Background: The production of glass beads in Ghana is greatly impacted by the ingenuity of Ghanaian women. Preliminary investigations revealed the lack of interest on the part of women due to poor working conditions as a result of the influence of culture-specific silence. Therefore, the study investigated the poor working conditions faced by these industrious women with the ultimate goal of suggesting ways they can be empowered. Methods: A phenomenological study was conducted in two indigenous glass bead communities in Ghana. Data were solicited via direct observations, personal interviews and focus group discussions. Twenty-six purposively sampled respondents were recruited for the study. Data from the study were analyzed using Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis. Results: The results confirmed that the elderly women glass bead makers are much influenced by the Ghanaian culture of silence. This prevents the women from speaking about the challenges they are facing in their work. Also, the women are silenced because of the fear of losing their jobs as well as the reluctance of their male managers to remedy the challenges they encounter in the course of work. This has resulted in poor remuneration, lack of insurance packages for workers, certification, and absence of personal protective tools for the women. Conclusion: The study tasks the government of Ghana, the Legal Advocacy for Women in Africa (LAWA), the Fair Wages and Salaries Commission in Ghana, the Ghana Trade Union as well as the Local Government Workers' Union to empower the women to sustain the glass bead industry in Ghana.

This study compares and analyzes the legal systems of Korea, the European Union, China, and the United States based on the disclosure principles and processing policies for personal data processing and provides references for seeking improvements in our legal system. Furthermore, this research aims to suggest institutional implications to overcome data transfer limitations in the upcoming digital economy. Findings on a comparative analysis of the relevant legal systems for disclosing privacy policies in four countries showed that Korea's privacy policy is under the eight principles of privacy proposed by the OECD. However, there are limitations in the current situation where personal information is increasingly transferred overseas due to direct international trade e-commerce. On the other hand, the European Union enacted the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) in 2016 and emphasized the transfer of personal information under the Privacy Policy. China also showed differences in the inclusion of required items in its privacy policy based on its values and principles regarding transferring personal information and handling sensitive information. The U.S. CPRA amended §1798.135 of the CCPA to add a section on the processing of sensitive information, requiring companies to disclose how they limit the use of sensitive information and limit the use of such data, thereby strengthening the protection of data providers' rights to sensitive information. Thus, we should review our privacy policies to specify detailed standards for the privacy policy items required by data providers in the era of digital economy and digital commerce. In addition, privacy-related organizations and stakeholders should analyze the legal systems and items related to the principles of personal data disclosure and privacy policies in major countries so that personal data providers can be more conveniently and accurately informed about processing their personal information.

본 논문의 목적은 (1) 한국 가전 대기업들의 진입과 퇴출과정을 유럽통합과 확대과정의 맥락에서 살펴보는데 있으며, (2) 그 과정이 각기 다른 지리적 규모(세계적, 지역적(EU), 국가적, 지방적 규모)와 얼마나 역설적으로 상호 얽혀있는가를 밝히는데 있다. 1980년대 이후 급격하게 증가된 한국 가전 대기업들의 對EU 해외직접투자는 EU의 강화된 무역지역주의에 대응한 결과였다. 이러한 방어적 투자는 관련 대기업의 계열사들 및 중소협력업체들의 시기적으로 다른 진입을 통하여 이루어 졌으며, 결과적으로 EU내 기업전략으로써 방어적 유럽화를 창출시키는 계기가 되었다. 그럼에도 불구하고, 방어적 진입은 이후 대기업들의 생산의 일부가 (1) EU 무역규제의 변화에 민감하게 반응하면서, (2) EU내 투자유치 지역에서의 비용경쟁력유지에 실패함으로써 (입지이전을 통한) 퇴출로 이어졌다. 결국, 한국 대기업들의 진입과 퇴출과정은 통합유럽을 향한 EU의 무역, 산업, 외국인투자 및 지역정책들이 일관된 방향으로 결합되지 못하면서 야기되었으며, 이와 같은 맥락에서 그 과정들은 세계적-지역적-국가적-지방적 연결체라는 상호 얽힌, 역설적 구조속에서 진행되고 있다.

Purpose - The Visegrád Group cooperation of the past 14 years and that of V4 for the past 20 years has very important significance in the 21st century that must be maintained. This cooperation is valuable because of the trade routes that connect northern Poland to the Balkans in southern Croatia, which forman important basis for the resuscitation of Central European development. Currently, because of the European manufacturing base and industrial development, an energy supply and stable energy distribution networks have been introduced to secure cooperation and not competition within the Visegrád Group. This paper's research emphasizes the supply chain hub in neighboring countries. Although Central and Eastern European countries are small, they can provide a competitive response to Western Europe if they collaborate with the V4 group and other countries. Research design, data, and methodology - The subjects of this study in the Visegrád Group area are related to the development of Marketing and Distribution Sciences in the integrated European Union. In relation to the existing energy infrastructure, construction companies and financial institutions benefit from large-scale construction projects. Existing or new infrastructure facilities among the V4 must comply with the preconditions of regional energy markets. The network of emerging markets is changing into a European-logistics hub of new markets. This hub is closely associated with the economic development of European self-sustainment given that energy for distribution and consumption is imported from Russia. Therefore, this paper indirectly provides data on the regional distribution of energy as alternative bases in Europe for market expansion to Asia. Results - As a result, it appeared unlikely that V4 failed to implement homogeneity following the standards of Western Europe, as proposed by the EU. Throughout European history, individuals have gathered in Central Europe as an innovation hub. Currently, the region is being established independently for energy industrial development and not for tourism development, and is expected to play a central role in innovation and distribution consumption. Therefore, similar to Western and Northern Europe, V4 only appears to engage in distribution consumption on the basis of the identity that it formed for itself. This area is expected to either create a regional platform or a voice over a single economic policy. Conclusions - To this end, regarding the distribution of consumer groups within and outside the region, the V4 group is expected to be established for various policy areas and as a Eurasian outpost of trade and distribution logistics. In addition, given its purpose of engaging in the distribution of energy cooperation and trade clusters, the Visegrád Group will be in charge of the center axis of the bridge for distribution logistics trading partners from the Western Balkans to Caucasus and Eastern Europe. Thus, the Visegrád Group is entering this region as a platform for market share by enabling all or any investor can gain greater industrial benefits.

본 논문은 노사 당사자들의 이념이 노사관계에 중요한 영향을 미친다는 전제로 한국과 영국의 노사관계의 이념적 특성을 비교 연구하고자 하였다. 영국은 오랫동안 형성된 자율적이고 다원적인 이념적 전통으로 인하여 노사간 갈등을 조정하고 통합해가는 과정이 매우 합리적인 반면, 한국의 경우에는 노동조합 이념의 비현실성과 경직적이고 배타적인 이념으로 인하여 노사갈등이 심화되었다는 것을 살펴보았다. 이의 결과로 한국은 영국에 비해 파업 건수와 분규 참가자수는 상대적으로 작지만 지속기간이 길어서 노동손실일수가 매우 크기 때문에 국민경제적 손실이 심화되는 것을 분석하였다. 한국의 노조 이념은 다양함과 빈곤이 동시에 존재하며, 이념 간 소통이 부재하다는 특징을 가지고 있다. 따라서 영국의 노사관계의 강점이 상이한 이념적 갈등을 합리적으로 조정해 나가는 힘이라는 점에서, 우리가 배워야 할 점은 노사관계 이념에 대한 공론화를 통해 이념과 현실의 괴리를 없애는 것이다.

Korea Fair Trade Commission (KFTC), one of the Government agencies, has been preparing a standard model form of Exclusive Contract for Entertainment Management (hereinafter referred to as "Exclusive Contract") to eliminate some types of unfairness that placed entertainers at disadvantage such as forced PR activities or activities without payment, excessive privacy infringement, and exemption of payment after the termination of the exclusive contract. The said Exclusive Contract was drafted by The Korean Commercial Arbitration Board (the "KCAB") in association with the Korean Entertainment Law Society (the "KELS") and KCAB has persistently persuaded Corea Entertainment Management Association (the "CEMA"; mainly actors management) and Korea Entertainment Producers' Association (the "KEPA"; mainly singers management) to adopt the above-mentioned Exclusive Contract, respectively, and especially arbitration clause instead of litigation. After KCAB's tens of meetings and persuasion, they finally decided to accept KCAB's offer and they have submitted the Exclusive Contract drafted by KCAB and KELS to KFTC on April 17, 2009. The arbitration clause drafted by KCAB was already accepted by unfair contract examination division and unfair contract advisory committee and the final standard model contract was supposed to be publicly announced on June 30, 2009 after final examination of unfair contract standing committee, but the announcement has been delayed owing to severe controversies between the concerned parties, such as CEMA, KAU (Korea Artists' Union), KEPA and KSA (Korea Singers' Association) related to delicate issues like contract period and ownership of intellectual properties, etc. But it is expected the announcement will be made very soon by which the contract will include the originally drafted arbitration clause by KCAB. Therefore, it is very timely to examine the various legal issues which can be arisen out of disputes, and arbitration appropriateness with Exclusive Contract of Entertainment Management on this paper.

Purpose: This study analyzed the relationship between working hours and the occurrence of industrial disasters based on manufacturing businesses that are members of Federation of Korean Trade Unions.Methods: Repliers were managers of the safety & health department in the union, and 215 surveys out of 300 businesses that agreed to participate in the research were analyzed. Results: 94 out of 300 companies, which counted for 43.7%, replied to have experienced industrial disasters. 56 of those (59.6%) had less than 52 working hours per week, and 38 companies (40.4%) had more than 52 working hours per week. 109 companies, which counted for 50.7%, did not have an incident of industrial disaster. Companies with an average of more than 52 hours of working hours per week were shown to have a 2.29 times (95% CI 1.08~4.87) higher possibility of having industrial disasters than those with less than 52 hours of working hours. Conclusion: As the study showed that industrial disasters were more likely to occur in businesses with working hours longer than 52 hours, ways to reduce working hours need to be developed and various safety measures need to be taken to prevent industrial disasters in case workers are undergoing long working hours.

본 연구에서는 패널 공간더빈모형을 활용하여 유럽연합 회원국 26개 국가의 전력수출입 결정요인을 밝히는 것을 주요 목적으로 하며, 특히 전원별 발전량을 중심으로 설명하고자 한다. 이때 공간더빈모형을 활용함에 있어 단순히 인접기준 혹은 거리에 의해 가중치를 부여하는 방식이 아닌 전력 계통이 연계된 국가 간의 교역 비중을 기준으로 공간가중치 행렬을 구성하고자 한다. 또한 유럽 국가들의 전력계통은 직간접적으로 연결되어 지리적으로 멀리 떨어진 국가들 사이의 상호작용이 가능하므로, 이를 가중치행렬에 반영한다. 이를 바탕으로 분석한 결과, 원자력발전은 수출에는 양의 효과, 수입에는 음의 효과를 미치며 풍력·태양광 발전량의 증가는 전력의 계통 불안정성을 높여 수출과 수입에 모두 양의 효과를 미치는 것으로 분석되었다. 현재 국내의 지리적 여건상 타국과의 전력교역은 어려운 실정이다. 따라서 본 연구의 결과는 국내 에너지믹스 정책에 있어 시사하는 바가 있으며, 이전에 사용되지 않던 방식의 가중치행렬을 이용한 패널 공간더빈모형을 통해 전력수출입 요인을 분석했다는 데 의의가 있다.

본 연구는 미국 내 다양한 지역들의 소비위험 분산의 결정요인을 실증적 접근을 통해 분석하고자 한다. 이를 위해 미국 내 8개 경제권역의 다양한 조합을 소비위험 분산 집단으로 간주하고 거시, 금융변수의 통제 하에 해당 소비위험 집단들의 산업구조 편차가 각 집단의 소비위험 분산에 미치는 영향을 살펴보고자 한다. 본 연구의 실증분석 결과에 따르면, 소비위험 집단내 산업구조 편차가 심할수록 해당 소비위험 집단의 자본시장 경로를 통한 소비위험 분산은 더욱 활발해지는 것으로 나타난다. 이러한 연구결과는 지역 간 경제통합에 있어서 산업구조가 이질적인 지역일수록 자본시장을 통한 소비위험 분산 집단을 형성하는 경향이 강하다는 사실을 암시한다. 또한 본 연구의 실증결과는 현재 진행되고 있는 FTA나 여타 경제통합 진행과정에서 보다 효율적인 경제통합 달성을 위해 회원 국가 혹은 지역의 산업구조가 고려되어야 함을 시사하고 있다.

The banking system provides a number of important functions for the economy and is also the lifeblood and financier of the economy in each country. Large amounts of idle money have not been exploited by banks; however, banks still depend on loans, including loans from foreign banks, to meet the growing demand, as such, for banks, the cost of capital is high, the stability and business efficiency are low and banks have not promoted their internal resources to grow steadily. To achieve the goal, this research analyzes the factors affecting the choice of bank for the deposit decisions of customers in Vietnam. The study used a sample data of 250 individuals and SPSS software was used to analyze the data. The results showed that customer policy has a positive effect on customers' deposit decisions in a bank, and this is new evidence regarding behavioral theory in the case of Vietnam. Results further demonstrated that other factors such as employee image, brand, interest rate, relative influencing, and transaction time positively impact the choice of bank for the deposit decisions of customers. However, the bank's promotion strategies had no impact on the choice of bank for the deposit decisions of customers. Besides, employee image is the most influential factor in the deposit decisions, followed by the bank's brand and interest rate.
