  • The increase of international trade across countries and borders results in increased risks associated with the inflow of new pests and diseases. These risks are likely to be increased more rapidly due to climate change. Some countries implement strict regulations on imports to prevent these risks and protect biosecurity, food safety, and public health. However, the problems arise when the diseases and pests are found in a country where their economic structure largely depends on agricultural exports and cause ripple effects on other industries and ecosystems. Therefore, establishing an effective quarantine system is essential to protect and recover from the damage caused by non-native diseases and pests. This study's objectives are 1) analyzing the agricultural policies relate to the quarantine system on diseases and pests in Korea, 2) evaluating the Korea plant quarantine system's value, and 3) simulating plant quarantine policy strategies. We estimated the Korean quarantine system's benefits on diseases and pests to reach these objectives. The benefits are measured with a willingness to pay from respondents surveyed by the contingent valuation method (CVM). The CVM approach directly asks people how much they would willingly pay for food security. Finally, the Korean quarantine system's values are simulated with several policy scenarios and different scales of infection at the regional level. The results of this study can deliver policy implications on the quarantine system innovation in developing countries including Asia.

  • 본 연구의 목적은 우리나라의 대표적인 낙후지역이자 고추주산지의 하나인 경상북도 봉화군의 고추 농산업의 혁신환경을 분석하고, 이를 토대로 지역 고추 농산업의 육성 전락을 클러스터 관점에 기초하여 제시하는 것이다. 봉화군 고추농산업의 혁신인프라는 매우 취약하고 산학연관 네트워크 또한 활성화되어 있지 못하므로, 클러스터 발전단계 상으로 단순 고추 주산지 상태에 머무르고 있는 것으로 나타났다. 그러나 지식커뮤니티의 결성 및 지자체의 적극적인 산학연관 네트워크 육성 의지 둥에 따라 혁신환경이 점진적으로 개선되는 변화양상도 확인된다. 이를 토대로 본 연구에서는 봉화 고추 농산업을 클러스터화를 위해서는 학습 커뮤니티 조직의 활성화, 공동 브랜드 구축, 네트워크 매개기관으로서의 농업기술센터의 역할 제고, 지식창출의 중심 연계기관으로서 지역 대학과의 연계 강화 등에 초점을 두어야 함을 제안한다.

  • While many criminal studies have focused on the motivation of offenders and avoidance of victimization in the micro perspective, there have been a number of theoretical developments emphasizing space as a direct factor that influences the incidence of crime. The main purpose of this study is to analyze the effects of regional characteristics and violent crime incidence in Korea. Applying diverse spatial econometrics models that have less been utilized in the crime literature, this study finds an important association between spatial accessibility and crime incidence. The results suggest that the type of predominant business and the level of road accessibility affect the vulnerability of areas with respect to the incidence of violent crime. This study concludes with some important implications for urban planners and policymakers with respect to crime control and prevention.

  • The innovation of enterprises allowed firms to promote technological innovation as an important choice to improve sustainable competitiveness. This study aims to investigate the relationship between absorptive capacity and innovation performance of Chinese high-tech enterprises and focuses on the mediating role of innovation culture in high-tech enterprises. Data came from surveying high-tech enterprises in China, and the reliability analysis, factor analysis, and correlation analysis, path analysis (SEM) were analyzed using SPSS23, AMOS. The results show that intellectual capital composed of human capital, structural capital, and relational has a significant impact on acquisition performance; intellectual capital is composed of human capital; structural capital has a significant influence on innovation performance; and absorptive capital has a significant impact on innovation performance. In addition, innovative culture plays a partial mediating role between absorptive capacity and innovation performance. The findings of this study suggest that, to ensure the better absorption and operation of knowledge, high-tech enterprises can accumulate more knowledge, promote the transformation of knowledge into technology, and strengthen the capability of knowledge absorptive capacity, and at the same time, create an innovation culture atmosphere and encourage employees to develop new products to achieve enterprise goals in order to promote the improvement of innovation performance.

  • This study investigates the core elements of the formation and development of cluster using a multi-disciplinary approach and suggests a promoting strategy by development stage of cluster. As a sub-category of regional innovation system, the cluster has been considered as one of the most noticeable methodological argument to make the regional innovation system come true. In the meantime, this study examines the core elements of cluster shown in the theories and examples through six academic fields such as economics, geography, regional development, business administration, sociology and pedagogy and their educational back-ground. By means of establishing the incubation stage in the development of cluster, core elements are composed in the stages of birth, incubation and evolution in subsequent manner. A promoting strategy will be suggested through the implication of core elements in the reestablished stages.

  • 본 연구는 농업경영체 종사자를 대상으로 재정지원 활용을 조절변수로 하여 디지털농업화 요인이 기업성과에 미치는 영향을 연구하였다. 디지털농업화 요인을 디지털기술혁신지향성, 생태계건강성, 운용혁신지향성 및 기업가정신 지향성으로 구분하고 기업성과를 종속변수로 설정하였다. 전국에 소재한 농업경영체 종사자들을 대상으로 수집한 설문지 212부를 실증분석에 사용하였다. SPSS v22.0과 프로세스매크로 v3.4를 활용한 분석결과는 첫째, 디지털기술혁신지향성, 운용혁신지향성 및 기업가정신지향성은 기업성과에 유의한 영향을 미치고 생태계건강성이 기업성과에 미치는 영향은 유의하지 않는 것으로 나타났다. 둘째, 재정지원 활용은 디지털기술혁신지향성과 기업성과, 기업가정신지향성과 기업성과 간의 관계를 유의하게 조절하는 것으로 나타났다. 반면에 운용혁신지향성과 기업성과, 생태계건강성과 기업성과 간의 관계를 유의하게 조절하지 않는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 후속 연구로는 새로운 매개변수 발굴을 통한 매개모형 연구와 조건부과정 모형을 통한 조절된 매개분석 연구가 필요할 것으로 보인다.

  • Effects of water-misting sprays with forced ventilation after transport during summer on meat quality, stress parameters, glycolytic potential and microstructures of muscle in broilers were investigated. A total of 105 mixed-sex Arbor Acres broilers were divided into three treatment groups: i) 45-min transport without rest (T group), ii) 45-min transport with 1-h rest (TR group), iii) 45-min transport with 15-min water-misting sprays with forced ventilation and 45-min rest (TWFR group). The results showed the TWFR group significantly increased (p<0.05) initial muscle pH ($pH_i$) and ultimate pH ($pH_u$) and significantly reduced $L^*$ (p<0.05), drip loss, cook loss, creatine kinase, lactate dehydrogenase activity, plasma glucose content, lactate and glycolytic potential when compared with other groups. Microstructure of the muscle from TWFR group broilers under light microscopy showed smaller intercellular spaces among muscle fibers and bundles compared with T group. In conclusion this study indicated water-misting sprays with forced ventilation after transport could relieve the stress caused by transport under high temperature, which was favorable for the broilers' welfare. Furthermore, water-misting sprays with forced ventilation after transport slowed down the postmortem glycolysis rate and inhibited the occurrence of PSE-like meat in broilers. Although rest after transport could also improve the meat quality, the effect was not as significant as water-misting sprays with forced ventilation after transport.
