  • Seedlot disinfection techniques to control mung bean sprout rot caused by Colletoricum acutatum and C. gloeosporioides were evaluated for commercial production scheme. Soaking seedlots in propolis (100 X) and ethanol (20% for 30 min) appeared promising with control values of 85.5 and 80.8 respectively, but still resulted in up to 20% rot incidence. None of the C. acutatum conidia survived through hot water immersion treatment (HWT) for 10 min at temperatures of 55, 60 and $65^{\circ}C$, whereas the effective range of the dry heat treatment (DHT) was $60-65^{\circ}C$. Tolerance of mung bean seedlot, as estimated by hypocotyl elongation and root growth, was lower for HWT than for DHT. Germination and growth of sprouts were excellent over the range of $55-65^{\circ}C\;at\;5^{\circ}C$ intervals, except for HWT at $65^{\circ}C$ for 5 min. At this marginal condition, heat damage appeared so that approximately 2% of seeds failed to sprout to normal germling and retarded sprouts were less than 5% with coarse wrinkled hypocotyls. These results suggested that DHT would be more feasible to disinfect mung bean seedlots for commercial sprout production. Heat treatment at above ranges was highly effective in eliminating the epiphytic bacterial strains associated with marketed sprout rot samples. HWT of seedlot at 55 and $60^{\circ}C$ for 5 min resulted in successful control of mung bean sprout rot incidence with marketable sprout quality. DHT at 60 and $65^{\circ}C$ for 30 min also gave good results through the small-scale sprouting system. Therefore, we optimized DHT scheme at 60 and $65^{\circ}C$ for 30 min, considering the practical value of seedlot disinfection with high precision and accuracy. This was further proved to be a feasible and reliable method against anthracnose incidence and those bacterial strains associated with marketed sprout rot samples as well, through factory scale mung bean sprout production system.

  • A 3${\times}$4 factorial field experiment with a complete randomised split-plot design with four replicates was conducted from June 2002 to March 2003 at the experimental farm of the Nong Lam University, Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, to determine effects of different harvesting heights (10, 30 and 50 cm above the ground) and cutting intervals (45, 60, 90 and 285 days) on yield of foliage and tubers, and chemical composition of the foliage. Cassava of the variety KM 94 grown in plots of 5 m${\times}$10 m at a planting distance of 30 cm${\times}$50 cm was hand-harvested according to respective treatments, starting 105 days after planting. Foliage from the control treatment (285 days) and all tubers were only harvested at the final harvest 285 days after planting. Dry matter and crude protein foliage yields increased in all treatments compared to the control. Mean foliage dry matter (DM) and crude protein (CP) yields were 4.57, 3.53, 2.49, and 0.64 tonnes DM $ha^{-1}$ and 939, 684, 495 and 123 kg CP $ha^{-1}$ with 45, 60, 90 and 285 day cutting intervals, respectively. At harvesting heights of 10, 30 and 50 cm the DM yields were 4.27, 3.67 and 2.65 tonnes $ha^{-1}$ and the CP yields were 810, 745 and 564 kg $ha^{-1}$, respectively. The leaf DM proportion was high, ranging from 47 to 65%. The proportion of leaf and petiole increased and the stem decreased with increasing harvesting heights and decreasing cutting intervals. Crude protein content in cassava foliage ranged from 17.7 to 22.6% and was affected by harvesting height and cutting interval. The ADF and NDF contents of foliage varied between 22.6 and 30.2%, and 34.2 and 41.2% of DM, respectively. The fresh tuber yield in the control treatment was 34.5 tonnes $ha^{-1}$. Cutting interval and harvesting height had significant negative effects on tuber yield. The most extreme effect was for the frequent foliage harvesting at 10 cm harvesting height, which reduced the tuber yield by 72%, while the 90 day cutting intervals and 50 cm harvesting height only reduced the yield by 7%. The mean fresh tuber yield decreased by 56, 45 and 27% in total when the foliage was harvested at 45, 60 and 90 day cutting intervals, respectively. It is concluded that the clear effects on quantity and quality of foliage and the effect on tuber yield allow alternative foliage harvesting principles depending on the need of fodder for animals, value of tubers and harvesting cost. An initial foliage harvest 105 days after planting and later harvests with 90 days intervals at 50 cm harvesting height increased the foliage DM and CP yield threefold, but showed only marginal negative effect on tuber yield.

  • Poultry industry is abounding day by day as it engrosses less cost of investment per bird as compared to large animals. Poultry have the most copious genomic tool box amongst domestic animals for the detection of quantitative trait loci (QTL) and marker assisted selection (MAS). Use of multiple markers and least square techniques for mapping of QTL affecting quality and production traits in poultry is in vogue. Examples of genetic tests that are available to or used in industry programs are documented and classified into causative mutations (direct markers), linked markers in population-wide linkage disequilibrium (LD) with the QTL (LD markers), and linked markers in population wide equilibrium with the QTL (LE markers). Development of genome-wide SNP assays, role of 42 K, 60 K (Illumina) and 600 K (Affymetrix$^{(R)}$ Axim$^{(R)}$) SNP chip with next generation sequencing for identification of single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) has been documented. Hybridization based, PCR based, DNA chip and sequencing based are the major segments of DNA markers which help in conducting of MAS in poultry. Economic index-marker assisted selection (EI-MAS) provides platform for simultaneous selection for production traits while giving due weightage to their marginal economic values by calculating predicted breeding value, using information on DNA markers which are normally associated with relevant QTL. Understanding of linkage equilibrium, linkage dis-equilibrium, relation between the markers and gene of interest are quite important for success of MAS. This kind of selection is the most useful tool in enhancing disease resistance by identifying candidate genes to improve the immune response. The application of marker assisted selection in selection procedures would help in improvement of economic traits in poultry.

  • 유휴농경지의 증가로 이에 대한 대안적 활용의 필요성이 대두되고 있다. 본 연구는 경관의 모의조작을 통하여 이를 보다 적극적으로 산림으로 복구하거나 다른 대안으로의 이용하는 방안의 타당성을 검토하며 이에 대한 지불의사를 분석하고자 하였다. 두가지 유형의 유휴농경지에 대하여 각가 세개씩의 대안을 검토하여 총 6개의 대안을 검토하였다. SBE값은 폐경지상태가 가장 낮았으며 산림과 야생초화류로 복구되는 대안의 값이 유의하게 상승하였다. 각각의 토지이용대안에 대한 지불의사를 추정하기 위하여 로지스틱 모형을 적용하였으며 6개의 모델에 대한 ${\rho}$값은 0.3-0.4로서 예상된 적중률은 약 75%에 해당하였다. 독립변수 중에서 적중률에 가장 크게 영향을 미치는 변수는 세액으로 나타났으며 수입은 통계적으로 유의한 관련을 가지지 않는 것으로 나타났다. 다른 변수들은 모델에 따라 다르게 나타났다. SBE와 WTP는 서로 일정한 상관을 가지는 것으로 사료되며 SBE가 증가함에 따라 WTP도 증가하는 것으로 추정되었다. 따라서, 농경지에 대한 경관의 질을 향상시킴으로써 전원지역의 환경보전에 대한 지불의사를 높일 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

  • 본 연구는 시장효율성을 증대시키는 재무분석가의 이익예측 의사결정에 기업지배구조에서 중추적 역할을 하고 있는 소유구조가 미치는 영향을 분석하였다. 본 연구의 분석기간은 2000년부터 2006년까지이며 표본은 증권거래소에 상장된 기업들로 재무분석가의 이익예측치가 존재하는 12월말 결산법인으로 하였다. 본 연구의 결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 대주주지분율이 높은 기업은 질 낮은 회계이익을 바탕으로 재무분석가가 낙관적인 이익 예측을 하여 이익예측오차는 크나 대주주와의 우호관계를 통해 기업의 사적정보를 입수할 가능성이 있기 때문에 정확성이 높은 것으로 보인다. 기관투자자지분율이 높은 기업은 질 높은 회계이익을 바탕으로 재무분석가가 신중한 이익예측을 하여 이익예측오차는 감소하나 정확성은 높지 않은 것으로 보인다. 한편, 이러한 결과들은 재무분석가의 이익예측이 낙관적인 집단에 기인하며, 정확성은 상대적으로 떨어지는 집단에 기인하였다. 둘째, 소유구조와 재무분석가의 이익예측간의 관련성에 기업지배구조관련변수들의 영향력을 추가로 살펴보았다. 분석결과, 약간의(marginal) 의미만을 지니며 소유구조 전반으로 일반화하기에는 무리가 있었다. 추후 재무분석가들이 이미 선행연구들에서 밝혀진 기업경영의 투명성에 지대한 공헌을 한 지배구조 변수들을 의사결정 시에 반영하면 이러한 결과들이 더 뚜렷해 질 것으로 보인다. 본 연구는 상기의 결과들에도 불구하고 다음과 같은 한계점을 지니고 있다. 재무분석가의 이익예측정확성 차이를 구분함에 있어서 이익예측치의 중위수를 기준으로 높고 낮음을 판단하였다. 이러한 구분은 자의적인 방법이므로 추후 개선된 방법이 필요할 것이다. 그리고 재무분석가들의 이익예측치 발표시점에 대하여 독립변수들을 시장상황에 맞게 대응시키지 못하였다. 마지막으로 소유구조가 재무분석가의 이익예측에 미치는 직접적인 영향과 간접적인 영향을 명확히 구분하지 못하였다. 추후 자본시장의 효율성 증대를 위해 재무분석가가 더 많은 기업에 대해 정보를 제시해야 하며 그들의 제공된 정보가 시장효율성을 왜곡시키지 않도록 많은 견제와 감시제도가 존재해야 할 것이다.

  • The work of teachers is tile critical element ill effective shooting. But most reform efforts have focused on tile teaching profession as a whole and effective schools. Only minimal attention has been given to the subset of teachers whose performance is marginal or incompetent, those who undermine the very concept of “educational excellence.” Teachers are the school's primary point of contact with students and, in large part, determine the educational goals and learning activities for students. How teaching is conducted has a large impact on students' abilities to educate themselves, and there is evidence that teacher quality directly affects student learning. Unfortunately, the evaluation of teachers' teaching abilities is not clear, and there are few cases that teachers has correctly feedback fly tile results of the evaluation of their abilities. In this study, we analysized and compared the teacher evaluation systems of Republic of Korea, Russian Federation, and tile United States of America. These results will be based on the improvement of tile systems. In Russian Federation, the highest year of teacher's teaching which affects on teacher's salary is 5. In the United States, it is 12-13 years. But in Korea, it is more than 30 years. That means the teachers who taught for many years are considered as competent teachers in Republic of Korea based on the economic factors of educational effects. In Russia and tile United States of America, teachers' academic backgrounds seriously affect ell teachers' salary. But ill Republic of Korea, teachers' academic background is a bit of a contribution to salary. In Russian federation, teachers' activities related to education, leaking abilities as well as academic background are also affect ell the salary. In Korea, older teachers have more advantages of salary and promotion than younger teachers. Principals and vice principals of Korea have influencing power over teachers because their judgements on teachers play an important part in teachers' promotion. But there is no such power of principals and vice principals in Russia and the United States of America. In Russian federation, the evaluation of teachers abilities is enforced periodically. The results of tile evaluation reflect on teachers' salary directly, After teachers are evaluated, some teachers can earn lower salaries than before. Teachers' academic backgrounds which affect ell teacher' salary are classified by courses. The teachers who have master degrees or dolor degrees of education earn much more money than the teachers who have master degrees and doctor degrees of pure science in Russian federation.

  • 진술선호법의 가상적 지불상황으로 초래되는 가상편의(hypothetical bias)는 설문 응답자에게 사회규범적 부담으로 작용하여 설문 응답에 영향을 줄 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 도심하천복원의 경제적 편익을 추정하기 위해 전통적으로 사용되고 있는 주관적 질문과 함께 객과화된 질문을 적용하여 가상적 편의(사회규범편의)를 검정하였다. 대전광역시의 하천이 복원되는 사례를 이용하여 전국의 응답자 1,000명을 대상으로 데이터를 수집하여 조건부가치평가법(CV)과 선택실험(CE)을 함께 적용하여 지불의사액을 추정하였다. 사회규범편의를 검정하는 방법으로 관련 문헌에서 일반적으로 쓰이는 표본분할과 파라미터화 방법을 함께 적용하여 그 함의를 비교하였다. 전통적인 방법으로 추정된 하천복원의 한계가치는 CV의 경우 10,500원, CE의 경우 수질 개선 18,600원, 하천내부 개선 2,200원, 하천주변 개선 8,900원, 생물다양성 개선 5,800원으로 추정되었다. 검정 결과에 의하면 응답자들의 선호도 이질성을 설명하는 원인으로서 질문의 차이를 파라미터화하여 모형에 포함시킬 경우에는 가치평가기법의 차이에 관계없이 사회규범편의가 5% 수준에서 모두 유의하게 나타났다. 반면, 질문의 유형에 따라 데이터가 독립적으로 분석되는 표본분할의 경우 대부분의 경우에서 사회규범편의가 유의하지 않았다. 비록, 본 연구에서 Cheap-talk가 사전에 적용되어 가상적 편의가 1차적으로 걸러졌을 가능성이 있겠지만, 검정법에 따라서 전혀 다른 결론이 도출될 수 있어서 앞으로 주의가 요구된다. 실질적 효과성 차원에서 사회규범편의를 검정하는 표본분할의 사용을 권한다. 특히, 사회규범이 강한 상황에서는 Cheap-talk 이후에도 가상편의가 강하게 잔존할 가능성이 높기 때문에 향후 비시장가치평가에서 객관적 질문의 역할이 강조된다.

  • Demand for high quality medical care has recently been increasing in step with high level of income and education. Patients prefer the use of large general hospitals to small community hospitals. Large hospitals, usually located at urban area, expand their capacities to cope with the increasing demand, therefore, they easily secure revenue necessary for growth and development of hospitals. However, small community hospitals are facing with serious financial difficulties caused from the reduction of patients in one hand and the inflation of cost in another. If small rural hospitals were closed, the closure would have negative impacts on local economies in addition to the decrease in access to medical care. Community leaders should have an insight on the contribution of community hospitals to local economies. They could make a rational decision on the hospital closure only with the understanding of hospital's contribution to the community. This study is designed to develop an economic model to estimate the contribution of rural hospital to local economies, and also to apply this model with a specific hospital. The contribution of a hospital to local economies consists of two elements, direct effect and multiplier effects. The direct impacts include hospital's local purchasing power, employee's local purchasing power, and the consumption of patients coming from outside the community. The direct impact induces multiplication effect in the local economy. The seed money invested to other industries grows through economic activities in the region. This study estimated the direct effect with the data of expenditure of the case hospital. The total effect was calculated by multiplied the direct effect with a multiplier. The multiplier was drown from the ratio of marginal propensity of income and expenditure. Beside the estimation of the total impacts, the economic effect from the external resources was also analyzed by the use of the ratio of patients coming outside the region. The results are as follows. 1. The direct economic contribution of the hospital to the local economy is 1,104 million won. 2. The value of multiplier in the region is 2.976. 3. The total economic effect is 3,286 million won, and the multiplication effect is 2,182 million won. 4. The economic contribution from the external resources is 245 million won which is 7.5% of the total economic effect.

  • Purpose - The ICT market in the EU is lagging behind that of the US; however, algorithm and software development within the EU have grown steadily, and they involve focusing on the creative cultural convergence conceptualized as part of Horizon 2020 and connecting neighboring markets in the EE and the Mediterranean region. It is essential to study the requirements to market the EU's creative ICT development in emerging industrial countries after examining its applicability in these countries. Research design, data, and methodology - This study deals with data pertaining to the EU's creative industry and competitive edge. The global cultural expansion of the EU facilitates a new concept involving not only low-cost IT products to enhance local cultural artifacts through R&D and the construction of efficient infrastructure services, but also information exchange with a realistic commercialization of the technology that can be applied for creative cultural localization. In the European industry, research on algorithms has been applied for the benefit of consumers. We investigated how the process is conducted in the EU. Results - Europe needs to adjust its economic structure to the local culture as part of IT distribution convergence. The convergence has been converted into a production algorithm with IT in the form of low-cost production. This is because there is an attempt to improve the quality of transport infrastructure, workforce availability, and the distribution of the distance to the local industries and consumers, using IT algorithms. Integrated into the manufacturing industry, based on the ICT infrastructure and solutions, smart localized regional clusters are formed with the help of grafting. Europe has own strategy to increase the number of hub-and-spoke cities. Europe is now becoming integrated, with an EPC system for regional cooperation rather than national competition in ICT technology. Europe has also been recognized in this study as changing the step-by-step paradigm for global competitiveness through new creative culture industries. Conclusions - As a result, there are several ways of converging with others through EU R&D intensity; therefore, the EU can be seen as successfully increasing marginal value, which is useful in developing a special industrial cluster or local cultural cities that create converged development by connecting people and objects with IT. In fact, when compared to the US, Europe has a strong culture and the car industries have a tendency to overshadow the IT industries with integration of services in IT distribution. Considering the rapid environmental changes, the convergence of IT services is likely to take place in Europe, similar to the pharmaceutical industry and the automotive industry. This requires a focus on human resources and automated systems management. The trend is to move away from low-wage industries, switched to key personnel centers of the local university-industry. EU emphasizes the creation of IT market demand in Europe involving local cultural convergence for marketing as the second step to strengthen the economic hub-and-spoke areas.

  • 본 연구는 기업의 혁신전략이 특허생산 및 기업의 기술변화와 신제품개발에 미치는 영향을 분석함으로써 기업의 기술성과를 증대시키는 데 필요한 혁신전략을 도출하고자 하였다. 사용자료는 한국직업능력개발원의 "인적자본기업패널조사"(HCCP)의 1~4차년도 자료와 한국신용평가원의 기업재무자료, 특허청의 기업별 특허출원자료를 결합한 자료이다. 특허생산함수는 영과잉음이항회귀모형(ZINB)을 사용하여 추정하였다. 기업의 기술성과 결정요인은 특허의 내생성을 고려하여 2단계 추정방법을 사용하였고, 2단계 회귀식은 순위로짓모형을 사용하였다. 분석결과, 기업의 혁신전략이 특허생산 및 기업의 기술변화와 신제품개발에 중요한 영향을 미치는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 첫째, 특허생산에서는 기업의 연구개발투자와 인적자원이 중요한 투입요소로 나타났다. R&D집약도가 높을수록 특허생산이 활발하게 이루어지되 한계 생산은 체감하였고, 기업이 보유하고 있는 특허스톡이 많을수록 신규특허의 생산이 활발하였다. 기업의 인적자원수준이 높고 인적자원투자가 많을수록 특허생산이 활발하였고, 기업이 시장선도전략이나 빠른 추종자전략을 추구할 때 안정형 전략을 구사하는 기업에 비해 특허생산이 많았다. 둘째, 기업의 기술성과 결정요인으로는 인적자원의 역할이 중요하였고, R&D 집약도는 대기업의 신제품개발에 유의한 영향을 미쳤다. 시장선도전략이나 빠른 추종자전략을 택한 기업의 기술성과가 안정형 전략의 기업보다 높았다. 특허생산이 활발한 기업일수록 기술성과가 높으나, 이는 상당부분 특허의 내생성에 기인한다. 본 연구의 분석결과는 특허의 생산뿐 아니라 특허와 신제품개발과 같은 기술성과와의 연계성을 높이는 전략이 필요하며, 기업특성에 따른 차별화 전략이 필요하다는 것을 시사한다.
