조류에서 성적이형은 암수간 신체크기, 깃털, 색, 또는 행동의 차이를 의미한다. 일반적으로, 갈매기과를 포함한 많은 해양성조류는 깃털 색에서 성적동형을 보이며, 암수가 양육을 공유하기 때문에 야외에서 성감별을 어렵게 만든다. 쉽고 비침습적인 성감별 도구의 개발은 생활사의 진화에서 암수 양육의 정도를 이해하는데 유용하게 사용될 수 있다. 본 연구는 사육 검은머리갈매기(Saundersilarus saundersi) 번식쌍의 부리-머리 형태를 이용하여 비침습적 성감별 도구를 개발하고, 이를 활용하여 야생 번식쌍의 암수 포란행동의 변이를 설명하는 요인을 분석하였다. 사육상태에서 자연적으로 형성된 쌍에서, 수컷은 배우자 암컷에 비해 상대적으로 큰 부리-머리 비율을 나타내었으며, 이 성감별 도구를 이용하였을 때 성공적으로 야생 12 번식쌍의 성감별을 수행하였다. 야생수컷과 암컷은 함께 낮시간의 95%를 포란을 위해 둥지를 지켰다. 그러나, 수컷의 포란비율은 일몰시간이 가까워지면서 급격하게 증가하였는데, 이는 수컷의 야간 포란의 가능성을 내재하고 있는 것으로 사료된다. 결론적으로, 본 연구는 성적동형인 검은머리갈매기의 비침습적 성감별 도구를 개발하였으며, 이를 활용 하였을때 야생 번식쌍의 암수 포란행동의 변이가 다른 생태적인 요인보다는 일주기와 연관성이 높다는 것을 보여주고 있다.

Purpose: Sexuality is a fundamental element of human life and is closely related to mental health. This study was conducted to understand domestic research trends on gender, mental health, and psychological well-being through an integrated review. Methods: Through four domestic databases, 15 papers were finally selected using the search terms 'sex', 'mental health', and 'psychological well-being'. Results: Fifteen papers have been published since 2000 and 10 documents have been published since 2010. A majority of the studies were basic research and reviews, and these included four qualitative studies. Depending on the subject, we classified five articles into three themes by the developmental stages (youth, married women, and the elderly), eight sexual minority studies, and two other studies (right to sexual self-determination, and dating for people with disabilities). Conclusion: A more open social concern and approach to sex, the most basic human need, is warranted. The field of nursing practice requires more attention.

Purpose: The mastoid region is ideal for studying sexual dimorphism due to its anatomical position at the base of the skull. This study aimed to determine sex in the Iranian population based on measurements of the mastoid process using different data mining algorithms. Materials and Methods: This retrospective study was conducted on 190 3-dimensional cone-beam computed tomographic (CBCT) images of 105 women and 85 men between the ages of 18 and 70 years. On each CBCT scan, the following 9 landmarks were measured: the distance between the porion and the mastoidale; the mastoid length, height, and width; the distance between the mastoidale and the mastoid incision; the intermastoid distance (IMD); the distance between the lowest point of the mastoid triangle and the most prominent convex surface of the mastoid (MF); the distance between the most prominent convex mastoid point (IMSLD); and the intersecting angle drawn from the most prominent right and left mastoid point (MMCA). Several predictive models were constructed and their accuracy was compared using cross-validation. Results: The results of the t-test revealed a statistically significant difference between the sexes in all variables except MF and MMCA. The random forest model, with an accuracy of 97.0%, had the best performance in predicting sex. The IMSLD and IMD made the largest contributions to predicting sex, while the MMCA variable had the least significant role. Conclusion: These results show the possibility of developing an accurate tool using data mining algorithms for sex determination in the forensic framework.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to evaluate possible differences in the location of the inferior alveolar canal in male and female Egyptians. Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional retrospective study involved the evaluation of 210 CBCT scans of Egyptian individuals (18-70 years old). The inferior alveolar canal was localized by measuring 8 linear dimensions: 2 for the vertical localization of the mental foramen (superior and inferior to the mental foramen), 4 at the first molar bifurcation for the vertical and horizontal localization of the inferior alveolar canal (superior, inferior, buccal, and lingual to the inferior alveolar canal), and 2 for the horizontal localization of the mandibular foramen (anterior and posterior to the mandibular foramen). The measurements were statistically analyzed via comparative analysis, stepwise logistic regression, and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis. Results: Six of the 8 measured distances differed to a statistically significant extent between the sexes. Regression analysis suggested a logistic function with a concordance index of 84%. The diagnostic accuracy capabilities of the linear measurements as sex predictors were calculated using ROC analysis, and the 6 best predictors for sex determination were selected and ranked from highest to lowest predictive power. Moreover, combining these 6 predictors increased the predictive power to 84%. Conclusion: The location of the inferior alveolar canal in the Egyptian population varies significantly by sex; accordingly, this anatomic landmark could be used as a reliable indicator of sexual dimorphism.

The author studied to determine the sex and age of 8 ancient human skeletal remains, which had excavated from ancient tombs located in Yeanri, Kimhae. Some kinds of personal identification methods their skulls and teeth were used for this study and the results were obtained as follows : 1. Sex determination was possible in ancient teeth from 4th to 5th century, using detection of X-Y homologous amelogenin gene by polymerase chain reaction. 2. DNA analysis proved that the materials examined were all male, but which always did not coincide with the results from other methods for sex determination including comparison of sexual differentiation of cranium and teeth and use of discriminant functions in the dental measurement. 3. There was little difference of the estimated ages between the methods by regression of pulp cavity and attrition in teeth. The ages from these two methods always did not coincide with ones from evaluation closure of cranial and palatal sutures. 4. Sex and age of the materials were determined as follows ; $\cdot$ Y9 was estimated to be male in early sixties. $\cdot$ Yl2 was estimated to be male in late twenties to early thirties. $\cdot$ Y37 was estimated to be male in early forties. $\cdot$ Y70 was estimated to be male in early sixties. $\cdot$ Y87 was estimated to be male in late forties. $\cdot$ Y109 was estimated to be male in early forties. $\cdot$ Yl29 was estimated to be male in late thirties to early forties. $\cdot$ Yl42 was estimated to be male in late fifties to early sixties.

Monthly changes of the gonad follicle index (GFI), reproductive cycle, egg-diameter composition, first sexual maturity of the Pacific oyster, Crassostrea gigas, were studied based on the samples which have been collected from the intertidal zone of Poryong west coast of Korea, from January to December, 1996. C. gigas, is dioecious, while a few individuals are alternatively hermaphroditic. Monthly variation of gonad follicle index (GFI) used for determination of spawning period, coincided with the reproductive cycle. GFI increased from April when seawater temperatures gradually increased and reached the maximum in May. And then, GFI sharply decreased from June to September due to spawning. Reproductive cycle of this species can be divided into five successive stages: in females, early active stage (March to April), late active stage (April to May), ripe stage (May to August), partially spawned stage (June to September) and spent/inactive stage (September to February); in males, early active stage (February to March), late active stage (April to May), ripe stage (May to September), partially spawned stage (June to September) and spent/ inactive stage (September to February). The diameter of fully mature eggs are approximately 50um. Spawning occurred from June to September, and two spawning peaks were observed in June and August when the seawater temperature was above $20^{\circ}C$. Percentages of the first sexual maturity of males of 20.1-25.0 mm in shell height were over $50\%$, while those of females of 25.1-30.0 mm in shell height were over $50\%$. All the males of > 30.1 mm and all the females of ^gt; 35.1 mm completed their first sexual maturity. The results suggest that C. gigas has a protandry phenomenon. Sex ratios of 919 oysters observed were 453 females $(49.29\%)$, 429 males $(46.68\%)$, 16 hermaphrodites $(1.74\%)$, and 21 indeterminate individuals $(2.29\%)$. In age class I, sex ratio of males were $64.00\%$, thus, a higher percentage than that of females. It was noted that $64.00\%$ of the young males (age class I) were more functional than females in age class I, but 2-3 year-old oysters showed higher percentage of females. Percentages of hemaphrodites in 2-3 year classes were relatively higher than those in other year classes. Histological pattern of hermaphrodites can be divided into two types: Type I (hermaphrodite having a number of newly formed developing oocytes on the oogenic tissues within a degenerating spermatogenic follicle after discharge of numerous spermatozoa) and Type II (hermaphrodite having two separate follicles in the same gonad).

Objectives: This study aims to analyze recognition and problems of in Daegu local college students on sexual violence and figure out major factors to prevent sexual violence and to use as necessary basic resources for the improvement of individual and social recognition and effective sexual education. Methods: The Data from 255 students (85%) out of 300 excluding questionnaires with insufficient answers were under analysis using Excel Program and SPSS Win 17.0 for cross-tabulations and correlation analysis. Significance test were performed using $x^2$-test. Results: 1) As to recognition of sexual violence by gender, 88.2%(60) of male and 91.4%(171) of female students conceived the current sexual violence level is hazardous which shows female students had slightly higher recognition. 2) As to recognition of sexual education by gender, both conceived it for equipping proper value system of sex(55.9% of male & 61.5% of female student). 3) As to prevention and coping with sexual violence by gender, 58.8% of male students and 65.2% of female students answered that prevention is possible. 4) As to the correlation between sexual violence factors, it showed positive (+) correlation in the experience of sexual education and the recognition of sexual violence level, in the recognition of sexual violence level and the recognition of sexual violence responsible scope, and in the possibility of sexual violence prevention and the recognition of sexual crime prevention law. 5) As to the recognition and measurement by experience of sexual education, among those who answered the current sexual violence level was hazardous 91.8% had previous sexual education experience and 83.3% had no experience. 6) As to the recognition and measurement of sexual violence by experience of sexual violence (self-determination), those with sexual education experience (79.8%) had little experience in sexual violence than those with not (91.6%). 7) As to the recognition and measurement of sexual violence by the possibility of preventing sexual violence, it showed statistically significant difference in the reason of increase of sexual violence(p<0.01). Conclusions: Accordingly, to provide systematic and sustainable sexual education, individualized education considering gender, individual development rather than standardized group education in its teaching method is necessary, and follow-up evaluation and feed-back system should be implemented to assess achievement and recognition of sexual education.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to identify factors to predict of condom use for the prevention of sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) among sex workers in a Korean community. The theoretical ground of this study was the Interaction Model of Client Health Behavior. Method: A descriptive, cross sectional and retrospective research design was employed in this study. A total of 100 sex workers who take a clinical check-up on STDs regularly at W Public Health Center were recruited by convenient sampling, and with consent to participate in this study. All of the measures were piloted, and the reliability of each scale ranged from 0.7 to 0.9. Data were analyzed using discriminating function analysis with SPSS-PC. Results: Five independent measures (partner preference for using condoms, subjects desire to prevent STD, age, type of relationship and sexual self-determination) contributed significantly to the best discriminating function. The discriminating function analysis resulted in correct classification of 83.1% of the respondents into their corresponding groups. Conclusion: Condoms are a main means of STDs prevention. Risk-reduction interventions that enhance communication skills and intrinsic motivation will be effective in increasing condom use to prevent STDs among sex workers.

Covariance components and genetic parameters of weekly live body weight from hatching to six weeks of age and age of sexual maturation were estimated in a laying type Japanese quail line. The univariate and bivariate animal model analysis included hatching group and sex as fixed effects. Each trait was analysed with animal as random effect to fit the additive direct effect. Additional random effects incorporated in the models were changed according to the trait examined. The best model for a trait was chosen based on a likelihood ratio test, comparing the models with and without maternal additive genetic and maternal permanent environmental effects. Heritability estimates of live-weight at hatch and one to six weeks of age with their standard errors were 0.22${\pm}$0.088, 0.39${\pm}$0.099, 0.31${\pm}$0.086, 0.38${\pm}$0.056, 0.46${\pm}$0.055, 0.50${\pm}$0.059, and 0.56${\pm}$0.062, respectively. Direct heritability value of age of sexual maturation was moderate (0.24${\pm}$0.055). The variances due to permanent environmental effect of dam after one week of age and maternal genetic effect after two weeks of age were not important sources of variation. The correlations between direct and maternal genetic effects were negative and ranged from high to moderate values (-0.21 to -0.83). Among the weekly live weights, genetic correlations were generally high between not only successive but also early and late weightings. It suggests that selection for final weight may be based on early weight records. Genetic correlations between age of sexual maturation and live weights were low, favourable but had high standard errors. These results indicate that selection for high weight will potentially result in lower age of sexual maturation only with accurate determination of breeding values.
