This study proposes learner participatory activities for learner-centered college liberal arts classes. In addition, it analyzes learners' perceptions of and satisfaction with learner-centered classes and identifies the issues that must be considered when planning learner-centered activities for college liberal arts classes. The study used a learner-centered participatory activity in which participants created a 4-cut cartoon addressing a specific theme. An open-ended questionnaire was administered to identify learners' attitudes about and satisfaction with the learner-centered classes. It showed that most learners (87.5%) were highly satisfied with the 4-cut cartoon creation activities in the learner-centered participatory class. Learners identified the burden- free nature of the class activities, the fact that they improved their understanding of class content, and that they were fun (not boring) as the main reasons they found the class activities satisfying. In liberal arts English classes, more diverse participatory class activities should be developed to arouse interest and motivation of learners and encourage learners' participation.

Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate long-term changes in the pharyngeal airway dimensions after functional appliance treatment in adolescents with skeletal Class II malocclusions. Methods: Pharyngeal airway dimensions were compared between subjects with skeletal Class II malocclusions (n = 24; mean age: $11.6{\pm}1.29$ years) treated with a Class II bionator and age-matched control subjects with skeletal Class I occlusions (n = 24; mean age: $11.0{\pm}1.21$ years) using a series of lateral cephalograms obtained at the initial visit (T0), after treatment (T1), and at the completion of growth (T2). Results: The length of the nasopharyngeal region was similar between adolescents with skeletal Class I and Class II malocclusions at all time points, while the lengths of the upper and lower oropharyngeal regions and the pharyngeal airway areas were significantly smaller in the skeletal Class II adolescents before treatment when compared to the control adolescents (p < 0.05). However, following treatment with a functional appliance, the skeletal Class II adolescents had increased pharyngeal airway dimensions, which became similar to those of the control subjects. Conclusions: Functional appliance therapy can increase the pharyngeal airway dimensions in growing adolescents with skeletal Class II malocclusions, and this effect is maintained until the completion of growth.

The current research aims to verify whether distance learning can be adopted in practical cooking class for Korean foods in a two-year college. The distance learning education can be a supplementary method to the traditional cooking class. The face-to-face teaching method and the distance learning method were compared in order to determine which of the one is more effective teaching method in the practical cooking class. The results of the present experimental study were analyzed based on the participant's learning expectation and satisfaction, the evaluation of the experimental process, and the academic performance. The results of this study showed that the participants in the face-to-face class evaluated their class experience higher than those in the distance learning class with respect to the participant's learning expectation and satisfaction, and the evaluation of the experimental process. On the contrary, regarding the academic performance, the participants in the distance learning class showed higher scores than those in the face-to-face class. The end result supports the claim that the distance learning method is more effective in the participants for gaining cooking knowledge.

The main targets for the immunosuppressive calcineurin inhibitors. tacrolimus (FK-506) and cyclosporine A (CsA). have been considered to be activated T cells. but not antigen presenting cells (APCs). In the present study. we examined the effects of these drugs on the MHC-restricted presentation of exogenously added antigen. ovalbumin (OVA). in dendritic cells (DCs). Particulate form of OVA was efficiently captured. processed and presented on class I MHC molecules (cross-presentation) as well as on class II MHC molecules. (omitted)

Objective: The aim of this study was to compare posterior tooth inclinations, occlusal force, and contact area of adults with different sagittal malocclusions. Methods: Transverse skeletal parameters and posterior tooth inclinations were evaluated using cone beam computed tomography images, and occlusal force as well as contact area were assessed using pressure-sensitive films in 124 normodivergent adults. A linear mixed model was used to cluster posterior teeth into maxillary premolar, maxillary molar, mandibular premolar, and mandibular molar groups. Differences among Class I, II, and III groups were compared using an analysis of variance test and least significant difference post-hoc test. Correlations of posterior dental inclinations to occlusal function were analyzed using Pearson's correlation analysis. Results: In male subjects, maxillary premolars and molars had the smallest inclinations in the Class II group while maxillary molars had the greatest inclinations in the Class III group. In female subjects, maxillary molars had the smallest inclinations in the Class II group, while maxillary premolars and molars had the greatest inclinations in the Class III group. Occlusal force and contact area were not significantly different among Class I, II, and III groups. Conclusions: Premolar and molar inclinations showed compensatory inclinations to overcome anteroposterior skeletal discrepancy in the Class II and III groups; however, their occlusal force and contact area were similar to those of Class I group. In subjects with normodivergent facial patterns, although posterior tooth inclinations may vary, difference in occlusal function may be clinically insignificant in adults with Class I, II, and III malocclusions.

Background: When we make treatment plan of class III malocclusion children, it is difficult to determine whether we treat it with orthognathic surgery or without orthognathic surgery. To determine that, we must consider many factors, such as cephalometric analysis, growth pattern, family history, and skeletal age. A Harvold cephalometric analysis is useful in determining the amount of discrepancy by comparing the maxillary unit length with mandibular, unit length. We tried this study to help the decision of treatment planning in class ill malocclusion children by comparison in class III malocclusion and normal occlusion children using a Harvold analysis. Materials and Methods: The materials for this study consisted of 20 class III malocclusion children. Cephalometric tracing and measurements were performed by one investigator. The control group consisted of 18 normal occlusion children and lateral cephalograms were obtained from 8.5 to 14.5 years old children biannually. The relationships between class III malocclusion group and normal occlusion group were evaluated statistically. Results: The lower anterior facial heights between two groups were not significantly different, although the lower anterior facial heights of class III malocclusion group was higher than those of normal occlusion group in all age groups. The Maxillary-mandibular unit length differences of class III malocclusion group were significantly higher than those of normal occlusion group(p<0.05). Conclusion: A Harvold analysis was useful to make treatment planning for class III malocclusion children.

Sulforaphane is an isothiocyanate found in cruciferous vegetables that has been reported to be an effective cancer preventive agent inducing growth arrest and/or cell death in cancer cells of various organs. This paper reports that sulforaphane exerts immunomodulatory activity on the MHC-restricted antigen presenting function. Sulforaphane efficiently increased the class II-restricted presentation of an exogenous antigen, ovalbumin (OVA), in both dendritic cells (DCs) and peritoneal macrophages in vitro. The class II-restricted OVA presentation-enhancing activity of sulforaphane was also confirmed using mice that had been injected with sulforaphane followed by soluble OVA. On the other hand, sulforaphane did not affect the class I-restricted presentation of exogenous OVA at concentrations that increase the class II-restricted antigen presentation. At a high concentration ($20\;{\mu}M$), sulforaphane inhibited the class I-restricted presentation of exogenous OVA. Sulforaphane did not affect the phagocytic activity of the DCs, and the cell surface expression of total H-$2K^b$, B7-1, B7-2 and CD54 molecules, even though it increased the expression of I-$A^b$ molecules to a barely discernable level. These results show that sulforaphane increases the class II-restricted antigen presenting function preferentially, and might provide a novel insight into the mechanisms of the anti-cancer effects of sulforaphane.

The purpose of this study is to demonstrate the subjective structure of classes for college students. This study was conducted using the Q-methodology, and 33 various items were selected through a comprehensive review and revision process. Forty college students were selected for the P sample. The results showed four types of perception regarding college classes: Type 1 (Substantial Class-Focused Type) includes those who want to be a mature person through college classes; Type 2 ( Practical Class-Focused Type) includes those who have an interest in college classes to develop their work skills; Type 3 (Educational Environment-Focused Type) includes those who feel class size, communication with teachers, and the educational system itself are important; and Type 4 (Personal Competence-Focused Type), which includes those who feel that the right to take classes in order to increase their competence without mandatory classes is very important. Therefore, this study aims to investigate the types of individuals in terms of college class perception, as well as to provide reference materials to improve educational innovation for college students.
