The relationship between educational fulfillment and political participation has been one of the most persistently studied subjects within the field (e.g., Berinsky and Lenz 2010). Previous studies define the positive relationship between education and political participation. It means that people who have a higher education are more likely to participate in politics than those who are less-educated. This includes both conventional and unconventional forms of participation, specifically voting and protesting (Huntington & Nelson 1976; Marsh 1990; & Dalton 2009). Falling in line with the previous research provided on the link between formal education and political participation, does non-formal education also produce similar outcomes? To understand the link between non-formal education and political participation, this study collects and explores empirical data in the post-socialist countries. With the data collected from the World Values Survey, the Eurostat Adult Education Survey, and the Eurostat Adult Education Survey in post-socialist countries, a correlation analysis between independent variable (job-related learning activities) and dependent variables (voting turnout and attending demonstration) are performed. The results of this study provide an insight into whether or not it is worth for the government to continue to administer the funds for non-formal education to consolidate a representative democracy in the post-socialist countries.
教育成就感和政治参与之间的关系一直是该领域最持久的研究主题之一(例如，Berinsky和Lenz 2010)。以往的研究明确了教育与政治参与之间的正相关关系。这意味着受过高等教育的人比受教育程度较低的人更有可能参与政治。这包括传统的和非传统的参与形式，特别是投票和抗议(Huntington & Nelson 1976;沼泽1990;& Dalton 2009)。与之前关于正规教育与政治参与之间关系的研究一致，非正规教育是否也会产生类似的结果?为了理解非正规教育与政治参与之间的联系，本研究收集并探索了后社会主义国家的实证数据。利用世界价值观调查、欧盟统计局成人教育调查和欧盟统计局后社会主义国家成人教育调查收集的数据，对自变量(与工作相关的学习活动)和因变量(投票率和参加示威)进行相关性分析。本研究的结果为政府是否值得继续管理非正规教育的资金以巩固后社会主义国家的代议制民主提供了见解。

It is currently difficult to find the tools to assess educational outcome in the field of special needs education. Therefore, this study aimed to develop the tool to evaluate the educational outcome of special needs education, called as the Special Needs Education Assessment Tool(hereafter, the SNEAT), that will enable teachers to evaluate their classes according to the changes of children with disabilities; for the development of the SNEAT, its content validity was verified with the draft of the SNEAT. For the content validity verification of the SNEAT, the surveys via interview and questionnaire were conducted for the researchers for special needs education, teachers who are affiliated with educational research institutes run by Prefectural governments and in-service teachers. In results, over 90 percent of the respondents answered that it is valid, which showed that the content validity was verified. The scientific methods to verify the SNEAT in the field of Education, however, need to be explored in the future, because the content validity verification method is done based on the subjective opinions of respondents.

This study aimed to help develop collaborative care models for care service staff working in homes and residential facilities to implement measures for the improvement of undernutrition in terms of nursing care. The survey is care service staff’s awareness of undernutrition including required information. Although nursing care providers were aware of the overall care-related needs of their care recipients, they were in somewhat knowledgeable level about the nutritional health/functioning status that can be assessed by the nutritional condition indices such as the BMI(body mass index) and serum albumin level. The results of this study suggest that the level of nursing care service providers' awareness of the improvement of undernutrition of the elderly in need of nursing care was not high; although in-home nursing care providers understood the overall picture of services or their tasks including the levels of nursing care required by elderly patients and their levels of independence in ADL(activities of daily living) according to their degrees of disabilities or dementia, they did not comprehend the nutritional status of their patients such as the styles of diet and intake of meals; and nursing care service providers in residential facilities were aware of the nutritional status of their patients, although they were not unable to understand the overall picture of services. There were significant differences in the levels of the awareness of the improvement of undernutrition by the types of nursing care-related professions ; for example, while consultants were only aware of the basics of services like the level of nursing care required by patients, nursing care providers understood the styles of diet as well as dental and choke-related conditions and health care professionals comprehended the intake of meals, BMI, and serum albumin level. The study results suggest that it is necessary to develop tools for the collection of care service-related information and assessment to be shared by care service staff to improve undernutrition to prevent the elderly from becoming to require higher levels of nursing care.

This study presents considerations for the provision of social services in the form of public-private partnerships in each region of South Korea. After identifying which local governments provide social services in the form of public-private partnerships I investigated how the public and private sectors that provide these services perceive such partnerships. To this end, in-depth interviews were conducted on public servants and workers in private welfare centers in Gangdong-gu, Seoul; Nam-gu, Busan; Jangseong-gun, Jeollanam-do Province; and Cheongju-si, Chungcheongbuk-do Province, focusing on the Community Associations of Social Welfare, Hope Welfare Supporters, Dong as a Hub of Welfare project, and Public-Private Partnership cases. The results of my analysis reveal that it is necessary to adopt a two-track approach by distinguishing between “finding” and “supporting” those in need of help in order to effectively provide social services. Furthermore, the task of providing social services to people with diverse needs cannot be done solely by the public or private sector; rather, cooperation between both is necessary. In particular, this study found that local public servants must perceive public-private partnerships more positively.

This study aimed to provide basic information for Genome and Exercise. Exercise Genomics was begun to investigate genetic differences that may affect fitness or performance at the DNA level in the 1990s. Recently the study of exercise genomics becomes very large. To provide the current results of the researches on exercise genomics, we review the recent publications and the controversy in the interpretation of the results from marker studies related to exercise genomics. Comparable reviews were currently published for weight loss treatment and drug-based therapy of type 2 diabetes. Other than the growing number of papers related to the influence of genetic polymorphisms on physical performance and adaptation to exercise training, not much is known regarding the practical use of genetic markers in exercise treatment and training.

This study aimed to explore the possibility of the use of HRQOL to evaluate the outcome of education for the students with health impairments by analyzing the contents of class(educational response) on independent activities based on the Report on the Education for the Children with health impairments in the Special Support Education in Okinawa prefecture in Japan. In results of analyzing the educational response on independent activities based on the report by using HRQOL, the most of the outcome evaluations of educational response have not been carried out with objective indicators; in results of analyzing the correlations between six scopes among those of the class of independent activities and eight scopes of HRQOL(SF-36), it was found that the seven scopes of HRQOL except the scope of bodily pain among the eight scopes were correlated with the scopes of the class of independent activities. Based on these results, the conclusions have been drawn that the objective indicator to evaluate educational outcome from the education for the children with health impairments needs to be developed and the perspectives and components of HRQOL need to be utilized to develop the evaluation scale as an objective indicator.

The Long-term Care Insurance programs Korea were implemented in July 2008 and Japan in April 2000. Though the Korean LTCI has been influenced by the Japanese LTCI, they have dissimilar as well as similar features. The most noticeable difference between the Korean LTCI and the Japanese LTCI is that the former does not have care managers who can perform case management for care users unlike the latter. The Japanese LTCI care managers, however, are hired by care providers. Therefore, care managers may not work for care users’ best interests when the interests of care providers conflict with the interests of care users. Poor working conditions such as low benefits and wages, job instability, and heavy workload have led to quality problems in both programs. Thus, measures to improve working conditions of care workers need to be implemented.
