Objectives: An adverse outcome pathway is a biological pathway that disturbs homeostasis and causes toxicity. It is a conceptual framework for organizing existing biological knowledge and consists of the molecular initiating event, key event, and adverse output. The AOP concept provides intuitive risk identification that can be helpful in evaluating the carcinogenicity of chemicals and in the prevention of cancer through the assessment of chemical carcinogenicity predictions. Methods: We reviewed various papers and books related to the application of AOPs for the prevention of occupational cancer. We mainly used the internet to search for the necessary research data and information, such as via Google scholar(http://scholar.google.com), ScienceDirect(www.sciencedirect.com), Scopus(www.scopus. com), NDSL(http: //www.ndsl.kr/index.do) and PubMed(http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed). The key terms searched were "adverse outcome pathway," "toxicology," "risk assessment," "human exposure," "worker," "nanoparticle," "applications," and "occupational safety and health," among others. Results: Since it focused on the current state of AOP for the prediction of toxicity from chemical exposure at work and prospects for industrial health in the context of the AOP concept, respiratory and nanomaterial hazard assessments. AOP provides an intuitive understanding of the toxicity of chemicals as a conceptual means, and it works toward accurately predicting chemical toxicity. The AOP technique has emerged as a future-oriented alternative to the existing paradigm of chemical hazard and risk assessment. AOP can be applied to the assessment of chemical carcinogenicity along with efforts to understand the effects of chronic toxic chemicals in workplaces. Based on these predictive tools, it could be possible to bring about a breakthrough in the prevention of occupational and environmental cancer. Conclusions: The AOP tool has emerged as a future-oriented alternative to the existing paradigm of chemical hazard and risk assessment and has been widely used in the field of chemical risk assessment and the evaluation of carcinogenicity at work. It will be a useful tool for prediction, and it is possible that it can help bring about a breakthrough in the prevention of occupational and environmental cancer.

In the formation of a socially oriented economy in the context of European integration, the development of tourism is one of the priority areas that positively affects the socio-economic situation of the country as a whole and its regions in particular, stimulates important economic activities and strengthens Ukraine's positive image in Europe and the world. In view of this, in the framework of a thorough study of the tourism industry it is necessary to assess its potential. This study proposes an assessment of tourism potential in the regional context, which consists of consistent implementation of six steps, namely: first, the definition of research objects for which the tourism potential is determined; secondly, the formation of a set of basic features for assessing tourism potential of certain objects; thirdly, the collection of information on individual indicators, which are selected to assess the tourism potential of the objects; fourth, the calculation of parametric indices by comparing the indicators of each individual object of study (region) with the average values in the set of objects under study; fifth, the definition of a generalized index of tourism potential of the region; sixth, grouping regions by the values of the generalized index of tourism potential. Execution of the stated algorithm involves the use of various methods, in particular, statistical, graphical, parametric, the analysis of hierarchies, matrix and cartographic. Approbation of the proposed assessment of tourism potential at the regional level in Ukraine allowed to group regions according to the values of the generalized index of tourism potential, which can be used as a basis for developing measures to increase and enhance their tourism potential in Ukraine in terms of European integration.

이 연구는 전자자원 선정에 있어서 컨스펙터스의 적용가능성을 가늠하고자 한 연구이다. 컨스펙터스는 원래 단위 도서관에 있어서 주제분야별 자료 수집의 수준을 규정하기 위한 도구이지만 기존 인쇄기반 자료의 평가에 초점이 맞추어져 있다. 따라서 전자자원이 급속히 증가하면서 발생하는 한계점들이 지적되고 있기도 하다. 이에 따라 전자자원의 선정에 있어서도 적용 가능한 수정된 컨스펙터스 모형을 제시하고자 하는 것이 이 연구의 목적이다. 이를 위하여 우선 컨스펙터스의 발전과정을 개괄하고 물리적 장서개발에 있어서 컨스펙터스의 중요성을 일별하였다. 이어서 전자자원의 속성을 고려하여 컨스펙터스를 수정, 제안한 연구들에서 제시한 모형들의 주요 특성을 조사한 후 주요 논점들을 종합하여 전자자원의 선정에 참고할 수 있는 컨스펙터스 모형을 제안하였다.

전국의 112개 중학교의 213명의 과학 교사들과 43명의 사범대학 교수들의 평정과 자기 보고를 토대로 제 6차 중학교 과학 교육과정과 그 운영에 대해 조사하였다. 조사 문항들은 과학 교육과정의 네 단계와 조사 항목별로 분류되었다. 제 6차 중학교 과학 교육과정의 계획 단계에서 제 6차 중학교 교육과정의 '목표'와 '내용 체계 내용'은 탐구 활동의 강화라는 개정 방침에 비추어 적절하였다. 그러나, 학습 분량은 적정화되지 못하였고, 방법은 제대로 실현되기 어려웠다. 문서화 단계에서 '목표', '내용 체계','내용', '방법', '평가'는 중학교 과학을 지도하는 데 실질적인 도움을 줄 수 있다고 보기 어려웠다. 시행 단계에서, 중학교 과학 교사들은 지역 사회 문제를 소재로 활용하지 못하였으며, 학습 집단 조직의 다양화, 평가 도구의 공동 개발, 학생들의 개인차를 고려한 수업 및 프로그램의 운영을 실천하지 못하였다. 이에는 학습 분량의 과다, 자료의 미비, 지원의 부족 등이 원인이 되었다. 마지막으로 제 6차 중학교 과학 교육과정의 실현 단계에서, 제 6차 교육과정에 따라 학습한 학생들은 그 이전의 학생들과 비교하여 상대적으로 높은 성취를 보이지 않는 것으로 나타났다. 이 논문은 1996년 한국과학재단 국제공동연구비 (966-1300-001-2) 지원에 의해 수행된 연구 결과 일부이다.

The main aim of the study is to test a house pricing model by combining hedonic and asset-based pricing models. An understanding of the relationship between house pricing and its return (the rental income) helps to establish houses as a significant asset class. The model tested the relationship between house pricing (dependent variable) and the house attributes (independent variables) derived from Freeman's framework of housing attributes. This study uses a large data-set of 1,899 sample of new, high-end houses purchased between 2016 and 2019 collected from the national capital region of India (Delhi-NCR). The algorithm was built in R-Script, and stepwise multiple linear regression was used to analyze the model. The analysis of the model proves that the three significant variables, namely, carpet area, pay-off, and annual maintenance charges explain the price function. Further, the model is statistically fit. The major contribution of the study is to understand the key factors and their influence on the house pricing. The model will be helpful in risk assessment in the housing investment and enhance the chances of investment. Policy-makers can use information about the underlying valuation drivers of the house prices to stabilize the market and also in framing the tax policies.
