  • 미국 환경법에 규정된 Imminent & Substantial Endangerment(ISE) 조항에 대한 정의, 결정 및 적용사례를 분석하였다. ISE는 행정권자가 현재의 환경오염상황이 인체에 급박하고 실질적인 위해를 가할 수 있는 오염으로 판단할 경우 오염책임자에게 대책을 강구하게 하는 환경오염 상황 및 환경법상의 조항으로 정의된다. 이때의 행정권자의 대책 요구는 권고, 행정명령, 민사소송, 형사소송 등 다양하게 이루어지며 모든 행정 집행 과정에 ISE가 언급된다. ISE의 판단을 위해서는 1) a possible ISE 2) because of actual or threatened release 3) of a hazardous substance 4) from a facility, 네 가지 요소에 대한 명확한 증거가 있어야 한다. 그러나 네 가지 요소에 대한 정의는 매우 광범위하며 유연성을 가지고 있어, ISE 판단은 행정권자의 충분한 자료 확보와 주관적인 판단에 따르는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 ISE 판단은 판단 주체에 따라 차이를 보이지만 공통적인 사항은 매우 상세한 현장조사 결과 및 과학적인 정황에 기인하고 있다. 미국내 ISE 행정명령에 대한 기본 문서 형태 및 내용은 규정되어 있지만 ISE 판단에 대한 구체적인 정량적 기준 및 방법은 정의되어 있지 않았다.

  • Background: Exposure to air pollution (gaseous pollutants and/or particulate matter) has been associated with the incidence, prevalence, and mortality of type 1 diabetes (T1D). Purpose: To examine the quantitative relationship between air pollutant emissions and the incidence of T1D. Methods: We examined the association between the incidence of T1D and type 2 diabetes (T2D) in 2017 as well as that of T1D in patients younger than 15 years in 2016 with "emissions of air-polluting substances from stationary and mobile sources by regions of the Russian Federation in 2016" as reported by the Federal Diabetes Register of Russia downloaded from the Russian government website (http://www.mnr.gov.ru/docs/gosudarstvennye_doklady/o_sostoyanii_i_ob_okhrane_okruzhayushchey_sredy_rossiyskoy_federatsii/). Results: The incidence of T1D across all ages in each region of the Russian Federation correlated with the total air pollutants emitted in the region each year (r=0.278, P=0.013). The incidence of T2D was also correlated with the amount of air pollutants (r=0.234, P=0.037) and the incidence of T1D (r=0.600, P<0.001) in each country. Similarly, the incidence of T1D in patients younger than 15 years correlated with the total air pollutants emitted each year in each region (r=0.300, P=0.011). Conclusion: The quantitative relationship between the total air pollutants emitted and the incidence of T1D and T2D in the Russian Federation suggests that air pollution contributes to the development of T1D and T2D.

  • In this paper I tried to get an overall view of the training course of German archivists, based on the curriculum of Marburger Archivschule. In Germany the short-term training courses are offered by some archives and also graduate-level course is offered by a college in Potzdam. Marburger Schule is, however, said to be a representative institute for training of archivists in Germany because the institute has a long history and its graduates have been playing a leading role in the archival science and archival administration of Germany. By examining the curriculum of the Marburger Schule, I tried to analyze the important elements which have decided the shaping of curriculum historically. I also examined the general prerequisite to be an archivist in Germany, including qualification-examination in order to see how the high standards of German archivists can be maintained. There are three kinds of training courses in Marburger Schule: course for academic archivists, course for administrative archivists, short-term course for complementary training. The former two main courses are runned in association with each state archives(staatliche Archive, Landesarchive) in the Federal Republic of Germany along the line of public regulation. These courses consist of theoretical and practical education. Marburger Schule is charged with the theoretical education, while each local government(Landesregiergung) runs the training system according to its own rules with autonomy. The education of archivists must be structured to fill the expected role in a society to which archivists belong. The image of archivist changes in the course of times and makes a greate many differences according to the conditions and tradition of a country. The whole system of formal education is also related with the style of managing of Archives in each country. Therefore an example of a country can not be taken so easily as a model. The education system of archivists must be interpreted in the relation with the historical condition of a country and its administrative system of archives.

  • Introduction: Training standards for long-haul truck drivers (LHTD) are rapidly evolving in Canada, yet the opinions of the drivers themselves have not been adequately considered. The purpose was to survey LHTD on their work training history and to examine LHTD perceptions of driver training and licensing protocols. Methods: LHTD were recruited across two Western Canadian provinces from seven different truck stops. The sample completed 207 surveys and 67 semi-structured interviews. Results: The average age of the participants was 52.5 ± 11.5 years (range 24-79); 96% were men. Approximately 33% of the LHTD had at least one crash. Those who did not receive formal driver training were significantly more likely to crash than those who had received training. Participants stated that current training standards are inadequate for the industry, particularly for new drivers. According to participants, entry-level curriculums should consist of both classroom and practical training, as well as on-road observation with a senior mentor. LHTD reported that many new drivers are not equipped to drive in various contexts and settings (e.g., mountains, slippery roads). Conclusions: LHTD are not confident in the current training guidelines for novice truck drivers. Revisions to the training curriculum and standardization across Canada should be considered. Practical Application: A federal mandatory entry-level training program is needed in Canada to ensure that all new LHTD ascertain the necessary skills to drive safely. Such a program requires government involvement and input from LHTD to facilitate appropriate licensure and consistent training for all drivers.

  • 현재 독일은 '케어비상사태(Pflegenotstand)'라는 말이 등장했을 정도로 '요양서비스 질과 인력부족(Qualit't der Pflegeversicherung und Mangel an Pflegekr?fte)'의 위기에 직면해 있다. 독일 정부는 이 문제를 해결하고자 체계적이고 수준 높은 교육을 통해 전문지식을 갖춘 노인요양사를 양성하는 것을 목표로 정하였으며, 노인요양사라는 직업의 사회적 이미지와 위상을 높임으로써 직업에 대한 선호도를 높이는 것과 특히 젊은 세대를 노인요양인력 유치 주요대상자로 선정하고, 이들을 대상으로 노인요양직업에 대한 긍정적인 이미지를 심어 주고, 관심을 가질 수 있도록 하는 데 필요한 대책을 마련하는 것에 중점을 두고 있다. 본 논문의 주요관점은 독일 고령화 사회에서 노인요양사의 전문성을 고려한 교육체계에 초점이 맞춰있으며, 독일의 노인요양인력 양성 교육내용과 시스템과 더불어 교육내용에 내포되어 있는 노인요양인력의 역할 및 업무와 사회적 위치가 어떠한지를 알아보며, 독일의 노인요양사 인프라 구축 대안으로는 어떤 것들이 있는지를 소개한다.

  • This study examined the constitutional engineering of the Philippine democracy in terms of power sharing and accountability, and the effectiveness and stability of the Philippine democracy as a result were assessed. Based on the analysis, the nature of the present Philippine democratic system since 1986 was brought to light. This study argues that the system of power sharing between the President and the congress in the Philippines tends to serve for negotiating political interests among the power elites rather than functioning in a constructive way. And the public accountability system is not functioning as it was designed to do. Due to the defects the Philippine democracy continuously suffers the lack of political effectiveness and stability. Despite of the problem, the reason not to break down the system would be the fact that the system served for the oligarchic power elites to circulate and recreate the political power exclusively. The direction of the Philippine constitutional engineering should be weakening the present traditional elite dominated political system, and strengthening the chances of political participation from the various classes. Some concerned people suggested the constitutional change to parliamentary system in order to strengthening party politics, and federal system to cope with the problems of regional conflicts, but such efforts failed repeatedly due to the conflict of political interests. Considering the present circumstance, it would be advisable to reform political party law and election system in the direction of strengthening political party system, and to expand the scope of local government system in the direction of devolving the centralized political power.

  • This research paper delved into the availability and utilization of library portal services for research in university libraries in Nigeria. Two research questions and two null hypotheses were formulated to guide the study. A structured questionnaire was used for data collection. The study was carried out in Nnamdi Azikiwe Library, University of Nigeria Nsukka (UNN) and Felix Aghagbo Nwako Library, Nnamdi Azikiwe University Library (UNIZIK), Awka. A total of 70 professionals (librarians and system analysts) in these libraries supplied data for the study. Data collected was analyzed using mean and standard deviation. These were used to answer the research questions while the null hypotheses were tested using t-test statistic at 0.05 level of significance and 68 degree of freedom. Major findings showed that portal services available in the library showed that the areas of availability of library portal services in Nnamdi Azikiwe Library, U.N.N. includes Agriculture, Health Sciences, Engineering, Environmental Sciences and information about institution, Social Sciences, Arts and Humanities, Natural Sciences. In Festus Aghagbo Nwako Library, Awka, the areas of Portal Library Services include Career Development, Federal Government Programs, Environmental Sciences, Biological Sciences, Social Sciences, Arts and Humanities, Engineering, and Health Sciences. Findings on extent of utilization of portal services available in the libraries indicated that portal services are utilized to a low extent in the university libraries. Furthermore, librarians did not significantly differ in their opinions on the availability of library portal services and on the extent of utilization of library portal services in the libraries under study. It is therefore recommended that provisions should be made by the universities and library management to provide and update required portal services in addition to creating enabling environment for enhanced access and utilization of these services. The governments must make an effort to provide funds for policy implementation, necessary technology training for librarians and users, and develop general information infrastructure.

  • Purpose - Since COVID-19, the government's expansion of liquidity to stimulate the economy has resulted in an increase in private debt and an increase in asset prices of such as real estate and stocks. The recent sharp rise of the US Federal fund rate and tapering by the Fed have led to a fast rise in domestic interest rates, putting a heavy burden on the Korean economy, where the level of household debt is very high. Excessive household debt might have negative effects on the economy, such as shrinking consumption, economic recession, and deepening economic inequality. Therefore, now more than ever, it is necessary to identify the causes of the increase in household debt. Design/methodology/approach - Main methodology is regression analysis. Dependent variable is household loans from depository institutions. Independent variables are consumer price index, unemployment rate, household loan interest rate, housing sales price index, and composite stock price index. The sample periods are from 2017 to May 2022, comprising 72 months of data. The comparative analysis period before and after COVID-19 is from January 2017 to December 2019 for the pre-COVID-19 period, and from Jan 2020 to December 2022 for the post-COVID-19 period. Findings - Looking at the results of the regression analysis for the entire period, it was found that increases in the consumer price index, unemployment rate, and household loan interest rates decrease household loans, while increases in the housing sales price index increase household loans. Research implications or Originality - Household loans of depository institutions are mainly made up of high-credit and high-income borrowers with good repayment ability, so the risk of the financial system is low. As household loans are closely linked to the real estate market, the risk of household loan defaults may increase if real estate prices fall sharply.

  • 오늘날 전 세계적으로 건축물들이 대형화 초고층화 됨에 따라 건물내부 화재나 건물외부에서 가해지는 위협과 관련하여 재실자의 피난가능성이나 안전성을 확보할 필요성이 커지고 있다. 국가의 사회경제적 상징인 초고층건축물을 대상으로 폭발물 테러가 발생할 경우 막대한 인명피해와 경제적 손실, 사회적 공포감 그리고 국가위상 실추 등의 피해가 다른 유형의 건축물에 비해 심각하기 때문에 초고층건축물은 주요 테러집단의 공격대상이 되고 있다. 현재 국내의 초고층건축물은 전국 15개 지역에서 54개동이 있으며, 초고층건축물을 테러공격으로부터 예방하기 위해 국토교통부와 서울특별시에서는 테러예방을 위한 초고층건축물 가이드라인을 제정 시행하고 있다. 미국의 연방재난관리청(FEMA)은 9/11 테러공격 이후 위험관리 매뉴얼을 개발하여 활용하고 있다. FEMA 455에서는 테러예방을 위한 초고층건축물 테러위험도 평가방법을 제시하고 있는바, 특히 주변지역의 위험도와 테러공격 가능성, 그리고 테러공격에 대한 취약성 등을 진단하여 사전 평가를 하고 있다. 초고층 건축물에 대한 테러위험도 평가를 거친 다음, 테러공격의 위험도를 기준으로 건축가, 보안전문가, 구조공학자, 범죄예방가등 전문가들이 초고층건축물 테러예방 활동을 하게 된다. 영국 국가대테러안보실(NaCTSO)에서도 지역의 특수성을 반영한 테러예방지침을 제정 활용하고 있다. 국토교통부와 서울특별시에서 제정 시행하고 있는 초고층건축물 테러예방 가이드라인도 미국 연방재난관리청의 매뉴얼이나 영국 국가대테러안보실의 지침과 같이 테러 위험성 평가 기법을 포함한 구체적인 가이드라인으로 보완될 필요가 있다.
