Q 방법론의 주관성

Amanda Wolf 한국주관성연구학회 2010 Journal of Human Subjectivity Vol.8 No.2

Subjectivity is at the heart of Q methodology. Many published Q-methodology studies justify the use of Q methodology on the grounds that it enables the ``scientific study of subjectivity``. However, as numbers of publications of applied Q-methodology studies have grown over recent years, specific attention to the conceptual components of the scientific study of subjectivity has decreased. This article draws from the work of William Stephenson to offer a fresh look at ``subjectivity``. It positions the consideration of subjectivity in the overall design of a Qmethodology study, which starts with selecting a topic of interest, and continues through indentifying the concourse, sampling from the concourse, setting conditions of instruction, Q sorting, finding operant factors, and gaining insights and understanding. Q methodologists who give close attention to conditions of instruction, are aware of the Q sorters`` connection to concourse, and look beyond simple factor interpretations to the ``modes of behaviour`` of individuals will produce studies with depth and insight. 주관성은 Q 방법론의 핵심이다. 발행된 Q 방법론의 많은 연구들은 ``주관성의 과학적 연구``가 가능하게 한다는 이유로 Q 방법론의 사용을 정당화시키고 있다. Q 방법론을 적용한 연구들의 많은 출판물들은 최근 증가했으나 주관성의 과학적 연구에 대한 개념적 요소들에 구체적 관심을 두는 연구는 감소했다. 본 논문은 윌리엄 스티븐슨의 연구에서부터 ``주관성``에 대해 신선한 시각을 제공하는 것까지 다루고 있다. Q 방법론 연구를 위해 흥미로운 주제를 선택하고 콘코스 확인을 계속적으로하고, 콘코스로부터 샘플링을 하고 지시조건을 만들고, Q 소팅, 조작적 요인 발견, 통찰력과 이해를 얻는 전체적 설계 내에는 주관성에 대한 고려가 자리를 잡고 있다. 지시조건에 대해 면밀히 연구하는 Q 방법론자들은 콘코스에 대한 Q 분류자들의 연관성을 알고, 그리고 개인의 ``행동방식``에 대한 단순한 요인 해석을 예견하는 것은 연구에 대해 깊고 통찰력있는 결과를 만들어 줄 것이다.

A Pilot Study of the Effect of Green Kiwifruit on Human Intestinal Fermentation Measured by Hydrogen and Methane Breath Testing

Amanda G.Y. Chen,Marleen S.L. Offereins,Christopher J. Mulder,Christopher M. Frampton,Richard B. Gearry 한국식품영양과학회 2018 Journal of medicinal food Vol.21 No.12

We investigated the impact of the ingestion of two green kiwifruit (Actinidia deliciosa var. Hayward) and one Royal Gala apple on breath hydrogen and methane production in humans. Consumption of two green kiwifruit led to no evidence of carbohydrate malabsorption (0/20), whereas consumption of one apple was associated with carbohydrate malabsorption in 6/20 participants (P = .008). There were no significant differences in the area under the curve for hydrogen or methane breath concentrations after consumption of the two fruits. Rates of lactose and fructose breath tests in this cohort were within expected parameters. Green kiwifruit are not associated with clinically significant carbohydrate malabsorption compared with apples in this pilot study.

China’s Role in Ensuring Human Security in North Korea

Amanda Fish 이화여자대학교 국제지역연구소 2023 Asian International Studies Review Vol.24 No.2

This study analyzes China’s current role in human security in North Korea, utilizing both broad and narrow interpretations of human security in its analysis. It outlines Chinese engagement with North Korea, human security as a concept, and Chinese conceptualizations of human security, then examines the role China plays in North Korean human security in terms of food aid, development and infrastructure projects, refugee repatriation, and sanctions. It argues that while China protects human security in terms of food aid, it does not promote human security intentionally, as its motivations are strongly related to traditional territorial security. Furthermore, China harms North Korean security when it comes to refugees. In areas of infrastructure and sanctions, however, it has negligible impact. The study thus concludes ways in which China ensures, harms, and negligibly impacts human security in North Korea.

HOW DO CONSUMERS EVALUATE OVERLAPPING BRANDS? THE ROLE OF CORPORATE VERSUS PRODUCT BRAND DOMINANCE

Amanda Spry,Ann Wallin 글로벌지식마케팅경영학회 2016 Global Marketing Conference Vol.2016 No.7

Most major consumer goods manufacturers market multiple brands within a single product category. Companies may sell brands of different quality levels (e.g., Giorgio Armani, Armani Collezioni, and Armani Exchange). And, within each quality level, companies sell variants of a brand, which differ in functionality (Crest’s cavity protection, tartar control, and whitening toothpastes). With the ultimate goal of securing consumer purchase, companies offer an increasing number of brands, which can result in “overlap” between the brands in a firm’s portfolio. We define overlap from a consumer’s perspective as the degree to which a brand is perceived to offer the same product features as other brands owned by the same firm. The few seminal papers (Aribarg & Arora, 2008; Hui, 2004; Morgan & Rego, 2009) indicate that overlap brings with it a number of compelling advantages and disadvantages, thereby having the potential for positive or negative outcomes. Thus the question arises: When does overlap have a positive or negative effect on consumers’ brand evaluations? We argue that the actual effect of overlap on consumer evaluations depends on two strategic marketing factors: (1) the dominance of the corporate brand versus the product brand in marketing communications of a product, and (2) the type of overlap – vertical (i.e., overlap between products that vary in quality) or horizontal (i.e., overlap between products that vary in functionality). A 2 x 4 between-subjects factorial design was employed to test consumers’ responses to overlap of product extensions under different conditions. The stimulus was developed in two categories: chocolate and wine. The stimulus involved a picture of the packaging for a fictitious product extension for a real parent company (Hershey’s in the chocolate category and Yellow tail in the wine category), accompanied by a descriptor providing product information such as details of its price and features. We collected data using an online questionnaire via Amazon Mechanical Turk. A sample of 366 individual consumers provided data across both the chocolate and wine categories. Our initial results for the chocolate product category indicate that, for the vertical extension, Cocoa Black, consumers evaluated the chocolate bar for which the product brand was dominant more favourably (μ = 5.44) than that for which the corporate brand was dominant (μ = 4.95). This evaluation difference was statistically significant (t = -1.84, p < .05). For the horizontal extension, Peppermint Air Delight, there was a significant difference in evaluation for overlapping products (t = 1.74, p < .05) for which the corporate brand was dominant (μ = 4.60), compared to that for which the product brand was dominant (μ = 3.96). These preliminary results show promise in terms of providing practitioners with prescriptive guidelines for managing overlap to their benefit. The results of this study will be presented in full at the Global Marketing Conference 2016.

Paricalcitol prevents MAPK pathway activation and inflammation in adriamycin-induced kidney injury in rats

Amanda Lima Deluque,Lucas Ferreira de Almeida,Beatriz Magalhães Oliveira,Cláudia Silva Souza,Ana Lívia Dias Maciel,Heloísa Della Coletta Francescato,Cleonice Giovanini,Roberto Silva Costa,Terezila Mac 대한병리학회 2024 Journal of Pathology and Translational Medicine Vol.58 No.5

Background: Activation of the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathway induces uncontrolled cell proliferation in response to inflammatory stimuli. Adriamycin (ADR)-induced nephropathy (ADRN) in rats triggers MAPK activation and pro-inflammatory mechanisms by increasing cytokine secretion, similar to chronic kidney disease (CKD). Activation of the vitamin D receptor (VDR) plays a crucial role in suppressing the expression of inflammatory markers in the kidney and may contribute to reducing cellular proliferation. This study evaluated the effect of pre-treatment with paricalcitol on ADRN in renal inflammation mechanisms. Methods: Male Sprague-Dawley rats were implanted with an osmotic minipump containing activated vitamin D (paricalcitol, Zemplar, 6 ng/day) or vehicle (NaCl 0.9%). Two days after implantation, ADR (Fauldoxo, 3.5 mg/kg) or vehicle (NaCl 0.9%) was injected. The rats were divided into four experimental groups: control, n = 6; paricalcitol, n = 6; ADR, n = 7 and, ADR + paricalcitol, n = 7. Results: VDR activation was demonstrated by increased CYP24A1 in renal tissue. Paricalcitol prevented macrophage infiltration in the glomeruli, cortex, and outer medulla, prevented secretion of tumor necrosis factor-α, and interleukin-1β, increased arginase I and decreased arginase II tissue expressions, effects associated with attenuation of MAPK pathways, increased zonula occludens-1, and reduced cell proliferation associated with proliferating cell nuclear antigen expression. Paricalcitol treatment decreased the stromal cell-derived factor 1α/chemokine C-X-C receptor type 4/β-catenin pathway. Conclusions: Paricalcitol plays a renoprotective role by modulating renal inflammation and cell proliferation. These results highlight potential targets for treating CKD.

The Applicability of Hybrid Peacebuilding in Ethno-Religious Conflict: A Case Study of the Uighur-Han Conflict in Xinjiang, China

Amanda Fish 이화여자대학교 국제지역연구소 2022 Asian International Studies Review Vol.23 No.1

This study attempted to examine to what extent hybrid peacebuilding would be applicable in Xinjiang’s ethnic conflict between the Han and Uighurs. After situating hybrid peacebuilding within the liberal peacebuilding literature, for further contextualization, the study then extrapolated key information from several other Asian cases of hybrid peacebuilding. It then overviewed the conflict (the parties involved and their various perspectives), outlined the modern efforts to resolve the conflict, and determined how they remain problematic. Finally, the study qualitatively analyzed the theoretical applicability of hybrid peacebuilding, its potential benefits, and potential drawbacks. The study concluded that hybrid peacebuilding has theoretical potential in Xinjiang, especially in the future, but its current drawbacks hinder its chances of success.

Deviant Sexuality and Positive Outcomes in Ulysses and The Waste Land

Amanda Lynn Greenwood 한국제임스조이스학회 2013 제임스조이스저널 Vol.19 No.2

This essay aims to highlight the forms of deviant sexuality in the “Nausicaa” episode of Ulysses and the sections “A Game of Chess” and “The Fire Sermon” in The Waste Land. At the same time, uncovering biographical details from the authors’ personal lives can help us to understand why they were so fixated on this type of sexuality and may aid us in understanding why these deviant behaviors can be a form of positive outcomes and liberation for the characters and/or societies in the works.
