Purpose - This study aims to examine whether key differences in characteristics of unions have significant implications for absenteeism. To uncover what characteristics of union made workers make decisions to be absent, this study used such key dimensions of unionism as democracy, cooperative strategy of a union, and d density rate. Research design and methodology - The research model of this study is that absenteeism has positive relations with union's democracy and density. But it has negative relations with union cooperative strategy. This study was conducted by survey method on 333local unionized business entities of metal industry in South Korea. Results - The result shows that significant and positive relationship between unions with high density rates, democracy and absenteeism which is in line with the argument of the previous studies. Different from the expectation, the hypotheses 2, it has been shown that there is positive relation between cooperative strategy of union and the decision of workers to be absent. Conclusions - Employers with unions with high density rates could not fully exercise disciplinary power against those workers absent at workplace since a strong union shields them effectively from punishments by employers.

노조가입 결정요인을 횡단면 분석한 결과 한국에서 노조가입은 노동자 개인의 노조가입의사(수요 측면)가 아닌 노조가입 가능성(공급 측면)에 주로 좌우되고, 노조 유무는 기업체 규모와 밀접한 상관관계를 가지고 있다. 직무 만족도는 무노조기업 노조가입의사에는 통계적으로 유의미한 영향을 미치지만, 노조가입에는 유의미한 영향을 미치지 않는다. 앞으로 노조 조직률을 제고하려면 노조가입 가능성을 확대해야 하며, 이를 위해서는 제도적 요인과 행위주체 요인을 중시해야 한다.

Background: Oxidized low-density lipoprotein (ox-LDL) causes vascular endothelial cell inflammatory response and apoptosis and plays an important role in the development and progression of atherosclerosis. Ginsenoside compound K (CK), a metabolite produced by the hydrolysis of ginsenoside Rb1, possesses strong anti-inflammatory effects. However, whether or not CK protects ox-LDL-damaged endothelial cells and the potential mechanisms have not been elucidated. Methods: In our study, cell viability was tested using a 3-(4, 5-dimethylthiazol-2yl-)-2,5-diphenyl tetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay. Expression levels of interleukin-6, monocyte chemoattractant protein-1, tumor necrosis factor-${\alpha}$, intercellular adhesion molecule-1, and vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 were determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and Western blotting. Mitochondrial membrane potential (${\Delta}{\Psi}m$) was detected using JC-1. The cell apoptotic percentage was measured by the Annexin V/ propidium iodide (PI) assay, lactate dehydrogenase, and caspase-3 expression. Apoptosis-related proteins, nuclear factor $(NF)-{\kappa}B$, and mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPK) signaling pathways protein expression were quantified by Western blotting. Results: Our results demonstrated that CK could ameliorate ox-LDL-induced human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) inflammation and apoptosis, $NF-{\kappa}B$ nuclear translocation, and the phosphorylation of p38 and c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK). Moreover, anisomycin, an activator of p38 and JNK, significantly abolished the anti-apoptotic effects of CK. Conclusion: These results demonstrate that CK prevents ox-LDL-induced HUVECs inflammation and apoptosis through inhibiting the $NF-{\kappa}B$, p38, and JNK MAPK signaling pathways. Thus, CK is a candidate drug for atherosclerosis treatment.

본 논문은 1963년부터 2003년까지의 40년간의 국내의 금속, 화학, 금융, 자동차 운수부문(sector)의 조합원 수가 시기별로 어떤 증가나 감소 패턴을 보이는가를 규명한다. 또한 이 4개 부문에 속한 산업(industry)인 금속부문의 자동차 조립, 자동차 부품, 조선산업, 화학부문의 시멘트, 석유정제, 제약산업, 금융부문의 민간은행업, 그리고 자동차 운수부문의 시내버스업에서 노조 조직률을 추정하여 산업별로 상대적 노조규모의 차이를 보여준다. 이러한 노조규모의 절대적인 혹은 상대적인 규모의 시기별 변화나 산업별 차이가 각 부문이나 산업이 처한 경제적 환경(성장 단계나 경로)과 제도적 환경(정부개입의 유형이나 정도) 및 사회적 환경(근로자들의 학력, 성별, 연령 혹은 회사의 규모 등의 산업구조)에 영향을 받는 사용자들이나 노조의 태도나 선택에 의해 설명된다. 부문이나 산업수준의 다양성을 고려한 본 논문의 미시적인 사회 경제적 이론들은 선진국의 국제비교 노사관계의 최근 연구들에서 나타나는 미시적인 연구의 필요성의 증가와 맥을 같이한다.

이 글은 "한국노동패널조사" 2003년~2015년 자료를 이용해 우리나라 지역별 노조 조직률 변화가 같은 지역 미조직 노동자들의 임금에 미치는 영향을 추정한다. 주요 결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 노동조합은 비조합원 평균 임금에 상당히 크고 유의한 긍정적 영향을 미친다. 지역 내 노조 조직률이 10% 포인트 상승하면 같은 지역 비조합원 평균 임금은 약 5% 증가한다. 둘째, 이러한 긍정적 효과는 파급범위가 넓다. 여성, 청년, 저학력, 비정규직, 서비스업, 중소기업 노동자 등 노동시장 취약집단 비조합원의 임금도 지역 내 노조 조직률로부터 긍정적 영향을 받는다. 셋째, 비조합원의 경우와 달리 노조 조합원 평균 임금은 지역 내 노조 조직률 변화에 민감하게 반응하지 않는다. 우리나라 임금노동자 중 노조 조합원 비율은 10%, 비조합원 비율은 90%이다. 이 글의 추정 결과는 우리나라 대다수 노동자의 임금에 큰 영향을 미치는 노동시장 제도적 요인을 규명한다는 점에서 중요한 함의가 있다. 우리나라 비노조 부문의 저임금이 노동조합 때문이라는 사회 일각의 주장은 실증적으로 타당하지 않다. 오히려 그간의 노조 조직률 하락으로 인해 비노조 부문 노조 결성 위협이 감소하고 노동조합의 일반적 노동 표준 제고 기능이 약화되면서 노조 조합원보다 비조합원이 더 큰 임금 손실을 입었을 가능성이 높다. "노조할 권리"를 보장하고 확대하는 전략은, 한편으로는 조합 내부에서 자신의 권리를 보호받는 노동자 비율을 높임으로써, 다른 한편으로는 조합 외부 미조직 노동자들의 노동조건에도 긍정적 파급효과를 미침으로써, 우리 경제 일자리의 전반적 질을 개선하는 데 기여할 것이다.

As a part of the study for the materials development of compound feelings, therefore, this study investigated into the effects of the colors of warp and weft on the overall colors of fabrics, along with the visual changes of colors by the measuring angle of both warp and weft, by means of cross-dyeing of cotton/PET union fabrics. First, the dyeing of cotton and PET fabrics individually with the same color, the dyeing of PET fabrics followed by that of cotton fabrics resulted in a small difference in color than the dyeing in the reversed order. Second, in the case of the dyeing of cotton/PET union fabrics with the color of one fiber fixed and that of the other in ten colors, the color of cotton fiber, which is warp, gave much influence. In addition, the color change was remarkable among complementary colors, while it was negligible among adjacent colors. Third, in the case of dyeing of cotton/PET union fabrics with the color of one fiber fixed and that of the other in ten colors, the results were different by the measuring angle. When PET was fixed in green and cotton was dyed in ten colors, color-deepening was observed by the inclination in the direction of warp and weft without the dominance over all colors like cotton. When cotton was dyed in red and PET in ten colors, the color of PET appeared dimly in the horizontal case by the direction of the light, and red appeared as inclined in the direction of warp and weft. This is because of the dominance of cotton color over the overall color, since the density of cotton fiber, the warp of union fabrics, is higher than that of PET, the weft. Thus, this is to be considered in the selection of the warp's color. In view of the above results, the color changes are outstanding when the color of warp dominates the overall color and when the colors of warp and weft are complementary, in comparison with the case when the colors are adjacent. The colors also change by the measuring angle.

This study investigated into the effects of the colors of warp and weft on the overall colors of fabrics, along with the visual changes of colors by the measuring angle of both warp and weft, by means of cross-dyeing of cotton/PET union fabrics. First, the reflectance of polyester is higher than that of cotton over the whole wavelength. Second, the dyeing of polyester uses the disperse dyes and that of cotton uses fiber-reactive dyes, the differences in the features of dyes and the reflectance of fabrics cause the same colors to be perceived different by the angle of observation. Third, the dyeing of cotton and PET fabrics individually with the same color revealed that the dyeing of cotton and PET fabrics in one bath resulted in a small difference in colors between the two fabrics than the separate dyeing in two bathes. In the case of one bath, the dyeing of PET fabrics followed by that of cotton fabrics resulted in a small difference in color than the dyeing in the reversed order. Fourth, when cotton/PET union fabrics were dyed in ten colors, the difference in colors between the two fabrics was small; and due to the difference in the density of warp and weft of union fabrics, some difference was detected in comparison with the results of separate dyeing of cotton and PET fabrics in one bath. The latter did not produce the changes in color which was recognizable with the naked eyes. Fifth, when cotton/PET union fabrics were dyed in ten colors, any color change was not observed by the measuring angle, and the inclination in the direction of warp or weft resulted in the tendency of color-deepening. In the measurement of the latter, the inclination in the direction of weft resulted in the higher color-deepening than that in the direction of warp, due to the influence of weft.

Background: Gallbladder carcinoma (GBC) is the most common carcinoma of the biliary system. Among its research models, orthotopic xenograft models, important research tools, have been rarely reported in the literature however. Aim: To explore establishment of an orthotopic xenograft model and to evaluate the advantage and disadvantage as compared with other models. Materials and Methods: Subcutaneous xenograft and orthotopic xenograft models of gallbladder carcinoma in nude mice were established and compared with human gallbladder carcinomas. Results: For the orthotopic xenograft model and clinical gallbladder carcinomas, the lymph node metastatic rates were 69.2% and 53.3% (p>0.05); ascites generation rates, 38.5% and 11.7%(p<0.05); liver invasive rates, 100% and 61.7%(p<0.05); and lymphatic vessel densities (LVD), $10.4{\pm}3.02$ and $8.77{\pm}2.92$ (p>0.05), respectively. In the subcutaneous xenograft model, no evidence of ascites generation, lymph node metastasis and liver metastasis were found, and its LVD was lower ($4.56{\pm}1.53$, p<0.05). Conclusions: Compared with the subcutaneous xenograft model, the orthotopic xenograft model better simulates clinical gallbladder carcinoma in terms of metastasis and invasion, which may be attributed to the difference in microenvironment and LVD.

In the process of simplifying the complex fate of the plant into a binary state, the information loss is inevitable. To minimize the information loss, the quantification of plant safety status has been formulated through the combination of the probability density function arising from the sensor measurement and the membership function representing the expectation of the state of the system. Therefore, in this context, the safety index is introduced in an attempt to quantify the plant status from the perspective of safety. The combination of probability density function and membership function is achieved through the integration of the fuzzy intersection of the two functions, and it often is not a simple task to integrate the fuzzy intersection due to the complexity that is the result of the fuzzy intersection. Therefore, a methodology based on the Algebra of Logic is used to express the fuzzy intersection and the fuzzy union of the arbitrary functions analytically. These exact analytical expressions are then numerically integrated by the application of Monte Carlo method. The benchmark tests for rectangular area and both fuzzy intersection and union of two normal distribution functions have been performed. Lastly, the safety index was determined for the Core Reactivity Control of Yonggwang 3&4 using the presented methodology.

To investigate the value of expression of annexin A2, microvessel density (MVD) and CD105 in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) tissues and adjacent normal tissues, immunohistochemical staining was used. The positive expression rate of Annexin A2 and the MVD in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma tissues was higher than that in in adjacent normal tissues (p<0.005). Expression of Annexin A2 and MVD correlated with histological grade (p<0.05). MVD of cancers in TNM stage IIb was higher than that in TNM stageI~IIa (p<0.026). Cancerous tissues with Annexin A2 staining grade 3+ had lower MVD than the tissues with the other Annexin A2 staining grade (p<0.05). Patients with high MVD had worse prognosis. However, our study did not confirm Annexin A2 was an independent risk factor for patients with PDAC. We confirmed MVD labeled by CD105 was an independent risk factor for patients with PDAC and had moderate predictive value of prognosis.
