Needs fulfillment is one of the most critical concepts in defining and managing an Institutional Household (IH). Though most major studies in the field have emphasized the importance of needs fulfillment, few studies have focused on the concrete concept and/or strategy for needs fulfillment. This study delved into elaborated concepts and management strategies for needs fulfillment in IH. First, the paper redefined the concept of customers' needs for IH by contrasting the basic needs as a human being with those provided by the family and the employees' needs within IH. The paper dimensionalized the needs and matched them with specific management aspects of IH. Based on the refined concepts of needs, the second part of the paper dealt with the management strategies for needs fulfillment in IH. Needs fulfillment management strategies were discussed in three aspects: needs assessment, needs fulfillment program performance, and program evaluation. Finally, the authors discussed how needs fulfillment management discussed in this paper could be applied to the curriculum development for educating and licensing IH Managers.

The fulcrum of economic development is a sustainable supply of electricity. Nigeria is plagued with blackouts, with one of the lowest per capita electricity consumption in the world (circa. 120 kWh per capita). Hence, policies have been instigated to integrate electricity generation from nuclear power plants (NPP) on or before 2027. However, a critical requirement for NPP generation is the implementation of robust human resource development (HRD) programs. This paper presents the perspective of Nigeria in assessing human resources needs over the entire NPP lifecycle following the milestone approach and employing the IAEA's Nuclear Power Human Resource (NPHR) modeling tool. Three workforce organizations are in focus including the owner/operator, regulators, and construction workers following three decades timeframe (2015-2045). The results indicate that for the study period, a maximum of approximately 9045 personnel (73% construction workers, 24% owner/operator, and 3% regulators) should be directly involved in the NPP program just before the commissioning of the third NPP in 2033. However, this number decreases by about 73% (2465 personnel including 94% operator and 6% regulator) at the end of the study timeframe. The results can potentially provide clarity and guidance in HRD decision-making programs.

In Korea, water management policy had been successfully conducted until late 1980's. During the period, fundamental needs of human-being, such as requirements of drinking and irrigation waters and flood protection for living, had been satisfied. However, most of recent water problems occurred after the late 1980's such as water quality management and new water resources development, have been unresolved and accumulated. Because, our water governing institutions have become ineffective as water management issue has been changed gradually from fundamental human needs such as water supply and/or flood protection to complex/integrated issues, for example, river restoration. To solve those water problems accumulated, we needs a new paradigm of water governing institution such as setting up national water management committee and river basin committee, in order to coordinate water-related ministries' policies and establish national water resources planning in an integrated format.

자동차 특성에 대한 소비자의 감성을 자세하게 조사하여 자동차 설계 시에 적용시키는 것은 매우 중요하다. 제품 디자인에는 기능, 품질, 외형 등의 주요요인 들이 있으며, 그 중에서 외형에서 느껴지는 색감, 재질감, 형태감 등 소위 디자인 적 요인에 의한 이미지가 판매에 큰 영향을 주고 있다. 이러한 점에서 현대의 상품개발이 성공하기 위한 관건은 그 제품의 디자인에 있다고 해도 과언이 아닐 것이다. 그러므로 산업디자이너들은 소비자들이 제품을 실제 사용하는 데 관한 기능적인 문제와 연관지어 조형적인 측면을 고려하고 있다. 이와 같은 관점에서 본 연구의 목적은 소형 전기자동차의 외형을 디자인함에 있어서 인간의 니즈(Needs)를 객관적으로 감성 평가하여 구매자의 감성요구에 적합한 소형 전기자동차를 디자인하는데 두었다.

In some situations, you need information in order to solve a problem that has occurred. In information science, user needs are often described through very specific examples rather than through a classification of situation types in which information needs occur. Furthermore, information science often describes general human needs, typically with a reference to Maslow's classification of needs (1954), instead of actual information needs. Lexicography has also focused on information needs, but has developed a more abstract classification of types of information needs, though (until more recent research into lexicographical functions) with a particular interest in linguistic uncertainties and the lack of knowledge and skills in relation to one or several languages. In this article, we suggest a classification of information needs in which a tripartition has been made according to the different types of situations: communicative needs, cognitive needs, and operative needs. This is a classification that is relevant and useful in general in our modern information society and therefore also relevant for information science, including lexicography.
