In modern capitalistic society, the harmed consumers like consumer complaints etc. are increasing day by day being caused by mass production and mass consumption etc. These consumer damages can come out as many types, but can be the most typical form. If there is a majority of the small sum damage, being saved by legal procedures is a fact that many consumers renounce it for long time, lots of expense and the complexity of the process etc. So, the government enforces consumer groups suit and collective dispute mediation system revising Framework Act on consumer. Specially, collective dispute mediation system, one of the ADR, saves the harmed consumers and accomodates efficiency in management of consumer dispute settlement commission by dealing with it collectively if the same or similar damage without a legal procedure happens to a great number of consumers. However, collective consumer dispute mediation system also has a number of problems. Therefore, this thesis is looking into the function and procedure of the collective consumer dispute mediation system on Framework Act on consumer as well as its problems and ways of improving it.

This study proposes a practical adjustment equation for the Embrittlement Trend Curve (ETC) to effectively apply it to reactor pressure vessel (RPV) materials in individual nuclear power plants. Traditional ETC adjustment methods have limitations due to constraints in number of group-specific measurements and a lack of statistical foundations. To address these issues, KAERI applied a Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC)-based mixed-effect model to the latest ETC model, ASTM E900-15. This approach quantitatively calculates the mean, standard deviation, and prediction intervals of the adjustment intercept by considering the grouping characteristics of surveillance data and uncertainties in unirradiated specimens. Although the KAERI model provides quantitative distributions of parameters and intercepts, it has challenges in practical applications due to computational complexity and low portability. In this study, a simplified equation was developed using the statistical calculations of the mixed-effect model, which retains the primary outcomes of the KAERI model while enhancing portability. This equation supports effective adjustments to the ASTM E900-15 ETC for nuclear power plants with diverse material properties and operational conditions. It enables reliable evaluations of RPV integrity using plant-specific surveillance data. The findings of this study are expected to improve the precision and practicality of ETCs.

Criminal Mediation System in Korea, it did pilot operation by Crime Victim Support Centers such as Daejeon and other two District Prosecutors' Office in April 2006. And starting 2007, Crime Victim Support Centers and Criminal Mediation System conducted from 57 District Attorney's Office and Branch Offices and now 2016, Criminal Mediation System is operated in all the District Attorney's Office. On the other hand, the Attorney General's Office established the 'Criminal mediation practical operating instructions' in October 2009 and created its legal basis at "Crime Victims Protection Act" in September 2010. It seems that the criminal mediation have to operate as the direction for supporting crime victims recovery. However, it seems that the overall infrastructure of the criminal mediation system is built. But I have experienced this through G Attorney's Office as a Criminal mediator activity from 2007 to 2016 now, some issues have emerged such as weak on personal safety in criminal mediation room, etc. Thus, in this paper, I will examine the problems about this and propose improvements of criminal mediation system to fit the practical criminal mediation.

This paper is concerned with the relationships between optimal number of wavelengths and tuning time in time division multiplexing(TDM) scheduling on wavelength division multiplexing(WDM) optical passive star networks. We assume that the traffic is nonuniform and each node has a tunable transmitter and a fixed receiver. Each node transmits spckets to all other nodes. Most of the earlier protocols on TDM based scheduling for WDM star networks [7, 8, etc.] use whold given wavelength chnnels. But in this paper, we investigate the optimal number of wavelengths that yidels minimum frame length when tuning time exists. It appears within the availble number of wavelengths that yields minimum frame length when tuning time exists. It appears within the available number of wavelengths. We analyze the relationships between optimal number of wavelengths and tuning time by experiments. We analyze the reationships between optimal number of wavelengths and tuning time by experiments. We also discuss on the possibility of reduction of frame length by increasing the number of nodes trans-mitters and receivers.

The research and implementation was preformed on high-resolution CCTV camera with CCD exclusive DSP conventional analog signal processor CCTV camera has its limit on auto exposure(AE), auto white balance(AWB), back light compensation(BLC) processing, severe distortion and noise of image, manual control parameter setting, etc. In our study, to resolve the problems in conventional CCTV camera, we made it possible to control AE, AWB, BLC automatically by the use of the DSP, which are used exclusively in the CCD camera produced domestically, and the microcontroller. And we utilized the function of screen display of microcontroller for the user-friendly interface to control CCD camera. And the electronic variable resister(EVR) was used to avoid setting parameters manually in the level of manufacturing process. As the result, It became possible to control parameters of the camera by program. And the cost-down effect was accomplished by improving the reliability of parameter values and reducing the efforts in setting parameters.

A study on the global trend of accreditation for mediators implies many important aspects of controlling of the quality of mediation. Firstly, whether or not having an accreditation system, most European countries and the U.S. have a common understanding on the fact that mediators need to be trained to mediate disputes, apart from their own expertise on the subject matters. Secondly, private-led accreditation has been utilized in countries having a Anglo-American law system such as the United Kingdom and the U.S. a while nation-managed one has been operated in the countries having a continental law system such as Austria, Belgium, Italy and Germany. Thirdly, private mediation service providers (usually institutions or companies) play an active role in the training and accreditation of mediators and further make them act as mediators in the disputes referred to them. Fourthly, the countries having a nation-managed accreditation system usually stipulate a certain mediation training and accreditation requirement by law. Fifthly, there is no uniform trend on the minimum hours of training required for accrediting the mediators. Sixthly, mediation training generally focuses on the practical mediation capacity-building, including mediation theory and role-playing, mediation simulations, peer review and supervision. And finally, the mediation theory mainly includes the role of mediator, mediation procedures, mediation communication, negotiation and communication skills, mediation ethics and mediator's code of conduct, etc.

This paper is to provide an analysis on the European Globalisation Adjustment Fund(EGF) program and the study of European Member State. Established in December 2006, the EGF was originally intended to help workers who were affected by redundancies resulting from globalisation. The EGF at present also provides support to workers who were made redundant as a direct result of the global financial and economic crisis. In general, EGF measures are defined as assistance actions for job search, training, upskilling, outplacement, business start-up, etc. The paper focuses on the cases implemented by EGF for redundant workers harmed by globalisation and by a direct result of the global financial & economic crisis, and also focuses on the statistical portrait of the EGF 2007-2011. In addition, the paper provides criteria & implications of the EGF in the changing international economy. Finally, we could learn the importance of the EGF program through the analysis in this paper. With criteria & implications of the EGF program, the effective application to keep workers in employment or help them back into jobs would help us get over difficulties.

Analysing the effects of expanded trade liberalization on the domestic labor market such as the flexibility of employment adjustment and the wage elasticity of employment etc. with industry base data, we get some important results as follows. The speed of employment adjustment in whole industries is turned out to be more rapid on the employee basis than on the whole worker basis. And the speed of employment adjustment is more rapid in the industries with high level of import ratio than those with high level of export ratio. In sum, viewing on the employee basis, the expanded trade liberalization makes the speed of employment adjustment slower slightly in individual industry level, and it is led mainly by the effects of export ratio rising. In case of the wage elasticity of employment, it becomes to be much higher as rates of openness or export ratios go higher, so the environment of jobless growth seems to be much more strengthened in this country.
