The children of sex workers in Bangladesh are denied even the most basic human rights. This article is based on recent research focused on the children of sex workers in the context of their everyday lives. The study focused on access to education and how education could be a vehicle for them to break the vicious cycle of exploitation. This was a mixed method interpretative study which employed qualitative and quantitative approaches, but in this paper only qualitative data which was generated through in-depth interviews and focus group discussions is used. Data was collected from sex workers, their children, teachers and NGO workers who participated in the study. Information has been collected for analysing the expectation of the children of sex workers and hope for the future, and the opportunities available to them during their schooling. Thematic analysis technique was used to understand the challenges and barriers faced by the children of sex workers in fulfilling their educational aspirations. The lives of the children of sex workers are marginalised by the mainstream society. Though it is very difficult to break the vicious cycle of exploitation, this research finds that education may be a stepping stone for them to create a better future. However, it is argued that the children of sex workers need income generating vocational and technical education to enable them to earn and support their family. Policy recommendations have been made in order to achieve Education For All targets and Millennium Development Goals, and to provide a second chance for these vulnerable young people to have a better life.

In the building construction, the steel-frame work occupies an important position in terms of structure, cost and quality. Especially in Japan, steel frames have traditionally been the main structure of many buildings. For steel-frame works in such positions, this paper investigates an existing steel fabricator to clarify the actual conditions of design decision making process and management method in steel production process. This study focuses on a steel fabricator (Company M in the following sentences), whose main market is Japan and which has facilities in Thailand, China, and Japan. Company M uses QR codes to control the production status of products, and exchanges all information between inside and outside the company via specialized departments in the form of documents. The authors have already analyzed the relationship between production lead time and defect rate based on actual project data at Architectural Institute of Japan in 2016. In 2019, we expressed the process from the confirmation of the design information of the current steel frame to the production by WBS, and clarified the relationship between the production lead time and steel frame product quality structurally. In this paper, the authors reoport the progress of the survey conducted so far, the positioning of the collected data, and the future survey policy.

The study was meant to examine electronic theses and dissertations' development in Nigerian federal university libraries. The study adopted descriptive survey research design. The study population comprised forty-eight institutional repository librarians in eighteen Nigerian federal university libraries. The sample consisted of forty three librarians. A questionnaire was used for data collection. The data collected were analyzed with mean and standard deviation. Findings reveal that the policies available for developing electronic theses and dissertations (ETDs) in the libraries require submission of electronic copies of theses and dissertations by students, participation of digital/IR librarians in ETD development and provision of free access to ETDs; the libraries comply with standards of Open Archives Initiative Protocol for Metadata Harvesting and Search/Retrieval via URL using DSpace for building ETDs and taking advantage of such available ICT facilities as computers, scanners, CD-ROM, LAN, internet connectivity and printer. The libraries achieve ETD through digitisation, mandating submission of electronic versions of TDs by students and creation of IR. However, the process is hindered by technological obsolescence, financial problems, absence of clearly-defined ETD development policy, required ICT facilities and trained staff, copyright, irregular power supply and unstable internet connectivity. This study represents a fresh empirical investigation into electronic theses and dissertations' development in federal university libraries in Nigeria.

Background: This study aimed to analyze the impact of community health care resources on the place of death of older adults with dementia compared to those with cancer in South Korea, using public administrative big data. Methods: Based on a literature review, we selected person- and community-level variables that can affect older people's decisions about where to die. Data on place-of-death and person-level attributes were obtained from the 2013 death certification micro data from Statistics Korea. Data on the population and economic and health care resources in the community where the older deceased resided were obtained from various open public administrative big data including databases on the local tax and resident population statistics, health care resources and infrastructure statistics, and long-term care (LTC) insurance statistics. Community-level data were linked to the death certificate micro data through the town (si-gun-gu) code of the residence of the deceased. Multi-level logistic regression models were used to simultaneously estimate the impacts of community as well as individual-level factors on the place of death. Results: In both the dementia (76.1%) and cancer (87.1%) decedent groups, most older people died in the hospital. Among the older deceased with dementia, hospital death was less likely to occur when the older person resided in a community with a higher supply of LTC facility beds, but hospital death was more likely to occur in communities with a higher supply of LTC hospital beds. Similarly, among the cancer group, the likelihood of a hospital death was significantly lower in communities with a higher supply of LTC facility beds, but was higher in communities with a higher supply of acute care hospital beds. As for individual-level factors, being female and having no spouse were associated with the likelihood of hospital death among older people with dementia. Conclusion: More than three in four older people with dementia die in the hospital, while home is reported to be the place of death preferred by Koreans. To decrease this gap, an increase in the supply of end-of-life (EOL) care at home and in community-based service settings is necessary. EOL care should also be incorporated as an essential part of LTC. Changes in the perception of EOL care by older people and their families are also critical in their decisions about the place of death, and should be supported by public education and other related non-medical, social approaches.

본 연구에서는 정부정책이 효과가 있었는지 파악하기 위하여 과거 10년간의 산업재해 데이터를 살펴보았다. 이들 데이터로부터 중요한 두 개 또는 세 개의 변수간의 관계를 EDA 방법으로 살펴보았다. 근로자수(사업장규모)와 생존확률 간의 관계를 살펴본 결과 근로자수가 많을수록 시간이 지남에 따라 생존확률이 더욱 더 떨어짐(산업재해가 더 많이 일어남)을 알 수 있다. Cox의 비례위험모형을 적용해본 결과 사업장에서 발생한 총산업재해수가 많을수록 해당 사업장에서 산업재해가 발생할 위험성(hazard)이 높아지고, 근로자수가 적을수록 산업재해가 발생할 위험성이 높으며, 업종별로는 농업, 어업 및 임업이 건설업에 비해 산업재해를 당할 위험성이 더 크다. 공단, 민간 및 고용노동부의 역할은 고용노동부만 효과가 있고, 나머지 두 조직은 효과가 없는 것으로 나온다. recurrent event data를 Cox의 비례위험모델로 분석해본 결과 비슷한 결과가 나온다.

빅데이터는 현재 기업 경쟁력의 주요 자산으로 여겨지고 있고 향후에 그 영향력은 더욱 확대될 것으로 전망된다. 그 중요성을 인식한 기업들은 이미 빅데이터를 제품 개발과 마케팅에 적극적으로 활용하고 있으며 정치, 스포츠 등 사회 전반에 걸쳐 적용분야는 점점 늘어나고 있다. 그러나 시스템 구축에 따른 노하우 부족과 고비용은 빅데이터 시스템 도입에 여전히 큰 장애가 되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 중소규모 오프라인 마켓의 POS 판매 데이터를 빅데이터 시스템 중 오픈소스인 하둡(Hadoop) 및 하이브(Hive)를 기반으로 하는 빅데이터 시스템 구현을 목표로 한다. 이러한 융복합을 통해 단순히 손익분석과 재고관리 등에 집중되었던 기존 판매 시스템을 보완하여 고객의 소비패턴과 선호도 조사, 수요에 대한 사전 예측이 가능하도록 하는 경영자의 합리적인 의사결정에 기초자료로 활용할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.
