  • The purpose of this study is to confirm the productivity of housework empirically by analyzing the newspaper articles during the financial aid from the IMF. During this period, Korean Households expenses. And Korea government also wanted to share the burden of overcoming the currency crisis with households. Theoretically, Home economists has approved the productivity of housework as it increases the worth of wage by reducing cost of labor reproduction. So this article try to verify the productivity of housework by analyzing if there was public demand of housework as a means of reducing expenses during the IMF regime, based on newspaper articles. The major findings that are derived from the study are as follows : First, during the IMF regime, Households and housewives were described as an agent of overcoming economic crisis in newspaper articles. Second, households were required to substitute money expenses for housework to cut expenses. These results show that housework has worth as a productive labor and contribute to society and households as it increases the worth of wage and deceases the cost of living.

  • Two component orthodontic C-implants have been introduced as intermaxillary fixation (IMF) screws in cases of periodontal problems with bone loss, severely damaged teeth, or short roots. This retrospective research sought to investigate the complications and risk factors associated with the failure of two-part C-implants for IMF cases and to show the possible indications compared to one-component mini-implants. The study sample consisted of 46 randomly selected patients who had a total of 203 implants. Pearson chi-square tests of independence were used to test for associations among categorical variables. At least 19 of the total 203 implants failed (9.3%). There was no significant difference in implant failure due to gender, oral hygiene, and placement, although a significant difference due to soft tissue characteristics and root contact was observed. The two-component design of the mini-implant is reliable for difficult IMF cases. Note, however, that the factors influencing implant failure were found to be age, root damage, and condition of soft tissues.

  • Objective: The relationship between water-holding capacity (WHC) and intermuscular fat (IMF) was studied in Japanese commercial pork. Methods: Longissimus muscles of pigs (n = 62), obtained from two meat packing plants, were analyzed for IMF content, moisture content, drip loss, cooking loss, and pH. Pairwise relationships among these traits were determined using correlation analyses. Results: IMF content was significantly correlated with moisture content (r = -0.88; p<0.01) and pH (r = 0.32; p<0.05), but not with drip loss (r = -0.23; p = 0.07) or cooking loss (r = -0.10; p = 0.42). In contrast, drip loss was significantly (and negatively) correlated with pH (r = -0.57; p<0.01). Conclusion: IMF content was not significantly correlated with WHC in pork, and so ultimately, we consider pH to be one of the most important factors influencing WHC in pork meat.

  • 본 논문에서는 개입모형(intervention model)을 이용하여 한국의 입출국자 시계열 자료를 분석한다. 개입분석을 위하여 1997년 12월의 IMF 구제금융사건, 2003년의 3월의 SARS 발생, 그리고 2008년의 9월의 리먼브라더스 사태를 개입변수로 고려하였다. 그 결과, 한국의 총 입국자 수에는 SARS 개입변수만이 2003년 4월부터 영향을 미치기 시작하여 2003년 5월부터 급격하게 감소하는 영향을 미친 것으로 나타났다. 반면, 한국의 총 출국자 수에는 모든 3가지 개입의 효과가 유의하게 나타났으며 특히 IMF 개입변수는 1997년 12월부터 영구적인 영향을 미친 것으로 보이며 SARS 및 리먼브라더스 개입변수는 점차로 감소하는 영향을 미친 것으로 나타났다.

  • The empirical mode decomposition (EMD) method is well-known for its ability to decompose a multi-component signal into a set of intrinsic mode functions (IMFs). The method uses a sifting process in which local extrema of a signal are identified and followed by a spline fitting approximation for decomposition. This method provides an effective and robust approach for decomposing nonlinear and non-stationary signals. On the other hand, the IMF components do not automatically guarantee a well-defined physical meaning hence it is necessary to validate the IMF components carefully prior to any further processing and interpretation. In this paper, an attempt to use the EMD method to identify properties of nonlinear elastic multi-degree-of-freedom structures is explored. It is first shown that the IMF components of the displacement and velocity responses of a nonlinear elastic structure are numerically close to the nonlinear normal mode (NNM) responses obtained from two-dimensional invariant manifolds. The IMF components can then be used in the context of the NNM method to estimate the properties of the nonlinear elastic structure. A two-degree-of-freedom shear-beam building model is used as an example to illustrate the proposed technique. Numerical results show that combining the EMD and the NNM method provides a possible means for obtaining nonlinear properties in a structure.

  • This study is regards to merchandising in terms of paradigm shift on marketing and cost reduction. All research was done to trace the change of customer's purchasing trend taking examples through two of major women fashion brand, Katharine Hamnett and Cynthia Rowley since Korea has been in IMF controlling. The conclusion is as following; 1. After IMF controlling, young character casual and middle-low priced unisex mode have mainly been in '98 fashion trend. On item terms, cross coordination with reasonable prices was formed as main stream. 2. Shortened production lead-time made it possible to reduce its cost. Also new types of fashion business has been introduced to customers. 3. Speedy action are more emphasized through the benefits of simplified marketing channel and shortened payment terms. 4. It used to be a typical style to enjoy the high margin with an famous overseas brand paying license fee. Currently, the trend is extended to re-export to overseas for the licensed OEM goods.

  • This review addresses the characteristics and health benefit of highly marbled Wagyu and Hanwoo beef. Marbling of Wagyu and Hanwoo beef has been increased in Japan and Korea to meet domestic consumer preferences. Wagyu and Hanwoo cattle have high potential of accumulating intramuscular fat (IMF) and producing highly marbled beef. The IMF content varies depending on the feeding of time, finishing diet, and breed type. IMF increases when feeding time is increased. The rate of IMF increase in grain-fed cattle is faster than that in pasture-fed cattle. Fatty acid composition are also different depending on breeds. Highly marbled Wagyu and Hanwoo beef have higher proportions of monounsaturated fatty acid (MUFA) due to higher concentrations of oleic acid. MUFAs have little effect on total cholesterol. They are heart-healthy dietary fat because they can lower low-density lipoprotein (LDL)-cholesterol while increasing high-density lipoprotein (HDL)-cholesterol. Clinical trials have indicated that highly marbled beef does not increase LDL-cholesterol. This review also emphasizes that high oleic acid beef such as Wagyu and Hanwoo beef might be able to reduce risk factors for cardiovascular disease.

  • This study was to detect the expression of heart fatty acid-binding protein (H-FABP) and adipocyte fatty acid-binding protein (A-FABP) gene mRNA in different tissues of Rugao and Luyuan chickens at 56 d and 120 d by real-time fluorescence quantitative reverse transcription polymerase-chain reaction (FQ-RT-PCR). The primers were designed according to the sequences of HFABP, A-FABP and GAPDH genes in Gallus gallus, which were used as target genes and internal reference gene, respectively. The levels of H-FABP and A-FABP gene expression were detected by SYBR Green I FQ-RT-PCR. The relative H-FABP and A-FABP gene mRNA expression level was calculated with 2-$^{{\Delta}Ct}$. Melting curve analysis showed a single peak of three genes. Intramuscular fat (IMF) content in breast muscle and leg muscle of the two chicken breeds at 120 d was higher than at 56 d. IMF content in breast muscle and leg muscle at 56 d and 120 d in Luyuan was significantly higher than in Rugao, however, abdominal fat of Luyuan was significantly lower than that of Rugao. The relative H-FABP gene mRNA expression level in cardiac muscle was the highest in both chicken breeds. The relative H-FABP and A-FABP gene expression of different tissues in Luyuan was higher than in Rugao. H-FABP gene mRNA expression had a negative effect on IMF of leg and breast muscles, and was significantly negatively correlated with IMF content. The relative A-FABP gene mRNA level in abdominal fat was higher than in liver. The A-FABP gene mRNA was not expressed in leg, breast and cardiac muscles. A-FABP gene mRNA expression level was significantly positively correlated with abdominal fat and had a significant effect on abdominal fat but not IMF content.

  • We desperately recognize from the economic situation in IMF crisis that only competive goods and serviced. It is anticipated that this difficult situation will probably be continued till 1999. Therefore, it is necessary to think over real aspects of eating=outdoors in IMF period and to provide an opportunity to confront with this crisis. Analysis a recent tendency of domestic eating-outdoors business, there appears, first of all, dual types of eating-outdoors; the one is a sort of 'Cost Sale', which provides some special menu with lowest prices, and the other is a type of 'Family Restaurant', which regards the atmosphere of the place as one of the most essential elements. Both types are getting more popular today. As the result, neither of the alternative cannot recover the current Depression. It is natural that no other conditions can compete with good tastes, fancy atmosphere, and good prices. As a matter of fact, however, it is quite difficult to run this type of bussiness adjusted the above whole conditions. Therefore owners of eating-house must decide to run either ' Cost Sale' or 'Family Restaurant' first and investigate some problems and conditions accordingly. In ane way, the owner intensively visits to some eating houses which is similar style in size and management to that of his style in size and management to that of his and look over what is good and what is bad Right after this investigation, it is efficient for he or she to improve his or her business style in size and management in a short period. It is helpful to check some complements; improvement of signboards, cleaning up of the interior, selecting suitable menu, adjusted prices, tastes, and service quality etc. Although eating-outdoors business is hard hit by IMF, We hope that it would rapidly be brisk in 2000, becaused by that time the basis of each industry would be high qualified, and rich technology would be accumulated.

  • 2006년의 미국의 금융위기 및 현재 유럽의 재정위기로 인하여 세계경제는 침체의 위기에 서 있으며 저성장 고실업율의 문제를 해결하기 위하여 여러 가지 방법을 강구하고 있다. 따라서 경제성장에 원인이 되는 요인이 무엇인지에 대한 연구는 끊임없이 되어오고 있다. 이에 본 연구는 수출, 수입, 외국인 직접투자 및 해외직접투자 등이 경제성장에 미치는 영향과 변수들간 상호 어떠한 영향을 미칠 것인가에 대한 분석을 하는 것과 IMF를 전후로 하여 분석을 실시하여 국내경제의 변화가 실질적으로 변수들 간에 영향을 어떻게 미친 것인가에 대하여 알아보는 것에 그 목적이 있다고 할 수 있다. 따라서 위와 같은 연구를 바탕으로 아래와 같은 결론을 낼 수가 있었다. 1997년을 중심으로 변수들간의 인과관계에 대한 많은 변화가 있었다는 것이다. IMF기간이전에서는 보이지 않던 GDP와 해외직접투자 및 외국인 직접투자의 인과관계가 확인됨으로서, IMF 구제금융 이후 한국의 자본시장의 개방이 외국인직접투자 및 해외직접투자에 영향을 끼쳤음을 알 수가 있었다. 또한 외국인직접투자와 해외직접투자의 연관성 역시 한국의 자본시장 개방과 관련성으로 판단지어 볼 수가 있었다. 결론적으로 말해서, 수출입 등의 실물시장보다는 급증하고 있는 자본시장의 영향이 거시경제변수들간에 인과관계를 좀 더 잘 설명하고 있는 예가 아닐까 생각된다.
