Buildings | Free Full-Text | Analysis of Energy Reduction and Energy Self-Sufficiency Improvement Effects by Applying a Bidirectional Reflectance PV Array with Integrated External Shading at a School Building
1. Introduction 1.1. Research Background Korea’s energy import dependence rate is 92.8%, and 18.5% of the GDP is spent on purchasing overseas energy (2020) [1]. In addition, the construction of new thermal power plants, such as coal-fired power plants, has been avoided to achieve the Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) agreed upon in the Paris Agreement [2]. This situation has led to high-efficiency energy production and active development of energy-reducing technologies across all industries.
The importance of STROBE checklist adherence in reporting of observational studies: Not just a tick box exercise
With increasing interest in the quality of published research within the scientific community, inadequate reporting has been identified as a widespread issue in biomedical research for several years (Glasziou et al., 2014). Poor reporting of research is unethical, it wastes time and valuable resources and can be potentially detrimental to patient care (Moher, 2018).

Radiological progression of end colostomy trephine diameter and area
Abstract Background Development of a parastomal hernia is common following abdominoperineal excision (APE). The true incidence is difficult to assess fully owing to differing lengths of follow‐up and techniques used to assess herniation; radiological or clinical. The primary aim of this study was to evaluate colostomy diameter by studying the rate of change of axial and sagittal trephine diameters, trephine area, and the ratio of the trephine over time.
