The objective of this study is to analyze the performance of Islamic banks with the Maqashid Shariah approach. The analysis technique used is the Simple Additive Weighting Method (SAW) to solve multi-attribute decision problems. The sampling technique used was purposive sampling while the data came from the annual report of each bank. The results showed that the BTPN Shariah (BTPNS) and Bank Muamalat Indonesia (BMI) are ranked first and second respectively on the Maqashid Shariah Index (MSI) with values of 0.265429 and 0.237110 respectively. Panin Dubai Shariah Bank (PDSB) ranked third with an MSI value of 0.180733, followed by BCA Shariah which ranked fourth with an MSI value of 0.151299. BRI Shariah ranked fifth with an MSI value of 0.128606, followed by BNI Shariah which ranked sixth with an MSI value of 0.124661. Bank Mega Shariah ranked last with an MSI value of 0.087068. Furthermore, there is a relationship (correlation) between ROE, ROA, and OEOI and MSI since each data has a value of 0.000, 0.000, 0.050, and 0.001 respectively, which is smaller than the significance value of 0.05. On the other hand, NPF, TPF, and Asset Growth Rates do not correlate with the MSI since each data has a value of 0.051, 0.252, and 0.215 respectively which is greater than the significance value of 0.05.

Purpose: The main theme of this study is to derive a profit curve by a cubic cost function for nonlinear CVP analysis. According to the analytical approach to derive a nonlinear profit function in this study, it is possible with only the existing cost structure to calculate the profit maximization and downtime point sales unlike the classical CVP analysis. Furthermore, the profit curve by the mathematical model of this study could serve as a tool to quantify the qualitative evaluation of each stage of the industry life cycle. Methods: This study followed the mathematical approach from the cubic cost function model of microeconomics, and using real data of the Bank of Korea Results: The nonlinear profit function suggested by this study is as follows; ${\pi}(x)=-a\left(x-\frac{f}{1-v}\right)^3+(1-v)x-k$ where $a=\frac{1}{3}v\left(\frac{(1-v)}{f}\right)^2,k=f-a\left(1-\frac{f}{1-v \right)^3$ Conclusion: The process and results of this study would be able to contribute not only in practice of nonlinear CVP analysis required in the management accounting or financial management, but also in cost theory of microeconomics. Also, since the life cycle of all industries in Korea was verified to the growth or mature stage, decision makers should pay careful attention to determining life cycle stages and consider the profit curve by the average variable cost ratio over multi periods.

Latin America is a culturally, geographically, politically, and economically diverse region. Agriculture in Latin America is marked by a remarkable diversity of production systems, reflecting various agroecological zones, farm sizes, and technological levels. In the last decade, the swine industry increased by 30.6%, emerging as a great contributor to food security and economic development in Latin America. Brazil and Mexico dominate the pig production landscape, together accounting for 70% of sow inventory in the region. The swine industry in Latin America is predominantly comprised of small and medium-sized farms, however, in the past 30 years, the number of pig producers in Brazil dropped by 78%, whereas pork production increased by 326%. Similar to the global pork industry, the growing demand for pork, driven by population growth and changing dietary habits, presents an opportunity for the industry with an expected growth of 16% over the next decade. The export prospects are promising, however subject to potential disruptions from global market conditions and shifts in trade policies. Among the challenges faced by the swine industry, disease outbreaks, particularly African Swine Fever (ASF), present significant threats, necessitating enhanced biosecurity and surveillance systems. In 2023, ASF was reported to the Dominican Republic and Haiti, Porcine Reproductive and Respiratory Syndrome (PRRS) in Mexico, Costa Rica, the Dominican Republic, Colombia, and Venezuela, and Porcine Epidemic Diarrhea (PED) in Mexico, Peru, the Dominican Republic, Colombia, and Ecuador. Additionally, feed costs, supply chain disruptions, and energy expenses have affected mainly the smaller and less efficient producers. The swine industry is also transitioning towards more sustainable and environmentally friendly practices, including efficient feed usage, and precision farming. Ensuring long-term success in the swine industry in Latin America requires a holistic approach that prioritizes sustainability, animal welfare, and consumer preferences, ultimately positioning the industry to thrive in the evolving global market.

Despite recent studies, relatively few are known about the diversity of fungal communities in the deep Atlantic Ocean. In this study, we investigated the diversity of fungal communities in 15 different deep-sea sediments from the South Atlantic Ocean with a culture-dependent approach followed by phylogenetic analysis of ITS sequences. A total of 29 fungal strains were isolated from the 15 deep-sea sediments. These strains belong to four fungal genera, including Aspergillus, Cladosporium, Penicillium, and Alternaria. Penicillium, accounting for 44.8% of the total fungal isolates, was a dominant genus. The antiaflatoxigenic activity of these deep-sea fungal isolates was studied. Surprisingly, most of the strains showed moderate to strong antiaflatoxigenic activity. Four isolates, belonging to species of Penicillium polonicum, Penicillium chrysogenum, Aspergillus versicolor, and Cladosporium cladosporioides, could completely inhibit not only the mycelial growth of Aspergillus parasiticus mutant strain NFRI-95, but also the aflatoxin production. To our knowledge, this is the first report to investigate the antiaflatoxigenic activity of culturable deep-sea fungi. Our results provide new insights into the community composition of fungi in the deep South Atlantic Ocean. The high proportion of strains that displayed antiaflatoxigenic activity demonstrates that deep-sea fungi from the Atlantic Ocean are valuable resources for mining bioactive compounds.

Purpose - This study aims to verify whether the effect of tax avoidance on corporate value is non-linear in the Korean financial markets. Design/methodology/approach - This study believes that the cause of the inconsistent empirical analysis results of previous studies that verified the relationship between tax avoidance and firm value may be an error in assuming linearity, and verifies whether a nonlinear relationship exists. The sample company in this study is a December settlement corporation listed on the Korean stock market, and the analysis period is from 2000 to 2021. In the empirical analysis model, Tobin's Q is used as a proxy for corporate value, tax avoidance is used as the main independent variable, and a regression model is designed with corporate size, growth rate, and debt ratio set as control variables. Findings - As a result of the empirical analysis, it can be confirmed that there is an inverted U-shaped nonlinear relationship between tax avoidance and corporate value. In the additional analysis using Ohlson (1995) firm valuation model for the robustness of the results of the empirical analysis, the same nonlinear value relationship between tax avoidance can be confirmed. Research implications or Originality - This study is considered to be meaningful in that it verifies the non-linear relationship of tax avoidance, which has not been attempted in previous studies. The meaning of the inverted U-shaped nonlinear relationship presented in this study is that corporate tax avoidance acts as a factor that increases corporate value up to a certain level, but rather becomes a factor that decreases corporate value when it exceeds a critical point. These results are expected to provide new perspectives and perspectives on tax avoidance to companies belonging to the Korean capital market.

Thailand had issued a national strategic development master plan with issues related to water resources and water security in the entire water management. Water resources are an important factor of living and development of the country's socio-economy to be stable, prosperous and sustainable. Therefore, water management in both multidimensional and multi-sectoral systems is important and will supports socio-economic and environmental development. The direction of national development in accordance with the national strategic framework for 20 years that requires the country to level up security level in terms of water, energy and food. To response to the proposed goals, there is a subplan to increase water productivity of the entire water system for economical development use by evaluating use value and to create more value added from water use to meet international standard level. This study aims to evaluate the water productivity of Thailand in each basin and all sectors such as agricultural sector, service and industrial sectors by using the water use data from water account analysis and GDP data from NESDB during the past 10 years (1996-2015). The comparison of water productivity with other countries will also be conducted and in addition, the measures to improve water productivity in next 20 years will be explored to response to the National Strategic Master Plan goals. Water productivity is defined as output per unit of water depleted. The simplest way to compare water productivity across different enterprises is in monetary terms. World Bank presents water productivity as an indication of the efficiency by which each country uses its water resources. There are two data sets used for water productivity analyses, i.e., the first is water use data at end users and the second is Gross Domestic Product. The water use at end users are estimated by water account method based on the System of Environmental-Economic Accounting for Water (SEEA-Water) concept of United Nations. The water account shows the analyses of the water balance between the use and supply of each water resource in physical terms. The water supply and use linkage in the water account analyses separated into each phases, i.e., water sources, water managers, water service providers, water user at end user under water regulators of all kinds of water use activities such as household, industrial, agricultural, tourism, hydropower, and ecological conservation uses. The Gross Domestic Product (GDP), a well- known measuring method of the national economic growth is not actually a comprehensive approach to describe all aspects of national economic status, since GDP does not take into account the costs of the negative impacts to natural resources that result from the overexploitation of development projects, however, at present, integrating the environment with the economy of a country to measure its economic growth with GDP is acceptable worldwide. The study results will show the water use at each basin, use types at end users, water productivity in each sector from 1996-2015 compared with other countries, Besides the productivity improvement measures will be explored and proposed for the National Strategic Master Plan.

유엔기후변화협약회의(UNFCCC)에서는 이산화탄소 포집 및 저장(Carbon dioxide capture and storage, CCS)의 부족한 경제성 확보 및 개발도상국으로의 확대의 하나의 방편으로 CCS를 청정개발체제(Clean Development Mechanism, CDM)로 수용하는 것에 대한 논의가 2005년부터 진행되었다. CCS의 CDM 수용과 관련하여 CCS 기술보유국 및 산유국과 개발도상국간의 의견차이로 인하여 합의를 이루지 못하고 논의가 거듭되다, '10.12월 칸쿤 회의결과, CCS의 CDM 수용 가능성에 대해 합의가 이루어졌다(CMP[2010], Decision7/CMP.6). 당시 당사국들은 CCS의 CDM 수용을 위해 방식 및 절차에 관련한 주요 이슈, 즉, 1) 저장지 선정, 2) 모니터링, 3) 모델링, 4) 경계, 5) 누수 측정 및 계산, 6) 월경 효과, 7) 연계프로젝트 배출 계산, 8) 위해성 및 안전성 평가, 9) CDM 체제하의 책임 등에 대한 합의를 우선 요구하였으며, 동기간 동안 과학 기술자문부속기구(SBSTA)에서는 의견 교환 및 워크숍 개최 등을 통해 방식 및 절차에 대한 초안을 마련하였다. 이 초안을 바탕으로 '11년 12월 남아공 더반 회의에서 마침내 CCS기술을 CDM으로 수용키로 최종 합의하였다(CMP[2011], Decision-/CMP.7). CCS의 CDM 수용은 단순히 경제적 인센티브의 제공이라는 의미를 넘어 CCS 기술이 국제사회에서 이산화탄소 저감기술로 공식적으로 인정받았다는 것을 의미하기에 국내의 관련 기술 및 산업뿐만 아니라 법 정책적 측면에서도 큰 영향을 미칠 것으로 보인다. 이에 본 논문에서는 각 이슈들에 대한 국제적 논의 동향을 분석하고, 이를 통해 현재 우리나라가 계획하고 있는 CCS 실용화를 위해 선행되어야 할 정책적 고려 사항을 도출하였다. 금번에 채택된 CCS기술의 CDM 체제 방식 및 절차에 따르면, 우리나라와 같은 비부속서 I 당사국도 방식 및 절차에서 제시한 법 제도를 수립할 경우 CCS CDM 사업 활동 수행이 가능하다. 현재 우리나라는 상위법인 '저탄소 녹색성장 기본법'이 제정되어 있으나 CCS CDM 방식과 절차에서 요구하고 있는 세부 법 제도 프레임웍은 미비한 상황이다. 따라서 단기적으로 포집, 수송, 저장 분야 별로 관련법 개정을 통해 CCS CDM 기반 조기 마련과 함께 장기적으로는 단일법 제정을 포함한 CDM 체제 하의 CCS 사업관련 종합적 법제도 기반을 준비할 것을 제언하고자 한다.

이 논문에서는 대규모 작물 재배 지역의 작물 분류도의 조기 제작을 목적으로 분광학적 혼재를 줄이고, 과거 토지피복도의 작물 재배 패턴을 반영할 수 있는 계층적 분류 방법론을 제안하였다. 특히 작물 생육 주기로부터 다른 분광 특성을 고려한 계층적 분류 접근을 적용하고, 과거 작물 재배 패턴으로부터 추출된 시간적 문맥 정보를 함께 고려함으로써 분광 혼재가 두드러진 화소의 영향을 줄일 수 있다. 제안 분류 기법의 적용성을 평가하기 위해 미국 아이오와 주 전체를 대상으로 시계열 MODIS 250 m 정규식생지수 자료와 과거 crop data layer를 사용하는 사례 연구를 수행하였다. 사례 연구를 통해 다른 분류 단계와 과거 작물 재배 패턴을 고려함으로써 대상 지역의 주요 재배 작물이면서 분광학적 유사도가 두드러진 콩과 옥수수를 효과적으로 구분할 수 있었다. 그리고 분광 정보만을 이용한 분류 결과에 비해 제안 기법이 최소 7.68%p에서 최대 20.96%p의 향상된 분류 정확도를 보였다. 또한 분류 단계에서 시간적 문맥 정보를 결합함으로써 사용 NDVI 자료의 수에 영향을 덜 받는 가장 높은 분류 정확도(최대 전체 정확도: 86.63%)를 얻을 수 있었다. 따라서 제안 분류 기법은 주요 곡물 수입국의 대규모 작물 구분도의 조기 제작에 유용하게 사용될 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.
