  • The ACTION (Asean CosTs In ONcology) Study will be one of the largest observational studies of the burden of cancer ever conducted in Asia. The study will involve 10,000 newly diagnosed patients with cancer and will be carried out across eight low- and middle income countries within the ASEAN region (Indonesia, Thailand, Malaysia, Cambodia, Myanmar, Viet Nam, Laos and the Philippines). Patients will be interviewed three times over 12 months to assess their health, use of health care services, out of pocket costs related to their illness, social and quality of life issues. The project is a collaboration between the George Institute for Global Health, the ASEAN Foundation and Roche. The aim of the study is to assess the health and socioeconomic impact of cancer on patients in ASEAN communities, and the factors that may impact on these outcomes.

  • Recently, infrared (IR) spectrometers have been required in various fields such as environment, safety, mobile, automotive, and military. This IR dispersive sensor detection method of substances is widely used. In this study, we fabricated a silicon (Si) prism-based near infrared (NIR) spectrometer utilizing micro electro mechanical system (MEMS) technology. Si prism-based NIR spectrometer utilizing MEMS technology consists of upper, middle, and lower substrates. The upper substrate passes through the incident IR ray selectively. The middle substrate, acting as a prism, disperses and separates the incident IR beam. The lower substrate has an amorphous Si (a-Si)-based bolometer array to detect the IR spectrum. The fabricated Si prism-based NIR spectrometer utilizing MEMS technology has the advantage of a simple structure, easy fabrication steps, and a wide NIR region operating range.

  • The objective of this study is to analyze variables that have significant effects pocket money management of adolescents. and to provide useful information for parents and educators who educate adolescents. Data obtained from questionnaires returned by 1,200 adolescents who were randomly selected from middle and high Schools in Chejudo. The data were analyzed by using SPSS Win Program. 40.3% of the adolescents were satisfied with their pocket money. Monthly average pocket money of them was 305.00₩, middle school students were 19.780₩. high school students were 41.230₩ male students were 32.880₩. and female students were 28,130₩. Pocket money expenditure of adolescents differed significantly according to gender. school, region. and pocket money. 43.3% of adolescents had experiences in doing part time for making pocket money. Gender, school, and pocket money have a statistically significant effect on it. The strongest predictor of pocket money management of adolescents is their consumer socialization. Pocket money management of them mostly was influenced by family. friends. school. and mass media.

  • The aim of this study is to apply engineering modeling tools to examine hemodynamics such as blood flow patterns or shear stress distributions, in order to determine the link between hemodynamics and cerebral aneurysms. Image-Based Simulation is used to analyze the realistic middle cerebral artery constructed from computed tomography raw data. As a result of simulation, high wall shear stress is appeared at the bifurcated region. And existence of the recirculation flow at the inlet of bifurcation($D_2$) is predict to affect at the development of the cerebral aneurysm.

  • The spermatogenesis of korean leech, Whitmania edentula was observed, using both light and electron microscopes. The spermatogonium and maturing spermatozoon are connected with long cytoplasmic process to the cytophore, which supplys nutrition to the germ cells and supports synchronous maturity. The truck of korean leech is divided into three regions; a long ladder-shaped acrosome and head, long middle piece and long tail. Long head region twists to the dextral helix, and nuclei are surrounded with microtubules (manchette).The nebenkern formed with long mitochondrion exists in the middle pieces, and a long tail of Whitmania edentula ($9\times2+1$ axoneme) differs from the $9\times2+2$ axoneme of Rhynchobdellae. The late cytophore is mostly formed with crystalloid matter and a number of lysosomes, and matured spermatozooms are engulfed into the late cytophore.

  • The middle-latitude ionization trough, the plasma density depletion in the subauroral region, has been extensively studied since its discovery in the 1960s. Our knowledge of the variability of the trough is mostly based on the observations in the northern hemisphere. Recently, the COSMIC observations enabled the investigation of the trough in both hemispheres at all local time. However, the investigation was limited to the period of the low solar activity. In this study, we investigate the variability of the trough location and morphology with local time, solar cycle, magnetic activity, and interplanetary magnetic field. For this purpose, we analyze the DMSP F15 data acquired during 2000-2010.

  • Hydrogen is considered a key energy source to achieve carbon neutrality through the global goal of 'Net Zero'. Due to limitations in domestic green hydrogen production, Korean companies are interested in importing green hydrogen produced overseas. Because Australia and the Middle East possess high-quality renewable energy resources, they are attracting attention as suitable regions for producing green hydrogen using renewable energy. The cost of constructing and operating a green ammonia plant varies depending on the region. In this study, an economic feasibility comparison of green ammonia plant construction in Australia and the Middle East is conducted. Through this, it is expected to contribute to the economic analysis and feasibility analysis of the project to import hydrogen in the form of green ammonia into Korea.
