The aim of this study was to provide basic materials that would enable students who take courses in the subjects of technology and home economics to take the knowledge and technological skills they learn in the classroom and apply them to real life situations and to nurture their thinking power and creativity. To achieve these research objectives, a survey was conducted on 217 home economics teachers at 129 schools in the metropolitan area in order to assess their classroom operations and the adequacy of the curriculum regarding "clothes-making and reuse." The results showed that most of the schools surveyed have only one classroom for home economics and that a majority of them are cooking rooms. The most preferred place to practice making clothes was found to be the classroom. In addition, the use of teaching aids pertaining to clothes-making are lacking or in poor shape. Furthermore, analysis of the curriculum regarding "clothes-making and reuse" showed that most of the students use kits that contain materials for making clothes, due to a lack of practice hours. Most teachers thought that this section was appropriate for the school curriculum. In the more detailed categories, the students' ability to use sewing machines was the lowest, while the ability to sew by hand was selected as the most useful and most appropriate for real life situations.

배출권 가격의 변동성은 기업의 온실가스 감축투자를 위한 의사결정 수립 시에 중요한 요인으로 고려된다. 본 논문의 목적은 우리나라 특성 상 재무구조가 연결된 발전사의 입장에서 배출권 가격의 불확실성을 고려하여 온실가스 저감투자의 실물옵션 가치를 평가할 수 있는 방법론을 제시하는 데 있다. 이윤함수가 선형적으로 분리불가한 경우에는 고전적인 실물옵션 기법으로 적정 투자임계 가격을 도출하는 것이 불가능하기 때문에, 몬테카를로 최소자승법을 적용하여 투자임계 가격을 산출하는 알고리즘을 제시하였으며, 가스, 석유, 석탄의 주요 화력발전원의 수치를 이용하여 투자임계 가격을 시뮬레이션 분석하였다. 배출권 가격으로 표시된 투자임계 가격이 가스와 석유가 석탄에 비해 현저히 낮은 것으로 평가되어, 온실가스 감축투자 측면에서 이들 화석연료가 석탄에 비해 상대적으로 유리한 것으로 나타났다.

분산전원으로서의 장점을 지닌 연료전지는 높은 투자비용과 전력가격의 불확실성에 영향을 받는다. 본 논문에서는 연료전지 투자의 비가역성과 전력가격의 불확실성을 고려한 실물 옵션 모형을 제시하도록 한다. 대부분의 실물옵션 모형은 분석의 편의상 기하학적 브라운 과정을 가정하지만, 본 연구에서는 평균회귀적인 전력가격의 특성을 반영한 경제성 평가모형을 개발하되 투자옵션 가치의 닫힌 해 또한 제시하도록 한다. 20MW급 연료전지 발전을 위한 데이터와 국내 RPS 상황을 고려한 실증분석 결과, 가격 불확실성을 고려하지 않은 경우 연료전지 발전의 투자 경제성은 확보되지만, 가격 불확실성이 존재할 경우 경제성이 저감되는 것으로 나타났다. 이는 연료전지 발전시설의 도입 및 활성화를 위해서 수입과 비용을 포함하는 종합적인 수익구조 개선 외에도 정책적 지원이 추가적으로 필요함을 시사한다.

The purpose of this study was to find out problems which occured between clothes and motor ability traits of the hemiplegic aged. The samples were 32 hemiplegic aged men and were compared with 43 healthy aged men. Motor ability of the samples were measured by ROM test, muscle power test and finger function test(grip strength, hand's coordination, lateral pinch, 3pt. pinch). Design of the clothes consisted of 25 variables and the analysis of dressing and undressing motion consist of 10 motions of dressing and undressing dress shirts and 8 motions of trousers. The results were as follows: 1. There were significant relationship between ROM and muscle power and finger function of the hemiplegic aged(P<.001). 2. There were significant differences between the nomal side's finger function of the hemiplegic aged and that of the healthy group(P<.001). 3. The designs of clothes such as tutle neck line, long sleeve, button cuffs, fastening lace, open zipper and belt of trousers gave much difficulty to the hemiplegic when dressing and undressing. 4. The most difficult motion of dressing and undressing was fastening when dressing both dress shirts and trousers. 5. There were partly significant relationship between design of clothes and ROM, muscle power, finger function of hemiplegic aged man. 6. There were partly significant relationship between the degree of difficulty in dressing and undressing motions and ROM, muscle power, finger function of hemiplegic aged man.

발전부문의 부분적인 민영화 이후 전력의 도매가격은 한계가격(system marginal price)으로 결정되고, 이 가격은 발전사의 발전량에 의해서 달라지기 때문에 발전사 입장에서는 완전히 외생적으로 결정되는 가격이라 보기 어렵다. 본고는 Harrison(1994), Levinsohn(1993) 등이 개발한 시장의 완전경쟁성이 유지되지 않을 때에도 기업의 생산성 변화와 규모수익성, 마크업률 등을 분석할 수 있는 모형을 한국의 화력발전소 자료에 적용하였다. 분석결과 규모수익은 거의 없으며, 마크업률은 발전소의 사용 에너지 유형에 따라 크게 다른 것으로 나타났다. 아울러 완전경쟁시장을 가정하는 통상적인 분석법에 비해 발전소의 생산성 변화율 계측치도 상당한 정도 차이를 보였다.

In the later quarter of the twentieth century, the need for foreign capital is realized among the various countries of the world. Developing countries especially developed multi-pronged strategies to attract foreign capital into the country. One such strategy is the adoption of liberalization policy. Almost all the developing countries started opening their economy, out of the compulsion, to achieve faster rate of economic growth and development. Even a communist country like China adopted liberalization policy as a strategy for accelerated economic growth during 1979. India also joined the race by 1991, when the government announced the policy of liberalization. The importance of FDI extends beyond the financial capital that flows into the country. The huge size of the market in this sector and high returns on investment are two important factors in boosting FDI inflows to power sector. 100 percent FDI is allowed under automatic route in almost all the sub sectors of power sector except the atomic energy. Major foreign investment is made in this sector during 2000 to 2009 is Mauritius with an investment of US$ 4490.96 i.e., 4.24 percent of the total FDI inflows into the country during the period. The estimation of future FDI flow shows a marginal decline in the year 2010. Then from 2011 to 2015 onwards upward trend of FDI was observed.

This study measured the amount of electricity consumed by the vending machines installed on campus and aim to come up with measures to address excessive consumption of electricity. We chose 10 universities located in the city of Seoul and Gyeonggi province and measured electricity consumption of 10 vending machines installed in each university. We then calculated annual electricity consumption of the machines based on previously calculated electricity consumption of 100 samples. According to the result of the calculation, it is estimated that the machines studied on consume 700 KWh a year. This amount could translate into approximately 3,000 tons of annual carbon emissions and 640 million KRW in annual electricity bills. It was also found that there is a significant difference between ordinary vending machines and machines certified for being eco-friendly and energy efficient, in terms of electric power consumption. It is expected that, if the ordinary machines are replaced with the eco-friendly and high-efficient machines, 640 KWh of electricity, 300 kg of carbon, and 61,640 KRW in electricity bills would be saved, which means 28% saving in energy, emissions and bills. In conclusion, we determined that, as one of the ways to reduce electric power consumption and carbon emissions, old vending machines on campus could be replaced with eco-friendly and high-efficient machines.

Rapid economic growth in recent years has caused a surge in energy consumption among Southeast Asian countries and laid a considerable burden on the already inadequate power infrastructure. As a result, frequent blackouts and prolonged outages have become common and weakened firm productive performance in those years. The main objective of this study is to examine the impact of power infrastructure quality on the performance of Southeast Asian manufacturing firms. In this study, the World Bank Enterprise Surveys was employed as the training dataset of 4723 manufacturing firms in the period of 2015-2016. The results of this study reveal that industrial firms that suffered from power outages had consistently lower productivity. As measured by the length of such events, more severe outages tend to be more harmful to the firm. Furthermore, the findings also indicated that most firms relied on self-generated electricity to reduce the negative impact of power outages, but this does not bring many benefits when operating at a small scale in some countries. Consequently, this study contributes to a growing literature that examines the economic impact of public infrastructure and how detrimental the poor state of such services is to a firm's downstream operations, productivity, and growth.

Purpose -The purpose of this paper is to advance the understanding of affective commitment in employees of Korean companies' subsidiaries in Mexico. Specifically, we study the moderating effects of cultural orientation on the relationship between perceived corporate social responsibility (CSR) and affective commitment among these Mexican employees. Research design and methodology - This study was designed to explore the impact of perceived CSR on affective commitment and the moderating roles of collectivism and power distance on the employer-employee relationship. We applied hierarchical regression to survey data collected from 296 employees working for Korean company subsidiaries in Mexico to examine the proposed hypotheses. Results - The results show a significant positive effect from perceived CSR on affective commitment. In addition, this study confirms a positive moderating effect from collectivism and a negative moderating impact from power distance on the relationship between perceived CSR and affective commitment. Conclusions - Drawing upon social identity theory, this study found that Mexican employees' perceptions of their company's CSR and their own cultural value orientations influence affective commitment to the organization. This study extends the understanding of perceived CSR and affective commitment, and particularly demonstrates that the relationship between perceived CSR and affective commitment is influenced by employee collectivistic and power distance orientation.
