세계금융위기의 근본적인 원인은 시장과 제도의 괴리에서 나오는 '제도의 실패'라고 할 수 있다. 특히 현재의 국제통화제도는 무제도(non-system)나 다름없다고 할 수 있다. 현재 당면하고 있는 국제통화제도의 문제점들을 볼 때 개편 방향의 핵심은 (1) 수요 측면에서는 과대한 외환보유고를 축적하려는 인센티브를 어떻게 줄일 수 있을 것인가 하는 것이며, (2) 공급 측면에서는 현재 미국 달러화에 주로 의존하고 있는 제도를 탈피, 보다 다양한 국제통화 혹은 대체적 외화준비자산(SDR을 포함하여)으로 전환해 나가거나 혹은 보다 근본적인 개혁방안으로서 새로운 세계통화(global reserve currency)를 창출하는 것이다. 그리고 (3) 이러한 변화를 뒷받침 하기 위해 필요한 기구적 개편, 특히 IMF의 개혁을 추진하는 것이다. 이러한 개편은 현실적 국제역학관계로 볼 때 오직 점진적으로 일어날 수 있는 것이다. 따라서 현재 세계경제의 안정적 성장을 위해 중요한 것은 이러한 개편을 점진적으로 추진함과 동시에 주요국 간의 거시경제정책공조를 이뤄 나가는 것이다. 이러한 과정을 원활히 해나가기 위해서는 효율적인 세계경제 지배구조를 갖추는 것이 필수적이다. 세계금융위기 이후 출범한 G20 정상회의가 효율적인 협의체가 되기 위해서는 의사결정이 원활히 이루어질 수 있는 방안과 장치를 세워나갈 필요가 있다. 사무국(secretariat) 혹은 그와 유사한 기능을 행사할 수 있는 조직의 설립과 위원회제도 같은 것을 활용할 필요가 있을 것으로 보인다.

This study examines the impact of the urban parameterization scheme and the land cover change on simulated near surface temperature using Unified Model (UM) over the Seoul metropolitan area. We perform four simulations by varying the land cover and the urban parameterization scheme, and then compare the model results with 46 AWS observation data from 2 to 9 August 2016. Four simulations were performed with different combination of two urban parameterization schemes and two land cover data. Two schemes are Best scheme and MORUSES (Met Office Reading Urban Surface Exchange Scheme) and two land cover data are IGBP (International Geosphere and Biosphere Programme) and EGIS (Environmental Geographic information service) land cover data. When land use data change from IGBP to EGIS, urban ratio over the study area increased by 15.9%. The results of the study showed that the higher change in urban fraction between IGBP and EGIS, the higher the improvement in temperature performance, and the higher the urban fraction, the higher the effect of improving temperature performance of the urban parameterization scheme. 1.5-m temperature increased rapidly during the early morning due to increase of sensible heat flux in EXP2 compared to CTL. The MORUSES with EGIS (EXP3) provided best agreement with observations and represents a reasonable option for simulating the near surface temperature of urban area.

Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cells (PEMFC) are the most appropriate for energy source of small robot applications. PEMFC has superior in power density and thermodynamic efficiency as compared with the Direct Methaol Fuel Cell (DMFC). Furthermore, PEMFC has lighter weight and smaller size than DMFC which are very important factors as small robot power system. The most significant factor of mobile robots is weight which relates closely with energy consumption and robot operation. This research tried to find optimum specifications in terms of type, number of cell, active area, cooling method, weight, and size. In order to find optimum 500W PEMFC, six options are designed in this paper and studied to reduce total stack weight by applying new materials and design innovations. However, still remaining problems are thermal management, robot space for energy sources, and soon. For a thermal management, design options need to analysis of Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) for determining which option has the improved performance and durability.

Objectives: This study was conducted to evaluate the emission of VOCs from clothing that had been dry cleaned. Methods: In order to ensure the same conditions, f100% wool scarves were selected as the fabric type. Four identical tests were conducted on the option of either removing the plastic bags which came from the dry cleaning shop or not. The scarf was located inside a closet or room for one or two days. Small chamber tests were conducted to determine the VOC emission characteristics under the same conditions such as temperature, humidity, loading factor, and air exchange rates. Air from the chamber for VOCs was sampled by Tenax TA tube and analyzed by thermal desorption and GC/MSD. Results: Assuming that test represented dry cleaning and consumer's conditions well enough, we can conclude that immediate emissions after the dry cleaning of the scarfs caused elevated levels of TVOC, five VOCs (benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, xylene, stylene), and decane group compounds. Conclusions: By removing the plastic bags which came from the dry cleaning shop or not, the storage conditions of dry cleaned scarfs by consumers during the storage time periods (one to three days) would be significant for reducing VOC emissions.

Energy is a major component of almost all economic, production, and service activities, and rapid population growth, urbanization and industrialization have led to ever growing demand for energy. Limited energy resources and increasingly evident environmental effects of fossil fuel consumption has led to a growing awareness about the importance of further use of renewable energy sources in the countries energy portfolio. Renewable hydrogen production is a convenient method for storage of unstable renewable energy sources such as wind and solar energy for use in other place or time. In this study, suitability of 25 cities located in Iran's western region for renewable hydrogen production are evaluated by multi-criteria decision making techniques including TOPSIS, VIKOR, ELECTRE, SAW, Fuzzy TOPSIS, and also hybrid ranking techniques. The choice of suitable location for the centralized renewable hydrogen production is associated with various technical, economic, social, geographic, and political criteria. This paper describes the criteria affecting the hydrogen production potential in the study region. Determined criteria are weighted with Shannon entropy method, and Angstrom model and wind power model are used to estimate respectively the solar and wind energy production potential in each city and each month. Assuming the use of proton exchange membrane electrolyzer for hydrogen production, the renewable hydrogen production potential of each city is then estimated based on the obtained wind and solar energy generation potentials. The rankings obtained with MCDMs show that Kermanshah is the best option for renewable hydrogen production, and evaluation of renewable hydrogen production capacities show that Gilangharb has the highest capacity among the studied cities.

Objective: To evaluate the role of percutaneous pancreatic stent placement in postoperative pancreaticojejunostomy stenosis (PJS). Materials and Methods: This retrospective single-center study included seven procedures in five patients (four males and one female; median age, 63 years) who underwent percutaneous pancreatic stent placement for postoperative PJS between January 2005 and December 2021. The patients were referred to interventional radiology because of unfavorable anatomy or bowel abnormalities. The pancreatic duct was accessed under ultrasound and/or computed tomography guidance. A stent was placed after balloon dilatation of the PJS. Moreover, plastic stents were placed for the first two procedures, whereas bare-metal stents were used for the remaining five procedures. Technical success was defined as the successful placement of stents for the PJS, meanwhile, clinical success was defined as the normalization of pancreatic enzymes without recurrence of pancreatitis. Results: Pancreatic duct access and stent placement were successfully performed in all patients (technical success rate: 100%). All the procedures initially yielded clinical success. However, recurrence of pancreatitis was observed after two procedures that used plastic stents because of stent migration at 0.3 and 3 months after the procedure. In contrast, no instances of recurrent pancreatitis were noted after metal stent placement for a follow-up duration of 1-36 months. No serious procedure-related adverse events were observed. Conclusion: Percutaneous pancreatic stent placement may be a viable option for patients with postoperative PJS in whom an endoscopic approach is not feasible. Metal stents may be considered over plastic stents for the management of PJS, considering the possible lower stent migration and infeasibility of frequent endoscopic stent exchange due to the altered anatomy.

변동성지수는 옵션가격에 내재된 미래 기초자산의 변동성을 나타내는 지수이며, 투자자들이 예상하는 향후 주가 변동 가능성을 측정한 시장의 기댓값이다. 현재 한국거래소(KRX)에서 한국시장구조에 맞는 변동성지수를 개발하여 2009년 4월 13일부터 변동성지수(VKOSPI)를 발표하고 있다. 본 연구는 2002년부터 2008년까지 일별 데이터를 이용하여 기업규모, 시장기치 대 장부가치 비율 및 베타의 특징들로 그룹화된 포트폴리오의 미래 수익률에 대한 변동성지수의 예측력을 검증하였다. 그 결과 VKOSPI의 변화율은 미래수익률에 대해 강한 음(-)의 예측력을 갖고 있는 것으로 나타났으며, 이러한 결과는 Ang et al.[2]의 결과와 일치하고, 이는 VKOSPI가 수익률 결정요인이라 할 수 있다. 시장총변동성 추정치의 부호에 대해 Ang et al.은 시장 총변동성위험과 개별주식 수익률간의 음(-)의 관계로 설명하였다. 이는 시장 총변동성위험이 높아질 때, 시장변동성과 상관관계가 높은 주식은 시장위험에 대한 주식의 민감도, 즉 베타가 낮아져 개별주식 수익률이 하락한다는 것이다. 또한 포트폴리오를 그룹화하는데 베타가 포함되어진다면, 미래 수익률에 대한 VKOSPI의 예측력이 강하다는 것으로 나타났다.

본 연구는 스톡옵션 부여에 관한 조직구성원의 인식이 보상 공정성, 보상만족, 그리고 조직몰입 및 이직의도와 어떠한 관계를 보이는 지를 조사하였다. 스톡옵션 부여에 관한 조직구성원의 인식은 주로 스톡옵션의 부여주식수와 부여인원수에 대해 느끼는 개인적 지각에 기초하였다. 그리고 구성원이 인식한 스톡옵션의 부여주식수와 부여인원 수에 따라 해당 구성원의 공정성 지각과 직무태도, 이직의도에 차이가 있을 것이라고 예측하였다. 이 점에서 본 연구는 스톡옵션의 부여인식에 따라 구성원의 태도에 어떤 효과를 동반하는 지를 살펴보는 탐색적 연구이다. 실증분석을 위하여 국내 상장기업, 협회등록법인, 국내 외국기업의 종업원을 편의추출 표본방식으로 조사하였다. 조사는 총 10개 기업에 150부의 설문지를 배포하여 115부를 회수하였고, 이중 중심화 경향이 두드러진 설문지를 제거한 후 113부의 응답자료를 최종분석에 활용하였다. 연구의 실증분석 결과에 의하면 첫째, 스톡옵션 수혜자가 자신의 스톡옵션 부여주식 수가 많다고 인식하는 경우 지각된 분배공정성은 함께 증가하는 관계성을 보이고 있었다. 특히, 조직내 스톡옵션 부여인원수가 적은 상태에서 부여주식 수가 증가하면 스톡옵션의 수혜자는 분배공정성을 가장 높게 지각하였다. 둘째, 조직 내 스톡옵션의 부여인원 수가 증가한다는 지각은 보상에 대한 절차공정성을 높이는 방향으로 작용하였다. 특히, 스톡옵션의 부여인원수는 많지만 부여주식수는 적은 경우에는 절차공정성이 가장 높게 나타나고 있었다. 셋째, 스톡옵션의 부여에 대한 지각에 따라 조직몰입이나 보상만족, 그리고 이직의도에는 유의미한 차이가 발견되지 않았다. 연구의 결과를 해석해 볼 때 스톡옵션제는 구성원의 공정성에 유의미한 차이를 발생하고 있었으나 아직 이러한 지각의 차이가 조직몰입이나 이직의도, 보상만족으로 연결되는 효과를 나타내고 있지는 않았다. 이는 스톡옵션제의 도입이 국내기업에 비교적 최근에 이루어져서 아직 제도적인 정착이 불완전한 점과 외환위기 이후 주식시장의 상황이 기업외적 요인에 따라 영향을 받았던 점에서 그 이유를 추론할 수 있을 것이다.

Neonatal hemochromatosis (NH) is a severe neonatal liver injury that is confirmed by extra-hepatic iron accumulation. Although a recent study described treating NH with exchange transfusions and intravenous immunoglobulin, liver transplantation should be considered for patients with severe liver failure that does not respond to other medical treatment. Herein, we report the case of a two-month-old female infant who presented with persistent ascites and hyperbilirubinemia. Her laboratory findings demonstrated severe coagulopathy, high indirect and direct bilirubin levels, and high ferritin levels. Abdominal magnetic resonance imaging presented low signal intensity in the liver on T2-weighted images, suggesting iron deposition. The infant was diagnosed with NH as a result of the clinical findings and after congenital infection and metabolic diseases were excluded. The infant was successfully treated with a living-donor liver transplantation. Living related liver transplantation should be considered as a treatment option for NH in infants.
