Purpose: Radiographs is an integral part of patient management in dentistry, despite their detrimental effects. As the literature pertaining to radiation protection among Indian dental practitioners is sparse, exploring such protection is needed. Materials and Methods: All private dental practitioners in Mangalore, India were included in the study. A structured, pre-tested, self-administered questionnaire was employed to assess the knowledge, attitudes, practices, previous training, perceptions towards the need to spread awareness, and willingness to gain and implement knowledge about radiation hazards and protection. Information regarding each respondent's age, gender, education, and type and duration of practice was collected. Results: Overall, 87 out of 120 practitioners participated in the study. The mean knowledge, attitude, and practice scores were $9.54{\pm}2.54$, $59.39{\pm}7.01$, and $5.80{\pm}3.19$, respectively. Overall, 25.3% of the respondents had undergone training in radiation protection, 98.9% perceived a need to spread awareness, and 94.3% were willing to improve their knowledge. Previous training showed a significant correlation with age, sex, and duration of practice; attitude was significantly correlated with education and type of practice; and knowledge scores showed a significant correlation with type of practice. Conclusion: Although the knowledge and practices of respondents were poor, they had a positive attitude and were willing to improve their knowledge. Age, sex, and duration of practice were associated with previous training; education and type of practice with attitude scores; and type of practice with knowledge scores. The findings of this study suggest a policy is needed to ensure the adherence of dental practitioners to radiation protection guidelines.

이 연구는 저소득층이 디스트레스를 완화하기 위해 사회복지사를 비롯한 전문가로부터 도움을 추구하고자 결정하는 데 기여하는 개인 및 사회인지 요인들의 구조를 살펴보고 보다 적절한 모형을 선정하여 사회복지실천에 유용한 지식을 얻고자 하였다. 편의표집에 의한 저소득층 331명의 자료를 구조방정식모형으로 계획행동이론(TPB)을 응용한 기본모형과 확장된 모형 두 단계로 분석하였다. 우선 TPB 기본모형의 분석을 통해 사회인식을 반영하는 주관적 규범, 도움추구에 대한 긍정적 태도, 자신의 행동통제력 순서로 추구의도에 정적으로 기여하고 다시 의도는 추구결정에 정적인 기여를, 행동통제력은 추구결정에 부적 기여를 하는 것으로 나타났다. 다음 단계로, 디스트레스와 가족지지의 영향을 포함하고 합리적 행동계획인 의도(intention)와 함께 상황에 대한 반응으로서 자진 추구의사(willingness) 경로를 포함하여 확장한 모형을 탐색적으로 검토하였다. 확장모형의 경로분석에서 디스트레스와 가족 지지 각각은 도움추구에 대한 태도, 주관적 규범, 행동통제력에 상당한 수준으로 정적 영향을 주었다. 태도와 주관적 규범은 추구의도와 의사 각각에 유의한 정적 영향을, 행동통제력은 추구의사에 정적 영향을, 추구결정에는 부적 영향을, 그리고 의도는 추구결정에 정적인 직접효과를 보였다. 행동통제력이 추구의사를 통해 추구의도에 미치는 간접효과와 추구의사가 의도를 통해 추구결정에 미치는 간접효과가 유의하였다. 이러한 결과들은 TPB 모형이 저소득층의 전문가 도움추구와 관련되는 개인 및 사회인지 요인들의 관계구조 파악에 유용함을 시사하였고, 특히 주관적 규범의 영향력을 통해 사회인지의 중요성이 함의되었다. 나아가 저소득층의 특수성을 살릴 수 있는 확장모형의 필요성과 함께 행동통제력과 자진 추구의사가 시사하는 클라이언트의 자기의지의 중요성과 활용 등 사회복지실천을 위한 함의를 제시하였다.

The objective of this paper is to apply choice experiment methods to estimate non-market value of organic farming and its policy implication. A preliminary survey shows that the attributes of organic farming are reduce environmental pollution, bio-diversity improvements, cultural diversity improvements and maintain local community, reduce green-house gas emissions, energy saving, landscape improvements and tax for organic farming improvement policy. Questionnaire was eight different choice sets presented to each respondent. Implicit values of the attributive levels of organic farming have been calculated into tax money costs per house. This paper compared the six feasible scenarios in terms of willingness to pay per year. This study is expected to contribute to government's organic farming policies and quantitative information related to practice of organic farming.

Knowledge management system(KMS) was introduced into the company in order to apply knowledge management. But according to KMS is changed into information management system, the company is considered Community in Practice(CoP) instead of KMS. Because within CoP, individuals can interact with one another to solve problems, test new ideas, learn about new developments in their field and build a sense of affiliation with others in similar circumstances. In spite of it's importance there is few empirical study about CoP. So the purpose of this study is to examine which personal characteristics influence knowledge sharing and which context factors(including structural and relational characteristics) moderate relationship between individual characteristics and knowledge sharing within CoP through empirical study.

Lack of incident reporting culture has been pointed out as a potential risk factor across industries. Consequently, comprehensive understanding of the factors affecting the willingness to report (WTR) is necessary. However, our knowledge on the related studies are not enough to date and even most parts of the existing studies have focused on patient safety, which makes it difficult to universally apply the factors to all industries. Therefore, this study aimed to identify WTR factors in chemical plants and evaluate the influence degree of the factors. To do this, 45 candidate factors were summarized throughout the previous studies and surveying plant safety staff. A questionnaire survey was conducted for 614 all employees from 9 chemical plants which belong to one company, and finally 32 WTR factors were identified throughout 520 responses. Of these, 19 factors were consistent with the previous studies and 13 factors were newly identified. The most influential factor was 'Views on the necessity of incident reporting', and 'Reporting practice by outcome severity', 'Fear of vilification, conflicts, blame, or sanctions' were followed. This result not only suggests various WTR factors suitable for chemical plants, but also shows need to derive specific factors that are appropriate to each industry. An empirical study could be expected to increase incident reporting by using these factors and verify its effectiveness on injury rate.

BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES: The increased consumers' interests in health and food safety have increased the demand for organic foods. Many studies have been performed on consumers' purchase intentions for organic foods and their influencing factors, and various studies have shown that the prices of organic foods and the consumers' willingness to pay are important influencing factors. This study examined the payment value of organic foods and agrifood consumer competency index according to the food-related lifestyles in South Korean consumers. SUBJECTS/METHODS: A cross-sectional analysis was performed using the 2019 Consumer Behavior Survey for Food. A total of 6,176 participants aged 19 to 74 years (male: 2,783, female: 3,393) were included in the analysis. RESULTS: Three factors were extracted by factor analysis (rational consumption-seeking type, convenience-seeking type, and health, and safety-seeking type) to explain the consumers' food-related lifestyles. The results of cluster analysis suggested that consumers were classified into 3 food-related lifestyles as the 'exploratory consumers' (n = 2,485), 'safety-seeking consumers' (n = 1,544), and 'passive consumers' (n = 2,147). Exploratory consumers showed a significantly higher willingness to pay for imported organic foods (P < 0.05). Safety-seeking consumers had a significantly higher willingness to pay for domestic organic foods (P < 0.05). For the agrifood consumer competency index, exploratory consumers had the highest score, followed in order by safety-seeking consumers and passive consumers. CONCLUSIONS: These results provide basic data in understanding consumption tendency for organic foods and agrifoods based on food-related lifestyles of South Korean consumers.
