A Study on The Local Economy Ripple Effect due to General Industrial Estate Regeneration Project

Today, the interest in the old industrial complex's regeneration project is heightened. That's because the existing industrial complex leading Korea's growth period has declined by external factor including economic recession and industrial structure change and because the need of regeneration project has been largely increased to convert the industrial complex in other use or to activate the industrial complex. Jinju City's Sangpyeong General Industrial Complex was classified actually as the old industrial complex created in 1981, with the regeneration project plan of government and local government progressed. Created as general industrial complex, it has displayed a main role for economic activation of the West Gyeongnam as an industrial complex based on the West Gyeongnam, but began to fall behind due to those factories to be closed and ceased by economic downturn and to the increased facility location with a wrong use. As the urban expansion is continuously realized, Sangpyeong General Industrial Complex, located actually in town and visited by people, needs more regeneration projects. In the beginning of 2000, Sangpyeong General Industrial Complex has been transferred to the city outskirts with the plan of convention center established, but with no evident result by 2010, it was selected recently as a target of the old industrial complex remodeling project, which allowed to induce new growth power industry associated with innovative urban development and the existing town away from the simple industrial site or the repair level of town, and to promote the regeneration project to modify a wrong use of facility to cultural service facility. Accordingly, this research has as its object in looking into the ripple effect of local economy by the regeneration project of Sangpyeong General Industrial Complex preparing the second renaissance. The research was made from Sangpyeong General Industrial Complex according to the historical background in progress of regeneration project. Its analysis method included the basic theory research and literature search, and the Keynesian multiplier theory models were used to analyze the ripple effect of multiplier of business area's land acquisition cost to local economy, and input output model was executed to look into socio-economic effect through the cost invested in industrial complex project

Synchronous double primary malignant tumor of the gallbladder and liver: a case report

We report a case of synchronous double primary tumor of gallbladder and liver. A 63-year-old male was admitted to the hospital complaining of abdominal discomfort. Enhanced computed tomography of the abdomen showed acute cholecystitis with tiny gallbladder stones and a 2.2 cm size enhanced nodule in the left lobe of the liver. Under the impression of acute cholecystitis with gall bladder stones and hepatocellular carcinoma of the left Liver, the patient underwent a laparotomy. At laparotomy, a mass was palpated on the surface of the neck portion of the gall bladder. Intraoperative frozen diagnosis revealed adenocarcinoma of the gall bladder. The patient was diagnosed as having gall bladder cancer and hepatocellular carcinoma, so extended cholecystectomy with dissection of regional lymph nodes and left hemihepatectomy were performed. Histological examination revealed moderated differentiated adenocarcinoma of gallbladder and hepatocellular carcinoma of liver. To our knowledge, the simultaneous occurrence of primary malignant tumor of the gallbladder and liver has never been published before. The patient is doing well with no evidence of recurrence 17 months after surgery

Sociodemographic factors that affect the real treatment rate among patients diagnosed with benign prostatic hyperplasia

Background Real treatment rate among patients diagnosed with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH/LUTS) and also its association with sociodemographic factor (SDF) have not been extensively investigated. Methods Data were obtained from the 2006, 2008, 2010, 2012, 2014, and 2016 waves of the Korean Longitudinal Study of Aging (KLoSA). Among 10,254 individuals at the first baseline survey in 2006, a total of 4383 participants were ultimately included for final analysis. For statistical analysis, chi-square tests and generalized estimating equation regression models were conducted. Results The prevalence rate of BPH/LUTS was 6.1% (266/4383) and real treatment rate was 58.3 percent (155/266). After adjusting for all confounders, odds ratio (OR) for the treatment of prostate disease in patients ages 55-64 and 65 years or more was 1.884 times higher (95% CI 1.096-3.237; p = .022) and 2.989 times higher (95% CI 1.755-5.091; p < .0001) than patients ages under 55, respectively. The OR for treatment of prostate disease in those residing in urban areas was 0.756 times lower (95% CI 0.573-0.998; p = .048) than those residing in metropolitan areas. The OR for treatment of prostate disease in those with bad self-rated health was 1.886 times higher (95% CI 1.461-2.436; p < .0001), compared to those with good self-rated health. Conclusion The real treatment rate among patients diagnosed with BPH/LUTS was 58.3%, a larger treatment rate than earlier reports. However, there are still a large proportion of patients who do not seek treatment; and age, residential area, and self-rated health were all found to be associated with real treatment rate

Exploring Factors That Influence Students’ Behaviors in Information Security

Due to the ever-increasing use of the Internet, information security has become a critical issue in society. This is especially the case for young adults who have different attitudes towards information security practices. In this research, we examine factors that motivate college students’ information security behaviors. Based on the concept of fear arousal in the presence of a threatened event, a well-founded theory known as Protection Motivation Theory (PMT) is adopted in the research model. Social norms and habit factors are integrated to the model as a means to assess students’ behaviors of information security. A survey of 202 responses is used to test the designed model using structural equation modeling to analyze relationships among variables. Results indicated that students are very motivated to practice information security if they perceive high levels of severity, response efficacy, response costs and self-efficacy. Their intentions, however, are not affected by perceived vulnerability or by social influence. Our findings suggest that PMT is a valuable model for predicting students’ attitudes towards information security and that their motivation is influenced by education in security awareness and understanding severity of such issues
