Economic Valuation of Unpaid Work in Korea

Kwon, Tae Hee Research Institute of Asian Women Sookmyung Women' 2005 Asian Women Vol.21 No.-

The measurement of economic value on the unpaid work, corresponding to a household's non-market production, has been performed since 1920's through numerous studies. The field of studies is recently facing newfound attention and necessity to find a more appropriate method for measuring unpaid work. As the United Nation's recommendation for "A New System of National Accounts" redirected related studies to develop a satellite account that measures estimated value of unpaid work as a supplementary index to the household sector of the national accounts since the 1990s. In Korea, unpaid work by women was not measured because the Time Use Survey Data was not available. The purpose of this study is to estimate the value of the productive unpaid work-like housework, food preparation, household maintenance, cleaning, construction and repairs, shopping and services, household management, child care, adult care and volunteer services-performed by overall women in Korea based on the Time Use Survey Data of 1999 published at the National Statistics Office (NSO). The measurement methods used are individual function replacement cost method; generalist replacement cost method, gross opportunity cost method; net opportunity cost method, and integrated cost method. The results of this study show that the total share of women's unpaid work in the "Enlarged GDP" ranges between 21.8 and 27.7%, but the men's share ranges between 4.9 and 5.4%. This work identifies key components of a household's production in the Korean economy, and the estimation of non-market production facilitates comparative analysis with the relevant data of developed countries, and reexamines the contribution to the nation's economic growth made by women's unpaid work.

김인태,고병희,송일병,Kim, In Tae,Ko, Byung-Hee,Song, Il-Byeong 사상체질의학회 1996 사상체질의학회지 Vol.8 No.2

융과 동무(東武) 이제마(李濟馬)의 지인론(知人論)과 인간의 유형 연구의 비교를 통해 다음과 같은 결론을 얻을 수 있었다. 1. 융의 인간의 마음의 구조를 탐구한 작업이나 이제마(李濟馬)의 지인론(知人論)은 각각의 유형론(類型論)의 기본개념 설정에 중요 한 의미가 있다. 이들은 인간의 심성의 분석을 통하여 자신만의 독특한 유형론(類型論)을 개발해내었다. 2. 인식의 체계로서는 융은 의식, 개인적 무의식, 집단적 무의식, 자기의 사상론적(四象論的) 구조(構造)로, 이제마(李齊馬)는 사심신물(事心身物)의 사상론적(四象論的) 구조(構造)로서 인간을 설명하려 하였다. 그리고 유형론으로는 융은 사고형 감정형 감각형 직관형의 4개로, 이제마는 태양인(太陽人) 소양인(少陽人) 태음인(太陰人) 소음인(少陰人)의 4개로 나누었다. 공통적으로 사상론적(四象論的) 구조(構造)라는 점에 양자간의 유사성이 있다. 3. 융은 의식과 무의식을 탐구하였고 이제마(李濟馬)는 인의예지(仁義禮智)인 성(性)과 비박탐뢰(鄙薄貪賴)의 심욕(心慾)을 탐구하였는데 양자간에는 밀접한 관련이 있다고 사료된다. 또, 의식, 무의식과 군자의필(君子之心), 소인지필(小人之必)의 관련도 적용시킬 수 있다고 사료된다. 4. 이제마(李濟馬)의 대동(大同), 각립(各立), 행기지(行其知), 행기행(行其行)과 호선(好善), 악악(惡惡), 사심(邪心), 태행(怠行) 그리고 장부(臟腑)의 대소관계(大小關係)등은 융이 말한 제1기능(우월기능), 제2기능, 제3기능, 제4기능(열등기능)의 구분과 연관지어 생각해 볼 수 있다고 사료된다. 5. 융의 사고형 감정형 감각형 직관형의 4분류와 이제마(李濟馬)의 태양인(太陽人) 소양인(少陽人) 태음인(太陰人) 소음인(少陰人)과의 관계는 앞으로 많은 연구가 필요한 부분이라 생각된다. As considering a comparison study of the structure of mind and psychologic type of C.G Jung to Ji-In-Lon and Sa-Sang constituition of Lee Je Ma, I've got the following conclusion. 1. The study of the structure of mind of Jung and Ji-In-Lon of Lee Je ma have a important meaning to each theory of type of men. They developed their own peculiar theory of type men by the analysis of the mind of men. 2. Jung explained the organization of recognition by four phase theorical structure; consciousness, personal unconsciousness, collective unconsciousness, self. Lee Je Ma explained the organization of recognition by four phase theorical structure;Sa, Sim, Sin, Mul. And theory of type of men, Jung established four type; Tae-Yang-In, Tae-Um-In, So-Yang-In, So-Um-In, They all established the four phase structure, which have things in common. 3. Jung studied the consciousness and unconsciousness and Lee Je Ma studied the Sung-In, Eui, Ye, Ji, and Sim-Yock-Bi, Bak, Tam, Na. I think they have a close relationship. And I think there is relationship between consciousness, unconsciousness to Gun-Ja-Ji-Sim, So-In-Ji-Sim. 4. I think there is thought of relationship between Lee Je Ma's Dae-Dong, Gak-lip, Hang-gi-ji, Hang-gi-hang and Ho-sun, Oh-ak, Sa-sim, Tae-hang and relationship of internal organ's size to Jung's the first function, second function, third function, fourth function. 5. I think the relationship between the type of Jung;thinking type, feeling, type, sensation type, intuition type to the type of Lee Je Ma; Tae-Yang-In, Tae-Um-In, So-Yang-In, So-Yang-In, So-Um-In needs more study.

Peroxiredoxin II (Prdx II; a typical 2‐Cys Prdx) has been originally isolated from erythrocytes, and its structure and peroxidase activity have been adequately studied. Mice absent to Prdx II proteins had heinz bodies in their peripheral blood, and morphologically abnormal cells were detected in the dense red blood cell (RBC) fractions, which contained markedly higher levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS). In this study, a labeling experiment with the thiol‐modifying reagent biotinylated iodoacetamide (BIAM) in Prdx I‒/‒ mice revealed that a variety of RBC proteins were highly oxidized. To identify oxidation‐sensitive proteins in Prdx II‒/‒ mice, we performed RBC comparative proteome analysis in membrane and cytosolic fractions by nano‐UPLC‐MSE shotgun proteomics. We found oxidation‐sensitive 54 proteins from 61 peptides containing cysteine oxidation, and analyzed comparative expression pattern in healthy RBCs of Prdx II+/+ mice, healthy RBCs of Prdx II‒/‒ mice, and abnormal RBCs of Prdx II‒/‒ mice. These proteins belonged to cellular functions related with RBC lifespan maintain, such as cytoskeleton, stress‐induced proteins, metabolic enzymes, signal transduction, and transporters. Furthermore, protein networks among identified oxidation sensitive proteins were analyzed to associate with various diseases. Consequently, we expected that RBC proteome may provide clues to understand redox‐imbalanced diseases.

Hee Choul Ohrr¹,Tae-Yong Son²¹Department of Preventive Medicine, Yonsei University College of Medicine, Seoul and ²Department of Medical Administration, Yuhan College, Buchun,Korea potential for integrated Medical School and Orental Medical School Currculum. Proceedings of International Symposium on East-West Medicine, Seoul. 82-89,1999.-This study was carried out to compare the educational contents between the western medical shcools and the oriental medical schools in Korea. The numbers of lectures, their credits, lecturing hours per week and the numbers of specific objectives were analyzed between the western and oriental medical schools. Formally published books from both western and oriental medical association, that is, the books of Specific Behavioral Objectives (SBOs)of both the western medical and the oriental medical parts are major source of data.Form numbers of lectures and their contents, we used the brochures on the lectures guidebooks. Three major western medical schools and the three major oriental medical schools, six schools in total were selected for comparison of education contents. The results are as Follows; 1 The oriental medical schools teach most lectures of western medical schools though the contents are a little different. 2.The western medical schools teach nothing about oriental medicine except only one school that teaches a smiple introductory course 3. The oriental medical schools teach as much as 43.4% of the SBOs of western Os of westrn medical school in number.Whereas the westerm medical schools theach 32.6% of the SBOs of oriental medical schools in number. 4.It is estimated that oriental medical schools can cover all the SBOs of western medical schools if they give lectures for one and a half year more. It is also estimated that western medical schools can cover all the SBOs of oriental medical school if they give lectures for two years more. It is highly recommendable that both western and oriental medical schools share lectures and give opportunity to take the both medical license examination if medical school students complete the requirement of the other medical part lectures. This could be a fundamental step to incorporate both the western and the oriental medicine in the future in Korea.

Tae‐Hoon Lee,Hee‐Young Yang,Hoon‐In Choi,Ung Yang,Kyoung‐Jin Chung,Lina Ren 한국동물생명공학회(구 한국동물번식학회) 2011 발생공학 국제심포지엄 및 학술대회 Vol.2011 No.1

(‐)‐Epigallocatechin 3‐gallate (EGCG) is a potent antioxidant polyphenol in green tea that acts as an anticancer agent via both direct and indirect pathways. Although the relationship between EGCG’s anticancer effects and its antioxidant activity is not fully understood, it is known that EGCG stimulates production of reactive oxygen species (ROS), which induce oxidative stress leading to cell death. In IM9 multiple myeloma cells, EGCG acted in a dose‐ and time‐dependent manner to induce apoptotic cell death. Among the antioxidant enzymes expressed in IM9 cells, levels of peroxiredoxin (Prdx) V were selectively and significantly reduced by EGCG. Moreover, the ROS scavenger NAC completely inhibited EGCG‐induced apoptosis and PrdxV reduction, while overexpression of PrdxV, but not a PrdxVC48S mutant, protected IM9 cells from EGCG‐induced apoptosis. EGCG‐induced reductions in cell viability and PrdxV levels were also observed in primary CD138+ multiple myeloma cells from patients. These results suggest that PrdxV is a key target via which EGCG mediates its anticancer effects.

Red blood cells (RBCs) have been studied as models for infectious diseases, various symptoms of anemia, hemolysis, and erythrocyte aging. Although do not directly affect RBCs, other diseases may cause RBC physiological alterations that could be advanced for diagnostic aim or to convince better understanding of a certain pathological pattern. In this study, comparative RBC proteomics between healthy and abnormal conditions involve to promote aging related‐biomarker discovery. Peroxiredoxin II (Prdx II; a typical 2‐Cys Prdx) has been originally isolated from erythrocytes, and its structure and peroxidase activity have been adequately studied. Mice absent to Prdx II proteins had heinz bodies in their peripheral blood, and morphologically aged cells were detected in the dense RBC fractions, which contained markedly higher levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS). In addition, a labeling experiment with the thiol‐modifying reagent biotinylated iodoacetamide (BIAM) in Prdx II‒/‒ mice revealed that a variety of RBC proteins were highly oxidized. To identify oxidation‐sensitive proteins in Prdx II‒/‒ mice, we performed RBC comparative proteome analysis by nano‐UPLC‐MSE shotgun proteomics with relative protein quantitative analysis. We found oxidation‐sensitive 18 membrane and 41 cytosol proteins from 32 and 85 peptides containing cysteine oxidation, and analyzed comparative expression pattern in healthy RBCs of Prdx II+/+ mice (W1), healthy RBCs of Prdx II‒/‒ mice (K1), and abnormal RBCs of Prdx II‒/‒ mice (K2). These proteins belonged to cellular functions related with RBC lifespan maintain, such as cytoskeleton, stress‐induced proteins, amino acid/nucleic acid metabolic enzymes, signal transduction, and molecular transporters. Furthermore, protein networks among identified oxidation sensitive proteins were analyzed to associate with aging consequence. Consequently, we expected that RBC proteome may provide clues to understand redox‐imbalanced diseases.

Tae‑Sik Kong,Hee‑Dong Kim,Hung‑Sok Park,Soo‑Hoh Lee,Soon‑Yong Kim,Pil‑Bum Joung,Jin‑Yeub Park 대한전기학회 2020 Journal of Electrical Engineering & Technology Vol.15 No.3

Voltage transformers (VTs) must be highly reliable as they are essential components of the electric power industry. VT failures can cause a signifcant impact for important facilities such as nuclear power plants. In fact, VTs which passed the international standard, were damaged and sometimes resulted in the shutdown of the nuclear power plants. In order to improve the reliability, VTs with various iron core was studied. The electromagnetic feld simulation, a saturation characteristics test, and an overvoltage breakdown test were conducted. The result shows that the magnetic fux density signifcantly afects the reliability of VTs. To increase the reliability of VTs, it is required to reduce the magnetic fux density by increasing the knee-point and voltage factor. Owing to limited installation space, increasing the size of the iron core is difcult. Instead, VT by decreasing the thickness of the conductor and increasing the number of turns, it was possible to reduce the magnetic fux density without the size change. Therefore, improved VTs were obtained by decreasing the thickness of the conductor and increasing the number of turns, and the improved reliability was verifed through a comparison test with existing VTs. The fabricated VTs shows a signifcantly higher saturation voltage and breakdown time than existing VTs. Thus, by proposed VTs can contribute the stable operation of the nuclear power plant and improve the manufacturer’s quality.

Tae‐Hoon Lee,Hee‐Young Yang,Joseph Kwon,Hoon‐In Choi,Lina Ren,Ung Yang,Byung‐Ju Park,Zae Young Ryoo 한국동물생명공학회(구 한국동물번식학회) 2011 발생공학 국제심포지엄 및 학술대회 Vol.2011 No.1

Peroxiredoxin V, an atypical thioredoxin peroxidase, is widely expressed in mammalian tissues. In addition, Prdx V is localized in mitochondria, peroxisome, cytosol, and nucleus. Prdx V has been reported to protect a wide range of cellular environments as antioxidant enzyme, and its dysfunctions may be implicated in several diseases, such as cancer, inflammation, and neurodegenerative disease. Identification and relative quantification of proteins affected by Prdx V may help identify novel signaling mechanisms that are important for oxidative stress response. However, the role of Prdx V in the modulation of hypoxia‐related cellular response is not studied yet. In order to examine the function of endogenous Prdx V in hypoxic condition in vivo, we generated a transgenic mouse model with Prdx V siRNA expression controlled by U6 promoter. Of many tissues, the knockdown of Prdx V expression was displayed in kidney, lung, and liver, but not spleen and skin. We conducted on the basis of nano‐UPLC‐MSE proteomic study to identify the Prdx V‐affected protein networks in hypoxic kidneys. In this study, we identified protein networks associated with oxidative stress, fatty acid metabolism, and mitochondrial dysfunction. Our results indicated that Prdx V affected to regulation of kidney homeostasis under hypoxia stress.

김태우,고동희,김민기,유승원,류향우,한정희,정순희 大韓産業醫學會 2009 대한직업환경의학회지 Vol.21 No.2

배경: 주물공장 근로자에서 발생한 석면폐증의 작업 관련성을 평가하고 그 증례를 보고하고자 한다. 증례: 30년간 주물공장에서 근무한 환자로 인후통, 기침, 노란 가래가 있어 검사한 결과 결핵이 의심되어 치료 하였으며, 치료 중 석면폐증으로 진단되었다. 작업 관련성 평가를 위해 실시한 폐 조직의 조직학적 검사에서 1 cm^(2)당 3개의 석면소체가 발견되었고, 투과전자현미경으로 분석한 석면 함유량은 23.26x10^(6) fibers/g이었다. 결론: 작업환경조사, 폐 조직의 석면 분석 등을 통해 작업 관련성이 높다고 판단하였다. Background: Foundry workers are known to be exposed to silica and have an increased risk of Silicosis. There are also reports that state these foundry workers were associated with asbestos-related change in the X-ray results of the lungs. This report discusses a case of localized asbestosis developed in a foundry worker who worked in 12 Korean foundries. Case report: A 49-year-o1d man who worked at molding and melting for 30 years, Presented with sore throat, cough and yellow sputum for 1 month. From physical and clinical examination, Pulmonary tuberculosis was highly suspicious; therefore, he was medicated for 6 months. After tuberculosis medication, the radiological finding was reactivation of tuberculosis, and an asbestos body was detected at a trans-bronchial lung biopsy. During an operation, operators found multiple palpable masses and bullae 10calized in the right upper lobe (RUL) and performed right upper lobectomy and right middle lobe wedge resection. Using hematoxylin-eosin stain and iron stain, we could detect asbestos bodies by light microscopy. We analyzed the asbestos fiber burden in dry lung tissue by transmission electron microscopy with energy dispersive X-ray spectrometer (TEM-EDX). The fiber type was chrysotile and the fiber burden was 23.26 x 10^(6) fiber/g dry lung. Discussion: This case study of a foundry worker with localized asbestosis is uncommon in Korea. We found an occupational relationship between the foundry worker and localized asbestosis through various investigative techniques such as measurements taken at his working environment, clinical, radiological and pathological examination of the foundry worker and mineralogical examination of the asbestos fiber.
