The effects of amine donors ($a:NH_2,\;b:NMe_2,\;c:NMePh,\;d:NPh_2$) and conjugation length on the molecular hyperpolarizabilities of a series of dipolar molecules have been theoretically investigated by using CPHF/6-31G method. The first hyperpolarizabilities (${\beta}$) of p-nitrobenzene derivatives increase with the donor in the order, $NH_2\;<\;NMe_2\;<\;NMePh\;<\;NPh_2$, whereas slightly different order is observed in more conjugated derivatives, i.e., $NH_2\;<\;NPh_2\;<\;NMe_2\;<\;NMePh$. The result has been attributed to the extent of charge transfer and torsion angle. Moreover, the results show that "non-traditional" ${\pi}$-conjugation effect exists in small compounds and decreases as the conjugation length between donor and acceptor increases.

Purpose: Traditional charity retail needs to change its communication in the online environment. This article examines the effectiveness of communication by online charity organizations in terms of the type of messages being delivered. Research design, data and methodology: Study 1 based on a sample of 120 Korean adults, we investigated whether charity asking messages for domestic people, compared to those for foreign people, prompt more favorable evaluations when framed with low (vs. high) construal levels. In Study 2, with 120 Korean adults sample, we tested whether emotional message appeals prompt a more favorable response than rational messages when framed in a socially close. Results: According to the result of Study 1, for the domestic recipients, donation messages situated in the near, compared to the distant, future induced more favorable reactions from potential donors. Moreover, in Study 2, emotional (vs. rational) message appeals generated more positive donation intentions when they were framed in the socially close situation. Conclusions: This research contributes that differing consumer construal have important implications for how marketing communication might best gain charitable support. This suggests that marketers who design a donation message should consider message's appeal and type to activate the potential donors' willingness to participate in the campaign.

본 연구는 굿 거버넌스 논의에 기반한 원조의 영향에 대한 경험적 분석을 통해 전통공여국 OECD DAC 원조와 수원국 부패 간 관계를 분석한다. 이를 위하여 본 연구는 2000년부터 2014년까지 OECD DAC 원조 데이터, 부패인식 지수, 세계은행 데이터, 민주주의 지수를 중심으로 고정효과모형과 PCSE 모형을 사용하였다. 통계 분석을 시행한 결과 OECD DAC의 원조가 아프리카 수원국의 부패에 부정적 영향을 주고 있음을 확인하였다. DAC의 원조는 아프리카 국가들의 부패 정도를 심화시키는 영향을 주며, 특히 민주주의가 발전한 국가에서 그 영향의 정도가 커짐을 확인할 수 있다. 이는 OECD DAC의 굿 거버넌스 중심의 원조와 수원국 부패 간 관계에 대해 보다 종합적인 후속 연구가 필요하다는 점과 함께, 지역적 특수성을 고려하였을 때에는 일반적으로 인식하고 있는 민주주의 제도 발전의 긍정적 효과가 오히려 역전되어 나타날 수 있다는 점을 제기한다.

본 연구는 대순진리회의 국제개발협력 활동을 살펴보고 향후 방향을 논의하는 것을 목적으로 한다. 또한, 대순사상적 관점에서 국제개발협력과 관련한 활동을 어떻게 이해할 수 있는지를 논의한다. 국제사회에서는 정부와 공공기관, 그리고 다자기구 등 전통적인 공여자뿐만 아니라 다양한 공여자의 적극적인 참여가 촉구되고 있다. 이에, 시민사회의 NGO 뿐만 아니라, 종교계의 FBO의 역할이 중요하게 인식되고 있다. 대순진리회는 2013년 대진국제자원봉사단이 공식적으로 발족함으로써, 종단의 3대 중요사업의 수행을 위한 해외 봉사 등을 더 확대하여, 국제개발협력 활동을 체계화해왔다. 이러한 활동과 더불어 2022년에는 한국국제협력단의 시민사회협력 프로그램에도 선정됨으로써 종단의 활동을 더욱 확대해 나가고 있다. 대순진리회는 신종교로써 여타 전통종교의 FBO에 비해 그 지원 규모와 범위가 넓지 않지만, 종단의 전문성과 역량(교육, 의료 등)을 활용해 전략적인 국제개발협력의 수행이 가능하다. 실제로, 이들 FBO와 대순진리회가 수행하는 사업의 본질과 내용에서는 유사했으며, 아직 지원 활동이 초기임을 감안할 때 괄목할만한 성과를 보였다. 무엇보다 대순진리회는 선교와 같은 종교적 목표 또는 수단을 배제하고, 그 재원이 도인들의 후원과 성금으로 이루어지기 때문에 더 의미 있다고 볼 수 있다. 향후 국제개발협력의 수행에 있어, 종단의 3대 중요사업(구호자선사업·사회복지사업·교육사업)의 전략적 연계를 기반으로 국제개발협력 활동의 전문성을 도모할 필요가 있을 것이다. 또한, 상생에 기반한 평화와 공존의 국제개발협력이 될 수 있도록 그 가치와 정신을 중요하게 인식할 필요가 있을 것이다.

This study compared news coverage of national and international disasters, Hurricane Katrina and the Haiti Earthquake, using textual analysis of The New York Times and The Washington Post. The results reveal that media framing of the historical cases developed in three stages upon the development of post-disaster relief: (1) Call for humanitarian assistance; (2) New Orleans under anarchy and hopelessness vs. Haiti under scrutiny with hope; and (3) Katrina effects. By framing the outcomes of the hurricane as the "Katrina effect," the media used the disaster as a reference point to explain other economic and political issues. In addition, analysis of relevant statements and press releases confirmed that different social actors involved in the relief process, such as donors, facilitators, and beneficiaries, contributed to the media framing of the issue, although the facilitators were most successful in transferring their own frames to media frames. This study makes important contributions to the field as it looks beyond traditional relationships between quantitative measures of media attention and aid allocation. For governmental and nongovernmental organizations in the area of humanitarian assistance, the findings of this study will assist them in media-relations in the future.

Objective: Several publications have established a relationship between sperm DNA damage and male factor infertility, based on data from America, Europe, and Asia. This study aimed to compare the extent of sperm DNA damage in sperm samples from Nigerian men with unexplained infertility and in sperm samples from a fertile group composed of sperm donors who had successfully impregnated a female partner naturally or through assisted conception. Methods: A total of 404 men underwent male fertility evaluation at Androcare Laboratories and Cryobank participated in this study. Semen analysis and a sperm chromatin structure assay (SCSA) were performed on all subjects. Results: The men in the unexplained infertility group were slightly older than the men in the fertile sperm group ($36{\pm}10$ years vs. $32{\pm}6$ years, p=0.051). No significant difference was observed between the two groups in semen analysis parameters ($p{\geq}0.05$). Men in the unexplained infertility group with normal semen parameters had a significantly higher DNA fragmentation index (DFI) than men in the fertile sperm group ($27.5%{\pm}7.0%$ vs. $14.1%{\pm}5.3%$, p<0.05). In the unexplained infertility group, 63% of the men had a DFI greater than 20%, compared to 4% in the fertile sperm group. In the unexplained infertility group, 15.2% of the subjects had a DFI greater than 30%, compared to 1% in the fertile sperm group. Conclusion: Our study showed that the SCSA may be a more reliable predictor of fertility potential than traditional semen analysis in cases of unexplained infertility.

Objectives : Oryeong-san was composed of Alismatis Rhizoma, Atractylodis Rhizoma Alba, Poria Sclerotium, Polyporus, Cinnamomi Cortex, and known to have hundreds of chemical compounds. The aim of this study was to screen chemical compounds constituting Oryeong-san with the drug-likeness and oral bioavailability from the analysis of their physicochemical properties. Methods : A list of chemical compounds of Oryeong-san was obtained from TM-MC(database of medicinal materials and chemical compounds in Northeast Asian traditional medicine). To remove redundant compounds, the SMILES (Simplified Molecular Input Line Entry System) strings of each compound were identified. All of the physicochemical properties for the compounds were calculated using the DruLiTo(Drug Likeness Tool). Drug-likeness was estimated by QED(Quantitative Estimate of Druglikeness) and OB(Oral bioavailability) was checked based on the Veber's rules. Results : A total of 475 compounds were obtained by eliminating duplication among 544 compounds of 5 medicinal materials. Analysis of the physicochemical properties revealed that the most common values were MW(molecular weight) 200~300 g/mol, ALOGP(octanol-water partition coefficient) 1~2, HBA(number of hydrogen bond acceptors) 0~1, HBD(number of hydrogen bond donors) 0, PSA(polar surface area) 0~50 angstrom, ROTB(number of rotatable bonds) 1, AROM(number of aromatic rings) 0, and ALERT(number of structural alerts) 1. QED had 93% of the values between 0.2 and 0.7, and OB had 90% of the value of TRUE. Conclusions : We in this paper screened the candidate active compounds of Oryeong-san using the QED and Veber's rules. In the future, we will use the screening results to analyze the mechanism of Oryeong-san based on systems pharmacology.
