Dominik Abt,Livio Mordasini,Elisabeth Warzinek,Hans-Peter Schmid,Sarah Roberta Haile,Daniel Stephan Engeler,Gautier Müllhaupt 대한비뇨의학회 2015 Investigative and Clinical Urology Vol.56 No.5
Purpose: Temporary drainage of the upper urinary tract by use of internal ureteral stents is a common procedure that is often associated with a variety of symptoms. The role of intravesical stent position in associated morbidity is controversial. Materials and Methods: The German version of the ureteral stent symptom questionnaire (USSQ) was completed by 73 patients with an indwelling ureteral stent the day before stent removal. Intravesical stent position was classified into 3 categories by x-ray before stent removal. The influence of intravesical stent position on USSQ score was analyzed, including subscores and single items. Results: Intravesical stent position showed no significant influence on associated morbidity. The median USSQ total score in all patients was 77.5 (range, 30–147). Patients with ipsilateral stents (69.0; range, 30–122) tended to have lower total scores than did those with tangential (86.5; range, 30–122) or contralateral (77.0; range, 31–147) stents, but the differences were not statistically significant (p=0.35). The USSQ subscores for urinary symptoms (p=0.80), body pain (p=0.80), general health (p=0.16), work performance (p=0.07), additional problems (p=0.81), and all of the USSQ single items of interest in the context of stent length also did not differ significantly between the three groups. Conclusions: Intravesical stent position did not significantly influence associated morbidity in our study. An appropriate stent length should be chosen to avoid dislocation. However, complex calculations of optimum stent length, time-consuming manipulations, and costly stock holding of various stent sizes to obtain the perfect stent position do not seem worthwhile.

Precise calving monitoring is essential for minimizing the effects of dystocia in cows and calves. We conducted two studies in healthy cows that compared seven clinical signs (broad pelvic ligaments relaxation, vaginal secretion, udder hyperplasia, udder edema, teat filling, tail relaxation, and vulva edema) alone and in combination in order to predict the time of parturition. The relaxation of the broad pelvic ligaments combined with teat filling gave the best values for predicting either calving or no calving within 12 h. For the proposed parturition score (PS), a threshold of 4 PS points was identified below which calving within the next 12 h could be ruled out with a probability of 99.3% in cows (95.5% in heifers). Above this threshold, intermitted calving monitoring every 3 h and a progesterone rapid blood test (PRBT) would be recommended. By combining the PS and PRBT (if PS ≥ 4), the prediction of calving within the next 12 h improved from 14.9% to 53.1%, and the probability of ruling out calving was 96.8%. The PRBT was compared to the results of an enzyme immunoassay (sensitivity, 90.2%; specificity, 74.9%). The standard operating procedure developed in this study that combines the PS and PRBT will enable veterinarians to rule out or predict calving within a 12 h period in cows with high accuracy under field conditions.
Shadow Economy - The Impact of Regulation in OECD-countries
Dominik H. Enste 한국국제경제학회 2010 International Economic Journal Vol.24 No.4
A comprehensive regulation index covering five major fields (labour, product and capital market; education/innovation and the quality of institutions) has been used to analyse the relationship between the density of regulations and the size of shadow economies. The empirical results from 25 OECD countries for the time period 1995-2005 show that - apart from tax burden and tax morale - the main causes are labour and product market regulations, overall regulations and poor quality of official public institutions and administration. An overview of relevant findings on the impact of regulation on irregular activities complements these findings.
A Study on The Cryptosystem in a Trusted Computing Platform
Dominik Slezak 보안공학연구지원센터 2008 보안공학연구논문지 Vol.5 No.1
In this Information age computers are connected not only for exchange of information, they are also collaborate in various sophisticated ways which can be considered as advanced developments for distributed computing and yet with this collaboration securing data and communication remains a constant concern, particularly in face of threats to security such as hackers, viruses, theft or accidents. The issue of trust, with respect to the authentication of users, the integrity of data and application security is critical. Due to such pressing concern, this paper provides an introduction to Trusted computing, its platform, the threats to security, the benefits and Cryptography infrastructure in a Trusted computing platform as the enabling technologies to secure interactions among services.

Nowadays many different types of chips are used virtually everywhere in the real world. Sometimes, it is necessary to ensure that a certain chip meets specific requirements. For this reason, it is essential to examine various properties of chips; one of those can be, e.g., the chip security with respect to its physical structure. This paper contains an overview of methods for processing of chips – concretely: chip decapsulation, chip deprocessing, scanning of layers, microscopic analysis and image data analysis.

Congestive heart failure (HF) is a morbidity that is increasing worldwide due to the aging population and improvement in (acute) care for patients with cardiovascular diseases. The prognosis for patients with HF is very poor without treatment. Furthermore, (repeated) hospitalizations for cardiac decompensation cause an increasing economic burden. Modern drugs and the consequent implementation of therapeutic recommendations have substantially improved the morbidity and mortality of HF patients. This paper provides an overview of the current pharmacological management of HF patients, based on the 2016 guidelines of the European Society of Cardiology (ESC).
The Adoption of Kṣitigarbha and the Ten Kings of Hell in Shamanic Death Rituals in Korea
DOMINIK RUTANA 계명대학교 한국학연구원 2021 Acta Koreana Vol.24 No.1
By late Chosŏn times, the ideas of hell, punishment, and possible ways of salvation expressed in the Kṣitigarbha and the Ten Kings of Hell belief (chijang siwang sinang 地藏十王信仰) had not only deeply penetrated popular consciousness, but also gained so much popularity that they influenced other worldviews, including shamanism. Accordingly, Korean shamans started to adopt motifs derived from the belief into their mythology and ritual, something which is still visible today. The way Korean shamans adopted and applied motifs derived from the belief in Kṣitigarbha and the Ten Kings of Hell to death rituals like chinogi kut 진오기굿or ssikkim kut 씻김굿 varies from ritual to ritual but they serve as a medium that connects the present (isŭng 이승) and the otherworld (chŏsŭng 저승). Korean shamans use this medium, along with other symbols and deities such as Princess Pari, not only to explain and secure the ontological transformation of the deceased from worldly to otherworldly beings during the liminal process of the ritual, but also to meet the needs of their clients and make the ritual more persuasive. This amalgamation of Buddhist and shamanistic elements, a kind of bricolage, should be considered a creation of the specific mythical thought pattern of Korean shamans.

Precursor analysis is widely used in the nuclear industry to judge the significance of eventsrelevant to safety. However, in case of events that may damage equipment through effectsthat are not ordinary functional dependencies, the analysis may not always fully appreciatethe potential for further evolution of the event. For fires, which are one class of suchevents, this paper discusses modelling challenges that need to be overcome when performinga probabilistic precursor analysis. The events used to analyze are selected fromthe Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) Fire Incidents RecordsExchange (FIRE) Database.

Memantine and other glutamatergic agents have been currently investigated in some off-label indications due to glutamatergic involvement in several psychoneurological disorders. We assumed that memantine similarly to ketamine may positively influence mood, moreover having a potential to improve cognition and general quality of life. We report a case of a 49-year-old male hospitalized during a manic and a subsequent moderate depressive episode. After an ineffective use of lithium, olanzapine and antidepressive treatment with mianserin, memantine was added up to 20 mg per day for 10 weeks. The mental state was assessed using the Hamilton Depression Rating Scale, the Young Mania Rating Scale, the Hamilton Anxiety Scale, the Clinical Global Inventory, the World Health Organization Quality of Life Scale and psychological tests. After 10 weeks the patient achieved a partial symptomatic improvement in mood, anxiety and quality of sleep, but his activity remained insufficient. We also observed an improvement in the parameters of cognitive functioning and quality of life. There was neither significant mood variations during the memantine use nor mood changes after its termination. No significant side effects were noted during the memantine treatment. We conclude that using memantine in bipolar depression may improve mood, cognitive functioning and quality of life.
