An eight-year-old intact male Beagle had anorexia, vomiting, depression for two days. The dog had hypoalbuminenia and mild azotemia on hematologic and clinical chemistry examinations. Severe proteinuria was identified on urinalysis. On abdominal ultrasonographs, there were small amount of ascites and bilateral renomegaly with severe hyperechoic renal cortex and hyperechoic medullary rim sign. Renal biopsy and histopathology revealed renal amyloidosis. The quality of life in this dog was satisfactory with aggressive supportive care for three months. Euthanasia was performed due to deteriorated azotemia and nephrotic syndrome.

본 연구에서는 새롭게 개발 중인 SSP 시나리오의 일단위 강수량과 온도 자료를 활용하여 청미천 유역의 미래 가뭄의 예측 및 분석을 실시하였다. SSP1-2.6, SSP2-4.5, SSP3-7.0, SSP5-8.5에 따른 새롭게 개발 중인 CMIP6 (Coupled Model Intercomparison Project) GCM (General Circulation Models) 중 ACCESS-ESM1.5(Australian Community Climate and Earth System Simulator model)를 이용하였다. GCM 자료는 Quantile Mapping 방법을 사용하여 편이보정 되었고, 유출분석은 SWAT(Soil and Water Assessment Tool) 모형을 사용하여 청미천 유역에 대해 수행하였다. 청미천 유역의 가뭄분석을 위해 기상학적 가뭄지수인 SPI(Standardized Precipitation Index)와 SPEI(Standardized Precipitation Evapotranspiration Index), 수문학적 가뭄지수인 SDI(Standardized Streamflow Index)를 산정하였다. 그 후, 시간에 따른 가뭄의 특성을 분석하기 위해 가까운 미래 (2025-2064)와 먼 미래 (2065-2100) 로 구분하여 분석을 진행하였다. 그 결과, 청미천 유역의 가뭄 발생은 SSP시나리오, 가뭄지수에 따라 차이점을 확인할 수 있었다. SSP 시나리오의 경우 SSP5-8.5에서 가장 심각한 가뭄이 발생하였다. 가뭄지수의 경우 강수만을 고려한 SPI는 먼 미래에 비해 가까운 미래에서 더욱 심각한 가뭄이 발생하였다. SDI의 경우 강수량의 변동이 일반적으로 하천의 흐름에 영향을 미치기에 SPI와 비슷한 양상을 나타내었다. SPEI의 경우 시간에 따른 기온상승으로 먼 미래에 심각한 가뭄이 발생하였다.

Product liability(PL) law imposes the liability on manufacturer or wholesaler when the product defects cause harm to consumers of the products or any other parties in their lives, bodies, or properties. In Korea, the law of product liability was enforced in July 2002. In this study the Product Liability Response System of chemical products was developed by using Failure Mode and Effect Analysis(FMEA). For a case study peformed for N,N-Dimethylethylamine. First, product information was gathered through Material Safety Data Sheet(MSDS)and which considered as an instruction manual of chemical product. And an effect caused by product defects is analyzed by FMEA to get Risk Priority Number(RPN) which is calculated by multiplying of severity, occurrence, and detection of the defects. Then hazard was estimated quantitatively by RPN.

Objectives : To examine emotional and psychological characteristics associated with suicide attempts in depressed patients. Methods : A sample of 37 inpatients diagnosed with major depressive disorder or depressive disorder NOS was divided into two groups : lifetime suicide attempters(N=15 ; 40.54%), non-attempters(N=22 ; 59.46%). Beck Depression Scale(BDI), Beck Anxiety Scale(BAI), Hamilton Depression Rating Scale(HDRS), Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale(HARS), and MMPI-2 were used to evaluate symptoms severity and psychological characteristics. Results : Suicide attempters scored higher on the BDI though there were no group differences on the HDRS and on the both anxiety scales. Also they showed higher scores on the F, Fb, Pa, RC1, DEP, HEA, PK, AAS among MMPI-2 subscales. Our findings suggest that suicide attempters among depressed patients undergo more severe subjective distress and difficulties in adjustment than non-attempters. Also they were more hostile to others and showed lower trust. Lastly, they showed more somatic complaints and substance related problems. Conclusion : The present study showed that suicide attempters among depressed patients have distinct emotional and psychological characteristics. MMPI-2 would be helpful to assess suicidal risk of depressed patients.

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the difference of cognitve function among patients with posttraumatic stress disorder according to severity of symptoms. Methods: The subjects were 90 psychiatric inpatients and outpatients with posttraumatic stress disorer(by DSM-IV criteria) after traffic accident. The severity of symptoms was assessed by MMPI subscales; depression, psychasthenia, schizophrenia. The impairment of cognitive function was assessed by Korean Wechsler Intelligence Scale(K-WAIS). Based on scores of the MMPI subscales, the patients were divided into high group(above 70 percentile) and low group(below 30 percentile). We estimated the difference of the K-WAIS score and subtest score in the low group and high group of the MMPI subscales by indedpendent t-test. Results: The scores of high group is significantly higher in the subtests of information, vocabulary, similarity, picture completion, and picture arrangement than the low group for psychasthenia subscale of MMPI. And the score of high group is significantly higher in full scale I.Q., verbal I.Q., performance I.Q., verbal subscales except digit span and simiarity, and performance subscales than low group for schiozphrenia subscale of MMPI. Conclusion: It was found cognitive function was more impaired in the group of PTSD with severe symptom compared to the group of PTSD with mild symptoms. We suggest that psychiatrist should consider various cognitive approaches as well as pharmacotherapy in the management of PTSD.

Modern people have abundant food and various forms of life compared to the past, but they have come to form an unhealthy diet, such as skipping breakfast and not eating in time in a busy life. When these eating habits are maintained for a long time, it leads to digestive trouble. The most easily occurring symptoms are called reflux esophagitis and dysphagia. Among them, dysphagia requires quick and accurate diagnosis as they develop into various forms of complications or are also identified as presymptoms of gastric and laryngeal cancers. The result of the diagnosis is still passively judged by the doctor and each of results are different depending on the doctor. The result of the diagnosis here means the severity. When they identify treatment or complications following the results of the diagnosis, the wrong diagnosis may lead to excessive or insufficient treatment. In this paper, to figure out the severity of dysphagia in the diagnosis of dysphagia, we studied the development of a program using the K-means algorithm in the processing of X-ray images for identifying residual food in epiglottic vallecula and pyriform sinus in the section leading to esophagus.

This study presents risk ranking by accident types at intersections, crosswalk and tunnel sections. An ordered logit model was used to estimate the accident severity of traffic accidents based on 58,868 accident records that have occurred on the Seoul and Gyeonggi-do over the period 2014-2017. The factors affecting the injury severity were identified by the estimated model first, and risk ranking was proposed according to conditions of accident occurrence using relative ratio analysis later. The analysis results showed that the injury severity dramatically depends on the location and time of the accident. The analysis results showed that the injury severity dramatically depends on the location and time of the accident. Furthermore, there are severe injury cases in terms of the injury severity despite the small number of occurrence of traffic accident, or there are severe injury cases in terms of the injury severity despite the high frequency of occurrence of traffic accident.

In this study, design of a small hybrid rocket is carried out using Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA) and Criticality Analysis(CA), which is a method for qualitative and semi-quantitative reliability analysis. In order to carry out FMEA, the structure of the hybrid rocket is divided into 31 parts and 72 potential failure modes. As a result of the FMEA, the relationship between potential failure modes, causes and effects, and their severity are evaluated qualitatively. Criticality analysis is followed for the failure modes, in which the criticality number is estimated using the failure rate information available from the handbook. Moreover, the failure modes with higher criticality and severity are chosen for improvement, and a series of design or material changes are made for the improvement of the hybrid rocket reliability.

The purpose of this study is to understand parent's influencing factors on life satisfaction of child with ADHD through path-analysis. 297 cases of children with ADHD and their caregiver were selected by children and adolescents psychiatric clinic and community mental health center in Korea as the research targets. ADHD symptoms of the children, nurturing stress, self-esteem and depression of the caregiver, and the children's life satisfaction were measured for every case. As a result, it was found that severity of ADHD symptoms lowered the children's life satisfaction through decline in parents' self-esteem, depression and nurturing stress. Based on these results, it is important to control child's ADHD symptoms in order to increase child's life satisfaction, but intensive intervention for caregiver should also be accompanied.
