The Pap smear test is recommended for early diagnosis of cervical cancer. The aim of this study was to assess knowledge and behavior regarding the Pap smear test based on the Health Belief Model (HBM) in women referred to premarital counseling classes, Hamadan, Iran. This quasi-experimental study was conducted on 330 women, who were allocated randomly to two case and control groups (n=165). Two educational session classes were performed in the case group. Two stages in before and after intervention groups were evaluated. Analysis of data was performed by SPSS/16.0, using t-test, $x^2$, and McNemar's test. P-values <0.05 were regarded as significant. There was no significant difference between the mean scores of the various structures of this model in two groups before the intervention. However, after the intervention there were significant increase in mean score of knowledge and all variables of HBM in the intervention group(P<0.001). The findings of this study highlight the important role of education about cervical cancer on changing women's beliefs about cervical screening.

본 논문에서는 가상 상황속의 사건들에 역사적 맥락을 부여하기 위한 통합적 직관적 정보표현구조로서 시공간 그래프(Spatio-Temporal Graph)를 설계하고 구현하였다. 일반적으로 사건은 공간뿐 아니라 시간을 점유함으로써 역사적 사실이 된다. 따라서 가상 상황을 시뮬레이션하기 위해서는 공간적 측면을 표현하기 위한 삼차원 정보구조에 시간적 측면을 더한 다차원적인 맥락에 사건들을 위치시키는 일이 핵심적 기초가 된다. 이러한 다차원적 맥락은 온톨로지 뷰, 인스턴스 뷰, 시공간 뷰, 실제 뷰 등과 같은 여러 수준에서의 통합적 직관적 지식표현수단들을 통해 구현된다. 이와 같이 구현된 시공간 그래프에 기반한 시뮬레이션 시스템에 예제 시나리오를 적용하여 실용성을 검증한다. 본 기술은 지능형 교육시스템이나 차세대 시뮬레이션 게임 등에 필수적인 다양한 상황들을 제공하는 시뮬레이션 시스템의 중심요소가 된다.

다차원척도법(MDS)은 지적 구조의 시각화를 위해서 오랫동안 사용되어 왔다. 그러나 MDS는 지적 구조를 시각적으로 표현하는데 있어서 세부 구조의 표현력이 취약하다는 약점을 가지고 있다. 이 연구에서는 상관계수 행렬의 가공 방식과 MDS 알고리즘을 조합한 여섯 가지 MDS 지도 작성 방식을 파악한 다음, 실제 지적 구조 데이터에 적용하여 비교해보았다. 실험 결과에서 가장 나쁜 방식으로 파악된 것은 가장 널리 사용되고 있는 방식으로서, 상관계수행렬로부터 유클리드 거리를 산출한 후 ALSCAL 알고리즘으로 MDS 지도를 작성하는 방식인 것으로 나타났다. 반면에 가장 좋은 방식은 상관계수를 z점수로 표준화하여 유클리드 거리를 산출한 후 PROXSCAL 알고리즘를 사용하는 방식이었다. 결론적으로 MDS 처리 과정을 주의깊게 구성한다면 더 구체적이고 명확한 지적 구조를 파악할 수 있음이 확인되었다.

온라인 커뮤니티에서 교환구조가 커뮤니티 결속력에 미치는 영향에 관한 연구는 매우 드물다. 더욱이 이 연구들은 서로 상충된 연구결과를 보고하고 있다. 본 연구는 이러한 연구결과를 재조명하기 위해 사회적 교환이론에 근거하여 커뮤니티 내 교환구조를 직접적 및 일반적 교환구조로 분류하고, 일반적 교환구조의 결정요인으로 지식의 분산도를 포함하였다. 그리고 상충된 연구결과를 설명하기 위해 교환혜택을 조절변수로 도입하였다. 본 연구는 네이버에서 활동하는 380개의 온라인 커뮤니티에서 데이터를 수집하여 분석하였다. 그 결과 지식의 분산도는 일반적 교환구조를 촉진하는 것으로 나타났다. 그리고 직접적, 일반적 교환구조 모두 커뮤니티 결속력에 긍정적 영향을 미치나, 이 관계는 교환혜택의 수준에 따라 조절되는 것으로 나타났다. 즉, 교환혜택이 높은 그룹에서는 일반적 교환구조가 직접적 교환구조보다 커뮤니티 결속력에 미치는 영향이 더 큰 반면, 교환혜택이 낮은 그룹에서는 두 교환구조의 영향력 사이에 통계적으로 유의미한 차이가 없는 것으로 나타났다.

This study aims to investigate the impacts on adolescents of the application of the education program for ethical consumption related to clothing in terms of their clothing-related ethical consumption consciousness, and in terms of their general ethical consumption knowledge and behaviors. Additionally, the effects of clothing-related ethical consumption consciousness and general ethical consumption knowledge on general ethical consumption behavior were examined. The program for education in ethical consumption related to clothing for adolescents was developed and applied, two surveys for the pre-post test design were conducted with high school female and male students, and a total of 158 responses were analyzed. The results of this study were as follows. 1) The results of the factor analysis and the reliability test on ethical consumption consciousness for high school students clearly showed factorial structures including Pro-environmentalism, Animal welfare, Social responsibility, and Recycling. 2) Analysis of the differences in the means of ethical consumption consciousness, knowledge, and behaviors of respondents between pre-test and post-test revealed that posttest means of all research variables after application of the education program were higher than pre-test means. 3) The ethical consumption knowledge had important medicating roles in the relationship between ethical consumption consciousness with regard to clothing and general ethical consumption behaviors. Overall, the study provides empirical evidence to support the notion that there is a need for applying an ethical consumption education program to lead adolescents to consume ethically.

Through extensive research, there exist a new type of connection between railway bridge girders and steel-concrete composite panels. In addition to conventional shear connectors, newly developed blind bolts have been recently adopted for retrofitting. However, the body of knowledge on their influence and application to railway structures has not been thoroughly investigated. This study has thus placed a particular emphasis on the application of blind bolts on the Sydney Harbour Bridge as a feasible alternative constituent of railway track upgrading. Finite element modeling has been used to simulate the behaviours of the precast steel-concrete panels with common types of bolt connection using commercially available package, ABAQUS. The steel-concrete composite track slabs have been designed in accordance with Australian Standards AS5100. These precast steel-concrete panels are then numerically retrofitted by three types of most practical bold connections: head studded shear connector, Ajax blind bolt and Lindapter hollow bolt. The influences of bolt connections on load and stress transfers and structural behaviour of the composite track slabs are highlighted in this paper. The numerical results exhibit that all three bolts can distribute stresses effectively and can be installed on the bridge girder. However, it is also found that Lindapter hollow bolts are superior in minimising structural responses of the composite track slabs to train loading.

Steel structures often require strengthening due to the increasing life loads, or repair caused by corrosion or fatigue cracking. Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymers (CFRP) is one of the materials used to strengthen steel structures. Most studies on strengthening steel structures have been carried out on steel beams and steel columns under centric compression load. No independent article, to the author's knowledge, has studied the effect of CFRP strengthening on steel columns under eccentric compression load, and it seems that there is a lack of understanding on behavior of CFRP strengthening on steel columns under eccentric compression load. However, this study explored the use of adhesively bonded CFRP flexible sheets on retrofitting square hollow section (SHS) steel columns under the eccentric compression load, using numerical investigations. Finite Element Method (FEM) was employed for modeling. To determine ultimate load of SHS steel columns, eight specimens with two types of section (Type A and B), strengthened using CFRP sheets, were analyzed under different coverage lengths, the number of layers, and the location of CFRP composites. Two specimens were analyzed without strengthening (control) to determine the increasing rate of the ultimate load in strengthened steel columns. ANSYS was used to analyze the SHS steel columns. The results showed that the CFRP composite had no similar effect on the slender and stocky SHS steel columns. The results also showed that the coverage length, the number of layers, and the location of CFRP composites were effective in increasing the ultimate load of the SHS steel columns.

The evaluation of pressure fields acting on slender structures under wind loads is currently performed in experimental aerodynamic tests. For wind-sensitive structures, in fact, the knowledge of global and local wind actions is crucial for design purpose. This paper considers a particular slender structure under wind excitation, representative of most common high-rise buildings, whose experimental wind field on in-scale model was measured in the CRIACIV boundary-layer wind tunnel (University of Florence) for several angles of attack of the wind. It is shown that an efficient reduced model to represent structural response can be obtained by coupling the classical structural modal projection with the so called blowing modes projection, obtained by decomposing the covariance or power spectral density (PSD) wind tensors. In particular, the elaboration of experimental data shows that the first few blowing modes can effectively represent the wind-field when eigenvectors of the PSD tensor are used, while a significantly larger number of blowing modes is required when the covariance wind tensor is used to decompose the wind field.

Masonry structures are the most common structural systems that have been used almost all over the world from the earliest ages of history to the present day. These structural systems are often unfavorably affected by natural disasters such as earthquakes. The main reason for this is that they are built without sufficient engineering knowledge. On January 24, 2020, a severe earthquake occurred near the Sivrice District of Elazığ in eastern Turkey. According to the Turkish Directorate of Disaster and Emergency Management (AFAD), the magnitude of the earthquake was 6.8 and the focal depth 8 km. This earthquake caused damage and destruction to the masonry structures used extensively in the region. The Hacı Yusuf Taş (new) mosque in the Malatya city center, located about 64 km from the epicenter of the earthquake, was among the buildings affected by the earthquake. The mosque has smooth-cut stone walls and domes made of brick units. The main dome of the structure was severely damaged during the earthquake. In this study, information about the earthquake is first provided, and the damage to the mosque is then interpreted via photographs. In addition, two separate finite element models were produced, where the current state of mosque and solution suggestions are presented, and response spectrum analyses were carried out. According to these analyses and field observations, a buttress system to the main walls of the structure should be constructed in the direction which has little lateral rigidity.
