The International Chamber of Commerce (ICC) eUCP came into force on 1 April 2002. The eUCP is a supplement to the current existing Uniform Customs and Practice for Documentary Credits (UCP500), which governs the use of electronic presentation. The eUCP is not a revision of the UCP. It is a supplement intended to deal with situations where presentations are made electronically. That is to say, the eUCP is a supplement to the UCP that, when used in conjunction with the UCP, will provide the necessary rules for the presentation of the electronic equivalents of paper documents under letters of credit. The purpose of this paper is to study on the criterion of examination of electronic records under the eUCP.

전자신용장통일규칙에 대한 그 동안의 논의는 주로 UCP500과는 별도로 새로운 통일규칙을 제정하여야 한다는 논의와 기존의 UCP500내에서 전자서류에 대한 내용을 새로이 추가하여야 한다는 논의였다. 그러나 궁극적으로 UCP500의 경우 종이서류를 근거로 하여 내용을 규정하고 있기 때문에 전자신용장거래에서의 전자제시에 대하여 적용할 수 없었다. 이러한 점에서 UCP500에서는 전자무역거래에서 사용되고 있는 기본 개념조차도 수용되어 있지 않고 있는데 예를 들면, 전자서명, 전자서류 또는 전자기록에 대한 내용이다. UCP가 안고 있는 이러한 문제의 소지를 사전에 해결하기 위하여 ICC에서 eUCP를 제정하였다는 점에서 큰 의의가 있다고 할 수 있다. 이와 같이 본 연구는 eUCP의 도입배경을 선화증권의 위기문제와 연관시켜 조명하고 eUCP의 주요내용을 살펴보고 이를 UCP500의 규정과 비교하여 봄으로써 UCP500과 유기적으로 사용될 eUCP의 이해를 제고하여 향후 발생될 당사자의 분쟁을 사전에 방지하고자 하는 것이 그 목적이다.

Uncoupling protein 1 (UCP1) is a unique mitochondrial membranous protein expressed in brown adipose tissue (BAT) in mammals. While its expression in response to cold temperatures and adipogenic inducers is well-characterized in mammals and human infants, the molecular characterization and expression of UCP1 in fish remain unexplored. To address this gap, we analyzed UCP1 expression in response to adipogenic inducers in a fish cell line, rainbow trout gonadal cells (RTG-2), and compared it with UCP1 expression in three mammalian preadipocytes, 3T3-L1, T37i, and WT1 exposed to the Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARγ) agonists, rosiglitazone (Rosi). In mammalian preadipocytes, UCP1 protein was highly expressed by Rosi, with an induction of adipogenesis observed in a time-dependent manner. This suggests that UCP1 plays a significant role in adipogenesis in mammals. However, RTG-2 cells showed no response to adipogenic inducers and exhibited only marginal expressions of UCP1. These results imply that RTG-2 cells may lack crucial responsive mechanisms to adipogenic signals or that the adipogenic response is regulated by other mechanisms. Further studies are needed to confirm these phenomena in fish preadipocytes when an appropriate cell line is established in future research.

Objectives : Recent studies have provided some clues with regard to the relationship existing between uncoupling proteins (UCPs) and blood pressure in animal experiments. In an attempt to determine the genetic polymorphisms of UCPs that are associated with blood pressure in humans, we have analyzed genetic polymorphisms in members of the UCP family, including UCP1, UCP2 and UCP3. Methods : In this study, we assessed the association between UCP genotypes and systolic blood pressure (SBP) and diastolic blood pressure (DBP), in a population comprised of 832 Korean female subjects, using a general linear model, which was adjusted for both age and BMI. Results : Among 14 SNPs and the haplotypes constructed from them, haplotype3 of UCP1 (UCP1-ht3) evidenced significant associations with SBP (P=0.0053) and DBP (P=0.0130). However, this haplotype was not significantly associated with obesity phenotypes, including BMI or fat mass (P>0.05), thereby suggesting that its association with blood pressure was not mediated by obesity phenotypes. Conclusions : The source of variations in SBP were determined to occur in the following order: BMI (12.8 %), age (1.2 %) and UCP1-ht3 (1.1 %). Although BMI appears to exert greater effects on blood pressure, the UCP1-ht3 genotype was also found to exert a significant effect.

UCP 600 will now come into effect on 1 July 2007, giving practitioners more than six months to prepare for the change. The vote on the UCP was also a favourable vote on eUCP Version 1.1 which was amended to bring it into conformity with the new rules. ICC Banking commission unanimeusly approved the revised UCP 600 on 26 October 2006 in paris convention. The most important revision of UCP600 have altered the technical and difficult to understand wording of UCP500 into plain simple precise and concise language, The singuler achievement of UCP600 is its elimination of phrase like "reasonable care" "reasonable time" and "an it's face" from the rule. The introduction of separate articles 2 and 3 on "Definitions" and "Interpretation" which contain the concept of "honour" along with the inclusion of certain ISBP wording in UCP, should bring about far greater clarity and precision than in many of the contentions articles in UCP500. The definition of negotiation should help lay to rest the controversies surrounding the terms of negotiation. The removal of reasonable time and the replacement by five banking days should speed the process and make L/Cs more attractive in the market, nevertheless UCP600 have many problems in appling it in practical field. For example the definition of credit, negotiation and purchase it's accepted or undertaken payment draft by accepting bank or deferred payment bank, the second advising bark's position etc. so, I will introduce in this thesis the important revised articles of UCP600 and investigate the problems in applying it in practicle field with reference to the specialist's opinion of the practical field and ICC opinions of drafting Group.

The UCP is an authoritative compilation of the customs and practice of letters of credit observed by most of the participants in the transaction. It remains the most successful set of private rules for trade ever developed. First issued in 1933, the UCP has been through five revisions, the latest being the present UCP 500, which came into force in 1994. Since 1994, new developments in transport, insurance, electronic commerce and banking industry have spurred the current revision of the rules. The ICC Banking Commission approved UCP 600 on October 25, 2006 by a unanimous vote of 91 to 0. The revision, which will come into effect on July 1, 2007, incorporates a number of changes from UCP 500 as follows : UCP 600 has a leaner set of rules, with 39 articles rather than 49 articles of UCP 500; New sections on "definitions" and "interpretations" have been added to clarify the meaning of ambiguous terms; The phrase "reasonable time" for acceptance or refusal of documents has been replaced by a firm period of five banking days; UCP 600 allows for the discounting of deferred payment credits. However, UCP 600 has two main problems such as the inconsistency with insurance industry and the banking community-oriented rules. We have some months before the commencement of UCP 600. From today to the commencement of UCP 600, we should study the full contents of UCP 600 and the influences on the trade industry.

With the current evolution from paper to electronic records the documentary credit market has been looking to ICC to provide guidance in this transition. To allow bankers and traders to familiarize themselves with this trend, eUCP has come into force from April 1st 2002. The eUCP provides definitions to allow current UCP terminology to accommodate the presentation of the equivalent of paper documents electronically and to provide necessary rules to allow the UCP and eUCP to work together. It is important to understand that many of the Articles of the UCP are not impacted by the presentation of electronic equivalent of paper documents and do not require any changes to accommodate electronic presentation. When read together the UCP and the eUCP will be broad enough to allow for developing practice in this area. The eUCP is not a revision of the UCP. The UCP will continue to provide the industry with rules for paper letters of credit in conjunction with the eUCP. This study comments that some characteristics of the eUCP have unique properties, such as juncture, envelope, homotheticity functions, and some applicable interpretations including abstraction of letter of credit, notice of completeness, notice of discrepancies and corruption of electronic records.

본 연구에서는 F344계 흰쥐를 대상으로 8주간 저강도 운동군과 고강도 운동군으로 나누어 수영운동을 실시하여, 갈색지방조직 내 UCP-1과 UCP-3mRNA 발현을 관찰하고 혈당 및 인슐린 수준이 어떠한 변화를 나타내는지 알아보았다. 그 결과 저강도 수영을 실시한 그룹이 대조군과 고강도 운동그룹보다 갈색지방조직 내 UCP-1과 UCP-3 mRNA 발현이 증가되는 것을 관찰하였으며, 고강도 수영군에서 대조군 보다 인슐린 수준이 낮게 나타났으나 혈당에서는 유의한차가 나타나지 않았다. 하지만 저강도 수영군에서 대조군보다 혈당 및 인슐린 수준이 유의하게 감소하는 것을 관찰하였다. 이러한 결과는 저강도 수영운동이 갈색지방조직 내 UCP-1과 UCP-3mRNA 발현을 증가시키고, 당대사를 활성화하여 인슐린민감도를 개선시킬 수 있음을 보여주는 결과이다.

Since the end of World War II, the standby letters of credit have been used as a surety device, serving as a performance bond and guarantee in the world. UCP has been used a governing rule for standby letters of credit transactions in international commercial transactions. But the UCP may be sufficient for certain simple standbys, it is not fully applicable nor appropriate for standbys - as is recognized in UCP 500 Article 1. On the other hand, the International Standby Practices(ISP98) provide rules of practice drafted specifically for standby letters of credit intended as an alternative to UCP 500. It became effective on January 1, 1999. In addition to restating general rules applicable to all independent undertakings with greater precision than does UCP 500, thereby reducing the possibility of litigation, it addresses issues that commonly arise in standby practice not addressed in UCP 500. UCP 500 is valid and still applies to standby letter of credit "to the extent to which they may be applicable." Since ISP98 and UCP 500 coexist and may be applicable to standby letters of credit by incorporation, applicants, beneficiaries and issuers have a choice. This study will assist all interested parties in establishing the right rules for the right product, for the right standby letters of credit.

1) 연구대상자 중 비만아동 빈도수 분석 결과, BIA법에서는 70.0%, BMI에 의한 비만도에서는 32.7%, 신장별 체중에 의한 비만도에서는 23.6%로 BAI법에 의해 비만아동의 빈도수가 가장 많았다. 혈청 생화화적 분석 결과는 NCEP의 이상지혈증 기준 이하로 나타났다. 2) UCP-1 유전자 다형성에 의한 신체계측의 결과의 분포는 정상형과 변이형에서 차이를 나타내지 않았고 혈중 생 화학 결과에서는 LDL (p = 0.039)과 TC (p = 0.063)이 정상형에 비해 변이형에서 유의적으로 증가하였다. 3) LDL을 130 mg/dL 기준으로 고LDL 콜레스테롤혈증과 정상으로 나누었을 때 각각에서 UCP-1 유전자 다형성의 분포는 고LDL 콜레스테롤혈증에서 A allele는 5.4%, G allele는 13.0%로 G allele의 빈도가 높게 분포하였고, 정상에서는 각각 94.6%, 87%의 분포를 나타내었다 (p = 0.062, ORs 2.640). LDL의 농도를 백분위수에 따라 4집단으로 나누고 UCP-1 유전자의 A allele와 G allele에서 LDL 농도의 빈도수를 나타내었을 때 G allele에서는 빈도수가 25th, 50th, 75th, 100th에 따라 유의적으로 증가하였다 ($r^2$ = 0.7995, p-trend = 0.032). 따라서 UCP-1 유전자 변이형은 정상형에 비해 고LDL-콜레스테롤혈증의 발병을 증가시키는 것으로 나타났다. UCP-1 유전자의 다형성은 이상지혈증의 위험인자인 LDL 농도를 증가시키는 위험요인으로써 나타났고, 체중을 감안할 때는 이상지혈증의 위험도가 더욱 증가할 것으로 생각되어진다. 따라서 UCP-1 유전자 변이형을 가지는 비만아동은 고LDL-콜레스테롤혈증의 발병과 관련된 식이 및 환경적 인자를 적절히 통제하는 예방 대책을 마련하여야겠다.
