Resource sharing is one of the main goals achieved by network virtualization technology to enhance network resource utilization and enable resource customization. Though resource sharing can improve network efficiency by accommodating various users in a network, limited infrastructure capacity is still a challenge to ultra-low latency service operators. In this paper, we propose an inter-slice resource borrowing schema based on the device-to-device (D2D) potentiality especially for ultra-low latency transmission in cellular networks. An extended and modified Kuhn-Munkres bipartite matching algorithm is developed to optimally achieve inter-slice resource borrowing. Simulation results show that, proper D2D user matching can be achieved, satisfying ultra-low latency (ULL) users' quality of service (QoS) requirements and resource utilization in various scenarios.

Objectives: This study was conducted to measure financial toxicity (FT) among patients with cancer in Vietnam using the COmprehensive Score for financial Toxicity (COST) and to describe the cost management strategies employed by these patients. Methods: This comprehensive cross-sectional study enrolled 634 patients from 2 specialized oncology hospitals in Vietnam. Using COST cut-off scores, FT was classified as none/mild (≥26), moderate (14-25), or severe (≤13). Cost management strategies, or coping mechanisms, were classified into 4 groups: lifestyle changes, financial resource strategies, treatment modifications, and support seeking. Results: The prevalence of FT was 91.8%, with 51.7% of participants demonstrating severe and 40.1% exhibiting moderate FT. Severe FT was significantly associated with female, low education level, unstable employment, low household economic status, and advanced cancer stage. The most common coping strategies were as follows: among lifestyle changes, reducing spending on basic items and leisure activities (78.7%) and cutting back on essential household expenses (66.4%); among financial resource strategies, borrowing money from relatives or friends (49.1%) and withdrawing funds from retirement or savings accounts (34.1%); within treatment modifications, switching treatment facilities or doctors due to cost concerns (9.3%); and within support seeking, obtaining help from welfare or community organizations (18.8%). All strategies were significantly more likely to be used by patients with severe FT. Conclusions: FT was highly prevalent among patients with cancer. Most patients relied on lifestyle adjustments and coping strategies, underscoring the need for improved financial support systems to alleviate the economic burden associated with cancer care.

본고(本稿)는 최근 논란이 되고 있는 금융기관(金融機關)들의 꺾기관행의 의의와 꺾기의 통화량효과(通貨量效果)를 분석함으로써 예대상계(預貸相計)를 통한 정부(政府)의 꺾기규제정책의 효과를 규명해 보고자 하는 데 그 목적이 있다. 꺾기란 여신(與信)(대출(貸出))에 대응해서 일정한 금액의 수신(受信)(예금(預金))을 요구하는 금융관행을 통칭하는데, 기존 문헌에 의하면 이윤극대화(利潤極大化)를 추구하는 금융기관이 정보(情報)의 비대칭성이나 예금(預金) 및 대출금리규제(貸出金利規制)와 같은 금융규제(金融規制) 등에 따른 금융시장의 불완전성을 극복하기 위해 도입하는 관행으로서 궁극적으로는 금융자원배분(金融資源配分)의 왜곡을 시정하는 데 기여하게 된다. 한편 꺾기의 통화량효과(通貨量效果)는 꺾기가 일국(一國)의 통화승수(通貨乘數)에 미치는 효과에 의존하게 되는데, 꺾기의 통화승수효과(通貨乘數效果)는 총대출 중 예금으로 회귀하는 적정예금회귀율(滴定預金回歸率)과 은행(銀行)들의 적정예금지급준비율(滴定預金支給準備率)에 미치는 꺾기의 효과에 의존하게 된다. 이론적으로 이들 효과의 방향은 불분명한데 실증분석결과에 의하면 우리나라의 경우 꺾기의 통화량효과(通貨量效果)는 유의성(有意性)이 없는 것으로 나타나고 있다. 따라서 이에 의하면 꺾기가 인위적으로 통화량(通貨量)을 증가시킬 것이라는 통념은 지지되지 않고 있을 뿐만 아니라, 예대상계정책(預貸相計政策)을 통해 통화량(通貨量)을 감소시킴으로써 여유대출자금(餘裕貸出資金)을 창출할 수 있을 것이라는 기대가 실현되기도 어렵다 할 것이다. 이에 따라 앞으로 예대상계(預貸相計)를 통화량관리(通貨量管理)의 방편으로 이용하고자 하거나 이를 통해 대출여유자금(貸出餘裕資金)을 창출하고자 하는 정책의 추진은 대단히 신중을 기하는 것이 바람직하다 할 것이다.
