Present status on the pesticides production, supply, manufacture and pests control in Korea are summarized. The data in the past several years (1971-76) are analyzed to find out the problems and solutions for the further development of plant protection and pesticide industry in Korea. Since the acreages of crop plantation and the quantities of pesticides uses are already near to the stage of plateau, pesticide formulation with imported technical grade should be modified by local synthesis with imported quality. The government pesticides management act and regulations must be modernized urgently in connection with the synthesis. formulation, tests, registration, quality control. price and supply system as well as the safety use of pesticides. Recommendation concerning acceptable daily intakes(ADI) and residue limits must be established for the strengthning pesticide safety use and plant protection activities as soon as possible. The use of fungicide-insectide mixture in dust formulation must be authorized and practiced immediately for the labor saving and one-hit cooperative mass control of rice disease and insect pests, especially. At present, serious considerations on pesticide safety use and integrated pest control are strongly urged to help the farmers, to save the industries and to keep the nature as it is required.

The purpose of this study is to examine the trend of the studies on Korean social welfare administration over a recent 10 year period. Employing both network analysis and content analysis, which are representative statistical strategies to identify research trends, we analyzed 221 articles published in the Journal of Korean Social Welfare Administration from 2005 to 2014. The major findings were as follows; First, we found two clusters -"social (welfare) service" and "social welfare organization"- in the studies of social welfare administration. In addition, more than 80% of articles are mainly related with human resource management, including job satisfaction, organizational commitment, and so forth. Second, the newly emerging academic subjects such as social enterprise and community network appeared to be done independently of traditional subjects. Third, the proportion of quantitative studies being focused on human resources was overwhelmingly high compared to the other types of studies; therefore, there are a few studies using qualitative or mixed method, evidence based practice, and discourse studies. In addition, the studies of the rural areas, which are a blind spot of the social service delivery system, and the studies about information management, financial management, marketing, organization innovation rarely appeared, despite their significance.

Korea has made a rapid economic development since the last three decades. This has helped Korea narrow the gap in health service differences in resource availability and in quality of care. However urban and rural differentials are still remarkable. This study has maintained that health status of rural residents is inferior to that of urban dwellers. Therefore, this study was carried out to develop policy measures for improving health services in rural areas. In order to achieve the objective of this study the authors collaborated closely and made field visits, interviews and conducted an extensive literature review regarding rural health services. The following policy options are recommended as a summary ; First, the quality of rural health personnel is a single most important factor influencing the level of rural health services. An innovative program for public health doctors to the internship and/or residency training program such as specialty board program of family medicine. Second, dissatisfaction regarding employment of public health doctors is problematic. More rational employment and deployment programs are needed to meet their personal desire. One way to do this is to make it wide open and competitive. Third this study shows how to increase physician productivity in the rural public health sector. Incentive system needs to be elaborated for the career development of rural health workers. University linked job opportunity as clinical professor is an example. Fourth, without straightening the function of health centers and subcenters, the future of rural health services is doomed to failure. Straightening primary health care is one way to enrich the program of public health facilities and reactivating the operation of health center/hospital is another. A close linkage of public facilities with private hospitals is a minimum requirement for the operation of health delivery system within a health district. Fifth, some measures are urgently required to enhance hospital services in medically underserved areas. Financial subsidy, tax exemption, long-term public loans and higher priority of health manpower deployment are some of them. Sixth, new health programs should be in tiated to meet changing needs of peoples in rural areas. Home health care program, hospice program, nursing home, residential program for the elderly are recommended.

Recently, WBAN(Wireless Body Area Network) which has progressed standardization based on IEEE 802.15.6 standardization is a network for the purpose of the short-range wireless communications within around 3 meters from the inner or outer human body. Effective QoS control technique and data efficient management in limited bandwidth such as audio and video are important elements in terms of users and loads in short-range wireless networks. In this paper, for high-speed WBAN IEEE 802.15.6 standard, the dynamic allocation to give an efficient bandwidth management and weighted fair queueing algorithm have been proposed through the adjustment of the super-frame about limited data and Quality of Service (QoS) based on the queuing algorithm. Weighted Fair Queueing(WFQ) Algorithm represents the robust performance about elements to qualitative aspects as well as maintaining fairness and maximization of system performance. The performance results show that the dynamic allocation expanded transmission bandwidth five times and the weighted fair queueing increased maximum 24.3 % throughput and also resolved delay bound problem.

The purpose of this study is to find improvements in current issues faced in counseling training within the military and also show limits in counseling capabilities of military officers who are in charge of leading and counseling their troops. In reference to previous studies made on this topic, we looked at issues rising from military troops who are mainly in their post-adolescents having difficulties in adopting themselves to military life style. We also studied current status of counseling within the military and the counseling difficulties faced by military officers who are closely related to their troops.Survey and in-depth interviews were conducted to achieve the purpose of this study. 100 military officers were surveyed for the frequency of the counseling sessions, and to supplement the survey, in-depth interviews were conducted 3 military officers and analyzed qualitatively. As a result of the survey and the in-depth interviews 76.5% of the military officers never had counseling training prior to joining the military and only 32.9% received counseling training after joining the military. 61% of the survey participants expressed difficulties in counseling their troops. Most of them expressed difficulties in lack of training and issues on theory based training. For the improvements following have been identified; "understanding the troops", "Identifying the problems", "Execution of the training" and "Techniques for Military Training". This study has a meaning in terms of identifying improvement areas in counseling training in the military through researching into current limits in military counseling and military officers counseling capabilities when the social issue of new troops having difficulties in adopting to military life style are on the rise.

The Philippines is a naturally water-rich archipelago capable of sustaining its ecological goods and providing services and needs of its people. Several waterbodies have been declared as natural wetlands in the country supporting the needs of community like water and food. In this study, 65 natural wetlands were considered including six sites that were identified as 'Wetlands of International Importance' such as Naujan Lake National Park, Agusan Marsh Wildlife Sanctuary, Olango Island Wildlife Sanctuary, Tubbataha Reefs Natural Park, Las $Pi{\tilde{n}}as-Para{\tilde{n}}aque$ Critical Habitat and Ecotourism Area and Puerto Princesa Subterranean River National Park. There are 22 wetland types presented in this research categorizing the Philippine wetlands. Philippine wetlands are now facing tremendous challenges such as land use conversion, abuse of resources, pollution coming from domestic, industrial and agricultural activities, and climate change. This paper provides an overview of Philippine wetlands in terms of their characteristics and components, impacts in the ecosystem, and the challenges they are dealing with. Moreover, the preservation measures that the government and private agencies implements to these wetlands were discussed and assessed. The enforcement of local and national laws concerning wetlands is found to be inadequate resulting in poor quality wetlands. The preservation and utilization of these wetlands can be maximized with a voluntary participation of whole Philippine community.

Recently, the research, utilizing bio and environment sensors in agricultural and cattle industries, are drawing attention among the various IT convergence technologies. Among such research IT convergence techniques which aim to improve the quality of cattle industry management are necessary in particular. Real-time monitoring of the cattles health condition, identification of the cause of the diseases and timely response to such epidemic based on IT convergence techniques are among them. In order to achieve the better management of cattle industry, we propose a cattles management system which based on various bio environment sensors and wireless network technologies. The system consists of wireless environmental sensor data acquisition nodes, sensor data processing nodes, the gateway and the server. The proposed system is able to actively monitor the cattle field, to respond quickly in the case of massive cattle diseases and to control the environment of the cattle fields. We believe the proposed system will demonstrate the successful application of IT technologies to an applied field such as farming industries because of real-time crisis management capability in case of epidemic and optimal management of cattle industry.
