Therefore, hospitals hire physician assistants(PA) to cover for short-staffed physicians and increase the quality of medical care. PA’s perform medical checkups, surgery assistance, prescription, anesthesia, and directing nurses to aid physicians. Foreign nations like the United States and Canada produce highly skilled PA’s via official PA training programs and standardized license exams, and PA’s are allowed to perform limited medical practice. However in South Korea, lack of legal basis for PA’s eligibility, training program, and range of allowed medical practice causes social problems like unlicensed medical care and medical accident. South Korea’s objective for PA program is significantly different from that of the United States and Canada. In those countries, purpose of PA is to aid and cover for primary care, whereas South Korean PA program is used for remedying surgeon shortage problem and hospitals’ business purposes, such as cost reduction and treatment time saving. This study criticizes implementing a new occupational field based on foreign PA policy will cause numerous problems and limits due to the difference of purpose. Therefore, establishing a new management& operating system for medical support persons considering patient safety, supply of health medical manpower, medical field requirements and characteristics of different medical institutions will be a realistic solution. Tasks for PA’s should be categorized and trained accordingly so that PA’s quality increases. Also, appropriate reward system, athority, and eligibility of PA’s are required according to their experience and ability. Registered nurse(RN) in South Korea is recognized as professional medical personnels that went through systematic education. This study suggests improvising RN program and utilizing it will be a efficient and realistic alternative solution for this problem.","PeriodicalId":430360,"journal":{"name":"Wonkwang University Legal Research Institute","volume":"32 10 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114220626","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Medical officials are complaining about the subject of criminal punishment for such medical accidents. Although it will be unfair in many ways from the perspective of the victim who suffered a medical accident, the increase in criminal punishment for medical accidents will be very burdensome for medical workers. Regarding the increase in criminal punishment for such medical accidents, the medical community continues to point out the unfairness. \u0000Regarding criminal punishment for such medical accidents, in Japan, there were also questions about the application of occupational negligence to doctors (the first leaflet of Article 211 of the Japanese Criminal Act) in the wake of the Fukushima Prefectural Ono Hospital incident in 2004. The main reasons for this are that criminal punishment is not necessarily effective in improving doctors' medical technology, securing medical safety, preventing recurrence, and shrinking medical practices due to the imposition of criminal punishment. \u0000Meanwhile, in Germany Jürgens is also pointing out the expansion of criminal punishment for medical personnel. Relief for crime victims is also possible by civil compensation and administrative punishment, but in terms of illegality and accountability, criminal trials should be made and appropriate punishment should be made. However, it seems necessary to consider the specificity of medical practice, consider the disadvantages of criminal punishment for medical personnel, and consider them in various aspects in relation to the scope of negligence. Therefore, in this paper, the contents of discussions in Germany and Japan regarding the limitation of criminal responsibility of doctors were reviewed, and the criteria for limiting criminal responsibility for reasonable medical personnel were reviewed.","PeriodicalId":430360,"journal":{"name":"Wonkwang University Legal Research Institute","volume":"52 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"120954132","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In 2021, both chambers (the National Council and the Council of States) imposed an obligation for streaming platforms to invest in local Swiss cinema. With this new law, not only video streaming service providers based in Switzerland but also those abroad would have to re-invest 4% of their gross revenues generated in Switzerland in Swiss independent film creation. In addition, the law introduced a quota system requiring at least 30% of the offered catalogue to be made up of European cinema productions. \u0000In May 2022, a referendum against this draft bill was initiated by the referendum committee due to consumer opposition As a result, more than half of the amendment voted in favour of the amendment, and the revised film law will come into force in 2024. In the recommendation, the referendum committee expresses its opinion against the law and stipulates whether it originally was the logic of regulatory approval by the regulators and against regulations imposed by consumers. As a result, consumers’ benefits and welfare, which remained up to now unclear, can be verified through actual cases, and the regulatory differences for the same service provider in Switzerland and in Korea can be highlighted. We examine the implications of such platform regulations by looking at Switzerland, which regulates the obligation to reinvest in the local film industry to protect cultural diversity and content comptetitiveness, and Korea, which requires the obligation to stabilize services for network quality.","PeriodicalId":430360,"journal":{"name":"Wonkwang University Legal Research Institute","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130394174","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The gambling agreement takes the form of contract to construct the corporate governance structure, reconstructing the original risks, interests and control pattern of the company organization, and should be subject to the company's laws and regulations.The rule of \"capital reduction first and then repurchase\" established in the Nine Civil Minutes relies on the principle of differentiation to shift the focus of the judgment to the performance of the contract, and puts it under the constraints of the capital maintenance principle. However, the current company law capital maintenance principle is too rough, leading to the gambling share repurchase can only be reduced through capital reduction, to increase the cost.However, the current judgment rules reverse the procedure of capital reduction and repurchase, the procedure of capital reduction can not be conducted and other major problems, which makes it difficult to actually perform the share repurchase, resulting in the absence of investor protection. The principle of replacing capital maintenance with solvency and continuing operation standards outside the domain reflects another regulatory idea of restricting the one-way outflow of corporate assets to shareholders guided by the interests of creditors. However, its high operating costs cannot be ignored in the process of its local introduction.Judicial judgment should comprehensively examine the assets of the target company in specific cases to determine how to perform the share repurchase, learn from the responsibility mechanism of the business judgment of the board of directors to overcome the absence of subject and responsibility identification in the company's decision-making, and take multiple alternative creditor protection measures to prevent the expected risks of share repurchase.Finally, the perfection of category stocks in the company law system is the fundamental way to solve the performance dilemma of gambling share repurchase.","PeriodicalId":430360,"journal":{"name":"Wonkwang University Legal Research Institute","volume":"48 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114224618","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, as cyberspace becomes more common, new forms of crime are emerging, and the seriousness of the crime is emerging. \u0000Among them, digital sex crimes are the most serious. Amid growing anxiety over the crime, the government announced a comprehensive plan to prevent damage to digital sex crimes and actively discussed enacting and revising related bills, but there is still a gap in support for victims. \u0000There is a perception that digital sex crimes are not physically damaged like ordinary sex crimes, and that this crime is lighter than other crimes. However, unlike this perception, digital sex crimes are crimes that are almost impossible to recover from once they are damaged. Once the victim's videos are released into cyberspace, they cannot be permanently deleted, causing pain to victims and social activities cannot be carried out. In other words, the act can be seen as a personality murder of the victim. Despite these criminal characteristics, the system for supporting victims is still inadequate. \u0000The lack of understanding of digital sex crimes by investigators and the Ministry of Justice, lack of budget to support digital sex crimes victims' support centers, and difficulties in international cooperation in arresting overseas Internet operators. To solve these problems, education programs should be carried out at the level necessary for each organization to improve the understanding of investigative agencies and the judiciary, and a system should be established to make education compulsory.

{"title":"Can substantive freedom be guaranteed by Amartya Sen's theory of justice?: Focusing on the implications of building a legal order","authors":"Seo-hyung Lee","doi":"10.22397/wlri.2022.38.2.95","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.22397/wlri.2022.38.2.95","url":null,"abstract":"In the previous article, the author presented an order that guarantees freedom and equality for all, a legal order in particular. In that context, this article suggests the specific directivity of guaranteeing freedom and right in legal order based on the justice theory of Amartya Sen. \u0000In 『The Idea of Justice』 Sen proposes a way to constitute a system promising substantive freedom for all people. Sen presents capability- the opportunity to choose the aim of life on cherishes the most- as the substantive freedom that must be contemplated. He argues that everyone can enjoy substantive freedom when both the opportunity and process aspects of freedom, which the concept of capability effectively presents, are guaranteed. To build such a just system, Sen presents a method of building an system that continues the decision to extend freedom to all and best promotes justice in a specified focal space. To realize this, he assigns those in effective power the obligations to step aside, be an impartial spectator, and not to see everyone as identities like you and me. The disappearance of the identity here is like Tzu Ch’i of South Wall(南郭子綦) losing himself(吾喪我, wu sang wo, ‘I lost myself’) locked in the boundaries discerning the I and you, from in 『Chuang Tzu(莊子)』's \"Ch’i Wu Lun(齊物論)\". He retrieves the whole of himself(吾) and attains the stage of being one(一) with the wind, which does not discriminate against anything but embraces all. Like Tzu Ch’i of South Wall, those in power decide a plan to build an system that guarantees substantive freedom from the point of view of an impartial spectator who does not set boundaries between the I and you, by embracing everyone including oneself, and considering the context of all lives. Then, will everyone be able to substantively enjoy freedom in their lives if those in power fulfill the aforementioned obligations, as Sen argues? However, Sen gives the obligations to consider and embrace everyone, including oneself, solely to those in power based on the asymmetry of power. In other words, the obligations to not set boundaries between the I and you is paradoxically given by setting boundaries between those who have power and those who do not. Thus, when those in power changes position to another focal space and asks for the guarantee of freedom, they will pursue only their rational aim and accordingly, will not be guaranteed the process aspect of freedom. In the circumstances where it is difficult to guarantee substantive freedom for those who asks for the guarantee of freedom, can we expect those in power to stand for guaranteeing the freedom, adjust their rational aims and make the best decision to promote justice? Based on this review, when those who is asking for the guaranteed freedom can fulfill the role of an impartial spectator disregarding boundaries, the opportunity and process aspects of freedom is guaranteed for everyone including those who asks for freedom,, and those who listen to the voice in any focal ","PeriodicalId":430360,"journal":{"name":"Wonkwang University Legal Research Institute","volume":"36 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133812313","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

But in case of restriction on liability, it is not clear whether or not a medical fee can be claimed. \u0000In many cases, courts judge that there is no obligation to pay the total medical expenses regardless of the liability limit rate, while in most cases, medical expenses are calculated by reflecting the liability limit rate.
