본 논문에서는 '유튜브' 등을 비롯한 온라인동영상 플랫폼 활용이 일반화되고 고화질·고용량 시청각 기록의 생산·수집량이 급증하는 상황에서도 공공·민간 부문 모두에서 시청각 기록의 '관리'와 '활용'은 여전히 전문화되고 있지 않은 상황에 주목하였다. 공공기관이나 방송사, 일반 기업이나 단체 등 시청각 기록을 생산하는 주체들이 기본적으로 참고할만한 '시청각 기록관리 매뉴얼' 등이 부재할 뿐만 아니라 현행 『공공기록물법』 및 동법 시행령·시행규칙, 공공표준, 지침 및 매뉴얼 등 공공기록관리에서조차 시청각 기록관리의 원칙을 제시하지 못한 가운데 중앙기록물관리기관인 '국가기록원'의 역할이 매우 중요한 점을 강조하고자 했다. 이를 위해 본 논문에서는 현행 『공공기록물법』의 시청각 기록 관련 조항을 분석하고 제·개정 필요성을 살펴보았다. 또한, 현재 국가기록원의 시청각 기록 표준화 현황을 검토하고 공공기록관리 부문에서 효율적인 시청각 기록관리를 위해 제도적으로 마련한 제도와 지침을 분석하여, 기록관리 현장에서 해당 제도 및 지침들이 시청각 기록을 관리하는 데 어떤 기능을 하고 있는지 알아보고자 하였다. 이를 통해 현행 국내 법·제도 개선의 필요성, 관련 공공표준 및 지침 내용 개정 방향 등을 제시하였으며, '국가기록원' 등의 시청각 기록관리 정책 기능을 활성화하는 방안과 시청각 기록관리 및 관련 정책을 담당한 전문기구인 '공공영상'아카이브 신설 필요성 또한 검토하였다. '공공영상'아카이브는 영상납본제 등을 통한 체계적이고 망라적으로 '공공영상'을 수집하고 이를 사회적 기억으로서 공적 활용될 수 있도록 관리·활용 체계를 운영한다. 이 과정에서 '공공영상' 보호(Safeguarding)와 관련한 기술 표준화, 저작권 및 초상권 권리보호 등 시청각 기록관리와 관련한 전문적 역할을 수행한다.

황해는 유엔해양법협약 제123조에서 다루는 반폐쇄해로 한국-중국-북한이 주요 연안국이다. 황해는 UN이 지정하는 66개의 광역해양생태계 중 하나로 자원적 가치가 큰 해역이다. 동 협약 제194조에 따라 자원의 사용 및 수익에 관한 연안국의 권리행사는 국가들 간 직접적 또는 지역기구를 통한 간접적 형식의 협력을 통하여 해양환경보호 및 보전에 관한 권리의무를 이행하는 범위 내에서 이뤄져야 한다. 따라서 월경성 환경오염원의 방지대책에 대한 연안국 사이의 법적 공백은 시의성 있게 다뤄져야 할 사안이다. 이와 관련하여 황해광역해양생태계(YSLME)는 유엔개발계획(UNDP)의 프로젝트로 2기 사업까지 진행되어왔다. 이 과정에서 황해연안생태계에 대한 한·중 공동과학조사를 통한 월경성진단분석(TDA) 그리고 TDA를 바탕으로 한 전략활동계획(SAP) 수립이라는 성과도 있었지만 북한의 참여가 보장되지 못하였고 SAP의 이행에 관한 실효성 있는 관리체제의 부재라는 한계가 있었다. 이에 본 논문에서는 제3기 YSLME 프로젝트가 나아가야 할 방향으로 연안국 간 구속력 있는 조약체결 방안에 관한 연구를 목적으로 한다. 본 연구는 기존 와덴해 삼국 지역협정 성공요소 분석을 통해 한·중·북 지역협력체의 설립과 운영에 관한 단계적 조약화 방안의 타당성을 검증하였다. 단계적 방안을 살펴보면 선행적으로 삼국 공동선언을 통한 '황해삼국협력 위원회의 설립', '황해삼국협력관리 협정(trilateral treaty) 체결', 골격조약(umbrella convention)을 모(母)조약으로 하는 '이행협정(Implementing Arrangement) 체결'의 3단계로 구분하여 볼수 있다. 단계적 입법을 통해 민감한 정치적 변수가 발생하여도 북한의 안정적 참여 유도와 사회 전계층의 자발적 참여를 통해 황해해양오염 방지 및 대응에 관한 조약의 지속성 및 일관성을 담보할 수 있을 것이라 기대된다.

최저임금 인상 관련 논의가 고용인원 수와 같이 양적 측면에 국한되면서 부정적 효과가 주로 부각되어 왔지만, 최저임금 인상은 기업 또는 산업 특성에 따라 생산성 제고, 저생산성 한계기업 퇴출 등 질적 측면에서 긍정적 효과를 가져올 수도 있다. 본 연구는 이러한 관점에서 최저임금 인상이 기업의 생산성에 미친 영향을 실증적으로 분석하였다. 실증분석을 위해 제조업 부문의 사업체 단위 패널데이터를 이용하여 제조업 내 업종별·고용규모별 최저임금 영향률을 추정하고 이를 기업의 생산성과 연계함으로써 최저임금 변화가 생산성에 미치는 영향을 살펴보았다. 특히 생산함수 추정에서 기존 연구의 문제점인 요소투입의 내생성을 보정함으로써 자본계수 과소추정 및 노동계수 과대추정의 문제를 보완하였다. 분석 결과, 최저임금 인상이 임금, 고용, 생산성에 미치는 영향은 업종별·고용규모별로 다르게 나타났다. 특히, 최저임금 인상은 제조업 전반의 생산성 제고에 긍정적인 것으로 추정되었지만 생산성 변화의 방향과 폭은 업종별로 상이했다. 최저임금 인상이 고용규모별 생산성에 미친 영향을 보면 전반적으로 고용규모가 작을수록 생산성에 부정적이지만 업종에 따라서는 긍정적인 효과가 있는 것으로 분석되었다. 또한 최저임금 인상으로 유발된 임금 상승은 제조업 내 모든 업종에 걸쳐 생산성을 증가시키는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구의 정책적 시사점은 다음과 같다. 최저임금 인상으로 상당수 업종에서 생산성이 개선되는 것으로 추정된 만큼, 이를 최저 임금 상승이 초래하는 노동비용 증가 및 고용 감소 효과와 함께 종합적으로 평가하는 게 바람직하다. 아울러 동일한 최저임금 적용에도 불구하고 최저임금영향률의 차이로 인해 최저임금이 고용, 임금, 생산성에 미치는 영향은 업종·규모에 따라 상이할 수 있음에 유념할 필요가 있다.

Purpose : The purpose of emergency medical services(EMS) is to save human lives and assure the completeness of the body in emergency situations. Those who have been qualified on medical practice to perform such treatment as there is the risk of human life and possibility of major physical and mental injuries that could result from the urgency of time and invasiveness inflicted upon the body. In the emergency medical activities, 119 emergency medical technicians mainly perform the task but they are not able to perform such task independently and they are mandatory to receive medical direction. The purpose of this study is to examine the recognition and request for medical direction by 119 emergency medical technicians in order to provide basic information on the development of medical direction program suitable to the characteristics of EMS as well as for the studies on EMS for the sake of efficient operation of pre-hospital EMS. Method : Questionnaire via e-mail was conducted during July 1-31, 2010 for 675 participants who are emergency medical technicians, nurses and other emergency crews in Gyeongbuk. The effective 171 responses were used for the final analysis. In regards to the emergency medical technicians' scope of responsibilities defined in Attached Form 14, Enforcement regulations of EMS, t-test analysis was conducted by using the means and standard deviation of the level of request for medical direction on the scope of responsibilities of Level 1 & Level 2 emergency medical technicians as the scale of medical direction request. The general characteristics, experience result, the reason for necessity, emergency medical technicians & medical director request level, medical direction method, the place of work of the medical director, feedback content and improvement plan request level were analyzed through frequency and percentage. The level of experience in medical direction and necessity were analyzed through ${\chi}^2$ test. Results : In regards to the medical direction experience per qualification, the experience was the highest with 53.3% for Level 1 emergency medical technicians and 80.3% responded that experience was helpful. As for the recognition on the necessity of medical direction, 71.3% responded as "necessary" and it turned out to be the highest of 76.9% in nurses. As for the reason for responding "necessary", the reason for reducing the risk and side-effects from EMS for patients was the largest(75.4%), and the reason of EMS delay due to the request of medical direction was the highest(71.4%) for the reason for responding "not necessary". In regards to the request level of the task scope of emergency medical technicians, injection of certain amount of solution during a state of shock was the highest($3.10{\pm}.96$) for Level 1 emergency rescuers, and the endotracheal intubation was the highest($3.12{\pm}1.03$) for nurses, and the sublingual administration of nitroglycerine(NTG) during chest pain was the highest($2.62{\pm}1.02$) for Level 2 emergency medical technicians, and regulation of heartbeat using AED was the highest($2.76{\pm}.99$) for other emergency crews. For the revitalization of medical direction, the improvement in the capability of EMS(78.9%) was requested from emergency crew, and the ability to evaluate the medical state of patient was the highest(80.1%) in the level of request for medical director. The prehospital and direct medical direction was the highest(60.8%) for medical direction method, and the emergency medical facility was the highest(52.0%) for the placement of medical director, and the evaluation of appropriateness of EMS was the highest(66.1%) for the feedback content, and the reinforcement of emergency crew(emergency medical technicians) personnel was the highest(69.0%) for the improvement plan. Conclusion : The medical direction is an important policy in the prehospital EMS activity because 119 emergency medical technicians agreed the necessity of medical direction and over 80% of those who experienced medical direction said it was helpful. In addition, the simulation training program using algorithm and case study through feedback are necessary in order to enhance the technical capability of ambulance teams on the item of professional EMS with high level of request in the task scope of emergency medical technicians, and recognition of medical direction is the essence of the EMS field. In regards to revitalizing medical direction, the improvement of the task performance capability of 119 emergency medical technicians and medical directors, reinforcement of emergency medical activity personnel, assurance of trust between emergency medical technicians and the emergency physician, and search for professional operation plan of medical direction center are needed to expand the direct medical direction method for possible treatment beforehand through the participation by medical director even at the step in which emergency situation report is received.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the relation between social education and secondary education of seaside and sea village schools for supporting the successors to fishery. Objects of the study were five groups; 321 fishermen, 107 staff members of a Fishery Guidance Center, 1, 001 students, 306 teachers of sea villages, 193 staff members of a Fishery Cooperative Association. The total number of people being object of this study was 1, 876 persons. The questionaire used for this study was made after preliminary counseling with fishermen in sea villages and teachers in seaside schools. The results of this study are as follow ; 1) About the value of Fishery and successors to Fishery There have been more positive responses than negative ones to the question on the value of fishery. The main reason for positive responses lies in the potentiality for development of fishery but the negative responses are because of the heavy work. 56.8% of the respondents expected an increasing number of successor to fishery, but 43.2% of the respondents had a negative foresight on that problem. The negative respondents stated that the fisherman that moved from the sea villages to the urban areas are responsible for the none increasing numbers of successors to fishery. Most of the respondents answered that government support is needed in order to increase the number of successors to fishery. 2) Social education for Fishermen Only 40% of fishermen know the Fishing Village Guidance Center as the main institute for social education. 94.17% of the respondents prefer plural institutes to single ones. 5.9% of the respondents answered with opposit opinions. 40.4% of the respondents answered that technical teachings has not often been practised. The reason why technical teaching does not often come into effect are as follows; lack of technical expertise, insufficient concern of staff members of the Guidance Center or the Cooperation Association. Also fishermen answered that the Fisherman Guidance Center does not often practise technical education. The Fishery Cooperation Association with its social education for fisherman takes the role of education for the economical way and carries out financial assistance. The relationship between the Fishery Cooperative Association and fishermen is presented satisfactory. However, the frequency of education is not satisfactory. Indifferences between staff members of the Fishery Cooperative Association does not carry out fishery education very often. Also loaned money matters were not satisfactory. 3) Secondary education for Fishery This study showed that it is desirable that the practical course of middle schools in islets and seaside villages take education on fishery ; however, a few schools only take the practical course fishery. Most of the fishery high schools want computer education as a new recommendable course. The students of fishery high schools want computer education as a new recommendable course. The students of fishery high schools have problems with scientific terms in the text books for the practical of fishery high schools have problems with scientific terms in the text books for the practical courses. Over 80% of the respondents agreed that the principals of schools in islets and sea side villages should be men having majored in fishery. 4) The connection between social education and secondary education for fishery a. It is desirable that the principal and vice principal of secondary schools in islets and sea side villages are men majored in fishery. b. It is recommendable that fishery courses are taken as practical courses in fishery village schools for it is helpful to relate between the vocation and the district's special character, as well as to built up relation between the middle school education and the fishery high school education. c. The teachers of fishery high schools and the officials of government offices which are related to fishery should work together to realize a program on teaching various kinds of techniques and give other useful informations to fishermen. d. During the vacations the fishery high school could be used for the social education of fishermen. Seminars on fishery technique and cultural aspects could be held. Especially a spiritual education which is needed for the improvement of the society of fishermen could be achieved by a cultural education. e. On the state level a financial support to raise the number of successors to fishery, a national policy for the betterment of the life of fishermen, as well as active publicity activities are necessary. f. A financial support of the government for raising the number of the successors to fishery is needed. For this purpose a fishery education performed on a state level would be desirable.

우리나라에서 GAP인증제도가 시행된 지 10년이 지났고, 정부는 2022년까지 전체 재배면적의 25%까지 GAP인증을 취득토록 하겠다는 목표를 가지고 있다. 2017년말 기준으로 전체 재배면적의 6.3%, 전체 농가의 8.1%가 인증을 취득했는데 인증확대의 정도는 기대보다 느린 실정이다. 이에 본 연구에서는 GAP인증 농가에 대한 설문조사와 현장점검을 통해 GAP인증의 확대가 더딘 원인을 규명하고 GAP인증의 확대를 위하여 현 제도의 문제점 분석에 따라 발전방안을 제시하고자 수행하였다. 인증농가는 농산물 안전과 위생에 대한 필요성은 인식하나 실제 현장실천방법에 대해서는 부적합 사항이 다수 존재하였다. 이는 인증기준의 모호성과 생산자에 대한 교육방법의 오류에 기인한 것으로 판단된다. GAP인증이 농가에 확대되는 속도가 느리고 소비자의 인지도가 낮은 이유는 GAP인증제도 운영의 구조적 문제로 생각되며, 이에 따른 개선방안이 필요하다. 국가주도형의 GAP인증제도를 국가주도형 민간인증제도로 전환을 할 필요가 있다. 국가는 정책, 연구 및 사후관리에 중점을 두고, 그 외 인증 및 교육, 홍보 등에 관한 실무는 출연기관 형태의 별도조직을 신설하여 담당케 할 필요가 있다. 국가는 GAP인증 확대를 위한 중장기적인 계획을 수립하여 체계적으로 수행할 필요가 있다. 우리나라의 영농 규모에 비해 지나치게 많은 인증기관은 지정기준을 강화하여 통폐합할 필요가 있으며, 인증기관의 재정 자립도와 올바른 인증업무 수행을 위하여 신청수수료를 현실화해야 한다. 또한 인증심사원의 자격기준을 강화하고 교육체계를 정비하여 양질의 심사원을 육성해야 한다. 법령 중심의 단순화된 인증기준은 실제 실천방안 중심으로 세분화할 필요가 있다. GAP인증제도의 발전적 개선을 위하여 산학관의 전문가로 구성된 위원회를 통해 밀도있는 토의가 필요하며 구체적인 발전방안을 도출하여 시행함으로써 안전안심농산물 생산을 통한 국민의 먹거리 안전성에 기여를 할 수 있을 것이다.

This study reports on a comparison between the Korean diffusion of agricultural innovation or extension service and the cooperative extension service in the United States of America. It focuses on relevant differences between the two systems and provides recommendation for improvement of the Korean system to insure success in important areas related to the diffusion of agricultural innovations. After a comparative study on diffusion of innovations it is clear that: in order to have a productive agriculture that makes effective and efficient use of natural resources and helps achieve sustainability goals, a mechanism that delivers knowledge to agricultural communities must be established and maintained. This mechanism is clearly an agricultural extension service that is cooperatively funded by federal, state and local governments and that insures participation of constituents in the process of establishing priorities and evaluating achievements. The success of US agriculture, the most productive in the world, is to a large degree to the Cooperative Extension Service. Based on the results of this study and the differences of the United States and Korea, the following recommendations should be emphasized for more effective communication for agricultural innovation and rural development in Korea: 1) In order to insure that extension educators are high caliber professional individuals, it is important to establish a system that nationally recognizes these individuals as such, and that provides a professional development path. 2) The results of the decision of transfer of extension educators to local governments has not yielded positive outcomes, especially in terms of professional status. It is clearly demonstrable that valuable professionals are leaving the service, that local governments do not have the will and resources to implement a successful extension program. 3) Because of the critical importance of diffusing innovations to agricultural producers in order to insure and quality and steady food supply, it is of critical importance that these issues be addressed before the extension service is further deteriorated. Given the cement situation, it is clear that the extension service should become nationally supported again in cooperation with local and state governments and that extension professionals be given appropriate rank at the national level, commesurate with their peers in research and teaching. 4) The common current committee practice of lengthy reporting and short discussion needs to be changed to one that results in char, brief and substantive action oriented goals. Joint participation by researchers, extension educators and farmers should be encouraged in planning, implementation and evaluation of communication for agricultural innovations. Roles and functions of committees for institutional cooperation, and or agricultural extension committees should be enlarged. 5) Extension educators should be encouraged to adopt new communication technologies to improve their diffusion of innovations methods. Agricultural institutions and organizations should be encouraged to adopt farmer-first and or client-oriented approach in agricultural extension and diffusion of agricultural technologies. The number, complexity and rapid change of information in agricultural extension require the development of a computer based information and report system to support agricultural extension. 6) To facilitate and expand the further development of communication for agricultural innovation and rural development, agricultural communication programs in universities especially in colleges of agriculture and life sciences. 7) To strengthening the sense of national and social responsibility communication for agricultural innovation and rural development among students in agricultural colleges and universities through participation in learning activities by proactive recruitment. 8) To establish and reinforce a policy that insures participation in communication for agricultural innovation and regal development activities. 9) To improve further development of communication for agricultural innovation and rural development in Korea, more research activities should be encouraged.

General status of pediatric dentistry in Korea is to conduct vigorous academic activities and specialized medical care centering the Korean Association of Pediatric Dentistry (KAPD) that has about 1,000 pediatric dentists as members, pediatric dentistry departments of 11 Colleges of Dentistry, numbers of pediatric dentistry training institutions and private clinics specialized in children. From 1996, the accredited pediatric dentists were produced by the KAPD and from 2008, the state began to produce the accredited pediatric dentists. Since then, doctors with expertise in pediatric care had opened private clinics in addition to the university hospitals, it became the basis of a momentum to deepen the specialty of pediatric dentistry. The Dentistry community of Korea is going through rapid and profound changes recently, and the underlying reasons for such changes can be classified largely into a few categories: (1) Decreasing population and structural changes in population (2) Increase in numbers of dentists, (3) Changes in the pattern of dental diseases and (4) Changes in medical environment. In Korea, the children population in the age range of 0 ~ 14 years old had been decreased by 2 million in 2010 compared to that of 2000 due to reduction of birth rate. The current population of children in the age range of 0 ~ 4 years old in 2010 takes up 16.2% of the total population, but it is estimated that such percentage would decrease to 8.0% by 2050. Such percentage is largely behind the estimated mean global population of 19.6% by 2050. On the other hand, the number of dentists had been largely increased from 18,000 in 2000 to 25,000 in 2010. And it is estimated that the number will be increased to 41,000 by 2030. In addition, the specialized personnel of Pediatric dentistry had been shown as increased by 2.5 times during past 10 years. For the changes in the pattern of dental diseases, including dental caries, each df rate of 5 years old children and 12 years old children had been decreased by 21.9% and 16.7% respectively in 2010 compared to 2000. Each df Index also had been decreased by 2.5 teeth and 1.2 teeth respectively. The medical expenditure of Korea is less than that of OECD and more specifically, the expenditure from the National Health Plan is less than OECD but the expenditure covered by households is larger than OECD. These facts indicate that it is considered as requiring the coverage of the national health plan to be reinforced more in the future and as such reinforcement needs continuous promotion. In medical examination pattern of Pediatric dentistry, the preventive and corrective treatment were increased whereas the restorative treatment was decreased. It is considered that such change is caused from decrease of dental caries from activation of the prevention project at national level. For the restorative treatment, the restorations in use of dental amalgam, pre-existing gold crowning and endodontic treatment had been decreased in their proportion while the restorative treatment in use of composite resin had been increased. It is considered that such changes is caused by the change of demands from patients and family or guardians as they desired more aesthetic improvement along with socio-economic growth of Korean society. Due to such changes in dentistry, the pediatric dentistry in Korea also attempts to have changes in the patterns of medical examination as follows; It tends to implement early stage treatment through early diagnosis utilizing various diagnostic tools such as FOTI or QLF. The early stage dental caries so called white spot had been included in the subjects for dental care or management and in order to do so, the medical care guidelines essentially accompanied with remineralization treatment as well as minimally invasive treatment is being generalized gradually. Also, centering the Pediatric dentists, the importance of caries risk assessment is being recognized, in addition that the management of dental caries is being changed from surgical approach to internal medicinal approach. Recently, efforts began to emerge in order to increase the target patients to be managed by dentists and to expand the application scope of Pediatric dentistry along with through such changes. The interest and activities of Pediatric dentists which had been limited to the medical examination room so far, is now being expanded externally, as they put efforts for participating in the preventive policy making process of the community or the state, and to support the political theories. And also opinions are being collected into the direction that the future- oriented strategic political tasks shall be selected and researches as well as presentations on the theoretical rationale of such tasks at the association level.
