This paper looks at the integration of regions and nations through the prism of the merger of populations (societies). The paper employs a particular index of social stress. Stylized examples of the merging of two populations suggest that with integration, the social stress index will increase. The examples form the basis for the development of new formulas for calculating the social stress of an integrated population as a function of the levels of social stress of the constituent populations when apart. The formulas reveal that the social stress of an integrated population is higher than the sum of the levels of social stress of the constituent populations when apart. This raises the distinct possibility that the merging of populations may be a social liability: integration may fail to give the populace a sense of improved wellbeing.

초등교사의 전문성과 관련하여, 교실담임으로서의 전문성과 교과전문가로서의 전문성 간의 논쟁이 부각되고 있다. 그러나 지금까지 초등교사의 전문성 논의는 주로 이론적, 교원 정책적, 교원양성 체제적 측면에서 이루어져 온 경향이 있었으며, 교사양성 프로그램에 초점을 둔 경우는 많지 않다. 더욱이 일부 교사양성 프로그램에 초점을 둔 경우도, 북미와 유럽 선진국에 관한 연구는 일부 있으나, 중국을 비롯한 동아시아국들의 사례를 검토하고 비교한 연구는 드물다. 본 연구의 목적은 한국과 중국의 초등교사양성 프로그램을 비교연구하는 데 있다. 이를 위해 이 연구에서는 한국과 중국에서 각각 13개씩 총 26개의 초등교사양성 기관의 프로그램을 교육목표의 성격, 교육과정의 구성, 교육과정 이수 요건, 개설교과목의 유형 및 성격 측면에서 분석하고 비교했다. 연구 결과를 바탕으로, 우리나라 초등교사양성 프로그램 개선에 줄 수 있는 시사점이 논의되었다.

2011년부터 온실가스 에너지 목표관리제와 같은 국가적 온실가스 감축 규제가 대학에도 적용되기 시작하면서 2000년대 급속한 증가를 보이는 것으로 알려졌던 대학의 온실가스 배출량은 2011년 이후 안정세 및 하락세를 보여 오고 있다. 따라서, 온실가스 배출 규제의 시행을 계기로 대학사회가 온실가스 에너지에 대한 관리를 강화하고 있고 그 효과가 나타나고 있다고 이야기할 수 있게 되었다. 특히, 보다 강력한 제도적 속성을 지닌 배출권거래제 시행 준비 시기에는 총량이 줄어드는 결과를 보이는 등 온실가스 다배출 대학을 중심으로 감소하는 추세로 전환되었다고 평가할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 개별 대학의 온실가스 감축 활동을 세부적으로 추적하지는 않았지만 온실가스 배출에 영향을 끼치는 주요 활동도 자료를 분석하였고, 그 결과 대학의 온실가스 배출이 2011년 이전에는 연구수혜액, 그리고 2013년 이후에는 연면적의 변화가 영향을 주는 것을 확인하였다. 이에, 향후 대학의 온실가스 감축 목표 설정 원단위는 연면적을 기준으로 하는 것이 바람직하다고 판단되며, 보다 체계적인 대학의 온실가스 감축을 지원하기 위한 면적 단위 온실가스 배출량의 기준 수립과 관련 정보 공유가 필요하다고 할 수 있다.

This study was examined the preferred temperature and salinity of soup in various demographic groups in order to establish the desirable serving renditions of soup for customers' satisfaction and health. Temperature and salinity were measured in August and November in order to determine the seasonal variation in preference using a digital salinity-temperature measuring device. Four demographic groups totaling 530 were from foodservice establishments in elementary schools(ES: male 68/female 59), middle-high schools(MHS: 62/69), universities(UNIV: 72/67) and companies(COM: 69/64) in Seoul. Various thin or thick soups which are typically served in foodservice establishments were served hot(below $90^{\circ}C$) and warm(below $40^{\circ}C$) in a 50mL portion: salty(1.2%) and less salty(0.4%) at $55{\pm}2^{\circ}C$. The preferred salinities and temperatures of the soups were found to be 0.74%, 0.82%, 0.64% and 0.67% and $49.65^{\circ}C$, $54.24^{\circ}C$, $57.56^{\circ}C$, $58.81^{\circ}C$ for the ES, MHS, UNIV and COM groups, respectively. The preferred temperatures of the soups were increased depending on the age, so the positive correlation was shown between temperature and age. However the preferred salinities of soups were not effected. There was no consistent tendency between men and women in temperature. For salinity, men preferred $0.04{\sim}0.12%$ higher than women in the ES, MHS and UNIV groups. There is no consistent tendency between thin and thick soup in temperature. All groups preferred higher salinity in the thick soup than in the thin soup. Most of the customers preferred a higher temperature and higher salinity in November than in August.

Turkey protects its entire population of 75 million people with all the MPOWER measures at the highest level. The aim of this study is to make a comparison of smoking and addiction data obtained from Sakarya University students in 2005-6 and 2012-13. A total of 4,200 (2,500 and 1,700 for each academic year) students at Sakarya University in Sakarya, Turkey, were randomly selected for sampling purposes. The selected participants represented Sakarya University students. Data were collected using a pretested anonymous and confidential, self-completed questionnaire which took 15-20 minutes to complete and Fagerstrom Test for nicotine dependence. Chi-squared, Spearman correlation, and binary logistic regression tests were used to define associations, if any. The level of significance was kept at alpha=0.05. Smoking prevalance dropped by 8.5% (from 26.9% to 18.5%). Male gender, older age, high family smoking index, low self-rated school success, and high peer smoker proportion were common variables that have correlation with smoking status. In the binary logistic regression test the highest contributor to "being a smoker" was found to be the rate of peer smokers. Having all friends smoking puts the student a a 47.5 and 58.0 times higher risk for smoking for males and females, respectively. Our results suggest an admirable diminution of smoking prevalance among Sakarya University students, which can be attributed to MPOWER protection.

Background: Despite the established role of the Pap smear test (PST) in prevention and early detection of cervical cancer, it is still rarely practiced in Sudan. Many challenges hinder the establishment of an effective cervical cancer screening program, including socio-cultural factors. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the knowledge, attitudes and practices (KAP) of Sudanese women with regard to the Pap smear test and cervical cancer. Materials and Methods: A total of 500 married women aged 14 to 58 years were recruited from obstetric clinics, hospitals and universities in Khartoum in 2014. Data were collected using a standardized, pretested questionnaire that inquired socio-demographic characteristics and their KAP about cervical cancer and the PST. Results: More than 52% of participating women were above 30 years of age, and the majority (78.8%) were university degree holders. A total of 486 (97.2 %) of participants were resident in urban areas of Khartoum State. However about 48% of the respondents had never heard about PST, and only 15.8% of the participants had undergone a Pap smear test previously; 46.6% (233/500) knew that the human papilloma virus (HPV) was the causative agent, but only 39.2% (196/500) had heard about HPV vaccination, and only 11.4% (57/500) had received the vaccine. However 68% of the respondents agreed to do Pap smear if properly informed about the test and 75.4% of the respondents agreed to participate in a cervical cancer screening program. Conclusions: Despite a high educational level, less than half of our participants had accurate knowledge about cervical cancer, HPV, and cervical cancer screening. Health education about cervical cancer, HPV and sexually transmitted infections and the role of PST in cervical cancer prevention are crucial when designing interventions aimed at improving cervical cancer screening for Sudanese women.

이 연구는 국내 대학 리포지터리의 글로벌 가시성과 영향력을 파악하기 위하여 관련 사이트인 OpenDOAR, ROAR, RWR 등에서 데이터를 수집하여 분석하였다. 그리고 이 분석 결과를 기관 리포지터리의 위상을 공고히 하고 영향력 확산에 노력하는 비영어권 아시아 주요 국가와 비교함으로써 국내 대학 리포지터리의 경쟁력을 확인하였다. 연구 결과 세 사이트에 모두 등재되어 있는 국내 대학 리포지터리는 9개에 불과하였다. 이 가운데 RWR 세계 순위 500위 안에 든 대학은 한 곳일 정도로 국내 대학 리포지터리의 세계적인 위상은 매우 낮았다. 반면 아시아 주요국인 일본과 대만은 대학의 리포지터리 수가 각각 257개, 52개일 정도로 많아 국내 대학 리포지터리 현황과 대조적이었다. 그렇지만 이 연구는 국내 선도적인 대학 리포지터리가 최근 연구업적관리시스템과 연계하여 구성원의 샐프 아카이빙을 보다 적극적으로 수행하기 시작하였다는 점을 새롭게 확인하였다. 이는 향후 대학 리포지터리의 양적 성장을 기대할 수 있게 하는 단서라는 점에서 긍정적이었다.

Background: In Malaysia, breast cancer is the first cancer among females regardness of race. Aim: The purpose of this study was to identify the knowledge and BSE practice among undergraduate female students at four public universities in Klang Valley, Malaysia. Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted among 820 undergraduate female students using a self-administered questionnaire covering socio-demographic data, knowledge of breast cancer and BSE practice. Results: The mean age of the respondents was $21.7{\pm}1.2$ years. The majority of them were single (96.8%), Malay (91.9%) and 16.5% of respondents had a family history of breast cancer. This study showed low level of knowledge on breast cancer and breast self-examination among participants. Only 19.6% participants were performing BSE regularly. Knowledge of breast self-examination was significantly associated with BSE practice (p=0.00). Also, there were significant associations between performing BSE with age, marital status and being trained by a doctor for doing BSE (p<0.05). Conclusions: Our findings showed that the rate of BSE practice and knowledge of breast cancer is inadequate among young Malaysian females. A public health education program is essential to improve breast cancer prevention among this group.
