This study aims to estimate and calculate the ability to pay (ATP) and the willingness to pay (WTP) of households for wastewater management services (IPAL), the relationship between ATP and WTP, and factors that affect WTP. The location of IPAL construction is in the area of Lampung Province, Indonesia. There are 158 selected households for this study. The study employs a purposive sampling method in which the characteristics of households are classified into 3 categories - former households, newcomer households who had come to this area and have no experience of using water supply services, and newcomer households who have experience of using water supply services such as PDAM. The results of this study are, ATP and WTP values were not always in the same direction. The highest ATP was for newcomer households with experience of water supply services but the WTP was the lowest, on the contrary, the lowest ATP was for former households, but the WTP was the highest. Furthermore, experience and cognitive reference are positively correlated with WTP. Service quality perception, education/knowledge of respondents about environmental conservation, and level of income correlate with WTP.

This paper describes basic plans for the development of a radioactive waste disposal facility with the introduction of Nuclear Power Plants (NPPs) for Kenya. The specific objective of this study was to estimate the total projected waste volumes of low- and intermediate-level radioactive waste (LILW) expected to be generated from the Kenyan nuclear power programme. The facility is expected to accommodate LILW to be generated from operation and decommissioning of nuclear power plants for a period of 50 years. An on-site storage capacity of 700 $m^3$ at nuclear power plant sites and a final disposal repository facility of more than 7,000 $m^3$ capacity were derived by considering Korean nuclear power programme radioactive waste generation data, including Kori, Hanbit, and APR 1400 nuclear reactor data. The repository program is best suited to be introduced roughly 10 years after reactor operation. This study is important as an initial implementation of a national LILW disposal program for Kenya and other newcomer countries interested in nuclear power technology.

본 연구는 고성과작업시스템 내의 두 개별 인사제도의 효과성과 그 제도 간 상호작용이 3년 미만 근속자(신입사원)의 이직률에 미치는 영향을 검증하고자 한다. 전략적 인사관리 연구에 있어 중요한 역할을 해온 고성과작업시스템이 종업원 동기부여나 조직전체의 효과성에 긍정적 영향을 미침은 이미 많은 연구에 의해 검증되었다. 그러나 시스템 내의 개별 인사제도의 영향력과 인사제도 간 상호작용에 관련하여서는 알려진 것이 미흡한 것이 사실이다. 본 연구는 고성과작업시스템을 구성하는 개별 인사제도 중 목표에 의한 관리(MBO)와 직무순환이 3년 미만 근속자 이직률에 미치는 영향과 그 상호작용의 효과를 검증함으로써 고성과작업시스템이 작동되는 메커니즘 연구에 기여하고자 한다. 지지된 가설에 의하면, MBO, 직무순환은 개별적으로 3년 미만 근속자 이직률에 음의 영향을 미친다는 것을 발견했다. 또한 MBO를 실시하는 기업은 직무순환도 같이 실시 할 때 3년 미만 근속자 이직률을 그렇지 않은 기업보다 더 줄일 수 있음을 보여준다. 이러한 결과는 MBO와 직무순환이 3년 미만 근속자 이직률에 개별적으로 영향을 줄 뿐만 아니라 상호작용 효과도 있음을 보여준다. 이러한 고성과작업시스템 내 특정 인사제도 간 개별적 효과와 상호작용 효과에 대한 이해는 전략적 인사관리 연구자뿐만 아니라 실무자에게도 도움을 줄 것으로 기대된다.

Bangladesh, as a newcomer country, is expecting to start her nuclear power journey by 2022. Due to evident reasons, newcomer nuclear countries face several key challenges concerning the development of national nuclear safety infrastructure. The paper investigates the status of the 7 key safety infrastructure issues out of the 19 and readiness of the supportive organizations, laboratories, and workforces following the International Atomic energy Agency's status evaluation guide at milestone 3 and foreign countries' practice. Much progress has been achieved at phase 3 regarding the establishments of a few Acts, a regulator, and an operator. However, comprehensive regulatory frameworks, skilled workforces, establishments of a few supportive organizations, and laboratories for managing environmental radioactivity, radiological accidents, and radioactive wastes are yet to ready. Several suggestions are made for establishing and expediting radiation monitoring laboratories, a radiological emergency management center, a radioactive waste management company, and technical support organizations for the safety infrastructure. To avoid perceived risks, policymakers and competent authorities need to emphasize creating an optimized safety infrastructure before commissioning and operating the 1^st nuclear power plant safely, securely, and cost-sustainably.

The pressing need to mitigate greenhouse gas emissions has stimulated a renewed interest in nuclear energy worldwide. However, while numerous countries have shown interest in nuclear power over the course of history, many of them have not continued their pursuit and chosen to defer or abandon their peaceful nuclear power projects. Scrapping a national nuclear power program after making initial efforts implies significant challenges in such a course or a waste of national resources. Therefore, this study aims to identify the crucial factors that influence a country's decision to terminate or hold off its peaceful nuclear power programs. Our empirical analyses demonstrate that major nuclear accidents and leadership changes are significant factors that lead countries to terminate or defer their nuclear power programs. Additionally, we highlight that domestic politics (democracy), lack of military alliance with major nuclear suppliers, low electricity demand, and national energy security environments (energy import, crude oil price) can hamper a country's possibility of regaining interest in a nuclear power program after it has been scrapped, suspended, or deferred. The findings of this study have significant implications for policymakers and stakeholders in the energy sector as they strive to balance the competing demands of energy security, and environmental sustainability.

Many immigrant youth and their families undergo painful separations and complicated reunification experiences. Using data from the Longitudinal Immigrant Student Adaptation (LISA) study, a 5-year longitudinal, mixed-methods study of newcomer youth to the U.S., we examine the impact of lengthy family separations on youth's mental health and their perceived family conflict. Quantitative analyses demonstrate that longer separations positively predict higher psychological symptoms and family conflict, particularly for girls over a sustained period of time. Qualitative analyses of parent and child responses provide insights into the family reunification experiences.

As eco-friendly energy is in the spotlight, lots of countries are out to develop and disseminate renewable energy. However, Korea still remains in relative newcomer position for renewable energy. To overcome the present condition, it is necessary to carry out a study of establishment of renewable energy policy that is appropriate the present situation of Korea from examples of advanced countries. Among several renewable energies, wind energy is known to be the most reliable energy. Germany that has increased the share of wind energy in total energy supply is a representative leading country for wind energy. Therefore wind energy policy in Germany will be a role model for that in Korea. In this study, as a research of portfolio for wind energy policy of advanced countries, a wide survey for current status of wind energy and energy policy in Germany is carried out.

Korean technological innovation is characterized by large firm-leading and characterized sector such as electricity and electronics. We examine the relationship between two elements. Using patent data registered at USPTO by Korean firms, We examine the relationship between patterns of innovative activities and sectoral specialization. As a result, Korean technological innovation is characterized by relatively high asymmetry, big share of large firms, high stability of ranking of innovators and diminishing role of newcomer, therefore as close as Schumpeter Mark II. But technological specialization is associated positively with the big share of large firms, negatively with low stability of ranking of innovators. It means that Korean technological innovation is led by large firms, but quantitative growth and technological specialization is achieved through competition between them.
