The Naebang Gasa Revisited : Yangban Women's Discourse as a Means for the Confirmation Self-identity

Shin, Eun Kyung Research Institute of Asian Women Sookmyung Women' 2005 Asian Women Vol.21 No.-

The naebang gasa or "inner-room gasa" is widely believed to be a poetic genre written in hangŭl, which was mainly composed by yangban women of Yŏngnam Province and flourished in the late Chosŏn period. As the social ranking system was destabilized in this period for various reasons, the yangbans or the ruling class began to feel a sense or crisis in maintaining their social status and already-acquired privileges. It was, therefore, needed for the ruling class to strengthen the Confucian practical ethic of personal autonomy and responsibility, distribute and infuse it to the commoners in order to facilitate their governing act and overcome the critical situation. The yŏllyŏ jŏn ("Biographies of Faithful Women") by yangban male literati and the naebang gasa by yangban women, both of which appeared in large quantities in this period, need to be understood as a way to find the solution of the critical situation. The gyenyŏ ga and the jatan ga, two subtypes of the naebang gasa, differ from each other in that the focus of the former is put to foreground the role of mother and that of the latter is placed to display the laments of an individual woman. On this basis, we can characterize the gyenyŏ ga as "the song of 'I' as a mother" who successfully completed her entry into the position of a matriarch, and the jatan ga as "the song of 'I' as a woman" who, in a sense, failed to carry out the task. If the former has greater affinity with "a sense of family," the latter with "the rise of self-consciousness." The naebang gasa secures a significant position in Korean literary history, because it functioned as a means for the confirmation of women's "sense of existence as a mother or as a woman."

Shin, Kyung-sik 2001. An Approach bo Structural and Thematic Binding. The Lineuistic Association of Korea Journal, 9(2), 23-48. Chomsky (1981, 1986) and Chomsky and Lesnik (1993), among others, develop a theory of anaphora, the structural binding theory, in which the structural neticns of "c-command" and "government" are central ones. Pointing out some empirical problems with the structural binding theory, Reinhart and Reuland (1991, 1993) and develop a theory of anaphora, the thematic binding theory, in which the notion of the argument structure of a predicative head is a central one. Pointing cut some problems with the thematic binding theory, I will propose the structural and thematic binding theory, into which important insists from both the structural binding theory and the thematic binding theory are incorporated.

The Meaning of Nature in Robert Frost’s Poetry

Won Kyung Shin 한국영미어문학회 2015 영미어문학 Vol.- No.116

Won Kyung Shin. 2015. The Meaning of Nature in Robert Frost’s Poetry. Studies in British and American Language and Literature 116, 83-98. This study aims to examine the particular meaning of nature in Robert Frost’s poetry. Frost is usually considered a nature poet or a farmer poet because he lived as a farmer and nature significantly influenced his poetry. However, his view on nature is different from other nature poets’. To him, nature is not a romantic subject and it is not an object to admire, either. In some of his poetry, nature, being unfavorable and even threatening to men, is the place where people struggle for existence. This paper, studying some of Frost’s poems such as “Storm Fear,” “Lodged,” “The Last Word of a Bluebird” and “Out, Out―,” examines the meaning of nature in his poetry. In many of his poems, Frost does not feel unity with nature as it neither inspires man nor gives him peace. In some of his poems nature exists as a menace to man’s survival and the poet metaphorically describes human nature. Frost believes that real nature poetry does not describe nature itself, but portrays human beings in nature. So, Frost’s nature poetry is full of insights and deep understanding of man and life.

The purpose of this study is to determine the effective height of the noise barrier for the highway Sky-Line Project. It builds upon previous studies that analyzed soundproofing measures of roads and their surrounding residential areas. Although many soundproofing measures have been established along the road side, this study has the added distinction of considering residential noise prevention measures as well as the Soundproofing system itself. The process of this study is as follows. First, it took field surveys to check the existing physical states of the noise barrier, roads, and residences along the Kyung-bu highway in Seoul area. Second, this study conducted and analyzed surveys targeting road side residents, highway drivers, specialists in architecture, urban planning and design, landscape, road, noise, and transportation. Third, it calculated the optional height of the noise barrier for a comfortable driving environment and building the Sky-Line on the Highway, applying and checking its results on a case study. Finally, we verified the height on the Kyung-bu highway using the HW-NOISE simulation program.

In this rapid changing period, the study about traditional life is necessary to preserve our culture. Un Moon Sa Buddist nuns' school was chosen for this study because that temple could be the last place to be affected by modern western culture. The purpose of this survey was to find out the change of traditional living pattern of Buddist nuns and lighting conditions of their school(Un Moon shool for Buddist nuns), and to compare it with last survey in 1985. The results of the survey were as follows. 1) Nuns' living area was enlarged as much as about 2.5 times since 1985 and leisure space too. 2) Students' living schedule was not changed so much since 1985, but the distance of moving trace was increased because of addition of working time. 3) Their private living pattern was almost sitting style on the floor as ever, but the public space such as ones for guests, leisure and kitchen were transferred to chair -using style. 4) The average rate of daylight of nuns' living space was 1.3% during day time and average illumination was 33 Lux during night time. So their lighting conditions was insufficient for reading books.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to describe the using pattern of alternative therapies in the elderly. Method: 197 subjects, persons who were more than 60 years old, we interviewed. We modified and complemented Shin's(2000) instrument in accordance with purpose of this study. Data were analyzed statistically by using SAS program. Result: 1. It was shown that 66.84% of subjects have utilized one or more types of alternative therapy. 2. It was shown that the most frequently used types are acupuncture (48.83%), and ethmoid bone therapy (42.75%). 3. Acupuncture was shown to be the most satisfactory type of therapy (14.50%). 4. There was a significant difference in the use ratio by sex; female 73.47% and male 60.20%. 5. Among users of alternative therapies, the most frequent responses to each question were as follows: 1. Motive of Use - "for complete cure of symptoms" (32.31%). 2. Side effects - "no side effects" (95.97%). Conclusion: We found that elderly persons used alternative therapies more frequently than others perpulations. Diet therapy and Hand therapy were most commonly used in older people. Although the elderly use alternative therapy, they cannot place confidence in its scientific reliability. Therefore, we need to examine the effects of alternative therapy.

This study was performed to evaluate the effectiveness of a nutrition education program developed for nutritionally imbalanced adolescents. A summer nutrition camp was held for 23 overweight and 16 underweight subjects. Its effectiveness with regard to was evaluated at the end of the camp and 6 months later. Nutrition knowledge, nutritional attitude, food behavior, nutrient intake, exercise habit and ideal body figures desired by the subjects. The results showed significantly higher nutrition knowledge scores at the end of the camp as compared to those obtained prior to the camp program, and these scores were maintained for at least six months. Nutrition attitude scores also improved after the education program, and these improved scores also lasted for 6 months. However, the food behavior scores measured 6 months after the education program were not significantly different from those obtained prior to the camp. Also, the exercise habit, the ideal body figures and the body figures desired by the subjects remained unchanged. When nutrient intakes of subjects were assessed before the program and 6 months later, the mean daily vitamin C intake was significantly increased after the education program. Also, the intake of iron from plant food sources increased in the overweight subjects, while less iron from animal source were consumed by the underweight subjects. Both groups tended to consume more vegetables and fruits 6 months after the education program which may have contribute to the higher vitamin C and plant-based iron intakes. These results indicate that a 4-day nutrition education camp program sustained changes in nutrition knowledge and nutrition attitude for 6 months. The increased intake of vegetables and fruits was also achieved through this education program. However, changes in dietary behavior in adolescents may require repeated education.

환기정도에 따른 수술실용 신발 종류가 수술실 오염에 미치는 영향 : How to Choose Suitable Shoes?

Background : Various types of protective footwear have been used to minimize bacterial contamination in operating rooms. In recent years, debate has arisen concerning the need for use of such protective footwear. This study was designed to provide useful data about choosing shoes most suitable for the surgical environment. Methods : Between November, 1999 and January, 2000, we performed this experimental study by comparing effect of three types of shoes (i.e., disposable shoescover, operating room-restricted shoes, and ordinary shoes) on bacterial contamination of operating rooms equipped with two different ventilation systems (i.e., high air-change, low air-change) respectively. Data were collected during two-hour sham operations in which subjects and their activities were strictly standardized. Bacterial flora were sampled from the study area floor and air colony-counts were measured. Results : In experiments involving high air-change ventilation system, there was a significant difference of floor contamination between three types of shoes, but no difference of air contamination. Under low air-change system, there was a significant difference of both floor and air contamination between three types of shoes. Conclusion : The results show that protective footwear would be unnecessary in the operating room with high air-change ventilation system, but it is important to choose suitable shoes carefully under low air-change system. Therefore, the use of outdoor shoes can be considered under high air-change system, but it would seem sensible to apply their first use in less bloody operations at the day surgery center or out-patient department to prevent transfer of body fluid into the outside environment.
