Background: Multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C) is a new hyperinflammatory variant that evolved during the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic. Although the precise pathophysiology of MIS-C is uncertain, it is thought to be due to immune dysregulation occurring after recovery from acute infection. Purpose: Our study aimed to analyze the clinical spectrum, laboratory parameters, imaging characteristics, treatment strategies, and short-term outcomes of children with a diagnosis of MIS-C. Methods: This retrospective and prospective observational study included children less than 16 years of age who were admitted to the pediatric unit of a tertiary care teaching hospital in south India between August 2020 to January 2021 with a diagnosis of MIS-C according to World Health Organization criteria. Results: Twenty-one children were included in the analysis; all had fever with variable combinations of other symptoms. The mean age was 6.9 years; 71.4% were male. Gastrointestinal (80.9%) and cardiovascular (80.9%) systems were the most commonly affected. The majority of children had elevated inflammatory markers, and 16 (76.2%) had echocardiographic abnormalities mimicking Kawasaki disease. Eleven children (52.4%) required intensive care admission, 3 (14.3%) required supplemental oxygen, and 4 (19%) required inotropes. Nine (42.9%) were treated with intravenous immunoglobulin alone, 6 (28.6%) with steroids alone, and 3 (14.3%) with steroids and immunoglobulin. The median hospital stay was 6 days; there were no fatalities. Overweight/obesity, elevated ferritin, and mucocutaneous involvement were significantly associated with a prolonged hospital stay (≥7 days). Sixteen children (76.2%) were followed up till now and all of them had no clinical concerns. Conclusion: MIS-C is an emerging disease with variable presentation. A high index of suspicion is necessary for its early identification and appropriate management. Further research is essential for developing optimal treatment strategies.

The data base is a basis for the Management Information Systems (MIS) and Technical Data Packages(TDPs) are one of the key factors in the research and development activities. Most research institutes has been developed their own MIS and also MIS for the IDP has been advanced and applied in the various area. However, MIS and it's operation of the drawings and TDPs generated from researches and developments should be developed further more. In this study, we studied on the creation of data base of MIS related to the drawings, specifications and TDPs based on general concepts and priciple of MIS and data base. And finally, mentioned a design of data base consisting of drawing, specifications and related TDPs which are applied to MIS. To help to understand this system, it is presented, that three master files and six variable files were created, as a experimental data base, according to the "TOTAL" of CYBER computer system and two other user programs and it's outputs after computer run. It is expected that results of this study could be useful for TDP MIS enhancement through improvement of this study and new user program development.

The inability of the management information systems (MIS) field to progress as a scientific discipline has been attributed to the lack of systematic research and a cumulative tradition, an identity crisis, and the poverty of scientism. While research on the status of MIS is very important in order to enhance the field as a scientific discipline, few have investigated this issue. Following Thomas Kuhn's idea of paradigm, this paper studies other fields to investigate when they progressed, when they did not, and why. After research paradigm was broken down into technology-push and demand-pull types, a model on the science life cycle was developed in an effort to explain the path how a science has progressed. A test of this model in the fields of physics and chemistry with an old historial background reveals that the scientific progress in the area of demand-pull is more desirable if this progress turns out to be in the right direction. An application of the model to the MIS field shows that the research paradigm in this field is mainly of technology-push. In order to shift this paradigm toward the demand-pull area, this paper suggests the research on the relationship among MIS subfields and the adoption of appropriate reference disciplines.

Nano-structured carbon nitride $(CN_x)$ films were prepared by reactive RF magnetron sputtering with a DC bias at various deposition conditions, and the physical and electrical properties were investigated. FTIR spectrum indicated an ${alpha}C_3N_4$ peak in the films. The carbon nitride film deposited on Si substrate had a nano-structured surface morphology. The grain size was about 20 nm and the deposition rate was $1.7{\mu}m/hr$. When the $N_2/Ar$ ratio was 3/7, the level of nitrogen incorporation was 34.3 at%. The film had a low dielectric constant. The metal-insulator-semiconductor (MIS) capacitors that the carbon nitride was deposited as insulators, exhibited a typical C-V characteristics.

In this paper, I disprove Hadwiger conjecture of the vertex coloring problem, which asserts that "All $K_k$-minor free graphs can be colored with k-1 number of colors, i.e., ${\chi}(G)=k$ given $K_k$-minor." Pursuant to Hadwiger conjecture, one shall obtain an NP-complete k-minor to determine ${\chi}(G)=k$, and solve another NP-complete vertex coloring problem as a means to color vertices. In order to disprove Hadwiger conjecture in this paper, I propose an algorithm of linear time complexity O(V) that yields the exact solution to the vertex coloring problem. The proposed algorithm assigns vertex with the minimum degree to the Maximum Independent Set (MIS) and repeats this process on a simplified graph derived by deleting adjacent edges to the MIS vertex so as to finally obtain an MIS with a single color. Next, it repeats the process on a simplified graph derived by deleting edges of the MIS vertex to obtain an MIS whose number of vertex color corresponds to ${\chi}(G)=k$. Also presented in this paper using the proposed algorithm is an additional algorithm that searches solution of ${\chi}^{{\prime}{\prime}}(G)$, the total chromatic number, which also remains NP-complete. When applied to a $K_4$-minor graph, the proposed algorithm has obtained ${\chi}(G)=3$ instead of ${\chi}(G)=4$, proving that the Hadwiger conjecture is not universally applicable to all the graphs. The proposed algorithm, however, is a simple algorithm that directly obtains an independent set minor of ${\chi}(G)=k$ to assign an equal color to the vertices of each independent set without having to determine minors in the first place.

본 연구에서는 금속-절연막-반도체 (MIS) 형태를 이용한 비휘발성 메모리 (NVM) 소자의 메모리 특성 향상을 위해 수소화 (Hydrogenation) 처리된 게이트산화막을 블로킹 산화막으로 응용하였다. 기존 연구의 경우 저온 공정시 게이트산화막의 고품위 전기적 특성 확보에 어려움이 있었다. 하지만 이번 연구에서는 게이트산화막 형성 시 H2 또는 NH3가스를 함께 주입시켜 Si-H 결합의 증대를 통한 passivation 효과를 얻을 수 있었다. 형성된 게이트산화막의 전기적 특성을 확인하기 위해 우선적으로 박막트랜지스터 (TFT)를 제작하여 전기적 특성을 확인하였다. 수소화 처리된 게이트산화막을 이용한 TFT 경우 그렇지 않은 게이트산화막을 이용한 TFT 보다 약 5V의 threshold voltage (Vth) 이득이 있으며 Vth의 hysteresis 특성 역시 거의 0V로 매우 안정적이었다. MIS 형태의 NVM 소자의 경우 -20V에서 +15V, +15V에서 -20V로 sweep하여 측정한 flatband voltage (Vfb)의 변화량 역시 약 88%의 메모리 특성 이득이 있음을 확인하였다.

Objective: To determine the effect of surface anodization on the interfacial strength between an orthodontic microimplant (MI) and the rabbit tibial bone, particularly in the initial phase aft er placement. Methods: A total of 36 MIs were driven into the tibias of 3 mature rabbits by using the self-drilling method and then removed aft er 6 weeks. Half the MIs were as-machined (n = 18; machined group), while the remaining had anodized surfaces (n = 18; anodized group). The peak insertion torque (PIT) and the peak removal torque (PRT) values were measured for the 2 groups of MIs. These values were then used to calculate the interfacial shear strength between the MI and cortical bone. Results: There were no statistical differences in terms of PIT between the 2 groups. However, mean PRT was significantly greater for the anodized implants ($3.79{\pm}1.39$ Ncm) than for the machined ones ($2.05{\pm}1.07$ Ncm) (p < 0.01). The interfacial strengths, converted from PRT, were calculated at 10.6 MPa and 5.74 MPa for the anodized and machined group implants, respectively. Conclusions: Anodization of orthodontic MIs may enhance their early-phase retention capability, thereby ensuring a more reliable source of absolute anchorage.

Management Information System(MIS) User satisfaction, which was introduced at the earlier 1990's, has become a core way of strategic method. But domestic companies have little experience toward this concept and the methodological knowledge was not cumulated yet. So the definition of User satisfaction, as well as the validity and objectivity toward the estimation, is being under discussion In this report we will contain the contents as follows, 1) investigate limitations of exposed theories about Methodology, 2) look into the situations and handicaps of User satisfaction estimation which is being used in practical domains on company, 3) search for the better way in application through comparative analysis between case study of customer satisfaction structure by structural equation model and by ordinary estimation model. We have conclusions through model that Index values like GFI AGFL RMR are accepted as within limited range for estimating validity of used model. so we can expect to use the results for deduce accurate User satisfaction index. Therefore satisfied Users became lesser at complaint behavior instead higher at repurchase likelihood, while unsatisfied Users became lower. Results as above are accordance with the previous studies, and that proves ACSI model to be applied toward local MIS Users' case. Even though the scopes of this research are restricted in domestic market of MIS Users, ACSI model itself has developed with the purpose for compatibility toward inter-company and inter-industry. So this model can be applied beneficially in the future study to analyse the extent that latent variables affect to User satisfaction.
