한국 기업들은 새로운 시장을 개척해야할 시점에 와있다고 평가할 수 있다. 우리나라는 2011년 무역 1조 달러 달성에 성공하였다. 그러나 그 이후 답보상태에 머무르고 있으며 최근에는 수출증가율이 둔화되고 있다. 이러한 장애요인들을 딛고, 제2의 도약을 이루기 위해서는 신시장개척이 필요한 시점이다. 이러한 상황에서 최근 BOP(Base of the Pyramid)시장이 주목의 대상이 되고 있다. 이러한 BOP시장에 진입하기 위하여서는 국제개발협력의 수단 중 공적개발원조(ODA)를 활용하는 것이 하나의 대안이 될 수 있다. 특히 2017년 현재 총인구 6억3천만 명을 상회하며 2050년에는 인구 8억 명으로 추산되는 아세안은 세계 3위의 인구를 갖고 있으며, 자체 내에 거대한 BOP시장을 갖고 있다고 볼 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 아세안시장진출을 위하여 ODA기반의 BOP시장 비즈니스 모델을 제시한다. 본 연구는 총 4개의 모델을 제시하며, 특히 CSV를 기반으로 공여국과 수원 국 모두 가치를 달성할 수 있는 민간주도형 민간협력 BOP 비즈니스모델의 중요성을 강조한다.

The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of tobacco use, beliefs and risk awareness and psychosocial correlates of tobacco use among university students in 24 low, middle and emerging economy countries. Using anonymous questionnaires, data were collected from 16953 undergraduate university students (mean age 20.9, SD=2.9) from 25 universities in 24 countries across Asia, Africa and the Americas. Results indicate that overall 13.3% of the university students were current tobacco users, 22.4% for men and 6.6% for women, ranging from 3.8% in Singapore to 32.5% in Cameroon. The risk awareness of the smoking lung cancer link was 83.6%, while the risk awareness of the smoking heart disease link was 46.5%. Multivariate logistic regression found that older age, male gender, having a wealthy family background, living in a low income country, residing off campus on their own, poor beliefs in the importance not to smoke, awareness of the smoking heart disease link, hit by a sexual partner, depressive symptoms, and substance use (binge drinking and illicit drug use) were associated with current tobacco use.

Cervical cancer, the third commonest cancer in women worldwide, can be prevented through early detection by cervical screening (Pap smear). The aim of this study was to investigate the attitudes and practice of cervical cancer screening among female undergraduate university students from 25 low, middle income and emerging economy countries. Using anonymous questionnaires, data were collected from 9,194 female undergraduate university students aged 18-26 years (mean age 20.9, SD=2.0) from 26 universities in 25 countries across Asia, Africa and the Americas. Overall, 11.6% of the female students indicated that they had conducted one or more times a cervical (Pap) smear test; 8.3% among 18-20 year-olds and 15.6% among 21-26 year-old students. There was considerable country variation on having had a cervical (Pap) smear test among 21-26 year-old female university students, ranging from 59.2% in Colombia and 50.9% in Barbados to 0% in India and 1.0% in Tunesia. Logistic regression showed that cervical cancer screening importance or positive attitude were highly associated with the cervical screening practice. Moreover, risky sexual behaviour and tobacco use, two cervical cancer risk factors, were associated with screening. Cervical cancer screening practices were found to be inadequate and e fforts should be made to develop programmes that can increase the uptake of cervical cancer screening.

본 연구에서는 CGE모형을 이용하여 한-아세안 FTA 서비스무역협정의 체결이 한국 경제에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다. 2007년 11월 21일 서명한 한-아세안 FTA의 서비스무역협정에 근거하여 한국과 아세안 회원국 (태국 제외)이 합의한 양허안에 근거하여 산출한 서비스의 관세상당치(tariff equivalents of services)를 제거하는 경우, 한국 경제에 미치게 될 파급효과를 정량적으로 분석하였다. 거시경제적 영향을 보면, 한국의 실질GDP는 0.04% 증가하고, 후생수준은 1억6백만 달러 높아질 것으로 전망되며, 1인당 후생수준은 0.03% 증가할 것으로 전망된다. 한국의 대(對)세계 수출은 1억7천9백만 달러 증가하고 수입은 약 1억9천1백만 달러 증가하여 1천2백만 달러의 무역수지 적자를 기록할 것으로 예상된다. 한편 한국의 대(對)아세안 수출은 1억8백만 달러 증가하고, 수입은 2억7천8백만 달러 증가하여 한국은 대(對)아세안 1억7천만 달러의 무역수지 적자를 기록하게 될 것으로 예상된다. 그러나 서비스산업의 다양한 규제 등의 교역장벽이 철폐되면서 서비스의 수입가격이 인하되고 수입 중간재를 사용하는 많은 기업의 생산비용이 인하되어 궁극적으로 생산증가, 소득증가의 선순환으로 이어져 궁극적으로 실질 경제성장을 가져올 것으로 분석되었다.

기후변화로 인해 전지구적인 이상기후현상이 빈번하게 발생하고 있으며 지구온도와 해수면상승과 더불어 강우패턴의 변화가 세계적인 문제로 대두되고 있다. 특히 아세안 국가의 경우 태풍 및 집중호우에 대한 침수피해의 빈발로 2,000만명 이상이 피해를 입은 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 윈인으로는 자연재해에 의한 인명 및 재산피해관련 대응기술의 개발 및 대응조직의 전문성이 미흡하다는 것이 가장 큰 원인으로 제시되고 있다. 이에 많은 국가 및 기관에서 재난 대응 기술을 ODA사업을 통해 지원하고 있다. 우리나라에서도 지속적인 ODA사업으로 재난 대응 기술, 그 중에서도 홍수대응 기술을 적극적으로 보급하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 ASEAN국가 현지 맞춤형 인공지능 하천수위예측 모형을 개발하여 ASEAN국가의 홍수대응 능력을 향상시키고자 하였다. 연구대상으로는 관측데이터의 수집이 용이하고 양질의 관측자료를 장기간 확보할 수 있는 필리핀의 Montalban 관측소를 대상으로 하였다. Montalban 수위관측소는 마닐라를 관통하는 마리키나 강의 상류에 위치하고 있다. 주변에는 상류쪽에 Mt. Oro 강우관측소가 있으며 해당 관측소의 강우자료와 Montalban 관측소의 수위자료를 입력자료로 활용하여 최대 3시간까지 수위를 예측하였다. 예측수위에 대한 적합도 지표로 NSE(Nash-Sutcliffe model efficiency coefficient)를 사용하였으며 2시간 예측까지는 0.8이상의 유의미한 결과를 나타내 홍수예보에 활용할 수 있을 것으로 판단되나, 3시간 예측결과는 홍수예보에 활용하기 어려운 것으로 판단하였다. 이는 Mt. Oro관측소에 내린 강우가 Montalban 관측소에 도달하기까지 소요되는 시간이 3시간 이내이기 때문으로 판단된다. 관측소의 수위자료와 상류에 위치한 강우관측소의 장기간 고품질의 관측자료가 존재한다면 높은 정확도의 예측결과를 도출 할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

The United Nations' Millennium Development Goals (MDG) has become a goal to create a sustainable life. The MDGs' target was to be achieved in 2015, but it missed that date. The MDGs' target has turned into a Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) to be achieved by 2030 The SDGs require financial support from companies. Funds are one of the resources to implement the SDGs. Government and private companies need to cooperate in achieving the SDGs target. The company has a responsibility to implement corporate social responsibility. The company's corporate social responsibility is part of the implementation of sustainable development in the SDGs. One of the essential industries that have responsibility for SDGs is the financial industry. This study aims to examine the determinant of corporate social responsibility funds in financial institutions in ASEAN countries. This study uses panel data to test the determinant variables on CSF provision. This study uses 45 sustainable development reports from 2015-2019. The total number of banks in the sample came from three countries, namely, Indonesia, Malaysia, and Thailand. This study concludes that firm size, profitability, efficiency, and the age of the CEO are variables that influence the size of corporate social responsibility funds.

Background: The aim of this study was to investigate the awareness of breast cancer risk factors among female university students in 24 low, middle income and emerging economy countries. A cross-sectional survey was conducted with 10,242 undergraduate university students (mean age 20.7, SD=2.9) from 25 universities in 24 countries across Asia, Africa and the Americas. Using anonymous questionnaires the awareness of links between breast cancer and heredity, diet, overweight, exercise, alcohol use, smoking and stress was assessed. Results indicated that 35.4% of the women were not aware that any of these risk factors could influence breast cancer, 43.8% were aware of a genetic link, and only 12.5%, 10.9% and 10.6% correctly identified alcohol use, overweight and physical inactivity, respectively, as factors causing breast cancer. Moreover, 13.3% rated dietary fat and 11.5% fibre as influencing breast cancer; both low-fat and high-fibre diets may be weakly protective against breast cancer, and smoking (19.4%) and stress (13.5%), the most commonly chosen breast cancer lifestyle risk factors, have less clear impact on breast cancer. There were marked country differences, e.g., in regards of being aware of genetic causes of breast cancer risk in female students from Ivory Coast, India, Madagascar, Nigeria and Laos below 30% and female students from Pakistan, Singapore, Turkey, Grenada and Philippines 60 or more percent. This study provides insight in the breast cancer risk perception of young women, which can be utilized in breast cancer awareness and prevention programmes.

Background: Colorectal cancer is one of the major health problems worldwide. However, limited studies have been reported from ASEAN countries. This study was conducted to evaluate clinical characteristics and survival of colorectal cancer cases aged <65 years and ${\geq}65$ years in the central region of Thailand. Materials and Methods: Clinical information, histological features, endoscopic findings and treatment outcome were collected and reviewed from Thammasat University Hospital, Pathumthani, Thailand between November 2011 and October 2015. Results: A total of 121 colorectal cancer patients, comprising 69 men and 52 women with a mean age of 65.8 years, were included. There were 57 aged <65 years and 64 aged ${\geq}65$ years. Common presenting symptoms were abdominal pain (37%), weight loss (34%) and anemia (32%). Mean duration of symptoms prior to diagnosis was 173 days. However, longer diagnosis time was demonstrated in patients aged <65 years than age more than ${\geq}65$ years (119.4 vs 58.4 days, P-value=0.30). Colonic fungating mass was the most common endoscopic finding (64.4%) and the location was significantly more commonly left than right side of the colon, both in younger and elderly groups (87.7% vs 12.3%, P=0.02 and 70.3% vs 29.7%, P=0.02, respectively). Adenocarcinoma with moderated differentiated was the most common histology (67.3%). More than half of the patients presented with advanced stage (28.9% with TNM stage 3 and 38.8% TNM stage 4, respectively). Overall 1-year and 5-year survival rates were 76.9% and 5%. Conclusions: Most colorectal cancer patients in Thailand have adenocarcinomas and present at advanced stage with poor prognosis. Screening of high risk patients and early detection might be essential factors to improve the treatment outcome and overall survival rate of colon cancer patients in Thailand and other ASEAN countries.

The advent of digitalisation has transformed economies into more integrated, but increasingly complex systems. This new trend has brought dynamic changes in the manufacturing sector through advanced ICT infrastructure, smart factories, digitally-controlled logistics, and skilled ICT-labour. The impacts of the digital economy on manufacturing could be best illustrated through "Industry 4.0." With this wave of technological advancement, countries aim to establish an industrial ecosystem where every manufacturing process and function is connected and interacts through digital networks. Industry 4.0 presents opportunities for Emerging Asia, as the region has emerged as a fast-growing manufacturing hub and particularly a production base for ICT goods. However, growing production capacity, increased exports, and increases in FDI in the field of ICT goods manufacturing have so far contributed little to the development and diffusion of ICT. A huge gap exists in the ICT uptake amongst countries and between small and large firms. This paper highlights the level of Industry 4.0 readiness of Emerging Asia and key factors that determine its enhancement.

This study aims to investigate the impact of financial distress on the cash holding of non-financial companies in Indonesia as the largest emerging economy among ASEAN countries. Furthermore, the sub-sample business group to be investigated were divided into two, groups namely affiliated and non-affiliated groups. This was carried out to ascertain the difference in the impact of financial distress on cash holding between both groups. Sample collection was based on all firms listed on the Indonesian Stock Exchange (IDX) during 2008-2017, comprising 137 firms. The results showed that using the two-step system Generalized Method of Moments (GMM), the coefficients for financial distress (Z-Score) indices were positive and significant for all models. Therefore, the higher the Z-Score value, the lower the company's financial distress and vice versa. This implies that the lower the company's financial distress, the lower the cash holding. Furthermore, a positive and significant impact of the Z-Score on cash holding for non-affiliated groups was discovered. This implies that there are differences in the amount of cash holding between affiliated and non-affiliated groups. This result indicates that non-affiliated groups hold more cash during financial distress. However, these results had cash policy implications, particularly for non-affiliated groups.
