Trump's withdrawal from the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) and his "America First" trade agenda ignite a second round of interest in mega-free trade agreements in the Asia-Pacific. Countries are evaluating alternative trade policy actions in a post-TPP era. Using national real GDP gains estimated by a modified GTAP model to construct "preference ordering" for 10 Association of Southeast Asian Nations members and their six regional dialogue partners, this paper comes up with several policy-oriented findings. First, when multilateral agreements are not possible, countries are better off with a regional trading agreement than without one. Second, the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership is likely to have higher beneficial impacts than the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership. Third, for dual-track countries, implementing both agreements is better than each separately. Fourth, impacts of open regionalism are likely to be higher than those of a closed and reciprocal one. Going forward, this paper argues that countries should adopt a "multi-track, multi-stage" approach to trade policy.

본 연구는 치매 노인을 돌보는 노년기 배우자가 지각한 돌봄부담과 사회적지지가 생활만족도에 미치는 영향과 사회적지지의 조절효과를 탐색하는데 그 목적이 있다. 이를 위해 서울과 경기도 지역 재가방문요양센터의 치매 노인을 돌보는 만60세 이상 배우자 165명을 조사대상으로 분석하였다. 분석결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 치매 노인을 돌보는 배우자의 전체 돌봄부담은 3.76점(SD=.57)으로 중앙값보다 약간 높은 수준을 나타냈다. 사회적지지의 경우 비공식적지지는 2.65점(SD=.78), 공식적지지는 2.60점(SD=.77)으로 중앙값 보다는 낮게 나타났다. 생활만족도는 3.11점(SD=.78)으로 중앙값 보다 약간 높은 수준을 보였다. 둘째, 치매 노인 배우자의 주관적 건강상태, 소득수준, 사회활동 부담, 비공식적지지가 생활만족에 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 즉, 치매 노인 배우자의 주관적 건강상태가 좋을수록, 소득수준이 높을수록 그리고 사회활동 부담이 낮을수록, 비공식적지지가 높을수록 생활만족도가 높게 나타났다. 셋째, 사회활동 부담과 비공식적 지지 상호작용 항이 유의미하게 나타났다. 따라서 치매 노인에 대한 사회활동 부담과 생활만족도와의 관계에서 비공식적지지는 조절효과가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 즉, 치매 노인 배우자가 사회활동 부담을 경험하여도 비공식적지지를 많이 사용할수록 생활만족도가 감소하는 정도가 줄어드는 것으로 나타났다.

These social network websites need accurate and careful investigations and findings on the usability issues for effective interactivity and more usability. However, little research might have previously invested on the usability of these social network websites. Therefore, we propose a new framework to study and test the usability of these social network sites. We namely call our framework "Interactivity". This framework will enable developers to assess the usability of the social network sites. It will provide an overview of the user's behavior while interacting in these social network websites. Performance of the framework will be performed using Camtasia software.

This study investigates the productivity of Indonesian social scientists during the COVID-19 pandemic, with a particular concentration on their contributions to COVID-19 prevention and management. By categorizing social science research according to themes such as authors' gender, authors' institution of origin, forms of collaboration, and journal quality, this study examines the patterns and factors that influence research output. Using information from the Scopus database, 1,071 journal articles were analyzed in total. The findings indicate that collaborations with foreign researchers considerably improve productivity and publication quality, with Malaysian and Australian institutions serving as the most active partners. Nevertheless, there are gender disparities, as female authors write and are cited less frequently than male authors. The study stresses the importance of increasing international collaboration among Indonesian authors and implementing affirmative action policies to support and empower female researchers. This study contributes to the existing body of knowledge by providing policymakers, funding agencies, and academic institutions with recommendations for fostering a more inclusive and influential research environment in Indonesia.

Based on the perspective of consumers and the method of value engineering, this paper uses "CSR expectation deviate level" to measure corporate social responsibility, and discusses the influence of corporate social responsibility on financial performance and its action path. This paper collected the questionnaire survey data of 878 consumers and the panel data of 98 listed companies from 2009 to 2012. The empirical results show that: (1) Consumers pay more attention to products and services, charity, environmental protection and their responsibilities to employees, and less attention to their responsibilities to shareholders or creditors and partners; (2) Corporate social responsibility is negatively correlated with financial performance, and corporate marketing ability plays a moderating role in it. That is, the smaller the gap between the level of corporate social responsibility fulfilled by enterprises and consumers' expectations, the better the financial performance of enterprises, which also reminds enterprises that they need to rationally allocate corporate social responsibility resources and constantly cultivate their own marketing capabilities, so as to better meet the level of corporate social responsibility expected by consumers. The value engineering method quantifies consumers' value perception of corporate social responsibility, which has a certain practical guiding role. Of course, there are some limitations in this paper, and future research can further explore the potential impact mechanism.

The major results of the study were summarized as follows; First, the range of the social contact with men's own kin was wider than women's. In the contact frequency of midge-aged men, primary networks were shown more frequent contact than the secondary networks. In the characteristics of interactive function of social networks, kinship of the middle- aged men, their partners and friendship networks were the most important among the six networks, which agrees the fact that kin are still the primary source of social support.

최근 인간과 에이전트 간의 감성적인 상호작용을 지원하기 위해 에이전트의 기쁨, 슬픔 등의 얼굴 표정에 대한 사용자의 반응을 분석하는 연구들이 진행되었다. 그러나 기존의 연구에서는 사용자가 긍정적 혹은 부정적으로 평가하는 지를 검증하기 위해 주로 설문지를 통해 사용자 피드백을 획득하는 방법을 사용하였다. 본 연구에서는 인간과 에이전트 상호작용에서 에이전트의 얼굴 표정에 대한 사용자의 생체신호를 측정하여 감성적인 영향이 있는지 살펴보았다. 일관성 있는 생체 신호 해석 결과를 도출하기 위해 실시간으로 심박수와 피부전도도 등의 생체 신호를 획득하고, 명시적 혹은 비명시적인 피드백 분석방법을 통합하여, 해석을 안정적으로 하도록 하였다. 실험결과 에이전트의 긍정(혹은 부정)적인 얼굴 표정이 사용자의 긍정(혹은 부정)적인 반응을 이끌어 냄을 확인할 수 있었다. 또한, 인간과 에이전트와의 상호작용에서도 인간과 인간의 상호작용과 유사하게 에이전트의 긍정적인 얼굴 표정이 사용자의 부정적인 감정을 감소시킴을 확인할 수 있었다. 본 연구는 인간과 에이전트의 감성적인 상호작용을 위해 에이전트의 얼굴 표정을 디자인하기 위한 근거로 활용할 수 있다.

This study examined positive and negative marital factors on social adaptation to South Korea among North Korean refugees. In terms of previous studies, family variables play an important role in the adaptation to new society among refugees. We analyzed three major marital factors of marriage background, dyadic adjustment, and marital violence. Marital factors consisted of place of birth, place of marriage, dyadic consensus, dyadic satisfaction, dyadic cohesion, emotional violence, physical violence, and sexual violence. We analyzed the data of 295 North Korean refugees who resided in Seoul, Gyeonggi province and Incheon using snowballing sampling. The result indicated that the refugees married to non-Korean partners (including Korean-Chinese, Chinese, or Russian) are more likely to suffer in social adaptation. Place of marriage (whether the couple got married before escaping, during the escape or after living in South Korea) did not have a significant impact. Dyadic satisfaction was helpful in social adaptation, while sexual violence had a negative effect. The findings of this study suggest alternatives for more successful social adaptation by North Korean refugees to South Korea, a need for more services that target married couples and families rather than individuals, and suggestions for the use of counselors who are also North Korean refugees.
