  • Purpose: The purpose of this study was to examine the differential effect of workforce diversity on employee productivity and its subsequent impact on customer experience. Research design, data and methodology: A once-off cross-sectional research design was used in this study where the Zimbabwean civil service was targeted. Randomization was used to collect 324 validated responses. The study focused on both primary (age and gender) and secondary (education and political affiliation) dimensions of workforce diversity. Results: The results were confirmatory that workforce diversity is a significant predictor of employee productivity (β = 0.668, P < 0.05), at the same time employee productivity holds explanation to customer experience by 37%. Results also revealed that gender diversity, educational diversity and political diversity were significant determinants of workforce diversity (P < 0.05). However, the study established that age diversity was not a significant factor in enhancing employee productivity (P > 0.05). Conclusions: The study concluded that workforce diversity is a powerful tool in enhancing both customer experience and employee productivity. As such, the latter can be augmented through shrewd workforce diversity practices as championed by management. To that end, the study recommends the development of a workforce diversity framework which promotes inclusivity.

  • 건설생산성은 단위작업에서 발생되는 자원의 활동과 이로 인한 산출물간의 관계를 지표로 표현한 것을 의미하며 수집된 건설 생산성 정보는 공사 진행의 효율성 파악, 작업여건 및 투입자원의 성능이 공정에 미치는 영향도 분석, 프로젝트별 성과 측정, 향후 공사계획을 위한 참고자료로서의 활용 등 프로젝트 관리를 위한 다양한 목적으로 이용될 수 있다. 본 연구의 목적은 데이터웨어하우스, OLAP, 데이터 마이닝 기술을 활용하여 PDA 및 바코드를 통해 수집된 생산성 데이터를 축적 및 분석하고, 생산성 예측 모델을 제시하기 위한 방법론을 제안하는 것이다. 이를 통해 보다 효율적이고도 다차원적인 생산성 분석이 가능한 건설 생산성 관리 시스템을 개발하는 것이며, 개발된 시스템은 건설 사업의 합리적인 성과 측정과 유사 프로젝트의 공사계획 수립에 활용할 실적데이터를 축적할 수 있을 것이다.

  • 다양한 공간규모에 대해서 식생의 생산성을 추정하기 위해 대기와 생태계내의 탄소순환 과정을 모니터링 하는 것은 탄소순환과정과 원격탐사기법을 결합함으로써 기능하다. 그 대표적인 예로서 미국 항공우주국(NASA)에서 개발한 지구관측시스템(Earth Observing System, EOS)은 총 일차생산성 (Gross Primary Productivity, GPP), 순 일차생산성 (Net Primary Productivity, NPP)을 전 지구에 대해 1km의 공간해상도로 제공한다. 그러나 MODIS의 생산성 추정에 기상입력자료로 이용되는 The NASA Data Assimilation Office (DAO)자료는 $1{\circ}\;{\times}\;1.25{\circ}$의 거친 해상도를 가지기 때문에 지역규모에서 지표기상의 상세한 공간적인 이질성을 반영하기 어렵다. 본 연구에서는 MODIS의 Aqua와 Terra 위성의 영상만을 이용하여 생산성을 추정하기 위한 입력자료로 사용되는 일 단위 일사량(MJ $day^{-1}$), 열 최저기온($^{\circ}C$, 낮 시간 평균 대기수증기압 포차(Yapor Pressure Deficit, Pa)을 5 km 해상도로 각각 추정하였다. 각각의 입력자료의 평가를 위해 미국 중서부 Corn Belt 지역 내에 위치하고 있는 7 개소의 지상기반의 관측자료를 수집하였다. MODIS 위성영상을 이용하여 추정한 기상입력자료와 관측자료를 비교한 결과, 일 최저기온은 ME와 상관계수가 각각 0.83에서 0.98, $-0.9^{\circ}C$ 에서 $+5.2^{\circ}C$ 의 범위로 양호한 상관성을 보였다. VPD는 약간 산개하는 경향을 보인다(ME = -183.8 Pa ~ +382.1 Pa; R = 0.51 ~ 0.92). 반면에, 일 단위 일사량은 MODIS가 약간 과대평가하는 경향을 보였지만 대부분의 지역에서 관측자료와 유의한 일치도를 보였다(ME = -0.4 MJ $day^{-1}$ +7.9 MJ $day^{-1}$; R = 0 67 ~ 0.97). 본 연구에서는 맑은 날에 대해서 MODIS 위성영상으로부터 추정된 기상입력자료가 MODIS가 제공하는 기상입력자료보다 상세한 지표 기상의 이질성을 반영한 자료를 생산할 수 있음을 확인하였다.

  • This paper describes the current spatial patterns of the net primary productivity (NPP) of the terrestrial vegetation and carbon emission (C) in the world due to the burning of fossil fuels in order to clarify the amount of expansion of human activity. The C/NPP value varies spatially from almost zero to several tens of thousand times the local NPP. C/NPP is higher under the condition of extensive human activities due to a high human population density or when the local NPP is extremely low in severe climatic zones. In contrast, the low C/NPP areas are distributed mainly in sparsely populated districts, loading to a low impact of human activity. Although the area where C/NPP is less than 10% accounts for about 70% of the entire land area, one-third of these areas cannot contribute to carbon absorption because of low NPP with a shortage of climatic resources. Since more than half of the areas of the remaining areas are agricultural land and forest ecosystems with high NPP, the possible afforestation area was evaluated to be maximum of $30{\times}10^{6}\;km^{2}$; here only sequestrate carbons that correspond to 2% of the global total NPP are present. These analyses revealed that presently most of the areas where the NPP is high are those exclusively used by humans and that it is difficult for large-scale forest plantations to absorb a substantial amount of the carbon emitted annually by humans.

  • The abundant nutrients contained in deep seawater are delivered by natural upwellings from the deep sea to the surface sea. However, the natural upwelling phenomenon is limited to specific areas of the sea; in other areas, the thermocline separates the surface sea from the lower layer. Thus, the surface layer is often deficient in nutritive salts, causing the deterioration of its primary productivity and ultimately leading to an imbalance in the marine ecosystem. Without a consistent supply of nitrogenous nutritive salts, they are absorbed by phytoplankton, resulting in a considerable problem in primary productivity. To solve this issue, a floating type of artificial upwelling system is suggested to artificially pump up, distribute, and diffuse deep seawater containing rich nutritive salts. The key technologies for developing such a floating artificial upwelling system are a floating offshore structure with a large diameter riser, self-supplying energy system, density current generating system, method for estimating the emission and absorption of CO2, and way to evaluate the primary production variation. Strengthening the primary production of the sea by supplying deep seawater to the sea surface will result in a sea environment with abundant fishery resources.

  • The relationship between primary productivity and changes in water quality was investigated at Mulgum station, a site downstream of the Nakdong River, Korea. Phytoplankton production was characterized by blooms of Microcystis aeruginosa during the summer and Stephanodiscus hantzschii during the winter. Primary production and secondary production by bacterioplankton ranged from 1.5~53.5 mg-C/ι day and 0.1~0.3 mg-C/ι day, respectively. Distribution of total organic carbon appeared to be highly correlated with phytoplankton biomass, especially during blooms of M. aeruginosa, when particulate organic carbon was 81% of total organic carbon and the main source of organic materials supplied into the water. The correlation coefficient between chlorophyll-a and BOD was 0.86. Thus it was concluded that autochthonous phytoplankton mostly affected the BOD level. Total bacterial numbers were also highly correlated with chlorophyll-a ($r^2$= 0.84) and the bacterial community appears to be regulated by phytoplankton biomass in this area.

  • 탄소 순환과 수문 순환의 관계를 이해하기 위해서는 효율적인 물 사용과 실제 물 사용 간의 비율로 정의되는 용수효율(Water Use Efficiency; WUE)을 정량화 하는 것이 필요하다. 특히 용수효율을 평가하기 위해서는 탄소 순환의 주요 인자인 총 1차 생산량(Gross Primary Productivity; GPP)과 순 1차 생산량(Net Primary Productivity; NPP)을 산정하는 것이 중요하다. 본 연구에서는 전 세계적으로 가장 많이 활용되고 있는 지면 모형 중 하나인 Community Land Model(CLM)을 활용하여 동아시아 지역에서의 GPP와 NPP를 산정하였다. 모형을 통해서 산정된 광역의 GPP와 NPP는 Flux tower에서 관측된 지점 자료를 활용하여 검증할 예정이다. 또한 지면 모형에서 획득한 동아시아 지역의 GPP와 NPP에 대한 공간 분포를 분석하여 탄소 순환 인자들에 대한 시공간적인 변화에 대하여 확인하고자 한다.

  • Land reform in Korea was performed in 1949. The formation of owner farmers was the primary objective of land reform. But since land reform, the number of tenants has been increasing, and it reached to 65.7% of total farmhousehold by 1985. To analyze the productivity of tenant farming, 40 farmers in Kumnam, Yeongi Gun and Gongju Gun, Banpo, Chungnam Province, were selected as samples for the empirical analysis. The results of the empirical analysis are summarized as follows; 1. In plain area, tenants input 5% more labor, and 15% less capital than owner farmers. In mountain area, tenants input 15% more labor, and 4% more capital than owner farmers. 2. There is no difference in the output of rice between owner farmers and tenants in both area. 3. In plain area, the physical productivity of labor of owner farmers is 4.6 (kg/hour), and that of tenants is 4.4. And the physical productivity of labor of owner farmers in mountain area is 4.2, and that of tenants is 3.6. 4. The physical productivity of capital of owner farmers in plain area is 17.7(kg/1,000 won), and that of tenants is 20.6. In mountain area, the physical productivity of capital of owner farmers is 18.8, and that of tenants is 17.9.
