Expatriation, Snobbery, and Uncommon Commonness in Aaron’s Rod and Kangaroo

( Adam Parkes ) 한국로렌스학회 2018 D.H. 로렌스 연구 Vol.26 No.2

This essay reads two of Lawrence’s post-war novels, Aaron’s Rod (1922) and Kangaroo (1923) as an expatriate’s books about expatriation, by considering their contrasting approaches to relations between narrative, time, and place. It is divided into two parts. Part 1 considers how Aaron’s Rod enacts a drama of travel and expatriation in a semi-picaresque narrative structure that plays movement across national borders against movement within those borders. The novel’s complex structure―coupled with its close attention to cultural geographies―also allows Lawrence to articulate persistent anxieties about snobbery and the commonplace that inform the novel’s sense of what might count as truly aristocratic. Ultimately, those anxieties are expressed not only in the novel’s content and narrative structure but even in its language. Part 2 shows how Lawrence extends his confrontation with these formal and thematic problems in Kangaroo. This book renews and heightens the pressure on Lawrence’s ideas about the aristocratic and the common, by reframing them in the context of a burgeoning ideological war between fascism and socialism. The narrative form and language of Kangaroo generate resistance to the standard terms―democracy vs. aristocracy, socialism vs. communism, nationalism vs. internationalism―in which public debates about the postwar world were typically conducted. By its verbal magic, especially by its use of simile as the figurative embodiment of a principle of perpetual migration, this novel also conjures a new vision of the living universe, slipping the noose (if only for a time) of self, or culture, or society.

Validation of participant screening processes for simulator sickness management

Reed N.,Diels C.,Parkes A.M. 한국자동차공학회 2008 한국자동차공학회 Symposium Vol.2008 No.9

The incidence of simulator sickness impacts all simulators that purport to provide drivers with a realistic experience. It has symptoms similar to motion sickness but can occur in the absence of physical motion of the observer. TRL was commissioned by the Scottish Executive to train 700 professional commercial vehicle drivers on two full mission truck simulators. Monitoring the incidence and effects of simulator sickness were paramount to the success of the programme. The aim of the driver training was to improve driver safety and fuel efficiency. Drivers on the programme completed a short familiarisation drive before completing two sets of four exercises, spending about an hour in the simulator in total. The simulator recorded drivers’ fuel efficiency, gear changes, speed, and time taken. Drivers also completed questionnaires as part of the training programme, one of which was the simulator sickness questionnaire (SSQ) proposed by Kennedy, Lane, Berbaum, and Lilienthal (1993), completed before and after driving the simulator. This enabled drivers’ subjective feelings of sickness to be recorded. Drivers rated their experience in the simulator very highly and showed significant improvements in their driving performance. Driver age and previous experience of motion sickness were both correlated with reported sickness level. There was also a significant correlation between drivers’ attitudes to technology and their susceptibility to simulator sickness. The implications of these results for the development of screening processes to reduce the incidence of simulator sickness, consequences for the use of simulators for driver training, and the effectiveness of such a screening questionnaire on a small simulator training programme are discussed.

“Foreign brands of course!” An ethnographic study exploring COO image perceptions and its influence on the preference of foreign clothing brands

Khair Nadine,Lloyd-Parkes Elizabeth,Deacon Jonathan 한국마케팅과학회 2021 Journal of Global Fashion Marketing Vol.12 No.3

This study explores Jordanian women’s preferences for foreign over local clothing brands through exploring perceptions of COO image. An ethnographic approach has been utilized, consisting of 3 data generation stages: interactive group interviews; shopping observations; and one on one responsive interviews. This study highlights new reasons for preference of foreign brands, overlooked in previous studies, stemming from self and social symbolism, consumption symbolism, status and conspicuous consumption and country of origin image. Furthermore, a key outcome of this research is the conceptualization of “Country of Purchase”. Implications are provided for local clothing brands on ways to improve their image in the eyes of Jordanian consumers – particularly women. Recommendations regarding local brands’ pricing, store atmosphere and image, and symbolic value are highlighted and discussed. Previous research is extended by exploring different reasons for foreign brand preference in developing countries and introduces an inductive and interpretive approach to obtain descriptive and rich data providing understanding of the phenomena of country of origin and country of purchase in the fashion industry.

Corticotropin-releasing factor(CRF)를 분비하는 배양세포주는 CRF의 세포내 조절을 연구하는데 있어 훌륭한 체계가 된다. BE(2)-M17 및 BE(2)-C 세포주는 CRF를 생산하고 분비하며 forskolin 처치에 반응하는 것으로 알려져 있다. 저자들은 이들 세포주에 phorbol 에스테르, 즉 phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate(TPA) 0.8, 4, 10, 20 nM, 및 nitric oxide(NO)의 신호전달 경로의 자극제(1-${\mu}M$ nitroprusside)와 차단제($1{\mu}M$ nitroprusside+$300{\mu}M$ $N^G$-methyl-D-arginine), 그리고 interleukin-$1{\alpha}$ (IL $1{\alpha}$ ; 4, 20, 100, 500 pM)를 처치하여 CRF를 의미있게 증가시켰으나 세포외 분비는 C 세포에서만 변화되었다. NOS계의 자극제와 차단제는 C 세포의 forskolin 효과를 의미있게 변화시켰다. IL$1{\alpha}$는 두 세포주에 대한 영향이 없었다. 상기 제제들에 대한 이들 세포의 반응이 중추신경계 CRF 신경들과 관련하여 논의되었다.

마을마당에서 재현된 전통조경요소에 관한 연구

박승오,김정태 한경대학교 2005 論文集 Vol.37 No.-

This study is aim to find modernized representation of Korean tradition and search the pattern of revival today's Village Parks by analyzing the characteristics of Village Parks which are constructed in Seoul. As a result of analyzing the patterns of revival in Village Parks with three factors-a direct representation, an abstract (metaphoric) representation and destructive representation : the three factors are used in previous surveys about the revival pattern of Village Parks-most landscape facilities are showed to modernized representation of Korean tradition but they are used with no relation to traditional methods. To show modernized representation of Korean tradition Village Parks are built with two ways: copying a prototype of the Village Park and making similar to it changing its texture or size and changing. To reconstruct Village Parks considering images of them and spatial characteristics is needed, giving consequences and functions. In this manners, ways to show modernized representation of Korean tradition are too limited. In modernized representation of Korean tradition, there is design guidance to help design those parks suitable for traditional images, but existent Village Parks are still inefficient to represent modernized representation of Korean tradition.

도시공원의 이용후 평가에 기초한 공원의 개발지표 설정 : 부산광역시 암남공원을 사례로 Case Study of Amnam Park in Busan City

박승범,김승환,남정칠,강영조,이기철,김석규 동아대학교 환경문제연구소 1999 硏究報告 Vol.22 No.2

The purpose of this study is to investigate the prime factors that affect to user postoccupancy evaluation of activities and facilities in urban parks, to classify those factors, to find out factors about them, and then to suggest important indicators in the urban park planning, design, and development. The survey research was done using the self-administered questionnaire method by 435 peoples in the Busan City who participated in recreational activities in the Amnam Park. The Analysis of the data primarily consists of two phase: The first analysis was dealt an exploratory factor analysis which identified major factors involved in user postoccupancy evaluation with reacreational activities and facilities in Amnam Park by the SPSS(Ver.6.0) program and the second analysis was used to investigate the factors affected to user postoccupancy evaluation in the urban park by the Regression Analysis. According to the factor analysis, user postoccupancy evaluation of facilities in urban parks concerning the 20 variables, 5 prime factors by the staistical values were considered. The factor analysis showed that user postoccupancy evaluation of activities in urban parks concerning the 11 variables, 3 prime factors by the staistical values were analysed. Postoccupancy evaluation in the urban park by the Regression Analysis suggested that the two varlables as 'the directions of park development' and 'companies with the personal specific characteristics' are significant in addition to the some variables presented in user postoccupancy evaluation with reacreational activities and facilities in Amnam Park by the factor analysis. Furthomore the analysis models were identified as having significant effects on the factor and regression analysis. Overall fits of both models were very good. These significant relationships indicate important factors and variables that should be considered in planning, design, and development of the urban parks. Therefore, development direction of the h a m park has to be analyzed as significant factors concerning user postoccupancy evaluation in a systematic way, recognized as important variables for planning process. The urban park has to be fully designed and established in the planning process not by the decision-maker's subjective evaluation but by user postoccupancy evaluation.

The parking guidance system can increase driver’s convenience with detailed parking information service in the parking lot. At the same time, parking guidance system consumes non-negligible electrical energy with large amount of sensors, displays and control modules. With the increase in the demand for green and sustainable building design all over the world, it becomes a meaningful issue for parking guidance system to reduce operating power. This paper presents the preliminary design and estimated results of a parking guidance system which is optimized to reduce the power consumption mainly on detectors and displays. The system design is based on pre-developed wireless parking detectors, Park Tile and Park Disk. The system has a number of parking space detectors, vehicle count detectors, information displays, guidance terminals and other control units. We have performed system architecture design, communication network design, parking information service scenario planning, battery life regulation and at last operating power estimation. The estimated operating power was 0.4 watt per parking-slot, which is 17% of traditional systems. The estimated annual maintain cost was 43% of traditional systems.
