This paper analyzes retailers' purchasing patterns of fruits and vegetables and the problems with purchasing from agricultural product wholesale markets. While large-scale retailers purchase fruits and vegetables from various sources, medium and small-scale retailers and food service companies buy them mostly from agricultural product wholesale markets. The retailers point out the problems with purchasing from agricultural product wholesale markets as a lack of quality uniformity, not sufficient cooling storage facilities, not sufficient space for shipping area, high distribution cost, unnecessary price fluctuation, and etc. In order to enhance the linkage with retailers, agricultural product wholesale markets, first of all, have to adopt more flexible trading methods such as private treaty besides auctions which are exclusively legitimate trading methods in the market. Necessary are enlargement of jobbers' operating scale, securing shipping space for retailers, adoption of inspection service, introduction of methods to stabilize auction prices, saving of loading and unloading costs, implementation of marketing strategies.

This study analyzes the relationships between soft dollar(brokerage commission) and characteristics of funds, and between brokerage commission and return on funds, using the data on equity funds of Korea from June 2008 to November 2011. The result confirms a statistically significant negative relationship between management & sales fees and brokerage commission, meaning that rather than raising management & sales fees, which could be easily recognized by investors, it is through brokerage commission, a hidden cost, which asset management firms indirectly compensate for their services. Meanwhile, the analysis on the relationship between brokerage commission and return on funds reveals that higher brokerage commissions lead to lower return on funds, meaning at least in short-term no contribution to increasing returns in the future. These results suggest the need for streamlining the system to alleviate conflicts of interest between investors and management firms in addition to effectively controlling for principal-agent problems.

In order to set public policy to overcome 'water crises' on both quantity and quality of water, we looked into the national-economic role of Korea water utility by two approaches. First, we examined the relationship between water consumption and economic growth during 1978-94, a period of rapid increase in water consumption caused by prompt industrialization and urbanization. The price and income elasticities of aggregate and sectoral demand for water were estimated. Second, we developed a static input-output(I-O) framework for analysing water issues in the short run. In addition, we discussed two topics in its application: i) sectoral failure(shortage) costs by supply-driven I-O model, ii) Leontief price model's sectoral pervasive effects of price due to rise in water rate. In conclusion, we found that investments to water sector and water shortage has a big influence on the standard of living and industrial production. Also we found that raising water rate to encourage conservation or to create investment funds decreases demand for water significantly but has a small influence on overall price levels.

We investigate and analyze the effect of population density on digital divide in Africa by applying the panel data analysis therein. From the estimation results based on the panel data analysis, it has been found that population density as well as both levels of income and education has a significant effect on the digital divide in African region. In particular, the fact that the variable of population density makes a significantly influential role implies that the construction cost of information infrastructure in Africa behaves such a considerable obstacle to Africa wishing to enter into information society. In conclusion, throughout the integration of the estimation results in the paper, the following implications for economic cooperation with Africa can be drawn. The estimation results mentioned above strongly imply that the variable referred to as population density should be considered in selecting which countries to assist for construction of information infrastructure.

CANDU spent fuel is to be disposed of at repository finally rather than recycled because of its low fissile nuclide concentration. But the difficult situation of finding a repository site can not help introducing a interim storage in the short term. It is required to find an optimum timing of geological disposal of CANDU spent fuels related to the interim storage operation period. The major factors for determining the disposal starting time are considered as safety, economics, and public acceptance. Safety factor is compared in terms of the decay heat and non-proliferation. Economics factor is compared from the point of the operation cost, and public acceptance factor is reviewed from the point of retrievability and inter-generation ethics. This paper recommended the best solution for the disposal starting time by analyzing the above factors. It is concluded that the optimum timing for the CANDU spent fuel disposal is around 2041 and that the sooner disposal time, the better from the point of technical and safety aspects.

기후변화의 영향으로 인하여 가뭄의 발생이 잦아지고 그 기간은 늘어나고 있다. 특히 2015년에는 충남 서부 지역에 제한급수가 실시되는 등의 피해가 발생하였으며, 올해에도 일부 지역에 가뭄 피해가 예상되고 있다. 이에 따라 가뭄에 대비하기 위한 방안의 하나로, 해수담수화 및 지하수와 같은 대체 수자원 개발의 요구가 높아지고 있다. 특히 지하수의 경우에는 단기간에 최소한의 비용으로 안전한 용수(用水)를 확보할 수 있다는 측면에서 그 효용성이 높다. 그러나 지하수 역시 지표수와 마찬가지로 한정된 자원이며 생성과정에 상당한 시일이 걸린다는 점을 고려할 때, 그 활용을 위해서는 다음과 같은 정책적 고려가 필요해 보인다. 우리나라 지하수는 개별법에 따라 5개 중앙부처 및 지자체에서 소관업무별로 관리하고 있어, 체계적 관리와 자료의 통합 연계에 어려움이 있다. 또한 기본법 성격을 지닌 "지하수법"에서도 지하수 관리 등에 대해 다른 법률에 특별한 규정이 있는 경우에는 해당 법률에 따르도록 규정하여(법 제4조), 합리적 제도 개선에 한계가 있다. "온천법" 등 타법에 의한 지하수 개발 이용관련 인허가 사항을 "지하수법"으로 일원화하여 기본법으로의 역할을 강화하고, 지역별 사업별 관리는 개별 계획을 수립하도록 하는 등 체계적인 지하수의 개발 보전 정책이 필요하다. 국내 지하수 사용은 주로 관정(管井) 개발을 통해 이루어지는데, 무분별한 신규 관정의 개발은 지하수 고갈, 지반침하(sink hole)와 더불어 지하수의 수질 악화를 야기할 수 있다. 관정 개발의 실패로 발생하는 실패공은 노후 관정 및 폐관정과 더불어 방치되는 경우가 많은데, 오염물질 유입으로 지하수를 오염시키는 주요 원인으로 작용한다. 오염된 지하수는 지표수에 비하여 수질을 복원하는데 오랜 시일과 노력이 필요하므로, 사용하지 않는 불용공(不用孔)을 원상 복구하는 등 지하수의 개발에서 사후조치에 이르기까지의 체계적인 관리가 필요하다. 국토교통부는 지하수에 대한 체계적인 관리를 위해, '지하수 기초조사', '지하수 수위변동 실태조사' 및 '지하수시설 전수조사'를 실시하고 있다. 그런데 지하수 기초조사는 "지하수법" 제5조에 근거하여 1997년부터 실시되고 있으나, 예산 및 인력 부족 등으로 20여년이 지난 지금까지도 조사가 마무리되지 못하고 있는 실정이다. 한편 지하수 수위변동 실태조사는 "지하수법" 제17조 등에 근거하여 시행되고 있는 반면, 지하수시설 전수조사는 근거 법률이 마련되어 미비하다. 지하수시설 전수조사는 전국의 모든 관정, 집수정(集水井), 지하댐(underground dam) 등의 지하수 시설을 대상으로 실시되므로, 조사의 방법, 대상, 시행 절차 및 주기 등에 대한 규정 마련을 통해 관련 자료를 지속적으로 보완 관리할 필요가 있다.

Recently, interest in programming and artificial intelligence is continuously increasing, and software education is being implemented as a mandatory education from elementary school. For efficient programming education, it is basically necessary to build a lab environment suitable for students and teachers, but there are performance problems due to the inadequacy of old computers and network equipment. Therefore, in this paper, we propose a web page-based online practice environment and algorithm competition scoring system using React and Spring boot to solve the problem of the programming practice environment. Through this, it is thought that programming learning can be carried out using only a web browser even on low-spec computers. In addition, since various programming languages can be learned irrespective of the language to be learned, it is considered that the time cost for establishing a practice environment can be reduced.
