  • Background: While many researchers often use a theoretical framework for mammogram repeat interventions, it seems they do not apply an identified mediation analysis method. The aim of this study was to determine the mediators of mammogram replication behavior in two tailored interventions for non-adherent Iranian women. Materials and Methods: A sample population of 184 women over 50 years old in Sanandaj, Iran, was selected for an experiment. Participants were randomly allocated into one of the three conditions: 1) an intervention based on the Health Belief Model (HBM) 2) an intervention based on an integration of the HBM and selected constructs from the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB), and 3) a control group. Constructs were measured before the intervention, and after a 6-month follow-up. Results: Perceived self-efficacy, behavioral control, and subjective norms were recognized as mediators in the HBM and selected constructs from the TPB intervention. Perceived susceptibility, severity, barriers, self-efficacy and behavioral control met the criteria for mediation in the HBM intervention. Conclusions: This study was successful in establishing mediation in a sample of women. Our findings enrich the literature on mammography repeat, indicating key intervention factors, and relegating redundant ones in the Iranian populations. The use of strategies to increase mammography repeat, such HBM and TPB constructs is suggested to be important for maintaining a screening behavior, once the behavior has been adopted.

  • 수자원 부족과 개발비의 앙등은 관리상의 문제를 제가하고 있다. 일반 관리가 그러하듯이 물의 관리도 목적하는 바의 계량화 작업이 따르게 되고 수학적이 모형의 복잡성 때문에 컴퓨터를 사용하게 된다. 그 모형이 비선형 함수관계를 갖고 있으며 복잡한 제약조건이 부가될때 컴퓨터를 사용하기 위해 선행되어야할 작업은 통일된 알고리즘을 정하는 일이다. 위와 같이 문제의 해결에 이용되어온 기존의 동적계획법은 두 가지의 제한점을 가지고 있다. 즉, 변수를 이산화 해야하며 제약조건의 처리가 불가능 하다는 점이다. 현재까지 애용되고 있는 미분동적계획법에 의해 개발된 방법들 조차도 제약조건의 처리가 미흡하다. 본 논문에서는 위와 같은 어려움을 극복하고 저수지군의 다목적 다단계 제어에 응용할 수 있는 새로운 동적최적화 모형을 제안하였으며 본 논문에서 제안한 방법이 다른 대안들에 비해서 우월함을 입증하였다(즉, 기존의 문제를 본 방법에 의해 수치실험한 결과 기존 동적최적화 기법의 제약이 해소되었고 더 좋은 목적함수 값을 얻었다).

  • Background: The incidence of breast cancer is rising in Oman, and the disease is diagnosed at late stages, when treatment success is limited. Omani women might benefit from better awareness, so that breast cancer can be detected early and treated. This study was conducted to assess Omani women's levels of breast cancer awareness and early detection practice, and explore factors which might influence these levels. Materials and Methods: A mixed methods study was conducted in 2014, including a quantitative survey of 1,372 and a qualitative assessment of 19 Omani women, aged ${\geq}20years$ from five Omani governorates using convenient sampling. Demographic information and scores for awareness levels were used in a multivariate regression model to investigate factors associated with awareness. Thematic analysis and interpretive description were used to analyse the qualitative data. Results: The overall means for early detection and general awareness scores were 0.58 (SD 0.24) and 0.46 (SD 0.21), respectively. General awareness was significantly associated with age, education, income and familiarity with cancer patients (p<0.05), while early detection was significantly associated with age, marital status and education. A majority of women (59.5%) agreed with a belief in 'evil eye' or envy as a risk factor for breast cancer. Women discussed various factors which may empower or inhibit awareness, including the cultural-religion-fatalistic system, personal-familial-environmental system, and healthcare-political-social system. Conclusions: The overall low scores for awareness and early detection, and the survey of local beliefs highlight a severe necessity for a contextually-tailored breast cancer awareness intervention programme in Oman.

  • Purpose: Adolescence is a critical period for growth and development; hence, knowledge about good food habits is essential amongst children. This study was conducted to investigate prevalence of awareness among food sellers, which could probably influence children's health and perceptions on food around schools towards adulterated food management beliefs, competencies, and food safety practices. Methods: Data was collected from 195 dealers around 25 elementary, middle and high schools in Daegu and Gyeongbuk provinces using a self-administered questionnaire in July and August, 2015. The data was analyzed using frequency analysis, one-way analysis of variance, $x^2$-test, factor analysis, and reliability analysis by SPSS Statistics (ver. 23.0). Results: A total of 121 people (62.1%) reported satisfaction of providing information and education on adulterated food. The perception of hazardous substances was found to be related to food poisoning bacteria and viruses (65.6%), heavy metals (42.1%), environmental hormones (36.4%), residual pesticides (27.2%), and irradiated food (26.7%). The perceived score on hygiene practices for processed food seller was $4.04{\pm}0.56/5.00$ and for cooked food seller was $4.09{\pm}0.45$. The capacity of adulterated food management practice of food sellers was significantly correlated with food knowledge on adulteration and public relation capacity, necessity of adulterated food management, and perception of hygiene practices (p<0.01). Similarly, knowledge and public relation capacity were significantly different according to ages (p<0.01). The perception of the necessity of adulterated food management was significantly different according to education levels (p<0.05), and the evaluation of hygiene practices was significantly different according to age (p<0.01). Conclusion: In order to solve the problem of adulterated food, which is one of the four social evils, and to strengthen the capacity of children to solve social problems, various practices like campaign on health promotion, goof food habits, education, and adulterated food management, should be actively promoted not only for children but also for food sellers around the schools.

  • Koreans have emphasized education as the primary means to reconstruct our country means to reconstruct our country after two catastrophic events-the Japanese occupation and the Korean War(1950-1953). A Strong belief- in education coupled with sheer deter-mination spurred the period of industrial and eeonomic development that started in the early 1970-'s. The "can-do" attitude of the general public was matched and aided by small S & T communities. Scientists and engineers provided the neeessary expertise to manufacture goods and process the many raw materials imported from overseas. After nearly three decades of reconst-ructing our completely devastated country, Korea has become a modern, cosmo-politan, fast-paced and dynamic country. In order to further increaser our manufac- turing capabilities and double the per-capita income by the beginning of the 21st century, we must improve productivitiy and encourage creatitivity in all sectors of our country. The S & T community's efforts in research and development. education, and interna-tional cooperation will be invaluable in determining our direction and reaching these goals. The general public is eager to peacefully unite our foreign powers since 1945. Toward that end. members of the S & T community are willing to coope-rate with our north Korean counterparts in all areas of S & T with the exception of defense related endeavors. Establi-shing scientific ties with north Korea will result in mutual economic benefit and greater regional stability in East Asia. In particular. scientists and manu-facturers in each province are eager to initiate cordial and professional relation-ships with north Korea in the hopes of securing these benefits. The Korean Federation of Science and Technology Societies(KOFST) has played an important role both in developing S & T policies, and in gostering the frowty of S & T societies. A non-governmental umbrella organization composed of over 251 professional societies, KOFST facili-tates the transfer of research outcomes and technology from research institutions to the various industries. KOFST also seeks to increase cooperation between the countries of the Pacific Rim. As evidence of that, we have pursued joint research and industrial ventures with China. Established projects include those on environmental conditions in the Yellow Sea, and improvement of aircraft manufacturing, telecommunica-tion equipment, and agricultural produ-cts. Increased cooperation between the Pacific Rim countries, particularly in S & T, would foster social and economic development for the region as a whole.

  • 본 연구는 미세먼지 예방행동의도에 영향을 미치는 결정요인을 탐색하는 것을 목적으로 했다. 280명의 대학생들을 대상으로 한 설문조사 결과, 미세먼지에 대한 지각된 민감성과 지각된 장애는 예방행동의도에 통계적으로 유의한 영향을 미치지 못하였다. 그러나 미세먼지에 대한 지각된 심각성과 지각된 이익, 주관적 규범과 자기효능감은 예방행동의도에 통계적으로 유의한 긍정적 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구 결과를 통해 대학생들의 미세먼지 예방행동의도를 높이기 위해서는 지각된 심각성과 지각된 이익, 주관적 규범과 자기효능감을 높일 수 있는 커뮤니케이션 전략이 요구되며, 향후 미세먼지와 같은 환경위험에 대한 예방행동을 설명하는데 있어 일정 부분 기여할 것으로 판단된다.

  • Background: Bamboo forests provides benefits for nature and the welfare of the people of Turen in Malang Regency and Sumbermujur in Lumajang Regency. They interact with the forest to live through the development of forest potential based on local wisdom. This is believed to prevent various adverse impacts on the forest. Local wisdom is related to beliefs or/and taboos, ethics and rules, techniques and technology, as well as forest/ land management traditions carried out by the community in building, managing forests, and Turen springs in Malang Regency and Sumbermujur in Lumajang Regency. Therefore, it is important to study the potential of bamboo forests in Turen and Sumbermujur for ecotourism, the development of bamboo forest ecotourism in Turen and Sumbermujur based on local wisdom, and the potential of bamboo forests in Turen and Sumbermujur in sustainable spring conservation. Results: Bamboo forest ecotourism has become an attractive tourist attraction. It is also beneficial for environmental conservation and the welfare of the surrounding community. The potential of bamboo forests in ecotourism development consists of various types of old bamboo that are fertile which offer environmentally friendly tourism activities by prioritizing aspects of nature conservation and socio-cultural empowerment of the local community. This cannot be separated from the belief that bamboo has supernatural powers (as a protector), so they do not dare to take or damage the existing bamboo. This behavior has a positive impact on springs that are still sustainable. Conclusions: Therefore, the charm of the bamboo forest is a potential that can be developed through ecotourism based on local wisdom. The development of bamboo forest ecotourism based on local wisdom is able to meet the living needs of the surrounding community.

  • 디셉션 섬에서 다수의 산성 심성암류 암편들을 발견하였다. 이 중 두 표품에 대한 K-Ar 연대측정 결과 $62.5{\pm}1.2\;Ma$$140.7{\pm}2.7\;Ma$의 결과를 구하였다. 이러한 결과는 수면 위에 돌출된 디셉션 섬의 대부분을 이루는 화산암들이 최근의 화산활동으로 생성되었으며 최대 20만년 이하의 연령을 갖는 것으로 알려져 있는 것과 배치된다. 한편 디셉션 섬의 북쪽과 남쪽에 위치한 남쉐틀랜드 제도와 남극반도에서는 중생대신생대 기간 동안에 섭입작용과 관련된 활발한 화성활동이 보고되었으며 다양한 종류의 화강암질 심성암들이 넓게 분포하고 있다. 따라서 디셉션 섬의 화강암질 심성암 암편들은 디셉션 섬에서 최근 활동한 화산작용시 마그마의 분화에 의해 생성된 것이 아니라, 그 이전에 만들어져서 현재 노출된 화산체의 하부 놓여있는 화강암질 지각물질이 화산활동시 포획되어 지표로 분출하게 된 것으로 해석된다. 연령과 암종으로 보아 이 심정암들은 인접한 남쉐틀랜드 제도 및 남극반도와 마찬가지로 화산호환경에서 생성되었을 가능성이 크다고 생각된다.

  • 본 연구의 목적은 초기 환경보전주의자이자 자연주의적 조경양식을 개척하였던 미국 조경가 젠스 젠슨의 생애와 철학, 작품분석을 통해 그의 디자인 철학과 표현양상을 분석하고 오늘날의 조경사적 의의를 알아보는 것이다. 시카고 녹지체계 및 콜럼버스, 험볼트, 가필드, 더글러스 공원 등 주요 작품들을 분석한 결과, 미국 중서부 지역고유의 자연환경에서 영감을 받아 곡선과 원형 등의 자유로운 형태를 사용하였으며, 재료면에서는 자생종의 식재, 지역재료의 사용이 특징적이었다. 또한, 시간의 흐름과 경관의 변화, 변하는 계절과 빛에 집중하여 감성적인 표현양상을 보였다. 젠슨의 조경사적 의의를 정리하면, 첫째, 프레어리 스타일의 조경가로서 지역주의 및 자연주의 조경양식을 확립하고 이러한 정신을 확산하는데 중요한 역할을 하였다. 둘째, 초기 보존주의자로서 지역고유 경관의 보존과 이에 대한 교육을 조경의 중요한 가치라고 생각했다. 셋째, 사회개혁가로서 민주적 가치를 중요하게 생각하여 도시민들을 위한 공원체계 확립, 도시민과 아이들의 일상적 자연과의 접촉, 체험, 교육을 위한 공간 조성을 강조하였다. 젠슨의 자연주의적 조경양식과 실천적 보존주의적 디자인 철학과 비전은 오늘날 조경분야의 핵심과 본질을 확인하고 미래발전 방향에 대한 시사점을 준다고 할 수 있다.
