The purpose of this study is to analyze the economic feasibility of technology developed by the National Institute of Animal Science used to shorten the raising term of Hanwoo cattle. This technology can address the increasing proportion of feed cost to operating expenses in the industry. The technology maintains quality by high nutrition breeding during the growing period while shortening the fattening period compared to conventional methods for castrated cattle. Our analysis employs the partial budget method, and results are as follows. First, we found that the ratio of shipment in age of less than 29 months has been increasing. Second, the statistical test finds that both the reduction in age of the months for shipment and the increase in dressed weight annually are significant. Third, the benefit of introducing the technology with the self-manufactured TMR accounts for 467,990 won per head/time. This result is strong evidence for prioritizing and extending pilot projects. In order to further expand this technology in the future, problems, limitations, and obstacles to introduction should be additionally disclosed for participating and non-participating farms after conducting the pilot project.

This study was carried out to investigate the reproductive performance of average (less than 10,000 liters milk in 305 days) and high yielding (more than 10,000 liters milk in 305 days) Holstein cattle at commercial dairy herds (n=22). Data on milk progesterone (10 to 60 days postpartum), days to post-partum estrous, days to post-partum conception, service per conception and calving interval were recorded for two consecutive years. Post-partum milk progesterone concentration and days to reach peak milk progesterone concentration were similar in high and average yielding cows. High yielding cows took more days to show signs of first postpartum estrous than average yielding cows. Post-partum conception was 20 days earlier in average yielding cows than high yielding cows. Artificial insemination per conception was similar between average and high yielding cows. Calving interval was 26.9 days longer in high yielding cows compared to average yielding cows. In conclusion, better reproductive and feeding management may help improve the reproductive performance of high yielding dairy cattle in commercial dairy farms.

This study aimed to investigate the relationship between the general characteristics of adolescents and their mental health in relation to experiences of heavy drinking. The research utilized raw data from the 18th Youth Health Behavior Online Survey (2022), focusing on 530 participants who reported experiencing heavy drinking in the past 30 days. The study applied weighted composite sample analysis, incorporating frequency, chi-square test, and logistic regression to examine the data. According to the research findings, experiences of heavy drinking showed statistically significant differences across variables such as gender, academic achievement, economic status, sexual experience, and smoking. Additionally, among the mental health characteristics, stress perception, depression, loneliness, suicidal thoughts, suicide planning, and suicide attempts were identified as influencing factors on heavy drinking experiences. These results underscore the need for prevention programs addressing alcohol consumption habits, considering the mental and physical health of adolescents. Developing programs that take into account the relationship between mental health and drinking habits can contribute to forming healthy lifestyle habits during adolescence.

This article analyzes film performances in the Korean movie market utilizing three-stage models that incorporate available information in three different stages of the movie life cycle, i.e., at the time of its release, at the end of the first week, and at the end of its life cycle. Based on the premise that the performance of a movie is affected principally by factors of scale, evaluation, and competition, we attempted to ascertain the effects on these factors on performances, and how they differ in different stages. Also, by analyzing domestic and foreign movies released in Korea separately, we were able to compare the different effects of the three factors on the performances of the two categories of movies. Additionally, our movie performance models incorporated herding behavior among the customers. Our results demonstrate that herding is prominently observed after the first week only for domestic movies. In general, the scale factor has been shown to be most important for movie performances in all stages. For foreign films, it is particularly critical for the first week and total performances. Whereas the evaluation factor influences domestic film performance more strongly at the screen choice stage, it affects the performance of foreign films more strongly in the later stages of the life cycle. As compared to foreign films, domestic film performance appears to be more sensitive to the competition factor. We also discuss the effects of covariates such as genre and symbolicity on movie performance.

This study aims to empirically investigate the effects of the individual-level characteristics on their timing decisions for their enlistments even though military services are their duties under a draft system. The individual characteristics considered include five psychological factors, such as attitude, uncertainty, information search level, future expectation, and perceived risk towards army, and other several demographic variables. Measurement scales for these psychological variables are developed and a duration model for individuals' enrollment timing decisions is also proposed. The proposed model is fitted to a survey data set collected from both those who have completed military service and those who have not. The estimation results show that two of five psychological variables, negative attitude and perceived risk, and several demographic variables, including education level, income level, residence area, and the number of family members serving the army, have meaningful impacts on the timing decisions for military service. Specifically, the enlistment timings are found to be more delayed as negative attitude towards army is stronger, perceived risk on army is higher, education level is higher, academic performance is better, income level is either low or high, residence area is either Seoul or big cities, and the proportion of family members enlisted is smaller. Several important managerial implications for alleviating problems resulting from enrollment postponements are also discussed.

The purpose of this study was to explore sexual behaviors among adolescents in multicultural families in Korea. The data were obtained from the 15th Korea Youth Risk Behavior Survey 2019. Complex-sample descriptive statistics and the chi-square test were used for data analysis in SPSS 25. Among adolescents in multicultural families, 8.2% reported having sexual experience. Condoms were the most commonly used contraceptive method, and most adolescents received sex education at school. Their likelihood of sexual experience differed according to grade, academic achievement, economic status, residential area, perceived stress, and drinking and smoking experience (p<.001). The results of this study suggest that sex education should be conducted with appropriate consideration of the important factors associated with adolescents in multicultural families.

Today's professional sports teams are in a highly competitive environment with no prospects in sight. A that was considered the favorite to win a championship can suffer from a severe slump, a team that was expected to be at the bottom can achieve victory. This unexpected situation is continuing to repeat. It is also a sign of the need to look at the use of human resources and strategies in the sports industry. Accordingly, this study looks at Daegu FC soccer team, Korea's first team for citizens. A case study on human resources innovation was done. This study introduces an argument for ordinary resources (AOR) from Frey et al. (2015) for a theoretical review and a case analysis of domestic professional football. This study determines the direction of how Daegu FC should proceed. The results of the research are as follows: first, the success of harmonizing strategic and mundane resources, and second, belief in coaches. The main contribution of this research is that it presents the importance of human resources, which is one of basic tactics that sports teams should utilize. In the sports industry, where the temporality is underlined for its clear beginning and ending, teams are more likely to use diverse sports tactics to obtain superior grades, which enriches the basis of their tactics.

최근의 화물자동차파업사태 등으로 우리나라 물류체계의 경쟁력제고를 위한 여러 가지 논의가 진행되고 있다. 그 중에서도 환경친화적이며, 사회적 비용이 저렴한 철도화물의 수송분담율을 높여야 한다는 의견이 많이 나오고 있다. 우리나라 물류체계의 근본적인 문제점은 도로운송량의 증가보다 트럭의 공급과잉으로 트럭운송사업자의 수익은 매우 낮고, 철도, 해운 등 대량운송수단의 분담율이 낮아 전체적인 수송효율성이 낮은 것을 들 수 있다. 이러한 문제점의 해결은 트럭의 과잉공급을 억제하고, 제조업 물류비 중 46.5%를 점하고 있는 운송비용을 절감하는 것이 핵심적인 방안이라고 하겠다. 이에 본 논문에서는 철도화물의 활성화와 우리나라의 철도구조개혁의 성공적인 추진을 위해서 우리와 지형조건이 비슷하고, 1987년에 철도민영화를 시행하여 현재 16년이 경과한 일본철도화물의 현황을 분석하여, 현재까지의 문제점을 밝히고 또한 우리나라의 철도화물수송정책에 시사하는 바를 정리해 보았다. 1987년 민영화 이후 일본철도화물수송현황을 보면 영업거리, 화차대수를 포함한 수송능력 감소로 수송량은 감소하였으나, 화물수송의 장거리와 추세와 컨테이너수송량의 증가, 인력감축으로 영업성적은 전반적으로 향상되고 있다. 문제점으로는 경영면에서는 낮은 생산성 그리고 노후장비 등으로 인한 높은 설비투자비지출, 선로사용료 등의 부담 등이 지적되었다. 운영상에서는 현재 선로를 소유하지 못하여 네트워크가 부족하여 자유로운 열차편성이 어렵고, 포워더 기능이 없어 현재 전체물량의 85%를 점하는 소운송구간에서 다른 운송주체간의 수송으로 일관수송서비스에 어려움이 있으며, 직접적인 영업을 하지 못하여, 새로운 수요창출에 어려움이 있다. 이러한 문제점의 해결책으로는 먼저 정부의 인프라에 명확한 책임분담과 이에 따른 지원이 필요하다. 이와 같은 철도화물활성화의 정책수립필요성의 배경에는 철도화물수송이 효율성과 환경친화성, 높은 안전성 등 사회적 비용을 감소시키는 장점을 가지고 때문이다. 철도화물운송회사도 현재의 수송기능과 함께 포워더로서의 기능을 가져야 할 것이며, 운임인하노력과 속도향상을 위한 노력을 계속하여야 할 것이다.

In this study, an e-portfolio system was constructed and utilized to communicate with students, while processing the overall procedure of teaching-learning activities as data for qualitative improvement in the non-face-to-face educational environment. The e-portfolio system was designed to support the entire process of reflection from the instructor's lesson planning, regular checking of the learner's understanding during the course operation process, online communication, and support for learner-centered educational activities. Analyzing the effectiveness of the communication-based learning effect between instructors and learners using the e-portfolio in liberal arts programming classes, which may be difficult for non-major students, a significant correlation was found in problem-solving skills, and midterm and final exams. Additionally, the result of analyzing the expanded applicability of e-portfolio satisfaction demonstrated a significant correlation with the students' computational thinking ability, test results, assignments, and academic performance. It was found to have a significant effect on the improvement of computational thinking ability. If non-face-to-face education is conducted using the proposed e-portfolio system type, it will be possible to improve the quality of online education, while communicating effectively with students.
