A Discourse Analysis of Attempts to Strengthen Global Image through the 2011 World Athletics Championships

Ethan, Yorgason(이슨 요거슨) 한국지역지리학회 2013 한국지역지리학회지 Vol.19 No.3

대구는 2011년에 세계육상선수권대회(IAAF World Championships)를 개최하였다. 조직 위원회는 이 대회를 통해서 대구에 대한 세계적인 인지도를 강화하고, 세계적인 스케일에서 관광과 투자를 촉진함으로써 최근 대구의 경기 침체를 극복하고자 하였다. 한국에 거주하는 외국인의 관점에서 쓰여진 본 논문은 문화지리 분석 방법을 혼합하여 세계육상선수권대회로 인해 파급된 관광과 투자의 영향을 평가하였다. 본 논문은 대규모 이벤트를 활용한 장소의 생산을 고찰하기 위해 세 단계의 '영토화(territorialisation)' 접근법를 적용하였으며, 특히 세계육상선수권대회가 개최되기 전과 개최되는 동안의 재현 활동(representational efforts)을 살펴보았다. 이 과정에서 웹사이트, 안내책자 등과 같은 대회 관련 홍보물이 주로 사용되었으며, 관광객을 대상으로 한 인터뷰를 통해 연구 결과를 보충하였다. 이와 관련한 문헌 자료, 대구의 역사, 그리고 Daegu 2011의 추진 배경을 검토한 결과, 본 논문은 세 가지 항목으로 도출되었다. 첫째, 비판 담론 분석(critical discourse analysis)을 통해 대회와 관련된 홍보 비디오를 분석한 결과 대구시는 세계 관 광 시장에서 차지하는 대구의 지위에 대하여 불확신한 것으로 나타났다. 둘째, 관광지로서 대구의 위상에 대한 대구시 자체의 불확신은 홍보 비디오 이 외의 다른 홍보물 분석에서도 여전히 나타났다. 이런 홍보물들은 대구시의 이미지와 미래를 향한 염원에 부담을 초래하였다. 셋째, 이런 논의를 확장시킨 결과 홍보물에서 보여지는 대구의 관광 경관은 실제 보여지는 경관과 부분적으로 차이가 나타나고 있었다. 이것으로 볼 때, 세계선수권대회는 대구시에 긍정적인 효 과를 창출함과 동시에 앞으로 세계적인 도시로서의 위상을 확립하기 위해서 해결해야 할 과제를 남기고 있다. In 2011, Daegu hosted the International Association of Athletics Federation Championships and attempted to use this event strengthen its global profile. Organizers hoped Daegu 2011 would strengthen knowledge about Daegu internationally and help the city overcome recent economic stagnation by bolstering tourism and investment on the global scale. Written from the perspective of a foreigner living in Korea, this interpretive article uses mixed-method cultural geographic analysis to evaluate the momentum Daegu 2011 produced in these directions. The article draws on a tripartite “territorialisation” approach to mega-event tourism's production of space, focusing on representational efforts during the approach to the championships and the event itself. Promotional materials receive particular attention. Interviews with international tourists during 2011 strengthen conclusions drawn from analysis of promotional materials. After reviewing relevant conceptual literature, Daegu's history, and the background of Daegu 2011, the article devotes three subsections to analysis. The first uses critical discourse analysis of a key promotional video to argue that Daegu's self-promotions betrayed insecurity about the city's place within the global tourism market. A second analysis subbsection finds that additional promotional materials did not fully overcome that problem. These materials also produced an overload of Daegu images and aspirations. The third subsection further develops these arguments, pointing to a partial mismatch between images emphasized by promotions and experiences available in the tourism landscape. This subsection also argues that while Daegu 2011 undoubtedly produced positive effects for the city, key challenges remain if Daegu will be placed on the map of globally acknowledged cities.

Plastic surgery and specialty creep: an analysis of publication trends

Ethan L. Mackenzie,Jeffrey D. Larson,Samuel O. Poore 대한성형외과학회 2021 Archives of Plastic Surgery Vol.48 No.6

Background Many surgical specialties have had pioneering influences from plastic surgeons. However, many of these areas of practice have evolved to include surgeons from diverse training backgrounds. This raises the question as to whether the prominence of other specialties in clinical practice translates to greater research productivity in these areas. The objective of this paper is to investigate the publication volumes of plastic surgeons in selected areas of practice compared to surgeons from other disciplines. Methods PubMed was used to examine publication trends in areas associated with plastic surgery. Searches for the following topics were performed: head and neck reconstruction, hand surgery, breast reconstruction, ventral hernia repair, abdominal component separation, brachial plexus injury, craniofacial surgery, and aesthetic surgery. Affiliation tags were used to examine contributions from nine specialties. Web of Science was used to identify the top cited articles for the last 10 years in each area. Results Articles by non-plastic surgeons comprise the majority of the literature for all areas of practice studied except for breast reconstruction and aesthetic surgery. Despite this, plastic surgeons contributed the greatest number of top cited articles over the last 10 years for five of the areas of practice. Conclusions While plastic surgeons do not contribute the greatest proportion of articles published each year in several of the selected areas of practice, they do publish a larger number of articles that are the most cited. Plastic surgeons remain the dominant academic force in terms of volume and citations for both breast and aesthetic surgery.

The Electoral System and Japan's Partial Transformation: Party System Consolidation Without Policy Realignment

Ethan Scheiner 동아시아연구원 2012 Journal of East Asian Studies Vol.12 No.3

Japan's electoral system, which emphasizes first-past-the-post, single-member district rules, has led the country's party system to become consolidated around the Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) and Democratic Party of Japan (DPJ). At the same time, Japan's electoral rules also made it likely that the two parties would not differ markedly in their policy positions, as well as hinder the emergence of new partisan alignments that could offer more clearly distinct policy options. Put differently, Japan's electoral rules have encouraged the development of what is essentially a two-party system, but one in which party alternation in power need not produce sharp policy change.

The Corona-Dynamo Connetion in Accretion Disks

Ethan Vishniac 한국물리학회 2004 THE JOURNAL OF THE KOREAN PHYSICAL SOCIETY Vol.45 No.3

The theory of mean-eld dynamos in accretion disks has been discussed at length in numerous papers, dating back almost to the rst theoretical papers on accretion disks. In the last decade the theory of mean-eld dynamos in almost perfectly conducting uids has been subjected to strong criticisms, based on general theoretical considerations and as well as numerical tests. Paradoxically, the numerical evidence for mean-eld dynamo activity in accretion disks, driven by the magnetorotational instability (MRI), has become extremely strong. I will discuss a reformulation of mean- eld dynamo theory, based on magnetic helicity conservation, which is consistent with previous theoretical and numerical analyses. Applying this to accretions disks, we nd that the MRI drives a magnetic helicity current aligned with the spin axis of the disk. As this current emerges into the disk corona it is carried by magnetic structures of steadily increasing size. Consequently the energy ux associated with the magnetic helicity current drops, leading to the dissipation of energy in the corona. This represents a minimal level of coronal heating A similar dynamo operating in the collisionless plasma of the corona can produce additional coronal heating, in which case the magnetic helicity current driven by the corona will increase the eciency of the disk dynamo.

Necrotrophic Fungus Pyrenophora tritici-repentis Triggers Expression of Multiple Resistance Components in Resistant and Susceptible Wheat Cultivars

Ethan J. Andersen,Madhav P. Nepal,Shaukat Ali 한국식물병리학회 2021 Plant Pathology Journal Vol.37 No.2

Tan spot of wheat, caused by Pyrenophora tritici-re- pentis (Ptr), results in a yield loss through chlorosis and necrosis of healthy leaf tissue. The major objective of this study was to compare gene expression in resistant and susceptible wheat cultivars after infection with Ptr ToxA-producing race 2 and direct infiltration with Ptr ToxA proteins. Greenhouse experiments included ex- posure of the wheat cultivars to pathogen inoculum or direct infiltration of leaf tissue with Ptr-ToxA protein isolate. Samples from the experiments were subjected to RNA sequencing. Results showed that ToxA RNA sequences were first detected in samples collected eight hours after treatments indicating that upon Ptr con- tact with wheat tissue, Ptr started expressing ToxA. The resistant wheat cultivar, in response to Ptr inocu- lum, expressed genes associated with plant resistance responses that were not expressed in the susceptible cultivar; genes of interest included five chitinases, eight transporters, five pathogen-detecting receptors, and multiple classes of signaling factors. Resistant and susceptible wheat cultivars therefore differed in their response in the expression of genes that encode chitin- ases, transporters, wall-associated kinases, permeases, and wound-induced proteins, among others. Plants exposed to Ptr inoculum expressed transcription fac- tors, kinases, receptors, and peroxidases, which are not expressed as highly in the control samples or samples infiltrated with ToxA. Several of the differentially ex- pressed genes between cultivars were found in the Ptr resistance QTLs on chromosomes 1A, 2D, 3B, and 5A. Future studies should elucidate the specific roles these genes play in the wheat response to Ptr.
