A stockperson has a significant influence on the productivity and welfare of his animals depending on his stockmanship competence. In this study, stockmanship competence (SC) is defined as the capacity of the stockperson to ensure the welfare of his animals by providing his animals' needs. The study was conducted to evaluate the SC of backyard goat raisers and examine its relationship to goat productivity and economic profitability. There were 101 respondents for this study who have all undertaken farmer livestock school on integrated goat management (FLS-IGM). Interview was conducted in Region I, Philippines on September 3 to 30, 2012 and March 4 to 17, 2013. Data on SC, goat productivity and farmer's income were gathered. Questions regarding SC were formulated based on the Philippine Recommendations for Goat Production and from other scientific literature. Housing, feeding, breeding and health and husbandry management were the indicators used in computing stockmanship competence index score (SCIS). Pearson correlation using Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS) was carried out to analyse the relationship between SCIS, productivity and income. Based from the results of the study, a majority of the respondents raised native and upgraded goats. The computed mean SCIS before and after undergoing FLS-IGM were 38.52% and 75.81% respectively, a percentage difference of 65.23%. Both index scores resulted in significant differences in productivity and income. The median mature weight and mortality rate of goats before FLS-IGM was 14 kg and 30% respectively. After FLS-IGM, median mature weight was 19 kg and mortality rate decreased from 30% to 11.11%. Likewise, fewer goat diseases were observed by farmers who were able to undergo FLS-IGM. With regard to income, there was a 127.34% difference on the median net income derived by farmers. Result implies that improved SC could lead not only to increased productivity and income of backyard goat raisers but also to better animal welfare.

본 연구에서는 국적외항선사를 대상으로 DEA에 의한 Malmquist 생산성지수를 측정하여 주요 재무비율(수익성, 재무안정성, 유동성, 효율성, 생산성 간에 영향 관계와 판별력을 규명하여 생산성을 개선할 방안을 제시하였다. 2017년에 비하여 2018년에 생산성(MPI)이 증대한 선사보다 감소한 선사가 11개 많다. 생산성 감소는 주로 내부환경의 영향을 받는 기술적 효율성 변화지수(TECI)의 감소가 주요인이며, 생산성이 증대된 선사는 외부환경의 영향을 받는 기술변화지수(TCI)의 증대로 나타나고 있다. 또한 생산성(MPI)과 경영효율성(CRS) 간의 강한 유의적인 상관관계를 보인다. 선사 내부요인에 의한 기술적 효율성변화지수(TEC)는 효율적인 선사가 유의적으로 높은데 순수효율성 변화가 아니고 규모효율성변화의 차이에 기인한다. 용선비/매출 비율은 생산성이 높은 선사(0.17)가 낮은 선사(0.21)에 비하여 낮고, 매출액영업이익률은 MPI>1인 선사는 7%인데 MPI<1인 선사는 1%에 불과하여 용선비 규모와 영업수익성은 생산성과 밀접한 관련이 있는 것으로 판명된다. 따라서 외항선사는 용선비중을 줄이고 내부적인 경영효율 개선을 통한 규모 효율과 생산성을 증대시켜야만 채산성을 높일 수 있는 것으로 확인하였다.

Insulin-like Growth Factors (IGFs) and IGF-binding protein act as intra-ovarian regulators that modulate the proliferation and differentiation of the granulosa and theca cells. Moreover, the IGF system is involved in metabolism by modulating the synthesis and degradation of glycogen and protein in animals. However the effect of the IGF system on egg productivity or body growth in KNOC has not been studied in depth. Therefore, this study was performed to investigate differences of serum IGFs and binding protein expressions between two groups showing high and low egg production or body weight and to elucidate the relationship of IGFs with egg productivity and body growth. KNOCs were divided into high and low groups depending on their egg productivity or body growth, and sera were collected every 10 wk from 20 till 60 wk. Serum IGF-I and -II concentration were measured by RIA using human and mouse antiserum and chicken standards. IGFBP was detected by Western ligand blotting. IGF-I concentrations were significantly greater in the high egg production group compared with those in the low egg production group (30 wk, p<0.01; 20 and 40 wk, p<0.05). Also, differences in IGF-II amounts between the two groups were detected at 60 wk (p<0.05). But IGFBPs in the low egg production group were more intense than that in the high egg production group through the egg laying period. The correlation between IGF-I concentration and number of egg production is significantly positive (20 wk, r=0.2729: p<0.05; 40 wk, r=0.3500: p<0.01), while IGF-II shows no correlation with egg productivity. In male KNOC, IGF-I and -II concentrations in the high body weight group are lower than that in the low body weight group. Body weight also shows a negative correlation with the serum IGF-II concentration in male chickens (20 wk, r=-0.5901: p<0.01). Consequently, we suggest that IGFs and binding protein are (in)directly involved in the egg productivity and body growth in KNOC.

본 연구는 광역의회의 제도화 수준이 의회의 입법생산성에 미치는 영향을 분석한다. 의회제도화 이론에 근거하여 광역의회의 제도화 수준을 측정하는 3가지 독립변수(안정성·복잡성·적응성)를 선정하고 그를 대리측정할 수 있는 9가지 하위 분석지표(초선의원 비율·의장의 평균선수·의장의 수·본회의 개회일수·특별위원회 수·의회사무처 직원 정원·전문위원 수·의회 실제대수·의원 1인당 유권자 수)를 설정하였다. 또한 입법 과정 중, 발의의 중요성에 집중하여 투입 측면의 입법생산성에 초점을 두고 종속변수를 설정하였다. 이를 위하여 의회의 절대적인 입법생산성을 측정하는 의회 조례안 발의건수, 행정부에 대한 의회의 상대적인 입법생산성을 측정하는 의회 조례안 발의율, 의회 규모를 통제한 상태에서 입법생산성을 살펴볼 수 있는 의원 1인당 조례안 발의건수라는 세 가지 차원의 변수를 설정하여 다차원적으로 입법생산성을 측정함으로써 광역의회의 입법생산성을 보다 면밀하고 보수적으로 측정할 수 있도록 하였다. 광역의회의 제도화 수준이 입법생산성에 미치는 영향을 분석한 주요 결과는 다음과 같이 나타났다. 첫째, 초선의원 비율과 의장의 평균선수의 증가는 의회 조례안 발의건수에 부정적인 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타난 반면, 나머지 지표들의 증가는 모두 의회 조례안 발의건수를 증가시키는 것으로 나타났다. 둘째, 의회 조례안 발의율의 결정 요인은 의장의 평균선수, 특별위원회 수, 전문위원 수, 의회 실제대수, 의원 1인당 유권자 수로 나타났다. 의장의 평균선수를 제외하고 모두 의회 조례안 발의율 증가에 긍정적인 영향을 미치는 것으로 확인되었다. 셋째, 의장의 평균선수가 증가하면 의원 1인당 조례안 발의건수가 감소하고, 의회의 대수가 높아지고 의원 1인당 유권자 수가 많아질수록 의원 1인당 조례안 발의건수가 증가하는 것으로 확인되었다. 다른 조건과 함께 살펴보았을 때 상대적으로 입법생산성이 저조한 광역의회가 있다면 본 연구의 다양한 분석 결과를 통해 어떠한 정책적 고려가 필요한지, 개선 방안을 모색해 볼 수 있을 것이다.

본 연구는 2006년 부산광역시 선도기업을 대상으로 하여 교육훈련비가 기업의 노동생산성에 어떠한 영향을 미치고 있는지에 대해 1999~2008년의 기업자료를 사용하여 고정효과모형 및 2SLS방법에 의해 실증분석한 논문이다. 1인당 교육훈련비로 측정한 교육훈련은 통계적으로 유의한 수준에서 기업의 노동생산성에 양(+)의 영향을 미치고 있는 것으로 나타났다. 교육훈련의 효과성은 모든 기업에 동일하게 나타난다고 하기 보다는 기업특성에 따라 그 효과성에 차이가 존재할 개연성이 크므로 기업특성(기업규모, 산업분류)에 따른 차이를 분석한 결과, 대기업과 중소기업으로 구분한 기업규모는 통계적으로 유의한 차이를 발견하지 못하였다. 반면에 산업분류와 관련한 분석에서는 서비스산업의 교육훈련 효과성이 통계적으로 유의한 수준에서 타 산업에 비해 낮은 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 결과는 서비스산업에서의 교육훈련 프로그램의 보완이 시급하며 정책적인 지원을 통한 교육훈련분야의 다양화가 요구되는 근거가 된다고 할 수 있다.

This study is designed to measure the relative efficiency of regional fishery cooperatives based on Data Envelopment Analysis(DEA) methods. Selecting 40 regional fishery cooperatives in Busan as Decision Making Units (DMUs), the study uses their panel data from 2007 to 2008 to rank the relative efficiency of the DMUs. First, the efficiency score of the DMUs are calculated using CCR, SBM, and super-SMB model. Within the model, input variables are the number of employees and area of fishery cooperatives. Output variables are the amount of deposit money, loan and profit. Based on the efficiency scores calculated from super-SMB model, the efficiency ranking of the DMUs is determined. Second, the differences in average efficiency calculated from the three DEA models are tested using a pair-wise mean comparison test. The results based on the efficiency scores evaluated from super-SMB model show that seven out of the forty DMUs are efficient; among the efficient DMUs, the DMUs that can be benchmarked for inefficient DMUs through the frequency analysis of reference set being identified. Third, the differences in average efficiency of the three DEA models between 2007 and 2008 are tested using pair-wise mean comparison test and the study estimates the efficiency change of the DMUs between 2007 and 2008 using Malmquist productivity index(MPI). Finally, the paper suggests an improved composite DMU superior to the inefficient DMUs evaluated by Super-SBM model.

The objectives of this study, an analysis of the variation for leaf and fruit characteristics among the selected ten populations of Sorbus commixta Hedl. could be used for the conservation of gene resources and could provide information to superior trees selection. The results obtained from this study can be summarized as follows; Approximately, the Mt. Sungin population at Ulleung island showed larger values in overall characteristics and populations. On the other hand, Mt. Halla population at Jeju island showed the smaller values of the overall characteristics and populations. ANOV A tests showed that there were statistically significant differences in all leaf characteristics among the populations as well as individual trees within populations. But, for fruit characteristics, differences were statistically significant only among the populations. Cluster analysis using single linkage method based on leaf and fruit characteristics showed that ten selected populations of S. commixta in Korea could be clustered into three groups. Group I is Mt. Sungin at Ulleung island, Group II is Mt. Halla at Jeju island, and Group III comprises Osan, Mt. Kaji, Mt. Duckyoo, Mt. Balwang, Mt. Sobaek, Mt. O-dae, Mt. Jiri, and Mt. Taebaek. The selection level based on major agronomic traits, which are the Number of Fruit per Fruiting Lateral(NFL) over 50, and Fruit Length(FL) and Width(FW) over 10 mm, and Weight of 100 Fruit(WFI00) over 66 g, was applied on 100 sample trees, and five trees were selected. The selection effects from selected trees in NFL, FL, FW, and WF100 were evaluated as 132%, 151 %, 142%, and 264% compared to the mean of those 100 sample trees, respectively. Especially, Ulleung 2 showed excellent values that NFL and WFI00 were 95, and 69 g, respectively, suggesting a promising new cultivar for larger fruit and high productivity.

Objective: This study aimed to investigate the effect of stocking density on the behavior, productivity, and metabolism of periparturient Holstein cows as well as calf performance. Methods: A total of 48 periparturient cows were randomly assigned into three groups at 28 days (±3 days) before their expected calving date. The stocking densities of the groups, relative to the standard cubicle and feed bunk number, were i) 80% (13 cows), ii) 100% (16 cows), and iii) 120% (19 cows). Lying and rumination behavior was recorded using electronic data loggers and HR-Tags from d -21 ("d-" means days before calving) until the calving date, d 0. Lying time was assessed to determine the diurnal total hours spent lying per day. Rumination time was averaged in 2 hours interval periods over 24 hours during the experimental period. Results: Cows in the 80% group spent more time lying and ruminating between d -21 and d -7 and tended to ruminate more between d -14 and d 0. Calcium levels tended to be higher for cows in the 80% group, no other observable differences were found in monitored blood parameters. Moreover, 3.5% fat corrected milk and energy corrected milk yields were higher in 80% group in the first month of lactation. No other observable differences were found in the yield and composition of colostrum and milk in the first 10 months of lactation. The growth and performance of calves in the first week of life was not affected by stocking density of the dams. Conclusion: We concluded that lower stocking density may increase lying and ruminating behavior of prepartum Holstein cows. However, this did not translate into improved productivity and metabolism.
