This study explored the public's response to an incident involving publicity about how physicians broke bad news to a terminal cancer patient by analyzing 1,960 comments from three online news websites that reported on this event using Braun and Clarke's theme analysis methods. Three themes and 10 subthemes emerged from the public's responses to the way the physicians broke the bad news. Theme 1 (a physician is a person who tells the facts) contained the following subthemes: physicians are responsible for delivering facts, but it is a matter of consideration for patients to deliver bad news to them, empathy and consolation should be expected from people other than physicians, and physicians who say what patients want to hear are cheaters. Theme 2 (there is a problem with physicians) included the following subthemes: the physicians' empathy or personality and problems with their communication methods. Theme 3 (there are obstacles to communication with dying patients) had the following subthemes: physicians become emotionally dull and find it very stressful to break bad news, giving hope to dying patients can lead to medical disputes, and empathy and consolation are also costly. When breaking bad news, the physicians delivered factual information, but they did so inappropriately, and emotional support for the patient was insufficient. In medical communication education, it is necessary to emphasize training in emotional support. In the medical field, an environment should be created where physicians can communicate as they have learned.

공동주택의 하자소송 금액에서 가장 많은 비율을 차지하고 있는 균열하자는 하자판정 기준이 명확하지 않아 판결에 따라 하자에 관한 판단이 엇갈리고 있다. 균열하자 판결금액 대부분을 차지하는 층간균열은 균열의 폭이나 상태와 관계없이 모두 하자로 판정되는 추세이며, 보수공법 또한 대부분 일률적으로 정해지고 있다. 이는 균열하자 판정의 기준이 되는 국토교통부의 하자판정기준과 법원에서 기준을 삼는 건설감정실무의 기준이 일치하는 않는 문제에서 출발한다. 법령의 개정과 법원감정실무지침서의 개정 등을 통해 모든 이해관계자가 적용할 수 있는 하자판정 기준의 수립이 필요하다. 또한, 층간균열 보수공법 기준은 층간균열의 폭과 상태에 따라 공법을 적용할 필요성이 있다. 균열에 대한 하자판정과 보수공법적용을 합리화한다면 소송에만 의존하는 현재의 하자분쟁 추세를 바꿀 수 있는 계기가 될 수 있을 것이다.

Purpose - This paper analyzes all possible issues that need to be considered in case disputes occur with regard to force majeure in international commercial contracts through the comparative study between English and Korean during COVID-19. Design/methodology - This paper belongs to the field of explanatory legal study, which aims to explain and test whether the choice of law is linked to the conditions that occur in the reality of judicial practice. The juridical approach involves studying and examining theories, concepts, legal doctrines, and legislation that are related to the problem. Findings - English law does not permit general economic impracticability to qualify as a valid force majeure event. If a party asserts that they were prevented from performing the contract, the courts will examine this strictly. Many commercial contracts in a broad range of sectors and industries are chosen by parties to be governed by English law. With COVID-19, there have been discussion of parties being released from performance as a result of force majeure. Meanwhile, under Korean law, a force majeure event should be unforeseeable and beyond a party's control. Since COVID-19 is a known event for future contracts, to avoid the risk that a similar situation in the future is deemed foreseeable and under a party's control, parties must ensure that such a risk is properly addressed in a contract. Therefore, it is necessary to have a new clause to cover a pandemic. Originality/value - In light of the ongoing unexpected and uncertain economic impacts COVID-19 is expected to bring to the world, it is anticipated that companies will experience an increased number of claims involving force majeure around the world, including English and Korea. As such, taking proactive steps to assess the applicable legal principles, including the concept of force majeure of contract, will help companies be prepared for the financial or legal implications of COVID-19. In this regard, it would be advisable for companies and businesses to take specific actions.

Northeast Asia has a multi-layered security structure within which major economic and military powers both confront one another and cooperate at the same time. Major regional powers maintain mutually cooperative activities in the economic sphere while competing one another in order to secure a dominant position in the politico-military arena. The multifarious threats, posed by the North Korea's nuclear development, territorial disputes, and maritime demarcation line issues demonstrate that Northeast Asia suffers more from military conflicts and strifes than any other region in the world. Specifically, major maritime security threats include North Korea's nuclear proliferation and missile launching problems as well as military provocations nearby the Northern Limit Line(NLL) as witnessed in the Cheonan naval ship and Yeonpyong incidents. The ROK Navy has been supplementing its firm military readiness posture in consideration of North Korea's threats on the NLL. It has performed superb roles in defending the nation and establishing the Navy advanced and best picked. It also has been conducive to defend the nation from external military threats and invasion, secure the sea lanes of communications, and establish regional stability and world peace. In order to effectively cope with the strategic environment and future warfares, the ROK Navy needs to shift its military structure to one that is more information and technology intensive. In addition, it should consolidate the ROK-US alliance and extend military cooperative measures with neighboring countries in the Asia-Pacific region. Evolved steadily for the last 60 years, the ROK-US alliance format has contributed to peace and security on the Korean peninsula and in the Northeast Asian region. In conclusion, this manuscript contends that the ROK Navy should strive for the establishment of the following: (1) Construction of Jeju Naval Base; (2) Strategic Navy Equipped with War Deterrence Capabilities; (3) Korean-type of System of Systems; (4) Structure, Budget and Human Resources of the Naval Forces Similar to the Advanced Countries; and (5) Strategic Maritime Alliance and Alignment System as well as Domestic Governance Network for the Naval Families.

As various stakeholders are involved in construction projects, disputes between the parties are more likely to occur, which is a very important issue for the participants in the projects. Claims in construction projects, however, are very complex and thus difficult to manage. In particular, as the cause of a claim in the preceding stage that has not been resolved in a timely manner has an effect on the cause of a claim in the following stage, it is difficult to find a point of compromise regarding a claim caused by the relationship between the causes that occur in the preceding and following stages. In this regard, this study sought to examine the rules for the generation of change order claims, which occur most frequently among the construction claims, and thus to select the key management targets through the analysis of the relationship between the causes of claims arising in the preceding and following stages for the efficient management of claims. It is expected that the use of rules for the generation of change order claims as well as of representative and similar cases will help the construction practitioners in judging claims, considering the relationships among the causes of the claims. Meanwhile, in this study, association analysis was conducted regarding the causes of the occurrence of change order claims in a design-build delivery method, and therefore, it is necessary to verify the effectiveness of the method when applied to other delivery methods.

현대 사회에서 항공기는 중요한 운송수단으로 자리매김 하였고 항공 여객운송에 있어서 항공기 연착 손해로 인한 분쟁은 항공운송 관련 분쟁 중 가장 많이 발생하는 일이다. 항공운송에 관한 국제조약이 적용되지 못하는 국내운송 등과 같은 영역을 규율하기 위하여 2011년 상법 항공운송편이 제정 발효되었고 여기에 여객 및 수하물의 연착으로 인한 항공운송인의 손해배상책임제도도 마련되었다. 몇 개 안되는 조문이지만 항공운송 중 가장 빈번히 일어나는 항공기 연착으로 인한 손해배상 문제를 규율하기 때문에 그 중요성은 매우 크다고 할 수 있다. 기존의 바르샤바협약 체제의 문제점을 개선한 1999년 몬트리올협약의 관련 내용을 대부분 수용하여 제정된 우리 상법 항공운송편 규정들은 널리 통용되고 있는 국제적 기준에 부합한다는 장점은 있지만, 1999년 몬트리올협약의 문제점들을 거의 그대로 지니고 있다는 단점이 있다. 상법 항공운송편상 여객 및 수하물의 연착 손해로 인한 배상책임제도 관련 규정들의 문제점 및 개선방안은 다음과 같다. 첫째, 연착으로 인한 항공운송인의 손해배상책임이 성립되기 위한 '연착'의 개념 정의가 없으므로 '연착'에 관한 정의 규정을 두는 것을 생각해 볼 필요가 있다. 둘째, 여객에 대한 연착 손해 발생 시 국내운송의 경우 국제운송의 1/8 수준으로 항공운송인의 배상책임한도액을 차등하여 규정한 것은 항공사보호에 별로 도움이 되지 않는 반면 소비자 피해의 구제 측면에서는 바람직하지 않으므로 국내운송의 여객 연착 손해 관련 배상책임한도액을 국제운송의 1/4~1/2 수준으로 상향 조정하는 것이 바람직하다고 본다. 셋째, 수하물의 멸실 훼손의 경우와 연착의 경우를 구분 없이 수하물의 손해로 인한 항공운송인의 배상책임한도액을 모두 동일하게 규정하고 있는 것은 일반적으로 손해의 정도가 다른 대상들을 구분하지 않았기 때문에 문제가 있다고 생각되며, 수하물의 멸실 훼손의 경우와 연착의 경우를 구분하여 별도로 배상책임한도액을 규정하는 것이 바람직하다고 생각된다. 위에서 언급된 상법 항공운송편의 여객 및 수하물의 연착 손해 관련 배상책임 규정의 문제점 등을 비롯한 동 법률의 개선요구들에 대한 많은 연구와 논의를 통해 오랜 노력과 기다림 끝에 제정된 국내 항공운송법제를 더욱 발전시켜 나가야 할 것이다.

The noise emitted from an excavator has long been a cause of environmental disputes, while causing displeasure to the nearby residents. So, the ministry of environment adopted the construction machinery noise labeling system to encourage the construction machinery manufacturing companies to develop the low noise construction machinery voluntarily. But, as the quality of life improves, a growing number of people desire the comfortable and quite environment to live in. Under the situation, noise from the construction machinery has been a major cause for stress and complaints. When the noise dispute happened in the construction site, the sound pressure level of the construction machinery like a excavator was measured at the lot boundary of the noise victim's residence to judge how much noise damage occur. But the sound pressure level of the construction machinery is measured differently according to the acoustic environment of construction site and the measuring position, respectively, which makes it difficulty to judge whether the noise damage occur or not. As the sound power level of noise source is not affected by the acoustic environment of construction site and the measuring position, if we use the information of the sound power level, it will be easy to judge whether the noise damage occur and to establish the soundproofing measures. Therefore, we derive the sound power level regression model of the excavator to judge whether the noise emitted from the excavator damages to residents near the construction site. Also, the sound power level regression model of the excavator drawn in this paper will help construction companies to plan the noise reduction program in the construction sites.

The way for seller to procure the goods for selling is to produce the goods at his own factory and to buy the manufactured goods from the other company. In order to produce the goods for selling the seller have to obtain the resource from the domestic company or overseas. In the middle of producing the goods to sell, seller may breach the right of a third party based on intellectual property rights. That is to say, seller may use the machine that has not itself been patented and use a process which has been patented by a third party. Seller may manufacture the goods which themselves are subject to the third party industrial property rights. Nowadays it is stressed the importance of intellectual property rights such as a patent, brand, and design. These factors consist of the core elements of the competitiveness of the goods. Many embedded software have been used in the various sector. So the disputes regarding to the intellectual property rights is gradually increasing in number. Article 42 of CISG defines the seller's delivery obligations and liabilities in respect to third party intellectual property rights and claims. It contains a special rule for this similar kind of defective in title, which tries to provide an proper solution to the complex problems caused by such rights and claims in international transactions. When seller will apply this clause to the business fields, there are several points to which seller should give attention. First, Intellectual property is general terms in intangible property rights, encompassing both copyright and industrial property. Which matter fall within the scope of intellectual property? The scope of intellectual property can be inferred from the relevant international conventions, which are based on broad international consensus. Second, Article 42 of CISG governs the relationship between the seller and the buyer, that is to say, questions of who has to bear the risk of third party intellectual property rights. The existence of such intellectual property rights, the remedies available and the question of acquiring goods free of an encumbrances in good faith are outside the scope of the CISG. The governing law regarding to the abovementioned matters is needed.

도시정비사업(재건축·재개발)은 일반 주택사업에 비해 인허가 기간이 길고, 인허관청과 협의내용이 많아 전문성이 요구된다. 조합원의 대부분은 정비사업에 대한 기초지식도 없어 원활한 사업추진을 위해 많은 권한을 조합장에게 위임하고 있다. 하지만 조합원이 위임한 본래취지와 달리 조합장의 사적이익을 위해 비리에 노출되고 있고, 조합원의 분쟁을 해결하지 못해 사업이 중단된 사례를 쉽게 찾아 볼 수 있다. 이러한 위험을 극복하기 위해 실무전문가로 구성된 설문조사를 통해 정비사업의 문제점을 찾아보고, KCSI 평가모델을 통한 해결방안을 나타낼 수 있었다. 본 연구는 조합장의 업무보조에 국한된 관리형CM이 아닌 조합의 간섭을 받지 않고 독자적인 사업판단을 할 수 있는 책임형CM의 필요성을 언급하였다. 건설산업 진흥의 국가적 역할을 위해 책임형CM 활성화가 필요하여 6가지 실질적 대안을 제언하였다.
