Corey Basch,Christina Yarborough,Stephanie Trusty,Charles Basch 대한예방의학회 2016 Journal of Preventive Medicine and Public Health Vol.49 No.4

Objectives: Nail salon owners in New York City (NYC) are required to provide their workers with gloves and it is their responsibility to maintain healthy, safe working spaces for their employees. The purpose of this study was to determine the frequency with which nail salon workers wear protective gloves. Methods: A Freedom of Information Law request was submitted to New York Department of State’s Division of Licensing Services for a full list of nail salons in Manhattan, NYC. A sample population of 800 nail salons was identified and a simple random sample (without replacement) of 30% (n=240) was selected using a random number generator. Researchers visited each nail salon from October to December of 2015, posing as a potential customer to determine if nail salon workers were wearing gloves. Results: Among the 169 salons in which one or more workers was observed providng services, a total of 562 workers were observed. For 149 salons, in which one or more worker was observed providing services, none of the workers were wearing gloves. In contrast, in six of the salons observed, in which one or more workers was providing services, all of the workers (1 in 2 sites, 2 in 1 site, 3 in 2 sites, and 4 in 1 site) were wearing gloves. Almost three-quarters of the total number of workers observed (n=415, 73.8%) were not wearing gloves. Conclusions: The findings of this study indicate that, despite recent media attention and legislation, the majority of nail salon workers we observed were not wearing protective gloves when providing services.

Rapid hydrocarbon dew points by infrared spectroscopy: Results and validation for binary mixtures of methane + {propane, isobutane and butane}

Corey J. Baker,Thomas J. Hughes,Brendan F. Graham,Kenneth N. Marsh,Eric F. May 한국공업화학회 2018 Journal of Industrial and Engineering Chemistry Vol.58 No.-

An industrial hydrocarbon dew point detector based on infrared absorption spectroscopy was tested down to a temperature of 243 K and at pressures up to 10 MPa. Dew temperatures were measured isobarically for pure ethane and mixtures of methane + {propane, isobutane, or n-butane}. Ethane dew temperatures were within ±0.38 K of the reference equation of state prediction. Mixture dew temperatures below the cricondentherm were determined within 0.7 K. At higher pressures, dew temperatures were over-predicted due to the rapid changes in gas density with temperature. Improved performance could be achieved by isochoric operation, and by reducing temperature scan rates.

From the “Cool and Pure” to the “Hot and Bothered” – The ‘Heterodox’ Buddhist Poetics of Hanshan Deqing.

Corey Lee Bell 한국선학회 2018 한국선학 Vol.0 No.50

중국 불교 문학관의 두드러진 특징은 비불교적 시가 종교적 가치를 가질 수 있다는 생 각이 발전한 점이다. 특히 근대 제국시대의 승려들 사이에서는 세속적 시의 종교적인 가치를 이해하려는 다양한 관점이 형성되었다. 이 중 명말의 승려 감산덕청이 제기한 관점은 특별하여, 전통적인 관점과 극명한 대조를 이룬다. 중국 불교 총림의 속시(俗詩) 에 대한 종교적 가치 개념의 다원성과 정교성을 밝히기 위해, 본고는 감산이 유배된 후 의 시선(詩禪)에 대한 논술의 형성과 구조를 분석했고, 이 논술이 후대에 미친 영향을 탐 구했으며, 교리적 연원 이외에도 감산의 개인체험이 그의 논술에 준 영향을 함께 탐구 했다. 이는 시적으로 ‘청정’을 묘사하는 종교적 가치에 대한 전통적인 생각을 논하는 것 으로 시작된다. 이후 감산이 중국 남부의 열대 지역으로 유배된 뒤 지옥처럼 더운 장면 을 묘사하는 시의 종교적 가치를 어떻게 긍정하기 시작했고, 이러한 사상적 변화가 어 떻게 『능가경』과 상호영향을 주고받았는지 분석했다. 그는 지옥·몽경(夢境)·몽어(夢語) 의 3가지 개념으로 유심파 사상에 영향을 받은 새로운 관점을 창조했으니, 유배시와 선의 동일성이다. 마지막으로 감산의 시론이 중국 남부 승려들에게 미친 영향을 설명 하고, 시선(詩禪)에 대한 전통적인 방법론을 벗어나 새롭게 탐구할 것을 주장하였다. A distinctive feature of Chinese Buddhist literary theory was the development of the idea that non-Buddhist poetry can have religious value. This is commonly associated with the idea that the ‘pure and cool’ (清淨) scenes of some landscape/reclusive poems celebrated Buddhist eremitic ideals, and could even reflect the inner ‘coolness and purity’ of the enlightened author. However, especially in the late imperial period, less widely celebrated ways of understanding the Buddhist value of secular poems were proposed by monastic writers. Of these, the rubric advanced by the eminent late Ming cleric Hanshan Deqing (憨山德清) is particularly marked on account of its stark contrast with more established conventions – he proposed that poems which depicted agitated emotions prompted by ‘steamy’ and defiled scenes were ideal resources for enlightening Buddhist disciples. These ideas emerged after Hanshan was exiled to Lingnan (Guangdong), and were attributed to religious insights he developed as a result of this bitter experience – in particular, revelations in relation to the Laṅkāvatāra Sūtra. These ideas arguably exerted some influence on monastic writers – especially those who were similarly exposed to political violence as a result of the collapse of the Ming dynasty. Aiming foremost to contribute to a greater awareness of the diversity and sophistication of monastic discourses on the religious utility of poetry, this article discusses the formation and constitution, and tentatively explores the influence of, the post-exile writings on poetry-Chan of Hanshan Deqing. Its methodology is somewhat unconventional in that, in line with the approach to Hanshan’s thought of Sung-peng Hsu, it seeks to uncover both the doctrinal and experiential influences that shaped Hanshan’s unique approach to poetryChan. It begins by briefly discussing conventional ideas on the religious value of poetically depicting ‘pure and cool’ settings. It then discusses how, subsequent to Hanshan’s exile to the tropics of southern Lingnan, he began to affirm the religious utility of poems which depict steamy, “hellish” settings, and analyzes how this transformation was related to Hanshan’s post-exile revelations regarding the Laṅkāvatāra. It explores, in particular, how the notions of “hell”, “dreamlike-ness” and “dream-speech” were drawn upon to construct new, Mind-only school-inspired theories on how genres such as frontier/exile poetry can be radically identified with Chan. The last section briefly explores the influence of Hanshan’s unorthodox emancipatory poetics in Qing dynasty southern Chinese monastic orders, and encourages further studies aimed at challenging the relatively narrow purview of conventional approaches to poetry-Chan.

Influences of Narcissism and Culture Type on Self-Image Congruency and Brand Attachment

Corey Allen Ross,신종국,문민경 한국자료분석학회 2018 Journal of the Korean Data Analysis Society Vol.20 No.4

This research investigates the individuals of two distinct cultures and attempts to determine whether culture and narcissism play a role in the likelihood for an individual to seek out congruency between a brand image and self-image. A comprehensive research model is presented and defines how a consumer's culture and narcissistic tendencies influence self-image congruency with a favored brand and whether that construct variable can influence the degree to which brand attachment is likely to manifest. The findings indicate that narcissists and individualists are more inclined to form self-image congruency with their favored brands image. Self-image congruency increases the likelihood of brand attachment formation for a consumer. Additionally, the moderating effect of self-efficacy dampens the relationship between self-image congruency and brand attachment, likely due to the more involved nature of individuals high in self-efficacy in regards to their relationship commitment and formation.

( Corey Warburton ),이건학 ( Gunhak Lee ) 한국지리학회 2016 한국지리학회지 Vol.5 No.2

사회네트워크서비스(SNS)는 다양한 연구 분야의 중요한 데이터 소스로 점차 각광받고 있다. 특히, 트위터와 같은 마이크로블 로그에 대한 어휘 분석은 마이크로블로그가 탑재하고 있는 내용 뿐 아니라 지리 정보나 인적 네트워크와 같은 비어휘적 정보를 풍부하게 제공할 수 있기 때문에 매우 중요한 데이터 소스로 인식되고 있다. 본 연구는 다양한 어휘 분석적 접근 중에서 감정언어와 감정 지리학에 초점을 맞춘 마이크로블로그 분석의 최신 이슈들을 이론적으로 고찰하고자 한다. 이를 위해 본 연구는 감정 및 지리학에 관련된 세 가지 주요 연구 분야의 발전을 살펴본다. 먼저, 지리학과 컴퓨테이션 분야의 연구에 영향을 끼치고 있는 현대 심리학의 감정 분석에 대한 이론적 프레임워크를 살펴보고, 마이크로블로그의 감정 언어 분석과 감정 분류에 대한 주요 이슈와 컴퓨테이션 발전을 논의한다. 다음으로 감정 지리학과 관련한 마이크로블로그 분석 방법을 트위터를 중심으로 살펴본다. 마지막으로 마이크로블로그 분석과 관련하여 향후 보완되어야 할 연구 주제와 지리적 연구 목적을 위한 컴퓨테이션 방법의 개선에 대해 논의한다. Social networking services (SNS) have become an increasingly important source of data for various fields of research. In particular, lexical analysis of microblogs such as Twitter have become important sources of data both because of the content of the microblog itself and the metadata that provides a wealth of alternative non-lexical information about a tweet such as geographic location and network of acquaintances. Among various lexical approaches, this paper attempts to theoretically review the cutting edge issues of microblog analysis, particularly focusing on emotional language and the geography of emotion. For doing this, this paper explores the evolution of three distinct fields of research in relation to emotion and geography. First, we discuss the theoretical framework of emotional analysis in modern psychology which might affect research in both geographic and computational fields. Next, major issues and computational advancements into emotional language analysis on microblogs are discussed. And then, microblog analysis in relation to emotional geography is generally discussed focused on Twitter. Lastly, what should be conducted for future research and how computational methods can be improved for geographic research purposes are discussed.

A Feature-Salience Analogue of the Inverse Base-rate Effect

Corey J. Bohil,Arthur B. Markman,W. odd Maddox 대한사고개발학회 2005 The International Journal of Creativity & Problem Vol.15 No.1

Classification learning requires integrating many properties of the items being learned including the base-rate probability that a category will occur as well as the salience of features. Previous research has demonstrated an inverse base-rate effect, in which people classify an item that has features predictive of both a high base-rate and low base-rate category into the rarer category. We suggest that this finding reflects that feature salience plays a greater role in classification than does base-rates. We tested this hypothesis by demonstrating that manipulations of feature salience determine the classification of ambiguous stimuli regardless of the underlying base-rates of the categories.

For the Triratna and for Samyak-saṃbodhi-The 'Quasi-poetry' of Tianran Hanshi-

Corey Lee Bell 한국불교연구원 2018 불교연구 Vol.49 No.-

This article discusses the meaning of the eminent early Qing monastic leader Tianran Hanshi's 天然函昰 concept of “quasi poetry” 似詩, its relationship with contemporary debates on the relationship between Chan and poetry, and its impact on poetic ideas and practices in Buddhist monasteries. It will begin by addressing how, in the backdrop of a shift in gentry-monastic relations in the late Ming / early Qing, some monastic writers, such as the renowned late Ming reformer Hanshan Deqing 憨山德清, articulated a more radical identification of Chan with poetry. I will then briefly introduce Tianran and the core principles he associated with his concept of “quasi poetry”, focusing on the ways in which this concept constituted an alternative – and possibly an implicit critique – of the radical identity theory. The third section shows examples of the application of Tianran’s “quasi poetry”, focusing on a response poem Tianran composed for the lay disciple Xie Jiu 謝揪. This is followed by a discussion on quasi poetry’s application and impact in and beyond Tianran’s Haiyun school. In a brief afterword I will discuss this how this concept was associated with new modes of literary interaction between gentry and clerical interlocutors, and summarise some of the core reasons for this phenomenon’s growth, and eventual decline, during the Qing dynasty.

Poetry, Emotionality and Enlightenment Neo-Confucian Influences on ‘Poetry-Chan’ in Ming ‘Loyalist’ Monastic Communities

Corey Lee Bell 중앙대학교 외국학연구소 2018 외국학연구 Vol.- No.44

The idea that poetry can be identified with Chan constitutes one of the most iconic symbols of Chinese Buddhist literary theory. It is arguably most commonly associated with the view that indigenous genres of nature or reclusion poetry can be imbued with religious power, and in particular, the notion that conveying the serene ambience of a secluded setting can transmit the inner tranquility or 'stillness' of the enlightened poet. This view reflected beliefs about the type of environments conducive to Buddhist cultivation, and ostensibly sacrosanct Buddhist eremetic ideals. These factors were linked by some scholars to a tenet loosely associated with Mahāyāna Mind-Nature Theory - that stilling the phenomenal mind, principally through cultivating detachment from worldly affairs, can enable the practitioner to discern with clarity his primordial Buddha nature. During the 17th century, however, many new views on the Buddhist value of non-Buddhist poetry began to proliferate in some Buddhist monasteries. This trend arose against the backdrop of a chaotic period of dynastic transition, and was particularly prominent in Buddhist communities which featured many monks renowned for being loyal to the Ming dynasty, which was overthrown by the Manchu Qing. One view in particular marked a radical departure from the more conventional Buddhist emphasis on stillness and detachment - the notion that religious benefits can be derived from cathartic poems which depict traumatic events, and the intense emotional responses they evoke. The development of these new ideas was related to the formation of a new, syncretic Mind-Nature Theory paradigm, one whose core conceptual foundations were drawn from the famous Song neo-Confucian Zhu Xi's notion of 'the mutual incorporation (or interfusion) of stillness and (e)motion'. This theory was intimately connected in these monks’ writings with the idea that poetry's enlightening power stemmed from its facility for venting and modulating e-motion - in particular, its capacity to facilitate psychological amelioration and restore 'stillness' or mental tranquility for those living through trying times. This article examines the writings of four so-called 'loyalist' Chan monks who adapted Zhu's paradigm of the interfusion between stillness and motion to promote the idea that intense 'worldly' emotions, when expressed in poetic form, can have religious value for Buddhist disciples. The monks in question are: 1. the Caodong Tianjie lineage founder Juelang Daosheng, who first developed this rubric, and whose ideas will be the subject of special emphasis; 2. his principle disciple Fang Yizhi; 3. the Caodong Haichuang lineage leader Jinshi Dangui, and; 4. the Linji sect monk Jishan Chengjiu. In addition to discussing how the development and evolution of this rubric reflected the specificities of these authors' historical situation, I aim to show how this evolving model could be seen to constitute an approach to literature and emotionality that reflected the syncretic, humanist and socially engaged brand of Buddhism which was a prominent feature in the religious landscape of late imperial China.

Corey H. Basch,Isaac Chun-Hai Fung,Rodney N. Hammond,Elizabeth B. Blankenship,Zion Tsz Ho Tse,King-Wa Fu,Patrick Ip,Charles E. Basch 대한예방의학회 2017 Journal of Preventive Medicine and Public Health Vol.50 No.2

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to describe the source, length, number of views, and content of the most widely viewed Zika virus (ZIKV)-related YouTube videos. We hypothesized that ZIKV-related videos uploaded by different sources contained different content. Methods: The 100 most viewed English ZIKV-related videos were manually coded and analyzed statistically. Results: Among the 100 videos, there were 43 consumer-generated videos, 38 Internet-based news videos, 15 TV-based news videos, and 4 professional videos. Internet news sources captured over two-thirds of the total of 8 894 505 views. Compared with consumer-generated videos, Internet-based news videos were more likely to mention the impact of ZIKV on babies (odds ratio [OR], 6.25; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.64 to 23.76), the number of cases in Latin America (OR, 5.63; 95% CI, 1.47 to 21.52); and ZIKV in Africa (OR, 2.56; 95% CI, 1.04 to 6.31). Compared with consumer-generated videos, TV-based news videos were more likely to express anxiety or fear of catching ZIKV (OR, 6.67; 95% CI, 1.36 to 32.70); to highlight fear of ZIKV among members of the public (OR, 7.45; 95% CI, 1.20 to 46.16); and to discuss avoiding pregnancy (OR, 3.88; 95% CI, 1.13 to 13.25). Conclusions: Public health agencies should establish a larger presence on YouTube to reach more people with evidence-based information about ZIKV.
