Since the industrialization of swine production in the late 1900s, swine farms in the United States, as well as in Europe, have largely become consolidated. Pig farms became larger in size but fewer in number, with 91% of market pigs being produced by large operations with 5,000 or more pigs on-site in the US, and only 3% of the total utilized agricultural land representing organic farming. Such change in the market made it difficult for small farmers to stay competitive, forcing them to find alternative ways to reduce the cost of production and increase profit using the outdoor production system. In contrast to the indoor confinement system, outdoor production system uses pasture-based units and/or deep-bedded hoop structures that promote animal welfare and environmental sustainability with a lower capital investment. In accord with the growing concern for animal and environmental welfare and food safety by the consumers, small farmers practicing an outdoor production system are seeing increased opportunities for marketing their products in the pork niche market. Unlike the general belief that the reproductive and growth performance measures of the outdoor sows and piglets are poorer in comparison with the animals reared indoors, studies showed that there was no significant difference in the performance measures, and some traits were even better in outdoor animals. Improved reproductive and production traits can increase the sustainability of outdoor farming. Present study reviewed the recent studies comparing the performance measures, meat quality and health of indoor and outdoor animals, as well as the efforts to improve the outdoor production system through changes in management such as hut types and breed of animals.

세계 경제의 글로벌화에 따른 국제물류의 환경변화로 세계 주요 항만은 각 권역에서의 물류거점 항만이 되기 위한 경쟁이 치열하게 전개되고 있다. 우리나라(한국)에서도 동북아지역에서의 지리적인 이점을 활용하여 새정부의 출범과 함께 국가차원에서 한반도를 동북아 물류 중심기지로 육성하기 위한 전략을 적극적으로 추진 중에 있다. 그 중 한가지 전략이 관세자유지역 지정을 통한 다국적 물류기업의 유치로 물류산업의 활성화 및 동북아의 국제물류기지로 육성할 계획이다. 그러나 세계 각국에 비해 후발주자인 부산항 관세자유지역에 세계적인 다국적 기업의 유치를 위해서는 중앙정부 및 지방정부의 많은 투자가 필요한 것이 현실이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 중국 및 일본에 있는 업체의 설문 조사를 토대로 부산항 관세자유지역의 경쟁력을 분석하고 활성화 방안을 제시하는데 목적을 두고 있다. 컨조인트 분석을 통한 응답 업체의 선호도 조사결과 투자절차 및 제한이 36.2％로 가장 높은 선호도를 나타내고 있기 때문에, 관세자유지역에 기업을 유치하기 위해서 가장 중요시해야 할 전략은 투자절차 및 제한에 대한 문제점을 해결해야 한다. 시장점유율 시뮬레이션 분석을 통하여 경쟁력을 평가한 결과, 5개 국가중 UAE의 경쟁력이 가장 높고 한국은 가장 낮은 것으로 나타났다. 그러나 투자절차 및 제한과 생산요소 비용의 현재 수준을 개선시켰을 경우에는 5개 국가중 UAE 다음으로 경쟁력이 높은 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 부산항 관세자유지역이 경쟁력을 가지기 위해서는 투자절차 및 제한에 대한 개선뿐만 아니라 생산요소 비용에서도 기업들이 만족하는 수준으로 절감되어야 한다는 것을 알 수 있었다.

The objective of this study is to analyze the effects of increase in the oyster hatchery on fishermen's income. The results of the analysis are as follows : \circled1 The necessary quantities of oyster seed are 18,000 thousand hanging line. The 29.4%, of that has been applied by ana-seed collection and 29.1% of that has been applied by proseed collection. The demage of oyster aquaculture business is estimated about 35 billion won or 83 billion won. \circled2 The production cost per hanging line of the oyster hatchery is 1,974 won. And if it is sold by 2,500 won, return on investment will be 31.9%. Therefore profitability of the oyster hatchery is very good. \circled3 There are four important determinant variables of profitability to the oyster hatchery. In the order of their effects, it is operation number, seed price, production cost, and quantity of production. \circled4 If differences of price between the artificial hardening oyster seed and the natural hardening oyster seed are more less 1,430 won, the former is better. \circled5 The necessarily quantities of the oyster hatchery are estimated 160 units in the scale of 10,000 hanging line production to one operation. \circled6 The effect of increasing income of fishermen are estimated about 85.3 billion won or 124.5 billion won from increase in the oyster hatchery.

The semiconductor industry is one of those in which the most intricate processes are involved and there are many critical factors that are controlled with precision in those processes. Naturally production scheduling in the semiconductor industry is also very complex and studied by the industry and academia for many years; however, still there are many issues left unclear in the problem. This paper proposes an multi-objective optimization-based scheduling method for semiconductor fabrication(fab). Two main objectives are throughput maximization and meeting target production quantities. The first objective aims to reduce production cost, especially the fixed cost incurred by a large investment constructing a new fab facility. The other is meeting customer orders on time and also helps a fab maintain stable throughput through controlled WIP balancing in the long run. The paper shows a trade-off structure between the two objectives through experimental studies, which provides industrial practitioners with useful references.

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to investigate how the type of virtual reality content production affects the interaction and immersion that is a virtual reality characteristic, and to provide the platform companies and content producers with the basic information necessary to provide the production and service of content suitable for VR characteristics. Methods: Based on the data collected in the survey, multiple regression analysis and hierarchical regression analysis were used. The measurement tools used in this study were studied through three-dimensional composition, including the characteristics and interaction and immersion of content produced in 2D, 3D and 360°, which are elements of virtual reality characteristics. Results: The results of this study are as follows. Among the types of content production, content produced with 2D and 360 technologies was found to affect immersion, while content produced in 3D affected interaction. Motion sickness has been investigated to affect both immersion and interaction. Conclusion: Service-provided platform enterprises and content-making enterprises should consider content-making and providing services that suit service characteristics and purposes, taking into account the characteristics of interaction and immersion in content-making investment and service delivery.

The purpose of this study is to analyze emergy flows of rice for evaluating the value of rice production and sustainability. Emergy analysis evaluates the sustainability of systems or processes considering all the inputs to make a product or a sevice. In this study, we analyzed the emergy flows and indices of rice productionand compared the regional emergy values using statisticcal analysis: input materials, hours per unit area(10a), and production costs. As the results, we found that the rates of external investment (EIR= 18.87) and environmental loading (ELR=21.7) are significantly high during the rice cultivation. However, emergy yield ratio(EYR) shows that rice is a valuable resource because EYR is 5.12 and environmental Sustainability IndexSI value is as low as 0.24 and it shows rice has low sustainability. This study also shows that Chungcheongnam-do has the highest SI value for rice production due to low environmental loading and abundant natural energy during rice cultivation. These results of rice emergy flows and sustainability assessments could provide a way of sustainable rice cultivation with decrease of environmental loading from fertilizer.

The relevance and importance of buffalo production under coconut plantations in the North Westen Province of Sri Lanka was studied in three districts (Bingiriya, Pannala, Kuliyapitiya). The objective of the study was to collect baseline information on socioeconomic and cultural aspects of buffalo production, with a view to promote and disseminate new technologies. The survey technique used consisted of a formal survey using a structured questionnaire (71 households) and rapid appraisal (55 households). The results indicate the existence of a wide stratification of dariy farmers which ranged from skilled dairy operators with high levels of production and management of efficiency to marginal subsistence farmers with low levels of productivity. The most frequent family size of households ranged from 4-5 members (58%), and the average family size was 4.7. The actual average land ownership accounts to 2.4 ha of upland and 0.5 ha of lowland, but when their accessibility to common property resources are taken into account, the land availability was assessed at 13 ha and 0.7 ha of upland and lowland, respectively. The highest average monthly income (Rs. 13,590) was received by farmers with off-farm employment (primary) who are also engaged in livestock production (secondary), and livestock contributed 43% of the total income. Livestock farmers who practised integrated crop farming as a secondary source of income received a monthly income of Rs. 10,843, and those involved in crop production as the primary source received the lowest average income (Rs. 7,295). The survey revealed a high investment cost on concentrate feeds (47%) for milk production. However some farmers obtained higher milk yields (11 litres/cow/day) at lower ration costs, and this could be attributed to the entrepreneurship skills and management efficiency. The study area had a well developed market infrastructure for fresh milk, principally due to the existence of the Nestle's company and the Coconut Triangle Milk Union. On an average the producer collected Rs. 10 per litre of milk marketed.

Purpose - High quality films are affected by both the production stage and various variables such as the size of the movie investment and marketing that changes consumers' perceptions. Consumer preferences should be recognized first to ensure that the movie is successful. If a film is produced without pre-investigation and analysis of consumer demand and taste, the probability of success will be low. This study investigates the balance of production costs, marketing costs, and profits using game theory, suggesting an optimization strategy using the simplex method of linear programming. Research design, data, and methodology - Before the release of the movie, initial demand is assumed to be driven largely by marketing costs. In the next phase, demand is assumed to be driven purely by a movie's production cost and quality, which might also further determine consumer demand. Thus, it is essential to determine how to distribute pure production costs and other costs (marketing) in a limited movie production budget. Moreover, it should be taken into account how to optimally distribute under the assumption that the audience and production company's input resources are limited. This research simplifies the assumptions for large-scale and relatively small-scale movie investments and examines how movie distribution participant profits differ when each cost is invested differently. Results - When first movers or market leaders have to choose both quality and marketing, it has been proven that pursuing a strategy choosing only one is more likely than choosing both. In this situation, market leaders should maximize marketing costs under the premise that market leaders will not lag their quality behind the quality of second movers. Additionally, focusing on movie marketing that produces a quick effect while ceding creative activity to increase movie quality is a natural outcome in the movie distribution environment since a cooperative strategy between market competitors is not feasible. Conclusions - Government film development policy should ignore quality competition between movie production companies and focus on preventing marketing competition. If movie production companies focus on movie production quality improvement then a creative competition would ensue.
