This study aims to explore the benefits and extension's role with farmers' markets in USA. This study was conducted by literature review and case study. They help establish connections between consumers and food producers, provide an additional income source for farmers. and in general, serve as a tool for community development. First, from education to advocacy, from research to advising, extension educators have multiple roles to play in promoting the growth of farmers' markets. Second, it is essential that extension engage others who are interested in seeing the markets succeed and create opportunities for such groups to make the market unique in their given communities. Third, extension promotes farmers' markets through the creation and dissemination of how-to publications. These publications typically include tips about having a market establishing a prominent and easily accessible market location, and offering a sufficient product variety to ensure consumer satisfaction. Fourth, efforts by extension offices are already paying off for consumers, vendors, and communities. Involving those who will purchase as well as produce the foods sold at who will purchase as well as produce the foods sold at farmers' markets should diversify the audience extension educators reach. Fifth, extension educators can aid in this effort by encouraging farmers' market vendors to diversify their of offerings and to produce and sell value-added products. Sixth, many extension offices offer guides to the direct marketing venues in their counties, such as farmers' markets, pick your own operations, roadside stands, and community supported apiculture farms. Once such a guide is produced. extension educators can distribute it at workshops and inform local media about the guide so that they can publicize it. Seventh, extension educators should seek to involve those groups who can collaborators could include community economic development organizations, consumer groups, churches, food banks, land preservation organizations, school, farmers' organizations, and other community groups. Eighth, extension educators can also contribute to the improvement of existing markets by offering workshops for vendors in business management, advertizing, marketing, bookkeeping, personnel management, and food preservation. Ninth, farmer's market also provide an opportunity for extension to have face-to face communication with farmers. Tenth, if farmers' markets are well managed, these markets can provide economic, nutritive, educational, social and psychological benefits to venders and the community.

This study conducted research on the actual state of community-oriented services for elderly rural inhabitants and their desire related to them to develop a local community service network model suitable to the characteristics of rural longevity villages. The research was conducted on 906 elderly people over 65 living in 20 rural longevity villages through questionnaires assessing filming and economy, economic activity, health care, learning and leisure activities as well as asking their wants and needs relative to local community services. As a result, it was found rural elderly people showed a high desire for local community services such as health, transportation and economy activity. In addition, they were mainly cultivating farm products as their economic activity and showed a high demand in the future as well. Most were found to take a walk in the healthcare field and showed a high demand for health examinations, health education, health consulting, hot spring bathing and basking in the woods. Respecting learning, social and leisure activities, they were mostly found to watch TV and do house chores, and showed a high desire for village environment repair, traditional farm music, visiting and tourism. With the above results, it is expected that the desire of rural elderly for such services can be satisfied, and the development of a local community service network model suitable to the characteristic of a local community is recommended.

The involvement of arachidonic acid (AA) metabolizing enzyme, lipoxygenase (LOX), in the development of particular tumors in humans has gradually been acknowledged and LOX has emerged as a novel target to prevent or treat human cancers. In the mouse skin carcinogenesis model, which provides an excellent model to study multistage nature of human cancer development, many studies have shown that some of the LOXs are constitutively upregulated in their expression. Moreover, application of LOX inhibitors effectively reduced tumor burdens, which implicates the involvement of LOX in mouse skin tumor development as well. 8S-LOX is a recently cloned LOX, which is specifically expressed in mouse skin after 12-O-tetradecanoyl-phorbol-13-acetate (TPA) treatment but not in normal skin. Unlike other members of the LOX 'family' expressed in mouse skin, this TPA-induced expression of 8S-LOX is prominent only in the skin of the TPA tumor promotion-sensitive strains of mice (SENCAR, CD-1, and NMRI) but not in the promotion-resistant C57BL/6J mice. This is a very unique phenomenon among strains of mice. Constitutive upregulation of 8S-LOX was also found in early stage papillomas and the expression was gradually reduced as the tumors became malignant. Based on these observations, it has been thought that 8S-LOX is involved in TPA-induced tumor promotion as well as in tumor conversion from papillomas to carcinomas. In accordance with this hypothesis, several studies have suggested possible roles of 8S-hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid (HETE), an AA metabolite of 8S-LOX, in mouse skin tumor development. A clastogenic activity of 8S-HETE was demonstrated in primary keratinocytes and a close correlation between the levels of etheno-DNA adducts and 8S-HETE during skin carcinogenesis was also reported. On the other hand, it has been reported that 8S-LOX protein expression is restricted to a differentiated keratinocyte compartment Moreover, reported findings on the ability of 8S-HETE to cause keratinocyte differentiation appear to be contrary to the procarcinogenic features of the 8S-LOX expression, presenting a question as to the role of 8S-LOX during mouse skin carcinogenesis. In this review, molecular and biological features of 8S-LOX as well as current views on the functional role of 8S-LOX/8S-HETE during mouse skin carcinogenesis are presented.

It was well received that well grounded behavioral theories were important in the development of effective nutrition education programs, but there are only a few programs available for Korean women. The objective of this study was to develop nutrition education programs for childbearing-aged women in Korea. Based on the findings of the needs assessment for the program and theoretical backgrounds, we developed behaviorally oriented tailored nutrition education program including motivation (MT), modifying (MD) and maintenance (MA) stages. The key concepts of the stages were motivation promotion for MT, increasing behavioral capabilities for MD, and strengthening self-management and building favorable environmental condition for MA. The education program was intended to be need in individual nutrition counseling, but it could be well used for group education by developing materials using the relevant contents. The primary users of the program were nutrition educators, however it could be also used by clients as needed. The introductory chapter provided dietary assessment tools and nutrition education tips. MT chapter included subjects such as nutritional status screening, costs of inappropriate nutrition and weight management, benefits of eating right, and activities for motivation promotion. MD stage chapter dealt with topics of healthy weight, knowledges and skills for better eating habits and physical activity status, and activities related to setting tailored behavioral objectives. MA stage focused on facilitating self management skills and building helping relationships. Each stage underlined activities using various educational tools in order to promote active participation of the client (s). For better use of this program, it was recommended to conduct program validation study.

The regional development strategy of China is involved basically with national macro economical development policies. In general, the development process were The procedures of 'balancing development-unbalancing development- rebalancing development'. The first restructuring is a balancing development strategy represented as the three-district construction and the second restructuring is the unbalancing development strategy represented as the preferential development of the east area after reformation & development. The third regional development strategy making current progress is a new regional balancing development policy including the great development of the west district. The study grasped how much the regional balancing development policy contributed to bridge the gap among other areas with coefficient of variation to analyze changes of regional development related indexes among the areas before/after the regional balancing development policy which had been progressed after 1991 with harmonious development among areas as its goal was carried out. It was also analyzed that the Chinese government's goal of regional development policy was how well-suited to the Chinese reality through regression analysis, so far. However, the results obtained of the study were summarized in Table6, Table7 and Table8.

A continuous development of new products is the lifeblood for firms that hope to maintain competency in competitive environments. Ongoing success in these environments is dependent on whether the management can choose or can't chose the proper mix of new product development strategy, new product development process, and organizational structure. Rather than considering the interrelationship among these success factors, however, most previous studies of new products development have examined these issues individually. Moreover, because past research has been unidimensional in nature, there is a lack of knowledge about how new product development strategy, process, and structure could be linked up each other. Consequently, we have no complete perspective of the linkage among new product development strategy, process, structure, and performance. The purpose of this study is to examine the new product development strategy, process, and structure of firms, and explore the effect of each on performance as well as linkage among strategy, process, strategy and structure.
