  • As Indonesia is rich in natural resources, nuclear power remains a low priority among energy alternatives. However, Indonesia needs to introduce nuclear power to improve the atmospheric environment and to support sustainable economic growth. This study conducted a two-stage survey of logit-probit and analytic hierarchy process to analyze the perception of Indonesian energy policymakers regarding the introduction of nuclear power, the potential for change, and key decision factors. The analysis confirms that the perception of nuclear power is positive and that the willingness to expand nuclear power can improve if negative conditions, such as underdeveloped technology level, foreign aid and assistance, and safety issues are addressed. In addition, it is confirmed that the policy makers consider political/social and environmental factors to be more important for decision-making. The results of this study can give inplications and be used as a key reference for Indonesia's nuclear power policy

  • 수소에너지는 비고갈성 청정에너지로 향후 탄소기반의 에너지 시스템을 대체할 에너지로 주목받고 있다. 정부의 장기적인 비전도 수소에너지의 최종에너지 수요 비중을 2040년까지 15%로 확대한다는 것이나 이를 달성하기 위해서는 200조 원이 넘는 엄청난 비용이 수반된다. 본 연구는 동태 CGE 모형을 적용하여 수소에너지 보급에 따라 한국경제에 어떤 영향을 미칠 것인지를 분석하였다. 프런티어 기술로서 수소에너지는 학습효과와 에너지원간 상보성(complementarity)의 영향으로 정부지원 없이는 2040년 기준으로 최종에너지 수요의 6.5%에 그칠 전망이나 정부가 수소에너지에 대해 각각 10%, 20%, 30%의 가격보조 정책을 실시할 경우 9.2%, 15.2%, 37.7%로 증가할 것으로 분석되었다. 즉, 정부개업을 통해 수소기술 확산 지연 현상이 크게 완화될 수 있음을 보여주는 것이다. 한편 수소기술의 주요 응용분야인 수송부문의 성장이 두드러지나 수송 연료의 대부분을 차지하는 석유가 수소에너지로 대체됨으로써 석유부문에 대한 소비가 감소하고, 발전부문의 비중도 감소하는 것으로 나타났다. 정부의 가격보조가 가계소득에서 충당되는 것으로 가정했기 때문에 가격하락에 의한 소비증가효과가 소득감소에 따른 소비감소에 의해 상쇄되면서 가계의 최종소비도 부정적 영향을 받는 것으로 분석되었다. 그러나 전반적인 생산, 투자, 수출 증가에 힘입어 GDP 수준은 소폭 성장하다가 2040년 무렵에 소폭 감소하여 경제 전반에 미치는 영향은 미미할 것으로 분석되었다.

  • This study sees the past, present and future of the international carbon market. It is expected that it is not until 2020 and beyond before the international carbon market is settled by international consensus, and it is too early to picture the international carbon market at this point. Instead, this study focuses on analyzing the content of Article 6 of the Paris Convention, being fully aware of the uncertainties surrounding the international carbon market and can only be a step in determining the future of the international carbon market. In the future, the international negotiations will be under fierce competition of countries, each of which aims to make their advantageous system or mechanism recognized internationally Therefore, it is necessary for Korea to devise a system that can maximize the national interest and try to be recognized in the international society. To accomplish this, the following tasks are required at the present stage. First, we need to include the basic directions for the reduction using the international carbon market in the preparation of the roadmap for GHG reduction in Korea. Based on the directions presented in the roadmap for reducing GHG emissions, Korea should set up a government-wide plan on the international carbon market. In addition, a long-term TF should be formed to enact such plans in the international community. The international carbon market is an issue that several professional fields overlap, and it is indeed difficult to pursue by a single ministry. Therefore, it is necessary to create and strengthen the TF that can cope immediately with the international movement.

  • This study was performed to evaluate served menu in Korean temples. Among available temples in the nation, 34 temples were carefully selected considering location and the gender characteristics. A five consecutive day menu was collected to analyse by interview between Jan 2004 and Aug 2004. Mean energy content of menu was 1633.8 kcal, with 67.3% of energy supplied by carbohydrate, 14.8% by protein and 17.9% by fat. Beans and bean products were the major contributing dishes for most nutrients. Contents of most nutrients except energy, protein and vitamin B were higher than RDA. Nutrient adequacy ratio (NAR) were 0.9-1.0 and mean adequacy ratio (MAR) was 0.9 for temples. Total number of dishes from menu was 7.3. Dietary variety score (DVS) was 26.4 and buddhist monk temples offered more diverse foods than buddhist nun temples. KDQI (Korean diet Quality Index), overall diet quality index were 0.67 and those of buddhist nun temples were better than those of buddhist monk temples. From the result of this study it was concluded that the temple diet is nutritionally well balanced, rich in dietary fiber and low in cholesterol. So it can be a healthy diet for the modern person. This is the very first study attempting the nationwide investigation of temple diet in Korea. It will be used as fundamental data to improve quality of diet to prevent modern chronic disease.

  • 저렴한 농사용 전력 요금으로 인한 농업 부문 전력 과소비, 에너지의 전력 의존도 증가, 전력 생산성 저하, 교차보조의 증가 등 부작용들이 심화되고 있다. 더구나, 저렴한 전기 요금의 혜택이 영세농이 아닌 기업농에 집중되고 있으며, 최근에는 가상통화 채굴에 농사용 전기가 불법 사용되는 사례가 늘고 있다. 본 연구는 이러한 부작용을 분석하고, 로그평균 디비지아 지수법(LMDI)을 이용하여 1988-2016년 농사용 전력 소비량 증가를 성장, 구조 변화, 에너지 집약도 변화 등 세 가지 요인으로 구분하여 각 요인별 영향을 추정한다. 본 연구는 현행 농사용 전력요금 정책이 여러 가지 부작용을 낳고 국가 에너지 수입 부담을 가중시키며 온실 가스 배출 증가 억제에 부정적인 만큼 근본적인 변화가 시급함을 알려준다.

  • Purpose - Urban agglomeration construction is one of national strategic plans to accelerate the development of industrialization and urbanization in China, which has threatened the eco-environmental quality at the same time. This paper selected the urban agglomeration in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River as the research area. Research design, data, and methodology - The the slack-based measurement (SBM) model considering undesirable outputs is applied to measure the eco-efficiency of this urban agglomerations during 2006-2015. Results - The empirical results show that average eco-efficiency of the urban agglomeration in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River is 0.595. Regional ecological development is unbalanced. The highest eco-efficiency is recorded at Wuhan Metropolitan Area, and the lowest one is at the Changsha-Zhuzhou-Xiangtan City Group. Energy consumption and waste dust emissions are the key factors led to ecological inefficiency. Based on this, potentials for energy saving and waste dust reducing are calculated. Conclusions - Finally, this study provides policy implications targeted to promote the coordinating development of economy and eco-environment under the construction of urban agglomeration.

  • A untrition survey of early childhood was undertaken among 102 rural young children, aged 3 to 6, attending three day care centers of Hongcheon-gun, Kangwon province, in July of 1987, to investigate dietary and nutritional status. The results were obtained as follows: Mean values of height and arm circumference ranged from 96 to 97% of the KSRI's standards. However, mean value of weight met 91% of that standard. Mean value of hematocrit was 37.3±3.5%. According to the criterion established by the WHO, 3% of the subjects were proven to be anemic. Mean value of urinary urea nitrogen/creatinine ratio was 13.8±7.6; the higher the age lower the ratio was shown. Intake of energy and nutrients ranged from 63 to 88% of the RDAs. Carbohydrate provided 68% of total energy intake; protein accounted for 14%; fat provided 18%. Energy intake was divided among breakfast, lunch supper and snacks in a percentage ratio of 21:35:26:18. The survey clarified that the day care feeding largely supplemented the inadequate dietary intakes of these young children at home. Family factors, anthropometric measurements, biochemical results were positively correlated with nutrient intakes. Authors with this study can be contributed, as a reference, to develop the community nutrition programs as well as improving the quality of day care feeding.

  • Competitive indirect enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (Ci-ELISA) was used to obtain the preliminary data for the detection of irradiated beef. Ci-ELISA was individually formatted with polyclonal antibodies produced from 2 kinds of bovine proteins, myosin and bovine serum albumin (BSA). Beef round, loin and tender loin were vacuum-packaged and subdivided into 3 groups of 1) irradiation; 2) irradiation and chilled at 4$^{\circ}C$ for 7 day; 3) irradiation and frozen at 2$0^{\circ}C$ for 2 months to observe the changes under different storage and/or distribution conditions. Irradiation was performed at 3, 5 and 7 kGy. Protein solutions prepared from the sample were tested by formatted Ci-ELISA. Detected concentrations of myosin and BSA decreased with the increased irradiation dose in all samples with different reduction rates. Myosin was more susceptible to freezing than BSA. Samples irradiated at 5 kGy or above could be differentiated from non-irradiated ones by Ci-ELISA. These results indicate that immunological assay can be used as a detection method for irradiated beef.
