Recently, there are increased importance on introducing Tax Incremental Financing as a means of project financing for urban regeneration. Values of implementing this financing method based on future revenue has to be considered not just as self-financing methods but as possibilities building virtuous circular structure in urban developments. In respond to domestic problems in developments led by private sector, it reinforces public sector's roles by providing finance from the beginning of development. This provides concomitant structural & institutional supports for increasing not only social values for the public but also revenues for private developers. Therefore, this study starts with theoretical background study on TIF as well-known example, then analyzes PILOT used on Hudson Yard Development in NYC as an unique example sharing identical structural & conceptual characteristics. With these process, the study deducts suggestive implications on Tax Incremental Financing possibly reflected on domestic situation.

Much policy attention has been directed to the concentration of patients in large hospitals, especially in tertiary care hospitals. In order to address the problem, the government has enforced referral requirement for accessing care in tertiary care hospitals by denying insurance benefits to the patients who do not observe the requirement. This approach somehow has failed to produce expected effects although it still exists in theory. The concentration of patients in a certain type of providers results in the distortion of functional differentiation among various types of providers and vice versa. Thus the approaches for the alleviation of the problem should be directed to both patients and providers. However, policy approaches has so far focused on ways of directly affecting patients' choice of a provider neglecting the effects of providers. Based upon the observation, this paper has reviewed selected issues that should be considered in agenda setting for policies concerned with the concentration of patients in large hospitals or the distortion of functional differentiation among health care providers. A brief discussion of each of the issues suggests three general guidelines for the formulation and implementation of policies intended to address the problem. First, attention should be directed to both patients and providers. Secondly, it is necessary to employ diverse measures including regulation, incentives and administrative supports. Thirdly, some of the approaches should be planned from a long range perspective, for it often takes a long time to change some aspects of health care utilization and provision.

Objectives: This study compared the risk of preterm birth and low birth weight between native-born and foreign-born women. Methods: By Using the birth registration data, every woman who gave birth between 2010 and 2016 in Korea was included in the analysis. Duration from marriage to pregnancy was measured by month and multiple socioeconomic and demographic characteristics were controlled. Preterm birth (<37 weeks) and low birth weight (<2.5 kg) were used for outcome variables. Descriptive statistics and logistic regression were used for data analysis with Stata. Results: The risks of preterm birth and low birth weight for native-born and foreign-born women differed according to the duration of marriage or birth order. For the first infant, foreign-born women were more likely to have pereterm birth or low birth weight than the native-born in the early stage of marriage but nativeborn women had higher risks than the foreign-born in the middle and later stage of marriage. For the second infant, foreign-born women were less likely to have pereterm birth or low birth weight than the native-born regardless of the duration of marriage. Conclusions: The results of this study demonstrates that the risk of preterm birth and low birth weight for foreign-born women is concentrated on the early stage of marriage. Institutional and cultural supports should be given to foreign-born women to help their early settlement in the Korean society.

This paper looks critically, in the light of the Capital Controversies of the 1950s and the 1960s, at the Neoclassical claim that the Funded-Pension system is economically superior to the Pay-As-You-Go (PAYG) pension system. This claim rests crucially upon the inverse relation between the rate of interest and the volume of investment (the investment demand function) and the positive relation between the capital intensity and labour productivity (the 'intensive- form' production function), The Capital Controversies proved that the two relations do not always hold; then, the claim in question loses much of its ground. Further, the absensce of the relations makes plenty room for effective demand in determining the level of income and the volome of employment even in the long period. This positive role of effective demand in the long period highlights the problems of the Funded-Pension system and, at the same time, supports the competitiveness of the PAYG pension system.

Recently, the advancement of information and communication technology(ICT) is expanding the connectivity through Internet of Things(IoT), and the media of connection is also expanding from wire/cable transmission to broadband wireless communication, which has significantly improved mobility. This hyperconnectivity has become a key element of the fourth industrial revolution, whereas the supervisory control network of purification plants in korea is operated as a communication network separated from the outside, thereby lagging in terms of connectivity. This is considered the best way to ensure security, and thus there is hardly any consideration of establishing alternatives to operate an efficient and stable communication network. Moreover, security for management of a commercialized communication network and network management solution may be accompanied by immense costs, making it more difficult to make new attempts. Therefore, to improve the conditions for the current supervisory control network of purification plants, this study developed a industrial security L2 switch that supports modbus TCP(Transmission Control Protocol) communication and encryption function of the transmission section. As a result, the communication security performance improved significantly, and the cost for implementing the network management system using Historical Trend and information of HMI(Human Machine Interface) could be reduced by approximately KRW 200 million. The results of this study may be applied to systems for gas, electricity and social safety nets that are infrastructure communication networks that are similar to purification plants.

The purpose of this study was to analyze university student's standard of self-efficacy and subjective well-being by the Encouragement Group Counseling Program which would be able to help the students to secure their reaction capability on changing social environment as well as school adaption. Thus, this study investigated how an application of the Encouragement Group Counseling Program affects on university students' self-efficacy and subjective well-being. As a result, it was revealed that the application of the Encouragement Group Counseling Program has a significant influence on both self-efficacy and subjective well-being. It seemed that people can be positive and have both self-confidence and psychological stability when they are encouraged. Therefore, this study suggested a necessity of the Encouragement Group Counseling Program which supports undergraduate students to have encouragement themselves.

This study aims to examine how the U.S. economic shocks affect the Japanese economy. It is widely believed that the U.S. economy has a significant effect on the Japanese economy. Actually, the U.S. accounts for a considerable amount of Japan's exports and imports. To the economic policymakers, it is very important to know how economic disturbances generated by the U.S. are transmitted to the Japanese economy. A vector autoregression(VAR) model is employed to investigate the international transmission channel of economic disturbances. The interactions of the U.S.-Japansese economy are investigated by using variance decompositions(VDCs). The results of this study provided the evidence that the U.S. economic shocks were important for the Japanese economy during the sample period. This study supports the notion of economic dependence of smaller open economy such as Japan as compared with larger economy such as the U.S.

As smartphones become widespread, numerous applications are developed and social issues related to software copyright are emerging. Software watermarking is digital watermarking technology applied to software and is a technology that can be used to recognize copyright owners. Generally, Java language is used to develop applications on the Android environment. The Java is an object-oriented language that supports method overloading and overriding. In this paper, we propose and implement a method generation based watermarking technique. As a result of evaluating the overhead due to the watermark, it was confirmed that the increase of the executable file size and the decrease of the execution speed are not large. Using the watermarking technique proposed in this paper, it is expected that copyright information can be verified when illegal copying is suspected or actual program is stolen, and piracy attempts will be prevented in advance.

This study focuses on the mediated effect of value of children with a purpose of examining the influence of maternal family-of-origin. A group of 247 mothers having young children in the age of 3 to 5 years participated in a survey which is consisted of the scale of family-of-origin experiences, parenting attitude and value of children. The study results show four aspects: First, family-of-origin experiences have positive effect on value of children. Second, maternal value of children also appears to be positive on parenting attitude. Third, family-of-origin experiences have positive effect on parenting attitude. Lastly, value of children shows mediated effect between family-of-origin experience and parenting attitude. In other words, having high level of positive awareness in family-of-origin experiences brings positive value of children, and the value of children brings positive effect on parenting attitude. Therefore, multilateral measures and methodical supports are needed to develop positive value of children, and consideration on father is required as a joint partner of rearing children.

Objective: This study aims to analyze the relationship between employment status and the prevalence of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) for manufacturing and construction workers. Methods: Subjects, who had or have worked as temporary workers in manufacturing or construction worksites for the longest career years, were extracted from the KNHANES(2007-2009) database. Characteristics of demographical, socio-economic, and smoking history were treated as independent variables. Considering that smoking experience and age are significantly influential in the prevalence of COPD, logistic regressions were analyzed after stratifying subjects according to their smoking experience and age. A two-stage stratified systematic sampling method was applied for the logistic regression analysis. Results: Age, gender, and household income level were associated with the prevalence of COPD in both smoking and non-smoking groups. However, employment status was only significant among smoking group. Smoking experience and age were significantly related to the prevalence of COPD among all age groups. In addition, employment status and household income level were also associated with the prevalence of COPD in young aged group. But gender was the only significant factor among the elder group. Conclusions: This study confirmed that employment status was a major social factor which may be related to the prevalence of COPD. Proper supports such as providing safety measures should be provided to temporary workers to manage their respiratory health.
