“…Theoretical Background and Hypotheses 2.1. Aviation Security and Biometrics for Sustainable Airport Management Aviation safety protocols were initially created through collaboration between the International Civil Aviation Organization and the International Air Transport Association in response to a string of hijacking incidents in the late 1960s, which followed the first-ever hijacking incident in 1931 (Wang et al, 2003). Security screening for all passengers and carry-on baggage became a worldwide norm starting in the 1970s (Abeyratne, 2010), a security screening system, including a door-shaped metal detector and an X-ray machine, became standard practice in 1978 and remained largely unchanged until the 1990s.…”

Airport security has to adjust to a growing number of passengers while maintaining high levels of accuracy in screening. It is crucial for airport managers to explore and implement potential upgrades in the security process without compromising the passenger experience. Biometric technology emerges as an efficient solution, enabling secure clearance based on individual biometric features. Despite its effectiveness, both airports and passengers have been hesitant to embrace this technology. Moreover, limited research exists on passengers' attitudes towards repeat use of biometric security. To bridge this gap, our study focused on understanding passengers' initial and repeat usage intentions by examining the perceived benefits and risks associated with biometric security technology through a survey involving 327 participants. By using structural equation modeling to analyze the data, we established that both perceived benefits and risks significantly influence passengers' intention to initially adopt and repeatedly use biometric security. This research sheds light on how airport practitioners can create value for travelers while managing the challenges involved in implementing biometric security measures within airport settings.

“…It was introduced in 1989, and recognised as an official subspecialty in 1995. 4,5 Over the last two decades, emergency medicine has developed considerably, with an increasing number of board members in the Korean Society of Emergency Medicine (KSEM). In 1996, 51 emergency physicians were registered in the KSEM and, by 2011, the number had increased to 958 ( Figure 1).…”

Introduction The purpose of this study was to examine the number of publications by South Korean emergency physicians in highly cited journals and the increase in their numbers. It also sought to assess the impact factors of such publications. Methods The present study was a retrospective quantitative literature review of the publications by South Korean emergency physicians from 1996 to 2011 in the category of “emergency medicine” in the science edition of Journal Citation Reports 2011. We analysed the total number of articles published by South Korean emergency physicians and their impact factors. Results Between 1996 and 2011, the number of South Korean board-certified emergency physicians increased from 51 to 958, and 230 articles were published in 14 highly cited journals. The total impact factor (IF) of the original articles published during that period was 227.86, and the mean IF was 1.93. More than 10 articles had been published annually in the past 5 years in highly cited journals and there were over 400 South Korean board-certified emergency physicians. Conclusions Emergency medicine in South Korea started about 20 years ago, but academic productivity, indicated by at least ten articles annually in highly cited journals, was only achieved in the last five years. The mean IF of these articles was similar to that in other highly productive countries. (Hong Kong j.emerg.med. 2014;21:205-212)

“…The current state of the Korean EMSS is a result of the lack of pre-hospital protocols and physician oversight, the need for uniform data collection to develop dedicated trauma centers, and the failure of public policy to expand resources 2-7. An efficient and functional EMSS will serve a critical role in the continuing development and urbanization of South Korea.…”
