The 2020 US Presidential Election was a highly-anticipated moment for our global society. During the election period, the most intriguing issue was who would be the winner-Trump or Biden? Among the possible main themes of the 2020 election, from the COVID-19 pandemic to racism, this study focused on feminism ('women') as a main component of Biden's victory. To explore the character of Biden's supporters, this paper focused on internet spaces as a source of public opinion. To guide the data analysis, this study employed four indices from empirical studies on Big Data analytics: issue salience, attention diversity, emotional mentioning, and semantic cohesion. The main finding of this study was that the representative keyword 'women' appeared more prevalently within content related to Biden than Trump, and the keyword pairs indicated that female voters were the main reason for Trump's failure but the root cause of Biden's victory. The results of this study indicated the role of the internet as a forum for public opinion and a fountain of political knowledge, which requires more rigorous investigation by researchers.

US Northeast Asia Policy will show the following changes and continuities with the transition from the Trump administration to the Biden administration. As the Biden administration adheres to traditional principles and norms of US foreign policy, there will be more stability and predictability. The US-China confrontation is likely to become more serious, as President Biden will continue the hawkish China policy Trump initiated. Regarding North Korea, the Biden administration is expected to adopt a more conservative 'bottom-up' approach rather than a 'grand bargain' that Trump pursued. Due to many policymakers holding deep suspicions about the North Korean regime, any diplomatic breakthrough with North Korea is unlikely to occur soon. As for South Korea and Japan, Biden will show more respect to these key allies but may also demand them to contribute more to US-led initiatives countering China.

Since President Biden's inauguration, significant cyberattacks have occurred several times in the United States, and cybersecurity was emphasized as a national priority. The U.S. is advancing efforts to strengthen the cybersecurity both domestically and internationally, including with allies. In particular, the Biden administration announced the National Cybersecurity Strategy in March 2023. The National Cybersecurity Strategy is the top guideline of cybersecurity and is the foundation of other cybersecurity policies. And it includes public-privates as well as international policy directions, so it is expected to affect the international order. Meanwhile, In Korea, a new administration was launched in 2022, and the revision of the National Cybersecurity Strategy is necessary. In addition, cooperation between Korea and the U.S. has recently been strengthened, and cybersecurity is being treated as a key agenda in the cooperative relationship. In this paper, we examine the cyber security strategies of the Trump and Biden administration, and analyze how the strategies have changed, their characteristics and implications in qualitative and quantitative terms. And we derive the implications of these changes for Korea's cybersecurity policy.

Using starch gel electrophoresis of proteins, we examined variation at 24 genetic loci in five species (three general of the Subfamily Danioninae (Class Pisces, Family Cyprinidae) inhabiting In Korea. The average degree of genic variation of the Subfamily Danioninae (A=1.8, P=16.5%, HD=0.043, HG=0.049) was far less than that of the fresh water fishes in general. But the degree of genic variation of A. chinensis (P=32.5 HD=0.100, HG=0.119) was highe, than other fishes and the value of O. biders was the lowest (P=4.2%, HD=0.008, HG=0.008). The average genetic similarities among the populations in each species of A. chinensis, Z. platypus, Z. temmincki MS type, Z. temmincki W type, and O. widens were S=0.902, 0.899, 0.990, 0.914, and 0.992, respectively. The average genetic similarity of A. chinensis to the other species was the lowest value of S=0.235, whereas that between two species of Z. temmincki was the highest of S=0.822. Genetically, Z. plypus is more similiar to O. widens than ho species of the same genus Zacco. Based on estimated divergent time of 5 species of the Subfamily Danioninae (7.6 to 0.9 million years) it is assumed that they are speciated during late Pliocene to middle Pleistocene epoch.

This study aims to account for electoral choice in the 2020 presidential election by focusing on social identity which forms the basis for core partisan groups. Two views compete to explain the origins of polarization, policy versus party. One emphasizes policy as more influential in choosing presidential candidates. This follows the tradition of retrospective voting theory in which voters' choice rely on government performance. Incumbent president whose performance proves well are rewarded to be reelected. Policy performance is based on measures around distinctive preferences for government spending. Republican Individuals prefer individual responsibility to government support, while Democratic counterparts support government support. Another perspective put an emphasis on the role partisanship which favors in-party members and disfavors partisan out-groups. Interparty animosity plays the key role in determining electoral behavior. This study relies on the Views of the Electorate Research (VOTER) Survey which provides a panel data of several waves from 2011 to 2020. A comparative evaluation of two views highlights three findings. First, policy matters. Policy preferences of voters are the primary drives of political behavior. Electoral outcomes in 2020 turned out to be the results of policy considerations of voters. 53.7 percent of voters tilted toward individual responsibility voted for Trump, whereas 70.4 percent of those favorable views of government support than individual responsibility voted for Biden. Thus effects of policy correspond to a positive difference of 26.4 percent points. Second, partisanship effects are of similar extent in influencing electoral choice of candidates: Democrats are less likely to vote for Trump by 42.4 percent points, while Republicans are less likely to vote for Biden by 48.7 percent points. Third, animosity of Republicans toward Democrat core groups creates 26.5 percent points of favoring Trump over Biden. Democrat animosity toward Republican core groups creates a positive difference of 13.7 percent points of favoring Biden.

Purpose - This study analyzed the effect of obtaining international products and qualification certification on exports according to the suitability evaluation system. Recently, non-tariff barriers have emerged as technical barriers, and the Biden administration is trying to achieve export growth and economic growth by utilizing the demand for conformity assessment following the Fourth Industrial Revolution and the free trade system from the perspective of Korea. Design/methodology - This study analyzed the effect of a manufacturer's product certification acquisition on a company's export performance using Resource-Based View-based multiple regression analysis. To this end, concentration validity was confirmed through Factor analysis and Cronbach's alpha, and correlation analysis was performed to verify discriminant validity. Findings - Product certification and qualification have a positive impact on the company's export performance. In particular, technological dynamism and relationship control have had a significant impact. Originality/value - Considering that the Conformity Assessment Management Act will take effect in earnest in 2022, this study is believed to suggest that companies that have been certified to meet international standards may improve their export performance and increase their value in the future.

Due to COVID-19, the concept of Zero Trust, a safe security in a non-face-to-face environment due to telecomm uting, is drawing attention. U.S. President Biden emphasized the introduction of Zero Trust in an executive order to improve national cybersecurity in May 2021, and Zero Trust is a global trend. However, the most difficulty in introd ucing new technologies such as Zero Trust in Korea is excessive regulation of cloud and network separation, which is based on the boundary security model, but is limited to not reflecting all new information protection controls due to non-face-to-face environments. In particular, in order for the government's policy to ease network separation to b ecome an effective policy, the zero trust name culture is essential. Therefore, this paper aims to study legal improve ments that reflect the concept of zero trust under the Electronic Financial Transactions Act.

Comparative studies on the morphological characters of the circumorbital bone were made in order to investigate the phylogenetic relationships of the family Cyprinidae. In this paper, forty four species from Korea and three species of Gobiobotia and Saurogobio dabryi from China were studied. Pungtungia herzi, Pseudopungtungia nigra and Pseudopungtungia tenuicorpus were similar in morphological structure on points of the first infraorbital elongated. In Hemibarbus, the base portion of the opened sensor canal was transformed into a lateral plate in the infraorbital. Microphysogobio was characteristic in that the infraorbital series were large, and had close relationship with Pseudogobio esocinus and Saurogobio dabryi. Gobiobotia were reduced to a bony canal with dermal bone. Culter brevicauda had a short supraorbital. Cyprininae were characterized by larger fourth and fifth infraorbitals. Leuciscinae were divided into two groups: Moroco and Zacco. The former includes Phoxinus phoxinus, Moroco oxycephalus and Moroco kumgangensis, and the latter includes Zacco platypus, Zacco temmincki and Opsariichthys bidens. Moroco group was distinguished from Zacco group in points of having a short supraorbital and a elongated the first infraorbital.

Twelve species of subfamily Leuciscinae from Korea are reviewed and keys to species and genera are provided. The species include Tribolodon hakonensis, T. branti, Phoxinus phoxinus, Moroco oxycephalus, M. steindachneri, M. keumgang, M. semotilus, Zacco platypus, Z. temminckii, Opsariichthys uncirostris amurensis, Aphyocypris chinensis and Squaliobarbus curriculus. In the present study M. lagowskii and O. bidens recorded previously in Korea have to be classified to M. steindachneri and O.u.amurensis based on several characters such as caudal peduncle depth, their distributions and lateral line scales, etc. A. chinensis from Korea is easily distinguished from that of mainland China in head length and caudal peduncle length. The skull and weberian apparatus of M. keumgang, endemir to Korea are described and compared with the other species of this subfamily. The diploid chromosome number of 9 species has three patterns: 2n=50 (T. hakonensis, P. phoxinus, M. oxycephalus, M. steindachneri and M. keumgang), 2n=48(Z. platypus, Z. temminckii and A. chinensis), 2n=76 (O. u. amurensis). Polyploidization or intraspecific polymorphism of chromosome was not observed in any species studied. Both species of P. phoxinus and A. chinensis are shown to be electrophoretically distinct from other taxa examined. The genera of subfamily Leuciscinae in Korea are represented by three possible groups: 1) Zacco-Opsariichthys-Tribolodon-Phoxinus-Morco, 2) Aphyocypris, and 3) Squaliobarbus.
