Breast cancer is the most common cancer among women in Malaysia. Therefore, it is highly important for the public to be educated on breast cancer and to know the steps to detect it early on. Healthcare providers are in the prime position to provide such education to the public due to their high knowledge regarding health and their roles in healthcare. The present systematic review involved studies conducted in recent years to analyze the knowledge, attitudes and behavior of Malaysian healthcare providers regarding breast cancer, in attempts to obtain an overall picture of how well equipped our healthcare providers are to provide optimal breast cancer education, and to see their perceptions and actual involvement in said education. The systematic review was conducted via a primary search of various databases and journal websites, and a secondary search of references used by eligible studies. Criteria for eligibility included being published from the year 2008 till present, being conducted in Malaysia, and being written in the English language. A total of two studies were eligible for this review. Findings show that Malaysian future and current healthcare providers have moderate knowledge on breast cancer, have a positive towards involvement of breast cancer education, but have poor actual involvement.

This study aims to describe actual condition of residents' involvement of Sk$\"{a}$rk$\"{a}$ll ecovillage in Sweden by in-depth interviews with five residents. This study, hopefully, could contribute to offer useful information for forming ecovillage, as well as awakening about ecovillage movement to the public in Korea. The interviews were fulfilled during spring of 2010 in G$\"{o}$teborg and Sk$\"{a}$rk$\"{a}$ll ecovillage in Sweden. The results are as follows: 1) In terms of overall residents' involvement by self-evaluation everybody agrees with that residents' involvement was quite excellent during forming stage of the village, while it has been notably decreased now in running stage. It reveals there is a gap between ideology and reality. 2) Concerning decision making method, they use majority decision instead of consensus, since only 9 households of 20 are residing there all year around, it is hardly possible to assemble all the residents in the meeting. In Accordance with problematic conflicts in the village recently, development of socialization with others and education of communication skill for residents probably could be helpful to resolve conflicts among residents in long term. 3) In terms of evaluation of ecovillage movement in Sk$\"{a}$rk$\"{a}$ll ecovillage, it is the fact that many residents live less self-sufficiently, more energy consumed than the ideology pursuits. Also, they live with close connections with conventional society. Nevertheless, the efforts they are willing to practice 3R principles (Recycle, Reuse, Reduction) have to be highly respected, if we consider its educational influence to environmental movement for the conventional society.

본 연구는 노인일자리사업 정책과정에서의 이용자 참여에 관한 탐색적 연구로서, 정책 결정 및 집행 과정에서 소위 정책대상자이자 이용자인 노인들의 참여는 어떻게 이루어지는가에 관한 연구 질문에서 시작되었다. 노인일자리사업이 비교적 성공적으로 자리잡고 있는 서울시 A구 사례를 중심으로 중앙정부에서부터 사업수행 기관의 실무선까지 정책과정의 각 단계 담당자들과의 인터뷰를 통한 질적 연구를 바탕으로 하였다. 분석 결과, 정책결정과정에서의 이용자 직접 참여는 전무(全無)하다고 볼 수 있으며, 이는 하향식 정책과정의 구조적 한계와 관료들이 파악하는 현재 노인들의 역량 부족에 기인하는 것으로 나타났다. 한편, '윗선'의 인식변화와 주요 이슈에 관한 '사회적 합의'는 이러한 경직된 정책과정에 변화를 가져올 수 있는 것으로 파악되었다. 정책집행 과정에서도 이용자 참여는 근무환경의 개선 등 제한된 범위 내에서 부분적으로 이루어지고 있었는데, 이에는 사업수행기관의 적극적인 지원이 필요한 것으로 나타났다. 기관의 적극적 지원이 뒷받침되었을 때 참여노인의 역량 강화에 따라 사업에의 참여도와 만족도 역시 높아지는 것으로 나타나 실질적 지원의 강화가 현 시점에서 이용자 참여를 높이는 데 매우 중요함을 시사하고 있다. 한편, 관련자들은 베이비 붐 세대의 은퇴 이후, 즉 미래 노인들의 참여 행태는 노인들의 역량 면에서나 사회적인 인식 면에서 기존 노인세대와는 다를 것으로 예상하고 있었다. 이는 미래의 활발한 이용자 참여를 위해서는 정부를 비롯한 관련 기관들이 지금부터 정책적인 준비와 지원을 해야 함을 시사한다.

As the cities developed and grew into larger metropolises, land value grew and land invariably became an asset. One of very critical causalities of such widespread need for development was the urban residence that got converted into cesspools of urban slum, major crime area and rapidly degraded. Incessant population growth of these cities called for more land to build residences especially the economically affordable and safe housings were needed for the citizens of none or low-income community. However, not enough attentions have yet been given to the essential basics of human habitation that exist within metropolitan limits by social, economical and political aspects. The following paper studies and elaborates the development motivation adopted by the government to develop public housing in the United States under the technical guidance of supporters and developers from national and international communities. The paper discusses current situation of public housing in the United States with a focus on understanding the present status of public housing and physical condition of their surroundings, strategies for fund mobilization, types of local involvement and community participation, ways of continuous monitoring and maintenance, etc. thereby creating a self-sustaining and integrated management plan for public housings in the future.

오늘날 많은 기업들이 기업가치를 높이기 위해 최선을 다하고 있지만 이러한 모든 기업들은 위기로부터 자유롭지 못한다. 이와 더불어 위기에 대한 대처의 부족으로서 어려움을 겪고 있는 기업 또한 어렵지 않게 볼 수 있다. 본 연구는 기업의 위기상황에서 기업이 수행하는 위기대응전략(방어적vs수용적)에 대한 소비자들의 태도에 대해 살펴 보았다. 또한 기업이 실시하는 위기대응전략과 기업의 위기 유형(역량 차원vs사회적 책임 차원)간의 상호작용에 대해서도 살펴 보았다. 이와 더불어 기업이 위기상황을 맞기 전에 실시하는 공익연계 마케팅의 메시지 유형(추상적vs구체적)과 위기상황 이후에 실시하는 위기대응전략간의 상호작용에 대해서 역시 살펴 보았다. 또한 이러한 결과는 소비자의 공익연계 마케팅에 대한 관여도를 공변량으로 통제한 후에도 같은 결과가 나타나는지에 대해서도 살펴 보았다. 본 연구의 주요 결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 위기대응전략에 따라 기업의 위기대응은 방어적 전략보다 수용적 전략의 자세를 갖추는 것이 소비자의 태도에 더욱 더 호의적인 것으로 나타났다. 둘째. 기업의 위기대응전략과 기업의 위기 유형간에 유의한 상호작용이 존재하는 것으로 나타났다. 셋째. 기업의 위기대응전략은 공익연계 마케팅 메시지 유형간에 유의한 상호작용이 존재하는 것으로 나타났다. 마지막으로 관여도는 공변량으로서 유의한 효과를 드러냈으며 관여도를 통제한 후에도 기업의 위기대응전략, 기업의 위기 유형, 공익연계 마케팅 메시지 유형간에도 상호작용을 확인할 수 있었다. 연구의 결론 부분에서는 연구결과로 인한 시사점과 한계점, 향후 연구에 대하여 그 방향을 제시하였다.

Objectives: We aimed to examine the effects of various leisure activities on cognitive impairment in young-old (aged 65-74 years) and old-old (aged ${\geq}75$ years) adults. Methods: In total, 10,279 elderly Korean individuals from the 2014 Korean National Survey on Older Adults' cohort were enrolled in our study. Cognitive impairment was assessed using the standardized score of the Mini-Mental State Examination for Dementia Screening, whereas leisure activities were recorded via self-reporting of the extent and type of leisure activity the subjects involved in over the past year. Multivariate logistic regression was used to assess the effect of leisure activities on cognitive impairment, while controlling for potential covariates. Results: The subjects were more likely to participate in cognitive activities than in non-exercise physical activities. After controlling for selected covariates, involvement in cognitive activities was found to be a significant predictor of cognitive impairment in both the groups, whereas involvement in non-exercise physical activities was not a predictor of cognitive impairment in individuals aged ${\geq}75$ years. Moreover, depressive symptoms, rural residence, and hearing difficulties were common predictors of cognitive impairment among elderly-Korean-individuals. Conclusion: Leisure activity involvement may help delay cognitive impairment, which is often concomitant with aging. Hence, an early intervention service may significantly benefit both young-old and old-old individuals.

This research attempts to provide an in-depth analysis of the public perceptions of inter-Korean economic cooperation. KDI survey data with a sample size of 1,000 were subjected to empirical analyses. By means of ordered logit estimations, we derive the following results. First, there is a significant effect of age on economic cooperation perceptions, where younger generations tend to be more negative. Second, the group who has positive view on the economic cooperation tends to prefer large-scale, domestic-entity-funded cooperation projects, whereas the group who has negative view tends to prefer small-scale projects and projects funded by international organizations. According to these results, prioritizing trade with the involvement of international organizations is likely to be an effective measure to alleviate potential political constraints and to achieve sustainable long-run economic cooperation systems when pursuing the economic cooperation.
