  • Nuclear power has been an attractive energy efficient and to the pressure with the climate change despite of its risks. There are safety, security, and environmental concerns with the nuclear radiation, but the techno-optimism forms the mainstream by experts and the state to be able to control and manage the risks yet occurred. The disastrous Chernobyl and Fukushima nuclear accidents brought about alternative action and thought including renewable energy expansion, efficient energy delivery and use, and enhancing stewardship to environmental carrying capacity. More significant alternative movement is sought by victims of nuclear radiation, technicians, and the general public who realized the pitfalls of expert and state centered policy formation. These laypersons become counter-expertise competent in recognizing local contamination and considering the risks and emotions seriously affecting peoples' everyday lives. They play important roles in the construction and legitimation of alternative knowledge about nuclear power widely realized across regions.

  • Purpose - The purpose of this study is to analyze the effect of investment by the National Pension Service, which has a high share as a single fund, on the dividend payout ratio. Design/methodology/approach - This study secured a share through DART of the Financial Supervisory Service and disclosure of the National Pension Service. We also used a fixed-effects model and 2SLS to analyze the data. Findings - First, it was found that there was a possibility of conflicting interests among shareholders concerning the company's dividend payment policy. Second, in the range of 3% to 4.9% of the National Pension Service shareholding, an additional increase in the holding ratio was found to have a positive (+) effect on the dividend rate. Third, after the introduction of the Stewardship Code, it was found that the increase in ownership of the fund had a positive (+) effect on the company's dividend payout ratio, regardless of the share ratio range. Moreover, the relationship between the fund ownership and the dividend payout ratio showed a clear positive relationship when free cash flow was high along investment opportunities were low. Research implications or Originality - First, This study included less than 5% of the share in the analysis. Second, We used the recent changes in fund shareholder activities. Third, We tested an instrumental variable to confirm the relationship between the National Pension Service share and the dividend ratio.

  • The paper highlights technical advances and introduces recent innovations such as smart curing laminating adhesives for flexible packaging with low migration rates of aromatic isocyanates and amines. Latent reactive one-part systems on the basis of surface deactivated solid isocyanates open up new dimensions for heat setting adhesives and waterborne PU dispersions. The new generation of Purmelt Micro Emission adhesives contains less than 0.1% of MDI monomer, thereby drastically reducing the emission of hazardous isocyanate vapors during processing and setting a significantly improved technical standard in occupational safety. Once again, polyurethane adhesives have demonstrated their unique ability to adapt to new process, product, safety and environmental requirements.

  • 최근 급변하는 한국 보건의료환경 가운데 저출산과 고령화로 인한 생산가능 인구 감소와 보건의료재정의 적자 및 막대한 비용 상승이 전망되면서 보건의료체계에 위기감이 조성되어왔다. 도입 초부터 줄곧 형평성과 접근성을 강조했던 구 건강보험 패러다임에 대해 사회 일각이 지속적으로 수정을 요구해왔으며 보건의료당국은 최근 "선진형 패러다임"으로의 전환을 공식 선언하고 보건의료체계의 개혁을 예고하였다. 이 논문은 한국 보건의료환경을 진단하여 패러다임 전환의 당위성을 제기하며 신 구 패러다임의 비교분석을 통해 신 패러다임의 특징을 도출하고 정책적 시사점을 제시하는데 목표가 있다. 이를 위해 다양한 국내 외 문헌자료와 전문가들의 인터뷰 자료 등 2차 자료를 수집하여 분석을 시도한다. 비교분석결과, 전환된 패러다임 하에서 한국의 향후 보건의료개혁의 방향은 효율성(equity) 강화와 보건의료에 대한 책임주의(stewardship)를 구현할 것임을 도출하였다.

  • Shimizu Corporation Tokyo Headquarters, one of the city's leading office buildings, features many pioneering technologies that contribute to a sustainable society through environmental stewardship and a sophisticated disaster management facility. In terms of structural engineering, a seismic isolation system incorporating reinforced concrete core walls and precast concrete perimeter frames create a robust structure in the event of a large earthquake. In addition to the seismic resistance of the structure, several pioneering construction methods and materials are adopted. This office building can serve as a basis for new design and construction approaches and methodologies to ensure safe and economical structures.

  • Inappropriate antibiotic use is the most important factor causing increased bacterial resistance to antibiotics, thus affecting patient outcomes. Multidrug-resistant bacteria have become a serious public health threat, causing significant morbidity and mortality worldwide. In Korea, the burden of antibiotic-resistant bacteria has become an important public health issue. There is increasing evidence of overuse and misuse of antibiotics in Korea, as observed in cohorts with large sample sizes. Antibiotic use among children should receive particular attention because of the frequency of community-associated infections among this population and the elevated risk of transmission. Recent studies from Korea have demonstrated that the use of broad-spectrum antibiotics, either for inpatient or outpatient treatment, has increased among many age groups, especially children. In this review, we aim to describe the patterns of antibiotic prescription and evaluate recent trends in antibiotic use among children. Coordinated efforts toward communication and education in order to address misunderstandings regarding antibiotic use, involving interprofessional antimicrobial stewardship programs, are required in the near future.

  • With the rapid urbanization and growing energy use intensity in the built environment, the glazed curtainwall has become ever more important in the architectural practice and environmental stewardship. Besides its energy efficiency roles, window has been an important transparent component for daylight penetration and a view-out for occupant satisfaction. In response to the climate crisis caused by the built environment, this research focuses on the study of net-zero energy retrofitting by using a new building integrated photovoltaic (BIPV) curtainwall as a sustainable alternative to conventional window systems. Design variables such as building orientations, climate zones, energy attributes of BIPV curtainwalls, and glazed area were studied, to minimize energy consumption and discomfort hours for three cities representing hot (Miami, FL), mixed (Charlotte, NC), and cold (Minneapolis, MN). Parametric analysis and Pareto solutions are presented to provide a comprehensive explanation of the correlation between design variables and performance objectives for net-zero energy retrofitting applications.

  • In a changing environment of parallel management, members must respond more flexibly to customers and have the maximum service spirit, which makes servant leadership more important than the existing leadership style. This study will examine the impact of servant leadership on trust toward supervisor and the impact of trust toward supervisor on change-oriented behaviors and job exhaustion. Finally, this study will also analyze the moderating effect of organizational support in the relationship between servant leadership and trust toward supervisor. A survey questionnaire was conducted on nurses in university hospitals and general hospitals located in Busan. First, growth support, community building, and stewardship among servant leadership had a positively significant influence on trust toward supervisor but did not significantly influenced vision suggestion. Second, trust toward supervisor had a positively significant influence on change-oriented behaviors. Third, trust toward supervisor had a negatively significant influence on job exhaustion. Fourth, the interaction effect between the independent variable stewardship and moderating variable organizational support was significant on the dependent variable trust toward supervisor, but interaction effect between the independent variables that were vision suggestion, growth building, and community building and moderating variable organizational support was not significant.
