The Principle of Equality and Private Law
Authors:   Korean Civil Law Association, Lee Dongjin
Published: January 2024

The principle of equality has traditionally been a topic in public law scholarship. In recent years, however, it is increasingly discussed in private law scholarship. This paper discusses how the principle of equality operates in private law. The conclusions are as follows: First, private law legislation as well as private law interpretation have been undoubtedly bound by the principle of equality. However, private law relationships between private persons are not. In this area, the so-called horizontal effect of principle of equality or rights thereto shall be denied. Second, there are examples in private law where the principle of equality appears to be applied. Resolutions, decisions, or di spositions by or in corporations, associations or long-term contractual relationship can be illegal if they are discriminatory; refusal to deal, suspension of dealings, or refusal of admission to an organization or long-term contractual relationship can be illegal if they are discriminatory; the exercise of ownership rights or the operation of an organization can be i llegal if it has been open to the publi c while excluding certain persons or groups of persons in contradiction to that practice. These are manifestations of the inherent limits of private autonomy, of the principle of good faith and fair dealing, of abuses of rights, and of the general right to personality, however, rather than of the principle of equality, especi ally constitutional equality. Finally, legislators can still impose obligations on private persons to treat other private persons equally, and many do. Given the inherent tension between private autonomy and equality, however, such legislation should be limited to specified traits and/or specified areas and should not be too broad. Relevant legislations in the United States and Germany demonstrate it. It is questionable whether the drafts for the general equal
treatment act currently being discussed strikes such a balance.
Eine Studie uber die Reform des deutschen Gesellschaftsrechts und die Eigentumsformen von Gruppen
Authors:   Korean Civil Law Association, KIM Min-ju
Published: January 2024

Diese Studie bietet einen Uberblick uber die wesentlichen Anderungen des Gesetzes zur Modemisierung des Personengesellschaftsrechts (MoPeG), das im Jahr 2021 verkiindet wurde und im Januar 2024 in Kraft treten wird, sowie ihre Auswirkungen auf <las koreanische Zivilrecht.
Das MoPeG stellt eine umfassende Reform der Vorschriften fiir die Gesellschaft im Recht der Schuldverhaltnisse, im Gesellschaftsrecht und in der Zivilprozessordnung dar. Diese Reform erfolgte als Reaktion auf die Entscheidung des Bundesgerichtshofs aus dem Jahr 2001, in der die Rechtsfahigkeit und Parteifahigkeit von A백engesellschaften anerkannt wurden. Die zentralen Themen dieser Studie sind: 1. Die Rechtsfahigkeit von AuBengesellschaften und die vermogensrechtlichen Regelungen von Innengesellschaften. 2. Die Einfuhrung eines Gesellschaftsregisters.
3 . Die Abschaffung der Vorschriften iiber die Gesamthand 4. Die Einfiihrung einer Grundlage fiir die unbeschriinkte Haftung der Gesellschafter fiir Gesellschaftsschulden 5. Die Unterscheidung der Regeln, die je nach dem Zweck des Vereins ohne Rechtspersonlichkeit gelten.
Diese Anderungen in deutschen Recht zielen darauf ab, die Offenlegung mit Publizitatswirkung fiir Dritte in Strukturen verbessem, in denen die fiir <las Gesellschaftsvermogen geltende Gesamthiinderische Bindung nach au13en hin nur schwer offengelegt werden kann. Des Weiteren sollen die Vorschriften fiir rechtsfahige Handelsgesellschaften (OHG und KG) harmonisiert werden. Im Gegensatz dazu sieht <las koreanische Bfugerliche Gesetzbuch im Abschnitt "Sachemecht" drei Arten von Mit-eigentum vor, die auf der deutschen Gesamthandlehre und der japanischen Gesamteigentumstheorie basieren. Abhiingig von der Art der Gruppe kann jede Form von Eigentum als Gesamthandseigentum oder Gesamteigentum eingetragen werden. Daher bestehtkein dringender gesetzgeberischer Bedarf, die Recht- und Parteifahigkeit von Gesellschaften burgerlichen Rechts im koreanischen Recht wie im deutschen Recht anzuerkennen. Vielmehr sollten die Vorschriften iiber das Gesamthandseigentum und das Gesamteigentum so ergiinzt werden, <lass bestehende Gruppen ohne Rechtspersonlichkeit verschiedene Eigentumsformen wiihlen und ihre Eigentumsverhiiltnisse offenlegen konnen.
Long QT syndrome induced by elevated dose of Fluoxetine Cloridrate: case report
Authors: Da Nóbrega Borges José Victor , Ferraz Marta Junqueira Reis , Januzzi Werlley de Almeida , Leila Samira Abdel Correia , Gomes Souto José , Ejima Gustavo Werneck
Published: January 2024

Introduction: Long QT syndrome is a clinical condition that affects cardiac repolarization with an increased risk for the development of severe ventricular arrhythmias. The acquired form can be induced by drugs, such as selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors. Case report: E.A.C.G., female, 83 years-old, previously diagnosed with major depressive disorder in use of Fluoxetine the 80mg/day, was admitted in the emergency department after a syncopal event. An important widening of the QT interval was noted on the occasion, with a corrected value of 580ms. A 24-hour Holter monitoring showed increased ectopic ventricular activity (18% of beats), prolonged QT interval (up to 630 ms), and high-complexity ectopic ventricular beats. Non-sustained ventricular tachycardia was also observed (1030 episodes). The prolonged QT interval was associated to an elevated dose of Fluoxetine. Discussion: We believe that the coexistence between a high dose of Fluoxetine and other risk factor such as female sex and increased age contributed to the development of the case presentation. Conclusion: The rising prevalence of depression in the geriatric population and the indiscriminate use of antidepressive agents such as selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors may contribute to an increase in potentially severe cardiovascular complications.
The influence of other’s emotional perception competencies of teenager on academic helplessness mediated by academic achievement self-concept: Based on influenced by parents’ emotional perception competencies and achievement evaluation
Authors:   The Korea Association for Care Competency Education, Hur Young Ju
Published: January 2024

The this study aims to investigate the direct impact of adolescents' competencies to perceive the emotions of others influenced by parental its on academic helplessness. Additionally, it explores whether adolescents' academic achievement self-concept, influenced by parental evaluations, mediates this relationship. To achieve this, I analyzed the structural relationships using data from the 4th wave (2021) of the Korean Children and Youth Panel Survey (KCYPS).
The results of the study are as follows. Firstly, it was found that higher levels of parental competencies to perceive the emotions of others are associated with increased adolescents’ competencies. Additionally, as parents provide higher evaluations of their children's academic achievements, adolescents tend to have higher academic achievement self-concepts. Furthermore, it was observed that as adolescents' competencies to perceive the emotions of others and academic achievement self-concepts increase, academic helplessness tends to decrease.
Secondly, in middle school students, academic achievement self-concept did not mediate competencies to perceive the emotions of others and academic helplessness. However, in high school students, it was found that academic achievement self-concept partially mediated the relationship between competencies to perceive the emotions of others and academic helplessness. Higher competencies to perceive the emotions of others in high school students were associated with lower academic helplessness, but the indirect effect showed that elevated competencies to perceive the emotions of others were linked to increased academic helplessness by lowering academic achievement self-concept.
Based on these research findings, I proposed providing communication and self-understanding education programs for middle school students, and for high school students, integrating emotion regulation strategy learning programs alongside these. Additionally, I suggested that parents participate in these educational programs to not only learn about understanding others' emotions and providing feedback to their children but also to create opportunities for mutual understanding between parents and children.
An analysis on digital competencies of university students: A case study of A university
Authors:   The Korea Association for Care Competency Education, Jang Jihyeon
Published: January 2024

This study was conducted to diagnose the digital competencies of university students and derive implications for improving educational programs and providing educational support based on the results. To achieve this, a digital competency diagnostic tool designed by A university was conducted, with the participation of 1,097 students. The key findings of this study are as follows. Firstly, among the six sub-competencies of information collection, collaborative communication, content creation, tool utilization, ethical compliance, and problem-solving, tool utilization competency appeared to be somewhat lower. Secondly, an analysis of the difference in digital competencies based on academic year revealed that the competencies of first-year and fourth-year students were somewhat lower(p<.05~p<.001). Thirdly, an analysis of differences based on academic disciplines showed that students in the arts and humanities·social sciences disciplines exhibited slightly lower competencies compared to students in the natural sciences·engineering disciplines(p<.05~p<.001). Fourthly, the analysis for digital competencies perception indicated that students had the highest demand for tool utilization competency. They expressed a desire to cultivate various tool utilization competencies through major education. This study emphasizes the significance of digital competency diagnosis in understanding the competency levels and status of students. It also highlights the potential and utility of providing educational improvements and support through the digital competency diagnosis of the results.
Increase in gap index over time after reduction of unstable paediatric both-bone forearm fracture does not cause displacement
Authors: DOĞAN N , ARSLAN L
Published: January 2024

This study investigated the effects of changes in the gap index on fracture displacement during follow-up. Patients who underwent closed reduction and casting with a diagnosis of unstable paediatric both-bone forearm fractures and a cast index < 0.8 were retrospectively evaluated. Patients were divided into Groups 1 and 2 based on their gap index (<0.15 and >0.15, respectively). Anteroposterior and lateral displacements of the radius and ulna and the gap index of the cast were measured on the X-ray after the first reduction and on the last X-ray before plaster removal. The mean patient age (n = 94, 74 boys and 20 girls; 51 in Group 1 and 43 in Group 2) was 7.09 ± 2.66 years. Fracture union times (plaster removal) were 38.8 ± 7.1 days. The mean cast index was 0.76 ± 0.05 (0.59–0.8). Both groups had similar distributions in terms of age, sex, fracture side, anatomic location and plaster removal time (p > 0.05). No significant differences were observed in either group in any radial or ulnar angulation values at any time point or the difference between the first and last values (all p > 0.05). Moreover, the gap index difference between the first and last measurements was significantly different in both groups (p = 0.002). If the cast index remains <0.8, despite the increase in the gap index in both groups, the amount of fracture displacement was small and acceptable.

Published: January 2024

Treatment of fibular fractures associated with extra-articular distal tibia fractures is technically challenging and the purpose of this study was to evaluate the use of intramedullary nail fixation of fibular fractures when associated with this fracture. Between January 2018 and December 2021, 33 patients presenting extra-articular distal tibia fractures and fibular fractures (AO/OTA 43A) were treated. Clinical and radiological data were collected during routine postoperative follow-ups. Thirty-one patients were monitored for a period of time ranging from 12 to 23 months, with an average follow-up of 17.5 ± 3.3 months. Fibular bone union took an average of 3.6 ± 0.9 months. At the last follow-up, the average fibular alignment and postoperative ankle talocrural angles were 1.8° and 9.1°, respectively. No detectable radiographic rotational malalignment and serious complications related to the fibular incision was observed. The average AOFAS and OMAS scores at the most recent follow-up were 88.3 ± 6.2 and 87.4 ± 6.0, respectively. Intramedullary nail fixation worked well to keep the fibula in place in fibular fractures connected to extra-articular distal tibia fractures.
La necesidad del ego individual como momento constituyente del mundo de la vida
Authors: Charlin Delporte Sebastián
Published: January 2024

Nuestro propósito radica en desarrollar una aproximación crítica a la interpretación usual de la reducción fenomenológica planteada por Edmund Husserl en diversas etapas de su filosofía. Se suele invalidar la posición de Ideas I debido a sus supuestos cartesianos. En efecto, se asume que, al reconducirnos a la evidencia dada en la interioridad de la conciencia, se pierde el contenido del mundo. En lugar de suspender la creencia en la validez del mundo, se aniquila el mundo por completo. Debido a esto, se privilegia la teoría de la reducción desarrollada por Husserl en La crisis de las ciencias europeas por su arraigo en el mundo de la vida, que integra la intersubjetividad, la historia, la cultura, etc. como momentos necesarios de la reflexión fenomenológica. Sin embargo, no se repara en la necesidad de aproximarse al mundo vital desde la subjetividad individual, es decir, a partir de la soledad irrenunciable del ego propio. Justamente, se busca atender a la necesidad e importancia de este momento del yo solitario dentro del mundo de la vida, que, a pesar de su soledad, no lleva a solipsismo algo, con que se unen las perspectivas de Ideas y la Crisis.

Authors: Fernández Concepción Raúl Ricardo
Published: January 2024

Los residuos constituyen uno de los mayores problemas medioambientales que hoy enfrenta la humanidad, problema que adquiere especial relevancia en el denominado mundo desarrollado. Los efectos acumulativos de la intensa e irracional, explotación de los recursos naturales, son tan evidentes que han despertado una generalizada sensibilidad hacia la contaminación del suelo, las aguas, el aire, etc., originada por el espectacular crecimiento de los desechos contaminantes a que da lugar el despilfarro tanto de recursos naturales como manufacturados. Para el desarrollo del experimento se utilizaron cáscaras de papa, teniendo en cuenta la abundancia y la relativa facilidad en conseguir estos residuos, con el objetivo de desarrollar una gama de productos aptos para el consumo humano. Se aplicaron las técnicas de producción y conservación de alimentos y fueron usados los condimentos comúnmente utilizados en la industria alimentaria para este tipo de producciones. Se diseñó una formulación, la cual fue ajustándose paulatinamente a partir de los resultados de la evaluación sensorial de los productos, hasta lograr que los mismos fueran nutricional, microbiológica y sensorialmente aptos para el consumo humano. Como resultado final del experimento se produjeron conservas, embutidos y hamburguesas utilizando las cáscaras de papa como materia prima principal.

Authors: Huerta Lozada Jaime Luis , Salazar Castillo Johana Verónica
Published: January 2024

El estudio buscó analizar la utilidad del Índice de Calidad Ambiental de los Recursos Hídricos Superficiales (ICARHS) en la evaluación de la calidad del agua en la cuenca del río Tambo. Se compararon cuatro índices de calidad de agua utilizando software y metodologías específicas, evaluando parámetros fisicoquímicos y microbiológicos en ocho puntos pertenecientes a la red de puntos de monitoreo de la Autoridad Nacional del Agua ubicados a lo largo de los ríos Titire, Vizcachas, Coralaque y Tambo. Los resultados revelaron que el ICARHS se ajusta mejor para describir la calidad del agua en la cuenca, especialmente en la evaluación de metales. Los otros índices (NSF, IDAHO e ICAU) no resultaron aplicables debido a la falta de evaluación de metales, una característica distintiva de la cuenca. En la evaluación de los puntos de monitoreo, el punto RVizc1 ubicado en el río Vizcachas obtuvo el puntaje más alto ("Excelente"), mientras que el punto RTiti1 ubicado en el río Titire recibió el puntaje más bajo ("Muy mala"). La elección de un índice dependerá de las características específicas de la cuenca y las actividades humanas que afectan la calidad del agua.

E-pembelajaran telah lama diimplementasikan dalam sistem pendidikan di Malaysia untuk meningkatkan kualiti pengajaran dan pembelajaran. Perubahan sistem pendidikan ini membolehkan komunikasi secara aktif dikalangan pelajar dan tenaga pengajar. Namun, keterlibatan dan komitmen pelajar terhadap epembelajaran masih lagi ditahap yang lemah. Pelajar lebih menerima kaedah pengajaran konvensional dan keberatan untuk menggunakan e-pembelajaran. Reka bentuk antara muka memainkan peranan penting dalam menggalakkan keterlibatan dan komitmen pelajar terhadap e-pembelajaran. Reka bentuk antara muka yang lemah merupakan penyebab ketidakselesaan pelajar untuk terus menggunakan epembelajaran. Reka bentuk antara muka e-pembelajaran yang tidak memenuhi kehendak pelajar menyebabkan mereka tidak mengambil bahagian dalam e-pembelajaran walaupun ianya boleh membantu dalam pelajaran mereka. Oleh itu, kertas ulasan ini meneliti isu berkaitan dengan elemen reka bentuk antara muka yang sentiasa berubah mengikut keperluan pengguna. Isu keterlibatan pelajar turut dibincangkan dalam kertas ulasan ini bagi memahami maksud dan situasi keterlibatan pelajar yang berbeza mengikut pelbagai tempat dan keadaan. Dapatan ulasan ini boleh digunakan dalam pembangunan antara muka e-pembelajaran yang boleh meningkatkan keterlibatan dan komitmen pelajar semasa menggunakan e-pembelajaran. Akhir sekali, hasil ulasan ini diharapkan dapat menyumbang kepada peningkatan interaksi antara pengajar dan pelajar serta turut meningkatkan kualiti pengajaran dan pembelajaran.

Published: January 2024

Various researches have been conducted to improve the quality of e-learning courseware. Other than user experience, user interface design is also one of the most important aspects in system usability. It allows users to interact with a system. In the development of user interface design, users are given the utmost priority. Therefore, every development should consider users throughout the process. Developers need to understand the requirements of the end user. The user interface design of an e-learning courseware helps them to conduct activities such as learning, exercise and evaluation. The wrong selection of visual can lead to misunderstanding among the users in interpreting the intended meaning. Furthermore, it is quite tedious for designers to choose the right sign to represent interaction. This paper discuss about research design that needs to be implemented to investigate how users perceive visual elements in interface design.The research design contains five sections; which is setting, sample or participants, measurement instruments, data collection or procedures and data analysis. The sections will be explained through data obtained from the research, underlining the user visual perception aspect. The findings can help improving the quality of e-learning materials for children. The survey shows that students prefer traditional icon than temporary icon. Total of 95% of respondents prefer to use book to represent learn icon. Other than that, this research is also significant to providing the designers and developers with useful guides to enhance their understandings in producing good interface design for e-learning. Excellent qualities of e-learning are essential towards serving the students with the best education. This paper could provide a good reference for researcher to conduct a research that relates to visual communication in information technology.

This paper introduces Waqf Management System design concept based on current available crowdfund design system which focusing on the collection of waqf. The management of waqf is currently placed under authority of State Islamic Religious Council (Majlis Agama Islam Negeri) such Perbadanan Wakaf Selangor (PWS), Perbadanan Wakaf Negeri Sembilan (PWNS) and others. The proposed design concept is an alternative online waqf collector specifically under general and special waqf category (wakaf khas) by the authorities. The authorities have to ensure the project application for collecting waqf approve by them before granted to publish in the crowdfund system portal. As the system design could not across the boundary of stakeholder roles within the waqf ecosystem which strictly handles by the State Islamic Religious Council, the proposed system excludes the main authority operation and process for the project approval due to different practice in the states and remain it for future development

Abstract
This study discusses the theory of competency which focusing on the aspects of the digital skills in learning. Competency is associated with the measurement of performance shown in a given task. The main issue identified emphasizes the lack of a competency standard for digital skills assessment. Thus, a more in-depth study has been conducted to identify the theories that can be used to assess competency. This qualitative research applied the document content analysis approach to identify the three theories competency that is commonly used by researchers: (i) Theory of Boyatzis (1982-2008), (ii) Cheetam and Chivers (1996) and (iii) Theory of Spencer and Spencer (1993). The comparisons of these three theories were conducted to reveal similar elements according to the importance of the study. Furthermore, it was discovered that the competency elements can be classified into (i) Personal Competence, (ii) Skill Competence and (iii) Knowledge Competence. It is hoped that these three elements of competency can serve as the basis for developing a research instrument for digital skills for future studies. Keywords: Competence Theory, Digital Skills, Digital Skills Competence, 21st Century Skills.

Educational software nowadays gives something beneficial to the users, especially to the student. Many features in the educational software can help students to learn more and are exciting to do the task. This paper presents how game features are used for dyslexic children in mobile game applications. The purpose of this literature review is to explore the methodology used in research related to educational software for dyslexic children. This methodology used in this paper is adapted from Kencheman and Keele and Petterson.The results show that most of the literature used quantitative methodology in their research. In addition, the studies were more focused on children rather than adult respondents. The literature suggests several software design guidelines for dyslexic children. Most of the educational software discussed in the literature are games, mobile applications and couseware. Findings supported that the use of the application to educate and develop children skills in learning is vital for dyslexic children.
A Conceptual Integrated Persuasive Behavioral Change Framework Based on Maqasid al-Shariah to Encourage Green Practices of Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) Disposal
Authors: Shompa Zohora Azmin , Mohd Mohadis Hazwani
Published: January 2024

Waste disposal has been a worldwide concern for several decades and the situation is worsening in developing countries including Malaysia due to the progressive increase in waste generation in recent years. Improper waste disposal causes a detrimental effect on the environment and human health. In many developing countries, environmentally friendly practices (reduce, reuse and recycle) have been introduced to reduce the amount of waste generated and alternative methods of final waste disposal are increasingly used to reduce environmental impact. However, most Malaysians have weak awareness of such green practices of MSW disposal despite numerous efforts made by the government. Therefore, how to motivate Malaysians to adopt green practices has been of concern. Within sustainable HCI, persuasive technology has been used to intentionally change user’s behaviors and attitudes through persuasion. However, one of the major limitations of persuasive technologies is, it does not consider how one’s culture and religious views shapes their behavior. As Malaysia is a Muslim-majority country and largely influenced by religious views in guiding and making a positive change in their attitudes and behaviors, we believed integrating persuasive technology with Maqasid al-Shariah would enhance its persuasive power at encouraging green practices of solid waste disposal. Accordingly, in this paper we are proposing a conceptual integrated persuasive behavioral change framework based on Maqasid al- Shariah aiming to encourage green practices of MSW disposal among Malaysians. We hypothesized this framework will be beneficial to increase Malaysian community awareness on the importance of disposing MSW based on Maqasid al-Shariah and eventually reduce risks to health and the environment due to improper waste disposal

Published: January 2024

The ability to automatically detect the gender and age of an individual based on their facial features or other attributes is an important task in computer vision and deep learning. The precision and dependability of gender and age detection models have significantly increased with the use of deep learning algorithms and massive datasets. The lack of diversity in the training data, which can result in prejudice and subpar performance on members of underrepresented groups, is only one of several issues that still need to be resolved. Deep learning for gender and age detection also poses ethical issues including the possibility of abuse and prejudice. The goal of this work is to overcome these difficulties and create models that are very accurate at identifying a person's gender and age. The study's objectives include incorporating ethical issues into the creation and use of the models as well as enhancing the models' effectiveness on members of underrepresented groups. The model will also be optimized for real-time uses in this study, including security and marketing.
