본 논문은 노동시장 유연성과 외국직접투자에 대한 관계를 연구한 것이다. 또한, 이것은 어떤 유형의 노동시장이 유연하고, 어느 정도의 유연함이 가능하며, 어떤 종류의 정책들이 유연한 노동시장에 필요한지를 검토한다. 이러한 분석은 크게 대륙법과 영미법으로 구성된 법체계에 근거할 것이다. 특히, 이러한 비교는 고용과 노동시장이 얼마나 강하게 규제되고 있는지를 확인할 수 있다. 많은 나라들은 경제가 어려울 때, 어떠한 노동정책들이 그들의 이익에 기여할 수 있는지에 대해 고려해야 할 선택의 순간이 온다.일반적으로, 대륙법계 나라의 노동시장은 성문화된 고용과 노사관계법 그리고 고용법규정의 강행성으로 인해 매우 경직된 상태이다. 반면, 영미법계의 나라들은 판례나 임의고용원칙으로 인해 좀 더 유연성을 갖는다. 이러한 전제하에, 이 논문은 대륙법계와 영미법계나라들이 노동시장 유연성과 외국직접투자사이의 관계에 관하여 상이한 접근법이 필요하다는 것을 검토하게 된다.사실상, 영미법계나라들의 노동시장은 대륙법계나라들보다 외국직접투자를 더 많이 끌어온다. 그러나 본 논문은 특정한 나라들이 많은 외국직접투자를 가져온다면, 사용자측면의 노동시장 유연성이 지속적으로 제고되어야 하는지에 대한 문제를 제기하는 바이다. 더욱 중요한 것은, 그들의 노동시장이 안정적인가라는 의문을 제기할 수 있다. 결과적으로, 많은 나라들이 근로자측면의 노동시장 유연성을 고려해야 할 필요성이 있다.
2013년 12월 인도네시아 발리에서 개최된 『제9차 WTO 각료회의』에서 WTO “발리 패키지”가 최종 타결되었다. 이번 협정은 2015년 7월 말까지 WTO 회원국의 동의 절차를 밟게 되며, 회원국 3분의 2 이상이 동의하면 해당 회원국에 한해 협정이 발효된다. 2001년 11월 카타르 도하에서 개최된 WTO 제4차 각료회의에서 농업, 서비스, 비농산물, 무역 규범, 환경, 지식재산권, 분쟁 해결 등의 협상 의제와 방식 등을 담은 “도하개발어젠다(DDA)”가 출범되었으나, 농산물에 대한 수입국과 수출국의 대립, 공산품에 대한 선진국과 개발도상국의 이해관계 및 의견 차이로 인하여 타결되지 못하였다. 발리 패키지에서는 조기수확(early harvest) 접근방식을 도입하여 DDA의 일부 부문에 대해서만 우선 타결한다는 목표로 협상을 추진하였고, 그 결과 DDA 협상의제 중 무역원활화, 농업 부문, 개발·최빈개도국 이슈 등 3개 부문에 걸쳐 10개의 합의문이 채택되었다.발리 패키지는 WTO 출범 이후 타결된 최초의 다자간 무역협상이다. 발리 패키지의 타결로 WTO의 기능 및 신뢰가 회복되었고, 향후 잔여 DDA 분야의 협상 타결 가능성이 높아졌다. 그러나 협상 분야가 매우 제한적이고, 회원국의 3분의 2 이상이 동의해야 발효되며, 동의한 회원국에만 적용되는 한계가 있다. 발리 패키지의 타결로 전 세계적으로 무역 1조 달러, 일자리 2,000만개 이상이 늘어날 것으로 예상되고, 우리나라의 GDP도 장기적으로 8% 이상 증가할 것으로 기대된다.
본고는 필자가 한국지방자치학회의 우수조례 심사위원회 위원으로 2년간 참여하면서 좋은 조례를 선정하는 과정에서 참고한 선행 연구들을 중심으로 하여 바람직한 지방의회 조례 제정의 방향을 모색하고자 한 글이다. 또한 우수 조례 응모에 참여한 조례들에 대해 소개하고 평가하였다. 조례와 법률과의 관계에 대해서는 헌법 제117조제1항과 지방자치법 제22조를 둘러싸고 다양한 학설과 판례가 있다. 지방의회의 조례 제정에 대에서도 학자와 지방의회 의원, 또 법을 해석하는 사법부의 입장에 따라 다양한 논의가 있을 수 있으리라고 생각한다. 법률에 대한 입법평가가 활발한데 비해 조례에 대한 입평 평가는 그동안 많지 않았던 것이 사실이다. 주민에게 가장 가깝게 존재하는 지방자치단체가 자주적으로 정립하는 자치입법의 경우에는 주민의 생활양식이 변화함에 따라 그 운명을 같이 하여야 한다. 조례에 대한 입법평가를 통해 입법평가방법론을 더욱 체계화할 수 있다고 생각한다. 자치입법권이라 함은 지방자치단체로 하여금 자신의 사무에 대하여 자신의 책임아래 일정한 규율을 정립할 수 있는 입법권능을 의미한다. 자치입법권의 보장은 법적으로 독립된 자주적인 단체로서 지방자치단체의 자율적인 프로그래밍의 보장이며 자기표현의 보장이다. 법적으로 독립된 자지방자치가 민주주의의 실험장인 것과 마찬가지로 조례평가도 법률평가의 실험의 장으로 유용하다고 하겠다. 본고를 계기로 바람직한 조례 제정을 위한 바람직한 방향에 관한 후속 연구가 많이 나와서 지방자치 입법이 보다 더 활성화되었으면 한다.
Odorous compounds produced from blackwater commonly cause domestic nuisance complaints. In this study, aseries of experiments was conducted to apply an electrolytic oxidation system to abate the odor problems fromblackwater. The electrolytic process removes odorous compounds from the liquid sources using direct and indirectoxidation; therefore, the system performance mainly relies on electrode materials. Four different electrodematerials, SS304, SS316, Ti, Ti/IrO₂, were applied, and the electrolytic oxidation showed that hydrogen sulfideand organic constituents were effectively removed. However, the weights of electrodes, SS304 and SS316, weredecreased by 7.5~8% due to the electrochemical decomposition from the anode surface. In order to improve thedurability and economical feasibility, SS304 was used as the cathode while Ti/IrO₂ was used as the anode. Theelectrode combination with the different materials (Ti/IrO₂:SS304) showed the same odor removal efficiency asthat using the same material (Ti/IrO₂:Ti/IrO₂). Consequentially, the electrolytic reaction to oxidize odorous andorganic constituents in humane manure was strongly affected by the electrode materials, and its combination needsto be carefully selected to achieve better performance.
In this study, the concentration distribution of radon, we analyzed from 55 house, 37 government office, 54 schoolfrom June 2008-June 2011 in Chungnam area. From the result of surveying indoor radon degree of 146 facilities,the annual average geometric concentration of indoor radon was 69.4Bq/m³, 40.5Bq/m³, 51.4Bq/m³ in house,government office, school respectively. As for distribution of concentration based on seasons, the radonconcentration showed the highest concentration in winter in all facilities. According to the result of the analysisby dividing the construction year, into before 60s, 60-70s, 80-90s and 2000s, the radon concentration was lowerin all the newly constructed facilities. As for difference in radon concentration due to the presence or absence ofbasement, concentration of house, government office and schools having basement was 52.2Bq/m³, 44.5Bq/m³,36.4Bq/m³ that of having no basement was 75.2Bq/m³, 53.6Bq/m³, 67.4Bq/m³ respectively. Place having nobasement tend to show higher concentration.
In the study, public facilities in Korea covered by the law, including PC-rooms, child care facilities, bus terminalwaiting rooms, elderly nursing facilities, movie theaters, underground subway stations, super super markets andindoor parking lots (8 types of facility, for a total of 32 locations) were investigated for indoor gas phase PAHsand particulate phase PAHs. PAHs source profiles were investigated as well. Finally, public facilities PAHs wereestimated the main influencing factors and sources of indoor by factor analysis. Underground subway stations andPC-rooms tended to be higher the concentration than other facilities. It judged each the effects of car exhaust,smoking, and elderly nursing facilities, child care facilities, movie theaters, where the influence of the outdoor airis less relatively direct effect that car exhaust and incoming of ambient air, were showed low concentration. Supersuper markets displayed a large amount of different products and bus terminal waiting rooms influenced car exhaustis higher than those that. Sources of indoor PAHs in public facilities make out profiling(cooking process: broilingmeat and fish, incense, shampoo, decorative candles, tobacco) and on the effects of ambient on reported existingliterature(of diesel and gasoline engines, heating fuel, coke oven, a wood combustion) was referred for factor analysisto estimate emission sources. As a result of particulate PAHs phase, three major factors were showed that factor1: cooking, use of gas fuel and combustion devices, factor 2: smoking. Factor 3: car exhaust. Factor analysis resultsof gas PAHs phase are similar to particulate PAHs phase. Additionally, factors such as air fresheners was estimated.
We would like to report a case of leiomyoma of the ovaries in a dog. Leiomyoma is commonly seen in the vagina in dogs. However, it is a very rare neoplasm in the ovaries. As there have only been a few reported cases, this report provides valuable information on veterinary medicine and pathology. Masses found in the ovaries need to be differentiated from other ovarian tumors. Therefore, we describe the gross, histopathological, and immunohistochemical features of a case of ovarian leiomyoma in a 10-year-old female Yorkshire Terrier dog. The mass on the right of the uterus was found accidentally by pelvic ultrasonography. Laparatomy revealed a large multi-nodulated ovarian mass. Grossly, cut surfaces of the mass showed multiple firm whitish nodules in the cortex and bloody loose connective tissue in the medulla. Histopathologically, the cortex of the mass was composed of spindle cells forming interlacing fascicles. The cells had elongated, blunt-ended nuclei and eosinophilic cytoplasm as detected by hematoxylin and eosin staining. Immunohistochemical stained sections were immunoreactive for α-smooth muscle actin and desmin but negative for vimentin and S-100. Therefore, differential diagnosis confirmed leiomyoma based on morphology and positive staining for α-smooth muscle actin and desmin.
In this study, leachate treatment facility (outlet, facility inside) and landfill sections (vent systems, landfill surface)of nine landfills is being buried in korea were studied emission characteristics of odor compounds. Air dilutionvalue in ventpipes of landfill section was generally highest and was more 3 times higher than emission standard(air dilution value of facilities outlet : 500) in Daejeon, Tongyeong, and Busan landfill. Outlet of leachate treatmentfacilities in Tongyeong and Daegu landfill, in case, was higher respectively 20 times, 6 times than other landfills,commonly show that a large contribution to the odor of hydrogen sulfide. In case of ordor emission rate, ammoniaand hydrogen sulfide were surveyed to comprise a high rate for odor emission rate. Odor emissions based onlandfill scale, large landfill (Sudokwon) and small landfills (Yeosu, Chuncheon, Chungju) is low in odor emissionsper unit area, whereas medium landfill (Busan, Daejeon, Daegu) was estimated to be high odor emissions. In caseof large landfill, leachate treatment facilities is management in good condition and discharged odor emission oflandfill sections was low into ambient air. In case of small landfill, decay gases and leachate is few. Thereforeodor emissions is fewer than estimated medium landfill. In case of medium landfill, management condition ofleachate treatment facility was in poor and landfill sections was under not stabilization stage. Thus, mediumlandfills was identified that needs to be intensive care.
Localized tenosynovial giant cell tumor (TGCT) usually occurs in the hand and foot regions. However, localized TGCT with extensive cartilaginous metaplasia is rare, especially in the tendon sheath of the toe. Here, we report a case of localized TGCT with cartilaginous metaplasia in a 57-year-old man. The tumor presented as a lobular mass measuring 2.2 cm in its greatest dimension and arose in the flexor digitorum tendon sheath of the right 2nd toe. Clinically, the mass was palpable 1 year ago and brought pain during walking. Microscopically, the mass was composed of focal conventional TGCT and cartilaginous components. The conventional TGCT areas consisted of mononuclear cells, multinucleated giant cells, and hemosiderin deposition. The chondroid areas were extensive and comprised more than 90% of the whole tumor. In this case, the mononuclear cells in the conventional TGCT areas showed focal immunohistochemical staining for podoplanin and S100 protein as well as diffuse staining for CD68, which is consistent with the staining pattern of conventional TGCT. The mononuclear cells in the chondroid areas were focal positive for podoplanin and diffuse positive for S100 protein. Chondroid metaplasia in diffuse TGCT has been reported in 10 cases involving the temporomandibular, elbow, and hip joints. However, there has been no report of a localized form of chondroid TGCT involving an extra-articular region.
Pseudomembranous colitis (PMC) is known to be associated with the long-term administration of antibiotics, which alter normal gastrointestinal flora and allow overgrowth of Clostridium difficile. However, antituberculosis agents are rarely reported as a cause of this disease. Besides, most cases of antituberculosis agent-induced PMC have been observed in patients with pulmonary tuberculosis but not with tuberculous meningitis. This report presents a case of PMC associated with antituberculosis therapy in a patient with tuberculous meningitis. A 29-year-old female patient was admitted due to headaches and diplopia that had lasted for 2 weeks. She had not recently received antimicrobial therapy. She was diagnosed with tuberculous meningitis by cerebrospinal fluid findings and neurologic examination, including brain imaging study. She was treated with standard antituberculosis agents (HERZ regimen: isoniazid, ethambutol, rifampicin, and pyrazinamide). After 11 days of HERZ, she developed a fever, sudden widespread skin eruption, and elevation of liver enzymes. Considering adverse drug reactions, antituberculosis agents were stopped. One week later, her symptoms were relieved. Thus, antituberculosis agents were reintroduced one at a time after liver function returned to normal. However, she presented with frequent mucoid, jelly-like diarrhea, and lower abdominal pain. Sigmoidscopy revealed multiple yellowish plaques with edematous mucosa, which were compatible with PMC. She was treated with oral vancomycin considering drug interactions. Symptoms were relieved and did not recur when all antituberculosis agents except pyrazinamide were started again. Therefore, when a patient complains of abdominal pain or diarrhea after initiation of antituberculosis therapy, the physician should consider the possibility of antituberculosis agent-associated PMC.
A 7-year-old spayed female English Cocker Spaniel dog presented with polyuria (PU), polydipsia (PD), intermittent vomiting, and weight loss. Physical examination revealed pale, tacky mucous membranes and severe emaciation. Hematological and biochemical examinations revealed moderate normocytic normochromic non-regenerative anemia and moderate azotemia. Abdominal ultrasonography demonstrated bilaterally small lumpy-bumpy kidneys with hyperechoic parenchyma as well as loss of renal corticomedullary junction. Based on clinical history and examinations, the dog was diagnosed with chronic kidney disease (CKD). The dog was treated with supportive care including fluid therapy, phosphate-binding agent, and histamine H2-receptor antagonist. Darbepoetin Alfa was administered to control renal secondary non-regenerative anemia. Prescribed diet with low-protein and low-phosphorus was fed to alleviate CKD signs. Further, dietary probiotics were supplemented. This case demonstrates that oral probiotic supplementation helped reduce blood urea-nitrogen (BUN) levels. This case indicates that dietary probiotics can be a potential alternative therapeutic agent for management of renal failure
The current interest in atmospheric particulate matter (PM) is mainly due to its effect on human health.Exposure to outdoor PM is associated with a wide range of adverse health effects. Indoor air contains a complexmixture of bioaerosols such as bacteria, fungi and allergens. Children are known to be more susceptible tothe exposures of PM and bioaerosols which are represented by airborne bacteria, fungi, and allergens. Thisstudy is to assess concentrations of the atmospheric PM and bioaerosols indoors and outdoors at 15 daycarecenters for children located in Seoul. Particles were measured indoors and outdoors with automatic particlemonitoring using beta radiation absorption. Airborne bacteria and fungi were sampled by Anderson sampler.Analysis shows that average indoor PM10 was 95.7µg/m³ (SD 26.6µg/m³) and average level of airbornebacteria and fungi were 575.0CFU/m³ (SD 431.6CFU/m³) and 77.9CFU/m³ (SD 45.6CFU/m³), respectively.Finally, efficient ventilation and effective air cleaning strategies are necessary to reduce indoor concentrationsof particles and bioaerosols.
Male pseudohermaphroditism is not commonly reported in veterinary medicine. Here, a 3-year-old Maltese/poodle mixed dog presented with malformed external genitalia and episodic hematuria. Inspection and palpation of the external genitals showed a malformed penis, shortened prepuce, external urethral orifice, and cryptorchidism. There was no urethral meatus at the tip of the penis. The urethral opening was situated between the prepuce and the penis. The anterior half of the prepuce was absent, and the penis was free and exposed to both trauma and licking. Plain radiographic examination showed absence of an os penis in the penis. A double-contrast cystograph showed the suspected uterus as well as the cystic calculi. A hypoechoic space was seen at the dorsal portion of the urinary bladder. The space was suspected to be the uterus. A sagital ultrasonograph showed cystic calculi in the urinary bladder. During surgery to remove cystic calculi, hypoplastic testes as well as the uterus were observed. Histological examination of the testes showed the seminiferous tubules and interstitial cells. The sertoli cells and spermatogonia were adjacent to the basement membrane. No evidence of spermatogenesis was found. Striated squamous epithelial cells and smooth muscle cells were found in the uterus. This dog had vestigial oviducts as well as a uterus with male-appearing external genitals.
An Australian cattle dog (case 1: 6-year-old castrated male) and a Shih-Tzu dog (case 2: 8-year-old castrated male) were referred to the Gyeongsang Animal Medical Center due to anorexia and depression. Physical examinations, complete blood counts, serum chemical analysis, radiography, ultrasonography, and bone marrow biopsy were performed. Upon physical examinations of cases 1 and 2, enlargement of superficial lymph nodes was not identified. Hematologic findings in these dogs included leukocytosis with severe lymphocytosis, anemia, and thrombocytopenia. Upon radiography, both dogs showed splenomegaly. Upon examination of a peripheral blood smear in case 1, immature lymphoid cells, featuring decreased nuclear chromatin condensation and nuclear pleomorphism, were present. Biopsy samples of the bone marrow in case 1 revealed hypercellularity as well as a large number of immature lymphoblastic cells similar in shape to cells in the peripheral blood. The characteristic morphological features of peripheral blood and bone marrow samples in case 2 were small lymphocytes. Thus, the dogs were tentatively diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) and chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), respectively. After diagnosis, the CLL patient was administered chlorambucil and prednisolone therapy. Due to its similarity to human leukemia, the canine leukemia model provides a valuable model for research into human leukemia.
Day-care center is one of living micro-environments for children. In urban area, day-care centers may be influencedby air pollutants emitted from the vehicle exhaust. In this work, diurnal variation of major pollutants and effectof outdoor air on indoor air quality were investigated using real-time instruments for a day-care center locatednear the heavy road. 48-h continuous monitoring at both indoor and outdoor were made in summer. The day-care center equipped with ceiling system air-conditioners was operated from 7:30 a.m. to 19:30 p.m. Indoor CO₂concentration responded greatly to the human activity. Indoor NO₂ concentration shows a big difference betweendaytime and nighttime, implying that outdoor NO₂ may penetrate into the indoor through opening of doors orwindows during the daytime. Indoor to outdoor concentration ratio of submicron particle surface area is <1 dueto the penetration of outdoor ultrafine particles.
This study evaluated the possibility of clinical application using matrigel-based bioceramic/polymer scaffolds treated with bone morphogenetic protein, angiogenic factor, and mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) for new bone formation. In the in vitro study, bone morphogenetic protein (BMP-2) and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) containing matrigel, which is a basement membrane gel, was injected into HA/PCL scaffolds to estimate the release rates of growth factors. In the in vivo study, BMP-2, VEGF, and MSCs with matrigel-based scaffolds were implanted into rat femoral segmental defects, and new bone formation was evaluated at 4 and 8 weeks. In the results, the release rates of BMP-2 and VEGF explosively increased by day 5. For the in vivo study results, radiological evaluation revealed that the matrigel-based HA/PCL scaffolds with BMP-2 and VEGF grafted (M+B+V) and matrigel-based HA/PCL scaffolds with BMP-2, VEGF, and MSC grafted (MSC) groups showed increased bone volume and bone mineral density. Moreover, in the histological evaluation, large new bone formation was observed in the M+B+V group, and high cellularity in the scaffold was observed in the MSC group. In conclusion, grafted matrigel-based HA/PCL scaffolds with BMP-2, angiogenic factor, and MSCs increased new bone formation, and in clinical cases, it may be effective and useful to enhance healing of delayed fractures.
This research is carried out to investigate the odor emission characteristics in a sewage treatment plant. The plantwas divided into four areas (boundary areas, sewage treatment processes, sludge treatment processes and odortreatment plants), and measured around 27 sampling points. Odor characteristics from each areas were evaluatedby air dilution olfactory method and NH₃/SO₂/VOCs passive sampler, mainly in terms of spatial distribution. Themain odor emission sources were found out to be dewatering plant (S-4) of sludge, sludge transshipment place(S-5), and the outlet of odor treatment plant (B-2, B-3). The correlation between dilution number (OU) and ammoniaconcentration of passive sampler appeared to be low; correlation coefficient 0.49, but correlation coefficient for theresults of sulfur dioxide and toluene were very high, 0.95 and 0.93, respectively. These results indicate that odorcompounds form sewage treatment facility are mainly due to sulfur compounds and volatile organic compounds.
Although various animals have been used as models of cardiac valvular diseases in humans, the structural characteristics of cardiac valves in animals remain unclear. In this study, we investigated cardiac valves in representative animal models for the purpose of comparative anatomy. Adult hearts from three dogs, four goats, six rabbits, and six fowls were fixed with 10% neutral-buffered formalin and analyzed gross-anatomically. Cardiac appearance was spherical or oval in dogs, goats, and rabbits, whereas it had a long conical shape in fowls. Left atrioventricular (AV) valve was composed of membranous septal and parietal cusps connected to two papillary muscles in all animals. The right AV valve was composed of membranous septal, parietal, and angular cusps with three papillary muscles in dogs and goats, membranous septal and parietal cusps attached to four papillary muscles in rabbits, and a single muscular plate without any papillary muscles and chorda tendinae in fowls. Aortic valves with thin membranous right, left, and septal semilunar cusps in dogs, goats, and rabbits had a thick membrane with a bended free border in fowls. Pulmonary valve (PV) with membranous right, left, and intermediate semilunar cusps made a large central hole by being closely attached to the surrounding wall in dogs, goats, and rabbits, whereas it protruded into half of the lumen as a thick membrane in fowls. The membranous cusp of the PV was composed of several layers in dogs and goats but was a single layer in rabbits and fowls. These findings indicate that even if animals have two completely separated atria and ventricles each, cardiac valves have species-specific morphological characteristics, especially between mammals and fowls.
Ammonia is one of typical index substances of environmental odor. This study describes a rapid and simpleadsorption tube type detector to be able to measure the level of strict emission standards with quantitativeconcentration of gaseous ammonia as the regulations are enhanced. a gas detector tube can be measured theammonia gas concentration of 0.23ppm, 0.5ppm, 1ppm, 1.5ppm and 2ppm through the relation between theSampling rate Kog (=DA/L) and the discoloration reaction rate by physico-chemical analysis. Also this study canbe predicted the relation between the sampling volume and the sampling time. and it can be designed to measuringthe range of various concentrations. In this case study, an optimum design was found with an sampling rate, 42ml/min and with a tube diameter, 3.0mm. Adsorption and diffusion rate was evaluated by Fick's law.
Panax ginseng, also known as Korean ginseng, has long been used as a broad tonic in Oriental medicine to augment vitality, health, and longevity, particularly in older people. This study investigated the effects of Korean red ginseng (RG) on bone loss in ovariectomized (OVX) mice. C3H/HeN mice (10-weeks-old) were divided into sham and OVX groups. OVX mice were treated with vehicle, 17β-estradiol (E2), RG (oral administration, 250 mg/kg/day), or RG (intraperitoneal administration, 50 mg/kg/every other day) for 6 weeks. Serum E2 concentration and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity were measured. Tibiae were analyzed using microcomputed tomography. Biomechanical properties and osteoclast surface level were measured. There was no significant difference in the degree of grip strength, body weight, uterine weight, mechanical property, tibiae length, or tibiae weight between the OVX and RG-treated groups. Compared with the OVX group, the serum ALP level was significantly lower in the RG-treated groups. Serum E2 levels and osteoclast surface levels did not change between the OVX and RG-treated groups. RG could not preserve trabecular bone volume, trabecular bone number, trabecular separation, trabecular thickness, structure model index, or bone mineral density of the proximal tibiae metaphysic. In conclusion, there was no definite effect of RG on OVX-induced bone loss in C3H/HeN mice.
