Objectives: The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of women's late age of marriage on the interval between marriage and their first birth Methods: Data from Year 2000 Korea National Fertility Survey was collected through direct interview questionings, and the data was analyzed based on randomly selected sampling. In particular, the married women (N=5,648) were analyzed for the factors that determined the first-birth interval by performing Cox's proportional hazard model survival analysis. Results: Unlike previous findings, the woman whose age of marriage was 30 or more was more likely to delay the birth of her first baby than were the other women who married earlier. Further, a woman's age at marriage, a woman's residence before marriage, her husband's religion, her husband's level of education and the difference in age between the woman and her husband significantly influenced the first-birth interval. In contrast, for a married woman, her age, level of education, current residence and religion were not significant predictors of her first birth interval. Conclusions: Our study showed that women who married at the age of 30 years or more tend to postpone their first birth in Korea. When facing the increasing number of women who marry at a late age, the Korean government should implement population and social policies to encourage married women have their first child as early as possible.

Background: Increasing uptake of human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine should be a priority in developing countries since they suffer 88% of the world's cervical cancer burden. In many countries studies show that age at vaccination is an important determinate of parental acceptability. This study explores parental preferences on age-to-vaccinate for adolescent school-going girls. Materials and Methods: The sample was selected using a two-stage probability proportional to size cluster sampling methodology. Questionnaires were sent home with a random sample of 800 adolescent girls attending 12 schools in Mysore to be completed by parents. Descriptive statistics including frequencies, percentages and proportions were generated for independent variables and bivariate analyses (Chi square test) were used to assess the relationship between independent and appropriate age-to-vaccinate. Results: HPV vaccination acceptability was high at 71%. While 5.3% of parents felt girls should be vaccinated by 10 years or younger; 38.3% said 11-15 years; 14.8% said 16-18 years; 5.8% suggested over 19 years; and 33% didn't know. Only 2.8% of parents would not vaccinate their daughters. Conclusions: Delaying HPV vaccination until later ages may signifivantly increase uptake of the HPV vaccine in India.

사용자가 원격으로 가상환경에 접속하여 가상물체를 조작할 때 현실감을 증강시키기 위해서 햅틱 시스템이 사용된다. 그러나 원격 시스템 환경에는 통신시간지연이 발생하며, 발생된 통신시간지연은 햅틱 시스템을 불안정하게 만들 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 종래의 샘플-홀드 방식인 영차홀드 (ZOH; Zero-Order-Hold)가 아닌 일차홀드 (FOH; First-Order-Hold)를 포함하는 햅틱 시스템에서 시뮬레이션을 통해 통신시간지연과 햅틱 장치의 물성치 변화에 따른 가상 스프링상수의 안정성 영역을 분석하고 이를 통해 안정적인 햅틱 시스템을 구현하고자 한다. 통신시간지연이 없으면 일차홀드 (FOH) 방식이 영차홀드(ZOH) 방식보다 가상 스프링상수의 안정성 영역을 증가시킬 수 있었다. 그러나 통신시간지연이 증가하면, 샘플-홀드 방식보다 통신시간지연이 시스템 안정성에 더 큰 영향을 끼치므로, 샘플-홀드 방식에 따른 가상 스프링상수의 안정성 영역 크기에는 차이가 없어진다. 또한 통신시간지연과 일차홀드 방식이 포함되면 가상 스프링상수의 안정성 영역은 통신시간지연 크기에 반비례하고, 햅틱 장치의 댐핑상수 ($B_d$)에 정비례하여 증가하지만, 햅틱 장치의 질량 ($M_d$)에는 영향받지 않음을 알 수 있었다.

This study was carried out to investigate seasonal changes in body composition in Boleophthalmus pectinirostris in Korea. B. pectinirostris collected in Gangjin, Jeonnam, consisted of 58.7-75.8% moisture content, 16.1-17.6% protein, 0.8-3.4% crude lipids, and 1.3-3.6% crude ash. Livers consisted of 15-17% moisture content, 14.0-16.8% crude protein, 34.4-71.2% crude lipids, and 0.5-1.2% crude ash. Calcium, iron, potassium, etc., content in B. pectinirostris muscle averaged 267.5-599.8 mg/100 g, 1.98-28.3 mg, 160.7-327.9 mg, 20.6-60.2 mg, 0.4-2.2 mg, 0.23-0.46 mg, 66.5-192.9 mg, and 1.32-3.8 mg, respectively. (Please clarify: the list of measured values must correspond directly with what was measured, not just "etc.") The major amino acids in B. pectinirostris muscle, in proportional order, were glutamic acid, isoleucine, and leucine; whereas the major amino acids in the liver were glutamic acid, lysine, aspartic acid, and leucine. The major saturated fatty acids in the muscle were palmitic acid (15-19%) and stearic acid (8-11%). The major monoenes and polyenes were palmitoleic acid (C16:1) and oleic acid (C18:1), and EPA and DHA, respectively. The major saturated fatty acids and polyenes in the liver were the same as in muscle, but the monoenes were palmitoleic acid (C16:1) and cis-10-hepta-decenoic acid (C17:1). Seasonal changes in B. pectinirostris body composition may be attributable to differential accumulation of fat and nutrients in comparison to the spawning and hibernation period.

컴뮤트 타임 임베딩을 구현하려면 그래프 라플라시안 행렬의 고유값과 고유벡터를 구하여야 하는데, $o(n^3)$의 계산량이 요구되어 대용량 데이터에는 적용하기 어려운 문제가 있다. 이를 줄이기 위하여 표본화 과정을 통하여 크기가 줄어든 그래프 라플라시안 행렬에서 구한 다음, 원래의 고유값과 고유벡터를 근사화시키는 Nystr${\ddot{o}}$m 기법을 주로 채택한다. 이 과정에서 많은 오차가 발생하는데, 이를 개선하기 위하여 본 논문에서는 그래프 라플라시안 대신에 가중치 행렬을 표본화하고 이로부터 구한 고유값과 고유벡터를 그래프 라플라시안의 고유값과 고유벡터로 변환하는 기법을 이용하여 대용량 데이터로 구성된 스펙트럴 그래프를 근사적으로 컴뮤트 타임 임베딩하는 기법을 제안한다. 하지만, 이 방식도 스펙트럼 분해를 계산하여야 하므로 데이터의 크기가 증가하면 적용하기 어려운 문제가 발생한다. 이의 대안으로, 스펙트럼 분해를 계산하지 않고도 데이터 집합의 크기에 영향을 받지 않으면서 컴뮤트 타임을 근사적으로 계산하는 방식을 구현하고 이들의 특성을 실험적으로 분석한다.

The purpose of this study was to test the theoretical model designed to explain juvenile delinquency by media violence. Data were collected through questionnaire survey over a period of 3 months. Subjects served for this study consisted of 537 adolescents including 217 delinquent adolescents and 320 student adolescents in Korea, sampled from Korean student population and delinquent adolescent population confined in juvenile correctional institutions, using proportional stratified random sampling method. In this study, exogeneous variable was family dynamic environment and endogeneous variables were character of adolescent including need satisfaction/ frustration, sociability, antisocial personality tendency, complaints of psychosomatic symptoms and depressive trend, juvenile delinquent behavior and media violence themes including the extent of interest in and exposure and modelling impulsiveness and modelling to media violence themes. A total of 18 instruments were used to operationalized concepts in this model. A validation study indicated that internal consistencies for the 18 instruments which the researcher used were reliable. The one month test-retest correlation for these instruments ranged from 0.54 to 0.88. Statistical methods employed were descriptive statistics and covariance structural modelling. In summarized conclusion, it was found that media violence served as the most contributor to juvenile delinquency by direct effect of 0.64(t=10.18). That is, as the adolescents have to be the higher extent of interest in and exposure and modelling impulsiveness and modelling to media violence themes, they will show the more frequency of delinquent behavior. The single most powerful contributor by total effect of 0.73(t=7.90) (direct effect=0.19, indirect effect=0.54) to the development of delinquent behavior identified in this study was a construct defining family dynamic environment. That is, as the adolescents had to be more unstable family dynamic environment, they became more frustrated to their psychological need, and revealed the more maladaptive personality pattern, consequently they behaved the higher misconducts such as juvenile delinquency through media violence.

전력을 적재 소모하는 (300 mW 이하) 촉매가스센서가 개발되었고, 천연가스에 열용량을 측정하기 위해 컴퓨터로 작동되는 샘플링 시스템에 사용되었다. 가스의 열용량은 촉매자스센서가 감지되는 연소가스에 노출되었을 때 발생된 에너지에 비례된다. 36.30 - 39.88 $MJ/m^3$ 범위의 정격 열용량을 갖는 천연가스의 열용량은 약 $1\%$ 에러 내에서 측정되었다. 각 가스들은 센서의 온도에 대하여 약간씩 다른 감응곡선을 갖고 있다. 따라서 한 온도에서 모든 감응이 같을 수는 없다. 작동 온도는 측정장치의 전 성능에 영향을 미치기 때문에 교정과정에서 최적의 작동 온도를 찾는 것은 중요하다.

This experiment was carried out to determine the value of turfgrass clippings as a source of protein for animal feed. Levels of crude protein(CP) and in vitro dry matter digestibility(JVDMD) were determined for Korean lawngrass (Zoysia Japonica Steud.) under three levels of nitrogen fertilizer ( 0 , 350 and 700kg ha year and three levels of mowing interval between cuts (lO, 20, and 30 days). Sampling was done on the three-year old turffield on which nitrogen and mowing treatments were Imposed. Clippings were collected after mowing, and CP levels were calculated from a measurement of total N(CP = N >< 6.25) l)y Auto-analyser system-2 procedure and IVDMD by Maeng's method which was partly modified with Tilley and Terry's procedure. With the increased nitrogen legime the CP content of leaf clippings varied from 6.6 to 13.6% and that Of stem clippings from 4 to 10.3%. The CP levels of clippings were directly proportional to the N fertilization rate. The highest CP content was recorded in early July when it was 14.1% at 35OkgN ha -and I 18.l%kgN ha-1 with 10-wcek mowing interval. Mowing interval had little effect on the CP content in both leaf and stem clippings. The level of IVDMD in the Korean lawngrass clippings varied with mowing interval. The highest level measured was 47%, hut this varied during the growing season and occurred in the following order : early summer > summer > fall. This experiment has shown that Korean lawngrass clippings can he helpful source of protein for use in some animal feeds and that a high concentration of CP can occur depending upon N fertllizer and that of I VDM I) upon mowing practices.

Background: Smoking among adolescents has been linked to a variety of adverse and long term health consequences. "Susceptibility to smoking" or the lack of cognitive commitment to abstain from smoking is an important predictor of adolescent smoking. In 2008, we conducted a study to determine the psycho-sociological factors associated with susceptibility to smoking among secondary school students in the district of Kota Tinggi, Johor. Materials and Methods: Two thousand seven hundred students were randomly selected by proportional stratified sampling. Analyses on 1,736 non-smoking students revealed that prevalence of adolescents susceptible to smoking was 16.3%. Results: Male gender (aOR=2.05, 95%CI= 1.23-3.39), poor academic achievement (aOR 1.60, 95%CI 1.05-2.44), ever-smoker (aOR 2.17, 95%CI 1.37-3.44) and having a smoking friend (aOR 1.76, 95%CI 1.10-2.83) were associated with susceptibility to smoking, while having the perception that smoking prohibition in school was strictly enforced (aOR 0.55, 95%CI 0.32-0.94), and had never seen friends smoking in a school compound (aOR 0.59, 95%CI 0.37-0.96) were considered protective factors Conclusions: These results indicate that follow-up programmes need to capitalise on the modifiable factors related to susceptibility to smoking by getting all stakeholders to be actively involved to stamp out smoking initiation among adolescents.
