This study describes the reliability of pragmatic combinations of acupuncture points for lateral epicondylalgia (LE) as prescribed by physiotherapists who were experts in acupuncture. Raters (n = 14; 33-59 years) independently prescribed acupuncture points for 30 simulated human patients with LE who were surveyed via a printed questionnaire. The frequency and cooccurrence of acupuncture points prescribed for patients with lateral epicondylitis were assessed. Absolute agreement and Light's kappa (${\kappa}_{Light}$) with 95% confidence interval (CI) were used to quantify the interrater agreement. Raters prescribed 103 unique acupuncture points in different combinations with a median (min-max) of 5 (0-11) acupuncture points. The most prescribed acupuncture point was LI-11 (297 of 420; 71%), and the most common cooccurring acupuncture points were LI-11 and LI-4 (160 of 420; 38%). The absolute agreement for prescribing the acupuncture points ranged from 70% (point GB-20) to 0% (points LI-10, SP-6, LI-11, GB-34, LI-12, and LI-4). Point LR-3 showed the highest interrater reliability for prescribing the acupuncture points [${\kappa}_{Light}=0.112$, 95% CI = (0.055-0.194)], whereas point LI-4 showed the lowest reliability [${\kappa}_{Light}=-0.003$, 95% CI = (-0.024 to 0.024)]. These findings suggest that pragmatic prescriptions of acupuncture points for LE are unreliable among physiotherapists who are experts in acupuncture. Explicit, high-level evidence-based rules for prescribing and teaching combinations of acupuncture points for LE are warranted.

Severe acute alcoholic liver disease (SAAH) unresponsive to medical therapy shows one-year-mortality rates of up to 90%. Most transplant centers request six months of alcohol abstinence prior to transplantation, the so-called "6-month rule." This regulation is not based on strong evidence, repeatedly making it a topic of controversial debates. The majority of patients with SAAH will die before fulfilling the 6-month rule. Therefore, liver transplantation (LT) protocols are becoming more flexible towards the rigid abstinence regulation, especially concerning SAAH patients. We conducted a literature review regarding LT in SAAH and its outcomes, including post-transplant mortality and recidivism. We studied available data on PubMed from 2011 and onwards whilst including articles dealing with genetic components, medical therapy and historic snapshots of alcoholism. Emerging studies recommend LT in SAAH not responding to medical therapies even without realizing the required abstinence period, since the majority of these patients would die within 6 months. SAAH without response to medical therapy has one-year-mortality rates of up to 90%. The 6-month rule is not based on strong evidence and is repeatedly a topic of controversial debates. There is genetic linkage to alcoholism and medical therapy is not as effective as estimated, yet. The 6-months-regulation has not shown to evidently decrease the risk of recidivism post-LT, which is a lifesaving treatment in SAAH patients. Insisting on rigid sobriety rules results in excluding patients with a low risk of recidivism from being transplanted. Moreover, the genetic linkage of alcoholism must be recognized.

본 논문은 사이버 작전 상황을 직관적으로 이해하기 위한 사이버 군대부호를 제안한다. 현재 사용하고 있는 군대부호들은 사이버 작전을 고려하지 않고 물리적 작전만을 고려하여 표준화되었다. 미군의 합동군대부호 표준인 MIL-STD-25 25D에서는 일부 사이버 작전을 위한 부호들이 포함되어 있으나 영문자 3자로 구성된 아이콘만이 표준화되어 있다. 따라서 사이버 작전을 효과적으로 표현하는데 한계가 있다. 이러한 이유로 본 논문은 현존하는 군대부호 생성 규칙에 부합하는 사이버 작전을 위한 군대 부호를 제안한다. 단지 군대부호만을 제시하는 것에 그치지 않고 제안하는 부호의 효용성을 증명하기 위해 제안하는 부호를 사용하여 다양한 사이버 상황을 표현한 예제도 함께 제시한다. 본 논문에서 제안한 부호들이 모든 사이버 상활을 표현할 수는 없으나, 제안한 부호들을 기반으로 더 많은 부호들이 향후 표준화될 수 있을 것으로 기대한다.

Purpose Based on the development of artificial intelligence and big data technologies, the RegTech has been emerged to reduce regulatory costs and to enable efficient supervision by regulatory bodies. The word RegTech is a combination of regulation and technology, which means using the technological methods to facilitate the implementation of regulations and to make efficient surveillance and supervision of regulations. The purpose of this study is to describe the recent adoption of RegTech and to provide basic examples of applying RegTech to capital market regulations. Design/methodology/approach English-based ontology and deep learning technologies are quite developed in practice, and it will not be difficult to expand it to European or Latin American languages that are grammatically similar to English. However, it is not easy to use it in most Asian languages such as Korean, which have different grammatical rules. In addition, in the early stages of adoption, companies, financial institutions and regulators will not be familiar with this machine-based reporting system. There is a need to establish an ecosystem which facilitates the adoption of RegTech by consulting and supporting the stakeholders. In this paper, we provide a simple example that shows a procedure of applying RegTech to recognize and interpret Korean language-based capital market regulations. Specifically, we present the process of converting sentences in regulations into a meta-language through the morpheme analyses. We next conduct deep learning analyses to determine whether a regulatory sentence exists in each regulatory paragraph. Findings This study illustrates the applicability of RegTech-based ontology and deep learning technologies in Korean-based capital market regulations.

In 2004, India began investing in the clinical trial industry; the country now boasts a 20% market share with the help of a valuable resource - the world's second largest population. The Contract Research Organization has been able to generate profits efficiently conducting clinical trials via a large pool of participants, skilled researchers, and reduced developmental costs. As the demand and sheer number of global clinical trials increased, the International Council of Harmonization-Good Clinical Practice was introduced, and the need for the Institutional Review Board increased. While the clinical trial industry in India boomed, it came at the expense of the participants' civil rights. The increased media attention regarding the ethical issues forced the Indian Supreme Court to take action. Consequently, India is the only country, by law, that specifically compensates participants suffering from injury directly resulting from participation in clinical trials. This research paper will describe and compare the relevant laws of India and Korea including compensation criteria. In addition, the ethical issues and aspects of indemnity in clinical trials will be discussed. While the clear advantage of the compensation is one of the protected rights of a clinical subject, the current system is not perfect. Furthermore, laws created to redeem ethical issues can have unintended, negative consequences.

Plato's philosophical importance in western thinking history cannot be understated. Especially his dichotomy system became common to the European traditions of philosophical and scientific discourses by assigning principal value to the presence that is opposed to the absence. Since the ancient Greeks, the concept of presence has been expressed itself in number of ways such as God, Truth, Logos, and center. Derrida called this European thinking "the metaphysics of presence." In order to analyze logocentrism also called the metaphysics of presence in No Telephone to Heaven, I used the term, paralogy that Aristotle did not accept as rules of argumentation but that Lyotard revived it positively as the principle of reason. Lyotard's incredulity towards rationalist theory of modernism is that knowledge can never be certain. Without any ultimate validity, certainty is impossible. Nevertheless, as Fanon said, the colonial world is dominated with a traditional Manichaean world. As a result what remains to the colonized to establish their identities is that of an armed struggle towards the colonizer even though they know it results in the vicious circle of hatred endlessly. Cliff attempted to show this message in her text through the tragic heroine, Clare Savage. Cliff's another critique of modernism's rationalism is shown through the ambiguous sexuality of Harry/Harriot. In this novel, gender plays also a central role by questioning the traditional binary system of sexuality. In this paper, I deconstructed this traditional gender system in terms of Bulter's concept of performitivity. This study will give the text another layer of deconstructive interpretation echoing with the proverb, one tree cannot make a forest.

This paper aims to study Thai democratic deepening and the constitutional engineering with the analytical concepts of 'power sharing' and 'accountability' focusing on the 1997 and 2007 Constitution. With regard to power sharing, the 1997 Constitution had the characteristics of majoritarian principle including a two-party system, strengthening of prime minister and the executive's power etc. It enhanced significantly the aspects of accountability compared with the previous constitutions. The institutions such as Constitutional Court, Commission on Election, Administration Court, Commission on Human Right, Ombudsman, Commission on Anti-corruption, and the Measure for Anti-money Laundering were established by the 1997 Constitution. However, such empowered accountability system were often abused by the political power groups in the political process. The 2007 Constitution has the characteristics of consensual principle including a multiparty system, proportional representation system, weakened prime minister's power, balancing of cabinet and parliament's power, pushing ahead with decentralization. However, the consensual principle of the 2007 Constitution came, in part, from the factional interests. It is similar to the 1997 Constitution in terms of accountability system, which enhanced in law but abused often in practice. One of the critical reasons for the failure of the 1997 and 2007 constitutions to consolidate democratic system was the political game played around the so-called network for the monarchy composed by the military, the civilian bureaucracy, Constitutional Court and the privileged classes. The future of the Thai democratic deepening depends on the constitutional engineering in which the factional interests should be excluded, and the rules of power sharing and accountability which traditionally played around the network for the monarchy should be effectively institutionalized.

최근 인터넷 그리고 네트워크는 사회를 구성하는 필수적인 인프라로 여겨짐과 동시에 이에 대한 보안 위협 상황이 지속적으로 증대되고 있다. 그러나 네트워크에서 실제 패킷을 전송하는 스위치 단에서는 기본적으로 고정적인 룰에 의한 방화벽 혹은 네트워크 접근 제어를 통해서만 보안 위협을 대응할 수 있어, 보안 위협에 대한 효과적인 대응은 네트워크 자체에서는 극히 제한적이며, 능동적으로 대처하지 못하고 있다. 본 논문에서는 네트워크 데이터 평면 프로그래밍 언어인 P4(Programming Protocol-independent Packet Processor)를 통해 네트워크 내 모든 플로우를 P4 스위치 단에서 실시간으로 모니터링하고, 특정 보안 공격 패킷을 스위치 단에서 처리함으로써, 네트워크 단에서 분산 DDoS 공격, IP Spoofing 공격 등을 대응할 수 있는 인-네트워크 (In-Network) 보안 관리 방법을 제안한다. 또한 네트워크 사용자 혹은 보안 관리자의 운영 정책을 SDN (Software-Defined Networking) 제어기를 통해 P4 스위치에서 적용함으로써, 다양한 네트워크 응용 환경에서의 보안 요구 사항을 반영할 수 있다.

COVID-19에 따른 온라인 마케팅의 활성화는 디지털 트랜스포메이션 가속화를 촉진하고 있다. 본 연구는 디지털 트랜스포메이션 역량이 부족하고 COVID-19로 수입 감소를 겪고 있는 중소 베이커리 기업의 10년간 매출 데이터로 Apriori 알고리즘을 사용하여 연관규칙분석을 수행했다. 분석 결과 오프라인 마켓 중심에서 온·오프라인 B2B, B2C 시장으로 전환하고, 다품종 소량 판매에서 소품종 대량판매 전략을 취하는 것이 경영 개선을 할 수 있는 것으로 나타났다. 향후 다각화된 마케팅 전략에 따른 다양한 채널의 판매 데이터를 분석하고 학습하면 많은 중소기업의 디지털 전략 대응을 위한 가이드라인이 될 수 있을 것이다.

본 연구에서는 COVID-19의 영향과 온라인 시장을 중심으로 구매패턴이 변화하는 현 경영환경의 시대에서 온라인 배송업체의 구매정보와 상품정보를 기반으로 군집분석과 연관성 분석을 실시하였다. 고객군집, 상품군집, 그리고 교차결합을 통해 데이터를 세분화시켜 결합군집을 생성하여 학문적으로 새로운 방안의 군집분석을 시도하였으며, 각각의 군집분석 결과를 토대로 연관성 분석을 하였다. 연관성 분석 결과, 상대적으로 결합군집에서 더 많은 연관 규칙이 도출 되었으며, 중복률은 더 적은 것으로 분석되어 효율성이 매우 높은 것으로 나타났다. 이는 고객의 니즈에 맞게 상품을 추천하기 위해서는 결합군집이 가장 적합한 모델이라고 판단된다. 결합군집 모델은 소비자에겐 시간 절약과 유용한 정보를 제공하면서, 해당 업체에는 판매량을 증가시키는 등의 긍정적인 효과를 가져올 것으로 사료된다. 향후 연구과제로써, 다양한 특성을 갖고 있는 다수의 온라인 배송업체들을 대상으로 비교·분석한다면 좀 더 명확하고 유의미한 연구결과를 도출할 수 있을것으로 기대된다.
