Aspects of Women's Status in Korea and Cameroon

Choi, Eun-Jung,Rebecca Mbuh Research Institute of Asian Women Sookmyung Women' 2005 Asian Women Vol.20 No.-

The purpose of this study is to compare the status of women in Korea and Cameroon. Women's economic participation, educational opportunities, and political representation are used as indicators of women's status. Official statistics and literature review are utilized to conduct a comparative study of both countries. The major findings of this study indicate that women were under-represented in the areas of work, education, and politics in both countries(although women's status is getting better); few women rise to leadership positions in every area; women themselves and governments have made efforts to improve women's status from the individual level and social level; and Cameroon women's status is far behind that of Korean women in every area due to differences in economy, social conditions, and stages of industrialization of both countries. While Korea went through rapid industrialization, and is now into an information society, Cameroon is still in the process of moving from agricultural to industrialized society. We conclude by proposing suggestions and recommendations to the governments in both countries. We advocate the necessity of global studies of women's status for achieving gender equality and encourage the sharing of differing national experiences and coping strategies concorning gender discrimination against women.

영화 〈여판사〉를 통해 본 소문의 서사화 과정

최은영(Choi, Eun-Young) 인문콘텐츠학회 2021 인문콘텐츠 Vol.- No.60

이 논문은 우리나라 최초의 여판사 ‘황윤석’ 변사 사건이라는 실제 사건과 소문을 모티브로 한 영화 〈여판사〉(홍은원, 1962)의 서사화 과정을 고찰한 논문이다. 이 사건은 사건의 발생 단계에서는 자살이냐, 타살이냐 하는 죽음의 원인을 밝히는 것에 대중의 관심이 집중되어 있었다. 그러나 점차 사건의 원인을 여성의 사회 진출에서 발생하는 가정 내 갈등으로 추측하는 소문으로 서사가 재구성되었다. 소문을 전유한 영화 〈여판사〉는 가정 내 갈등을 드러내는 ‘폭로의 서사’가 아닌 ‘해결의 서사’로 구성되면서 서사의 비대칭성을 보인다. 소문과 영화의 가장 큰 변별점은 실제 사건과 소문에서는 죽은 ‘여판사’가 영화에서는 살아서 직접 사건을 해결함으로써 사건의 피해자가 아닌 해결자의 역할을 수행한다는 점이다. 이는 실제 사건에서 소거된 피해 당사자의 목소리를 법정이라는 공적인 장소에서 발화하게 하여 가족갈등을 법정이라는 공론화 장으로 끌어들인다. 이처럼 영화 <여판사>가 소문을 영화화하는 과정은 여판사의 죽음을 대중의 흥밋거리가 아닌, 사회문제로 인식하게 하면서 1960년대 여성의 사회진출에 대한 가능성과 불안을 반영하고 있다. 〈여판사〉의 서사화 과정은 실제 사건의 콘텐츠 기획 단계에서 실제 사건과 영화 서사의 유사성에 주목하기 보다는 그 과정에서 의미를 끌어내는 방식에 따라 서사를 재구성하는 것이 필요하다는 점을 보여준다. This study examines the narrative process of the movie 〈Woman Judge〉 (Hong Eun-won, 1962) based on the actual events and rumors of the Hwang Yun-seok, the first woman judge in Korea. The case was initially focused on revealing the cause of death, whether suicide or murder. However, as the incident gradually spread to rumors, the narrative was reconstructed as the cause of events such as conflict within the family arising from women"s advancement into society. The film, which is based on the narrative of rumors, consists of a narrative of solution, not a narrative that exposes conflict within the family. The biggest distinction between rumors and film is that in actual cases and rumors, the dead ‘woman judge’ lives and solves the case directly in the movie, thereby playing the role of a solver, not a victim of the case. This causes the voice of the victim, cleared from the actual event, to be utterance spoken in a public place called the court. The asymmetry of the narrative, which appeared in the film 〈Woman Judge〉 suggests a new type of woman legal person character as a solver, not a victim.

Choi,Eun Jeong,Park,Myonghwa 한국노인간호학회 2021 노인간호학회지 Vol.23 No.3

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to identify interprofessional competencies for the integrated community care of older people. Methods: This study used a methodological approach, and the specific process aimed to identify the components of interprofessional competencies for integrated community care using a scoping review and validating the identified competencies with the Delphi method. The scoping review first identified relevant studies through the following electronic databases: PubMed, CINAHL, Embase, and the Cochrane Library. We then selected studies that met the inclusion criteria and analyzed their results to identify a draft version of the competencies. Expert panels validated the list of competencies through two rounds of the Delphi survey. Results: The two rounds of the Delphi survey revealed a consensus. Finally, we developed an interprofessional competency for integrated community care comprising 19 interprofessional core competencies, 20 integrated core care competencies for community care administrators, 13 integrated core care competencies for care coordinators, 13 integrated core care competencies for local service providers, and 12 integrated core care competencies for community health leaders. Conclusion: This study can help inform job descriptions, evaluate relevant professionals’ performances, and develop a competency-based curriculum for better practice.

청소년의 자아존중감과 정신건강에 관한 연구

최은영,최인령 韓國學校保健學會 2002 韓國學校保健學會誌 Vol.15 No.1

The purpose of this study was to find out the relationship between self-esteem and mental health in Middle school students, and provided basic data to develop a nursing program for the prevention of mental disease and the promotion of mental health in adolescence. Subjects were 153 students in the third year of three middle schools located in K city. Instruments used in this study were the self-esteem questionnaire developed by Choi, B. K. & jun, G. Y.(1993) and the simplified SCL-90 developed by Lee, H. K.(1986) for measuring mental health. Data were analyzed by Cronbach's alpha, descriptive statistics, t-test, ANOVA, Pearson's correlation coefficient by using SPSS/PC+ program. It was found that the mean score of the self-esteem was 3.20. The score of self-esteem in family was high and the score of self-esteem in school was low. The mean score of mental health was 1.94. The scores of depression, obsessive-compulsive and interpersonal sensitivity were high, the scores of phobic anxiety and somatization were low. There were significant differences among religions (F=2.709, p= .032), and between personalities (t=-2.285, p= .024) with respect to self esteem. There were no significant differences between general characteristics variables and mental health. However there was significant negative correlation between the mean self-esteem score and the mean mental health score (r=-.431, p= .000). In conclusion, mental health is strongly related to self-esteem. If and adolescent who suffers from mental health is not received proper treatment, his or her mental health prohibits him from managing sound social life even after grown-up. Thus, nursing intervention in adolescence should be developed to enhance the self-esteem of adolescence and to help him raise sound mind.

Rheology of Decamethylceclopentasiloxane (cyclomethicone) W/O Emulsion System

Choi, Min-Hyung,Jeong, So-Ra,Nam, Sang-In,Shim, Sang-Eun,Chang, Yoon-Ho The Polymer Society of Korea 2009 Macromolecular Research Vol.17 No.12

A highly dispersed W/O emulsion of silicone oil (cyclomethicone)/water system was prepared with a nonionic surfactant. The surface and interfacial tension between the oil and water were characterized in terms of the droplet size distribution and viscosity change of the emulsion. When the dispersed phase concentration was relatively high, the viscosity of the emulsion was rapidly increased and the droplet size of the emulsion was decreased. The rheological behavior of the emulsion system showed non-Newtonian and shear thinning phenomena depending upon the content of the dispersed phase. The droplet size of the emulsion was decreased with increasing surfactant content and water concentration. The relative viscosity of the emulsion was better predicted with the Choi-Schowalter model than with the Taylor model. The value of the complex modulus increased with increasing surfactant concentration. The linear viscoelastic region was expanded with a dispersed phase concentration. According to the change in the viscosity, the behavior was classified into three distinct regions: [I] linear viscoelastic, [II] partially viscoelastic, and [III] viscous. The creep/recovery behaviors in each region were characterized.

(±)-Camphor가 ICR 마우스 수컷의 간 cytochrome P450 효소 활성에 미치는 영향

오은경,박형건,배기현,최옥진,최은경,최창근,한진희,정태천 한국환경독성학회 2002 환경독성보건학회지 Vol.17 No.4

Effects of (±)-camphor on liver cytochrome P450 enzymes were investigated in male ICR mice. Mice were treated intraperitoneally with 0, 200, 400 and 800 mg/kg of (±) -camphor in corn oil for 3 consecutive days. Twenty four hr after the final treatment, the animals were subjected to necropsy. The activities of serum aspartate aminotransferase and serum alanine aminotransferase were slightly changed by the treatment with (±)-camphor at the doses used. Administration o(±)-camphor to mice significantly induced the hepatic activities of pentoxyresorufin O-depentylase and benzyloxyresorufin O-debenzylase and weakly induced ethoxyresorufin O-deethylase in dose-dependent manners. The present results suggested that (±)-camphor might act as a relatively specific inducer of hepatic cytochrome P450 213 in male ICR mice.

Cho, Eun-Sang,Choi, Kun-Ho,Kim, Min-Gyu,Lim, Hoi-Jeong,Yoon, Suk-Ja,,Kang, Byung-Cheol 대한구강악안면방사선학회 2005 Imaging Science in Dentistry Vol.35 No.4

Purpose : This study was aimed to compare skin entrance dose of digital radiography with that of film radiography and to show the dose reduction achievement with digital systems at 11 dental schools in Korea. Materials and Methods : Forty six intraoral radiographic systems in 11 dental schools were included in this study. Digital sensors were used in 33 systems and film was used in 13 systems. Researchers and the volunteer visited 11 dental schools in Korea. Researchers asked the radiologic technician (s) at each school to set the exposure parameters and aiming the x-ray tube for the periapical view of the mandibular molar of the volunteer. The skin entrance doses were measured at the same exposure parameters and distance by the technician for each system with a dosimeter (Multi-O-Meter : Unfors instruments, Billdal, Sweden). Results : The median dose was 491.2 μGy for digital radiography and 1,205.0 μGy for film radiography. The skin entrance dose digital radiography was significantly lower than that of film radiography (p<0.05). Conclusion : Fifty-nine percent skin entrance dose reduction with digital periapical radiography was achieved over the film radiography in Korean dental schools.
