    • Independent reliability and availability analyses of modified classification for migrated lumbar disc herniation
    Authors: Wenshuo, Gao; Wei, Zhang; Pan, Hao; Wang, Dong;  Advisor: -;  Co-Author: - (2023)

    In this study, the incidence of migrated lumbar disc herniation was about 10.5%, and most of the patients were male. Patients with higher BMI are more likely to develop this disease. Our study confirmed that the modified classification has moderate to high confidence. During the 2-year follow-up period, 66 patients (62.9%) were treated conservatively, and the patients with conservative treatment were mainly A2 and B2 type (59.1%). Thirty-nine patients (37.1%) underwent surgical treatment. The patients recovered well after operation, and the low back pain and ODI index were significantly improved at 1 year after operation (P < 0.05). We suggest that type A1 and B1 migrated nucleus pulposus can be removed by posterior approach. For type A2, B2, C1, C2, the lateral approach is recommen...
    • Re-Inventing Africa's Development
    Authors: Jong-Dae, Park;  Advisor: -;  Co-Author: - (2019)

    This open access book analyses the development problems of sub-Sahara Africa (SSA) from the eyes of a Korean diplomat with knowledge of the economic growth Korea has experienced in recent decades. The author argues that Africa's development challenges are not due to a lack of resources but a lack of management, presenting an alternative to the traditional view that Africa's problems are caused by a lack of leadership. In exploring an approach based on mind-set and nation-building, rather than unity – which tends to promote individual or party interests rather than the broader country or national interests – the author suggests new solutions for SSA's economic growth, inspired by Korea's successful economic growth model much of which is focused on industrialisation. This book will be...
    • Computational Models in Engineering
    Authors: Volkov, Konstantin;  Advisor: -;  Co-Author: - (2020)

    The book provides and discusses different examples from engineering, as well as where and how numerical methods contribute to more efficient simulation environments. There are 7 chapters in the book, covering different aspects of modelling and simulation in engineering and technology. In Chapter 1, a three-dimensional simulation technology for physical processes in concentric hydraulic brakes with a throttling-groove partly filled hydraulic cylinder is considered. Chapter 2 addresses the behavior of functionally graded solids under dynamic impact loading within the framework of linear elasticity using the parallel explicit algorithm. Chapter 3 discusses the case studies that revealed premature failures of stiffer elements prior to utilising the full capacity of more deformable eleme...

    • An evaluation of the impact of the implementation of the Tele-ICU a retrospective observational study
    Authors: Taro, Watanabe; Koichi, Ohsugi; Yuri, Suminaga;  Advisor: -;  Co-Author: - (2023)

    The telemedicine intensive care unit (Tele-ICU) is defined as a system in which intensive care professionals remotely provide care to critically ill patients and support the on-site staff in the intensive care unit (ICU) using secured audio–video and electronic links. Although the Tele-ICU is expected to resolve the shortage of intensivists and reduce the regional disparities in intensive care resources, the efficacy has not yet been evaluated in Japan because of a lack of clinically available system.
