( Kim¸ Haeyoung ) 동국대학교 영어권문화연구소 2017 영어권문화연구 Vol.10 No.2

The integration of language, literature, and culture in the foreign language classroom is a challenge to educationists who struggle to devise a way to achieve the goal of raising individuals equipped with communicative skills founded on solid intercultural understanding. This paper explores teaching strategies that move away from the traditional teacher-centered foreign language literature instruction model and embrace more actively a learner-centered model in which groupwork and workshop-style presentation were introduced to the classroom. Using 9.11.01: The Skyscraper and the Airplane by Adam Goodheart as the main reading text, students engaged in close reading of the literary text, group projects in preparation for class presentation, and workshop-style class discussions. The process enabled students to reflect upon their reading strategies used in understanding the text, method of research for information, and interpersonal and presentation skills. Incorporating cultural factors related to literary texts with learner-centered group projects proved an effective way for students to become motivated learners and critical thinkers in addition to building knowledge on cultural matters and communicative skills.

Lactobacillus rhamnosus BFE5264, isolated from a Maasai fermented milk product (“kule naoto”), was previously shown to exhibit bile acid resistance, cholesterol assimilation, and adhesion to HT29-MTX cells in vitro. In this study, we re-annotated and analyzed the previously reported complete genome sequence of strain BFE5264. The genome consists of a circular chromosome of 3,086,152 bp and a putative plasmid, which is the largest one identified among L. rhamnosus strains. Among the 2,883 predicted protein-coding genes, those with carbohydrate-related functions were the most abundant. Genome analysis of strain BFE5264 revealed two consecutive CRISPR regions and no known virulence factors or antimicrobial resistance genes. In addition, previously known highly variable regions in the genomes of L. rhamnosus strains were also evident in strain BFE5264. Pairwise comparison with the most studied probiotic strain L. rhamnosus GG revealed strain BFE5264-specific deletions, probably due to insertion sequence-mediated recombination. The latter was associated with loss of the spaCBA pilin gene cluster and exopolysaccharide biosynthetic genes. Comparative genomic analysis of the sequences from all available L. rhamnosus strains revealed that they were clustered into two groups, being within the same species boundary based on the average nucleotide identities. Strain BFE5264 had a sister group relationship with the group that contained strain GG, but neither ANI-based hierarchical clustering nor core-gene-based phylogenetic tree construction showed a clear distinctive pattern associated with the isolation source, implying that the genotype alone cannot account for their ecological niches. These results provide insights into the probiotic mechanisms of strain BFE5264 at the genomic level.

Enter Poetry and Song into the Classroom: Integrating Literature into American Culture Courses

Haeyoung Kim 한국영미문학교육학회 2013 영미문학교육 Vol.17 No.1

The purpose of this paper is to examine the need for cultural awareness in foreign language education and the role of literature in culture courses in the collegiate setting, specifically focusing on the utility of poetry and song. This paper narrowed the genre of investigation to poetry and song based on the argument that, despite its wide-spread unpopularity among students stemming from its abstractness and complexity, poems have a unique advantage over other forms of literature in delivering understanding of certain topics and issues of cultural value. To this end, the link between foreign language learning and culture has been explored, followed by a probe into the role of literature and, more specifically, poetry and song have in facilitating the understanding of a different culture, and how they can be introduced into English language classrooms. Poems and songs that have both literary and cultural value are presented as examples. This paper seeks to find a meeting point between the pragmatic needs of learners struggling to acquire English proficiency and the utility of poetry and literature to assist learners achieve their goal.

Applying error analysis to note-taking instruction: Implications for the undergraduate classroom

Haeyoung Kim 한국통역번역학회 2022 통역과 번역 Vol.24 No.1

This study aimed to examine the relationship between conference interpretation (CI) and note-taking through an analysis of notes produced by undergraduate students during CI classes. A comparison of the original speech, notes, and the interpretation was made to identify factors which impede accurate interpretation. This study specifically focused on the error types manifested by the students in order to identify teaching points at the undergraduate level of CI instruction. The results showed a pattern where students’ errors appeared to be concentrated in contre-sens or TL mistakes. Among the errors associated with note-taking practices, an analysis was performed on words that were either undeciphered or misdeciphered. Examples include omitting keywords written down during interpretation, misinterpretation of metaphors, grammar mistakes and/or awkward use of language due to source language interference, and misinterpretation due to ineffective arrangement of notes and loss of concentration. The relationship between errors commonly made by undergraduate students during CI and their note-taking practices was examined, and diagnoses were presented to help students improve their note-taking skills and interpretation. Also, educational implications and teaching points were proposed.

Haeyoung Jang,Ngoc Tram Oanh Nguyen,Seung-Ho Kwon 이화여자대학교 한국여성연구원 2021 Asian Journal of Women's Studies(AJWS) Vol.27 No.2

Bài viết này nhằmmục đích tìm hiểu mức độ phổ biến và tiêu dùng của giới trẻ Việt Nam đang ngày càng gia tăng đối với văn hóa đại chúng Hàn Quốc, hay còn gọi là Hàn lưu (Làn sóng Hàn Quốc) cũng như xem xét đến các tác động văn hóa xã hội của Hàn lưu tại Việt Nam. Bài viết chủ yếu sử dụng phương pháp phỏng vấn sâu và bảng hỏi khảo sát để thu thập dữ liệu với mục đích xác định xu hướng và ý nghĩa của việc tiêu dùng sản phẩm Hàn lưu trong giới phụ nữ trẻ ở Việt Nam. Kết qủa khảo sát cho thấy việc tiêu thụ các sản phẩm Hallyu của phụ nữ trẻ Việt Nam thể hiện (i) sự xuất hiện một thế hệ phụ nữ mới ở Việt Nam và họ được trao quyền như những người tiêu dùng hiện đại, những người có tác động đến sự lựa chọn của người tiêu dùng và cung cấp thêm thông tin thông qua việc sử dụng các kênh đa dạng, và (ii) thể hiện mong muốn của họ trong việc xây dựng nữ quyền và lối sống hiện đại và mang tính quốc tế dựa trên vai trò và vị thế đang thay đổi của phụ nữ ở Việt Nam. Kết quả nghiên cứu góp phần bổ sung thêm tài liệu nghiên cứu về việc tiêu thụ hàng hoá và truyền thông xuyên quốc gia, cũng như về vấn đề trao quyền cho phụ nữ, đặc biệt ở các nước đang phát triển. This paper aims to explore the growing popularity and consumption of Korean popular culture, known as Hallyu (Originating from Chinese, the Korean term, Hallyu is “Hàn lưu” in Vietnamese and pronounced similarly. During our interviews, we used the latter term, and in our survey we referred to “Korean cultural products”) (Korean Wave) amongst young Vietnamese women and examine its socio-cultural implications. To this end, we used in-depth interviews and a survey questionnaire as the main methods of data collection and endeavored to identify the trends and meaning of young women’s consumption of Hallyu products in Vietnam. Findings suggest that these signify the following: (i) the emergence of a new generation of womanhood in Vietnam and their empowerment as modern consumers who navigate consumer choices and complement information through the use of diverse channels, and (ii) their desire to construct a modern and cosmopolitan femininity and lifestyle underpinned by the changing role and status of women in the country. These findings add to a growing body of literature on the transnational consumption of media and goods as well as on women’s empowerment, especially in developing countries.

The use of Accruals for Tax and Financial Reporting Purposes and Stock Market Response

Haeyoung Ryu,Jeehong Kim 한국회계정보학회 2013 한국회계정보학회 학술대회발표집 Vol.2013 No.1

This study investigates the effect of book tax conformity in Korea on the use of accruals. Specifically, we use a sample of 4,331 Korean firms and decompose their total accruals into book tax accruals and book only accruals. Book tax accruals are defined as accruals that affect both taxable income and reported earnings. Book only accruals are defined as accruals that affect solely reported earnings and have no effect on a firm’s taxable income. We anticipate that managers will decrease taxable income by recording book tax accruals that have relatively high book tax conformity to reduce their tax liability. Managers are expected to attempt to increase book income through book only accruals. We also examine the market response to the firms using these accruals in different directions. Our evidence demonstrates that firms are increasingly using income decreasing book tax accruals to decrease taxable income, and using book only accruals to increase financial income and compensate potential non tax cost such as financial reporting costs. In addition, our results show that the market correctly assess the management of accruals even when the uses of two accruals offset each other.

Purpose: This study was performed to evaluate prognostic factors for survival from first relapse (SFFR) in stage I.III breast cancer patients. Materials and Methods: From June 1994 to June 2008, 3,835 patients were treated with surgery plus postoperative radiotherapy and adjuvant chemotherapy for stage I.III breast cancer at Samsung Medical Center. Among them, a total of 224 patients died by June 2009, and 175 deaths were of breast cancer. Retrospective review was performed on medical records of 165 patients who met the inclusion criteria of this study. Univariate and multivariate analysis were done on survivals according to variables, such as age, stage, hormone status of tumor, disease-free interval (DFI), sites of first failure, number of organs involved by recurrent disease (NOR), application of salvage treatments, and existence of brain or liver metastasis (visceral metastasis). Results: Patients’ median overall survival time was 38 months (range, 8 to 123 months). Median SFFR was 17 months (range, 5 to 87 months). Ninety percent of deaths occurred within 40 months after first recurrence. The patients with SFFR ≤1 year had tendency of triple-negativity, shorter DFI (≤2 years), larger NOR (>3), visceral metastasis for first relapse than the patients with SFFR >1 year. In multivariate analysis, longer DFI (>2 vs. ≤2 years), absence of visceral metastasis, and application of salvage treatments were statistically significant prognosticators for longer SFFR. Conclusion: The DFI, application of salvage treatments, and visceral metastasis were significant prognostic factors for SFFR in breast cancer patients.

Global Functional Analysis of Butanol-Sensitive Escherichia coli and Its Evolved Butanol-Tolerant Strain

( Haeyoung Jeong ),( Seung-won Lee ),( Sun Hong Kim ),( Eun-youn Kim ),( Sinyeon Kim ),( Sung Ho Yoon ) 한국미생물생명공학회(구 한국산업미생물학회) 2017 Journal of microbiology and biotechnology Vol.27 No.6

Butanol is a promising alternative to ethanol and is desirable for use in transportation fuels and additives to gasoline and diesel fuels. Microbial production of butanol is challenging primarily because of its toxicity and low titer of production. Herein, we compared the transcriptome and phenome of wild-type Escherichia coli and its butanol-tolerant evolved strain to understand the global cellular physiology and metabolism responsible for butanol tolerance. When the ancestral butanol-sensitive E. coli was exposed to butanol, gene activities involved in respiratory mechanisms and oxidative stress were highly perturbed. Intriguingly, the evolved butanol-tolerant strain behaved similarly in both the absence and presence of butanol. Among the mutations occurring in the evolved strain, cis-regulatory mutations may be the cause of butanol tolerance. This study provides a foundation for the rational design of the metabolic and regulatory pathways for enhanced biofuel production.
