. 2. The wear of ornaments had significant difference according to variables. Buying the ornaments, most of students sot information in show window and emphasized on design. Male students wanted to have the ornaments of shoes, watch, hat & necklet, but female students wanted to have the ornaments of shoes, earring, necklet & hairpin. 3. Clothing behavior has Influenced university students' ornaments wear. The university students who appeared to be interested in clothes were apparently influenced by peers when selecting ornaments. Ornaments were usually bought in the department store, while belts were among the most popular choices. Students who stressed color when purchasing ornaments showed a high level of interest in and dependence on clothes. On the basic of these results, we can conclude that university students' taste in clothing behavior and use of ornaments wear depend on several different factors. Therefore, it is possible to outline the shift in clothing attitudes during adolescence. In order to understand university students' behaviour concerning clothes, much guidance and various studies on the subject are much recommended.

  • 터널이나 사면과 같은 암반 구조물의 거동은 불연속면에 의해 지배적인 영향을 받는다. 따라서 암반내 존재하는 불연속면 자료의 조사 및 분석은 암반구조물 설계 및 시공에 있어서 상당히 큰 중요성을 가진다. 이러한 불연속면의 조사 및 분석 작업 중에서 반드시 거처야 할 작업 중 하나가 절리군을 분별하는 것이다. 기존의 절리군 분석 작업은 대부분 시각적인 방법으로 행해지고 있다. 이 경우 분석자의 주관에 따라 차이를 보일 수 있으며 절리의 방향 정보 외의 다른 추가적인 정보들은 사용하기 힘든 단점이 있다. 본 연구에서는 절리군 분석을 돕기 위하여 퍼지 클러스터링 기법을 이용한 프로그램을 개발하였으며 이를 두 가지 형태의 절리 자료에 대한 절리군 분석에 적용하였다. 적용 결과 퍼지 클러스터링 기법이 다수의 절리 자료에 대한 절리군 분석, 평균방향 및 밀집도 추정에 효과적이며 타당한 방법임을 확인하였다.

  • Background: The aim was to determine the lifestyle behaviors and the practices for early diagnosis of cancer of cancer patients. Materials and Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional design was used for this study. The sample consisted of 222 patients with a diagnosis of cancer (non-random sample method). Ethical permission was obtained of the Non-interventional Research Ethics Committee of our Institution. Values of p<0.05 were accepted as statistically significant. Results: It was observed that 54.4% of the patients had never performed breast self-examination, 60.8% had never had a mammography, and 71.2% had never had a Pap smear. Sixty-six point two percent of patients had never had screening for colon cancer within the past ten years. GIS cancers were higher in smokers and ex-smokers (p=0.005), in drinkers and in ex-drinkers (p=0.000). The breast cancer rate was higher in obese people (p=0.019). Conclusions: The results of this study provide information on the healthy lifestyle behavior of cancer patients before their diagnosis, and their use of early diagnosis practices. The important aspect of this study is to extend cancer patients' period of life after the diagnosis and treatment process, to make them conscious of risky lifestyle and nutritional behavior so that they can maintain a high quality of life, and to start initiatives in this direction that would ensure changes in behavior.

  • The use of membrane as an innovative technology for water treatment process has now widely been accepted and adopted to replace the conventional water treatment process in increasing fresh water production for various domestic and industrial purposes. In this study, ultrafiltration (UF) membranes with different formulation were fabricated via phase inversion method. The membranes were fabricated by varying the polymer concentration (16 wt%, 18 wt%, 20 wt%, and 21 wt%). A series of tests, such as field emission scanning electron microscope (FESEM), pore size and porosity, contact angle, and zeta potential were performed to characterize the membranes. The membrane performance in terms of permeation flux and rejection were evaluated using a laboratory bench-scale test unit with mine water, lake water and tube well as model feed solution. Long hour filtration study of the membranes provides the information on its fouling property. Few pore blocking mechanism models were proposed to examine the behaviour of flux reduction and to estimate the fouling parameters based on different degree of fouling. 21 wt% PVDF membrane with smaller membrane pore size showed an excellent performance for surface water treatment in which the treated water complied with NWQS class II standard.

  • Bumblebees have apposition compound eyes (one on either side of the head) of about 6,000 ommatidia and three small single-lens ocelli on the frons of their head capsule. The surface of the eye is smooth and interommatidial hairs, as in the honeybee, are not developed. Each ommatidium (approx. 26 ㎛ in diameter) is capped by a hexagonal facet and contains in its centre a 3 ㎛ wide, columnar light-perceiving structure known as the rhabdom. Rhabdoms consist of thousands of regularly aligned, fingerlike microvilli, which in their membranes contain the photopigment molecules. Axons from each ommatidium transmit the information of their photic environment to the visual centres of the brain, where behavioural reactions may be initiated. Since bumblebee eyes possess three classes of spectrally different sensitivity peaks in a ratio of 1:1:6 (UV= 353 nm, blue= 430 nm and green=548 nm) per ommatidium, they use colour vision to find and select flower types that yield pollen and nectar. Ommatidial acceptance angles of at least 3° are used by the bumblebees to discriminate between different flower shapes and sizes, but their ability to detect polarized light appears to be used only for navigational purposes. A flicker fusion frequency of around 110Hz helps the fast flying bumblebee to avoid obstacles. The small ocelli are strongly sensitive to ultraviolet radiation and green wavelengths and appear to act as sensors for light levels akin to a photometer. Unlike the bumblebee's compound eyes, the ocelli would, however, be incapable of forming a useful image.

  • 동물복지는 유럽의 소비자들과 시민들에게 상당히 중요하다는 것이 최근의 여론조사에서 확인되었다. 동물복지는 개별동물의 특성이라는 것 때문에 연구자들 뿐만 아니라 다른 사람들도 동물에 근거한 평가기준 (동물에서 측정된 척도, 예를 들면, 동물의 건강과 행동)이 동물복지의 타당한 표식이 될 수 있다고 오래 동안 제안해왔다. 그러므로 복지의 평가기준은 필수적으로 동물을 사용한 평가 척도에 바탕을 둘 수 있으며, 반면에 자원을 근거로 한 평가 기준은 위해요소들을 평가할 수 있는 능력을 제공한다. 이 계획의 첫 번째 목표는 복지를 감시하는 체계를 개발하여 복지의 척도를 접근 가능하고 이해할 수 있는 정보로의 표준화된 변환을 통하여 복지의 상태를 평가할 수 있게 하는 것이다. 한편 얻어진 정보는 동물시설 관리자들에게 제공되어 동물복지의 상태에 대하여 알게 하며, 또 다른 한편으로는 소비자와 소매상에게 동물 관련 제품의 복지 상태에 대한 정보를 제공한다. 두 번째 목표는, 유해한 행동적 및 생리적인 사태의 발생을 최소화하고, 인간과 동물간의 관계를 향상시키며, 그리고 동물에게 안전하고 흥미로운 환경을 제공함으로써, 동물의 복지를 향상시키는 것이다. 포함되어야 할 복지에 대한 다른 측정 가능한 양상들은 복지의 표준들로 변환된다. 이들은, 동물복지과학으로 이해되는 것처럼, 동물에게 의미 있는 것을 반영한다. 일단 동물시설에 대한 모든 평가척도들이 측정되면, 그 시설물의 동물복지에 대한 전반적인 평가를 수행하기 위한 상향식 접근이 있게 된다. 먼저 수집된 자료 (즉, 그 동물 시설에 대한 다른 척도로 얻어진 수치) 는 합쳐져서 표준 점수가 계산된다. 그리고 나서 표준점수는 합쳐져서 원칙 점수가 계산되며, 마지막으로, 얻어진 원칙 점수에 따라서 그 동물 시설에 대한 복지의 범주가 정해진다.
