The questions on Trinity & Filioque Controversy, Theomathology

Francis Jickhong Yun 한국민중신학회 2016 Madang: Journal of Contextual Theology Vol.0 No.25

I have created a new field of study, which I named, “theomathology” which is a field of Theological Mathematics. The doctrine of Trinity and dispute over Filioque have been continuing on for almost about 2,000 years of history, but still, no one has clearly explained nor proven their essences. Apparently, when we conduct a research on Trinity or Filioque controversy, and if we study something that is off the track from them, it is hard to expect any good result no matter how much time is being invested.

Classifying Correspondence in Japanese and Korean

( Francis Bond ) 경희대학교 언어연구소 2006 언어연구 Vol.23 No.1

In this paper we present an analysis of the ways Japanese and Korean categorize long-distance communication, for example, over the telephone, or through email, fax or letters. In Korean and Japanese, numeral classifiers are used to overtly categorize such communicative acts. Japanese uses more classifiers in this eld than Korean, and so there is more possible variation in classifier use. We use the framework of Pustejovsky`s (1995) Generative Lexicon to make clear the differences between kind and shape classifiers, and explain the variation in classifier use by showing how different classifiers select for different features of lexical entries.

Philippine Foreign Policy Changes : US Eviction in 1991, and the Enhanced Defense Cooperation Agreement

Francis Martinez Esteban 동덕여자대학교 한중미래연구소 2017 한중미래연구 Vol.9 No.-

피나투보 화산 폭발과 태풍 하이얀 이후 필리핀이 미국과의 동맹을 향한 외교 정책 지침의 변화는 분석하기에 흥미로운 사례이다. 피나투보 화산이 폭발한 후 미국은 필리핀에서 강제로 철수했고, 미국은 태풍 하이얀 이후 필리핀 군 기지에 순환 배치를 위해 필리핀과 방위 협정을 체결했다. 특히 국내 및 국외 요인이 마닐라 외교 정책에 미치는 영향에 대한 대외 정책 분석을 이용하여, 유사한 자연 재해가 발생한 후에 필리핀 은 1991년에 미국 기지의 유지 보수를 위해 또 다른 협정을 비준하지 않도록 한 이유를 설명할 것이다. 사실 필리핀은 2014년에 태풍 하이얀 이후에 미국으로 하여금 필리핀 군사기지를 사용하도록 허락한 바 있다. 유사한 재난 상황이 주어진다고 해도, 재난 자체는 의사 결정 과정에서 단기적인 의미만을 지닐 뿐이다. 피나투보 화산이 폭발한 후, 냉전 종식의 충격과 필리핀의 점증하는 민족주의 정서가 필리핀으로 하여금 미군의 지속적인 기지 주둔을 거부하도록 영향을 미쳤다. 한편, 미국은 2011년에 아시아로 선회(외부 환경) 하고, 아키노정부의 군사 현대화와 중국의 부상에 대비한 외부 균형 유지의 필요성은 필리핀이 군사 기지에 미국의 재주둔을 허용하도록 결정했다. The changes of foreign policy directives of the Philippines towards its alliance with the United States of America after Mt. Pinatubo eruption, and typhoon Haiyan are interesting cases to analyze. The United States was forced to move out of the Philippines after the Mt. Pinatubo eruption, while Washington signed a defense agreement with Manila to have a rotational presence in Philippine military bases after typhoon Haiyan. Using foreign policy analysis, specifically by tapping the influence of domestic and external factors on Manila’s foreign policy decision making, the research would explain why after similar natural disasters, the Philippines opted not to ratify another treaty for the maintenance of the US bases in 1991, while allowing the US to use Philippine military bases after typhoon Haiyan in 2014. Though given similar disaster circumstances, the disaster itself have only short-term significance in the decision making process. After Mt. Pinatubo eruption, the impact of the end of the Cold War (external environment) together with the growing Filipino nationalist sentiments (domestic environment) has influenced the Philippines to deny the US a continued presence of its military base. Meanwhile, the US pivot to Asia in 2011 (external environment), and Aquino’s military modernization and external balancing towards the rise of China (domestic environment) have dictated the Philippines decision to allow the US to have a presence once again, in Philippine military bases.

Case Study of the Viability of Smallholder Dairy Farming in Nharira-Lancashire, Zimbabwe

Francis, Joseph,Sibanda, Simba Asian Australasian Association of Animal Productio 2001 Animal Bioscience Vol.14 No.8

There is little information on smallholder dairy farming in Zimbabwe. With such inadequate knowledge, no meaningful decisions on how to improve these systems can be made. A study was, therefore, carried out in Nharira communal area and Lancashire small-scale commercial area to provide information on the viability of dairy farms. This paper is based on data obtained through participatory monitoring of 13 smallholder dairy farms in 1996 and 1997. All the four farms in Lancashire were found to be viable in both years. In Nharira, two out of the nine farms in 1996 and three farms in 1997 failed to break even. There were considerable inter-farm differences in the contribution of milk sales towards total income from dairy farming, ranging from 41% to 99% in Nharira and 71% to 81% in Lancashire in 1996. Corresponding estimates in 1997 were 51-95% and 72-78%, respectively. Expenses on cattle feeds contributed 36-84% in 1996 and 37-80% in 1997 towards total variable costs in Nharira. In Lancashire, the respective estimates were 15-33% and 22-36%. Seven out of the nine studied farms in Nharira and three out of four in Lancashire realized higher gross margin (GM) in 1997 than in 1996. All these farming households had conserved considerable amounts of farm-grown feeds. It was concluded that feed costs, number of cows and sizes of land holdings were the main factors determining viability of smallholder dairy farming. The major challenge to smallholder dairy farming in Nharira, in particular, was to develop low-cost feeding strategies.

Statistical Inference for an Arithmetic Process

Francis, Leung Kit-Nam Korean Institute of Industrial Engineers 2002 Industrial Engineeering & Management Systems Vol.1 No.1

A stochastic process {$A_n$, n = 1, 2, ...} is an arithmetic process (AP) if there exists some real number, d, so that {$A_n$ + (n-1)d, n =1, 2, ...} is a renewal process (RP). AP is a stochastically monotonic process and can be used for modeling a point process, i.e. point events occurring in a haphazard way in time (or space), especially with a trend. For example, the vents may be failures arising from a deteriorating machine; and such a series of failures id distributed haphazardly along a time continuum. In this paper, we discuss estimation procedures for an AP, similar to those for a geometric process (GP) proposed by Lam (1992). Two statistics are suggested for testing whether a given process is an AP. If this is so, we can estimate the parameters d, ${\mu}_{A1}$ and ${\sigma}^{2}_{A1}$ of the AP based on the techniques of simple linear regression, where ${\mu}_{A1}$ and ${\sigma}^2_{A1}$ are the mean and variance of the first random variable $A_1$ respectively. In this paper, the procedures are, for the most part, discussed in reliability terminology. Of course, the methods are valid in any area of application, in which case they should be interpreted accordingly.

Occupational Styrene Exposure on Auditory Function Among Adults: A Systematic Review of Selected Workers

Francis T. Pleban,Olutosin Oketope,Laxmi Shrestha 한국산업안전보건공단 산업안전보건연구원 2017 Safety and health at work Vol.8 No.4

A review study was conducted to examine the adverse effects of styrene, styrene mixtures, or styrene and/or styrene mixtures and noise on the auditory system in humans employed in occupational settings. The search included peer-reviewed articles published in English language involving human volunteers spanning a 25-year period (1990e2015). Studies included peer review journals, caseecontrol studies, and case reports. Animal studies were excluded. An initial search identified 40 studies. After screening for inclusion, 13 studies were retrieved for full journal detail examination and review. As a whole, the results range from no to mild associations between styrene exposure and auditory dysfunction, noting relatively small sample sizes. However, four studies investigating styrene with other organic solvent mixtures and noise suggested combined exposures to both styrene organic solvent mixtures may be more ototoxic than exposure to noise alone. There is little literature examining the effect of styrene on auditory functioning in humans. Nonetheless, findings suggest public health professionals and policy makers should be made aware of the future research needs pertaining to hearing impairment and ototoxicity from styrene. It is recommended that chronic styrene-exposed individuals be routinely evaluated with a comprehensive audiological test battery to detect early signs of auditory dysfunction.

Case Reports : Anaphylactic Shock Caused by the Epidurally-Administered Hyalurinidase

( Francis Sahngun Nahm ),( Hae Kwang Lee ),( Eun Joo Choi ),( Pyung Bok Lee ) 대한통증학회 2011 The Korean Journal of Pain Vol.24 No.4

Hyaluronidase is an enzyme that has temporary and reversible enzymatic effects on the matrix of connective tissue. When added to local anesthetics in pain treatments, it enhances their infiltration and dispersal into tissues. It is widely used in anesthesia for ocular, dental, and plastic surgery. Reports of drug hypersensitivity to hyaluronidase are rare and are usually confined to peribulbar or retrobulbar anesthesia during ophthalmic surgery. However, few reports exist on adverse drug reaction after epidural injection. We have observed two patients experiencing anaphylactic shock caused by hyaluronidase following epidural injection. Most of the patients with a hypersensitivity to hyaluronidase had one previous uneventful injection containing hyaluronidase, implying that sensitization had taken place. However, hypersensitivity occurring at the first administration is possible. A positive skin test can help establish the diagnosis. Although rare, the possibility of an allergic reaction to hyaluronidase should be considered even in patients with no known previous exposure.

Risk Factors for Self-reported Irritable Bowel Syndrome With Prior Psychiatric Disorder: The Lifelines Cohort Study

Francis Creed 대한소화기 기능성질환·운동학회 2022 Journal of Neurogastroenterology and Motility (JNM Vol.28 No.3

Background/AimsThe role of psychiatric disorder in irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is not clear. This study aims to assess whether individuals who have psychiatric disorder prior to IBS onset differ in their risk factors from the remainder. MethodsThe prospective, population-based Lifelines cohort study includes 132 922 adults without prior IBS or taking IBS medication at baseline. Baseline data included socio-demographic status, physical and psychiatric disorders, psycho-social and behavioral variables. At follow-up (mean 2.4 years later) new onsets of IBS were recorded by self-report. The predictors of new onsets of IBS were assessed using logistic regression; participants with and without prior psychiatric disorders were analyzed separately. ResultsAt follow-up 1507 (1.1%) participants reported new onset IBS. Of these, 27% reported prior psychiatric disorder. Predictors of IBS in this group were: 2 or more psychiatric disorders (OR, 2.74; 95% CI, 1.3-5.6), female sex, proton pump inhibitors, numerous bodily symptoms, impaired sleep, low BMI and negative health perception. These variables, except psychiatric disorders and BMI, also predicted IBS in those without prior psychiatric disorder but, in this group, gallstones, asthma, fibromyalgia, reported allergies, impairment through bodily pain, and frequent healthcare were also predictors. ConclusionsDespite its limitations this study suggests that prior psychiatric disorder is an important risk factor in a quarter of IBS onsets. Negative health perception and multiple bodily symptoms are associated with all IBS onsets in line with the cognitive-behavior model of IBS. Prior psychiatric disorder may predict an optimal response to psychiatric treatment. Further studies could usefully study mechanisms linking IBS to prior psychiatric disorder.
