Purpose: The advantages of corporate social responsibility (CSR) include stronger recognition and reputation, which lead to a company's good public image, increased customer loyalty, operational cost saving, and employee retention. The purpose of the present research is to take a close look at the association between CSR and organization's value. Research design, data and methodology: The authors tried to obtain the high-quality textual data from mostly peer-reviewed journals using a PRISMA ((Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses). The authors was to figure out adequate solutions from limited range of the current literature (only peer-reviewed research) regarding CSR and corporate value. Results: Our investigation indicates that CSR is essential to all businesses as it ensures they keep in touch with society, retaining top personnel, and achieving top financial success. Companies and organizations can engage in four corporate social responsibility initiatives to increase value, including environmental projects, charitable work, honest labor practices, and volunteer activity. Conclusions: An organizations should be involved in the community and consider how its actions affect the environment and society. Small or large businesses are expected to lead in developing a progressive CSR program that benefits people and the environment and continuously changes depending on the social and economic environment.

Based on the perspective of consumers and the method of value engineering, this paper uses "CSR expectation deviate level" to measure corporate social responsibility, and discusses the influence of corporate social responsibility on financial performance and its action path. This paper collected the questionnaire survey data of 878 consumers and the panel data of 98 listed companies from 2009 to 2012. The empirical results show that: (1) Consumers pay more attention to products and services, charity, environmental protection and their responsibilities to employees, and less attention to their responsibilities to shareholders or creditors and partners; (2) Corporate social responsibility is negatively correlated with financial performance, and corporate marketing ability plays a moderating role in it. That is, the smaller the gap between the level of corporate social responsibility fulfilled by enterprises and consumers' expectations, the better the financial performance of enterprises, which also reminds enterprises that they need to rationally allocate corporate social responsibility resources and constantly cultivate their own marketing capabilities, so as to better meet the level of corporate social responsibility expected by consumers. The value engineering method quantifies consumers' value perception of corporate social responsibility, which has a certain practical guiding role. Of course, there are some limitations in this paper, and future research can further explore the potential impact mechanism.

This study attempts to suggest a model on the factors of the experiential intent. We propose a model that includes (1) the entertainment, aesthetic, empathy, information as exogenous constructs, (2) utilitarian value and hedonic value, as mediating constructs (3) experiential intent, as endogenous construct. To test the model, we analyze the data using the LISREL structural modeling. The results of our analyses suggest, as expected, that program traits -entertainment, aesthetic, empathy, information- influence utilitarian value and hedonic value, in turn, utilitarian value and hedonic value influence the experiential intent. We conclude with a discussion of managerial implications, including the potential to advance understanding the factors of experiential intent on broadcast program.

This research examined how the experience factors and environmental factors of experience store impact the perceived value of the brand and whether the perceived value enhance revisit intention. We collected 258 survey responses and formed structural equation modeling. The results indicated that education experience and esthetics experience had positive impacts on emotional value, while entertainment experience had a positive impact on functional value. Among environment factors, lighting, employee service and layout of the store had positive impacts on functional value, while lighting and employee service had positive impacts on emotional value. Both of the functional value and emotional value enhanced the revisit intention of customers. The results of this study are expected to provide useful information about consumers to the companies managing offline experience stores.

Purpose - This study aims to verify whether the effect of tax avoidance on corporate value is non-linear in the Korean financial markets. Design/methodology/approach - This study believes that the cause of the inconsistent empirical analysis results of previous studies that verified the relationship between tax avoidance and firm value may be an error in assuming linearity, and verifies whether a nonlinear relationship exists. The sample company in this study is a December settlement corporation listed on the Korean stock market, and the analysis period is from 2000 to 2021. In the empirical analysis model, Tobin's Q is used as a proxy for corporate value, tax avoidance is used as the main independent variable, and a regression model is designed with corporate size, growth rate, and debt ratio set as control variables. Findings - As a result of the empirical analysis, it can be confirmed that there is an inverted U-shaped nonlinear relationship between tax avoidance and corporate value. In the additional analysis using Ohlson (1995) firm valuation model for the robustness of the results of the empirical analysis, the same nonlinear value relationship between tax avoidance can be confirmed. Research implications or Originality - This study is considered to be meaningful in that it verifies the non-linear relationship of tax avoidance, which has not been attempted in previous studies. The meaning of the inverted U-shaped nonlinear relationship presented in this study is that corporate tax avoidance acts as a factor that increases corporate value up to a certain level, but rather becomes a factor that decreases corporate value when it exceeds a critical point. These results are expected to provide new perspectives and perspectives on tax avoidance to companies belonging to the Korean capital market.

A total number of 20 cat samples including 8 parentage testing and 12 individual identification were genotyped. Genomic DNA was extracted from buccal swab, and genotyped by using 10 microsatellite markers (FCA005, FCA26, FCA224, FCA240, FCA453, FCA293, FCA075, FCA105, FCA229, and FCA651). This method consisted of single PCR procedure and showed reasonable amplification of all PCR products. Genotypes were determined by genetic analyzer. The number of alleles per locus of cats varied from 3 to 8 with a mean value of 5.5. Expected heterozygosity was ranged from 0.390 to 0.827 (mean 0.639) and the total exclusion probability of 10 microsatellite loci was 0.9441. Of the 10 markers, FCA240 marker has relatively high PIC value (>0.7). Of the 8 cats, 7 cats were qualified by compatibility according to the Mendelism. These results can give basic information for developing parentage verification and individual identification system in cat.

Humanity is facing a number of serious issues associated with increased energy consumption and environmental pollution. Various studies/guidelines concerning sustainable building construction have suggested solutions to these disastrous problems, including: net-zero energy buildings, the green building certification system, and others. Sustainability pursues three expected effects: environmental, social, and economic merits. Korean Green Building Council (K-GBC) has also announced the Korean Green Building Certification System (K-GBCS) since 2003 based on sustainability. Some positive social and environmental aspects of the K-GBCS have already been reported. However, it is somewhat difficult to verify its economic merits, which are crucial to ensuring the validity of the K-GBCS. This research aims to verify the economic merits of the eco-friendly Korean-style condominiums accredited by K-GBCS. Following this, the expected economic effectiveness of K-GBCS will be examined in terms of sustainability. The underlying assumption is that the potential economic effect should reflect the actual economic merits, and should reflect the value of the housing in particular. According to the analysis of the variance, it can be concluded the value of green certified buildings is statistically higher than the value of non-certified buildings. Furthermore, it was also observed that this tendency was more dominant in Gyeonggi Province than in the City of Seoul. This may be caused by one of the variables: the proximity to downtown. In future studies, this variable should be studied in greater detail.

The development of blockchain-based art trading platforms has not been revitalized despite the recent recovery of the cryptocurrency market. In this paper, we found that blockchain-based art trading platform is not revitalized due to the large volatility of cryptocurrency price. As a solution, we propose a trading system using dual types of cryptocurrency that one is Stablecoin and the other is legacy cryptocurrency. Through cryptocurrency dualization, the proposed system can satisfy both user's requirements of stability of art price and value growth of the blockchain system. In addition, the proposed system is expected to be able to balance the use of dual cryptocurrencies and market capitalization ratios according to market principles. Finally, the proposed cryptocurrency dualization is expected to be used in other applications that require both the stability of the value of transactions and the growth of the value of the blockchain system.

Image interpolation is a method of determining the value of new pixel coordinate in the process of image scaling. Recently, image contents are likely to be a large-capacity, interpolation algorithm is required to generate fast enhanced result image. In this paper, fast multiple mixed image interpolation for image resolution enhancement is proposed. The proposed method estimates expected 12 shortfalls from four sub-images of a input image, and generates the result image that is interpolated in the combination of the expected shortfalls with the input image. The experimental results demonstrate that PSNR increases maximum value of 1.9dB, SSIM increases maximum value of 0.052, and the subjective quality is superior to any other compared methods. Moreover, it is known by algorithm running time comparison that the proposed method has been at least three times faster than the compared conventional methods. The proposed method can be useful for application on image resolution enhancement.
