De Quervain's disease is a stenosing tenosynovitis that affects the synovial sheath of the tendons of the abductor pollicis longus and extensor pollicis brevis; it can be considered a work-related disease, since it frequently is associated with highly repetitive movements in jobs using the hands. The usual sign and symptom of de Quervain's diseases are positive Finkelstein's sign and pain and tenderness around the radial styloid process. The majority of de Quervain's disease has a good results to conservative treatment, but surgery can be performed in case of recurrence or pain last more than 6 months without improvement in spite of conservative treatment. We diagnosed a patient with atypical de Quervain's disease by ultrasonography, treated by local steroid injection and pain was relieved. We report a case of atypical de Quervain's disease evaluated by ultrasonography with brief of literatures.

An exclusive monopoly on public sector information has been faced with dramatic changes. The movement of Government 2.0, which is described as meeting of Web 2.0 technologies and public services, provides a new paradigm for public information services, and spreads rapidly into many western countries. However, due to the absence of domestic Government 2.0 cases, our academic discussion on Government 2.0 ends up in the introduction of oversea cases and in a theoretical diagnosis. In the context, this study focuses on the first two cases of Government 2.0 in South Korea; Gwacheon Parliament's 'Local Parliament 2.0' and Seoul Metropolitan Office of Education's 'Seoul Education 2.0' along with theoretical debates on concepts of public sector information and Government 2.0. The case study reveals the role of Freedom of Information Center not only as a think tank, but also a policy coordinator for implementing Government 2.0 movements. As a conclusion, the study presents elements for public sector information services and proposes a planning model of Government 2.0.

This study reviewed both consumer movement and consumer policy of government in Japan. Their evolution since the Second World War will be reviewed and compared multiple periods, after the Second World war till the late 1960s, the period of the 1970s, the period after 1980s. In addition, firms' consumer satisfaction policies were briefly reviewed in order to fully understand consumer protection activities in japan. This study found four major characteristics of consumer protection activities led by both voluntary consumer organizations and government. First, consumer protection policy of government in Japan after the late 1960s was more active than that of consumer movement by consumer organizations. Second, major concerns for consumer protection were variant over time. The major goal in the first stage of period(during the 1960s) was to protect consumer safety from defective and dangerous goods and services, whereas the goal after the late 1970s was extended to cover various areas concerning the quality of life. Those areas refer to the quality of services, the way of sales and marketing, pollution of environment, and the quality of consuming life. Third, this study found that computer networks, aiming at collecting and analyzing the very useful to improve the consuming life of Japanese by providing sufficient consumer information to encourge rational choices of consumers. Forth, a close cooperation between the central and local administrations was crucial for the successful outcome In Japan This paper gives us useful guideline regarding how to improve consumer movement and govemments' policies for protecting consumer in Korea. In addition, other lessons on successful consumer satisfaction policies of Japanese firms may enable Korean firms to shape effective consumer policies of enhancing their competitiveness.

Significant progress in the oil and gas industry advances the application of pipeline into an intelligent era, which poses rigorous requirements on pipeline safety, reliability, and maintainability, especially when crossing seismic zones. In general, strike-slip faults are prone to induce large deformation leading to local buckling and global rupture eventually. To evaluate the performance and safety of pipelines in this situation, numerical simulations are proved to be a relatively accurate and reliable technique based on the built-in physical models and advanced grid technology. However, the computational cost is prohibitive, so one has to wait for a long time to attain a calculation result for complex large-scale pipelines. In this manuscript, an efficient and accurate surrogate model based on machine learning is proposed for strain demand prediction of buried X80 pipelines subjected to strike-slip faults. Specifically, the support vector regression model serves as a surrogate model to learn the high-dimensional nonlinear relationship which maps multiple input variables, including pipe geometries, internal pressures, and strike-slip displacements, to output variables (namely tensile strains and compressive strains). The effectiveness and efficiency of the proposed method are validated by numerical studies considering different effects caused by structural sizes, internal pressure, and strike-slip movements.

Basuki Tjahaja Purnama, Jakarta's Ex-Governor, lost his re-election bid in 2017 and then was jailed on a charge of blasphemy. After his defeat, the rhetorics of Indonesian politics was divided into two opposing sides: anti-Communism and 'pribumi' of the radical Islamic movements and Pancasila of the Jokowi administration. Although Islamic political parties are now preoccupied with their own coalitional politics and survivals, rather than solidarity of Islamic forces, the rising Islamic sentiments confirmed by the Jakarta election indicate that religion will continue to be a key variable in Indonesian politics. Meanwhile, ex-military generals who declared themselves as candidates in the 2018 regional election and the 2019 presidential election, as well as a few measures used by the Jokowi administration against extra-parliamentary political opponents, remind us of Suharto's New Order. Steady growth continues in economy. The raise of minimum wage enlarged middle classes and led to a decline of the poverty rate. Jokowi's commitment to building infrastructure has made tangible achievements. Under these circumstances, enhanced cooperation between Indonesia and South Korea is laudable, though any such cooperation must fully incorporate local sociocultural contexts, such as the strengthened halal certification system.

Patent indicators were used to analyze the movements of local industries in order to derive blank technologies due to rapid changes in technology in the 4th Industrial Revolution and to discover promising technologies. Currently, Changwon-si is gathering a lot of technical information to develop hydrogen electric vehicle technology as a future regional flagship industry to discover it as a promising technology in the future. Collecting technical information has many problems in terms of time and cost due to classification methods, technical trends, and similar technologies. Therefore, a systematic classification of technical information and a method for easily deriving technical trends are needed. In this paper, we analyzed the blank technology and promising technology trends for the future core industries of the region through the method of measuring the growth rate of patents and the frequency of patent application through the patent indicators.

The most common method for estimating the uplifting rate is to measure the height of the coastal terraces. Coastal terraces are basically formed at the sea level position. During the Holocene age, both the height of the sea level and the coastal terrace are uncertain. The purpose of this paper is to clarify that the uplifting rate of the Korean Peninsula varies depending on the region, based on the height of sea level, the height of coastal terraces, and GPS observations. Gangwon-do and Jeolla-do provinces seem to have been stabilized at least since the beginning of the Holocene period. Overall distribution pattern of the uplifting rates on the Korean peninsula is likely to be related to the massifs. Of course, the boundaries of the massifs are faults, so the role of faults would be great. Essentially however, it is reasonable to consider that the difference in local uplift rates depends on the characteristics of the massif itself. The characteristics may include differences in response to stresses from tectonic movements, differences in crustal thicknesses, and so on.

Climate change and large-scale human interference increase flow instability due to changes in watershed flow and sediment transport patterns. There are local problems in solving problems related to sediments, namely the existence of specific problems at specific sites or areas, and the resolution of these problems is limited to short-term and regional, resulting in other temporal and spatial influences and impacts. Therefore, this study intends to introduce and propose a conceptual framework for comprehensive sediment management in terms of watershed scale for solving problems related to sediments in watersheds. In the watershed scale, comprehensive sediment management should be done, to do this, a comprehensive understanding of the movements of sediments accompanied by cooperation with science-policy-operation-residents should be given priority.

This paper aims at comparing the metanarrative and East Timor's local narrative in Indonesia during the Suharto's regime. Although these history writings have different political goals, the patterns of writings are ironically similar. Both of the history writings show strong nationalistic history writing patterns. Yet, in the writings, these histories place different interpretations on the historical events. In the metanarrative, local dynamics are seen through the diagrams of the nation and nationhood. This narrative finds the roots of the "ethnie" from some kingdoms in Java and Sumatra. These kingdoms, which throve based on the Hindu-Buddhist culture, achieved a territorial unity to a degree, covering some parts of Java and Sumatra. The glorious past disappeared with the advent of the colonial rule. The metanarrative then emphasizes the unity of the ethnic groups in the archipelago, which fiercely resisted against the colonial exploitation and oppression. By this, these ethnic groups were defined as "the masses," the collective identity, which had a same goal to achieve the national independence. In addition, some local histories, which took positive attitudes toward the European forces, were simply left out from the metanarrative. All the separatist movements taking place in the republic were also described as the anti-unifying forces. On the other hand, the goal of the history-writing in East Timor was to enhance the sense of nationalism and create the perception of the "East Timorese." The fundamental aim was the separation from Indonesia. In the narrative, the nationalist politicians overcame the problem of the non-existence of any memories of the glorious past with the awakening of the idea of "the imagined gloriousness of the past if there was no colonial rule." In addition, the narrative overemphasizes the memory of the colonial rule for 450 years under the Portuguese rule in order to stress the fact that it was the colony of Portugal, not of the Netherlands. Finally, the narrative shows how the East Timorese collectively fell to the status of slaves. By this, the political leaders of East Timor evoked the notion that it was recolonized by Indonesia, under which the East Timorese were demoted to the status of slaves. This notion of "slave-master" relationship then became the motives for the independence struggles in East Timor.

Spring phonology of the oriental fruit moth, Grapholita molesta, was monitored using sex pheromone traps in apple cultivating areas. Their occurrence was earlier in southern areas and their population sizes were significantly different among orchards even in a local cultivating zone. The overwintering populations appeared to move between local orchards, based on the fact that monitoring data obtained at the sites between orchards were similar to those of nearby orchards. However, within orchards, these adult movements appeared to decrease and showed skewed occurrences at the side of upwind direction or close to neighboring orchards. At initial occurrence peak(April 20-25), the ovenvintering populations of the different localities were collected and analyzed in their genetic distances. PCR-RAPD analysis indicated that there were significant genetic differences among the overwintering populations of G. molesta. This genetic differentiation of overwinterin populations may be due to genetic bottleneck following differential selection pressures against the subpopulations of G. molesta during winter on the basis of the RAPD analysis that each early spring population was significantly different to its previous fall population in the same locality.
