The review of known decision-making support systems and technologies regarding the possibility of donation and transplantation showed that currently there are no systems and technologies of decision-making support regarding the possibility of donation and transplantation considering civil law. The paper models the decision-making support process regarding the possibility of donation and transplantation, which is a theoretical basis for the development of rules, methods and technology of decision-making support regarding the possibility of donation and transplantation considering civil law. The paper also developed the technology of decision-making support regarding the possibility of donation and transplantation considering civil law as a component of the Unified State Information System for Organ and Tissue Transplantation, which automatically and free of charge determines the possibility/impossibility of donation and transplantation. In the case of the possibility of donation, the admissible type of donation is also determined - over-life or after-life donation - and data about potential donor is entered in the relevant Donor Register. In the case of the possibility of transplantation, if the recipient needs a transplant of one of the paired organs or a part of the organ/tissue, then data about potential recipient are entered in the Transplantation List from both over-life and after-life donor, otherwise, if the recipient needs a transplant of a non-paired organ or both paired organs, then data about potential recipient are entered only in the Transplantation List from after-life donor.

Purpose: Traditional charity retail needs to change its communication in the online environment. This article examines the effectiveness of communication by online charity organizations in terms of the type of messages being delivered. Research design, data and methodology: Study 1 based on a sample of 120 Korean adults, we investigated whether charity asking messages for domestic people, compared to those for foreign people, prompt more favorable evaluations when framed with low (vs. high) construal levels. In Study 2, with 120 Korean adults sample, we tested whether emotional message appeals prompt a more favorable response than rational messages when framed in a socially close. Results: According to the result of Study 1, for the domestic recipients, donation messages situated in the near, compared to the distant, future induced more favorable reactions from potential donors. Moreover, in Study 2, emotional (vs. rational) message appeals generated more positive donation intentions when they were framed in the socially close situation. Conclusions: This research contributes that differing consumer construal have important implications for how marketing communication might best gain charitable support. This suggests that marketers who design a donation message should consider message's appeal and type to activate the potential donors' willingness to participate in the campaign.

Objectives : Living donor liver transplantation (LDLT) is a life-saving therapy for patients with terminal liver disease. Many studies have focused on recipients rather than donors. The aim of this study was to assess the emotional status and personality characteristics of LDLT donors. Methods : We evaluated 218 subjects (126 male, 92 female) who visited Daegu Catholic University Medical Center from August 2012 to July 2018. A retrospective review of their preoperative psychological evaluation was done. We investigated epidemiological data and the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory-2 questionnaire. Subanalysis was done depending on whether subjects actually underwent surgery, relationship with the recipient, and their gender. Results : Mean age of subjects was $32.19{\pm}10.91years$. 187 subjects received LDLT surgery (actual donors) while 31 subjects didn't (potential donors). Donor-recipient relationship included husband-wife, parent-children, brother-sister etc. Subjects had statistical significance on validity scale L, F, K and all clinical scales compared to the control group. Potential donors had significant difference in F(b), F(p), K, S, Pa, AGGR, PSYC, DISC and NEGE scales compared to actual donors. F, D and NEGE scales were found to be predictive for actual donation. Subanalysis on donor-recipient relationship and gender also showed significant difference in certain scales. Conclusions : Under-reporting of psychological problems should be considered when evaluating living-liver donors. Information about the donor's overall psychosocial background, mental status and donation process should also be acquired.
