In 2023, an outbreak of Lumpy Skin Disease in Ganghwa-gun, Incheon, South Korea, resulted in nine confirmed cases, comprising 8.4% of the national total, a disproportionately high percentage. Epidemiological investigations indicated a significant role of biting insects in viral transmission, particularly in the northern region. However, human-mediated transmission between farms under the same management was also identified. Clinical presentations in infected cattle varied, ranging from anorexia and skin nodules to severe systemic illness. Control measures included culling and burial of infected animals, a standstill order on susceptible livestock movement, and a mass vaccination campaign encompassing all 21,983 cattle in Incheon. Movement restrictions were gradually lifted following negative test results in designated surveillance, protection, and control zones. Environmental testing conducted 30 days after restriction removal allowed for restocking of previously affected farms. This outbreak highlights the vulnerability of the South Korean cattle industry to LSD and emphasizes the critical need for robust preventative measures, including enhanced vector control strategies and widespread vaccination.

The liver fluke Opisthorchis viverrini is a serious health problem in Thailand. Infection is associated with cholangiocarcinoma (CCA), endemic among human populations in northeast and north Thailand where raw fish containing fluke metacercariae are frequently consumed. Recently, Thailand public health authorities have been organized to reduce morbidity and mortality particularly in the northeast through O. viverrini and CCA screening projects. Health modification is one of activities included in this campaign, but systemic guidelines of modifying and developing health behavior among liver fluke and CCA prevention in communities towards health belief and social support theory are still various and unclear. Here we review the guidelines for modifying and developing health behavior among populations in rural communities to strengthen understanding regarding perceived susceptibility, severity, benefits, and barriers to liver fluke and CCA prevention. This model may be useful for public health officers and related organizations to further health behavior change in endemic areas.

With the improvement of the Information Technology and the change of the business environment, the dependency of business on the Information Technology shows sharply increase. The Information Technology, however, is centered on the support of the technology viewpoint and thus the influence and effect of Information Technology on the business is hardly analyzed. The information system, therefore, requires not only technology-centric support management but service-oriented and systematic introduction of Information Technology Service Management(ITSM). The domestic ITSM market is currently expanding into variety of industries like finance, telecommunication, manufacturing and public service and at the same time the consequent reconstruction process of information system is continuously under way so as to qualify for the ISO 20000 certification. Especially the public organizations rapidly adopt the ITSM, in order to improve the quality of public service together with a goal of realizing the electronic government and of managerial innovation. The existing ITSM still, however, shows the tendency of depending only on the system construction and the management on the visible requirements whereas the overall process is not likely being improved. Hence, this study suggests, focusing on the life cycle of service, the model of ITSM based on Information Technology Infrastructure Library(ITIL) v3 which is appropriate for the public service. We expect, as stated in this study, that our ITSM model shall be widely accepted to the public agencies who promote the advance campaign by setting up the ITSM or reconstructing the existing process.

사회적 관심이 커지고 있는 독서진흥 활동을 통해 도서관의 사회적 가치를 확보할 수 있다. 이를 위한 구체적 방안 제시를 위해 문헌연구 방법을 활용하여, 도서관이 직면한 사회적 과제를 분석하고. 그러한 과제를 수행하는 구체적 방안을 제시하고자 했다. 현재 각 지역에서는 도서관, 특히 어린이도서관에 대한 사회적 관심이 증대하고 있다. 이미 공공도서관들의 다양한 독서진흥 활동을 통해 도서관의 중요성을 인정받고 있어 보다 강력한 독서진흥 활동은 공공도서관의 역할 확대와 이를 통한 사회적 기반 확보에 중요한 방안이 되고 있다. 따라서 도서관은 정부, 공공과 민간부문의 다양한 독서진흥사업을 조정할 협의기구 구성, 운영, 법적 기반 마련, 도서관의 자발적인 독서진흥 프로그램 개발추진, 독서 및 책 정보제공 체계 구축과 대중서평지 발행, 독서 캠페인과 독서활동 주도, 가정에서의 독서활동 지원, 각종 독서진흥 관련 시상제도 확대 등 구체적 방안을 주도적으로 추진해 나가야 한다.

In this paper, local public archives is referred to the public archives of provincial governments and metropolitan city governments as defined in the public Records Management Act. Under the Act, as professional archives, the local public archives preserves records designated as permanent preservation which the local government and its sub-agencies created or received to conduct public business. The Act also allows local public archives to establish an appropriate basic plan to manage its holdings as well as to oversight its sub-agencies. The Act stipulates that the local public archives are to be established in all provinces and metropolitan cities. The local public archives shall preserve archival heritage safely and utilize use of the recorded information as defined in the Article one of the Act. The local archives shall respect the principle of provenance. It is expected that the local archives shall strengthen local archival promotion campaigns which necessarily reflect unique local circumstances. However, as the Act just recommended the establishment of local public archives not to force as a mandatory procedure, it resulted in a flow of some confusions and misinterpretations. Despite the act was proclaimed two years ago, the local public archives are not yet established, not to mention that no preparatory works are on the way. To establish the local public archives effectively which meet local residents needs and demands, provincial governments and metropolitan city governments should proceed a well-prepared preparatory works plan considering the steps to transform them into the local public archives when they establish agency records centers. The first step in this process is to reach at a common consensus on the functions and roles of the local public archives which accommodates local residents needs and demands. Secondly, by analyzing the functions of archives to be established, an estimation of needed human resources, facilities, equipments, organization, budget appropriation, and local rules should be performed. Otherwise, the establishment of decent local archives is a far remote future. One of the methods to proceed this project systematically is to establish a local research institute for the local archives and cultural studies which would be put under the local university authority while consulting with local governments, local civil organizations, local historical and cultural societies. It is very undesirable to stress too much upon administrative efficiency when concerned parties discuss the functions and roles of the local public archives. They must keep in mind that when the functions to collect and use historically valuable records are active then administrative efficiency can be raised as well as accountability. Collecting and arranging historically valuable records is a short-cut way to promote accountability and develop local political culture. The local public archives is a valuable community historical center and an effective medium to facilitate historical speaking and writing among local people, something more than a simple public archives. Then our campaign for the establishment of local public archives can be a meaningful political cultural movement.

Background: The aim of this study was to assess the level of awareness and knowledge about signs and risk factors of oral cancer in the general population in Saudi Arabia. Materials and Methods: A self-administered questionnaire was used to collect information from Saudi adults aged 15 years and older. A total of 679 persons participated in the survey. Descriptive statistics were calculated and chi-square tests, t-tests, and one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) were used to examine differences between groups. The significance level was set at p<0.05. Results: Only 53.6% of the participants had heard of oral cancer. Smoking and alcohol consumption were identified as the major risk factors by 81.7% and 56.3% of the participants, respectively. Only 22.2% and 18.2%, respectively, were able to correctly identify red and white lesions as early signs of oral cancer. Participants with less than high school education were significantly less aware, and had much less knowledge, of the signs and risk factors of oral cancer (p<0.05). Conclusions: This survey demonstrates a general lack of awareness among the public about oral cancer and a lack of knowledge about its signs and risk factors. There is a clear need to inform and educate the public in matters relating to the known risk factors associated with oral cancer. A media campaign informing the public about oral cancer is clearly required.

This study was designed to investigate the knowledge of urinary incontinence and its affecting factors among women aged over 30 years in Korea, and to provide the basic data for the primary urinary incontinence management program through the community-based cross sectional study from May 7 to July 18, 2000. The subjects, who were able to understand the questionnaires and consented their participation in the study, consisted of 2183 women, aged over 30 up to 89 years, residing in Seoul, Kyongki$\cdot$Kangwon, Chungchong, YongNam, HoNam, Cheju provinces. It took about 20 to 30 minutes to fill up the questionnaires. The data were analyzed by multiple regression with using SAS program. The results were as follows ; 1. The overall reported knowledge of urinary incontinence was $5.21\pm3.05$(range 0-14). Over the half of the subjects gave the correct answer to 5 items which referred to effects, treatment and management of urinary incontinence. Among items associated with the cause, two items, such as 'many common over-the-counter medications can cause involuntary urine loss', and 'involuntary urine loss is caused by only one or two conditions', were less likely to be correctly answered. 2. Those who were younger, had more education, or had urinary incontinence, were more likely to provide correct answers. The above findings indicated that the education program and campaign of the urinary incontinence should be developed and operated for those who are elderly and have had less education.

In this rapidly changing knowledge-based society, technology is regarded as one of critical factors for competitive edge and sustainable growth. Therefore, most of countries in the world have strengthened their efforts to promote industrial technology innovation and development. In Korea, KIAT(Korea Institute for Advancement of Technology) newly established m May 2009 as a quasi-government institute with the integration of six organizations including KTTC(Korea Technology Transfer Center) has played a crucial role in transferring and commercializing industrial technologies between public and private sectors. Generally, technology transfer and commercialization have been conducted by the contracts which are very detailed, complex and diverse. To solve any disputes and controversies between the parties, it is essential to make a prior agreement on the amicable settlement by the use of Arbitration Clause. By reviewing the characteristics, process, current situation and model contracts of domestic technology transfer in Korea, it is quite recommend for arbitration-related organizations such as KCAB(Korean Commercial Arbitration Board) to foster the strong campaign for the popular use of Arbitration Clause. It will contribute to settle any disputes and controversies between the parties more speedy, economically and rationally, thereby promoting the technology transfer and commercialization in Korea.

In Indonesia, concern about environmental protection is increasing. Thus, companies not only adjust their products but also create promotion strategies with environmentally friendly messages, called green marketing. This study identifies the effect of green marketing on purchase intentions. A quantitative method with an explanatory design was conducted. Data was gathered online. In this study, the population was @InnisfreeIndonesia Instagram followers. Thus, a direct message with the survey invitation was sent to randomly selected Instagram followers. Additional followers were invited daily for about a month until 100 responses were collected. The majority of respondents were Indonesian females, age 21-25. The results show that green products partially influence purchase intentions. Once consumers consider environmental friendly issues before buying a skin care product, they may identify whether the product is toxic-free, environmentally friendly, and holds a certification that identifies it as such. Thus, potential consumers tend to seek information to set expectations about the product they want to buy, prioritize them over other products, and to refer the product to others.
