This study investigates the effect of infrastructure, economic sectors and its status, foreign direct investment and private investment, as well as the role of political stability in enhancing the tourism demand in the ASEAN region. The research collected the secondary data from the World Bank database and the UNWTO website of 10 ASEAN countries over 17 years from 2000 to 2016. Applying the generalized method of moments, this research found that, "private investment", "economic sectors", "exchange rate and infrastructure measured by "using of the internet" can increase the tourism demand of a country in the ASEAN region. This research provided evidence indicating that the "foreign direct investment" and "inflation" are two detrimental factors for tourist attraction. The major finding confirmed the positive role of "political stability" in increasing tourist arrivals. First, attracting tourists to a country always poses many challenges to its government. It has been observed in the past decades that though there were many documents, which confirmed that industry can help in promoting tourism, very few studies investigated the role of both agriculture and manufacturing sectors in tourism promotion. Secondly, there are only a few studies which verifies the stability of the political system to the tourism demand in the ASEAN region and that this variable (political stability) has the strongest impact.

The COVID-19 pandemic has brought about many changes in our daily lives and in industries as a whole. The most notable change was the spread of the untact culture to minimize face-to-face contact. The spread of the untact culture has changed the use of public transportation. Looking at the results of previous SARS and MERS studies, it was found that as the pandemic spreads, the use of public transportation decreased. Recently, the mobility sharing service is attracting attention as a personalized means of transportation instead of public transportation. Therefore, in this study, the factors affecting the intention to use the mobility sharing service were to be identified by the actual users. In this study, economic benefit, convenience, sustainability, and sense of belonging were set as independent variables based on previous studies. In addition, the relationship between the perceived usefulness and perceived pleasure of these factors of use on intention to use was empirically analyzed through PLS-SEM. As a result of the study, it was found that economic benefits, convenience, sustainability, and sense of belongingness had a significant effect on intention to use through perceived usefulness and enjoyment. This study was meaningful in that it was verified through the study that economic benefits, convenience, sustainability, and a sense of belongingness were significant variables affecting the intention to use through usefulness and pleasure.

Increasing life expectancy leads to a rise in the prevalence of aging-related mental diseases and a concomitant increase in the financial and societal pressures related to their prevention and management. This issue is attracting increasing attention from researchers. Therefore, this study aimed to determine whether a healing program in a forest environment is effective for improving cognitive function, depression, anxiety, and stress in elderly people. A nonequivalent control group pretest-posttest design was used. The experimental group consisted of 18 males and females aged 60 to 80 years who participated in a forest healing program for seven days, while the comparison group comprised 10 people with similar demographics. For the process of data analysis, this study performed a cross-analysis to determine the homogeneity of the data and carried out the Wilcoxon signed-rank test, a nonparametric statistical test, to verify the significance of each group. Participation in the forest healing program led to a significant improve-ment in cognitive function (p=0.030). The levels of depression decreased, but this result was not statistically significant. The levels of anxiety decreased significantly (p=0.004). The mean cortisol score, a measurement of stress, decreased, but it was not statistically significant. These findings confirmed the effectiveness of this program for improving certain mental conditions of elderly people, and affirmed that the use of long-term forest healing programs can be expected to alleviate national pressures created by aging societies.

The purpose of this paper is to investigate the impact of several factors on students' decisions to attend a public institution in Vietnam's North Central area. The enrollment issue toward regional institutions is particularly critical in the Vietnam Ministry of Education and Training reforming the university enrollment process and the complicated scenario of the Covid-19 pandemic. A total of 500 students were surveyed for research samples. Data is synthesized, validated, cleaned, and analyzed using SPSS and AMOS software using methods including reliability, EFA, CFA, and SEM. The findings suggest that the proposed independent components (individual factors, study fees, advertisement, infrastructure and facilities, local features, and lastly, training activities) have a beneficial impact on students' decision to attend a public university in the North Central region. The study also found that the graduation exam outcome had a moderating effect on the relationship between registration and students' decisions. These imply targeted solutions for regional public universities to diversify training majors, improve training quality, capitalize on local advantages, increase interaction, and promote training programs and image to be more effective in attracting students and maintaining competition in the current enrollment environment.

Instatoon is a type of webtoons distributed through Instagram, but in the process of advancement of the webtoon industry, it shows the possibility of diversifying into a new genre that meets creativity, and diversity beyond uniform commercial webtoons. Since it does not go through a large platform, the content is freely composed. In addition, it is differentiated from other types of webtoons because in many cases artists create instatoon by adding entertaining elements into their real-life stories rather than drawing fictional ones. Furthermore, instatoons are free to enjoy, satisfaction level is high, but in most cases, even if there is a complaint, readers just enjoy webtoons without expressing it. We aimed to find out how the service quality characteristics of these instatoons affect behavioral intentions through the coexistence of satisfaction and dissatisfaction of readers, and meaninful results were found through empirical analysis. We discusses factors affecting the spread of Instatoons, including readers' satisfaction and dissatisfaction, the importance of relatability, good directing, and informativeness. The study emphasizes the need to approach maintaining existing readers and attracting new ones separately, and to manage readers effectively in the future.

This study aims to provide managerial implications considering strategic priorities for maintaining existing customers and attracting new customers in extremely competitive coffee franchise market. In particular, this study is differentiated from other previous studies as it attempted to examine both direct and indirect impact relations among self-congruity, functional congruity, perceived value(utilitarian/hedonic value), and attitude. Also, this study shows the relative impact of utilitarian value and hedonic value on attitude. The results show that self-congruity has positive effects on functional congruity and value (hedonic and utilitarian value), while functional congruity has positive effects on utilitarian value, hedonic value, and attitude. Moreover, self-congruity has indirect effects on attitude through functional congruity and value. The findings also indicate that hedonic value has relatively higher impact on attitude than utilitarian value does. At the end of the paper, managerial implications and limitations were suggested.

Recently, the Internet of Things is attracting attention as an important key technology of the 4th Industrial Revolution, and SW education using physical computing is suggested as a good alternative to supplement the problems raised by beginners in programming education. Among the many teaching tools that can be used for physical computing education, MODI is a modular manufacturing tool that anyone can easily assemble like Lego. MODI is a teaching tool that can improve learners' achievement by linking a self-linked block-type code editor called MODI Studio to lay the foundation for programming in a relatively small amount of time and immediately check the results in person. In this paper, a physical computing education method using MODI was designed to be applied to basic programming courses for programming beginners and applied to after-school classes for middle school students. As a result, it was found that students' interest and satisfaction were much higher in physical computing classes using MODI than in text-based programming classes. It can be seen that physical computing education that allows beginners to see and feel the results in person is more effective than grammar-oriented text programming, and it can have a positive effect on improving basic programming skills by increasing students' participation.

High bandwidth memory a core technology of the future memory semiconductor industry, is attracting attention. Temporary bonding and debonding process technology, which plays an important role in high bandwidth memory process technology, is also being studied. In this process, total thickness variation is a major factor determining wafer performance. In this study, the reliability of the equipment measuring total thickness variation is identified, and the servo motor settling, and wafer total thickness variation measurement accuracy are analyzed. As for the experimental variables, vacuum, acceleration time, and speed are changed to find the most efficient value by comparing the stabilization time. The smaller the vacuum and the larger the radius, the longer the settling time. If the radius is small, high-speed rotation performance is good, and if the radius is large, low-speed rotation performance is good. In the future, we plan to conduct an experiment to measure the entire of the wafer.

본 연구는 2011년부터 2020년까지 코스닥 신규상장 기업 467곳을 대상으로 하여 상장 전 벤처투자를 유치한 경험이 있는 기업(VI)과 유치 경험이 없는 기업(NVI)으로 구분한 후, 상장실적과 상장 후 성장성을 종속변수로 설정하여 차이가 존재하는지를 실증분석하였다. 기술통계량, 평균차이분석, 그리고 다중회귀분석을 수행하였고, 독립변수로는 VC투자, 상장 시 기업의 업력, 기업의 업종, 기업 소재지역, 창투사의 규모 및 업력, 창투사의 전문성, 투자기업과의 적합도를 나타내는 지표를 활용하였다. 분석 결과 VC 투자를 받은 기업의 상장실적과 상장 후 성장성이 더 우수함을 통계적 유의성에 근거하여 제한적으로 관찰하였다. VC 투자의 경우 주로 상장 소요기간에 대해 부(-)의 영향을, 매출액 증가율에 대해 정(+)의 영향을 주었다. VC 투자금액의 경우에는 상장소요기간에 부(-)의 효과를, IPO시 시가총액에 정(+)의 효과를 미치며, 성장성 지표 중에서는 기업의 실질적 경영지표 중 하나인 매출액 증가율에 대하여 정(+)의 영향을 나타내었다. 한편, 본 연구는 분석대상 기업의 업종이 연구개발 특수업종에 해당하는 경우, 상장 이후 성장성에 제한적이지만 유의한 정(+)의 효과를 확인하였다. 또한 기업 업력이 시가총액 증가율에 유의한 정(+)의 영향을 미치는 것을 일부 연도에서 확인하였는데, 이는 장기적이고 안정적인 경영능력을 보이는 경우 단기에 급속한 성장을 나타낼 때보다 시장에서 더 높은 시가총액을 달성할 수 있게 됨을 의미한다. 추가로 앵커창투사의 특성변수들에 대해서도 투자기업의 상장실적 및 상장 후 성장성에 유의미한 영향을 미치는지 살펴보았는데, 앵커창투사의 전문성 수준이 높으면 IPO 시점에서 더욱 높은 시가총액을 인정받는 것으로 나타났으나 그 외 다른 특성변수들에서는 통계적 유의성이 매우 국소적으로만 나타났다. 기존 선행연구와의 차별점은 지금까지도 코로나19에 의한 팬데믹 사태가 기업환경에 중대한 영향을 미치는 상황 속에서 우리나라 벤처캐피탈 생태계를 면밀하게 재검토하고자 하였고, 보다 효과적인 변수들을 도입하여 기업의 업종 영향을 살펴보는 등 특례상장과 같은 관련된 정책의 타당성 평가를 간접적으로나마 시도하였다는 점이다. 즉, 단순히 투자여부를 살펴보는 것에 더하여 VC 투자금액 또한 변수로 활용함으로써, 해당 금액의 수준에 따른 영향 또한 실증분석하였다. 본 논문은 이러한 탐색적 분석결과에 기반하여 기술특례상장제도 또는 벤처생태계로의 자금투입과 같은 정책들이 효과가 있음을 검증하였다. 그러나 최근 기술 발전 속도가 급격하게 증가하는 추세를 고려할 때 성장 동력을 충분히 가진 기업이 규제 또는 여론의 관성 등에 의해 성장성을 잃지 않도록 관련 제도를 신속하게 정비해야 하고, 지역 발전에 있어 업종을 특화할 수 있도록 도와주어야 하며, 회수시장 역시 보다 성장할 필요가 있다. 본 연구의 한계는 데이터가 충분히 확보되지 않아 가설 검정을 10% 유의수준 하에서 수행하고 결과를 해석하였으며, 회귀모형 분석 시 상대적으로 낮은 수준의 수정된 결정계수 값이 보고되었다는 점이다. 각 변수의 효과성을 통계적으로 확인하려는 본 논문의 시도에 기반하여, 추가적인 후속 연구에서는 모형 등을 보완해 나가길 기대한다.
