  • Objectives: University students's oral health care practice and oral health status are very important. Because its affect their systemic disease, so as to have confidence, and to be eager to study. However if they feel dental fear, they avoid dental treatment. It is miss opportunities of early treatment and prevention treatment and have little effect on dental treatment. The aim of this study was to investigate the factors influencing dental fear of university students to reduce their dental fear. Methods: A total of 366 self-administered questionnaires were collected from university student in Cheon-an. To investigate the factors influencing dental fear of university students, t-test, one-way ANOVA, correlation analysis, linear regression analysis were carried out by using SPSS ver. 18.0 Results: University students feel the most fear of specific dental stimuli. Especially, 'Feeling the needle injected'. University Students felt dental fear in order of 'fear of specific dental stimuli', 'physiologic arousal', 'avoidance fear'. 'Feeling the needle injected', they felt severe dental fear. 'My muscles become tense' of Symptoms they feel dental fear was the most frequent Sex affects avoidance fear, physiologic arousal, fear of specific dental stimuli and dental fear. Femal feel more its than male. The time since last dental clinic visit affects physiologic arousal, fear of specific dental stimuli and dental fear. Group do not visit the dental clinic within a year feel more its than others. Conclusions: To reduce dental fear in university students, it is necessary to make them visit dental clinics frequently and dental staffs consider their sex. Therefore, Department of dental hygiene and dentistry must be added the management of dental fear of the curriculum. In addition, it must be emphasized that to visit dental clinics frequently for university students.

  • Background: Surgical correction needs to be considered when diaphragm eventration leads to impaired ventilation and respiratory muscle fatigue. Plication to sufficiently tense the diaphragm by VATS is not as easy to achieve as plication by open surgery. We used pneumatic compression with carbon dioxide ($CO_2$) gas in thoracoscopic diaphragmatic plication and evaluated feasibility and efficacy. Methods: Eleven patients underwent thoracoscopic diaphragmatic plication between January 2008 and December 2013 in Pusan National University Hospital. Medical records were retrospectively reviewed, and compared between the group using $CO_2$ gas and group without using $CO_2$ gas, for operative time, plication technique, duration of hospital stay, postoperative chest tube drainage, pulmonary spirometry, dyspnea score pre- and postoperation, and postoperative recurrence. Results: The improvement of forced expiratory volume at 1 second in the group using $CO_2$ gas and the group not using $CO_2$ gas was $22.46{\pm}11.27$ and $21.08{\pm}5.39$ (p=0.84). The improvement of forced vital capacity 3 months after surgery was $16.74{\pm}10.18$ (with $CO_2$) and $15.6{\pm}0.89$ (without $CO_2$) (p=0.03). During follow-up ($17{\pm}17$ months), there was no dehiscence in plication site and relapse. No complications or hospital mortalities occurred. Conclusion: Thoracoscopic plication under single lung ventilation using $CO_2$ insufflation could be an effective, safe option to flatten the diaphragm.

  • This research analyzed the ventilation effect of the multi-span greenhouse based on the types of greenhouse structure, weather conditions, and locations inside the greenhouse. To compare and analyze the ventilation effects with different types of greenhouse, the uniform environmental conditions should be selected in advance. But these factors are not controlled and require tense many precision facilities and labor forces. Thus, the CFD simulation was used for the air stream to be analyzed qualitatively and quantitatively. In addition, for the ventilation effect analysis, the TGD (Tracer Gas Decay) was used to overcome the shortcomings of the current ventilation measurement method. The calculation error of ventilation rate using TGD was low (10.5%). Thus, the TGD is very effective in calculating the ventilation efficiency. The wind direction of 90 degrees showed the best ventilation effect. The ventilation rate also decreased along the air circulation path, and the rate was the lowest around the outlet. The computed fluid method (CFD) turned out to be a power tool for simulating flow behavior in greenhouse.

  • In the recent rapidly changing IT environment, the amount of smart digital data is growing exponentially. As a result, in many areas, utilizing big data research and development services and related technologies is becoming more popular. In SMART learning, big data is used by students, teachers, parents, etc., from a perspective of the potential for many. In this paper, we describe big data and can utilize it to identify scenarios. Big data, obtained through customized learning services that can take advantage of the scheme, is proposed. To analyze educational big data processing technology for this purpose, we designed a system for big data processing. Education services offer the measures necessary to take advantage of educational big data. These measures were implemented on a test platform that operates in a cloud-based operations section for a pilot training program that can be applied properly. Teachers try using it directly, and in the interest of business and education, a survey was conducted based on enjoyment, the tools, and users' feelings (e.g., tense, worried, confident). We analyzed the results to lay the groundwork for educational use of big data.

  • Through the study about Che-Qi-Jung(諸氣證) concerned with phenomenon of stress, we concluded as fallow. 1. Stressors are recognized three parts, internal cause, external cause, non-interexternal cause, in the oriental medicine. And the reaction of the body about stressors, was expressed change of Qi(氣). 2. The vascular system and autonomic nervous system are tensed or relexed. Because the etiology of Yuk-Em(六淫), Chil-Jeong(七情) make lose up and down, in and out, circulation of Gi(氣). The symtom caused with stress are explained, divided into Chil-Qi(七氣), Gu-Qi(九氣), Joong-Qi(中氣), Qi-Tong(氣痛), Qi-Yuk(氣逆), Qi-Wool(氣鬱). 3. The symtom of Chil-Qi is recognized into psycholoQical stress and Mae-Haek-Qi(梅核氣). The symtom of Gu-Qi is composed of Chil-Qi and Han(寒), Youl(熱), Ro(勞). 4. The symtoms of Qi-Yuk and Joong-Qi are caused by the ascent of Hwa-Qi(火氣). And Hwa-Qi is made by rage and depression. Qi-Yuk is chronic symtom that the ascent of Hwa-Qi is made by out of function in up and down mechanism of Qi. Joong-Qi is acute symtom that patholoQical state of Qi-Yuk take place for a while by sudden psycholoQical shock. 5. The symtom of Qi-Wool is loss of funtion made by depressed state in physioloQical mechanism, and Qi-Wool is observed in depressive psychosis and hypochondriasis and psychogenic. 6. The symtom of Qi-Tong is the pain caused by interference of circulation of Qi-Hyul(氣血). PsycholoQical stimulation such as rage and depression, tense autonomic nervous system. This make convulsion in gastro-intestine or vascular circuluation or abdominal muscles, and the pain is caused by convulsion.

  • The purpose of this study is to analyze the formative characteristics of power-shoulder jacket shown in 08/09 F/W and 09/10 F/W London, Paris, Milan, New York collection and extract main expression words for development of semantic differential scales of visual image according to the change in shoulder angle and width of power-shoulder jacket. The result of this study is as follows. Power-shoulder jacket which were worn by 1980 business women have similar cutting with men's suit jacket, but have characteristics of exaggerating the body figure as exaggerated shoulder with pad and tight waist like an inverted triangle silhouette. Power-shoulder jackets shown in collections used glossy and glittering material and dark colors and formed slim silhouette with matches of shoulder line of temperate senses and casual wear. Like this, the power-shoulder jacket was expanded to daily casual wear from traditional formal wear. Main expression words of visual image of jackets according to the changes in angle and width of shoulder differ greatly depending on the expansion degree of angle and width of shoulder. Changes in shoulder angle may look tense, stiff and too much according to the amount of changes. However, it also has the image of sharp but dignified and charismatic. Also, it helps to show body figure more efficiently like being slim and looking taller. Related to the current trend emphasizing shoulder among women, it is evaluated to be stylish and trendy. When the expansion degree is not too much, changes in shoulder width partly show slim and slender waist under the influence of wider shoulder with basic tailored jacket image. However, when the expansion degree is enlarged, image related to the body figure is more definite compared to other visual images.

  • The Mahan's seapower theory has been the basis of US Navy to date as it can enjoy the supremacy status in all of the seas of the world. His theory is very straightforward. A nation can be a great country in the world just through the use of maritime commerce that could be protected by a strong and powerful navy. Mahan's theory on seapower was substantiated in the Spanish-American War with respect to how important the naval power is. The best thing to make US a great nation was to make sure that flow of international trade is smooth, and the unhindered trade could be made possible only by the destruction of enemy's fleet that may obstruct the SLOCs. That's why Mahan insisted that a strong navy was needed and a decisive battle by the navy's fleet at sea should be encouraged as a way of ensuring the safety of the SLOCs. The newly-arrived Trump administration seems to be in line with the Mahan's theory seapower in its policy on naval forces structure. It is expected that US will continue to support the Pivot to Asia policy that has been adopted by the previous administration through an increase in its naval fleet forces. The number of US navy ships will be 355 in 2030, rendering it much more powerful navy than before. The catch phrase "3rd Fleet Forward" proposed by the president Trump indicates that two carrier strike groups will be present in the Asia Pacific region, being able to make the confrontation between US and China more tense than before. The presence of the US naval forces in the area may function as some sort of pressure against China that Trump insisted had been responsible for the closure of 60,000 factories and the loss of 3,000,000 jobs in the United States.

  • Background: Previous research has suggested that single doses of a standardised Panax ginseng extract can decrease fasted blood-glucose levels and modulate cognitive performance in healthy young volunteers. The latter has generally been seen in terms of improved secondary memory performance. However, both the cognitive effects of chronic administration of ginseng and the potential modulation of working memory have received comparatively little research attention. Aims: The current double-blind, placebo-controlled, balanced cross-over study investigated the effects of 8-weeks administration of Korean ginseng extract (200 mg) on cognitive performance, gluco-regulatory parameters and ratings of subjective mood and 'quality of life'. Methods: 'Eighteen healthy young participants were assessed pre-dose and 3 hours post-dose on the mornings of Day 1, Day 29 and Day 57 of 8 week treatment regimens of both placebo and ginseng. A four-week placebo wash-out separated the treatment phases. Each assessment included the Cognitive Drug Research battery, computerised working memory tasks, and Bond-Lader mood scales. The WHO Quality of Life scale (WHOQOL-BREF) was completed once per visit. Gluco-regulatory parameters were assessed with assays of blood glucose, insulin and HbA1c. Results: Data from the 16 participants that completed the study showed that there were no significant, acute treatment related differences on Day 1 of treatment, or in gluco-regulatory parameters throughout the study. However, time related performance improvements were evident following chronic administration of ginseng on the '3-Back' and 'Corsi-block' computerised working memory tasks. Ginseng was also associated with an improved score on the 'social relations' subscale of the WHOQOL-100, and a significant shift on the 'calm' factor of the Bond-Lader mood scales (from calm/relaxed towards excited/tense). Conclusion: The results of the current study suggest that Korean ginseng extract can modulate working memory performance and subjective ratings of 'quality of life' and mood. Replication with a larger sample size may further elucidate the actions of this product.

  • To understand the present states of abstracting and to investigate contents of abstracts, a survey content analysis was done in the field sciences. Of the 102 nation wide scholarly journals examined $54(53\%)$ included abstracts with articles. 33 had abstracts in Korea Among the 34 journals with editorial statements about abstracting only 13 had suggestions about abstract contents. Based on the investigation, 4 disciplines having abstracts mostly was selected and 149 abstracts in the 4 major journals in each discipline were sampled. Complete abstracts were ama;uzed according to 12 variables covering required content elements, unnecessary statements, and writing styles. Statistical characteristics of the abstracts is varied among disciplines and the scope is very wide. Particularly number of paragraph and number of character per abstract is much different from the standards. The content analysis showed $51\%$ of the abstracts were incomplete. $39\%$ of the abstracts did not mention research method used. 59 abstracts included unnecessary statements. Writing stle analysis also showed many faults both in the pronoun abuse and the misuse of voice or tense. Korean author abstracts in social science scholarly journals have deficiencies in linguistic structures as well as in contents and style.
