In 1962 the governing bodies of FAO and WHO approved the establishment of a joint FAO/WHO Food Standards Programme, the creation of a jointly sponsored body to be known as the Codex Alimentarius commission to implement the Programme. It can reasonably be claimed that the Commission has assumad the leading role in establishing internation food standards throughout the world. The Codex Committee of Food Hygiene has received much advice and assistance from other international organization which have been working in this field for a number of years. In particular, it has received valuable background documentation from the International Commission on Microbiological Specifications for Foods(ICMSF) which was set up by the International Association of Microbiological Societies(IAMS), and also from the International Organization for Standardization (ISO). Nevertheless, in spite of the information supplied by governments and research bodies in this field, microbiological standards have proved to be a highly controversial subject from the point of view of Codex standards. When it is decided to establish a microbiological standard for a food or class of foods, the following technical and administrative aspects must be considered: 1) The standard should be based on factual studies and serve one or more of the following objectives: (1) to determine the conditions of hygiene under which the food should be manufactured; (2) to minimize the hazards to public health; (3) to measure the keeping quality and storage potential of the food 2) The standard should be attainable under practicable operating and commercial conditions and should not entail the use of excessive heat treatment or the additions of extra preservatives. 3) The standard should be determined after investigation of the processing operation. 4) The standard should be as simple and inexpensive to administer as possible, the number of tests being kept to a minimum. 5) Details of methods to be used for sampling, examining and reporting should accompany all published microbiological standards. 6) In establishing tolerance levels for the permissible number of defective samples, allowance should be made for sampling and other variations due to differences in the laboratory methods. The following additional points should be kept in mind: 1) It is not satisfactory to establish one set of microbiological standards for a miscellaneous group of foods, such as“frozen foods”or“precooked foods”. 2) Microbiological standards should be applied first to the more hazardous types of food on the basis of experience of expected microbiological levels, taking into account variations in composition, processing procedures, and storage. 3) When a standard is established, there should be a definite relationship between the standard and the hazard against which it is meant to protect the public. 4) The sensitivity, reliability, and reproducibility of the sampling and analytical methods should be compared in different laboratories and the methods to be used should be specified in detail as part of the standard. 5) Tolerances should be included in the standard to account for inaccuracies of sampling and analysis. 6) Standards should be applied on a voluntary basis before compliance is made mandatory.

Many countries have recently established legal regulations and soil quality standards for soil protection, This study investigated the role of soil quality standards in soil protection policy and methods of selecting standard substances from various types of chemicals. In most countries, soil quality standards act as guidance for further detail surveyor risk assessment from comparing soil concentration with the soil quality standards. Soil quality standards of Switzerland, Demark and Japan were used as enforcement tools. Priority substances for the standards were first selected from frequently detected chemicals in contaminated sites. Those substances were extensively evaluated for toxic effects, exposure potential and availability in chemical analysis.

Due to its diverse advantages, XML has secured its position as a standard for data representation and exchange in the Internet. As a consequence, there has been much research on efficient storing and query processing of in data. Storing XML data in a relational database system warrants much benefit in data management and query processing; the system provides a strong query processing and data management function and can be applicable to XML data, its function being extended. In this paper, we design and implement a query translator that translates XQuery, a representative XML query language, into SQL:2003 query. SQL:2003, the latest SQL standard used as a substitute for SQL:1999, defines SQL/XML that supports XML. The main contribution of this paper is as follows: First, we look into the supporting features of XML, defined in the SQL:2003 standard, and propose a user-defined function for shortcoming sections. Second, we propose a way to translate XQuery into SQL that observes the latest SQL standard. Third, we describe in detail the design and the implementation of the translator to show its feasibility as a translator.

Globalization of business activities and the market is making intern ational movement of capital much freer. Therefore the introduction of global standard is inevitable. Each and every country has had its own standard which restrain free exchange and cause misunderstanding and conflict between countries. A country or a company which is not capable of meeting the global standard can not be accepted in the global market. Consequently, it will eventually be left behind. It is right to say that countries and companies should accept the global standard and abide by it to survive in the competitive global market. The following preface which was introduced in the international conference co_organised by BAC, FTCTC and Tsinghua University in May, 2004 shows a timely movement for the globalization of construction business. *B A C, Beijing Arbitration Commission *FTCTC, The FIDIC-Tsinghua-CNAEC Training Center *CNAEC, China National Association of Engineering Consultants Introduction, As arbitration becomes more and more popular in the ways of alternative disputes resolution all over the world, the BAC is devoted to promoting international arbitration in China. As FIDIC contracts constitute an accepted point of reference for international construction contract, the BAC, characteristic of construction projects, is willing to facilitate the FIDIC contracts as the referred construction contracts in China. In order to carry out its purposes, the BAC, together with FTCTC is going to convene for discussion of dispute resolution and arbitration of international construction projects. FIDIC, construction contract management guide, explains arbitration as the ultimate dispute resolution method. The detail of FIDIC will be suggested in this essay.

Soybean is one of the most important sources of protein and oil in the world. Recently, emphasis has been laid on the chemical composition of soybean seeds for the processing soybean foods. Improvement of soybean components has been expected to improve food-processing quality for the processed soybean products such as soymilk and various edible ingredients as well as fur the traditional soyfoods. In Korea, soybean breeding research programmes have been focused on the quality of the products derived from soybean with yield stability, and some new modified soybean varieties haying good food-processing quality were developed recently. So the efforts of establishing standard and standardization of products in soybean are important. Three main categories should be considered in view of soybean seed quality; the marketing value such as grain size, shape, and appearance; the eating and processing value such as dehulled ratio, water absorption rate, and benny flavor; the nutritional value such as protein, lipid, and carbohydrate contents. And the new frontiers in research are looking at the functional nutrients in soybeans and how to improve them. In case marketing value, mainly the appearance is evaluated, therefore, each country has an application of standard related to quality. Each determination of standard class, heat-damaged kernels, splits, and soybeans of other colors is made on the basis of the grain when free from foreign materials. But processing value and nutritional value for standardization were not studied in detail till now. In addition, soybean has potential roles in the prevention and treatment of chronic diseases, most notably cancer, osteoporosis, and heart disease. The functional nutrients include a protease inhibitor, phytic acid, saponins, and isoflavones, etc.. It is believed that standardization of soybean quality should perform to overcome the difficulties, relatively high price of domestic soybean products has weakened the competitive power, in the market related to WTO. So, we should focus on further research into the evaluation and establishment of quality-standard in soybean.

Evidence of liquefaction during the 2017 Pohang earthquake has highlighted the urgent need to evaluate the current seismic design standard for liquefaction in Korea, particularly the liquefaction triggering standard. With the simplified method, which is the most popular method for evaluating liquefaction triggering, the factor of safety for liquefaction triggering is calculated via the cyclic stress ratio (CSR) and the cyclic resistance ratio (CRR). The parameters in the CSR and CRR have undergone changes over time based on new research findings and lessons learned from liquefaction case-histories. Hence, the current design standard for liquefaction triggering evaluation in Korea should also reflect these changes to achieve seismic safety during future earthquakes. In this study, liquefaction susceptibility criteria were discussed initially and this was followed by a review of the current liquefaction triggering codes/guidelines in other countries and Korea. Next, the parameters associated with the CSR such as the maximum ground acceleration, stress reduction factor, magnitude scaling factor, and overburden correction factor were discussed in detail. Then, the evaluation of the CRR using the SPT N-value and CPT qc-value was elaborated along with overburden and clean-sand correction factors. Based on this review of liquefaction triggering evaluation standards, recommendations are made for improving the current seismic design standard related to liquefaction triggering in Korea.

This study shows the first output of the three-year project (2021-2023) to develop a Smart Water City (SWC) Global Standard and Certification Scheme ley by K-water, International Water Resources Association (IWRA) and Asia Water Council (AWC). There are three major parts in the first year. In Part 1, it investigates the essential features of cities today and details the water challenges currently faced and likely to be confronted in the future. It also investigates the functions that water fulfills in the urban environment, and how ICTs can contribute to improving those functions by each Urban Water Cycle. A definition of a Smart Water City is proposed following a discussion on the meaning of "smart development". This part of the report also presents different city cases from countries around the world to illustrate the urban water challenges and the technological and non-technological solutions that cities have put in place, including national and/or local policies and strategies. In Part 2, it defines what global standards indicators and certification schemes are and identifies their characteristics. Especially, it analyses in detail eight relevant standards and certification schemes measuring sustainable development and/or water resources management in urban settings. Standards elaborated by international organizations are distinguished from those developed by the private sector, non-governmental organizations, and by academia. Finally, this study suggests the right direction to develop SWC global standard frameworks and certification schemes. And then, it shows the main tasks for the Stage 2 (second year) project. Basically, the framework for a future SWC standard (consisting three main pillars: Technical, Governance and Prospective pillars) will be fully defined in Stage 2.

In this paper, we propose a method of analyzing research papers published by researchers belonging to university departments in the field of disaster & safety for the scientometric analysis of the research status in the field of disaster safety. In order to conduct analysis research, the dataset constructed in previous studies was newly improved and utilized. In detail, for research papers of authors belonging to the disaster prevention and safety engineering type department of domestic universities, institution identification, cited journal identification of references, department type classification, disaster safety type classification, researcher major information, KSIC(Korean Standard Industrial Classification) mapping information was reflected in the experimental data. The proposed method has a difference from previous studies in the field of disaster & safety and data set based on related keyword searches. As a result of the analysis, the type and regional distribution of organizations belonging to the department of disaster prevention and safety engineering, the composition of co-authored department types, the researchers' majors, the status of disaster safety types and standard industry classification, the status of citations in academic journals, and major keywords were identified in detail. In addition, various co-occurrence networks were created and visualized for each analysis unit to identify key connections. The research results will be used to identify and recommend major organizations and information by disaster type for the establishment of an intelligent crisis warning system. In order to provide comprehensive and constant analysis information in the future, it is necessary to expand the analysis scope and automate the identification and classification process for data set construction.

This kind of case study suggests a way for future's accounting standards under the complicated situation of K-IFRS. A change of accounting standards causes a severely different performance between K-IFRS and K-GAAP. Further, the change affects the whole business of the financial companies. As the K-IFRS is not a rule based accounting standard but a principle based accounting standard, companies have to keep their internal system in detail. Likewise, companies can get their competitiveness in the field.
