Authors: DÜLGAR Özgecan , AY Seval , GÜMÜŞ Mahmut
Published: October 2022

Aim: Obesity is a well-known modifiable risk factor for breast cancer. Impaired fasting glucose is a component of metabolic syndrome and a significant risk for diabetes. We aimed to research the effect of these two major components of metabolic syndrome on neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) response in breast cancer.Methods: We conducted 161 patients who had received NAC from January 2016 to January 2022. Fasting plasma glucose levels were measured at least two times and BMI was recorded before starting NAC. Impaired fasting glucose is defined as plasma glucose levels of 100 to 125 mg per dL. Analyses were compared into two groups according to FPG levels below or above 100 mg/dl and according to BMI obese (BMI30≥ kg/m2), or non-obese (BMI <30 kg/m2). The pathologic response was evaluated, and patients were divided into five groups according to the Miller-Payne grading system classified from grade V to I, complete pathologic response, loss of more than 90% of tumor cells, reduced 30% and 90% of tumor cells, lost less than 30% of tumor cells, and had no reduction in cellularity and no change malignant cells respectivelyResults: In the pathologic responses, 70.8% of patients with impaired fasting glucose levels were grade 1 non-reduction with NAC. Disease free-survival was shorter in the group that had impaired fasting glucose than in the group that had normal fasting plasma glucose (FPG) (p=0.031). In univariate analysis clinical stage 3 (p <0.001), postmenopausal status (p=0.037), human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER-2) negativity (p<0.001), estrogen receptor (ER) positivity (p <0.001), progesterone receptor (PR) positivity (p <0.001) rate were higher in grade 1 unresponsive patients compared to patients with pathological response grade 2, grade 3 and grade 4. In multivariate analysis showed that fasting plasma glucose, clinical stage, HER-2 status, and ER status were independent predictor factors for pathological complete response (pCR). BMI had no impact on pCR. Our trial showed that the ratio of pCR in patients with impaired fasting glucose was 2.5 times lower than that in patients who had normal FPG levels [HR: 2.5, 95%CI 1.08–5.92, p = 0.03].Conclusion: Fasting plasma glucose significantly impacted both pCR and recurrence.
FoxO3 Regulates the Progress and Development of Aging and
Aging-Related Diseases
Authors: Chang Zao-Shang , He Zhi-Ming , Xia Jing-Bo
Published: October 2022

Aging is an inevitable risk factor for many diseases, including cardiovascular
diseases, neurodegenerative diseases, cancer, and diabetes. Investigation into the
molecular mechanisms involved in aging and longevity will benefit the treatment of
age-dependent diseases and the development of preventative medicine for agingrelated
diseases. Current evidence has revealed that FoxO3, encoding the transcription
factor (FoxO)3, a key transcription factor that integrates different stimuli in the
intrinsic and extrinsic pathways and is involved in cell differentiation, protein homeostasis,
stress resistance and stem cell status, plays a regulatory role in longevity and in
age-related diseases. However, the precise mechanisms by which the FoxO3 transcription
factor modulates aging and promotes longevity have been unclear until now.
Here, we provide a brief overview of the mechanisms by which FoxO3 mediates signaling
in pathways involved in aging and aging-related diseases, as well as the current
knowledge on the role of the FoxO3 transcription factor in the human lifespan and its
clinical prospects. Ultimately, we conclude that FoxO3 signaling pathways, including
upstream and downstream molecules, may be underlying therapeutic targets in aging
and age-related diseases.
Pharmacological and Physiological Correlates of the Bidirectional Fear
Phenotype of the Carioca Rats and Other Bidirectionally Selected Lines
Authors: Lages Yury V. , Balthazar Laura , Krahe Thomas. E. , Landeira-Fernandez J.
Published: October 2022

The Carioca rat lines originated from the selective bidirectional breeding of mates displaying
extreme defense responses to contextual conditioned fear. After three generations, two distinct
populations could be distinguished: the Carioca High- and Low-conditioned Freezing rats, CHF, and
CLF, respectively. Later studies identified strong anxiety-like behaviors in the CHF line, while indications
of impulsivity and hyperactivity were prominent in the CLF animals. The present review details
the physiological and pharmacological-related findings obtained from these lines. The results discussed
here point towards a dysfunctional fear circuitry in CHF rats, including alterations in key brain
structures and the serotoninergic system. Moreover, data from these animals highlight important alterations
in the stress-processing machinery and its associated systems, such as energy metabolism and
antioxidative defense. Finally, evidence of an alteration in the dopaminergic pathway in CLF rats is
also debated. Thus, accumulating data gathered over the years, place the Carioca lines as significant
animal models for the study of psychiatric disorders, especially fear-related ones like anxiety.
Study on Later Life of Poor and Humble Scholars: Centered on Later Life of Mumyeongja Yun Ki andHis Response to Reality
Authors:   The Association of DaeDong-Hanmun, Im Wanhyuk
Published: October 2022

In this study, later lives of ‘poor and humble scholars’, their emotions and their responses to reality are examined with the example of Mumyeongja Yun Ki.
Yun Ki suffered from diseases including malaria due to senescence during his later life and to make matters worse, he had to endure severe pain from hearing impairment. The bridle of senescence and being from a poor and humble family was a stumbling block for him from the beginning of becoming a public official. He could not get the Cheong'yo-jik(淸要職) post and he was pained by the hard working as a lowest public official. Consequently, he was discontented. The poverty that molested his ancestors was not alleviated even after he became a public official. He expressed his emotions such as frustration, regret, resentment, grievance, self-deprecation, and moan about his later life in his poems in a straightforward way. He preserved his identity as he led a life filled with grumbles in an unjust world. Until the end of his life, he was destitute, which was also the result of his integrity and honesty.
Yun Ki had the sense of identity that he was from the scholar family and strived to overcome the reality of being a poor and humble scholar. His integrity worked as an obstacle for his social relations. He had his principle and beliefs, which were not compatible with the world. However, he did not change his values and identity to gain worldly benefits. He was sensitive to calamity of slander, he continuously took precaution against his desire to speak out and its consequence of calamity of slander since his 50s. Furthermore, he declared to keep silence on matters after the long and careful consideration. It was the great decision to reveal his self-esteem and to preserve his family. The desire to reveal his identity was satisfied by his critical writing. His critical writing became the alternative to keeping silence, through which he faced the bitter reality and planned for the future.
Yun Ki, expressed anguish, conflicts in his inner world, remorse, guilty conscience, anger and rebuke a lot but he assessed his life in a positive way. That is because he had self-respect that he did not meet the world halfway but preserved his integrity and identity.
Persistence and transformation of Zhuge Liang’s discourse in the late Joseon Period: centered on the Northern Expeditionary discourse
Authors:   The Association of DaeDong-Hanmun, Kim Kiwan
Published: October 2022

This article aims to analyze the descriptive logic of the literature about Zhuge Liang, focusing on the keyword as “Northern Expeditionary discourse” which was one of the main elements of Zhuge Liang’s discourse in Joseon period. Examples of the late Joseon Period, which showed the combination between Zhuge Liang’s discourse and the Northern Expedition, included works by Song Si-yeol, Kim Soo-Jeung, and Lee Hyun-il and Lee Sang-jong. The combination of Zhuge Liang’s discourse and the Northern expeditionary discourse is effective in examining the reinterpretation of Chinese portraits such as Zhuge Liang’s portrait, and the such images and related texts were accepted according to the political and cultural conditions of Joseon such as Byeongja Horan. In particular, the second chapter of this article presented and analyzed the examples of late Joseon writers who showed their interpretation and acceptance toward  written by Doubo(杜甫) related to context of 『Zhuziyulei(朱子語類)』, which had included Zhu Hui’s preference about Zhu Zhuge Liang.
In addition, the Hanju school’s case represented the situation in the early 20th century, which Zhuge Liang was recalled continuously as part of the Joseon’s will to overcome the national crisis and related Zhuge Liang’s images such as illustrations of 『Monggyeon Je Gal Ryang(夢見諸葛亮)』 were generated continuously. Overall, this article’s discussion centered on the Northern expeditionary discourse is significant because the discussion of Zhuge Liang in the late Joseon Period, which had been formed in response to the Qing’s rule, also continued and transformed in the modern period including colonial period.
Estimating Na+ and K+ concentrations of the pore solution based on ex-situ leaching tests and thermodynamic modeling
Authors: Tuinukuafe Atolo , Chopperla Krishna Siva Teja , Weiss Jason , Ideker Jason , Isgor Burkan
Published: October 2022

Ex-situ leaching (ESL) methods have typically yielded higher sodium and potassium concentrations than pore solutions obtained using the conventional high-pressure extraction approach since ESL concentrations require a back-calculation to account for dilution. This paper proposes a new method for adjusting the concentrations obtained from ESL. Thermodynamic calculations were used to determine the total pore solution content, and a pore partitioning model was then used to separate the total solution into gel and capillary assignments. Using the refined pore solution volumes to adjust the concentrations from ESL improved the correlation to PSE concentrations.
Comprehensive analysis of female reproductive dysfunction induced by clock genes due to asynchronous feeding rhythm
Authors: Fujiwara Tomoko
Published: October 2022

Dieting can be harmful, particularly for adolescents who are still developing. For example, diet and reproductive health are closely linked and dieting in adolescence can have long-term effects on reproductive health. Indeed, the incidence of gynaecological disease is rising, in parallel
with food skipping and dieting in young women. Dr Tomoko Fujiwara, Department of Human Life Environments, Kyoto Notre Dame University, Japan is exploring the little known links between menstrual pain and eating habits, with a focus on female students. She and her team are interested in the
concept of hunger stress and the implications of negative hunger stress and are using animal models to explore this concept and interrelated ideas in more detail. In a world first, the researchers reported that breakfast skipping is associated with menstrual pain and menstrual pain worsens
after dieting and, building on this result, they conducted research to establish further links between dietary habits and menstrual disorders and explore whether breakfast skipping can be an effective predictor for the management and prevention of menstrual disorders. In another project, Fujiwara
and the team unearthed findings that support the existence of a new hypothesis called Adolescent Dietary Habit-induced Obstetric and Gynecologic Disease (ADHOGD) and plan to elucidate further detailed mechanisms that will lead to preventative methods. In another study, the researchers explored
the effects of meal timing during the circadian cycle on ovarian function and confirmed that the timing of food intake during the circadian cycle is a key factor influencing reproductive function.
Developmental research on practical models and manuals for foster parent support specialists
Authors: Noguchi Keiji
Published: October 2022

In addition to being a researcher, Dr Keiji Noguchi is a foster parent and so understands the importance of a support model to prevent disruption of foster children placement. Noguchi, Faculty of Education, Fukuyama City University, Japan, is leading a project focused on developmental
research on practical models and manuals for foster parent support specialists. This builds on previous research from Osaka Prefecture University and seeks to show how best to support foster parents and prevent disruption. To achieve this goal, Noguchi is developing practical models and manuals
to support foster parents. A key focus is on the role of specialists who are assigned to Residential Care Institutions for Children (RCIC). Noguchi believes these Institutions and foster parents both play an important role in the success of foster parenting but it is important to find an effective
means to better understand the current situation regarding the support that foster parents receive from institutions, decipher what works and what doesn’t and develop recommendations in line with this. The most important aspect of this work is ensuring that the needs of foster children
are realised and fulfilled and so their input is invaluable. Foster parents also need to be considered as if the needs of foster parents are being met it is more likely that the needs of foster children are, in turn, being met. As such, Noguchi and the team are conducting an interview survey
on foster parent support for foster parents and professionals in RCIC that support foster parent care and have collected valuable data that has enabled them to create a manual for foster parent care support called the Foster Parent Programme.
The impact of Buddhism on society during the Goryeo period
Authors: Cho Myungje
Published: October 2022

Professor Myungje Cho has been studying the impact of Buddhism on society during the Goryeo period. In his current research, he is exploring the significance of the History of Thought by reorganising the flow and character of Goryeo Buddhism as East Asian Buddhism and the History of
Thought. Cho has shown that while Goryeo Buddhism demonstrated some influence from Song's Zen philosophy, it also maintained its own independent characteristics. In his analysis, Cho showed that the two phases of Goryeo’s adoption of Koan Zen, the spread of Wenzi Chan during the period
of the 12th to 13th centuries, was followed by the popularity of Kanhua Chan amongst the Goryeo intellectuals in the 14th century. In his work, he sought to identify the phases of adoption of Goryeo’s Koan Zen and explain the factors for accelerating its spread and impact of the transmission
on society. Cho analysed and clarified, for the first time, the main text and the flow of ideas of Zen Buddhism in Goryeo. His research also offers a way to understand Korean mediaeval Buddhism within a wider context of East Asian history of ideas through the literary analysis of Chinese literature
published in Goryeo or Zen literature compiled in Goryeo Buddhism from the perspective of cultural history.

This paper focuses on analyzing the technical efficiency of Malaysian stock performance over the period of 2013 to 2018. By utilizing the stochastic frontier analysis (SFA) production function Cobb-Douglas, the inefficiency effect of time-invariant is allowed and predicted to estimate the technical efficiency score as well as provide a ranking efficiency based on the model estimation performance. In SFA, the two main errors, random error and inefficiency error are assumed to be independent, and this assumption is not practical in a real-life situation. The assumption for random error is normally distributed and the inefficiency error is half-normal distributed. Therefore, in this paper, when the assumption of SFA is dependent on both errors, the copula is applied to capture the joint distribution of these two error components. These main findings revealed that stock efficiency estimates using copula SFA (CSFA) are appropriate because it uses more practical assumptions and among the seven models, through the AIC method, the Cot copula was selected as the best model. This paper provides new evidence on comparison ranking of technical efficiency based on the three models, yielded by copulas with SFA (CSFA-Cot copula), SFA, and DEA-CCR models. Spearman’s rank order was implemented and revealed that there was a high degree of correlation found among the rank efficiency estimates derived from the models of CSFA and SFA applied. However, the scores produced by both models are different. Accurate scores are necessary in order to make correct decisions and predictions. Therefore, the dependence error between random error and inefficiency error cannot be ignored, and the Cot copula in SFA models can be considered as an alternative suitable tool for measuring efficiency performance.

Authors: Luis-Rojas Samuel , García-Sánchez Roberto Carlos , García-Mata Roberto , Arana- Coronado Oscar Antonio , González-Estrada Adrián
Published: October 2022

El huevo es una de las fuentes de proteína más accesible y con disponibilidad amplia en el mercado. El objetivo de este trabajo fue desarrollar un modelo de series de tiempo para pronosticar los precios nominales mensuales de huevo blanco pagados al productor en México (PPHBP) mediante modelos de función de transferencia (MFT) y evaluar su relación con los precios promedios rurales del sorgo (PPSRG). Los parámetros y las predicciones se estimaron con el método de máxima verosimilitud y fueron estadísticamente apropiadas y significativas. El mejor MFT que representó el comportamiento de los PPHBP fue el de dos coeficientes autorregresivos, tres de media móvil, dos grados de denominador â€œrâ€, un grado de numerador â€œsâ€ y un coeficiente â€œbâ€. Se encontró que el PPSRG impacta  un mes después en los PPHBP, disminuyendo la varianza original del PPHBP de 0.01036 a 0.009771 con el modelo de transferencia. El MFT genera mejores pronósticos de los PPHBP que el modelo SARIMA, debido a que el primero, toma en cuenta la evolución temporal del PPSRG logrando estimaciones más cercanas a la realidad, útiles para planificar y tomar decisiones en el sector avícola a corto y mediano plazo.
Calidad de los chiles habaneros en los mercados de México: un análisis comparativo.
Authors: Lozano Carmen , Chiatchoua Cesaire
Published: October 2022

La alta competitividad de los mercados se deriva de la introducción de la tecnología y de la dinámica de las necesidades de los consumidores. Es necesario mejorar la calidad de los productos y, en especial, en el sector agrícola. El objetivo de esta investigación fue comparar las características de los chiles habaneros (Capsicum chinense) de exportación con los de venta en mercados de la Ciudad de México a través de la lógica difusa, con el fin de determinar la calidad de éstos. La lógica difusa es un método cualitativo utilizado para el estudio de fenómenos sociales rodeados de incertidumbre y subjetividad. Con base en la norma “Denominación de Origen del habanero de la Península de Yucatán”, los resultados muestran que la calidad en forma y color de los chiles habaneros vendidos en la Ciudad de México es menor que la de los exportados. La información sobre la calidad de los chiles distribuidos al interior del país y para exportación ayuda a agricultores y al gobierno a generar políticas y programas de regulación específicos de apoyo diferenciado, según los tipos de cultivos y el lugar dónde éstos se producen.
Semaglutide in Overweight and Obese patients: Cardiovascular and/or Renal Metabolic Benefits
Authors: Rico-Fontalvo Jorge , Daza-Arnedo Rodrigo , Cabrales Juan Jose Rafael , Montejo-Hernández Juan Diego
Published: October 2022

We have read the article published by Kadowaki, et al. 1 “Semaglutide once a week in adults with overweight or obesity, with or without type 2 diabetes mellitus in an East Asian population (STEP 6): A randomized, double blind, double dummy, placebo controlled, phase 3a trial”, where the authors conclude that semaglutide at a dose of 2.4 mg, in diabetic and non-diabetic patients, reduces obesity and overweight compared to placebo in East Asian patients. These interesting results, demonstrate once again its benefits regarding overweight and obesity1,2. We consider that there should be several relevant aspects to have in mind. The study shows, once again, that semaglutide might have dose dependent effects and some that aren’t dose dependent, with weight loss being a dose-dependent effect. Regarding renal benefits, we consider that including albuminuria as a variable is of importance, given that only eGFR by CKD-EPI was included in the study. The average eGFR of the patients was 97.2 cc/min, patients with an eGFR less than 30 were excluded (eGFR less than 60 in patients receiving SGLT-2 inhibitors). We mention this since it would’ve been interesting to evaluate albuminuric vs non-albuminuric patients, hence seeing if there are any renal benefits, especially in albuminuric patients that may be dose dependent. Recently, Shaman, et al. 3 reported that liraglutide and semaglutide had renal benefits in type 2 diabetes mellitus, but their effect in albuminuria was higher in patients with 1 mg of semaglutide weekly vs 0.5 mg weekly. The latter allows to hypothesize that this effect may be dose dependent. Given this, it would be of interest to assess if higher doses bring increased renal benefits, as seen in weight loss. In summary, having in mind the renal benefits seen by semaglutide in other studies4, it would be of great importance to verify the impact of albuminuria in patients with obesity.  Hence, we hope that in the upcoming trials, albuminuria is taken into consideration, so that we can highlight not only the cardio-metabolic benefits, but renal benefits in diabetic and non-diabetic patients that are obese or overweight, and to assess if there is a dose-dependent response.
A study on the dependence of real estate PF Financial institutions on Trust companies
Authors:   Residential Environment Institute Of Korea, Yun Seo Jun , Koh Sung Soo
Published: October 2022

This study identified differential characteristics from existing real estate PF for land trust sites that are committed to responsibility. In the case of domestic real estate PF, it was confirmed that financial institutions tend to rely on the creditworthiness of construction companies, but if construction companies with low creditworthiness participate, trust companies provide credit, and as a result, the subject of dependence on financial institutions in the real estate PF market is transferred to trust companies. As a variable that can represent the creditworthiness of the trust company, a dummy variable was set based on whether it was a trust company belonging to a bank-affiliated holding company. As a result of an empirical analysis of 349 domestic real estate PF implementation sites from 2020 to 2021, it was found that financial institutions do not look at the creditworthiness of construction companies when executing loans in the real estate PF market. In addition, it was also confirmed that there was a difference in risk perception by trust company, and a differentiated market that was difficult to explain with research on existing real estate PF was confirmed. This study is a timely study that empirically approached and studied the characteristics of the recent market with high growth power called a responsibility-completed land trust, and analyzed the risk recognition factors of trust companies. As a result of the analysis, it was confirmed that the risk perception of financial institutions was transferred from the construction company to the trust company, and there was a difference in risk perception depending on the size of the trust company, and it was demonstrated that risk factors were differentially recognized between trust companies.

Authors:   Residential Environment Institute Of Korea, Kim Ju Young , Yoon Dong Gun
Published: October 2022

Households of old age want to live in their communities as long as their health conditions permit. This study focus on service combined housing that provide welfare related services with old age under the therapeutic environment. There are two objectives of this study. First, we measure the need for service combined housing for old age. Second, various factors determining needs of service combined housing will be found out through ordered logit analysis. In order to succeed this objectives, we collect survey data in year 2020 for old age. According to prior study, household with welfare needs can be selected in terms of situation of household formation, income level and degree of health status. Among old age populations, 2 percent of them are minimum level that need serviced housing and 8% are may be predicted for maximum level. Ordered logit model can describe that factors affect housing needs indirect fashion. The more household satisfy their residential environment, quality of life and location of residents, the more satify their aged care services. Besides these factors, household income, visiting frequency with their offsprings and condition of their spouse were also represented to determine their satisfaction of aged care services. This study suggest that providing service combined housing are uregent task considering old ageing trend in our society and more detailed researches should be further continued.
A Study on the Effect of Housing Tax Enhancement on Apartment Prices in Seoul Metropolitan Area: Focusing on the heavy taxation of comprehensive real estate tax and capital gains tax
Authors:   Residential Environment Institute Of Korea, Seo Chae Yeong , Park Jung A
Published: October 2022

In this study, the effect of the recently strengthened heavy taxation of capital gains tax and comprehensive real estate tax on the apartment market in the metropolitan area was analyzed using the vector error correction model. As a result of the shock response analysis, the volume of apartment sales transactions in the Seoul metropolitan area had the greatest impact on the apartment sales price index, followed by mortgage loans in the Seoul metropolitan area and GDP. On the other hand, it was found that there was no significant shock reaction to the heavy capital gains tax and the heavy comprehensive real estate tax. However, most parallaxes show negative (-) values, indicating that they negatively affect apartment sales prices in the Seoul metropolitan area. As a result, it can be seen that the apartment market in the metropolitan area is generally affected by changes in the housing tax system, such as heavy capital gains tax and heavy comprehensive real estate tax, along with housing finance, supply, and macroeconomic factors. As a result of this analysis, the housing-related tax strengthening policy can contribute to stabilizing the housing market by lowering housing prices during the rapid rise in housing prices. However, the tax strengthening policy during the period of falling housing prices due to the economic recession can cause a sharp downturn in the housing market.

Authors:   Residential Environment Institute Of Korea, Yang Young Jun
Published: October 2022

This study analyzed the factors of price rise in apartments traded in Jeju Special Self-Governing Province from 2019 to 2021 using the Hedonic price model. There are 486 apartments subject to analysis and 526 types based on area. In 2019, 2026 transaction cases were applicable, and in 2021, 2907 transactions were applicable. In summary, the high price increase rate is based on the size of the exclusively used area, whether large, medium or small. The larger the remaining building-to-land ratios and the longer the elapsed years, the better the return on reconstruction can be expected, indicating that the high price rise rate. The higher the number of households, the higher price rise rate. In addition, the price rising rate of entrust management apartments is higher than that of the autonomous management apartments. Compared to the Dong area of Jeju-si, the price increase rate of apartments in the Dong area of Seogwipo-si is the lowest, followed by Eup·Myeon area of Seogwipo-si. It was analyzed that the farther away from the market, the lower the price rise rate.
The environment of open-plan workspaces: space utilization, user satisfaction, and environmental measures
Authors: Yang Eunhwa , Hong Sungil , Kim Yujin
Published: October 2022

This paper aims to identify how indoor environmental factors are associated with space utilization and user satisfaction in flexible open spaces in an academic building. Data were collected through mixed methods, including a survey, observation, and objective environmental assessment. The mixed-methods assessed users' environmental perception and satisfaction, types of activities, types of users (group vs. individual), lighting, noise, temperature, humidity, and carbon dioxide level in five open-plan spaces with different furniture configurations. The subject spaces were identified as underutilized because there was a mismatch between the demand and supply of furniture and spatial settings. Even though all subjective spaces were open-plan settings, students preferred space with shared-furniture or a combination of different types of furniture with individual-oriented furniture only. The findings of the study suggest a reevaluation of space planning and programming for increased spatial efficiency. The users were generally satisfied with the subject spaces, although ambient environmental measures were slightly outside the industry standards. The present study provides evidence of user preferences of spatial settings based on the type of users (group vs. individual) and type of activities performed in the space (i.e., paper-based work, laptop, phone/tablet, eating, resting, talking).
A Fuzzy Inference-Based Facility Prioritization Decision Support System for Complex Hierarchical Organizations
Authors: DePalmer Devin M. , Schuldt Steven J. , Delorit Justin D.
Published: October 2022

Safeguarding limited resources for an organization's most critical assets can be difficult when decision-makers at different corporate hierarchy levels have different objectives and needs. Prioritizing resources in a manner that aligns with the organization's strategic goals requires expertise and knowledge at all corporation levels. DePalmer et al. (2021) explored the opportunity to quantify the relationship between facilities and the operations they support using a Mamdani fuzzy inference system. This research extends the previous work by incorporating multi-level perspectives of the facilities and the operations they support outside of the tactical campus. Additionally, the authors simulated various risk attitudes to investigate how subjective inputs at the tactical level can affect strategic-level outputs. This research produces a framework that aggregates junior-level facility knowledge depth with the breadth of senior-level operational and strategic knowledge to support decision-making for facility project prioritization. An additional prediction boundary is created from the risk attitude variance and can give portfolio managers data-driven tools for quality control of risk profiles at individual campus locations.

Published: October 2022

Information technology (IT) mission-critical facilities house operations that, when interrupted, can prove disastrous to an organization's operations. Limited market research is available to determine what roof system types are best suited to meet the unique demands of these buildings. The purpose of this research was to rate the suitability of commonly used roofing systems for IT mission-critical facilities and determine their associated lifecycle costs. This research was performed with a leading US based telecommunications company to help evaluate roofing system options used in their IT mission-critical facilities. A survey was administered to roofing professionals across the US to obtain lifecycle cost information and ratings for various roofing systems. The research found that single-ply roofs generally had lower annual lifecycle costs than built-up roofs, due to lower installation and removal costs and increasing life expectancies. Metal roofs also had a low annual lifecycle cost due to the longer estimated lifespan. On the other hand, lowest installation cost was not the governing factor for recommended selection of roof systems for IT mission-critical structures. Rather, built-up and metal roofs were rated highest by roofing professionals, for their value in mission-critical facilities, ultimately indicating a necessary prioritization for risk reduction versus cost savings.

The Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs is granting various benefits to farmers in order to strengthen the competitiveness of farmers and to stably supply agricultural and fishery products to the people. In particular, according to the Act On Fostering And Supporting Agricultural And Fisheries Business Entities, various policies are implemented for farmers and agricultural corporations registered as agricultural business entities with the National Agricultural Products Quality Management Service, and benefits such as subsidies and loans are given. However, according to the registration of agricultural business entity, the standards for farmers are frequently changed and different from the laws, so there is confusion over the interpretation of the laws. there is a situation. Although the Enforcement Decree Of the Framework Act On Agriculture, Rural Community And Food Industry has provisions for the definition of a farmer, the Enforcement Decree of the Farmland Act also has more expanded definition of a farmer. It is problematic in the whole legal system that the same term “farmer” is used differently in related laws with similar purposes in the field of agriculture-related laws and regulations. Moreover, in a situation in which a farmers’ certificate is essential to register as an agricultural business entity and receive farmer benefits, the issuance regulation of the farmers’ certificate stipulates that the purpose is to identify the farmer of the Enforcement Decree of the Framework Act On Agriculture, Rural Community And Food Industry, and at the same time, the scope of the farmer who issues the farmers’ certificates is wider than that of the law, and it is gradually expanding. In addition, through the revision of the notice, the scope of farmers is continuously expanding. However, whether or not the farmer is eligible is not just a profit regulation that grants benefits, but it is necessary to clarify this because if a false farmers’ certificate is issued, it may be subject to fines, penalties, and even criminal dispositions. In order to solve this problem, in this paper, the Farmland Act and the issuance regulations of the farmers’ certificate are in accordance with the Framework Act On Agriculture, Rural Community And Food Industry with respect to the definition of a farmer, and the target regulation according to the example of the 'Agricultural and Rural Public Interest Direct Payment Act' It proposes a plan to separate the 'Agricultural, Rural and Food Industry Act' and to revise the enforcement ordinance of the 'Agricultural, Rural and Food Industry Framework Act'. It will be able to have a system.

The article aims to describe Hasan al-Shafi’i’s view of uniting Sunnis theologically as an applied model. Through historical-philosophical analysis, this article found that Hasan al-Shafi’i viewed the need to unite Sunni viewpoints in the contemporary era. With his background in communication with the Islamic world and the West, Hasan al-Shafi’i confirmed the importance of understanding I’tidāl from al-Asy’ari theology. This theology rests on the spirit of harmony and tolerance, assuming that diversity is fairness and that plural life is the foundation of life that must be maintained. This view implies the restoration of theological relations between Sunni groups. Such a converged approach can serve as a model that is methodologically expected to enhance rapprochement on and off the Sunni spectrum
