We draw on theoretical insights from criminology in using the Walk Score index to analyze walkability’s relationship to spatial crime patterns on Los Angeles city blocks. Results from our first set of negative binomial regression models show that walkability had an especially strong linear effect on robbery rates: a 24% increase in the robbery rate accompanied a 10-point increase in Walk Score on a block, controlling for the effects of local businesses and sociodemographic characteristics. Our s

Internal hernia (IH) is a rare cause of small bowel obstruction occurs when there is protrusion of an internal organ into a retroperitoneal fossa or a foramen in the abdominal cavity. IH can be presented with acute or chronic abdominal symptom and discovered by accident in operation field. However, various kinds of imaging modalities often do not provide the assistance to diagnose IH preoperatively, but computed tomography (CT) scan has a high diagnostic accuracy. We report a case of congenital

As a concept in international trade, competitiveness has received widespread interest and attention. There are many indicators of national specialization in the international trade literature. Among these indicators, we focus on Balassa’s revealed comparative advantage (RCA). The emphasis in this study will be on identifying the forces underlying the comparative advantage of the tourism industry. Empirical findings present that international tourism in Korea has relatively comparative disadvanta

The Transportation Infrastructure Finance and Innovation Act (TIFIA) program acts as the U.S. federal government’s largest direct financing program for domestic transportation infrastructure development. Employing a direct credit support mechanism, the program aims to leverage municipal and private investments to deliver higher-risk transportation projects that nevertheless offer important benefits for the public. Recent policy changes under the 2015 FAST Act may have altered the market-leveragi

We study the unintended consequences of regulation by examining how increasing regulatory requirements in one area impact firms’ voluntary social investments in other areas. We argue that increasing regulation on one social objective will have a negative impact on voluntary action on other objectives, as firms have fewer resources left over to invest in voluntary actions (income effect), and as they reprioritize their efforts towards the regulated objective (substitution effect). We test our the

<h3>Background</h3> 5T4 (also known as trophoblast glycoprotein; TPBG) is highly expressed across a wide range of solid cancer indications, including NSCLC (non-small cell lung cancer), head and neck, colorectal, gastric, renal, pancreatic, bladder, breast, ovarian and cervical cancers, with limited expression in normal tissues, making it an attractive target as a tumor-specific antigen. CD47 (Cluster of Differentiation 47), a ubiquitously expressed innate immune checkpoint receptor, is also ove

In this panel symposium, we seek to discuss current approaches on measuring corporate environmental performance, their advantages and drawbacks, and promising paths for moving forward not only for management scholars but also for practitioners. To that end, we structure the symposium along three core topics; 1) context specific advantages and disadvantages of using different measures and the possible ways to overcome identified disadvantages; 2) reflection on the recent efforts in standardizing

Bio-clusters have been established in Korea since the late 1990s, with active efforts to foster the national bio-industry beginning in the early 2000s. This study examines the effects of Korean bio-cluster characteristics and open innovation activities on the innovation performance of biopharmaceutical firms to explore future development directions for these clusters. In this study, innovation performance is proxied by firms’ sales revenue (log-transformed) as a financial outcome of innovation a

벤처투자조합을 통한 스타트업 투자가 증가하고 민간 주도의 벤처투자를 활성화하려는 시도가 계속되고 있지만, 벤처투자조합은 정책적 목적으로 자본시장법과는 별도의 제도로 발전해 왔다. 이로 인해 벤처투자조합은 사모집합투자기구와 그 실질이 동일함에도 각기 다른 법률로 규율되었고, 그 결과 벤처투자조합의 결성이나 벤처투자조합으로부터 투자를 받는 스타트업에 자본시장법상 공모 규제를 어떻게 적용할지에 대한 논란이 발생했다. 즉, 스타트업이 벤처투자조합의 투자를 받아 자금을 조달할 때 벤처투자조합의 조합원의 숫자와 종류를 기준으로 청약권유 대상자가 50인 이상인 경우 자본시장법상 공모 규제의 적용을 받아 증권신고서를 제출할 의무가 있다고 해석해야 하는지에 대한 것이다.이 글에서는 벤처투자조합을 단순 도관으로 보아 스타트업에 투자하는 각 벤처투자조합의 조합원 수를 기준으로 스타트업이 공모에 따른 공시 의무를 부담하도록 하기보다는, 벤처투자조합이 결성되는 과정과 스타트업이 해당 벤처투자조합으로부터 자

1449 Objectives Focal equivocal F-18 FDG uptake in vertebrae is a relatively common finding on PET/CT images of patients with underlying malignancy. The aim of this study was to investigate the rate of metastasis of these lesions and to determine those image findings most valuable for differentiating benign from metastatic lesions. Methods We retrospectively reviewed medical records of patients with underlying malignancy who underwent PET/CT from January 2009 to December 2010. Only patients who

벤처투자조합의 결성을 통한 스타트업 투자가 증가하고 있음에도 불구하고 관련 정책과 규제 측면의 논의에 집중되어 효율적인 분쟁 해결의 전제가 되는 벤처투자조합의 법적 성격이나 소송 당사자능력에 대한 검토는 부족했다. 특히, 벤처투자조합은 벤처투자촉진에 관한 법률 및 여신전문금융업법의 법적 근거에 따라 거의 같은 구조로 결성됨에도 관련 분쟁 발생시 개별 사건 별로 벤처투자조합의 법적 성격과 소송 당사자능력을 검토하고 있다. 이로 인해 벤처투자조합의 소송 당사자능력에 대한 판결이 일관되지 않아 실무상 혼란이 지속되고 벤처투자조합과 관련한 분쟁의 효율적 해결이 용이하지 않다.이에 본 논문은 벤처투자조합의 소송 당사자능력과 관련한 판례의 태도를 검토하고, 미국 및 일본과의 비교법적 분석을 통해 벤처투자조합의 법적 성격을 명확히 하고 벤처투자조합의 소송 당사자 능력을 입법으로 인정할 것을 제안한다. 상법상 합자조합의 특수한 형태로서의 벤처투자조합의 법적 성격을 명확히 하고, 법률 개정을 통해
