This paper analyzes the comparative advantages and development prospects of the China (Anhui) Pilot Free Trade Zone. Based on a SWOT analysis method, this study finds that the Anhui Pilot Free Trade Zone has a set of comparative advantages, including location advantage, rich resources, industrial transformation and new industries, technological innovation capabilities, new patterns for development, and policy support. In recent years, by leveraging its key resources, Anhui Province has been committed to developing an open economy. Furthermore, its economic vitality has increased significantly under preferential policies such as the Belt and Road Initiative, the China-Europe International Freight Shuttle, and the Yangtze River Economic Belt Development Plan. As a result, the total foreign trade has continued to grow. The findings of this study highlight that the comparative advantages are of great significance to the development of the Anhui Pilot Free Trade Zone, which helped expand the scope and openness of the regional economy and foreign investment. However, to achieve the development objectives of the Anhui Pilot Free Trade Zone as planned, these comparative advantages must be developed and converted into a set of sustainable competitive advantages for the regional economy. Therefore, a few development suggestions are put forward.

This study investigated the comparative advantages of the Bangladeshi and Vietnamese apparel industries using Global Value Chain (GVC) framework. In this study, the GVC framework was expanded to include social and environmental sustainability issues. Secondary data, for the 2012 - 2013 period, were collected and analyzed for each component of the apparel GVC. The findings indicated that while both countries have unique comparative advantages, Vietnam clearly emerged as a leader on many GVC components. Bangladesh's comparative advantage lies in lower wages, producing high volume orders, and lean manufacturing. In spite of Vietnam's higher labor costs, it has comparative advantages in higher productivity, skilled and trained workers, manufacturing of intricate styles of high quality, agility and flexible manufacturing, more developed infrastructure and logistic services as well as greater social and environmental compliances. This study contributes towards insight into best sourcing fit for fashion brand business models. Based on the findings, fashion driven companies offering more complex styles at a faster rate will benefit from choosing Vietnam. In contrast, Bangladesh might be a better choice for high volume driven companies that offer basic apparel and better value for their consumers. From theoretical perspective, the research makes an important contribution by expanding the GVC framework.

This paper aims to develop a conceptual model of smart tourism destination competitiveness to provide implications in terms of smart tourism destination realization and smart tourism destination competitiveness development. A literature review on tourism destination competitiveness and smart tourism destination is performed. A conceptual model is suggested on the basis of the model of destination competitiveness developed by Crouch and Ritchie (1999). The suggested conceptual model integrates the traditional concepts of comparative advantages and competitive advantages, seven core resources and attractors, and five destination management factors. Smart technology is included as a new core resource and attractor in the model. This study is the first to comprehensively conceptualize smart tourism destination competitiveness. Moreover, this study has practical value in the sense that it focused on the convergence between smart technology and other factors.

정보의 이용과 보존에 따른 시간적, 공간적 한계를 극복하기 위해서 컴퓨터와 네트워크 기술을 기반으로 하는 전자도서관에 대한 국가적인 관심과 지원이 더욱 증대되고 있다. 전자도서관의 궁극적 목적인 정보의 자유로운 유통과 관리를 위한 전자문헌형식과 이에 대한 표준화는 오늘날 중요한 논점으로서 부각되고 있다. 현재, 디지털 정보를 담을 수 있는 다양한 전자문헌개발을 위한 도구들이 있으며, 여러 분야에서 활용되고 있다. 그러나, 단지 특정한 전자문헌개발도구만이 전자도서관을 구축하기 위한 도구로서 기능적인 측면에서나 전자문헌의 제작에 있어서 절대적인 우위성을 갖고 있지는 못하다. 즉, 개개의 도구들은 전자문헌의 형식과 기능 및 정보량에 따른 검색의 효율성에 따라서 상대적인 장, 단점을 가지고 있다. 본 연구에서는 향후의 전자도서관에서 전자문헌이 갖추어야 할 기본조건들과 전자문헌의 개발을 위한 도구로서 사용되어질 대표적인 전자문헌개발도구인 SGML, HTML과 PDF에 의한 전자문헌의 제작 방법과 특징들을 살펴보고, 각각의 상대적인 장, 단점을 비교, 분석함으로써 미래의 전자도서관에서의 자료유형에 따라 적응될 수 있는 적절한 전자문헌개발도구를 제안하였다.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the performance of Housing Service Centers in terms of a new attempt made by NGOs and to then determine the implication of collaboration with lower level local governments in a housing welfare delivery system. The evaluation of the performance of the Housing Service Centers focused on three aspects: the performance outcomes for three years, comparative advantages to lower level local governments, and the vulnerability as an NGO. As a result of evaluating the outcome of Housing Service Centers and comparative advantages of Housing Service Centers to the local government, it is expected that a more effective housing welfare delivery system is able to be constructed when Housing Service Centers and lower level local governments collaborate. However, fiscal vulnerability of Housing Service Centers as NGO's will restrict the sustainability of the collaboration of both organizations. Therefore, as a conclusion, this study proposed that the governments should make use of Housing Service Centers as a public policy agency and projects should be based on a contract.

In this paper, different types of traditional project delivery methods in the construction industry were explored and a comparative analysis against Integrated Project Delivery (IPD) were performed. The advantages of IPD method for all parties, owner/engineer/architect/general contractor, were explored by reviewing the most recent literature. The literature suggests that IPD method should be the dominating project delivery method and diluting the conventional methods such as Design-Bid-Build due to more collaborative and mutually beneficial ways of doing construction; IPD is newer and a more comprehensive method to capture the intrinsic values of project collaboration. This paper presents a comparison of the commonly used methods of project delivery, Design-bid-build, CMAR, & Design-Build and addresses their advantages and disadvantages in differing project scopes and sizes. Several industry leaders with experience in the four types of project delivery addressed were surveyed. The survey results show an overwhelming desire for future projects to go toward IPD from the contractor/owner/RDP. The biggest obstacle facing a project from using IPD appears to be trust.

Purpose: The Inaba's procedure, the treatment of osmidrosis axillae, has the advantages of low recurrent rate and easy to learn, yet it produces early postoperative discomfort and scar formation by tie - over dressing. The authors modified the Inaba's procedure by using delayed suture of the incision wound and omitting tie - over dressing. The comparative study of Inaba's procedure and its modification was performed to confirm the advantages of modified procedure. Methods: The study contains the retrospective analysis of the medical records of 296 patients with osmidrosis who were treated using the Inaba's procedure from December, 1996 to February, 2007. The study also contains the prospective analysis of 20 patients, from March, 2007 to July, 2008, who were treated by the modified Inaba's procedure with delayed suture of the incision wound and gentle pressure dressing instead of tie - over dressing. The operative results of two groups were compared and verified by Mann - Whitney U test(SPSS 12.0). Results: The incidence of complications was 14.5% in the Inaba's procedure, whereas 6.2% in the modified Inaba's procedure. Both procedures have the same basic surgical procedure in terms of the location of incision site and subdermal shaving of the sweat glands, and therefore similar good results were obtained in the aspect of postoperative axillary odor, recurrent rate and postoperative condition of axillary hair. Certainly, the modified Inaba's procedure had better outcome in each element of PSS(Patient Scar Self-Rating Scale), compared to the Inaba's procedure. In addition, the modified Inaba's procedure showed a statistical significance in dressing - related pain reduction and overall satisfaction. Conclusion: The modified Inaba's procedure had advantages of decreased early postoperative complications such as hematoma, discomfort and pain caused by tie - over dressing, and decreased scar formation. However, the drawback was delayed suture of the incision wound after 48 hours.

이 연구는 기존의 현시비교우위지수 (RCA)를 지역에 적용한 후 지역불균형발전 정도를 반영하도록 수정한 지역현시비교우위지수를 제안하고 있다. 이는 한국의 산업입지가 전적으로 지역의 비교우위에만 기초해서 이루어지지는 않았다는 가정 아래 한국의 각 지역 간 비교우위를 평가하여 지역전략산업을 탐색하기 위한 것이다. 참여정부 이래 지속되고 있는 한국정부의 국가균형발전정책 역시 같은 가정에 기초하고 있다. 지역현시비교우위지수는 전통적인 현시비교우위의 지수에 국가균형발전의 역수인 불균형정도를 나타내는 요소를 반영한 것이다. 우리는 이 지수를 2007년 데이터에 적용하여 실제로 지역별 전략산업을 제시해 보았다.
