The government should establish internationally harmonious regulations for effective import and export of necessary resources to other countries. However, the use and the number of pesticides used for the same purpose on same crops are depending on the soil and the climate where the crops are grown. Therefore, if internationally harmonized standards are difficult to establish, it is mandatory to conduct a risk assessment based on scientific data to reflect the domestic situation in order to avoid trade friction or conflict between countries. The government is preparing the implementation of a more regulated PLS (positive list systme) than the existing pesticide management system for safer pesticide management reflecting the recent increasing imported food, changing dietary habits, and changing climate. In order for effectively safe and scientific management of pesticides, the government should strive to communicate with consumers properly and the perception of pesticides by consumers should also be changed.

Background: To evaluate the knowledge, perception and attitudes towards human papilloma virus (HPV) among pre-university students in Malaysia. Study design : In this cross sectional study, between November 2013 to March 2014, in a public university, a convenient sampling method was used. A total of 716 respondents were recruited and interviewed with a set of standard questionnaires for assessment of knowledge, perception and attitudes towards HPV and predictor variables associated with level of knowledge. Results: Almost half (48.9%) of the respondents scored less than 5 and were categorised as having poor knowledge. Three hundred and twelve (43.6%) respondents had moderate knowledge and only 54 (7.5%) respondents exhibited good knowledge with the score of 11 and above. Only 142 (20%) students perceived themselves to be vulnerable to HPV infection though 560 (78.2%) students thought that HPV infection is a serious disease. Perceived benefits and desire to be vaccinated were significantly associated with gender (p=0.000) and knowledge of HPV vaccine and cervical cancer (p=0.000). Conclusions: The level of knowledge regarding HPV among the pre-university students was low. However, student intention for vaccination increased with increasing level of knowledge. Thus, efforts to improve knowledge and awareness should be prioritised to increase uptake of the HPV vaccination programme and hence reduce morbidity and mortality from consequences of HPV infection, including cervical carcinoma.

This study was performed to investigate the change in taste perception during aging and its effects on dietary intake in Korean elderly. The subjects were female aged 65 through 90 in the Anyang area, and college women were included as a comparison group . Dietary intake of the elderly(n=155) and young subjects (n=38) was measured by a 3 day diet record. The taste threshold and 'just right' concentrations(JRC) for sweet and salty tastes were assessed by sensory evaluation . Sucrose solution (0.0.,0.4,0.6,0.8,1.0, 1.2%) and salt solution(0, 0.02, 0.03,0.06,0.09,0.12,0.15%) were used to establish thresholds. for JRC assessment, four suprathreshold sucrose concentrations of 5, 8, 11 and 14% in orange-pineapple flavored juice and salt concentrations of 0.20, 0.34, 0.50and 0.75% in beef stock were prepared. Mean intakes of energy, protein , vitamin A, thiamin , riboflavin, niacin ,calcium and iron of the elderly were below the Korean Recommended Dietary allowances. The elderly showed higher taste thresholds than young subjects of both sweet and salty tastes consumed less calories. Needs to bespecified. The older subjects having high threshold or JRCs for sweet and salty tastes consumed fewer calories from protein and fat. Pearson correlation coefficients was between JRC for sweet and salty tastes 0.54(p<0.01). The correlation coefficients between tastes threshold and nutrient intakes were very low for both age groups. Unlike the college women, in the elderly the JRC of sweet taste of the orange-pineapple juice were negatively correlated with intakes of energy, protein, fats, thiamin , riboflavin , niacin ,vitamin C , iron and consumption of meat and egg food groups (p<0.01). In summation age-related alterations in sweet and salty taste perception were observed in the elderly and dietary intakes of the elderly see to be influenced by these taste perception changes.

Since most construction workers comprehend information on work through sight, the importance of safety signs are increasing by the day. In Korea, due to the sharp economic progress and the higher standard of the workforce, since the end of 1980, each year the number of foreign workers entering the country who working simple technical jobs have increased this condition. This study researched safety signs, which are the final accident prevention measures at the workplace. Based on the study, comprehension of the standard safety signs of the Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA) was lacking at a level of 2.5. Also, the perception level of the Industry Public Safety Law (38%) was very low. And, it was found that sex and experience or non-experience in safety training was not an issue in the level of understanding. However, when satisfying the standards of the Occupational Safety and Health Act and changing the safety signs, the level of understanding went up to 3.49 and the perception level was increased significantly to 70%. Thus, it is concluded that, since the foreign workers are mainly from non-English speaking countries and because the workers of Korea are not familiar with English, in order to provide proper safety information, there must first of all be simplistic and concise pictograms. This will provide needed information and must be coupled with simple English words that can give additional information to the worker and be effective in helping him understand and perceive the safety sign. Also, it has been determined that the existing forms of safety signs and their effectiveness in industry accident prevention must be reassessed.

Perceptions of Library and Information (LI) professionals in Nigeria and the impact of COVID-19 on libraries, librarians and library services, were studied. The significance of demographic factors on LI professionals' perception of COVID-19 and its impact on libraries was tested. Descriptive survey design and Purpose sampling technique were adopted. LIS professionals in Nigeria constituted the population, and an online questionnaire designed by the researchers through Microsoft Forms was used. Descriptive analysis of respondents' demographic data and their covid-19 perception were presented in frequencies and percentages using tables while multivariate regression technique was used to test the significance of relationship between variables at P < 0.05. Findings revealed that many (61.4%) of the respondents agreed that COVID-19 is real but have personal reservations. However, 47.5% indicated that COVID-19 is a scientific invention. On the impacts of COVID-19 on libraries, the study found that COVID-19 is a game changer that will enhance the creation of new services by libraries, cause the reconfiguration of library space for safe operations in post-COVID, establishment of new rules and regulations, and more reliance on e-resources. On the test of association, educational qualification of respondents had a significant impact on respondents' perceptions that COVID-19 will reduce the use of library print resources (P-value = 0.005, B: 0.38, [95% CI: 0.115 - 0.646]) and that library will create new services to address the changes caused by COVID-19. Also, educational qualification of respondents significantly influenced respondents' perception that COVID-19 is real. The study recommends that libraries should take advantage of the season to innovate, and that public health institutions should continually educate people on corona virus to disabuse people's mind of conspiracy theories.

Much research attention has been directed to identify how native speakers perceive non-native speakers' oral proficiency. To investigate the generalizability of previous findings, this study examined segmental, phonological, accentual, and temporal correlates of native speakers' evaluation of L2 Korean proficiency produced by learners with various levels and nationalities. Our experiment results show that proficiency ratings by native speakers significantly correlate not only with rate of speech, but also with the segmental accuracies. The influence of segmental errors has the highest correlation with the proficiency of L2 Korean speech. We further verified this finding within substitution, deletion, insertion error rates. Although phonological accuracy was expected to be highly correlated with the proficiency score, it was the least influential measure. Another new finding in this study is that the role of pitch and accent has been underemphasized so far in the non-native Korean speech perception studies. This work will serve as the groundwork for the development of automatic assessment module in Korean CAPT system.

인지된 자연성(perceived naturalness)의 평가는 인간이 자연공간을 바라보는 '과정'으로서의 인식을 밝히는 것에 목적이 있으며, 자연환경과 인간 사이에 발생하는 교호작용을 설명하고 자연환경의 물리적 특성에 대한 개개인 인식의 차이점을 평가하는 데 주안점이 있다. 한 지역 내에서 뚜렷한 특성을 보이는 생태자산에 대한 인식은 같은 공간임에도 이용자마다 각기 다른 인식으로 드러날 수 있다. 이에 본 연구는 생태자산에 대한 이용자의 인식 및 인터뷰를 근거로 문화서비스 관점에서 인지된 자연성을 평가하였다. 구체적인 방법으로는 근거이론 틀을 활용하여 안산시 지역활동가와 시민으로부터 도출한 지역 생태자산에 대한 서로 다른 4가지 측면의 자연성 인식의 범주를 발견하였다. 안산시 생태자산은 크게 생태자산의 보전과 현명한 개발에 대한 필요성, 생태계의 혜택에 대한 인식, 지역의 자산으로서 대표성, 자산의 이용성과 매력도 등의 자연성 가치가 논의되고 있었다. 이후 Q 방법을 활용하여 25명의 이용자에게 25개 대표 생태자산을 제시하고 4가지 제시된 기준에 따라 개인에게 인지된 가치가 높은 순으로 자산을 구분하도록 하였다. 그 결과, 질문항목별로 서로 다른 가치관을 가지는 이용자 그룹을 구분하고 문화서비스 향유에 대한 가상의 페르소나를 구분하였다. 안산시 25명 이용자의 대표적인 페르소나는 AWP(수생태계의 보전에 대해 중요하게 생각하면서, 수변 경관을 선호하고, 평지형 수변공원을 즐기는 유형)로 나타났다. 인지된 자연성은 생태계서비스 평가 관점에서 '이용자가 인지하는 혜택' 개념과 유사하므로 문화서비스의 평가에 있어서 보다 실질적인 이용자 평가 기준을 제시할 수 있다.

현재 독서에 대한 관심이 고조되어 있지만, 우리나라 실정에 알맞는 독서 관련 평가도구가 마련되어 있지 않아 이에 대한 소개와 개발이 절실히 요구된다. 여러가지 평가 영역 중에서도 독자를 중심으로 한 정서적 측면의 독서 평가는 학생들을 평생 독서가로 이끌 수 있다는 장점을 가진다. 이에 본 연구에서는 독자의 정서적 측면에 기반한 독서 평가도구를 독서 태도, 독서 흥미, 독서 동기유발 그리고 독서에 대한 자아개념, 이 4가지로 나누어 문헌조사법을 사용하여 소개하였다. 또한 이를 기초로 차후에 독서 평가도구 개발 시 참고할 사항을 밝혀놓았다. 정서적 측면의 독서 평가도구 개발 시에는 스스로를 독자로 어떻게 평가하는지에 대한 항목이 가장 우선시되며, 독자 인근의 인간관계(교사, 학부모 그리고 친구)를 통한 평가 항목이 수반되어야 한다. 이러한 적절한 항목의 설정뿐 아니라 평가도구 실시자를 위한 관리법과 해석 및 활용을 위한 지침서도 함께 제시되어야 할 것이다.
