This study aimed to quantify associations of the human development inequality (HDI) index with incidence, mortality, and mortality to incidence ratios for eight common cancers among different countries. In this ecological study, data about incidence and mortality rates of cancers was obtained from the Global Cancer Project for 169 countries. HDI indices for the same countries was obtained from the United Nations Development Program (UNDP) database. The concentration index was defined as the covariance between cumulative percentage of cancer indicators (incidence, mortality and mortality to incidence ratio) and the cumulative percentage of economic indicators (country economic rank). Results indicated that incidences of cancers of liver, cervix and esophagus were mainly concentrated in countries with a low HDI index while cancers of lung, breast, colorectum, prostate and stomach were concentrated mainly in countries with a high HDI index. The same pattern was observed for mortality from cancer except for prostate cancer that was more concentrated in countries with a low HDI index. Higher MIRs for all cancers were more concentrated in countries with a low HDI index. It was concluded that patterns of cancer occurrence correlate with care disparities at the country level.

The effect of polymeric diphenyl methane-4,4-diisocyanate (pMDI) or 1,6-hexamethylene diisocyanate (HDI) in the UMF resin was discussed for improvement of the dry and wet shear strengths of plywood manufactured from high moisture content veneers. The curing behavior of UMF resin by pMDI or HDI content was examined by DSC and TGA, and its adhesion performance was evaluated by dry and wet shear strength tests of plywood. With the increase of pMDI content in the UMF resin, the curing temperature, reaction enthalpy (${\Delta}H$), and thermal stability consistently increased. With the increase of HDI content in the UMF resin, however, the curing temperature and reaction enthalpy (${\Delta}H$) decreased consistently and the thermal stability slightly increased in the range of 200 to $400^{\circ}C$ but decreased beyond $400^{\circ}C$. Also, the dry tensile shear strength increased up to the pMDI content of 5% and then decreased with its further addition but the wet tensile shear strength showed slight tendency to increase with the increase of pMDI content in the UMF resin. As the HDI content increased, however, the dry and wet tensile shear strengths of plywood consistently increased.

차량수리작업장에 일반적으로 사용하고 있는 HDI의 노출은 직업성 천식을 발생시키는 주요 원인이 된다. 비록 피부나 눈의 오염이 흡수경로로 고려되고 있음에도 불구하고 이들의 폭로에 관한 작업장의 노출허용 기준이 규정되어 있지 않으므로 많은 실험 자료들이 제공되어져야 한다. 따라서 이 연구는 피부, 눈 그리고 호흡보호구와 눈보호구의 표면에 대한 HDI의 오염정도를 확인하였으며, 손잡이, 작업대 그리고 분사건과 같이 다양한 오염표면이 있다는 것도 명확히 하였다. 상대적으로 짧은 시간의 분사임에도 불구하고 목, 이마, 손등, 팔과 손목 등에서 채취한 시료의 많은 부분(47~80%)이 HDI오염에 양성이었다. 분사실 내부에서의 오염정도는 좋지 못한 작업여건이나 보호경과 같은 부적절한 개인보호구 때문에 분사실 외부의 오염정도보다 일반적으로 높다. 경험이 있는 페인트 공보다 초보자들의 폭로수준이 높은 것은 안전이나 보건의식의 결여 때문인 것으로 사료되고, 보호구내부의 오염 정도는 호흡기관, 피부 및 눈의 잠재적인 노출을 야기할 것이다. 작업자 14명중에서 4명의 눈물시료로부터 HDI양성반응을 보였으며, 이것은 부적절한 눈 보호구에 의한 것으로 나타났다. 호흡기의 과민반응을 포함한 건강징후에 관여되는 피부와 눈의 노출 잠재성을 고려해볼 때 실질적 자료는 작업자들의 근무여건개선, 적절한 보호구의 선택과 사용 그리고 관리의 중요성을 잘 보여 주고 있다.

현대의 반도체 산업에서 공정 중 가장 큰 비중을 차지하며, 가장 많은 자본과 인력을 소비하는 것이 바로 세정 공정이다. 세정공정은 소자의 작동에 영향을 미치고 기능을 저하시킬 수 있는 이물질 입자들을 제거하는 것이다. 특히 소자를 식각하기 위한 Photoresist(PR) 과정이 끝날 때마다 항상 세정 과정이 포함되어야 했다. 또한, Photoresist(PR) 공정 중 생성된 HDI-PR(high dose implanted photoresist)은 세정 과정에서 제거가 힘들기 때문에 현대의 고밀도 집적회로 세정 공정에서는 건식 세정과 습식 세정을 혼용하여 여러 단계의 세정 공정을 거치게 된다. 이 논문에서는 기존 플라즈마 방식으로 대표되는 건식 세정과 약액으로 대표되는 습식 세정을 동시에 사용하는 방식을 사용하여 약액활성화 방법(Plasma Liquid-Vapor Activation; PLVA)을 제안하여 실험을 실시하였고 HDI-PR을 활성화된 용액에 담근 후 Nano-Indenter를 이용하여 표면강도와 탄성계수를 측정했다. Nano-indenter는 특정한 기하학적 형태를 가지는 Tip을 표면에 압입한 후 압입하중과 압입깊이를 측정함으로서 시료의 표면강도와 탄성계수를 측정하였다. 그 결과 plasma로 활성화된 PR stripper 용액으로 strip한 후의 시료의 표면 강도가 크게 줄어든 것을 확인하였다. 이는 이후 물리적 표면 세정 공정을 후 공정으로 사용한다면 보다 효율적인 HDI-PR을 제거할 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

Background: Over the past decade, bladder cancer was associated with a significant increase. Given the importance of the impact of socioeconomic status on the distribution of cancer incidence and mortality, and the need to information on these parameters for prevention planning, the aim of this study was to evaluate data for bladder cancer and their relationship with human development index (HDI) and its components in Asia in 2012. Materials and Methods: The study was conducted based on data from the world data of cancer and the World Bank (including the HDI and its components). The incidence and mortality rates were drawn for Asian countries. To analyze data, correlation tests between incidence and death rates, and HDI and its components were employed with a significance level of 0.05 using SPSS software. Results: A total incidence of 696,231 cases (68.7% in males and 31.3% in females, sex ratio of 2.19:1) and 524,465 deaths (67.0% in men and 32.9% in women, sex ratio was 2.03:1) were recorded in Asian countries in 2012. Correlation between HDI and standardized incidence rate was 0.241 overall (p=0.106), 0.236 in men (p=0.114) and -0.250 in women (p=0.094). Also between HDI and standardized mortality rate 0.025 (p=0.871) in men 0.118 (p=0.903) and in women 0.014 (p=0.927). Conclusions: Bladder cancer incidence is higher in developed countries, but the rate is declining, and in less developed and developing countries it is growing. There was no statistically significant correlation between the standardized incidence rate of bladder cancer and the HDI and its dimensions in Asia, except for the level of education.

Objectives: The objective of this study was to propose the total isocyanate analytical method which involves derivation of 2,4-toluene diisocyanate(2,4-TDI), 2,6-toluene diisocyanate(2,6-TDI), 4,4'-methylenediphenyl diisocyanate(4,4'-MDI) and 1,6-hexamethylene diisocyanate(1,6-HDI) using 2-chlorobenzyl alcohol(2-CBA) or 2,4-dichlorobenzyl alcohol(2,4-DCBA), and analyzing of hydrolysate of the synthesized urethane with the gas chromatography(GC)/flame ionization detector(FID), GC/pulsed discharge ionization detector-electron capture detector(PD-ECD) and GC/mass selective detector(MSD). Methods: Urethanes were synthesized by reacting 2,4-TDI, 2,6-TDI, 4,4'-MDI and 1,6-HDI to 2-CBA or 2,4-DCBA. Urethanes was verified by TLC, HPLC/UVD and GC/MSD. For field application, the most suitable condition that 2-CBA coated in glass fiber filter removed completely and urethanes were not removed was searched. 2-CBA generated from hydrolysis of urethanes according to hydrolysis conditions. Diisocyanates were collected on field air and analyzed. Results: Urethanes which were white and solid phase synthesized by reacting 2,4-TDI, 2,6-TDI, 4,4'-MDI, 1,6-HDI and 2-CBA or 2,4-DCBA. And urethanes were verified by TLC, HPLC/UVD and GC/MSD. The most suitable conditions to remove 2-CBA coated in glass fiber filter were $87^{\circ}C$ and 20 mmHg and urethanes were not removed under same condition. Hydrolysis yields of urethanes were 99 % to 111 %. 2-CBA, the hydrolysate of urethanes was analyzed by GC/FID, GC/PD-ECD and GC/MSD. Conclusions: Simultaneous analysis of 2,4-TDI, 2,6-TDI, 4,4'-MDI and 1,6-HDI deriving with 2-CBA and 2,4-DCBA, along with a total isocyanate analysis, was feasible with GC/FID, GC/PD-ECD and GC/MSD. This result will be a guide of further study on total isocyanate analysis.

Multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) are covalently functionalized with isocyanates by directly reacting commercial hydroxyl functionalized MWCNTs with excess 4,4'-methylenebis (phenyl isocyanate) (MDI) and hexamethylene diiosocyanate (HDI). HDI-modified MWCNTs results in a higher surface isocyanate density than MDI-modified MWCNTs. Anionic ring-opening polymerization of ε-caprolactam is conducted using a sodium caprolactam initiator in combination with a di-functional hexamethylene-1,6-dicarbamoylcaprolactam activator in the presence of isocyanate functionalized MWCNTs. This polymerization proceeds in a highly efficient manner at relatively low reaction temperature (150℃) and short reaction times (10 min). During the polymerization, the isocyanate functionalized MWCNTs act not only as reinforcing fillers but also as second activators. Nanocomposites with HDI modified MWCNTs exhibit higher reinforcement and faster isothermal crystallization than MDI modified MWCNTs. The results show that PA6 chains grow more effectively from HDI modified MWCNT surface than from MDI modified MWCNT surface, resulting in stronger interaction between PA6 and MWCNTs.

Studies of oxaliplatin, 5-fluorouracil and leucovorin in pretreated metastatic colorectal cancer showed that oxaliplatin dose intensity is important prognostic factor for objective response rates and progression-free-survival (PFS). To evaluate response rates, PFS and toxicity according to oxaliplatin dose intensity, we retrospectively analyzed data from patients with metastatic colorectal cancer received oxaliplatin,5-fluorouracil, leucovorin regimens. Sixty-three patients were reviewed in this study, 42 patients received low dose intensity oxaliplatin (LDI: $\leq85\;mg/m^2/2wks$) and 21 patients high dose intensity oxaliplatin (HDI: $>85\;mg/m^2/2wks$). Objective responses occurred in 10 $(47.7\%)$ HDI patients and 9 $(21.4\%)$ LDI patients (p = 0.014). Median PFS was 24.7 weeks in HDI group, with $45.1\%$ of HDI patients progression free at 6 months, and 20.5 weeks in LDI group, with $33.5\%$ of LDI patients progression free at 6 months (p = 0.344). Increased oxaliplatin dose intensity was not associated with neutropenia, thrombocytopenia, neuropathy, nausea and vomiting. This study showed that oxaliplatin dose intensification significantly improves objective response rate in pretreated metastatic colorectal cancer without increasing severe toxicity.

Purpose - The propose of this study is to examine the effect of human development index on mobile telephony diffusion. Design/methodology/approach - This study fits the modidensity of South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation (SAARC) member countries with an econometric Gompertz growth model. The diffusion factors, including the human development index (HDI), gross domestic product (nominal) per capita, fixed-line telephony subscription, and population data of each member country from 2005 to 2018 are considered for the empirical experiment. Furthermore, the mobidensity of randomly sampled countries with very high human development scores (the Republic of Korea, Switzerland and Norway) and high development scores (Brazil and Costa Rica) have been examined with the same process as SAARC members. Findings - We have found a positive but insignificant relationship between the HDI value and mobile telephony diffusion in Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, and Pakistan; a positive and statistically significant relationship at a 99% confidence level in SriLanka; and a negative and insignificant relationship in the Maldives and Nepal. HDI has both positive and negative effects on mobile telephony diffusion, with the nature of effect depending on the profiles of each country. HDI is a diffusion determinant of mobile telephony only for the high human development country groups. Research implications or Originality - This study provides a reference for policymakers, telecommunication stakeholders, and future researchers to design the telecommunication policies and strategies.
