The oxidation ditch (OD) is one of the most widely used processes for treating municipal wastewater. However, the microbial communities in the OD systems have not been well characterized, and little information about the shift of bacterial community during the startup process of the OD systems is available. In this study, we investigated the bacterial community changes during the startup period (over 100 days) of a full-scale OD. The results showed that the bacterial community dramatically changed during the startup period. Similar to the activated sludge samples in other studies, Proteobacteria (accounting for 26.3%-48.4%) was the most dominant bacterial phylum in the OD system, but its relative abundance declined nearly 40% during the startup process. It was also found that Planctomycetes proliferated greatly (from 4.79% to 13.5%) and finally replaced Bacteroidetes as the second abundant phylum in the OD system. Specifically, some bacteria affiliated with genus Flavobacterium exhibited remarkable decreasing trends, whereas bacterial species belonging to the OD1 candidate division and Saprospiraceae family were found to increase during the startup process. Despite of the bacterial community shift, the organic matter, nitrogen, and phosphorus in the effluent were always in low concentrations, suggesting the functional redundancy of the bacterial community. Moreover, by comparing with the bacterial community in other municipal wastewater treatment bioreactors, some potentially novel bacterial species were found to be present in the OD system. Collectively, this study improved our understandings of the bacterial community structure and microbial ecology during the startup of a full-scale wastewater treatment bioreactor.

Purpose: This study is conducted to identify the impacts of tax exemption on community benefit, policy, human resource management, and public benefit. Based on the results of analysis, we explore several avenues to raise public benefit that is central to the value of existence of non-for-profit hospitals in Korea. Methodology: Survey was formulated referring to the US IRS tax exemption criteria, Form990/Schedule H, and Korean public hospital criteria. A total of 182 survey responses were collected and used to verify measurement validity and perform reliability analysis, confirmatory factor analysis, and path analysis. Findings: The result of this study showed positive relationships among; i) tax development and planning, ii) planning and human resource management, iii) human resource management and policy, iv) policy and community benefit, v) community benefit and public benefit. Practical Conclusion: Tax exemption affects community benefit and public benefit directly as well as indirectly. This implies that expanding tax exemption is likely to improve public benefit mediating community benefit.

This study was performed to evaluate the appropriateness of resource allocation based on the ranking of health center function. Through the Delphi processes, health center functions were ranked in order of importance as follows; planning and research, followed by health education, health promotion, management of chronic diseases, health screening tests, welfare activities, mental health services, medical personnel management, medical services, prevention of communicable diseases, maternal and infant health services, housekeeping, management of oral hygiene, nutrition services, surveillance for community health services, family planning, and administration of the health center. In relation to the above priorities, the allocation of manpower was not appropriate. Even though the expert groups emphasized on functions such as planning and research, health education, and health promotion, they inputted more personnel for administration of a health center, maternal and infant health services, and medical services which were evaluated with lower importance. The budget allocation showed the same trends as the above. Although the functions such as planning and research, health education, and health promotion, and management of chronic diseases were evaluated highly, the budget was allocated accordingo to the the results of the former fiscal year rather than on the importance of function. However the budget for nutrition services, surveillance for the community health services, family planning, and administration of a health center was allocated according to priority. Based upon the above findings, community health center should be given the opportunity to make their own ranking of health center function and to allocate their resources including personnel and budget in order to improve the responsibilities and roles of the community health center.

Rearing community youth has been main factors of sustainable agriculture and rural community. The purposes of this study were to analyze the leadership skill and organizational commitment of community youth and to investigate the relationship between leadership skill and organizational commitment. The data were collected from 196 rural youth by stratified random sampling. The study was adopted t-test, ANOVA factor analysis and correlation analysis. The major findings of this study were as follows; First, community youth married, wealthier, and expanded farming area were more likely to have leadership life skills than others. Second, community youth wealthier and expanded farming area were more likely to have organizational commitment than others. Third, group activity, being leader, teaming skill, communication self understanding, decision making, language skill among leadership skills have positively correlated with organizational commitment.

This study shows how community can support the work-family balance and stimulate efforts of community within it. For this purpose, community concepts are defined and its demands and resources are compared with those of work and the family, Furthermore, it will examine the conditions which individuals, couples and neighborhoods need for work since the family balance is examined through the family-friendly community index. Various examples of volunteer activities or movements within the community that will support the work-family balance of the neighbors are also demonstrated. Also, the alternatives fur healthy family support activities in Korea are suggested.

본 연구는 지역사회복지관에 근무하는 사회복지사들의 자원연계기술에 지역사회복지관 조직풍토가 미치는 영향을 확인하고, 이들의 관계에서 성찰적 사고의 매개효과를 검증하고자 하였다. 이를 위해 지역사회복지관의 조직풍토, 자원연계기술, 성찰적 사고에 대한 선행연구를 토대로 연구모형을 설정하여 매개효과를 검증하였다. 본 연구의 대상은 부산광역시 소재의 종합사회복지관, 노인복지관, 장애인복지관 전수를 대상으로 이들 기관에 근무하는 사회복지사들을 대상으로 하였다. 자료수집은 우편설문조사방법으로 실시하였고, 526명의 자료를 최종분석에 활용하였다. 주요연구결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 지역사회복지관의 조직풍토는 사회복지사의 자원연계기술에 통계적으로 유의미한 정적 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 즉, 사회복지사들이 조직풍토에 대해 긍정적으로 인식할수록 자원연계기술의 활용정도가 증가함을 의미한다. 둘째, 지역사회복지관의 조직풍토와 사회복지사의 자원연계기술과의 관계에서 성찰적 사고의 매개효과는 통계적으로 유의한 것으로 나타났다. 연구결과를 토대로 지역사회복지관 사회복지사들의 자원연계기술향상과 성찰적 사고의 실천적 방안들을 제언하고, 실천적 함의 및 추후연구과제에 대해 제시하였다.

대학은 지식 인적 자원, 공간 시설 자원, 그리고 경제적 자원 등 다양한 자원을 보유하고 있는 기관이다. 동시에 대학은 교육, 연구와 함께 봉사의 사회적 임무를 가지고 설립된 기관이기도 하다. 최근 한국에서는 지역 주민들의 역량강화를 통한 지속가능한 도시재정비 방식을 추구하는 도시재생 계획들이 진행되고 있는데, 이 과정에서 대학과 지역사회 간의 협력을 통해 대학이 가진 다양한 자원을 활용하자는 목소리들이 높아지고 있다. 하지만 이러한 주장들은 지역사회가 당면한 문제 해결에 있어 대학이 가진 다양한 자원들을 어떻게 활용 할 수 있을 것인지, 즉 구체적으로 '어떤 협력'을 '어떻게 실현'하여 '어떤 문제' 해결에 기여할 수 있을지에 대한 고민은 부족한 실정이다. 이러한 문제의식에서부터 출발하여, 이 연구에서는 한국이 현재 당면한 고령화, 지방쇠퇴, 학령인구 감소, 기성시가지 쇠퇴 등 유사한 문제를 먼저 경험하고 있고, 정치적, 경제적, 사회적으로 유사한 점이 많으며, 대학과 지역사회 간의 적극적인 협력을 통해 도시재생을 진행하고 있는 일본 사례의 고찰을 통해 한국 사회에의 시사점을 도출하였다.

Background: The majority of women in rural India have poor or no access to cervical cancer screening services, although one.quarter of all cervical cancers in the world occur there. Several large trials have proven the efficacy of low-tech cervical cancer screening methods in the Indian context but none have documented the necessary components and processes of implementing this evidence in a low-resource setting. Methods: This paper discusses a feasible model of implementation of cervical cancer screening programme in low-resource settings developed through a pilot research project carried out in rural Tamilnadu, India. The programme used visual inspection of cervix after acetic acid application (VIA) as a screening tool, nurses in the primary care centres as the primary screeners and peer educators within Self-Help Women groups to raise community awareness. Results: The uptake of screening was initially low despite the access to a screening programme. However, the programme witnessed an incremental increase in the number of women accessing screening with increasing community awareness. Conclusions: The investigators recommend 4 key components to programme implementation in low-resource setting: 1) Evidence-based, cost-effective test and treatment available within the reach of the community; 2) Appropriate referral pathways; 3) Skilled health workers and necessary equipment; and 4) Optimisation of health literacy, beliefs, attitudes of the community.
