The unabated influx of micro businesses has turned the Korean retailing market to a rat race, which causes severe financial distress for micro business owners due to heavy competition. The woes of these micro business owner's are exacerbated by the presence of large scale distributors such as Super Supermarket(SSM) and large discount stores. In summary, the Korean retail market is overburdened an uneconomically viable. Retailing has low barriers to entry which attracts unskilled labor or those with little capital. These start-ups have low opportunity costs since they would make low wages elsewhere in the economy. Thus, these owners are content with relatively low returns on their investment. These 'subsistence ventures' are maintained for economical viability rather than economic growth. These 'subsistence ventures' intensifies competition among small-scale businesses. The presence of large retail corporations also aggravates the situation. The recent stagnation of the economy has worsened the retail market in Korea. The overwhelming competition solidifies the coarse structural system and the prolonged economic sluggishness has increased the risk of insolvency for micro business owners. As the economy continues to stagnate, the imminent risk in retailing market will rise up to surface threatening economic stability. More systematic inflows and outflows of retailers are required in order to redress this structural problem. It has been empirically shown that the self-employment rate is high in Korea compared to other OECD countries. To draw the comparison of self-employment rate by industry, Korea shows high rates among transportation, whole sale, retail, education, lodging, and restaurants. In the case of the transportation and education service sectors, this high rate can be explained by the idiosyncratic nature of Korean culture. In the transportation sector, political policies favor private cap service and private freight carriers. In the education service sector, Koreans put particular emphasis on education that leads to many private institutions that outnumber other OECD countries. For these singular reasons, Korea maintains high micro business, self-employed rates particularly in retailing. A comparable nation is Japan, with its similar social, economic, cultural environment among OECD countries. Unlike Korea, Japan has much lower rates of micro business which continues to decrease. Also Korean retailers are much more destitute than Japanese. The fundamental problem of Korean retailing is the involuntary exit of these 'subsistence ventures,' micro businesses with low margins, in which a small drop in demand can lead to financial difficulties for the owner. This problem will be exacerbated when Korean babyboomers retire and join the micro business ventures. The first priority in order to cope with the severity of oversupply in retailing is to provide better opportunities for the potential self-employers. There should be viable alternatives to subsistent ventures. Strengthening the retirement program, scrutiny of exit process, reconfiguration of policy funds are the recommendations.

As the status of public certificates expired due to the recent revision of the Electronic Signature Act, electronic signature-based public certificates were also lost in the means of replacing resident registration numbers(RRN). As a result, public certification institutions have recently been designated by the Korea Communications Commission as identity verification service providers through a review of the designation of personal identity proofing agency based on alternative means of RRN. However, unlike existing RRN replacements such as i-PIN, mobile phones, and credit cards, the personal identity proofing process for applicants for certificates is different from existing alternatives. The proposed method shows that it is possible to protect users' personal information and provide universal, reasonable, and safe identification services by applying improvements to electronic signature-based personal identity proofing services.

마사지 치료는 한국에서 가장 일반적인 치료 도구의 하나로써 물리치료에서 적용되고 있으며 방법도 빠르게 변하고 있다. 지금까지 여러 형태의 마사지 방법들이 국내 물리치료사에게 소개 되어왔지만 림프흡수 마사지는 임상결과가 이전의 연구에서 제시되어 왔음에도 제대로 소개되지 않아서 일반적인 치료적 마사지 방법의 하나로 사용되고 있지는 않았다. 이에 본 연구자들은 현재 국제 림프학회에서 공인된 보더 스쿨의 엠엘디 코스를 임상 물리치료사들에게 소개함으로 해서, 국내에서의 치료의 질을 한 층 더 높이는 기회가 되고자 한다. 공식적으로 공인된 보더 방법의 엠엘디 치료사가 되기 위해서는 보더 스쿨에서 교육하고 있는 모든 교육과정들(기초, 치료 I, 치료 II+III) 치료를 이수해야만 한다. 이수 후 지속적으로 자격을 인정받기 위해서는 2년에 한 번씩 재이수 과정을 마쳐야 하며 이런 과정을 통해 만성 부비동염, 부종, 화상, 관절염, 림프부종 등의 다양한 종류의 질환을 엠엘디를 이용하여 치료할 수 있게 된다. 결과적으로, 이 연구를 통해 보더의 엠엘디 과정을 소개함으로 해서 앞으로 국내 물리치료 분야에서 더 많은 림프와 암에 관련된 전문 엠엘디 치료사가 배출되기를 바라며 그러므로 한 층 국내 물리치료 분야의 질을 올릴 수 있는 기회가 되었으면 한다.

전자상거래는 비대면(非對面) 거래로 모든 제반과정이 진행되기 때문에 상대에 대한 신뢰성의 문제가 크며, 거래 당사자와 거래 내역에 대한 입증을 해줄 인증기관이 필요하게 된다. 현재 미국의 베리사인 등 사설인증업체가 국내전자상거래 업체의 인증업무를 담당하고 있는 실정이다. 또한, 인증은 필연적으로 관련 기술의 표준화가 수반되는데 이에 대한 국내기술이 미흡하므로 국제동향을 고려한 국내인증기술의 개발이 시급하다. 특히, 글로벌 전자상거래에서는 인증기관에 대한 문제가 더욱 절실한데 문제는 어떠한 형태로 어떤 기관이 주축이 되어 인증체계를 구축하는가 하는 것이다. 현재, 인증체계는 네트워크 방식, 계층구조, 혼합형의 세가지가 논의되고 있으며, 각각의 장단점이 존재하므로 이에 대한 심도있는 논의가 필요하다. 하지만, 이들 가운데 대부분의 국가에서는 계층구조를 바탕으로 한 네트워크 방식이 주류를 이루고 있음에 주목할 필요가 있다. 이러한 체계는 국가별로 상이할 수 있지만, 문제는 글로벌 전자상거래를 활성화하기 위해서는 보다 일관된 형태의 인증체계 구축이 필요하다는 점이다. 현재까지 이와 관련한 논의는 초보적인 단계를 벗어난 실정이며, 미국 EU 등 일부국가와 UNCITRAL, OECD, ICC, WTO 등 관련 기구에서 다양한 의견을 제시하고 있는 상태이다. 이러한 문제는 단시일 내에 해결되기는 어려울 것으로 보인다. 다만, 단기적으로는 관련국가들간의 상호인증을 통한 해결이 선행될 것이며, 이를 바탕으로 글로벌 인증체계가 실현될 것으로 판단된다. 이와 관련하여 인증과 관련한 국내 시장은 출범 초기 단계로서 글로벌 인증 관련 국 내관련 법적 제도적 보완이 필요하며, 이와 아울러 인증서비스를 이용할 사이버무역업계 및 정부 관련 기관 등의 관심이 촉구된다 하겠다.
