  • 하천 내 반려동물 운동·휴식 편의시설 설치 하천법 일부개정법률안 대표발의
        더불어민주당 김회재 의원(전남 여수시을)은 13일 하천 내 반려동물 편의시설을 설치할 수 있도록 하는 내용의 '하천법 일부개정법률안'을 대표 발의했다. 현행법 상 하천구역에서 가축을 방목·사육하는 행위는 금지되어 있다. 그러나 반려동물 가구가 늘어남에 따라 반려동물과 함께 하천을 이용하는 사례가 많아, 이들을 위한 별도의 휴식 등 편의시설이 필요하다는 지적이다. 이에 김 의원은 개정안을 통해 하천구역 내 반려동물 운동·휴식시설을 설치할 수 있도록 규제 조항을 일부 완화했다. 또한 이용 급증에 따라 발생할 환경 오염을 예방하기 위해 오염 실태 주기적 검사, 오염 우려지역 조치 명령 등도 개정안에 포함했다. 국무조정실은 올해 2월 규제개혁신문고에 접수된 국민 건의 중 하천 내 소규모 반려동물 놀이터 등 설치를 대표 사례로 선정해, 2022년까지 법 개정을 추진하겠다 밝힌 바 있다. 김회재 의원은 “반려동물 천만 시대에 많은 시민이 반려동물과 함께 생활하고 있다. 시민과 함께하는 반려동물도 불편함이 없도록 규제를 완화할 필요가 있다”고 지적했다.

  • '개 식용 문제 논의를 위한 위원회' 운영 연장
               '개 식용 문제 논의를 위한 위원회'는 2021년 12월 9일 출범 후 4월 현재까지 개 식용 문제 해결을 위한 논의를 진행해 왔다.   그동안 활발한 논의를 통하여 개 식용 종식이 시대적 흐름이라는 인식에 공감대를 이루는 성과가 있었으나 아직 합의에는 이르지 못해, 추가적인 논의를 위해 위원회 운영을 2개월 연장하기로 결정하였다.   위원회는 운영 초기부터 개 식용 문제에 대해 이해관계자 등 참여자들 간에 입장 차이가 커서 상호 이해의 폭을 넓히는 것에 중점을 두어 운영하였다.   이에 따라 개 식용 문제 논의에 활용하기 위해 식용 목적 개 사육 현황 등을 조사했으며, 이는 식용 목적 개 관련 통계 자료가 없었던 상황에서 정부가 처음으로 조사했다는 의미가 있다. 또한 개 식용 관련 국민의 인식을 알아보기 위한 설문조사를 실시하였다.   한편 갈등관리 전문기관을 통해 참여 위원과 관련 업계 종사자 등에 대한 심층면접을 실시하여 종식시기, 지원방안 등 그들의 관심 사항과 대립되는 입장을 정확히 진단하여 갈등을 해결하기 위해 노력하였다.     아울러 대만의 개 식용 종식 관련 현지 전문가와 국제 화상회의를 통해 ‘대만의 종식 사례’를 파악하는 등 공감의 폭을 넓혔으며, 이외에도 ‘개 식용 관련 위생적 문제점’, ‘현행법 체계’ 등에 대한 전문가 발표와 논의를 통해 개 식용과 관련한 현 상황을 진단하고 이해를 도모하였다.   참고로 정부는 2021년 11월 25일 국무총리 주재로 ‘국정현안점검조정회의’를 개최하여 '개 식용 문제에 대한 사회적 논의 추진 방향'을 논의하였으며, 그 결과 사회적 논의기구를 관련 동물보호단체, 육견업계, 전문가, 정부 인사 등 21명으로 구성하여 개 식용 문제를 논의하기로 한 바 있다.   정광호 위원장은 "위원회 운영의 기본 원칙인 합의 정신을 실현하기 위해 육견업계와 동물보호단체 등의 입장을 발표할 수 있는 기회를 부여하는 등 충분한 시간을 가지고 논의하는 방식으로 위원회를 운영했으며, 개 식용 종식이 시대적 흐름이라는 인식을 같이하는 성과를 거두었다”라고 강조하면서, "앞으로 그동안 쌓은 위원 간 신뢰와 공감대를 바탕으로 대타협을 도출하기 위해 최선을 다하겠다”라고 밝혔다.

Following the acquisition of the US company Cypress Semiconductor Corporation in April 2020, Infineon is now a global top 10 semiconductor company. We play a key role in shaping a better future – with microelectronics that link the real and the digital world. Our semiconductors enable efficient energy management, smart mobility, as well as secure, seamless communications in an increasingly connected world.

Mr. Lee Seung Soo  :   Infineon Korea respects Korean culture based on IFX head quarter’s structure. All employees are responsible for own work and we place a high value on exchanging necessary feedback each other. There’s a communication format called Leadership dialogue that not only the manager give feedback to the staffs, but the staffs also give feedback to their manager.  Infineon Korea is working on a campaign to call nickname instead of Korean title. We will continue this campaign to make more respectful and equal organizational culture.  Reporter   (Would you please outline the compensation & benefits (C&B) and HR (HRM) system of Infineon Technologies Korea?)

To finish the work in time, concentration and sensitivity are required. As such, working mothers have many strengths.  I think it’s important to experience various positions in one field if you have a goal to become a CEO.

Semiconductors account for 18% of the total cost of automotive electronics in 2000 but it’s 40% in 2020. The demand has increased significantly but only few foundry companies produce automotive semiconductor because it’s not profitable. It’s expected to continue overeating of automotive semiconductors for a while due to great interest of autonomous driving, electric vehicles and COVID pandemic. To counteract this problem, Infineon is doing the best to find good solutions for our customers. Reporter -  (Lastly, as a mentor who contributes so much to his community, please share with us any wisdom you may have for young job seekers) Mr. Lee Seung Soo:  We are living in an era of rapid change and COVID pandemic has made it harder to get a job. But the economic is slowly recovering and I believe there are opportunities even though it’s a difficult situation. It’s late if you start preparing when the good opportunity happened. You should decide the direction you want to go and make the qualifications and experience to match the job you want. If you decide a job you want to do, I’d like to recommend that you get information about the company you want to work as much as you can. It would be helpful that find the company’s management direction, changes in the industry and company’s outlook. Many companies want you if If you can clearly show your potential and your goals to contribute within the company.

  • [단독외신] EUSA Pharma Announces FDA Approval of Phase 3 Clinical Trial for Siltuximab in Hospitalized Patients With COVID-19 Associated Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome
    EUSA Pharma Announces FDA Approval of Phase 3 Clinical Trial for Siltuximab in Hospitalized Patients With COVID-19 Associated Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome EUSA Pharma, a global biopharmaceutical company focused on oncology and rare disease, today announced that the U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA) has approved a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled Phase 3 clinical trial protocol to evaluate the safety and efficacy of intravenous siltuximab plus standard of care in hospitalized patients with COVID-19 associated Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS). Siltuximab is a monoclonal antibody that directly neutralizes interleukin (IL)-6, an inflammatory cytokine detected at elevated levels in multiple inflammatory conditions, including COVID-19. It specifically binds to IL-6, thereby inactivating IL-6 induced signalling. Lee Morley, Chief Executive Officer, EUSA Pharma, said: “Since the start of the pandemic, a growing body of evidence has been published highlighting that COVID-19 associated ARDS may exhibit features of systemic hyperinflammation, resulting from excessive cytokine production - the so-called ‘cytokine storm’ - with IL-6 recognized as a key driver of this severe condition. Treatment approaches neutralizing IL-6 could therefore play a key role in mitigating further detrimental inflammation and progression to respiratory failure, which can be fatal. We thank the FDA for recognizing the importance of this clinical trial and the quick approval we received. Our plan now is to initiate the study as quickly as possible with the hope of seeing improved clinical outcomes in these critically ill patients.” To date, several independent clinical trials have begun globally to explore the safety and efficacy of siltuximab for the treatment of severe COVID-19 patients. Final results from the Papa Giovanni XXIII Hospital sponsored SISCO[1] (Siltuximab In Serious COVID-19) Study, an observational cohort control trial investigating siltuximab plus standard of care in COVID-19 patients with serious respiratory complications, are available via pre-print summary here (https://bit.ly/3ioH9vW).[2] However, the newly approved confirmatory clinical trial is vital because these findings require validation in a well-controlled randomized study and there is limited published data on the safety and efficacy of siltuximab in COVID-19. Siltuximab is also not yet FDA-approved for complications associated with COVID-19.
