This study attempted to uncover the characteristics of health information non-seekers among the United States foreign-born population and identify potential predictors of their non-seeking behavior. The trends of foreign-born health information nonseekers over the past twelve years were also examined. Statistical analysis was conducted with two sets of Health Information National Trends Survey (HINTS) data: HINTS 2 (2005) and HINTS 5 Cycle 1 (2017) datasets. It was found that foreign-born nonseekers differ from foreign-born seekers in terms of a variety of variables including education, income, English proficiency, the uses of Internet and social media, ownership of digital devices, ownership of health insurance, perceived health status, and level of trust in health information sources. Among them, education, Internet use, and trust in online health information were identified as predictors of the foreign-born population's non-seeking of health information. In addition, three variables - race/ethnicity, age, and place of accessing the Internet - which were significant factors in the 2005 dataset, were no longer significant in the 2017 dataset, implying the possible influence of smartphones that reduces Internet accessibility gaps among different racial/ethnic and age groups.

트리구조로 명명되는 '위계'는 정보의 구조를 드러내 보이고 복잡성을 감소시킬 수 있기 때문에 시각화하는데 매우 유용한 자원이다. 본 연구는 멀티미디어 환경에서 위계의 개념을 적용한 정보 시각화 방식에 대해 고찰하였고 나아가 그것이 정보 찾기 활동에서 사용자태스크 유형과 어떻게 연계되는지를 파악하고 그 활용 가능성을 탐색하였다. 본 연구에서는 트리맵(Treemap), 하이퍼볼릭(Hyperbolic), 콘트리(Cone Tree), 관심도트리(Degree-Of-Interest Tree)의 4가지 정보위계 표출방식을 적용 사례별로 고찰하고 그 활용상의 장단점을 '시각적 재현 측면'과 '사용자 조작 측면'으로 나누어 제안하였다. 또한 각각의 정보위계 표출방식에서 사용자 정보 찾기 활동과 결부된 '핵심 지원 태스크'와 '주요 관련 지원 태스크'가 무엇인지를 구체적으로 제안하였다. 본 연구를 통한 주요 발견 점은 첫째, 사용자의 정보 찾기 활동과 결부된 주요 지원 태스크는 전체를 총괄적으로 조망하기, 관심 있는 대상을 확대해서 보기, 관심 없는 대상을 걸러내기, 특정 대상에 대한 세부적인 디테일 정보 얻기, 정보 객체 사이의 관계 파악하기, 발생한 이벤트의 히스토리를 유지하기, 수집된 정보를 추출하고 발췌하기 등이다. 둘째, '트리맵'은 사용자에게 전체 정보 그룹에 대한 총체적 의미 파악이 용이하도록 만들기 위해서 각각의 정보 노드의 색상과 크기를 다르게 적용시키는 방식을 핵심지원 태스크로 적용하고 있다. '하이퍼볼릭'과 '관심도트리'는 사용자가 선택한 특정 정보 노드를 중심으로 전체 정보 그룹을 재편성시키거나 의미의 중요도에 따라 각각의 노드 크기에 비례 개념을 적용시키는 기능을 핵심적으로 지원하고 있다. '콘트리'는 정보에 접근한 사용자 로그파일을 발췌하고 분석하여 정보 관리자가 전체 정보 패턴을 분류하고 조직화시킬 수 있도록 하고 있다. 결론적으로 멀티미디어디자인 환경에서 정보위계 표출방식은 정보의 시각적 재현이라는 차원을 넘어 사용자의 정보 찾기 행위와 관련하여 사용자 조작의 다양한 기능적 욕구를 반영하고 있음을 본 연구를 통해 파악할 수 있었다.

Housekeeping genes are widely used as internal controls in a variety of study types, including real time RT-PCR, microarrays, Northern analysis and RNase protection assays. However, even commonly used housekeeping genes may vary in stability depending on the cell type or disease being studied. Thus, it is necessary to identify additional housekeeping-type genes that show sample-independent stability. Here, we used statistical analysis to examine a large human microarray database, seeking genes that were stably expressed in various tissues, disease states and cell lines. We further selected genes that were expressed at different levels, because reference and target genes should be present in similar copy numbers to achieve reliable quantitative results. Real time RT-PCR amplification of three newly identified reference genes, CGI-119, CTBP1 and GOLGAl, alongside three well-known housekeeping genes, B2M, GAPD, and TUBB, confirmed that the newly identified genes were more stably expressed in individual samples with similar ranges. These results collectively suggest that statistical analysis of microarray data can be used to identify new candidate housekeeping genes showing consistent expression across tissues and diseases. Our analysis identified three novel candidate housekeeping genes (CGI-119, GOLGA1, and CTBP1) that could prove useful for normalization across a variety of RNA-based techniques.

The purpose of this research was to investigate and analyse how Community Forest Initiatives as urban fringe management initiatives made alliances with a variety of interest groups, enrol them in the urban fringe management processes using the Actor Network Theory. The Thames Chase Community Forest Initiative was selected and its area of operation included a $97 km^2$ area of green-belt area in East London. It was a instrument far improving and protecting the unique characteristics of the countryside landscape from urban developments as well as evaluating the impact of forestry inclusion in land use planning in the urban fringe. It was operated through a tiered structure comprising the Thames Chase Joint Committee and the management team. They employed a variety of devices to speak with one voice to bring about an effective operation process and to secure the enrolment of a variety of interest groups in its operational processes. Of note, the initiative's actor network impacted on improvement to and management of the countryside landscape despite not owning any land itself. As a result, when urban fringe management initiatives will be launched in South Korea to achieve a more effective and efficient urban fringe management, local councillors and representatives from public and non-government bodies should be more responsive to local communities' views and needs and work more vigorously on their behalf through lobbying, seeking media support, and so on. Moreover, better understanding and communication between local authorities' officers and management initiatives' teams are essential to avoid duplication of work practice.

Fashion merchandiser profession is a highly information-intensive job. In fact, a merchandiser is to acquire a variety of information mainly from external environment and to analyze it in order to come to an informed decision. Despite a significant amount of past studies on environment scanning, their main concern was of managerial work. And, some fashion design studies have only touched the issue of information source in a descriptive tone. Here, we attempt to analyze empirically fashion merchandisers' environmental scanning activities. Our results can be stated as follows : 1) Though the quality of information source has a positive relationship with its use, the accessibility does not. 2) There is no significant difference between the use of relational source and the use of non-relational source. 3) Internet is being used more at the initial stage(opening) of information seeking than at the orientation and consolidation stage.

This paper tried to discuss response of local government facing governance era. Governance is intended to introduce a variety of residents' participating systems to revive the citizen's society and strengthen the foundation for that purpose, thus seeking the paradigm for decentralized operation of the nation. As widely accepted, governance has many meanings connected with controling method of interdependence activity. However bureaucracy do not make decisions as one-side and vertical like past but is form of public decisions that stakeholder in policy. Firstly, we reviewed the terms of governance and policy issues and policies on governance. And also survey on actual performer associated with governance in Gumi. Next, proposals of the development of policy in governance, role of local government are made in terms of construction of governance.
