The purposesof the study are to analyze the community nursing center in U.S.A and to develop the model of nursing care system based on nurse-midwifery clinic in community for women's health in Korea. 1. In America nursing center is defined as nurse-anchored system of primary care delivery or neighborhood health center. Nursing centers are identified the following four types: (1) community outreach centers, which are similar to traditional public health clinics: (2) institutional-based centers following the mission of a large institution, such as a hospital or university: (3) wellness/health promotion centers, which offer screening, education, counseling, triage, and health maintenance services: and (4) independent practice. Nursing centers are a concept of services provided by nurses in practice arrangements in a community. Nursing centers offer a variety of services, ranging from primary care provided by advanced practice nurses with medical acute management and nursing care to the more traditional education, health promotion, screening wellness and coordination services. Some services, such as the care provided by advanced practice nurses are reimbursed under various insurance plan in some instances and states, where as others, such as preventive and educational services, are not. Thus, lack of reimbursement has threatened the survival of some centers. Licensing of nursing centers varies by state and program and accreditation of nursing centers is also limited. 52% of centers are affiliated with another facility and 48% are freestanding centers. The number of registered nurse at the nursing centers ranges from just one to 115, with a mean of eight RNs peragency and a median of three. Nursing centers avail ability varies: 14% are open 24 hours, 27% have variable short hours, 23% are open 6-7 days per week, and 36% are open Monday- Friday. As the result of my visiting three health centers in Seattle and San Francisco, the women's primary care nurse practitioners focus on a systematic and comprehensive assessment of the health status of women and diagnosis and management of common physical and psychosocial health concerns of women in ambulatory settings. Therapeutic nursing strategies are directed toward self-care, risk reoduction, health surveillance, stress reduction, healthy nutrition, social support, healthy coping, psychological well-being, and pharmacological therapy. They function as primary care providers for the well ness and illness care of women from adolescence through the older adult years and pregnant families. 2. In Korea a nurse-midwife practices independently for pregnant women's health including childbearing family at her own clinic in community. Her services are reimbursed under national health insurance but they are not paid on a fee-for-service schedule covering items. Analyzing the nursing centers in America, I suggest that nurse-midwifery clinics offer primary care for women and home care for chronic ill patients. The health law and health insurance policy should be reovised in order to expand nurse-midwife's and home care nurse's roles at nurse-midwifery clinic.

Chemical engineering (ChE) was conceived at the close of the 19th century as a new discipline which was designed to support then the newly-emerging industries, oil and petrochemical, by supplying the competent engineers equipped with the pertinent engineering fundamentals and skills. It helped the said industries meet the various demands and ramifications of the new pattern of the human civilization spurred by the advent of automobile transportation at the turn of the 20th century. Now ChE once again is ready to fulfill its societal responsibility as probably the most important discipline and profession in sustaining the $21^{st}$ century human civilization providing the needed engineers (ChErs) and technologies. In this study, it is attempted to analyze the role of ChE and ChErs in this context, focusing on the macroeconomic connections embedded in the discipline that allow us to envision the big pictures of the 21st century civilization where the wellbeing of the mankind invariably hinges on five essential industries, i.e., medical, pharmaceutical, energy, environment and materials. It can be argued that ChE is the only discipline that can encompass simultaneously all those five industries indispensable to sustain the 21 st century human civilization that can be termed the era of "enjoy-healthy-living-longer". It is also believed that the historical mission ChE and ChErs are supposed to fulfill now is even bigger than that they took on a hundred years ago and subsequently accomplished with remarkable success in food, clothing, shelter and entertainment industries introducing various technological innovations. The macroeconomic viewpoints are called upon in this study as were in the 2006 article (Hyun, 2006) but focusing on ChE and ChErs this time to view the connections embedded in ChE as the essential components in understanding the historical nature of the role and responsibility of ChE and ChErs. The new paradigm for ChE is also pondered over together with the frequently-cited technology concepts such as IT, BT, NT, ET and ST which are regarded intimately germane to the characteristics and perspectives of the $21^{st}$ century civilization.

통일 시기에 대순진리회 3대 중요사업인 구호자선·사회복지·제반 교육사업을 어떻게 추진할 것인가가 이 논문의 핵심 주제다. 3대 중요사업은 통일 이후에도 반드시 추진되어야 하는바, 해원상생사상의 실천에 기반하기 때문이다. 해원상생의 인존사상은 유엔헌장의 서문과 세계평화를 지향한다는 점에서 일맥상통하다. 북한의 주민은 피폐된 경제 하에서 기아에 허덕이고 있는데 통일 시기 의식주의 위기를 맞이할 것이 분명하다. 본 연구에서는 3대 중요사업의 추진 여건을 분석하기 위하여 독일의 평화통일, 예멘의 급변사태 통일, 베트남의 무력통일 사례를 진단하였다. 3가지 통일유형은 공통적으로 3대 중요사업을 수행하는데 상당한 예산과 지원을 소요케 하였는데, 특히, 급변사태 후 무력충돌과 무력통일 시에는 수많은 인명의 살상과 인프라의 파괴로 구호와 의료지원 등 의식주 문제 해결이 시급하였다. 한편, 3대 중요사업의 방안을 도출하기 위하여 유엔난민기구(UNHCR)의 모델을 분석하였는바, 정신력과 전문성을 갖춘 전문 인력의 확충, 복합적인 상황 대비 능력을 갖춘 표준적인 조직의 편성과 명확한 과업 부여, 충분한 구호물품과 예산 준비, 접경지역과 북한지역의 거점 확보, 물류 창고와 수송수단 확보, 후원금 수급을 위한 네트워크 구축 등의 시사점을 도출하였다. 이를 바탕으로 통일시기와 북한지역 상황을 고려하여 통일대비 3대 중요사업의 체계구축 분야 세부과제 8개 항과 실행대비 검토과제 9개 항을 제시하였다. 결론적으로 통일시기 3대 중요사업은 그 당위성 측면에서 소홀함이 없어야 하며, '통일시기 3대 중요사업 추진방안' 제하의 매뉴얼에 3대 중요사업 추진의의, 조직 구성 및 임무, 통일시기 예상 상황, 전진기지 및 거점 운용, 경비 및 물류 준비, 파견팀 편성 및 운용, 홍보 및 대외협력, 전문 인력 양성, 안전조치, 수송 및 연락체계 등이 포함되어야 할 것이다.
