Selection as a new author for excellent research paper in accounting field by Korean Accounting Association Reveal of the importance of financial statement ‘other’ accounts was revealed for the first time [September 26, 2023] Dr. WOO Hye-jin (36, research faculty at YU Business Research Institute) from Department of Accounting and Taxation of YU (President CHOI Oe-chool) won 2023 Accounting Dissertation Award of Korean Accounting Association. <From the left, Dr. WOO Hye-jin and Professor HONG Young-eun> The Korean Accounting Association is the most authoritative academic organization in the accounting field. It was established in 1973 for the purpose of developing Korean accounting research and education and sound research activities in accounting. It selects excellent theses and gives thesis awards every year to promote accounting research by new researchers. Dr. WOO Hye-jin’s thesis <Why should information users be interested in 'other' account subjects after the introduction of K-IFRS?> is the first study to show that the ambiguity and abstractness of the classification standards contained in “other” account subjects is used strategically by managers as management's discretion in presenting financial statements has expanded, because Korea International Financial Reporting Standards (hereinafter referred to as K-IFRS) established by Korea Accounting Standards Board in 2007 to meet International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) have been mandatory for all listed companies since 2011. Currently, financial statement account items that are displayed in different ways for each company are provided in a uniform manner in the existing database system.In this study, the reliability and accuracy of the data was increased by collecting “other” account subject data used differently by individual companies using web crawling rather than using account subject classification in a standardized database system.In addition, after the introduction of K-IFRS, which is an important standard for calculating accounting information, it is significant to clarify that information users should be careful when making decisions using accounting information that includes “other” items. Dr. WOO Hye-jin said, “I would like to thank my advisor and the professors of the Department of Accounting and Taxation who taught me a lot during the research process. In connection with this doctoral thesis, I was selected for the National Research Foundation of Korea’s Humanities and Social Sciences Academic Research Professor Support Project and am currently working on “Other Account Subjects.” We will also faithfully pursue research related to ‘information usefulness.” Professor HONG Young-eun of YU Department of Accounting and Taxation, the advisor, said, “After the introduction of K-IFRS, the research results that contributed to increasing the reliability and accuracy of accounting information seems to have been recognized by the academic community. We are making more efforts to produce excellent talents in the field of accounting.”

Professor KIM Chang-seop’s research team developed “ultra-film silica nanoparticles to be used as a carbon reduction biocatalyst” Increased utility of enzyme-based green chemistry technologies through improved mass transfer and stability Published in the latest issue of Chemical Engineering Journal, an internationally renowned journal in the field of chemical engineering [September 14, 2023] '<From the left, YU Professor KIM Chang-seop, student LEE Ae-seol, and Dr. HEO Hye-ryeong> The research team of Professor KIM Chang-seop (40) and Dr. Heo Hye-ryeong (36) of YU Department of Chemistry of YU (President CHOI Oe-chool) developed micelle-based ultrafilm silica nanoparticles to be used as a carbon reduction biocatalyst. Enzymes have advantages such as high activity and selectivity, few by-products, and environmentally friendly conditions, but their use in industry is limited due to their low stability. However, Carbonic anhydrase (CA)*1 is a biocatalyst that hydrates carbon dioxide and is a protein that is receiving great attention in environmental industries as it can be used in carbon capture and sequestration (CCS) technology. Recently, Professor KIM's research team developed a biomimetic enzyme encapsulation technology to increase the stability of carbonic anhydrase enzyme and increase its industrial use as a carbon reduction biocatalyst.The research team said, “With the technology developed this time, we can utilize the biosilicification reaction of diatoms to imitate the environment and structure within diatoms*2 and at the same time protect enzymes from external stress environments. Diatom-derived silica-forming peptides and carbonic anhydride Nanoparticles with a polar silica layer were developed using micelle*3 with enzymes immobilized on the surface as a template. We succeeded in increase of enzyme stability with the silica layer of the polar membrane and succeeded in minimization of mass transfer limitations.” <Schematic diagram of a polar membrane mesoporous silica nanoparticle biocatalyst with high mass transfer efficiency and stability> Professor KIM Chang-seop, who led the research team, said, “The micelle-based ultrafilm silica nanoparticle biocatalyst developed this time showed improved stability even under carbon capture and removal technology (CCS) reaction conditions. This shows the possibility that the biocatalyst developed through this can be used in an actual industrial environment. The utilization of enzyme-based technology can be increased, and there are no restrictions on applicable enzymes or biomolecules, so we plan to conduct research to apply it to biomedical engineering applications.” LEE Ae-seol (30, Ph.D. completed) from Department of Biochemistry at YU Graduate School participated as the first author in this study and the research paper was published in the renowned international journal <Chemical Engineering Journal> in the chemical engineering field (impact factor (IF) 15.1, top tier). (within 5%) was pre-released online in the latest issue (dated October 1, 2023).This research was conducted with support from the New Researcher Support Project, the Sejong Science Fellowship Project and from the Project of Medical Research Center (MRC) of Leading Research Center supported by the Ministry of Information & Communication and National Research Foundation of Korea. [Terminology] *1 Carbonic Anhydrase (CA): A protein that reacts carbon dioxide and water to produce carbonate 10 million times faster than the natural reaction. *2 Diatoms: Single-celled microorganisms that perform photosynthesis and are abundant in the sea, but are also plankton that live in some freshwater lakes. *3 Micelles: Aggregates of surfactants such as soap gathered at a certain concentration or higher.

Significant reduction of process time and energy consumption with use of high-output light energy Expectation of application to manufacture of flexible electronic components and semiconductors Recognition of academic value through publication in an international renowned academic journal (Advanced Materials) in the field of new materials studies [September 22, 2023] A joint research team led by Professor RYU Jeong-ho of Department of Materials Science and Engineering of YU (President CHOI Oe-chool) coated existing film-type ceramic materials on metal substrate and, instead of using high-temperature heat treatment, irradiated strong light similar to that used in a camera flash for 1/1000th of a second to produce ceramic material. As the result, high performance of ceramic materials were obtained, attracting attention from academia and industry. More than 70% of electronic device components such as smartphones, tablets, computers, and TVs are made of ceramic materials.Recently, due to miniaturization and high performance of electronic devices, electronic components using ceramic materials are also being used by forming them on a substrate in the form of a thin film. However, in general, in order to properly realize the characteristics of ceramic materials, they are manufactured (sintered) with heat treatment of raw materials at high temperature of over 1,000 degree and the types of substrates to be used as base materials for the film were limited. Professor RYU's research team succeeded in development of technology to heat-treat ceramic films without any influence to heat-instable metallic substrates by momentarily exposing the ceramic film to high-output light energy using xenon gas discharge.By developing flexible electronic component manufacturing technology that was impossible with existing high-temperature heat treatment methods, the characteristics of the device were significantly improved. Through the development of this technology, which enables large-area heat treatment with instantaneous light in a simple structure, it is possible to overcome the disadvantages of processes that took dozens of hours using existing expensive laser equipment or using traditional electric furnaces and it is expected that the potential for commercial application will be high. <Overview of heat treatment technology for flexible ceramic thin film materials using high-energy light> Professor RYU said, “We have developed a photothermal treatment technology that dramatically reduces the time and energy consumption required in the high-temperature heat treatment process of existing electric furnaces and overcomes the limitations of the substrates that make up electronic components. It is expected to be applicable not only to manufacturing parts with optical, electrical, and magnetic properties of ceramic materials on polymer substrates or flexible metal substrates, which are essential for the development of flexible devices that can be attached to the human body, which have recently attracted attention, but also to semiconductor heat treatment processes. This study was conducted through the National Research Foundation of Korea's mid-career researcher support project and was jointly conducted by Professor RYU Jeong-ho of YU, Professor PARK Jeong-hwan of Kumoh National Institute of Technology, Professor HWANG Geon-tae of Pukyong National University, and Professor Priya of Pennsylvania State University.The research paper was published on August 10, 2023, in the world-class academic journal <Advanced Materials, Impact Index (IF) 32.086> in the field of new materials studies, and was recognized for its technological originality and academic merit.

The first foreigner to receive an honorary doctorate from Western University in Cambodia... Contribution in cultivation of Cambodian talents and national development A model case for development of developing countries through national cooperation and talent training beyond academic exchanges among universities Since 2014, as an advisor to the Prime Minister of Cambodia, advisement on major national policies resulting in a strong relationship of trust A series of love calls to spread the “Saemaul Undong” from the government, legislature, and major organizations A request to expand the dual degree system to the Department of Computer Engineering and IT-related departments following the Department of Saemaul Economic Development [September 04, 2023] The fact that President CHOI Oe-chool of YU received an honorary doctorate in education from Western University in Cambodia on August 14 is attracting public attention.President CHOI is the first case that an honorary doctorate is awarded to a foreigner at Western University. Especially, a clear merit is required to award a degree in Cambodia as it requires an official approval process from the government (Ministry of Education, Youth, and Sports). President CHOI was recognized for his contribution in cultivation of Cambodian talent and in national development by supporting the Department of Saemaul Economic Development at Western University. He played a decisive role in helping Korean education and culture, and Saemaul Studies take root in Cambodia. President CHOI, who serves as an advisor to Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen, has continuously received direct requests from the Prime Minister and Deputy Prime Minister Yim Chhay Ly to teach Saemaul Studies and the first fruit of this effort is the Department of Saemaul Economic Development at Western University.YU supported establishment and operation of the Department of Saemaul Economic Development and jointly operates the 2+2 dual degree system at Western University.The first new students were admitted in 2022 and, after attending Western University for two years, they will be transferred to the Department of Saemaul Economic Development at YU in 2024 and study Saemaul Studies in Korea for two years. After graduation, they will get bachelor's degrees simultaneously from Western University and YU. Especially, there are high expectations for expansion of academic exchanges with YU because the foundation affiliated with Western University is the only educational foundation in Cambodia which operates all educational programs from kindergarten to doctoral programs.In the business discussion between the two universities before the honorary doctorate award ceremony to President CHOI, Western University repeatedly requested to expand the dual degree system to various academic fields such as computer engineering and IT-related departments. He also played a major role in establishment and execution of Cambodia's national policies.President CHOI has been serving as an advisor to the Prime Minister of Cambodia since 2014 and as a government policy advisor on various projects in the field of Cambodian national development, especially rural development in Cambodia utilizing the Saemaul Undong.And President CHOI supported more than 50 people from the Cambodian government and major institutions for their master's degree courses since he was the first director of YU Park Chung-hee Graduate School of Saemaul (PSPS) that was established in 2011.Students who studied at YU are currently working as high-level policy makers and working-level managers in major government ministries in Cambodia. On August 14th, a degree award ceremony was held for President CHOI at Western University with attendance of Chairman Te Laurent, President Kieng Rotana, academic affairs committee members, professors, staff, students of the university and public officials from YU Park Chung-hee Graduate School of Saemaul. Cambodian Vice Minister Touch Visalsok of Education and Youth Education attended the degree award ceremony and personally explained the background of the award of the honorary doctorate.Vice Minister Touch Visalsok said, “The government is evaluating President CHOI Oe-chool’s contribution in the development of Cambodia and I believe that exchanges and cooperation between Western University and YU will greatly contribute in the spread of the Saemaul Undong in Cambodia. The Saemaul Studies dual degree system of both universities is expected to play a mediating role for expansion beyond the cooperation between both universities to the cooperation between both countries.The government will continue to provide support with a sense of responsibility.” It is indicated how important the role of Korea and YU is for the development of Cambodia. President CHOI said, “As an educator and Saemaul Studies researcher, I have only made small efforts to cultivate talent in developing countries, including Cambodia, and I am grateful for the honor of receiving the honorary doctorate. I believe that people should be respected and be able to enjoy a humane life regardless of gender, occupation, or income level.We will strive to improve the quality of life of many people around the world who are experiencing difficulties.” The reason why President CHOI's award of an honorary doctorate is attracting international attention is because it is evaluated as an exemplary case that goes beyond academic exchanges between universities and provides logic for cultivating talents in developing countries and establishing policies for national development.President CHOI established and developed the Saemaul Undong, one of the key driving forces of Korea's development experience, into Saemaul Studies.And, since President Yoon Seok-yeol took office, Korea has significantly expanded its ODA project budget and is actively pursuing related projects.The close exchanges with developing countries that are taking place at the university level are drawing further attention in that they are leading the expansion of policy exchanges between countries. Cambodian Deputy Prime Minister Yim Chhay Ly also welcomed President CHOI’s award of an honorary doctorate. On August 14th, Deputy Prime Minister Yim Chhay Ly met with President Choi and congratulated him on receiving his degree.Deputy Prime Minister Yim Chhay Ly, facing Minister Choi, said, “Thank you for serving as an advisor to the Prime Minister of Cambodia for 10 years. I hope that President CHOI and YU will continue in playing a role in the development of Cambodia in the new government led by the new Prime Minister.” President Choi has as deep trust with the Cambodian government as having served as an advisor to the Prime Minister for 10 years since 2014. Therefore, they continued to request an advisory role in the recent election of a new prime minister. This is why the relationship between YU and Cambodia is expected to grow even more after President CHOI received an honorary doctorate. Love calls are continuing not only from the Cambodian government but also from the legislature and major institutions. On August 16th, Cambodian National Assembly member Suos Yara (Chairman of the National Assembly Foreign Affairs Committee) met President CHOI and actively requested the establishment and operation of Saemaul University in Cambodia. National Assembly member Suos Yara said, “We are building infrastructure, such as constructing a new building, to establish Saemaul University. Support from YU is desperately needed for systematic operation of Saemaul University. I hope YU will serve as an operating and advisory member of Saemaul University”He also visited YU in February of last year and requested that YU plays a role in promoting exchanges between both countries and the development of Cambodia.On August 15th, the day after the degree was awarded, President CHOI met with Sok Silo, Chairman of the Cambodia Development Center (CD Center), and discussed on expansion of Saemaul Undong in Cambodia.Chairman Sok Silo said, “Young people in Cambodia are highly interested in the Saemaul Undong.I hope that YU will expand the Saemaul Undong invitational training.” There were also congratulatory messages from prominent domestic figures. Former Prime Minister Chung Hong-won and National Assembly member Yoon Jae-ok, floor leader of the People's Power Party, sent a congratulatory video directly to the graduation ceremony, adding to the meaning of President Choi's award of an honorary doctorate. President CHOI said, “In the past, Korea made the foundation for economic development by receiving material and institutional support from the international community, including the United Nations. As the result, today, Korea has risen from one of the world's poorest countries to a developed country. I believe that Korea, which has become an advanced country, must step forward to solve common tasks in the international community, especially to overcome poverty in developing countries. We will actively strive to share the educational and research know-how about Saemaul Undong and Korea’s development experience accumulated by YU with the international community at the university level
