The public sector extension services in which governments of less developed countries (LDCs) have invested large sums often at the behest of donors are achieving uneven impact, often at unsustainable high costs. Further, the fundamental premise of public sector extension - that low-income farmers are unlikely to obtain technical information unless it is provided by government - increasingly requires re-examination. This paper reviews the pressures facing conventional agricultural extension, examines the prospects of recent approaches that are participatory, institutionally pluralistic and geared towards cost-sharing, and suggests ways forward for governments.

This paper used the majority function to digitally filter back-electromotive force as an explanation of the Brushless DC MOTOR control algorithm. The cause and improvement of motor noise, which are operating in close proximity to high frequency sources, did not use conventional low pass filter and comparator elements. Also, they repeatedly output a noise-free BEMF signal for the input value of the majority detection filtering. These filtering steps can help reduce costs and minimize the area of a PCB by requiring relatively little hardware.

본 연구는 사회복지분야에서는 그다지 시도되지 않았던 원가분석 방법과 특성을 검토하고, 장애인복지관 20개소를 대상으로 실제 장애인복지관서비스의 원가분석 결과를 사례로 제시하여 사회복지서비스 원가분석에 대한 함의를 제공하는 것을 목적으로 한다. 본 연구는 2002년 12월 기준 전국 장애인복지관 95개소 중 20개소를 최종적으로 분석하였다. 분석목적을 위해 해당 복지관의 2002년 세입 세출결산서와 연간사업실적보고서를 사용하였으며, 분석대상 복지관 실무자를 대상으로 중요도, 난이도, 업무비중에 근거하여 서비스별 가중치 조사를 실시하여 반영하였다. 원가분석방법으로는 '활동기준원가분석'(activity-based costing)이 아닌 '전통적 원가분석방법'(traditional cost accounting)을 사용하였다. 분석결과 2002년 기준 장애인복지관의 세출평균은 12억 6천 여 만원이며 이 가운데 65.8%는 인건비로, 13.2%는 재활사업비로 집행된 것으로 파악되었다. 서비스원가사례로 재가복지생활지원서비스의 경우 60분 기준 26,922원으로 직업상담직능평가의 경우 120분 기준 143,355원으로 계산되었다. 이러한 원가에는 낮은 임금수준 및 부동산비용 등이 반영되지 않아 실제 시장가격은 훨씬 높을 것으로 추정된다. 분석 결과는 추후 서비스의 중단, 축소, 확대, 자원배분 등 프로그램과 관련한 의사결정에 더 유용하게 활용될 수 있을 것이다.

2차로도로는 우리나라 포장도로의 80% 이상을 차지하고 있기 때문에 2차로도로가 국내의 교통흐름에 있어서 차지하고 있는 비중은 매우 높다할 수 있다. 그러나 2차로도로는 진행방향당 한 차로만이 허용되어 있어 저속차량에 의해 지체가 발생할 경우 고속차량이 대향차로를 이용하여 추월해야 한다. 이러한 추월은 교통사고를 유발할 가능성이 매우 높으며 추월에 의한 사고는 중앙선 침범에 의한 정면 충돌사고를 일으킬 수 있으므로 사고의 심각도 또한 매우 높다할 수 있다. 그러나 2차로도로의 전반적인 운영상태 등을 나타내는 서비스수준에 대하여 현행 KHCM 에서는 '서비스수준이란 통행속도, 통행시간, 통행자유도, 안락감 그리고 교통안전 등 도로의 운행상태를 설명'하는 개념으로 정의하고 있지만 실제 서비스수준을 산정함에 있어서 서비스수준의 개념에 나타나 있는 바와는 달리 총지체율만을 이용하여 서비스수준을 산정하기 때문에 지체만을 고려하고 사고(교통안전)를 고려하지 않고 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 기존의 서비스수준 산정방법인 총지체율을 이용하여 지체시간을 산정하는 방법을 제시한 후, 여기에 지체비용을 곱하는 방식으로 총지체비용을 산출하는 방법을 제시하며 사고를 고려하기 위해 교통사고예측모형을 통하여 교통사고건수를 예측하고 여기에 평균교통사고비용을 곱하는 방식으로 총교통사고비용을 산출하는 방법을 제시한다. 마지막으로 앞에서 산출된 총지체비용과 총사고비용을 합산하여 운영비용을 산출함으로써 지체와 사고를 고려한 서비스수준의 새로운 판정척도를 개발하고 더불어 서비스수준을 제시하였다.

본 연구는 경남농산물 소득자료를 이용하여 시설 파프리카와 시설 딸기, 그리고 노지 마늘과 노지 시금치를 대상으로 경남지역 채소류 재배면적 반응함수를 추정하였다. 작물별 재배면적 반응함수 추정결과에 따르면 시설 파프리카의 경우 농업조수입이 증가한 영향보다는 농업경영비 감소와 가격변동 위험의 감소에 따라 재배면적이 증가한 것으로 나타났다. 시설 딸기의 경우 농업조수입이 증가했음에도 불구하고 농업경영비가 증가 하였고, 가격변동 위험이 상대적으로 더 컸기 때문에 재배면적이 감소하였다. 노지 마늘과 시금치의 경우 농업조수입이 증가하였음에도 불구하고 가격변동위험이 크기 때문에 농가는 재배면적을 늘리지 않은 것으로 밝혀졌다. 추정결과의 정책적 함의는 다음과 같다. 농산물 가격변동 위험은 시설 작물보다 노지에서 재배되는 작물의 경우 상대적으로 더 크다. 따라서 경상남도에서는 노지 작물에 우선하여 농업수입보장보험을 도입해야 할 것이다. 반면에 시설 작물의 경우 농업경영비 부담이 매우 크다. 따라서 지방정부는 난방비를 포함한 농업경영비를 줄이기 위하여 노후 시설을 교체하고 스마트팜 시설 확충 등에 주력해야 할 것이다.

Various processes which produce L-lactic acid using ammonia-tolerant mutant strain, Rhizopus sp. MK-96-1196, in a 3L airlift bioreactor were evaluated. When the fed-batch culture was carried out by keeping the glucose concentration at 30g/L, more than 140 g/L of L-lactic acid was produced with a product yield of 83%. In the case of the batch culture with 200g/L of initial glucose concentration, 121g/L of L-lactic acid was obtained but the low product yield based on the amount of glucose consumed. In the case of a continuous culture, 1.5g/L/h of the volumetric productivity with a product yield of 71% was achieved at dilution rate of $0.024\;h^{-1}$. Basis on these results three processes were evaluated by simple variable cost estimation including carbon source, steam, and waste treatment costs. The total variable costs of the fed-batch and continuous cultures were 88% and 140%, respectively, compared to that of batch culture. The fed-batch culture with high L-lactic acid concentration and high product yield decreased variable costs, and was the best-suited for the industrial production of L-lactic acid.

This study is a design study related to the application of 3D printer technology for garment printing. Knitting, which used to be a home industry in the early days, originally comes from hand-knitting. This evolved with various personal devices as a small job for the self-sufficiency of early European housewives. In addition, since the Industrial Revolution, mechanical production entered the mass production mass supply system, and various apparel products were provided to consumers in accordance with mass standardized dimensions. This is similar to the development process in Korea. In addition, it has formed a considerable market with the situation that it can produce and supply apparel products at low labor costs of first-generation Namdaemun and Dongdaemun merchants. As the production shifted to the Southeast Asian region due to the increase in labor costs in the domestically developed social situation, the production of garment products in Korea is now almost 5%. As a result, apparel-related production facilities and related companies are constantly moving to other countries to move production facilities sensitively due to rising labor costs. Recently, smart factory automation has been planned to explore new possibilities. In addition, in recent years, with the evolved appearance of consumers, the appropriate supply of the right amount of production has appeared, and the 3D printer applied to personal garment output has attracted considerable interest in the customized market. Therefore, in order to become a new hope and a small addition to various clothing workers, this study conducted related research on the following 3D printers for clothing output and attempted to proceed with a new design.

Economic decision models are being increasingly used to assess medical interventions. Advances in this field are mainly due to enhanced processing capacity of computers, availability of specific software to perform the necessary tasks, and refined mathematical techniques. We here estimated the incremental cost-effectiveness of ten strategies for colon cancer screening, as well as no screening, incorporating quality of life, noncompliance and data on the costs and profit of chemotherapy in Iran. We used a Markov model to measure the costs and quality-adjusted life expectancy of a 50-year-old average-risk Iranian without screening and with screening by each test. In this paper, we tested the model with data from the Ministry of Health and published literature. We considered costs from the perspective of a health insurance organization, with inflation to 2011, the Iranian Rial being converted into US dollars. We focused on three tests for the 10 strategies considered currently being used for population screening in some Iranians provinces (Kerman, Golestan Mazandaran, Ardabil, and Tehran): low-sensitivity guaiac fecal occult blood test, performed annually; fecal immunochemical test, performed annually; and colonoscopy, performed every 10 years. These strategies reduced the incidence of colorectal cancer by 39%, 60% and 76%, and mortality by 50%, 69% and 78%, respectively, compared with no screening. These approaches generated ICER (incremental cost-effectiveness ratios) of $9067, $654 and $8700 per QALY (quality-adjusted life year), respectively. Sensitivity analyses were conducted to assess the influence of various scales on the economic evaluation of screening. The results were sensitive to probabilistic sensitivity analysis. Colonoscopy every ten years yielded the greatest net health value. Screening for colon cancer is economical and cost-effective over conventional levels of WTP8.

Background: The appropriate interval between negative colonoscopy screenings is uncertain, but the numbers of advanced neoplasms 10 years after a negative result are generally low. We aimed to evaluate the cost-effectiveness of colorectal neoplasm screening and management based on repeat screening colonoscopy every 10 years or single colonoscopy, compared with no screening in the general population. Methods and materials: A state-transition Markov model simulated 100,000 individuals aged 50-80 years accepting repeat screening colonoscopy every 10 years or single colonoscopy, offered to every subject. Colorectal adenomas found during colonoscopy were removed by polypectomy, and the subjects were followed with surveillance every three years. For subjects with a normal result, colonoscopy was resumed within ten years in the repeat screening strategy. In single screening strategy, screening process was terminated. Direct costs such as screening tests, cancer treatment and costs of complications were included. Indirect costs were excluded from the model. The incremental cost-effectiveness ratio was used to evaluate the cost-effectiveness of the different screening strategies. Results: Assuming a first-time compliance rate of 90%, repeat screening colonoscopy and single colonoscopy can reduce the incidence of colorectal cancer by 65.8% and 67.2% respectively. The incremental cost-effectiveness ratio for single colonoscopy (49 Renminbi Yuan [RMB]) was much lower than that for repeat screening colonoscopy (474 RMB). Single colonoscopy was a more cost-effective strategy, which was not sensitive to the compliance rate of colonoscopy and the cost of advanced colorectal cancer. Conclusion: Single colonoscopy is suggested to be the more cost-effective strategy for screening and management of colorectal neoplasms and may be recommended in China clinical practice.

Migration studies that assume that decision making is done on an individual basis is overlooking the importance of the family factor. Considering that must people belong to families, it is more appropriate to view migration decision from the perspective of the family. This study analyzes the household migration decision whereby the alternatives are to stay, 10 undertake family migration or to undertake single migration of a member. In developing a conceptual model of household migration decision, it is assumed that the household's objective is to maximize household income which is a function of individual members' earnings. The benefits and costs of household migration and individual migration are identified and the household chooses the migration strategy that maximizes expected household income. When household members have conflicting earning prospects in the potential destination, the household considers single migration of the member with the best earning potentials. However, lone migration by a household member involves cost of family separation which is both monetary and psychic, and this study shows that lone migration is undertaken only when its net gains to the family are greater than the separation cost of the family. The major benefit of choosing single migration is the retention of home base in the place of origin which can serve as an insurance against the uncertainty of obtaining a job in the destination, the benefit that is unavailable in family migration. The conceptual analysis shows how a household's migration decision would depend on its members' economic roles and prospects in the destination. Besides the economic variables, social and life cycle variables of the family translate into separation costs and benefits of migration. This study indicates that one - earner family in low economic status but with good earning prospects and high separation costs is more likely to choose family migration over single migration.
