  • International Arbitration has distinguished itself as a method for dispute resolution that pleases both common and civil law practitioners. It, however, is not free of criticism, especially when fact-finding and evidentiary issues are at play. Perhaps because fact-finding is very closely linked to the culture in which they lie, perhaps because of the lack of a clear evidentiary rules governing international arbitration, a theory of evidence in international arbitration is still far fetched. Through the analysis of the distinctions between dispute resolution systems and the search for truth paradigm, this paper aims to develop and present an outline for the development of a theory of evidence in international arbitration.

  • Objective: The objective of this research is to develop evaluation checklist for personal office furniture and apparatus to shape comfortable and efficient worksite for workers' welfare improvement, productivity enhancement and labor force preservation, and to identify office work environment by applying the checklist. Background: Because most office workers work using computers in a sitting posture, the ratio of office workers among total musculoskeletal disorders patients is forecast to increase. In this regard, an effort to prevent and manage such musculoskeletal disorders is required. Method: This research developed evaluation checklist for personal office furniture and apparatus by examining 25 domestic and international ergonomic literature and anthropometric data. This research carried out a fact-finding survey targeting the A Office and B Office of one public agency using the checklist. Results: Although, the checklist items on desks, chairs, computers and other goods conformed to the checklist standards, the following items did not conformed: desk height adjustment, seat board depth adjustment, lumbar support depth, foot rest, wrist rest, mouse tray, headset, speaker phone and Bluetooth. Conclusion: The evaluation checklist for personal office furniture and apparatus and fact-finding survey results are considered to be used as basic data for office work environment and workers' welfare improvement. Application: The information drawn from this research can be helpful to manufacturers' design and manufacture of ergonomic furniture and apparatus.

  • The major causes of environmental and social conflicts were analyzed through the samples of the construction and the management for tidal power plant abroad and inland. Based on the results, the eco-friendly and socially acceptable policy instruments for decreasing the scope and intensity of the conflicts were explored. Regarding environment issues, it was found that the tidal power project resulted in decreasing in tidal range and area of intertidal zone and in damaging to tidal flat and wetland conservation area. Also there are the characteristic change of tidal current and biological effect, etc. The major environmental and social conflicts were resulted from the distrust of environmental results to environmental impact assessment and prior environmental review and the distrust of project feasibility study, and insufficient activities of public participation. In this study, introduction to joint fact-finding(JFF) was reviewed as the measure of minimizing environmental and social conflicts.

Environmental Policy Suggestions for Increasing Efficiency of Soil Contamination Investigation Systems including Soil Contamination Fact-Finding Investigation Sites and Special Soil Contamination Management facility Sites (토양오염실태조사 및 특정토양오염관리대상시설 부지 등에서 토양오염조사의 효율성 제고를 위한 환경정책의 고찰)

  • Attempts were made to increase an efficiency of soil contamination investigation systems(SCISs) including Soil Contamination Fact-Finding Investigation Sites and Special Soil Contamination Management Facility Sites in Korea. In order to increase low efficiencies resulting from inappropriate SCISs, possible policy suggestions are driven based on the results from problem findings of Korean policy and comparisons of policies in industrialized countries including United States, United Kingdom, Germany, the Netherlands and Japan. First, functions of Soil Environment Conservation Act(SECA) on liability should be updated and reinforced to initiate a soil contamination investigation process for stakeholders including an owner(s) or a responsible party(ies) of the potentially soil contamination sites positively. Second, appropriate SCISs should be emerged for implementing the Soil Contamination Fact-Finding Investigation Sites and Special Soil Contamination Management Facility Sites properly. Stakeholders for the potentially contaminated sites should easily access and raise the soil contamination issues, and soil contamination investigation implemented by liable and profit environment (consulting) companies should be encouraged. Third, the soil contamination reporting system of SECA needs to change legally responsible. Further more, public announcement system showing soil quality of a site which exceeds a certain scale would be considerable. Fourth, liable environment (consulting) companies should legally execute Soil Environment Assessment of SECA.

  • A simple proof of the fact that the j-invariants for Weierstrass equations are invariant under birational transformations which keep the forms of Weierstrass equations is given by finding a non-trivial explicit birational transformation which sends a normalized Weierstrass equation to the same equation.

  • Two-Color photoelectric observations were made at Flower and Cook Observatory, University of Pennsylvania. Since the spectroscopic elements are available for the system, derivation of an absolute physical dimension is now expected to be feasible. Results of computation of the orbital elements lead to a fact that the system shows an annular eclipse rather than a partial which is a finding reported by Shapley.

  • The main purpose of this study is to analyze construction of space through the investigation of the cases of school community library through Gangneung-si's life-learning project and the findings from the analysis could be summarized as below. Firstly, most space used for school community library has the size of two classes in school on average and locals use generally space for reference and learning at school community library. Secondly, the construction of space of school community library is categorized into one for book-returning, references, reading, group learning and information, and an audio-visual space is also used for group learning and reading. A space for book-returning has features based on the location of its entrance and a space for reading features stand-up and sitting-on space considering size and usability. And a space for group learning has the feature of space planning that makes it possible for local people to get library programs and seminars and a space for information shows its feature of space planning that uses the wall.

  • Korea has good mutual relations with Russia and China in many fields, not just in science and technology, but also in trade. That is, it stands on a point of time in which an epoch-making turning point for mutual interests could be realized depending on how to join Russia's high technology with Korea's industrial technology with capital, or how to connect Korean -Chinese mutual concern and each other's advanced technology. The purpose of this study is to present scientific and technical information management policy for efficient su n.0, pport for technical cooperation with Russia and China. Bearing this purpose in mind, the concept of technical cooperation along with scientific and technical information management policy was closely examined. The correlation between the progress of technology and the type of scientific and technical information was examined, while the flow of scientific and technical information accompanying technical cooperation was studied. The methodology adopted for this study includes document research, empirical analysis and fact-finding survey. For document research, the writer analyzed the contents of scientific and technical information managing operations and the types of information to be utilized in the course of technical cooperation by examining domestic and foreign documents on international technical cooperation. For empirical analysis, the contents of actual results of scientific and technical information managing operations for technical cooperation with Russia and China were put in order and analyzed, while contents of survey conducted by organizations related to these countries for technical cooperation were synthesized and examined for fact -finding survey.
