Objectives: This study was aimed at investigating the oral hygiene device use by cardiovascular disease patients and assessing related factors. Methods: We used data of 1,630 cardiovascular disease patients (including hypertension, stroke, and myocardial infarction) from the 7th Korean National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (2016-2018). The χ² test and logistic regression analysis were performed to analyze the oral hygiene device use by the subjects and assess related factors. All statistical analyses were performed with the IBM SPSS Statistics, version 20.0. Results: The oral hygiene device use and related factors were significantly higher in patients with an educational level of middle school or below high school, with a score of 1.85 (95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.35-2.53), or college, with a score of 1.93 (95% CI = 1.19-3.14), compared to those with an educational level below primary school. Further, the oral hygiene device use and related factors were significantly higher in patients who answered 'yes', with a score of 1.96 (95% CI = 1.42-2.73), compared to those who answered 'no' to the question on oral examination. Conclusions: More patients with cardiovascular disease did not use oral hygiene devices than those who did. It is necessary to expand the approach of preventive treatment to increase the utilization rate of oral hygiene devices.

To explore the relationships among frequencies for sets of alleles, within or between loci, is one of the first analyses in population genetic study. The general question is whether the frequency of a set of alleles is the same as the product of each of the separate allele frequencies. For two alleles of a single locus, Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium is tested and for an allele from each of two loci, linkage disequilibrium is tested. However, it is more useful if we can quantify and graphically represent this information. In this study, we suggest graphical methods to find associations between alleles. We also analyze the STR data of Korean population as an illustration.

All contemporary seismic Codes have adopted smooth design acceleration response spectra, which have derived by statistical analysis of many elastic response spectra of natural accelerograms. The above smooth design spectra are characterized by two main branches, an horizontal branch that is 2.5 times higher than the peak ground acceleration, and a declining parabolic branch. According to Eurocode EN/1998, the period range of the horizontal, flat branch is extended from 0.1 s, for rock soils, up to 0.8 s for softer ones. However, from many natural recorded accelerograms of important earthquakes, the real spectral amplification factor appears to be much higher than 2.5 and this means that the spectrum leads to an unsafe seismic design of the structures. This point is an issue open to question and it is the object of the present study. In the present paper, the spectral amplification factor of the smooth design acceleration spectra is re-calculated on the grounds of a known "reliability index" for a desired probability of exceedance. As a pilot scheme, the seismic area of Greece is chosen, as it is the most seismically hazardous area in Europe. The accelerograms of the 82 most important earthquakes, which have occurred in Greece during the last 38 years, are used. The soil categories are taken into account according to EN/1998. The results that have been concluded from these data are compared with the results obtained from other strong earthquakes reported in the World literature.

The purpose of this study is to analyse the job-satisfaction of police officer. The subjects of this study are selected by convenience sampling of random sampling method. The population is male and female incumbent police officers in Seoul and Gyeonggi province. The 347 cases are used to analyse the job-satisfaction among 400 police officers who answer the question. The Jod-Satisfaction Survey(Choi, 2001) are used for collecting data. In consequence of and 4 sub-factors(job-satisfaction) are found. Cronbach's alpha coefficient revealed $.058{\sim}.804,\;.846{\sim}.871$, respectively. For the statistical analysis, SPSS version 12.0 are utilized. The verification of research hypothesis are conducted by T-test, ANOVA, correlation, and multiple-regression. The significance level of all tests are set at .05. The findings of this study can be summarized as follows: Based on the demographic factors, the differences in life-style among police officers are identified. There is significant differences in gender and ages on individualism and accomplishment, in marital status on individualism and fashion-pursuing, and in income level on fashion-pursuing and accomplishment. There is also significant differences in education, religion, position and service period on accomplishment, individualism and fashion-pursuing.
