  • This paper explores community-based flood disaster risk governance by applying a sensemaking approach. The conceptual sensemaking framework consists of individual experience, dialogue, and socialization components, which together comprise an interconnected system. This study presents a method for applying this framework by using a concerns table and a SWOT analysis to examine the concerns of residents living in a flood plain. A series of community-based workshops on flood risk reduction was conducted with residents of the flood-prone Muraida community in Shiga Prefecture, Japan. During the workshops, residents' concerns regarding flood risk surfaced. This study used an idiographic approach to examine the proceedings of the workshops. SWOT issue analysis was used to examine the strengths and weaknesses in the Muraida community's internal capacities, and examine the opportunities and threats in the external capacities (e.g., local government). Additionally, a SWOT strategy analysis was conducted to identify strategies for knowledge sharing and development of cooperative countermeasures that can be undertaken between the Muraida community and the local government. The results show that the concerns table can not only summarize the main concerns of all workshops, but also provide an understanding of alternative flood risk countermeasures that can be carried out.

  • 대중문화를 연구하는 것이 '우리를 대중으로 만드는 메커니즘을 이해하는 것'이라면, 디자인을 연구하는 것은 우리 대중의 삶을 질적으로 향상시키는 메커니즘을 알아내고 발전시키는 것이다. 이것은 <대중문화>와 <디자인>의 관계가 사회적, 문화적, 역사적 관계 속에서 밀접하게 연계되어 있기 때문이지만, 여기서는 <대중문화>와 <디자인>을 각각의 독립변인으로 분리하여, 이미 연구되어진 대중문화개념 규정의 여섯 가지 기준들을 통해 끊임없이 변모하는 디자인의 목표, 역할, 내용, 그리고 조형성 등을 '문화적 요소'로 연구하여 분석하였다. 따라서 여기서는 디자인 초기단계인 '디자인 기획'에 있어서 '문화적 사고'를 담아 <문화가 있는 디자인>의 방향을 제시해 보고자 한 것이다.

  • Oral, cervical and breast cancers, which are either preventable and/or amenable to early detection and treatment, are the leading causes of cancer-related morbidity and mortality in India. In this paper, we describe implementation science research priorities to catalyze the prevention and control of these cancers in India. Research priorities were organized using a framework based on the implementation science literature and the World Health Organization's definition of health systems. They addressed both community-level as well as health systems-level issues. Community-level or "pull" priorities included the need to identify effective strategies to raise public awareness and understanding of cancer prevention, monitor knowledge levels, and address fear and stigma. Health systems-level or "push" and "infrastructure" priorities included dissemination of evidence-based practices, testing of point-of-care technologies for screening and diagnosis, identification of appropriate service delivery and financing models, and assessment of strategies to enhance the health workforce. Given the extent of available evidence, it is critical that cancer prevention and treatment efforts in India are accelerated. Implementation science research can generate critical insights and evidence to inform this acceleration.

  • This paper investigates factors impacting on sustainable fashion buying intention of consumers by reviewing studies about the topic and conducting a survey with consumers in Ho Chi Minh City. In detail, firstly, an interview with 15 respondents was conducted to check the understanding of concepts and questions and, secondly, the study used the convenient sampling method, with 172 samples collected and analyzed, of which young respondents accounted for the majority of the sample. The respondents tend to go shopping many times in a year, with the number of people buying fashion products from every week to every two months accounting for 65.2% totally. The findings suggest that the firms should prioritize strategies that can improve customer attitude toward sustainable fashion, making them feel good, pleasant, satisfied and favorable when engaging in sustainable fashion consumption. This study concludes that consumers need more information to enable them to make better ethical decisions. This study proposes that the major channels that consumers use to seek sustainable product information include public education, peer influence, and corporate marketing information about the products. This study concludes that public education and corporate marketing information on green consumption education is effective for improving consumer sustainable buying intention.

  • In recent years, there have been several studies on service quality in higher education, however, research on service quality and sustainable activities affecting student loyalty has been largely ignored in previous studies. This paper investigates the role of service quality in creating student loyalty, and how university sustainability practices and student satisfaction mediate the relationship between service quality and student loyalty. The paper draws attention to university sustainability practices and understanding its impact on student satisfaction and loyalty in Vietnamese public universities. A quantitative methodology is explored, and data was collected through an online structured questionnaire. Responses are gathered from 278 students of public universities in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. Structural equation modeling is used to examine the associations between the constructs by using the PLS-SEM approach. The results show that service quality has a significant effect on university sustainability practices, student satisfaction, and student loyalty. In addition, university sustainability practices and student satisfaction also mediate the relationship between service quality and student loyalty. The author's findings may guide the key decision-makers in universities to incorporate service quality and universities' sustainability practices in their strategy and thereby improve student satisfaction and student loyalty.

  • 본 연구는 일부 치위생(학)과 학생을 대상으로 흡연실태와 흡연지식 및 금연지식 정도를 조사하기 위해 설문조사한 결과 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. 1. 치위생(학)과 학생들의 흡연율은 6.4%로 치과위생사를 대상으로 조사한 결과(4.3%)보다 높은 수준이었다. 따라서 재학생의 금연에 대한 인식 변화와 건강 그리고 금연을 지도해야 하는 예비 금연지도자로서 선행되어야 할 금연을 위한 교육이 필요하다고 할 수 있다. 2. 흡연경험자등의 최초 흡연시기는 중학교시절이 42.6%로 가장 많았다. 따라서 청소년시기에 담배에 조기에 노출되지 않도록 국가적인 차원의 적극적인 노력이 필요한 것으로 생각된다. 3. 금연을 시도해 본 경험은 89.3%였고, 금연실패유무의 이유로는 개인의 의지때문이라고 15%가 대답하였다. 따라서 금연시도율을 높이고, 금연실패율을 낮추기 위해서 반드시 금연을 해야 하는 타당성을 이해시키고, 금연과 관련된 학생들에 대해 1회성 교육이 아닌 지속적인 교육이 이루어져야 할 것이다. 4. 이상의 결과를 볼 때 금연교육은 어릴때부터 지속적으로 해야 하며, 흡연을 하고 있는 예비 치과위생사들에게 흡연에 대한 인식과 금연의 필요성을 보다 더 확실히 알 수 있도록 치위생(학)과 교육과정내에서의 금연교육이 절실하게 필요한 것으로 사료된다.

  • 본 연구의 목적은 공공도서관 이용자들이 지향하는 가치관이 그들의 공공도서관 서비스 이용과 어떤 관계가 있는지 밝히는 것이다. 개인의 가치관은 Schwartz의 보편적 가치이론에서 개발된 PVQ-21의 총 21문항을 사용하여 측정하였다. 연구방법으로 설문조사법을 사용하여 전국의 18세 이상 성인 1,000명으로부터 수집한 설문응답을 다차원척도법, t-검증, 다중상관관계분석법으로 분석하였다. 분석 결과, 현재 우리나라 공공도서관은 공동체나 자신을 둘러싼 사회 공동의 발전을 가치있게 생각하는 개인들 보다는 자기 자신의 개인적 흥미와 새로움을 발견하고 즐거움을 추구하려는 가치가 강한 개인들에 의해 이용되는 경향이 강한 것으로 나타났다. 공공도서관이 제공하는 서비스가 독서, 교육지원 등 개인적 성격이 강한 활동이 주류를 이루므로, 공동체적 성향보다 개인주의적 성향이 강한 개인이 도서관을 더 활용하도록 기여하고 있는 것으로 파악되었다. 본 연구결과는 그간 공공도서관 이용을 설명하는 변인으로 연구된 바 없었던 개인의 가치관을 조사하였다는데 의의가 있다. 본 연구 결과는 개인의 가치 지향성과의 상관성 속에서 파악된 공공도서관의 현재의 기능과 이용을 이해하는데 기여한 동시에, 본 연구에서 상대적으로 약하게 드러난 공동체적 성격에 대해 더 세심히 살펴 볼 필요성을 제기해 준다.

  • This paper deals with free vibration analysis of non-uniform column resting on elastic foundations and subjected to follower force at its free end. The internal pores and graphene platelets (GPLs) are distributed in the matrix according to different patterns. The model is proposed with material parameters varying in the thickness of column to achieve graded distributions in both porosity and nanofillers. The elastic modulus of the nanocomposite is obtained by using Halpin-Tsai micromechanics model. The differential quadrature method as an efficient and accurate numerical approach is used to discretize the governing equations and to implement the boundary conditions. It is observed that the maximum vibration frequency obtained in the case of symmetric porosity and GPL distribution, while the minimum vibration frequency is obtained using uniform porosity distribution. Results show that for better understanding of mechanical behavior of nanocomposite column, it is crucial to consider porosities inside the material structure.
