The length of root canal has to be measured for endodontic treatment. Several electronic apex locators were developed to measure the length of root canal by other researchers. And their accuracies were verified by X-ray or micrometer method. But these methods did not consider the non-linear bends of pulp and had ${\pm}0.5mm$ error which was large enough to measure the length of root canal. The purpose of this study is the introduction of a new method to measure the length of root canal and the verification of the accuracy of an electronic apex locator using a Micro-CT. The length of root canal of 6 teeth were measured with the electronic apex locator. When the electronic apex locator reads 0.5, 0.6, 0.7, 0.8, 0.9 and 1.0 mm length of the file which was inserted in the hole of the tooth to measure the length of root canal. The average (${\pm}$Standard deviation) length of root canal of 6 teeth measured by the Micro-CT was $0.49{\pm}0.03,\;0.59{\pm}0.04,\;0.68{\pm}0.03,\;0.78{\pm}0.03,\;0.90{\pm}0.04\;and\;1.01{\pm}0.03mm$, respectively. The maximum error of the electronic apex locator was 0.06 mm.

Since obesity has been a crucial issue regarding children's health in Korea, numerous studies have been conducted. However, it is difficult to locate studies that can help researchers and/or medical professionals who want to study behavioral differences between obese and normal weight (non-obese) children. The collected literature about obese childrens behaviors were accumulated by performing 'key word' searches from several web engines: 'obesity' 'children obesity' 'behavior' 'habit' 'eating behavior or habit' 'exercise' 'physical activity' and 'daily behavior'. The information was extracted and the behaviors were reviewed utilizing 30 papers that revealed any differences from normal weight children with at least p .05 level of significance. According to those studies, the obese children tended to skip meals more often as a method of losing weight. They also have an increased appetite, eat larger portions and rarely leave food on their plates. The obese children prefer to eat high fat, high calorie foods and eat faster than their normal weight counterparts. Also, the children usually eat alone and eat at irregular meal times. Beside the behaviors related to the standard three meals a day, obese children have high preferences for snacking. The children reported that with pocket money they usually eat certain types of snacks without parent approval. The children stated that they exercise more on a regular basis. However, when asked about their participation they were not likely to engage actively. Meanwhile, they tend to spend free time doing sedentary activities such as watching TV or playing on the computer. Since these studies used self -reported questionnaires with a small sample, size there may be difficulty in forming a basis about obese children's behaviors. Nevertheless, these findings are in accordance with other studies conducted in local as well as western countries. In conclusion, obese children have different daily behaviors or routines from normal weight children. It is recommended that altering these behavioral patterns to match those of normal weight children should be encouraged.

United Nations (UN) adopted 17 global sustainable development agenda to the year 2030 in the 68th general assembly on september, 2015. The global agendas and goals are important for 3 reasons: (1) to adopt the international standard for determining the health status; (2) to identify areas in need of attention; and (3) to advance international cooperation regarding health issues. In the area of infectious diseases, our goals include the eradication of human immunodeficiency virus infection and acquired immune deficiency syndrome, tuberculosis, and malaria as well as a substantial reduction of hepatitis by the year 2030. In the area of non-communicable diseases, our goal is to reduce premature mortality (${\leq}70years$) at least 30% by the year 2030. Preventive activities such as smoking cessation, alcohol abstinence, nutritional measures, and physical activities, should also be promoted intensively nationwide. It is also necessary to establish stringent policies for control hypertension, diabetes, obesity, and hypercholesterolemia. Additionally, environmental health, injury by traffic accident, mental health, and drug and alcohol abuse are important health policies. Furthermore, in the area of international health and cooperation, maternal and child health remain important areas of support for underdeveloped countries. Education and training towards the empowerment of health professionals in underdeveloped countries is also an important issue. The global agenda prioritize resources(manpower and budget) allocation of international organizations such as UN, World Health Organization, United Nations Development Programme, and World Bank. The global agenda also sets the contribution levels of Official Developmental Assistance donor countries. Health professionals such as professors and researchers will have to turn their attention to areas of vital international importance, and play an important role in implementation strategies and futhermore guiding global agenda.

Purpose: The use of micro-computed tomography (micro-CT) scans in biomedical and dental research is growing rapidly. This study aimed to explore the scientific literature on approaches and applications of micro-CT in restorative dentistry. Materials and Methods: An electronic search of publications from January 2009 to March 2021 was conducted using ScienceDirect, PubMed, and Google Scholar. The search included only English-language articles. Therefore, only studies that addressed recent advances and the potential uses of micro-CT in restorative and preventive dentistry were selected. Results: Micro-CT is a tool that enables 3-dimensional imaging on a small scale with very high resolution. In this method, there is no need for sample preparation or slicing. Therefore, it is possible to examine the internal structure of tissue and the internal adaptation of materials to surfaces without destroying them. Due to these advantages, micro-CT has been recommended as a standard imaging tool in dental research for many applications such as tissue engineering, endodontics, restorative dentistry, and research on the mineral density of hard tissues and bone growth. However, the high costs of micro-CT, the time necessary for scanning and reconstruction, computer expertise requirements, and the enormous volume of information are drawbacks. Conclusion: The potential of micro-CT as an emerging, accurate, non-destructive approach is clear, and the valuable research findings reported in the literature provide an impetus for researchers to perform future studies focusing on employing this method in dental research.

In order to various service types of real time and non-real time traffic with varying requirements are transmitted over the IEEE 802.16 standard is expected to provide quality of service(QoS) researchers have explored to provide a queue management scheme with differentiated loss guarantees for the future Internet. The sides of a packet drop rate, an each class to differential drop probability on achieving a low delay and high traffic intensity. Improved a queue management scheme to be enhanced to offer a drop probability is desired necessarily. This paper considers multiple random early detection with differential drop probability which is a slightly modified version of the Multiple-RED(Random Early Detection) model, to get the performance of the best suited, we analyzes its main control parameters (max_th, min_th, max_p) for achieving the proportional loss differentiation (PLD) model, and gives their setting guidance from the analytic approach. we propose Dynamic-multiple queue management scheme based on differential drop probability, called Dynamic-VQSDDP(Variable Queue State Differential Drop Probability)T, is proposed to overcome M-RED's shortcoming as well as supports static max_p parameter setting values for relative and each class proportional loss differentiation. M-RED is static according to the situation of the network traffic, Network environment is very dynamic situation. Therefore max_p parameter values needs to modify too to the constantly and dynamic. The verification of the guidance is shown with figuring out loss probability using a proposed algorithm under dynamic offered load and is also selection problem of optimal values of parameters for high traffic intensity and show that Dynamic-VQSDDP has the better performance in terms of packet drop rate. We also demonstrated using an ns-2 network simulation.

본 논문은 환경 노이즈를 원천적으로 차단하는 성대 마이크를 이용한 명령어 인식기를 개발한다. 성대마이크는 환경 노이즈의 효과를 최소화하는 장점이 있다. 그러나 고주파의 부재와 부분적인 포먼트 정보 손실 때문에, 성대마이크를 이용해서 개발된 ASR시스템은 표준마이크를 이용한 시스템에 비해 낮은 성능을 보인다. 이러한 문제 때문에 ASR시스템 개발에 성대마이크를 이용한 경우는 표준 마이크로 낮은 성능을 보인다. 이러한 문제 때문에 ASR시스템 개발에 성대마이크를 이용한 경우는 표준 마이크로부터 입력되는 정보 보안하는데 주로 사용된다. 본 논문은 한국어의 음운적 특정과 신호 분석을 통해 성대마이크만을 사용한 높은 성능의 ASR 시스템을 개발 할 수 있음을 보인다. 주파수 대역내 에너지 합을 이용하는 MFCC 알고리즘이 갖는 성대신호 분석의 문제점을 제시하고, 성대신호를 대상으로 보다 높은 성능을 갖는 특정추출 알고리즘의 조건을 제시한다. 이러한 조건은 (1) 민감한 band-pass filter와 (2) 유/무성음 분리를 위해 사용하는 특정벡터의 사용이다 실험 결과 제안된 조건을 만족하는 ZCPA 알고리즘을 적용한 경우가 MFCC를 적용한 경우보다 약 16%정도의 높은 성능을 보인다. 그러고 CMS와 RASTA와 같은 channel normalization 알고리즘을 적용한 경우 약 2%의 성능 향상이 있다.

Objective: To describe patterns of spontaneous reporting on adverse events following immunization (AEFIs) using the human papilloma virus (HPV) vaccine according to the Brighton Collaboration (BC) criteria. Methods: We used the Korea Adverse Event Reporting System (KAERS) database including vaccinations between 2008 and 2017. To apply BC criteria, we classified 58 BC AEFIs into World Health Organization Adverse Reaction Terminology (WHO-ART) codes. We applied MedDRA standard medical queries that were pre-defined as five BC AEFIs. Terminology mapping between MedDRA and WHO-ART terms was performed by three researchers. Descriptive statistics of individual case safety reports were analyzed according to BC applicability. Disproportionality analyses were performed on each BC AEFI and each preferred AEFI term according to the case-noncase approach; reporting odds ratio (ROR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) were calculated. Results: Among the 30,266 reports of vaccinations between 2008 and 2017, 2,845 reports included the HPV vaccine. Of these reports, 1,511 (53.1%) included at least one BC AEFI. Reports from physicians or manufacturers included more BC AEFIs than from other reporters. Injection site reactions and fever were frequently reported in BC AEFIs; spontaneous abortion and ectopic pregnancy (ROR, 14.29 [95% CI, 4.30-47.49]) and vasculitic peripheral neuropathy (ROR, 8.57 [95% CI, 2.61-28.10]) showed the highest ROR. Among non-BC AEFIs, dizziness or myalgia were frequently reported; exposure during pregnancy (ROR, 23.95 [95% CI, 16.27-35.25]) and inappropriate schedule of administration (ROR, 22.89 [95% CI, 16.74-31.31]) showed the highest ROR. Conclusion: BC criteria would be applicable for labeled AEFIs, whereas analyzing non-BC AEFIs would be useful for detecting unlabeled AEFIs.
