Background: There is a scarcity of information about the proportion of the adult Saudi population that meet the recommended guidelines of physical activity (PA) to reduce cancer risk. Moreover, their awareness about the role of PA in cancer prevention is unclear. Objectives: This cross-sectional study aimed at estimating the proportion of adult Saudis meeting the PA guidelines, specifically those recommended by American Cancer Society (ACS) for cancer prevention, and to assess the public awareness about the role of PA in cancer prevention. Materials and Methods: Using a multistage sampling method, 2,127 adult Saudis of both genders were recruited from 6 urban and 4 rural primary health care centers in Al Hassa, Saudi Arabia. Participants were personally interviewed to gather information about their sociodemographic characteristics, searching activity about PA and cancer, and the time spent in leisure time PA (moderate and vigorous)/week using the Global Physical Activity Questionnaire with show cards. Finally, items about the role of PA in cancer risk reduction were inquired. Results: Of the included participants, 11.6% met the recommendations for cancer prevention (${\geq}45$ minutes of moderate-vigorous PA activity/${\geq}5$ days/week or 225 minutes/week). Multivariate regression showed that being male (AOR=1.49, CI=1.09-2.06), <20 years of age (AOR=3.11, CI=2.03-4.76), and unemployed (AOR=2.22, CI=1.57-3.18) were significant predictors for meeting PA recommendations for cancer prevention. Only 11.4% of the sample indicated correctly the frequency and duration of PA required for an average adult to be physically active and while >70% of them indicated the role of PA in prevention of hypertension, coronary heart disease and lowering elevated blood cholesterol, only 18.6% and 21.7% correctly mentioned the role of PA in reducing colon and breast cancer risk, respectively. Poor knowledge was found among those with less than college education and aged ${\geq}50$ years. The level of knowledge was significantly positively correlated with total leisure time PA of the participants. Conclusions: A minority of adult Saudis in Al Hassa was aware about the role of PA in cancer prevention and engaged in sufficient LTPA for cancer risk reduction benefits, highlighting the need for public health actions to include policies and programs that address factors deterring their participation in LTPA and increasing their awareness with remedies to manage the prevalent misconceptions.

This study was conducted to investigate the set up and running status of school gardening at elementary schools in Jeollabuk-do. Among 416 elementary schools in Jeollabuk-do, 164 schools (39.4%) had school gardens. Ninety-seven schools in cities and 67 in counties had school gardens. The total area and school garden size at schools in Jeollabuk-do were $45,490m^2$ and $277m^2$ per school, respectively, as well as $1.6m^2$ per students. School gardens varied in type, and percentages of outdoor and off-campus gardens were 67.2% and 17.2%, respectively. There were differences in the set up, type of garden, annual operating budget, and participants in school garden programs according to the location (city or county) of the school The installation and automation of facilities in the garden (such as greenhouse, tool shed, resource recycling facility, etc.) were poor. Most schools grew various kinds of plants, including vegetables, crops, ornamentals, and fruits. Teachers most often operated school gardens and taught students. Teachers had difficulty managing school gardens due to absence of knowledge about sustaining gardens. Most respondents reported the need for a school garden training program. Sixty-one percent of schools reported that the garden was used for academic instruction, especially during class. The majority of respondents agreed that school gardens have a positive effect and wanted to increase classes related to school gardens. Accordingly, in order to sustain school gardens and maximize their effects, systematic and customized support is needed that considers the characteristics and circumstances of the school. The facilities and features of the garden should be improved, and the school garden training program for teachers should attempt to reduce the effort required to manage the garden and increase utilization efficiency. In addition, participation of garden coordinators, parents, and community volunteers in managing gardens and implementing garden lessons is required.

학습코칭과 보상시스템의 융합적 운영이 대학생들의 학업적 자기효능감과 학습성과에 어떠한 영향을 미치는지 알아보고자 하였다. 2학기에는 학습코칭과 학습성과에 따른 보상시스템을 마련하여 사전 공지하고 그에 따른 학업적 자기효능감을 측정하고자 학습공동체 운영 전 후 설문조사를 실시하였다. 또한 참여학생의 학습성향 진단하기 위해 G대학 재학생에게 MLST-II 학습전략진단검사를 실시하였다. 그 결과 G대학 재학생은 학습동기와 결과기대가 낮고 정체형과 잠재형 학습자가 많아 학습공동체 참여 과정에서 학습코칭에 거부감을 느끼고 부정적인 결과를 예상하였지만 2학기 학습공동체 운영 결과 학업적 자기효능감과 학습성과에 유의미한 향상을 나타내었다. 그러므로 부정적인 학습성향의 학생이라도 자율성에 맡기기 보다는 전문가의 학습코칭과 보상시스템이 학생들의 학업적 자기효능감과 학습성과에 긍정적인 결과를 야기하므로 교육 현장에서도 이러한 융합적인 프로그램 운영방식에 대한 고려가 필요할 것이다.

Day care center for the elderly is an alternative for community care for frail elderly who need social participation and physical cares and services outside the family. The purpose of this study was to identify the present situation of day care center for the elderly and to suggest desirable interior space plans for elderly day care center. Data were collected by two ways; a mail survey and case studies of existing day care centers. Five cases of day care centers were analyzed to find out Physical and space problems, available programs and services. Also, the staffs in 96 day care centers for the elderly in nationwide were selected for a mail survey and 68.8 percentage of all was collected and analyzed. From the result of case studies, narrow space and lack of accessibility features for wheelchair or other prosthetic devices were the major problems. From the result of a mail survey analysis, the elderly users were over 73 years old, and high proportion had suffered from dementia and apoplexy Also, staffing ration was 1:7 In other words, one staff was caring of 7 old people, and supporting staff was insufficient. Therefore, supportive, therapeutic environment Was more important issue to improve quality of care. Separate program room and outdoor space, lounging space, treatment room by gardening, separate counselling room, bedroom, a simple kitchen unit, staff office, separate physical treatment room, resting room for staff was indicated more necessarily. When priority of planning interior space was safety followed by accessability and convenience, it was also reported that sire of each room was generally narrow. The most serious problem in interior space was the lack and narrowness of space, and accessible features for mobility. Based on the literature review and the findings of this study, two types of floor plans for elderly day care center were suggested;‘a mixed type for the elderly with and without dementia’and‘a separate type for the elderly with dementia.’The main goals for designing interior space for two types of elderly day care center were to provide safe environment, encouraging environment for remaining abilities of users, sanitary environment, therapeutic environment, familiar environment, and socially-encouraging environment. The recommendations for further studies were suggested.

이 연구는 우간다 농촌지도사업의 발전과정을 조망하고 발전방안을 제시하는 것이다. 우간다에서 농촌지도사업에 대한 많은 접근방법이 사용되었지만, 농업생산성이나 수익성 향상에 도움이 되었다는 선행연구 결과는 없는 실정이다. 그 동안 너무 많은 농촌지도사업에 대한 개혁사업이 이루어졌지만, 부분적으로 상향식 접근방법도 있었지만, 대부분의 접근방법은 하향식 접근방법이었다. 많은 사례에서 농촌지도사업에 대한 이러한 개혁은 농업생산이나 수익성에 영향을 줄 정도로 발전될 수 있는 기회가 주어지지 않았다. 향후 성공적인 농촌지도사업과 농촌개발이 이루어지기 위해서는 기술적인 전문가와 자원의 유용성 증가 뿐만 아니라, 농촌지도사업과 농촌개발 프로그램을 기획하고 수행할 때의 농촌지도사업의 제도적인 역할정립에 대한 정부의 의지와 지역주민의 적극적인 참여가 이루어지도록 해야 할 것이다. 그리고 우간다에서 공공 농촌지도사업은 수요자에 필요한 적절한 지도사업이 이루어지도록 수요자중심의 농촌지도사업이 이루어지도록 해야 할 것이다.
