Background: Stomach cancer is the fourth most common cancer and the second leading cause of death from cancer in the world. In Iran, this type of cancer has high rates of incidence and mortality. This study aimed to assess the survival rate of patients with stomach cancer and its determinants in Kurdistan, a province with one of the highest incidence rates of stomach cancer in the country. Materials and Methods: We studied a total of 202 patients with stomach cancer who were admitted to Tohid Hospital in Sanandaj from 2009 to 2013. Using Kaplan-Meier nonparametric methods the survival rate of patients was calculated in terms of different levels of age at diagnosis, gender, education, residential area, occupation, underweight, and clinical variables including tumor histology, site of tumor, disease stage, and type of treatment. In addition, we compared the survival rates using the log-rank test. Finally, Cox proportional hazards regression was applied using Stata 12 and R 3.1.0 software. The significance level was set at 0.05. Results: The mean age at diagnosis was $64.7{\pm}12.0$ years. The survival rate of patients with stomach cancer was 43.9% and 7% at the first and the fifth year after diagnosis, respectively. The results of log-rank test showed significant relationships between survival and age at diagnosis, education, disease stage, type of treatment, and degree of being underweight (P<0.05). Moreover, according to the results of Cox proportional hazards regression model, the variables of education, disease stage, and type of treatment were associated with patient survival (P<0.05). Conclusions: The survival rate of patients with stomach cancer is low and the prognosis is very poor. Given the poor prognosis of the patients, it is critical to find ways for early diagnosis and facilitating timely access to effective treatment methods.

임신기 구강관리와 영아의 구강관리에 대한 지식은 구강병을 예방하기 위하여 가장 기본이 되는 것이며, 구강관리는 습관화 되는 과정이라는 점을 감안할 때 이 시기의 관리가 무엇보다도 중요하다고 할 수 있다. 그러므로 연구자들은 임부들의 영아구강관리에 대한 지식을 살펴보고, 영유아기 우식증에 대한 인식정도를 파악하며, 임부들의 구강관리지식에 대한 잘못된 내용 포함정도를 살펴보기 위해 서울시 보건소와 유관업체에서 주관하는 임산부 건강교실에 참가한 임부 330명을 무작위 표본추출하여 개별면접방식으로 진행한 연구를 통해 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. 1. 임부들이 구강병을 중대한 문제로 생각하고 있는 비율은 82% 이었고, 잇솔질의 중요성을 인식하고 있는 비율은 94% 이었다. 2. 영유아기 우식증을 인지하고 있는 비율은 42% 이었고, 임신경험별로 통계적으로 유의한 차이가 인정되었다(p<0.05). 3. 영유아기 우식증 원인 중 잘못된 수유습관을 인지하고 있는 비율은 58% 이었고, 잘못된 모유습관에 의한 우식발생 가능성에 대한 인지율은 43% 이었으며, 임신경험별로 통계적으로 유의한 차이가 인정되었다(p<0.05). 4. 임신 중 태아는 모체의 치아로부터 칼슘을 빼앗아 간다고 인지하는 비율이 82% 이었다. 5. 임신 중 치과치료를 금하는 것이 안전하다고 인지하는 비율은 71% 이었다. 영아구강관리 및 임신기 구강관리에 대한 정확한 지식을 습득하고 있는 비율이 상대적으로 낮았고, 임신기 구강건강증진을 위한 프로그램의 개발과 정확한 구강관리 정보를 체계적으로 제공해 줄 수 있는 기회의 마련이 시급하다고 검토되었다.

본 논문에서는 한국 근대사회 대중문화의 신총아(新寵兒)로 자리매김 된 만화의 특징을 분석하고 그 사회적 의미를 밝혀 한국만화의 역사적 위상 정립을 위한 연구를 목적으로 하였다. 만화가 학문으로서 연구 영역을 확대하고, 한국 사회 속에서 독특한 대중문화장르로 자리매김하기 위해서는 태동기부터 한국만화가 갖는 역사적 위상을 고찰하고 정립해 나가는 것이 필요하다. 만화는 시각문화로 문맹률 높던 근대한국사회에서 커뮤니케이션 매체의 목적을 훌륭하게 실현한 장르였다. 이 시기 근대만화의 등장은 격변기(激變期) 대중을 계도(棨導)하며 주권회복운동을 펼쳐 나갔던 개화파 지식인들에게 중요한 선전 ${\cdot}$ 교육의 도구였으며, 역으로 친일의 수단이 되기도 하였다. 또 영리를 목적으로 매체를 운영하던 신문사(출판사)들에게는 중요한 독자 확보의 수단이었다. 이러한 측면에서 본 논문은 1900년대 초반부터 1945년 일제강점기에서 해방을 맞는 시기까지를 한국만화의 태동기로 보고 그 특징을 밝혀 보고자 한 것이다.

이 논문은 한국에서 나노기술이 도입되고 확산되는 과정을 정부정책, 교육 연구기반 확대, 그리고 사회적 수용의 측면에서 파악하고 그 특징을 파악하려고 시도한다. 이를 위해 미국이 <국가나노기술계획>을 발표한 후 우리나라 정부의 정책적 대응 방식과 언론 매체를 통해 이루어진 나노기술 소개, 그리고 정부의 지원 정책의 영향을 받은 나노기술 교육 및 연구 기반 확대의 과정을 분석했다. 그 결과 한국의 나노기술의 성장은 새로운 정책 수립의 필요성이라는 사회적 맥락 속에서 정부가 주도적인 역할을 하면서 촉발되었고 빠른 속도로 진행되었다. 정보통신기술이나 생명공학기술과 달리 나노기술의 위험에 대한 지적이나 비판적 논의가 형성되지 못한 가운데 나노기술은 매우 긍정적인 미래 기술의 이미지를 얻었고 기술영향평가와 같은 내용은 소홀하게 다루어졌다. 이는 한편으로는 정부와 언론 중심으로 나노기술에 대한 담론이 형성된 데 따른 결과이며 다른 한편으로는 나노기술이 큰 사회적 저항 없이 빠르게 성장할 수 있었던 배경 중 하나로 작용했다.

Background: The incidence of breast cancer is rapidly increasing in Yemen with recent indications of constituting one-third of female cancers. The main problem in Yemen remains very late presentation of breast cancer, most of which should have been easily recognisable. Since stage of disease at diagnosis is the most important prognostic variable, early diagnosis is an important option to be considered for control of breast cancer in low resourced settings like Yemen. In the present study, we aimed at describing breast cancer knowledge, perceptions and breast self-examination (BSE) practices among a sample of Yemeni women. Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional study covered 400 women attending four reproductive health centres in Aden, Yemen through face-to-face interview using a structured questionnaire during April - July 2014. We collected data on sociodemographic characteristics, knowledge about breast cancer, and screening practices as well as respondents' perceptions based on the five sub scales of the Health Belief Model (HBM): perceived susceptibility; perceived severity; perceived barriers; perceived benefits; and self-efficacy. The response format was a five-point Likert scale. Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS 20) was used for statistical analysis. Statistical significance was set at p<0.05. Logistic regression analysis was conducted with BSE as a dependent variable. Results: The mean age of women was 26.5 (S.D=5.6) years. The majority (89.0%) had never ever performed any screening. Two-thirds of respondents had poor knowledge. Perceived BSE benefits and self-efficacy and lower BSE barriers perception were significant independent predictors of BSE practice. Conclusions: Poor knowledge and inadequate BSE practices are prevailing in Yemen. The need for implementing culturally sensitive targeted education measures is mandatory in the effort to improve early detection and reduce the burden of breast cancer.

The aim of this study was to examine the knowledge and awareness of women in Kuwait with regard to risk factors, symptoms and diagnostic procedures of breast cancer. A total of 521 questionnaires were distributed among women in Kuwait. Results showed that 72% of respondents linked breast cancer factors to family history, while 69.7% scored abnormal breast enlargement as the most detectable symptom of the disease. Some 84% of participants had heard about self-examination, but knowledge about mammograms was limited to 48.6% and only 22.2% were familiar with diagnostic procedures. Some 22.9% of respondents identified the age over 40 years as the reasonable age to start mammogram screening. Risk factor awareness was independent on age groups (p>0.05), but both high education and family history increased the likelihood of postivie answers; the majority knew about a few factors such as aging, pregnancy after age 30, breast feeding for short time, menopause after age of 50, early puberty, and poor personal hygiene. In conclusion, 43.1% of participants had an overall good knowledge of breast cancer with regards to symptoms, risk factors and breast examination. Very highly significant associations (p<0.005) were evident for all groups except for respondents distributed by nationality (p=0.444). Early campaigns for screening the breast should be recommended to eliminate the confusion of wrong perceptions about malignant mammary disease.

Purpose: To appraise the frequency of cervical cytological abnormalities in a population at normal risk via analysing the archive records of cytology for the period of approximately 9,5 years, comparing them with patient demographic charecteristics, and discuss the results for women under age of 35. Materials and Methods: A total of 32,578 cases of Pap smears were retrieved and analysed from our archive included the Pap tests performed between January 2001 and April 2010 at the Early Cancer Screening, Diagnosing and Education Center by the consent of three pathologists via utilizing the Bethesda System Criteria 2001 and the results were compared with some demographical characteristics. Results: Our rate of the cervical cytological abnormality was 1.83%, with ASCUS in 1.18%, LSIL in 0.39, HSIL in 0.16%, AGUS in 0.07%, squamous cell carcinoma in 0.02%, and adenoarcinoma in 0.006%. Cytological abnormalities were detected mostly in those with higher age, lower parity, and premenopausal period whereas the smoking status was without influence. Bacterial vaginosis (5.6%) was the most frequent infectious finding (Candida albicans 2.7%; Actinomyces sp. 1.3%; and Trichomonas vaginalis 0.2%) detected on the smears. The rate of abnormal cervical cytology was 9.5% among the women aged between 30-34. Conclusions: Early detection of the cervical abnormalities by means of the regular cervical cancer screening programmes is useful to attenuate the incidence, mortality, and morbidity of cervical cancer. Our prevalence of the cytological abnormalities was much lower than the one in Western populations in general but very similar to those reported from other Islamic countries that may be explained by the conservative lifestyle and the lower prevalence of HPV in Turkey. A remarkable rate of abnormal cervical cytology of women aged 30-34 was pointed out in the present study.

In this article I tried to take an overview of the training course of Chinese Archivists. The emphasis of this work lies on the development of the Archives College of Renmin. Univ. of China after the Cultural Revolution. It includes also the development in 1950's and early '60's. An overview of the Chinese development in 1950's and early '60's will be helpful for the development of Korean archival system, especially in training of archivists. What is necessary above all in our today's situation is to bring some experiences from the advanced countries in this field. It can be carried out in two ways : the empirical studies of archival development in foreign countries and the systematic translation of their publications. It also needs an establishment of professional institutes for the archival studies in Korea. In fact the professional archivists are now hardly found in Korea. Those scholars working in the archival areas now are not archival specialists in their academic origin. Because of the urgent needs some scholars of related fields, i.e. history and library science, take over the roles of researchers and instructors in archival studies. It is therefore very urgent to offer the environment where the archivists are able to devote themselves to research in archival science. In conclusion, we need to pursue the studies of archives to give order to the records we find in the long history of our archival tradition. By doing so, we can develop our own archival science in the end. This project, however, needs supports from the government for the formation of policies, securement of budget and collaboration between the related agencies to pave a way for the strong foundation of Korean archival studies. Without these supports it might take much more time then that Chinese have taken for the enhancement of their own archival studies.
