It is at risk of depletion of biodiversity due to indiscriminate overfishing of ecosystems and destruction of habitats. Intensive fertilizers or development of related facilities to increase agricultural production in poor indigenous areas devastate the soil. Preservation of biodiversity is now emerging as an important issue of global human coexistence. After the Post-2020 GBF Declaration, all governance in agricultural development in indigenous agricultural areas should be supported and promoted as biodiversity conservation measures. A compromise plan to reduce ecosystem development and biodiversity loss can help establish public governance policies. In this paper, a viability kernel used for viable control feedback analysis is introduced to solve conflicting economic and ecological problems in ecosystem conservation, and a mathematical model on biodiversity conservation by the viability kernel is examined. Because all species in the ecosystem are interdependent, if the balance is broken, biodiversity is depleted, which is irreversible and eventually leads to extinction. For sustainable use and harmony of biological resources, a lot of policy consideration is required, such as creative governance that can efficiently protect all species. Subsidies or tax incentives have a direct impact on biodiversity conservation. The recovery of species in a state of decreasing biodiversity can be said to be of great economic value. Biodiversity will allow indigenous producers to be proud of their unique traditional knowledge and have a positive impact on local tourism, thereby enhancing regional identity and greatly contributing to the survival and prosperity of mankind.

The research purpose is analyzing the relationship between the distributive justice and turnover intention of the workers in community rehabilitation centers. This study also examines the mediating effect of job satisfaction between the distributive justice and the turnover intention. For this purpose, the survey was conducted to workers of 14 community rehabilitation centers in Daejeon and Chungnam area, and the 365 data were used for analysis. The results of analysing as follows: 1) the distributive justice of the workers in community rehabilitation centers effected the turnover intention negatively and the job satisfaction positively. In addition, the partial mediating effect of job satisfaction was proved between the distributive justice and the turnover intention. The analysis results show that the distributive justice is the important independent variable of the turnover intention and the job satisfaction is the important parameter between the two variables. According to these analysis results, several suggestions were made to reduce the turnover intention of the workers being engaged in community rehabilitation centers in terms of the improving their distributive justice and job satisfaction.

Communication breakdown has been mentioned causing a heavy burden for dementia caregivers. This study aims to inspect and structure the process and results of communication between people with dementia and their caregivers. The impeding/facilitating elements of communication are also extracted. Interviews with 21 of dementia care experts about the direct and indirect experiences of communication with people with dementia were analyzed based on the grounded theory. Results show that combination of the cognitive and communication decline of the people with dementia, confusing environment and caregivers' inappropriate attitude and lack of communication skills leads to communication breakdown and relations severance. Minimal contacts and task-oriented conversation results in conflicts and people with dementia's increasing agitation, anxiety and violent behaviors while understanding of individuality and listening with heart lead to recovered lucidity in the state of serious dementia, recovered pleasure and voluntary participation in the daily activities for people with dementia. Core paradigm was defined as 'Person Centered Care through relation formation'. There are 4 types of communication with people with dementia : partnering, patronizing, conflicting, avoiding types. Researchers suggest that Person Centered based communication skills be educated and trained for dementia caregivers.

There were also many medical-related rulings in 2021, among which the rulings reviewed in this paper are as follows. The first relates to a case in which the medical record, which is the primary judgment data regarding the presence or absence of medical negligence, has been modified. The court judged whether there was negligence on the basis of the first written medical record without considering the contents of the medical record that was later modified. Next, the ruling on the case of asking for liability for damages for prescription of anti-obesity drugs recognized negligence related to prescription, but denied liability for property damage by denying a causal relationship, and recognized only alimony for violation of the duty of explanation. The a full-bench ruling on the scope of subrogation of the National Health Insurance Corporation, which subrogates the claims for compensation for medical expenses against the perpetrator of the patient, changed the existing precedent that had taken the 'deduction method after offsetting negligence' and judged it as 'the method of offsetting negligence after deduction'. In addition, in the ruling on whether or not there was negligence, the court was not bound by the medical record appraisal result. Lastly, in relation to the National Health Insurance Service's disposition of reimbursement for medical care benefit costs, we reviewed the ruling that discretion should be exercised even when a non-medical person makes a refund to a medical institution opened by a non-medical person. And we also reviewed the ruling that the scope of reimbursement for medical institutions jointly using facilities and manpower specifically should be determined.

Importance of touch equipment and smart learning increases and public institutions and educational facilities are applying smart devices to their daily environments. However, users of public smart devices are at risk of being exposed to the direct and indirect spread of infectious diseases. This study develops an exo-finger that wraps the fingertips of smart device users and is intended to have a disease prevention effect when used on public equipment. An exoskeletal body was fabricated by inserting a secondary material which is a mixture of the activating material, carbon black (CB) and a macromolecular polymer (elastomer) into a mold. This device was confirmed to have a touch function when the CB content was 0.030 wt% or higher, and the content of the elastomer was varied so that it could have a friction force similar to that when a person touches a smart device (a friction coefficient of 2.5). Through experiments, it was concluded that the CB content had little effect on the friction coefficient. As a result of testing the completed prototype on a smart device, it was proven that the developed exoskeletal device can be useful in situations where it is impossible to touch due to wearing protective gears, or when equipment such as gloves is used to prevent the spread of infectious diseases.

Background: This study aimed to establish a strategy to improve the poor working environment and working conditions among long-term healthcare workers in Korea. Methods: A total of 600 questionnaires with which long-term health care workers participated in the targeted base areas of each city and province nationwide were distributed directly and 525 responses were collected and 506 responses were analyzed. Surveys, on-site field visits, and in-depth interviews were also conducted to understand the working environment as well as conditions and establish a strategy for improving the working environment among long-term healthcare workers to understand the demands of working conditions and working conditions. Results: Korean long-term care workers firstly and mostly enumerated their risk factors for ill-health when lifting or moving elderly recipients directly by hand (69.9%), followed by increased physical workload with old beds, tools, and facilities (42.3%) in the workplaces, shortage of manpower (32%), and source of infection (30%). To improve the working environment as well as conditions, Korean long-term care workers considered improving low-wage structures, ergonomic improvements to solve excessive physical loads, and increasing various bonus payments as well as implementing the salary system, positive social awareness, and increasing resting time. Of 506 responses, 92.3% replied that the long-term care insurance system for the elderly should be developed to expand publicization at the national level. Conclusion: This study proposes to improve the low-wage structure of Korean long-term care workers, automation and improvement of facilities, equipment, and tools to eliminate excessive physical loads (beneficiary elderly lifting), and reduction of night labor.

Purpose: The effectiveness of the transport vehicle management system of the Chemical Substances Control Act will be studies and used as basic data for future system improvement plans. Method: After the enforcement of the Chemical Substances Control Act, the effectiveness for the transport vehicle management system was studies by comparing the transport plan, guidance and inspection status, safety training completion management, ect., and the reduction rate of chemical accidents. Results: The average number of chemical accidents in transport vehicles nationwide is 20 each year. And It is decreasing with the stabilization of the Chemical Substances Control Act('15.1.1). The first reason for the decrease in chemical accidents is the increase in submission of transport plans. Second, as the guidance and inspection rate increased every year, the shipper company's management of transport companies was naturally strengthened. Finally, it is judged that chemical accident caused by transport vehicles decrease through safety education. Conclusion: The current tranport vehicle management system of the Chemical Substances Control Act is effective. However, further research is needed to improve the practical and efficient transport vehicle management system.

1. 버섯종균 개선 버섯의 품질과 수량을 좌우하는 주요 요인은 종균의 활력이다. 그러나 라오스에서는 종균의 활력이 낮아 조그마한 100cc 병에 배양완성하는데 14일이 소요되는 등 볍씨종균의 균사생장과 균사밀도가 매우 낮음을 확인하였다. 따라서 100cc 병을 1000cc 비닐봉지로 개선하여 입봉하는데 소요되는 시간을 10배로 단축 개선하였다. 또한 곡립종균을 액체종균으로 대처한 결과 균사생장속도가 2배가 빨랐으며 작업속도가 4배가 빨라졌다. 2. 버섯배지제조 방법 개선 미세하고 건조한 톱밥에 수분을 첨가하는데 50%이하의 수분함량을 유지함으로서 균사가 표면에만 자라고 있는 것을 확인하고 버섯 배지제조 시 물리성을 개선하기 위하여 볏짚을 잘게 잘라 10%~100%까지 혼합하는 실험을 실시하였다. 그 결과 톱밥 50%에 볏짚 50% 혼합하는 것이 균사생장 속도와 밀도가 좋았다. 또한 왕겨도 30%정도 혼합한 배지처리에서 가장 좋았다. 또한 수분함량도 65%로 향상하여 혼합하도록 지도하였다. 3. 버섯배지살균 방법 개선 라오스에서는 왕겨를 태워 살균을 실시하고 있다. 화력이 약하여 살균한 배지에서 볍씨의 새싹이 돋아나오는 경우를 발견하였다. 이는 살균이 제대로 되지 않았음을 의미한다. 그래서 이동식 직화식 살균을 권하였으나 시설자재값이 감당이 안되어 엄두를 내지 못하였다. 따라서 가스버너를 도입하여 단시간에 화력을 높여 살균을 실시하므로서 세균의 증식을 막아 균사생장속도를 빠르게 하고 균사량의 축적을 높이는데 교육을 하고 컨설팅을 실시하여 개선하였다. 4. 병뚜껑과 형성틀을 대체한 링을 이용한 입봉작업시간 단축과 비용절감 버섯봉지에 배지를 담는 입봉작업을 할 때 병뚜껑과 그의 형성틀을 끼우고 솜을 조금 뜯어 톱밥배지 위에 놓는 작업을 한다. 이는 아주 잘못된 방법이다. 왜 그렇게 하는가하는 것은 이해가 간다. 그렇게 하는 이유는 접종할 때 실내에서 그냥 접종하므로 뚜껑을 열때 보호막 역할을 할 것으로 생각하고 그렇게 하는데 천만의 말이다. 어떻든 뚜껑을 열면 잡균이 들어가는 것은 마찬가지이다. 그래서 이 솜을 배지표면에 놓으면 마른 솜이 그렇지 않아도 수분이 적은데 이 솜이 수분을 또 빼앗아 가버린다. 그래서 균사생장이 늘려 15일이면 다 자라야할 균사배양기간이 한달씩 걸려도 표면만 살짝 잘린 결과가 빗어진다. 이렇게 표면만 균사가 사탕 발림식으로 자라면 품질이 저하되고 수량이 적고 병해충에 저항력이 약해지게 된다. 따라서 뚜껑과 형성틀, 솜을 모두 없애고 봉지 상단부위를 U자형으로 꺽어서 링을 끼우는 방법을 실제로 실험으로 보여준 결과 작업능률이 5배로 빠르고 작업공정이 빨라짐으로서 세균번식밀도가 적어 균사생장 속도가 2배로 빨라졌고 수량이 배가됨을 증명하고 보급하여 많은 호평을 받았다.

This study of the Wholeness Program relevant to dementia behavior and verification of buffering effects. For the purpose of this, among those who were attending Day Care Centers belonging to Seniors Welfare Center of M1 and M2 located in Seoul. Among those who met all these requirements, 40 senior citizens were finally selected. After carrying out a preliminary test to the selected subjects, 20 elderly of Seniors Welfare Center of M1 were randomly placed as an experimental group, while other 20 people of Seniors Welfare Center of M2, as a control group. The Wholeness Program relevant to dementia behavior was carried out from March 14 to May 30 of 2016, for 12 weeks, twice a week. As for the measurement tool, this study depended on the Korean version of Mini Mental State Examination (MMSE-K), the Korean version of Modified Barthel Index (K-MBI) and the Korean version of Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS-K). While the elderly were participating in the Wholeness Program relevant to dementia behavior, they were measured two times in total, before and after the participation in dementia behavior. Based on SPSS-PC (version 21.0), firstly, independent t-test was carried out to understand the homogeneity between the experimental group and the control group. Secondly, matched-pair t-test was carried out between preliminary test and post-test to inquire into the effects of MMSE-K, K-MBI and GDS-K. Thirdly, ANOVA was conducted to confirm the variation (change amount) between preliminary test and post-test. According to the survey results, the Wholeness Program relevant to dementia behavior of the elderly shows overall effects in all spheres of changes of cognitive ability (MMSE-K), changes of physical capacity (K-MBI) and changes of depression level (GDS-K).
