BACKGROUND The prevalence of thyroid cancer has increased very rapidly in Korea. However, there is no published report focusing on thyroid cancer mortality in Korea. In this study, we aimed to evaluate standardized thyroid cancer mortality using data from Statistics Korea (the Statistical Office of Korea). METHODS Population and mortality data from 1985 to 2010 were obtained from Statistics K...

Recently, Industrial Control Systems (ICSs) have been changing from a closed environment to an open because of the expansion digital transformation, smart factories, and Internet Things (IIoT). Since security accidents that occur in ICSs can cause national confusion human casualties, research on detecting abnormalities by using normal operation data learning is being actively conducted. The sin...

This study estimates the effects of dual long memory property and structural breaks on persistence level six major cryptocurrency markets. We apply Bai Perron break test, Inclán Tiao’s iterated cumulative sum squares (ICSS) algorithm, fractionally integrated generalized autoregressive conditional heteroscedasticity (FIGARCH) model, with different distributions. The results show that characteriz...

Adrenal insufficiency is a potential complication of therapy with an inhaled corticosteroid (ICS). Although prior studies found the highest risk of adrenal insufficiency with fluticasone, a more potent ICS, these results might be explained by a channelling bias and concomitant exposure to oral corticosteroids. We re-examined the relationship between the use of ICSs and adrenal insufficiency by ...

BACKGROUND Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients with blood eosinophil (EOS) count ≥ 2% benefit from exacerbation reductions with inhaled corticosteroids (ICSs). We conducted post hoc analyses to determine if EOS count ≥ 2% is a marker for greater responsiveness to the bronchodilators umeclidinium (UMEC; long-acting muscarinic antagonist), vilanterol (VI; long-acting β2-agonist)...

Asthma is characterised by chronic airway inflammation and remodelling, which can be (partially) suppressed by inhaled corticosteroids (ICSs). Plasminogen activator inhibitor-1, encoded by the SERPINE1 gene, is the key inhibitor of the plasminogen activator system, which affects tissue repair and remodelling. We studied associations between a functional SERPINE1 -675 4G/5G promoter polymorphism...

Bu çalışmada Dolar-TL kurunun finansal riskinin yönetiminde kullanılacak modellerin performansı üzerinde volatilitedeki çoklu yapısal kırılmaların olası etkileri incelenmiştir. Finansal risk yönetim modelleri olarak volatilite öngörü (volatlity forecasting) ile piyasa riski ölçüm esas alınmıştır. Volatilitedeki tespitinde ICSS algoritması Bai ve Perron (1998, 2003) testinden yararlanılmıştır. Z...

(SCADA), have lately gained the attention of IT security researchers as critical components of modern industrial infrastructure. One main reason for this attention is that ICS have not been built with security in mind and are thus particularly vulnerable when they are connected to computer networks and the Internet. ICS consists of SCADA, Programmable Logic Controller (PLC), Human-Machine Inter...
