In this study, we focused on the decenterization, innovation, interoperability, and transparency that blockchain technology brings in the financial services sector. Decentralized financial services powered by blockchain technology can leverage virtual assets to expand the scope of financial services and create new business opportunities while encouraging innovation in financial services. Based on the understanding of the concept of De-Fi, we will look at the need for technology and major use cases, and look at future challenges. This will help us understand the vision of developing new technologies for innovation, while identifying the potential as new areas of fintech services.

Through the coronavirus pandemic, research on the use and advancement of blockchain-based decentralized identity authentication (Decentralized ID) technology is being actively conducted in various fields, centered on the central government, local governments, and private businesses. In this paper, we introduce the results of development based on Hyperledger Fabric to change the existing central server-based identity authentication to a decentralized one. These development results can strengthen the security and transparency of identity authentication systems for commercial purposes and provide stable services for user ID issuance, inquiry, and disposal. In addition, the decentralized identity authentication system verified performance results of DID creation of 262,000 rps and DID inquiry of 1,850 rps, DID VP creation of 200 rps, and DID VP inquiry of 220 rps or less through public authentication.

Chitin was extracted from crab shell by Hackman method and chitosan was prepared to chitin, that was deacetylated under various concentration of NaOH solution and reaction time at constant temperature, $100^{\circ}C$. Samples were A=19%, B=52%, C=70% and D=93% deacetylation's chitosan and they were tested. When deacetylation was increased, $\overline{Mw}$ was decreased and removal rate of suspended solid and removal rate of chemical oxygen demand were increased. Suspended solid and removal rate of chemical oxygen demand showed the better at pH 9 and pH 7 than any other pH range.

In this study, simulation and optimization works for a demethanizer column have been performed to obtain ethane and heavier products from a pretreated natural gas stream. Pretreated natural gas feed stream is partially condensed after being precooled by exchanging heat with demethanizer top vapor stream and by using an external refrigeration cycle with a propane refrigerant. Vapor stream is furtherly cooled and partially condensed through a turbo-expander and the power generated from the expansion of turbo-expander was delivered to the compressor for the residue gas compression. Liquid stream is being cooled by Joule-Thomson expansion valve and is fed to the middle section of the demethanizer. Ethane recovery percent for feed natural gas was set to 75% and methane to ethane molar ratio was fixed as 0.015. Propane refrigeration heat duty was reduced by splitting the feed stream and to exchange heat with side reboiler.

This study analyses labor transition of middle-aged and elderly in Korea utilizing Korean Longitudinal Study of Ageing(KLoSA). Then it estimates the effects of perceived job stability for the middle-aged and elderly on poverty exit based on the age group simulation. The outcomes suggest that mid-50s and over are highly vulnerable to early retirement and they suffer from unstable employment and low possibility of re-employment. The logit analysis that simulates the effects of perceived job stability on poverty exit shows that mid-50s are more likely to get off the poverty than 65 and over when they have stable jobs. These implies that labor market policies should be designed in a tailor-made manner in consideration of the age group and its characteristics. This study also suggests the introduction of progressive labor policy measures that extends retirement age, that provides with job opportunities to middle-age and elderly, and that links employment and welfare under the umbrella of income security plan for the middle-aged and elderly.

The Korean film market has revved up against American movies and the movie industry has continued to grow even though Korea is a small country. However, most production staffs who are responsible for practical business of film production get wages that fall short of the inflation rate and minimum wages as temporary employees. And there's the atmosphere that they try to leave film sites on the first opportunity. This study finds that the cause to leave film sites is attributed to perception gaps about the hardworking character and labor which occur in the process that production staffs enter the movie industry and participate in film production as well as poor surroundings. And it should establish staffs' hardworking character and recognition as workers to them by reorganizing the current curriculums which approach movies from the only artistic viewpoint in the departments related to movies and images that hold a large majority in their majors, establishing the concept of work according to participation in film production to potential production staffs, and changing their recognition to improve the elements that they leave the sites.

People tend to overestimate their emotional reactions to events such as physical handicap and buying a new car in the future. Students overestimate their reactions to a future grade as compared to their reactions after receiving the grade. Impact bias refers to people's tendency to overestimate the intensity and the duration of emotional reactions to a future event. The present study explored whether impact bias occurs to risky objects such as nuclear energy, genetically engineered food, and mobile phone. Participants were asked to predict their emotional reactions at three time points, that is, at the present, a week after, and a year after. They predicted their reactions before and after two debiasing tasks. The present study demonstrated a different pattern of impact bias at three time points: A largest bias was observed a week after the present. A defocalism manipulation has eliminated the impact bias whereas an adaptation manipulation has not. Several points were discussed regarding the difference between the previous and the present work.

Probability of technology risk is expected to increase as the post catch-up innovation, characterized by high uncertainty and high risk, would dominate in the coming era of post catchup. Social controversy on online game as a post catch-up innovation is still ongoing, though the shutdown law was enacted by the government. Socio-technical vulnerability causing technology risk paradoxically arose from the world top-level ICT infrastructures and has been reinforced by developmentalism. While both the pros and cons of the regulation fail to recognize dilemma objectively, social cost is brought about and accumulated. With recognizing dilemma between technology innovation and risks, we can tackle technology risks and ensure responsible innovation in post catch-up era.

In the catchup stages of technological development, the technology being pursued was well known. The fact that the technology is developable was known, and the fact that it should observe certain design is also known to developers. Therefore the technological and societal uncertainties have been relatively low. Comparatively, in the post-catchup stages of technological development, it is hard to predict if a certain technology is developable at all. And even though it is developable, in many cases the role models to which developers can refer to do not exist. This creates heavy uncertainties in both technological and societal regime. As a result, we need new strategical approaches to deal with the uncertainties that post-catchup technologies co-create. In this paper, we first define the core strategies of managing the techno-economic uncertainties as following: (1) how to deal with technological uncertainties, (2) how to acquire the justification and robustness of new technology. Then new conceptual frameworks to deal with those factors will be suggested.

This paper describes the results of combustion performance test of fuel-rich gas generator(GG) using LOx and kerosene as propellant at off-design conditions. The chamber pressure is thought to be a function of O/F ratio and total propellant mass flow rate. The test shows that the spatial temperature deviation at the exit of gas generator remains within 7.5K and that the average gas temperature at the exit is a function of propellant O/F ratio. The results of firing test of gas generator at off-design conditions, especially the relation between gas temperature and O/F ratio, can provide useful data for the design of future gas generator and for the development of low-O/F ratio reaction analysis code.
