  • 2020년 국내 항공운송업계는 COVID 19 감염증 확산으로 대규모의 영업 손실이 발생하고 있다. 2019년의 한일관계 악화로 인해 항공수요가 대폭 감소한 데 이어, 유례없는 COVID 19의 발발로 항공운송업계는 그야말로 고사 직전의 상황에 이를 정도이다. 일부 항공사는 정상적인 금융시장에서의 자금조달이 불가능한 수준에 빠졌다는 이야기도 전해지며, 몇몇의 저가항공사들은 기업생존이 참담한 수준을 넘어 파산 수순을 밟고 있다는 보도도 나오고 있다. 항공운송업계로서는 현 상황이 역사상 최악의 시기라고 해도 과언이 아닐 정도이다. 본 논문에서는 EU 위원회에서 지난 3월 발표된 'COVID-19에 따른 여객의 권리보호를 위한 해석 가이드라인'을 검토해 보았다. 본 가이드라인은 ① 항공여객(air passenger), ② 철도여객(rail passenger), ③ 버스여객(bus passenger), ④ 해상 및 내수로 여객(maritime and inland waterway passenger)에 관한 각 분야의 EU 규칙상 COVID-19의 여파와 관련한 여객의 권리보호 해석방향과 기준을 제시한 일종의 해석지침이라 할 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 이와 같은 EU 위원회의 해석지침 중 항공여객보상에 관한 EC 261/2004 규칙상 COVID-19 관련 EU 해석지침을 크게 ① 정보공지, ② 항공여객의 환불·재항로 설정권, ③ 항공여객의 서비스 보장권, ④ 항공여객의 보상청구권 으로 내용을 구분하여, 지침의 주요 골자를 소개하고 관련 논점들을 검토해 보았다. 나아가 우리나라 항공여객운송업계의 COVID-19 관련 대응현황을 개괄하고, COVID-19 관련 EU 해석지침이 제시하는 몇 가지 시사점들을 생각해보았다.

  • 선박을 포함한 지상, 해상, 공중의 이동체는 일반적으로 사람에 의해서 운용되고 있는데, 최근 제4차 산업혁명에 따른 자율의사결정시스템과 인공지능의 획기적 발전을 기반으로 자율 이동 개념의 무인이동체에 대한 연구개발이 전 세계적으로 활발하게 진행되고 있다. 국제해상운송에서 자율운항선박(MASS)의 상용화 실현을 앞두고 이 선박에 대한 성격 규정과 국제법적 지위에 대한 규명이 시급해졌다. 자율운항선박은 발전단계에 따라 승선원이 점차 감축되어 결국에는 완전히 무인화된 선박으로 운용될 것인데, 이 연구를 통하여 승선원이 없는 선박도 국제법상 선박으로써의 지위를 인정받을 수 있는가에 대한 쟁점 사항을 분석하였다. 이를 위하여 유엔해양법협약(UNCLOS) 및 국제해사기구(IMO)의 제반 법규를 중심으로 자율운항선박은 일반선박과 동일한 국제법적 지위를 가지고 있음을 규명하고, 자율운항선박을 운용하는데 필요한 제반 국제협약의 제·개정작업에 관한 제도개선 방향과 국제법적 조치사항을 제시하였다.

  • Purpose: The performance of global major airports is evaluated and several research questions are examined relative to the measures characterizing airport performance. Methods: The two-stage internal structure of airport performance is considered by decomposing it into physical operations and revenue generation. In the physical operations stage, operating costs, number of runways, terminal area and number of employees are used as inputs, while passenger throughput, cargo throughput and aircraft movements are taken as outputs. Subsequently, in the revenue generation stage, the outputs from the preceding stage are taken as inputs, while revenue is used as output. Results: Based upon this two-stage modeling of airport performance, a multiplicative two-stage network data envelopment analysis model is employed to calculate the overall and stage efficiencies of 59 airports using the recent data in the 2014 Airport Benchmarking Report published by the Air Transport Research Society. Several internal and external factors are also considered such as airport size, airport geographical location, proportion of international passengers, ownership (listed or not) and management style, and statistical analysis is performed to examine their impacts on airport performance. Conclusion: It is shown that the airports exhibit statistically significant difference across regions, and also some statistically significant factors affecting airport performance are identified.

  • The purpose of this study is to measure the productivity of fisheries in China's coastal areas (including inland and marine fisheries) and to analyze the factors influencing the development of fishery economy in each province by comparing regional differences. The input indicators used for efficiency analysis are fish farms, ships and staff numbers, and the output indicators are fish catch and net income. In this paper, we used six years of data from 2013-2018 and DEA-Malmquist index was used to analyze the efficiency of coastal fisheries production in 11 areas of China's coast. According to the analysis from 2013 to 2018, the fishery output efficiency in China's coastal areas has improved to some extent, but most provinces and regions are characterized by technological progress, and the technological efficiency still needs to be further improved. The conclusion can provide reference for the development planning and policy measures of regional fishery industry in China's coastal areas.

  • This study investigates the characteristics of metallic and ionic elements concentration, concentration according to transport path, and factor analysis in $PM_{10}$ at Guducsan in Busan in the springtime of 2015. $PM_{10}$ concentration in Guducsan and Gwaebeopdong were $59.5{\pm}9.04{\mu}g/m^3$ and $87.5{\pm}20.2{\mu}g/m^3$, respectively. Contribution rate of water-soluble ions and secondary ion in $PM_{10}$ concentration in Guducsan were 37.0% and 27.8% respectively. [$NO_3{^-}/SO{_4}^{2-}$] ratio and contribution rate of sea salt of $PM_{10}$ in Guducsan and Gwaebeopdong were 0.91 and 1.12, 7.0% and 5.3%, respectively. The results of the backward trajectory analysis indicates that $PM_{10}$ concentration, total inorganic water-soluble ions and total secondary ions were high when the air parcels moved from Sandong region in China than non-Sandong and northen China to Busan area. The results of the factor analysis at Guducsan indicates that factor 1 was anthropogenic source effects such as automobile emissions and industrial combustion processes, factor 2 was marine sources such as sea salts from sea, and factor 3 was soil component sources.

  • The commercial pilot retirement age has continued to 65 since the International Civil Aviation Organization(ICAO) amended the recommended age limit from 60. The target of this review is to analyse whether aged pilots have an increased age-dependent risk of medical incapacitation. Medical in-flight incapacitation is actually very rare event and the demonstrated annual incapacitation rate provides an acceptable risk within the criteria known as 1% safety rule for a pilot undertaking air transport operations while some controversies exist. There is a possibility that the accident rate has decreased due to the improved skill by increasing pilot's age. At the decision of flight or not for elderly airline pilot the interacting factors of personal health status, piloting experience and new flight environments should be considered to define job limit criteria than mere the age. Results of a survey led by airline pilot association in Korea shows 65% of airline pilots are willing to fly without any age limit and 87% agreed that age limit is worthy to extend beyond current standard on the basis of medical examinations. Only 11% agreed to maintain current age limit.

  • The traditional regulatory approach to managing pilots fatigue has been to prescribe limits on maximum daily, monthly, and yearly flight and duty hours, and require minimum breaks within and between duty periods. This approach comes from a long history of limits on working hours dating back to the industrial revolution. So, the Council of ICAO recently adopted International Commercial Air Transport regarding the development and implementation of fatigue risk management systems(FRMS). The FRMS can provide better safety outcomes than current prescriptive flight and duty regulations while allowing greater operational flexibility. This study aim to analyzing relative importance of pilots' fatigue factors in order to minimize pilots' fatigue-related safety risks. More researches regarding monitoring and managing fatigue, based upon scientific principles, are required in the future.

  • The global environment is deteriorating at an alarming rate despite of enhanced international environmental regulation. Many studies have been performed to reduce pollutants. Recently, phytoremediation, plant-based technology for the removal of toxic contaminants from soil, water, and air, has been receiving large attention. Arsenic-contaminated soil is one of the major pollutant sources fur drinking water. The fern brake (Pteris erotica) has been reported as a hyper-accumulate arsenic from soils. In this study, we investigated the arsenic absorption effect on sap flow inside xylem vessels of a fern brake. The synchrotron X-ray micro-imaging technique was employed to monitor flow inside the plant non-invasively. The captured phase-contrast X-ray images show both anatomy and transport of water inside the fern brake. The refilling process of water containing arsenic inside the xylem vessels of fern brake's leaves and stems was clearly observed. These results would provide important information needed fur understanding the mechanisms of accumulation, translocation, and transformation of toxic materials in plants.

  • A reliable and well-characterized dosimetry system which is traceable to the international measurement system, is the key element to quality assurance in radiation processing with cobalt-60 gamma rays, X-rays, and electron beam. This is specifically the case for health-regulated processes, such as the radiation sterilization of single use medical devices and food irradiation for preservation and disinfestation. Polyethylene is considered to possess a lot of interesting dosimetric characteristics. In this work, a detailed study has been performed to determine the dosimetric characteristics of a commercialized high-density polyethylene (HDPE) film using Fourier transformed infrared spectrometry (FTIR). Correlations have been established between the absorbed dose and radiation induced infrared absorption in polyethylene having a maximum at 965 cm-1 (transvinylene band) and 1716 cm-1 (ketone-carbonyl band). We have found that polyethylene dose-response is linear with dose for both bands up to1000 kGy. For transvinylene band, the dose-response is more sensitive if irradiations are made in helium. While, for ketone-carbonyl band, the dose-response is more sensitive when irradiations are carried out in air. The dose-rate effect has been found to be negligible when polyethylene samples are irradiated with electron beam high dose rates. The irradiated polyethylene is relatively stable for several weeks after irradiation.
