Purpose: The aim of this study was to investigatecomplementary therapiesprovided at hospice palliative care facilities in South Koreaas designated by the Ministry of Health and Welfare. Methods: The survey was conducted via e-mail from September 2 to September 23, 2020, with responsesfrom 109 therapists and 59 managers from 55 different hospice care facilities. Results: Hospices provided an average of 3.67 different types of therapies, ranging from 1 to 7 different types. The most common types of therapies were horticultural therapy (81.4%), music therapy (79.7%), art therapy (76.3%), and aromatherapy (57.6%). The average frequency of sessions was once a week, the median duration was 60 minutes. Most therapists (96.3%) had qualifications, but the certification-issuing organizations and training intensiveness varied greatly. None of the therapists were employed on a full-time basis, and their average monthly income was KRW 270,000. Therapists and managers gave average scores of 8.90 and 8.38 out of 10, respectively, regarding the positive impact of complementary therapies on patients. Conclusion: In order for patients and their families to benefit from complementary therapiesat hospice care facilities, in addition tobetter terms of employment for therapists, evidence-based guidelines for different types of therapies are needed so that therapy sessions can be conducted according to the theoretical underpinnings and characteristics of the type of therapy. It is expected that the results of this study will be used for policy-making in support of therapy as an essential hospice service.

Synopsis-The difficulties of immunological nonienclature are discussed, the term ALLERGY defined and the various types of HYPERSENSITIVITY reactions are listed and characterized. Evidence for the association of Type I and Type 11 hypersensitivity reactions with COSMETICS is discussed. A table of cosmetic ingredients which have been implicated as SENSITIZERS are given. PREDICTIVE PATCH TESTS for contact sensitizers on GUINEA-PIGS and man are evaluated. The difficulties of testing for ALLERGENS likely to produce Type I hypersensitivity are discussed. IN VITRO tests for sensitizers are mentioned. The failure of all standard tests in the detection of weak sensitizers is emphasized.asized.

The purpose of this paper is to propose a new type of NPI licensing context through French subjunctive and ne expletif. The distribution of NPIs on previous studies does not exactly correspond to negative function types. French subjunctive and ne expletif are good guidelines for reclassifying NPI licensing context. My classification is by a hierarchy of strength in negative force: overtly negative proposition > negative entailment > negative implicature. A new type of NPI licensing context is: (i) I-domain for negative implicature (ⅱ) E-domain for negative entailment and (ⅲ) overt negation.

We investigate the nonlinear motions of discrete loaded cable with different periodic forcing. We present the numerical evidence of the nonlinear motions of the cable by solving initial value problems and obtaining the motions after a long time. There appeared to be various types of nonlinear oscillations over a wide range of frequencies and amplitudes for the periodic forcing term.

We present a robust scheme of detecting obstacles such as vehicles, human beings, and other artificial structures that may cause serious traffic accidents in the nighttime driving. Obstacle regions are detected by the evidential reasoning rules that combine the isolated regions obtained by the phase-directed edge-linking and the hot evidence information. Preliminary experimental results show that the performance is robust to nighttime infrared scenes having various types of obstacles

Adenoviruses are icosahedral virions containing double-stranded linea DNA. They are 70 nm to 90 nm in diameter and capsid is composed of 252 capsomeres. Several members of this group, including types commonly associated with respiratory disease in man, are capable of producing malignant tumors in young hamsters and a few types have been shown to be oncogenic in young rat. Previous report involving effect of caffein on transformation induced by Adenovirus type 12 [9] has been carried out. The present report represents a continuation of previous study. To obtain evidence concerning the effect of MNNG (N-methyl-N'-nitro-N-nitroguanidine) on transformation, investigation of adenovirus type 12 of this group was undertaken. For practical consideration it was desirable to investigate the effect of MNNG on the adenovirus type 12 induced transformation in L cell. Results were as following 1. Adeno virus type 12 induced transformation was enhanced in the presence of MNNG. 2. Yields of adeno type 12 virus in L cell were slightly inhibited by treatment of MNNG.

As the demand of electric power is increasing rapidly, the need of the compact and light electric power device is also increased. Copper clad aluminum (CCA) is newly proposed electrical conductor, because of its light-weight and low-cost characteristics, to replace the existing conductor made of copper. This paper presents the salt-proof characteristics of the copper clad aluminum (CCA) to certificate long time safe operation of the newly proposed electrical conductor. The two types of the CCA conductor were tested in the neutral salt spray tester. The experimental results of two types of the CCA with salt spray were presented in this paper. The results comprise resistance measured data, micro picture of the selected surface, and component measured data according to the elapsed time. The period of the experiment was 1,000 hours. There was no evidence to show the corrosion of CCA during the whole period of the experiments.

Lactic acid bacteria (LAB) provide several potential health and nutritional benefits, including improving the nutritional value of food, controlling serum cholesterol levels, and controlling some types of cancer. Numerous in vitro, in vivo, human, and epidemiological studies have provided evidence of the chemopreventive effects of LAB on colon, bladder, liver, breast, and gastric cancers. These effects act via diverse mechanisms, including alteration of the gastrointestinal micro flora, enhancement of the host's immune response, and antioxidative and antiproliferative activities. This review discusses the recent progresses on the chemopreventive effects of LAB on specific cancer types and the underlying molecular mechanisms.

In many surveys, one of the most important goals is to obtain reliable and valid responses from respondents. To achieve the goal, a researcher have to make efforts to protect respondents' confidentiality and to reduce the effects of social desirability on answers. The key question of this paper is whether the position of demographic questions have an effect on responses. Two types of questionnaires are considered: one puts the demographic questions at the beginning and the other does at the last. On both types, I asked only a small number of demographic questions which are considered as essential on analytic purposes. The results show no evidence of position effects when the risk to threat confidentiality was minimized.

Hemodynamic shear stress, the frictional force acting on vascular endothelial cells, is crucial for endothelial homeostasis under normal physiological conditions. When discussing blood flow effects on various forms of endothelial (dys)function, one considers two flow patterns: steady laminar flow and disturbed flow because endothelial cells respond differently to these flow types both in vivo and in vitro. Laminar flow which exerts steady laminar shear stress is atheroprotective while disturbed flow creates an atheroprone environment. Emerging evidence has provided new insights into the cellular mechanisms of flowdependent regulation of vascular function that leads to cardiovascular events such as atherosclerosis, atherothrombosis, and myocardial infarction. In order to study effects of shear stress and different types of flow, various models have been used. In this review, we will summarize our current views on how disturbed flow-mediated signaling pathways are involved in the development of atherosclerosis.
