Background: Emergency workers such as firefighters are cataloged within the most demanding and injurious professions globally. Considering the health and safety implications in firefighting, a lot of research needs to be conducted to examine how firefighters' task characteristics and their work demand influence the development of work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WMSDs). This study therefore examines how the task characteristics of firefighters moderates the relationship between their work demand and the development of WMSDs. Methods: Convenient sampling was employed to select 320 firefighters in the Greater Accra region of Ghana. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, correlation, and regression. Results: The findings revealed that work demand and task characteristics have significant positive effects on WMSDs. Again, the task characteristics of firefighters moderates the relationship between their work demand and WMSDs. Conclusion: Since the study shows that task characteristics influences the relationship between work demand and WMSDs, it is vital for managers to constantly modify the nature of tasks performed by and work demand of emergency workers to minimize the development of WMSDs and other industrial health complications.

Education systems have made efforts to prepare students by providing technical and nontechnical courses. With video games, however, there is the potential to develop dedicated metaverses that can help teach soft skills even during casual pastimes. The research conducted will propose a set of design practices for metaverse and game development to promote soft skills. While there are many soft skills people can acquire, this paper will focus on certain aspects based on specific games and studies. There will be some information collected from the information to support the design model and arguments. This paper will provide developers with a starting point for imaginative game creation and impart users with soft skills to assist in their professions and social life.

Objectives: Mental health has been shown to be linked with certain underlying physiological mechanisms. The objective of this cross sectional study was to investigate the relationship between depressive symptoms and brachial artery reactivity (BAR) in an understudied population: police officers. Methods: Participants were 351 police officers who were clinically examined in the Buffalo Cardio-Metabolic Police Stress (BCOPS) study. BAR was performed using standard B-Mode ultrasound procedures. Depressive symptoms were measured using the Center for Epidemiological Studies Depression (CES-D) scale. Mean values of the difference between the baseline and maximum diameters of the brachial artery were determined across three categories of CES-D score using the analysis of variance and the analysis of covariance. p-values for linear trends were obtained from linear regression models. Results: The mean age (${\pm}$ standard deviation) of all officers was $40.9{\pm}7.2$ years. Women had a slightly higher mean CES-D score than men ($8.9{\pm}8.9$ vs. $7.4{\pm}6.4$) and a slightly higher percentage increase of BAR than men (6.90 vs. 5.26%). Smoking status significantly modified the associations between depressive symptoms and BAR. Among current smokers, mean absolute values of BAR significantly decreased as depressive symptoms increased after adjustment for age, gender, race/ethnicity, hypertension, and diabetes; the multivariate-adjusted p-values were 0.033 (absolute) and 0.040 (%). Associations between depressive symptoms and BAR were not statistically significant among former smokers or never smokers. Conclusion: Depressive symptoms were inversely associated with BAR among police officers who were current smokers and together may be considered a risk factor for cardiovascular disease among police officers. Further prospective research is warranted.

Nowadays, it is surely the quack which stands as one of the most controversial, problematic. the quack has been a consistent target of contested public protection strategies in the past few centuries in many countries. Recently, complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) is increasingly utilized and accepted by patients and providers throughout the health care system in the world, most accounts attribute this growing acceptability to the shortcomings of conventional medicine, the appeal of CAM's core beliefs, and the growing body of research indicating that CAM actually works. However, the governments of western countries have called for measures to ensure that the public are protected from incompetent and dangerous practitioners. Common to these controversies has been a suggestion to ban, exclude or limit the medical practice of those deemed to be damaging rather than improving the health of individuals as a measure of public protection. This article describes the experiences of western counties' health care system which is moving in a more pluralistic direction. By examining the ways in which regulatory efforts in the countries have come to address what is invariably described as a growing interest in CAM, this study show how the problem of CAM/quackery today is increasingly located in an ethical field of practitioner competency, qualifications, conduct, responsibility and personal professional development, regardless of the form of therapy in question. Many countries developed a series of measures and strategies to contain the acceptance of CAM groups, such as insisting on scientific evidence of safety and efficacy, resisting integration of CAM with conventional medicine and opposing government support for research and education. In a sense, those countries' movements serve to protect not only patients, but the dominant position of medicine and its allied professions, and to maintain existing jurisdictional boundaries within the healthcare system. The popular support for CAM will require that health professional stakeholders continue to address the challenges this poses, and at the same time protect their position at healthcare system. To cope with the quack, professional body, public sector and health authorities should consider the safety of consumers of healthcare and responding to the demands of the community for CAM therapies as well as the claims of the established healthcare professions. Finally, some implications for future health care were suggested.

시각장애를 극복하고 주어진 환경에서 찾을 수 있는 장점을 활용하여 학문적인 중요한 기여를 해온 수학자들의 사례에 대한 연구 결과가 최근에 소개되었다. 이 연구를 통해 한국에서 소아마비나 뇌성마비 등의 신체적 장애를 극복하고 수학자로 성장한 예는 확인할 수 있었으나 시각장애인이 수학을 전공하여 수학 교사나 교수 또는 수학과 관련된 전문직에 진출한 경우가 전무하다는 것을 확인할 수 있다. 따라서 연구자는 선진국과 달리 한국에서 시각장애인 학생들이 수학을 전공하여 전문직에 진출할 수 없었던 이유에 대하여 생각해 보고, 이런 상황을 극복하기 위하여 시각장애청소년들이 좀 더 직관적으로 수학에 접근할 수 있는 방안을 연구한다. 그리고 본 연구에서는 시각장애인 학생들이 수학을 만지고 느끼면서 수학에 대한 관심과 실제 학습 내용의 직관적 이해를 돕는 하나의 도구로 3D 프린팅을 활용한 촉각수학교재와 교사용지도서 개발(제작 보급)을 위한 모델을 제안 한다. 이는 시각장애청소년 특수교사 부모의 교재활용을 수학교육 측면에서 지원함으로써 시각장애청소년의 수학에 대한 학습력을 신장시키고, 수학에 대한 자신감을 향상시키며, 수학을 이미지화하여 상상하는 수학교육 환경을 도모 할 것으로 본다. 특히 수학적 재능을 갖는 시각장애청소년들이 앞으로 수학을 전공하여 수학 관련 전문직으로 진출하는 모델을 만드는데 도움이 될 것으로 여겨진다.

본 연구는 한국사회에서 사회복지사가 어떤 이미지로 자리매김을 하고 있는지를 실증적으로 파악하면서 향후 사회복지전문직이 나가야 할 방향을 모색하기 위해 진행되었다. 고등학생, 대학생, 일반인 1,156명을 대상으로 16개의 형용사 쌍으로 구성된 어의미분척도(semantic differential scale)를 활용하여, 사회복지사를 포함한 의사, 간호사, 상담심리사 및 목회상담가 등의 5개 원조전문직에 대한 일반인의 인식을 비교차원에서 조사하였다. 분석결과, 전반적으로 사회복지사는 5개 원조전문직 중 가장 긍정적으로 인식되고 있는 전문직으로 나타났다. 대응분석을 활용했을 때, 사회복지사의 대표적 이미지는 실제성과 편안함이라는 이미지와 가장 근접하는 것으로 나타났다. 그러나 기존에 논의되어 온 바와 같이, 사회복지사의 전문성은 상대적으로 낮게 인식되는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 전체 이미지를 놓고 분산분석을 한 결과에서는, 사회복지사와 다른 원조전문가들 중 상담심리사가 사회복지사와 변별성이 없는 것으로 나타났다. 마지막으로 사회복지사에 대한 이미지에만 초점을 두고 이에 영향을 미치는 요인을 MANOVA를 통해 분석했을 때, 성별만이 유의한 차이를 보이는 것으로 나타났다. 이와 같은 조사결과에 기초하여, 다양한 측면에서 긍정적인 이미지를 형성하는 성과를 거두어온 사회복지사가 앞으로 전문성 강화를 위하여 학문내적인 차원, 교육 차원, 실천현장 차원, 대사회적 홍보 및 연구 차원에서 다각적이고도 지속적인 노력을 기울이는 것이 필요함을 논의한다.

Various theoretical models have developed io both a family research area and family therapy field on he basis of several family theories and social theories in order to understand the family life and its function. These theoretical models have give rise to provide not only a framework for family therapy bt also opportunities for the development of family studies. Regardless of the devotion of these theoretical models to a family therapy however some family therapy professions have suggested the disvergence between these models and practice because the models tend to confuse therapists in their actual practices Other family therapists on the other hand have claimed the convergence between these models and practice. One of the reasons for the issues of convergence and disvergence in the family therapy study would be that various theoretical models have different sometimes contradicatable definitions and explanations for same concept. Therefore the purpose of this paper is to investigate the extent of similarities and differences among these theoretical models of practice in a way of examining family models to compare Olson's circumplex model to the Beavers systems model. Both models were based on the general systems theory. This paper consists of the explanation of Olson's circumplex model and Beavers systems model in general respectively. Then it will investigate similarities and differences between these two models in terms of the relationship between family functioning and family adaptability.

The objective of this study is to examine the effects of audit socialization and professional commitment on professional success of tax auditors in Thailand through individual learning as the moderator. The specific research questions are: (1) How audit socialization affects professional commitment, (2) How professional commitment influences professional success, and (3) How individual learning moderates the audit socialization-professional commitment relationships, the audit socialization-professional success relationships, and the professional commitment-professional success relationships. This study collected data from 249 tax auditors in Thailand by using questionnaire. To investigate the research relationships, both structural equation model and multiple regression analysis are implemented. Within the research results, audit socialization has a significant positive effect on professional commitment and professional success while professional commitment has an important positive influence on professional success. Similarly, individual learning positively moderates the professional commitment-professional success relationships. In summary, audit socialization is important for auditing professions and it is a key determinant of professional success. Thus, auditors need to pay attention to audit socialization through learning and understanding it and applying its concepts to audit works to increase auditors' professional success, continuous survival and long-term sustainability.
