This study aims to discuss policy alternatives for improving the curriculum of archival studies. As a theoretical study, it organized classical professional theories such as Greenwood and Good and confirmed that the archival professionals met all six criteria for professional occupations claimed by Perk. However, from the perspective that professionalism is not completed at any point in time, but is a constant pursuit, education and training of archival professionals, and the legal system that supports it, were analyzed. In addition, the case of the British ARA and the US ACA, which are implementing a professional certification system, was analyzed in the context that professionals should set their own standards for education and training to protect their authority and have norms for professional communities. In conclusion, policy alternatives centered on the academic training guidelines and the certification system were presented.

Background: The Bethesda System for Reporting Thyroid Cytopathology is one of the main classification systems for thyroid nodules. It expects that 7% of all fine needle aspiration biopsies will be reported as atypia or follicular lesions of undetermined significance, and 5-15% of these undetermined nodules are malignant. Our study is a retrospective analysis of variables that may be associated with outcome in patients with indeterminate thyroid nodules. Materials and Methods: Patients who underwent thyroidectomy in our institution between 2010 and 2014 were retrieved from the institutional records database. Patient demographics and medical histories were recorded. All ultrasonography reports were examined for nodule features and biochemical blood levels, hormone levels and complete blood counts were recorded. Results: A total of 103 patient cytopathology reports were regarded as belonging to the undetermined category. Some 35% of patients had malignant nodules. Median preoperative red cell distribution width (RDW) level was 13.6 inthe benign group, while it was 14.3 in patients with malignancy, demonstrating a significant correlation (p=0.003). Only calcification presence was significantly different between benign and malignant groups on ultrasonography (p=0.034). Conclusions: Ultrasonography is one of the primary tools for this matter. RDW levels may become another promising tool to predict malignancy.

Objective : The endoscopic endonasal transsphenoidal approach is a widely-used method for the surgical treatment of pituitary adenomas. We aimed to evaluate the results of endoscopic surgery by comparing preoperative classification methods and investigating their relationship with postoperative resection and remission rates and complications. Methods : We retrospectively reviewed the medical records of 236 patients (118 males) who underwent surgery for pituitary adenomas. Preoperative Knosp classification, tumor size (TS), suprasellar extension (SSE), postoperative resection and remission rates, and complications were evaluated. Results : The follow-up period was 3 months to 6 years. The patients' ages ranged between 16 and 84 years. Endocrinologically, 114 patients (48.3%) had functional adenoma (FA), and 122 patients (51.7%) had non-functional adenoma (NFA). Among the FA group, 92 (80.7%) showed remission. A statistically significant difference was found between patients with and without remission in terms of the Knosp, TS, and SSE classifications (p<0.01). Knosp, TS, and SSE classification grades were found to be correlated with the resection rates (p<0.01). Meningitis was seen in seven patients (3.0%), diabetes insipidus in 16 (6.9%; permanently in two [0.9%]), and rhinorrhea in 19 (8.1%). Thirty-six patients (15.3%) developed pituitary insufficiency and received hormone replacement therapy. Conclusion : The resection categories and remission rates of FAs were directly proportional to the adenoma sizes and Knosp grades, while the degree of suprasellar growth further complicated resection and remission rates. Adenoma sizes less than 2 cm and SSEs less than 1 cm are associated with favorable remission and resection rates.

Recently, in the defense field, efforts are being made to collect data by building data centers to incorporate artificial intelligence technology. Weapon system training data can be used as input data for artificial intelligence models and can be used as high-quality data to maximize training performance and develop military strategies. However, training data contains personal information such as the names and military numbers of the personnel who operated the equipment, and training records that reveal the characteristics of the weapon system. If such data is passed on to the enemy, not only the specifications and performance of the weapon system but also the proficiency of each operator may be exposed. In this paper, we propose a pseudonym processing methodology for education and training data security and also suggest a direction for revising related laws.

Objectives : Doctors are obviously one of the most interesting subject in medical history. Doctors are who treat patients and disease and the authors for medical records or books. Especially doctors in traditional medicine mostly tried to write medical books for new idea or their esperiences or leave their medical records for treatments, medication, prescription and so on. Therefore, many researchers have explained Korean or Chinese medical history of traditional society through those books or documents rather than doctors themselves. The Annals of the Joseon Dynasty has massive records for history, politics, society, culture, etc. Relating to medical history in traditional Korean medicine, there are ceveral researches about disease of King, disease itself, the methods of treatment and so on, through The Annals of the Joseon Dynasty. However, there are few on activities of many doctors in The Annals of the Joseon Dynasty. Methods : I tried to find out the names who had some roles of medicine in The Annals of King Sejong out of The Annals of the Joseon Dynasty. I could get 35 doctors and browsed 35 doctors in The Annals of the Joseon Dynasty again. Finally, I could have lots of articles from The Annals of the Joseon Dynasty related to 33 doctors(2 dontors had no records about medicine even they were doctors). Results : I categorized 2 ways of those articles; medical activities, non-medical activities. For medical activities, I got subcategories for medical activities; medical maltreatment, treatment for King, royal family, bureaucrat, ambassador. I also got subcategories for non-medical activities; publishing medical books, ambassador as a doctor, medical training, things related to hot spring, food therapist, veterinarian. Conclusions : Medical history of Joseon Dynasty in Korean medical history has somehow been recorded by medical books such as Hyangyakjipseongbang, Euibangyuchwi, Euilimchwalyo, Dongeuibogam, Jejungsinpyeon, Dongeuisusebowon, etc. So I have concerned that there are massive records on doctors activities in The Annals of the Joseon Dynasty and tried to focus on their various activities through this research.

When the record management faces to the information environment, the practices based on self-judgment needs more open and considerate policies. New viewpoint that treat records as information and treat information as records will produce new mutual-conscious behavior that create records based on the value of information usage and maintain information data based on the reliability as an record. As the internal aspect how to create records well, how to transfer them well, and how to archives them well used to be the focus of record management, existing legislation, guidelines, and training seem to be mainly related to this front steps. We should also address issues according to the succeeding information services, including opening to the relevant, sharing, duplicating, information security, privacy protection, and constructing collections with continual supplement. This paper observe the confusion of the viewpoints in the recent reports, explain the need of fusion viewpoint, and suggest interconnecting feedback cycle between record management system and general information system.

A records management agency assessment must reflect the possibility of actual situations including conditions and implementation. Institutional evaluation systems and indicators tools to improve records management. However, the reality is difficult if they are not conducted through the resources and efforts of the organization. The 2017 evaluation system of the National Archives of Korea and the index, which was published in March 2016, are expected to be highly difficult to perform as the frontline field tasks of the institution for a year. It is composed of indices with questionable effectiveness that are difficult to implement on the field. Some of these include the following: three training sessions for more than 10% of all employees, submission of document archive pictures of all schools, submission of the index items of all documents, increasing the utilization level of the standard record management system for the electronic documents that have not been transferred for several years, the transfer of non-electronic documents of all institutions, reclassification of non-disclosed records, etc. It recognizes the fundamental problems of the records management system and the 2017 evaluation indicators that the National Archives has mentioned about operations. As such, now is the time to reflect the years of experience in the field to amass knowledge that will help improve records management.
