This research was focused on a comparative analysis of using LNG as a marine fuel with a conventional marine gas oil (MGO) from an environmental point of view. A case study was performed using a 50K bulk carrier engaged in domestic services in South Korea. Considering the energy exporting market for South Korea, the fuel supply chain was designed with the two largest suppliers: Middle East (LNG-Qatar/MGO-Saudi Arabia) and U.S. The life cycle of each fuel type was categorized into three stages: Well-to-Tank (WtT), Tank-to-Wake (TtW), and Well-to-Wake (WtW). With the process modelling, the environmental impact of each stage was analyzed based on the five environmental impact categorizes: Global Warming Potential (GWP), Acidification Potential (AP), Photochemical Potential (POCP), Eutrophication Potential (EP) and Particulate Matter (PM). Analysis results reveal that emission levels for the LNG cases are significantly lower than the MGO cases in all potential impact categories. Particularly, Case 1 (LNG import to Korea from Qatar) is identified as the best option as producing the lowest emission levels per 1.0 × 107 MJ of fuel consumption: 977 tonnages of CO2 equivalent (for GWP), 1.76 tonnages of SO2 equivalent (for AP), 1.18 tonnages of N equivalent (for EP), 4.28 tonnages of NMVOC equivalent (for POCP) and 26 kg of PM 2.5 equivalent (for PM). On the other hand, the results also point out that the selection of the fuel supply routes could be an important factor contributing to emission levels since longer distances for freight transportation result in more emissions. It is worth noting that the life cycle assessment can offer us better understanding of holistic emission levels contributed by marine fuels from the cradle to the grave, which are highly believed to remedy the shortcomings of current marine emission indicators.

This study quantified the uncertainties in historical and future average monthly precipitation based on different bias correction methods, General Circulation Models (GCMs), Representative Concentration Pathways (RCPs), projection periods, and locations within the study area (i.e., the coastal and inland areas of South Korea). The GCMs were downscaled using deep learning, random forest, and nine quantile mapping bias correction methods for 22 gauge stations in South Korea. Data from the Korean Meteorology Administration (1970–2005) were used as the reference data in this study. Two statistical measures, the standard deviation and interquartile range, were used to quantify the uncertainties. The probability distribution density was used to assess the similarity/variation in rainfall distributions. For the historical period, the uncertainty in the selection of bias correction methods was greater than that in the selection of GCMs, whereas the opposite pattern was observed for the projection period. The projection period had the lowest level of uncertainty in the selection of RCP scenarios, and for the future, the uncertainly related to the time period was slightly lower than that for the other sources but was much greater than that for the RCP selection. In addition, it was clear that the level of uncertainty of inland areas is much lower than that of coastal areas. The uncertainty in the selection of the GCMs was slightly greater than that in the selection of the bias correction method. Therefore, the uncertainty in the selection of coastal areas was intermediate between the selection of bias correction methods and GCMs. This paper contributes to an improved understanding of the uncertainties in climate change projections arising from various sources.

<p class="Abstract">Nowadays, the cosmetic industry is developing very quickly. Many&nbsp;<span style="font-size: 1rem;">inventions occur mainly in France, but also in other parts of the world&nbsp;</span><span style="font-size: 1rem;">as in South Korea. It is undeniable that South Korea being the 10th&nbsp;</span><span style="font-size: 1rem;">largest market in the world produces varieties of cosmetic brands&nbsp;</span><span style="font-size: 1rem;">known worldwide. The beauty routine that is called &amp;quot;10 steps of skin&nbsp;</span><span style="font-size: 1rem;">care&amp;quot; is introduced by this country and become the new inspiration&nbsp;</span><span style="font-size: 1rem;">among women. This study focuses specifically on the image of the&nbsp;</span><span style="font-size: 1rem;">French brand in Korean cosmetics. Indeed, the brand of a cosmetic is&nbsp;</span><span style="font-size: 1rem;">really relevant to promote its image with partners and customers. It&nbsp;</span><span style="font-size: 1rem;">also associates with the culture of a country of origin. France as a&nbsp;</span><span style="font-size: 1rem;">country with large beauty products market influences the selection of&nbsp;</span><span style="font-size: 1rem;">brands in Korean cosmetics. Some Korean beauty products use French&nbsp;</span><span style="font-size: 1rem;">in their brands. It is considered that the superiority of the French&nbsp;</span><span style="font-size: 1rem;">language can enhance the value of a cosmetic brand. These brands&nbsp;</span><span style="font-size: 1rem;">also express the similarity between South Korea and France, the&nbsp;</span><span style="font-size: 1rem;">concept of natural cosmetics.</span></p>

Opponents of secularization theory often emphasize that what can be said about religion in Europe cannot be applied to other regions of the world. They regularly refer to non-European countries where processes of modernization and religious revitalization have gone hand in hand. Therefore, to determine the role of religion in the modern world and the reasons for its changes means dealing with non-European societies. This short introductory chapter to Part IV explains the selection of the three case studies to be discussed in more detail in the chapters that follow: the US, South Korea, and the Pentecostal movement.
