  • Anther derived double haploids (DHs) from sweet pepper genotypes ('Special', 'Derby', 'Bossanova', 'Fiesta', 'Debora' and 'Minipaprika') were used to study the agronomic variation in 2006. Ninety-nine successful DHs regenerants (32 from 'Special', 25 from 'Derby', 23 from 'Bossanova', 10 from 'Fiesta', 6 from 'Debora' and 3 from 'Minipaprika') were transplanted at plastic house and studied on their agronomic characters. Variation in agronomic characters was observed within the DHs of each genotype. DHs obtained from 'Derby' and 'Fiesta' exhibited wide variation in fruit yield $plant^{-1}$ whereas averaged fruit yield $plant^{-1}$ was highest in 'Derby' (1608 g) and less variation was observed in DHs of 'Bossanova'. Based on the agronomic characters expressed in DHs population at this environment, SP55, SP56, SP60, and SP116 from 'Special', SP8, SP10, SP14, SP16, and SP34 from 'Derby', SP115, SP119, SP142, SP143, SP196, and SP199 from 'Bossanova', SP41, SP45, and SP114 from 'Fiesta', SP21 from 'Debora' and SP91 from 'Minipaprika' identified as elite inbred lines and these DH lines could be used for commercial hybrids production in sweet pepper. Genetic relationship among the selected inbred lines using molecular markers and their response to diseases are further recommended to study.

  • Patients with disabilities are a significant segment of Korea population. However, they encounter more challenges when seeking dental care. So, dentists and students who are future dental providers should have a responsibility to provide oral care services for them. In this study, we hypothesize that the education of special care dentistry may influence positive attitudes of the disabled. The attitudes are influenced by demographic variables such as gender, religion, experience of volunteer activities and marital status. Therefore, the objective of this study was to explore the change of attitudes of students towards people with disabilities between before and after class of special care dentistry. 72 students enrolled at the Kyung Hee University were surveyed. All participants attended class of Special Care dentistry in the third grade. The survey was conducted two times, just before class and after class. The attitudes of students were assessed using the well-documented ATDP (Attitude Toward Disabled Person)-O(Original) scale and MAS (Multidimensional Attitudes Scales Toward Persons with Disabilities) scale through the methodology of questionnaires. The results indicated that gender, experience of volunteer activities and marital status did not affect their ATDP and MAS score. In religious affiliation, only, there were statistically significant difference in student attitudes between before and after class of Special care dentistry. It means that habitual religious activity may offer stronger effects on student's attitude than short-term education. Therefore, long-term and specific educational experiences are needed to promote positive attitudes for people with disability.

  • The limiting diffusion of special diploid model can be defined as a discrete generator for the rescaled Markov chain. Choi([2]) defined the operator of projection $S_t$ on limiting diffusion and new measure $dQ=S_tdP$. and showed the martingale property on this operator and measure. Let $P_{\rho}$ be the unique solution of the martingale problem for $\mathcal{L}_0$ starting at ${\rho}$ and ${\pi}_1,{\pi}_2,{\cdots},{\pi}_n$ the projection of $E^n$ on $x_1,x_2,{\cdots},x_n$. In this note we define $$dQ_{\rho}=S_tdP_{\rho}$$ and show that $Q_{\rho}$ solves the martingale problem for $\mathcal{L}_{\pi}$ starting at ${\rho}$.

  • Since the medical insurance covered the total population in Korea in July, 1989, the number of patient's visitation to the tertiary care hospital had changed because of referral regulation. In the referred patients through the secondary care hospitals such as out-patients of departments of internal medicine, general surgery, obstetrics and gynecology, pediatrics had decreased as well in-patients in these departments. However, departments of urology, dermatology, dentistry, ophthalmology and ear-nose-throat had more or less similar number of patients after medical insurance implemented for the total population. Contrarily, the number of patients visited emergency clinics and department of family medicine had increased very many. Thus, expansion of emergency clinic department, new special clinic set-ups, establishment of family medicine department in each hospital etc are strongly recommend.

  • The purpose of this study was 1) to analize the female figures with potbelly in the nude of the 15th-l6th century, 2) to find out the historic event which made these figures appeared, and 3) to clarify the influence these figures on dress. The results were as follows: 1) There was a sudden decrease in population by the Black Death in the Middle of the fourth century, so supplement of labor was urgent demand at that imp. Childbirth was the only way of supplement of manpower. 2) Therefore, the figure of pregnant woman was regarded as the female figure ideal. The artists depicted this figure ideal in nude. 3) This female figure ideal changed the form of dress. Pillow, pad, and special undergarments were used to make potbelly.

  • The multi-disciplinary research project Strengthening Local Authorities in Risk Management (SLARIM), initiated by ITC, includes three case study cities in Asia. An important question is: what are the essential data for risk management and how to access such data. The role of common sources (e.g. census data), data derived from remote sensing (high-resolution satellite imagery, aerial photos), and data from close sensing (field observation, including mobile GIS) to acquire essential risk management data will be discussed. Special attention is given to the question of the minimum area and to disaggregating population data. A few examples are given of Kathmandu / Lalitpur, Nepal.

  • Background and Objectives: This study was undertaken to investigate the educational status in bilateral prelingual deaf children with a cochlear implant (CI), also known as early cochlear implantees (CIs). Type of schooling and enrollment rate of tertiary education were analyzed as primary results. Subjects and Methods: Participants in this study comprised a highly homogeneous group of deaf patients who underwent cochlear implantation at a similar age. Sixty-four Korean patients were enrolled. Statistical data for disabled populations and the general population were obtained from the National Statistics Korea. Results: Among 64 patients, 46, 8, and 10 attended mainstream, integrated, and special schools, respectively. Notably, there was a significant difference in the type of school between hearing-impaired and CI groups (p=0.007). Ten of 13 patients enrolled in tertiary education. Conclusions: CI users were more likely than hearing impaired students to attend mainstream school. The enrollment rate of CI users in tertiary education was the same as that of the general population.

  • Recently in Korea, the percentage of the population that is elderly has been increasing rapidly because of lower national birthrates, improvements of medical technologies and techniques, and improved diet. The trend toward an aging population has exceeded the capabilities of the existent Korean welfare system and has caused economic problems such as a lack of new jobs. The government's policies in welfare and infrastructure are insufficient. The fire-fighting administration provides special services for the elderly, including "silver ambulances." In addition, using modem technology, the administration is working on emergency contact devices for the elderly in case of accidents. The aim of this paper is to analyze the services provided for the elderly and to examine improved solutions for the fire-fighting administration.

  • Discrete mathematics allows students to examine and explore unique, special problem situations which were not used to solve problems by paper-and-pencil procedures or applying common formulas. The use and integration of accessible computer-related technologies such as 'Mathematics' or 'Maple' software programs enables students to explore problem situation dramatically. This study shows that it is possible to introduce computer-based discrete mathematics focused on the Leslie matrix model as modeling age-specific population growth to high school students.
