Financial Intelligence Unit Law doesn't include investigation on important cases that could influence the security and existence of the nation that are the core jobs of national intelligence agency. So the agency has a difficulty to investigate the international crime of North Korea and other security incidents. It is also difficult to catch an international crime organization working in Korea. It also produces problems such as difficulty in investigating the illegal leak of strategic materials and investigating people related to illegal funding to international terrorism. So it is urgently needed to revise Financial Intelligence Law as soon as possible. Foreign intelligence agencies use the information of financial intelligence unit in many different ways. National Security Agency of China and Australian Security Intelligence Organization freely use the information of financial intelligence unit based on their own laws and systems. Central Intelligence Agency and Federal Bureau of Investigation of USA and Secret Intelligence Service and Security Service of Britain request financial intelligence units to supply them with the information of financial intelligence unit. But the national intelligence agency of Korea isn't able to approach to FIU and can't share the FIU information with foreign intelligence agencies. To solve the problem, they should revise Financial Intelligence Unit Law so that national intelligence agency can receive or request information from Korean Financial Intelligence Unit.

This study purposed to examine how emotional intelligence affect undergraduate students' personal agency beliefs. For the purpose, this study conducted a questionnaire survey of 446 undergraduate students in metropolitan area. Data were analyzed by t-test, Pearson's correlation, correlation analysis, and linear regression analysis. The results were as follows. The regulation of emotion of emotional intelligence and capability beliefs of personal agency beliefs were significantly different according to sex and others' emotion appraisal of emotional intelligence and capability beliefs of personal agency beliefs were significantly different according to school level. Also, the others' emotion appraisal of emotional intelligence and capability beliefs of personal agency beliefs were significantly different according to religion existence. There was a correlation between the emotional intelligence and personal agency beliefs. The others' emotion appraisal, regulation of emotion and use of emotion of emotional intelligence have an impact on personal agency beliefs including capability beliefs and context beliefs, the explanation concerning capability beliefs(47%) and context beliefs(22%) was persuasive. Therefore, when undergraduate students have to make career decision for their future, in order to encourage personal agency beliefs which are related to motivational factors, the consequence of emotional intelligence was verified. It is necessary to establish many kinds of supporting systems to encourage the emotional intelligence and personal agency beliefs.

The role of government is to defend its lands and people from enemies. The range of that defense has now extended into the cyber domain, regarded as the fourth domain of the conventional defense domains (i.e., land, sea, sky, and universe). Traditionally, a government's intelligence power overrides that of its civilians, and government is exclusively responsible for defense. However, it is difficult for government to take the initiative to defend in the cyber domain because civilians already have a greater means for collecting information, which is known as being "intelligence inverse" in the cyber domain. To this end, we first define the intelligence inverse phenomenon and then analyze its main features. Then we investigate foreign countries' efforts to overcome the phenomenon and look at the current domestic situation. Based on these results, we describe the appropriate role of the National Intelligence Agency to handle cyber threats and offer a cyber threat intelligence model to share with civilians to help protect against these threats. Using the proposed model, we propose that the National Intelligence Agency should establish a base system that will respond to cyber threats more effectively.

As the era of the 4th Industrial Revolution has progressed and the information and communication technologies have developed dramatically, the cyber threats will gradually become more intelligent and sophisticated. Therefore, in order to take systematic and prompt action in case of an accident while preparing measures against the threat, the role of intelligence agency is important. However, Korea is having difficulty in responding to the threats due to the lack of support for the national cybersecurity bill or the amendment bill of the National Intelligence Service. In this paper, I examine the cybersecurity function of the intelligence agency, the recent debate trends, and implications for the role of intelligence agency in our current situation. And then I intend to suggest some measures such as concentration on information gathering and analysis, enhancement of cyber threat prediction and response capacity, and strengthening of legal basis as a way to establish the role of intelligence agency for reinforcement of cybersecurity performance system.

With the development of artificial intelligence technology, competition for artificial intelligence technology patents around the world is intensifying. During the period 2000 ~ 2021, artificial intelligence technology patent applications at the US Patent and Trademark Office have been steadily increasing, and the growth rate has been steeper since the 2010s. As a result of analyzing Korea's artificial intelligence technology competitiveness through patent indices, it is evaluated that patent activity, impact, and marketability are superior in areas such as auditory intelligence and visual intelligence. However, compared to other countries, overall Korea's artificial intelligence technology patents are good in terms of activity and marketability, but somewhat inferior in technological impact. While noise canceling and voice recognition have recently decreased as topics for artificial intelligence, growth is expected in areas such as model learning optimization, smart sensors, and autonomous driving. In the case of Korea, efforts are required as there is a slight lack of patent applications in areas such as fraud detection/security and medical vision learning.

Understanding and monitoring virus-mediated infections has gained importance since the global outbreak of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. Studies of high-throughput omics-based immune profiling of COVID-19 patients can help manage the current pandemic and future virus-mediated pandemics. Although COVID-19 is being studied since past 2 years, detailed mechanisms of the initial induction of dynamic immune responses or the molecular mechanisms that characterize disease progression remains unclear. This study involved comprehensively collected biospecimens and longitudinal multi-omics data of 300 COVID-19 patients and 120 healthy controls, including whole genome sequencing (WGS), single-cell RNA sequencing combined with T cell receptor (TCR) and B cell receptor (BCR) sequencing (scRNA(+scTCR/BCR)-seq), bulk BCR and TCR sequencing (bulk TCR/BCR-seq), and cytokine profiling. Clinical data were also collected from hospitalized COVID-19 patients, and HLA typing, laboratory characteristics, and COVID-19 viral genome sequencing were performed during the initial diagnosis. The entire set of biospecimens and multi-omics data generated in this project can be accessed by researchers from the National Biobank of Korea with prior approval. This distribution of large-scale multi-omics data of COVID-19 patients can facilitate the understanding of biological crosstalk involved in COVID-19 infection and contribute to the development of potential methodologies for its diagnosis and treatment.

Major countries, such as the U.S., UK and Germany have reformed their national intelligence systems in the face of transnational, asymmetric and comprehensive threats since September 11, 2001 and have strengthened the intelligence capacity involved in countering terrorism and WMD proliferation, right/left extremism threats. The Korean Moon Jae-in government is preparing a reform plan to eliminate illegal political intervention and abuse of power by the National Intelligence Service(NIS) and to rebuild it as an efficient national intelligence agency for national security. In discussing the reform direction of the NIS, it is necessary to discuss in detail whether adopting a separate model of intelligence agencies to restrict domestic intelligence activities of the NIS and concentrate on foreign intelligence activities or establish new domestic intelligence agencies. Second, as for the issue of transferring anti-Communism investigation authority of the NIS to the police, it needs to be carefully considered in terms of balancing the efficiency and professionalism of intelligence agency activity in the context of North Korea's continuous military provocation, covert operations and cyber threats. Third, it should strive to strengthen the control and supervision functions of the administration and the National Assembly to ensure the political neutrality of the NIS in accordance with the democratization era, to guarantee citizens' basic rights and to improve the transparency of budget execution.
