  • 지난 참여 정부에서 지역균형발전정책의 하나로 지역혁신정책을 본격적으로 추진하면서 지역혁신체제에 대한 관심이 높아져 왔다. 그러나 우리나라 지방자치단체들은 아직까지 지역혁신체제와 지역혁신역량에 대한 개념 파악이 미흡한 실정이다. 또한 지역혁신체제에 관한 논의는 많이 있었지만, 그럼에도 불구하고 개념 정립이 부족한 상태이며 학자들 사이에서도 많은 이견이 존재한다. 그리고 지금까지 혁신역량에 관한 논의 및 연구는 대부분 국가 차원에서 이루어져 왔고, 지역 차원에서의 혁신역량 분석은 매우 부족한 실정이다. 이러한 맥락 하에서 본 연구는 지역혁신역량과 기업의 기술혁신활동에 대한 분석을 통해 지역 산업발전을 위한 토대 구축에 기여하고자 한다. 이를 위해 대한민국의 중심부이며 첨단산업의 메카인 충남북부지역을 분석대상으로 선정하여 혁신 주체들이 인지하는 지역혁신역량의 구성 내용, 기업의 혁신활동과 혁신활동의 지역화 간의 관계 등에 대한 설문조사를 수행하고, 학술적 및 정책적 함의를 제시하고자 한다.

  • 본 논문에서는 기술혁신에 영향을 미치는 요인 중 산업별 혁신시스템과 R&D 지원서비스의 요인이 엔유씨전자의 사례에서 어떻게 작용하는지 살펴보았다. 엔유씨전자는 투입구 변경과 착즙률 개선의 기술혁신을 통해 높은 혁신성과를 달성하였다. 이는 산업별 혁신시스템의 각 구성요소가 엔유씨전자의 기술혁신과 부합하는 측면이 있었기 때문이다. 엔유씨전자의 성과향상은 자체적인 혁신노력과 함께 정부출연연구소의 R&D 지원서비스가 있었기 때문에 가능했다. 기술혁신 과정에서 제품설계와 가상실험 등 기업 스스로 해결할 수 없는 영역의 고차원적인 서비스를 받을 수 있었다. 중소기업에게 부족한 부분을 보완해주는 정부와 공공기관의 지원 역할이 중요했다고 할 수 있다. 산업별 혁신시스템의 각 구성요소별로 보면 새로운 기술기회가 많은 만큼 지속성이 낮다, 모방이 쉽고 전유성이 낮지만 복합적인 측면도 있다, 기술축적의 누적성은 비교적 높은 편이다, 외부지식의 활용 가능성이 높다, 주체와 네트워크 모두 중요한 역할을 하였다, 시장여건이 매우 유리하였다 등으로 요약될 수 있다. R&D 지원서비스의 측면에서는 직접적인 효과로서 스크류의 재질과 형상에 대한 가상실험을 통해 엄청난 시간과 비용의 절약이 이루어졌다는 점을 들 수 있다. 간접적인 효과로서는 외부지원에 의한 기술개발을 계기로 엔유씨전자의 자체적인 핵심역량이 크게 강화되었고 혁신의 선순환구조가 정착되었다는 점을 들 수 있다.

  • Purpose: Limited means exist to assess gastrointestinal activity in pediatric patients postoperatively. Recently, myoelectric gastrointestinal activity recorded by cutaneous patches has been shown in adult patients to be predictive of clinical return of gastrointestinal function postoperatively. The aim of this case series is to demonstrate the feasibility of this system in pediatric patients and to correlate myoelectric signals with return of bowel function clinically. Methods: Pediatric patients undergoing abdominal surgery were recruited to have wireless patches placed on the abdomen within two hours postoperatively. Myoelectric data were transmitted wirelessly to a mobile device with a user-interface and forwarded to a cloud server where processing algorithms identified episodes of motor activity, quantified their parameters and nominally assigned them to specific gastrointestinal organs based on their frequencies. Results: Three patients (ages 5 months, 4 year, 16 year) were recruited for this study. Multiple patches were placed on the older subjects, while the youngest had a single patch due to space limitations. Rhythmic signals of the stomach, small intestine, and colon could be identified in all three subjects. Patients showed gradual increase in myoelectric intestinal and colonic activity leading up to the first recorded bowel movement. Conclusion: Measuring myoelectric intestinal activity continuously using a wireless patch system is feasible in a wide age range of pediatric patients. The increase in activity over time correlated well with the patients' return of bowel function. More studies are planned to determine if this technology can predict return of bowel function or differentiate between physiologic ileus and pathologic conditions.

  • This paper addresses the issue of increasing the effectiveness of national IT R&D planning through the adoption of the technology roadmapping process. As a needs-driven technology Planning tool, technology roadmapping can help identify and select technology alternatives to meet a set of market needs. Thus, it allows increasingly limited R&D investments to be used more efficiently. From this point of view, the Ministry of Information and Communication is considering introducing technology roadmapping to support its annual technology planning activity. In this contribution we explore how a technology roadmap could be integrated into IT technology planning and suggest some guidelines to successful technology roadmapping, on the basis of literature review, case survey and our experience, for organizations due to employ the roadmapping process in the future.

  • BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES: The effectiveness of natural compounds in improving athletic ability has attracted attention in both sports and research. Gynostemma pentaphyllum (Thunb.) leaves are used to make traditional herbal medicines in Asia. The active components of G. pentaphyllum, dammarane saponins, or gypenosides, possess a range of biological activities. On the other hand, the anti-fatigue effects from G. pentaphyllum extract (GPE) and its effective compound, gypenoside L (GL), remain to be determined. MATERIALS/METHODS: This study examined the effects of GPE on fatigue and exercise performance in ICR mice. GPE was administered orally to mice for 6 weeks, with or without treadmill training. The biochemical analysis in serum, glycogen content, mRNA, and protein expressions of the liver and muscle were analyzed. RESULTS: The ExGPE (exercise with 300 mg/kg body weight/day of GPE) mice decreased the fat mass percentage significantly compared to the ExC mice, while the ExGPE showed the greatest lean mass percentage compared to the ExC group. The administration of GPE improved the exercise endurance and capacity in treadmill-trained mice, increased glucose and triglycerides, and decreased the serum creatine kinase and lactate levels after intensive exercise. The muscle glycogen levels were higher in the ExGPE group than the ExC group. GPE increased the level of mitochondrial biogenesis by enhancing the phosphorylation of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-γ coactivator-1α (PGC-1α) protein and the mRNA expression of nuclear respiratory factor 1, mitochondrial DNA, peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-δ, superoxide dismutase 2, and by decreasing the lactate dehydrogenase B level in the soleus muscle (SOL). GPE also improved PGC-1α activation in the SOL significantly through AMPK/p38 phosphorylation. CONCLUSIONS: These results showed that GPE supplementation enhances exercise performance and has anti-fatigue activity. In addition, the underlying molecular mechanism was elucidated. Therefore, GPE is a promising candidate for developing functional foods and enhancing the exercise capacity and anti-fatigue activity.

  • 벤처기업이 성공하기 위해 가장 중요한 요소인 기업가정신이 기술상업화 과정에서 연구개발 자원, 기술혁신, 그리고 기술이 어떻게 작용하는지를 살펴보기 위하여 제조업분야 벤처기업을 대상으로 설문조사를 실시하였다. 구조방정식모형을 분석함으로서 기업가정신이 기술상업화를 이루는 메카니즘이 규명되었다. 기업가정신 중에서 혁신성이 가장 중요한 요인이었고, 기술상업화는 연구개발 자원보다는 기술혁신에 의해서 크게 영향을 받았다. 기술혁신이 상업화에 매개역할을 하고 있지만 연구개발 자원과 기술역량은 상업화에 매개 역할이 되지 못하였다. 제품개선에 의한 매출 신장과 신제품 개발에 의한 매출 신장의 기술상업화 과정은 서로 다른 양상을 보였다. 정부는 벤처기업의 기업가정신 함양에 의한 혁신 촉진과 연구개발 인력뿐만 아니라 벤처기업의 상업화 제고를 위해서는 연구개발 전략과 상업화 인프라 조성에 대한 적극적인 지원과 연구가 필요하다.

  • The ability of any organization to innovate itself in a rapid change of environment means the existence of the organization. Innovative activity is achieved in different ways according to the objectives of organization. the characteristics of external environmental factors. and various attributes in organization. In the present study. all the existing approaches to the innovative nature of organization were synthetically compared to each other and evaluated: then. for a more rational approach. a research model was built and suggested by establishing the inclusive variables of the innovative nature of library organization and categorizing the types of such nature. Additionally. an empirical. analytical study on such a model was done. That is. paying regard to the fact that innovation has basically a close relation with the circumstantial factors of organization. synthetic, circumstantial relations were clarified. considering the external environmental factors and internal characteristics of organization. In the study. the innovation of library organization was seen in two parts i.e .. the feasible degree of technical innovation and the feasible degree of administrative innovation. Regarding the types of innovative implementation. according to the feasible degree of innovation, four types such as a stationary type. technic-oriented type, organization-oriented type. and technical-socio systematic type were classified. There were nine independent variables-i.e., the scale of organization. available resources of the organization, formalization, differentiation, specialization. decentralization, recognizant degree of the technical attribute. degree of response to the change of technical environment, and professional activities. There were three subordinate variables - i.e., technical innovation, administrative innovation. and the performance of organization. Through establishment of such variables, the factors which might influence the innovation of library organization were understood, and with the types of the innovative implementation of library organization being classified according to the feasible degree of innovation. the characteristics of library organization were reviewed in the light of each type. Also. the performance of library organization according to the types of the innovative implementation of library organization was analyzed. and the relations between the types of innovative implementation according to circumstantial variables and the performance of library organization were clarified. In order to clarify the adequacy of the research model in the methodology of empirical study, data were collected from 72 university libraries and 38 special libraries. and for a hypothetical test of the research model. an analysis of correlations, a stepwise regression analysis. and One Way ANOVA were utilized. The following are the major results or findings from the study 1) It appeared there is a trend that the bigger the scale of organization and available resources are, the more active the professional activity of the managerial class is, and the higher the recognizant degree of technical environment (recognizant degree of technical attributes and the degree of response t9 the change of technical environment) is, the higher the feasible degree of innovation becomes. 2) It appeared that among the variables influencing the feasible degree of technical innovation, the order from the variable influencing most was first, the recognizant degree of technical innovation: second, the available resources of organization: and third, professional activity. Regarding the variables influencing the feasible degree of administrative innovation from the most influential variable, it appeared they were the available resources of organization, the differentiation of organization. and the degree of response to the change of technical environment. 3) It appeared that the higher the educational level of the managerial class is, the more active the professional activity becomes. It seemed there is a trend that the group of library managers whose experience as a librarian was at the middle level(three years to six years of experience) was more active in research activity than the group of library managers whose experience as a librarian was at a higher level(more than ten years). Also, it appeared there is a trend that the lower the age of library managers is, the higher the recognizant degree of technical attributes becomes. and the group of library managers whose experience as a librarian was at the middle level (three years to six years of experience) recognized more affirmatively the technical aspect than the group of library managers whose experience as a librarian was at a higher level(more than 10 years). Also, it appeared that, when the activity of the professional association and research activity are active, the recognizant degree of technology becomes higher, and as a result. it influences the innovative nature of organization(the feasible degree of technical innovation and the feasible degree of administrative innovation). 4) As a result of the comparison and analysis of the characteristics of library organization according to the types of innovative implementation of library organization. it was indicated there is a trend that the larger the available resources of library organization, the higher the organic nature of organization such as differentiation. decentralization, etc., and the higher the level of the operation of system development, the more the type of the innovative implementation of library organization becomes the technical-socio systematic type which is higher both in the practical degrees of technical innovation and administrative innovation. 5) As a result of the comparison and analysis of the relations between the types of innovative implementation and the performance of organization, it appeared that the order from the highest performance of organization is the technical-socio systematic type, then the technic-oriented type, the organization­oriented type, and finally the stationary type which is lowest in such performance. That is, it demonstrated that, since the performance of library organization is highest in the library of the technical-socio systematic type while it is lowest in the library whose practical degrees in both technical innovation and administrative innovation are low, the performance of library organization differs significantly according to the types of innovative implementation of library organization. The present study has extracted the factors influencing innovation, classified systematically the types of innovative implementation, and inferred the synthetical, circumstantial correlations between the types and the performance of organization, and empirically inspected those factors. However, due to the present study's restrictive matters and the limit of the research design, results from the study should be more prudently interpreted. Also, the present study, as an investigative study of the types of innovative implementation, with few preceding studies, requires more complete hypothetical inference based on the results of the present study. In other words, if more systematical studies are given to understanding the relations, it will devote the suggestion and demonstration of a more useful theory.
