Oh, Mira. 1998. An Optimal Analysis of Korean Copula. Studies in Phonetics, Phonology and Morphology 4, 175-187. The purpose of this paper is to demonstrate that Optimality Theory provides a better account for the various alternations exhibited by Korean copula than a sequence of separate phonological rules. The OT analysis crucially relies on the morphological and prosodic structure of Korean copula. This paper argues that Korean copula is a clitic morphologically and an affixal clitic prosodically.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to explore the experience of self-awareness of nursing students through a short-term overseas language study. Methods: Study subjects were 10 nursing students, and collected data were analyzed with open coding, axial coding, selective coding, and process analysis based on Strauss and Corbin's grounded theory (1998). Results: In total, 23 sub-categories and 12 categories were generated. The 12 categories included "Longing for a bigger world", "Don't want to be intimidated", "Interest in English", "Tension about local classes", "Feeling of pushing the limit", "Getting along with natives", “Making Korean American University students a role model", "Self-observe confronting unfamiliarity", "Self-encourage about enduring hardships", "Self-expansion for a better self", "Recognize self-transformation", "Focusing on the reality". Nursing students' self-awareness experience through a short-term overseas language study was a process of solving the phenomenon of 'feeling of pushing the limit', and a derived core category was 'surpass the feeling of pushing the limit and take a step forward'. Conclusion: Study participants experienced self-awareness. These results will not only expand our understanding about self-awareness of nursing students and educators but will also provide information for developing a short-term overseas study program.

종가의 생활문화에서 탐색한 자녀 인성교육 프로그램 도출 연구 - 안동 一圓 종가를 중심으로 -

김미라 ( Kim¸ Mi-ra ) 동양철학연구회 2021 東洋哲學硏究 Vol.107 No.-

본 연구에서는 오늘날 우리 사회 전반에 만연하고 있는 사회적 병리 현상의 근본 원인을 아동기 인성교육의 상실로 보고, 전통 생활문화를 보존·계승하고 있는 종가에서의 올바른 자녀교육 방법론을 통해 그 해결방안을 모색해 보기 위해 작성되었다. 500여 년 동안 자신을 통해서 후손에게 이어진다는 선조들의 정신과 문화를 답습, 계승하고 현재까지도 고택을 보존하여 지켜온 한국 명문종가의 생활문화를 탐색한 후, 그들의 자녀교육 방법 및 내용 등을 심도 있게 살펴보았다. 먼저, 유교 경전 속에서의 인성과 인성교육을 고찰하면서 자녀 성장 과정에 따른 인성교육 내용과 방법을 살펴보았으며 다음으로는 안동 종가 일원 중 세곳인 대산 이상정 종가, 수정재 류정문 종가, 학봉 김성일 종가의 생활문화에서 탐색한 자녀 인성교육에 관해 조사해 보았다. 세 곳 종가의 자녀교육 원리로는 밥상머리교육 원리, 예절교육 원리, 가훈교육 원리, 모방학습교육 원리, 독서교육 원리 등 총 다섯 가지였다. 이를 바탕으로 21세기형 온고지신 종가의 생활문화 속 자녀 인성교육 프로그램을 도출하였다. 이러한 종가의 자녀교육이 현대 가정교육 현장에서 새롭게 재적용하고 재활용할 수 있음을 확인할 수 있었다. 이와 같은 시도는 향후 문명의 이기에 퇴색되어 가는 우리 자녀들에게 온기 있고 절도 있는 종가의 가정교육을 접목하여 인간만이 갖출 수 있는 인성교육프로그램을 개발하는데 조금이나마 기여할 수 있으리라 판단한다. 또한 전국의 명문종가 자녀교육법을 살펴보고 이를 바탕으로 오늘날 적용 가능한 자녀 인성교육프로그램 개발도 가능하리라 기대해 본다. This author deems that pathological phenomena existing all around our society today have basically resulted from the loss of character education in childhood. This study is aimed to seek ways to solve the problems with the righteous methodology of early childhood education applied by head family that has preserved and transmitted traditional living culture. Believing that they have handed down ancestors’ mind and culture to descendants for the last 500 or so years, they have followed and succeeded to the values preserving and protecting their old house. This researcher has explored the living culture of Korea’s prestigious head family and examined their methods and contents of early childhood education profoundly. First of all, considering the character and character education found in Confucian scriptures, this research examined the contents and methods of character education according to the process of child growth. Second, this author investigated character education for children explored in the living culture of three head families out of Andong head families: Daesan Lee Sang-jeong head family, Sujeongjae Ryu Jeong-mun head family, and Hakbong Kim Seong-il head family. Third, within the living culture of the 21st-century Ongojisin (溫故知新; review the old and learn the new) head families, this author drew character education programs for children. Consequently, this researcher has found that those head families’ early childhood education can be reapplied and reused newly in the field of contemporary family education.

The Relationship of Clinical Symptoms with Social Cognition in Children Diagnosed with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, Specific Learning Disorder or Autism Spectrum Disorder

Objective One of the areas of social cognition is Theory of Mind (ToM) is defined as the capacity to interpret, infer and explain mental states underlying the behavior of others. When social cognition studies on neurodevelopmental disorders are examined, it can be seen that this skill has not been studied sufficiently in children with Specific Learning Disorder (SLD). Methods In this study, social cognition skills in children diagnosed with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), SLD or Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) evaluated before puberty and compared with controls. To evaluate the ToM skills, the first and secondorder false belief tasks, the Hinting Task, the Faux Pas Test and the Reading the Mind in the Eyes Task were used. Results We found that children with neurodevelopmental disorders as ADHD, ASD, and SLD had ToM deficits independent of intelligence and language development. There was a significant correlation between social cognition deficits and problems experienced in many areas such as social communication and interaction, attention, behavior, and learning. Conclusion Social cognition is an important area of impairment in SLD and there is a strong relationship between clinical symptoms and impaired functionality.

A phonetic duration-based analysis of vowel epenthesis: English postvocalic word-final stops

Mira Oh(오미라),Hyung-Sun Kim(김형선) 한국음운론학회 2006 음성·음운·형태론 연구 Vol.12 No.2

  Kang (2003) argues that vowel epenthesis results from enhancement of perceptual similarity based on phonetic, phonological and morphophonemic constraints in Korean. She argues that vowel epenthesis reflects the degree of release, voicing, and the place of articulation of stops. On the other hand, Broselow and Park’s (1995) mora-based analysis is based on vowel tenseness. They attribute vowel epenthesis to a way to preserve one of the two morae of a tense vowel. In this paper, we argue against these previous analyses for vowel epenthesis.<BR>  We will propose the phonetic duration-based analysis for vowel epenthesis in English loanword adaptation in Korean. Three claims will be made in this paper. Firstly, vowel epenthesis occurs after a postvocalic word-final stop if the pre-final vowel is long. Secondly, vowel length includes both phonemic and subphonemic duration. Thirdly, the phonetic duration-based analysis argues for the phonetic approach (Steriade 2001; Silverman 1992) as opposed to the phonological approach(Lacharit? and Paradis 2002, 2005) in loan adaptation.

PSME4 determines mesenchymal stem cell fate towards cardiac commitment through YAP1 degradation

Mira Kim,Yong Sook Kim,Youngkeun Ahn,Gwang Hyeon Eom,Somy Yoon The Korean Society of Pharmacology 2023 The Korean Journal of Physiology & Pharmacology Vol.27 No.4

The regeneration of myocardium following acute circulatory events remains a challenge, despite numerous efforts. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) present a promising cell therapy option, but their differentiation into cardiomyocytes is a time-consuming process. Although it has been demonstrated that PSME4 degrades acetyl-YAP1, the role of PSME4 in the cardiac commitment of MSCs has not been fully elucidated. Here we reported the novel role of PSME4 in MSCs cardiac commitment. It was found that overnight treatment with apicidin in primary-cultured mouse MSCs led to rapid cardiac commitment, while MSCs from PSME4 knock-out mice did not undergo this process. Cardiac commitment was also observed using lentivirus-mediated PSME4 knockdown in immortalized human MSCs. Immunofluorescence and Western blot experiments revealed that YAP1 persisted in the nucleus of PSME4 knockdown cells even after apicidin treatment. To investigate the importance of YAP1 removal, MSCs were treated with shYAP1 and apicidin simultaneously. This combined treatment resulted in rapid YAP1 elimination and accelerated cardiac commitment. However, overexpression of acetylation-resistant YAP1 in apicidin-treated MSCs impeded cardiac commitment. In addition to apicidin, the universal effect of histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibition on cardiac commitment was confirmed using tubastatin A and HDAC6 siRNA. Collectively, this study demonstrates that PSME4 is crucial for promoting the cardiac commitment of MSCs. HDAC inhibition acetylates YAP1 and facilitates its translocation to the nucleus, where it is removed by PSME4, promoting cardiac commitment. The failure of YAP1 to translocate or be eliminated from the nucleus results in the MSCs' inability to undergo cardiac commitment.

A Study on the DEMENTIA Awareness and the Dementia Needs in a District

Mira Sung,Soyoung Park,Yujin Suh J-INSTITUTE 2020 Kinesiology Vol.5 No.2

Purpose: Since the level of positive perception of dementia in Korean society is still very insufficient, it is diffi-cult to detect diseases early and actively intervene in treatments. Supporting this situation, many studies have shown that there is a lack of basic knowledge and a lack of proper perception of dementia. This study is to inves-tigate basic data for presenting the direction of establishing and developing the dementia policy in the future by seeking the effective operational plan for a dementia care center through surveying the dementia awareness and needs in a region. Method: This study is a cross sectional study. This study targeted 498 people who are dwelling in G city of Gyeonggi Province. The research period is from May 1, 2018 to September 15, 2018. The data were analyzed by SPSS Win. 21.0 program. Results: The dementia perception questions showed a significant difference according to participants’ age, education level, interest degree, dementia knowledge level, and information contact appearance. As a result of surveying the demand for the dementia-related policy that is most necessary for research participants, a support for medical expenses had the highest need. Conclusion: A large-scale research has rarely been done at home so far targeting city citizens in a region excluding Seoul Metropolis. Hence, this study will be able to be applied to useful basic data afterward for the establishment of a domestic dementia policy and for a dementia-related research. Especially, a change in the perception on dementia and in the use of a care service will become a very important source data.
