Objectives: The purpose of this study was to assess general population' AIDS knowledge and attitudes towards AIDS. Methods: Using a multistage area sampling and random digit dialing method, a random sample of individuals aged 19-59 years, living in 16 different area in Korea during September 2007 were interviewed by telephone. Results: In all, 1,087 respondents completed the survey. In most items, respondents displayed a fairly good degree of knowledge about AIDS. However it was lower than that in developed countries. Respondents' attitudes towards AIDS were found to be negative. The knowledge and attitudes towards AIDS were more positive for respondents who were young, educated, office worker or students, higher in income. The higher level of knowledge, the more positive attitudes towards AIDS. Conclusions: In general AIDS related knowledge was relatively low and people showed negative attitudes towards AIDS. Incorrect knowledge and lack of information on AIDS would lead to unnecessary negative attitudes and there need to be addressed by health education programs and campaigns using mass media.

Sudan is the largest country in Africa with an area of $2,505,810km^2$, of water constitutes $129,810km^2$, and cultivable land is 34%. Sudan has a total land boundary of 7,687 km with 9 border countries. This vast country embraces different vegetation patterns reflecting various climatic zones, grading from tropical rain forests in the south through semi-tropical savannah to arid zone in the extreme north, with annual rainfall ranging from 1,600 mm in the south to 25 mm in the north. The aquaculture industry is not developed as yet. Because of their basic characteristics, the Sudan inland and marine capture fisheries are of a small-scale and semi-industrial nature. The demand for fish and fish preparations is growing steadily. The animal resources sector (which includes fisheries) contributes 21% of Sudan GDP. The contribution of fisheries to Sudanese GDP is currently marginal. The per caput supply is only 1.6 kg/year, which is mostly obtained by capture fish landings. Despite the fact that fisheries GDP is extremely low, fish and fish preparations contribute to the food security of a wide sector of the rural and urban communities. Fisheries also provide work opportunities in the form of secondary employment as a source of income that indirectly contributes to household food security.

본 연구는 청년층의 고용문제가 눈높이 조절의 실패에 기인한다는 주장을 "한국노동패널"을 이용한 실증 분석을 통해 비판적으로 검토하였다. 의중임금의 동태적인 변화를 통한 분석을 통해, 눈높이 격차가 존재하는 것은 사실이지만, 기간의 경과에 따라 시장임금을 고려하여 의중임금이 조정되고 있음을 밝혔다. 또한 노동시장 이행경험을 노동시장 진입과정을 넘어서 노동시장 정착과정으로 확장하여, 직업경력에 부정적인 영향을 미치는 것은 첫 일자리를 획득하기까지의 소요기간이 아니라 첫 일자리의 질과 불안정한 취업경험임을 밝혔다. 이는 청년층의 비취업 문제가 좋은 일자리만을 선호하기 때문이라기보다는 괜찮은 일자리의 감소와 노동시장의 이중화라는 노동시장의 구조적인 문제에 기인함을 시사한다.

In this paper, I review evidence on changing global specialization in labor-intensive exporting. Production of apparel, footwear, furniture, and related products are how many low-income countries first enter export manufacturing. Just as China's rise as a powerhouse in these goods supplanted a role previously occupied by the East Asian Tigers, the world may again be on the cusp of significant change in where labor-intensive goods are produced. China's prowess in these sectors peaked in the early 2010s; its share in their global exports, while still substantial, is now in decline. Mechanisms through which the global economy may adjust to China's graduation into more technologically sophisticated activities include expanded labor-intensive export production in other emerging economies and labor-saving technological change in products currently heavily reliant on less-educated labor. Available evidence suggests that the first mechanism is operating slowly and the second hardly at all. As a third mechanism, China may in part replace itself by moving labor-heavy factories out of densely populated and expensive coastal cities and into the country's interior. Such a transition, though still in its infancy, would mirror the decentralization of manufacturing production in the U.S. and Europe, which occurred after World War II.

Background: Traffic injuries have become a significant public health problem in low- and middle-income countries. Several studies have examined the role of personality and attitude toward traffic safety in predicting driving behaviors in diverse types of drivers. Few studies have investigated risky behavior among public passenger van drivers. This study aims to identify the predictors of self-reported risky driving behavior among public van drivers. Method: A total of 410 public van drivers were interviewed at terminal stations in Bangkok. Hierarchical regression models were applied to determine the effects of demographics, personality traits, and attitude on self-reported risky driving behaviors. Results: The results indicated that drivers with a high education level, more working days, and high scores for normlessness and anger were more likely to report risky driving behaviors (p < 0.05). Conclusion: The personality traits and attitude toward speeding account for aberrant self-reported risky driving behavior in passenger van drivers. This could be another empirical basis for evidence-based road safety interventions in the context of public transport.

Public investment is the process of investing capital in projects that serve national interests and thereby create a driving force for economic development in each country. Especially in developing countries, investment capital is limited, so improving the efficiency of public investment becomes a decisive factor for economic development and enhancing the country's status and ultimately making the country a should be rich. Vietnam has a low starting point, has gone through the doi moi process, and has gradually become a middle-income country, and public investment is attracting attention to improve the quality of the country's infrastructure. The objective of this study is to evaluate the factors affecting the effectiveness of public debt management in Vietnam, through a survey of 150 experts with knowledge of public investment and public debt management, using the results of the estimation through the Using SPSS software, the research results show that the monitoring system and human resource quality have an impact on the effectiveness of public debt management. The study could not, however, discover any proof of the influence of institutional quality, geographic location, or accountability on the effectiveness of public debt management. The research also addresses several policy recommendations for Vietnam that would help the country manage its public debt better in the future.

Current straw mushroom farming in countries with large rice growing areas has great development potential, and was once considered a way to generate additional income and reduce poverty in rural areas. However, currently most people still grow mushrooms using traditional processes, leading to low productivity and unguaranteed output quality. Currently, due to climate change and unusual weather changes, people tend to switch to growing straw mushrooms indoors. In the process of growing straw mushrooms indoors, the design of an automatic control and monitoring system is very important to ensure the growing process is carried out effectively and achieves high yields. In this paper, we propose a system that can automatically control and monitor the humidity and temperature of the indoor straw mushroom growing process and other parameters that can be monitored through a network system using Internet of Things. The control algorithm automatically adjusts the grow house equipment based on feedback from sensors to maintain an optimal environment for growing straw mushrooms. Experimental results show that the straw mushroom growing system with automatically controlled and monitored environmental parameters helps improve efficiency, reduce costs and increase the sustainability of the current straw mushroom growing industry.

본 논문은 국가간 사회복지수준을 비교하는 기준으로서 경제수준과 사회수준 중 후자가 보다 적절한 기준임을 밝혀냈다. 또한 사회복지지출이 많은 나라들일수록 사회수준이 경제수준보다 높은 경향을 보였는데 이는 경제성장 위주의 정책보다는 사회 각 부문의 균형적 발전을 통한 보편적 삶의 질, 즉 사회수준 향상이 사회복지수준 향상에 중요한 요인임을 제시하는 결과였다. 한국의 사회복지수준은 우리의 경제, 사회수준을 고려한 기대수준보다 현저히 낮다는 기존의 사실을 다시 한번 확인하였다. 이러한 결과를 근거로 보편적 삶의 질과 빈곤층의 삶의 질 수준과의 격차를 해소하여 권리로서의 사회복지를 실현하는 것이 시급한 과제라는 것과 사회수준 자체의 향상을 통해 사회복지에 대한 국민적 관심을 증가시키고, 사회복지부문간 격차, 즉 사회보험과 공공부조와의 현격한 차이를 줄이는 정책이 필요하다는 점을 제시하였다.

국민연금은 각종 사회적 위험으로부터 국민을 보호하고 빈곤을 해소하는 대표적인 사회보장제도로, 노령인구의 삶의 질에 큰 영향을 미치고 있다. 그러나 급속도로 진행되고 있는 고령화와 출산율의 감소는 국민연금의 지속가능성을 위협하고 있다. 국민연금의 지속가능성을 점검하고 유지하기 위해 국민연금연구원에서는 5년마다 재정추계를 실시하고 있으며, 정부에서는 이를 바탕으로 국민연금의 지속가능성을 높이기 위해 수급액을 낮추고 있다. 하지만 OECD 국가 중 노인 빈곤율이 가장 높다는 현실을 고려할 때, 단순히 수급액을 낮추는 현재의 국민연금 제도 변화는 국민연금의 노후소득보장 기능을 훼손할 우려가 높다. 본 논문에서는 먼저 국민연금 재정추계에 대한 방법론을 인구, 가입자, 수급자 추계의 측면에서 논의하고 적립금 추계와 재정고갈연도를 점검할 것이다. 그리고 인구변수, 제도변수, 그리고 경제변수가 국민연금 적립금과 재정고갈연도에 미치는 영향을 파악하기 위해 민감도 분석을 할 것이며, 국민연금의 수급부담구조를 분석하여 세대내, 세대간, 소득계층간 공정성을 평가하도록 한다. 마지막으로 국민연금의 지속가능성을 연금 기여율과 수급률(소득대체율)의 관점에서 점검하며, 본 논문에서 새롭게 정의한 부양비(modied dependency ratio)지수를 통해, 부과식 제도의 도입이 없이 단순하게 기여율과 수급률의 조정으로는 국민연금의 개혁이 불가능하다는 것을 보여줄 것이다.

Background: This study explored perspectives of health-care providers on childhood cancer treatment in Kenya. Materials and Methods: A self-administered questionnaire was completed by 104 health-care providers in January and February 2013. Results: Seventy six percent of the health-care providers believed cancer to be curable. More doctors than other health-care providers had this positive opinion (p=0.037). The majority of health-care providers (92%) believed that most children with cancer will not be able to finish their treatment due to financial difficulties. They considered that prosperous highly-educated parents adhere better with treatment (88%) and that doctors adhere better with treatment for prosperous highly-educated parents (79%). According to 74% of health-care providers, quality of care is better for prosperous highly-educated parents (74%). Most health-care providers reported giving more explanation (71%), work with greater accuracy (70%) and use less difficult vocabulary (55%) to prosperous more educated families. Only 34% of health-care providers reported they feel more empathy towards patients from prosperous families. Reasons for non-adherence with the protocol according to health-care providers are: family refuses drugs (85%), inadequate supply of drugs at pharmacy (79%), child looks ill (75%), and financial difficulties of parents (69%). Conclusions: Health-care providers' health beliefs and attitudes differ for patients with families having high versus low socio-economic backgrounds.
