Purpose: Food environmental factors related to food insecurity affect household food intake in several socio-ecological aspects. This study explores the relationship between food environment factors and food insecurity in households with married immigrant women. Methods: From November 2018 to February 2020, a survey was conducted enrolling 249 married immigrant women residing in the metropolitan areas of South Korea. In the final analysis, 229 subjects were divided into 2 groups classified as food security (n = 154) and food insecurity (n = 75), as assessed by the score of food security. Three aspects of food environments were measured: built·natural, political·economic, and socio-cultural Results: Food environments were significantly different between food security and food insecurity groups, as follows: the number of foods market and their distance from the home and food status for the last week at home in the built·natural domain; monthly cost of food purchase and experience for food assistance in the political·economic domain; total score of social support, parenting, and cooking skills in the socio-cultural domain. A stepwise multivariate linear regression model showed a negative association between the food insecurity score with social support from family and food inventory status in the last week. After adjusting for confounders, a positive association was obtained between the experience of a food support program. The final regression model explains about 30% of the relationship obtained in the three food environment domains and food insecurity (p < 0.001). Conclusion: Not only economic factors, which are common determinants of household food insecurity, but socio-cultural factors such as social support also affect household food insecurity. Therefore, plans for implementing a food assistance program to improve food insecurity for households with immigrant women should consider financial support as well as other comprehensive aspects, including socio-cultural domain such as social support from family and community.

전기요금수준과 요금체계는 산업의 생산비와 가계의 소비생활패턴에 직접적인 영향을 미쳐, 생산활동 산업구조 소비형태에 변화를 초래한다. 또한 적정요금의 부과는 미래의 전력수요에 부응하는 전원개발의 비용확보와 이를 통한 전력수급 안정에 필수적인 사항이다. 전기요금체계가 경제적으로 효율적인 한계비용방식으로 장기적으로 전환되겠지만 이에는 상당한 시간이 필요하다고 예상되므로, 본 논문에서는 현재 한전이 택하고 있는 평균비용방식에 의거한 용도별 요금체계의 문제점을 지적하고 중단기적 개선방안을 제시한다. 현재 용도별 요금에서의 문제점을 지적하자면, 일반용요금은 평균비용에 비해 과다하게 높은 데 반해 농사용요금은 과다하게 낮다. 또한 일반용에서 계시별 구분을 적용받는 소비자가 너무 적으며 선택요금이 다양하지 못하다는 문제점이 있다. 주택용요금은 평균비용과 상당한 괴리가 있으며, 현재의 7단계분류는 보통 외국의 3단계 분류에 비해 복잡하며 단계별 누진율이 과다하게 높다. 주택용의 기본요금과 전력량요금이 모두 누진적이나 이에 대한 경제적 논거가 약하다. 전기요금의 중단기적 개선의 기본방향은 한계요금체계에의 근접화, 정책적 왜곡의 최소화, 수요관리 요금체계의 강화로 정리될 수 있다. 현재의 전기요금체계는 산업정책 소득정책 정치적 선택 등 정책적 요소를 혼용하고 있는데, 정부의 경제개입이 줄어드는 추세에 맞추어 전기가 필수재라는 요소 이외의 정책적 요소는 사라져야 한다. 또한 전기가 피크기의 수요에 맞추어 용량을 확보해야 하는 특성을 가지고 있으므로 피크기의 수요관리는 설비비용의 절약으로 소비자 모두에게 혜택을 줄 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 위의 기본방향을 기반으로 하여 구체적 개선방안으로 산업용 일반용 교육용의 전압별 통합, 산업용 일반용의 선택요금 및 차등폭 확대, 요금의 비용 근접화, 농사용내의 구분 단일화, 주택용의 체계 단순화, 누진율의 대폭 완화, 하계수요관리 요금의 도입, 계시별 차등요금시간대 단순화를 제안한다. 이러한 개선방안은 현재의 전기요금체계를 경제학적 논리기반에 근접화시키고 좀도 효율화 합리화시킬 수 있을 것이다.

The purpose of this paper is to suggest to tackle the problem of poor cooperation in space activities, by re-examining the nature of the competitive political environment, and by building up a normative overarching framework, One of the most acute problems that hampers regional cooperation is the U.S. influence as represented in the MTCR, a supplier's cartel, as was evidenced in the ill-fate of the 2001 launch contract between China and Korea the next year. Notably China, the third space power in the world, has not been allowed to join the MTCR despite her application in June 2004. A possible reconciliation between China and the MTCR over her application for a partnership would set a cornerstone in building up a cooperative environment in the Northeast Asia. Just as the Helsinki process was an overarching norm building framework, comprising human rights, security and environmental issues, it would be desirable that a future peace framework in Northeast Asia dealing with the pending issues of Korean peninsula should also comprise of such broad issues as one relating to cooperation in space activities in the region. South Korea could tap expertise from her neighbor China. When South Korea become an independent space power either with her own technology or otherwise, she would be in a better position to play a role as a balancer in coordinating between the two neighboring space giants. It is remarkable that the Japanese led APRSAT has contributed much in establishing Sentinel Asia as a part of the Disaster Management Scheme, in that each participant, whether it be a state agency, or a private entity like a university or a research institute, can tap the common data to contribute to the common good of safety.

Because most of feminist researches on the media have been primarily concerned with women's roles and representations in main scream mass media, women's media as alternative media remain remarkably understudied. Thus this study explores women's media in relation to women's movement during the period of US military Government in Korea. There were five women's newspapers which were means of women's movement in this period. However, failing to attract enough appropriate revenues and resort to fund-raising, women's newspapers could nor be published a long time. And women's newspapers as means of women's movement had the defects in women's representations because women's movement lacked a certain degree of autonomy from the male-dominated political activities. In other words, women's newspapers maintained women's participation in political areas, but on the other hand they emphasized the women's role as mother and housewife.

The purpose of this article by looking into the international commercial arbitration system of China is to provide solutions regarding commercial disputes that may occur in trade between China and Korea. For the research, literature review based on the Chinese Arbitration Law and CIETAC Arbitration Rules was employed. According to the research, the arbitration system of China applies partially differentiated legislation between domestic and international arbitration rules, unaccepting any ad-hoc arbitration, a limitation to the party autonomy, a deficiency of independence given to the arbitral institution, the participation of jurisdiction on arbitration is severe and it brings hardships in the execution of arbitral award. Beside these, in China's arbitral institution the jurisdiction directly progresses adjustments during the arbitration procedure and the following result is written as the award. Thus, the research is expected to provide legal and practical solutions to the commercial dispute with Chinese companies by looking into the main contents of legislations of the international commercial arbitration system in China.

Although Wangfu's Tian-Ren relations theory could not be free from the influence of the religious understanding of the Yinyangwuxing theory, which was prevalent in the times of two Hans, due to the limitations of the times, it refers to human status and capabilities here and there of the "Qianfulun" and traces of attempts to enhance humans' ability to preside and attempts to dilute the powers of Tian(heaven) and God can be found. In addition, the fact that the theory shifted the focus of the administration and politics of the state from Tian(heaven) to the people can be also said to be highly worthwhile. Of course, when seen from philosophical, political, social, and economic perspectives, Wangfu's primary concern can be said to have been the stabilization of people's livelihood. The influence and contribution of Wangfu's ?Qianfulun? as such on the aspects of political and philosophical thoughts in the society at the time can be said to be comparable to those of Wangchong. Although there are the limitations of the situations of the times faced by Wangfu that made him unable to surpass the standardized paradigm of the Tian-Ren response theory, when seen from other perspectives, the fact that he severely criticized the confused social conditions at that time unlike other intellectuals in the confused situations at the end of the East Han Dynasty period can be said to be worth affirmation. The fact that Wangfu, who tried to work on the basis, the stabilization of the people's livelihood, concentrated most of his energy on overcoming the situation of national internal and external troubles such as breaking down the bad customs of operating the national administration by religious notions such as natural calamity or superstition instead of trying to solve the problems of the times from the academic and ideological aspects as with Wangchong can be also said to be valuable in itself. In addition, Wangfu naturally became to take the lead in breaking down deeply superstitious notions such as the Yinyangwuxing theory and the Chanwei theory while he was conducting studies on how practical problems could be overcome facing the situations in the turbulent period.

As geopolitical, archaeological and strategic interests on cooperation with countries in the Far Eastern Area is gradually increased, countries are competing to attract or install a logistics or manufacturing hub in their countries. In this study, we investigated the relative importance of factors on the main three and nine detailed criteria from the domestic and overseas experts on Far Eastern Area. Using AHP(Analytic Hierarchy Process) analysis, priority importance of factors was derived. As a result, we find that the most important factor was economic factor. In detail, industrial complex creation was the highest factor and the institutional guarantees for the investment on policy and transportation network was second highest factor. Based on analysis result, specific competitiveness level in the 10 region of Far East was follows. Hunchun, Vladivostok, Yanji, Tumen, Rajin, Hassan, Ussuriysk, Cheongjin, Mihaylov Skiing, Nije Jeuchinski were showed in order. Hunchun showed the highest competitive level in location, topography, compliance to the around cities, transportation network, industrial complex, excellence in logistics facilities, long-term investment plans, institutional guarantees for investment, customs efficiency and political stability. However, in other factors such as population and number of households, public facilities, potential demand and resource utilization, Vladivostok showed the highest level.

전력계통 규모가 대형화, 복잡화됨에 따라 전력계통의 안정적 운용과 양질의 전력공급을 보장하기 위해 EMS(Energy Management System)를 사용, 에너지 시스템 운용에 있어 안정적, 효과적 제어를 기하고 있다. 그러나 전력감시제어설비(SCADA)로부터의 실시간 데이터 누락, 또는 측정데이터의 오류가 발생할 경우 시스템상의 가관측성이 확보되지 않게 되어 상태추정이 불가능 할 수 있다. 이에 상태추정의 가관측성을 제공하기 위해 현재 한국형 EMS (K-EMS : Korea Energy Management System)의 응용프로그램 중 하나인 BLF(Bus Load distribution Factor) 산정 프로그램을 개발중에 있으며, 본 논문에서는 BLF 산정 프로그램을 통한 가관측성 확보방안과 프로그램에 대한 알고리즘에 대해 설명하고자 한다.
