Purpose - Currently, strengthening small and medium-sized enterprises (SME) in terms of competitiveness is a key economic issue. However, the problem is that many SMEs lack the internal competence required to cope with a rapidly changing market structure. Such problems can act as an obstacle to economic development, yet most SMEs in Korea are dealing with this problem today. A company's source of competitive advantage is changing from quantity to quality, facility to knowledge, and hardwork to creativity. Under such circumstances, a company should place learning and sharing of knowledge and continuously creating new knowledge as its priority. This study aims to identify the effect of a chief executive officer's (CEO) compassion and forgiveness - positive factors in organizational emotion - on learning organization activities and organizational performance, through a theoretical comparison. Research design, data, and methodology - For this study, SMEs based in Daejeon and Chungcheong area were selected. To secure credibility of the data, the subjects were selected among those who have been working at the business for six months or longer. The survey was conducted for 30 days from March 5, 2015 to April 5, 2015. Both offline and online surveys were conducted. Fifty companies were chosen and 700 questionnaires were distributed, with 506 used for analysis. Fifty subject companies (25 from Daejeon, 10 from Chungnam, 10 from Chungbuk, and five from Sejong) were selected and the objective, target, and survey content were explained to a manager at each company either face-to-face or on the phone. Of the total of 700 questionnaires distributed via mail or e-mail, 78.6% or 550 copies were returned. Excluding 44 insufficient questionnaires, the remainder, 506 questionnaires, were used for analysis. Results - This study analyzed how the CEO's compassion and forgiveness affects learning organization activities and organizational performance. First, compassion of the CEO at the SMEs directly affected the learning organization activities and indirectly affected the organizational performance. Second, forgiveness of the CEO at the SMEs did not affect the learning organization activities and organizational performance directly or indirectly. Conclusions - The study conclusions are as follows. First, CEO compassionate behavior at the SMEs was a significant variable that directly and indirectly affected learning organization activities and organizational performance. Therefore, the CEO of an SME can create a positive organizational atmosphere through compassionate behaviors in the organization. Second, the forgiving behavior of the CEO did not have direct or indirect effects on learning organization activities and organizational performance. However, the reason for a CEO to continue his or her forgiving behavior is because it strengthens employee resilience, commitment, and self-efficacy to protect the organization from negative influences such as layoffs, risks, and wrongdoings. The action of forgiveness does not have direct or indirect effects. However, the CEO shall continue such behavior to strengthen members' physiological resilience, commitment, and self - effectiveness, and to protect the organization from risks including layoff and external negative factors.

유통시장의 개방과 함께 국내·외 유통기업들의 진출과 같은 다양한 형태의 유통업태들과의 경쟁으로 인해 전통시장은 심각한 문제들에 봉착하게 되었다. 전통시장의 생존을 위해 그간 정부는 다양한 정책을 추진하였고, 학자들도 문제 해결을 위한 많은 연구결과를 발표하였으나 불행하게도 그 결과들은 아직 만족스럽지 못한 상태이다. 본 연구는 정부의 저탄소 녹색성장 정책의 도입과 관련하여 전통시장의 생존과 유지·발전을 위한 새로운 관점으로 접근하였다. 먼저 전통시장의 생존과 유지·발전을 위해서는 최근 이슈가 되고 있는 정부의 저탄소 녹색성장에 대한 이해가 필요할 것이라는 가정아래 먼저 전통시장 상인들의 저탄소 녹색성장에 대한 인지 정도를 측정하였으며 전통시장을 발전시키기 위한 키워드로 상인들의 조직몰입과 조직몰입에 영향을 미칠 수 있는 태도변수로 정부정책에 대한 신뢰와 상인들의 자기효능감을 측정하여 변수들 간의 관계를 분석하였다. 흥미롭게도 전통시장 상인들의 인구통계적 특성(예를 들어 기성세대와 젊은 세대의 세대별 양극화 현상과 학력차이)이 구별되는 것을 발견하였다. 전통시장 상인들의 세대차와 학력차이로 인한 변수들의 평균값에 차이가 있는지를 확인하기 위하여 일원분산분석을 실시한 결과는 다음과 같다. 전반적으로 기성세대 상인들의 녹색성장인식, 정부정책신뢰, 자기효능감과 조직몰입의 정도는 젊은 세대 상인들과 차이가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 구체적으로 녹색성장인식(F = 9.964, p<.05), 자기효능감(F = 5.532, p<.05) 그리고 조직몰입(F = 5.697, p<.05)은 통계적으로 유의미한 차이를 나타냈다. 또한 학력차의 경우에도 고학력 상인들이 학력이 낮은 상인들에 비해 전반적으로 높은 평균값을 보였다. 구체적으로는 고학력 상인들의 녹색성장인식(F = 8.564, p<.005)과 자기효능감(F = 6.754, p<.005)이 높은 것으로 나타났다. 이런 결과는 정부가 정책을 실현함에 있어 상인들의 인구통계적 특성도 중요한 요인이 될 것임을 반영하고 있다. 연구결과 1) 상인들의 저탄소 녹색성장 정책에 대한 인식이 높으면 전통시장에 대한 조직몰입의 정도가 통계적으로 유의미함을 알 수 있었고, 2) 녹색성장 정책의 인식과 조직몰입간의 관계에 있어 상인들의 정책신뢰가 조절하고 있음과 3) 상인들이 스스로 해낼 수 있다는 신념인 자기효능감은 둘 간의 관계를 완전매개함을 확인할 수 있었다. 정부정책신뢰가 녹색성장 정책의 인식과 조직몰입간의 관계를 조절한다는 뜻은 상인들이 정책를 신뢰할 수 있는 어떤 단서가 있어야 함을 의미하며, 자기효능감의 완전매개는 전통시장 상인들이 스스로 전통시장을 활성화할 수 있을것이라는 신념을 스스로 가질 수 있도록 정부가 충분히 고려해야 한다는 것을 의미한다. 말미에는 이 연구결과를 통해 얻을 수 있는 영향과 향후 연구 방향을 제시하였다.

The incidence of tuberculosis (TB) in the Republic of Korea remains high when compared to the incidence in other Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) countries. The prompt diagnosis and effective treatment of latent TB infection (LTBI) are very important in terms of controlling the burden of TB. The tuberculin skin test (TST) has long been the "gold standard" assay for the diagnosis of LTBI. However, it can show false positive results due to Bacille Calmette-$Gu{\acute{e}}rin$ (BCG) vaccination and infection with many environmental nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM). The interferon gamma release assay (IGRA) using Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB)-specific antigens, was developed for the detection of LTBI. The QuantiFERON-TB Gold In-Tube assay is one of the most commonly used forms of the IGRA. In order to compare the diagnostic efficacy of the TST and IGRA in relation to LTBI among BCG-vaccinated healthy donors, whole blood samples were collected from 51 participants, and the results of the TST and IGRA were compared. Of the 51 cases, 18 cases (35.3%) were positive and 33 cases (64.7%) were negative when using the TST, while four cases (7.8%) were positive and 47 cases (92.2%) negative when using the IGRA. There was no correlation between the size of the induration in the TST and the $IFN-{\gamma}$ protein level. In conclusion, the TST showed higher cross-reactivity among the BCG-vaccinated healthy participants, therefore, the IGRA might be the most suitable assay for the rapid screening of LTBI in BCG-vaccinated healthy population, or for TB contact investigation.

The dairy industry, as part of the broader agricultural sector, is classified as a basic industry to the Korea economy. Basic industries provide income to a region by producing an output, purchasing production inputs, services and labor. An integrated, multidisciplinary approach for the next generation of dairy products with added health benefits represent the direct economic contribution. The commercialization of "nutritional" functional foods can only be successful if the consumer is confident in the scientific validity of the claims. Modern biotechnologies such as genomics, genetic expression and biomarkers of health performance suggested to whole dairy products, such as fluid milk, butter, cheese, ice cream and frozen dessert products (German, 1999). The following definition makes the point that dairy products can provide a nutritional value beyond the basic nutritional requirements: 1) The dairy industry has the opportunity to improve the health and well-being of its customers and/or to reduce their risk of disease through dairy products with added activities. 2) Functional dairy products are those that can be demonstrated to benefit target functions in the body in a way that improves the state of health and /or reduces the risk of disease. They are food products that are consumed as part of a normal diet rather than pills or supplements. 3) Dairy products based on functionality will need to link the scientific basis of such functionality to the communication of its benefit to the general public. 4) Both the efficacy and the safety of the food components with health benefits will require evidence based on the measurement of scientific biomarkers relevant to their biological responses and health end points. 5) Sound evidence from human studies based on intermediate health end points using accepted biomarkers will provide the basis for promotional messages divided into two categories-enhanced function and reduced risk of disease. 6) Success in solving key scientific and technological challenges will only be achieved by interdisciplinary research programs to exploit the scientific concepts in functional dairy science.

본 연구는 동료(peer)에 대비한 학생의 상대적인 학업성취가 진로 결정에 어떠한 영향을 주는지를 살펴본다. 구체적으로 학교 내에서 학생들의 상대적인 수학 순위가 이과 선택에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다. 분석을 위해 서울시 소재 학생들의 패널데이터를 이용하였으며, 수학 성적을 통제하더라도 상대 순위가 낮은 경우 이과에 진학할 확률이 11%포인트 이상 감소함을 확인하였다. 높은 상대 순위는 여학생에게 추가적인 양의 이과 진학 효과를 나타내 상대 순위가 성별로 다르게 작용함을 보였다. 분석 결과에 따르면 상대 순위효과 중 약 12%만이 자신감과 같은 주관적 평가에 의해 설명되며, 이로 미루어보아 내신 성적을 통한 경로가 더 지배적일 것으로 추측할 수 있다.

Bacterial leaf blight (BLB) caused by Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae (Xoo) is a very serious disease in rice-growing regions of the world. In spite of their economic importance, there are no effective ways of protecting rice plants from this disease. Bacteriophages infecting Xoo affect the population dynamics of the pathogen and consequently the occurrence of the disease. In this study, we investigated the diversity, host range, and infectivity of Xoo phages, and their use as a bicontrol agent on BLB was tested. Among the 34 phages that were isolated from floodwater in paddy fields, 29 belonged to the Myoviridae family, which suggests that the dominant phage in the ecosystem was Myoviridae. The isolated phages were classified into two groups based on plaque size produced on the lawn of Xoo. In general, there was a negative relationship between plaque size and host range, and interestingly the phages having a narrow host range had low efficiency of infectivity. The deduced protein sequence analysis of htf genes indicated that the gene was not a determinant of host specificity. Although the difference in host range and infectivity depending on morphotype needs to be addressed, the results revealed deeper understanding of the interaction between the phages and Xoo strains in floodwater and damp soil environments. The phage mixtures reduced the occurrence of BLB when they were treated with skim milk. The results indicate that the Xoo phages could be used as an alternative control method to increase the control efficacy and reduce the use of agrochemicals.

Purpose: Shared mobility services are the most notable in the shared economy; however, they have yet to be activated in Korea due to various regulations and conflicts amongst stakeholders. Nevertheless, shared mobility has become an irresistible trend of the times, as it can cause a great deal of economic and environmental benefits. In this vein, the purpose of this study is to contribute to the revitalization of shared mobility services in Korea and to provide service providers with implications for developing consumer-oriented marketing strategies. Research design, data and methodology: Based on the reasons that the users do not use shared mobility service, the factors influencing the behaviors of shared mobility users are structured and analyzed in a reliable, technical and procedural manner. To this end, the theory of reasoned action (TRA) of Ajzen and Fisbbein, the initial trust model (ITM), task technology fit (TTF) and switching cost (SC) are adopted. A total of 202 questionnaires were collected from the respondents who were aware of shared mobility. Then statistical processing of the collected data used SmartPLS(v.3.2.8), a PLS-SEM (Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling) analysis program. The steps of the analysis are as follows. First, a PLS-Algorithm analysis was performed to evaluate the measurement model, and a Bootstraping and Blindfolding analysis was performed to evaluate the structural model and verify the hypotheses. Second, a multi-group analysis (PLS-MGA) was conducted to further analyze the differences depending on whether or not users experienced shared mobility service. Results: The results showed that initial trusts model (ITM) and task technology fit (TTF) have positive effects on users' behaviors through the mediation of the intention to use. As opposed to the assumption, switching costs did not have negative moderating effects in relation to the intention to use and users' behaviors. The influence of IT self-efficacy was significant, depending on the prior experience to use shared mobility services. Conclusions: This study will contribute to the revitalization of domestic shared mobility services and the formulation of service providers' marketing strategies. In future studies, there is a need to explore, reconstruct, and validate factors other than the impact factors of the shared mobility services used in this research model.

Attempts were made to compare and analyze the policies of the United States, the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, Germany and Denmark concerning Korea's major problems associated with legal liability of the contaminated sites. These countries were chosen from a feasible preliminary analysis of 18 countries of the EU and the U. S. The major problems were revealed based on the analysis of Korean legacy and legislation, which are summarized as follows i) lack of clear detailed technical and legal guidance to determine the responsible party or parties of contaminated sites, ii) no distinction between the strict and non strict legal liability of innocent land owners, iii) no clearly set limit on retroactive legal liability. Comparison of the policies of countries chosen suggested improvements regarding these major problems as follows: i) activating national and international research on soil contamination prevention policy, ii) arranging distinct legal regulation between strict and non strict liability criteria, iii) establishing the limits on innocent and non strict liability, iv) establishing methodology and process of legal liability distribution and compensation, and v) establishing a legal process to redeem any benefit derived from remediation of contaminated sites with the public budget. Our policy suggestions above are not yet conclusive due to a lack of policy implementation simulation. Additional research is needed on aspects of social, economic and long term effects of the proposed policy directions. Nevertheless, application of the policy suggestions of this research would increase the efficacy of Korean policy regarding the survey and remediation of the potentially contaminated sites.
