  • Purpose - This aim of this study is to examine how conglomerates in Korea have evolved from the perspective of institutional economics. The growth of the economy, dominated by large conglomerates, is projected in light of the dynamic equilibrium between government and capitalists. Research design, data, and methodology - The historical formation of big business groups is examined in chronological order. For the analysis, we divide the assessment into three different eras: Japanese colonial rule, liberation up to the civil war, and the fast growing period since the military coup. Each period is viewed as a dynamic equilibrium that is shaped by economic agents. Results and Conclusion - Despite the rise of modern commerce during the colonial era, contemporary conglomerates came into being with the "enemy property" allotted by the government. Around the civil war, the government coexisted with prototype conglomerates through foreign aid. As the external aid decreased, the system could not be sustained anymore, thus the military coup took place. The reinstated strong bond between government and the conglomerates has shaped the forms of the modern conglomerates thereafter.

  • Besides the imposition of taxes and mandatory actions, why in a special rules needed in the contract between state and civilians. The contract between the state and civilian are unlike with civilian's contract in the comparable effect, even if the effect of the agreement and the parties bear the structural nature of the self-other agreement between private economic actors and there are a variety of different specificity. In other words, the agents of the contract with the state government for control of opportunistic behavior are very specific rules exist. Through this, even if it is the relationship between state and non-mandatory private realms of the contract, even if the area forced me to the fact that the difference can be confirmed. Representative of the government of the country to understand the delegate decisions and judgments and other opportunistic behavior always seem to exist on the possibility of such devices for the pre-control needed.

  • Aantifungal agents were tested against 30 clinical isolates of Cryptococcus neoformans var. neoformans using the NCCLS method(M27-A2). Posaconazole, itraconazole and amphotericin B had lower MIC than the remaining four antifungal agents. The MIC result for posaconazole was over 220-fold lower active than fluconazole. Fluconazole MICs for most isolates fell within the dose-dependant range. The overall MIC ranges and $MIC_{50}s$ were amphotericin B(0.03-0.25; 0.25), fluconazole(0.5-64; 16), itraconazole(0.015-1; 0.125), terbinafine(0.06->2; 1), caspofungin(8-32; 32), voriconazole(0.015-0.5; 0.25), and posaconazole(0.015-0.25; 0.06 ${\mu}g/ml$), respectively. In conclusion, the $MIC_{50}s$ of these drugs did not exhibit any sign of an upward shift with the exception of fluconazole and tendency cross-resistance between the seven drugs was not observed. We conclude that in vitro resistance to antifungal agents has not significantly changed despite the recent wide-spread use of triazoles for long-term treatment of Cryptococcal meningitis.

  • This study was carried out to investigate the prevalence and antimicrobial resistance patterns of Campylobacter jejuni isolated from duck feces. In total, 112 (32.9%) isolates of C. jejuni were identified from 430 duck feces samples from September to December, 2010. All isolates were susceptible to telithromycin, whereas majority of the C. jejuni isolates were resistant to azithromycin (18.8%), ciprofloxacin (86.6%), erythromycin (0.9%), gentamicin (15.2%), tetracycline (80.4%), florfenicol (3.6%), nalidixic acid (87.5%), clindamycin (7.1%). As a result, appropriate protocols for antimicrobial agents and strategies to reduce antimicrobial resistance will be needed in the future.

  • This study analyses interorganizational innovation networks empirically in the Korean biotechnology industry, based on systems of innovation approach. Empirical findings of this study are as follows. Innovation networks have not been well developed in the Korean biotechnology industry. Main agents who participate in innovation networks are workers at venture firms, university professors, researchers at government-sponsored research institutions. They all recognize the positive effects of innovation networks. The enhancement of participation willingness and competency of agents, the enrichment of trust and control among agents, and the effective acquisition of the useful technology and resources in innovation networks will largely contribute to development of innovation networks in the Korean biotechnology industry.

  • This study has two main purposes: to establish a list of source domains in the metaphors for Middle East respiratory syndrome (MERS) and to uncover ideological meanings embedded in them in Korean news reports from KBS and JTBC. The first part of this study presents metaphors such as [MERS IS WAR], [MERS IS WAVE], [MERS IS A LIVING THING], and [MERS IS A THING], which were found in the data. The latter part of this study deals with how the two broadcasting companies use these metaphors differently according to their ideologies. In the metaphor of [MERS IS WAR], KBS tends to show less of the agents who controls the war since the war against MERS has failed which casts responsibility to the controlling agents, the government and big hospitals. In this, KBS tries to present less of the information of the responsible agents that presented in JTBC. Through the metaphor of [MERS IS WAVE], KBS presents the aftermath of MERS as something not serious. Compared to JTBC, KBS tends to suggest that the aftermath of MERS is predominantly an economic effects by metaphorically suggesting that predominantly the economic sector got hit by MERS.

  • Many government agents are willing to provide better service to citizen via information technologies. This is called e-Government, and it needs a CMS to manage numerous contents. However, a CMS doesn't manage contents from the viewpoint of quality. In this research, the QCMS the system to manage contents by using information resource registry, is proposed. Information resource registry includes a flow chart and four matrices. Behavioral patterns of organizations and contents can be got from information resource registry. It makes a top manager understand the state of the business and make proper strategic decisions. The strategies can improve the business. Through the case of a public enterprise, we examine how the QCMS works and makes strategies from behavioral patterns of organizations and contents.

  • Advertising is a communication that aims to persuade you through communication. Local governments are enforcing a lot of budget for outdoor advertisements and exposing advertisements to various media. However, in the case of outdoor advertisements, advertisements are executed without considering the specificity of the exposure environment, so it is inferior to the budget input. Therefore, this study aims to help local advertisement agents, producers, and related parties by classifying components by combining video analysis methodology and video ad analysis methodology for effective message delivery and immersion in local outdoor advertising. As a discussion to provide an efficient production methodology for outdoor advertising video production in the future, it is an extension of exploratory research through content analysis.

  • The content of micro inorganic compounds in the 145 kinds of crude drugs on market was determined with Model 207 Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer and Model 306 Flameless A.A. Content of Fe, Cu, Ni, Mn, Cd, Cr, Sn, and Pb was examined and the results revealed that the crude drugs which are using as a hematics and emmenagogues contained high content of iron, and those which are using as a antiinflammatory and emmenagogues contained high content of copper. Aromatic stomachics contain manganese and zinc, and diuretics and antiinaflammatory agents do tin. High content of Ni was found in tonics, but chronium and cadmium were not detected in crude drugs. There were no differences of content of trace metals in the various site of plants used.
