This study empirically analyzes the effects of exploitation and exploration on the innovation performance of emerging companies. We assumed that R&D expenditures or outsourcing production are positively associated with the level of innovation of the firm. The study conducted an analysis based on World Bank data collected from 2008 to 2009 for 1,555 companies in 11 emerging countries. As a result, firms in many emerging economies with insufficient resources and in low-tech manufacturing industries have shown that exploratory innovation activities, represented by investments in R&D expenditure, are still critical to achieving superior performance in new product production. On the other hand, exploitative activities through outsourcing did not have a significant impact on firms’ innovation performance. Through the results of this analysis, this study suggests that exploratory activities are meaningful in emerging countries to increase their innovation performance.

This study aims to explore relationships between non-English majors’ instrumental motivation, interest, and their learning behaviors in a Korean EFL context. Two questionnaires of instrumental motivation and interest were administered to 113 freshmen who were enrolled in a language certificate program for non-English majors. Three of the respondents were invited to a semi-structured interview for in-depth understanding of their perceptions about the program and learning. Results of factor analysis showed the validity of the Promotional and Preventional Instrumentality and the Course and Task Interest as important factors. Pearson correlation and regression analysis were carried out on the data. Results showed that the instrumental motivations were positively correlated with the interest factors and learning behaviors. While instrumental motivations were predictors for learners’ intended effort, learners’ interest in course predicted their achievement test score. The findings suggest that characteristics of context and strong obligations of non-English majors might affect their motivation, interest, and learning behaviors. Limitations and implications of the study were also discussed.

The diversity and characterization of microorganisms isolated from the soil around several ranches in Korea were confirmed in this study. To isolate halophilic microorganisms, the marine agar medium was basically used and cultivated at 37℃ for several days. After single colony isolation, a total of 116 pure colonies were isolated and phylogenetic analysis was carried out based on the result of 16S rDNA sequencing, indicating that isolated strains were divided into 4 phyla, 23 families, 30 genera and 51 species. To confirm whether isolated strain can be a candidate for the fermentation of diverse food ingredients, amylase, lipase, and protease enzyme assays were performed individually, showing that 92 strains possessed at least one enzyme activity. Especially 4 strains, identified to Jonesia quinghaiensis (isolate name: JSF 19-2), Halomonas alkaliantarctica (isolate name: JSF 21), Bacillus velezensis (isolate name: NWFY-36), and Staphylococcus capitis subsp. urealyticus (isolate name: MSY-5), showed all enzyme activity tested. Moreover, 17 strains showed the ability for auxin production. This result indicated that isolated strains have shown the possibility of the application for the food and feed industries. Therefore, this study has contributed to securing domestic biological resources and the improvement of hydrolytic enzyme activity by using isolated strains.

교과 교육에 있어 교과서는 교육과정을 구현하고 있는 실체이다. 학계에서는 교육과정이 바뀔 때마다 교과서를 어떻게 구성할 것인지 지속적으로 연구해 왔다. 본고는 그동안의 연구 성과를 바탕으로 현행 교과서를 분석하여 바람직한 한문 교과서의 방향을 탐색해 보았다. 현행 교과서 구성은 대체로 원문이 제시되고 이에 대한 풀이 그리고 문법 정리 기타 단어와 이야기 등으로 구성되어 있다. 이러한 구조에서는 산문을 가르치며 문장 전체를 가르치기에 매우 부적합하며 학생들의 흥미를 끌기도 쉽지 않고 생각한다. 이에 본고는 새로운 교과서의 방향으로 소단원 중심으로 할 것, 신습한자를 제시하지 말고 본문에 나오는 글자를 익히도록 하며 교육용 기초한자 표를 잘 만들어 제시할 것, 학생의 눈높이에 맞는 제재를 선택할 것, 길이기 긴 문장의 경우 앞뒤로 내용을 요약해주어 문장의 내용 전체를 알 수 있도록 본문을 제시할 것, 제한된 지면을 효율적으로 활용하기 위해 단어, 성어, 문장, 학습 용어를 한 단원에 모두 제시할 것 등을 제안하였다. 한문을 쉽고 재미있게 가르치는 방법은 없다고 생각한다. 다만 교사들이 가르치는데 퍽퍽하지 않고 학생들이 손을 뻗기 쉽고 흥미를 유도할 수 있도록 구안하는 것이 중요하다고 생각한다.

본 연구의 목적은 시뮬레이션기반 실습교육이 간호대학생들의 고용가능성, 진로탐색행동 및 진로결정 자기효능감에 미치는 효과를 확인하고자 시도되었다. 비동등성 대조군 전후설계를 적용한 유사실험 설계로 J지역 소재 3학년 학생을 편의표집하여 총 120명의 간호대학생들로, 실험군 60명, 대조군 60명이 연구에 참여하였다. 실험군은 6주간 실험에 참여하였다. 연구결과, 시뮬레이션기반 실습교육은 간호대학생의 고용가능성(t=-2.31, p=.023), 진로탐색행동(t=-3.05, p=.003)을 유의하게 증가시켰으나, 진로결정자 기효능감(t=-.87, p=.387)은 통계적으로 유의한 차이가 없었다. 결론적으로 시뮬레이션기반 실습교육은 간호대학생들의 교육에 유용하므로 강화해야 할 것이다.

최근 문화체육관광부에서는 범국민적 여행분위기 조성과 여름철 집중된 국내 관광수요 분산 등을 위해 2014년부터 ‘여행주 간’을 정하여 운영하고 있다. 이 사업의 일환으로 국립공원공단에서도 2018년부터 ‘여행주간’ 동안 전국 국립공원에서 자연을 주제로 한 볼거리·즐길거리를 제공하는 국민 참여형 저지대 탐방 프로그램을 운영하고 있다. 따라서 본 연구의 목적은 국가 정책으로 시행되고 있는 ‘여행주간’ 동안 국립공원에서 진행되었던 ‘국립공원 봄 여행주간 프로그램’ 참가자를 대상으로 프로그램 만족도와 재참여의향에 대한 인식 특성을 파악하기 위해 진행되었다. 연구방법은 전국의 총 18개 국립공원에서 진행된 ‘2019년 국립공원 봄 주간 프로그램’에 참여한 탐방객 1,281명을 대상으로 자기보고식 설문조사를 실시하였다. 연구결과, 참가자의 ‘국립공원 봄 주간 프로그램’ 사전 인지 여부에 따른 만족도 및 재참여의향 차이를 분석한 결과, 국립공원 방문 전 프로그램을 인지한 참가자의 만족도와 재참여의향은 사전에 인지하지 못했던 참가자 보다 만족도와 재참여의향 모두 평균값이 통계적으로 유의하게 높게 나타났다. 국립공원 유형별로 살펴보면, ‘해상·해안형 국립공원’과 ‘사적형 국립공원’ 이 ‘도시형 국립공원’ 보다 만족도와 재참여의향 평균값이 통계적으로 유의하게 높게 나타났다. 프로그램 유형별로 살펴보면, 참가자의 만족도는 ‘전시회’, ‘홍보부스’, ‘캠페인’ 보다 ‘문화공연’과 ‘탐방체험’ 형태가 통계적으로 유의하게 평균값이 높았 고, 재참여의향은 ‘전시회’, ‘홍보부스’ 형태 보다 ‘문화공연’과 ‘탐방체험’에서 평균값이 통계적으로 유의하게 높았다. 본 연구는 향후 국립공원 여름 성수기 외에도 봄과 가을 탐방객 수 증가에 대응한 탐방서비스 개선을 위한 탐방정책 수립을 위한 기초자료로서 활용될 수 있다.

The purpose of this paper is to explore the fishing grounds of trawl fishery, which are operating in the waters around Jeju Island, and to investigate the monthly shifting changes of the explored fishing grounds. Information on AIS of fishing vessels operating near Jeju Island was collected and analyzed from October 16, 2016 to October 16, 2017. Thus, the location of fishing vessels with the same operational characteristics as those in this industry was extracted and displayed on Google Maps' location drawings to analyze the dense distribution of fishing vessels according to the frequency of their appearance. In the distribution of fishing vessels that appeared in October, a wide range of fishing grounds connecting the upper and lower waters of the 221 and 222 sea of fishing area was found to have gradually expanded and increased density, showing the widest range and highest density in December, and then gradually decreasing from January 2017 to near extinction in May. The distribution of fishing vessels that appeared in the left and lower waters of the 243 sea estuary increased not only in November and December, but also in the appearing sea areas gradually moved to the 242 sea and the range of their appearance was extended to the 241 sea. In other words, the highly dense fishing area in December indirectly shows that it is winter fishing grounds for these industries. The distribution of these dense fishing vessels gradually moved north and west with each passing day, reducing their density and reaching a near extinction in August. However, in September, the density was gradually restored again. Fishing vessels that appeared in high density in the northern waters of the 224 sea east of the Yeoseo island in December were thought to be fishing vessels, whose density decreased over time, almost disappeared in May, and reappeared in July and August, showing a certain degree of density, and then decreased again.

본격적인 뉴노멀(New Normal) 시대에 접어들면서 중소기업의 중요성은 더욱 강조되는 추세이다. 우리나라도 경제성장과 일자리 창출을 위하여 중소기업 지원을 강화하고 있으며, 특히 R&D투자와 기술혁신을 촉진하기 위하여 국가연구개발사업과 조세지원제도를 확충하는 등 다양한 정책수단을 강구하고 있다. 하지만 중소기업의 R&D투자를 유인하기 위한 직·간접지원의 효용성에 대해서는 연구자마다 의견이 엇갈리고 있으며, 두 정책수단 간 최적의 조합을 모색하려는 논의는 거의 이루어지지 않고 있는 실정이다. 중소기업 정책의 주 무부처가 격상되었고, 중소기업을 지원하는 정부 R&D투자의 규모가 지속적으로 증가하고 있는 현 시점이 직·간접지원의 정책조합을 비롯한 중장기적 방향성에 대하여 논의할 적기로 판단된다. 본 연구에서는 그간 국내 학계에서 발표되었던 유관 연구 32건을 취합하여 체계적 문헌고찰과 메타분석을 시도하였다. 이러한 작업은 단순히 정부의 정책지원이 중소기업의 자체 R&D투자를 유인하는지 검증하는 수준을 넘어, 그간의 관련 논쟁을 종합하고 실증적으로 정리한다는 의의도 있다. 본 연구의 메타분석 결과, 대기업은 조세지원 위주로, 중소기업은 보조금 위주로 지원하는 것이 효과적이었다. 하지만 현재 우리나라의 중소기업 R&D지원은 직접지원에 대한 비중이 과도하게 높아서 간접지원 비중을 점진적으로 늘릴 필요성이 제기된 다.

PURPOSES: The purpose of this study is to verity the applicability of a portable small-loop electromagnetic survey method to underground cavity detection. METHODS: In order to evaluate applicability of the method, a test bed comprised of four sections was constructed. The two sizes of the four cavities artificially formed at two depths were contained in the test bed. Each cavity was positioned at center of each 6 m long section. Four types of pavement materials such as unpaved ground, bricks, asphalt, and concrete were used at every section. The portable small-loop electromagnetic device measured electrical conductivity as an exploration signal that varied according to the electrical properties underground. The electrical conductivity was converted into two-dimensional electrical resistivity distribution sections using an inverse analysis program. RESULTS : The results showed that the electrical resistivity of the non-cavity area was lower than that of the cavity area. The electrical resistivity increased as the measurement device moved closer to the cavity position. It was also found that the electrical resistivity values were not significantly affected by pavement type. The small cavity with diameter of 35 cm could be detected up to 1.2 m depth. CONCLUSIONS: Therefore, it was verified that the portable small-loop electromagnetic survey method is applicable to the detection of cavities in sections where ground subsidence is expected. This method can be effectively used for small-scale roads such as sidewalks, parkways, and side streets where large exploration equipment cannot enter.

This paper studies the novels of two Indigenous Taiwanese writers; 《绝岛之咒》 wrtieen by Nakao Eki Pacidal, together with 〈失乐园〉 and 〈Matengen〉 written by Si-nan-Matengen. The paper studies these texts from three perspectives, which are the narrative features of myths and folk tales, space and time that appears the text. The two writers broke the standards of what the authors in the Indigenous Movement Generation created for aboriginal literature. Nakao Eki Pacidal broke the stereotype of the indigenous people shown in earlier texts. She also suggested that the indigenous people should not limit themselves as regressive people. Rather, she claims that they should open themselves up towards the globalized world and the diversified environment, and shape their own future through fusion of the aboriginal culture and the present. The sense of time shown in the texts of Si-nan-Matengen has future-oriented characteristics. She presents multidirectional problems that commercialization and protection policies of the aboriginal culture may bring. She suggests that we should have a broader view, going beyond the binary opposition between the indigenous people vs Han ethnics, and tradition vs modernity. By doing so, she suggests that the indigenous people and han ethnics coexist through cooperation.

이 연구는 프랑스의 포경선 리앙쿠르호의 독도발견 이후, 동해탐사와 지도제작의 발전에 기여한 바가 큼에도 불구하고 주목받지 못했던 프랑스 군함 카프리시으즈호의 동해탐사 과정을 고찰한 것이다. 특히, 프랑스 해군성 소속 호끄모헬 함장의 동해탐사와 지도제작 과정을 재조명함으로써 19세기 전반부 동안에 서구 세계의 독도인식과 지도제작 과정을 파악하고자 하였다. 연구결과, 첫째, 당시 정부 측 탐사선과 민간의 포경선 간의 신뢰문제로 인해 리앙쿠르호의 독도발견 사실을 접했음에도 불구하고 호끄모헬 대령은 독도를 지도에 표현하지 않았다. 둘째, 호끄모헬 대령의 동해탐사 결과 기존에 행해진 영국 탐험가들의 탐사내용에 오류가 많은 것으로 드러나 한국 동해안에 대한 재탐사 결정을 내리게 된다. 셋째, 정부기관에서 발행하는 해도는 새로운 정보가 신속하게 반영되었던 반면 민간제작 지도의 업데이트 속도는 현저하게 지연되었다. 넷째, 19세기 전반부 동안에 서구의 탐험가들은 홍콩, 나가사키와 같은 주요 거점 항구에서 만나 최신의 지리정보를 공유하였다.

This study reviews the SERVQUAL model theoretically and statistically in relation to the nonlinearity of the perceived service quality. Perceived service quality measurement based on the SERVQUAL model assumes that consumers evaluate service quality by comparing their perceptions with their expectations. However, previous studies adopt linear factor analysis to discuss the SERVQUAL model. The present study assumes that consumers evaluate the service quality with a standard to admit the difference between their expectations and perceptions, and that their perceived service quality follows a nonlinear response. A nonlinear SERVQUAL model based on a nonlinear factor analysis model is proposed to understand the characteristics. The proposed model employs a threshold specification that represents the space in which consumers admit their discrepancy. The study extends a nonlinear factor analysis model to a nonparametric model in order to examine the functional aspects that from the perceived service quality. A nonparametric SERVQUAL model is adopted without any assumptions of the functional form. The empirical studies on the retail sector shows that the nonlinear model performs better than the linear model, and that the nonparametric model estimates the nonlinear function for perceived service quality. The results from the proposed model in our study provide insights in a consumer’s perceived service quality recognized as nonlinear and asymmetric. We conclude that the functional form for perceived service quality should be considered when specifying the measurement model for SERVQUAL. In addition, we discuss future work for a nonlinear measurement model and a nonparametric factor analysis.

How do consumed objects move through the journey from possession to dispossession? Where do consumers find happiness in this process? Prior research seems to focus on the two extreme ends: on one end, happiness can be found in consumption; on the other end, mindful consumer behaviour such as conscious dispossession has also proven to influence consumer happiness. However, little is known about how the consumed items moving through different stages from ‘possession’ to ‘dispossession,’ and how happiness is generated and influences the decisions during the practices. More importantly, consumption patterns are often heavily influenced by cultural contexts. Focusing on a decluttering approach, KonMari Method, this research aims to yield insights on object-subject relationships beyond what is currently available in the literature via the lens of multicultural comparison. The analysis of 10 English and 10 Mandarin blog narratives reveal that it is an interactive process to redefine the place of an object in one’s heart and one’s house. In line with the prior study, our results suggest that the classifying method and the object-subject relations seem to be an essential element in defining consumer happiness. However, while the KonMari steps are linear with a rigid procedure, depending on participants’ symbolic classification and how flexible it can be, they may experience a different level of challenges; hedonic, eudaimonic and spiritual well-being are differently activated during the decluttering process. Contrary to the previous belief that organizing can be daunting and tedious, the setup of the KonMari method creates an extraordinary experience that often results in a high level of happiness activated differently in the Eastern and Western cultures. In particular, Western English speaking consumers mostly experience a feeling of excitement. For Eastern Mandarin speaking consumers, the peacefulness of the experience is underlined.

While market orientation is long evident to be a key contributor to firm performance (Narver & Slater, 1990; Jaworski & Kohli, 1993), firms now increasingly find that proactive market orientation (Narver, Slater & Maclachlan, 2004) may be more appropriate for the rapidly changing market. Not only can it contribute to new product development success, it is proposed that it can enhance the ability to market which is labeled marketing exploration (Kyriakopoulos & Moorman, 2004). In this study, we posited proactive market orientation together with the original market orientation named here responsive market orientation as essential to developing a firm’s marketing exploration capability. As marketing competences reside in the everyday routines and practice related to the marketing function, marketing exploration enables one to update the ability to perform various marketing tasks which is essential capability of the firm to get ahead of the competition. Entrepreneurial orientation is also introduced as a mediating factor between the above relationships with the argument that such posture is related to a firm’s propensity to innovate, take risk and be proactive (Lumpkin & Dess, 1996) which is related to a proactive market orientation. A survey was carried out in China and results show that proactive market orientation is positively related to marketing exploration while responsive market orientation has positive impact on marketing exploration only through entrepreneurial orientation. Marketing exploration in turn positively impact firm performance. Results of this study contribute theoretically in revitalizing the market orientation literature which has been research for almost three decades. While leading customers with a proactive market orientation is getting more salient in this rapidly changing market environment, the original market orientation cannot be ignored. Both orientations are essential to enhance firms’ ability to renew their marketing skills and routines. This is definitely more important than just coming up with new products/services as it enables firms to update its marketing knowledge and skills so is crucial to long term performance.

The Breakfast Club of the Seoul Metropolitan Government aims to provide breakfast and nutrition education to students who require need breakfast. This study was conducted to explore the experience of changes at the individual and environmental levels among high-school participants of the Breakfast Club. The qualitative data were collected from 20 high school students (10 boys and 10 girls) via a focus group interview at each school. Experienced improvement and suggested future tasks from the experience of the Breakfast Club were categorized at three levels (themes): personal factors, school environmental factors, and home environmental factors. The health belief, knowledege, awareness, and perception of effects of the participants showed improvement but the personal barriers need to be improved. At the school level, peer influence and school food policies were improved but some aspects of availability and accessibility for breakfast, and social norms need to be improved. The factors related to the home environment, such as family influence, and availability and accessibility for breakfast were better after the program. The Breakfast Club changed not only personal behaviors but also the family and school environments.

The US Space Resource Exploration and Utilization Act 2015 aroused heated discussions. The international community has not yet reached consensus on the application of the concept of “common heritage of mankind” in the Moon Agreement. In accordance with the non-appropriation principle in the Outer Space Treaty, outer space is not subject to national appropriation. However, there is a need to balance the common interests of the international society and the interests of the States and private entities which invest heavily in the space resource exploration. The unilateral approach of the US by adopting a national law is not an ideal way to deal with space resource exploration. As a major space-faring nation, China should take a proactive approach in both national legislation and international cooperation in this field. At the international level, China should consider establishing an appropriate international regime for space resource management.

In the area around Jeju Island, the squid jigging fishery and the hair-tail angling are popular. Therefore, the study on the characteristics of the formation and shift of fishing grounds is very important. We have received and analyzed AIS data of all vessels around Jeju Island from October 16, 2016 to October 16, 2017, and extracted the positions of the fishing vessels with the same operational characteristics as the fishing vessels of their fisheries. The distribution chart of the frequency of fishing vessels appearing in each predefined fishing grid (1 NM × 1 NM) was analyzed. So we took a analogy with the monthly shift of fishing grounds. Many fishing vessels appeared in the seas around Jeju Island from November 2016 to January 2017, and the frequency of their appearance was maintained. In November, however, fishing vessels were mostly concentrated in coastal waters. Yet, the density gradually weakened as they moved into January. From February, the frequency itself began to decline, making it the worst in April. The high concentration of fishing vessels in the waters leading from Jeju Island's northwest coast to south coast in November is believed to be related to the yellowtail fishery that are formed annually in the coastal waters off the island of Marado. In May 2017, the appearance frequency of fishing vessels increased and began to show a concentration in coastal waters around Jeju Island. Fishing vessels began to flock in waters northwest of Jeju Island beginning in July and peaked in August, and by September, fishing vessels were moving south along the coast of Jeju Island, weakening the density and spreading out. Between July and August, fishing vessels were concentrated in waters surrounding Jeju Island, which is believed to be related to the operations of fishing vessels for the squid jigging fishery and the hair-tail angling.
