We evaluated the effects of heat stress on physiological responses and milk production in Holstein and Jersey cows reared in Korea. The mean average temperature-humidity index (THI) increased significantly from May to August and then decreased until October. The mean average rectal temperature (RT) was increased in Holstein cows compared with Jersey cows, as the THI values increased from 61 to 85. The average respiratory rate (RR) was increased in Jersey cows compared with Holstein cows when the THI value increased from 61 to 85. The average surface temperature of the rumen and udder was higher in Jersey cows than in Holstein cows when the THI value increased from 61 to 85. No significant difference was noted with respect to relative serum volumes between the breeds and THI ranges, but we measured significant changes in serum pH in Holstein and Jersey cows when the THI value increased from 61 to 85. Milk production was not significantly changed in Holstein cows when the THI increased from 61 to 85, but milk production and milk protein content were significantly altered in Jersey cows when the THI increased from 61 to 85. Current study suggests that Holstein cows still have an advantage in terms of the economic returns of dairy farms in Korea. Therefore, further research is required regarding the heat tolerance of Jersey cows in Korean climatic conditions.

전세계적인 기후변화로 인해 국내 평균기온과 여름철 폭염 강도가 심화되면서 고온스트레스로 인가축 피해를 완화하기 위한 사양 전략이 필요한 상황이다. 국내육계사의경우 터널식 환기계사나 쿨링패드 등 시설을 설치하여 여름철 실내온도를 저감하고 있다. 그러나 쿨링패드의 경우 계사내부의 습도를 증가시켜 역으로 피해를 유발할 수 있어 사용시 주의를 요한다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 국내의 대표적 계사 형태인 터널식 환기 무창 육계사에서 쿨링패드를 가동시 계사 내부의 온도 저감 효과를 더위지수(temperature-humidity index; THI)로 함께 평가하고자 하였다. 본 연구에서는 우리나라의 각각 다른 지역에 위치한 8개의 터널식 환기 무창계사 육계농가를 대상으로 여름철(6~9월) 온도와 습도 데이터를 수집하였다. 해당 농가들은 쿨링패드의 유무에 따라 2개의 처리군으로 나뉘었으며, 출하 2주 전 기준으로 온습도 데이터를 추출하여 계사 내·외부간 온습도 및 THI의 편차를 구하였다. 메타분석 결과, 여름철 가장 더운 낮시간대인 14시를 기준으로 대조구 대비 쿨링패드 보유 농가에서 내외부 온도의 차이가 크고, 해가 지는 16시대에 내외부 온도의 차이가 줄어드는 것으로 관찰되었다(P<0.05). 쿨링패드에 따른 상대습도에 대한 유의적인 차이는 없었으나(P>0.05), 스트레스를 수치화한 THI 지수로 환산하였을 때, 오후 3시부터 대조구 대비 쿨링패드 보유 처리구가 THI 편차 값이 감소하여 효과가 줄어드는 것으로 판단되었다(P<0.05). 본 연구의 결과 14시 쿨링패드를 보유한 농가는 쿨링패드가 없는 대조구 농가보다 계사내외부 온도차가 크게 나타났고, 이는 계사내부 온도저감에 효과가 있다고 판단할 수 있다. 따라서 쿨링패드 사용시 계사내 더위피해를 저감하는 데 효과가 있을 것으로 생각되며, 본 연구의 결과는 하절기 육계의 고온스트레스 저감을 위해 쿨링패드 운용시 참고자료로 활용할 수 있을 것으로 생각된다.

This paper aims to analyze whether company characteristics are potential determinants of human resource accounting (HRA) disclosure practices by Vietnamese listed companies. It examines the human resource disclosure level of 204 companies by content analysis of these companies' annual reports. The study has relied on a multiple linear regression to test the association between a number of corporate attributes and the extent of human resource disclosure in companies' annual reports. The extent of human resource disclosure was measured using unweighted human resource disclosure index. The explanatory variables considered in this study were firm size, firm age, profitability, leverage, industry profile, and auditor type. The results revealed that the most influential variable for explaining firms' variation in human resource disclosure is firm size followed by firm age and profitability. Thus, it can be concluded that firm size, firm age and profitability are major predictors that may affect the variety of HRA disclosure practices on firms listed in the Vietnam Stock Exchange. However, neither industry profile nor auditor type seems to explain differences in human resource disclosure practices between Vietnamese listed firms, indicating that company's industry profile and auditor type are not a matter for the company to disclose HRA information.

Purpose: Research on attracting foreign direct investment (FDI) plays an important role in helping provinces attract more FDI projects. However, with local competition, FDI enterprises also have to consider their investment. This study evaluates the provincial competitiveness to attract FDI in Thai Nguyen province, a province of Vietnam. In which provincial distribution of competitiveness is measured through nine indicators. Research design, data, and methodology: The study collects data (FDI and the provincial competitiveness index) from 2006 to 2020. The study uses Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) to text the impact of distribution of competitivenes on foreign direct investment. With time-series, the ARDL is suitable for data analysis. Results: The regression results indicate that the competition index of market entry and informal costs negatively impact attracting FDI into the province; The human resource training quality index has a positive effect on FDI. The results show that FDI enterprises pay much attention to business establishment procedures, hidden costs, and quality of human resources in the province. Conclusions: At the same time, in terms of practice, the results of this study, the authors also offer solutions to help improve the ability to attract FDI into Thai Nguyen province. The significant provincial competitiveness indicators should be taken into account for improvement first.
