A Novel Approach to Improving the Reliability of Manual Semen Analysis: A Paradigm Shift in the Workup of Infertile Men

Douglas Christopher,Parekh Neel,Kahn Linda G.,Henkel Ralf,Agarwal Ashok 대한남성과학회 2021 The World Journal of Men's Health Vol.39 No.2

Conventional semen analysis (SA) is an essential component of the male infertility workup, but requires laboratories to rigorously train and monitor technicians as well as regularly perform quality assurance assessments. Without such measures there is room for error and, consequently, unreliable results. Furthermore, clinicians often rely heavily on SA results when making diagnostic and treatment decisions, however conventional SA is only a surrogate marker of male fecundity and does not guarantee fertility. Considering these challenges, the last several decades have seen the development of many advances in SA methodology, including tests for sperm DNA fragmentation, acrosome reaction, and capacitation. While these new diagnostic tests have improved the scope of information available to clinicians, they are expensive, time-consuming, and require specialized training. The latest advance in laboratory diagnostics is the measurement of seminal oxidation-reduction potential (ORP). The measurement of ORP in an easy, reproducible manner using a new tool called the Male Infertility Oxidative Stress System (MiOXSYS) has demonstrated ORP’s potential as a feasible adjunct test to conventional SA. Additionally, the measurement of ORP by this device has been shown to be predictive of both poor semen quality and male infertility. Assessing ORP is a novel approach to both validating manual SA results and identifying patients who may benefit from treatment of male oxidative stress infertility.

Grounds of Buddha-Nature in Tibet

Douglas Duckworth 금강대학교 불교문화연구소 2017 불교학 리뷰 Vol.21 No.-

본고는 티벳에서 구축된 중관, 유식, 그리고 불성(tathāgatagarbha) 교리의 통합을 논한다. 불성은 독특하게도 근본식(ālayavijñāna)에 대한 유식교리의 측면과 함께 중관의 보편적인 공의 측면을 취하는 대승불교의 교리이다. 실제의 근본적인 바탕으로서, 불성은 (중관에서의 경우) 공의 긍적적인 측면과 동일시되고, (유가행파의 경우) 아뢰야식과 동화된다. 또한 내재적인 청정한 마음으로서, 불성은 완전한 깨달음의 가능성으로서 원인 역할을 한다. 불성은 (마음과 실제의 기반을 긍정하는) 유가행파의 이해와 유사한 방식으로, 긍정적인 측면에서 공의 중관적인 이해를 형성하게 되었다. 불성은 고통의 왜곡된 인지 체계로서 기능할 뿐만 아니라, 식 이론에 대해 긍정적인 대안을 제공함으로써 마음과 실제에 대한 유식이론을 보강한다. 따라서 불성은 성불의 가능성 뿐만 아니라 깨달음에 대한 인지 내용이기도 하다. 티벳에서는 불성의 이해가 구조적으로 동일한 방식으로 중관사상과 만나는 것을 볼 수 있다. 불성과 연계되어 중관학파에서 공의 개념은 ‘자공’, 즉 내적 본성의 결여에서, ‘타공’, 즉 남겨진 청정한 바탕으로 전환한다. 불성 교의의 특징에 대한 기술에서도 우리는 역시 유사한 전환을 볼 수있다. 즉 본식, 의타성, 그리고 자기 인식과같은 왜곡된 바탕이 청정하고 영지적인 바탕 내부에서 발생했다는 인과적인 서술로 다시 기술되는 것이다. This paper discusses syntheses forged in Tibet among the doctrines of Madhyamaka, Yogācāra, and buddha-nature (tathāgatagarbha). Buddha-nature is a distinctively Mahāyāna Buddhist doctrine, taking a place along side of the Yogācāra doctrine of the basic consciousness (ālayavijñāna) and the universal emptiness (śūnyatā) of Madhyamaka. As a fundamental ground of reality, buddha-nature comes to be identified with a positive side of emptiness (in the case of Madhyamaka) and is assimilated with the basic consciousness (in the case of Yogācāra) as well. As the intrinsic purity of mind, buddha- nature also plays a causal role as the potential for complete awakening. Buddha-nature comes to shape a Madhyamaka interpretation of emptiness in a positive light in a way that parallels its place in a Yogācāra interpretation (as a positive foundation of mind and reality). Buddha-nature supplements a Yogācāra theory of mind and reality by offering a positive alternative to a theory of consciousness that otherwise functions simply as the distorted cognitive structure of suffering. It thus is not only the potential for an awakened mind, but the cognitive content of awakening, too. In Tibet we see the interpretation of buddha-nature converge with Mahāyāna doctrines in structually parallel ways. Paired with buddha-nature, the doctrine of emptiness in Madhyamaka pivots from a “self-empty” lack of intrinsic nature to an “other-empty,” pure ground that remains. In narratives of disclosure characteristic of the doctrine of buddha-nature, we also see parallel shifts in the foundations of Yogācāra, as grounds of distortion like the basic consciousness, the dependent nature, and self-awareness are reinscribed into a causal story that takes place within a pure, gnostic ground.

Developing a Cantilever-type Near-field Scanning Optical Microscope Using a Single Laser for Topography Detection and Sample Excitation

Douglas Kagoiya Ng’ang’a,Luqman Ali,이용중,변지수 한국광학회 2021 Current Optics and Photonics Vol.5 No.3

The capabilities of the near-field scanning optical microscope (NSOM) for obtaining high resolution lateral topographical images as well as for mapping the spectroscopic and optical properties of a sample below the diffraction limit of light have made it an attractive research field for most researchers dealing with optical characteristics of materials in nano scales. The apertured NSOM technique involves confining light into an aperture of sub-wavelength size and using it to illuminate a sample maintained at a distance equal to a fraction of the sub-wavelength aperture (near-field region). In this article, we present a setup for developing NSOM using a cantilever with a sub-wavelength aperture at the tip. A single laser is used for both cantilever deflection measurement and near-field sample excitation. The laser beam is focused at the apex of the cantilever where a portion of the beam is reflected and the other portion goes through the aperture and causes local near-field optical excitation of the sample, which is then raster scanned in the near-field region. The reflected beam is used for an optical beam deflection technique that yields topographical images by controlling the probe-sample in nano-distance. The fluorescence emissions signal is detected in far-field by the help of a silicon avalanche photodiode. The images obtained using this method show a good correlation between the topographical image and the mapping of the fluorescence emissions.

Reality Effects for a Dangerous Age: Projecting North Korean Youth on the International Screen

Douglas Gabriel 연세대학교 영어영문학과 BK21 Plus 사업단 2020 Situations: Cultural Studies in the Asian Context Vol.13 No.2

In an effort to reshape its international reputation, North Korea has in recent years sought to market abroad a run of documentaries and dramas featuring students and children. This essay explores the ways in which North Korean and international commentators have argued that the films in question reflect one or another reality. For the North Korean commentators, the works encapsulate life in the sŏn’gun or “military- first” era instituted by Kim Jong-il in the late 1990s. For the international commentators, they provide a platform on which the North Korean youth reveal themselves as not wholly supportive of the system under which they are made to live. While the films have in each case been pressed into the service of an operative politics of truth, attention to their profound ambiguity unsettles the assumption that the reality of life in North Korea can invariably be reduced to a dichotomy between the suppressed citizenry and the totalitarian state.

Peacekeeping, Peacemaking, and Peacebuilding on Jeju Island

Douglas A. Yates 세계섬학회 2017 World Environment and Island Studies Vol.7 No.3

Using Johan Galtung’s positive peace/negative peace dichotomy as criteria, this paper will evaluate three approaches to conflict resolution: peacekeeping (interposition of international forces to separate armed belligerents), peacemaking (third-party mediations and negotiated settlements), and peacebuilding (addressing underlying structural issues and long-term relationships between conflict parties), to describe the Jeju Peace Island initiative as a necessary approach to resolving conflict and creating positive peace on the Korean peninsula. Galtung conceptualized the problem of war and peace through a “conflict triangle” with attitude, behavior, and contradiction as its vertices. Galtung argued that all three components would always be present together in a full conflict. As parties disagree over contradictory interests, they develop hostile attitudes which feed conflict behavior. In this dynamic process conflict grows, intensifies, deepens and spreads. This all complicates the task of addressing the original core conflict. Peacebuilding initiatives on Jeju island to resolve the Korean conflict and build positive peace come out of that island’s history of violence. Of particular importance is the memory of the tragic April 3rd 1948 uprising on Jeju island, also known as the 4·3 (or “sasam”) incident, that happened during the Korean War when tens of thousands of islanders, accused of being communists, were massacred by South Korean forces with American assistance. As a result of a series of initiatives to build peace, the South Korean government declared Jeju an “Island of World Peace” on Jan. 27, 2005, and since then several peacebuildling initiatives have been successfully implemented, including the annual Jeju Forum for Peace and Prosperity, the permanent Jeju International Peace Center, and efforts to institutionalize peace studies at Jeju national university.
