This study examined the mechanical engineering research output from India, Japan, and South Korea on different parameters including growth, collaboration indices, and activity index. The purpose of the study is to understand the overall development of mechanical engineering through analytical approaches applied on the scholarly outcome of the countries considered for the study. The study focuses on analysing the articles published by India, Japan, and South Korea, and is restricted to articles indexed in the Science Citation Index - Web of Science for the period 2000 to 2014. The ratios of number of paper to citations for India, Japan, and Korea are 20,836: 1,97,679; 24,494: 2,04,393; and 30,578: 2,66,902 respectively for the period 2000-2014. The findings show that there is a decline in Japanese publications in mechanical engineering, whereas other two countries have recorded an increasing trend. While India has tripled its publications in a span of 15 years, South Korea, on the other hand, has doubled its publications in the same span of time. There has been an increasing trend towards collaboration in almost all fields of science and technology. However, the extent of collaboration and their rate of growth varied for one subject to another, one branch to another branch of the same subject, and from one country to another country. The present study analyses the growth of research publications of the mechanical engineering domain including authorship distribution, collaboration indices, prominent journals, and activity index.

이 연구는 지역별 환경변수 및 도로포장재료의 물리적 특성을 토대로 하여 국내에서 최근에 개발된 동결해석모델인 FrostAM을 사용하여 최근에 사업시행중인 전국 9개 사업지구에 대해 동결깊이 분석을 실시하였다. 동결깊이 분석에 필요한 자료중 환경변수는 기상청 사이트의 측정자료를 사용하였으며, 물리적 특성중 수리특성 분석을 위해 전국 각 지역으로부터 시료를 채취하여 불포화토 물성측정 장치를 사용하여 실내실험 및 분석을 실시하였다. FrostAM을 사용하여 분석된 동결깊이는 동결지수를 사용하여 결정된 각 사업지구의 동결깊이와 비교한 결과 14cm~44cm 작게 나타났다. 이러한 결과로 볼 때 동결지수에 의한 동결깊이는 전반적으로 크게 계상되었으며, 사업지구별로 설계자가 다르다는 점을 고려할 때 동결깊이 산정이 설계자에 따라 상당한 편차가 있는 것으로 보인다.

국가의 정보화 수준은 해당 국가의 경쟁력에 중요한 영향을 미치는 기본 인프라로써 경제성과에 영향을 미친다. 세계화의 확산과 함께 전자 무역 등 정보화 관련 경제활동이 점차 활발해 지며 국가 ICT의 중요성은 더욱 커지고 있는 실정이다. 본 연구는 정보화 수준을 접근, 이용 그리고 활용 능력 세 가지 차원으로 세분화하여 국가의 경제적인 성과에 미치는 영향을 분석하고자 하였다. 특히, 국가의 경제발전 단계에 따라 정보화 수준의 경제적 영향력의 차이를 분석하여 선진국과 개발도상국의 국제 정보격차(digital divide)를 효과적으로 해소할 수 있는 방안을 도출하고자 하였다. 나아가 정부의 규제와 각국의 기업이 갖는 국제시장에서 경쟁 우위의 원천이 국가의 ICT가 가져오는 경제적 영향력에 대하여 조절적 역할을 수행하는지 검증하고자 하였다. International Telecommunication Union(ITU)의 ICT development Index(IDI)와 World Economic Forum(WEF), World bank에서 데이터를 수집하여 패널분석을 실시한 결과, 국가의 정보화 수준은 접근과 활용 측면에서 경제성장에 일관되게 유의미한 정의 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났으며, 특히 개발도상국의 경우 영향력이 큰 것으로 분석되었다. 또한, 정보화 수준과 경제성장의 관계에 대하여 선진국의 경우 기업의 경쟁우위가, 개발도상국의 경우 정부의 규제가 유의하게 조절효과를 갖는 것을 확인하였다. 본 연구 결과에 따른 시사점에 대하여 논의하였다.

본 연구는 가정폭력의 사회적 중요성이 부각되는 가운데 가정폭력 정당화에 영향을 미치는 개인수준과 국가수준의 요인을 진단하였다. 개인수준의 변수로는 경제적 역할에서의 여성에 대한 편견과 사회적 역할에서의 여성에 대한 편견을 사용하였으며, 국가수준의 변수로는 성불평등에 영향을 주는 여성취업율과 민주주의지수를 고려하였다. 분석에 포함된 국가는 총 36개 국으로 개인수준에서는 세계가치관조사 자료를 사용하였으며 국가수준에서는 국제부흥개발은행의 여성취업률 자료와 경제정보연구소에서 발행한 민주주의지수 등을 활용하였다. 분석결과 개인수준의 변수인 경제적 역할에서의 여성에 대한 편견과 사회적 역할에서의 여성에 대한 편견 모두 가정폭력 정당화에 유의미한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났으며, 국가수준의 변수인 여성취업률과 민주주의지수 또한 가정폭력 정당화에 유의미한 효과를 보이는 것을 알 수 있었다. 개인수준의 왜곡된 성역할 인식과 국가수준의 성불평등이 가정폭력 정당화를 초래할 수 있다는 이러한 결과는 성역할에 대한 긍정적인 사회문화 조성과 국가수준에서의 성 평등에 대한 노력의 중요성을 보여주며 정책적인 시사점을 제시하였다.

The purpose of this paper is to review the quality of corporate governance from the prior empirical literature. This study finds that most of the researchers developed the self structured corporate governance index and few researchers used the corporate governance index provided by rating agencies. This study also finds that there is no uniform basis to measure the corporate governance quality and observed the variation in terms of overall and individual attributes of corporate governance; sub-indices of corporate governance; scoring system; weighted and un-weighted method; statistical method; time period; financial and non financial companies; code of corporate governance; listing requirement; disclosure practices; legal environment; firms characteristics; and country perspective. This study also observed that overall corporate governance quality is very low in most of the studies and even quality of corporate governance varies in the firms within the same country. This study recommends that the boundary of corporate governance quality should be defined based on the agreed set of rules and regulation, code of governance and practices. This study also suggests that the regulator and policy makers should more emphasize on code of corporate governance and regulatory framework and monitoring to improve the quality of corporate governance.

This study aims to analyze the digital performance of Kazakhstan through dynamic analysis of national statistics and international indices as Global Innovation Index and ICT Development Index. The research combines three stages: analysis of digital transformation policies performance, review of ICT industry development, and comparative analysis of the positions of Kazakhstan, Turkey and South Korea as a benchmark in the international indices. This research findings show that despite great efforts of Kazakhstan in digitalization, the ICT industry contribution does not increase, it even falls. The international indices demonstrate that the reason is the weakness of the country in skills, venture capital, and innovation linkages. This leads to low knowledge, technology outputs, and creative outputs. The enablers of digital and overall innovation advancement of economy are identified. According to the international rankings the country has been doing its best in Access and Use areas. Another enablers are good business environment, ease of starting a business, protecting minority investors, and FDI inflows. The findings help to draw recommendations for strategic directions in order to improve the digital performance in Kazakhstan. The main limitation of this study is a lack of dynamic information on positions of Kazakhstan in other international indices related to digitalization.

A country's participation in international technical standards development directly relates to its trade competitiveness. Many countries adopt international standards or influence their development process through the ISO/IEC. This study applies the ABCD Model to assess such activities through a constructed ITS index, not only in terms of 'level' of contribution but also in terms of 'process' participation that can give important implications related to the future potential influence of countries in standards development. Having examined seven countries, Korea showed the lowest score implying the need to enhance its performance in both 'international standards adoption' and 'internationalization of domestic standards'. Korea needs to more actively participate in currently on-going standards development processes, establish more offices that improve accuracy in the development, and consider participating in additional committees where domestic interests may potentially be at stake. Although KATS has improved greatly in regards to its relevant activities and database construction, a more active and specific plan must be made to allow its efforts to successfully influence Korea in international standards development. Confronted with strong challenges from directly competing countries in trade like China and Japan that showed better ITS scores, there is a need for Korea to step up its research and participation in this field.

The purpose of this study is to examine the Kuwaiti Stock Exchange's (KDE) response to the COVID-19 pandemic and the precautions taken by Kuwaiti authorities to protect their citizens and other residents. To achieve this objective, daily data from four different indexes published by the Kuwait Stock Exchange (KSE) for the period between 24 February and 30 June 2020, as well as daily data on the number of people infected with COVID-19, the daily number of recovered people, the daily number of deaths, lockdown days, and days the country was under curfew. The findings show a significant positive association between the daily recovery of persons infected by COVID-19 and all indexes published by the KSE except for the Boursa Kuwait Main Market 50, where the association was positive but insignificant. A negative and significant association was also found between the closure of the country and each of the four indexes. Although the curfew imposed by the Kuwaiti authorities at an early stage of the pandemic appeared to have a negative effect on the four indexes, the level of association was statistically significant only in the cases of the Main Market index and Boursa Kuwait Main Market 50 index.

Purpose - This study proposes the impact of the US and Korean economic policy uncertainty on macroeconomy, and its effect on Korea. The economic policy uncertainty index of the US and Korea is used to represent the economic policy uncertainty on Korean economy. Research design, data, and methodology - In this paper, we collect the eight variables to find out the interrelationship among the US and Korean economic policy uncertainty index of the US and macroeconomic indicators during 1990 to 2016, and use Vector Error Correction Model. Result - The distribution industry stock index in Korea is influenced by the economic policy uncertainty index of the US rather than of Korea. All variables are related negatively to the economic policy uncertainty index of the US and Korea from Vector Error Correction Model. This study shows that the economic policy uncertainty index of the US and Korea has the dynamic relationships on the Korean economy. Conclusions - A higher economic policy uncertainty shows a greater economy recession of a country. Finally, the economic policy uncertainty of the Korea has an intensive impact on Korea economy. Particularly, the economic policy uncertainty of the US has a strong impact on distribution industry stock market in Korea.
