  • 본 연구는 한국 해양대학교의 트위닝을 활용한 국제화 경영전략으로 학령인구 절벽에 직면한 한국 대학의 공통된 문제점을 해운, 조선 특성화 대학의 장점을 살려 한국 해운교육의 수출을 통한 대학경영 기여 및 대학의 국제화, 학생의 글로벌화, 해운사의 국제 경쟁력 강화를 위해 일반적인 외국대학 및 국내대학의 국제화 배경에 대한 문헌조사와 한국 해양대학의 국제화 현실, 국제화 장애요소와 촉진요소를 파악하여, 현행법에 근거한 고등교육 수출 유형에 따른 한국의 해양대학교가 나아갈 현실성 있는 국제화 방향을 타 대학의 외국인 유학생 유치 현황 및 추세, 교육과정 공동 운영에 대한 법적 타당성 및 활성화 방안, 연구자의 경험을 통하여 연구, 제시하고자 한다.

  • Background: The burden due to cancers is an emerging public health concern especially in resource-limited countries like Nigeria. The WHO estimates that cancer kills more people than tuberculosis, HIV/AIDS and malaria combined. As people in Nigeria and other developing countries are beginning to survive infectious diseases, there is an observed epidemiologic transition to chronic diseases, such as cancers. In 2008, 75 out of 1,000 Nigerians died of cancer. Despite the rising incidence and public health importance, Nigeria lacks an organized and comprehensive strategy to deal with cancers. Materials and Methods: This article reviewed 30 peer-reviewed manuscripts on cancer care in four countries. It highlights the limitations to cancer care in Nigeria; due to lack of awareness, low health literacy, absence of organized screening programs, inadequate manpower (in terms of quality and quantity) as well as limited treatment options. Results: This review led to the formulation of a proposal for Nigerian National Cancer Policy, mainly drawn from effective strategies used in Canada, Brazil and Kenya. This is a vertical cancer program that is patient-centered with an emphasis on tobacco control and cancer disease screening (similar to Canada and Brazil). Additionally, it emphasizes primary cancer prevention (similar to Kenya). Its horizontal integration with other disease programs like HIV/AIDS will improve affordability in a poor resourced country like Nigeria. Capacity building for health professionals, hub-and-spoke implementation of screening services, as well as investment in effective treatment options and increased research in cancer care are essential. International 'twinning collaborations' between institutions in richer countries and Nigeria will enhance effective knowledge translation and improve the quality of patient care. Conclusions: A national cancer policy must be developed and implemented in Nigeria in order to overcome the present limitations which help contribute to the observed increases in cancer morbidity and mortality rates. Cancer control is feasible in Nigeria if the nation was to consider and employ some of the cost-effective strategies proposed here.
