Three occupational safety and health (OSH) activities, one international and two national workshops, were documented as part of OSH activities conducted under the International Labor Organization/Korea Partnership Program in the year 2011-2012. This study aimed to provide information on what the three OSH activities were implemented and how they contributed to the improvement of OSH in Asian countries. The international workshop was useful for the participants to understand a variety of information on OSH as well as participatory action-oriented training (PAOT) approaches at the regional and global levels. The two national workshops were practical for participants to strengthen their knowledge and skills on the PAOT at the enterprise and national levels. The study shows that the three OSH activities contributed to the understanding of the participants on OSH and PAOT, and that the activities promoted the improvement of OSH across countries in Asia.

This case study analyses the process to redress consumer damages caused by advertising solution error of Samsung mall from July 30th, 2002. We could discover the typical characteristics of small damages for many people and propose efficient consumer redress system. It was very difficult for consumers to recognize and verify their damages. Damages were very diverse and had traits of electronic transactions. We also examined the evaluations of individual consumer and consumer organization, YMCA on the process and result of consumer redress. Class action should be introduced as soon as possible to overcome financial problem and gathering plaintiffs for lawsuit. Consumer organizations need more professional negotiation ability.

We show that the Liechti-Strenner's example for the closed nonorientable surface in [13] minimizes the dilatation within the class of pseudo-Anosov homeomorphisms with an orientable invariant foliation and all but the first coefficient of the characteristic polynomial of the action induced on the first cohomology nonpositive. We also show that the Liechti-Strenner's example of orientation-reversing homeomorphism for the closed orientable surface in [13] minimizes the dilatation within the class of pseudo-Anosov homeomorphisms with an orientable invariant foliation and all but the first coefficient of the characteristic polynomial p(x) of the action induced on the first cohomology nonpositive or all but the first coefficient of p(x)(x ± 1)², p(x)(x² ± 1), or p(x)(x² ± x + 1) nonpositive.

The study of home injury and injury prevention has been a neglected area of research and practice. This study has the following purposes: 1) to describe the pattern of home injuries; 2) to analyze the differences in injuries by social characteristics; and 3) to compare the impact of safety structure and action. The data were collected by person-to-person interviews with 450 residents living in Wonju area. The statistical methods used for the analysis were $\chi$2-test and multiple logistic regression. The results are as follows: 1) Whether or not a certain injury has occurred varies by household type. The elderly household reported more injuries than other types of household. 2) Using logistic regression method, we found that safety-related behavioral habit was statistically significant in predicting injury occurrence. However, residence type was not a statistically significant variable. This indicates that cognitive change strategy is more important than structural change strategy.

The agricultural industry is beset by continuing demands to decrease the use of pest control agents which employ toxic modes of action. Although there are real problems of pesticide resistance, and sometimes overuse or redistribution in the environment, much criticism results from a lack of appreciation of how small is the risk involved. Whatever the background reasons, research and development for pesticide alternatives, particularly within Integrated Pest Management systems, is clearly of high priority. Currently available approaches, including use of natural products and molecular biology, are often regarded with naive optimism and require critical appraisal. For the future, methods of pest control based on chemicals with non-toxic modes of action (e.g. pheromones) continue to offer promise but, for widespread use, will require their integration with biological agents and development by means of plant molecular biology.

Previous studies have demonstrated that oxidative stress involving generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) is responsible for the cytotoxic action of $TNF{\alpha}$. Protective effect of small heat shock proteins (small HSP) against diverse oxidative stress conditions has been suggeted. Although overexpression of small hsp was shown to provide an enhanced survival of $TNF{\alpha}$-sensitive cells when challenged with $TNF{\alpha}$, neither the nature of $TNF{\alpha}$-induced cytotoxicity nor the protective mechanism of small HSP has not been completely understood. In this study, we have attempted to determine whether $TNF{\alpha}$ induces oxidative DNA damage in $TNF{\alpha}$-sensitive L929 cells. We chose to measure the level of 8-hydroxy-2'-deoxyguanosine (8 ohdG), which has been increasingly recognized as one of the most sensitive markers of oxidative DNA damage. Our results clearly demonstrated that the level of 8 ohdG increased in L929 cells in a $TNF{\alpha}$ dose-dependent manner. Subsequently, we asked whether small HSP has a protective effect on $TNF{\alpha}$-induced oxidative DNA damage. To accomplish this goal, we have stably transfected L929 cells with mouse small hsp cDNA (hsp25) since these cells are devoid of endogenous small hsps. We found that $TNF{\alpha}$-induced 8 ohdG was decreased in cells overexpressing exogenous small hsp. We also found that the cell killing activity of $TNF{\alpha}$ was decreased in these cells as measured by clonogenic survival. Taken together, results from the current study show that cytotoxic mechanism of $TNF{\alpha}$ involves oxidative damage of DNA and that overexpression of the small hsp reduces this oxidative damage. We suggest that the reduction of oxidative DNA damage is one of the most important protective mechanisms of small HSP against $TNF{\alpha}$.

영재교육에 대한 관심과 대상의 증가로 영재교육 프로그램 개발에 관한 연구가 많이 진행되고 있지만 영재들의 다양한 흥미와 요구에 부합되고 인성측면을 강조할 수 있는 지구과학 영역의 교육활동 자료 개발은 부족한 실정이다. 이에 본 연구는 중학교 과학영재 학생들을 대상으로 지구과학 분야에 대한 능동적 소집단 협력학습 프로그램을 개발하고 개발된 프로그램이 과학영재들의 과학 창의적 문제해결력과 과학탐구능력 및 학습태도에 미치는 효과를 알아보았다. 그리고 능동적 소집단 협력학습 프로그램을 적용한 후 학생들의 수업프로그램에 대한 인식을 조사하였다. 본 연구의 결과 개발된 능동적 소집단 협력학습 프로그램은 영재들의 과학 창의적 문제해결력과 학습태도에 있어서 유의미한 증가를 보였다. 또한, 능동적 소집단 협력학습은 학생들의 수업에 대한 흥미도와 만족도 및 참여도를 높일 수 있고 정의적영역에도 많은 영향을 끼치는 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 결과는 교사 설명 위주의 수업이 아니라, 학생 중심의 다양한 활동적 수업이 진행되었고 긍정적 상호작용을 위한 급우들과의 토의 및 토론을 할 수 있었기 때문이다. 이는 능동적 소집단 협력학습을 통하여 다른 학생을 배려하고 서로 조화를 이루며 의견을 주고받을 수 있도록 소집단 구성원 사이의 상호작용을 촉진했기 때문으로 인식된다.

Small ruminants form an important economic and ecological niche in small farm systems and agriculture. Their current low level of contribution is dismal, and is not commensurate with the potential capacity for higher levels of production. The context for productivity enhancement and increased socio-economic contribution relates to large sizes of small ruminant populations; wide distribution across various agro-ecological zones and production systems; and diversity of breeds, where 66% of all goat and 57% of sheep breeds in Asia are found in China, India and Pakistan. The advantages and disadvantages of small ruminants over larger ruminants are enumerated with reference to adaptation and environment, small size, production systems and products and interactions with the environment. Discussion focuses especially on efficiency of meat production and niche markets for higher-priced goat meat, and inefficient marketing systems given an estimated 40-45% loss of income to farmers presently. Increasing the quantity of meat produced is related to live weight and the total number of animals at Slaughter, which in turn, depend on the total number of offsprings weaned and lifetime productivity. At the national level, priority attention is essential to build up numbers in concerted breeding programmes, selection for efficiency of reproduction and meat production, and improvements to make traditional markets and marketing systems to respond to the changing environmental and consumer preferences. Post-production systems are neglected and improvements are associated with collection, handling, marketing, slaughter facilities and consumer requirements. Potential opportunities to expand and benefit from integrating small ruminants into annual and perennial cropping systems remain largely unexplored. Important development imperatives include choice of species and better use of available breeds, appropriate production systems that match available feed resources, and linkages between production, products and by-products to markets. Affirmative action is necessary, backed by official policy support, institutional commitment and increased resource use, that can target poverty and directly benefit the poor, and shift subsistence production to a more market-oriented opportunity. These efforts together constitute the challenges for both the owners and producers of small ruminants in the immediate future, as also the will to accelerate increased productivity, improve their livelihoods and promote rural growth.

단순지지된 콘크리트 보 부재의 경우 전단 경간에서 내부 모멘트 팔길이가 변화하는 아치 현상이 발생하게 된다. 최근 이러한 점을 고려한 전단해석모델이 개발되었으나 집중 하중에 대해서만 적용할 수 있어 등분포 하중과 같은 보다 일반적인 하중에 대해서는 적용할 수 없는 실정이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 일반적인 분포하중에 대해 내부 모멘트 팔길이의 변화에 대한 기본 식을 유도하고, 특히 등분포하중이 작용할 경우 아치 작용에 의한 전단력의 비율을 산정하는데 있어 이용되는 전단변형적합 조건을 도출하였다. 제안된 해석 모델을 이용하여 기존 연구자가 수행했던 RC보를 해석하여 그 경향을 분석한 결과, 등분포하중을 받는 RC보의 경간에 따른 전단변형률의 변화를 어느 정도 잘 묘사하는 것으로 나타났다. 하지만, 전단변형률이 작게 예측되는 것으로 보아 아치 작용에 의한 전단력의 영향을 추가적으로 고려해야 할 것으로 사료된다.

This case study aims to explore how RDA PLA model affects the agri-SMEs' empowerment. As an agri-business management renovation program from main workshop it was conducted on March to December 2011 with agri-SMEs and extension officials nationwide by RDA. Especially, as a packaged action learning process in the model used participatory action research. This study collected data with participants observation, interviews, situational analysis and systematic review of discourse in qualitative method. For the validity and identifying empirical results, this study used statistic analysis as a mixed method. Further including various pedagogic methods and business coaching skills, this model was conducted from workshop in RDA, in turn, on-farm business coaching as follow-up, CoPs' activities, and local ATCs extension services by each actors. The dynamic process and effects of each process led some change for farmers' innovative knowledge, skills, attitude, practice and aspiration on their farm business. RDA PLA model development based on the previous practices and research, which provided a configurated picture in the holistic action learning process. In statistic research, this study focused on 279 farmers as respondents who had participated in the program. It shows that their income and benefits increased from their renovative practices on farm business. Following the sampling group, it was surveyed by four indicators - products, customer, quality and cost. The level of contribution of education on economic impact 15% is quoted from previous paper. Even in some limitations of public sector, RDA PLA model actively suggests the paradigm shift of agricultural HRD and development of alternative extension-service system.
