Purpose: We developed and tested the effects of a coping skill training program for caregivers in feeding difficulty among older adults with dementia in long-term care facilities. Methods: A non-equivalent control group pretest-posttest design was used. The subjects comprised 34 caregivers (experimental group: 17, control group: 17) and 40 older adults with dementia (experimental group: 20, control group: 20). The developed program was delivered in 4-hour sessions over 6 weeks (including 2 weeks of lectures and lab practice on feeding difficulty coping skills, and 4 weeks of field practice). Data were collected before, immediately after, and 4 weeks after the program (January 3 to April 6, 2016). The data were analyzed using t-test and repeated measures ANOVA using SPSS/WIN 20.0. Results: Compared to their counterparts in the control group, caregivers in the experimental group showed a significantly greater improvement in feeding knowledge and feeding behavior, while older adults with dementia showed greater improvements in feeding difficulty and Body Mass Index. Conclusion: The study findings indicate that this coping skill training program for caregivers in feeding difficulty is an effective intervention for older adults with dementia in long-term care facilities.

The great flowing of information has brought a necessity for good management to make the best use of it in the highly competitive information age. The aims of this study are to investigate the main information sources - divided into largely three groups : literature sources, communication and information technology facilities,), trying to find problem areas associated with IRM, indicating possible solutions. The result shows that internal information sources were regarded the most important and most frequently used. For the use of foreign materials, the higher the level of position is, the more people use them. With respect to communication methods, internal information sources were thought most important. With the dramatic falling of the price despite enormously increased functions, IT facilities are becoming important sources. However, the study reveals the use of them is quite limited to a few well-known facilities, witch indicates that management should pay attention to more efficient use of them and useful training and education methods.

물관리는 밀레니엄개발목표(Millennium Development Goals)의 달성과정에서 가장 강조되는 주제 중의 하나이다. 물관리의 최종목표는 물관리 그 자체가 아니라 자연적으로는 유한한 수자원의 지속가능성을 유지하고 사회적으로는 계층간의 형평성을 실현하는 것이다. 그러나 개발도상국들은 한정된 국가재정으로 기반시설의 투자가 부족하고 기후변화에 따른 자연재해의 빈발로 인하여 인간다운 삶의 질을 보장받기 어려운 상황에 직면하여 있다. 이러한 인식 아래, 미국, EU, 일본 등의 선진국은 물론 이웃 중국도 개발도상국을 대상으로 물 관련 사업의 공적개발원조(ODA) 프로그램을 활발하게 추진하고 있다. 최근 우리나라의 대 개도국 협력사업은 한국국제협력단(KOICA)이 수행하는 ODA 사업을 중심으로 큰 폭으로 늘어나고 있다. 우리나라의 물 분야 지원사업도 식수개발, 댐건설, 관개시설 개발, 수질오염처리, 재해방지 예 경보 시스템 및 홍수조절사업 등으로 다방면에 걸쳐 활발하게 진행되어 왔다. 그러나 우리나라의 물 분야 ODA 사업은 정책 및 제도에 대한 컨설팅이나 교육훈련 등 소프트웨어 기반의 원조개발협력은 상대적으로 미진하고 물리적 인프라 위주의 지원사업이 대부분을 차지하고 있다. 최근에는 전문가 파견 및 연수생 초청 등의 인적협력의 사례가 증가하고 있으나 아직까지는 사업내용의 대부분이 건물, 시설물 및 기자재 등의 구조적인 지원 형태로 이루어지고 있다. 이러한 형태는 일찍이 대개도국 물 분야 사업을 추진한 미국이나 일본 등의 선진국들이 원조협력사업의 일관성과 지속성을 평가하기 위하여 제도적이고 정책적인 지원을 확대하는 것과는 거리가 있다. 1992년 KOICA가 네팔 모디강 수력발전소 실시설계 지원으로 시작된 우리나라의 물 분야 사업도 이제 20년에 이르고 있다. 물 분야 지원사업도 새로운 방향전환이 필요한 시점이다. 본 연구에서는 우리나라의 물 분야 ODA 지원사업의 현황과 문제점을 파악하고 향후 나아가야 할 정책방향을 제시한다. 이를 위하여 먼저 아시아의 스리랑카와 아프리카의 에티오피아의 2개 국가를 사례지역으로 선정하고 물관리의 현황과 문제점을 파악한다. 그리고 사례지역에 대한 우리나라의 물 분야 ODA 지원사업의 현황과 당면과제를 분석한다. 마지막으로 선진국과 우리나라의 물분야 지원사업의 추진방향을 비교분석하여 우리나라 물 분야 ODA 지원사업이 지향할 방향성을 제시한다.

The COVID-19 pandemic has significantly changed the landscape of knowledge and information services that public libraries around the world have been providing since modern times. In particular, as social distancing has become routine, the contraction of cultural activities and the shift to online platforms have negatively impacted library visitation and use services, greatly reducing borrowing and reading, use of spaces and facilities, interlibrary loan services, program operations, and outreach services. Therefore, this study investigated and analyzed the current status of services provided by public libraries in Korea and abroad in response to COVID-19, and proposed practical ways to improve and expand services in response to COVID-19 based on the results of a survey of librarians' perceptions. Specifically, these include improving the online reservation system for reading and borrowing services and developing and providing various outreach services, acquiring and expanding electronic resources, expanding online program services (reading, culture, lifelong learning, etc.), strengthening library services for vulnerable populations, providing information portal services related to new infectious diseases, strengthening facilities and space provision services, preparing infectious disease response guidelines, and providing education and training to strengthen librarians' capabilities.

This study examined the status of the laboratory biosafety of researchers in Korea during 03 Jan 2017~25 Mar 2017. Questionnaires were given out to 500 researchers working with pathogens in the laboratory of universities and institutes. According to the results, the respondents showed a high level of awareness but not compliance on the overall biosafety rules and regulations. Regarding the Biosafety facility level, 279 (55.8%) of respondents answered "know" and 221 (44.2%) of respondents answered "no". Despite the insufficient safety equipment and biosafety plans, researchers believed that appropriate safety measures could protect the workers and that their laboratories are safe. In a study involving biosafety education, 80% of the researchers had been trained in laboratory safety and 20% had never received safety education. The need for biosafety education was 66% and the satisfaction rate of education was 46%. These results suggest that the researchers already had experience in biosafety training, but they believed that continuing education is necessary. In addition, there were opinions that the most important thing to improve the biosafety status is to strengthen the training program and education system. In conclusion, it is necessary to develop a better training system for laboratory biosafety regarding the exposure risks.
