Ministry of Justice in Korea established an 『Act of International Transfers of Prisoners』 in December 2003 and joined to the 『Convention of the Transfer of Sentenced Persons』 agreed by Council of Europe this year. This will enable Korean government to bring Korean nationals who serve their criminal sentences in foreign countries into Korea and, at the same time, to transfer foreign prisoners who serve their sentences in Korean facilities to their homeland. The purpose of the international transfers of prisoners is to bring the nationals who serve their criminal sentences in foreign countries into the homeland to minimize the suffering from cultural differences such as language, food and custom that exacerbate the harshness of confinement. The procedures of international transfer of prisoners can be summarized as follows; First, the prisoners must give an agreement on their transfer to the homeland. Second, the offence that resulted in a given sentence in a foreign country must also constitute an offence by a relevant domestic law Third, two corresponding countries must agree on the transfer of prisoner on an individual basis. Fourth, after transferring to the homeland, the prisoner must serve the remainder of his sentence in a domestic facility. Finally, the decisions of release on parole or pardon must rely on the domestic legal criteria. By introducing the system of transfer of prisoners among different countries, correctional policy in Korea shows a great advance in terms of the values of rehabilitation and reintegration as well as protections of prisoner's rights. Not only practitioners but also scholars in this field should show their interests in this subject.

도시철도시스템은 차량, 전력, 신호, 선로구축물 등이 유기적으로 결합된 복합시스템으로 고장 또는 사고가 발생하면 원인규명이 어렵고 사고에 따른 영향이 매우 크기 때문에 시스템의 신뢰성과 안전성은 매우 중요하다. 본 논문에서는 철도에서 적용되고 있는 신뢰성관련 국제 규격을 분석하여 국내에서 개발하고 있는 무인운전 도시철도시스템에 이러한 규격들의 내용들을 충족하는 관리체계를 제시하고자 한다. 즉 기존에 적용하고 있는 신뢰성 관리체계인 IEC 60300, IEC 62278, MIL-STD-785B 등의 특성과 장점을 비교분석하여 도시철도시스템에 구체적으로 적용할 수 있는 신뢰성관리체계를 제시하고자 한다.

Simultaneous observations of MODIS (Moderate-resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer) onboard the Aqua and Terra satellites and weather station at ground near the Inchon International Airport (37.2-37.7 N, 125.7-127.2 E) during the period from December 2002 to September 2004 have been utilized in order to analyze the characteristics of satellite-observed infrared (IR) and visible data under fog and clear-sky conditions, respectively. The differences (T3.7-11) in brightness temperature between 3.75μm and 11.0μm were used as threshold values for remote-sensing fog (or low clouds) from satellite during day and night. The T3.7-11 value during daytime was greater by about 21 K when it was foggy than that when it was clear, but during nighttime fog it was less by 1.5 K than during nighttime clear-sky. The value was changed due to different values of emission of fog particles at the wavelength. Since the near-IR channel at 3.7μm was affected by solar and IR radiations in the daytime, both IR and visible channels (or reflectance) have been used to detect fog. The reflectance during fog was higher by 0.05-0.6 than that during clear-sky, and varied seasonally. In this study, the threshold values included uncertainties when clouds existed above a layer of fog.

국제천문올림피아드(International Astronomy Olympiad, IAO)는 유로-아시안 천문학회에서 청소년들에게 천문학지식의 확산, 교육 분야의 국제교류 증진, 과학과 인간 문화의 모든 분야에서 천문학의 중요성을 인식시키기 위하여 국제천문올림피아드를 설립하고 국제올림피아드 설립에 관한 규정을 공포하였다. 1996년, 제1회 국제천문올림피아드를 러시아 북 코카서스 지방에 잇는 러시아 과학원 전문천체물리천문대(Special Astrophysical Observatory of the Russian Academy of sciences, SAO RAS)에서 시범 개최한 이후, 매년 개최하고 있다. 본 논문에서는 국제천문올림피아드의 역대 결과 및 기구, 조직, 실행에 대한 국제천문올림피아드 규정을 중심으로 논의한다. 또한 국제천문올림피아드 문제에 대한 인지적 측면에서 과학지식과 과학적 사고력으로 분류하였다. 과학적 지식의 하위요소로 내용지식, 방법지식, 지식본성 이해로 분유하고, 과학적 사고력의 하위 요소는 수렴적 사고력과 발산적 사고력으로 분유하고 각 세부 요소를 고려하여 실행하였다. 이 분석을 통하여 국제천문올림피아드에 대한 이해화 한국 천문 올림피아드의 방향을 설정할 수 있었다.

Recently, International Standardization is an important issue in competitive world market because of integration of standard, liberalization of international trade and globalization. Consequently, Korean companies need a strategy about corresponding to market circumstance and global standard. In this study, we examine Intellectual Property, Patent and Antitrust Law which are related to standardization. This study suggests company strategy and system integration model to dispose the global standard.
