Climate change is one of the biggest dangers facing all living creatures in the earth. It has been understood that emissions of greenhouse gases from human activity is the cause of climate change. Cars are responsible for around 12% of total EU emissions of CO2, the main greenhouse gas. The United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC or FCCC) is an international environmental treaty adopted at the United Nations Conference on Environment and Development (UNCED) on 9 May, 1992, which entered into force on 21 March 1994. The European Commission first adopted a Community Strategy to reduce CO2 emissions from cars in 1995. On 19 December 2007, the European Commission proposed "Proposal for Setting emission performance standards for new passenger cars to reduce CO2 emissions", which was adopted on 23 April 2009 as "Regulation (EC) No 443/2009". Prior to submitting the Proposal, the European Commission performed impact assessment and prepared impact assessment report which was reviewed by the Impact Assessment Board. The objective of this Regulation is to set emission performance standards for new passenger cars registered in the Community, which forms part of the Community's integrated approach to reducing CO2 emissions from light-duty vehicles while ensuring the proper functioning of the internal market. In the event that a manufacturer fails to meet its target, it will be required to pay an excess emissions premium in respect of each calendar year from 2012 onwards. On 11 March 2014, Regulation (EC) No 333/2014 amending Regulation (EC) No 443/2009 was adopted. Regulation (EC) No 333/2014 amends Regulation (EC) No 443/2009 to implement the modalities of meeting the 95g CO2/km target for new passenger cars to be reached in 2020. As industry benefits from indications of the regulatory regime that would apply beyond 2020, the Regulation includes a further review to take place by, at the latest, 31 December 2014.

Endothelial cells (EC) are the anatomical boundaries between the intravascular and extravascular space. Damage to ECs is catastrophic and induces endothelial cell dysfunction. The pathogenesis is multifactorial and involves dysregulation in the signaling pathways, membrane lipids ratio disturbance, cell-cell adhesion disturbance, unfolded protein response, lysosomal and mitochondrial stress, autophagy dysregulation, and oxidative stress. Autophagy is a lysosomal-dependent turnover of intracellular components. Autophagy was recognized early in the pathogenesis of endothelial dysfunction. Autophagy is a remarkable patho (physiological) process in the cell homeostasis regulation including EC. Regulation of autophagy rate is disease-dependent and impaired with aging. Up-regulation of autophagy induces endothelial cell regeneration/differentiation and improves the function of impaired ones. The paper scrutinizes the molecular mechanisms and triggers of EC dysregulation and current perspectives for future therapeutic strategies by autophagy targeting.

Onocogene의 일종인 c-raf protein kinase는 세포질 속에 존재하는 serine / threonine-speccific protein이며, 이것은 mitogene signal에 의해 활성화된다. c-raf protein kinase의 구조와 기능은 protein kinase C와 매우 유사한 것으로 생각된다. 면역세포화학적으로 c-raf protein kinase의 signal transduction을 조사하기 위하여 EC-4 세포에 tumor promotor인 12-0-tet-radecanoylphorbol-13-acetae와 mitogenic gactor인 platelet-derived growth factor로 time-course에 따라서 처리하였다. Translocotion되는 c-raf는 먼저 perinuclear membrane에 모이고 그 후에 핵내로 이동되었다. 그런데 TPA와 PDGF로 처리한 c-raf의 translocotion은 각각의 다른 경로를 가짐을 알 수 있었다. TPA와 PAGF을 장기간 처리하였을 때, c-raf protein kinase의 down regulation이 유도됨을 알 수 있었다.

Objective: Endometrial cancer (EC) is the most common gynecologic malignancy. Identification of potential biomarkers of EC would be helpful for the detection and monitoring of malignancy, improving clinical outcomes. Methods: The Weighted Gene Co-expression Network Analysis method was used to identify prognostic markers for EC in this study. Moreover, underlying molecular mechanisms were characterized by KEGG pathway enrichment and transcriptional regulation analyses. Results: Seven gene co-expression modules were obtained, but only the turquoise module was positively related with EC stage. Among the genes in the turquoise module, COL5A2 (collagen, type V, alpha 2) could be regulated by PBX (pre-B-cell leukemia homeobox 1)1/2 and HOXB1(homeobox B1) transcription factors to be involved in the focal adhesion pathway; CENP-E (centromere protein E, 312kDa) by E2F4 (E2F transcription factor 4, p107/p130-binding); MYCN (v-myc myelocytomatosis viral related oncogene, neuroblastoma derived [avian]) by PAX5 (paired box 5); and BCL-2 (B-cell CLL/lymphoma 2) and IGFBP-6 (insulin-like growth factor binding protein 6) by GLI1. They were predicted to be associated with EC progression via Hedgehog signaling and other cancer related-pathways. Conclusions: These data on transcriptional regulation may provide a better understanding of molecular mechanisms and clues to potential therapeutic targets in the treatment of EC.

Sustainable development has always been the top agenda of many governments. Especially, the concept of 'Ecological Civilisation (EC)' is gaining substantial attention from China's new leaders. However, regional government officers may manipulate or change top level policy in order to suit their own interests or if they are unable to meet the varied pressures of achieving the set measures. Thus, policy makers can unwittingly cause a negative or positive impact on the firms or regional development through the implementation of EC regulations and the requirement to measure, monitor and report performance measurement (PM) information. This can potentially have significant consequences for the firms, the industry sector, and China as a whole. The aim of this research is to explore and evaluate previous work focusing on the relationship and links between regulation and PM. This research will make a significant knowledge contribution to the emerging and yet important area in EC related research. A good understanding of the linkages between PM and EC will assist policy makers to better formulate suitable regulatory control mechanisms at the field level. Moreover, they may take the PM and EC linkages into consideration when setting policy frameworks by minimizing the negative effects and take advantages of the positive consequences.

본 논문에서는 탑승거부와 관련한 EC 261/2004 규칙의 규정 및 그에 관한 판결들을 검토해 보았다. 항공여객운송 분쟁과 관련하여 빈번히 발생하는 탑승거부는 그 의미가 EC 261/2004 규칙상으로 그리 명확한 것은 아니지만, 앞서 살펴본 EU 판결들에서 어느 정도 그 범위에 관한 해석기준을 제시되어 있다. 일반적으로 탑승거부는 초과예약으로 인해 발생한 경우를 상정하는 것이 기존의 관점이었지만, 일련의 EU 판례에 따라 EC 261/2004 규칙상의 탑승거부에 다양한 경우의 탑승거부 사례들이 포함되게 되었다. 즉, 탑승거부의 개념과 범위가 포괄적으로 확대되고 보다 적극적인 항공소비자 보호가 실현될 수 있을 것으로 보인다. 이와 같은 관점에서 논문의 결론으로서 몇 가지 시사점들을 제시해 보고자 한다. 첫째, EC 261/2004 규칙상 탑승거부의 개념에는 초과예약으로 인해 발생한 탑승거부만이 아닌 다양한 경우의 탑승거부 사례들이 포함될 필요가 있다. 이는 EC규칙이 항공소비자의 권리보호를 제정목적으로 하고 있다는 점, 초과예약에 의한 탑승거부만을 규칙에서 의미하는 탑승거부만으로 볼 경우 항공여객의 권리구제가 훼손될 수 있다는 점, EC항공여객보상규칙 제2조 j호의 문면상 초과예약에 의한 탑승거부만으로는 결코 한정시킬 수 없다는 점 등의 이유 때문이다. 둘째, 탑승거부와 관련하여, 항공사의 초과예약도 없었고 항공사의 별도 과실이나 귀책사유도 발견되지 않은 경우, 여기서 그 원인의 본질에 EC 261/2004 규칙상의 특별한 사정이 존재하고 있는 경우에는 그 특별한 사정의 판단을 적절하게 고려할 필요가 있다. Finnair 판결에서는 파업과 같은 특별한 사정으로 인해 결항이 발생하였고, 연결항공편의 일정 조정은 불가피한 것이었음에도, 그러한 과정에서 탑승거부가 발생하였다. 여기서 항공운송인의 과실 내지는 귀책을 명확하게 찾을 수 없었다는 점이 중요하다. 법원은 이 경우에도 운송인의 보상책임을 인정하고 있는데, 결항의 원인이 항공운송인이 모든 합리적인 조치를 취했어도 피할 수 없었던 파업에 의해 발생한 것이라면 특별한 사정의 판단이 적용되어야 할 필요성이 있다. 셋째, EC 261/2004 규칙상 탑승거부와 결항의 경우에는 여객에게 금전보상이 이루어지고, 항공지연의 경우에는 금전보상이 아니라 대체항공편과 같은 항공사의 적절한 지원책만이 제공되고 있다. 만약 제1항공편과 제2항공편으로 연결항공에 의한 환승이 포함되어 있는 항공일정이 있을 때, 천재지변에 의해 제1항공편이 지연되었다. 지연은 되었으나 가까스로 여객은 제2항공편에 탑승게이트에 도착하였다. 이 경우의 문제는 어떻게 해결하여야 하는지가 문제이다. 제1항공편의 지연은 천재지변으로 특별한 사정에 해당하여 항공사는 면책을 주장할 수 있지만, 제2항공편의 탑승거부도 그렇게 주장할 수 있는지 명확하지 않다. Finnair 판결의 취지를 따르면, 제2항공편의 탑승거부에 대한 항공운송인의 보상의무가 가능할 수 있는데, 항공운송인이 아무런 과실과 귀책이 없는 경우에도 보상이 가능한 것인지 의문이다. 또한 동일한 원인으로 발생한 지연과 탑승거부에 대해 이처럼 다른 보상기준이 적용될 수 있는지도 문제이다. 향후의 EU사법재판소 판례가 EC 261/2004 규칙의 해석과 적용상 이러한 문제를 어떠한 방식으로 접근할 것인지 기대된다.

The objective of this paper is to compare the site-to-site variability of ISO 10844 pass by the noise test sites. In order to investigate the site-to-site variance of test surfaces, European commercial tires are tested at seven different test sites. Three Korea test sites and four Europe test sites are selected. The pass by noise test is done according to a 2001/43/EC regulation. Although the ISO surface has a very specific track composition, it does not reduce the variation of pass by noise measurements over the surface of test sites. This paper shows that the test results of pass by noise level are different depending on the test sites. The correlation obtained in this work is able to predict the pass by noise level for certain test site using the data measured from another test site. The prediction value is range with an error within 1dB(A).

A Liner Conference can be defined as "a group of two or more vessel operating carriers which provide international liner services for the carriage of cargo on a particular route or routes within specific geographical limits and which has an agreement or arrangement within the framework of which they operate under uniform or common freight rates and any other agreed conditions with respect to the provisions of the liner services". This study reviews maritime transport policy regarding liner conference and the changes in the liner market over the decades. Liner shipping industry has long been protected from competition by block exemption. The repeal of the block exemption for liner conferences and the abolition of any special EC antitrust regime for the shipping industry marks an important step in European maritime competition policy. This article examines the origins and the rationale of the EC antitrust immunity granted so far th the shipping industry and explains the causes of this historic changes. The abolition of Regulation 4056/86 and of the EU commitment to the UN Code of Conduct marks an historical evolution in international maritime policy, which will have an influence far beyond the EU.

The Korean Conflict of Laws Act recently incorporated much of the European Union's recent revision in "EC Convention on the Law Applicable to Contractual Obligations (Rome 1980)"(hereinafter Rome Convention). With the revision of Rome Convention applied to contractual obligations,"Regulation (EC) No 593/2008 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 17 June 2008 on the law applicable to contractual obligations (Rome I)"(hereinafter Rome I) has taken effect on December 2009. Before the effectivation of Rome I, "Regulation (EC) No 864/2007 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 11 July 2007 on the law applicable to non-contractual obligations (Rome II)"(hereinafter Rome II) has come into effect on January 2009. This means the revision of certain rules and its practical implications need an in-depth study on governing law rules under Rome I which provides newly effected governing laws applicable to contractual obligations. Moreover, uniform choice of law rules on non-contractual obligations needs to focus especially on marine insurance contract. Where policy assignment and subrogation causes, how to decide the governing law which will be applied to the insurer as a third party? This article attempts to analyze emerging legal issues in legal regimes determining choice of law, especially those in international marine insurance contracts. This will help Korean practitioners to be dialed in legal affairs under English Law as the governing law in their contracts.
