The purpose of this study is to explore how health and health behavior factors moderate the relation between socio-economic position(SEP) and Korean elderly people's self-rated health status. The data sources are from the Korean Longitudinal Study of Aging(2008). The analysis sample consists of 4,040 cases. Analysis of the results shows that health characteristics such as ADL, MMSE, geriatric depression, and pain are significant predictors of self-rated health status. In addition, exercise and drinking alcohol also prove to be factors influencing self-rated health status. Health factor such as MMSE and health behavior factors such as drinking alcohol served as moderators of the influences of SEP on one's self-rated health status. For example, higher MMSE provides a slight increase to the positive relationship between SEP and self-rated health status. In addition, those who responded yes to drinking alcohol, compared to those who responded no, provides an increase to the positive relationship between SEP and one's self-rated health status.

The comparative evaluation of occupational accident fatality rates (OAFRs) of different countries is complicated owing to the differences in their level of socio-economic development. However, such evaluation is necessary to assess the national occupational safety and health system of a country. This study proposes a statistical method to compare the OAFRs of countries taking into consideration the difference in their level of socio-economic development. We first collected data on the socio-economic indicators and OAFRs of 11 countries over a 30-year period. Next, based on literature survey and statistical correlation analysis, we selected the significant independent variables and built multiple linear regression models to predict OAFR. We also determined the groups of countries having heterogeneous relationships between the independent variables and OAFRs, which are represented by the regression models. The proposed method is demonstrated by comparing the OAFR of Korea with the OAFRs of 10 other developed countries.

Past research shows that the construction of new infrastructure accelerates economic growth in the region by attracting more people and commodities. However, the previous studies only considered large-scale infrastructures such as sea-cross bridges and channel tunnels. There is a paucity of literature on regional infrastructure and its impact on socio-economic indicators. This paper explores the impact of new bridge construction on the human population, particularly focusing on regional bridges constructed during the 2000s in the state of Georgia. The human population at a county level was selected as a single socio-economic factor to be evaluated. A total of 124 cases were investigated as to whether the emergence of a new bridge affected the population change. The interrupted time series analysis was used to statistically examine the significance of population change due to the construction by treating each new bridge as an intervention event. The results show that, out of the 124 cases, the population of 67 cases significantly increased after the bridge construction, while the population of 57 cases was not affected by the construction at a significance level of 0.05. The 124 cases were also analyzed by route type, functional class, and traffic volume, but the results revealed, unlike large-scale infrastructure, that no clear evidence was found that a new bridge would bring an increase in the human population at a county level.

Technology for electric lighting has been evolving from Incandescent Lamp(IL) through Fluorescent Lamp(FL) and currently to Solid State Lighting(SSL) such as LED for more than 130 years of time. However, it took more than 100 years until the transition from IL to FL across overall society. That is because the transition is the Socio-Technical Transition(STT) which involves various social elements. This study investigated and analyzed the theories regarding STT, and applied the Multi-Level Perspective(MLP) theory to the case of electric lighting. A qualitative contents analysis was used with secondary data as research method, and the analyzed result was visualized based on the frame of MLP theory. The STT of electric lighting from IL to FL took place as the order of Technical Niche, Socio-Technical Regime and Landscape. Specifically, in Technical Niche level: Establishing Market Niche, Price-Performance Improvement, Learning Process and Support of Powerful Group took place. In Socio-Technical Regime level: Changes in Social Network, Changes in Technology and Changes in Rules. In Landscape level: Macro-Political Development, Socio-Economic Trends and Macro-Economic Trends took place in consecutive order.

This study aims at integrating the sociological study of technology and the economic study of technological learning. It is argued that the sociological approaches of innovation have some strong points in criticizing technological determinism, but have some weak points in explaining how the knowledge base for innovation is accumulated. On the contrary, the economic approaches of innovation have strong points in explaining technology accumulation, but ignore socio-political process of innovation. This study suggests the model which integrates the socio-political process and technological loaming process.

본 연구는 미국의 대도시지역이 경험하고 있는 산업재구조화와 신이민집단의 적응양태를 연계시켜 이해하기 위하여. 로스엔젤레스, 뉴욕. 시카고. 그리고 애틀란타를 선정하고 이들 지역에 거주하는 중남미계와 동양계의 취업분포와 거주양태를 분석하였다. 분석 결과 이들의 산업별 취업분포는 모든 분야에 나타나 대체적으로 전체인구와 유사한 분포를 보이나 제조업, 서비스업 그리고 소매업에서 비교적 높은 집중도를 보이고 있다. 이들의 거주집중지역은 도심 주변과 더불어 외곽 지역에도 나타나고 있다. 이는 기존 유럽계 이민집단이 제조업에 편중적으로 고용되고 도심 주변에 거주지를 집중시키던 적응양식과는 다른 모습을 보이고 있으며,도시별로 다양하게 전개되고 있다. 따라서 신이민집단의 적응양태에 대한 올바른 이해는 정착지역이 경험하고 있는 산업재구조화와 이에 따른 공간상의 변화 그리고 집단 내부의 다양성을 고려한 관점에 기초해야 함을 제시하고 있다.

본 연구의 목적은 사회적기업의 사회적 경제적 성과에 영향을 미치는 변수를 실증적으로 분석하고자 하는 것이다. 이를 위하여 사회적기업 중 서울소재 사회적기업 107개사를 대상으로 인증특성(인증유형, 인증연도)이 사회적기업의 사회적 경제적 성과에 미치는 영향을 미칠 것이라는 가설을 세우고 실증분석 하였다. 분석결과 첫째, 사회적기업의 인증특성 중 인증유형이 사회적 성과에 유의한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 둘째, 사회적기업의 인증특성 중 인증연도가 경제적 성과에 유의한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 인증특성 중 인증 받은 연차가 높을수록 사회적기업의 사회적 경제적 성과에 긍정적인 영향을 미치는 것으로 이해할 수 있다. 또한 일자리제공형의 사회적 성과가 높은 것으로 나타났으므로, 앞으로 이러한 유형의 인증비율을 높이는 것이 바람직할 것이다. 따라서 획일적인 지원정책만으로는 사회적기업의 지속적인 성장과 자립에 미흡하므로, 인증연차별로 지원정책을 다양화하여 사회적기업의 사회적 경제적 성과를 극대화화 함으로써 지속가능성 확보가 가능한 것으로 나타났다.

Background: Early initiation of smoking and chewing of diverse forms of tobacco among youth in India is a significant driver for tobacco epidemic in India. Several socio-demographic factors are predictors of tobacco use in populations, especially among youth. Interventions which address these socio-demographic factors can help policy makers to curb new initiations and avert morbidity and mortality due to tobacco use. Objective: To study the various sociodemographic variables associated with tobacco use among youth in India. Materials and Methods: Secondary analysis of data from the Global Adult Tobacco Survey-India 2009-10 for the age group of 15-24 years was performed and predictors of smoking and smokeless tobacco were analyzed using data on occupation, education, and other sociodemographic factors. Results: In India there are a total of 51.3 million (22.1%) youth (15-24 years) tobacco users. Of these 35.1 million consumes chewable tobacco (15.1%), 16.2 million smoke (7%) and 1.6 million are dual users (3.1%). Males, urban, less educated, un-employed and those belonging to middle class preferred smoking over chewing; whereas, females, rural, students and those belonging to low socio-economic class are predictors of smokeless tobacco use. The major determinants of dual users are male sex, poor socio-economic strata and student class. The overall tobacco use was higher among males, rural populations, lower socioeconomic strata and un-employed class. Conclusions: India's youth is more susceptible to the tobacco addiction, especially of smokeless tobacco. Youth from rural India especially students, girls and those from poor socio-economic strata prefer to use smokeless tobacco products whereas urban, male and those less educated prefer smoking tobacco products. More population-based and region-focused research is needed to understand initiation patterns into tobacco use among youth so as to inform policymakers to devise new policy measures to curb the growing epidemic.
