스마트 디바이스가 사회와 소통할 수 있는 도구가 되었음에도 불구하고 아직까지 노인들이 사용하기에는 어려움이 있다. 여기에 음성인식 기술을 이용한 음성인터페이스를 활용함으로써 노인들의 스마트 디바이스에 대한 사용성을 높일 수 있다. 하지만 일반적인 음성인식 시스템은 청장년의 발성 스타일에 맞춰져 있기 때문에, 노화된 노인의 발성이 그대로 입력될 경우 음성인식률이 하락한다. 본 연구에서는 노인의 음절 별 발화속도가 일반적인 음성인식 시스템의 성능을 보증할 수 있는 범위를 벗어나는 경우가 많다는 분석 결과를 토대로 노인의 음절 별 발화속도를 조정한 결과 노인남녀 평균 음성인식률이 15.3% 상승하였다. 이처럼 노인의 음성인식 오류 원인들 중 하나인 발화속도의 재조정으로 음성 인식률을 높일 수 있는 토대를 마련하였다. 이는 노인들이 스마트 디바이스를 이용하여 쉽고 정확한 작업을 수행할 수 있게 됨으로써, 노인들의 사회 참여와 정보 획득이 용이해 지고 더 나아가 세대 간의 소통에도 이바지할 것으로 기대한다.

Analyses of export of agricultural products, so far, have not been an easy task because of the lack of direct data from exporting companies. Results obtained from indirect data are subject to criticism and have a restriction on general interpretation. This paper uses and analyzes the direct data from a chrysanthemum-exporting-company, leading to some conclusion that farms receive on average 72.3% of unit price but the share decreases by the distance to the company. Exporting farms have higher income ratio, compared to farms that sell flowers to domestic market. The analysis of unit price and cost shows that the profitability of exporting-company might be worsened if government subsidy is not in place.

This paper investigates the impact and behavior of foreign equity investment in Asian emerging economies during the 2007-2008 and the 2010-2012 global financial crises in terms of volatility and return. The empirical results indicate that foreign investors show positive feedback trading behavior in the sample countries. We find evidence that foreign investors' net selling behavior significantly increases market volatility in most countries.

기존연구에 의하면 무상증자의 공시는 공시기간 중 정(+)의 가격효과를 초래하는 것으로 나타나고 있다. 무상증자에 대한 이러한 시장의 호의적인 반응을 설명하기 위해 여러 가설이 제기되어 왔으며, 그 중 무상증자는 좋은 내부정보를 외부에 신빙성 있게 전달하는 신호기제가 될 수 있다는 신호가설이 특히 지지를 받고 있다. 그런데 짧은 공시기간 중의 정(+)의 주가반응만을 보고 신호가설이 지지된다고 단정짓는데는 무리가 있다. 본 연구에서는 과연 신호가설이 주장하는 것처럼 무상증자가 사업기회의 확대, 미래현금흐름의 증대, 추후 차입여력의 증대를 가져오는가를 더 면밀히 검증하기 위하여 무상증자 실시기업의 장기성과를 조사하였다. 본 연구의 특징은 (1)공시기간 이후의 1년 이내의 기간에 중점을 둔 대부분의 기존연구와 달리 증자 후 36개월간의 장기성과를 측정하였으며, (2)주가수익률 자료와 회계자료를 동시에 이용하여 장기성과를 조사하였고, (3)장기 초과수익률 측정과 검증에 있어 통계적 오류가 있는 누적초과수익률(CAR)을 보완하기 위해 매입보유초과수익률(BHAR)을 사용했으며, 이를 위해 엄격한 기준을 적용하여 표본기업과 비교기업을 선정하였다는 데 있다. 실증분석 결과 신호가설을 지지하는 증거는 발견하지 못하였으며 오히려 무상증자 실시기업이 시장평균 또는 비교기업인 비증자기업에 비해 장기적으로 주가수익률 및 영업성과에 있어 저성과를 보이는 증거를 상당 수 발견하였다. 구체적으로 동일가중평균수익률로 조정한 보유기간 초과수익률의 경우 증자 후 1개월에서 24개윌까지의 BHAR이 5% 미만 수준에서 부(-)의 값을 보였으며, 비모수통계치를 사용할 경우 $1{\sim}36$개월까지의 전기간에서 유의한 부(-)의 저성과를 보이고 있다. 또한 영업성과면에서도 증자기업이 비증자기업에 비해 증자 후 수익성과 현금흐름이 저조하게 나타나고 있다.해 현물시장의 수익률, 변동성이 높은 것으로 나타났으나, 변경후에는 현물시장에 비해 선물시장의 수익률 변동성이 높은 것으로 나타났다. VAR 분석에 의하면 변경후가 변경전에 비하여 선물이 현물을 선도하는 시차가 다소 커진 것으로 나타나 현물시장과 선물시장이 동시에 가격제한폭 확대후에 비효율적으로 되었다는 의미로 판단된다.기간에서는 선물의 15분 선도효과와 현물의 1분 선도효과가 발견되어 선물의 선도효과가 지배적임을 발견하였다.적 일정하게 하는 소비행동을 목표로 삼고 소비와 투자에 대한 의사결정을 내리고 있음이 실증분석을 통하여 밝혀졌다. 투자자들은 무위험 자산과 위험성 자산을 동시에 고려하여 포트폴리오를 구성하는 투자활동을 행동에 옮기고 있다.서, Loser포트폴리오를 매수보유하는 반전거래전략이 Winner포트폴리오를 매수보유하는 계속거래전략보다 적합한 전략임을 알 수 있었다. 다섯째, Loser포트폴리오와 Winner포트폴리오를 각각 투자대상종목으로써 매수보유한 반전거래전략과 계속거래 전략에 대한 유용성을 비교검증한 Loser포트폴리오와 Winner포트폴리오 각각의 1개월 평균초과수익률에 의하면, 반전거래전략의 Loser포트폴리오가 계속거래전략의 Winner포트폴리오보다 약 5배정도의 높은 1개월 평균초과수익률을 실현하였고, 반전거래전략의 유용성을 충분히 발휘하기 위하여 장단기의 투자기간을 설정할 경우에 6개월에서 36개월로 이동함에 따라 6개월부터 24개월까지는 초과수익률이 상승하지만, 이후로는 감소하므로, 반전거래전략을 활용하는 경우 주식투자기간은 24개월이하의 중단기가 적합함을 발견하였다. 이상의 행태적 측면과 투자성과측면의 실증결과를 통하여 한국주식시장에 있어서 시장수익률을 평균적으로 초과할 수 있는 거래전략은 존재하므로 이러한 전략을 개발 및 활용할 수 있으며, 특히, 한국주식시장에 적합한 거래전략은 반전거래전략이고, 이 전략의 유용성은

The epidemiological relationship between the current prevalence and monthly reinfection rate of Ascaris lumbricoides was observed in rural communities in Korea by means of blanket mass chemotherapy and worm collection for measurement of the prevalence and reinfection rates. During the period from 1975 to 1980, a total of 4,466 inhabitants in 10 different localities were treated with 10 mg/kg of pyrantel pamoate and 2 days' whole stools were collected from 2,547 inhabitants. The stools were examined for the presence of expelled adult and/or young worms, which represent the prevalence and reinfection rates for past 2 months respectively. After then, the obtained rates were correlated each other applying the timeprevalence curve proposed by Hayashi. It was observed that the prevalence (overall worm positive rate) and worm burden per individual ranged by areas from 13. 6 to 72. 3% and 1.4~10. 2 respectively. The calculated monthly reinfection rates (X) (from young worm positive rates) according to areas were in the range, 2.6~16.2%, and clearly correlated with the current prevalence (Y) under the equation, $Y=1-(l-X)^{7.2}$ where 7.2 is time in month. The equation means that after one time mass chemotherapy the period needed to attain equilibrium of prevalence again would be about 7~8 months. And it is inferred that the majority of reinfected worms in human host turn over every 7~8 months.

This paper analyzed the effects of changes in temporary workers on firm performances, and the effects of different workforce portions of business functions on corporate performances, respectively, using Korean venture business survey conduected in 2013. Results show that the performance of venture businesses decreases significantly, as the portion of temporary workers increases, which is more pronounced in small companies than in medium companies. In addition, the portions of workforce for administration, R&D, production, and sales don't have uniform effect on firm performance, where medium companies are affected significantly by the portions of production and sales, while small companies do not show significant relationship. This analysis implies that innovative firms, based on knowledge workers, need to use caution when they plan to increase temporary workers, which may lead to lower performance. However, we need further research for the basic causes of the possible lower performance.

This study analyzed how alternative investment goods would affect a market in a neighboring shopping area in order to provide parties involved in the investment market of this neighboring shopping area with standards which would help them when they try to make a reasonable determination. The study estimated forms and explanation power of the effects of a bid rate of a neighboring shopping area, and came up with those results as follows. Increases in the representative macro economic indicators, the composite stock price index and the fluctuation rate of land price, including the real estate business would have a positive influence on the market of the neighboring shopping area as playing a circumstantial evidence of market recovery and yet, the increase in interest rate, the alternative investment goods, would reduce the relative price-earnings ratio which would, eventually, negatively affect the charm of the investment in the market of the neighboring shopping area. The study, now, understands that housing with a feature of consumers' goods and neighboring shopping area with a feature of investment goods would not have great concern with each other as they are observed to be two different markets from an aspect of interactionism.

Analysing the effects of expanded trade liberalization on the domestic labor market such as the flexibility of employment adjustment and the wage elasticity of employment etc. with industry base data, we get some important results as follows. The speed of employment adjustment in whole industries is turned out to be more rapid on the employee basis than on the whole worker basis. And the speed of employment adjustment is more rapid in the industries with high level of import ratio than those with high level of export ratio. In sum, viewing on the employee basis, the expanded trade liberalization makes the speed of employment adjustment slower slightly in individual industry level, and it is led mainly by the effects of export ratio rising. In case of the wage elasticity of employment, it becomes to be much higher as rates of openness or export ratios go higher, so the environment of jobless growth seems to be much more strengthened in this country.

This paper investigates the effects of inflation on real estate prices, particularly the discrepancy between the sales and chonsei prices of housing, in an economy in which real interest rates are secularly declining due to the fall in capital productivity. When real interest rates fall, real estate prices rise relative to chonsei prices, and thus the well-known adverse effect of inflation, or the discrepancy between the value of financial assets (or chonsei principal) and the value of real assets (or real estate), is aggravated although the monetary authority maintains the same rate of inflation. This theoretical prediction can help explain the trend of the ratio of apartment sales prices to chonsei prices. That is, the stabilization of inflation relative to real interest rates appears to have contributed to the secular stabilization of this ratio in the 1990s, while the fall in real interest rates appears to have led to the rise of this ratio since 2001.
