  • This study was carried out to assess the degree of cognitive impairment and health status for the aged people in seoul area. The subjects were selected 117 aged at the nursing home and 101 residents from the community. To assess the cognitive function, Mini-Mental Status Examination(MMSE-K) and the assessement tool of health status for the elderly which was developed by Lee(1989) used to check the health status. The followings are the results of the Survey Study; 1. The elderly who were assessed as a cognitive impairment status was $47.9\%$ of the nursing home people and $42.6\%$ of the ordinary community residency elderly. 2. Health status of the community residency elderly was much better condition than the status of the nursing home residency elderly. 3. There was a significant relationship between the degree of cognitive impairment and the physical health status.

  • 이 연구의 목적은 미국 청소년의 독서행태 및 학교 안팎의 독서환경의 특성에 대하여 분석 및 기술하는 것이다. 먼저 미국, 영국 및 아일랜드 청소년의 독서행태에 관한 주요한 연구 및 각종 통계보고서들을 검토하고, 가정의 독서환경, 학교도서관을 중심으로 한 학교 독서환경 및 공공도서관을 중심으로 한 사회적 독서환경을 기술하였다. 1950년대 이후 학교도서관의 비약적 확산과 공공도서관 청소년서비스의 발전을 가져온 미국의 사례는 점점 감소하는 청소년 독서율의 제고 및 독서환경의 조성에 국가, 학교, 사회, 가정이 협력해야 함을 보여준다.

  • This paper examines the failure to promote adequate preventive health care in the U.S. It focuses specifically on the preventive health services of screening, counseling, and immunization. It explores evidence on their effectiveness, as well as coverage under current private and public health insurance plans. It concludes with a proposal to expand health insurance coverage for preventive services and to reimburse physicians directly for preventive health services provided to patients.

  • 본 연구는 미국 공공도서관의 이민자 대상 서비스를 1900년대 초와 현재로 나누어 분석 비교하였다. 1900년대 초의 미국 공공도서관은 영어강좌를 개설하고 미국 시민으로서 갖추어야 할 정보들을 제공함으로써 미국화 운동에 앞장섰다. 공공도서관 사서들은 또한 외국어 자료의 중요성을 인식하였다. 외국어 자료의 제공과 이민자를 위한 다양한 서비스의 개발은 결국 이민자들이 미국 사회에 동화되는 것을 촉진시켰다. 100년이 흐른 지금도 상황은 크게 달라지지 않았다. 공공도서관들은 여전히 이민자들의 영어 교육에 중점을 둔 채, 포괄적인 외국어 자료 장서와 문화적으로 다양한 도서관 프로그램으로 각기 다른 나라에서 온 이민자들에게 서비스를 제공하려 노력하고 있다.

  • Background: Styrene is one of the aromatic compounds used in acetonitrile-butadiene-styrene (ABS) producing petrochemicals, which has an impact on health of workers. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the health risks of styrene emitted from the petrochemical industry in Iran. Methods: Air samples were collected based on NIOSH 1501 method. The samples were analyzed by the Varian-cp3800 gas chromatograph. Finally, risk levels of styrene's health effects on employees were assessed by the quantitative method of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (U.S. EPA) and the semiquantitative way by the Singapore Occupational Safety and Health Association. Results: Based on the results, the employees had the highest average exposure to styrene vapors (4.06 × 10-1mg.(kg - day)-1) in the polybutadiene latex (PBL) unit. Therefore, the most top predictors of cancer and non-cancer risk were 2.3×10-4 and 7.26 × 10-1, respectively. Given that the lowest average exposure (1.5 × 10-2mg.(kg - day)-1) was in the dryer unit, the prediction showed a moderate risk of cancer (0.8 × 10-6) and non-cancer (2.3 × 10-3) for the employees. The EPA method also predicted that there would be a definite cancer risk in 16% and a probable risk in 76% of exposures. However, according to the semiquantitative approach, the rate of risk was at the "low" level for all staff. The results showed that there was a significant difference (p < 0.05) between the units in exposure and health risk of styrene (p < 0.05). Conclusion: Given the high risk of styrene's health effects, appropriate control measures are required to reduce the exposure level.
