Objectives: The purpose of this study is to investigate the difference in the effects of eye-mask and light-off on sleep status according to a commercial fitness tracker and a sleep diary of psychiatric in-patients in correctional facilities where nocturnal light is compulsory. Methods: This study was conducted over 3 consecutive nights. In-patients of the National Forensic Psychiatric Hospital (n = 29) were assigned random subject numbers and slept as usual in the light-on condition on the first night. The subjects slept with eye-masks in the light-on condition on another night and without an eye-mask in the light-off condition on the other night. Subjects were asked to sleep wearing a commercial fitness tracker and to keep a sleep diary. The order of these changes in bedroom lighting condition on the second and third nights was assigned randomly to participants. Results: In comparison of the sleep variables between the light-on condition and the eye-mask condition, the Wakefullness After Sleep Onset (WASO) was shorter and sleep satisfaction was higher in the latter.(respectively, Z = 3.66, p < 0.017 ; Z = 2.69, p < 0.017) In comparison of the sleep variables between the light-on and light-off conditions, the WASO was shorter and sleep efficiency and sleep satisfaction were higher in the latter (respectively, Z = 2.40, p < 0.017 ; Z = 3.02, p < 0.017 ; Z = 3.88, p < 0.017). However, there were no differences in the sleep variables between the eye-mask condition and the light-off condition. Conclusion: Subjective improvements in sleep variables were noted in sleep diaries of institutionalized psychiatric patients under either the 'eye-mask' or 'light-off' condition. However, there were no significant differences between the 'eye-mask' and 'light-off' conditions. Therefore, we suggest that psychiatric patients in correctional facilities use eye-masks when sleeping.

The purpose of this study was to examine the relationships between job stress, life satisfaction, burnout, and self-compassion. A survey was conducted in February 2018 for employees working at the Korea Legal Protection and Welfare Agency, and 213 data were included in the final analysis. A structural model was developed to examine the relationships between the variables used in this study, and the model-fit and mediating effects of the developed model were examined using SPSS and AMOS. For this study, the Korean occupational stress scale, life satisfaction scale, Maslach burnout inventory, and Korean self-compassion scale were used. We found that self-compassion is fully mediated between job stress and life satisfaction and between job stress and burnout. Also, life satisfaction is partially mediated between self-compassion and burnout. These results mean that self-compassion has significant effects on job stress, life satisfaction, and burnout. In particular, the mediating effect of self-compassion shows the vicious cycle of high job stress - low self-compassion - low life satisfaction - high burnout. Based on these results, the future implications of program development based on self-compassion strategies were discussed in order for workers in correctional facilities to decrease job stress and burnout and increase life satisfaction.

Purpose: To analyze the long-term stability of Farmer-type cylindrical ionization chambers by calibration factor provided from the KFDA (Korea Food Drug Administration) Materials and Methods: The cylindrical ionization chambers used in this study were the PTW 30001 (30006), 30013, 30002, 30004, 23333, the Capintec PR06C, the WE 2571, the Exradin A12 and the Wellhofer FC65G (IC70). We were analyzed that the $N_k$ and $N_{D.W}$ calibration factor for the cylindrical chambers and compared between the measured $N_{D.W}$ and calculated $N_{D.W}$ calibration factor. Results: We have observed that the long-term stability of the PTW 30013 (30006), the Wellhofer FC65G (IC70) and the NE 2571 has varied within 0.2%. The measured $N_{D,W}$ calibration factor was about 1.0% higher than the calculated $N_{D,W}$ that determined by the $N_k$ calibration factor. Conclusion: The study has evaluated that the long-term stability of the cylindrical chambers through analysis for the $N_k\;and\;N_{D,W}$ calibration factor. It has contributed to the improvement of clinical electron dosimetry in radiotherapy centers.

Acquired communicated fistula between the esophagus and respiratory system are infrequent and they are caused by carcinoma, trauma, infection and traction. This report reviews the feature of acquired esophagobronchial fistula[that developed spontaneously]. Patient is 34 year old man with excellent result by surgical intervention. The surgical procedures consist of division and repair of the fistula. Clinically and radiologically, the patient is free from coughing after drinking, substernal distress, esophagorespiratory fistula, and esophageal stricture after surgical treatment.

Spinning Rotor Gauge(SRG)를 전달표준기(transfer standard gauge)로 사용하여 한국표준과학연구원(KRISS)의 고진공표준과 이태리 표준연구소인 IMGC(Istituto 야 Metrologia Gustavo Colonnetti)고진공표준의 국제비교를 실시하였다. 그 방법은 SRG의 accommodation coefficient(s)를 각 연구실의 고진공표준기로 측정하여 그 결과를 비교하였다. 이 결과 두 기관에서 교정한 SRG 볼의 $\sigma$값의 평균차이는 0.696%로서 양국의 고진공표준은 오차범위내에서 일치하는 것으로 나타났다.

광도 측정의 기본단위인 칸델라 눈금을 확립하는 방법에는 흑체에서 방출되는 분광복사휘도를 기준으로 사용하는 광원 기반 방법과 극저온 절대 복사계(absolute cryogenic radiometer； ACR)로 부터 출발하여 실현하는 검출기 기반의 두 가지 방법이 사용된다. ACR를 사용하면서 검출기 기반 칸델라 눈금의 불확도가 흑체의 온도 측정 불확도로부터 전파되는 불확도 보다 휠씬 작기 때문에 각국의 국가 측정 표준 대표기관에서 검출기 기반 칸텔라 눈금을 실현하고, 교정이나 측정 서비스를 제공하고 있다. (중략)

A purpose of this study is to enhance the concern and cognition of people and to search for the effective approach on the control of crime arson which is increasing recently. To accomplish this purpose, it is important to organize three other factors, such as enforcement and strengthening of residents self defense system about fire, establishment of more complicated arson control system of the public agency, and strengthening the correction activity of arson psychologically. It is necessary to construct the cooperation system between community police and fire police and to enforce the friendship between residents and public agency.

Mutation consisted of abrupt and uncontrolled rises and falls in vocal pitch due to poor coordination of the laryngeal musculature associated with general bodily growth. The male voice drops about 10 semitones after mutation period but the female voice drops about 2 semitones. Symptoms of abnormal voice mutation are many variations in the voice. Sometimes the voice is a true falsetto, high and thin. The au thor experienced two male cases of prolonged mutation difficulty treated by pressure method. The result were excellent with simple maneuver. The author reported the result of treatment for two cases and reviewed the literatures.

The deformities of the auricle is rare and classified roughly into two categories as "Hyperplasia and Hypoplasia". Microtia occurs about once in every 6000 births and is twice as frequent in males as in females and the unilateral to bilateral ratio is roughly 8 : 1. Significant malformation of the auricle frequently involves the external auditory canal and the contents of the middle ear. Recently, the authors experienced a case of hypoplasia of the superior third of the right auricle of 24 year old male, with neither hearing impairment nor any other associated defect, who was surgically corrected by rotation flaps through post-auricular incision.
