골프장에서 제초와 병해충방제를 위해 농약의 사용은 필수적인 요소이다. 농약은 적절하게 관리되지 않을 경우 주변 환경과 생태계에 악영향을 초래할 수 있다. 그러나 우리나라의 경우 골프장의 농약사용에 관한 구체적인 통계나 체계적 관리방안이 없는 실정이었다. 본 논문에서는 골프장에서 사용되는 농약의 실태를 파악하고 이를 국가적 차원에서 체계적으로 관리할 수 있는 방안에 관해 조사하였다. 골프의 대중화로 인해 우리나라의 골프장은 급격히 증가하여 2011년 말 기준으로 421개소가 운영되고 있으며 이는 면적으로 $379.53km^2$이다. 이와 더불어 농약사용량도 매년 증가하고 있으며 2011년에는 216품목의 농약이 성분량 기준으로 총 118,669.4 kg이었고, 살균제(54.9%) > 살충제(24.4%) > 제초제(13.3%) > 생장조정제(0.1%) 순이었다. 2011년 골프장별 평균 농약사용량은 성분량으로 280.9 kg이였으며, 단위면적당 평균 농약사용량은 $5.4kg\;ha^{-1}$이였으나 이는 일반 농경지에서의 사용량의 50%에 해당되는 것이다. 골프장별 사용량은 $0.0-21.9kg\;ha^{-1}$ 범위로 편차가 매우 컸다. 골프장내 잔류농약성분의 검출빈도는 green > fairway, 잔디 > 토양 순이었다. 과거에는 일부 골프장에서 고독성농약을 사용하거나 검출되기도 하였으나 최근에는 사용하지도 않으며 검출되지도 않았다. 골프장의 농약사용의 실태를 파악하고 농약에 따른 환경피해를 예방하기 위해서 환경부에서는 2010년 초에 '골프장 농약 사용실태 관리시스템'(환경부 토양지하수정보시스템)을 개발하였다. 이 시스템을 통해 골프장에서의 농약사용 모니터링과 잔류 농약 검사에 관한 선진화된 관리체계를 구축하였다. 농약 잔류량 검사는 토양, 잔디 및 유출수 시료에 대해 실시하고 있고 검사시료는 골프장의 규모에 따라 결정할 수 있도록 정하였다. 우리나라는 골프장의 농약사용에 관련된 업무를 여러 부처에서 담당하다가 2009년부터 환경부로 일원화하여 추진하고 있으나 아직까지 법령과 행정규칙 등이 체계적으로 정비되지 않은 상태이다. 골프장에서의 농약사용과 관리 및 주변 생태계와 인간에 미치는 영향 등을 파악하기 위해서는 개별 골프장에 적합한 지역특이적 최적 관리방안(site-specific best management practices)이 우선적으로 마련되는 것이 바람직하며, 이는 위해서는 위해성평가의 도입이 우선적으로 이행되어야 할 것이다. 우리나라는 골프장의 농약사용 및 농약잔류량 검사, 환경오염피해에 대한 기초연구, 환경오염 저감기술 등 관련 인프라가 매우 부족한 실정이다. 따라서 향후 정부에서는 관련제도를 정비하고, 개선 발전시켜 골프장에 의한 환경피해를 최소화하여 골프장이 친환경적으로 운영될 수 있도록 지속적인 관심과 지원이 이루어져야 할 것이다.

본 연구는 학교급식 식재료의 위생관리 실태를 파악하기 위하여 식재료 생산 가공업체의 생산직원 221명을 대상으로 위생지식을 조사하고, 위생관리 수행수준, 위생관리 현황을 5점 척도로 평가하였다. 생산직원의 위생관리 수행수준의 평균은 4.63/5.0점으로 높은 편이었으나, 위생 지식수준은 4.63/9.0점으로 낮았다. HACCP 인증업체 직원의 위생교육 횟수, 만족도, 위생관리 태도 등이 비인증업체에 비해 유의하게 높았고(p<0.05), HACCP 비인증업체에서의 시설설비에 대한 관리가 요구되었다. 또한 위생관리 수행영역에서 작업대와 작업장의 매일 청소 및 철저한 소독, 냉장고와 냉동실의 청결유지, 작업장의 온도확인, 작업 중 교차오염 방지, 작업 중 작업도구의 철저한 소독, 작업장 출입 시 신발소독 및 에어샤워, 작업복의 매일 세척의 항목은 HACCP 비인 증업체에서 유의하게 잘 지켜지지 않아 위생교육 및 평상시 작업관리 시 철저한 관리가 요구되는 항목이었다. 생산직원들이 학교급식 식재료를 생산하면서 가장 어려운 점은 위생관리와 납품시간 맞추기였고, 위생교육의 불만족한 이유는 일방적인 강의 때문이 가장 높았다. 따라서 생산 가공업체 에서는 교육대상자의 요구에 맞추어 위생교육 내용을 선정하고, 일방적인 강의형식의 교육보다는 활동자료나 교육매체를 활용한 보다 능동적이고 흥미로운 위생교육을 실시하여 교육효과를 최대한 높일 수 있도록 하여야 할 것이다.

Aiming at reducing deaths and injuries involving construction crane operations, OSHA has recently updated its 40-year-old crane safety standards with new rules addressing the use of cranes and derricks in construction. The goal of this change in rule is to deal with the leading causes of fatalities related to crane and derrick operations. Employers in the construction industry are mandated to ensure that employees in the work zone are trained to recognize hazards associated with the use of the equipment and any related duties that they are assigned to perform. However, those responsible at construction sites for the supervision and management of safe crane operations often lack the integrated knowledge of the standards, regulations and best practices for conducting or supervising daily, monthly, or quarterly inspection of cranes. As such, proper planning, management and implementation of crane operations, including inspections are just as paramount to reducing accidents on the construction site. It is important that engineers responsible for the management and planning of crane operations understand the latest OSHA crane and hoisting standards to ensure a safer work environment is maintained. Many on site engineers overseeing crane operations do not have adequate training, experience, and knowledge of the inspection requirements to assess safe crane operation and too often rely on the crane operator's judgement. This paper highlights recent research effort in defining significant changes in new crane and hoisting standards and provides basis for safety construction operations.

Sustainability index was calculated to determine the best management for rice productivity under long-term inorganic fertilizer management's practices. It is based on nutrient index, microbiological index and crop index related to sustainability as soil function. Indicators for calculating sustainability index were selected by the comparison of soil properties and rice response in paddy soil with fertilization. Total twenty two indicators were determined to assess nutrient index, microbiological index and crop index in order to compare the effect of different fertilization. The indices were applied to assess the sustainability with different inorganic fertilizer treatments such as control, N, NK, NP, NPK, NPK+Si, and NPK+Compost. The long-term application of compost with NPK was the highest sustainability index value because it increased nutrient index, microbial index and crop index. The use of chemical fertilizers resulted in poor soil microbial index and crop index, but the treatments like NP, NPK, and NPK+Si were maintained sustainability in paddy soil. These results indicate that application of organic and chemical fertilizer could be a good management to improve rice sustainability in paddy soil.

In the wake of several high-profile corporate accounting scandals, there has been evidence that companies are more eager to hire Chief Executive Officers (CEOs) with an accounting background. This signals that CEOs with an accounting background are recognized and trusted by the corporate world to boost the quality of financial reporting of a company. If it is so, in the context of combating the earnings management, hiring CEOs with an accounting background (being a conservative accounting practitioner), could become one of the effective internal corporate governance mechanisms (CGM) to bring down the earnings management activities. This study attempts to provide insight into the level of conservatism of the CEO with an accounting background. Following Basu (1997) and Khan and Watt (2009), the firm-year measure of conservatism (C_Score) was obtained, which later was associated with the accounting education of the CEO to determine their relationship. As expected, CEOs with accounting background exhibit a higher level of moral reasoning than their non - accounting educated counterparts. The finding of this study is useful to persuade the policymaker to consider lifting the trend of hiring a CEO with an accounting background as one of the best practices that the companies can work out to lessen earnings management activities.

Recently, the Korean government has been actively promoting the smart city as their strategic agenda. However, to build smart cities that are greener, the authors believe it is essential to rapidly transit conventional energy sources such as fossil fuels to renewable energy. Although there is a big potential for Offshore wind in Korea, there has not been a full-scale commercial offshore wind farm until today. Since Korea is relatively a new market compared to the EU, it can be risky for developers. The authors will introduce risk management best practices in the offshore wind industry applicable to the Korean environment. This paper will mainly introduce an offshore wind project size of 99 MW. The project is expecting a Finance Close (FC) in Q3 2022, so the project team has prepared a risk register with over 150 risks and levers throughout the project lifecycle. Overall risks include risks with Development Expenditure (DEVEX) impact, a Capital Expenditure (CAPEX) impact, and an Operating Expenditure (OPEX) impact. Based on the identified risks, a more qualitative assessment of Cost and Schedule Impact was conducted. In conclusion, a Monte Carlo simulation was performed to propose a quantitative risk assessment to evaluate a benchmark contingency of the project cost.

Banks are the engines that drive the operations in financial sector, money markets and growth of economy. With growing banking industry in India, frauds in Banks are increasing and fraudsters are becoming more sophisticated and ingenious. Shockingly, banking industry in India dubs rising fraud as "an inevitable cost of doing business." As part of study, a questionnaire-based survey was conducted in 2012-13 among 345 Bank employees "to know their perception towards bank frauds and evaluate factors that influence the degree of their compliance level." The study reveals, "there are poor employment practices and lack of effective employee training; usually over-burdened staff, weak internal control systems, and low compliance levels on the part of Bank Managers, Offices and Clerks. Although banks cannot be 100% secure against unknown threats, a certain level of preparedness can go a long way in countering fraud risk. Internal audit professionals should play an integral role in organization's fraud-fighting efforts. Some other promising steps are: educate customers about fraud prevention, make application of laws more stringent, leverage the power of data analysis technologies, follow fraud mitigation best practices, and employ multipoint scrutiny.

Nonpoint sources of pollution (NPS) is defined as diffuse discharges of pollutants (e.g., nutrient, pesticide, sediment, and enteric microorganism) throughout the natural environment and they are associated with a variety of farming practices. Previous studies found that water soluble anionic polyacrylamide (PAM) is one of the highly effective measures for enhancing infiltration, reducing runoff, preventing erosion, controlling nonpoint source of pollutants, and eventually protecting soil and water environment. Potential benefits of PAM treatment in agricultural soil and water environments have been revealed by many research and they include low cost, easy and quick application, and suitability for use with other Best Management Practices (BMPs) for NPS control. This study reviews the various applications of PAM and discusses its further potentials in agricultural environment.

Purpose - Korean agriculture is facing internal and external environmental changes and the need for secure stable outlets. Active participation and mutually beneficial cooperation between enterprises and agricultural is necessary for a win-win situation. This study investigates the case for distribution cooperation and a cooperative system. To respond to the diverse needs of consumers and market reclamation, there is a need to analyze and categorize distribution cooperation. Research design, data, and methodology - A literature study, relevant interviews with enterprises, and meetings with local government practices were conducted. A survey frame was derived through the participation of agricultural enterprises and distribution cooperation models were categorized identifying win-win cooperation and best practices. It was organized on the basis of six best practice examples of distribution cooperation between industry and agricultural sectors, divided into three types: opening distribution channels, exporting cooperation, and developing new products. Results - An innovation management system that can adapt to environmental changes and problems of agriculture is necessary. A company has to supply high-quality agricultural products reliably to meet the preferences of consumers by introducing products that promote domestic market differentiation. In addition, consumers are choosing a variety of products that may include not only high quality products but also local products and safe products. The main areas of cooperation are the direct provision of agrifood raw materials to consumers. Next, would be to help agricultural sectors distribute and pioneer international markets. The ideal step for distribution cooperation is the joint investment in new products by business and agriculture. Conclusions - Agriculture and win-win cooperation with enterprises is in an early stage of social contribution. To implement a distribution cooperation model between business and agricultural sectors, it is crucial to establish a structured support system including joint councils. Additional requirements include strengthening agricultural capacities, creating a legal basis for provision, and producing a win-win cooperation environment. The promotion of win-win cooperation and agricultural enterprises needs to exist in various forms in order to establish a different type of incentive system.

The guideline of selection of Integrated Management Practices (IMPs), such as wood, green roof, lawn, and porous pavement, for Low Impact Development (LID) design was proposed by ranking the reduction rate of surface runoff using LIDMOD1.0. Based on the guideline, LID was designed with several scenarios at two apartment complexes located at Songpa-gu, Seoul, Korea, and the effect of LID on surface runoff was evaluated during last 10 years. The effect of runoff reduction of IMP by land use change was highly dependent on the kind of hydrologic soil group. The wood planting is the best IMPs for reduction of surfac runoff for all hydrologic soil groups. Lawn planting is an excellent IMP for hydrologic soil group A, but reduction rate is low where soil doesn't effectively drains precipitation. The green roof shows constant reduction rate of surface runoff because it is not influenced by hydrologic soil group. Compared to the rate of other IMPs, the green roof is less effect the surface runoff reduction for hydrologic soil group A and is more effect for hydrologic soil group C and D followed to planing wood. The porous pavement for the impervious area is IMPs which is last selected for LID design because of the lowest reduction rate for all hydrologic soil group. As a result of LID application at study areas, we could conclude that the first step of the strategy of LID design at apartment complex is precuring pervious land as many area as possible, second step is selecting the kind of plant as more interception and evapotranspiration as possible, last step is replacing impervious land with porous pavement.
