Using the SWOT-AHP method, this study identifies the priorities in the development of floating solar photovoltaics (PV) and suggests possible strategies. Our study analyzed the priorities in planning future solar PV strategies based on the opinions of 27 experts. Our results indicate that the government should expand support while emphasizing the benefit of floating solar PV in that it causes less environmental damage compared to onshore solar PV. In addition, the government should properly deal with the public-private conflict regarding the installation of floating solar PV. Floating solar PV itself has not reached a mature technological and institutional stage, but could be an option or alternative for saturated onshore solar PV facilities in Korea.

While corporate social responsibility (CSR) has been considered an important philanthropic support for nonprofits worldwide, little is known about how perceptions of CSR are associated with actual CSR practices that may benefit nonprofit organizations in different institutional contexts. This study applies stakeholder theory to examine how South Korean firms perceive CSR outcomes, and how these perceptions lead to different CSR practices. We constructed a panel dataset using two waves of the Giving Korea survey of CSR and two additional sources. The results indicate that perceived CSR outcomes may play a critical role in CSR practices: 1) the more financial performance is perceived as an outcome, the more will be donated; 2) the more organizational culture is perceived as an outcome, the greater the engagement in employee volunteering; and 3) the more reputation is perceived as an outcome, the more nonprofit organizations are supported. From the findings, we discuss theoretical implications and provide suggestions for nonprofit organizations.

건강보험은 국민의 건강을 보장하는 헌법적 과제를 실현하는 주축 수단이다. 건강보험의 과제를 살펴보기 위해서는 역사적으로 형성된 우리 건강보험의 특성, 건강보험 자체의 급여와 관련된 특성 및 규범적 특성을 이해하여야 한다. 우리 건강보험은 낮은 수준의 보편적 평등을 지향하였다. 이는 역설적으로 건강보험을 보편화하는 데 유리한 상황이 되었다. 건강보험의 과제는 포괄적이며, 적극적·개방적이다. 그러나 건강보험은 평균적 진료와 재정안정성을 유지하기 위하여 어느 정도 정형화된 진료의 종류와 내용 및 방법을 규범화하여야 한다. 건강보험은 한편으로는 이를 벗어나는 진료를 통제하여야 하지만, 다른 한편 진료의 필요성과 효과성을 기준으로 이를 보충하여야 한다. 그런데 이러한 두 요청은 일치할 수 없다는 구조적인 한계가 있다. 이 글은 위와 같은 건강보험의 특성을 기준으로 건강보험의 역사를 정리하고, 앞으로 남겨진 과제를 분석하고 개선과제를 제시하는 목적을 갖는다. 건강보험이 처한 새로운 상황에서 건강보험의 보장성을 부분적으로 강화하는 문제, 건강보험의 제도 및 재정위기의 구조적 문제, 건강보험에 특유한 거버넌스와 관련된 현재의 문제 및 개선방향을 제시하였다.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to conduct a systematic review to investigate the socio-economic benefits of the poison control center (PCC) and to assess whether telephone counseling at the poison control center affects the frequency of emergency room visits, hospitalization, and length of stay of patients with acute poisoning. Methods: The authors conducted a medical literature search of the PubMed, EMBASE, and Cochrane Library databases. Two reviewers evaluated the abstracts for eligibility, extracted the data, and assessed the study quality using a standardized tool. Key results such as the cost-benefit ratio, hospital stay days, unnecessary emergency room visits or hospitalizations, and reduced hospital charges were extracted from the studies. When meta-analysis was possible, it was performed using RevMan software (RevMan version 5.4). Results: Among 299 non-duplicated studies, 19 were relevant to the study questions. The cost-benefit ratios of PCC showed a wide range from 0.76 to 36 (average 6.8) according to the level of the medical expense of each country and whether the study included intentional poisoning. PCC reduced unnecessary visits to healthcare facilities. PCC consultation shortened the length of hospital stay by 1.82 (95% CI, 1.07-2.57) days. Conclusion: The systematic review and meta-analysis support the hypothesis that the PCC operation is cost-beneficial. However, when implementing the PCC concept in Korea in the future, it is necessary to prepare an institutional framework to ensure a costeffective model.

This paper attempts to review of recent development of ASEAN financial integration and to evaluate it and predict its future aspect. For this purpose, we first examine the historic aspect of ASEAN financial integration such as ASEAN financial service open agreement or ASEAN capital market forum report and currently agreed integration plan. In addition, we study the development stages of ASEAM member countries in terms of its economic size or income level. Finally, we look at the financial market and institutional aspect of ASEAN member countries and the recent development of global financial market. From these analyses, we find several important facts. First, it is true that ASEAN, in general, will enjoy the effect of expanding regional investment and improving the quality of financial service through the financial integration. We think that its long term benefit is too large for ASEAN member states to avoid. Second, as a result, it is certain that ASEAN will corporate further to make its financial market to be integrated in the future. Third, however, despite these benefits and continuing efforts, we expect that it will be very difficult for ASEAN to reach a stage of financial integration as suggested in the Blueprint of ASEAN Economic Community by the year of 2015. The large difference among member states in term of economic and financial development will not allow for them to reach a single goal within a short time. Instead, we expect the following scenario for the integration process will hold. First, ASEAN will reach an agreement on the institutional framework by 2015 and afterwards, slowly the markets will begin to integrate. Second, at the earlier stage, not all but some countries will start the integration process. We expect that the financial market of ASEAN 5 will first be integrated and other 5 will join to it later.

일반적으로 공공임대주택은 자원의 배분뿐만 아니라 복지의 분배에도 영향을 미친다. 본 연구에서는 우리나라의 공공임대주택에 대한 제도적 변화와 공공임대주택의 편익에 대해 설명해 보고자 한다. 기존의 많은 연구들은 동조적 선호체계를 고려하여 공공임대주택의 편익을 분석함으로써 공공임대주택에 따른 소득효과에 대해 명시적으로 고려하지 않았다. 이에 반해 본 연구는 비동조적 선호체계를 고려함으로써 공공임대주택에 따른 소득효과를 명시적으로 고려하였다. 이러한 선호체계를 바탕으로 시행한 분석 결과, 공공임대주택의 편익-비용 비율은 0.91을 기록하였으며, 이는 우리나라의 공공임대주택에 따른 사중손실(deadweight loss) 규모가 크지 않음을 반영한다고 볼 수 있다. 그러나 편익의 분포를 살펴보면 편익과 소득수준 간의 상관관계가 그리 높지 않아 공공임대주택의 궁극적인 목표계층인 저소득층에 대한 실질적인 혜택이 그리 크지 않은 것으로 나타났다.

Small ruminants form an important economic and ecological niche in small farm systems and agriculture. Their current low level of contribution is dismal, and is not commensurate with the potential capacity for higher levels of production. The context for productivity enhancement and increased socio-economic contribution relates to large sizes of small ruminant populations; wide distribution across various agro-ecological zones and production systems; and diversity of breeds, where 66% of all goat and 57% of sheep breeds in Asia are found in China, India and Pakistan. The advantages and disadvantages of small ruminants over larger ruminants are enumerated with reference to adaptation and environment, small size, production systems and products and interactions with the environment. Discussion focuses especially on efficiency of meat production and niche markets for higher-priced goat meat, and inefficient marketing systems given an estimated 40-45% loss of income to farmers presently. Increasing the quantity of meat produced is related to live weight and the total number of animals at Slaughter, which in turn, depend on the total number of offsprings weaned and lifetime productivity. At the national level, priority attention is essential to build up numbers in concerted breeding programmes, selection for efficiency of reproduction and meat production, and improvements to make traditional markets and marketing systems to respond to the changing environmental and consumer preferences. Post-production systems are neglected and improvements are associated with collection, handling, marketing, slaughter facilities and consumer requirements. Potential opportunities to expand and benefit from integrating small ruminants into annual and perennial cropping systems remain largely unexplored. Important development imperatives include choice of species and better use of available breeds, appropriate production systems that match available feed resources, and linkages between production, products and by-products to markets. Affirmative action is necessary, backed by official policy support, institutional commitment and increased resource use, that can target poverty and directly benefit the poor, and shift subsistence production to a more market-oriented opportunity. These efforts together constitute the challenges for both the owners and producers of small ruminants in the immediate future, as also the will to accelerate increased productivity, improve their livelihoods and promote rural growth.

Background: The prime output of Hospital Based Cancer Registries is stage and treatment based survival to evaluate patient care, but because of challenges of obtaining follow-up details a separate study on Patterns of Care and Survival for selected sites was initiated under the National Cancer Registry Programme of India. The results of stage and treatment based survival for head and neck cancers by individual organ sites are presented. Materials and Methods: A standardized Patient Information Form recorded the details and entered on-line at www.hbccrindia.org to a central repository - National Centre for Disease Informatics and Research. Cases from 12 institutions diagnosed between 1 January 2006 and 31 December 2008 comprised the study subjects. The patterns of treatment were examined for 14053 and survival for 4773 patients from five institutions who reported at least 70% follow-up as of 31 December 2012. Results: Surgical treatment with radiation for cancer tongue and mouth showed five year cumulative survival (FCS) of 67.5% and 60.4% respectively for locally advanced stage. Chemo-radiation compared to radiation alone showed better survival benefit of around 15% in both oro and hypo-pharyngeal cancers and their FCS was 40.0%; Hazard Ratio (HR):1.5;CI=1.2-1.9) and 38.7%; (HR):1.7; CI=1.3-2.2). Conclusions: The awareness about the requirement of concurrent chemo-radiation in specifically cancers of the oro and hypopharynx has to be promoted in developing countries. The annual (2014) estimate number of new Head and Neck cancers with locally advanced disease in India is around 140,000 and 91,000 (65%) patients do not receive the benefit of optimal treatment with ensuing poorer survival.

오늘날 주요 선진국들은 신안보 현실에 부응하여 형사특례 도입 등 관련 법제를 강화하고 있는 추세이다. 이러한 형사특례 절차를 마련하고 있는 것은 안보와 관련된 수사에서는 피의자의 인권이라도 어느 정도 제한할 수밖에 없다는 판단에서 출발한 것이다. 즉, 간첩, 테러 등 안보사범에 대해서 수사 절차를 다르게 적용하는 것은 개인적 보호법익보다는 국가의 법익과 사회적 법익을 우선으로 고려하여 어느 정도 한도에서는 감청을 허용하고 영장주의 예외를 허용하고 증거인멸과 더 큰 테러와 간첩행위에 의한 국가적 손실을 예방하기 위해 변호인 접견권을 제한하거나 테러 혐의자의 가택이나 사무실을 폭넓게 수색하도록 허용하고 있다. 이와 같이 안보사범의 처리에 있어 형사절차의 개선과 강화는 매우 중요하다. 하지만 우리나라는 선진국과 같이 예비와 음모죄를 강화하거나, 내수사 단계에서의 수사여건을 개선하는 등 적극적 노력보다는 일반 형사범의 처벌과정과 거의 차이가 없음을 알 수 있다. 이러한 분위기가 지속된다면 최근의 신안보 현실에서 국가적 위협요인에 대하여 효과적으로 대응하기 어렵다. 이를 개선하기 위해서는 선진국의 안보법제도를 고려하여 우리의 상황에 적절한 형사절차 등의 특례조항을 도입해야 한다. 이 논문에서는 국내 안보사례 분석을 통해 안보형사법제의 개선방안을 논의해 보았다.

국민기초생활보장법에 따라 2002년 시행되어 온 주거현물급여사업은 "주거급여법" 제정(2014.1.24.)으로 변화를 맞이하고 있다. 그동안 주거현물급여는 수급자 가구의 주거환경개선과 저소득층의 자활일자리 창출이라는 이중의 목표에 맞추어 13년간 사업이 시행되어 왔지만 각 지방자치단체에서의 이를 관리하고 시행하는데 따른 편차에 따라 사업의 효율성을 확보하는데 한계를 보였다. 이에 그동안 중추적인 역할을 담당했던 주거분야의 자활기업과 사업단의 매출액, 수익금의 변화와 새롭게 형성된 중앙 단위조직인 전국자활기업연합체가 향후 사업수혜자에 대한 만족도 향상과 제도변화에 따른 대응, 저소득층 일자리로서의 기능을 유지하는데 필요한 서비스 수준 향상 가능성과 사업관리체계의 변화요구에 대한 자기노력과 선도적 대응을 요청받고 있는 것 또한 사실이다. 이에 그동안의 주거현물급여사업에 대한 기존연구를 보완함과 동시에 새로운 제도 환경에 맞는 현장의 변화유인을 확인하고 그에 따른 대응을 검토하였다. 이를 위하여 첫째 전국자활기업이 저소득 대상에 대한 이해도 높은 특화된 서비스제공, 둘째 전국자활기업을 주거현물급여의 품질을 향상시키기 위한 전문화된 기관으로 전환 유도, 셋째 공급기관으로서의 수선유지에 대한 업무와 관련된 명시적인 지침의 제시를 통한 제도변화와의 조응, 마지막으로 사업수행과정프로세스에서의 일관된 기준과 절차적 표준화를 위한 혁신이 동반되어야 한다.
