This study proposes a web presence readiness model based on pre-payment service functions and a post-payment service function both of which embrace the major concerns of customers in the online purchasing context. Based on the concept of customer utility from the product itself and instrumental utility, the research model suggests four antecedents including, Perceived Economic Benefits, Product Search Support Quality, e-Shopping Method Diversity, and Post-Payment Support Quality. We empirically examined a proposed research model using data collected from online rating company websites. Among the four antecedents, post payment support quality is found to be the most influential determinant of customer evaluation on e-commerce websites. Based on the empirical results, the current study proposes an alternate model of web presence readiness. The findings of this study may provide an insight to field practitioners designing commercial websites. The implications and future research directions are further discussed.

The objective of this research was to provide the characterization and method for producing anti-E. coli O157:H7 antibodies in egg-laying hens and to determine if the antibody can restrain the proliferation of E. coli O157:H7 in-vitro. Selected antigenic fractions (whole cell, outer membrane protein and lipopolysaccharide (LPS)) from E. coli O157:H7 were injected to hens in order to produce anti-E. coli O157:H7 antibodies. The immune response and the egg yolk antibodies of laying hens against the whole cell, outer membrane protein and LPS antigens were monitored by ELISA. The level of antibodies against whole cell antigen monitored through ELISA sharply increased after the initial immunization, and it was found to be maximum on day 49 however, the level was maintained up to day 70. Antibodies (5 mg/ml) directed against the whole cell inhibited E. coli proliferation 10-13 times more than outer membrane protein or LPS. The antibody response against the whole cell antigens appeared to have higher activity in restraining the proliferation of E. coli O157:H7 than antibody against outer membrane protein or LPS. Results reflected that increasing the IgY's in the egg yolk could prevent greater economic losses due to human and animal health from pathogenic bacteria i.e. E. coli O157:H7.

Objectives We aimed to examine health-related economic analysis of available interventions on idiopathic short stature (ISS). Methods Eight studies were reviewed from English, Korean, and Chinese databases which were published up to December 24, 2020. Effectiveness, utility, and cost data were extracted from the studies and descriptive analysis of the individual studies was conducted Results Five studies were chosen. In the two economic evaluation studies, the incremental cost-effectiveness ratio (ICER) of growth hormone (GH) treatment was presented by performing cost-effectiveness analysis based on the deterministic decision tree approach for the GH and untreated group. Final adult height and direct medical costs were analyzed as effectiveness and cost outcomes. In 1 review article, an ICER of GH was presented based on systematic review on the effects of the GH treatment. In the two clinical trials, the effectiveness and cost of the 12 months Oriental medicine combination treatment were presented in comparison with the GH treatment alone. There were no literatures that provided utility data of available intervention on ISS. Conclusions The results of this study will be used as basic data for the economic analysis of Oriental medicine treatment on ISS in the future.

The paper examines the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the stock market prices. The vector autoregression model (VAR) has been used in this analysis to survey 341 stocks on the Ho Chi Minh City Stock Exchange (HOSE) for the period from January 23, 2020 to December 31, 2020. The empirical results obtained from the analysis of 11 economic sectors suggest that there is a statistically significant impact relationship between COVID-19 and the healthcare and utility industries. Additional findings show a statistically significant negative impact of COVID-19 on the utility share price at lag 1. Analysis of impulse response function (IRF) and forecast error variance decomposition (FEVD) show an inverse reaction of utility stock prices to the impact of COVID-19 and a gradual disappearing shock after two steps. Major findings show that there is a clear negative effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on share prices, and the daily increase in the number of confirmed cases, indicate that, in future disease outbreaks, early containment measures and positive responses are necessary conditions for governments and nations to protect stock markets from excessive depreciation. Utility stocks are among the most severely impacted shares on financial exchanges during a pandemic due to the high risk of immediate or irreversible closure of manufacturing lines and poor demand for basic amenities.

Korean economic and industrial structure has been seperated into some areas with the trend of the change to the bloc system of international economy: the Gyeongin including the capital area, the Middle-West, the South-West, the South-East, and the Eastern sea areas. Mokpo port has played a major role as the central one of the South-West area and the entrance of Yeong-san river of Jeonnam province gate. Some studies has been done on the Mokpo port, but there is no research of the analytical approach about it. In this paper, we analyze the data of 1994's on the domestic and oceangoing piers in the Mokpo port and simulate the transportation process of it through a queueing model. The results of the simulation are summarized as follows: The average arrival interval of the domestic vessel is 6.034 hours. The average service time and the berth utility rate are 24.056 hours and over 100%, respectively. The average arrival interval of the oceangoing vessel is 34.48 hours. The average service time and the berth utility rate are 120.04 hours and the 34.91%, respectively. The proposal to improving of the Mokpo port as follows: It is desirable to extend the capacity of domestic pier to about 50% for the optimal utility rate of 70% and in the case of oceangoing pier to be increase 65% of the vessel capacity for the optimal utility rate of 70%.

The purpose of this research were to classify college women's clothing shopping orientation and analyze the predictable variables of impulse buying. The results of this research were as follows ; 1. Clothing shopping orientation was classified leisure pursuit, economic, careful and name brand preferring shopping. With reference to leisure pursuit and economic shopping, they were classified into four types, low shopping involved shopping type, economic shopping type, leisure pursuit shopping type, and high shopping involved shopping type. The low shopping-involved and the economic shopping types made much of planned buying. The planned impulse buying, reminder impulse buying, fashion oriented impulse buying and pure impulse buying were highly evaluated in the high-involved and the leisure pursuit shopping types. 3. The high shopping-involved and leisure pursuit shopping types were more likely to do impulse buying than low shopping-involved and the economic shopping types. 4. The most important factor for the four groups was design. Quality, color, utility were followed by design. 5. Impulse buying behaviors of four groups could be predicted by the information source and the marketing stimulus buying.

최근 들어, 물 분쟁은 발생횟수 뿐만 아니라 그 심각성이 증대되고 있는 실정이다. 따라서 합리적인 용수배분 방안과 설득력 있는 기본원칙 수립 필요성이 부각되고 있다. 본 연구의 목적은 경제적 효율성과 사회적 효용을 중시한 용도간 용수배분을 실시하는 것이다. 용도간 배분을 위해서는 물 부족에 따른 피해함수를 산정한 후, 이를 효용함수로 전환하였으며 '한계효용균등의 법칙'을 적용하여 사회적 효용을 극대화하고자 하였다. 또한 지역의 용수수요 규모 및 특성을 반영한 가중치를 산정하여 지역간 용수배분에 적용하였다. 이러한 용수배분방법을 한강권역의 미래 물 부족상황에 적용한 결과, 생활용수의 배분량이 농업 및 공업용수에 비해 상대적으로 크게 산정되었다. 지역별로는 상대적으로 낮은 도시화, 공업화가 진행된 강원도 지역이 물 부족량의 상당부분을 부담하는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구는 국내의 용수공급 체계상 어려움이 있는 경제학적 용수배분에 대한 하나의 대안을 제공한 것이라 하겠다.
