Barona-Julian A,Ki-Chan Nam,Chang-Hoon Shin,Jae-Young Song 한국항해항만학회 2005 한국항해항만학회지 Vol.29 No.2

The purpose of this study is to explore the concept of a logistics hub, identify key factors and milestones for its development, and give some recommendations and implications to developing countries. For this the countries competing to be Logistics hub in Northeast Asia (NEA), such as South Korea, Japan and China, are taken into consideration. These countries have under its priority policies the development of a logistics hub vision to become the central area of the region achieving microeconomic and macroeconomic prosperity. Based on the review of the relevant literature, five factors came up as key determinants for the development of a hub project: 1. Logistics services support and infrastructure. 2. Business environment. 3. Economic determinants. 4. Political support and 5. Access to international markets. These are going to be analyzed together with its different variables, using statistical methods.

ARBITRATION AND ADR, COMPONENTS OF THE NEW PARADIGM OF THE JUSTICE IN THE MODERNITY

SILVIA BARONA VILAR 동아대학교 법학연구소 2019 國際去來와 法 Vol.- No.24

Arbitration is a piece of the new conception of Justice. The legislators have changed the rules of arbitration and there is a sort of uniform Act of global arbitration. CNUDMI Act is the protagonist of this metamorphosis. With some contractual and jurisdictional elements arbitration is arbitration and this is its real legal nature. Two fundamental elements constitute its essence. The freedom and autonomy of the parties, on the one side, and the exercise of the function of the arbitrators and its effects, on the other. There is not arbitration without them.

Creativity is an ever-increasing research area related to fashion design, namely the documentation and dissemination of creative scholarship. The purpose of this project is to apply creative bridge or creative leap theory to the development of an existing designer’s garment collection using the creative design process of an architect. A single case study design was used to investigate the phenomenon of design process creative leap using a direct observation. Results indicate the difficult challenge of producing new and individualized silhouettes for the marketability of clothing, it is apparent that new methods of fostering creativity in designers through non-traditional approaches would benefit the education of apparel designers. Through targeted design practice, educators and practitioners can apply the principles of scientific inquiry into design processes to solve a problem, address a challenge, or create based on personal inspirations.

대륙법의 법원 체제에서는, 민사재판의 틀 안에서 적용 모형을 독점하는 것이 현실이었다. 민사재판은 '공공 서비스' 라는 계획과 관련된 절차로 정의되었다. 그러나 세계화에 따라 21세기에 접어들면서 큰 변화가 야기되었고, 세계화된 사회가 등장하면서 사법체계는 가정화가 아닌 효율과 효율의 기준 및 통일화로 나아가는 경향으로 이동하고 있다. 그리고, 이에 덧붙여, 점차적으로 새로운 법률 집행자들은 공증인, 등록원, 중재인 등과 같이 사법적 기능을 하는, 현재는 외주화된 20세기의 독점적인 관할권에 대한 몇 가지 기능을 통합한다. 그들은 고전적인 법률 체계의 일부가 아니었다. 권력 구조와 같은 국가에 의하여 설립된 자유로운 재판의 오래된 패러다임과, 정치 주체, 시민의 권리를 보장은 동일한 국가가 그들의 주권의 일부를 포기하는 다른 시나리오로 진행되고 있다. 이제 이러한 과정은 유일한 방법이 아니며 판사는 대법관의 세계에서서 유일한 법 집행자가 아니다. 대체적분쟁해결(ADR)이 그 일부인, 민법에 대한 '거대개념' 이 등장하였다. 이는 관할권과 대체적분쟁해결을 다방면의 사법체계로 통합한다. 대체적분쟁해결은 사법적 조치의 회피를 허용하는 사법 제도와 사법절차가 공존하는 다원적 및 세계적 관점인 21세기 법무부의 새로운 관점에 기여한다. 그러나 여기에는 정부가 이러한 법원과 대체적분쟁해결 매커니즘간의 통합에 대해 경제적 기반의 비전을 가지 수 있다는 중요한 위험요소가 있고, 또한 공공 경비가 줄어들 우려가 있다. 이러한 배려는 나쁘다고 할 수는 없지만, 사법에 대해 논하는 것이 위험해질 소지가 있다. 정부는 더 적은 비용으로 더 많은 효율성을 추구할 수 있고, 이는 빈부격차를 초래할 우려가 있다. In continental court System the monopolization of the process model within the framework of Civil Justice has been a reality. Civil justice was identified with the Process, linked to the idea of "public service". But the great transformations of the 21st Century have been provoked by Globalization. A global and globalized society emerges, in which Justice systems are moving with efficacy and efficien cycriteria and with a tendency toward harmonization, if not homegenenization. And, added to this, gradually new legal actors have been incorporating some functions that in the 20th century were of the exclusive jurisdiction of the State are now outsourced, such as notaries, registrars, mediators, arbitrators, etc appear and have a function in Justice. They were not part of the classical structure of Justice. The old paradigm of liberal justice, established by the State as a power structure, as a political entity, and guarantor of the rights of its citizens, is giving way to a different scenario in which the same States are giving up part of their sovereignty. Now the process is not the only way and judges are not only actors in the world of Justice. It is emerged a "megaconcept" of civil justice, in which ADR is a part of it. So, it integrates Jurisdiction and ADR, as a sort of Multi-door-Justice System. ADR methods contribute to a new perspective of Justice of the 21th century, a plural and global perspective, in which judicial process coexist with extrajudicial mechanisms that in some cases permit the avoidance of judicial actions and, in others, simply reduce them. However, there is an important risk: governments can have an economically driven vision of this integration between courts and ADR mechanisms. Public expenses could be reduced. This consideration is not bad, but could be dangerous if we are talki ng about Justice. The governments could seek more efficiency at a lesser cost and this would result in a gap between rich and poor.

College students’ acceptance of online mass-customized athletic shoes

Yuli Liang,Chuanlan Liu,Lisa Barona McRoberts 한국의류학회 2017 Fashion and Textiles Vol.4 No.1

This research intends to understand the acceptance of online mass-customized athletic shoes among college students through applying the theory of reasoned action with a focus on whether utilitarian value and need for uniqueness influence favorable attitude formation differently. The questionnaires were distributed to 260 college students in a major southeastern US university using extra class credit as participation incentive. SPSS 23.0 and SPSS Amos 23 were used in data analysis. Structural equation modeling with a path comparison were used to assess construct validity and test the proposed hypotheses and conceptual framework. Results showed that college students’ acceptance and purchase intention could be predicted by attitudes and subjective norm. In addition to perceived security of the online environment, utilitarian value and need for uniqueness equally facilitated formation of favorable attitude toward acceptance of online mass-customized athletic shoes among college students. Theoretical and practical implications, as well as the limitations of the study are further discussed.

Sustainable mold biomachining for the manufacturing of microfluidic devices

Arrate Santaolalla,Yara Alvarez-Braña,Astrid Barona,Lourdes Basabe-Desmonts,Fernando Benito-Lopez,Naiara Rojo 한국공업화학회 2023 Journal of Industrial and Engineering Chemistry Vol.120 No.-

Biomachining has been investigated as a sustainable and effective alternative to conventional prototypingtechniques for molding polymeric materials for their subsequent use as microfluidic devices. A noveland simple process based on the combination of a Pressure Sensitive Adhesive mask and a varnish hasbeen proposed for preparing metal workpieces as an alternative to photolithography, with the latterbeing the most widely used technique for protecting workpieces. As far as the bioprocess is concerned,it has been applied in successive mold-etching and oxidant bio-regeneration stages. Metal solubilizationhas proven to be repeatable in several consecutive mold-etching stages when using the regenerated oxidantsolution. As a result, the lifespan of the biomachining medium has been prolonged, contributing toprocess sustainability. An equation with two restrictions has been proposed to predict the time requiredto obtain a mold with a fixed height, as metal solubilization evolves differently between the first and subsequenthours. Finally, the bio-engraved copper pieces have acted as effective molds in the fabrication ofself-powered polydimethylsiloxane microfluidic devices. This new biomachining application is thereforean effective and ecofriendly process for producing microfluidic devices.

Low HDL cholesterol is associated with increased atherogenic lipoproteins and insulin resistance in women classified with metabolic syndrome

Fernandez, Maria Luz,Jones, Jennifer J.,Ackerman, Daniela,Barona, Jacqueline,Calle, Mariana,Comperatore, Michael V.,Kim, Jung-Eun,Andersen, Catherine,Leite, Jose O.,Volek, Jeff S.,McIntosh, Mark,Kalyn The Korean Nutrition Society 2010 Nutrition Research and Practice Vol. No.

Both metabolic syndrome (MetS) and elevated LDL cholesterol (LDL-C) increase the risk for cardiovascular disease (CVD). We hypothesized that low HDL cholesterol (HDL-C) would further increase CVD risk in women having both conditions. To assess this, we recruited 89 women with MetS (25-72 y) and LDL-C ${\geq}$ 2.6 mmol/L. To determine whether plasma HDL-C concentrations were associated with dietary components, circulating atherogenic particles, and other risk factors for CVD, we divided the subjects into two groups: high HDL-C (H-HDL) (${\geq}$ 1.3 mmol/L, n=32) and low HDL-C (L-HDL) (< 1.3 mmol/L, n=57). Plasma lipids, insulin, adiponectin, apolipoproteins, oxidized LDL, Lipoprotein(a), and lipoprotein size and subfractions were measured, and 3-d dietary records were used to assess macronutrient intake. Women with L-HDL had higher sugar intake and glycemic load (P< 0.05), higher plasma insulin (P< 0.01), lower adiponectin (P< 0.05), and higher numbers of atherogenic lipoproteins such as large VLDL (P < 0.01) and small LDL (P<0.001) than the H-HDL group. Women with L-HDL also had larger VLDL and both smaller LDL and HDL particle diameters (P<0.001). HDL-C was positively correlated with LDL size (r=0.691, P<0.0001) and HDL size (r=0.606, P<0.001), and inversely correlated with VLDL size (r=-0.327, P<0.01). We concluded that L-HDL could be used as a marker for increased numbers of circulating atherogenic lipoproteins as well as increased insulin resistance in women who are already at risk for CVD.
