Purpose: This study aimed to employ a Q-methodological approach that can understand the characteristics of each type according to the subjective structures of humans, to help understand type-specific characteristics and to provide a basis for creating the image of dental technicians among dental technology students based on the characteristics of each type. Methods: The Q-methodology was used for this study. 120 Q-statements were obtained from a qualitative survey of 120 students of the department of dental technology. To select the Q-sample, the Q-population was categorized by taking several repeated readings. The selected statements were reviewed and revised by experts and 33 Q-samples were finally selected. The data were then analyzed using the PQ method program. Results: Among 42 P specimens, 22 were classified into type 1, 9 types 2, and 11 types 3. "Type 1" recognizes the image of dental technicians positively and optimistically (Z=1.29) (Z=1.74), but it is named "self-development oriented" in the sense that steady self-development must be underpinned (Z=1.37). "Type 2" agreed strongly that they could work for a lifetime without age or gender discrimination (Z=2.09). This type was referred to as "professional-oriented" because the recognition of dental technicians is more focused on "professional." "Type 3" was tagged "pride-oriented," showing the strongest agreement that they can be proud of their job as healthcare workers (Z=1.08). Conclusion: Many studies on such an image should be carried out to determine the importance of occupational images and establish desirable status for dental technicians to continue developing.

GRB100205A is a Gamma Ray Burst (GRB) which is suspected to be at redshift z=11-13 due to its very red H-K color($(H-K)_{vega}=2.1{\pm}0.5$). We observed a field centered at GRB100205A with Wide Field Camera (WFCAM) at United Kingdom Infrared Telescope (UKIRT) in Hawaii, in order to search a quasar that could be located around the GRB. The images were obtained in J, H, and K filters covering a square area of $0.78deg^2$. Our J-, H-, and K-band data reach the depths of 22.5, 22.1, and 21.0 mag (Vega) at $5{\sigma}$, respectively. Also using z-band image observed by CFHT, we find 8 candidates that have colors consistent with a quasar at z=11-13(non-detection in z-, J-band and $(H-K)_{vega}$ > 1.6). However, the shallow depths of J-, H-band are not enough to verify their true nature. Instead, we identify many red objects to be old or dusty galaxies at $z{\geq}3$. The number density of such objects appears about twice or more than that of the field of Cosmological Evolution Survey (COSMOS) and Ultra Deep Survey (UDS) of UKIRT Infrared deep sky survey (UKIDSS). On scales between 0.18' and 15' the correlation function is well described by a power law with an exponent of ${\approx}-0.9$ and this implies that those objects are like galaxies. It is interesting that many red galaxies exist in the region where the GRB was detected.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to develop and evaluate a new-nurse education program utilizing both e-learning and instructor demonstration. Methods: From August to December in 2009, the e-learning education program about insulin injection was developed. The control (C) group was educated via instructor demonstration from April 15 to October 6 in 2009, and the experimental (E) group was educated via both e-learning and instructor demonstration from January 5 to October 13 in 2010. After each education, knowledge and educational effectiveness were checked. Results: Satisfaction with the education contents in the E group was significantly higher than those of the C group (Z=-3.72, p<.001), and satisfaction with the education method in the E group was higher than those of the C group (Z=-2.98, p=.003). Usefulness (Z=-3.33, p=.001), application (Z=-2.62, p=.009), and confidence (Z=-2.61, p=.009) in the E group were all higher than those of the C group. 78.9% in the E group reused the e-learning program after the experimental education. Conclusion: Combined educational program with e-learning and instructor demonstration had both merits of online efficiency and face-to-face education. It would be useful especially for new-nurses to improve their nursing skills in accomplishing their roles.

This study investigates the characteristics of evaluation measures for classification models on a binary response variable in order to evaluate their suitability for use. Six measures are considered: Accuracy, Sensitivity, Specificity, Precision, F-measure, and the Heidke's skill score (HSS). Evaluation measures are reformulated using x(ratio of actually 1), y(ratio predicted by 1), z(ratio of both actual and predicted by 1) from the confusion matrix. We suggest two necessary conditions to assess the suitability of the evaluation measures. The first condition is that the measure function is constant for x and y in the case of a random model. The second condition is that the measure function is increasing for z and decreasing for x and y. Since only HSS satisfies the two conditions, that is always appropriate as an evaluation measure for the classification model on the binary response variable, and the other measures should be used within a limited range.

Purpose: This study aimed to develop and evaluate the effectiveness of a preceptor educational program in a children's hospital. The program's impact was assessed by measuring improvements in clinical competency, communication competency, and leadership competency. Methods: Four day pediatric nurse preceptor education program was developed using the ADDIE (Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, and Evaluation) model. A single-group pretest-posttest design was employed to assess the program's effects with seventeen participants who were newly trained preceptors. Additionally, participant satisfaction with the program was measured. Results: Following the implementation of the program, significant improvements were observed in clinical competency (Z=-3.62, p<.001), communication competency (Z=-2.77, p=.006), leadership competency (Z=-2.08, p=.038), other competence (Z=-2.64, p=.008), and total competency (Z=-3.52, p<.001) among participants. The overall satisfaction score was 4.41±0.62 on a 5-point scale. Conclusion: The pediatric nurse preceptor educational program significantly enhances the overall nursing competencies of preceptor nurses in a children's hospital. Further research is needed to evaluate the effects of this preceptorship on newly graduated nurses.

β'-sialon(Z=2.7) specimens with <30%wt. graphite as a reducing agent were decomposed at 1350°up to 1,450℃ under the atmosphere of 90% N2-10%H2. The decomposition of β'-sialon was calculated from the change in Z-value, and the formation of new minerals was identified from X-ray diffraction patterns. The decomposition reactions of sialon were considered to yield a stable sialon close to β-silicon nitride and some aluminum compounds according to the following equations; β'-sialon(s)＋C(s)＋N2(g)→β2-sialon(metastable)＋β3-sialon(stalbe phase) β2-sialon(s)＋C(s)＋N2(g)→β3-sialon(s)＋AlN(s)＋α-Al2O3(s)＋15R(s)＋SiO(g)＋Al2O(g)＋CO(g) Z-value; β2( 3.5)>β'( 2.7)>β3( 0.5) The decomposition rate of sialon was controlled by two mechanisms ; One was characterized by the interface area of contact, corresponding to an apparent activation energy of 50.5Kcal/mol in the initial stage, and the other by the diffusion, corresponding to that of 104.3Kcal/mol in the final stage of the decomposition.

Antibacterial activities of these new cephalosporin derivatives and the relationship between their structures and activities were examined. Among them, 7-((Z)-2-(2-aminothiazol-4-yl)-2-(carboxymethoxyimino)acetamido)-3-[(4-carboxy-3-hydroxyisothiazol-5-yl)thiomethyl)-3-cephem-4-carboxylic acid 8 and 7-[(Z)-2-(2-aminothiazol-4-yl)-2-(l-carboxy-1-methylethoxyimino)acetamido]-3-[(4-carboxy-3-hydroxyisothiazol-5-yl)thiomethyl)-3-cephem-4-carboxylic acid 9 exhibited good antibacterial activities compared with those of cefotaxime and ceftriaxone.

A variety of ynamides undergo highly regio- and stereoselective radical addition of arenethiols with the aid of triethylborane as a radical initiator. The products, N-[(Z)-2-arylsulfanyl-1-alkenyl]amides, can be reduced with triethylsilane in trifluoroacetic acid to yield N-[2-(arylsulfanyl)alkyl]amides.

As a sequel to the papers [2, 3], we will complete our identification of the groups of units of the finite local rings $\mathbb{Z}_4$[X]/($X^k$ + 2t(X), $2X^{\gamma}$) which is the most general type of finite local rings with a single nilpotent generator over $\mathbb{Z}_4$.
