Objectives: The purpose of this study is to examine the effect of the raise of cigarette prices by KRW 2,000 at the beginning of 2015 on the change in smoking behavior among male office workers, and to analyze the correlation of various factors including their work behaviors and socio-economic factors with their smoking rate. Methods: In this research, a follow-up observation panel was constituted with 420 smokers as targets from among male office workers at a bank located in Daegu, South Korea. A cross-analysis and ANOVA analysis were carried out in order to examine whether changes in smoking status, amount of smoking, stop-smoking motivation, and reasons for smoking cessation failure after the passage of time since the cigarette price hike were statistically significant. The level of statistical significance was P < 0.05. Results: After the cigarette price hike, among the 420 smokers who were the target of the panel the rate of smoking cessation declined at the time-point of the survey to 15.5%, 12.4%, 8.5%, and 5.7% after one month, three months, six months, and 12 months, respectively. As a result of a follow-up observation of 65 smokers who stopped smoking immediately after the price hike, the actual non-smoking rate declined to 15.5%, 8.3%, 4.4%, and 3.1% after one month, three months, six months, and 12 months, respectively. One (1) year after the cigarette price hike, the non-smoking rate among the 420 smokers reached as low as 3.1% (13 persons). The most important reason for the failure of the attempts to quit smoking was stress for more than 60% of the smokers who attempted to stop. Conclusions: It seems that a powerful anti-smoking policy by the state targeting the nation's workers is necessary. For companies, mediation for workers' job stress can become a strategy for the success of non-smoking attempts. The government seems to require a practical policy to reduce the smoking rate by actively carrying out social, economic, and scientific research to come up with a reduction method for the cigarette hazard, an effective price hike policy, and other non-price policies.

This study reviews the scientific management theories and discusses those theories within the food service industry. By providing the principles and the practical implications of the theories on the food service industry, this study tries to identify their philosophies and usefulness to the industry so that the managers in the industry use them in their dylmanic operations. In the fastly changing modern globalized world, we now face a situation where it's becoming more and more difficult to mange a restaurant business. In order to build a food industry business that can maintain a continuous development in today's business environment, one will have to apply the professional management theory in a cost-reduce strategy. It is more important though to have managers, organization members, in short, any person who can work to be motivated in accomplishing these two major issues-income increase and cost reduction. In this erawhere it's getting so difficult for researches on possible strategies for these business managers to overcome their difficulties. It is for certain that in the upcoming second millenium the travel and tourism industry will be one of the world's biggest industry worldwide. Korea's hotel industry has developed since the 1988 Seoul Olympic Games and has shown great amount of competition within the same business. Thus managers have become acquainted with the "know-how" strategy and the practical and scientific managemnet theories were introduced. This helped not only to increase income but also to maximize profit. However, rather than concentration on the "Hard-ware" aspect "Soft-ware" related professional management strategies were developed along with professionalism and human service were emphazied. As such, the actual cost of food and beverages are for the hotel industry business managers the biggest shortterm expense item. Due to the natural state of food items, there is a great chance of "Loss" in preservance, and this is the reason it is complicated to effectively maintain food. As a consequence, very often, the failure to managea hotel or restaurant depends on the capability of the food and beverage preservance mangement: on how they are able to manage effectively the original price of food and beverage. Finally, the main problem of the original price management of food and beverage in Korean hotels are: a) No fixation of set price b) The difficulty to calculate the price difference between a set price and an original price. c) Lack of professinalism in managing the food and beverage original price. d) Lack of perception of the highest ranking management personnels. So as to reform these matters it is necessary to : a) Reform on the management accounting system b) Emphasize to the people in charge on the idea of original price management c) Reinforce original price mangement prevention and assurance of indepedent inspection rights d) Reat manpower

Background: Some 60 years after introduction of the Papanicolaou smear worldwide, cervical cancer remains a burden in developing countries where >85% of world new cases and deaths occur, suggesting a failure to establish comprehensive cervical-cancer control programs. Effective interventions are available to control cervical cancer but are not all affordable in low-income settings. Disease awareness saves lives by risk-reduction as witnessed in reducing mortality of HIV/AIDS and smoking-related cancers. Subjects and Methods: We initiated a community-based awareness program on cervical cancer in two low-income Muslim Uyghur townships in Kashi (Kashgar) Prefecture, Xinjiang, China in 2008. The education involved more than 5,000 women from two rural townships and awareness was then evaluated in 2010 and 2011, respectively, using a questionnaire with 10 basic knowledge questions on cervical cancer. Demographic information was also collected and included in an EpiData database. A 10-point scoring system was used to score the awareness. Results: The effectiveness and feasibility of the program were evaluated among 4,475 women aged 19-70 years, of whom >92% lived on/below US$1.00/day. Women without prior education showed a poor average awareness rate of 6.4% (164/2,559). A onetime education intervention, however, sharply raised the awareness rate by 4-fold to 25.5% (493/1,916). Importantly, low income and illiteracy were two reliable factors affecting awareness before or after education intervention. Conclusions: Education intervention can significantly raise the awareness of cervical cancer in low-income women. Economic development and compulsory education are two important solutions in raising general disease awareness. We propose that implementing community-based awareness programs against cervical cancer is realistic, locally affordable and sustainable in low-income countries, which may save many lives over time and, importantly, will facilitate the integration of comprehensive programs when feasible. In this context, adopting this strategy may provide one good example of how to achieve "good health at low cost".

배경: 흉벽을 침범한 pT3N0 비소세포폐암 환자에서 수술 후 방사선치료를 추가하는 것이 필요한지의 여부와 적절한 방사선치료의 조사영역에 관해서는 아직 정립된 이론이 없다. 본 연구에서는 흉벽침범 pT3N0 비소세포폐암 환자들에서 수술 단독치료 환자들과 수술 후 흉벽부위에 대한 방사선치료를 추가한 환자들에 대한 후향적 분석을 수행하였다. 대상 및 방법: 1994년 8월부터 2002년 6월까지 성균관의대 삼성서울병원에서 흉벽침범 pT3N0 비소세포폐암으로 확인된 환자는 모두 38명이었다. 이중 수술 단독으로 치료한 환자가 16명이었고 수술 후 방사선치료를 추가한 환자는 22명이었다. 수술 단독 치료 환자들 중 4명은 방사선치료의 추가를 권유하였으나 환자의 거부(3명),수술 상처의 지연 치유(1명)등으로 방사선치료를 시행하지 못하였다. 방사선치료는 원발종양에 의해 침범된 흉벽과 그 주변 조직에만 국한하여 최소 54 Gy를 조사하도록 하였다 (1회선량 1.8～2.0 Gy, 주 5회 치료). 환자들의 예후인자, 생존율과 재발양상을 후향적으로 분석, 비교하였다. 결과: 환자의 특성을 비교했을 때 수술 단독 치료 환자들이 나이, 종양의 크기, 흉벽의 침범정도, 수술 합병증 등에서 방사선치료를 추가한 환자들에 비해 불량한 예후 인자가 많은 경향을 보였다. 전체 환자의 5년 생존율, 무병 생존율, 국소종양 억제율, 무원격전이 생존율은 각각 35.3%, 30.3%, 80.9%, 36.3%였다. 연령이 65세 이하일 때, 종양의 크기가 6 cm미만일 때, 병리소견 상 종양이 벽측 흉막까지만 침범한 경우에 그렇지 않은 경우들에 비해서 더 높은 생존율을 보였으나, 통계적으로 의미 있는 차이는 아니었다. 단지 수술 후 방사선치료의 추가는 통계적으로 의미 있는 생존율 향상과 관련된 인자였는데, 이것은 다변량 분석에서도 역시 의미 있게 나타났다. 수술 후 방사선치료를 추가한 환자들과 수술 단독만을 시행한 환자들의 생존율을 비교해 보았을 때, 중앙 생존율이 각각 26개월과 15개월이었고, 5년 전체 생존율은 각각 43.3%와 25.0% (p=0.03), 무병 생존율은 36.9%와 18.8%, 국소종양 억제율은 84.9%와 79.4%, 무원격전이 생존율은 43.1%와 21.9% (p: NS)이었다. 수술 단독 치료 환자들 중 재발 없이 다른 질병으로 사망한 환자가 3명 있었다. 실패양상의 분석에서 원격전이가 있었던 환자가 방사선치료를 추가한 환자들에서 10명, 수술 단독 치료 환자들에서 10명이었고, 국소재발이 있었던 환자는 각각 2명, 3명, 영역재발이 있었던 환자는 각각 1명씩이었다. 방사선치료와 관련되는 급성 및 만성 부작용은 드물었으며 모두 RTOG 2등급 이하였다. 결론: 흉벽침범 pT3 비소세포페암의 치료성공에 있어 가장 중요한 요소는 완전절제를 통한 국소 제어인 바, 수술소견 상 충분한 여유 절제연의 확보가 불가능한 경우 수술 후 방사선치료를 추가하여 국소 제어율을 높이도록 도모하는 것은 충분한 당위성을 갖는다. 또 방사선치료 조사영역의 결정에 있어서도 선택적 림프절 방사선조사를 배제함으로써 영역림프절 재발의 과도한 위험 부담 없이도 급성 및 만성 부작용의 위험을 현저히 감소시켜 환자의 삶의 질을 향상시킬 수 있었다.
