This study explores the mobility patterns of Korean Early Study Aborad (ESA, hereafter) students in Singapore through a follow-up longitudinal case study, which was initially conducted about five years before this study. This study takes up transnational migration approach, focusing on family strategies and mobilization, which steered their mobility. Interviews with seven original families as well as 7 families additionally recruited in Singapore in 2012 were collected and analyzed by NVivo 9. In short, this study found that transnational mobility is composed of mobilities at global, regional and local levels. There were four types of mobilities; continuation of stay in Singapore, move from a third county to Singapore, return to Korea, and, what this research calls, fluid mobility. Examining the process of these mobilities shows that we need to consider at least three factors (performance of children's schooling; change of family circumstances; context of reception for both Singapore and Korea) as basic backgrounds. On this basis, the interplay between the context of receptions when aspirations for children's advancement by these transnational families made either facilitate or constrain their mobilities: contexts of Singapore and Korea may play a role of hurdle or trampoline. Also, local context of Singapore largely facilitate mobilities of Korean ESA families at both local and global levels.

Objectives : The purpose of this study is to investigate the treatments of Stomatitis in Korean medicine. Methods : We reviewed domestic journals through databases on RISS, KISS, OASIS, KISTI to search case reports and follow-up studies about 'Stomatitis' and '口瘡' using the terms with 'Korean medicine' or 'Korean medicine treatment'. Also, we used CNKI to find Randomized controlled trials(RCTs) from Chinese journals by using the term '口腔炎'. Results : A total of 16 articles were searched. Those of 7 are case report, 2 are follow-up study, 7 are RCTs. The way to treat stomatitis were through using herb medicine, acupuncture, electro-acupuncture, herbal acupuncture, external preparation, indirect moxibustion and so on. All papers reported that after Korean medicine treatment, symptoms of stomatitis are relieved. Conclusions : According to these journals, Korean medicine is helpful to treat Stomatitis. In the future, more clinical studies are needed to establish the foundation of Korean medicine to treat stomatitis.

Simultaneous and non simultaneous bilateral spontaneous pneumothorax patients[273] were reviewed retrospectively from April 1986 to March 1990 in the Dept. of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, Kyung Hee University Medical College. The incidence of bilateral spontaneous pneumothorax was 13.6%[37] and sexual distribution was male dominant [Male:33, Female:4]. The patients were classified into three major groups according to therapeutic methods: Group I [7]; who were treated with simultaneous bilateral operation for unilateral recurred spontaneous pneumothorax through median sternotomy. Mean age was 20.7 years[17 \ulcorner28] and follow up duration was 7.7 months [3 weeks \ulcorner2 years]. Group II [23];who were treated with staged lateral thoractomy, unilateral thoracotomy and non simultaneous contralateral closed thoracostomy, or simultaneous or non simultaneous bilateral closed thoracostomy. Mean age was 28.6 years [17 \ulcorner56] and follow up duration was 9.8 months[one week \ulcorner3.5 years]. Group III[10] ;who were treated with simultaneous bilateral operation for simultaneous or non simultaneous bilateral spontaneous pneumothorax through median sternotomy. Mean age was 21.4 years[17 \ulcorner28] and follow up duration was 12.8 months[2 weeks \ulcorner2.7 years]. Among the patients managed through median sternotomy simultaneously [Group I and III], there were visible blebs or bullous changed lesions mainly in the apicoposterior segment bilaterally in 15 patients[88.2%] Postoperative complications were 3 cases in Group II [wound infection:2 cases, temporary left wrist drop: one case] but none in Group I and III. Spontaneous pneumothorax recurred in 2 cases, one in Group II and another in Group III but none in Group I. 12 cases of 94 patients[12.8%o] who were treated with unilateral thoracotomy needed contralateral thoracotomy mean 14.9 months[7.5 \ulcorner 25 months] later. Mean age was 20.9 years [17 \ulcorner28]. In conclusion, simultaneous bilateral operation through median sternotomy should be considered in managements of spontaneous pneumothorax, especially in late teens and early twenties except young women for cosmetic reasons.

The purpose of this research was to analyze kinematic variables that appear during the instep shooting motion of female high school soccer players according to the angle of approach to find effective shooting motions. For this experiment, 5 female high school soccer players from the K city were participated in this study as the subject group, and as a through comparison and analysis of the resulting numbers of the variables, we came to the following conclusions. 1) Stride length and stride length/lower extremity length increased as the angle of approach increased. 2) As for C.O.G movement displacement, it was highest at an approach angle of $90^{\circ}$ during Right Foot Contact, at $135^{\circ}$ during Left Foot Contact, at $0^{\circ}$ during Rigth Toe Top, at $45^{\circ}$ during Impact, and at $0^{\circ}$ during Follow through. 3) The time required for each phase was longest at APP and shortest at BSP. The time required increased a little as the angle of approach increased, and the total time required also increased as the angle of approach increased. 4) The angle of the ankle joint was largest at an approach angle of $45^{\circ}$ for all events except Right Foot Contact. 5) The angle of the knee joint was largest at an approach angle of $135^{\circ}$ during Right Foot Contact, at $0^{\circ}$ during Left Foot Contact, at $45^{\circ}$ during Right Toe Top, at $135^{\circ}$ during Impact, and at $90^{\circ}$ during Follow through. 6) The angle of the hip joint was largest at an approach angle of $90^{\circ}$ during Right Foot Contact, at$0^{\circ}$ during Left Foot Contact, at $0^{\circ}$ during Right Toe Top, at $90^{\circ}$ during Impact, and at $0^{\circ}$ during Follow through.

From 1973 through June 1993, 25 patients underwent pulmonary resection for pulmonary metastases from carcinoma or sarcoma at our institution. There were 11 carcinomas and 14 sarcomas. 24 patients[96% complete] could follow-up and the median follow-up time was 20 months with a range of 4 months to 271 months and total follow-up period was 1105 months-patients. In our patients, actuarial 5-year survival rate was 49%, mean survival time was 66.6$\pm$12.6 months and median survival time was 84 months. Patients with sarcoma, more than 24 months of the tumor-free interval, postoperative adjuvant therapy had a better survival than did those with carcinoma, less than 24 months of the tumor-free interval, no postoperative adjuvant therapy. But there were no statistical differences between two groups[P>0.05]. This results recommend more aggressive surgical treatment for pulmonary metastases.

Recent observation of the neutron star merger event, GW170817, through both gravitational wave (GW) and electromagnetic wave (EM) observations opened a new way of exploring the universe, namely, multi-messenger astronomy (MMA). One of the keys to the success of MMA is a rapid identification of EM counterpart. We will introduce GW follow-up observation project in Korea for hunting GW EM counterpart rapidly and its strategy for prioritization of GW source host galaxy candidates. Our method relies on recent simulation results regarding plausible properties of GW source host galaxies and the low latency localization map from LIGO/Virgo. We will show a test result for both binary neutron star merger events using previous event and describe observing strategy with our facilities for GW events during the ongoing LIGO/Virgo O3 run. Finally, we report the results of optical/NIR follow-up observation of GW190425, the first neutron.

Purpose: The capsular contracture has been the most common complication of augmentation with breast implant, a side effect quite difficult to treat. The latest trends in the correction of capsular contracture include total capsulectomy or conversion of implant pocket. In this study, in an attempt to correct capsular contracture, the authors performed reoperation which involved capsulectomy through peri-areolar approach and dual-plane conversion. The authors hereby report the clinical results of such correction of capsular contracture and examine the efficacy. Methods: The authors selected 46 patients who were admitted to the clinic from January 2004 to January 2007 (37 months), and performed dual-plane conversion through solely peri-areolar approach. Two types of operation were done: dual-plane conversion from subglandular plane or from submuscular plane. Results: The average follow-up time after conversion to the dual-plane position was 10 months. During the follow-up period, 83.1% of patients recovered from capsular contracture and were Baker class I, and in 10.9% the condition had relapsed into Baker class II or III contracture. Conclusion: This study has proven the effectiveness of the dual-plane conversion operation for correcting established capsular contracture after previous augmentation mammaplasty. In this study, all cases of dual-plane conversion operation was performed through peri-areolar approach, which can prevent the occurrence of visible scar on inframammary fold.
