Arbitration has grown a unique resolving method for international commercial disputes. However, it has considered a similar court process, such as interim relief, during arbitration proceedings. Further, it would be asked for urgent measures before the arbitrators are constituted in the proceedings. In this case, the disputing party has to apply in the court. This is an unattractive factor in international arbitration; therefore, some institutions are trying to reform such an inconvenient system by adopting the emergency arbitrator. The purpose of this study is to look into ways of utilizing the emergency arbitrator for effective dispute resolution in shipbuilding and shipping industries. The emergency arbitrator needs to solve problems such as making a decision on leaving cargos in the ship, matters involving a ship arrest, or issues regarding vessels under construction. In order to utilize the emergency arbitrator system, it needs to make a close partnership with related institutions, prepare Korean-style standard shipbuilding and shipping contracts, and provide training programs for new emergency arbitrators and staff of institutions. Next, the arbitration institution has to have a great working relationship with a court. Finally, it should try to implement a new system, such as on-line service, for the procedures of the emergency arbitrator.

This paper examines the characteristics of 23 libraries affiliated with educational institutions of the Korean miltary. Materials and data used in this analysis were obtained from a variety of statute books, Korean Library Association publications, past works in military-related research, questionnaires and interviews with library staff. For each military educational institutions, the background to its foundation and Its current operations are briefly reviewed. Library characteristics subjected to analysis pertain to the following 8 areas： location and architecture, stack arrangement, furniture and furnishings, personnel, service elements, budget, book stock, and extent of computerization. The affiliated library (consisting of reading rooms and/or stack rooms) is then classified as belonging to one of the following three levels: graduate-school level (total of 4 libraries), university level (5 libraries), and technical-school level (14 libraries). When necessary. particular libraries are examined in detail. This research reveals that while most graduate-school and university level libraries are being operated on a relatively sound basis, there are significant disparities among university level libraries. As for technical-school level libraries, the lack of professional staff and service elements for users is seriously impairing their operations. In order to address these problems and support military education and research in the age of segyehwa and information, it is suggested that the Korean military formulate comprehensive measures to modernize library facilities and improve their operations.

Background: The purpose of this study is to analyze the current status and factors of elderly patients' hospitalization for hip replacement, knee replacement, and general spine surgery. Methods: National health insurance data in 2018 was provided by the National Health Insurance Service. We used multiple regression to analyze factors associated with the medical utilization of hip replacement, knee replacement, and general spine surgery in elderly patients over 65 years old. The dependent variables are the length of stay and total health expenditure. The independent variables are the demographic-social factors (sex, age, region, insurance type, income level) and surgery-related factors (institution type, location of the hospital, surgery classification). Results: The most common factor affecting surgery was the location of medical institutions. Compared with the medical institutions located in metropolitan, the length of stay in rural medical institutions was higher and total health expenditure was lower. The lower quartile of income, the higher the length of stay and total health expenditure. In addition, the variables of age, type of health insurance, and type of medical institution were statistically significant. Conclusion: In this study, we confirmed the effect of sociodemographic factors and medical institution factors on the Healthcare Utilization of spinal and joint surgery.

Purpose: This study aims to reveal violence victimization of visiting nurses and investigate the coping and prevention strategies adopted by public institutions. Method: The data were collected over three weeks in 2017 using self-report questionnaires from 237 visiting nurses. Data were collected between August 23 and September 15, 2017. Result: Among the respondents, 74.7% had experienced some types of work-related violence during the past year. Verbal abuse (65.4%) was most common, followed by physical threat (46.8%), sexual abuse (43.9%), and physical violence (5.5%). The nurses perceived the most common cause of violation as socio-economic frustration of the offenders vented out on the nurses. Besides, most reported offenders had mental health problems. The two most effective measures to prevent violence faced by the nurses are terminating visiting services for the offenders and implementing the buddy system, which has rarely been used in practice. Conclusion: These findings show that visiting nurses are exposed to a risk of serious abuse in everyday work life, and the nurses themselves or institutions have failed to handle the violence, showing shaky responses at best. Therefore, it is necessary to establish internal regulations and systems at the institutional level that can help prevent violence against visiting nurses.

Offshore plants is an intensive industry where real value is able to be created when EPCIC(Engineering, Procurement, Construction, Installation, Commissioning) is combined. Many universities and educational institutions have established major fields and graduate schools related in offshore construction and engineering as well as safety training and occupational courses. Most of the personnel who have graduated and passed those educational institutions have been working in domestic shipbuilding companies and marine equipment manufacturers. Therefore, customized education and training should be developed according to the educational demands required and then skilled personnel are needed to be supplied at proper times. This study, therefore, has found personnel demands inside and outside the country and occupational sections of offshore plants. Consequently, this study suggests making up a council comprised of shipbuilding companies, marine equipment manufacturers and educational institutions with government organization, and also researches the necessity of getting a job of personnel trained by the customized education. These results are expected to contribute to the development of education curriculum of domestic offshore plant as well as ODC(Offshore Development Center).

The purpose of this study is to investigate the determinants of caregiver's conflict experience in elderly care institutions. This study focused on the three key independent variable groups(e.g., socio-demographic, job-related, and individual personality). The sample used in this study are 311 caregivers who are randomly selected from 21 elderly care institutions in Korea. Data were collected with a structured questionnaire by mail from Oct. 15 to Nov. 30 in 2007. The collected data were analyzed using logistic regression. The major findings of the study are as follows: 1) Nearly 40% percent of the respondents reported that they had experienced conflicts with elderly patients. The conflict with other caregivers ranked as second(20.6%), followed by patients' families(18.6%) and hospital employees(15.1%). 2) The personality, especially uniqueness caused conflict with patients or other caregivers. The professional identity reduced conflict with patients. The negative work experiences caused conflict with patients or family. The service attitude reduced conflict with family. The service-centered culture reduced conflict with hospital employees. Those who lived with the elderly showed lower level of conflict with family or hospital employees.
