Recreational Hiking in South Korea: Transforming the Body, Transforming the Land
Frank Dax 한국학중앙연구원 한국학중앙연구원 2015 Korea Journal Vol.55 No.3
Mountains have long held a central role in Korean culture, a role that has been newly highlighted by the surging popularity of recreational hiking in South Korea. And yet, to the extent that hiking foregrounds the significance of the mountains, it also foregrounds the significance of the body in South Korean society today, as both the land and the body are implicated in the growth of hiking. After charting the historical and cultural background of the hiking phenomenon, which has ascended to a national pastime, this article will analyze the meanings attached to the mountains and the body as a result. What emerges from the analysis is evidence of recreational hiking’s truly transformational potential, its capacity to recreate. In terms of the body, the ritual and performative dimensions hiking has acquired unlock occasions for physical and spiritual transformation, as well as structure new opportunities for the playful and ethical reinvention of the self. In regard to the land, hiking literally transforms the faces of mountains as its mass appeal challenges competing claims for land use and development. Equally important, however, are the ideological transformations of mountain space that sustain hiking’s material claims.
Immunosensors for Food Safety: Current Trends and Future Perspectives

To monitor the levels of antimicrobials, allergens, pathogens and other contaminants in foods meant for human consumption, it is imperative to have quick, accurate and low-cost tests. Advanced techniques (e.g. label-free biosensor assays) have been developed over the past 10?15 years to solve some of these problems. As biosensors, immunosensors can provide real-time measurements, a high degree of automation, and improved throughput and sensitivity. By comparison with conventional methods, immunosensors are less expensive, less sophisticated physicochemical instruments that require less time for analysis while also being more user-friendly. In this review, we discuss our current knowledge about immunosensors, their strengths and weaknesses, as well as the future of these biosensors in food safety.
The Health Impact of, and access to, New Drugs in Korea
Frank R. Lichtenberg 대외경제정책연구원 2020 East Asian Economic Review Vol.24 No.2
We perform an econometric assessment of the role that pharmaceutical innovation— the introduction and use of new drugs—has played in improving the health of Koreans, by investigating whether diseases for which more new drugs were launched had larger subsequent increases in longevity and smaller subsequent increases in hospitalization. Drugs launched during 1993-2012 are estimated to have increased mean age at death from all diseases by 1.71 years between 1995 and 2015 and 1.09 years between 2005 and 2015. We also estimate that new drugs increased the five-year relative survival rate from all cancers combined by 23.2 percentage points—78.5% of the total increase—between 1993-1995 and 2011-2015, and that new drugs launched during 2008-2010 reduced the number of hospital days in 2017 by 13.0 million. If the drugs launched during 2003-2012 had had no effect on other medical expenditure in 2015, the cost per life-year gained would not have exceeded 6332 USD. Therefore, even if we ignore the effect of new drugs on hospital utilization, the drugs launched during 2003-2012 were very cost–effective, overall. When reduced hospital utilization is accounted for, the evidence indicates that, in the long run, pharmaceutical innovation was cost-saving as well as life-year saving.
