The IUU Fishing Index is composed of 40 indicators. These indicators were grouped by state responsibilities (flag, coastal, port, and general including market) defined in the FAO IPOA-IUU (2001) and then by type into vulnerability, prevalence, and response. A total of 152 coastal nations was surveyed. Korea's total combined IUU Fishing Index was 2.49 in 2019 and 2.91 in 2021, indicating a drop in the ranking to the third worst out of 152 countries followed by China and Russia in 2021. The indicators that increased the IUU fishing risk in 2021 compared to 2019 included seven indicators of prevalence and two indicators of response while those reducing the risk included one prevalence and one response indicator. The IUU Fishing Index revealed that many fisheries observers and monitoring, control and surveillance (MCS) practitioners active in the waters of RFMOs jurisdiction where Korean distant water vessels operate have mentioned concerns about the compliance with RFMO conservation measures or fishing practices. It suggested that strengthening management intervention in the fishing sector is needed. The primary tool for management is the MCS system. Given the logistical difficulty of oversight from land, air and at-sea, there is a need to enhance MCS strategies through logbook data, at-sea observer and electronic monitoring program. It also suggested that MSC fisheries certification and fisheries improvement projects, which are widely used for improving fishing sector performance, could contribute to the eradication of IUU fishing and the promotion of sustainable distant water fisheries.

최근 국제정세는 신냉전으로 불릴 만큼 극심한 진영 간 대립의 양상을 보여주고 있다. 진영을 구분하는 요소로 가치와 규범이 강조되고 있지만 실제 갈등은 단순하게 이념과 가치에만 기반을 두기 보다는 훨씬 복잡하고 다층적인 양상을 나타내고 있다. 이러한 상황 속에서 우리 정부는 제2차 공공외교 기본계획(2023~2027)을 수립했다. 본 연구는 제1차 공공외교 기본계획과 제2차 기본계획을 비교하고 있으며, 이를 통해 바람직한 한국 공공외교의 방향에 대해 논의하고 있다. 제2차 기본계획은 지식공공외교와 정책공공외교 측면에서 더욱 확장된 내용을 포함하고 있으며, 공공외교의 수단으로서 디지털 공공외교를 강조하는 등 발전적인 내용들을 담고 있지만, 정책공공외교의 일부인 가치와 규범에 대해 명확한 내용을 제시하지 못하고 있다. 가치와 규범은 최근 국제정치의 주요 요인이지만 우리에게 중요한 국가들을 배제할 수도 있기 때문에, 글로벌 보편 가치를 설정하고 이를 추구하는 것이 정책공공외교의 주요 목표가 되어야 한다. 대립하고 갈등하는 국제정세 속에서 우리의 공공외교가 바람직한 방향으로 추진될 수 있도록 더욱 정교하고 세심한 계획 수립이 필요하다.

Purpose: This study assessed the diagnostic performance of stitched and non-stitched cross-sectional cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) images of non-displaced ovine mandibular fractures. Materials and Methods: In this ex vivo study, non-displaced fractures were artificially created in 10 ovine mandibles (20 hemi-mandibles) using a hammer. The control group comprised 8 hemi-mandibles. The non-displaced fracture lines were oblique or vertical, <0.5 mm wide, 10-20 mm long, and only in the buccal or lingual cortex. Fracture lines in the ramus and posterior mandible were created to be at the interface or borders of the 2 stitched images. CBCT images were obtained from the specimens with an 80 mm×80 mm field of view before and after fracture induction. OnDemand software (Cybermed, Seoul, Korea) was used for stitching the CBCT images. Four observers evaluated 56 (28 stitched and 28 non-stitched) images to detect fracture lines. The diagnostic performance of stitched and non-stitched images was assessed by calculating the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC). Sensitivity and specificity values were also calculated (alpha=0.05). Results: The AUC was calculated to be 0.862 and 0.825 for the stitched and non-stitched images, respectively (P=0.747). The sensitivity and specificity were 90% and 75% for the non-stitched images and 85% and 87% for the stitched images, respectively. The inter-observer reliability was shown by a Fleiss kappa coefficient of 0.79, indicating good agreement. Conclusion: No significant difference was found in the diagnostic performance of stitched and non-stitched cross-sectional CBCT images of non-displaced fractures of the ovine mandible.

The tarsus in dogs has a complex structure that makes its evaluation relatively challenging. Because an accurate diagnosis of the tarsus is difficult through basic examinations alone, imaging tests are essential. Previous studies have explored the anatomical and radiological features of the canine tarsus using several imaging modalities. However, the imaging utility of the tarsus across different modalities has not been thoroughly evaluated. This study aimed to visualize the tarsal structures using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and ultrasonography, compare their utility, and propose suitable imaging modalities and conditions for evaluating specific tarsal structures. Magnetic resonance imaging and ultrasound scans of the tarsus of four healthy dogs were performed, and two observers rated the utility of each image on a five-point scale. Although MRI is more beneficial for assessing the tarsal structures than ultrasound, ultrasound also appears clinically useful for evaluating the cranial tibialis muscle, deep digital flexor tendon, subcutaneous fat, joint space, and superficial digital flexor tendon. In addition, each structure of interest can be evaluated for optimal visibility using specific ultrasound sections, MRI sequences, and planes. In veterinary clinical practice, an initial assessment using ultrasound imaging with optimal visibility is required and if further evaluation is necessary, MRI examinations with optimal MRI sequences and planes can be performed.

Purpose: This study was conducted to identify the typical sites and patterns of peri-implant bone defects on cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) images, as well as to evaluate the detectability of the identified bone defects on panoramic images. Materials and Methods: The study population included 114 patients with a total of 367 implant fixtures. CBCT images were used to assess the presence or absence of bone defects around each implant fixture at the mesial, distal, buccal, and lingual sites. Based on the number of defect sites, the presentations of the peri-implant bone defects were categorized into 3 patterns: 1 site, 2 or 3 sites, and circumferential bone defects. Two observers independently evaluated the presence or absence of bone defects on panoramic images. The bone defect detection rate on these images was evaluated using receiver operating characteristic analysis. Results: Of the 367 implants studied, 167 (45.5%) had at least 1 site with a confirmed bone defect. The most common type of defect was circumferential, affecting 107 of the 167 implants(64.1%). Implants were most frequently placed in the mandibular molar region. The prevalence of bone defects was greatest in the maxillary premolar and mandibular molar regions. The highest kappa value was associated with the mandibular premolar region. Conclusion: The typical bone defect pattern observed was a circumferential defect surrounding the implant. The detection rate was generally higher in the molar region than in the anterior region. However, the capacity to detect partial bone defects using panoramic imaging was determined to be poor.

Objective: To compare the clinical utility of the different imaging techniques used for the evaluation of tracheobronchial diseases. Materials and Methods: Forty-one patients with tracheobronchial diseases [tuberculosis (n = 18), bronchogenic carcinoma (n = 10), congenital abnormality (n = 3), post-operative stenosis (n = 2), and others (n = 8)] underwent chest radiography and spiral CT. Two sets of scan data were obtained: one from routine thick-section axial images and the other from thin-section axial images. Multiplanar reconstruction (MPR) and shaded surface display (SSD) images were obtained from thin-section data. Applying a 5-point scale, two observers compared chest radiography, routine CT, thin-section spiral CT, MPR and SSD imaging with regard to the detection, localization, extent, and characterization of a lesion, information on its relationship with adjacent structures, and overall information. Results: SSD images were the most informative with regard to the detection (3.95±0.31), localization (3.95±0.22) and extent of a lesion (3.85±0.42), and overall information (3.83±0.44), while thin-section spiral CT scans provided most information regarding its relationship with adjacent structures (3.56±0.50) and characterization of the lesion (3.51±0.61). Conclusion: SSD images and thin-section spiral CT scans can provide valuable information for the evaluation of tracheobronchial disease.

Purpose: This study evaluated the impact of artifacts generated by metal crowns on the detection of proximal caries lesions in teeth at various distances using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT). Additionally, the diagnostic impacts of tube current and metal artifact reduction (MAR) were investigated. Materials and Methods: Thirty teeth were arranged within 10 phantoms, each containing 1 first premolar, 1 second premolar, and 1 second molar. A sound first molar (for the control group) or a tooth with a metal crown was placed. Of the 60 proximal surfaces evaluated, 15 were sound and 45 exhibited enamel caries. CBCT scans were acquired using an OP300 Maxio unit (Instrumentarium, Tuusula, Finland), while varying the tube current (4, 8, or 12.5 mA) and enabling or disabling MAR. Five observers assessed mesial and distal surfaces using a 5-point scale. Multi-way analysis of variance was employed for data comparison, with P<0.05 indicating statistical significance. Results: The area under the curve (AUC) varied from 0.40 to 0.60 (sensitivity: 0.28-0.45, specificity: 0.44-0.80). The diagnostic accuracy was not significantly affected by the presence of a metal crown, milliamperage, or MAR(P>0.05). However, the overall AUC and specificity were significantly lower for surfaces near a crown (P<0.05). Conclusion: CBCT-based caries detection was not influenced by the presence of a metal crown, variations in milliamperage, or MAR activation. However, the diagnostic accuracy was low and was further diminished for surfaces near a crown. Consequently, CBCT is not recommended for the detection of incipient caries lesions.

Purpose: Preoperative planning has become essential in performance of total hip arthroplasty (THA). However, data regarding the effect of the planner's experience on the accuracy of digital preoperative planning is limited. The objective of this study was to assess the accuracy of digital templating in THA based on the surgeon's experience. Materials and Methods: A retrospective study was conducted. An analysis of 98 anteroposterior pelvic radiographs, which were individually templated by four surgeons (two hip surgeons and two orthopaedic residents) using TraumaCad^® digital planning, was performed. A comparison of preoperatively planned sizes with implanted sizes was performed to evaluate the accuracy of predicting component size. The results of preoperative planning performed by hip surgeons and orthopaedic residents were compared for testing of the planner's experience. Results: Femoral stem was precisely predicted in 32.4% of cases, acetabular component in 40.3%, and femoral offset in 76.7%. Prediction of cup size showed greater accuracy than femoral size among all observers. No differences in any variable were observed among the four groups (acetabular cup P=0.07, femoral stem P=0.82, femoral offset P=0.06). All measurements showed good reliability (intraclass correlation coefficient [ICC] acetabular cup: 0.76, ICC femoral stem: 0.79). Conclusion: The results of this study might suggest that even though a surgeon's experience supports improved precision during the planning stage, it should not be restricted only to surgeons with a high level of experience. We consider preoperative planning an essential part of the surgery, which should be included in training for orthopaedics residents.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the accuracy and usefulness of spiral tomography through the comparison and analysis of SCANORA cross-sectional tomographs and DentaScan computed tomographic images of dry mandibles taken by a SCANORA spiral tomographic machine and a computed tomographic machine. Thirty-one dry mandibles with full or partial edentulous areas were used. To evaluate the possible effect of location in the edentulous area, it was divided into 4 regions of Me (region of mental foramen), MI (the midportion between Me and M2), M2 (the midportion between mental foramen and mandibular foramen) and S (the midportion of the mandibular symphysis). A ZPC column (sized 4 mm x 5 mm) was seated on the edentulous regions of Me, MI, M2 and S using the acrylic stent. Then SCANORA spiral tomography and computed tomography were taken on the edentulous regions which contained the ZPC column. The ZPC columns and cross-sectional images of the mandible were measured in the radiographs by three observers and the differences between the two imaging modalities were analysed. The results were as follows: 1. In comparing the actual measurements of the ZPC column and measurements in the radiographs, the mean error of the DentaScan computed tomography was 0.07 mm in vertical direction and -0.06 mm in horiwntal direction, while the mean error of the SCANORA spiral tomography was 0.06 mm in vertical direction and -0.12 mm in horizontal direction. There was a significant difference between the two radiographic techniques in the horizontal measurement of the ZPC column of the symphysis region (p<0.05). But there was no significant difference in the measurements of other regions (p>0.05). 2. In measurements of the distance from the alveolar crest to the inferior border of the mandible (H), and of the distance from the alveolar crest to the superior border of the mandibular canal (Y), there was no significant difference between the two radiographic techniques (p>0.05). 3. In measurements of the distance from the lingual border of the mandible to the buccal border of the mandible (W), and of the distance from the lingual border of the mandible to the lingual border of the mandibular canal (X), there was a significant difference between the two radiographic techniques in measurements of the midportion between the mental foramen and the mandibular foramen (M2) (p<0.05). But there were no significant differences in measurements of the other regions of symphysis (S), mental foramen (Me), the first one-fourth portion between the mental foramen and the mandibular foramen (M1) (p>0.05). 4. Considering the mean range of measurements between observers, the measurements of SCANORA spiral tomography showed higher value than those of DentaScan computed tomography, except in measurements of symphysis (S). 5. On the detectability of the mandibular canal, there was no significant difference between the two radiographic techniques (p>0.05). In conclusion, SCANORA spiral tomography demonstrated a higher interobserver variance than that of DentaScan computed tomography for implant site measurements in the posterior edentulous area of the mandible. These differences were mainly the result of difficulty in the detection of the border of the mandible in SCANORA spiral tomography. But considering the cost and the radiation exposure, SCANORA spiral tomography can be said to be a relatively good radiographic technique for implant site measurement.

인간 시각은 고휘도를 접할 경우 색 민감도가 떨어진다. 이러한 현상으로 인해, 인간이 고휘도와 일반 휘도를 가지는 두 디스플레이를 볼 때, 측정 상 동일한 색을 가지는 패치에 대해 두 색이 다르다고 인지하게 되고, 이를 색상이동 현상이라 한다. 본 논문에서는 고휘도와 일반휘도 디스플레이의 색상이동현상을 모델링하고, 두 디스플레이의 색이 인간시각에 동일하게 인지되도록 하는 색 보정 방법을 제안하였다. 색상이동모델은 색상 매칭 실험으로써 결정된다. 먼저 실험은 고휘도와 일반휘도 디스플레이의 3단계 밝기에서 비율을 일정하게 유지하여 수행한다. 실험에 쓰이는 패치는, CIELAB 색 공간에서 밝기와 채도를 고정하여 색상만 변화하는 패치를 사용한다. 실험에서 관찰자는 휘도차가 나는 두 패치를 동시에 보면서, 고휘도 디스플레이의 인지되는 색상이 일반 휘도의 디스플레이와 같을 때까지 색상 값만을 수정하고, 수정된 색상 값의 차이가 색상이동양으로 사용된다. 실험에서 얻어진 각 패치의 색상 이동양은 일곱 개의 구간으로 나뉘어 모델링 되어 색상이동모델로 사용된다. 고휘도 디스플레이의 색 보정은 픽셀단위로 수행되며, 먼저 입력 RGB 값을 CIELAB 값으로 변환 후, 색상 값만을 보정하기 위하여 LCh(lightness, chroma, hue)값으로 변환한다. 여기서, 색상 값만을 색상이동모델을 사용하여 수정한 후, 역 과정을 통하여 출력 RGB값을 추정한다. 평가를 위해 관찰자의 선호도 테스트를 하였고, 대부분의 관찰자는 고휘도 디스플레이에서 색상이동모델이 적용된 영상이 일반휘도를 가지는 디스플레이의 영상과 인지되는 색상이 유사하다고 판단하였다.울어진 분포를 보여주고 있어 응용분야에 따라 정확한 분석이 필요한 경우 이러한 펄스 모양을 고려한 방법이 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 펄스 모양을 처리하기 위한 새로운 방법론이 제시되어있다.는데 더 부합하는 것으로 평가할 수 있다. 높았고 외해역에서 다소 낮은 경향이었으며 지세포항 내에 위치한 정점은 '심각한 교란(heavily disturbed)'을 나타내기도 하였으나 연구 해역 전반적으로 '경미한 교란(slightly disturbed)'을 나타내고 있었다. 지세포항 인근 연안역의 저서생태계는 다소 불안정하거나 교란된 군집을 형성하고 있다고 볼 수 있으나 연구 해역 전반적으로는 계절적으로 큰 변동 없이 비교적 안정된 군집을 형성하고 있다고 보여진다.의 치료 방법으로서 관혈적 방법과 고식적 관절경적 수술보다 좋은 치료라고 판단된다.해는 30명 중 28명으로 완전관해율은 93%였다. 3년 국소제어율은 87%, 전체환자의 3년 생존율은 93%, 무병생존율은 87%였다. 4명(13%)에서 국소실패를 보였고 1명(3%)에서 원격전이를 보였다. 치료 중 급성 합병증으로 11명(37%)에서 RTOG grade 1-2의 장염을 보였으며 1명은 대장의 천공이 발생하여 수술로 치유되었다. 12명(40%)에서 RTOG grade 1-2의 급성 방광염을 보였다. 3명(10%)에서 RTOG grade 1-2의 백혈구 감소증이 보였으며 1명에서 심한 백혈구 감소증(RTOG grade 4)이 나타났으나 회복되어 치료를 완료하였다. 만성 합병증으로 5명(15%)에서 RTOG grade 1-2의 만성 장염을 보였으며 별다른 치료 없이 지내고 있으며 1명(3%)에서 R
