In the more than 100 genome wide association studies (GWAS) conducted in the past 5 years, more than 250 genetic loci contributing to more than 40 common diseases and traits have been identified. Whilst many genes have been linked to a trait, both their individual and combined effects are small and unable to explain earlier estimates of heritability. Given the rapid changes in disease incidence that cannot be accounted for by changes in diagnostic practises, there is need to have well characterized exposure information in addition to genomic data for the study of gene-environment interactions. The case-control and cohort study designs are most suited for studying associations between risk factors and occurrence of an outcome. However, the case control study design is subject to several biases and hence the preferred choice of the prospective cohort study design in investigating geneenvironment interactions. A major limitation of utilising the prospective cohort study design is the long duration of follow-up of participants to accumulate adequate outcome data. The GWAS paradigm is a timely reminder for traditional epidemiologists who often perform one- or few-at-a-time hypothesis-testing studies with the main hallmarks of GWAS being the agnostic approach and the massive dataset derived through large-scale international collaborations.

This study investigates the social network among authors to improve the quality of Panel researches. Korea Health Panel (KHP), implemented by the collaborative work between KIHASA (Korea Institute for Health and Social Affairs) and NHIC (National Health Insurance Service) since 2008, provides a critical infrastructure for policy making and management for insurance system and healthcare service. Using bibliographic data extracted from academic databases, eighty articles were extracted in domestic and international journals from 2008 to 2014, April. Data were analyzed by NetMiner 4.0, social network analysis software, to identify the extent to which authors are involved in healthcare use research and the patterns of collaboration between them. Analysis reveals that most authors publish a very small number of articles and collaborate within tightly knit circles. Centrality measures confirm these findings by revealing that only a small percentage of the authors are structurally dominant, and influence the flow of communication among others. It leads to the discovery of dependencies between the elements of the co-author network such as affiliates in health panel communities. Based on these findings, we recommend that Korea Health Panel could benefit from cultivating a wider base of influential authors and promoting broader collaborations.

This study investigates the productivity of Indonesian social scientists during the COVID-19 pandemic, with a particular concentration on their contributions to COVID-19 prevention and management. By categorizing social science research according to themes such as authors' gender, authors' institution of origin, forms of collaboration, and journal quality, this study examines the patterns and factors that influence research output. Using information from the Scopus database, 1,071 journal articles were analyzed in total. The findings indicate that collaborations with foreign researchers considerably improve productivity and publication quality, with Malaysian and Australian institutions serving as the most active partners. Nevertheless, there are gender disparities, as female authors write and are cited less frequently than male authors. The study stresses the importance of increasing international collaboration among Indonesian authors and implementing affirmative action policies to support and empower female researchers. This study contributes to the existing body of knowledge by providing policymakers, funding agencies, and academic institutions with recommendations for fostering a more inclusive and influential research environment in Indonesia.

This paper summarizes some of approaches that could be taken for data exchange in a non-interoperable work environment and reports lessons learned from the Dongdaemun Design Plaza and Park project. Today's widespread application of building information modeling (BIM) to the construction and architectural design industries requires a change in the cooperation between business organizations and their methods of communication. In particular, the interoperability of information between interdisciplinary organizations, which use specific programs for different purposes, has become a critical issue. More than just a technical problem, it is also highly related to an organization's collaboration culture and the particulars of a specific project. This paper describes the interoperability issue that occurred during the construction documentation phase of the irregularly shaped building project, Dongdaemun Design Plaza and Park, designed by Zaha Hadid Architects and Samoo Architects and Engineers, from the perspective of the technological problem and the collaborative organizations' communications. Although the perfect compatibility of information is not possible, this paper deals with a practical approach to the interoperability issue by examining the way the end-users of computer-aided design (CAD) resolved the interoperability problems in practice.

For the first time in Korea, we are developing technology for gravitational wave (GW) detectors as a major R&D program. Our main research target is quantum noise reduction technology which can enhance the sensitivity of a GW detector beyond its limit by classical physics. Technology of generating squeezed vacuum state of light (SQZ) can suppress quantum noise (shot noise at higher frequencies and radiation pressure noise at lower frequencies) of laser interferometer type GW detectors. Squeezing technology has recently started being used for GW detectors and becoming necessary and key components. Our ultimate goal is to participate and make contribution to international collaborations for upgrade of existing GW detectors and construction of next generation GW detectors. This presentation will summarize our results in 2020 and plan for the upcoming years. Technical details will be presented in other family talks.

This study is to investigate the relationships between R&D collaboration and competitive advantage in Korean international venture firms from the perspective of resource-based theory, organizational learning and network theory. The R&D collaboration is divided into vertical cooperation within the value chain and horizontal cooperation beyond value chain. The first key finding from empirical analysis is that both vertical and horizontal R&D collaborations have significantly positive impacts on technology based competitive advantages. The vertical R&D collaboration has more impacts on competitive advantages than horizontal R&D collaboration. This suggests that R&D collaboration with purchasers and suppliers plays a greater role for venture organizations' competitiveness. Second, the potential knowledge based absorption capacity and mutual goodwill trust also work significantly to reinforce the positive influences of R&D collaboration to the competitive advantage. This implies that mutual trust between partners participating in collaboration and absorption capacity within venture organizations would strengthen the effectiveness of R&D cooperation. This study provides the practical implications that the performance and effectiveness of R&D collaboration may rely on the nature of cooperation partners and internal organization capability.

Objectives: Schizophrenia is an organic disease and a severe mental disorder with a relatively high risk of relapse. The rising rate of schizophrenia relapse has motivated researchers and academics to innovate and develop interventions aimed at relapse prevention. This bibliometric study sought to examine the publication trends in schizophrenia relapse prevention from 1973 to 2023, assess the contribution of international collaborations across various journals, identify the most influential authors and articles, and forecast future developments in this field. Methods: The study included 683 articles obtained from the Scopus database, analyzed using VOSviewer software, and visualized with Tableau. Results: Reports of schizophrenia relapse prevention strategies have increased significantly over the last 3 decades. However, fluctuations persist, as evidenced by the annual number of publications ranging from 25 to 40 within the past 5 years. Nevertheless, this increasing trend underscores the sustained interest in this area of research. Regarding contribution size, the United States produced the largest volume of publications on this subject. John M. Kane authored the most articles, while Stefan Leucht exhibited the highest h-index. Frequently used keywords in this field include "relapse AND schizophrenia" AND "prevention." Conclusions: These results represent an important reference for determining the current state of research on schizophrenia relapse prevention and future research directions.

현대사회는 산업화사회와 정보화사회를 거쳐 문화중심사회로 이동하며 전통적인 체계가 해체되고 새로운 통념의 융합으로 탈경계화를 가속하며 확장돼 가고 있다. 문화콘텐츠 산업을 선도하고 있는 게임에서도 다양한 유형의 문화융합이 이뤄지고 있다. 특히 게임에서의 콜라보레이션(collaboration)은 부족한 콘텐츠를 대체하고 다른 게임과의 차별성을 가질 수 있다는 점에서 유용한 마케팅 수단으로 인식되며 다양한 형태로 활용되고 있다. 본 연구는 모바일 게임에서 활용되고 있는, 문화융합의 한 유형인 콜라보레이션 사례 조사를 통해 그 유형을 탐구하고, 나아가 이를 바탕으로 모바일 게임에서 활용되고 있는 콜라보레이션의 특성을 파악해 보는 것을 목적으로 한다. 이를 위해 2010년부터 2014년 기간 동안 국내외 모바일 게임에 활용된, 대표적 콜라보레이션 게임 사례를 대상으로 탐구하였는데 모바일 게임에서의 콜라보레이션은 아티스트와의 콜라보레이션, 캐릭터를 활용한 콜라보레이션, 상품과의 콜라보레이션과 같은 세 가지 유형으로 진행되고 있는 것을 확인하였다. 그리고 이 세 가지 유형 중에 캐릭터를 활용한 콜라보레이션 종류가 가장 많은 것을 알 수 있었는데 이들은 게임 간의 캐릭터 활용, 애니메이션의 캐릭터 활용, 만화 웹툰의 캐릭터 활용, 스타 활용, 위인 활용과 같은 다섯 가지 유형으로 추진되고 있었다. 그리고 이들 사례 탐구를 통해 모바일 게임에서의 콜라보레이션은 다음과 같은 다섯 가지 특성을 가지고 있다고 밝혔다. (1) 컨버전스형 융합으로 이종업종 간 콜라보레이션 사례가 많다. (2) 캐릭터를 활용한 콜라보레이션이 가장 활성화되어 있다. (3) 콜라보레이션에 사용된 콘텐츠의 소비 주 연령층이 게임의 주 타깃 연령층과 같다. (4) 인지도가 높은 요소를 채택해 콜라보레이션 하고 있다. (5) 게임의 위상과 파급력이 증가하였다. 본 연구는 모바일 게임 산업에서 문화융합의 한 유형인 콜라보레이션의 활용 방안을 수립하는 데 기여하는 한편, 관련 연구와 이론적 지평을 확대한다는 점에서 산업적으로나 학술적으로 중요한 의미를 가진다.
