The relationship between government size and unemployment is an important topic of study in economics. Large public expenditure has been blamed for causing higher unemployment contrary to the belief that it would help in reducing unemployment. More research on the topic, however, needs to be done as the available literature has been based largely on data from developed countries. The present paper examines the existence of the relationship in states of India by using panel data analysis. For more comprehensive study, public expenditure is divided into development, non-development, and aggregate expenditures, while the types of unemployment under consideration are usual status and current weekly status. Indeed, it has been observed that development and non-development expenditures increase both the types of unemployment though the impact of the latter is higher. The findings are important as it implies that a cut in expenditure can be an important fiscal tool to fight unemployment. It was further observed that unemployment was higher among states with a more educated population, which also suggests a revisiting of the education policy in the country. States ruled by left parties have higher unemployment rate. Higher income states as well as states with higher growth rate tend to have lower unemployment rate.

As the zero interest rate era was over with the end of quantitative easing, the economy of several global markets observed the fluctuations of the base interest rate. Interest rate, which is the change of money value with respect to time, is negatively correlated with construction investment. Considering the characteristics of interest rates and construction investment as economic variables, the necessity of cross-border analysis between base interest rate and construction investment was suggested in this paper. Cross-correlation analysis between base interest rates and construction investment crossing the border was performed. The effective correlations were confirmed with values varying by countries. Similar characteristics were also observed among countries with similar economy, which were then divided into three groups. Additionally, identifying the base interest rate that affects the construction investment of a particular country was made possible by reflecting a self-cycle of base interest rates. Lastly, from the result of examining the influence of each rise and fall of the interest rate, it was verified that the difference was more than twice as large in some countries. These results are expected to contribute to construction-related policy makers or investors to make decisions in response to the economic status of the construction market.

The economic decline coincided with the crooked political path of Spanish monarchy that has been on an almost permanent state of war. The Spanish empire was divided and consequently, general impoverishment spread throughout the whole country quickly. Nevertheless Spanish culture reached the climax, especially in the field of painting. Spanish paintings of 17th century are basically religious based on concept of Baroque, whose theme is usually the immaculate conception or mysterious figures of saints. Velaquez, Mrillo, and Ribera are the main painters who represented the trend of this time. Despite having fame as religious court painters, they painted subjects from low society such as beggars in rags, dwarves, jesters, or the poor child. They reflected an optimistic expression and an awe for human being in their paintings greatly. In this paper, we are dealing with three main representative painters of Baroque era whose theme was a picaresque character. This character was one of the axes that coexisted with royals and nobles in 17th century of Spain. The art works that are dealt in this paper serve as materials for historial values and through them we can observe the atmosphere of decline that dominated Spain of the time.

Background: Incentive and penalty (I/P) programs are commonly used to increase employees' safety outcomes, but its influence on employees' safety outcomes is under-investigated. Moreover, under developed economies lack safety culture and there is dearth of literature focusing on empirical studies over there [1]. Based on these gaps, this study attempts to see the impact of I/P programs on safety outcomes in a developing country. Methods: The study was carried out in three stages, where Stage I revealed that selected 45 organizations were deficit of safety culture and practices, while only three firms were found good at safety practices. At Stage II, these three firms were divided in two clusters (groups), and were probed further at Stage III. At this stage group, one was manipulated by providing incentives (experimental group) and employees' responses in terms of safety motivation and performance were noticed. Results: It was observed that the experimental group's safety motivation and performance had improved (both for immediate and 1-month later performance). The results were further probed at Phase 3 (after 3 months), where it was found that the benefits of I/P programs were not long lasting and started replenishing. Conclusion: Findings of the study helped researchers conclude that safety incentives have only short-term influence on safety outcomes, while a long-term and permanent solution should be found.

This study assesses the Internet banking adoption tendency by existing bank customers of Bangladesh. Currently, almost all the leading banks in the country have implemented Internet banking platforms. However, the active user count remains relatively low and there hasn't been any conclusive research on the drivers and inhibitors of Internet banking. This study evaluates the reasons and quantitatively establishes the factors leading to the adoption and usage continuance of internet banking by existing bank customers. Responses from 460 bank account holders were collected via online questionnaires using a purposive sampling approach, and a core conceptual framework based on Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) and Technology Readiness Index (TRI) was used. The study concluded that internet banking adoption is significantly impacted by the ease of use, customer service, and technology familiarity. Similarly, customer satisfaction is affected by the perceived value and the perceived risk. Through regression analysis, it was found that usage continuance is 89% explained by adoption and customer satisfaction. Multi-group moderation showed significant impact by groups divided based on usage frequency, income level, and age. Perceived risk weakened the impact of perceived value and technology familiarity on usage adoption. Additionally, perceived risk reduced the impact of consumer satisfaction and usage continuance.

Recently, the popularization of personal mobility(PM) has made it possible to see many electric scooters. The energy source of personal transportation used by the general public and the disabled can be seen as environmentally friendly as electricity. Personal transportation means are divided into small electric vehicles because they use electric energy, and they are being treated as new models by automobile manufacturers in each country and spurring development. On the other hand, personal transportation means may cause various types of traffic accidents as they travel between roads and a human walk. In order to prevent such accidents, it is judged that the enactment of laws on the establishment of specifications for electric scooters, which are personal transportation means, and the method of restricting road operation should be given priority. The electric scooter is basically different from the conventional vehicle. The steering shaft of the steering system applied to the electric scooter one to two is possible. 1 to 2 the front-wheel under the steering column is used. It is classified according to the number of wheel installed at the electric scooter is the vehicle body into 2 wheel - electric scooter, and 3 wheel - electric scooter and 4 wheel - electric scooter. In this study, we propose a steering shaft design model that can be applied to an electric scooter, one of personal transportation means. A design model for 1-shaft steering and 2-shafts steering that can be applied to electric scooters is proposed. In addition, we have produced the prototypes for the commercialization of the proposed models, and reviewed the pros and cons of the manufactured prototypes and models.

In each country, efforts are being made to replace engine-driven cars and motorcycles using fossil fuels with electric drive. Electrically driven vehicles have the advantage of no harmful gas or environmental pollution and low noise. In the motorcycle market, China accounts for more than 95% of the world, and the electric motorcycle market is being revitalized due to the strengthening of regulations. Japan is actively preparing to include electric motorcycles in ISO 26262, forming a TF team centered on electric motorcycle producers. Therefore, it is necessary to respond to standardization targeting China and Japan in Korea. In this study, we propose a proprietary transmission model that can be applied to small electric vehicles that can be operated in hilly domestic terrain. The proposed continuously variable transmission model is a continuously variable transmission system which moves the pin between the basic disk and the rotary disk using a spline to perform shifting. The proposed continuously variable transmission model is used in the pulley configuration by connecting the linear type spline and the inclined spline with the central axis of the basic disk and the rotational disk, respectively. In addition, it can be divided into two types according to the application of the auxiliary disk, and the production drawing is completed for the practical use of the model.

Recent studies have confirmed that gut microbiota differs according to race or country in many diseases, including mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and Alzheimer's disease. However, no study has analyzed the characteristics of Korean MCI patients. This study was performed to observe the association between gut microbiota and MCI in the Korean elderly and to identify potential markers for Korean MCI patients. For this purpose, we collected fecal samples from Korean subjects who were divided into an MCI group (n = 40) and control group (n = 40) for 16S rRNA gene amplicon sequencing. Although no significant difference was observed in the overall microbial community profile, the relative abundance of several genera, including Bacteroides, Prevotella, and Akkermansia, showed significant differences between the two groups. In addition, the relative abundance of Prevotella was negatively correlated with that of Bacteroides (r = 0.733). This study may provide Korean-specific basic data for comparing the characteristics of the gut microbiota between Korean and non-Korean MCI patients.

문학작품은 선행 작품 혹은 동시대의 다른 작품들과의 상호관계 속에서 창작되고 있다. 당대의 문단활동을 통해서나 작가 자신의 소양 속에 내재되어 있는 선험적인 텍스트와의 끊임 없는 대화를 통해 작가의 의식에 적절한 반응양식이 선택하여 외부로 표현되는 것이 작품이라 할 수 있다. 어떤 양식 또한 시대적, 개인적 필요성에 의하여 이런 과정을 속에서 되풀이된다. 본 연구에서 대상으로 삼고 있는 홍언은 미국 초기 이민자이며 재미 한인신문 $\lceil$신한민보$\rfloor$의 발행에 오랜 기간 종사한 언론인이자 문인이다. 지면을 책임지고 있는 발행인으로서 자신의 작품을 비교적 자유롭게 발표할 수 있는 처지에 있었다. 그러나 국내문단과의 직접적인 교류나 활동은 없었고 미국 현지에서 함께 할 독자가 적은 가운데 시가만 400여 편을 발표할 정도로 활발하게 활동했다. 본 연구에서 홍언의 다양한 작품활동 가운데 1935년, 1947년 두 차례에 걸쳐 발표되는 몽유양식을 활용한 시가$\cdot$몽유가사$\cdot$몽유시조를 분석하고 그 의미를 고찰한다. 1935년과 1947년으로, 두 차례 $\lceil$신한민보$\rfloor$의 <사조>난에 몽유가사와 몽유시조를 싣는다. 홍언은 미국이라는 만리타국에 와 있지만 자신의 개인적인 것을 모두 포기할 만큼 조국의 독립을 갈망하였으며 항시 조국의 현실을 예의주시하고 있는 상황에서 창작된다. 첫 몽유시가는 1935년 4월 25일에 <이강산>을 필두로 1935년 5월 9일 부터 1935년 7월 4일까지 동회슈부라는 자신의 필명으로 <꿈에 고국에 가셔>라는 제목 하에 연작시가 8편을 차례로 연재하는 것이다. 이는 개화 가사의 형식을 선택하고 있으며 향수와 1900년 전후의 조선 상황에서 정체된 역사의식을 담고 있어 중세적 이념을 노정하고 있다. 두 번째 몽유시가는 1947년 9월 25일 발표한 <나라와 고향>을 서시로 1947년 10월 2일부터 1947년 11월 6일까지 6 편을 연재하는 <꿈속에 강산>이다. 여기서 선택한 시형은 시조이며 그 시상의 전개가 1차 시도와 비슷하여 1차 시도를 의식하여 창작되었다고 볼 수 있다. 내용은 분단된 조국현실을 직시하면서 미국과 러시아에 대해 적대적으로 인식한다. 그리고 외적 장애요인이 제거되었는 데도 고국에 가지 못하는 자신의 개인적 처지를 합리화하는 방어기제로서, 조국을 '살지 못할 곳'으로 인식하고 있다. 몽유양식은 꿈을 주요 모티브로 사용하면서 현실의 좌절된 욕망을 달성하고자 의도적으로 취하는 양식이다. 홍언은 이민 후 일제치하에서는 정치적인 이유로, 독립 후에는 개인의 경제적인 사정으로 고국방문을 하지 못했다. 고국방문이라는 간절한 소망을 달성하기 위하여 홍언은 몽유양식을 활용하였다. 이는 중세의 지식인들이 우언의 한 양식으로 즐겨 사용했던 전통 양식이자 개화기 지식인들이 검열을 피하기 위한 수단이며 다양한 글쓰기 방식의 일환으로 선택되어 문학사적 사명을 다했던 것과 같은 맥락에서 의의를 찾을 수 있다.
