  • Objective: The purpose of this study was to assess prognosis after resection of giant tumors (including lobectomy or pneumonectomy) in the mediastinum. Materials and Methods: Patients with resection of a giant tumor in the mediastinum of the thoracic cavity received ICU treatment including dynamic monitoring of vital signs, arterial blood pressure and CVP detection, determination of hemorrhage, pulmonary function and blood gas assay, treatment of relevant complications, examination and treatment with fiber optic bronchoscopy, transfusion and hemostasis as well as postoperative removal of ventilators by invasive and non-invasive sequential mechanical ventilation technologies. Results: Six patients were rehabilitated successfully after ICU treatment with controlled postoperative errhysis and pulmonary infection by examination and treatment with fiber optic bronchoscopy without second application of ventilators and tubes after sequential mechanical ventilation technology. One patient died from multiple organ failure under ICU treatment due to postoperative active hemorrhage after second operative hemostasis. Conclusions: During peri-operative period of resection of giant tumor (including lobectomy or pneumonectomy) in mediastinum ofthe thoracic cavity, the ICU plays an important role in dynamic monitoring of vital signs, treatment of postoperative stress state, postoperative hemostasis and successful removal of ventilators after sequential mechanical ventilation.

  • 영화 <기생충>은 칸 영화제(Cannes Film Festival)에서 황금종려상을 수상하고 2020년 2월 아카데미 작품상도 받아 기념비적 평가를 받는다. 일반적으로 평론가들은 이 영화를 격렬하게 뒤틀린 계급격차, 계급의 분노와 같이 계급(class)간 갈등을 주제로 논평한다. 영화 <기생충>은 마르크시즘(Marxism)의 정형화된 계급투쟁 구도보다 "악한이 등장하지 않는 비극", "문화로 체화된 내재적 갈등"을 표현하고 있다. 다시 말해 부르디외(Pierre Bourdieu)가 주장한 기체화(substrate)된 현대사회의 계급관계를 표현한다고 볼 수 있다. 영화 <기생충>은 이념 대립이 과잉인 한국사회에 논쟁의 주제가 되었다. <기생충>이란 키워드는 문화 콘텐츠가 아닌 정치권의 논쟁에서 차용된 경향도 발견할 수 있다. 기생충을 좌파 선동 영화라 치부하는 주장도 있지만 정작 사회주의가 국가이념인 중국에서는 개봉을 금지시켰다. 반면 이어령은 영화 <기생충>이 이분법적 시각으로 사회현상을 바라보지 않고 겹 시각(dual view)으로 바라보고 있다고 주장하며 긴장 속에서 인간을 바라보는 눈을 잃지 않았다고 주장한다. 이런 관점은 생명자본론 (vital capitalism)에 기초한다. 생명자본론은 계급투쟁 갈등에서 역사발전 근인을 찾지 않고 생명이 가진 고유 특성 토포필리아(topophilia), 네오필리아(neophilia), 바이오필리아(biophilia)로 역사와 사회를 해석한다. 또한 문명 발전을 홉스 (Hobbes)의 포식주의 단계, 미셀 세르(Michel Serres)의 숙주-기생 단계, 마굴리스(Margulis)의 상호 기생, '상생'의 단계로 발전해왔다고 조망한다. 이 논문에서는 생명자본의 개념을 소개하고 문화자본에 관한 선행연구를 분석한 후 영화<기생충>의 내용 중 문화자본에서 주장하는 아비투스(habitus), 기초한 장(fields)의 개념으로 해석된 장면(차별, 취향, 교육, 기생)을 중심으로 생명자본적인 재해석을 시도한다. 선행연구의 이론적 기초가 되는 문화자본론은 콘텐츠 해석에 있어 자기이해의 단일동기로 해석의 다양성과 우연성을 저감할 가능성이 높고 도식화된 해석이 될 수 있다. 또한 연속론 즉 시대와 환경은 변해도 자본주의의 속성은 연속된다는 주장은 새로운 하부구조(기술혁신, 생산성 증대)의 변화와 이에 의해 변화되는 사회관계와 개인의 역할을 해석하기 어려울 수 있다. 이 연구에서는 영화 <기생충(parasite)>을 텍스트로 선행연구들이 해석의 기초한 문화자본적 접근방법에 대응하여 생명자본의 해석적 대안의 가능성을 발견하였다. 이러한 탐색적 연구는 한국의 극단적 이념 풍토에 대한 대안의 시도라 할 수 있다.

  • Business leaders have made great efforts to increase their organizations' competitive capability, and raising employees' job performance is considered as one of the essential solutions. Thus, it is vital to properly identify factors that affect the job performance since this will be the basis for managers to propose recommendations to increase employees' job performance. The study seeks to investigate the relationships between psychological capital, job satisfaction, and job performance of employees in Vietnam, a developing country in South-East Asia. In this study, psychological capital is considered as a high-order construct. The mixed research method is used in this study. Qualitative research method is used to form the official survey questionnaire. Quantitative research method is used for investigating the relationships between concepts. Research data are collected from 848 interviewees via both face-to-face and email surveys. The findings show that psychological capital has positive relationships with job satisfaction and job performance. Job satisfaction also has a positive impact on job performance. In particular, job satisfaction shows the mediating role in the impact of employees' psychological capital on their job performance. Based on the results, the study also provides recommendations related to psychological capital and job satisfaction assisting managers to increase employees' job performance.

  • The purpose of this research was to determine the degree to which Small-to-Medium Enterprise (SME) owners and operators in Mountain Province were willing to take on financial risk to invest in the capital markets as a potential additional source of income, as well as the extent to which these five indicator variables-particularly their income, expenses, financial goals, liquid cash, and insurance coverage-were influenced by demographic factors. The study used a quantitative approach and employed a descriptive survey research method. The results show that the SME Owners and Operators in Mountain Province have minimal knowledge of capital market investments which makes them moderate investors with a neutral level of financial risk tolerance toward capital market investment. Their marital status, net income, and educational attainment significantly influence their financial risk tolerance level. The respondents also believe that engaging in the capital markets will grow their businesses. Further, the extent of influence of Income, Expenses, Liquid Cash, and Insurance Cover on the financial risk tolerance of the SME owners and operators in Mountain Province a great extent; thus, making them careful in investing in the capital markets, and it is primarily affected by their Net Income. Consequently, the financial goals of SME owners and operators in Mountain Province have a vital role in their financial risk tolerance level.

  • In a knowledge-based society, a firm's intellectual capital represents the wealth of ideas and ability to innovate, which are indispensable elements for the future growth. Therefore, the intellectual capital is evidently recognized as the most valuable asset in the organization. Considered as intangible asset, intellectual capital is the basis based on which firms can foster their sustainable competitive advantage. One of the essential components of the intellectual capital is a social capital, indicating the firm's individual members' ability to build a firm's social networks. As such, social capital is a powerful concept necessary for understanding the emergence, growth, and functioning of network linkages. The more social capital a firm is equipped with, the more successfully it can establish new social networks. By providing a shared context for social interactions, social capital facilitates the creation of new linkages in the organizational setting. This concept of "person-environment fit" has long been prevalent in the management literature. The fit is grounded in the interaction theory of behavior. The interaction perspective has a fairly long theoretical tradition, beginning with proposition that behavior is a function of the person and environment. This view asserts that neither personal characteristics nor the situation alone adequately explains the variance in behavioral and attitudinal variables. Instead, the interaction of personal and situational variables accounts for the greatest variance. Accordingly, the person-environment fit is defined as the degree of congruence or match between personal and situational variables in producing significant selected outcomes. In addition, information systems acceptance factors enable organizations to build large electronic communities with huge knowledge resources. For example, the Intranet helps to build knowledge-based communities, which in turn increases employee communication and collaboration. It is vital since through active communication and collaborative efforts can employees build common basis for shared understandings that evolve into stronger relationships embedded with trust. To this aim, the electronic communication network allows the formation of social network to be more viable to rapid mobilization and assimilation of knowledge assets in the organizations. The purpose of this study is to investigate: (1) the impact of person-environment fit(person-job fit, person-person fit, person-group fit, person-organization fit) on social capital(network ties, trust, norm, shared language); (2) the impact of information systems acceptance factors(availability, perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use) on social capital; (3) the impact of social capital on personal performance(work performance, work satisfaction); and (4) the mediating role of social capital between person-environment fit and personal performance. In general, social capital is defined as the aggregated actual or collective potential resources which lead to the possession of a durable network. The concept of social capital was originally developed by sociologists for their analysis in social context. Recently, it has become an increasingly popular jargon used in the management literature in describing organizational phenomena outside the realm of transaction costs. Since both environmental factors and information systems acceptance factors affect the network of employee's relationships, this study proposes that these two factors have significant influence on the social capital of employees. The person-environment fit basically refers to the alignment between characteristics of people and their environments, thereby resulting in positive outcomes for both individuals and organizations. In addition, the information systems acceptance factors have rather direct influences on the social network of employees. Based on such theoretical framework, namely person-environment fit and social capital theory, we develop our research model and hypotheses. The results of data analysis, based on 458 employee cases are as follow: Firstly, both person-environment fit(person-job fit, person-person fit, person-group fit, person-organization fit) and information systems acceptance factors(availability perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use) significantly influence social capital(network ties, norm, shared language). In addition, person-environment fit is a stronger factor influencing social capital than information systems acceptance factors. Secondly, social capital is a significant factor in both work satisfaction and work performance. Finally, social capital partly plays a mediating role between person-environment fit and personal performance. Our findings suggest that it is vital for firms to understand the importance of environmental factors affecting social capital of employees and accordingly identify the importance of information systems acceptance factors in building formal and informal relationships of employees. Firms also need to reflect their recognition of the importance of social capital's mediating role in boosting personal performance. Some limitations arisen in the course of the research and suggestions for future research directions are also discussed.

  • The stock market serves as a representation of economic well-being in a country. Along with the myriad of economic predictors, specific knowledge possession may lead to different macro consequences of stock performance and market value. This study empirically investigates the capacity of possessing excellent intellectual capital to increase the performance and values of listed banks in Indonesia. The selection of banks as the primary data represents such sectors' capability to attract, employ, or exploit the excellent internal capacity under the discussion of resource-based view theory. At best to the authors' knowledge, this topic's findings are still elusive and debatable upon considering the direct and indirect relationships between the proposed exogenous and endogenous variables. Eighteen listed banks form the panel data throughout 2011-2016. This study employs a path analysis and Sobel test to obtain the results of the proposed hypothesis. The results report some positive relationships of the intellectual capital to firms' performances and values, directly and indirectly, with a substantial effect on the second model compared to the first model. This study highlighted knowledge's capacity as a vital basis to gauge the banks' performance and valuation. However, a better formulation of intellectual capital is required to capture a better measurement.

  • Purpose: Although foreign capital flows have played a vital role in fostering the economic growth in recipient countries, there are some concerns about the adverse impact of international capital flows on the banking stability. Hence, the study revisits this issue to explore the relationship between the different types of foreign investments and banking stability in ASEAN region. Research design, data and methodology: Based on the bank-level data of 96 commercial banks and country-level in six ASEAN countries from 2008 to 2019, we perform the multivariate regression analysis and provide a variety of robustness tests. Results: Our empirical evidence shows the volatility of foreign portfolio investments has significantly negative effect on the banking stability, besides that of foreign other investments has the similar influence but the result is relatively less pronounced in some robustness tests. Additionally, increasing trade cooperation and international distribution may lead countries to face higher risk of banking instability driven from these international investments. Meanwhile, the impact of foreign direct investments is positive, but the evidence is the least obvious. Conclusions: Our findings suggest policy-makers in ASEAN and emerging nations as a whole should carefully consider when building policies-related to mitigate the adverse impact of foreign capital flows.

  • The aim of this study is to answer the straightforward question of whether the implementation of IC has fueled non-interest incomes of banks or not. By utilizing the data of 26 domestic banks in Vietnam and employing the value-added intellectual coefficient model (VAIC) as the measure of IC efficiency, our empirical evidence manifests that IC plays a vital role in fostering non-interest incomes of banks. When dividing VAIC into different components, we find that structure capital employed (SCE) is the most important component to enhance the expansion of these incomes compared with other components including capital employed efficiency (CEE), human capital efficiency (HCE). These findings remain unchanged through some robustness tests performed. While the main driver of IC and SCE, CEE component becomes a substantial advantage to increase non-interest incomes in large banks. Meanwhile, the degree of impact of SCE is higher in small banks compared with large ones. Overall, this study would provide a deep insight into the role of IC in the transformation into non-interest income activities of banks in an emerging country, and therefore our findings would be useful for both scholars and policy-makers in Vietnam, where has undergone the period of major reforms in banking system.

  • Social network has been expected to increase the value of social capital through online user interactions which remove geographical boundary. However, online users in social networks face challenges of assessing whether the anonymous user and his/her providing information are reliable or not because of limited experiences with a small number of users. Therefore. it is vital to provide a successful trust model which builds and maintains a web of trust. This study aims to propose a prediction method for the interpersonal trust which measures the level of trust about information provider in Facebook. To develop the prediction method. we first investigated behavioral research for trust in social science and extracted 5 antecedents of trust : lenience, ability, steadiness, intimacy, and similarity. Then we measured the antecedents from the history of interactive behavior and built prediction models using the two decision trees and a computational model. We also applied the proposed method to predict interpersonal trust between Facebook users and evaluated the prediction accuracy. The predicted trust metric has dynamic feature which can be adjusted over time according to the interaction between two users.

  • The capacity expansion problem has been defined. Existing literatures on capacity expansion problems have been reviewed and unified under a structure of problem domain. The problem domain has been defined by three relavent coordinates; function or objective of the project, consideration of resource allocation, and consideration of project sequencing. Long range planning is of vital importance in setting up ultimately efficient capital investment plans to meet immediate demand increase. Simplified expansion sequencing example problems have been introduced and solved to help understanding of a solution scheme.
