주거복지 개선방안에 대한 법적 검토

A Buy-to-rent public housing is one of the types of public housing stipulated in “SPSPECIAL ACT ON PUBLIC HOUSING”, and the supply of public housing is a responsibility for the people of the state and local governments under “FRFRAMEWORK ACT ON RESIDENCE”. However, supplying such public housing requires considerable resources, and housing prices, which have already risen significantly due to years of rising private housing prices, also adversely affect the construction and supply of new housing. In this reality of housing supply, the president has been controversial by directly discussing the government's plan to purchase unsold private houses and supply them cheaply as public housing. In this paper, we examine whether the government's housing policy plan is an accurate policy under the current public housing related laws. In the theoretical sector, we examine the history of human rights and residential rights, and examine whether state intervention for legislative rights is possible under the “CONSTITATION OF THE REPUBLIC OF KOREA” ideology and system to check unilateral exercise of power through separation of powers such as executive power and executive power. In addition, the question of the legitimacy of the government's housing policy plan to unilaterally apply the policy on behalf of a specific area is reviewed through the Principle of Professionalism and equality established in “CONSTITATION OF THE REPUBLIC OF KOREA”. We examine whether the above government's public housing supply plan is feasible through a review of the budget related to public housing. In addition, we examine ‘a Jense frand’, which has recently become a big problem in the housing sector, and propose mandatory ‘registration of rights to release on a deposition basis’ and ‘registration of leasehold interest’ as a legal improvement.

Model of interaction between the government and business towards legalization of unorganized imports

Ukraine’s economy quickly integrated into the system of shadow financial flows and used standard tools to manipulate export and import prices and financial instruments. In terms of cumulative outflows of shadow capital, Ukraine is among the top twenty countries. The research relevance is predefined by the main directions of legalization of economic processes, including in the segment of shadow imports, which involve the formation of optimal institutional strategies for the behaviour of social agents (government and business). The research aims to select the Government’s strategy for legalizing unorganized imports, which will allow the establishment of effective interaction between social agents on mutually beneficial terms. Research methods include mathematical analysis and game theory, used to build mathematical models, which reveal the intrinsic rationality of individual interactions, aggregating a set of social situations into several options and reducing the uncertainty of a set of behavioural options to a clear and stable pattern of regular interaction. The results showed that the level of employees’ salaries is not crucial for overcoming shadow imports, but the level of integrity of customs officers is a more important indicator. The article shows that the mechanism of legalization of shadow operations (in particular, unorganized imports) should be based not only on economic but also on social parameters: the level of moral and professional principles of customs officers. The practical value of the research results is to improve the mechanisms of legalization of unorganized imports in Ukraine.

A systematic review of technology-mediated social work practice: Benefits, uncertainties, and future directions

Summary Social workers are increasingly using digital technology and online platforms in service delivery, with many services having moved online in 2020 following the emergence of the COVID-19 pandemic. A systematic literature review was conducted to synthesize research on the benefits and uncertainties of technology-mediated social work practice. Relevant keywords were searched in the following databases, Scopus, EbscoHost, SocINDEX, and Google Scholar. A total of 28 articles were included in this review, and their findings were synthesized thematically. Findings The review revealed several benefits of using digital tools and online platforms, including providing services to the larger population and making social work more available and accessible. However, while technology was widely employed in social work practice, there were some uncertainties about the impacts of technology on practice, maintaining professional boundaries, and concerns over privacy and confidentiality. Implication There is a need for further support for social workers to access flexible, efficient, and creative tools to maintain the quality of service delivery. The interdisciplinary collaboration between social work bodies and organizations with technology developers will improve technology-mediated social work practice to be aligned with professional principles, ethics, and values.

헌법재판소의 독립성 증진에 관한 소고

Constitutional Court celebrated its 35th anniversary in this year. Since the introduction of the Constitutional Court system in 1987 and the enactment of the Constitutional Court Act in 1988, the Constitutional Court has been in the center of public criticism and political events, but has played an independent role as the final institution for constitutional interpretation. For the Constitutional Court, which is bound to be in a tense relationship with politics, the guarantee of independence should be stronger than any other state institution so that it can fulfill its role as the last bastion of constitutional protection and guaranteeing basic rights. Nevertheless, the current composition method shows a structure contrary to the principles of democratic legitimacy and professionalism, which are the principles of the Constitutional Court, causing problems that hinder the promotion of independence. Constitutional scholars have consistently pointed out issues related to this since the establishment of the Constitutional Court system, but hopes for reform were only intermittent. Time has passed without any significant change, and now discussions on how to organize, one of the pillars of the independence of the Constitutional Court, have been dismissed as a rather dull topic. However, at a time when interest in the Constitutional Court is currently highlighted, it is necessary to re-examine the independence of the Constitutional Court. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to ignite the reform of the Constitutional Court by devising practical improvement measures other than revision based on literature research. As a result, the appointment system reaffirmed the discussion on the need for constitutional amendment and examined detailed improvement plans. In the case of the qualification system issue, it was set as the qualification of constitutional judges in academia, but it was concluded that additional discourse on detailed realization measures was needed. Therefore, the transition period of the improvement process was presented in its own way by using the legal professional development process of the law school. We must continue to pay attention to the Constitutional Court so that it can defend the Constitution and liberal democracy as a fair judge. If the constitutional interpretation is provided that the members of the public can understand based on the fairness and objectivity of the composition outside the Constitutional Court, the credibility of the Constitutional Court can be increased even though it is inseparable from politics and ideology in nature.

Identification and Analysis of Organizational-Professional Factors Affecting the Trust Between the Patient and the Physician

In the health system, professional problems and organizational obstacles cause patient fatigue, physician exhaustion, and ultimately interpersonal issues between the patient and the physician, including lack of mutual understanding and erosion of trust. Therefore, trust, as the central core of social capital, plays a significant role in the quality of interpersonal and intergroup interactions. The trust between the patient and the doctor and its general expansion requires a set of organizational considerations and professional principles in the health system. The purpose of this qualitative research was to analyze organizational and professional factors affecting trust between the patient and the physician. The data were collected through semi-structured interviews in the health service centers located in Tehran. Using purposeful sampling and snowball, a total of 39 participants were interviewed until theoretical saturation was reached. Using the systematic approach of grounded theory (GT) and ATLAS.ti software, the data were categorized and analyzed in three stages of open, axial and selective coding. The findings show that the professional-organizational components effecting on trust between physicians and patients include three components of "adaptable professional management", "adaptable insurance" and "adaptable policy" and nine sub-components as described in the article. These components are the composing elements of the structure and infrastructure of professional development in health system, which can restore the relationship and interaction based on trust between the patient and the physician in health system. The other strategic researches are needed to develop strategies and executive policies to increase the trust between the patient and the physician.

The development of a free market economy that is massive and competitive and the desire to reap hugeprofits instantly has given birth to fraudulent business practices. One of the unethical business practices isthe manipulation of financial reports by accountants. In some cases, public accountants turn loss-makingcompany financial statements into profits.

For Levinas, responsibility towards the "Others" (theOthers) is characterized as ethical, asymmetrical, and absolute.

How context influences person-centred practice: A critical-creative case study examining the use of research evidence in occupational therapy with people living with dementia

Background Occupational therapists are encouraged to use research evidence to guide therapeutic interventions that holistically address the consequences of dementia. Recent efforts to use research evidence in practice have emphasized the challenges of doing so in ways aligned to person-centred and professional principles. Using research evidence is a complex process influenced by multiple contextual factors and layers. The influence of context in occupational therapy for dementia is currently unclear. Aims To explore the contextual complexities of using research evidence in practice with people with dementia, and to develop knowledge to improve the approach to using evidence in person-centred, occupation-focused practice. Material & methods A case study methodology was used, in which the contextual conditions of practice were clarified through the facilitation of critical and creative reflection using the following methods – Think Aloud, practice observation, creative expression and reflective dialogue. Results Cultural beliefs that affected evidence use included technically-orientated understandings of evidence-based practice. These were underpinned by apprehensions about losing professional identity and taking risks when processes derived from research evidence were adjusted to incorporate a persons’ occupations. These cultural factors were perpetuated at the organizational layers of context, where systemic priorities and other team members’ needs disproportionately influenced occupational therapists’ decisions. Conclusions & significance Occupational therapists’ potential to make reflexive and responsive decisions by adjusting evidence-based processes can be affected by their perceived freedom to address organizational tensions. Raising consciousness of the influence of the organizational context on decision-making about evidence use could adjust occupational therapists’ perceptions of their freedom and ability to be person-centred. Intentionality in reflective processes in practice are required to foster reflexivity.

Prevalence of Emotional Abuse Among Medical Students in King Saud bin Abdulaziz University for Health Sciences, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia

Background: Emotional abuse is often described as a precursor to physical abuse and has a significant negative impact on individuals' well-being. This is a widespread issue, especially in the educational context. The study aims to investigate the prevalence of emotional abuse among medical students at King Saud bin Abdulaziz University of Health Sciences in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted among medical students using a survey designed on Google Forms. The data was analyzed using SPSS software version 27. Medical students in their third and sixth years of education were included in the study, while students unwilling to participate and questionnaires with missing responses or data were excluded from the study. Additionally, students from any research team were also excluded. Results: A total of 227 medical students participated in the study, comprising 105 men and 122 women. The majority of students (87.2%) knew about emotional abuse. The prevalence of emotional abuse reported in our study population was 6.4%, with only 0.8% suffering from severe abuse. Based on Fisher's exact test results, none of the examined factors—gender, smoking status, substance use, mental health disorders, GPA, and stream— showed significant associations with emotional abuse among medical students in this study (p-value > 0.05) Conclusions: This study observed a comparatively lower prevalence of emotional abuse in our setting. However, detecting emotional abuse among medical students is essential to protecting their mental health, academic progress, professional development, and the well-being of future patients. It also aligns with the ethical standards and principles of professionalism that are central to the medical profession.
