This paper reviewed structure and current status of laws related to patient safety using patient safety law matrix to promote systematic approach in legal system of patient safety. Laws related to patient safety can be divided into three areas: laws for preventing; laws for knowing about; and laws for responding. In the case of Korea, gaps are especially prominent in the areas of laws for knowing about and responding. Patient safety law which will be enacted in July 2016 will fill the gap in the area of laws for knowing about. This law will be comprehensive law, covering the full spectrum of laws related to patient safety. However, after reviewing current patient safety law in Korea, the following drawbacks were identified: absence of code for grasping the current patient safety level; absence of code for mandatory reporting in patient safety reporting system; and absence of code for privilege about patient safety work product. Furthermore we need wider discussions about covering issues of open disclosure, apology law, coroners system, and complaint management system in patient safety law.

Purpose: The objective of this study was to publicly report the hospital-level surgical volume for 7 types of surgery including gastrectomy. Also, to investigate the changes in patient behaviors after the public reporting among patients with gastrectomy. Methods: This study used data from the National Health Insurance Service Cohort. The data comprised of 2,214 patients who were diagnosed with gastric cancer and underwent gastrectomy during 2004-2012. An interrupted time series analysis was performed to investigate the association between patients' choice and public reporting. Results: 79.27% of the patients visited a hospital with high surgical volume. The time trend after introduction of public reporting was positively associated with visiting a high volume hospital (per 1 month, RR: 1.004, p=0.0329). However, after adjusting the health policies by reducing copayment, public reporting on surgical volume was not associated with visiting a high volume hospital. Sub-group analyses had also similar results. Conclusion: Patients were more affected by policies on economic support than on public reporting, and the changes in treatment options may have been affected by the increasing preference for large size hospitals. Thus, public reporting did not significantly improve the options available for patients and their decision making on health care utilization.

To perform voluntary occupational health program in worksites, regulational supports are necessary. The regulational supports include assessment of current occupational health program and appropriate incentives. The purpose of this study is to find out the requirements of voluntary occupational health program and conditions to be improved. Study population was industrial health managers of both industries with less than 300 workers and over 300 workers, and the member of labor union who is responsible for safety and health in worksite. Two different questionnaire were used to find out the requirements and conditions to be improved respectively, The results were; 1. The category which prevalence rate of occupational injuries and occupational disease should be lower than national average was most important in health managers employed in industries over 300 workers and followed by reporting system, education, worksite policy, work environment assessment, protective equipment, consequently. But those employed in industries less than 300 workers showed high importance in prevalence rate of occupational injuries and disease, reporting system, worksite policy, work environment assessment, protective equipment, education, consequently 2. The members of labor union thought that worksite policy was most important and the next is education, reporting system, work environment assessment, protective equipment, prevalence rate of occupational injuries and disease. 3. There were difference in importance of education and worksite policy according to the size of industries. Reporting system, prevalence rate of occupational injuries and disease, and worksite policy had different importance between members of labor union and health managers. 4. In the results of quiestionnaire for conditions to be improved, the most important condition was top manager's willingness except personal protective equipments, and followed by financial support, legal support. The limitations of this study were the problems of representativeness of study population. but voluntary health program should be performed in worksites which have relatively good occupational health system. So, this selection bias could not disrupt our results.

이 연구는 한국 언론의 전쟁취재 역사를 간략하게 살펴보고, 실제로 전쟁취재를 했던 현직 기자들을 만나 전쟁취재 활동 과정에서 제기될 수 있는 문제점과 그 개선방안을 탐구한다. 한국 언론의 전쟁취재 역사는 50년 이상 되었지만, 취재과정의 노하우가 부족하고 취재활동에 필요한 여러 가지 여건의 개선은 이루어지지 않은 실정이다. 무엇보다도 전쟁특파원들은 한국 언론들이 전쟁취재를 위한 체계적 준비과정 없이 관습적으로 기자를 파견한다는 점을 주요 문제점으로 지적하고 있다. 또한 전쟁취재 기자들은 자신이 처한 환경과 개인적 경험만을 토대로 전쟁 상황을 생색내기 식으로 보도하는 경우가 많다. 전쟁취재 경험이 적은 기자들을 갈등 지역에 파견하는 것도 전쟁취재의 문제점으로 지적됐다. 이러한 문제를 극복하기 위해서는 먼저 한국 언론들이 제한된 환경에서도 생생한 취재활동을 벌이기 위해 중동지역의 국제전문가와 분쟁 전문기자 또는 특파원을 두어 이들을 체계적으로 교육하고 관리할 필요가 있다.

The objectives of this study were (1) to describe doctors' perception and attitudes toward patient safety culture and medical error reporting in their working unit and hospitals, (2) to examine whether these perception and attitudes differ by doctors' characteristics, such as sex, position, and specialties, and (3) to understand the relationship between overall perception of patient safety in their working unit and each sub domain of patient safety culture. A survey was conducted with 135 doctors working in a university hospital in Korea. After descriptive analyses and chi-square tests of subgroup differences, a multivariate-regression of overall perception of patient safety in their unit with sub-domains of patient safety culture was conducted. Overall, a significant proportion of doctors expressed negative perception of their working units' patient safety culture, many reporting potentials for patient safety problems to occur in their unit. They also negatively viewed their hospital leadership's commitment on patient safety. Regarding the patient safety in their working unit, doctors were most worried about staffing level and observance of safety procedures. Most doctors did not know how and which medical error to report. They also perceived that medical errors would work against them personally and penalize them. About 22 percent of respondents believed that even seriously harmful medical errors were not reported.

항공안전 증진을 위하여 운영되고 있는 항공안전 보고제도의 경우에는 그 활성화와 관련 정보의 활용을 위해서는 비처벌 및 데이터 보호의 기준이 먼저 선행되어야 한다. 항공안전 보고제도를 통한 항공안전 데이터의 수집 및 분석의 목적은 이러한 항공안전에 관한 다양한 정보의 수집 및 분석을 통하여 사고의 원인 파악과 이를 바탕으로 한 사고 재발 방지에 있기 때문이다. 현행 "항공안전법" 하에서도 항공안전을 위한 의무보고제도와 자율보고제도가 운영되고 있으며, 그 제도의 수립 취지가 사고 원인 파악 및 재발방지에 있다고 한다. 하지만, 그 보고자에 대한 비처벌이 전제되지 않는 한 현실적으로 항공안전에 관하여 보고제도의 활성화를 기대하는 것은 어려운 것이 사실이다. 이에 항공안전에 관한 정보 수집의 목적과 보고제도의 취지를 검토하여 그에 부합될 수 있도록 제도가 개선되어야 할 것이다. 이러한 보고제도의 활성화를 위해 고려되어야 할 사항 중 하나가 현행 제도상 정하고 있는 항공안전장애의 범위라 할 수 있다. 항공안전 자율보고 제도의 경우 그 보고 대상을 항공안전장애 이외의 경미한 항공안전장애로 한정하고 있다는 점에서 이는 ICAO나 미국 및 영국 등 주요 선진 국가의 제도와 차이를 나타내고 있다. 이에 항공안전장애의 범위를 국제기준과 같이 보다 넓게 인정하되, 항공안전장애의 경우 그 심각성으로 반드시 의무보고를 해야 하는 경우를 정하여 보고제도의 실효성을 담보할 수 있는 개선이 마련되어야 할 것이다. 보고제도의 목적이 사고의 원인 파악 및 재발방지에 있기 때문에 다양한 항공 안전에 관한 데이터 수집 및 분석을 바탕으로 한 안전 조치 및 정보의 공유는 항공안전 증진에 크게 기여하게 될 것이라고 본다. 이 때 가장 중요한 것은 엄격한 데이터 보호와 비처벌 원칙이며, 이에 대한 준수가 확보되어야 한다. 자율보고의 활성화는 안전문화 증진에 기본적인 요소 중 하나로 보고자에 대한 면책과 관련 정보의 보호가 담보되지 않는다면 동 제도의 성공적인 운영은 기대하기 어려우며, 오히려 관련 사실이나 데이터를 은폐하여 처벌을 회피하게 하는 기준으로 작용할 수 있기 때문이다. 안전 증진을 위한 규제는 그 엄격성과 완벽성에도 불구하고, 한계나 사각지대가 발생할 수밖에 없는 것이 현실이다. 기술의 진보와 담당자의 실수 등은 사안마다 다른 형태로 나타나게 되며, 그 결과의 피해나 손해는 실로 심각한 지경에 이를 수 있다. 따라서 본 고에서는 항공안전관리 시스템 중 사전적 예방 수단으로 논의되고 있는 의무보고제도 및 자율보고제도의 활성화 방안과 안전 데이터의 체계적 관리를 위한 개선안에 관하여 다루기로 한다. 사전적 예방제도 구축을 위한 보고제도 개선과 항공안전 데이터 수집을 위한 비처벌에 관한 제도 등의 도입은 우리 항공산업의 안전 증진을 위한 근간으로 작용할 수 있으리라고 본다.

Purpose - This study explores the role played by the government in spreading corporate green IT. Indeed, a lot of evidence is emerging that governments acting independently are not in a position of attaining the far end economic and social changes need for the realization of green IT. As much as matters about green IT was initiated by many governments. Research design, Data, and methodology - This study selected the PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses) as a research design. The PRISMA is recognized for its standard evidence reporting system and can provide adequate systematic review among previous studies. Result - A lot of consensus leads to the acquisition of the value of corporate green IT concerning the effectiveness of the collaboration. This study could obtain six suggestions from the systematic review, such as 'Rebalancing Government and Public Duties', 'Direct Regulation', 'Marketing Tools and Fiscal or Economic Measures', 'VNRP', 'Education for Decision Making', 'Latest Policy Trends within the G8 Nations'. Conclusion - The most challenging aspect when it comes to ensuring corporate green IT is the separation of economic growth from the perspectives regarding life qualities. According to the study (Falcone, 2020), this needs a second policy-oriented wedge concerning re-socialization with the desire of encouraging the development of the culture associated with the corporate green IT.

This study seeks to ascertain whether publicly listed Jordanian corporations (listed on the Amman Stock Exchange (ASE)) exhibit accounting conservatism and whether such companies distribute dividends to stockholders. Furthermore, this study delves into the implications of accounting conservatism on dividend policy in the context of the quality of financial statements of publicly listed Jordanian companies listed on the ASE. To accomplish the aims of this study, the Quality of financial reporting is treated as a moderator for the relationship between accounting conservatism and dividend distribution. Hence, a panel data approach was utilized, which encompasses cross-sectional data for 95 industrial and service establishments for the period (2013-2017). The study found that accounting conservatism has a negative impact on dividends and that there is no difference in the impact of accounting conservatism on dividends based on the quality of financial reports. The study concluded with a number of recommendations, the most salient of which is the need for companies to enhance their concentration on accounting conservatism and adopt a suitable policy for dividends. Thus, this research provides an insights into the financial practices of Jordanian publicly listed corporations and highlights the need for a more informed decision-making process concerning dividends and accounting practices.

This study examines the reporting factors of crime against business in Korea and proposes a corresponding predictive model using machine learning. While many previous studies focused on the individual factors of theft victims, there is a lack of evidence on the reporting factors of crime against a business that serves the public good as opposed to those that protect private property. Therefore, we proposed a crime prevention model for the willingness factor of theft reporting in businesses. This study used data collected through the 2015 Commercial Crime Damage Survey conducted by the Korea Institute for Criminal Policy. It analyzed data from 834 businesses that had experienced theft during a 2016 crime investigation. The data showed a problem with unbalanced classes. To solve this problem, we jointly applied the Synthetic Minority Over Sampling Technique and the Tomek link techniques to the training data. Two prediction models were implemented. One was a statistical model using logistic regression and elastic net. The other involved a support vector machine model, tree-based machine learning models (e.g., random forest, extreme gradient boosting), and a stacking model. As a result, the features of theft price, invasion, and remedy, which are known to have significant effects on reporting theft offences, can be predicted as determinants of such offences in companies. Finally, we verified and compared the proposed predictive models using several popular metrics. Based on our evaluation of the importance of the features used in each model, we suggest a more accurate criterion for predicting var.
