Background : Euthanasia is defined as "a deliberate intervention undertaken with express intention of ending a life so as to relieve intractable suffering". There have been keen debates in the medical literatures on the questions relating to the legalisation and the provision of euthanasia and physician-assisted suicide. Methods : Literatures on the debate of euthanasia published during the last several years were reviewed, and the indications used in performing euthanasia were listed. And the results of a more liberal policy on euthanasia in Netherland were introduced. Results : Other clinical practices are sometimes described as euthanasia but can be distinguished by examination of ethical principles involved. The guidelines for the practice of euthanasia and physician-assisted suicide in the Netherlands were inadquate and were abused, while the Remmelink Committee Report said that euthanasia in the Netherland had been adequate. Conclusions : There are no clinical situations necessitating the legalisation of euthanasia or physician assisted suicide. Comprehensive and mutidisciplinary palliative care can effectively relieve much of the suffering of the terminally ill that is presently cited as justification for euthanasia or physician-assisted suicide.

The methodology report '2006 IPCC Guidelines for National Greenhouse Gas Inventories' shows higher tier method can be a good practice, which uses country-specific or plant-specific data when calculating greenhouse gas emissions by country. We review the methodology report to present principles of using plant-level data and also examine examples of using plant-level data in chemical and metal industry in 20 countries for the purpose of quality improvement of national greenhouse gas inventories. We propose that Korea consider utilizing plant-level data, as reported according to 'Greenhouse gas and Energy Target Management Scheme', in the following order as a preference. First, the data can be utilized for quality control of Korea's own parameters, when Tier 2 method is adopted and bottom-up approach is not applicable. Second, both plant-level data and IPCC default data can be used together, combining Tier 1 method with Tier 3 method. Third, we can also use acquired plant-level data and country specific parameters, combining Tier 2 method with Tier 3 method. Fourth, if the plant-level data involves all categories of emissions and the data is proven to be representative, we can apply Tier 3 method. In this case, we still need to examine the data to check its reliability by a consistent framework, including appropriate quality control.

This study explores the development strategies, impact, and limitations of public library makerspaces through active case studies. By examining related literature reviews, this study analyzes principles, objectives, programs, services, and strategies of public library makerspaces. Survey results from library staff and makerspace program participants show that both groups perceived the value and the effects of makerspaces positively; however, they suggested the need for greater program variety and accessibility. Additionally, this study evaluates makerspace programs through in-depth interviews with makerspace staff. Interview results raise diverse issues, including the need to further explore the justifications for and values of public library makerspaces, stable funding strategies, and phase-by-phase operating guidelines.

As artificial intelligence (AI) is emphasized in elementary and secondary school education, interest in AI-applied class activities is increasing. Since AI is taught across various subjects in schools, teachers must plan lessons based on the principles of convergence education. In this paper, the concept of convergence education and matters to be considered for productive class activities were reviewed. Then, considerations for designing AI classes in schools are presented in the following aspects: characteristics of AI education in schools; educational goals for each school level in the general guidelines of the national curriculum; resources to be referenced when composing class content; perspectives on AI-applied software; and anticipated instructional procedures. As a suggestion, the following is presented. First, it is necessary to derive competencies that can be cultivated by AI education in school. Second, it is necessary to specify the design elements and procedures of AI classes based on the subject characteristics.

In this paper, we modeled the methods and steps of reflective writing education that effectively utilizes GPT to enable actual classes. In this paper, we sought a teaching model that can be effectively utilized in self-reflective writing education in a reality where it is physically and practically difficult to prevent the use of an artificial intelligence writing machine called GPT. First, in the preparation stage, we made students understand the operating principles of GPT and educated the application team, while suggesting a teaching method using GPT to model and personalize writing ideas. Afterwards, an example of the task was given. Second, in the stage of using GPT, we showed how to model and internalize writing ideas using GPT according to the process of outlining, paragraphing, and reviewing reflective writing. Third, in the organizing stage, the instructor helped learners edit and make final edits to their writing and presented a process of organizing and reflecting.

The purpose of the study is to develop a license model which could be used as guidelines during the process of contracting for the use of electronic journals in the academic libraries. The study was done through the following 4 steps. First, through the analysis of previous related literature, the study examined the licensing principles, the structure of the license, the relationship between copyright and contracts, and the development of license models in the library. Secondly, through the analysis of the basic structure of 5 representative license models abroad and 2 domestic licenses, the study established the basic structure of license model. Thirdly, a questionnaire was conducted on library licensee and the vendor licensor in order to find out the present states and problems of library contracting and their opinion on the core clauses of the contract. Lastly, having based on the results of the investigations mentioned above, the study finally developed the license model.

This paper provides the basic technical and safety criteria to guide establishing the reference HLW geological repository system that has been developing based on the recommendations from the international organizations such as IAEA and ICRP as well as the comparison of the regulations of several leading countries in HLW disposal. The proposed criteria and guidelines were categorized by the basic principles and general criteria for the radiological safety and the functional criteria of the repository system components. They would be useful for the development of the national regulations and criteria for HLW disposal in the future. They, of course, will be revised based on the deep geological investigation in Korean Peninsular which will be implemented in the future.

Purpose: To develop therapeutic duplication criteria for the drugs used for respiratory diseases. Method: Therapeutic duplication was defined as "more than 2 drug ingredient-usage in which each has the same therapeutic effect and combination therapy does not confer additional therapeutic benefit". Respiratory system drugs approved in Korea were examined for the study. The WHO's Anatomical Therapeutic Chemical Classification System was used for grouping of the corresponding drug ingredients. The principles and recommendations on combination usage or multiple drug regimens were reviewed by using the clinical practice guidelines, textbooks, product labelings, and clinical articles. Clinical expert group consultation was performed and expert opinions were incorporated into the final criteria. Results: Nine hundred sixty two drug products with Korean Food and Drug Administration classification codes of 141, 149, 222, and 229 were evaluated, of which 87 active ingredients were composed. The drug ingredients were classified into 12 groups (antihistamines, oral nasal decongestants, leukotriene receptor antagonists, inhaled anticholinergics, inhaled corticosteroids, oral ${\beta}2$-agonists, long-acting ${\beta}2$-agonists, short-acting ${\beta}2$-agonists, xanthines, antiallergics, mucolytics and cough suppressants). The use of more than 2 drug ingredients including the same group was therapeutic duplication, and thus combination should be recommended not to be used. Conclusion: Twelve drug groups were identified as therapeutic duplication criteria. Combination therapy within each group should not be used otherwise therapeutic benefits outweigh potential risks.
