English to Korean: Comparison of categorical methods for bivariate correlated data General field: Medical Detailed field: Medical: Health Care
Source text - English Each patient contributes two observations which are correlated. Specifically information is available for two eyes or two ears.
When evaluating the efficacy of an orally administered drug, what is the appropriate unit of measure?
Is the patient or the eye (ear) the unit of measure?
How should cure be defined?
One way to define cure is to dichotomize the outcome and consider that the patient is cured only when both eyes (ears) show no sign of disease.
Another approach would be to summarize the endpoints as unilateral disease (only one eye/ear still diseased), bilateral (both eyes/ ears still diseased) and cured (neither eye/ ear is diseased).
A third approach would be to use an analytical approach that treats the information from both eyes (ears) as bivariate data and incorporates the correlation between the paired observations as part of the analysis.
In analyzing the results of a randomized clinical trial, the effect of these various approaches on the Type I error and power of a hypothesis test is examined.
English to Korean: Programming Language General field: Tech/Engineering Detailed field: Computers: Software
Source text - English Like most first efforts in programming languages, Fortran was seriously flawed, both in details of the language design and more importantly in the lack of support for modern concepts of data and module structuring.
As Backus himself said in retrospect:
We did not regard language design as a difficult problem, merely a simple prelude to the real problem: designing a compiler which could preduce efficient programs.
Nevertheless, the advantages of the abstraction quickly won over most programmers: quicker and more reliable development, and less machine dependence since register and machine instructions are abstracted away.
Because most early computing was on scientific problems, Fortran became the standard language in science and engineering, and is only now being replaced by other languages.
Fortran has undergone extensibe modernization (1966, 1977, 1990) to adapt it to the requirements of modern software development.
C was developed by Dennis Ritchie of Bell Laboratories in the early 1970's as an implementation language for the UNIX operating system.
Operating systems were traditionally written in assembly language because high-level languages were considered inefficient, C abstracts away the details of assembly language programming by offering structured control statements and data structures (arrays and records), while at the same time it retains all the flexibility of low-level programming in assembly language (pointers and bit-level operations).
Since UNIX was readily available to universities, and since it is written in a portable language rather than in raw assembly language, it quickly became the system of choice in academic and research institutions.
When new computers and applications moved from these institutions to the commercial marketplace, they too UNIX and C with them.
C is designed to be close to assembly language so it is extremely flexible, the problem is that this flexibility makes it extremely easy to write programs with abscure bugs because unsafe constructs are not checked by the compiler as they would be in Pascal.
C is a sharp tool when used expertly on small programs, but can cause serious trouble when used on large software systems develped by teams of varying ability.
We will point out many of the dangers of constructs in C and show how to avoid major pitfalls.
The C language was standardized in 1989 by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI); essentially the same standaard was adopted by the International Standards Organization (ISO) a year later.
References to C is this book are to ANSI C and not to earlier versions of the language.

Source text - English The interior of St. Jamesโs Church, in Havenpool Town, was slowly darkening under the close clouds of a winter afternoon. It was Sunday: service had just ended, the face of the parson in the pulpit was buried in his hands, and the congregation, with a cheerful sigh of release, were rising from their knees to depart.
For the moment the stillness was so complete that the surging of the sea could be heard outside the harbor-bar. Then it was broken by the footsteps of the clerk going towards the west door to open it in the usual manner for the exit of the assembly. Before, however, he had reached the doorway, the latch was lifted from without, and the dark figure of a man in a sailorโs garb appeared against the light.
The clerk stepped aside, the sailor closed the door gently behind him, and advanced up the nave till he stood at the chancel-step. The parson looked up from the private little prayer which, after so many for the parish, he quite fairly took for himself; rose to his feet and stared at the intruder.
'I beg your pardon, sir,' said the sailor, addressing the minister in a voice distinctly audible to all the congregation. 'I have come here to offer thanks for my narrow escape from shipwreck. I am given to understand that it is a proper thing to do, if you have no objection?'
The parson, after a moment's pause, said hesitatingly, 'I have no objection; certainly. It is usual to mention any such wish before service, so that the proper words may be used in the General Thanksgiving. But, if you wish, we can read from the form for use after a storm at sea.'
'Ay, sure; I ain't particular,' said the sailor.
The clerk thereupon directed the sailor to the page in the prayer-book where the collect of thanksgiving would be found, and the rector began reading it, the sailor kneeling where he stood, and repeating it after him word by word in a distinct voice.
The people, who had remained agape and motionless at the proceeding, mechanically knelt down likewise; but they continued to regard the isolated form of the sailor who, in the precise middle of the chancel-step, remained fixed on his knees, facing the east, his hat beside him, his hands joined, and he quite unconscious of his appearance in their regard.

Source text - English Nothing says state sovereignty like currency. We put pictures of presidents, monarchs, and prime ministers on our banknotes.
Currency has become fundamentally linked to our notion of national economies, national power, and even national identity.
Could a currency break this traditional bond with the nationstate? Could digital technology go as far as replacing banks or governments as arbiters of trust and create a new protocol for doing business around the world?
Bitcoin, a new transnational currency released in the midst of the financial crisis in 2008โ2009, offers a case study for the future of currency as the code-ification of money intensifies. Bitcoin is a โdigital currencyโโa currency that is stored in code and traded online. It is also a โcryptocurrency,โ a term that is often used interchangeably with โdigital currencyโ but signifies that the currency uses cryptographic methods in an attempt to make it secure.
Bitcoin has become the worldโs first cryptocurrency to gain widespread use. Although there are dozens of cryptocurrencies, it is currently the largest and most influential. At first glance, Bitcoin looks kind of like PayPal in that it offers a way to pay for goods online, with no physical interaction needed. As of the 2014 holiday season, some 21,000 merchants accepted bitcoins, including household names like Victoriaโs Secret, Amazon, eBay, and Kmart. At first glance, there also looks to be an investment dimension to Bitcoin. It has the properties of a speculative asset, with its value going up and down with huge gyrations. But there is much more to it.
Bitcoin has encapsulated many of the contradictions and possibilities of digital currencies in a world still largely defined by national economies and governments. Its origin comes from ideological communities deeply skeptical of governments, traditional financial institutions, and โfiat currencyโ (money that draws its value from government law). Bitcoin has developed a new community around an online currency trying to circumvent these established institutions.
A fiat currency fundamentally depends on trust. People must have a shared belief that the currency is ultimately worth something. The word fiat means โit shall beโ: a pronouncement from on high that the currency has value. Bitcoin came about both as a result of declining trust in the traditional financial system during the financial crisis and because of its technological advance in creating a trustable mechanism for monetary exchange online.
On October 31, 2008, a research paper, โBitcoin: A Peer-to-Peer Electronic Cash System,โ was published on a cryptography listserv by a mysterious author identified as โSatoshi Nakamotoโ who has kept his/her (their?) identity unknown. It called for the creation of the worldโs โfirst decentralized digital currency.โ Satoshi Nakamoto condemned state-based currencies:

Source text - English Throughout history
the blade and one's ability to wield it
has been the difference between life and death.
Tonight,
America's top bladesmiths,
martial artists, and knife experts
bring their weapons to the toughest challengeโฆ
Come on, let's do this!
They'll ever face.
It's a grueling gauntlet
designed to put their blade wielding skills..
"To the ultimate test
"
He broke the knife in half!
The top two competitors
move on to Dead Run, the final showdown,
for a chance at a $20,000 grand prize.
Total carnage!
Who can do the most damage in the fastest the most damage in the fastest time? time?
Whose blade, and dreams, will shatter?
And who will earn the title of knife or Death champion?
I've probably made 500 knives,
but the unknown of what we're gonna cut in this competition,
it's pretty intimidating.
I've been a blade sports competitor for a while.
I've done some crazy stuff in my life.
Nothing like this.
Blade wielders,
I'm Bill Goldberg.
This is the most difficult, intense, and
utterly bad ass knife competition ever created.
Welcome to "Forged In Fire: Knife or Death."
Many of you have forged your own blades,
others had them made to their own specifications.
We've got katanas,
competition choppers, and
traditional bowie knives, among others.
You and your blade will be tested in a series of
timed challenges that
focus on precision,
technique, strength
blade sharpness, and durability.
It is my honor to introduce to you Special Forces Green Beret Tu Lam,
a martial arts master, and weapons expert.
If your techniques are on point,
if you choose the right angles,
have efficient movement,
you can win this competition.
Ladies and gentlemen,
the first course is
Knife Fight.
The Knife Fight course is a true test of speed and power.
The first obstacle you'll face:Trail Blazer.
You must cut through six wooden dowels,
each releasing a lit torch.
When the torches fall, igniting the steel pits,
it's time to move on to the next obstacle,
Stick and Move.
You must stab, slice, and cut through three separate containers to release enough contents
so that the attached counterweights reach the ground
before the containers rise to high to hit, and
before you cross that line,
or you will be penalized.
Next up is Ice Pick
You must chop into a 3-foot block of ice,
puncture the plastic pipe, and release the red liquid
Then you move on to Lifeline,
a sudden-death obstacle.
You must fully slice through three hanging objects with one swing each
Fail to slice through the thickest part,your run time ends, and
you're not allowed to go on any further in the course
If you make it this far,
your last obstacle is Curtain Call,
where you must cut completely through the wall of meat,
and did the sheet of metal.
Your time ends when you plunge your blade through the tree stump.
That course is frightening.
There's ice blocks, and there's wood boxes.
I'm gonna put some good strikes on it,
but I sure hope my blade doesn't break.
Fish, chicken, holy hell!
This is a competitor's dream.
Every cut I like to do is here.
All obstacles you leave unfinished will incur a 25-second penalty.
After every competitor finishes and
penalties are added up,
the two that make it the farthest the fastest will move on to
second, even more grueling course
challenge:Dead Run
The winner earns a cash prize, and
a spot in the grand champion showdown at the end of the season
to vie for a $20,000 cash prize
and the title of "Knife Or Death" champion.
We station our very own blade expert,
and "Forged in Fire" champion, Travis Wuertz before the start of this run.
He's gonna give your blade one final once-over
before we give you the green light to tackle Knife Fight.
If he finds any problems with your blade,
he can disqualify you from this competition.
Time to get your hands dirty.
The adrenaline is flowing.
I'm ready to compete.
I'm gonna win.
I'm Karl Groger,
and I'm from Holtsville, New York.
I enjoy competing in martial arts competitions.
I also hold a black belt in Iaido, the way of Japanese samurai sword.
The blade that I brought is a shinken, which is a live Japanese katana
There is a confidence and a spirit that shoots through the blade into me.
It should be able to cut through anything you can throw at me.
Hi there.
Thank you.
It's great to see somebody go through a lot of the practice of the art of the Japanese sword
It's been a part of my spirit my whole life.
That was hand forged to the specifications of my body.
You can't take a sharpened blade out of Japan.
They're actually considered national treasures,
so I was lucky enough to have found a Japanese smiththat actually lived in China,
and they were able to send it to me here in the United States.
Yeah, this is a beautiful blade,
but it does seem to have a little bit of wiggle.
This can affect the performance of the blade.
I've to do a little bit of testing, make sure it's safe and handles well before you're allowed on the course with it.
Hai
This is a fine blade,
and this definitely makes the cut.
Thank you, sir.
Good luck.
I've come to "Knife Or Death" for one reason:
to win.
I'm really excited to see Karl. He is the modern-day samurai.
The katana began to develop when the Mongolians invaded Japan.
A sharper blade was needed to pierce the Mongol warrior's leather armor.
Let's see how it cuts through a box and gravel.
His blade, by far, is the largest blade in today's competition.
You have 28 inches of cutting power.
He can wield this thing with one hand,
or he can double up with both hands.
Is bigger better?
We're gonna see.
See how he's hitting at a downward angle? Clean cut! Power!
He's dropping those hips.
He's dropping the legs.
He's through, he's through.
The torches are down.
It was precise. He got the angle of attack,
and he generated the power needed to blow right through those dowels.
Next up, Stick and Move.
He's going towards thrusting motion.
Samurai blades employ soft metal.
He may e trying to preserve his blade here.
The katana is a long blade.
Thrusting, versus slashing the corners,
is not gonna give the penetration to cut through.
It's slowly releasing those contents.
I would've utilize the power of that blade
He's leaving the crate before that counterweight reaches the ground.
In the Special Forces,
you make sure that threat's down before you move on.
Now he's gonna try and slice through the first bucket.
Let's talk about cardio right now .You see him slowing down.
He's feeling the pressure and time.
Now onto the second bucket.
The second bucket's counterweight reaches the ground.
He needs those two counterweights to hit the ground before you cross that line
or it's a 25-second penalty.
Oh, he gave up on the box, and the first bucket,
and crossed the line before the two counterweights hit the ground.
Two penalties on Stick and Move.
This ice is going to make or break Karl.
The katana is a long blade.
He needs to hit it at the proper angle.
"Look how he's attacking it.
Yeah, and he's attacking it. Angle one."
"He's coming down, but
"
I would also come up at an angle to open up that cavity
Is he getting a little bounce from that ice?

Over the years, Jackson also became dependent on sedatives, alcohol,
anti- anxiety drugs and even morphine."
Without prescription drugs, he could not function, sing, dance or perform.
March 5th 2009
"JACKSON:
I love you. I really do, you have to know that --"
"V/O
But six months before his death, Jackson announced a punishing schedule of fifty"
"JACKSON:
Iโll be,/ Iโll be performing the songs my fans want to hear. This is it, I mean this is really it. This is the final, this is the final curtain call."
"James Desborough
Showbiz Journalist"
"DESBOROUGH:
Before rehearsals began, Michael Jackson was telling everyone how excited he was about coming out and re-claiming his crown as the king of pop, and also showing his kids what he could do on the global stage."
"V/O:
But behind closed doors, the promoters AEG were concerned that Jackson wasn't up to performing his trademark high energy routines. They began to question health scares published by the press. His personal doctor, Conrad Murray, assured them that apart from bouts of insomnia, Jackson was in good physical condition. But not everyone was so convinced.
"
"Cus MURRAY'S
BUSINESS CARD"
Terry Harvey is a music promoter with close links to the Jackson family.
"Terry Harvey
Music Promoter"
"TERRY HARVEY:
How fit would someone have to be in to perform for two and a half hours?
In good shape. Do I think Michael didnโt have the energy of a stamina for fifty
nights? He did not have the stamina to do thirty minutes."
"Ian Halperin
Author, Unmasked:the final years of Michael Jackson"
"IAN HALPERIN:
Michael knew deep down there was no way heโd be able to perform fifty shows. Michael told people close to him, he didnโt know if he could do two shows."
"V/O:
So what was the truth about Jacksonโs fitness? Was he really up to the tour?"
"Dr Richard Shepherd
Forensic Pathologist"
"SHEPHERD:
The report says that heโs 136 pounds in weight and heโs five foot nine inches tall which gives a BMI of 20.1 which is normal, so although he appears slightly thin, he is within the acceptable range. You might expect some furring up of the arteries in a man aged fifty but Michael Jackson had no evidence of this and his heart was in good condition too so for a man of his age, he was in good shape."
"V/O:
Yet Jackson was clearly in trouble at the rehearsals. He seemed short of breath, stiff and unable to perform the routines he was famous for. In the autopsy, Richard Shepherd has found a reason for Jacksonโs lacklustre performance."
June 19th 2009
"SHEPHERD:
Several X-rays were taken of Michael Jackson. They showed he had osteoarthritis in some of his fingers and his spine."
"V/O:
The vertebrae in the spine are cushioned by areas of cartilage. In osteoarthritis, the cartilage degenerates the bones are left unprotected. This places pressure on the joints and in extreme circumstances the bones can grind together."
"SHEPHERD:
This is a condition that would cause him some pain and stiffness, and might limit his movements."
"V/O:
Osteoarthritis could explain why he was struggling with movement but it couldnโt explain why he was struggling to breathe."
"SHEPHERD:
Most of his organs are in good condition for his age. The exception is his lungs and they were like a battlefield. The lining of the airways showed a lot of damage and both lungs showed widespread inflammation and quite extensive scarring. For Michael Jackson, it would have made it harder for him to exert himself and he would have fatigued more easily. The next question I would want to ask is whatโs caused all this damage?"
"V/O:
A possible explanation is written all over Jacksonโs face. In his mid-20s he developed a symmetrical red rash around his cheeks, a classic symptom of another rare skin disease, discoid lupus, which causes hair to fall out anywhere on the body and can damage the lips."
"SHEPHERD:
We can see from the autopsy that Jackson had dark tattoos on his eyebrows and there were tattoos on the eyelids like eyeliner, and heโd also got tattoos in pink around his lips."
"V/O:
Lupus would also explain Jacksonโs habit of using umbrellas. The disease leaves skin sensitive to sunlight and it doesnโt only affect the skin. It can wreak havoc across the whole body."
"SHEPHERD:
Lupus is an auto-immune disease and these diseases occur when the body attacks parts of itself. "
"V/O:
White blood cells usually attack foreign invaders in the body. But in lupus these cells strike at the body itself, including the lungs, leaving them heavily damaged. "
"SHEPHERD:
Theyโre chronic diseases with episodes of remission and recurrence. Their recurrence can be triggered by a number of things: stress, exertion and lack of sleep. "
"V/O:
But is there an alternative explanation for Jacksonโs lung damage? For twenty-five years, an increasingly unstable and drug-dependent Jackson had been visiting the clinic of dermatologist Dr Arnold Klein. According to those who worked there, these visits had become less and less about his skin."
"Jason Pfiffer
Dr Klein's Office Manager"
"JASON PFEIFFER:
He would be in the office a couple of times a week, have very minor procedures done. When he got to the office, I would take him in the back door and put him in the procedure room and at that point Iโd go get Dr Kleinโs nurse, Ellen, and say Michaelโs here and he wants a shot."
"V/O:
On every visit heโd receive at least one injection. The syringe was full of demarol, a powerful medical version of heroin."
"PFEIFFER:
Usually the effects were pretty quick. He might pass out, he might be just tired, he might be loopy."
"V/O:
And Jackson didnโt always come to see Dr Klein alone."
"PFEIFFER:
If he was with the kids, that would be a little bit of a distraction for him. The kids would usually sit in Dr Kleinโs office. Theyโd be running and screaming and joking, and it would just, it would be a lot of fun until Michael got really out of it."
"V/O:
As the tour approached, Jacksonโs requests for these injections became more and more frequent. "
June 18th 2009
"PFEIFFER:
He would come in and he would demand to see Dr Klein quickly. He would want his shot of demarol as quickly as possible and you could tell that there was something going on."
"V/O:
By taking the drug, Jackson risked severe lung damage, addiction and even death. So could demarol be implicated in Jacksonโs sudden passing?"
"Dr Richard Shepherd
Forensic Pathologist"
"SHEPHERD:
The autopsy shows there are no significant injuries on the body and thereโs no evidence of any significant disease except in the lungs, and so we turn to the next stage. We look for the telltale clinical clues in the body, the toxicology report."
"V/O:
Jackson had well-publicised problems with prescription drugs. Heโd been in rehab several times and had admitted to addictions to pain-killers. In 2009, he was also having frequent injections of demarol, the pharmacological equivalent of heroin, and by early June, Jackson was struggling at the rehearsals for his This Is It tour."
"Emma Kenny
Counsellor &
Psychologist"
"EMMA KENNY:
Demarol is an incredibly powerful drug so if you were to turn up at rehearsals on it, the reality is youโd be disorientated, youโd be dizzy. Youโd also struggle with your breath. It creates a shortness of breath. Now this is literally the opposite of what is required when youโre performing.
"
"V/O:
But in just nineteen daysโ time, Jackson was due to embark on his record-breaking fifty date residency in London."
"James Desborough
Showbiz Journalist"
"DESBOROUGH:
Michael Jacksonโs mind was not ready. While publicly he was telling people yes, I can do this, it was clear by the way he was not turning up to rehearsals, ignoring important production meetings, this man was not ready for the This Is It comeback."
"V/O:
The situation became so desperate that the tourโs producer, Kenny Ortega, sent an impassioned email to the promoters."
Voice of Kenny Ortega
"KENNY ORTEGA:
My concern is he appeared quite weak and fatigued this evening. He had
a terrible case of the chills, was trembling, rambling and obsessing. Everything in me says he should be psychologically evaluated and I believe that he really wants this. It would shatter him, break his heart if we pulled the plug. Heโs terribly frightened itโs all going to go away. It broke my heart, he was like a lost boy. There still may be a chance he can rise to the occasion if we get him the help he needs. Sincerely โ Kenny."
English to Korean: Lethal Gift of Livestock General field: Social Sciences Detailed field: Social Science, Sociology, Ethics, etc.
Source text - English We have now traced how food production arose in a few centers, and how it spread at unequal rates from there to other areas. Those geographic differences constitute important ultimate answers to Yali's question about why different peoples ended up with disparate degrees of power and affluence. However, food production itself is not a proximate cause. In a one-on-one fight, a naked farmer would have no advantage over a naked hunter-gatherer.
Instead, one part of explanation for farmer power lies in the much denser populations that food production could support: ten naked farmers certainly would have an advantage over one naked hunter-gatherer in a fight. The other part is that neither farmers nor hunter-gatherers are naked, at least not figuratively. Farmers tend to brethe our nastier germs, to own better weapons and armor, to own more-powerful technology in general, and to live under centralized governments with literate elites better able to wage wars of conquest. Hence the next four chapters will explore how the ultimate cause of food production led to the proximate causes of germs, literacy, technology, and centralized government.
The links connecting, livestock and crops to germs were unforgettably illustrated for me by a hospital cause about which I learned through a physician friend. When my friend was an inexperienced young doctor, he was called into a hospital room to deal with a married couple stressed-out by a mysterious illness. It did not help that the couple was also having difficulty communicatng with each other, and with my friend. The husband was a small, timid man, sick with pneumonia caused by an unidentified microbe, and with only limited command of the English language. Acting as traslator was his beautiful wife, worried about her husband's condition and freighteded by the unfamiliar hospital environment. My friend was also stressed-out from a long week of hospital environment. My friend was also stressed-out from a long week of hospital work, and from trying to figure out what unusual risk factors might have brought on the strange illness. The stress caused my friend to forget everything he had been taught about patient confidentiality: he committed the awful blunder of requesting the woman to ask her husband whether he'd had any sexual experiences that could have caused the infection.

This incident sounds bizrrely one-of-a-kind and of no possible broader significance. In fact, it illustrates an enormous subject of great importance: human diseases of animal origins. Very few of us love sheep in the carnal sense that this patient did. But most of us platonically love our pet animals, such as our dogs and cats. As a society, we certainly appear to have an inordinate fondness of sheep and other livestock, to judge from the vast numbers of them that we keep. For example, at the time of a recent census, Australia's 17,085,400 people though so highly of sheep that they kept 161,600,000 of them.
