  • If an arrangement admits a nice partition, or an arrangement is free, then the characteristic polynomial of the arrangement can be factored. It is known that a free arrangement does not always admit a nice partition. We show that even an inductively free arrangement does not always admit a nice partition.

  • The epidermal differentiation complex (EDC) contains a large number of gene products which are crucial for the maturation of the human epidermis and can contribute to skin diseases, even carcinogenesis. It is generally accepted that activation of oncogenes and/or inactivation of tumor suppressor genes play pivotal roles in the process of carcinogenesis. Here, NICE-3, a novel EDC gene, was found to be up-regulated in human hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) by quantitative real-time RT-PCR. Furthermore, overexpression of exogenous NICE-3 by recombinant plasmids could significantly promote cell proliferation, colony formation and soft agar colony formation in Focus and WRL-68 HCC cell lines. Reversely, NICE-3 silencing by RNA interference could markedly inhibit these malignant phenotypes in YY-8103 and MHCC-97H cells. Moreover, cell cycle analysis of MHCC-97H transfected with siRNA by flow cytometry showed that NICE-3 knockdown may inhibit cell growth via arrest in G0/G1 phase and hindering entry of cells into S phase. All data of our findings indicate that NICE-3 may contribute to human hepatocellular carcinoma by promoting cell proliferation.

  • This paper is a general review contextualizing the state of the domestic health technology assessment. The aim of the paper is to present an overview of health technology assessment in Korea based on examining clinical efficacy as well as cost-benefit analysis, and to suggest the issue of appraisal based on social value. We have included a discussion of a major case study of the technology appraisal process of NICE (the National Institute for Clinical Excellence) in the UK. The review of the existing process of NICE shows that the appraisal both gives interest in health technology a sense of value perspective and raises methodological issues in terms of reliability. Details of the appraisal process and several guidelines for best practice have emerged. Suggestions are listed and their role in assessing is explained as a conclusion.

  • The US cybersecurity workforce policy is being pursued comprehensively and systematically, based on the NICE established initiated in 2010. Security Technologies, one of the eight areas of Advanced Technology Education(ATE) of the National Science Foundation(NSF) included in the STEM. This policy has been comprehensively promoted in conjunction with NICE, and this security technology field is operated with five detailed programs. In this paper, we examine in detail five cybersecurity workforce development programs supported by ATE, and compare them with the current status cultivation of cybersecurity workforce in Korea. After finding out the problems and improvements by comparison with the current situation of cybersecurity workforce development in Korea, we propose several implementations of nation-wide strategies for cultivating new cybersecurity workforce in Korea.

  • Background/Aims: Narrow Band Imaging (NBI) International Colorectal Endoscopic (NICE) and Workgroup Serrated Polyps and Polyposis (WASP) classifications were developed for optical diagnosis of neoplastic and sessile serrated polyps, respectively. Near-focus NBI with NICE combined with WASP criteria for optical diagnosis of colonic polyps has not yet been evaluated. We aimed to compare the accuracy of near-focus NBI (group A) with normal-focus NBI (group B) in real-time optical diagnosis of colorectal polyps using combined NICE and WASP criteria. Methods: Among 362 patients, 118 with 227 polyps were recruited. Groups A and B included 62 patients with 130 polyps (three lost polyps) and 56 patients with 106 polyps (six lost polyps), respectively. Optical diagnoses were compared with pathological reports. Results: The accuracy of optical diagnosis of neoplastic polyps in groups A and B was not significantly different (76% vs. 71%, p=0.52). WASP criteria provided all false positive diagnoses of sessile polyps as serrated polyps in 31 (16.2%) patients. Conclusions: Near-focus NBI was not superior to normal-focus NBI in optical diagnostics of neoplastic polyps using NICE criteria. In our study, WASP classification yielded all false positives in the diagnosis of sessile serrated adenomas/polyps. Routine real-life optical diagnosis of polyps is still unadvisable.

  • Using a matrix method, pp. Antosik and C. Swartz have obtained a series of nice properties of bounded multiplier convergent (BMC) series on metric linear spaces ([1],[8],[9]). In this paper, we establish a basic property of BMC series on topological vector spaces which is a generalization of a result due to J. Batt([2], Th.2). From this, we have obtained a kind of inclusion theorem of operator spaces. This theorem yields a nice result on infinite systems of linear equations.
