Study Design: Single-center, observational, case-control study. Purpose: Comparison and analysis of the metabolic and coagulative profiles in patients with idiopathic scoliosis, patients with congenital scoliosis, and healthy controls. Overview of Literature: Serum melatonin deficiency has been a controversial topic in the etiopathogenesis of scoliosis. Low bone mineral density, low vitamin D3 levels, and high parathyroid hormone levels are common metabolic abnormalities associated with scoliosis that may be responsible for its pathogenesis. In addition to metabolic defects, several studies have shown coagulation defects that either persist from the preoperative period or occur during surgery and usually lead to more than the expected amount of blood loss in patients undergoing deformity correction for scoliosis. Methods: The study population (n=73) was classified into those having congenital scoliosis (n=31), those with idiopathic scoliosis (n=30), and healthy controls (n=12). After detailed clinicoradiological evaluation of all the subjects, 10-mL blood samples were collected, measured, and analyzed for various metabolic and coagulation parameters. Results: The mean serum melatonin levels in patients with idiopathic scoliosis were significantly lower than those in the healthy controls. Although the mean serum melatonin level in the congenital group was also low, the difference was not statistically significant. Serum alkaline phosphatase and parathyroid hormone levels were higher in the scoliosis groups, whereas the vitamin D level was lower. No differences were observed in the coagulation profiles of the different groups. Conclusions: Low serum melatonin levels associated with scoliosis can be a cause or an effect of scoliosis. Moreover, low bone mineral density, high bone turn over, and negative calcium balance appear to play an important role in the progression, if not the onset, of the deformity.

This study analyzes the meaning of madness shown in the female narrative, focusing on two novels- "Before the Operation" by Mei Niang and "Madman's Diary" by Baek Shin-Ae. The novel "Before the Operation" reveals women's instinctive desires through an insane woman and brings up a problem of unfair suppression caused by patriarchism. On the other hand, the heroine of "Madman's Diary" shows madness when she is at a crisis to be 'the other' in the patriarchal system. Her madness is caused because she fails to find the meaning of her presence in the system. Interestingly, a woman who departs from moral standards of patriarchy (from "Before the Operation") becomes thefocus of public censure while a man (from "Madman's Diary") who also ignores those standards seems to be a victim. In "Madman's Diary", the man's wife is accused of being mad while he draws sympathy as a victim. This shows that those moral standards have duplicity. At this point, the heroines who continuously adjust themselves to the system express their madness. In other words, the madness implies a stern protest against the moral standards applied differently to men and women. It is unique that the two heroines of the novels become 'sane' when they encounter thematter of 'being a mother'. When it comes to "Madman's Diary", 'being a mother' of the insane woman who becomes 'the other' in the system foretells dismal future. Meanwhile, Mei Niang indicates the way- 'being a mother'- to overcome the dismal future through "Before the Operation". In this case, the mother is not a figure that reproduces the patriarchal power structure, but an independent figure who wants to change it. For that reason, 'being a mother' has the meaning of subversion and resistance.

This thesis seeks to compare China's Jing-ju and Japan's Kabuki for their common aspects and differences and examine how they are performed on the stage. Jing-ju is often called as Beijing Opera to refer to a musical play completed during the mid-Ching era and developed around Beijing. Jing-ju is composite arts of music, dance and play which are remarkable in its strict patterns in move along with luxurious costume and heavy make-up. Kabuki which was developed during the Edo-period, is expressional arts also structured with music, dance and play coupled with extravagant costume as well as even more strictly controlled move and emphasis on the beauty of form. The two plays seem very similar to each other in their time setting to gain popularity or features of play. It may look obvious that Jing-ju which had developed earlier than Kabuki, affected the latter's formation. However, general social practices or cultural trends in China and Japan at the time of their development also influenced literature and arts thus affecting play contents and performance expressions. Although the two plays have similar stage structure, they developed in different ways with detailed differences and actors' performance on the stage, way of using a stage and other ways of directing play are largely distinctive from each other. If a play's primary goal is to gain recognition of audience and draw their positive response, the relationship between play and stage becomes essential. With this understanding, this thesis aims to identify where such similarities and differences between the two plays are from by comparing historical background, stage structural development and directing manner development at a basic level.

The maritime industry has emerged as a new growth engine. The municipalities that own the port are trying to add value through the maritime industry. Overseas port cities are also creating maritime industrial clusters to generate profits and strengthen competitiveness. Therefore, it is very important to understand the comparative status of the domestic maritime industry by region. Based on this analysis, it is possible to establish maritime industrial clusters and strategies for integration. This study analyzed the structure of the maritime industry located in Jeollanamdo province, the southwestern part of Korea. Through the analysis of existing literature, the maritime industry was reclassified into 5 major categories, 21 subcategories, and 84 subcategories. Based on the reclassified maritime industry, the analysis of the Jeollanamdo province maritime industry was based on applying the location quotient and the shift-share analysis. As a result of analyzing the geographical location of Jeollanamdo province, other industries showed the highest value of 2.790, followed by fisheries (2.227), shipbuilding industry (1.164) and marine tourism industry (0.554). The growth effect of the maritime industry in Jeollanamdo province was 35,323 people, and net growth effect excluding national growth effect was 11,945 people. In particular, the net growth effect of the shipbuilding industry was the highest at 11,320, followed by shipping logistics (6,371) and marine tourism (1,529). On the other hand, there was no net growth effect in fisheries. The results of this study can be used as basic data for the construction of the maritime industrial cluster for Jellanamdo province in the future.

Telometer is a supplementary filming device that improves the image quality and minimizes the motion unsharpness by enhancing the reproducibility of diagnostic images because it applies constant pressure (force) to the affected area. The stress-radiogram which is widely used to provide the o-bjective quantitative stability of knee ligament is reported in literature as the most suitable method to evaluate the stability of ligament and it is advised to use the Telometer. In order to evaluate the image reproducibility of the Telometer, the collateral ligament which is the most vulnerable among the ligaments consisting of the knee joint, the stress-radiogram was executed in the order of the Telometer, the push pull gauge and the conventional stress radiogram. Then, SPSS (Statistical Package for the Social Science) for Windows 22.0 was used for comparison and evaluation. According to the results of comparison and evaluation, the standard errors and standard deviations became smaller in the order of the Telometer, the push pull gauge, the conventional stress radiogram while the image reproducibility was higher in the order of the Telometer, the push pull gauge, the conventional stress radiogram. Therefore, it is considered that the use of the TELOS for stress-radiogram would enhance the quality of patient diagnostic images and the work performance of radiologists.

Objective : Endovascular treatment (EVT) outcomes for acute M2 segment of middle cerebral artery occlusion remains unclear because most results are obtained from patients with large artery occlusion in the anterior circulation. The objective of this study was to assess procedural outcomes for acute M2 occlusion and compare outcomes according to thrombus location (M1 vs. M2). Methods : A systematic review was performed for online literature published from January 2004 to December 2016. Primary outcome was successful recanalization rate and symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage (S-ICH) after the procedure. A fixed effect model was used if heterogeneity was less than 50%. Results : Eight articles were included. EVT showed successful recanalization rate of 69.1% (95% confidence interval [CI], 54.9-80.4%) and S-ICH rate of 6.1% (95% CI, 4.5-8.3%). The rates of good clinical outcome at 3 months and mortality were 59.4% (95% CI, 49.9-68.2%) and 14.9% (95% CI, 11.4-19.3%), respectively. According to thrombus location (M1 vs. M2), successful recanalization (odds ratio [OR], 1.539; 95% CI, 0.293-8.092; p=0.610) and S-ICH (OR, 1.313; 95% CI, 0.603-2.861; p=0.493) did not differ significantly. Good clinical outcome was more evident in M2 occlusion after EVT than that in M1 occlusion (OR, 1.639; 95% CI, 1.135-2.368; p=0.008). However, mortality did not differ significantly according to thrombus location (OR, 0.788; 95% CI, 0.486-1.276; p=0.332). Conclusion : EVT seems to be technically feasible for acute M2 occlusion. Direct comparative studies between EVT and medical treatment are needed further to find specific beneficiary group after EVT in patient with M2 occlusion.

사면 구조물은 시간이 경과함에 따라 대상지반에서 각종 열화 현상이 진행되어 내구성의 저하로 인한 붕괴가 발생할 수 있으며, 사용 연한을 감소시키는 결과를 초래하게 된다. 이러한 지반 열화에 따른 사면안정에 대한 접근방안은 지반의 물리적 특성 및 기하학적인 구조에 국한하여 분석하는 기존의 한계 평형 해석과는 또 다른 개념이라 할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 사면의 열화 특성과 관련하여 각종 문헌 조사를 통하여 비교분석을 수행하고, 전단강도 저감에 대한 최적의 제안식들로서 지수함수, 로그함수 및 역쌍곡선 함수를 제시하고, 열화에 취약한 양산 단층대의 셰일층에서 붕괴가 발생한 경부고속철도 절토사면을 대상으로 사례분석을 실시하였다. 본 연구에서는 사례분석을 통하여 향후 열화로 인한 사면 안전성과 관련하여 정량적인 평가를 위한 최적의 강도 저하 곡선을 도출하고 한계평형해석에 의한 안정해석을 할 수 있는 접근 방법을 제시하였다.

본 연구는 국립대학 통폐합을 과감하게 추진한 핀란드와 노르웨이의 정책 사례를 비교 분석하여 우리나라의 국립대 구조개혁에 필요한 시사점을 도출하기 위해서 수행되었다. 이를 위해 다양한 온라인/오프라인 문헌 자료들을 토대로 양국의 대학 통폐합의 추진 배경과 전략, 성과 등을 분석하였다. 분석 결과, 양국은 국립대간의 상보성 강화, 특성화 분야 발굴, 대학운영의 효율성 제고 등을 위해 국립대 통폐합을 과감하게 추진한 공통점이 있는 반면에, 추진전략 면에서는 차이가 있었다. 핀란드는 국립대학의 자율적 운영과 책무성 강화를 위해 법인화를 대대적으로 추진한 후 '대학 자율성 기반'의 통폐합을 진행하고 성과기반 재정지원을 통해서 그 효과를 강화해온 반면에, 노르웨이는 초기에는 정부주도형으로 국립대 통폐합을 추진하였으나, 대학들의 반발에 부딪히면서 자율적 통폐합으로 선회하였다. 양국 사례는 대학 수 및 입학정원 감축 등과 같은 '고등교육 규모의 양적 축소' 보다는 '고등교육의 경쟁력 및 질 향상'이 국립대 통폐합의 궁극적인 목적이 되어야 하며, 이를 위한 선결요건(대학운영의 자율성 보장, 거버넌스 개혁, 재정지원방식 혁신 등)이 충족되어야 통폐합의 취지가 제대로 살아날 수 있음을 시사한다.
