Background: The coverage of breast and cervical cancer screening has only slightly increased in the past decade in Thailand, and these cancers remain leading causes of death among women. This study identified socioeconomic and contextual factors contributing to the variation in screening uptake and coverage. Materials and Methods: Secondary data from two nationally representative household surveys, the Health and Welfare Survey (HWS) 2007 and the Reproductive Health Survey (RHS) 2009 conducted by the National Statistical Office were used. The study samples comprised 26,951 women aged 30-59 in the 2009 RHS, and 14,619 women aged 35 years and older in the 2007 HWS were analyzed. Households of women were grouped into wealth quintiles, by asset index derived from Principal components analysis. Descriptive and logistic regression analyses were performed. Results: Screening rates for cervical and breast cancers increased between 2007 and 2009. Education and health insurance coverage including wealth were factors contributing to screening uptake. Lower or non-educated and poor women had lower uptake of screenings, as were young, unmarried, and non-Buddhist women. Coverage of the Civil Servant Medical Benefit Scheme increased the propensity of having both screenings, while the universal coverage scheme increased the probability of cervical screening among the poor. Lack of awareness and knowledge contributed to non-use of both screenings. Women were put off from screening, especially Muslim women on cervical screening, because of embarrassment, fear of pain and other reasons. Conclusions: Although cervical screening is covered by the benefit package of three main public health insurance schemes, free of charge to all eligible women, the low coverage of cervical screening should be addressed by increasing awareness and strengthening the supply side. As mammography was not cost effective and not covered by any scheme, awareness and practice of breast self examination and effective clinical breast examination are recommended. Removal of cultural barriers is essential.

Two MODIS instruments on board the Terra and Aqua Satellites are operational for global remote sensing of the land, ocean and atmosphere. Atmospheric sounding data with a high spatial resolution from MODIS will provide a wealth of useful information. The vertical air temperature and moisture data were retrieved using the MODIS data, and compared with the radiosonde data obtained in the Korean Peninsula. The correlation coefficient are 0.99 and 0.89 for air temperature and moisture cases, respectively. Air temperature data were relatively good agreement, but the moisture data from MODIS were underestimated.

For happy life, it is first of all essential to live healthily although wealth is important too. Korean government has enforced National Health Insurance Program and has improved it every year. However, health security still leaves something to be desired in Korea. Although Korean government also enacted National Health Promotion Law in 1995, the national health promotion policy has not been effectively carried out because of the problems of institution related to policy implementation and expenses of organizations. Also, community health services have failed to realize the anticipated results. Especially, health education services which are deeply related to national health consciousness are not well accomplished. Therefore, the average life span of Korean people is 73.5 years which display the level of the developing countries, while it is 74.7 years in the developed countries. Various health education services which Korean government and private organizations are carrying out are not activated. At this time, national health behavior and Quality of life will be greatly enhanced if "Mobile Health Education Teams" play active roles with new image, visiting vulnerable areas to health problems all over the country.e country.

"Behind a Mask" (1866) marks the new direction of Louisa May Alcott's artistic and personal life. Her European trip solidified her identity as a mature woman, most importantly as a mature American woman, one whose independence from Victorian stereotypes would, from now on, make her fortune and fame. Her sensational stories, especially "Behind a Mask," would tell truths that readers recognized but had rarely seen written. These truths would free them, and the author herself, to explore their talents as individuals. Henceforth, Alcott would embody the successful American artistic entrepreneur as one who shed the European domination of false titles and inherited wealth. These motifs of the transnational connection pervade the story, in the form of images and likenesses. Just as Alcott would soon, in two years, reach astonishing financial success with the publication of Little Women, her meteoric ascent parallels America's rise to power in the world's economy, which came about with almost alarming speed after the conclusion of the American Civil War.

일반적으로 기업가들이 창업을 할 때 자금을 필요로 한다. 이들 자금의 주요원천은 개인저축, 가족이나 친구들의 자금 또는 은행이나 다른 금융기관들의 대출이다. 이민자와 모국인 기업가들의 자금원천에는 차이가 있는데, 그 차이는 그들이 처해있는 사회적 맥락에 기인한다. 이 연구의 주제는 기업가의 거주형태-이민자인지 모국인인지-가 어떻게 자금의 원천에 영향을 미치는지, 그리고 이러한 차이가 어떻게 한국가의 부에 의해 조절효과를 가지는지 하는 것이다. 데이터는 글로벌 기업가정신 모니터에서 29개국 14,369명의 이민자 및 모국인 창업 기업주나 관리자를 대상으로 서베이한 것을 사용했으며, 위계혼합모델을 사용하여 분석하였다. 분석결과 이민자나 모국인 기업가 모두 개인저축과 가족의 자금을 가장 주요한 자금원천으로 사용했다. 모국인 기업가들은 이민자 기업가들보다 은행이나 금융기관들을 주요 자금원천으로 사용한데 반해, 이민자 기업가들은 친구나 기타 원천을 자금원천으로 사용했다. 하지만 이러한 거주형태가 자금의 원천에 미치는 영향은 국가의 상황에 의해 조절된 것으로 나타났다. 한 국가의 부의 정도가 친구나 기타 원천을 자금원천으로 사용하도록 촉진한 것으로 나타났다.

본 연구는 IMF 경제위기 이후 한국기업의 본격적인 구조조정 단행 시기인 2000년 이후 한국 상장기업의 전환사채 발행에 따른 주식가격 반응을 고찰한다. 이를 위하여 본 연구는 사건연구방법론(event study)을 사용하였다. 본 논문은 한국주식시장에서 기업의 전환사채 발행공시는 공시당일 유의한 정(+)의 비정상수익율(i.e. 주주부의 증가)을 발생시킨다는 실증적 증거를 발견하였다. 또한 본 연구는 내부거래자에 의한 공시 이전일 정보누출 효과도 발견하였다. 이러한 결과는 한국기업의 전환사채 발행공시는 주주부의 유의한 증가와 관련성이 있다는 것을 반영한다. 전환사채 발행공시에 대해 부(-)의 효과가 상대적으로 우세한 국내외 연구와는 달리, 본 연구는 해외 전환사채 발행과 더불어 국내 전환사채 발행도 해당공시에 대해 유의한 정(+)의 비정상수익율을 포착하였다. 이것은 2000년 이후 한국 상장기업의 전환사채 발행의 공시효과는 두 시장에서 동일한 정(+)의 효과를 발생시킨다는 의미 있는 결과로 해석된다. 그 요인변수와 관련하여, 기업의 규모는 본 공시에 의해 증가된 주주부와 유의한 부(-)의 관계를 보이는 반면, 발행만기, 성장기회 및 상대적 발행규모는 유의한 정(+)의 관계를 보여 주었다.

본 논문은 유학과 대순사상의 경제관을 비교·고찰함으로써 그 이론적 동이점을 확인하려는 것이다. 이를 통해 경제적 가치를 최고의 가치로 여기는 오늘날 사회풍토에서 전통사상의 경제관이 어떠한 시사점을 줄 수 있는가를 고찰하고, 또한 우리사회의 바람직한 경제관을 정립하는 데 일조하고자 한다. 결론부터 말하면, 대순사상의 경제관은 주자와 마찬가지로 물질보다는 상대적으로 도덕을 중시한다는 것을 알 수 있다. 이러한 사고는 그대로 경제와 같은 물질세계보다 도덕과 같은 정신세계의 중시로 나타난다. 따라서 의리와 이익, 천리와 인욕, 도심과 인심, 양심과 사심 등의 해석에서 볼 때, '부'와 같은 물질세계보다는 도덕과 같은 정신세계를 더 지향하는 경향을 보인다. 이들에게도 물질은 필요한 것이지만, 인간사회가 추구해야 할 가치는 물질보다 도덕적 정신세계인 것이다. 그러므로 사람들의 도덕성이 무엇보다 중요하며, 사람들의 도덕성이 실현되면 경제를 비롯한 모든 사회문제는 저절로 해결된다는 입장이다. 이것이 바로 주자와 대순사상의 경제관을 이루는 이론적 구조이며 사상적 특징이다.

Korean students ranked the 3rd out of 32 participating countries in the first cycle of PISA(Programme for International Student Assessment) science field, which assessed 15-years-old students' scientific literacy. PISA developed several variables such as parents' socio-economic status, parents' educational attainment, family wealth, and cultural possession, to investigate the effects of background variables on scientific literacy. On the other hand, motivation and engagement in science study were not given much attention, partly because science was the minor area in the first cycle of PISA. Therefore, PISA Korea developed a series of variables to collect data on students' learning motives and out-of-school activities in science as a national option. The results are as followings. First, Korea was found to be one of the PISA participating countries with the scientific literacy achievement least influenced by parents' socio-economic status, family wealth, and parents' cultural possession. Second, the degree of achievement in scientific literacy according to parents' educational attainment was in a positive correlation, similar to the overall tendency of PISA. Third, the most crucial learning motive for Korean students was their desire to develop scientific thinking abilities or obtain science knowledge. On the other hand, choosing jobs in the field of science or parental expectation was the least important learning motive. In particular, the motive for scientific learning was found to have a positive relationship with the degree of scientific literacy achievement. Therefore, the higher the students achievement, the stronger the motive for scientific learning in order to develop their ability to think scientifically or acquire science knowledge. Fourth, Korean students were shown to participate very little in out-of-school scientific activities other than watching TV programs related to science. Whatever the activities may be, the more actively involved students are in out-of-school scientific activities, the higher their scientific literacy achievement. Fifth, Korean girls were rather passive compared to boys in all areas, including science learning motive and out-of-school scientific activities. The gender difference was especially more pronounced in out-of-school scientific activities with wider gaps in such activities as reading scientific books or articles and visiting science-related web sites.

This study aims to explore the relationship between housewives' health KAP level and the physical health of families. The data used in this study are obtained from the Last Evaluation Program of the National Note for Health surveyed in July, 1989. The respondents for this study are 770 housewives residing in Chunan and Buan. The reason why this study focus on KAP level of housewives is to find out whether a housewife as a emotional supporter contributes to the physical health of her families. A housewife gives her families emotional satisfaction insteade of economic satisfaction. So she has the most interest in family health among the members of her family. Therefore, housewife's KAP level will influence her family health. The independent variables chosen for the analysis are the general characteristic variables and KAP level. And the dependent variable is the physical health of families which excluded psychosocial one. This level of family health includes weight for family health and seriouseness of disease. The result of this study was summarized as follows. (1) KAP level was significantly correlated with variables which have mainly the socioeconomic characteristics. The variables were: area of residence, education level occupation, self assessment on wealth, and exposure to mass communication. (2) In the analysis of relationship between the general characteristic variables and family health, family health was significantly correlated with almost all variables. The variables were: Presence of the aged, Health status, Experience in disease, Self assessment on health, No. of families, Occupation, Education level, Self assessment on wealth, Concern on health, and Exposure to mass communication. (3) In the analysis of relationship between family health and KAP level, family health was not significantly correlated with KAP level but. (4) Also in the stepwise regression analysis, the general variables account for about 32.1 percent of the variance in the dependent variable, family health. The variable with the greatest explanatory power was presence of the aged. On the contrary, KAP level explain about 0.4 percent of the variance in the dependent variable. In sum, the study shows that housewives' health KAP level has relatively weak relationship with the physical health of families
