  • As Daniel Bell says, that modern society is an information society. In contrast to earlier days, modern society has placed a high value on information and knowledge. Therefore, modern civilization depends largely on information and knowledged, which is the most valuable sources of all intelligence activities. By coordinating a large number of human action, the information creates a powerful social tool. It combines its personnel with its resources and new materials at various level. At the same time, It continually evaluates how well it is performing and tries to adjust itself accordingly in order to achieve social goals. As we shall see, all this allows information to sew the various needs of society. In connection with above mentioned problem consciousness, the study is designed to sew the following purposes. As its title indicates, and perhaps most significant. This study is to review and reinterpret the existing literature on local telecommunication system, networks, and policy direction in order to arrive at a somewhat more general approach to understanding them. In local telecommunications service, the service exploitation and promotion and database development must be accomplished by establishing local telecommunications. If we develop local telecommunications toward the progressing direction, we would dissolve the regional information disparity and could also make the local policy suited for high-intelligence society. It is true of any science that knowledge is never complete. It is also true of a science that knowledge should grow, through systematic reexamination of the body of findings. There are certainly true of this study on the developmental direction for local telecommunication system.

  • Background: This study used receiver operating characteristic curve to analyze Surveillance, Epidemiology and End Results (SEER) Ewing sarcoma (ES) outcome data. The aim of this study was to identify and optimize ES-specific survival prediction models and sources of survival disparities. Materials and Methods: This study analyzed socio-economic, staging and treatment factors available in the SEER database for ES. 1844 patients diagnosed between 1973-2009 were used for this study. For the risk modeling, each factor was fitted by a Generalized Linear Model to predict the outcome (bone and joint specific death, yes/no). The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC) was computed. Similar strata were combined to construct the most parsimonious models. Results: The mean follow up time (S.D.) was 74.48 (89.66) months. 36% of the patients were female. The mean (S.D.) age was 18.7 (12) years. The SEER staging has the highest ROC (S.D.) area of 0.616 (0.032) among the factors tested. We simplified the 4-layered risk levels (local, regional, distant, un-staged) to a simpler non-metastatic (I and II) versus metastatic (III) versus un-staged model. The ROC area (S.D.) of the 3-tiered model was 0.612 (0.008). Several other biologic factors were also predictive of ES-specific survival, but not the socio-economic factors tested here. Conclusions: ROC analysis measured and optimized the performance of ES survival prediction models. Optimized models will provide a more efficient way to stratify patients for clinical trials.

  • 본 연구에서는 정보화에 따라 국토공간구조가 어떻게 변화할 것인가에 대하여 국토정책전문가, 정보화정책전문가, 그리고 인터넷이용자에 대해 실시한 설문조사의 결과를 정리하고 그 의미를 찾고자 한다. 종합적으로 볼 때 서울의 기능과 역할이 강화될 가능성은 여전히 남아있으며 정보화의 확산정도에 따라 인구분산 내지 집중의 반전을 어느 정도 가능할 것으로 보여진다. 대도시의 외연적 확산은 어느 정도 한계를 가질 것으로 전망되며 도시내부구조는 제한된 기능적 분화와 다중심지의 출현이 전망된다. 지역의 발전잠재력 실현과 관련한 정보학 정책의 추진 등을 고려할 때 정보화는 지역간 균형발전에 기여할 기회가 보다 나은 것으로 전망한다. 전반적으로 정보화의 영향에 대하여 국토전문가보다는 정보전문가가 긍정적인 효과(지방으로의 분산, 지역격차의 해소 등)를 전망하고 있다.

  • 모든 국민에 대한 기본통신의 보편적 서비스 제공 정책에 힘입어 일반 공중전화망에 의한 기본 통신 서비스 부문에서의 지역 간의 격차는 상당히 해소되었으나, 최근 정보화가 급격히 추진됨에 따라 고도 정보통신분야의 서비스에 있어서는 지역별로 편중현상이 발생하고 있다. 특히, 도서지역은 환해성과 격리성 등의 지리적 요인 및 인구밀도, 소득 및 통화량 등이 육지에 비해 현저히 낮은 관계로 가입자망 고도화가 이루어지지 않고 있다. 이에 따라 도서지역은 정보화의 소외 지역으로 낡게되어 지역 간의 발전격차가 심화됨은 물론 다가오는 해양시대를 능동적으로 대처하는데 있어서 커다란 문제점을 안고 있다. 본 논문은 현재 우리나라 도서지역 통신망의 구성 운용현황 및 문제점 등을 분석하고 도서 주민에게 고도 정보서비스를 경제적, 효율적으로 제공하기 위한 가입자 망 고도화 방안에 대해 검토하였다.

  • The percentage of postnatal disabled people and elderly population is rapidly increased by the industrialization, and the improvement of medical technology. The disparity between the city and rural area is in the way to disabled people who need rehabilitation. To solve these problems, Community Based Rehabilitation(CBR) is suggested by WHO. In this study, at first, the CBR model considering the specific characteristics of AnSan City are presented. Secondly, the first, the second, and the third rehabilitation facilities in AnSan City are classified by the CBR model. Thirdly, the estimation of optimum space for physical therapy and occupational therapy at rehabilitation center and public health center are sugested, which are the second level rehabilitation facilities. There are some differences in the distribution of population between new and old area in AnSan City. In other words, the subject population of CBR program in old area is relatively higher than that of new area. So, the CBR program for AnSan City must reflect their regional characteristics. In this study, the therapeutic boundaries of second level rehabilitation facilities is decided through the survey of physical therapists and occupational therapists in general hospitals and nursing homes.

  • Background: Goal-oriented communication of risk of hazards is necessary in order to reduce risk of workers' exposure to chemicals. Adequate training of workers and enterprise priority setting are essential elements. Cleaning enterprises have many challenges and the existing paradigms influence the risk levels of these enterprises. Methods: Information on organization and enterprises' prioritization in training programs was gathered from cleaning enterprises. A measure of enterprises' conceptual level of importance of chemical health hazards and a model for working out the risk index (RI) indicating enterprises' conceptual risk level was established and used to categorize the enterprises. Results: In 72.3% of cases, training takes place concurrently with task performances and in 67.4% experienced workers conduct the trainings. There is disparity between employers' opinion on competence level of the workers and reality. Lower conceptual level of importance was observed for cleaning enterprises of different sizes compared with regional safety delegates and occupational hygienists. Risk index values show no difference in risk level between small and large enterprises. Conclusion: Training of cleaning workers lacks the prerequisite for suitability and effectiveness to counter risks of chemical health hazards. There is dereliction of duty by management in the sector resulting in a lack of competence among the cleaning workers. Instituting acceptable easily attainable safety competence level for cleaners will conduce to risk reduction, and enforcement of attainment of the competence level would be a positive step.

  • In the last several decades, and especially since the Chinese launching of the Belt and Road (BRI) initiative in 2013, the Chinese presence in Central Asia has intensified. Russia and Chinese leaders deny that there is any conflict of interests between them, while the standard narrative has been that the two states adhere to a functional division of tasks in which China concentrates on economic activity while Russia acts as the security guarantor for the region. This article argues that the professed equanimity between the Russian and Chinese leaderships masks the emergence of widening cracks in their relationship with regard to Central Asia. The convenient narrative of a functional division of tasks between the two states is called into question by China's increasingly active presence in the military and security sector in the region, but China's influence is growing throughout the Central Asian economic, political, and social order. China's movement into Central Asia challenges Russia's claim to act as an equal partner of China, as well as its pretensions to regional hegemony. This development reflects the widening disparity between the two states with respect to their power capabilities but it also exposes the interactions between Russia and China in Central Asia as the most vulnerable aspect of their relationship. In Central Asia, a defensive Russia encounters an ascendant China.

  • This study examines the relationship between public service satisfaction, trust in local government, and community satisfaction. Previous studies on community satisfaction have insufficiently dealt with public services or trust in local government and have not fully conducted an integrated analysis. To close these knowledge gaps, this study includes public service satisfaction that was constructed with the subcomponents economic support, education, and public safety and trust in local government as factors affecting community satisfaction. Moreover, this study verified the mediating effect of trust in local government between public service satisfaction and community satisfaction. Online surveys were carried out with 980 residents in Jeonbuk, Korea, and structural equation modeling (SEM) was employed. The results indicated that public service satisfaction affected community satisfaction directly or indirectly. In particular, the satisfaction with public safety influenced community satisfaction both directly and indirectly. In addition, trust in local government had a mediating effect between all sub-components of public service satisfaction and community satisfaction. Today, regional disparity between urban and rural areas in developing countries is widening. As a result, residents in rural areas are gradually moving to urban areas. Therefore, rural areas need to increase the community satisfaction of their residents. In this regard, this study suggests important policy implications for community satisfaction enhancement.

  • 1980년대 한국의 산업구조조정과 지역불균등발전은 70년대말 직면한 위기를 극복하 고 총량적 경제성장을 지속시키기 위해 외연적 팽창과 내포적 발전을 동시에 추구했으뎌, 그 결과 한국 경제는 포드주의적 축적체제에서 주변성을 탈각하고 성숙되었다. 산업구조의 외연적 팽창과정에서 자본의 공간적 이동과 분업체계의 확충은 기존의 수도권-동남권의 양 극체제를 일정하게 유지하면서 한편으로 수도권지역에 산업의 재집중과 또 다른 한편으로 새롭게 조성된 호남, 충청권으로의 분산을 촉진시켰다. 산업구조의 내포적 발전과정에서 포 드주의적 분업체계의 심화는 경영관리 및 연구개발의 구상기능을 강화시키고 생산자서비스 를 일정하게 포섭한 독점자본의 본사, 생산공정의 자동화와 제품의 표준화, 규격화로 대량생 산체제를 달성한 대기업의 분공장, 이들 주변에서 값싼 노동력으로 부품생산을 담당하는 영 세하청공장들 간의 사회공간적 위계화를 촉진시키면서, 독점자본에 의한 공간지배를 보다 확대시키고 또한 치밀하게 함으로써 지역불균등발전을 심화시켰다.
