  • This paper aims to explore the recent economic restructuring and regional disparity after the IMF crisis in Korea in terms of uneven regional development. The so-called IMF crisis brought about changing Korean society and economy greatly. Although the Korean economy has been almost completely recovered from the IMF crisis, some structural problems remain. In particular, regional disparity has been deepening in the process of economic restructuring for overcoming the IMF crisis. While the Seoul metropolitan area including Kyunggi province has recovered from the crisis relatively fast and industrial production in the area has been kept active, the productive activities of local areas such as Pusan, Taegu, Kwanju and Ulsan province have shrunk significantly. On the contrary, the economic situation of Taejun province is not so bad in comparison with other local areas. The recent deepening of regional disparity after the IMF crisis can be seen as a process of economic restructuring to overcome the crisis. However, it is necessary to point out that production system has already been gradually transformed from Fordism toward post-Fordism since the early 1990s. In this context I argue that the IMF crisis, as an accelerating trigger of such spatial reconfiguration, has deepen regional disparity.

  • There have been various studies in Korea to develop a %IMF(Intramuscular Fat Percentage) estimation method suitable for Hanwoo. Recently, a %IMF estimation method using a convolutional neural network (CNN), a kind of deep learning method among artificial intelligence methods, has been studied. In this study, we performed a performance comparison when various preprocessing methods were applied to the %IMF estimation of ultrasound images using CNN as mentioned above. The preprocessing methods used in this study are normalization, histogram equalization, edge enhancement, and a method combining normalization and edge enhancement. When estimating the %IMF of Hanwoo by the conventional method that did not apply preprocessing in the experiment, the accuracy was 98.2%. The other hand, we found that the accuracy improved to 99.5% when using preprocessing with histogram equalization alone or combined regularization and edge enhancement.

  • To better understand the physical processes that maintain the high-latitude lower thermospheric dynamics, we have identified relative contributions of the momentum forcing and the heating to the high-latitude lower thermospheric winds depending on the interplanetary magnetic field (IMF) and altitude. For this study, we performed a term analysis of the potential vorticity equation for the high-latitude neutral wind field in the lower thermosphere during the southern summertime for different IMF conditions, with the aid of the National Center for Atmospheric Research Thermosphere-Ionosphere Electrodynamics General Circulation Model (NCAR-TIEGCM). Difference potential vorticity forcing and heating terms, obtained by subtracting values with zero IMF from those with non-zero IMF, are influenced by the IMF conditions. The difference forcing is more significant for strong IMF $B_y$ condition than for strong IMF $B_z$ condition. For negative or positive $B_y$ conditions, the difference forcings in the polar cap are larger by a factor of about 2 than those in the auroral region. The difference heating is the most significant for negative IMF $B_z$ condition, and the difference heatings in the auroral region are larger by a factor of about 1.5 than those in the polar cap region. The magnitudes of the difference forcing and heating decrease rapidly with descending altitudes. It is confirmed that the contribution of the forcing to the high-latitude lower thermospheric dynamics is stronger than the contribution of the heating to it. Especially, it is obvious that the contribution of the forcing to the dynamics is much larger in the polar cap region than in the auroral region and at higher altitude than at lower altitude. It is evident that when $B_z$ is negative condition the contribution of the forcing is the lowest and the contribution of the heating is the highest among the different IMF conditions.

  • Using multi-trait animal model BLUP, selection was conducted over seven generations for growth rate (DG), real-time ultrasound loin-eye muscle area (LEA), backfat thickness (BF), and intramuscular fat content (IMF) to develop a new line of purebred Duroc pigs with enhanced meat production and meat quality. This study was intended to investigate the relationship between restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) of a heart fatty acid-binding protein (H-FABP) gene and intramuscular fat content (IMF) of this Duroc purebred population. The present experiment examined the RFLP of 499 slaughtered pigs. The DNA was separated from the blood or ear tissue of the pigs, which were slaughtered at 105 kg of body weight. Intramuscular fat content of the longissimus muscle was measured using chemical analysis. A significant difference was detected in the breeding value of IMF among the H-FABP PCR RFLP genotypes. The AA genotype has a significantly larger positive effect on the IMF breeding value than do the Aa and aa genotypes for the MspI RFLP. In addition, the DD genotype has a significantly greater positive effect on IMF breeding value than the Dd and dd genotypes for the HaeIII RFLP. For the HinfI RFLP, the hh genotype has a significantly larger positive effect on IMF breeding value than the HH genotype. Multiple regression analysis was performed using the IMF breeding values as the dependent variable and the three H-FABP genotypes as independent variables. Results revealed that the contribution of the genotypes to variation in IMF breeding values was approximately 40%. These results demonstrated that H-FABP RFLPs affect IMF in this Duroc population.

  • We try to find the determinants of fisheries firms' capital structure during the years from 1992 to 2007 in this paper. We also have a comparative analysis of capital raising behavior in pre and post-IMF financial crisis. Regression analysis is used for this empirical study. Dependent variable is leverage ratio and independent variables are firm size, operating risk, proportion of tangible asset, non-debt tax shield effect, sales growth ratio, profitability and dummy variable. We compared the characteristics of fisheries industry with that of manufacturing industy. The determinants of fisheries firms' capital structure and correlation between pre and post-IMF financial crisis are roughly same as the hypothses except a little difference. As a peculiar difference, corrlation between fisheries firms' operating risk and leverage ratio is (+) in the pre-IMF financial crisis, but (-) in the post-IMF financial crisis. Proportion of tangible asset has a (+) correlation with leverage ratio in pre and post-IMF financial crisis, but in case of manufacturing industy, (-) correlation shows in the pre-IMF financial crisis. Because, in the pre-IMF financial crisis, high proportion of tangible asset doesn't play a role of a collateral, but only increase the bankruptcy probability. Non-debt tax shield effect and leverage ratio have (-) correlation in all industry and all period, but only (+) correlation in case of fisheries industry in the pre-IMF financial crisis. Sales growth ratio has no significant relationship with leverage ratio in fisheries industry, and this is not coincide with our hypothsis. We have a limitation of the sample size of fisheries firms and sample period in this study. Further study is required to classify the fisheries industry with in-shore fisheries, deep sea fisheries and cold storage industry.

  • 근내지방도(IMF)가 한우육의 품질 및 기능성분에 미치는 영향을 조사하기 위하여, 250두의 한우를 근내지방 함량에 따라 Low(<14%, n=96), Medium(14~17%, n=83), High(>17%; n=71) 세 그룹으로 분류하고, 7일간 숙성 후 등심육의 품질 및 기능성분을 분석하였다. 한우 등심육의 수분 함량은 IMF와 반비례하였으며, High IMF 그룹은 Low IMP 그룹에 비하여 낮은 드립 감량을 나타내었다. 기능성 didpeptide 함량은 IMF에 따라 유의적 차이가 없었으나, High IMF 그룹은 다른 그룹보다 낮은 inosine monophosphate, 높은 hypoxanthine, 낮은 histidine 함량은 나타내었다. 불포화지방산의 비율은 IMF에 따라 유의적 차이가 없었다. 저지방육의 건강지향적 가치를 고려할 때 지나친 IMF를 목표로 하는 육종 및 사양은 지양되어야 할 것으로 판단되었다.

  • During the IMF period the unsold of apartment housing was significantly increased due to financial problems. Apartment constructors had to severely struggle with fund problems and even some of them were bankrupted. Due to this fact, they had to find new marketing strategies to sell the apartment complexes even with low margins. One of the solutions was that housing companies could present a distinctive and outstanding outdoor space in apartment complexes. The purpose of this study was to investigate such differentiated marketing strategies by reviewing the apartment housing advertisements during the IMF period. The major findings through this study were as follows: 1. During the IMF period housing companies presented a distinctive and outstanding outdoor space in apartment complexes. In 1999, which was the peak of the IMF impact, there were frequent advertisements for apartment housing in daily newspapers. 2. Daily newspapers had been mostly used for advertising the apartments. A thorough review of them is very valuable in investigating differentiated marketing strategies of the outdoor space in apartment complexes. 3. The main theme of differentiation of outdoor space can be summarized as : Emphasis of the importance of healthy life, application of environment-friendly facilities, and use of traditional korean style elements in apartment complexes.

  • 본 연구에서는 IMF 구제금융도입과 관련된 일련의 사건들이 우리나라 금융기관 주가에 미친 영향을 분석하여 금융기관에 대한 시장전망의 추이를 알아보았다. IMF 구제금융도입은 궁극적으로 안정된 금융시스템을 추구한다는 (+)의 효과와 금융기관구조조정에 따른 규제와 이에 드는 비용으로 인한 (-)의 효과가 혼재되어 있다. IMF 구제금융도입과 이에 따른 제도정비에 금융기관 주가가 보인 반응을 살펴보기 위하여 IMF 긴급구제금융요청, 구제금융지원협상 타결, 금융개혁관련법안 국회통과, 외채협상타결, 기업구조조정 관련법안 국회통과 등 5개를 사건일1, 2, 3, 4, 5로 하여 사건연구방법에 의하여 분석하였는데 그 결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 사건일 1, 2, 3, 4에서는 누적평균초과수익률이 유의한 (-)의 반응을 보여 금융기관의 기업가치에 관한 부정적 반응이 나타났다. 그러나 사건일5(기업구조조정 관련법안 국회통과)를 계기로 누적평균초과수익률이 유의적이지는 않지만 (+)의 반응으로 반전되고 있어 금융기관에 대한 시장전망이 나아짐을 보여주었다. 둘째, 누적평균초과수익률이 일반은행과 다른 업종(증권, 종금, 보험)간에는 유의한 차이가 있었으나 다른 업종(증권, 종금, 보험)간에는 유의한 차이가 없었으며 금융기관의 누적초과수익률이 자기자본비율과 유의한 (+)의 선형관계로 나타나지 않아 IMF 충격으로 시장효율성이 저하된 것으로 나타났다. 그러나 이 또한 사건일5(기업구조조정 관련법안 국회통과)를 계기로 강력한 구조조정과정을 겪고 있는 종합금융회사를 제외하고는 누적초과수익률이 자기자본비율과 유의적이지는 않지만 (+)의 반응이 보여 시간이 경과함에 따라 IMF 충격으로 야기된 비효율적인 시장반응이 개선되고 있음이 밝혀졌다.
