먹거리 지원사업 추진방식별 수혜자 후생효과 실증분석

Lack of empirical research substantiates the economic theory that electronic vouchers significantly have more impact on beneficiaries’ utility than discounts and in-kind transfers. In this respect, we evaluate the magnitude of the utility increase in money-metric value. We hypothesize a situation of policy integration and employ a contingent valuation method to assess the willingness to accept (WTA) occurred by a degradation in consumer food options. We discovered that beneficiaries can achieve a higher level of welfare when benefits are paid through electronic vouchers. Also, we proved that the welfare effects of adopting an e-voucher system are higher among consumers who are currently supported by electronic voucher programs compared to others.

Research on Cyber Security Defense and Protection in Power Industry

The power information network is a significant part of national key information infrastructure, as well as the core promoting force to guarantee the strategic development of energy internet. Due to its correlative characteristics in industrial control network, the internet and IoT, superadd a large of nodes and data sensitivity, the evolving network attack technology has put forward new requirements and challenges to its security protection system, which also hinders the overall interconnecting and interworking of energy internet to a certain extent. In order to improve the network security capability of full-service power network under the energy internet environment, a power information security framework based on cloud service was proposed to improve the safety and reliability, build an end-to-end electronic authentication mechanism and security management mode of strong data interworking, finally realize the life cycle data protection, trusted identity management and reliable electronic voucher application, meet the rapid development of the energy internet and escort the new digital economic of the power industry.

Food Aid Technology

Over half of Syrian refugee households in Lebanon are food insecure with some reliant on an electronic voucher (e-voucher) system for food aid. The interplay between the digitisation of food aid, within the socio-technical context of refugees, and community collaborative practices is yet to be investigated. Through design engagements and interviews with refugees and shop owners we explore the experiences of a Syrian refugee community in Lebanon using the e-voucher system. We provide insights into the socio-technical environment in which the e-voucher system is dispensing aid, the information and power asymmetries experienced, refugee collaborative coping practices and how they interplay with the e-voucher system. We highlight the need for: (1) expanding refugee digital capabilities to encompass understandings of aid technologies and identifying trusted intermediaries and (2) for technologies to support in upholding humanitarian principles and mitigating power and information asymmetries. Lastly, we call for CSCW researchers and humanitarian innovators to consider how humanitarian technologies can enable refugee collaborative practices and adopt everyday security as a lens for designing aid technologies. The paper contributes to CSCW knowledge regarding the interplay between aid technologies and refugees? socio-technical contexts and practices that provides a basis for future technological designs for collaborative technologies for refugee food security.

An audit of a novel electronic messaging treatment service for Chlamydia trachomatis at a community pharmacy.

In 2016, NHS Lothian regional sexual and reproductive health services introduced an electronic pharmacy treatment voucher that could be sent to the mobile phones of patients with Chlamydia trachomatis and their sexual contacts. A retrospective audit of the electronic treatment voucher database was conducted for vouchers issued between April and December 2016. Five hundred and forty-nine vouchers were issued and 56% were redeemed at a pharmacy within one week of issue. This suggests that electronic vouchers are a popular and effective means of providing expedited treatment for uncomplicated C. trachomatis at a community pharmacy.

An Assessment of FISP e-voucher Performance

The failure of the agricultural sector to provide livelihoods for people in rural areas is considered a major factor that contributes to rural poverty and food insecurity. The Zambian government started the Farmer Input Support Program (FISP) in 2002in order to stimulate the growth of the agricultural sector and to improve the performance of the smallholders. However, the administration of the FISP manual system has had challenges resulting in high operational cost and/or decimal impact on smallholder performance and graduation.In order to mitigate the FISP challenges, the FISP Electronic Voucher system was introduced in 2015/2016 farming season. The E-voucher system has been in operation for the past two farming seasons and conflicting reports for its successes and failures have been reported in Zambian's daily papers as well as published research articles. This study had been undertaken in order to assess the performance of the E-voucher system by hearing from smallholders.A survey research was undertaken using structured and semi structured questionnaires. The stallholders in Kabwe were targeted and the findings revealed that the e-voucher system was largely successful, but required more improvement in input some areas such as on time release of funds to e-voucher holders, improve availability of agro-dealer input stocks and designing a proper e-voucher exit strategy.

A secure billing protocol over attribute-based encryption in vehicular cloud computing

The integration of cloud computing into vehicular ad hoc networks (VANETs) has allowed the possibility of offering multiple services to the vehicle owners ranging from safety to entertainment services. The ubiquitousness of cloud computing involves a multitude of service providers; thus, an efficient and secure access control mechanism is required. However, rigorous security features need to be addressed for such commercial-based services to be fully adopted. In this paper, we present a secure billing protocol over attribute-based encryption in vehicular cloud computing. We achieve the identity privacy of the vehicles and their requested services through pseudonym techniques. Certificateless signature scheme is used to assure the authentication of legitimate vehicles which can enjoy the provided services. We use attribute-based encryption to guarantee access control based on the purchased services. We make use of hash chain technique to provide authorization through electronic voucher (credits) which a vehicle has to possess in order to purchase a service. Unlike existing protocols in VANETS, the proposed protocol is not built on expensive bilinear pairing operations. We provide the efficiency of the proposed protocol through performance analysis and simulation.

A Secure NFC-based Electronic Voucher Solution

As the number of mobile Internet users grows rapidly, more and more service providers are distributing electronic vouchers to consumers via mobile phones, which eliminates the need to carry various plastic or paper-based vouchers. Currently, electronic vouchers are available mainly in the form of text message or QR code. However, these types of vouchers are usually stored in the mobile phone that lacks secure storage and trusted execution environment. In addition, it is not efficient enough to input voucher code manually or get voucher QR code scanned when the consumer redeems the voucher. Near Field Communication (NFC) is a short-range wireless communication technology that simplifies the way of interaction between the electronic devices and guarantees a fast and secure information exchange. In this paper, we propose an NFCbased electronic voucher solution, which provides capabilities of distributing, managing and redeeming vouchers in a secure manner. The security of the voucher is ensured by storing it in the Secure Element (SE). With the proposed system, the consumer is enabled to redeem the voucher just by touching the NFC reader at the point of sale with his/her NFC phone, which offers better user experience than traditional electronic voucher solutions.

객체메모리모델을 이용한 모바일 전자상품권 설계

According to the recent increase of mobile commerce, the researches on electronic voucher payment based on NFC are lively made. However, most researches focus on the payment method using electronic vouchers, and so there is none for tracking circulation history of an electronic voucher. To address this problem, this paper proposes the method to store circulation information of an electronic voucher. The proposed method applies Object Memory Model (OMM) to an electronic voucher. When an electronic voucher is issued, transferred to other person, and used in payment, related information is stored at the object momory of an electronic voucher. So, our proposed object memory has three types of blocks, on which each information for issue, transfer, and payment of an electronic voucher is stored. We can retrieve and analyze the circulation history of an electronic voucher using this information. In the future, we will implement the proposed an electronic voucher and propose the method to analyze circulation information.

농촌 조손가정의 양육, 건강 및 영양중재서비스의 효과

본 연구는 지역사회서비스투자사업의 일환으로 실시된 지역개발형 사업으로 중재서비스를 제공하는 작전연구의 일환으로 조손가정의 양육, 건강 및 영양중재서비스 효과를 분석한 분석적 연구이다. 연구대상자와 연구기간은 서비스제공집단과 비제공집단 간의 비교는 2008년 1월 현재 양육과 건강중재서비스 효과를 보았으며, 서비스제공집 단만의 조사는 2009년 1월에는 건강중재서비스의 효과를, 7월에는 영양중재서비스효과를 보았다. 조손가정의 인구사회학적 특성은 서비스제공집단과 비제공집단 간에 동질성이 확인되었으며, 조부모는 조모가 많은 편으로 평균 연령은 68.3세-70.1세이었고, 생활수준은 못 사는 편에 속하는 가정이 전체의 2/3 정도로 경제적 어려움을 보여주었으며, 교육수준은 "무학"이 가장 많았고, 배우자가 있는 조부모는 과반수이상이었다. 조부모의 양육스트레스는 서비스 제공집단과 비제공집단 간에 통계적으로 유의한 차이는 나타나지 않았으나, 아동이 지각한 조부모의 양육태도는 서비스를 받은 아이들의 우울수준이 현격하게 낮았다(t=2.90, df=116, p<.01). 부모영역의 스트레스는 통계적으로 유의한 차이를 보였고(t=1.85, df=116, p<.10), 학업영역에서는 현격한 차이를 보여 중재서비스의 효과(t=3.98, df=116, p<.001)가 검증되었다. 조부모의 건강상태에 대한 서비스제공집단과 비제공집단간에는 우울, 급성질환이환율, 수단적 일상생활수행 능력, 인지기능 및 운동실천율에서 유의한 차이가 있는 것으로 중재서비스의 효과가 나타났다. 하지만, 서비스제공집단만의 1년 후의 효과에서는 중재서비스의 효과가 없는 것으로 나타났지만 상태는 유지된 것으로 나타났다. 영양중재서비스는 총점에서 통계적으로 유의한 효과는 없었으나, 하부영역인 주관적 영양 평가항목에서 유의한 차이가 있는 것으로 검정되었다(t=18.230, p<.0001). 결론적으로 조손가정의 양육, 건강과 영양중재서비스가 효과가 있는 것으로 나타나, 앞으로 조손 가정을 위한 중재서비스가 정책적으로 시도되어야 할 것이다. Objectives: The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of the rearing, health and nutrition services through intervention in GP-GC (grandparents-grandchildren) families. Methods: A structured questionnaire was administered in January 2008 and January 2009 to 55(70) grandparents of GP-GC families who received intervention services also GP-GC families that did not receive services. The study area was the city of Chunnam Province, South Korea. The intervention services were provided by electronic voucher one day per week. The questionnaire assessed the general characteristics of the grandparents, childcare stress and burden, health status (ADL, IADL, depression, subjective health status and fall index) and mini nutritional assessment(MNA). The data were analyzed using SPSS software and an F-test, Chi-squared test and t-test. Results: The stress of grandparents resulting from childcare was high, but depression in grandparents perceived by grandchildren was significantly lower in served GP-GC families than in non-served GP-GC families. Differences in scores of affection (t=2.12, df=116, p<.05), automatics (t=2.92, df=116, p<.01), realistic(t=2.24, df=116, p<.05), and level of depression(t=2.90, df=116, p<.01) were significant. Incidences of acute disease, IADL cognitive fuction and depression of grandparents were slightly higher. Intervention services for GP-GC families had an impact on the childcare attitude and health status of grandparents. The intervention services of nutrition for grandparents were not promoted, but the scoring for subjective nutrition status were statistically higher for the served group (t=18.230, p<.0001). Conclusions: This study found that intervention programs of childcare services and health and nutrition management are effective for grandparents of GP-GC families. Intervention services for GP-GC family should establish the political issue.

Development of a Module for Point-of-care Charge Capture and Submission Using an Anesthesia Information Management System

The use of electronic charge vouchers in anesthesia practice is limited, and the effects on practice management are unreported. The authors hypothesized that the new billing technology would improve the effectiveness of the billing interface and enhance financial practice management measures. A custom application was created to extract billing elements from the anesthesia information management system. The application incorporates business rules to determine whether individual cases have all required elements for a complete and compliant bill. The metrics of charge lag and days in accounts receivable were assessed before and after the implementation of the electronic charge voucher system. The average charge lag decreased by 7.3 days after full implementation. The total days in accounts receivable, controlling for fee schedule changes and credit balances, decreased by 10.1 days after implementation, representing a one-time revenue gain equivalent to 3.0% of total annual receipts. There are additional ongoing cost savings related to reduction of personnel and expenses related to paper charge voucher handling. Anesthesia information management systems yield financial and operational benefits by speeding up the revenue cycle and by reducing direct costs and compliance risks related to the billing and collection processes. The observed reductions in charge lag and days in accounts receivable may be of benefit in calculating the return on investment that is attributable to the adoption of anesthesia information management systems and electronic charge transmission.
