Nowadays, many construction engineering and technology enterprises are evolving to find that prosperity is driven and inspired by an open economy with dynamic markets and fierce multifaceted competition. Besides brand and product uniqueness, the ability to quickly provide customers with quotes are matters of concern. Such a requirement for prompt cost estimation of construction investment projects with the use of a construction price index poses a significant challenge to contractors. This is because the nature of the construction industry is shaped by changes in domestic and foreign economic factors, socio-financial issues, and is under the influence of various micro and macro factors. This paper presents a fuzzy decision-making approach for calculating critical factors that affect the construction price index. A qualitative approach was implemented based on in-depth interviews of experts in the construction industry in Vietnam. A synthetic comparison matrix was calculated using Buckley approach. The CoA approach was applied to defuzzified the fuzzy weights of factors that affect the construction price index. The research results show that the top five critical factors affecting the construction price index in Vietnam are (1) consumer price index, (2) gross domestic product, (3) basic interest rate, (4) foreign exchange rate, and (5) total export and import.

본 연구는 난청 여부에 따른 노인의 생활행태와 사회환경만족도가 삶의 만족도에 미치는 영향을 실증적으로 분석하기 위해 수행되었다. 이를 위해 2020년도 「노인실태조사」 자료의 3,071명(남성 1,892명, 여성 1,179명)을 연구대상으로 설정하였다. 다중회귀모형으로 연구대상의 인구사회학적 변수를 통제하고, 난청 여부에 따른 노인의 생활행태와 사회환경만족도가 삶의 만족도에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다. 연구 결과, 난청 노인은 생활행태의 하위 요인인 경제활동, 친목단체 활동, 경로당 이용 변수와, 사회환경만족도의 하위 요인인 가족만족도와 환경만족도 요인이 삶의 만족도에 정(+)의 영향을 미쳤다. 특히 난청 노인은 비난청 노인보다 삶의 만족도에 긍정적인 영향을 미치는 요인이 생활행태 영역과 사회환경만족도 영역 모두에서 많은 제한이 있었다. 따라서 난청 노인의 삶의 만족도를 향상시키기 위해서 정부와 지방자치단체가 노인성 난청에 대한 복지정책과 시설에 대한 보완을 병행해야 함을 시사한다.

Improved fish post-harvest technologies (IFPT) have been promoted as more efficient methods of fish processing, preservation, and value addition than the traditional methods prevalent in developing countries. The adoption rates, however, do not appear to be convincing. The purpose of this study was to determine the socio-demographic and psychological factors that influence intention of Kenyan farmed fish traders to use IFPT. The technology acceptance model (TAM) was used to properly explain the impact of TAM constructs such as perceived usefulness (PU), perceived ease of use (PEOU), and attitude (ATT), as well as socio-demographic factors such as gender, age, education level and fish trading experience on traders' intention to use the technologies. A cross-sectional survey was conducted to collect data using a semi-structured questionnaire from 146 traders in Busia, Siaya and Kakamega counties. At a significance level of p = 0.05, a linear regression model was used to examine the socio-demographic and psychological determinants of the traders' behavioral intention to use the improved technologies. The regression analysis revealed that PU (β = 0.443; p = 0.000), PEOU (β = 0.364; p = 0.000) and ATT (β = 0.615; p = 0.000) influence traders' intention to use IFPT, with ATT having the highest influence on intention. However, the traders' socio-demographic characteristics have no effect on their intention to use the technologies, as the coefficients for gender (β = 0.148; p = 0.096), age (β = 0.016; p = 0.882), level of education (β = -0.135; p = 0.141) and fish trading experience (β = 0.017; p = 0.869) are all insignificant. These findings show that the traders intend to use IFPT and will use them when it is in their best economic interests.

본 연구는 지역주민참여 보건 프로그램이 정치, 경제적 요인에 의해 실천되는 과정을 파라과이 뎅기열 예방 프로그램인 밍가 암비엔탈을 통해 분석한 것이다. 비판적 의료인류학 분야에서는 보건 의료 프로그램의 실천이 해당 질병의 예방과 퇴치라는 본연의 목적 이외에 사회문화 및 정치경제적 요인이 주요 변수로 작용될 수 있음을 설명하고 있다. 같은 맥락에서 본 연구도 지역 공동체 기반의 보건프로그램이 다양한 외적 요인에 의해 어떻게 작동되는가를 분석하였다. 그 결과 밍가 암비엔탈 프로그램은 뎅기열 퇴치라는 보건 프로그램으로서 실효성에 대한 우려에도 불구하고 국가와 지역사회의 정치인, 기업 등 다양한 이해관계 집단에 의해 실천되는 경향을 보이고 있다. 이 사례를 통해 본 연구는 지역주민참여 보건 프로그램이 그 본래의 목적과 다르게 정치경제적 관계에 의해 작동될 수 있음을 파악하였다.

Objectives: As the size of elderly population living alone grows, socioeconomic diversity has also increased. This study examined if social risk factors of poor self-rated health were distinguishable between the low income elderly and their non-low income counterparts both living alone. Methods: The '2006 Elderly Health Interview Survey' conducted by D-gu in Seoul was utilized. We divided the elderly living alone into two groups depending on their economic status: low income and non-low income. Employing logistic regression, we analyzed the associations of poor self-rated health with socio-demographic factors, health-related factors, social support, the relations with children, social activities, welfare service use, and the perception of neighborhood safety. Results: Proportion of rating one's own health being poor was different between two populations. Social support was important for the self-rated health of the non-low income elderly, while welfare service use, the perception of neighborhood safety, and the relations with children were noticeable for the low income elderly. Conclusions: To better understand the health need of elderly population living alone, their heterogeneity in socioeconomic characteristics should be taken into account.
