This paper reports investigation of informal communication among Korean biological scientists. Scientists at the research front communicate informally each other and social organization based upon this communication relation is identified. Seventy-four percent of the scientists are joined together in a large communication network which includes all of the most productive and communicative scientists. Central scientists are the nodal points for dissemination of information as well as important information sources.

The essence of inclusive innovation is to serve poor, marginalized and underprivileged sections of society to improve their livelihoods and enable them to climb up the socio-economic ladder. In this article, we explore the contemporary Indian landscape. There is a diversity of institutions and institutional approaches, multiple methodologies and goals in promoting inclusive innovations in this landscape. There are grassroots innovation institutions. All these institutions and groups have demonstrated how to improve the living conditions of poor people and enhance their income. They have developed different methodologies of inclusive innovation to intervene, build capacities and capabilities of poor people towards bridging informal and formal sectors of economy. Indian landscape can now boast of some successful models and a "social laboratory" for inclusive innovation. The challenge, however, remains to replicate and multiply these models to impact other sectors of Indian informal economy.

The relationship between geographical proximity and academics' formal and informal knowledge-transfer activities in the network is analyzed with a mixed research method. With social network analysis as a basis, we have explored the networks between academics and firms in the 16 regions of South Korea. The result shows Seoul and Gyunggi are identified as central nodes, meaning that the academics in other regions tend to collaborate with firms in these regions. An econometric analysis is performed to confirm the localization of knowledge-transfer activities. The intensity of formal channels measured by the number of academic papers is negatively, but significantly associated with the geographical proximity. However, we have not found any significant relationship between the formality of the channels and geographical proximity. Possibly, the regional innovation systems in South Korea are neither big enough nor strong enough to show a localization effect.

This study explored and described the life course of poor female household heads. The data was gathered by in-depth interviews with thirteen poor female heads of households. Most of poor female household heads grew up in poor families. nev could not be educated properly due to their families' poverty and boy preference, and they moved to urban areas to become informal sector laborers. After the marriages, their living conditions became worse, because many of them got married to so lazy men who had alcoholic problems that were not willing to provide their families. The poor female heads of households were under difficulties owing to low income and unstable labor Condition. The economic hardship disturbed the interaction with kins and friends. Although they got in touch with these people, they had uncomfortable feelings because they did not have enough resources which made these relationships reciprocal. Therefore, social welfare policy were essential to support the poor female heads of households.

기존의 지역정보, 교통정보 서비스 시스템은 직접 PC 를 통해 인터넷에 접속하여 정보를 사용자에게 제공하고 있다. 그러나 무선 인터넷이 보급됨에 따라 PC 가 아닌 휴대용 단말 장치로 서버에 접속할 수 있게 되었다. 실제로 PC 를 사용할 수 없는 지역에서도 필요한 지역정보나 교통정보를 모바일 단말장치를 통하여 얻을 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 SK 텔레콤이 XCE(eXtended Computing Environment)와 공동 개발한 무선인터넷 서비스 플랫폼인 SK-VM 이 가지는 장점을 최대한 이용하고, 데이터베이스와 모바일간의 데이터 전송방식을 이용하여 아직까지 상용화되고 있지 많은 무선 인터넷 서비스인 모바일 지역정보, 교통정보 서비스 시스템을 구현, 개발하는데 중점을 두었다.

The purpose of this study was to classify the financial strategies in elderly households. The data of 4,577 households with all ages and 1255 elderly households is from the Korean Labor and Income Panel Study(2000, 2003). The data were analyzed by various statistical methods such as frequency, mean-test, Duncan's multiple range test, k-mean cluster analysis and logistic regression. Findings were as follows; First, the classified household financial strategy types were Residual(44.3%), Financial Assets(24.0%), Informal Institutional(19.7%), Diversified Portfolio(7.6%), Real Estate(4.5%). Second, the criteria of classification of the financial strategies were relative, not absolute. Third, households(both elderly households and all households) that employed a diversified portfolio strategy had the greatest net wealth.

The money market has been existing in various forms for a long time. Until 1972, however, the market had supplied mainly short-term loans of commercial banks and loans of informal money lenders to business corporations. There was no market for notes and commercial papers of business corporations. Consequently, business corporations had to rely primarily upon commercial banks for short-term credit loans to supplement their working capital. The interest rate on loans of commercial banks had been set below a free market equilibrium rate and thereby, generated excess demands for the loans. Unsatisfied potential borrowers thus had to turn to informal money lenders for short-term cerdit loans of prohibitively high interest rate. Since 1972 investment and finance companies have been operating in the money market and their role in mobilizing short-term loans is increasing. This paper aims at estimating the equilibrium size of the money market.

The objectives of this study were: a) to determine the motive type of adults' participation in environmental education program, and b) to identify factors related to their motive from the activities, and c) to provide strategies implications to satisfy their motive. For the purpose, literatures related to adults' participation motive type are reviewed. Based on the theoretical finding, the following suggestions could be offered for the environmental education program. 1) Environmental NGOs should offer motive-friendly programs which may help the adults participate in the NGO environmental education and activities. 2) Environmental NGOs should provide diverse education programs to facilitate participation and to formulate eligible management system for the activities. 3) To satisfy the motive of participation, environmental education programs should be organized and conducted through a careful consideration of the motive type of the participation, the characteristics of adults, and so on.

This paper proposes a method that combines diverse evidence relevant to the reliability to evaluate the reliability of complicated systems such as robots. In practice, reliability experts combine diverse evidences relevant to the reliability and infer the answers by using their own way that are mostly informal. The proposed method also combines diverse evidence and performs inferences but informal and quantitative way by using the benefits of Bayesian Belief Nets (BBN). Diverse evidences could be those from dassical analysis techniques, test results, quality assurance about the process of manufacturing, and the quality of the company or development team, etc. Some of these evidences are qualitative and others are quantitative. Both are ...
