한의약계의 3·1운동 참여와 의의

In March 1919, the March 1st Movement began in about 10 cities across the country, including Seoul, Pyongyang, and Wonsan. At least 1 million Korean people participated. Oriental medicine doctors and pharmacists were no exception. By December, among those who had been arrested for the independence movement and whose indictments were confirmed, 81 were ‘doctors and medical students’ and 73 were medicine dealers. Of the 50 people who could be identified, 43 were brought to trial. In the case of oriental medicine doctors and pharmacists, it can be seen that the older generation was active in the independence movement. As key figures in the region, they were in a position to lead the local people, and with their ample economic power, they were able to support the expenses necessary for the independence movement. Oriental medicine doctors and pharmacists were mainly active in the early days of the independence movement. If these activities are categorized, the majority are leading and participating. They actively participated in the independence movement while doing funder, liaisons, and shelter providers. If the oriental medicine doctor or pharmacist held a position of district mayor, or was a religious executive, his or her influence was even greater. This is because oriental medicine doctors and pharmacists who have wide personal network would have had an advantage in encouraging the participation of other local influential figures and local residents in the independence movement.

공공주도 도시정비사업이 주택공급확대에 미치는 영향요인분석

This study examined how public-led public redevelopment and public reconstruction projects were perceived, and as a result of conducting and analyzing the factors affecting the expansion of housing supply, the following conclusions were drawn.
 First, it was found that union repulsion was significant as a factor influencing public-led urban maintenance projects, and second, the impact of project costs was significant. Third, the impact of transportation infrastructure level was significant, and fourth, the impact of project period was found to be significant. Fifth, the floor area ratio was also significant, and sixth, the educational infrastructure was analyzed to be significant. Overall, it was found that the member repulsion and project cost had a negative effect on the amount of housing supply, while the level of transportation infrastructure, project period, floor area ratio, and educational infrastructure had a positive effect.
 Through the results of these studies, the government and local governments should legally and administratively support public redevelopment and reconstruction projects led by the public, and make efforts to establish policies by collecting opinions from residents. In addition, by inducing active participation of residents, the efficiency of the project can be increased, which can contribute to expanding the amount of housing supply.

Relationship Between Fatigue and Burnout Syndrome Among Residents in Anesthesiology and Intensive Therapy Department

Background Anesthesiologists in Indonesia are still in high demand. The large number of patients and the heavy workload faced by residents are accompanied by quite high pressure from various aspects, this can cause anesthesia resident participants to experience fatigue so they are prone to a syndrome called burnout syndrome. This study aims to determine the relationship between fatigue and burnout syndrome among residents in the Anesthesiology and Intensive Therapy Department, Faculty of Medicine, Universitas Sumatera Utara. Methods This study was a cross-sectional study on 106 residents that was performed using a questionnaire consisting of characteristics of study samples, translated Fatigue Assessment Scale (FAS), and Maslach Burnout Inventory-Human Service Survey (MBI-HSS). Results From the analysis, it was discovered that 50% of the residents didn’t experience fatigue with a median score of FAS 21.5, and 84.9% of the residents didn’t experience burnout syndrome with a median score of MBI-HSS was 51,84 ± 19,59. There was a significant relationship between FAS and total score of MBI-HSS, emotional exhaustion, depersonalization, and personal achievement with p-value <0.001. Conclusions There was a significant relationship between FAS and total score of MBI-HSS, emotional exhaustion, depersonalization, and personal achievement.

DEVELOPMENT OF A COMFORTABLE URBAN ENVIRONMENT IN LARGE CITIES IN INDEX ASSESSMENT

In modern conditions, for large cities, the problem of creating a comfortable urban environment is urgent, which implies the creation of conditions to provide a favorable, safe and accessible environment for the population to live. A solution to this problem is in demand for large cities that have high resource potential, attracting labor resources and investments to stimulate development. The purpose of this study is to study trends in the formation of a comfortable urban environment in large cities, as well as to consider the best practices for the improvement of these cities. The main information base for the study was the urban environment quality index, formed by the Ministry of Construction and Housing and Communal Services of the Russian Federation within the framework of the federal project “Formation of a comfortable urban environment.” The theoretical review examines the basic concepts and identifies key aspects of the development of a comfortable urban environment in the scientific discourse and practice of urban planning. The dynamics of index indicators in federal districts from 2018 to 2022, as well as changes depending on assessments of urban space in various directions, are considered. According to the results of the study, it was revealed that out of 64 large cities, 60 are classified as cities with a favorable urban environment. A trend has been established for the disproportionate development of the urban space of large cities in the country relative to the federal districts, northern and southern, European and Asian parts. The highest urban environment quality index was found in cities located in the Central and Southern Federal Districts, in close proximity to the capital. The final part of the study examines the practices of improving a comfortable urban environment that participate in the federal project and are included in the register of the best according to data for 2022. The importance and necessity of participatory participation (i.e. complicity) of residents in the implementation of practices for the improvement and development of urban space is noted.

Partisipasi Warga Sekolah Dalam Upaya Pelaksanaan Program Adiwiyata Di SDN Tembok Dukuh IV/8 Surabaya

Not all schools around us have a high level of sanitation and enviromental awareness, it can be seen from school conditions that are not very clean; garbage is scattered and not sorted, smelly and dirty bathrooms, also dry and unkempt plants. Therefore, since 2006 Ministry of Environment carried out Adiwiyata Program which aims to intensify the concern of schools and enviromental culture. So as with SDN Tembok Dukuh IV/86 Surabaya endeavor to always intensify the awareness about the schools concern, so the participation of all school residents is needed to embody Adiwiyata Program.

This research uses qualitative descriptive method with interview, observation, and documentation study as the data collection techniques. The result of this research is a lot of programs are carried out to support Adiwiyata Program and not all school residents participate in the programs at one time due to teachers and school staff have their own bustles, but there are several students don't participate because of the lack of enviromental awareness.

Pengabdian Kepada Masyakarat Melalui Program Pembuatan Papan Petunjuk Jalan di Desa Kerumut

Real Work Lectures (KKN) are a concrete manifestation of students' duties to fulfill life skills with the guidance of lecturers. One of the aims of the KKN program carried out in Kerumut Village is to create street name boards which are an important means of providing information about the location and names of streets in an area. There are no street signs yet, which makes it difficult for outsiders to find locations in the area. KKN STKIP and STEI Hamzar East Lombok students have planned a solution to overcome this problem by making directional signs, especially in Kerumut Village. The method used is direct partner solution, namely making road signs which include 8 signboards, with the size of each board being 50 cm x 30 cm. After completing the plaque making, it was continued with painting which was then continued with the installation of the board which was carried out by students and assisted by the local community. Installation of signboards includes signs for village officials' houses, directional signs to important places as well as signs for RT and RW area boundaries in Kerumut Village. Activities carried out in 4 hamlets, namely Toron hamlet, Gubuk Daya hamlet, Benteng hamlet and Dasan Lendang hamlet, were carried out well with the support and assistance of the village residents. There were no significant obstacles in the process of preparation, implementation and evaluation of activities, it's just that the process took a long time. Making and installing road signs or plaques is a form of participation, coordination and active involvement of students, lecturers and local village residents.

Virtual Reality–Enabled Resident Education of Lateral-Access Spine Surgery

OBJECTIVELateral access spine surgery has many benefits, but adoption has been limited by a steep learning curve. Virtual reality (VR) is gaining popularity and lends itself as a useful tool in enhancing neurosurgical resident education. We thus sought to assess if VR-based simulation could enhance the training of neurosurgery residents in lateral spine surgery. METHODSNeurosurgery residents completed a VR-based lateral spine module on lateral patient positioning and performing lateral lumbar interbody fusion (LLIF) using the PrecisionOS VR system on the Meta Quest 2 headset. Simulation occurred 1x/week every other week for a total of 3 simulations over 6 weeks. Pre- and post-intervention surveys as well as intra-simulation performance metrics were assessed over time. RESULTSThe majority of resident participants showed improvement in performance scores, including an automated PrecisionOS precision score, number of X-rays used within the simulation, and time to completion. All participants showed improvement in comfort with anatomic landmarks for lateral access surgery, confidence performing lateral surgery without direct supervision, and assessing fluoroscopy in spine surgery for hardware placement and image interpretation. Participant perception on the utility of VR as an educational tool also improved. CONCLUSIONVR-based simulation enhanced neurosurgical residents’ ability to understand lateral access surgery. Immersive surgical simulation resulted in improved resident confidence with surgical technique and workflow, perceived improvement in anatomical knowledge, and simulation performance scores. Trainee perceptions on virtual simulation and training as a curriculum supplement also improved following completion of VR training.

Community development promoted by policies: an analysis from the perspective of gentrification

This article explores how public policies can promote community development in contexts of gentrification, focusing on the period 2018-2023. Through a scoping review methodology with a qualitative approach, emerging trends in academic literature on this topic were analyzed. The study identified key dynamics between urban revitalization policies and their impacts on local communities, highlighting both the advantages and disadvantages of these processes. The limitations of community development when resident participation and social equity are not adequately considered, as well as the opportunities that arise from implementing inclusive and community-centered policies, were explored. This analysis is critical to designing more effective strategies that minimize the negative effects of gentrification, such as the displacement of low-income residents, and that promote sustainable and equitable urban development

Mangrove forest ecosystem has various ecological, socio-economic and cultural functions for society, such as for nature tourism or ecotourism activities. The purpose of this article is to discuss the potential for the development of the Angke Kapuk Mangrove Forest Nature Park (TWA), North Jakarta for ecoturism activities. The research method used in this study was qualitative method. The results of the study showed that there are various strengths that are potential for the Angke Mangrove Forest to be developed for ecotourism, such as the strategic location of tourist attractions, the presence of natural tourism objects, and the existence of interesting a variety of flora and fauna species of mangroves for visitors. However, the Angke Kapuk Mangrove Forest still has some weaknesses. Therefore, for the development of these natural tourism or ecotourism areas in the future, it is necessary to pay attention to the principles of ecotourism, such as tourism activities must minimize negative impacts on the environment, the need to increase the active participation of local residents.

Social participation in the city: exploring the moderating effect of walkability on the associations between active mobility, neighborhood perceptions, and social activities in urban adults

BackgroundLiving in urban environments is associated with several health risks (e.g., noise, and air pollution). However, there are also beneficial aspects such as various opportunities for social activities, which might increase levels of social participation and (physically) active mobility that in turn have positive effects on health and well-being. However, how aspects of the environment, active mobility, and social participation are associated is not well established. This study investigates the moderating effect of low vs. high walkability neighborhoods on the associations between active mobility, and social participation and integrates individuals’ subjective perception of the neighborhood environment they are living in.MethodsCross-sectional data from 219 adults (48% female, mean age = 46 ± 3.8 years) from 12 urban neighborhoods (six low, six high walkability) were analyzed: First, social participation, active mobility, and subjective neighborhood perceptions were compared between people living in a low vs. high walkability neighborhood via t-tests. Second, multigroup path analyses were computed to explore potential differences in the associations between these variables in low vs. high walkability neighborhoods.ResultsSocial participation, active mobility, and subjective neighborhood perceptions didn’t differ in low vs. high walkability neighborhoods (p: 0.37 − 0.71). Active mobility and subjective neighborhood perceptions were significantly stronger related to social participation in low vs. high walkability neighborhoods (active mobility in low: ß = 0.35, p < .01 vs. high: ß = 0.09, p = .36; subjective neighborhood perceptions in low: ß = 0.27, p < .01 vs. high: ß = 0.15, p = .18).ConclusionsDespite living in neighborhoods with objectively different walkability, participants rated social participation and active mobility equally and perceived their neighborhoods similarly. However, zooming into the interrelations of these variables reveals that social participation of residents from low walkability neighborhoods depends stronger on active mobility and perceiving the environment positively. Positive perceptions of the environment and active mobility might buffer the objectively worse walkability. Future research should focus on underlying mechanisms and determinants of subjective neighborhood perceptions and active mobility, especially in low walkability neighborhoods.

Green Spaces and the Spontaneous Renewal of Historic Neighborhoods: A Case Study of Beijing’s Dashilar Community

Renewal projects dealing with public spaces in Chinese historic neighborhoods were mainly dominated by government entities and experts, but their increasing commercialization and standardization did not fully meet the residents’ needs. In this context, resident-driven regeneration practices centered on small-scale gardening are becoming more popular as an alternative. However, few studies focused on the strengths and intentions of these informal gardens and the implications for the renewal of public space in historical communities. A case study was carried out in the Dashilar area, a historical community with numerous informal gardens. Specifically, resident-led community gardens were first sampled and investigated. Second, the components of these gardens were identified and classified with multiple indicators. Third, agglomerative hierarchical clustering was applied to distinguish the different types and the resident needs behind them, and two kinds of renewal projects were compared. The results show that the spontaneous actions and participation of residents, drawing on local knowledge, are critical to the popularity of informal community gardens among local residents, which is also supplementary to the current organizational mechanisms of public space renewal in historical communities. Our research is expected to enrich the research contents of urban green spaces and provide theoretical support for the sustainable development and renewal of historic neighborhoods.

Field research is a type of research that studies phenomena in their natural environment. It was concluded that stunting in North Kelarik village in 2022 had decreased from the previous year, this was due to programs implemented by the government and the participation of residents so that stunting could decrease.

The Kehler Management System®: Integration of External Stakeholders in the Quality Assessments of Municipal Administrations

Abstract Research purpose The Kehler Management System (KMS) is a tool for assessing quality in municipalities. Due to technological advancements, globalisation, greater market dynamics, changing values and demographic change, municipalities find themselves in a complex and dynamic field of tension. The diversity and complexity of these fields of activity and relationship structures continue to increase, making it difficult for municipalities to adapt their processes. However, in the first stage, the focus of KMS was limited to the internal perspective of the municipal administration. This was coherent in terms of an initially necessary reduction of complexity, but in terms of a holistic view, this is insufficient. Following the successful introduction of the KMS for quality assessment in the internal structure of public administration, the concept is being expanded to include the external perspective of stakeholders. The question is: “How can the satisfaction of various stakeholder groups in the municipality be measured in a way that incurs significant participation and produces relevant results for the decision-makers in the municipality?” Design / Methodology / Approach The research design takes the form of a case study and focuses on the municipality of Ottersweier. The basis for developing the external perspective is determining the stakeholder groups interacting with a municipality. Six stakeholder groups are identified: Residents, local businesses, business partners of the administration, capital providers of the administration, civil society actors such as associations, clubs and interest groups, and corporations and institutions under public law, e.g. neighbouring municipalities. In analogy to the KMS's approach to the municipal administration's internal perspective, the first step is identifying impact factors grouped into success clusters. To assess the impact factors, questions relevant to the impact factors are developed. Questionnaires were developed and tested for the stakeholder group of residents, local businesses and clubs. All questionnaires were tested in the Ottersweier community. Findings: The survey brought about significant results that aligned with the staff's experience in the municipality. Local businesses indicated a "General Satisfaction" of 81%. They were especially satisfied with the work of the administration. The impact cluster is considered to be fulfilled. However, 18 companies indicated a willingness to relocate out of the municipality for other reasons. The survey of the clubs showed a high level of satisfaction with the service quality of the municipality for this stakeholder group. The general satisfaction of the clubs was 98%. The evaluation of the residents' views showed that the two impact clusters, "General satisfaction" and "Administration," were above the 80% hurdle. The results for the impact clusters "Municipal Policy" and "Supply and Infrastructure"were noteworthy. Both the survey of residents and local businesses obviously failed to meet the KMS target of 80% effectiveness for these two impact clusters. A closer examination of the detailed questions revealed that both stakeholder groups perceive the same areas as particularly deficient: communication and implementation of the municipal council's mission statement and public transport. Originality / Value / Practical implications In previous surveys of residents in various municipalities without using the KMS, the participation of residents was so low that only limited conclusions could be drawn about the quality of municipal services. Therefore, an attempt was made to keep the number of questions to residents as low as possible to increase the survey's acceptance. The response rate was significantly expanded concerning the number of residents compared to previous surveys. Since two stakeholder groups perceived two areas as deficient independently of each other, "Municipal Policy" and "Supply and Infrastructure", the municipality of Ottersweier must conduct a weakness analysis in order to develop a plan for action to improve the services. Semi-structured, qualitative interviews with residents can be used for this analysis. Also, the motives for local businesses to consider relocation should be investigated in more detail.

공공의료기관 체계에 참여하는 주체들의 역할과 참여 방법에 관한 행정법적 연구

In Korea, it is urgent to establish a sound public health care system, because total number of public hospitals is not sufficient &amp; facilities are aging. In particular, with the COVID-19 pandemic, national &amp; local government's limitation in providing public health care only through public hospitals had been revealed. Therefore, national &amp; local government &amp; various actors in society to participate in establishing a sound public health care system is necessary. In administrative law, Network Theory(Netzwerktheorie in German) is a theory that has attempted to discuss the participation of not only states(includes local governments) and private enterprises, but also more diverse social subjects such as residents in administration. Network theory(Netzwerktheorie in German) means a theory that includes “building a long-term relationship while interacting with a number of independent subjects in society for important resource exchange.&#x0D; To establish public health care system, the writer suggests the roles and methods of participation performed by each subject based on Network Theory. For this discussion, the subjects participating in establishing system of public hospitals are divided into ① states and local governments, ② private enterprises, ③ residents and general public, and ④ non-profit private organization. The roles of each subject are below: First, states and local governments plays roles in providing public health care service through public hospitals as before, and provides and maintains a place for cooperation for various subjects to participate in cooperation with the system of public hospitals that are converted to network relations. The method of participation of states and local government focuses on legislation to improve the legal system of public hospitals. Second, private enterprises are in charge of commissioning work related to facilities of public hospitals from the states and local governments. The method of participation of private enterprises focuses on the Private Finance Initiative(PFI) to ease the financial burden administered to facilities of public hospitals and to ensure that public hospitals can properly provide public health care services. Third, residents and the general public play a role in deciding jointly with the states and local governments on the establishment or operation of public hospitals. The method of participation of residents and the general public shall be discussed focusing on the residents-participation in the planning stage. Fourth, non-profit private organizations play a role in monitoring whether the establishment and operation of public hospitals are properly carried out. The method of participation of non-profit private organizations will be discussed focusing on class action.&#x0D; By clarifying the roles and methods of the subjects participating in establishing the system of public hospitals, it is expected to be able to effectively respond to the pandemic that may occur again in the future. In addition, it is expected that public hospitals can provide high-quality public health care service to the public and protect the lives and bodies of the people.

주민자치조직의 지역공동체 의식에 관한 연구

Since the restoration of the self-governance system in 1995, Korea has been striving to stabilize the implementation of the local government system and expand local autonomy to overcome the limitations of representative democracy. In 1998, a local self-governance committee was established and operated to reflect the needs of residents through participation and communication at the town, village, and district levels, which are the basic units of local self-governance, but it did not achieve its purpose. Therefore, in 2010, a special law was enacted to expand the scope of resident participation, which was a limitation of resident autonomy committees. The purpose of the Act was to establish an efficient public service system by expanding residents' participation and restoring local traditional communities. This study sought to verify the effectiveness of the neighborhood association conversion policy by comparing the sense of community in neighborhoods that were converted to neighborhood associations and those that were not converted to neighborhood associations.&#x0D; Quantitative research was used as the research method, and the research model and hypotheses were derived through theoretical discussions on major factors such as residents' self-governance capacity as an independent variable and community consciousness as a dependent variable. A survey tool was utilized to measure residents' sense of community. Questionnaires were distributed to residents visiting 44 administrative wards in Goyang-si, Gyeonggi-do, and the collected questionnaires were analyzed using SPSS version 27.0. Descriptive statistics, analysis of variance, correlation, and multiple regression analysis were performed on the collected survey responses.&#x0D; The results of the study showed that there was no statistically significant difference in the level of residents' sense of community between neighborhood councils and neighborhood committees. This suggests that the policy of converting neighborhood committees into neighborhood associations had an unexpected effect, resulting in a policy error. In order to improve the sense of community and restore traditional neighborhoods, it is necessary to increase the level of residents' ‘local attachment’, ‘local identity’, and ‘sense of fulfillment’. It is also necessary to verify the professional competence of community council members to ensure their representation. In addition, it will be possible to overcome the limitations of representative democracy by solving local problems with residents through connecting with local resources and community organizations.

Transition from physical to virtual journal club.

Objective: To determine the effectiveness of Orthopaedic virtual journal club started during COVID-19 pandemic. Study Design: Descriptive Cross sectional. Setting: Orthopaedic &amp; Traumatology Division Lady Reading Hospital Peshawar, Pakistan. Period: 6th February 2021 to 6th June 2023. Material &amp; Methods: We selected one original article which was published in Journal of Pakistan Orthopaedic Association (JPOA).The author of that article would present it in synchronous virtual journal club (VJC) on Zoom. Orthopaedic residents from all over Pakistan attended the VJC. All the residents provided feedback (on 5 point Likert scale) by answering 11 questions related to various aspects of their learning experiences which were analyzed to measure the effectiveness of VJC. Results: We conducted 12 VJC on various topics. The total number of post graduate residence who attended these VJC were 380. Final year residents were more likely to attend VJC than first year residents (p=0.02). After 12 VJC the mean resident participation was 42±1.2. We received the feedback forms of 344(90.52%) residents. The VJC was extremely convenient to vast majority (86.62%, n=298) of residents. The VJC was perceived very effective and extremely valuable by 90.11% (n=310) and 84.59% (n=291) residents respectively. Majority (90.11%, n=310) of our residents strongly agreed that VJC provided them more understanding of writing an original article. Conclusion: Our transition from physical to virtual journal club was very fruitful. Virtual Journal club was an extremely convenient, very effective and extremely valuable form of distant learning. Knowledge, attitude and skills of the residents were improved which support them in their delivery of patient care and improved patient clinical outcome. The VJC provided the residents more understanding of writing an original article.
