The OECD DAC has recommended the member countries to raise the ODA budget by 0.7% of GNI. Most of DAC's members, howver, have not reached at the target level, mainly due to global economic crisis, with some exceptions in Northern Europe countries. Korea has increased the ODA budget allocation dramatically, but she could not still meet even the level 0.3%, which is the average level of DAC countries. In terms of national budget operation, DAC country groups are classified as the international norm type and the self-economic dependence type. And then, this study analyzes the time trends of the ODA budget in Korea, comparing with DAC's members on the economic scale. By forecasting Korean ODA budgets by country-type classifications, the optimal size of Korean government's ODA budget is proposed and discussed.

In the case of a fire accident on a ship or an offshore plant, the design of the bulkhead penetration piece must be verified via a fire test procedure (FTP), as specified by the Maritime Safety Committee (MSC). The purpose of this study is to verify both the numerical analysis results and the design specifications for penetration pieces that could be applied to the A60 class bulkhead division. In this study, the FTP was carried out in accordance with the test procedure prescribed in the MSC regulation. In order to review the fire resistance performance according to the material type, bulkhead penetration pieces for the FTP were made from brass, carbon steel for machine structures (S45C), and austenite stainless steel (SUS316). In addition, spray-type insulation and mechanical fastener-type insulation were applied to investigate the fire resistance performance according to the type of insulation. To verify the heat transfer numerical analysis results for the A60 class bulkhead penetrating piece from this test study, the design specifications of the penetrating piece material and the insulation type applicable to a ship and an offshore plant were identified.

This study aims to understand the ways in which experience programmes affect visitors' attitude at cultural heritage sites. Through a literature review, this study constructed measurement scales that specifically measure experience at the cultural heritage sites. Afterwards, this study measured visitors' experience, satisfaction, and attitude at cultural heritage sites. This study found that visitors experience fun, authenticity, leaning, and a sense of escaping/togetherness through the experience programmes. Second, authenticity, fun and learning influence their satisfaction in terms of their visit, whereas a sense of escaping/togetherness does not link to their satisfaction. Third, visitors' satisfaction is the key determinant in changing their attitude. Fun is the key determinant that directly influence visitors' attitude change, whereas authenticity is the key determinant that indirectly influence visitors' attitude change.

Recently, the Justice Party is pushing for legislation of a bill called the Algorithm Transparency Act. The bill is a revision to the Information and Communication Network Act proposed by Rep. Ryu Ho-jung on June 25, 2021, and aims to form a separate committee under the Korea Communications Commission to ask organizations operated for profit to search algorithms and explain the principles of arrangement. Currently, Korea treats algorithms as corporate secrets and does not disclose them, while the European Union (EU) implements the Personal Information Protection Regulations (GDPR) in relation to algorithm regulations. Therefore, this study summarizes the main contents of the Algorithm Transparency Act currently proposed to the National Assembly and reviews the current status of algorithm-related laws and systems in the European Union (EU) and the improvement of algorithm transparency.

Objectives This study aimed to the application of Chuna manual therapy in patients with stroke where much evidence is not available. Methods Domestic databases (KOREANTK, OASIS, RISS, KISS, and KMBASE) were queried for literature showing application of Chuna manual therapy in stroke patients. Additionally, insufficient evidence was supplemented with expert consensus using the Delphi method. Based on the literature review and expert consensus, the academic committee of the Korean Society of Chuna Manual Medicine reviewed and summarized the Chuna technique recommendations that can be applied to stroke patients. Results There were six studies on Chuna manual therapy in stroke patients, and Chuna therapy was applied for pelvic, shoulder, and elbow joint spasticity. The expert Delphi survey did not agree with the application of the nine of the 69 standard Chuna techniques and deliberated on matters to be considered when applying Chuna manual therapy to stroke patients. Finally, based on clinical research literature and expert opinions, Chuna technique was recommended for patients with post-stroke spasticity. Conclusions The application of Chuna therapy to non-muscular skeletal disorders, including stroke is recommended and should be applied while taking the necessary precautions.
