This review begins with a brief expression of aerosol capture mechanism of fibrous filter(s) and performance of particulate removing respirators. The more complicated and detailed discussion is not included in this articles. Filtration efficiency and pressure drop are introduced as quality factor ( $q_{F}$) and the way in which filtration efficiency varies with particle size is discussed. Quality factors fro filters recently certified in USA were found to be very higher than those of filters made in Korea, China and USA filters certified with old certified standards. Electrically charged filters are widely used because they have high filtration efficiency and low pressure drop, but their efficiency decreases sharply at the condition occurring wet and oil mist. A discussion is given of respirator leakage through face seal and filter media with fit testing and total inward leakage testing. Since fit factor (FF) refers to the reciprocal of the fraction of the total air entering a respirator through face seal leakage , the degree of fitting performance for respirators is expected with FF. Because respirators made in Korea had generally lower FFs than respirators made in USA, it is necessary to develope respirators that fit properly for Koreans or establish regulations for fit testing.g.

The photophysical properties and the singlet oxygen generation efficiency of tetrathiarubyrin have been investigated to elucidate the possibility of its use as a photodynamic therapy (PDT) photosensitizer by steady-state and time-resolved spectroscopic methods. The observed photophysical properties were affected by various molecular aspects, such as extended ${\pi}conjugation$, structural distortion, and internal heavy atom. The steady-state electronic absorption spectrum was red-shifted due to the extended $\pi-conjugation$, and the spin orbital coupling was enhanced by the structural distortion and the internal heavy atom effect. As a result of the enhanced spin orbital coupling, the triplet quantum yield increased to 0.90 $\pm$ 0.10 and the triplet state lifetime was shortened to 7.0 $\pm$ 1.2 ${\mu}s$. Since the triplet state decays at a relatively faster rate, the efficiency of the oxygen quenching of the triplet state decreases. The singlet oxygen quantum yield was estimated to be 0.52 $\pm$ 0.02, which is somewhat lower than expected. On the other hand, the efficiency of singlet oxygen generation during the oxygen quenching of triplet state, $f{\Delta}^T$, is near unity. Such high efficiency of singlet oxygen generation can be explained by the following two possible factors: The hydrogen bonding of ethanol which impedes the deactivation pathway of the charge transfer complex with oxygen to the ground state, the less probability of the aggregation formation.

Conventional banks are often considered more efficient than Islamic banks because they have been operating for decades, but Islamic banks have shown rapid development recently. Therefore, this study mainly aims to compare the level of efficiency of conventional banks and Islamic banks and which ones have the best level of efficiency. This study employs panel data using Stochastic Frontier Analysis (SFA) as the data analysis technique. The data used is annual data from 13 conventional banks and 13 Islamic banks in Indonesia during the 2014-2019 period. The result shows no significant difference in the efficiency of conventional banks and Islamic banks. This result is presumably influenced by the small size of the bank and the total number of banks used in the study. The data used in the study is limited to the period from 2014 to 2019. The variables utilized are also limited to the availability of financial report data which is publicly published. This study provides additional empirical evidence regarding conventional banks' and Islamic banks' efficiency in Indonesian banking by using the latest data. While theoretically, Islamic banks are expected to be more efficient than conventional banks, this study did not find any strong support for the case in Indonesia during the observation period.

4차 산업혁명의 핵심 동인으로서 Software(이하 SW)의 중요성이 더욱 커짐에 따라, 정부는 국가 경쟁력 강화를 위해 SW R&D 투자를 늘리고 SW 관련 정책을 지속적으로 수립하고 있다. 하지만 SW 연구개발에 대한 정부의 지속적인 투자에 비해, SW 연구개발 투자성과에 대한 체계적 분석은 부족한 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 Data Envelopment Analysis(DEA) 기법을 이용하여 SW 국가연구개발 사업의 분야별 효율성을 분석하였다. 2008년~2018년까지 정보통신산업진흥원(NIPA)에서 수행된 1,463개 과제정보를 토대로 효율성을 정태적/동태적 관점에서 측정하였다. 정태적 관점의 규모효율성 측정을 통해 비효율성 원인을 규모와 기술문제로 분석하였다. DEA/Window 모형을 이용한 동태적 효율성 분석 결과를 제시하고 효율성-안정성 매트릭스를 이용해 분야별 대응 모델을 제시하였다. 본 연구는 SW 국가연구 개발사업 전체를 대상으로 효율성 분석을 수행했다는 점에 의의가 있으며, 정태적/동태적 효율성 분석결과는 향후 SW 국가연구개발사업 기획 시 기초자료로 활용이 가능할 것으로 기대된다.

태양광발전이란 태양에너지를 직접 전기 에너지로 변환시키는 것이다. 지난 5년 동안 태양광발전은 세계적으로 높은 성장률을 보여 왔다. 특히 2006년에는 30%, 이상의 성장을 가져왔으며 앞으로 20년 동안 평균 생산 성장률은 매년 27%-34%가 될 것으로 예상하고 있다. 현재까지는 태양광발전을 이용해 생산된 전력의 가격은 기존 전력발전의 가격보다 높지만 태양광 기술의 발전과 효율의 향상으로 점점 그 가격이 떨어지고 있다. 뿐만 아니라 태양전지용의 실리콘 기판의 대량생산은 점점 더 태양전지의 가격 저하를 가져오고 있다. 태양전지의 변화효율의 한계는 30%이다. 현재에는 결정질 실리콘 태양전지가 주를 이루고 있지만 미래에는 박막 실리콘 태양전지가 주도를 이룰 것이다. 2030년에는 박막 태양전지가 90%이상을 이루고 결정질 태양전지는 10% 이하로 떨어질 것을 예상하고 있다. 성균관대학교에서는 결정질 실리콘 태양전지의 저가화와 고효율화를 주 연구로 수행하고 있다. 현재 성균관대학교에서는 스크린 프린트를 이용해서 16% 이상의 다결정 실리콘 태양전지와 17% 이상의 단결정 실리콘 태양전지를 성공적으로 제작하였다. 제 1세대에서 다음 세대의 태양전지 발전의 과정은 새로운 접근법으로 확대되지만 여전히 실리콘이 지금까지 주된 재료로 쓰이고 있다. 2010년까지 이러한 기술들에 대한 격차는 여전히 있지만 태양광발전을 통한 전력생산의 가격은 60 cent/watt 정도로 예상하고 있다. 태양광발전은 청정에너지로서 재생불가능 하고 고갈되어가고 환경오염을 일으키는 다른 에너지와 비교하여 점점 대체에너지로서의 자리를 확립해 가고 있다.

The tax system in Korea is the so-called one-item-one-tax law which has separate tax law for each taxation according to tax law. The common and procedural aspects of these tax laws are the same or similar, but they are separately prescribed by the National Tax Basic Act and the Local Tax Act. These legal systems complicate the tax law and increase the cost of tax cooperation, resulting in tax inefficiency. In this study, the National Tax Act and the laws of the Local Tax Act are integrated and presented. It is proposed that the common provisions should be integrated into a single law and the unique matters should be defined in each of the National Tax Basic Act and Local Tax Basic Act, by comparing and analyzing the provisions of the National Tax Basic Act and the Local Tax Basic Act. The integration of the common elements of the National Tax Basic Act and the Local Tax Act is expected to improve tax efficiency by reducing tax complexity and tax cooperation costs. In addition, the National Tax Act and the Local Tax Act are expected to maintain the characteristics of the National Tax Basic Act and the Local Tax Act when they are specified in the National Tax Basic Act and the Local Tax Basic Act. This study is expected to be a research that can reduce tax inefficiency and help convenience of taxpayer and tax administration.

According to the 5th Climate Change Report, global average temperature in 2081~2100 will increase 1.8℃ based on RCP 4.5 and 3.7℃ based on RCP 8.5 from the current climate value (IPCC Working Group I AR5). As temperature is expected to increase due to global warming and the intensity and frequency of rainfall are expected to increase, damage to crops is expected, and countermeasures must be taken. This study intends to evaluate rice growth in terms of nitrogen utilization efficiency according to future climate change conditions. In this experiment, Oryza sativa cv. Shindongjin were planted at the SPAR facility of the NICS in Wanju-gun, Jeollabuk-do on June 10, and were planted and grown according to the standard cultivation method. Cultivation conditions are high temperature, high CO₂ (current temperature+4.7℃·CO₂ 800ppm), high temperature (current temperature+4.7℃·CO₂ 400ppm), current climate (current tempreture·CO₂ 400 ppm). Nitrogen was varied as 0, 9, 18 kg/10a. The N content and C/N ratio of all rice leaves, stems, and seeds increased at high temperature, and the N content and C/N ratio decreased under high temperature and high CO₂ conditions com pared to high temperature. Compared to the current climate, NUE increases by about 8% under high temperature and high CO₂ conditions and by about 2% under high temperature conditions. This seems to be because the increase in temperature and CO₂ induced the increase in biomass. ANUE related to yield decreased by about 70% compared to the current climate under high temperature conditions, and decreased by about 45% at high temperature and high CO₂, showing a tendency to decrease compared to high temperature. This appears to be due to reduced fertility and poor ripening due to high temperature stress. However, as the nitrogen increased, the number of ears and the number of grains increased, slightly offsetting the production reduction factor.

Purpose - Recent issues such as vessel enlargement, strengthening of environmental regulations, and port smartization are expected to increase costs and intensify competition in the port industry. In the new normal era, when external growth has reached its limit, the efficient operation of ports is becoming indispensable for achieving sustainable growth. This study aims to identify the determinants of inefficiency by examining the cost structure and efficiency of container terminals in Korea and furthermore propose the political implications to derive the maximization of efficiency. Design/methodology - This study estimates the cost function of container terminal operators and identifies the efficiency of container terminals using stochastic cost frontier (SCF) in the first stage. In the second step, the SCF results are compared with the data envelopment analysis (DEA). Last, this paper proposes efficiency determinants on container terminal operation to establish appropriate strategies. Out of the 29 container terminal operators in South Korea, 13 operators participated in the survey. The translog cost function was estimated utilizing a total of 116 observations collected over the 2007-2017 period. Findings - Empirical analysis shows that economies of scale exist in Korea's container ports, which provides a rationale for the government's policy to establish the global terminal operator by integrating small terminal operators to enhance competitiveness. In addition, as a result of the determinants analysis, container throughput, weight of direct employment costs, and labour cost share have positive effects on improving cost efficiency, while inefficiency increases as the length of quay increases. More specifically, cost efficiency improves as the proportion of direct employment costs to outsourcing service costs increases. Originality/value - This study contributes to analyzing the inefficiency factors of container terminals through efficiency analysis with respect to a cost function. In addition, this study proposes the practical and political implications, such as establishing a long-term manpower pool, the application of the hybrid liner terminal system, and the construction of a statistical data system, to improve the cost inefficiency of terminal operators.

본 연구는 결혼이주여성의 진로활동과정에서 자기효능감이 어떠한 역할을 하는지 알아보고자 한다. 이는 자기효능감이 결혼이주여성들의 삶에서 스스로 어려움을 극복하고 진로를 계속해 나가는데 기여할 것으로 예상하기 때문이다. 결혼이주여성 7명을 대상으로 심층 인터뷰로 자료를 수집하였고 내용분석 하였다. 연구결과는 두 부분으로 구분하였다. 결혼이주여성의 진로목적과 진로장벽에서의 자기효능감의 유무에 따른 결과이다. 첫째, 진로목적에서의 결과는 자기효능감이 높을수록 계속적인 진로를 수행하며 자기 자신에 대한 긍정적 평가를 가지며 자기효능감이 낮을수록 근접한 하위목표를 가지고 있지 않으며 개인의 진로를 계속하지 못하거나 느려질 가능성이 커진다. 둘째, 진로장벽에서의 결과는 자기효능감이 높을수록 진로장벽을 극복대상으로 여기며 문제를 해결해 나가는 모습을 보였다. 자기효능감이 낮은 경우 진로장벽에 대처할 적절한 전략을 찾지 못하고 진로장벽에 순응하여 진로를 더 행하지 않는 결과를 보였다.
