Background: Colorectal cancer is one of most common cancers in women and men and one of the major causes of death due to neoplasia. Colonoscopy is considered as the most accurate diagnostic procedure to detect colorectal cancer at the earlier stages. Objectives: The current study aimed to evaluate the effects of an education program using the Theory of Planned Behavior on promoting behavioral intention among first degree relatives of colorectal cancer patients. Materials and Methods: A quasi-experimental study conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of an educational program to promote attitudinal factors associated with early detection of colorectal cancer in 99 first degree relatives of colorectal cancer patients aged more than 20 years in Yazd city, Iran. A researcher made questionnaire forwhich validity and reliability were confirmed by expert point of view and pilot testing was employed for data collection. Questionnaires were filled in before and after educational intervention. The registered data were transferred to SPSS 19 and analyzed by paired T-test, Man-Whitney and Wilcaxon. Results: Mean scores of knowledge, attitude, perceived behavioral control and intention regarding colorectal cancer increased after education significantly (P<0.05). Conclusions: Application of the Theory of Planned Behavior has positive influence on promoting intention behavior. It is therefore recommended to apply educational programs to promote behavioral intention.

A geochemical study on a hemipelagic core sediment taken from the northwest Pacific Ocean (eastern edge of the Shikoku Basin) was conducted to use of excess barium (Ba(ex)) for evaluate the paleoceano-graphic changes. Also, the excursion of sedimentary Ba(ex) was compared with those of biogenic opal, carbonate and organic carbon content in the sediment during the last glacial and interglacial periods. The calculated Ba(ex) derived from the major and minor element shows a distinctive glacial-interglacial variations, and the mass accumulation rate (MAR) of Ba(ex) shows coincident variations with the MARs of biogenic fractions. Especially, strong positive correlation (r$^2$=0.85) between the MAR of Ba(ex) and the MAR of biogenic carbonate is recognized. Based on the strong positive correlation(r$^2$=0.85) between the MAR of Ba(ex) and the MAR of carbonate content, we estimated the degree of carbonate dissolution rate during the glacial and interglacial periods. Assuming the proportional variation and the refractory nature of barium exist between two factors, the variation of index Ca/Ba ratio in sediment indicates the degree of carbonate dissolution. Sedimentary Ca/Ba ratios index clearly show a striking fluctuation between the glacial and interglacial periods with higher positive correlation during glacial and lower correlation during interglacial. This fact indicates enhanced carbonate dissolution during interglacial period. Thus, the sedimentary Ca/Ba ratio in sedimentary records can be used as one of the useful tools for estimation of the relative degree of carbonate dissolution. The excursion of Ba(ex) and the sedimentary Ca/Ba ratio follows the typical pacific carbonate dissolution type(enhanced dissolution during interglacial and reduced dissolution during glacial time) as suggested by previous work (e.g., Wu et al., 1990). Variation in sedimentary Ca/Ba ratio thus strongly supports that glacial-interglacial fluctuation in carbonate dissolution has been prevailed in the northwest Pacific Ocean.

The degree of purification and the macrostructure of high purity aluminium were studied through the alternate stirring method in order to improve the nonuniformity of solute concentration in the unidirectional stirring method. The $2^3$ factorial design was done to examine the effects of experimental factors more qualitatively. In the relatively low stirring speed of 1500 rpm with alternate stirring mode, the uniform solute profile and refined grain structure were obtained due to strong washing effect and turbulent fluid flow. It was induced by the transition of the momentum boundary layer by alternation of the stirrer. It was concluded from this study that the alternate stirring mode was more effective to obtain the uniformity of solute even in the stirring speed of 1500 rpm. But the degree of purification decreased below the critical alternating period. When 2N(99.8wt.%) aluminium was used as the starting material the morphology of solid-liquid showed the cellular shape and the columnar grains were inclined to the direction of rotation. This inclined grain growth resulted from the difference of relative velocities of solid and liquid. The inclined angle was increased as the stirring speed increased and solidification proceeded. In the case of 4N aluminium, there was no inclined grain growth and it was confirmed from the macrostructure and SEM work that the morphology of solid-liquid interface was planar. From the factorial design, it was found that the alternate stirring mode showed poorer purification effect than that of unidirectional stirring mode at low speed(500 rpm). In addition, the factor that had the most significant effect on the degree of purification was the stirring speed.

The LiDAR data structure has the potential for modeling in three dimensions because the LiDAR data can represent voxels with z value under certain defined conditions. Therefore, it is possible to classify the physical damaged degree of vegetation by forest fire as using the LiDAR data because the physical loss of canopy height and width by forest fire can be relative to an amount of points reached to the ground through the canopy of damaged forest. On the other hand, biological damage of vegetation by forest fire can be explained using the NDVI (Normalized Difference Vegetation Index) which show vegetation vitality. In this study, we graded the damaged degree of vegetation by forest fire in Yangyang-Gun of South Korea using the LiDAR data for physical grading and digital aerial photograph including Red, Green, Blue and Near Infra-Red bands for biological grading. The LiDAR data was classified into 2 classes, of which one was Serious Physical Damaged (SPD) and the other was Light Physical Damaged (LPD) area. The NDVI was also classified into 2 classes which are Serious Biological Damaged (SBD) and Light Biological Damaged (LBD) area respectively. With each 2 classes ofthe LiDAR data and NDVI, the damaged area by forest fire was graded into 4 degrees like damaged class 1,2,3 and 4 grade. As a result of this study, 1 graded area was the broadest and next was the 3 grade. With this result, we could know that the burned area by forest fire in Yangyang-Gun was damaged rather biologically because the NDVI in 1 and 3 grade appeared low value whereas the LiDAR data in 1 and 3 grade included light physical damage like the LPD.

We have developed a rigorous heat treatment method to improve the biocompatibility of chitosan as a tissue-engineered scaffold. The chitosan scaffold was prepared by the controlled freezing and lyophilizing method using dilute acetic acid and then it was heat-treated at 110$^{\circ}C$ in vacuo for 1-3 days. To explore changes in the physicochemical properties of the heat-treated scaffold, we analyzed the degree of deacetylation by colloid titration with poly(vinyl potassium sulfate) and the structural changes were analyzed by scanning electron microscopy, Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy, wide-angle X-ray diffractometry (WAXD), and lysozyme susceptibility. The degree of deacetylation of chitosan scaffolds decreased significantly from 85 to 30% as the heat treatment time increased. FT-IR spectroscopic and WAXD data indicated the formation of amide bonds between the amino groups of chitosan and acetic acids carbonyl group, and of interchain hydrogen bonding between the carbonyl groups in the C-6 residues of chitosan and the N-acetyl groups. Our rigorous heat treatment method causes the scaffold to become more susceptible to lysozyme treatment. We performed further examinations of the changes in the biocompatibility of the chitosan scaffold after rigorous heat treatment by measuring the initial cell binding capacity and cell growth rate. Human dermal fibroblasts (HDFs) adhere and spread more effectively to the heat-treated chitosan than to the untreated sample. When the cell growth of the HDFs on the film or the scaffold was analyzed by an MTT assay, we found that rigorous heat treatment stimulated cell growth by 1.5∼1.95-fold relative to that of the untreated chitosan. We conclude that the rigorous dry heat treatment process increases the biocompatibility of the chitosan scaffold by decreasing the degree of deacetylation and by increasing cell attachment and growth.

In this paper a concept of the paradigm shift in the operations of Water and Wastewater systems regarding the production and usage of water was introduced. Based on this concept the interrelationships between the water quality in the upper basin of NakDong River relative to Busan and the degree of satisfaction of the customers on the water supply service in Busan were modeled using the System Dynamics modeling methodology. SamRangJin basin area was determined as the upper basin of Busan after analyzing the relationships between the water quality of MoolGeum water intake point and water quality data of various mid- and upper water intake points along NakDong River. The amount of contaminants generated in SamRangJin basin was modeled using the Gross Regional Domestic Product in the area and the treated amount was calculated using the efficiency of wastewater treatment and the degree of improvement of environmental condition per investment. The water quality at MoolGeum water intake point was modeled to take the effects of the remaining amount of contaminants after treatment and the non-point source contaminants in SamRangJin basin. Using the developed System Dynamics model the effects of the investment for the improvement of environmental condition in SamRangJin basin were compared to the case of alternate water source development for Busan in terms of the degree of satisfaction of the customers on the water supply service in Busan.

많은 정보보호 분야 연구들은 인식을 높여야 할 필요성을 밝히고 있다. 그러나 정보보호에 대한 인식이 상당한 수준으로 높아졌음에도 실제 보호행동은 최근까지 그에 미치지 못하고 있다. 이에 인식수준과는 별개로 정보보호 의사결정에 심리적 요인이 작용할 것으로 가정하고 정보보호에 대한 인식에 차이가 없는 실험상황에서 심리적 거리감과 낙관편향에 따른 차이를 확인하고 정보보호 행동에 대한 영향을 확인하고자 하였다. 연구결과 모바일 기기 사용자의 확률적 거리감에 따라 정보보호 위험의 지각에 차이가 있었으며, 사회적 거리감에 따라 상대적 낙관성의 정도에 차이가 있었다. 이를 바탕으로 상대적 낙관성을 개념화하고 정보보호 행동의도와의 관계를 분석한 결과 자신과 가까운 사람과 비교해 더 낙관적이라 생각했을 때 정보보호 위험의 수준을 낮게 평가하고 확률적 거리감에 따라 영향력이 달라짐을 확인했다. 본 연구는 방법론적 측면에서 의미 있는 시도를 하였고, 정보보호와 관련한 행동에 있어 심리적 요인을 고려함으로써 실질적 위험지각에 영향을 미치는 상대적 낙관성의 범위를 좁혔다는 데 의의가 있다. 정보보호를 위한 의사결정 과정에 다각도로 접근할 필요성을 실증적으로 규명함으로써 궁극적으로 정보기술 사용자의 정보보호 수준 향상과 정보자산의 보호에 기여할 것으로 기대한다.

목적: RGP 렌즈의 디자인 개발 및 처방을 위한 기초자료를 제공하고자 20대의 각막 형상을 형태별, 난시도별, 각막 정점으로부터의 거리별로 분석하였다. 방법: 각막 지형도 검사(corneal topography)를 이용하여 20대 총 252안의 각막형태를 분류하고 각막 정점으로부터 일정 간격 내의 각막곡률반경을 측정한 후 난시도에 따라 비교 분석하였다. 결과: 20대의 각막형태는 원형 14.3%(36안), 타원형 31.3%(79안), 대칭 나비형 28.6%(72안), 비대칭 나비형 17.5%(44안), 부정형 8.3%(21안)로 분류되었다. 원형 및 타원형 각막은 각막난시도가 낮은 경우가 많은 반면 대칭 나비형 및 비대칭 나비형 각막은 높은 경우가 많았다. 각막 정점에서 일정 간격으로 각막곡률반경을 측정하였을 때 원형 및 타원형 각막에서는 각 구간별로 상대적인 각막곡률반경이 난시도와 상관없이 모두 일관되게 증가하는 양상을 보였다. 대칭 나비형 및 비대칭 나비형 각막에서는 각막 정점으로부터 반경 1.0-1.5 mm 범위의 상대 각막 곡률반경이 감소하여 반경 1.0 mm 이내보다 오히려 급경사를 이루었으며 이러한 양상은 난시도에 따라 차이가 있었다. 난시도 1.50-2.00 D 및 2.25-2.75 D의 나비형 각막에서는 반경 3.5 mm부터 각막 곡률의 변화가 더 심하게 나타났다. 결론: 각막 형상 및 난시 정도에 따라 각막 중심부에서 주변부로의 각막곡률반경의 변화 정도가 달라짐을 보이므로 RGP 렌즈의 제조 및 처방시 이에 대한 고려가 필요하리라 여겨진다.

본 논문에서는 시계열 데이타 클러스터링에서 DFT 진폭 기반의 프라이버시 보호 기법을 제안한다. 기존의 프라이버시 보호 연구인 DFT 계수 기법은 원본과 유사한 데이타가 복원될 수 있어 프라이버시 보호 측면에서 큰 문제점이 있다. 반면에, 제안한 DFT 진폭 기법은 DFT 변환 후에 위상을 제외한 진폭만을 사용함으로써 원본 데이타를 복원하기 매우 어려운 특징을 가진다. 본 논문에서는 우선 기존의 DFT 계수 기법이 복원이 용이한 함수이고, 제안한 DFT 진폭 기법이 복원이 어려운 함수임을 체계적으로 설명한다. 다음으로, 클러스터링 정확도를 대신하고 진폭을 선택하기 위한 척도로서 거리-순서 보존정도의 개념을 제안한다. 거리-순서 보존 정도는 객체들의 상대적 순서가 클러스터링 보호 함수의 적용전후에 얼마나 보존되는지의 척도를 나타낸다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 거리-순서 보존 정도의 개념을 사용하여 DFT 진폭 기법에서 진폭을 선택하는 탐욕적 전략들을 제시한다. 즉, 제안한 탐욕적 전략은 거리-순서 보존 정도를 극대화하는 방향으로 DFT 진폭을 선택하여, 궁극적으로 클러스터링 정확도를 높이고자 하는 방법이다. 마지막으로 실험을 통해 제안한 거리-순서 보존 정도가 클러스터링 정확도를 대신할 수 있는 척도임을 보인다. 또한, 제안한 DFT 진폭 기법의 탐욕적 전략들이 기존의 DFT 계수 기법에 비해 정확도가 크게 떨어지지 않음을 확인한다. 이 같은 결과를 달 때, 제안한 DFT 진폭 기법은 DFT 계수 기법에 비해 프라이버시 보호 정도를 크게 개선했을 뿐 아니라 비교적 정확한 클러스터링 정확도를 보이는 우수한 연구 결과라 사료된다.
