Desertification in China, one of the source regions of yellow dust, has been worsen by industrialization and extreme land development, which increases the damage caused by yellow dust in Korea. Because the yellow dust from China affects not only their own country, but also neighboring countries, it is becoming an international problem, and China has been started afforestation projects to prevent excessive desertification with the help of the international community. However, it is only possible for identifying the results of afforestation projects to check afforestation result reports from National Bureau of Statistics of China, which makes it difficult to check out tangible results. Therefore, this study was conducted by using remote sensing technique for monitoring afforestation status of Yulin, shaanxi, China. in which an afforestation project has been carried out steadily. MODIS imagery was used as remote sensing data and it was confirmed that vegetation has been increased through vegetation indices from 2000 to 2014 and afforestation areas were estimated as same trend of ground reference data.

As the strategic competition between the United States and China for global hegemony intensifies, China is using economic sanctions against other countries more and more frequently. Republic of Korea, which has China as its largest trading partner but is an ally of the United States, is more likely to be a target of economic sanctions, as seen in China's retaliation toward its deployment of a THAAD missile-defense system. Against the background, this paper analyzes China's economic sanctions, especially focusing on its informality. China does not publicly declare economic sanctions in most cases, such as Korean one, in which the trade structure is in its favor and can take advantage of its position as a big buyer with huge markets. However, China responds in a more open and formal manner when it is related to its core interests, when it is impossible to exert substantial sanctions effect and when mutual disputes intensify and cannot maintain informality. Korea, which is vulnerable to China's informal economic sanctions, should prepare for them by analyzing the characteristics of China's economic sanctions in depth and thinking about various strategies and measures in advance.

This study aims to measure effects of cause-related marketing by using consumer's preference of cause-related marketing product as a dependent variable. One of main factors influence on preference of cause-related marketing product is a product type. Previous research has shown that hedonic product is more effective for cause-related marketing than utilitarian product. The result was largely explained by the logic of guilt. However, there were conflicting results. In addition, the level of guilt may vary depending on the consumer characteristics or the market environment. Therefore, this study focuses on the impact of product type on the effect of cause-related marketing. For the Korean and Chinese markets, this study examines the effect of interactions between countries and product type. The result was significant. Specifically, there was a difference in preference of cause-related marketing product between Korean and Chinese consumers by product type. Based on the findings, implications and limitations of this study and future research directions were presented.

This paper studies the influence of multinational R&D Labs' expansion motives on their business performance and the mediating effect of the level of control on this motive-performance relationship. Through an in-depth study of the relevant literature, the expansion motives can be divided into four general types. The first is called a market factor in the sense that the purpose of their expansion is to secure potential markets and customers in China. The second is called a resource factor; their purpose is to obtain excellent technology and a workforce from the country. The third is called an institution factor. An example is the case of R&D Labs advancing into China to make the best of its institutional advantages such as the government's benefits, related policies, and incentive articles. The last is called a strategic factor and indicates the case where they go into China for the purpose of competing in the market, considering it as a major strategic place. The companies' control level on their R&D Labs was measured for each item. According to the empirical analysis on the relevance of their control level and expansion motives, it turns out that giving a free hand to the Labs which pursue market, institutional, and strategic factors is more desirable than highly controlling them. This is because they should be familiar with the local business environment in consideration of those companies' objectives. In light of the mediating effects of the control level on expansion motives and business performance, the R&D Labs pursuing resource factors seem to need their headquarters' control to make the best use of the high-end technology obtained in the country. The companies pursuing strategic factors seem to hold a dominant position and perform more competitively when their headquarters control the Labs more tightly.

This study examines the mediating effect of self-directed learning between the self-leadership and academic self-efficacy of beauty major Chinese(CN) students and examines the variables affecting the academic-self-efficacy of CN students. The study aims to obtain basic data to help improve college life in foreign countries. A survey was conducted upon 440 beauty major CN students in universities across Seoul. The results of the study showed differences in self-directed learning according to the number of semesters they have been in Korea and in academic self-efficacy according to their TOPIK levels. Self-directed learning was found to have a partial mediating effect between self-leadership and academic self-efficacy of CN students. These results showed that self-leadership and self-directed learning are major predictors of the academic self-efficacy, which is further reinforced when self-leadership and self-directed learning are promoted together. These results imply that there should be preceding efforts to promote both self-leadership and self-directed learning to increase the self-efficacy of CN students majoring in beauty.

운동이론(motor theory)에 따르면 조음에 관한 정보는 말소리 지각에 중요한 역할을 한다고 한다. 조음에 관한 시각정보가 자음지각에 중요함을 시사하는 것이 바로 McGurk 효과이다. McGurk 효과는 말소리 지각에서 청각정보와 시각정보가 상충될 때 지각의 결과는 청각에 의한 조음정보와 시각에 의한 조음정보가 통합(integration)되어서 나타나는 것을 말한다. 예컨대, 시각적으로는 /ga/를 발음하는 모습을 보여주면서 동시에 청각적으로는 /ba/를 들려주면 그 결과로 /da/로 지각된다. 마찬가지로 시각적으로는 /ka/를, 청각적으로는 /ma/를 제시하면 /na/로 지각된다. 따라서 McGurk 효과는 시각적인 조음 정보가 자동적으로, 무의식적으로 말소리 지각과정에 통합됨은 보여준다. 한편 이러한 McGurk 효과는 문화마다 그 강도가 다르게 나타난다는 보고가 있다(Sekiyama, 1997). 예컨대, 일본가 중국 원어민의 경우 미국 원어민보다 McGurk 효과가 약하게 나타났다. 본 연구는 한국인에게는 McGurk 효과가 어떠한 양상으로 나타날지를 규명해 보고 아울러 기존의 미국, 일본 그리고 중국 원어민에 대한 연구결과와 비교 분석해 보았다.

Since 1966, practical use of active heavy analogs of the hormones has been also worked out as an insecticide and brought the features of it to the light as cocoon producer. On the other hand, it is expected to afford the increase of silk productivity resulted from control of the fifth larval period by delaying normal development. With these regards, some of analogs have been tried to apply practically to the silkworm for an increase of cocoon productivity. One of the synthesized juvenile hormone available is "Manina". And it is presently used for the increase of silk productivity in Korea. For the practical use, it is very essential the varietal differences in the increase of silk productivity by topical application was tested and the obtained results are summarized as follows. 1. It was evident that the fifty larval period was extended by topical application after 48 hrs. of the last ecdysis, ranging from 8 hrs. to one day, as compared to the control. 2. In pupal rates, there is no significance between control and treatments. It proved that there was no toxicity to silkworm by topical application in general, except jam 120. With regards to an increase of cocoon yield in Japanese, it was resulted from 17∼24% of cocoon yield from 10,000 larvae, as compared to that of control. In case of Chinese, the incrasing rates were varied from 15∼26% of cocoon yield, 17.8kg of it with 26% increase for Jam 122 and 16.7kg of it with 25% increase for Jam 118. In case of all hybrids, an increase of the cocoon yield took places from 20% to 31% and the weight of cocoon layer for the Japanese increased by 6 to 14%, those for the Chinese by 4 to 7% and those for the hybrids ranged from 21 to 29% increase. 3. It was recognized that the hybrid vigor rate took places with the hybrids between high responsing parents to juvenile hormones.
