The results of analyzing the questionnaires with 119 emergency staffs working in Gwangju and Jeonnam region are as follows. 1. The whole stress score was mean 2.94 and the degree of stress from personal relationship was highest as 3.22. 2. There were significant differences in possession of qualification related to public health and medical treatment (F=3.090, p=.030) in service factors, total career of emergency staffs (F=2.979, p=.023) in working environment factors, age (F=2.835, p=.042) and sex (F=2.375, p=.019) in social position factors, possession of medical qualification (F=3.995, p=.010) and household account burden (F=2.777, p=.045) in personal relationship factors. 3. There were correlations (p=.475) between working environment factors and social position (p<0.01) and correlations (p=.508) between working environment factors and personal relationship factors (p<0.01). There was correlation (p=.415) between social position and personal relationship factors(p<0.01). More concrete research that examines whether current fire station operation system is desirable or not by comparing the degree of stress of the whole 119 emergency staffs in Korea is needed and it is considered that real allowance level should be secured to reduce their stresses and facility and guarantee system to satisfy their demands for welfare are required.

The author Nakajima was involved in the field of disaster communications and emergency medical care as guest research scientist at the Fukushima Nuclear Accident Independent Investigation Commission established by the National Diet of Japan and reviewer of the Commission's report, and Kurokawa was the chairman of this Commission. Looking back over a decade, we are on the liability issue of bureaucrats and telecom operators, so it's becoming clear what was hidden at the time. The battery of NTT DoCoMo's mobile phone repeaters had a capacity of only about 24 hours, and communication failures increased after one day. The Government also failed to issue an announcement of "Vent from reactor" under the Telecommunications Act Article No. 129. This mistake lost the opportunity to use the third-party telecommunications (e.g. taxi radios). Furthermore, as a result of LASCOM (telecommunications satellite network for local governments via GEO) and a variety of unexpected communication failures, the evacuation order "Escape!" could not be notified to the general public well. As a result, the general public was exposed to unnecessary radiation exposure. Such bureaucratic slow action in emergencies is common in the response to the 2020 coronavirus.

Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to examine the recent resurgence of popularism and the possible impacts it may have on contemporary business and economics. Research design, data and methodology: This is an exploratory case study that examines the rise of popularism and identifies and analyzes the likely implications for contemporary business and economics. Results: Although populists tend to reject elitism, capitalism, economic globalization, and political establishment, their ethnocentric behavior is no different from those of the corrupt political and economic elites. Popularism does enable nationalism and protectionism and negatively impacts business and economic growth. Conclusions: Popularism existed for a long time, and this phenomenon will continue to exist as long as a triggered mechanism exist, e.g., income inequality, resurgence of immigration, recession, insufficient factors of resources and social welfare. The recent rise of popularism is not a fad or a short-lived anti-establishment and anti-elitism movements but, rather, a force to be reckoned with in the near future. The rise of economic nationalism limits international trade, integration, and cooperation. As a result, international capital, service, and product flows will decline, and countries and multinational corporations have to develop and restructure their international supply and value chain to cope with this phenomenon.

Purpose - The purpose of this paper is to analyze and illustrate Amazon's business strategies and its success in terms of its distribution strategy and business practices. Research design, data, and methodology - This is an analytical case study that examines Amazon's business strategies to demonstrate the importance of technologies to the success and sustainability of its organization. Results - The analysis indicates that the business strategies, including technology, distribution infrastructure, and customer service, are the most vital factor for the success and rise of Amazon, and these strategies have separated Amazon from its competitors in both e-tail and brick and mortar retail industries. Conclusions - Given Amazon's continued growth that came with its constant strive for delivery and cost efficiency, technology innovation, and customer satisfaction, it was inevitable that Amazon would eventually venture into different types of businesses. The previous and current Amazon's business strategies demonstrate that Amazon will continue to focus on developing and implementing new and creative strategies to separate itself from the rest of the retail and e-businesses. Furthermore, retail businesses in the most high-tech countries in the world, including Japan, Korea, and Russia, may have to adopt business strategies that are similar to those of Amazon to maintain their competitiveness.

This paper describes the ground system for COMS (Communication, Ocean, and Meteorological Satellite), the first Korean multi-purposed geostationary satellite, at MSC (Meteorological Satellite Center) in Korea. The overview of COMS MI (Meteorological Imager) will be introduced as well. KMA would implement mission planning for COMS MI operation and receive, process, interpret, disseminate, and archive MI data operationally for domestic and foreign user groups. Major missions of COMS MI are mitigation of natural hazard such as typhoon, dust storm, and heavy rain, and short-term warning of severe weather to protect human health and commerce. Moreover, research of climate variability and long-term changes will be supported. In accordance with those missions, the concept and design of COMPASS (COMS operation and meteorological products application service system), the ground system for COMS MI in MSC, have been setting up since 2004. Currently, COMPASS design is being progressed and will have finished the end of 2006. The development of COMPASS has three phases: first phase is development of fundamental COMPASS components in 2007, second phase is to integrate and test all of the COMPASS components in 2008, and the last phase is to operate COMPASS after COMS In-Orbit Tests in 2009.

This study investigated optimal extraction conditions for application of Hippophae rhamnoides leaves as a natural antioxidant. Hippophae rhamnoides leaves were extracted using ethanol at various concentrations (0, 30, 50, and 70%) and extraction times (4, 8, and 12 hrs) at $70^{\circ}C$ and then evaluated for extraction yield (22.51%), total phenolic contents (84.21~149.25 mg/g), total flavonoid contents (63.10~124.14 mg/g), as well as antioxidant activities DPPH, ABTS radical scavenging activity, reducing power, and FRAP. Antioxidant activities (DPPH, ABTS radical scavenging activity, reducing power) were correlated with total phenolic and flavonoid contents. 70% EtOH extracts for 12 h at $70^{\circ}C$ showed the highest total phenolic and flavonoid contents with strong antioxidant activities, and that the leaves of Hippophae rhamnoides could be considerd as a candidate of new functional antioxidant agents. This extract could be a good source for natural antioxidants and good health food. This work offers would be useful for chemical and biological studies of natural plants and its products.

The aim of this study was to investigate bioactive compounds from three domestic tomato varieties (Rafito, Momotaro TY Winner, and Medison). Lycopene, ${\beta}-carotene$ and polyphenols were quantified and identified using HPLC and LC-MS/MS. The levels of lycopene ranged from 28.36 mg/100 g to 60.18 mg/100 g. The content of ${\beta}-Carotene$ ranged from 2.00 mg/100 g to 2.92 mg/100 g. Ten kinds of polyphenol compounds were identified: caffeic acid-hexose isomer (I), caffeic acid-hexose isomer (II), 3-caffeoylquinic acid, 5-caffeoylquinic acid, caffeoylquinic acid isomer, quercetin-3-apiosylrutinoside, quercetin-3-rutinoside, di-caffeoylquinic acid, tri-caffeoylquinic acid, and naringenin chalcone. The level of 5-caffeoylquinic acid was the highest in domestic tomato varieties, ranging from 12.71 mg/100 g to 28.40 mg/100 g. The content of quercetin-3-rutinoside ranged from 3.74 mg/100 g to 17.64 mg/100 g. The contents of 3-caffeoylquinic acid and quercetin-3-apiosylrutinoside were 1.01~2.31 mg/100 g and 5.84~6.83 mg/100 g, respectively. Arrestingly naringenin chalcone was found only in Medison variety (36.82 mg/100 g). These results revealed that domestic tomato can be a good source of bioactive compounds for human health.

Many social and environmental changes have emerged due to the increasing size of the aging generation. This study explored the current status of the information leisure activity of the aging generation (computer use activity, internet service participation, social community participation and blogging, UCC, etc.) and the need for serious games among elderly consumers. It analyzed the current status of serious game and information leisure span as determined by experts on elderly care at the aging welfare institute. The research methods involved applying content analysis and focus group interviews. The results were as follows: The elderly are willing to enjoy the internet and economics networks. In particular, economic investment, economic news, health, meetings, and communication are the main internet search categories. The results for serious games are less interesting than those for IT participation. The components of usefulness in terms of serious games, as identified by care experts, are simplicity, a user-friendly interface, efficacy, and certainty in using the game device. Care experts recognize that serious games represent a supplementary device to traditional physical and emotional therapy.
