This survey was carried out to investigate the utilization situation of fire-wood boiler by the questionnaire and personal interview on rural and mountain households of Gangwon province from 1998 to 2005. The questionnaire include 7 questions on installation, 7 questions on fuel, 3 questions on use, and 3 questions on improvement. Each question was analyzed by percentage to investigate the use situation. This survey indicated that the general problems in use of fire-wood boiler are fuel purchase, collection and transportation, that the development of the household heating boiler using wood-based forming fuel which is cheap, small volume, easy handling, convenient purchase and high heat efficiency could be an alternative to improve the problems and that the continuous expansion of the supply of fire-wood boiler can prevent the devastation of forest through the regulation of imprudent fuel supply. Although the financial aid plan on the installation of fire-wood boiler is in active, many petty households in rural and mountain areas lose a chance to install the fire-wood boiler due to the unsatisfactory information. Thus, it will be desirable for municipal government to prepare the information plan to offer the equal chance and condition to all households in rural and mountain areas and to increase the financial aid for the continuous supply of fire-wood boiler.

Purpose - This paper analyzes the student determinants of college non-completion and estimates the effects of each determinant on college non-completion. Design/methodology/approach - We use student panel data from a large Korean university from 2011 to 2021. Our results are from estimation of fixed-effects logit model. Findings - The results show that grade point average, participation in extracurricular activities, the number of counseling sessions with teachers, and financial aid are the main determinants of college non-completion. Academic probation, which is defined as any person who has a cumulative grade point average below a one point seven five, increases the non-completion rate by 2.6 percentage points and an one-point rise in extracurricular activities index reduces the rate by 0.1 percentage points. The effects of each determinant are heterogeneous across student sub-groups which are separated by gender, nationality, and academic discipline. Research implications or Originality - Tailored support programs for academically discouraged students that incorporate student characteristics and backgrounds are necessary to increase college completion rates and degree attainment.

본 연구는 전국 및 시도별로 결핵 사망률의 의료보장 유형에 따른 차이를 분석하고 관련 요인을 파악하기 위해 시행되었고 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 의료급여 대상자는 건강보험 가입자에 비해 결핵 사망률이 5.6배가 높으며 남자에서는 6.3배, 여자에서는 3.8배 높아 의료보장 유형별 결핵 사망률비는 남자에서 더 높은 것으로 나타났다. 또한 각 연령군에서의 의료보장 유형별 결핵 사망률비는 30대, 40대, 50대의 장년층에서 가장 높은 것으로 나타났으며 이러한 경향은 남자와 여자 모두 비슷하였다. 시도별 의료보장 유형별 결핵 사망률 차이는 광역자치단체마다 다른 양상을 보였다. 이러한 차이에 영향을 미치는 변수로는 재정자립도, 인구밀도, 보건소당 관할 인구수, 백만명당 병원수, 의료급여 대상자 비율로 나타났다. 본 연구 결과를 종합하여 볼 때 의료급여 대상 결핵 환자들의 결핵관리에 문제가 있으며 특히 의료급여 대상자의 중장년 계층 결핵관리가 취약하고 이는 지역별로 차이가 있음을 알 수 있었다. 그리고 인구밀도가 높고 의료급여 대상자가 적은 비율로 있으며 재정자립도가 높은 대도시지역 일수록 건강보험 가입자에 비해 의료급여 대상자의 결핵 사망률의 격차가 높은 것으로 나타나 이들의 결핵관리 실태에 대한 보다 체계적이고 정밀한 연구가 추후 필요할 것으로 판단된다.

Purpose - The purpose of this paper is to empirically investigate the effectiveness of Offcial Development Assistance (ODA) in recipient countries' economy. ODA is designed to mitigate poverty and stimulate economic growth in the developing countries. We classify total ODA into bilateral ODA and multilateral ODA depending on the number of donor countries. If the ODA flows from one donor country to one recipient country, it is classified as bilateral ODA. If the multiple countries simultaneously become donor countries through the international organizations such as United Nations and World Bank, it is classified as multilateral ODA. This paper compares the effect of bilateral ODA and multilateral ODA in determining recipient countries' economic development, and tries to provide policy implications to Korean ODA. Research design, data, and methodology - Our primary explanatory variables are bilateral and multilateral ODA. Private credit in recipient countries is adopted as additional explanatory variables to capture the level of financial development in recipient countries. We measure the ODA effectiveness using economic growth and quality of life of the recipient countries as the dependent variable. We collect 142 recipient countries' data from OECD statistics, during the period from 1970-2014. Panel least squares estimation with country fixed effect is employed as the empirical model. Results - Our results support that ODA variable has a negatively significant impact on recipient countries' economic growth, while it is positively correlated with human development index. Recipient countries' private credit is positively correlated with economic growth and human development index. The interaction variable of ODA and financial development turns out to be significant in general. We find that the positive effect of ODA depends on recipient countries' financial market development and this effect is stronger in multilateral aid than bilateral one. Conclusions - From the analysis, we have confirmed that the recipient countries financial development is the necessity condition to achieve positive effect of ODA. Based on these results, we suggest that Korean government should increase the share of multilateral funding and pay attention to recipient countries' financial market development to maximize the effectiveness of ODA.

Using data from the 2001 American Housing Survey, the purpose of this study is to profile the economic and socio-demographic characteristics of baby boomers according to housing down payment sources and to identify determinants of housing down payment sources among baby boomers. Results of the multinomial logistic regression analysis indicated that household income, housing value, age, education, gender, marital status, race, and geographic region were all significant determinants of housing down payment sources among baby boomers. Identification of factors affecting the occurrence of borrowing for housing down payment would aid in the development of financial education programs for baby boomer households.

This paper describes how industry has responded to the environmental challenge. Benefits include compliance with environmental legislation; genuine reductions to environmental impact; sustainable improvements to profitability in the face of increased competitive pressure. National and international Standards for environmental management offer security and direction for a company wishing to improve environmental performance and coupled with a waste minimisation strategy many financial and environmental benefits can be achieved. Introduction of new technical skills, techniques and worker understanding to aid motivation is an essential component of such a strategy. Monitoring and targeting has a key role to play in the establishment of improved environmental performance.

도서관의 환경은 급변하는 사회의 환경에 비례해서 변화하고 있으며, 이 변화는 결국 이용자의 다양한 요구와 도서관 서비스의 향상으로 귀착된다. 도서관서비스의 향상은 자료의 다양화와 계속되는 새로운 과학기술과 장비의 발달로 인해 예산의 증액 없이는 거의 불가능하다. 그러므로 도서관은 한정된 예산 이외의 재원을 개발하는 방법을 모색해야하며, 이의 해결방안은 도서관이 적극적으로 개인이나 기업의 기부금이나 후원금을 찾아 나서는 것이다. 후원, 기부제도가 생활화되지 못한 우리의 환경에서 우리에게 맞는 도서관 재원확보방안을 위해 후원기금의 역사, 후원의 도서관 법적 배경, 실태, 후원기금의 확보과정과 특히 선진국에서 개발한 후원기금의 모금방법을 살펴보았다.

As the Jordanian government is in the process of implementing accrual-based IPSAS, this study aims to provide academics' perspectives on the effective implementation of accrual-based IPSAS in Jordan to authorities and regulators. The findings of a survey of 124 accounting professors at Jordanian institutions reveal that adopting accrual-based IPSAS will aid in presenting the realistic financial status of governmental bodies, with various advantages to adopting accrual-based IPSAS (e.g., enhance assets and liabilities management, decision-making process, transparency, expenditures management). On the other side, we discovered that change is met with reluctance because the majority of public-sector accountants are untrained and unqualified to apply the accrual-based IPSAS. Another main challenge is the cost of implementing the accrual-based IPSAS in the Jordanian public sector is very high. To address these issues, employees should be motivated by providing suitable training programs, reward systems, and top management support and commitment to a successful transition. Finally, we suggested that Jordanian governments commit to using IPSAS in the public sector to increase residents' socioeconomic advantages. Public sectors should implement IPSASs for improved management, transparency in financial reporting, accountability, and regulatory and supervisory agencies.
