Introduction : Periodic limb movement disorder (PLMD) is shown to common in patients with OSA and may become evident or worsened when treated with nasal continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP). Whether this is due to im proved sleep continuity. adverse nocturnal body positioning, uncovered by CPAP, or due to the CPAP stimulus is still debat-ed. We hypothesized that the increase in PLM activity following CPAP is associated with more supine-sleeping tendencies when being treated with CPAP. In the present work, we compared differences in the PLMD index (PLMI) and sleeping position of patients with sleep disordered breathing before and after CPAP treatment. Method : We studied 16 patients (mean age 46 yr, 9M, 7F) with OSA (11 patients) or UARS (5 patients) who either had PLMD on initial polysomnogram (baseline PSG) or on nasal CPAP trial (CPAP PSG). All periodic leg movements were scored on anterior tibialis EMG during sleep according to standard criteria (net duration; 0.5-5.0 seconds, intervals; 4-90 seconds. 4 consecutive movements). Paired t-tests compared PLMD index (PLMI), PLMD-related arousal index (PLMD-ArI), respiratory disturbance index (RDI), and supine sleeping position spent with baseline PSG and CPAP PSG. Results : Ten patients (63%) on baseline PSG and fifteen patients (94%) on CPAP PSG had documented PLMD ($PLMI{\ge}5$) respectively with significant increase on CPAP PSG(p<0.05). Ten patients showed the emergence (6/10 patients) or substantial worsening (4/10 patients) of PLMD during CPAP trial. Mean CPAP pressure was $7.6{\pm}1.8\;cmH_2O$. PLMI tended to increase from baseline PSG to CPAP PSG, and significantly increase when excluding 2 outlier (baseline PSG, $19.0{\pm}25.8/hr$ vs CPAP PSG, $29.9{\pm}12.5/hr$, p<0.1). PLMD-ArI showed no significant change, but a significant decrease was detected when excluding 2 outlier (p<0.1). There was no significant sleeping positional difference (supine vs non-supine) on baseline PSG, but significantly more supine position (supine vs non-supine, p<0.05) on CPAP PSG. There was no significant difference in PLMI during supine-sleeping and nonsupine-sleeping position on both of baseline PSG and CPAP PSG. There was also no significant difference in PLMI during supine-sleeping position between baseline PSG and CPAP PSG. With nasal CPAP, there was a highly significant reduction in the RDI (baseline PSG, $14.1{\pm}21.3/hr$ vs CPAP PSG, $2.7{\pm}3.9/hr$, p<0.05). Conclusion : This preliminary data confirms previous findings that CPAP is a very effective treatment for OSA, and that PLMD is developed or worsened with treatment by CPAP. This data also indicates that supine-sleeping position is more common when being treated with CPAP. However, there was no clear evidence that supine position is the causal factor of increased PLMD with CPAP. It is, however, suggested that the relative movement limitation induced by CPAP treatment could be a contributory factor of PLMD.

This paper proposes quantitative investment strategies for KOSPI200 index futures using VKOSPI and control chart. Stochastic control chart is employed to decide when to take a position as well as what position out of long and short should be taken by monitoring whether VKOSPI or difference of VKOSPI touches the control limit lines. The strategies include 4 approaches, which are traditional control chart and 2-Area control chart coupled with VKOSPI and its difference, respectively. Computational experiments using real KOSPI200 futures index for recent 3 years are conducted to show the excellence of the proposed investment strategies under control chart framework.

Background: The purpose of this study was to compared of scapular position between operation side and non-operation side to the rotator cuff surgery. Methods: This study was carried out with a total 34 patients: male (n=14), female (n=20). Shoulder range of motion (ROM), the quadruple visual analogue scale (QVAS), the shoulder pain and disability index (SPADI), and the scapular index (SI) were used to assess shoulder posture and function. SI was the resting position of the scapular was determined by measuring the distance from the mid-point of the sternal notch (SN) to the medial aspect of the coracoid process (CP) and the horizontal distance from the posterolateral angle of the acromion (PLA) to the thoracic spine (TS) with a soft tape measure. The SI was calculated using the equation: [(SN to CP/PLA to TS) ${\times}$ 100]. Results: There were no significant difference in ROM, QVAS to rotator repair patients according to SI (p>.05). There were significant differences in SI between the operation side and the non-operation side (p<.01). Conclusions: Scapular position was operation side more internal rotation, protraction, abduction than non-operation side. Therefore, health professionals managing for rotator cuff tear repair patients should consider scapular position.

South Korea will soon be a super-aged society, as more than 20.6% of its population will be 65 years and older by 2025. As of 2022, 17.5% of the total population in South Korea is 65 years and older, which exceeds the set threshold for an aged society, where more than 14% of the population is 65 years and older. The proportion of older subway construction workers has increased. Aging workers and their work stress negatively impact their workability. A previous study demonstrated that the stress index measured using the uBioMacpa measurement device (Macpa stress index) had a significant correlation with work stress in South Korea. The device tests vascular health and measures stress levels via Macpa signal analysis. In this study, the pulse waves of subway construction workers were measured using uBioMacpa to identify their stress levels. The stress levels were analyzed by age, years of service, job position, employment type, and work type. Herein, these statistics could not be easily represented by a normal distribution; therefore, the Kruskal-Wallis test, a nonparametric statistical method, was used for the analysis of data. The results showed that age, job position, employment type, and working type affected the Macpa stress index and the stress levels of workers increased with age. In terms of job position, technical engineers were more stressed than other workers because of their poor working environment. In terms of employment type, daily-wage workers were more stressed than other workers. In terms of working type, tunneling, waterproofing, and construction scored the highest Macpa stress indexes without any significant difference, whereas earthworks scored the lowest. Based on the analysis of Macpa stress index, safety and health management plans were proposed to reduce the stress levels of workers. Moreover, a manual for efficient stress management must be developed for subway construction workers.

위치 기반 서비스는 이동체의 위치에 종속적인 결과를 얻는 위치 기반 질의를 필요로 한다. 이동체의 위치는 연속적으로 변하기 때문에, 이동체의 색인은 변경된 위치 정보를 유지하기 위하여 빈번한 갱신 연산을 수행해야 한다. 기존의 공간 색인들(그리드 파일, R-트리, KDB-트리 등)은 정적 데이터를 검색하는데 효과적인 색인이다. 이들 색인은 연속적으로 위치 데이터가 변경되는 이동체 데이터베이스의 색인으로는 적합하지 않다. 본 논문에서는 삽입/삭제 비용이 적은 동적 해슁 색인을 제안한다. 동적 해슁 색인 구조는 해쉬와 트리를 결합한 동적 해슁 기술을 공간 색인에 적용한 것이다. 실험 결과에서 동적 해슁 색인은 $R^*$-tree와 고정 그리드 보다 성능이 우수하였다.

Background: This study aims to measure regional healthcare differences in Korea, and define relatively underserved areas. Methods: We employed position value for relative comparison index (PARC) to measure the healthcare status of 250 areas using 137 indicators in five following domains: healthcare demand, supply, accessibility, service utilization, and outcome. We performed a sensitivity analysis using t-SNE (t-distributed stochastic neighboring embedding). Results: Based on PARC values, 83 areas were defined as relatively underserved areas, 49 of which were categorized as moderate and 34 as severe. The provincial regions with the most underserved areas were Gyeongbuk (16 areas), Gangwon (13), Jeonnam (13), and Gyeongnam (12). Conclusion: This study suggests a relative comparison approach to define relatively underserved areas in healthcare. Further studies incorporating various perspectives and methods are required for policy implications.

유방암 환자에 대한 방사선치료에서 유방의 크기가 큰 경우에 바로 누운 자세와 엎드린 자세 간의 선량학적 효과의 비교를 통하여 치료 최적화를 위한 효과적인 방식을 탐구 해보고자 한다. 본 연구에서는 왼쪽 유방에 종양이 있고 거대유방을 가진 환자가 바로 누운 자세와 엎드린 자세로 입체조형방사선치료를 받았을 때의 차이를 부피-선량 히스토그램을 통해 비교하였다. Planning target volume (계획표적체적, PTV)은 왼쪽 유방이고 Homogeneity index (균질성지표, HI), Conformity index (적합성지표, CI), Coverage index (조사범위지표, CVI)의 값을 확인하였다. Organ at risk (관심장기, OAR)는 오른쪽 유방, 양쪽 폐 그리고 심장이며 평균선량, 최대선량 및 장기 특성에 따른 기타 지표들을 비교하였다. 엎드린 자세로 치료 시 바로 누운 자세보다 PTV인 왼쪽 유방의 HI, CI 값이 21.7%, 6.49% 감소하였고 CVI 값이 10.8% 증가하였다. 관심장기 중 왼쪽 폐에서는 평균선량, 최대선량이 91.6, 87.0% 감소하였고 부피지표 또한 99% 이상 감소하였다. 오른쪽 폐에서는 자세와 관계없이 동일한 수치를 나타냈고 심장에서는 최대선량이 14.2% 감소했고 평균선량과 이와 관련된 이상이 발생할 확률은 모두 51.6% 감소하였다. 오른쪽 유방에서는 앞선 관심장기와는 달리 평균선량과 최대선량이 증가함을 보였다. Lifetime attributable risk (LAR)의 경우 왼쪽과 오른쪽 폐에서는 엎드린 자세를 취했을 때 80.3, 24.2% 감소함을 보였지만 오른쪽 유방에서는 두 배정도 증가함을 보였다. 유방암 환자의 유방 크기가 클 경우 엎드린 자세를 취했을 때 별다른 합병증 없이 대부분의 지표에서 더 나은 결과를 보이기에 예외적인 상황이 아니라면 엎드린 자세로 치료받는 것을 추천한다.

SAI(Secondary Air Injection) system has been studied widely as one of the promising countermeasure for reducing HC emission at cold start. In this paper, in order to find out the optimal position of SAI, computational thermal fluid analysis on exhaust system adapted SAI system is performed using commercial 3-D CFD code, CFX. The present results showed that SAI position strongly affected the uniformity of air distribution in front of catalyst. And also through the decision process of optimal position of SAI, new index, uniformity of air distribution($U_{\phi}$) is proposed to define it quantitively. Because $U_{\phi}$ is very simple equation and similar with flow uniformity, it is very easy to figure out the physical meaning and to apply it to practices. Finally, we applied the index $U_{\phi}$ to the decision process of the optimal position of SAI, so that we could get the clear comparison results.

In tall constructions, the outriggers are regarded as a structural part capable of effectively resisting lateral loads. This study analyses the efficacy of hybrid outrigger system in high rise RCC building for various structural parameters identified. For variations in α, which is defined as the ratio of the relative flexural stiffness of the core to the axial rigidity of the column, static and dynamic analyses of hybrid outrigger system having a virtual and a conventional outrigger at two distinct levels were conducted in the present study. An investigation on the optimal outrigger position was performed by taking the results from absolute maximum inter storey drift ratio (ISD_max), roof acceleration (acc_roof), roof displacement (disp_roof), and base bending moment under both wind and seismic loads on analytical models having 40, 60 and 80 storeys. An ideal performance index parameter was introduced and was utilized to obtain the optimal position of the hybrid outrigger system considering the combined response of ISD_max, acc_roof, disp_roof and, criteria required for the structure under wind and seismic loads. According to the behavioural study, increasing the column area and outrigger arm length will maximise the performance of the hybrid outrigger system. The analysis results are summarized in a flowchart which provides the optimal positions obtained for each dependent parameter and based on ideal performance index which can be used to make initial suggestions for installing a hybrid outrigger system.
