여자들은 오늘도 브래지어로 가슴을 세우고 스키니진 차림의 날렵한 모습으로 거리를 활보한다. 도심의 비즈니스맨도 잘 면도된 목선 위로 넥타이를 조여 매며 협상과 프리젠테이션을 주도해나간다. 모두다 스마트하고 열정적인 장면들이다. 하지만 몸을 조이는 스키니진과 브래지어, 넥타이의 해악은 생각 외로 크다.

사람은 누구나 무병장수하길 바란다. 그것이 곧 최상의 행복이기 때문이다. 무병장수의 길은 뭐니 뭐니 해도 우리 몸의 활력을 지탱해 주는 식생활에서 찾아야 한다. 몸에 약이 되는 먹거리는 우리 주변에 무제한으로 널려 있다. 자신의 몸에 맞는 음식을 잘 섭취한다면 보약을 먹지 않아도 건강을 충분히 지킬 수 있다.

몸은 우리에게 시시때때로 건강 신호를 보낸다. 피로감이나 근육 떨림, 충혈, 두통 등 그 형태도 무척 다양하다. 위장 또한 예외가 아니다. 그중에서도 가장 솔직하고도 원초적인 것은 몸에서 풍기는 다양한 냄새들이다. 몸에서 나는 냄새의 정체를 정확히 알면 걱정은 덜고 건강관리는 쉬워진다.

방사선들 중에서 감마선은 우리의 몸 속을 깊숙이 침투할 수 있다. 그런 감마선이 우리 몸을 투과할 때, 체세표를 이룬 원자들의 궤도전자들과 충돌하면서 소멸된다. 우리는 그런 현상들을 물질과의 상호작용 이라 부른다. 방사선과 물질과의 상호작용은 원자의 단위에서 일어난다. 감마선이 물질과의 상호작용들은 물리적으로는 광전자 산란 효과, 컴프턴 산란 효과 그리고 전자쌍 생성효과 등으로 구분하여 설명된다. 방사선이 우리의 몸 속에서 체세포의 원자와 충돌하여 생기는 자유전자들은 몸 속에 남게 되고, 그들은 몸 속을 상당 기간 동안 배회하면서 인체의 생명 현상을 유지시킬 생화학 작용의 기능들을 약화시키기도 하고, 악성인 암세포들을 만들어내기도 하므로 건강 유지에 불리하게 작용한다. 따라서 감마선에 쪼여 생긴 자유전자들은 우리의 정상적인 건강 조건들을 해치는 주된 요소가 된다.

당뇨병은 단순히 혈당이 높은 병이 아니다. 혈당이 높은 상태로 오랫 동안 지속되면 우리 몸의 여러 곳에 문제가 생길 수 있는데 그 대표적인 곳이 눈의 망막과 콩팥(신장), 그리고 신경이다. 신경이란 뇌에서 나와 우리 몸의 구석구석까지 뻗어 있는 나뭇가지라고 생각하면 되는데 특히 뇌에서 우리 몸의 손끝, 발끝에 있는 근육에 명령을 보내 몸을 움직이게 하거나 반대로 손끝, 발끝에서 느끼는 여러 감각을 뇌에 전달하는 역할을 하는 신경을 말초신경이라고 한다. 말초신경에 문제가 생기면 뇌가 손, 발에 내리는 명령을 수행할 수 없거나(손, 발을 제대로 움직이지 못함), 손, 발에서 느끼는 여러 감각을 뇌로 전달하지 못해 감각을 느끼지 못하게 된다. 말초신경이 손상되는 이유는 당뇨병 외에도 영양결핍, 납중독, 약물, 신부전증, 갑상선기능 저하증 등 여러 가지가 있으나 말초신경이 손상되는 가장 흔한 원인은 당뇨병이 오래되고 혈당이 조절되지 않아서 생기는 '당뇨병으로 인한 신경합병증'이다.

Exploring the relationship between body and technology in gender studies, this paper argues that 'being women' as an analytical concept is not fixed but progressing, that is, 'becoming women.' In the age of neo-liberalism, gender and identity politics raised critical questions regarding the relations between women and technology. Understanding these dynamic relations asks us to reconsider the concept of 'body.' Thus, this study begins with a review of the discourses of body in feminism and gender studies. Then, it continues to the meaning of technology in body and gender relations, arguing that body is the discursive and material site where gender identity and being are simultaneously constructed. An introduction of cyberfeminism, which focuses on the triangular relations among body, gender, and technology follows, discussing the significance of technology in 'becoming women.' Finally, it is argued that finding the meanings of technology in becoming women requires reconsidering the discursive and performative construction of body. 'Becoming women' can be achieved through exploration of the articulations and processes of body, gender and technology, which allows us to figure out the (re)construction of gender identity.

A study was planned to see if the Panax Ginseng has any influence upon the body weight of young rats. Thirty-two male an4 an equal number of female rats were used, whose body weight at the experiment ranged from 35 to 40 gm. The male as well as the female rats were divided into the ginseng and the saline groups of 16 rats each. For 54 consecutive days animals belonging to ginseng and the saline groups received every day 0.5 ml Per 100gm body weight of ginseng extract and an equal amount of saline, respectively, and had eir body weight measured every 3rd day. The ginseng extract was prepared by seething 300 gm of Korean Panax Ginseng with 95% ethyl alcohol on a boiling water bath for about 300 hr and dissolving 4 mg of the yield (52.2gm of dark brown substance) in 1 ml of saline. Results obtained were as follows: 1. For about 30 days from the beginning of drug administration, the body weight of both the male and female rats belonging to the ginseng groups did not differ significantly from that of the saline groups. 2. From around the 30th experimental day (body weight: about 130 gm) on, however, both the male and female rats receiving ginseng gained in body weight significantly more than the saline-group animals of both sexes did. 3. In the latter period, male rats of the ginseng as well as the saline groups, but especially the ginseng male animals, picked up significantly more weight compared with the female rats. It is concluded from the above results that in rats the ginseng helps gain in body weight regardless of sex.

The majority of previous researchers on body management practices including plastic surgery has agreed that there is a strong connection between social demands of plastic surgery and public exposures of beautiful body-images, which this research intends to analyze further. This study, on the one hand, discovers how body-images are produced and consumed through clinical practices of plastic surgery, particularly, surgeon-patient consultation processes based on the researcher's participant observation on a plastic surgery clinic in Korea, and shows how visualization technologies are mobilized to reconstruct not only boundaries of patients' bodies but also those of medical disciplines by viewing plastic surgery practices as knowledge production activities, on the other hand. While revealing that surgeon-patient consultation is the process to transform patient's bodies to "scientific" objects and visualization technologies have been made to help plastic surgeons to make their disciplines "scientific" ones, this article also pays attention to complicated effects of new imaging technology beyond a mere means of "scientification" of plastic surgery.

This study aimed to glean lessons for desirable early childhood physical education programs by contouring the current paradigms on body or physical activities in the area of early education for young children. It also aimed to analyze their postures while participating in daily activities. The research method for analysis of children's postures while doing daily activities was OWAS(Ovako Working Posture Analysing System) which has been extensively used in ergonomics. Components of data analysis have been redesigned on the basis of information gathered from OWAS with the help of ergonomic experts. The results showed different percentages of children's movements according to activities such as whole class meeting, small group activity and outdoor activity. Small group and outdoor activities can be considered the most desirable physical activities not only for cognitive and social development but also for physical development. And it is recommended to reconstruct the quality and nature of whole class meetings in order to coordinate the physical nature of young children.

This article analysis the aesthetics of metal-body of (1989) and its metamorphosis of dehumanization through visual desires expressed by body images. This paper suggests theoretical analysis based on aesthetic views to understand the underlying meanings. The research categorizes three types of images; surreal image, grotesque image and eros image from the metamorphosis of dehumanization and transformation throughout the film. As the surreal image, the metamorphic process of transformation, demolition, derangement, illusion, and human desire continues to reflect the evil side of a human in everyday life. It also visualizes the images of exaggeration through weakness and bizarre side of metal-body. The grotesque image of body metamorphosis displays and symbolizes double-sides of bizarre and weak side of human in the everyday environment when malformation reaches its peak when Tetsuo finally shows his transforming figure. Finally, the eros image is analogized as a man's inner self and self-destruction in surreal world and a grotesque figure when overwhelming desire of transforming into rebirth of a perfect metal-body, Tetsuo. The surreal image, grotesque image, and eros image portraits human desires inner and outer-self into visualized image and that represents the means of excessive desire for dreaming of world domination with merging non-organic medium of metal and organic body to create a perfect body-image.
