Yang Sok Kim,Kyunga Na,Young-Hee Kang 강원대학교 경영경제연구소 2021 Asia-Pacific Journal of Business Vol.12 No.4

Purpose - The purpose of this study is to predict corporate corruption in emerging markets such as Brazil, Russia, India, and China (BRIC) using different machine learning techniques. Since corruption is a significant problem that can affect corporate performance, particularly in emerging markets, it is important to correctly identify whether a company engages in corrupt practices. Design/methodology/approach - In order to address the research question, we employ predictive analytic techniques (machine learning methods). Using the World Bank Enterprise Survey Data, this study evaluates various predictive models generated by seven supervised learning algorithms: k-Nearest Neighbour (k-NN), Naïve Bayes (NB), Decision Tree (DT), Decision Rules (DR), Logistic Regression (LR), Support Vector Machines (SVM), and Artificial Neural Network (ANN). Findings - We find that DT, DR, SVM and ANN create highly accurate models (over 90% of accuracy). Among various factors, firm age is the most significant, while several other determinants such as source of working capital, top manager experience, and the number of permanent full-time employees also contribute to company corruption. Research implications or Originality - This research successfully demonstrates how machine learning can be applied to predict corporate corruption and also identifies the major causes of corporate corruption.

목적 : 제일제당에서는 녹농균의 세포외막 단밸질을 유효성분으로 하는 백신인 CFC-101을 개발하였으며, 동물시험에서 이 백신의 안전성과 유효성을 입증하였다. 본 연구에서는 이 녹농균 백신의 인체에 대한 안전성과 면역원성을 평가하는 동시에 인체 접종시의 최적 투여 용량을 결정하기 위하여 제 I/Ⅱa상 임상시험을 수행하였다. 방법 : 건강한 성인 남자를 피험자로 선별하여 각 용량군에 백신투여자 6명, 위약투여자 2명을 배정하였다. 백신 투여군은 0.25mg, 0.5mg 또는 1.0mg 용량의 녹농균 백신을 7일 간격으로 3회에 걸쳐 근육주사 하였으며, 위약 투여군에게는 세포외막 단백질을 제외한 동일한 성분을 투여하였다. 백신접종 후 국소적 또는 전신적인 반응의 발생여부를 관찰하고, 혈액시료를 체취하여 백신의 역가와 유효성을 검정하였다. 결과 : 녹농균 백신 CFC-101은 모든 접종자에서 양호한 내약성을 보였다. 또한 0.5mg 과 1.0mg 백신 투여군에서는 100%의 항체양전율을 나타내었다. 생성된 항체는 녹농균 세포외막단백질에 특이성을 보였고, 녹농균 감염에 대해 방어효능이 있었다. 결론 : 이와같은 결과로부터 이 녹농균 백신은 인체에 안전하게 투여할 수 있으며, 높은 항체 생성능으로 감염방어 효능을 보이고 0.5mg과 1.0mg이 최적용량인 것으로 판단되었다. Background : We developed a Pseudomonas aeruginosa outer membrane protein(OMP) vaccine CFC-101, and the prophylactic efficacy of which has been demonstrated in animal models. In order to evaluate the safety and immunogenicity of the P. aeruginosa vaccine, we carried out a phase I/Ⅱa clinical trial in healthy male volunteers. Methods : Groups of eight volunteers, including two placebo subjects, were vaccinated intramuscularly with three doses of 0.25, 0.5 or 1.0 mg of the vaccine at one week intervals. Sings of systemic and local reactions observed after vaccination were recorded for each vaccinee for 5 days. Physical examinations were performed on days 0, 1, 7, 8, 14, 15, 21, and 42, and clinical laboratory tests were done on days 0, 3, and 21. Blood samples for assay of serum antibody levels were obtained up to 42 days after the first vaccination. Results : The vaccine was generally well tolerated by all vaccinees, showing no significant side effects. In the three dosage groups, all vaccinees, except one receiving the 0.25 mg dose, showed significant elevation in serum IgG antibody titers against the vaccine proteins, indicating 100% seroconversion in 0.5 and 1.0 mg groups. The human antibodies induced by the vaccine were specific for P. aeruginosa OMPs, as confirmed by western blot analysis and immunoprecipitation assays. The capacity of the human antisera to enhance opsonophagocytic killing activity by polymorphonuclear leukocytes and to confer protection against P. aeruginosa infections indicates that the antibodies elicited by the vaccine have protective efficacy. Conclusion : We conclude that the P. aeruginosa OMP vaccine is safe and effective for human use and its optimal dose to be 0.5 or 1.0 mg.

이호섭,탁희상,신성훈,김양수,남성진,김혜수,박진희,정수현,김성빈,김예나 고신대학교 의과대학 2010 고신대학교 의과대학 학술지 Vol.25 No.1

배경 : 헤르페스바이러스과에는 단순포진 바이러스(HERPES SIMPLEX VIRUS, HSV), 수두대상포진 바이러스 (VARICELLA-ZOSTER VIRUS, VZV), 엡스타인-바 바이러스 (EPSTEIN-BARR VIRUS, EBV), 그리고 거대세포 바이러스 (CYTOMEGALOVIRUS, CMV) 등이 있다. 헤르페스바이러스 감염은 혈액암환자에서 조혈모세포 이식 환자에서 전파 (dissemination), 이차감염, 세균 중복 감염의 심각한 합병증을 일으킬 수 있다. 하지만 항암약물치료를 받는 림파종 환자에서 항 바이러스 약제의 사용 용량과 기간에 대한 concensus는 없다. 헤르페스바이러스 감염에 대한 발생율과 위험인자를 후향성으로 분석하였다. 방법 : 고신대학교 복음 병원에서 1995년 6월부터 2009 년 2월 사이에 새롭게 진단되어 조혈모세포 이식을 받은 전체 58명의 환자들이 후향적으로 현 연구에 등록했다. 헤르페스 바이러스 감염은 임상적 진단, 혈청학적 검사 또는 병리학적 진단에 기초하여 확진한다. 환자들의 특성은 다음과 같다: 평균 연령은 44세 (범위 19-62세)였고 남녀비는 30:28이었다. 등록된 질환은 백혈병 (n=9, 15.5%), 림프종 (n=30, 51.7%), 다발성 골수종 (n=12, 20.7%), 재생불량성 빈혈 (n=6, 10.3%) 그리고 골수이형성증후군 (n=1, 1.7%)이 포함되었다. 결과는 chi-squre test나 independent samples T test를 사용하여 분석되었다. Multivariate analysises에 대해 logistic regression test를 사용하였다. 결과 : 15명의 환자들 (25.9%)에서 조혈모세포 이식후 헤르페스 바이러스 감염이 발생하였다. 조혈모세포 이식 5년간 누적 발생율은 53.9%였다. Univariate analyses에서 헤르페스 바이러스 감염에 대한 유의한 위험 인자는 없었다. 하지만 조혈모세포 이식후 생존 기간(40.18 ± 30.14 months vs 20.06 ± 26.67 months, p=0.018)은 헤르페스 바이러스 감염의 낮은 발병율과 유의한 관련성이 있었다. 이식 편대 숙주질환 (GVHD)의 존재 (37.5% in developed GVHD vs 0% in no GVHD, p=0.200), 동종조혈 모세포 이식에서 면역억제요법의 기간 (15.98 ± 14.02 months vs 6.78 ± 3.67 months, p = 0.374)은 헤르페스 바이러스 감염에 대한 위험인자가 아니었다. 결론 : 조혈모세포 이식 후 생존 기간은 어사이클로비어 예방을 받은 혈액암 환자에서 헤르페스 바이러스 감염의 낮은 발병율과 연관성이 있는 것으로 보인다. 저용량의 어사이클로비어 예방은 헤르페스 바이러스 감염의 고위험군인 조혈모세포 이식을 받은 혈액암 환자에 필요하리라 생각된다. Background : Herpesviridae family includes herpes simplex virus, varicella zoster virus, Epstein-Barr virus, and cytomegalovirus, etc. Herpesviridae viral infection (HVI) can lead to serious complications including dissemination, secondary infection, bacterial superinfection in patients with hematologic malignancy following hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). But there was no consensus on the dose and duration of antiviral agents prophylaxis in patients undergoing chemotherapy. We retrospectively analyzed the incidence and the risk factors for HVI. Method : A total of 58 patients who newly diagnosed and received HSCT with prophylaxis of acyclovir at the Kosin University Gospel Hospital, Busan, Korea between June 1995 and February 2009 were enrolled retrospectively in the current study. HVI was confirmed based on clinical diagnosis, serologic test or pathologic diagnosis. The characteristics of the patients were as follows: the median age was 44 years (range 19-62 years) with a female-to-male ratio of 30:28. The enrolled diseases included leukemia (n=9, 15.5%), lymphoma (n=30, 51.7%), multiple myeloma (n=12, 20.7%), aplastic anemia (n=6, 10.3%) and myelodysplastic syndrome (n=1, 1.7%). The results were analyzed using a chi-square test and independent samples T test. For the multivariate analysis, we used logistic regression test. Results : Fifteen patients (25.9%) developed HVI after HSCT. The cumulative incidence of HVI was 53.8% at 5 years after HSCT. In univariate analysis, there was no significant risk factor for HVI. The presence of graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) (37.5% in developed GVHD vs. 0% in no GVHD, p=0.200), duration of immunosuppressive therapy (IST) in allo-SCT (15.98 ± 14.02 months vs. 6.78 ± 3.67 months, p = 0.374) were not risk factors for HVI. Conclusion : The incidence of HVI was similar to that in historical other studies. There was no risk factor associated with development of HVI. Most of the HVI occurred within the first 24 months after transplantation. So long term use of antiviral prophylaxis may be needed to prevention of HVI after HSCT.

<P><B>Abstract</B></P> <P>Surface-driven charge storage materials based on both electrochemical double layer (EDL) formation and pseudocapacitive behavior can deliver high energy and power capabilities with long-lasting cycling performance. On the other hand, the electrochemical performance is strongly dependent on the material properties, requiring sophisticated electrode design with a high active surface area and a large number of redox-active sites. In this study, hierarchically nanoporous pyropolymer nanofibers (HN-PNFs) were fabricated from electrospun polyacrylonitrile nanofibers by simple heating with KOH. The HN-PNFs have a hierarchically nanoporous structure and an exceptionally high specific surface area of 3,950.7m<SUP>2</SUP> g<SUP>−1</SUP> as well as numerous redox-active heteroatoms (C/O and C/N ratio of 10.6 and 16.8, respectively). These unique material properties of HN-PNFs resulted in high reversible Na-ion capacity of ∼292mAhg<SUP>−1</SUP> as well as rapid kinetics and stable cycling performance in the cathodic potential range (1-4.5V vs. Na<SUP>+</SUP>/Na). Furthermore, energy storage devices based on HN-PNFs showed a remarkably high specific energy of ∼258 Wh kg<SUP>−1</SUP> at ∼245Wkg<SUP>−1</SUP> as well as a high specific power of ∼21,500Wkg<SUP>−1</SUP> at ∼78 Wh kg<SUP>−1</SUP>, with long and stable cycling behaviors over 2,000 cycles.</P> <P><B>Highlights</B></P> <P> <UL> <LI> Hierarchically nanoporous pyropolymer nanofibers (HN-PNFs) were fabricated. </LI> <LI> HN-PNFs have a high specific surface area of ∼3,950m<SUP>2</SUP> g<SUP>−1</SUP> and numerous heteroatoms. </LI> <LI> HN-PNFs exhibit high capacities of ∼292mAhg<SUP>−1</SUP> and great rate/cycling performances. </LI> <LI> High energy (258Whkg<SUP>−1</SUP>) and high power (21,500Wkg<SUP>−1</SUP>) are achieved. </LI> </UL> </P> <P><B>Graphical abstract</B></P> <P>Hierarchically nanoporous pyropolymer nanofibers (HN-PNFs) fabricated from electrospun polyacrylonitrile nanofibers by simple heating with KOH exhibited high electrochemical performance for Na-ion storage.</P> <P>[DISPLAY OMISSION]</P>

김나미,박명한,전병선,박채규,양재원 한국식품영양학회 1999 韓國食品營養學會誌 Vol.12 No.2

알긴을 액상제품에 이용하기 위하여 algin의 농도와 수용액의 pH, 온도 변화에 의한 algin의 유동특성과 산미제, 감미제, 기타 첨가물이 algin의 점성에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. 알긴 용액은 회전속도가 동일할 때는 농도가 높을수록 점도가 증가하였고 0.4% 농도까지는 dilatant형, 0.5% 이상에서는 pseudoplastic형 유체의 특성을 나타냈다. 알긴 용액의 pH가 5.5일 때 점도가 가장 높았고 pH 5.5 이하에서는 산성일수록 점도가 낮아졌으며, pH 7.0 이상에서는 점도의 변화가 없었다. 온도가 낮을수록 점도가 높았고, 가열함에 따라 용해시간이 단축되었으며 80℃이상의 가열에 의하여 점도가 다소 낮아졌다. 산미제에 의해 알긴의 점도는 pH 의존적으로 pH 3.2∼3.3에서 점도가 가장 낮았고 pH 3.0 이하에서는 gel이 형성되었다. 감미제는 알긴 용액의 점도에 영향을 주지 않았다. 무기염류 중 NaCl과 KCl은 점도를 감소시켰으며 MgCl_2와 CaCl_2는 점도를 증가시켰고, FeCl_3 첨가는 점도 증가효과가 커서 0.1% 첨가에 의햐여 gel이 형성되었다. 아미노산 중 glutamic acid는 1.0% 첨가 시에 점도 감소효과가 있었으며 다른 아미노산은 변화를 나타내지 않았다. In order to obtain data for use of algin in drink making process, solution properties of algin have been investigated at various condition of algin concentration, temperature, pH and various food additives. At same revolution velosity, viscosities of algin were increased as algin concentration raised. Algin solution showed dilatant type flow in concentration of 0.25% to 0.4%, but pseudoplastic type flow in above 0.5%. A maximum viscosity of algin was observed at pH 5.5 ad its viscosities were also decreased as the temperature increased and heating at 80℃ above. Organic acids affected on the viscosity of algin with pH dependently, and gel formed in pH below 3.0. Sweetners have no effect to the viscosity of algin. However, addition of NaCl and KCl upto 1.0% decreased a little its viscosity and CaCl_2, MgCl_2 and FeCl_3 increased the viscosity of algin. Glutamic acid decreased the viscosity of algin.

김나미,박명한,전병선,박채규,양재원 한국식품영양학회 1999 韓國食品營養學會誌 Vol.12 No.5

다시마 추출액의 향미와 물성을 개선하기 위하여 볶음처리에 의한 품질변화를 조사하고 최적 볶음조건을 선정하였다. 추출액의 상징액율과 고형분수율 및 조단백질 수율은 볶음온도와 시간이 증가할수록 높아졌다. Algin의 함량은 볶음온도 175℃에서 가장 높았고,회분의 함량은 볶음온도가 증가할수록 많아졌다. 추출액의 점도는 볶음온도와 시간이 증가함에 따라 낮아졌으며 175℃, 10분 볶음처리할 때 점도 감소가 뚜렷하였다. 추출액 의 pH는 볶음온도 150℃까지는 다소 낮아지는 경향이었으며 175℃ 이상의 볶음처리 시 볶음온도와 시간이 증가함에 따라 다소 높아졌다. 볶음온도와 시간이 증가함에 따라 명도(L값)은 감소하였고, 적색도(a값)과 황색도(b값)은 증가하다가 a값은 200℃ 15분처리, b값은 175℃, 30분 처리 이후에서 각각 감소되기 시작하였다. 다시마 추출액의 냄새는 175℃에서 볶음처리하였을 때 고소한 냄새가 크게 증가하고 메스꺼운 냄새가 뚜렷하게 감소되어 전체적인 기호도가 가장 높았다. 구수한 맛과 해조맛은 175℃에서 고소한 맛이 증가되면서 메스꺼운 맛이 뚜렷하게 감소되었고 200℃ 이상에서는 탄맛이 많아져 전체적인 맛의 기호도는 175℃에서 가장 좋은 것으로 평가되었다. 이상의 결과를 종 합하여 볼 때 다시마를 175℃에서 10분간 볶음처리하는 것이 다시마 추출액에서 좋지 않은 향미를 개선하고 점성을 감소시키기에 적합하였다. Roasting conditions for improvement of viscosity and sensory properties of sea tangle extracts were investigated. The supernatant %, solid yield and crude protein yield were increased by increasing of roasting temperature and times. The highest contents of algin was obtained in roasting temperature of 175℃, ash contents were increased by roasting temperature increasing. Viscosities of sea tangle extract were significantly decreased by increasing of roasting temperature and time upto 175℃ and 10 mins more than further roasting conditions. The pH of sea tangle extracts slightly decreased from 5.94 to 5.83 in the roasting of 150℃, however, at temperature more than 175℃, its pH was increased by increasing of temperature and time. According to increase of roasting temperature and time, Lightness (L value) were significantly decreased and redness (a value) and yellowness (b value) reached the highest value in the roasting of 200℃, 15 min. or 175℃, 30 min. and after that, its value were decreased. The odor characteristics showed that sea tangle extract prepared by roasting of 175℃, 10 min. was significantly low in intensity of nauseous odor and high in intensity of roasted odor and acceptability. The taste characteristics showed that sea tangle extract prepared by roasting of 175℃, 10mins was slightly reduced in intensity of savory and seaweed taste but significantly low in intensity of nauseous taste and high in intensity of roasted taste and acceptability. Overall data suggested 175℃, 10 min. was the most effective roasting conditions for improvement of viscosity and sensory properties of sea tangle extract.

This experiment was carried out to investigate the effects of overhead irrigation of Ethrel on after-ripening of kiwi fruit, and to improve marketability and decrease operating cost as to ripen kiwi fruit at the stage of consumption. In 1994, the eight-year-old Hayward which were planted in farm field at Haenam Okchen were treated with 100ppm, 150ppm and 200ppm overhead irrigation of ethephon on September 25, September 30 and October 5 respectively. In 1995, the nine-year-old Hayward which were planted in windbreak net house at Moonlae Haenam were treated with 40, 70 and 100ppm overhead irrigation of Ethephon on October 5, October 10 and October 15 respectively. As the result of at 10 and 20 days after treatment, in 1994, the firmness was much low as to show 0.8 to 0.95kg at 10 days after treatment, 0.2 to 0.33kg at 20 days after treatment. And sduble solid content was 10.6 to 11.7˚ Bx and abscission rate was 10.3 to 35.9%. Therefore, the marketability were tended to be showed low. In 1995, as that firmness was 3.2 to 3.7kg, last soluble solid content after harvesting was 13.8 to 14.0˚ Bx and abscission rate was 0%, there was no problems in marketability and marketing. Therefore, this results were demonstrated that the treatment after October 10 in 70 to 100ppm ethephon can be improved marketability and marketing of kiwifruit.
