Inflammation is one mechanism through which cancer is initiated and progresses, and is implicated in the etiology of other conditions that affect cancer risk and prognosis, such as type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and visceral obesity. Emerging human evidence, primarily epidemiological, suggests that walnuts impact risk of these chronic diseases via inflammation. The published literature documents associations between walnut consumption and reduced risk of cancer, and mortality from cancer, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease, particularly within the context of the Mediterranean Diet. While encouraging, follow-up in human intervention trials is needed to better elucidate any potential cancer prevention effect of walnuts, per se. In humans, the far-reaching positive effects of a plant-based diet that includes walnuts may be the most critical message for the public. Indeed, appropriate translation of nutrition research is essential for facilitating healthful consumer dietary behavior. This paper will explore the translation and application of human evidence regarding connections with cancer and biomarkers of inflammation to the development of dietary guidance for the public and individualized dietary advice. Strategies for encouraging dietary patterns that may reduce cancer risk will be explored.

Current changes in the written language curriculum have lead to emphasis being placed on the process involved in writing rather than the product. Writing is being viewed as a means of exploration, with text being manipulated in revision until a clear message is conveyed. This study focuses on the use of the computer in written language, as a tool to facilitate learning, increase interaction and alter children's attitudes. Some children from a local primary school participated in a project which gave them access to a computer and guidance during the process of revision. Evaluation of this study showed a two-fold effect. Firstly the writing behaviors of the children developed with their increased involvement in the process. For example, the children began to read what they had written thereby independently evaluating the content. Secondly, arising from this, as a sense of control over their writing was gained the children's attitudes towards writing became more positive.

Vancomycin-resistant Enterococci (VRE) are a leading cause of a nosocomial infection. While seven glycopeptide resistance genotypes have been found in Enterococci, vanA and vanB are the most common resistance genotypes. Aims of this study were to detect antibiotic susceptibilities of 23 Enterococcus spp, which broke out in a university hospital by the disk diffusion test, to investigate specific genes of vanA and vanB by conventional and real-time PCR. PCR for vanA and vanB was performed on 23 Enterococci, all 23 were positive for vanA type. This study reports the validation of a simple and rapid VRE detection method that can be easily incorporated into the daily routine of a clinical laboratory. Early detection of VRE strains, including those with susceptibility to Vancomycin, is of paramount clinical importance, as it allows a rapid initiation of strict infection control practices as well as a therapeutic guidance for a confirmed infection. The real-time PCR method is a rapid technique to detect vanA in Enterococci. It is simple and reliable for the rapid characterization of VRE.

There are two main types of agricultural extension projects in Korea, the impacts and routes of each type on farm income are different. This paper empirically studies the impact of agricultural extension to farms' income, using Multi-level production function considering time lag. It is found that direct type of extension has positive effect to farms' income. Also indirect type on income is significant only when the level of education is high. Due to the characteristics of Korean agricultural structure, the technical level of farm is greatly influenced by the government's R&D investment and technology guidance. The result implies that indirect type of extension that take into account the educational level of farms should be emphasized for long-term technological advances.

The purpose of this study is to analyze farmers' perceptions of Greenhouse Gas Reduction Projects and identify factors influencing participation in the projects. To achieve the research objective, a survey was conducted and a probit model was adopted for the empirical analysis. The results showed that farmers do not participate in the projects due to a lack of education and promotion and due to economic loss. It also showed that the frequency of training and technical guidance learning, degree of recognition of the need for efforts to reduce greenhouse gases, and the level of recognition of the projects concerned have a positive impact on the willingness to participate in the projects. Meanwhile, participation in agricultural environment conservation programs has a negative impact on it. Enhancement of education and promotion as well as economic support (direct payment, R&D) would be useful to raise the willingness to participate in the projects.

The purpose of this study was to confirm the relationship between positive psychological capital, professor support, and the career preparation behavior of college students, and to identify the factors influencing the career preparation behavior. The convenience sampling method was used on 180 students from August 30 to October 30, 2020, Data was collected using a structured questionnaire and analyzed by frequency, percentage, mean, standard deviation, t-test, ANOVA, Scheff test, Pearson's Correlation Coefficients, and multiple regression. The research results showed that there were significant differences in positive psychological capital and professor support according to gender, majors, and economic levels. There were significant differences in career preparation behavior according to gender (t=3.52, p<.001), major (F=10.85, p<.001), and career decision (t=4.98, p<.001). There were significant differences in career preparation behavior according to gender, majors, and career decisions. Positive psychological capital (r=.45, p<.001) and professor support (r=.40, p<.001) showed a positive correlation with career preparation behavior. Factors influencing career preparation behavior were majors, career decisions, positive psychological capital, and the explanatory power of these factors was 32.5%. Therefore, effective career and counseling guidance should be planned to increase positive psychological capital according to the major. It is necessary to provide opportunities for exploration of various career options to enable students to select suitable careers or jobs and to set goals, and provide an environment with positive motivation.
