Emily Dickinson's Homosexual Orientation

Seung-Jin Baek 영미어문학회 2004 영미어문학연구 Vol.20 No.1

Seung-Jin Baek. 2004. Emily Dickinson's Homosexual Orientation. The British & American Language and Literature. 20-1. 115-128. In the Western feminist movement, the division between lesbian and heterosexual women played an important role in the development of the movement. The aim of lesbianism was to articulate connections between lesbianism and feminism and to create new and positive images. Lesbian feminists tried to challenge and supplant the oppressive stereotype which dominated public opinion. While the heterosexual feminist movement is formed in the established male-centered boundaries, lesbian feminists are primarily committed to women. That is, while heterosexual feminists try to achieve authenticity through the male-female relationship, lesbian feminists try to achieve authenticity through identifying themselves with women. Emily Dickinson participated in such relationships with women and practiced the concept of lesbian continuum throughout her life. In the poems dealing with the relationship with male sexuality, Dickinson is always hierarchically inferior to male sexuality which relegates women to sexual and family functions. The male power scorches and scathes her existence. So, Dickinson finds a way to identify and utilize specifically female power in her work and then tries to create a new consciousness which can be shared among women.

Backgrounds Exposure to a toxic stress environment leads to excessive inflammatory reactions and induces allergic asthma resulting in airway hyper-responsiveness. We investigated whether Rosa laevigata Michx. (RL) exhibits anti-inflammatory effects related allergic asthma in both an in vitro and in vivo studies. Methods To investigate the preventive effect of RL, A549 cells were pretreated with non-toxic doses of RL (500, 1000 μg/ mL) and induced by epidermal growth factor (EGF) (10 ng/mL). First, we evaluated cytotoxicity via a MTT assay. The inhibitory effects of NF-κB activity and COX-2 expression were confirmed by a western blot assay. In the in vivo study, BALB/c mice were challenged with regard to ovalbumin via an intraperitoneal injection of RL (50, 100 mg/kg) and were killed to collect bronchoalveolar lavage fluid, lung tissues and blood serum. The number of inflammatory cells, the secretion of IgE and related cytokines were monitored by ELISA and multiplex assays. Results RL significantly suppressed NF-κB activity and COX-2 expression levels in EGF-induced A549 cells. In a chronic inflammation mice model, pretreatment of RL attenuated allergic airway inflammation by reducing inflammatory cells, the secretion of IgE and related cytokines in a dose-dependent manner. Conclusions The results of this study present the possibility of RL as a therapeutic agent for allergic asthma patients via the suppression of IgE and related cytokines.

Objectives The aims of this study are to estimate the prevalence of the DSM-IV psychiatric disorders in the Korean population using the Korean version of Composite International Diagnostic Interview (K-CIDI), and to compare those with previous studies. Methods The Korean Epidemiologic Catchment Area study Replication (KECA-R) was Conducted between August 2006 and April 2007. The sampling of the subjects was carried out across 12 catchment areas. A multistage, cluster sampling design was adopted. The target Population included all eligible residents aged 181o 64 years. Face-to-face interviews were conducted with the Korean version of Composite International Diagnostic Interview (K-CIDI) based on the DSM-IV (N=6,510, response rate=81.7%). Results A total of 6,510 participants completed the interview. The lifetime and 12-month prevalence rates for all types of DSM-IV disorders were 30.0% and 17.3%, respectively. Those of Specific disorders were as follows : 1) alcohol use disorder, 16.2% and 5.6% ; 2) nicotine use disorder, 9.0% and 6.0% ; 3) specific phobia, 3.8% and 3.4% ; 4) major depressive disorder, 5.6% and 2.5% ; and 5) generalized anxiety disorder, 1.6% and 0.8%. Data relating to nicotine and alcohol use disorder revealed a very high male/female ratio. Mood disorder and anxiety disorder were more prevalent among females than males. Conclusion The prevalence of psychiatric disorders was high. In comparison with other studies, remarkable differences in the distribution of psychiatric disorders across the country and times were observed.

Simplified Effective Compressive Strengths of Columns with Intervening Floor Slabs

Seung?Ho Choi,Jin?Ha Hwang,Sun?Jin Han,Hae?Chang Cho,Jae Hyun Kim,Kang Su Kim 한국콘크리트학회 2020 International Journal of Concrete Structures and M Vol.14 No.5

The current design codes discuss the effective compressive strengths of columns, which reflect a decrease in load transfer performance that can occur when columns and slabs have different concrete compressive strengths. The effective compressive strength of a column increases as it is confined by the slab, and the design codes mandate three different effective compressive strengths for interior columns (confinement on four sides), exterior columns (confinement on three sides), and corner columns (confinement on two sides). For both corner and exterior columns, the confinement effect of the slab is significantly smaller than that for the interior column, and there is a more marked decrease in load transfer performance. However, there is still a lack of theoretical studies investigating the effective compressive strengths of the corner and exterior columns. Therefore, based on the analysis model established in previous research, this study has proposed an equation for calculating the effective compressive strengths of the corner, exterior and isolated columns without any confinement effects of the slab. In addition, axial loading tests of isolated columns were conducted and the proposed equation was verified.

A common form of relapse in adenocarcinoma of the stomach is intraperitioneal dissemination, in fact, among gastric adenocarcinoma patients who have undergone surgery intended to cure, approximately 50% of the patients develope initial recurrence in the peritoneal cavity regardless of the anatomic site of the primary tumor within the stomach. The efficacy of systemic postoperative chemotherapy to prevent peritoneal recurrence of gastrric adenocarcinoma is not satisfactory. There is still a great need for improved therapeutic strategies on the disseminated microscopic disease and small miliary nodules remaining on the peritoneal surface or lymphatics after operation. The authers have made fluorouracil-polyglycolic acid composite disks(Fu-PGA disks) with fluorouracil and biodegradable polymer: polyglycolic acid for more effective intraperitoneal chemotherapy. We inserted the Fu-PGA disk(s) in the peritoneal cavity of rat and pharmacokinetic study was performed to measure fluorouracil concentration in the peritoneal fluid, plasma, liver, kidney and heart tissue at 24 hour, 72 hour and 168 hour after insertion of Fu-PGA disk(s). Myelosuppressive action of this composite also was determined following its administration. The data of this study suggested that Fu-PGA composite will be a new device releasing drugs in a controlled manner and having targetability to peritoneum, and this device will be improving the efficacy of intraperitoneal chemotherapy for gastric adenocarcinoma.

It is essential that we put the anticoagulant into the blood specimen of the CBC test. However, the value of some parameters in the CBC test can be changed whenever using some anticoagulants. EDTA anticoagulant is mostly used these days. There are 3 kinds of EDTA, that is K_(2-), K_(3-), and Na_(2-) EDTA. The author studies how many effects each the EDTA gets into the true value of blood specimen for MCV of RBCs. Especially we compared the MCV effect of different concentrations of 3 EDTA anticoagulants on the bias with time and instrument. Some results are gotten. In our results, K_(3-)EDTA anticoagulant shows more satisfactory MCV value than K_(2) or Na_(2-)EDTA. On using concentration of EDTA, 1.5㎎ EDTA/㎖ of blood show more satisfactory MCV value than 7.5㎎ EDTA/㎖ of blood. However, the choice of anticoagulant may be dependant on the different instruments.

연구목적 : 지역사회에 거주하고 있는 중·고등학교 청소년들을 대상으로 자살 사고 및 자살시도의 빈도, 성별과 연령(13∼15세 vs 16∼18세)에 따른 자살사고 및 시도의 빈도에 차이가 있는지 여부, 자살사고 및 자살시도가 있는 청소년의 특징, 그리고 자살시도의 위험요인을 알아보고자 하였다. 방 법 : 부천시에 소재하고 있는 중학교 24개교 및 고등학교 20개교의 청소년 71,102명중에서 무작위 집락 표본 추출범으로 청소년 2,203명(남자 1,105명, 여자 1,098명)을 조사대상으로 선정하였다. 자살시도 및 자살사고의 정의에 관한 항목은 Moscicki가 사용한 자살행동에 관한 4항목 중 2항목을 사용하였다. 우울증에 대한 조사도구는 the Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale, 알코올 의존에 대한 조사도구는 Composite International Diagnostic Interview의 알코올 의존 관련 항목을 사용하였다. 조사자료 통계는 빈도, 백분율, chi-square test, 단변인 및 다변인 로지스틱 회귀분석을 사용하였다. 결 과 : 본 조사연구의 분석결과를 통계적으로 유의한 차이를 보인 항목으로 살펴보면 다음과 같다. 1) 전체 대상자의 자살 사고률은 30.7%, 자살 시도률은 5.3%인 것으로 조사되었다. 남자 대상자의 자살 사고률과 시도률은 26.9%, 3.4%이었고, 여자 대상자의 자살 사고률과 시도률은 34.9%, 7.3%인 것으로 조사되었다. 성별에 따라 자살 사고률과 시도률에 통계적으로 유의한 차이가 있었다. 2) 연령(학년)을 13∼15세(중학교)와 16∼18세(고등학교)의 두 연령층으로 조사하였을 때, 중학생의 자살 사고률과 시도률은 30.1%, 4.3%이었고, 고등학생의 자살 사고률과 시도률은 31.6%, 6.4%인 것으로 조사되었다. 연령에 따른 자살 사고률에는 통계적으로 유의한 차이가 없으나 자살 시도률에는 유의한 차이가 있었다. 3) 전체 조사 대상자를 대상으로 시행한 다변인 로지스틱 회귀 분석 결과에 의하면, 자살 시도의 위험요인이 여자, 알코올 의존, 중등도 및 중증 우울 증상인 것으로 조사되었다. 남녀별로 시행한 단변인 로지스틱 회귀 분석 결과에 의하면, 남자는 알코올 의존이 있을 때, 여자는 알코올 의존, 중등도 및 중증의 우울 증상이 있을 때 자살시도의 위험성이 높았다. 결 론 : 본 연구에서 자살 사고률 및 자살 시도률이 각각 29.6%(남자 25.6%, 여자 33.7%)와 5.31%(남자 3.3%, 여자 7.3%)인 점과 자살시도의 위험요인이 우울 증상의 정도, 알코올 의존인 점을 고려할 때 알코올 의존 및 우울 증상의 조기발견과 치료, 그리고 자살 사고자 및 자살 시도자에 대한 정신의학적 접근과 추적관찰에 대한 방안이 강구되어야 할 것으로 생각된다. Objectives : Aims of this study were 1) to estimate prevalence rates of suicidal ideation and suicide attempt, 2) to find out whether the gender difference and age difference(13-15 years vs 16-18 years) for suicide behaviors exist, 3) to analyse correlates of suicide attempts among junior and high school adolescents aged 13-18 years old. Methods : A self-administered questionnaire was used in a cluster random sample of 2,203 school adolescents(male 1,105, female 1,098). Data were obtained on a wide range of constructs including suicidal ideation and attempts during past 2 weeks, depressive symptoms, symptoms of DSM-IV alcohol dependence, family structure, socioeconomic status, smoking, satisfaction with school achievements, and subjective health status. Chi-square test were done for analysing gender difference and age difference of suicide behaviors. Statistical analyses including uni-variate and multi-variate logistic regression analysis were done for each sex, respectively. Results : 1) The prevalence of suicide ideation during past 2 week was 30.7% in the total sample. The prevalence rates of male and female ideators were 26.9% and 34.9% respectively. The prevalence of suicide attempt during past 2 week was 5.3% in the total sample. The prevalence of suicide attempt in males was 3.4% and 7.3% in females. 2) Gender difference was significant. That is, female respondents showed higher rate of suicidal ideation and suicide attempt. In our study age difference was found only at the rate of suicide attempt. That is, older adolescents(16-18 years) showed only statistically significant higher rate of suicide attempt than younger adolescents(13-15 years). 3) Multi-variate logistic regression analysis revealed that the correlates for suicide attempt were female, moderate to severe depressive symptoms, alcohol dependence in the total sample. In males the correlate for suicide attempt was alcohol dependence. In females, were moderate to severe depressive symptoms, and alcohol dependence. Conclusion : Depressive symptoms, alcohol dependence, presence of suicidal ideation were strong predictors for suicide attempts. This suggest that early detection of treatment of depression and alcohol dependence is important and psychiatric approach and follow-up be needed for the prevention of suicide.

기주특이적 독소 생성 Alternaria spp.와 비병원성 A. alternata의 계통분류학적 유연관계를 규명하기 위하여 기주특이적 독소 생성 Alternaria 6균, 비병원성인 A. alternata 그리고 비교균으로서 소형포자를 형성하는 A. brassicicola, 대형포자를 형성하는 A. solani의 ribosmal DNA의 5.8S를 포함한 ITS영역의 염기 서열을 분석하였던 바 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 1. Alternaria spp.의 rDNA ITS영역의 염기서열 크기는 548∼562bp였으며 5.8S rDNA에서는 비교종간에 서로 일치하였고 ITS I에서는 종간 뚜렷한 차이를 보였다. 2. 기주특이적 독소 생성 Alternaria spp.의 rDNA의 ITS영역의 염기서열은 비병원성인 A. alternata의 염기서열과는 서로 일치하였으나 A. brassicicola와는 3%, A. solani와는 7%의 염기서열 차를 보였다. 3. 기주특이적 독소 생성 Alternaria spp.는 비병원성 A. alternata와 진화적으로 매우 가까운 유연관계를 나타내었다. The regions of internal transcribed spacer(ITS) including 5.8S ribosomal DNA(rDXA) from six host-specific toxin(HST) producing Alternaria spp. nonpathogenic A. alternata. A. solani and A. brassicicola were sequenced to assess their relationship in taxonomy. There was no difference in the sequences of ITS including 5.8S rDNA among the HST-producing Alternaria spp. and nonpathogenic A. alternata. However, the sequences of HST-producing Alternaria spp. were different from those of A. solani and A. brassicicola by about 7% and 3%, respectively. These results suggest that HST-producing Alternaria spp. are evolutionarily very close to non pathogenic A. alternata although they have host-specific pathogenecity.
