Industrial agglomeration policy is a strategy that is expected to accelerate economic growth to transform an impoverished region into a prosperous one. However, industrial agglomeration also has the potential to exacerbate development inequality due to the concentration of economic development activities in certain areas. Therefore, this study aims to investigate what strategies are best to minimize the adverse effects of industrial agglomeration. This study uses econometric analysis with panel data covering 38 districts/cities in East Java during the 2011-2019 period. The results showed that the combination of industrial agglomeration policies coupled with accelerated sectoral growth, hard infrastructure development, and soft infrastructure provided the best policy outcome, improving regional inequality and accelerating economic growth in East Java. Based on the analysis, we find that East Java's economic growth characteristics are convergent but relatively long. Therefore, the East Java economic development policy during 2010-2019 should be reviewed due to the relatively long convergence period. Furthermore, this study also found that industrial agglomeration slows down the convergence and economic growth of East Java. In the future, the deployment of Industrial Development Centers (PPI) outside the existing eight districts/cities is needed to accelerate the spread of economic activity in East Java.

Foreign direct investment (FDI) has increased at an exponential rate during the last two decades. It is now a feature of emerging market economies as well. Foreign direct investment and financial development are important factors in an economy's growth. Various studies have examined the impact of foreign direct investment and financial development on economic growth in different countries and areas. However, the findings are currently inconclusive. Using updated data from 1970 to 2020, this study will examine the relationships between FDI, financial development, and economic growth in 30 rising economies.GDP is the dependent variable, while FDI, financial development, trade openness, infrastructure, exchange rate, and GDP growth are the independent factors. To estimate the panel data, we used the most recent econometric models. The study's major findings suggest that FDI and financial development are critical determinants in emerging economies' economic progress. Furthermore, multiple robustness checks supported the study's empirical findings. The results of this study include various practical recommendations for investors, governments, and policymakers, given the increased interest in global economic integration and member states' reliance on FDI as a critical aspect of sustaining prosperity.

Plantlets of Alocasia amazonica regenerated under a photon flux density (PFD) of 15 or $30{\mu}mol\;m^{-2}s^{-1}$ showed better growth and development than those grown under higher PFDs. While chlorophyll a and chlorophyll b decreased, the number of stomata increased with increasing PFD. Photoperiods also affected plantlet growth and stomatal development. Highest growth was observed for the short photoperiod (8/16 h) and for equinoctial (12/12 h) light and dark periods. Very few stomata developed in the leaves of plantlets grown under a short photoperiod (8/16 h) and the number of stomata increased with increasing light period. In conclusion, both light intensity and photoperiod independently affect growth of A. amazonica and development of stomata, depending on the intensity and duration of light treatment.

최근의 금융 부문 스펙트럼 확대 및 실물과의 연계 심화는 한국 산업의 지속적 성장에 큰 변수로 부상하고 있다. 이에 따라 본 연구에서는 그 동안 한국의 금융 발전이 경제 성장을 견인하였는가와 금융 부문이 발전함에 따라 '외부금융의존도'와 '성장기회'라는 요인들이 한국의 산업별 성장에 효율적으로 기여하였는가를 각각 거시적 미시적 측면에서 실증 분석하였다. 우선, 한국 금융 발전과 경제 성장에 대한 거시적 분석 결과, 한국의 금융 발전은 성장을 일방향적으로 cause할 뿐 아니라 유의미한 동태적 성장기여 효과를 보이는 것으로 나타났다. 다음으로 '외부금융의존도'와 '성장기회'라는 대표적 경로들에 대한 산업 차원의 미시적 패널 분석을 실시한 결과 금융 발전에 따른 '외부금융의존도'의 확대가 성장에 미치는 효과는 분석 기간별로 다르게 나타났으나 금융 발전과 '성장기회'확대의 상호 작용은 분석 기간에 관계없이 지속적으로 성장에 정(+)의 유의미한 효과를 미쳐 왔음을 확인하였다. 본 연구는 향후, 지속적이고 안정적인 경제 성장을 위해서는 선도적 금융 전략 마련을 위한 노력 및 적극적인 성장기회 포착이 중요하다는 점을 내포한다. 반면, 앞으로 산업 내 외부금융 조달 정도는 적정 임계수준을 초과하지 않도록 유지될 필요가 있음을 또한 시사한다.

To estimate the effect of selective breeding on the improvement of growth in olive flounder Paralichthys olivaceus, we compared the growth of a strain selected for rapid growth to that of an unselected strain from a commercial hatchery. The fish strains were fed with either moist pellets (MP) (dry matter, 59.8% crude protein; 14.1% lipid) or extruded pellets (EP) (dry matter, 50.4% crude protein; 13.8% lipid) for 190 days and were reared under similar conditions. The mortality rates were less than 2% and were not significantly different among the experimental groups. The growth rate of the selected fish was significantly greater than that of the unselected fish regardless of the diet type, and both strains fed MP grew significantly faster than those fed EP. The selected fish consumed more feed than the unselected fish. However, there was no significant difference in the feed efficiency between the selected and unselected fish. These results demonstrate that the selected fish exhibited superior growth rates, and that this was associated with a greater intake of food. Thus, selective breeding may be useful for improving the growth of commercial olive flounder.

From the economic development perspective, economic growth should accompany structural improvement in order to meet complex demands from a society. In the context of development economics, economic growth is critically dependent on successful structural advancement. The issue of structural change is also important for advanced economies as the landscape of modern industry is changing fast. Many advanced countries of slow growth are experiencing dawdling changes in industry structure. However, there is no definitive answer to the question of whether there is a causal relationship between structural change and growth. This study empirically assesses the relationship between structural change or 'speed' thereof and economic growth in developed countries of OECD. Rather than looking into the causes of structural changes, this study simply measures structural changes in OECD economies and examines if structural change is really contributing to growth. The reason why this study focuses on advanced countries of OECD is rather obvious; technological innovation and emergence of new industries pressure these countries to restructure their economies to address these new challenges though they are at stages well beyond conventional industrialization. And structural rigidity can always limit growth even in advanced countries. The main results of this study can be summarized as a positive relationship between 'change and growth'. 'Change' in this study refers to changes in the industrial structure based on value-added and was analyzed to have a close positive relationship with economic growth. This result is consistent with arguments of early development economists emphasizing structural upgrade as an indispensable process for growth and development. The result of this study potentially confirms that the main argument of development economics is valid also for advanced economies. One of our results suggests that business/professional services and social services should be main targets for restructuring for advanced economies. The rational may be that rapid convergence of manufacturing and services is a key for structural advancement in the era of new technologies. Obviously, as manufacturing technology and production are standardized, it is difficult to secure international competitiveness through traditional manufacturing alone and the role of R&D, design, logistics, and marketing is becoming more important.

Growth, mammary development, serum concentrations of growth hormone, prolactin and estradiol which affect the growth and mammary development, were investigated in Korean Native heifers and Holstein heifers from 5 months old to 15 months old. From 5 months old to 15 months old, body weights in Korean Native heifers averaged 37%, lower than those in Holstein heifers of the same age (P<.01). Teat volumes in Korean Native heifers are average 67% smaller than those in Holstein heifers. Analysis of serum protein by secondary electrophoresis showed differences in protein pattern between the breeds and between the individuals. From 5 months old to 15 months old, serum concentration of growth hormone in Korean Native heifers was averge 47% lower than that in Holstein (P<.01), yet prolactin concentrations in serum were about the same between the two breeds. However serum concentration of estradiol in Korean Native heifers was average 20% higher than that in Holstein of same age (P<.01). This result showed evidently that the decrease of the growth hormone concentration in serum, while growing up, causes to retard the growth and mammary development in Korean Native heifers compared to Holstein heifers.

Understanding the development of a skull deformity requires an understanding of the normal morphogenesis of the cranium. Craniosynostosis is the premature, pathologic ossification of one or more cranial sutures leading to skull deformities. A review of the English medical literature using textbooks and standard search engines was performed to gather information about the prenatal development and growth of the cranial vault of the neurocranium. A process of morphogenic sequencing begins during prenatal development and growth, continues postnatally, and contributes to the basis for the differential manner of growth of cranial vault bones. This improved knowledge might facilitate comprehension of the pathophysiology of craniosynostosis.

Effects of nonylphenol (NP) on gonadal development and growth of olive flounder, Paralichthys olivaceus were investigated. NP treatment was carried out to fry fish (during 55 to 64 days after hatching) using oral adminstration at nominal NP concentrations of 50, 100 and 150 tig/g BW Gonad before NP treatment was sexually undifferentiated as observed with mostly gonia cells. At 159 days after hatching, ovarian lamella of ovary were filled with oogonia and perinucleolus oocytes. On the other hand, testicular lobules of the testis were occupied by spermatogonia, spermatocytes and spermatids. Histological observation of ovary and testis development was any different between the control and NP treated groups. However, growth was significantly increased in NP treated groups than control groups (P< 0.05). These results considerate that NP has any effect for sex differentiation and gonadal development, but act for early growth in olive flounder.
