The purpose of this study was to investigate the factors affecting credit card attitudes, financial management practices, and sound credit card use among college students, and to conceptualize a theoretical model. Earlier studies identified a number of antecedent variables (such as gender, year in college, job experience, amount of allowance, family income, living with parents, having taken a personal financial management course) and intervening variables (such as attitudes towards credit cards and financial management practices) as useful predictors of sound credit card practices. Four hundred and thirty four undergraduate students in Daejeon participated in this study. Stepwise multiple regression and path analysis were conducted. The results of this study were as follows: 1. Students' attitudes towards credit cards were affected by their you in college, whether they were living with their parents, and the amount of their allowance. Similarly, students' financial management practices were affected by their year in college, whether they were living with their parents, the amount of their allowance, and whether and not they had taken a personal financial management course. 2. Sound credit card practices were influenced by students' gender, their year in college, the amount of their allowance, attitudes towards credit cards, and financial management practices. 3. The path-analysis model demonstrates the relationships among the antecedent variables, intervening variables (credit card attitude, financial management practices), and sound credit card use.

This work intends to study some issues in relation to the cancellation and amendment of letter of credit. Those issues in relation to the cancellation are the significance and formation time of cancellation of letter of credit and some points for practical attention of UCP 600 in the case of cancellation of letter of credit. Those issues in relation to the amendment are the significance and formation requirements of amendment of letter of credit and some points for practical attention of UCP 600 in the case of amendment of letter of credit. If exporters receive letters of credit from foreign countries, they must confirm the indication of irrevocable letter of credit. When they find revocable letters of credit, they should amend the credits to be irrevocable credits. If issuing banks amend letters of credit against beneficiaries, the banks should receive the beneficiaries' consent. If amendments devalue applicants' expectations in the underlying transaction, the applicants for whom the credit issues are not liable to reimburse. Beneficiaries and issuing banks may amend a credit, but the issuing bank acts at its own peril if it does not obtain the applicant's consent.

Most researches on the corporate credit rating are generally classified into the area of bankruptcy prediction and bond rating. The studies on bankruptcy prediction have focused on improving the performance in binary classification problem, since the criterion variable is categorical, bankrupt or non-bankrupt. The other studies on bond rating have predicted the credit ratings, which was already evaluated by bond rating experts. The financial institute, however, should perform effective loan evaluation and risk management by employing the corporate credit rating model, which is able to determine the credit of corporations. Therefore, this study presents a corporate credit rating method using business failure probability map(BFPM) and AHP(Analytic Hierarchy Process). The BFPM enables us to rate the credit of corporations according to business failure probability and data distribution or frequency on each credit rating level. Also, we developed AHP model for credit rating using non-financial information. For the purpose of completed credit rating model, we integrated the BFPM and the AHP model using both financial and non-financial information. Finally, the credit ratings of each firm are assigned by our proposed method. This method will be helpful for the loan evaluators of financial institutes to decide more objective and effective credit ratings.

The purpose of this paper is to estimate the impact of credit rationing on the amount of trade credit used by farmers in Vietnam. This study employs a survey data collected through direct interviews with heads of 1,065 rice households randomly selected out of provinces and city in the Mekong River Delta (MRD). In each province or city, the village with the largest area of land devoted to rice production from the district with the largest area of land devoted to rice production was picked up for survey. In each village, 200 rice farmers were randomly chosen for interview. Based on a probit model and a semi-parametric propensity score matching (PSM) estimator while controlling socio-demographic traits of rice farmers, the estimated results show that non-credit rationed farmers use less trade credit to finance production compared to their credit rationed counterparts. Moreover, the amount of trade credit used by farmers decreases as the degree of credit rationing drops. This paper provides evidence of the substitutive relationship between bank credit and trade credit. It also implicitly suggests that banks can drive trade creditors out of the market if they manage to solve the problem of information asymmetry and transaction cost.

Purpose : This study is to provide the basic data for developing the curriculum standardization of emergency medical technology by analyzing the three-year and four-year period curriculum and high-advanced major course to bring up highly qualified paramedics. Method : This study was analyzed, divided in 3 sections, majors, teaching profession subjects and liberal arts of 18 three-year curriculum universities and 7 four-year curriculum universities. Majors were analyzed, departmentalized in the national examination for license, the clinical and on-the-job training(OJT) and other major-related subjects. It is descriptive study, analyzed by dividing high-advanced major course into majors and liberal arts. Result : 1) The average number of subjects established in three-year-course college were 58.1. The completion credit was 130.1 in average. Also, the average number of established subjects at four-year-course were 61.1. The average completion credit was 141. 2) Three-year-course college professors give lecture in theory for 95.4 hours on average, which account for 59.9% of overall lecture, and 63.8 hours for practical training that takes 40.1% of the hours lectures are given. Meanwhile, four-year-course give lecture in theory for 111 hours on average, taking a part of 59.5%, and 76.5 hours for practical training, 40.5%. 3) In regard to liberal arts, at three-year-course college, the average credit was 16 but the proportion that liberal arts charge among the completion credit was 11.6. Meanwhile, at four-year-course universities, the average credit was 28.4 and the percentage that the liberal arts took part in the completion credit was 20.1. 4) Looking over national examination subjects among majors at three-year-course college, basic medicine's average credit was 17.2, introduction to advanced emergency care's average credit was 15.5, Special advanced emergency care's average credit was 28, emergency patient management's average credit was 9.2 and emergency medicine statute's average credit was 3.6. Meanwhile, in case of four-year-course universities, basic medicine's average credit was 14.3, introduction to advanced emergency care's average credit was 12.7, special advanced emergency care's average credit was 31, emergency patient management's average credit was 8.3 and emergency medicine statute's average credit was 2.9. 5) Among national examination subjects, in case of three-year-course, the range of basic medicine credits was 6 to 23, the average credit showed 17.2. The range of introduction to advanced emergency care credits was 9 to 21, the average credit showed 15.5. The range of special advanced emergency care credits was 19 to 36, the average credit showed 28. The range of emergency patient management credits was 5 to 12, the average credit was 9.2.

For the purpose of completed credit rating model, we integrated the ANN and AHP model using both financial information and non-financial information. Finally, the credit ratings of each firm are assigned by the proposed method.
