The Korea Ministry of Education, Science and Technology (MEST) determines admission quota of cyber universities. MEST's decision is made based on each university's physical and administrative capacity for handling admission numbers. However, the unique characteristics of cyber universities (e.g., online teaching and learning environments) are not considered in MEST's current decision process. MEST also lacks specifics in their policies that are required to ensure university's autonomous control for admission number as well as learners' rights and quality assurance. This study intended to improve decision making process on admission quota of cyber universities so as to increase quality assurance of education. The alternative admission quota decision frameworks have been formulated based on (a) the analysis of the current practices of cyber universities, (b) focus group interviews, and (c) recommendations of the expert.

The study aims to investigate the determinant factors in the organisation of a firm's innovative activities, and the impact of innovation capability on firm's performance of electronic firms in Ho Chi Minh city, Vietnam. How is the performance of electronic companies after delivering an innovation project? How will innovation capability affect firm's performance in electronic companies? This study aims to seek the answer of these questions. We employ a Structural Equation Model and the PLS technique in order to validate the theoretical model proposed in this study. With observation of 374 valid firms, based on Cronbach's Alpha analysis, EFA analysis, CFA analysis and SEM analysis, this study discovers 5 groups of factors including: (i) Institution factors; (ii) Attitude of leadership factors; (iii) Marketing factors; (iv) Technological resources factors; (v) Combination factors, which have direct impact on innovation capability of firms. There are 4 groups of factors that have positive impacts on financial performance of electronic firms, with descending order of importance as follows: (1) Attitude of leadership factors; (2) Quality of human resources factors; (3) Innovation capability; (4) Marketing activities factors. Research results are important implications for Government administrative agencies for business to consult and introduce effective support policies.

Wetlands provide vital habitats for fish and wildlife while offering numerous other benefits. As in some other countries, however, Taiwan has witnessed the loss of a significant portion of its coastal wetlands due to large-scale reclamation projects along the coast. Most of the wetlands that still remain are seriously being threatened by both human activities and natural changes, such as drainage for agricultural production, filling for industrial development, discharge of wastes and drought. The administrative performance of the existing authorities and legislation in Taiwan has mostly been ineffective in protecting these precious, sensitive areas. This paper introduces the distribution of wetlands in Taiwan and highlights their invaluable functions and potential economic value. It also discussed the recent activities, both initiated by the government and the NGOs, to protect wetlands in Taiwan. Based on the above discussion, the paper identifies the wide-range of current problems related to their management and proposes the vision should have to save wetlands for the future. It argues that establishing clear policies and effective institutional mechanisms on wetland protection and conservation, classifying the wetlands for better management, and fully promoting public awareness and consciousness of the importance of the wetlands will not only be beneficial but will also address the urgent need to safeguard the wetlands in Taiwan. Additionally, the paper recognizes that international cooperation and collaboration on wetland restoration is essential and most challenging.

This papaer discusses the recent tendencies of health approach in the developed countries and suggests the strategy of health approach in order to cope with the changing environmental conditions of Korea in 2000's. In 2000's, Korea will have the environmental conditions and health problems similar to those of the developed countries at present. The American and European developed countries have shown the integrative approach trend by the interdisciplinary cooperation based on the holistic health conception, for example, as in the behavioral medicine, with the active drive of the medical self care movement and the national health preactice movement. The basic solution to the 2000's main health problems such as high morbidity of chronic diseases and high medical expenditure is to decrease the health need through the health promotion, disease prevention and early. ditection and early treatment of disease. The above actions need to induce the public to change their health behavior in the desirable direction through the national health practice movement and the health self care movement. The succeed of the movements depends upon how to use effectively the mass media, health and administrative organizations, schools, industrial and medical insurance organizations with the strong government support of health and preventive policies and programs.

Background: This study purposed to analyze regional factors related to gastric cancer screening rate provided by national cancer screening program in Korea. Methods: The unit of analysis was administrative districts of si gun gu level. Dependent variable was regional gastric cancer screening rate provided by national cancer screening program, and regional variables were selected to represent the regional characteristics such as demographic, health behavior and status, socioeconomic, and health resource. Tobit regression was applied for the analysis. Results: Analysis results showed that gastric cancer screening rate was varied depending on regions from 47.8% to 69.1%. Tobit regression showed that gastric cancer screening rate had negative relationships with smoking rate, financial independence rate, and National Health Insurance premium per capita. And regional gastric cancer screening rate had positive relationships with sex ratio and number of gastric cancer screening center. Conclusion: Regional characteristics should be considered in establishing regional policies for increasing the gastric cancer screening rate.

This study clarified the fact that the existing 'manpower supply and demand plans', preceding studies, theoretical researches of the past cannot satisfy the multi-goals of organizations, instead, the existing plans focused on only the number of customers and total amount of service. Next, a necessity of more proper manpower plans that consider comprehensive goals of the organizations is suggested then, this study tried to make the countermeasures. As for studying methods, a priority sequence in the organizations' manpower management's goals is set by AHP(Analytic Hierarchy Process), a business administrative scientific skill. Proper manpower policies of the food service enterprises, which satisfy the organizations' multi-goals, are established by GP(Goal Programming). Based on it, mid and short term 'manpower supply and demand plans' are established. For the purpose of increasing the study's efficiency, example studies are conducted in one family restaurant. The limit of this study is that inner personnel management details such as promotion, new personnel appointments, unemployment, retirement were not considerately considered. Therefore, the future studies should think over those limits and research the labor-force supply from the outside also.

Delegation is one of important security policies in the access control area. We propose a management model of delegation integrated with ARBAC model for environment of distributed access control. We Integrate PBDM delegation model with ARBAC97 model, and suggest integrity rules of delegation for preventing security threats in new model. Our model supports both free delegation for users without intervention of administrators, and controlling delegation for security administrators.

Objectives : The purpose of this study was to evaluate the productivity changes of 18 public health centers in Gangwon-do from 2006 to 2013 using the Malmquist Productivity Index(MPI). Methods : Data were collected from Statistics Korea from 2006 to 2013. The input variables were the numbers of medical, nursing and administrative personnels. The output variables were the performances of health promotion programs. Along with the traditional input-oriented DEA analysis, the MPI was calculated. Results : First, among the 18 public health centers, the productivity index of 14 public health centers was increased. Second, the annual productivity showed a 6% increase. Third, the productivity improvements were mainly caused by Scale Efficiency Change. Conclusions : Improving the productivity of public health centers requires the support and external policies of the national and local government. Internally, public health centers need to maintain scale optimization of the center. Additionally, efforts should be made to effectively use limited resources.

Background: Occupational accidents occur for a variety of reasons, such as unsafe behaviors of workers and insufficient safety equipment at the workplace, but there are also various economic and social factors that can impact working conditions and working environment. This study analyzed the relationship between changes in economic factors and the occurrence of occupational accidents in Korea. Methods: Multilinear regression analysis was used as the analysis model. The general to specific method was also used, which consecutively removes statistically insignificant variables from a general model that includes dependent variables and lagged variables of dependent variables. Results: The frequency of occupational accidents was found to have a statistically significant relationship to economic indicators. The monthly number of cases of occupational injury and disease and fatal occupational injuries were found to be closely related to manufacturing capacity utilization, differences in the production index in the services sector, and commencements of building construction. The increase in equipment investment indicators was found to reduce fatal occupational injuries. Conclusion: The results of this study may be used to develop occupational accident trends or leading indicators, which in turn can be used by organizations that manage and monitor occupational accidents toward taking administrative action designed to reduce occupational accidents. The results also imply that short-term and mid- to long-term economic and social changes that can impact workers, workplaces and working conditions, and workplace organizations must be taken into account if more effective government policies are to be established and implemented toward further prevention of occupational accidents.
