Government Intervention in the Transfer of Technology: the case of South Korea

SUMMARY The development of South Korea's petrochemical industry has relied heavily on foreign technology. The remarkable success of the industry in a short period of time is mainly due to persistent government intervention at all stages. The efficacy of this intervention is due, in turn, to ‘patriotism’ and ‘the primacy of government’ . This article illustrates a method for assessing the impact of government intervention — by comparing the development of a particular industry in several countries, all of which have adopted identical techniques from the same supplier. RESUMEN Intervención gubernamental en la transferencia technológica: el caso de Corea del Sur El desarrollo de la industria petroquímica en este país se ha basado fuertemente en la tecnología foránea. El notable éxito experimentado en un corto período de tiempo se debe principalmente a la persistente intervención estatal en todas las etapas. A su vez, la eficacia de esta proviene del ‘patriotismo’ y de la ‘primacía’ gubernamentales. Este articulo describe un método para evaluar el impacto de la intervención gubernamental, que consiste en la comparación del desarrollo de una industria determinada en varios países, que adoptaron idénticas técnicas procedentes del mismo proveedor. RESUMES L'Intervention gouvernementale dans le transfert de la technologie: le cas de la Corée du Sud Le développement de l'industrie pétrochimique en Corée du Sud s'est grandement appuyé sur la technologie étrangère. Le succès remarquable de l'industrie dans une courte période de temps est dû principalement à l'intervention continue de l'état à tous les niveaux. L'efficacité de cette intervention est due, en retour, au patriotisme’ et à la ‘primauté gouvernementale’ . Cet article démontre une méthode pour calculer l'impact de l'intervention gouvernementale — en comparant le développement de certaines industries dans plusieurs pays, qui ont toutes adoptées des techniques identiques à partir du même fournisseur

Utah State Women’s Soccer Pre-Game Rituals from 2009-2012

Nano: In the locker room we would always listen to music—I think a couple girls my age were the DJ’s but we would always listen to “Man in the Mirror” by Michael Jackson that was a must. [laughing at herself] Mealii: That’s crazy we still do that. N: I think it’s passed down from us. [yeah, laughing] yeah so that’s a must and then, girls would have, it’d be Ashlyn and Kami and Genie having dance parties, or battles one of the two it was freakin funny… I would always have someone throw me headers, from rather large distances [laughing] so, um, and then I would I had to get at least a few good headers back but, that was like my thing, so if the girl who wasn’t, who was throwing to me wasn’t available or like was doing something else one of the coaches would come cause they all always knew that I had to do it. And then we would pray as a team around the center—er around the corner flag. M: We still do that too N: Yeah I’m glad that hasn’t dropped [that’s way cool] um and we would always cross our hands and hold hands like that [crosses arms and with palms facing up] [unintelligible] and then, um, the seniors would say a little something and then one of those people would do the cheer and then we’d— M: What would you guys cheer? N: Um. I think it was just ‘Aggies’ what do you guys cheer. [same] yeah I don’t think it was a set thing… then we’d cheer all together as a team and then we always met as a starting eleven in the middle, and depending on the year was whoever spoke. I think I often spoke just cause I was kind of like the defensive captain the entire time I was here. M: So usually just one person would talk? N: Yeah, in the middle well, maybe two. But it was just like ‘hey guys this is what we wanna do lets do this thing’ kind of and, one year we all had our right feet in whenever that was happening, and then one year we all switched to our left, and then one year we all had our arms around each other. Then we’d always cheer ‘team’ for the middle [desk chair squeaking]… oh and before the game started we would always lay out our jerseys on the bench. Note: The interview goes on for much longer, but I wanted to focus specifically on pre-game rituals during warm-up with the team. Also, some of the things she talked about did not necessarily qualify as folklore as they were just things she did by herself. She talks a little bit about individual handshakes she had with people and pre-game snacks, and I did not include that. When I cut out some of these things it is indicated in the text by an ellipsis

Implementation of Tracking System for Sexual Assault Kits in South Dakota

The average number of sexual assaults occurring in South Dakota from 2012 thru 2017 was 759. Yet, there is no data collection system to track sexual assault exam kits. The main aspects of this paper are identifying the issue of sexual assault exam data collection in South Dakota and providing possible solutions to this issue. The recommendations provided are based off of a national review and analysis of successful programs currently in practice in other states, as well as public health theories for implementation of a new product or innovation. The process of how the national review was carried out is provided along with its successes and failures. No program is perfect, but the state of Idaho is pioneering in implementing a statewide sexual assault kit exam tracking system that is successfully catalyzing change. It is a free program designed to be shared with other public entities and with the capability to be modified to best fit the needs of the respective adopting agency. South Dakota is beginning at ground zero and would benefit from adopting the model that has been developed in Idaho. Idaho’s model makes it possible for an entire state and its respective agencies to collaborate efficiently with key information to better work together in fighting for best practices in response to sexual assault

Sedimentary parameters for computer modeling

The sedimentary parameters that are most important in modeling sedimentary sequences and geometry are accumulation rate, lag time, and accommodation space. Each parameter incorporates several other variables. Accumulation rate is the net result of sediment input and in situ production (for carbonates) less export through bypass or erosion. The appropriate accumulation rate to be chosen from the vast amount of data available will depend on depositional environment, basinal asymmetry, climate, tectonic setting, and the time increment being modeled. Lag time expresses the necessary condition for a transgressive sequence: that the initial sediment accumulation rate is less than the rate of submergence or accommodation. Mechanisms are not well understood; the potential for sediment production in shallow-water carbonate environments, for example, generally exceeds known rates of submergence. Biologic factors may reduce sediment production rates in shallow water, but a physical threshold, such as the wave base, above which accumulation is suppressed, seems more probable. Accommodation space is the increment of room available for sediment accumulation as determined by eustasy, subsidence, and erosion. Subsidence, in turn, incorporates tectonism, isostasy, and physical and chemical compaction. Lag time, compaction rates induced by pressure solution, and the interaction of siliciclastics and carbonates are probably the least constrained variables

Names for Non-Student-Athletes

The words used by student-athletes to identify non-student-athletes are “muggles”, “normies”, and “narps.” Narp stands for “non-athletic regular person.” Here are several examples of how I have used or heard these words used in conversation or how I would use these words in conversation. “They live with two teammates and a few muggles.” “You know [name]? Oh, well they’re a muggle you may not have met them before.” “She’s my favorite muggle.” “Make friends with the normies ‘cause then they can take notes for you when you miss class.” “What a narp” or “you look like a narp.
