이 연구의 목적은 유로폴 및 인터폴이 제안한 법집행에 미치는 ChatGPT 영향과 책임 있는 사용을 위한 공고안을 비교하여 분석하고, 경찰을 비롯 한 한국 법집행기관들의 책임 있는 ChatGPT 사용을 위한 적용방안을 도 출하기 위한 것이다. OpenAI 회사가 개발한 ChatGPT의 출시와 사용은 그 가능성과 함께 한 계를 노출하고 있다. 또한, 범죄자나 악의적인 사용자가 자신들의 비도덕적 인 목적을 위해 ChatGPT를 악용할 수 있기 때문에 사회적 위험도 크다. 사기, 사칭, 사회공학, 사이버범죄, 허위정보활동 등의 악용이 나타나고 있 다. 한편, 인터폴은 법집행기관들이 법집행에 ChatGPT 활용을 하고 있고, 그 활용분야로는 번역, 텍스트 데이터 분석, 사기범죄 탐지, 교육훈련, 피 해자 지원, 수사 연구, 가상 비서 등의 업무라고 한다. 인터폴은 유로폴의 도입을 위한 초기적 권고보다 더 구체화하여 법집행기 관이 적극적 준비를 잘 하고 공익을 위해 사용되게 해야 한다고 강조했다. 그러기 위해서 기술 연계, 표준수사절차 마련, 표준화된 교육훈련, 선진기 술 스캐닝 및 예측, 명확한 규칙 제정, 책임 있는 사용 등 대단히 구체적 인 실행방안까지 권고하고 있다. 이 논문의 연구방법으로는 유로폴과 인터폴의 권고사항을 비교해 보고, 관 련 연구들을 문헌연구를 통해 분석하였다. 연구결과 한국 법집행에 대한 적용방안 시사점을 도출하였다. 우선 일반 사회의 악용 및 범죄 예방 시사점으로 범죄피해 방지 대책 추진, 범죄예방 홍보, 거버넌스 구축 및 규제 추진을 제안하였다. 그리고 한국 법집행기관에의 적용방안 시사점으로 ChatGPT 전문가 그룹을 구성하여 연구 추진, 책임 있는 사용을 위한 원칙 수립, 법률 및 규칙 제정, ChatGPT 도입 및 워크북 제작, 전문화 교육훈련 등을 제안하였다. 이 연구를 시작으로 일반 사회에서 ChatGPT 악용 및 범죄피해를 예방하고, 경찰 등 법집행기관들이 적극적인 사용을 하는 계기가 되기를 바란다. 하지만, 이 연구의 제안은 아직 논의단계이며 전문적인 내용은 매우 미흡 한 수준이다. 더 세부적이고 전문적인 논의를 법집행기관과 전문가들이 함 께 모여서 해야 할 것이다.
Particulate matter is known to have adverse effects on health, making it crucial to accurately gauge its concentration levels. While the recent advent of low-cost air sensors has enabled real-time measurement of particulate matter, discrepancies in concentrations can arise depending on the sensor used, the measuring environment, and the manufacturer. In light of this, we aimed to propose a method to calibrate measurements between low-cost air sensor devices. In our study, we introduced decision tree techniques, commonly used in machine learning for classification and regression problems, to categorize particulate matter concentration intervals. For each interval, both univariate and multivariate multiple linear regression analyses were conducted to derive calibration equations. The concentrations of PM10 and PM2.5 measured indoors and outdoors with two types of LCS equipment and the GRIMM 11-A device were compared and analyzed, confirming the necessity for distinguishing between indoor and outdoor spaces and categorizing concentration intervals. Furthermore, the decision tree calibration method showed greater accuracy than traditional methods. On the other hand, during univariate regression analysis, the proportion exceeding a PM2.5/PM10 ratio of 1 was significantly high. However, using multivariate regression analysis, the exceedance rate decreased to 79.1% for IAQ-C7 and 89.3% for PMM-130, demonstrating that calibration through multivariate regression analysis considering both PM10 and PM2.5 is more effective. The results of this study are expected to contribute to the accurate calibration of particulate matter measurements and have showcased the potential for scientifically and rationally calibrating data using machine learning.
In this study, a THC removal system was developed using an oxidation catalyst to solve the problems of the existing thermal oxidation methods, RTO and RCO. In addition, this system was applied to industrial sites to confirm the VOCs removal efficiency. As a result of testing to remove THC and VOCs by applying the reaction system for THC removal in industrial sites, the THC removal efficiency range is between 99.5% and 99.9%. The treatment efficiency of individual VOCs treated through this system was the lowest at 79.0% for methylethylketone and the highest at 91.3% for acetaldehyde, and the average treatment efficiency was about 85.4%. From these numbers, the performance was superior to the existing RTO and RCO systems that showed THC removal performance. This is due to the fact that the oxidation reaction of the oxidation catalyst is a very fast catalyst surface reaction, and the characteristics of the catalytic oxidation reaction are complete oxidation and oxidation reaction under rarefied conditions. In this study, the catalyst role in the reaction system for THC removal is to process THC simultaneously with the system heat source. This is believed to be because the reaction of the oxidation catalyst is a strongly exothermic reaction and can sufficiently provide the amount of heat necessary for the system. At the same time, an oxidation reaction that breaks the bonds of the THC component also occurs. This reaction is a strong exothermic reaction, which can help the system maintain a high temperature during the reaction, and is considered an effective system for processing high concentrations of THC in actual industrial sites where THC concentrations are high, as in this study.
Industrial complex areas are an important factor that contributes to economic development. However, these areas also produce a significant amount of noxious air pollutants. In particular, PM10 emitted from industrial complex areas can lead to detrimental effects on human health. This study was conducted to survey environmental conditions and measure the concentration of PM10 in indoor and outdoor living spaces in Yeosu and Gwangyang. In Yeosu, the level of PM10 concentration in indoor living spaces was measured at 49.38 μg/m3, while the outdoor level was measured at 43.60 μg/m3. In Gwangyang, the PM10 concentration in indoor living spaces was measured at 20.08 μg/m3 while the outdoor measurement came to 18.14 μg/m3. When analyzing the percentage of those who were highly concerned with environmental pollution among a survey group of 200 people, Yeosu City had a rate of 76.5%, while Gwangyang City had a comparable rate of 73%. When looking at the time-activity patterns of residents in both locations, Yeosu residents spend more than 80.0% of their time inside their living spaces, while Gwangyang residents spend more than 70.0% of time inside their living spaces. These high rates are largely due to the fact that most of the residents of these areas are elderly. In both Yeosu and Gwangyang, it was found that 40% of residents use TV and radio rather than newspapers or handouts to obtain information about environmental pollution problems in their area.
In this study, the hydrogen sulfide removal performance of materials that can be used instead of NaOH was evaluated to reduce the amount of NaOH, a harmful substance used in chemical cleaning methods. Three alternative chemical agents were evaluated: commercially available chemical-based CB, enzyme-based EB, and natural substance-based NB. The hydrogen sulfide removal performance evaluation consisted of three lab tests: the EL608 method, a method using a bag, a method using a sensor and a chamber, and a field test conducted on a scrubber in operation in the actual field. As a result of evaluation by the EL608 Method, CB was 92.3% (±2.9%), EB 60.5% (±5.8%), and NB 88.3% (±3.6%), similar or somewhat similar to NaOH (5%) 99.8% (0.1%). In the evaluation of the hydrogen sulfide removal performance using Bag, the Michaelis-Menten coefficient was CB 4.30 and EB 5.30, lower than NaOH 6.60, and the affinity for hydrogen sulfide was evaluated to be stronger. Even in the method using the sensor and chamber, CB and EB showed similar hydrogen sulfide removal performance of NaOH, but NB showed low treatment performance. In the evaluation using the scrubber in the actual field, the treatment efficiency of CB and EB was higher than that of NaOH under all hydrogen sulfide inlet concentration conditions. If microorganisms grow on the packing material filled inside the scrubber, treatment efficiency may decrease. In order to prevent this phenomenon, the microbial growth inhibitory function of alternative materials was evaluated, and CB, EB, and NB were all superior to NaOH. As a result of this study, it was shown that CB and EB can replace NaOH because they have excellent performance in removing hydrogen sulfide and inhibiting microbial growth.
Background: The compression therapy, which is the standard treatment for lymphedema patients, may be difficult to implement and contraindicated to some patients depending on their health condition. Objects: The purpose of this study is to investigate whether kinesiology taping (KT) can be used effectively and safely in the management of lymphedema as an alternative treatment through systematic review and meta-analysis. Methods: In February 2023, the literature was systematically collected through eight search engines with a combination of terms, ‘lymphedema’ and ‘kinesiology taping.’ We qualitatively analyzed the differences and safety of KT methods, and quantitatively meta-analyzed the effects of volume reduction in edema, range of motion (ROM), and pain improvement using Review Manager ver. 5. 4. To assess the risk of bias in the randomized controlled trial (RCT) studies, Risk of Bias was used. Results: A total of 616 articles searched and 20 studies were selected, including 12 RCTs and eight case studies. KT intervention could not replace multilayer compression bandage (MLB), but it demonstrated similar or better results compared to compression garment (CG), with reduced pain and improved intervention comfort. Studies reported skin adverse events ranging from 2.5% to 20.68%, with a total adverse event incidence of 7.7%. There was no significant difference in the application method of KT. As a result of the meta-analysis from the 8 RCTs, the KT intervention showed a mean difference (MD) of –7.18 with a 95% confidence interval (CI) [–12.64 to –1.72] in the volume change of lymphedema, while the pain difference was MD 0.82 with CI 95% [0.50 to 1.15], in comparison to the MLB and CG intervention. Conclusion: KT therapy led to a reduction in edema size, volume, pain, and improved ROM and quality of life. KT may be a viable option for lymphedema patients who have trouble applying traditional compression therapies.
Background: The flexible flatfoot is characterized by a flattening of the foot arch due to excessive bodyweight. The use of shoe insoles or taping methods has been identified as effective in realigning the navicular or calcaneus bones and addressing supination in pronated feet. Objects: This study aimed to analyze the difference between the arch taping attachment method, introduced in a previous study, and a novel taping method designed to provide support to the inner aspect of the heel bone in cases of flexible flatfoot. Methods: A navicular drop test was performed to discriminate flexible flatfoot. To analyze the differences in pressure distribution during walking for each taping method, the subjects underwent testing in the barefoot state with no attachments. The procedure included a sequence of arch taping and heel taping. Subsequent analysis of pressure distribution during walking utilized the GaitRite® system (GAITRite Gold, CIR Systems Inc.). Results: Arch taping and calcaneus taping significantly reduced the integrated pressure over time and peak pressure on the medial side of the midfoot for both feet compared to the barefoot state. Conclusion: The findings of this study suggest that supporting the inside of the heel through calcaneus taping, without direct stimulation to the longitudinal arch and navicular bone, is an effective intervention for flexible flatfoot.
Passengers on public buses operating in the metropolitan area are exposed to the closed indoor air for minutes to hours. The indoor air quality of buses is mostly controlled through ceiling-mounted ventilation and filtration devices. A simulation study using a commercial code was conducted for fluid flow analysis to evaluate the potential effectiveness of an air purifier that can be inserted into bus windows to supply clean air from the outside to the inside. As a result of field measurements, the average CO2 concentration inside the bus during morning and evening rush hours ranged from 2,106±309 ppm to 3,308 ± 255 ppm depending on the number of passengers on board. This exceeded the Guideline for Public Transportation. The optimal installation position of an air purifier appeared to be the front side of the bus. In fact, even a low diffusing flow velocity of 0.5m/s was effective enough to maintain a low concentration of CO2 throughout the indoor space. Based on numerical analysis predictions with 45 passengers on board, the maximum CO2 concentration in the breathing zone was 2,203 ppm with the operation of an air purifier.
필자는 회사법을 공부하면서 계속해서 “주식회사의 주인은 누구인가?”라는 의문에 직면했다. 주주 중심의 관념이 깊게 뿌리박혀 있음에도 불구하고 이를 그대로 적용하면 개인적으로 해결되지 않는 문제들이 많았기 때문이 다. 필자는 이미 이전 논문에서 주주는 주식회사의 이해관계자 중 하나에 불과하다고 주장했으며 주식회사의 주인은 주식회사 자체라고 주장했다. 그러나 최근에 주주 중심 이론의 본거지라 할 수 있는 미국에서조차 이해 관계자 모델이나 팀 프로덕션 모델과 같이 다양한 이론들이 등장하면서 주 주 중심 이론이 크게 흔들리고 있는 양상이다. 따라서 필자는 주식회사의 주인이 누구인지에 대한 논리를 더욱 정밀하게 다듬고, 기업지배구조 이론 의 새로운 동향을 살펴볼 필요가 있다는 결론에 이르게 되었다. 법학이 실 천적 학문임을 내세워 법의 기초와 이데올로기 문제를 경시할 수도 있겠지 만, 기업지배구조와 관련된 모든 법률 조항은 강력한 사상적 기초를 지닌 다는 점을 염두에 두어야 한다. 주주 중심주의라는 사상은 이미 세계적인 흐름 속에서 전통적인 이론으로 여겨지고 있다. 주식회사의 사회적 책임이나 주주 유한책임의 원칙과 같은 문제들은 주주 중심 이론에서는 설명하기 어려운 것들이며, 회사의 주인이 누구인지에 대한 논의는 기업지배구조 이론을 이해하는 데 핵심적인 문제 로 다가올 것이라고 본다. 경영진이나 이사회가 누구의 이익을 위해 일해 야 하는지와 직접적으로 연결되는 문제이기 때문이다. OECD 원칙이나 세 계 학계의 흐름은 이제 기업의 구성원 중 어느 한 구성원만을 중요하게 여 기던 지난 시대와 작별을 고하고 있는 것으로 보인다. 주주 역시 기업의 이해관계자이지만 물적회사인 주식회사에 가장 중요한 자본적 기초를 제공 한 대가로 의결권이라는 배타적 주주 프랜차이즈, 즉 주주특권을 부여받고 있지만, 독일의 경우처럼 우리나라에서도 그들이 종업원과 그 특권을 공유할 날이 올지도 모른다.
Background: Although warm-ups before exercise are widely accepted, research on sex differences in improving hamstring flexibility is limited. Differences in the physical and physiological characteristics between males and females may result in different responses to warm-ups. Objects: This study aimed to examine sex differences in the effects of specific warm-up on hamstring flexibility. Methods: This study included 24 young adults with hamstring tightness. The participants performed five maximal knee extensions and flexions at 90° flexion of the hip, and the maximal knee extension angle was measured in real-time using a smartphone clinometer application. Results: The groups did not significantly affect the maximal knee extension angle but showed a significant effect for repetition (p = 0.002) and group-repetition interaction (p = 0.002). Males had no significant change in hamstring flexibility; however, females showed a significant increase in flexibility in the 5th trial compared with the 1st trial (p = 0.041). These results demonstrated sex-specific differences in flexibility improvement over time. Conclusion: The findings of this study suggest that specific warm-up can successfully improve hamstring flexibility in females. This may be due to various factors, such as muscle stiffness of the lower extremity, estrogen levels, and temperature sensitivity. In clinical settings, specific warm-up might be helpful for females who participate in sports or activities, such as running or jumping, which require a full range of motion in the hip and knee joints.
Background: Ankle sprains occur frequently among humans who undertake various body movements. Diverse walking environments and dual tasks, that can affect ankle sprains, have been studied. However, there is a lack of research on inter-trial variability according to the changes in gait speed. Objects: The purpose of this study was to compare the adaptive ability of walking between the subjects with chronic ankle instability and healthy adults while performing a walking task with different walking speeds. Methods: In this study, 24 people in the chronic ankle instability group and 24 people in the healthy ankle group were selected as subjects. The length of the pre-measurement and the actual walking measurement were both set to 4.6 m. Once the subjects entered the measurement section, they changed their gait speed according to the randomly assigned speed change. Gait was measured twice and the average value was used for the analysis. Results: The coefficient of variation (CV) of cycle time in subjects with chronic ankle instability showed a significant difference in all cases except when the subjects changed their speed from preferred to slow and from slow to preferred. The CV of step length demonstrated a significant difference in all cases except for the change from slow to preferred and from preferred to fast. The cycle time and step length differential showed a significant difference only when the subjects changed the speed from slow to fast. Conclusion: The subjects with chronic ankle instability were found to have significantly reduced walking adaptability while performing inter-trial variability tasks with different gait speeds compared to healthy subjects.
We conducted research on the removal performance of various odor substances using a deodorizing agent, hypochlorite ion (OCl-), in odor emission sites where various odor-causing substances occur simultaneously. In experiments treating odor gases containing mixtures of aldehydes (acetaldehyde, n-butyl aldehyde, iso-valeraldehyde, propionaldehyde), sulfur compounds (hydrogen sulfide, methyl mercaptan, and dimethyl sulfide), and nitrogen compounds (ammonia and trimethyl amine), it was demonstrated that the introduced odor substances could be simultaneously removed when electrolyzed water was used. The overall removal efficiency was found to be significantly higher than when water alone was used. Particularly, it showed simultaneous effectiveness against acidic, neutral, and alkaline odor substances such as ammonia and hydrogen sulfide. Considering the positive aspects with regard to chemical safety, the use of salt instead of chemicals, and the continuous regeneration of the oxidizing agent, this environmentally friendly deodorization technology is expected to contribute to securing excellent odor removal capabilities and wide-ranging deodorization applications.
Forward head posture (FHP) is a musculoskeletal disorder that causes neck pain. Several exercise interventions have been used in South Korea to improve craniovertebral angle (CVA) and relieve neck pain. There has been no domestic literature review study over the past 5 years that has investigated trends and effects of exercise intervention methods for CVA with neck pain. This domestic literature review aimed to evaluate the trends and effects of exercise interventions on CVA and neck pain in persons with FHP. A review of domestic literature published in Korean or English language between 2018 and 2022 was performed. Literature search was conducted on Google Scholar and Korea Citation Index by using the following keywords: “exercise,” “exercise therapy,” “exercise program,” “forward head posture,” and “neck pain.” Ten studies were included in this review. All of the studies showed positive improvements after intervention programs that included exercises. Notably, four of these studies demonstrated significant differences in results between the experimental and control groups. Among the 10 studies, nine measured visual analogue scale or numerical rating scale scores and reported significant reductions in pain following interventions, including exercise programs. Five of these studies showed significant differences in results between the experimental and control groups. Furthermore, six studies that used neck disability index exhibited a significant decrease in symptoms after implementing intervention programs that included exercise, and significant differences in results were found between the experimental and control groups. This domestic literature review provides consistent evidence to support the application of various exercise intervention programs to improve CVA and relieve neck pain from FHP. Further studies are warranted to review the effects of various exercise interventions on FHP reported not only in domestic but also in international literature.
Fungal contaminant in the indoor air is one of risk factors that could damage valuable paper-based records preserved in libraries. In the process of monitoring airborne fungi at the Nara Repository, the National Archives, Seoul, Korea, three fungal strains, DUCC 16098, DUCC 17764, and DUCC17767 were isolated from the archive’s air samples. Fungal identification was performed based on the morphological characteristics and phylogenetic analysis of the internal transcribed spacer (ITS), the 28S LSU rDNA, and β-tubulin gene (BenA), and TEF1-α gene. These DUCC 16098, DUCC 17764 and DUCC17767 strains were identified as Clonostachys farinosa, Penicillium cosmopolitanum, and Cephalotrichum purpureofuscum. These species have not been recorded before in Korea. Information on these fungi will help the monitoring and management of airborne fungi in the archival facilities.
Cerebral palsy (CP) is a prevalent neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by motor and postural impairments caused by central nervous system dysfunction. It significantly impacts children’s daily functioning and quality of life. Physical therapy is a crucial intervention for children with CP that aims to improve motor skills and functional abilities. This study aimed to provide a comprehensive overview of holistic physical therapy approaches methods specifically designed for children with CP and examine recent research trends and their implications for optimizing outcomes in this population. This study employed a narrative review approach, conducting a comprehensive examination of the current literature pertaining to physical therapy methods for children with CP. The review encompassed studies exploring assessment techniques, evidence-based interventions, and innovative approaches in the field. It was discerned that encompassing physical therapy strategies, which encompass individualized treatment plans, evidence-based interventions, and the integration of innovative techniques, yield a favorable influence on the motor skills and functional capacities of children with CP. This review synthesizes the current knowledge on effective physical therapeutic strategies for children with CP. Furthermore, this review highlights the need for continued research and innovation in the field of pediatric physical therapy for CP.
Air conditioner filters purify the air of indoor environments by removing air pollutants and supporting the efficiency of the unit’s cooling function. However, an air conditioner filter can become a microenvironment in which some fungi can grow as dust continues to accumulate and favorable humidity conditions are formed. Fungal growth in air conditioner filters could lead to fungal allergies or fungal diseases, in addition to emitting a foul odor. In an effort to understand what species causes this malodorous problem, we investigated the diversity of fungi found in air conditioners. Fungi were sampled from the collected air conditioner filters and grown on DG18 agar media. After purification for pure isolates, species identification was undertaken. Colony morphology was observed on PDA, MEA, CYA, and OA media. Microstructures of fruiting body, mycelia, and spores were examined using a light microscope. Molecular identification was performed by PCR and sequencing of PCR amplicons, and molecular phylogenetic analysis of sequenced DNA markers, including the Internal Transcribed Spacer (ITS), the 28S large subunit of the nuclear ribosomal RNA (LSU rDNA), the β-tubulin (BenA) gene, the Calmodulin (CaM) gene, and the DNA-directed RNA polymerase II subunit 2 (RPB2) gene. Through this identification process, we found two fungal species, Aspergillus miraensis and Dichotomopilus ramosissimus, which are unrecorded species in Korea. We will now report their morphological and molecular features.
현행 전자금융거래법 상 전자금융업종은 시행 16년이 지나 낡았고, 지나치 게 세분화되고 경직돼 있다. 이로 인해 최근의 전자금융시장과 업계의 현실 을 유연하고 탄력성 있게 반영할 수 없는 문제점을 노출하고 있다. 업종을 지나치게 세세하게 구분하다 보니, 동일한 기능임에도 불구하고 서로 다른 업종으로 분류되어 다른 규제가 적용되고 있다. 역외 적용 측면에서도 해외 전자금융업체에 적용하기 힘든 상황이다. 게다가 혁신적인 핀테크 서비스의 출현을 제도적으로도 뒷받침하지 못하게 해 우회적인 편법 영업을 만연하게 하는 현상마저 낳고 있다. 전자금융업종은 전자금융거래법의 핵심 규율체계이다. 글로벌 스탠다드에 맞는 원칙과 기준을 확립해 시장에 적합한 전자금융업종의 통합ㆍ개편을 시 급히 추진해야 할 것으로 본다. 먼저 전자금융업종 설계의 기본이 되는 전 자지급수단에 대한 개념정의와 종류를 외국 선진법제처럼 포괄적(네거티브) 탄력적으로 설계해 나가는 것이 바람직하다고 본다. 전자지급수단을 기능 및 역할이 동일 유사한 형태끼리 통합하고 스테이블코인의 경우도 선불전자 지급수단으로 포섭하는 것을 검토해야 할 것으로 본다. 전자금융업종에 대해서도 EU, 일본처럼 원칙과 기능 중심으로 포괄적 설계 를 하는 것이 바람직해 보인다. 핀테크 등 혁신기업의 범위도 전자금융거래 법에서 이를 명확히 할 필요도 있다. 신생 혁신기업의 진입 활성화와 경쟁 촉진을 위해 Sliding Scale 제도나 스몰라이센스의 도입도 필요하다. 종합 지급결제사업자의 도입도 적극 검토할 필요가 있다. 전용 계좌와 연계된 고 객의 결제 관련 각종 데이터의 독자적 확보와 활용을 가능하게 해줘 다양한 부가 사업에 나설 수 있게 해줄 뿐만 아니라, 마이데이터의 고도화도 가능 해지기 때문이다. 오픈파이낸스 시대에 오픈뱅킹과 마이페이먼트의 법제화 도 시급하다. 현행 선불업자에 대한 규제도 공정거래위원회의 신유형상품권 표준약관과 규제 대상 중복문제와 자가형 발행업자들인 대형 백화점, 유통업체, 항공사 등이 배제되는 형평성 문제도 해소할 필요가 있다. 소액후불결제업무는 신 용공여가 주목적이 아니고 포용금융, 대안금융, 금융데이터사업의 성격이 강 한 만큼 소액후불결제의 혁신성, 이용자 후생 증진에 무게를 두고 전자금융 거래법 틀 내에서 세부 행위규제를 새로 설정하는 것이 바람직하다고 생각 한다. 전자금융보조업자들을 시장에 명확히 공개(공시)하여 금융회사·전자금융업자 의 전자금융보조업자에 대한 계약과 간접 감독에 만전을 기하고 전자금융보 조업자의 업무범위와 책임관계를 명확히 할 필요가 있다. 유럽 PSD2, PSD3, 일본 자금결제법에서처럼 전자지급거래 청산기관의 제 도화를 위해 해당 법 규정을 전자금융거래법에 반영하는 것도 바람직할 것 으로 본다. 그리고 전자금융거래법에 역외적용을 강화하는 내용을 반영, 국 내 사업자와의 형평성, 자국민(기업) 보호 차원에서 소비자보호를 위한 행위 규제, 진입규제 등은 강행규정으로서 행위 주체의 소재 국가와 상관없이 적 용되어야 할 것으로 본다.
소유자불명토지의 증가는 최근 일본의 심각한 사회문제로 지적되고 있다. 소유자불명토지란 공부상의 기재내용과 실제상의 권리관계의 괴리 등에 의 해 부동산등기부 등을 참조하더라도 소유자가 즉시 판명되지 않거나 소유자 가 판명되더라도 등기부상의 소유자와의 연락이 불가능한 토지를 의미한다. 이와 같은 소유자불명토지 문제는 소유자와의 연락이 불가능하므로 개인간 거래의 장애요인이 될 것이며 그리고 정부 주도의 사업상 필요한 토지를 이 용하려고 해도 사업대상지 내의 소유자불명토지로 인해 사업실시의 동의를 얻는 것이 불가능하고, 결과적으로 원활한 사업진행의 장애요인으로 지적되 었다. 이에 일본 정부는 위와 같은 문제를 해결하기 위하여, 2021년 민법 및 부동산등기법의 개정 등에 관한 요강안을 작성하여 본 요강안의 내용에 따라 동년 4월 민법 등의 일부를 개정하는 법률을 공표하였다. 본 제・개정 의 내용 중 부동산등기법에 관련한 큰 얼개는 다음과 같다. 즉, 상속등기신 청의 의무화, 상속등기 절차의 간략화 및 부담경감, 소유권등기명의인의 성 명 및 명칭에 관한 정보의 갱신, 등기의무자의 소재 파악이 곤란한 경우 등 기절차의 간략화, 소유권 등기명의자가 법인인 경우 회사법인번호를 등기사 항으로 정한 것, 일본국내에 주소를 가지지 않는 외국인의 경우 일본국내의 연락처를 등기사항으로 한 것, 등기부의 부속서류의 열람제도의 요건의 명 확화, 가정폭력 등의 피해자를 보호하기 위한 방책으로서 등기부의 등기사 항인 현 주소를 갈음한 사항을 기재할 수 있게 한 것, 그리고 소유부동산기 록증명서의 교부의 신설 등의 내용이 새로 추가되거나 개정되었다. 이에 본고는 위의 내용을 소개하여 우리 법제의 운영 및 해석상의 시사를 얻는 것 을 목적으로 하였다.
Canine hyperadrenocorticism, a prevalent endocrine disorder characterized by excessive cortisol production. Notably, hypercoagulability leading to pulmonary thromboembolism (PTE) poses a substantial concern. PTE may be underestimated because of the rapid dissolution of canine thrombi postmortem. However, traditional coagulation assays face challenges in early detection of hypercoagulability. Therefore, this study explored the use of thromboelastography (TEG) as a diagnostic tool for identifying hypercoagulability in dogs with hyperadrenocorticism. A total of 31 dogs visited the Gyeongsang Animal Medical Center between 2018 and 2022, comprising 21 dogs with hyperadrenocorticism and 10 controls who underwent clinical and coagulation analyses. Hyperadrenocorticism was diagnosed using a low-dose dexamethasone stimulation test or adrenocorticotropin hormone stimulation test, and conventional laboratory parameters and coagulation parameters, such as the prothrombin time, activated partial thromboplastic time, fibrinogen, and TEG results, were compared between the groups. Clinical data revealed significantly elevated monocyte, platelet, alanine aminotransferase, alkaline phosphatase, triglyceride, and cholesterol concentrations in dogs with hyperadrenocorticism, which were attributed to excess cortisol secretion (p<0.05). TEG analysis demonstrated significantly decreased K values and increased α and MA values in hyperadrenocorticism dogs (p<0.05), indicating a shortened clotting time and enhanced clot strength, suggestive of hypercoagulability. TEG effectively highlights hypercoagulability in dogs with hyperadrenocorticism and provides valuable insights in predicting blood clot formation. Although predicting clot formation in dogs remains complex owing to multifactorial influences, this study underscores the potential utility of TEG in enhancing such predictions for dogs with hyperadrenocorticism.
Salivary gland dysfunction is a common complication of diabetes. Decreased saliva production and changes in saliva composition may cause oral diseases. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation in the salivary glands results in the loss of acinar cells and decreased saliva secretion. Glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) is the incretin hormone that regulates blood glucose level and can suppress ROS production and inflammation through its antioxidant effects. Dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) is an enzyme that breaks down GLP-1. In this study, we evaluated the pathological role of DPP-4 and GLP-1 on salivary gland dysfunction in type 2 diabetic db/db mice. We observed reduced salivary secretion and histopathological alteration of salivary glands in the db/db mice. The increased DPP-4 and decreased GLP-1 levels in the salivary glands were also detected in the db/db mice. Furthermore, the db/db mice had increased apoptosis and oxidative injury in salivary glands. There was an accumulation of advanced glycation end products and mucus in the salivary glands of the db/db mice. In conclusion, these results showed the possible involvement of DPP-4 and GLP-1, leading to increased ROS-induced apoptosis in diabetes-related salivary gland dysfunction. DPP-4 and GLP-1 may be a pharmacological target for patients with diabetes-related salivary gland dysfunction.
