  • 프로파일링 기반 추천 서비스는 이용자 측면에서는 개인에게 특화된 콘텐츠를 쉽게 접근하는 편의를 제공하고, 기업 측면에서는 중요한 수익모델을 제공하고 있다. 이러한 추천 서비스의 효용에도 불구하고, 개인정보 침해 문제, 소비자 선택권 제한 등의 이슈가 대두되고 있어, 프로파일링 추천 서비스에 대한 일정한 규제 움직임이 활발하게 진행되고 있다. 하지만 규제 실효성 및 부작용에 대한 면밀한 검토 없이 규제를 도입할 경우, 글로벌 시장에서 국내 기업의 경쟁력 약화라는 우려가 확산되고 있다. 본 연구는 프로파일링 기반 추천 서비스를 제공하는 기업들이 규제 움직임을 어떻게 인식하고 있는지를 조사하여 체계적으로 분석하였다.

  • 이 연구는 1963년부터 실시된 한국의 스크린쿼터제도가 변화과정을 거치면서 행위자들의 인센티브에 어떠한 영향을 미쳤는지를 분석해 본 것이다. 연구결과 스크린쿼터는 문화의 다양성과 영화산업의 보호를 명분으로 도입되었으나 본래의 의도와는 달리 소비자의 선택권과 극장주의 재산권에 상당한 제약을 가져왔다. 또한 스크린쿼터 제도의 근본적 취지와는 달리 문화의 다양성을 보호하는 데도 실패한 사례였다. 아무리 좋은 의도를 가진 제도라 할지라도 행위자의 인센티브를 고려하지 못한 제도는 의도하지 않았던 결과만을 양산해낼 뿐이었고 무역을 통해 얻을 수 있는 경쟁력과 다른 산업의 발전기회 조차 희생하는 결과를 이끌었던 것으로 나타났다.

  • A number of factors are thought to influence people's food choices, and there has recently been an increasing emphasis on understanding the consumer's motives behind choice of food types. For one thing, an individual's personal food-related tastes are thought to certainly influence personal food choice. This study aimed to discover the new motives for food, and what motives determine the food choice of foreigners living in Korea. Subjects (N=210) completed a Food Choice Questionnaire (65 questions) measuring specific motives and sociodemographic conditions (9 questions). Factor analysis and ANOVA were used to ascertain the food choice motives. Fourteen factors emerged, which were labeled health, mood, convenience, sensory appeal, natural content, price, weight control, familarity, political value, ecological protection. and religion. We also found that motives for new food choices include national image and information, ethnic food, and sanitation. Items were analysed to determine differences according to nationality, religion, occupation, and length of residence in Korea. All subjects thought sanitation is the most important motive in choice of food, and health, natural content, and ethnic food were also important.

  • In reality, there are numerous [Note: I advise to change the tone to being more certain, as opposed to offering a possibility. You need to emphasize the seriousness of the conditions that your study wants to talk about] non-tariff trade barriers under free trade agreements, with various stakeholders having different trade-off interests. This study focuses on the rules of origin verification and considers cases in which domestic firms, foreign firms, and domestic consumer groups compete politically for their rent protection in the domestic market. As in Gwande et al. (2006), cross-border lobbies are considered possible wherein foreign firms also lobby the government to influence the decision-making process of how stringently to verify the rules of origin. [Note: Starting here, switch to past tense because a: study intentions above can be in present tense, b: study procedures should be in past tense] In this study, we assumed that all stakeholders form interest groups and present political contributions to the government based on their interests. The stringency of the rules of origin verification was then determined through this political process, and we compared this to a socially optimal one in the analysis. It was found that the verification was less stringent when there was cross-border lobbying than the socially optimal one.

  • This study aims to develop workwear prototypes by applying a systematic approach considering the characteristics of workwear. A case study was conducted before this study to derive workwear's four characteristics: 'Ergonomic Pattern-Making, Certified Fabric, Specialized Color, and Customized Details.' a prior study proposed the integrated framework combining these characteristics with the FEA model. The new framework identified that these characteristics are considered in terms of functionality, expression, and aesthetics; it can increase workers' satisfaction and meet the market demand without concentrating on only particular aspects. Before prototype production, the requirements for each characteristic of workwear were analyzed through theoretical research of previously published related papers. The study primarily gathered workwear requirements data and sources from consumer satisfaction surveys and investigations into the wearing conditions of work clothes. When considering all aspects of pattern-making, fabric, color, and detail in functionality, 'comfort movement, body protection, improved work efficiency' were identified as necessary. Expressive requirements were fundamental, including 'reflecting the wearer's preferences, expressing a sense of belonging and identity. It was clear that incorporating design elements and applying current trends to the aesthetic requirements of work clothes was necessary. Four prototypes comprised two top and bottom sets and two overalls using these requirements. The framework was used throughout the entire process of planning, producing, and evaluating prototypes, and through this, the results fulfilled the requirements. This study is significant because it produced workwear prototypes using an integrated approach that considered functional, expressive, and aesthetic aspects.

  • Flatfish are one of the largest families in the order Pleuronectiformes and are economically important edible marine fish species. However, they have similar morphological characteristics leading to challenges in classifying correctly, which may result in mislabeling and illegal sales, such as fraudulent labeling of processed food. Therefore, accurate identification is important to ensure the quality and safety of domestic markets in Korea. Species-specific primers were prepared from the mainly consumed eleven species of the order Pleuronectiformes. To rapidly identify the 11 flatfish species, a highly efficient, rapid, multiplex polymerase chain reaction (PCR) with species-specific primers was developed. Species-specific primer sets were designed for the mitochondrial DNA cytochrome c oxidase subunit I gene. Species-specific multiplex PCR (MSS-PCR) either specifically amplified a PCR product of a unique size or failed. This MSS-PCR analysis is easy to perform and yields reliable results in less time than the previous Sanger sequencing methods. This technique could be a powerful tool for the identification of the 11 species b the family Pleuronectidae and can contribute to the prevention of falsified labeling and protection of consumer rights.

  • The Korean government embarked upon ambitious economic development plans in the 1960's the goals of development policy at that time were the elimination of absolute poverty and the alleviation of unemployment. With scant natural resources, the government had to push for industrialization based upon borrowed foreign raw materials with surplus local labor. Preoccupation with the economic goals of industrialization and export expansion left little room for considering environmental protection. It is evident that Korea's exported industrialization strategy of the past three decades has been a success in terms of income, production, and other macroeconomic indicators, but it cannot be denied that a host of undesirable side-effects have been created. These include environmental problems. congestion in several large cities, poor wealth distribution, and regional disparities. The environmental problems were recognized even in the early stage of development, but preoccupation with the pending economic goals of industrialization and export expansion left little room for considering environment protection. The perceived and actual seriousness of the problems, however, has reached such a level that further negligence may imperil political stability and developmental problems facing the world arise from a world economic order characterized by ever expanding consumption and production, which exhausts and contaminates natural resources and creates and perpetuates gross inequalities between and within nations. It will be necessary to develop new culture and ethical values, transform economic structures, and reorient, our lifestyles. Changing lifestyles can not be promoted by government policy initiative alone but through self=generated educational efforts and mutual training by people themselves. The citizens group for environment (NGOs) should assume these educational and training responsibilities starting from grass-root level of people. It must be reawakened to the reality that the environmental preservation for better quality of life is based on the development of human relationships, creativity, spirituality, reverance for the natural world and celebration of life, and is not dependent upon increased consumption of non-basic material goods. To carry on such environment education social movements and NGOs should (1) provides educational methodologies, which focus on values clarification and moving beyond clarification and moving beyond blame to constructive action. (2) provide training for leaders of business and industry, government, union and others on consumption and production. (3) initiate and support the training and work of environmental counselor who encourage responsible consumption. (4) cooperative with media to initiate and strengthen educational programs on the social environmental programs on the social environmental impacts of consumption and production and to build awareness of consumer responsibility and potential. Economic and social development can be compatible with environment protection : both can be achieved simultaneously. Effective environmental management depends on the various factors : political will, institutional arrangements, appropriate legislation, and availability of the requistite financial and technological resources, which is possible with a strong public awareness of the importance of environmental preservation.

  • Exposure assessment for three major active ingredients used for humidifier disinfectants, polyhexamethylene guanidine (PHMG), oligo(2-(2-ethoxy)ethoxyethyl guanidinium chloride (PGH), and 5-chloro-2-methylisothiazol-3(2H)-one/2-methylisothiazol-3(2H)-one (CMIT/MIT) mixture, was conducted in a bedroom using an air sampler for a refined risk assessment. The experimental site was selected to reflect consumer exposure conditions. Aerosols formed by a humidifier were sampled during 8 hr at 7.5 L/min. Absorbed PHMG and PGH by the sampler were quantified using a spectrophotometric method, and high performance liquid chromatography-ultraviolet detection was used for CMIT/MIT. Three exposure scenarios were assumed for adding humidifier disinfectants to the humidifier water at 1, 2, and 10 times the volume recommended by the product suppliers, and the humidifier was on at its maximum rate of producing aerosols in order to consider reasonable worst-cases. The sampled mass of PHMG and PGH ranged 200 to $2,800{\mu}g$ and 140 to $1,900{\mu}g$, respectively, under different exposure conditions, whereas the absorbed mass of CMIT/MIT was barely detected at the detection limit of 0.11/0.29 mg/L, only at 10 times the recommended level. The resulting risk quotients for PHMG and PGH ranged 1,400 to 20,000 and 1,000 to 13,000, indicating that health risks could be significant. For CMIT/MIT mixture, risk quotients were much smaller than estimated by assuming that they are conservative in the indoor environment, probably due to oxidative reactions. The refined exposure assessment presented here may provide a useful tool for assessing risks posed by active ingredients in spray-type biocidal products.

  • 제6차 세계항공운송회의가 2013.3월 ICAO 주관으로 개최되었다. 10년마다 한 번씩 개최되는 세계항공운송회의는 국제항공운송에 관련된 거의 모든 문제를 다루고 있는데, 국제민간항공의 장기적인 성장을 보장하기 위하여 ICAO 정책을 갱신하는 목적을 가지고 있다. 2003년에 개최되었던 제5차 세계항공운송회의는 항공운송화의 자유화에 초점을 맞추었는데, 제6차회의는 종전 자유화의 추진 여부에서 자유화의 실행 방법에 역점을 두었다. 제6차 회의의 주요한 의제 항목은 자유화, 안전 장치, 소유권 및 통제, 공정 경쟁, 공항과 항행시설, 조세 및 부과금, 그리고 ICAO 정책이다. 자유화 특히 점진적 자유화는 지난 수 십 년 동안 주된 의제였다. 자유화로 향하는 과정에서 시장접근의 확대, 항공사의 소유 및 통제에 관한 규제의 완화가 필요하다. 더욱이, 공항 및 항행시설과 같은 인프라의 충분한 공급은 자유화의 걸림돌을 제거하는 요소로 작용할 수 있다. 그러나, 자유화가 급속하고 과격하게 진행될 때, 약자와 소비자 이익 보호의 차원에서 개도국에 의한 시장접근과 소비자 보호 및 조세 및 부과금의 투명하고도 경제적인 결정을 확보하기 위한 안전 장치가 확보되어야 한다. 공정 경쟁은 시장에서의 경쟁 촉진과 구별되는 개념인데, 약자와 소비자를 독과점으로부터 보호하기 위한 목적을 가진다. 이번 회의에 한국 대표단은 3개의 WP(작업 문서)와 1개의 IP(정보 문서)를 제출하였는데, 역대 가장 많은 숫자이다. 제6차 회의에서는 자유화를 촉진하기 위하여 패러다임(준거 기준기준) 전환이 강조되었다. 그러나 현실은 자유화의 중요성을 강조하고 회원국에게 태도의 변화를 촉구하기 위하여 이제까지 많은 권고 결의를 하였으나 자유화의 속도는 매우 느리고 부진하다는 것이다. 항공운송의 자유화는 항공운송 및 관련산업의 성장과 고용의 창출, 관광과 지역개발의 진흥 나아가 상호 이해 및 교류를 촉진시켜 장애가 없는 세계를 만드는데 기여할 것이다. 이러한 맥락에서 다음 회의는 자유화의 과정을 평가하게 될 것으로 예상된다.
