나다니엘 호손은 죄와 벌에 관한 윤리적인 문제들을 작품의 주제로 다루는 경우가 많다. 그가 제시한 이러한 주제들을 통해 독자는 인간 내면을 더 심층적으로 바라볼 수 있는 기회를 가진다. 그는 "라파치니의 딸"에서 남성들의 권력이 한 여성의 삶에 어떻게 영향을 끼치고 그녀를 파멸로 몰고 가게 되는지에 대한 내용을 다루었다. 우선 그녀의 아버지 라파치니 박사는 자신의 정원에 독성을 가진 식물을 재배하면서 자신의 딸인 베아트리체에게도 치명적인 독성을 부여하는 이기적인 과학실험을 자행한다. 이 실험이 베아트리체를 지키기 위한 것이라고 말하지만 결국 그녀의 파멸에 원인을 제공한다. 베아트리체와 사랑에 빠지게 된 지오바니는 그녀와 함께 독성으로부터 해독되고자 하는 마음으로 해독제를 건네주었지만 그녀가 직접적으로 죽음에 이르도록 하였다. 마지막으로 발리오니는 자신의 사회적 지위를 지키기 위해 지오바니를 이용하여 베아트리체가 해독제를 마시도록 조종한 인물이다. 따라서 세 남자의 이기심과 질투심 같은 악의 고리가 서로 엉켜서 베아트리체를 파멸로 이끌어 갔으므로 결국 그녀의 죽음은 그녀 자신이 품고 있는 독성 때문이 아닌 외부의 독성, 즉 남성의 이기적인 권력에 의해 파멸된 것으로 볼 수 있다.

High iron consumption is associated with an increased risk of cancer possibly via production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) which in turn induces oxidative damage to lipids, proteins and DNA. The aim of the study was to determine whether Fe-NT A causes DNA damage and targets TP 53 in human peripheral lymphocytes. (omitted)

Since its defeat in the Second World War, Japan has been fostering good ties with Western countries, especially the United States. However, some East Asian leaders emboldened by their countries' economic success have proclaimed that the future belongs to Asia and have put forward the "Asian values" argument. It is interesting to note that some elements of the "Asian values" argument resemble ultranationalist discourse that was dominant in Japan before the war. The Japanese Government had a great opportunity to reappraise its role in international politics and take stock of its economic and diplomatic relations with East Asian countries after the end of the Cold War. To meet future challenges, Japan should fully overcome anti-Western sentiment and participate in establishing a truly democratic East Asian regionalism based on the "universal values" of human rights, democracy and freedom. This may prove to be one of the biggest challenges for Japan's East Asia policy in the new century.

The paper chooses the "Asian Financial Crisis" as a case study to examine its impact on Malaysian economy and describes how Malaysian government responded to the crisis. It also focuses on the Asian financial crisis' impact on the employment of banking sector in Malaysia. In the finance, insurance, real estate and business service sector, a number of 6,596 workers were retrenched. Banks were forced into mergers and acquisition as well as downsizing, trim lean, organizational changes and introduction of new technologies. Excess workers were offered a "voluntary separation scheme." These retrenched workers became the urban poor facing high cost of living and no opportunity for jobs as there is no safety net provided.

Frame structures have been traditionally represented as an assembling of components, these last described within the beam theory framework. In the case of frames involving complex components in which classical beam theory could fail, 3D descriptions seem the only valid route for performing accurate enough analyses. In this work we propose a framework for frame structure analyses that proceeds by assembling the condensed parametric rigidity matrices associated with the elementary beams composing the beams involved in the frame structure. This approach allows a macroscopic analysis in which only the condensed degrees of freedom at the elementary beams interfaces are considered, while fine 3D parametric descriptions are retained for local analyses.

We present a few significant advances in methods and concepts of magnetic measurements, aimed both at providing novel routes in the characterization of hard and soft magnetic materials and at improving our basic knowledge of the magnetization process. We discuss, in particular, investigation methods and experimental arrangements that have been developed in recent times for: 1) Hysteresis loop determination in extra-hard magnets by means of Pulsed Field Magnetometry; 2) Broadband observation of domain wall dynamics by highspeed stroboscopical Kerr techniques; 3) Entropy measurements in magnetocaloric materials by calorimetry in magnetic field. While pertaining to somewhat independent fields of investigation, all these measuring techniques have in common a solid approach to the underlying physical phenomenology and have a potential for further developments.

From 1953 to 2015, approximately 200,000 children born in Korea were adopted into foreign countries. Many studies have focused on Korean adoptees growing up in the US, as the majority of these children were adopted by American families. In comparison, research on Korean transracial adoptees raised in European countries is limited. Thus, the current study aims to highlight the journey of Korean transracial adoptees from Europe to Korea. Three participants narrated their life stories as adoptees in two separate interview sessions. The findings of this study call attention to the adoptees' ongoing reconsideration of their identity as they assimilate life experiences within two disparate cultural settings in Europe and Korea. The study found that ambiguous loss faced by the adoptees from their childhood in Europe continued to their adulthood in Korea. Major themes of the participants' narratives in their journey from Europe to Korea focused on their feelings of loss and the lack of belongingness. This study found that the sense of loss and the lack of belongingness changed over time. Participants were active agents in the process of their journey from Europe to Korea, as they constantly worked to adapt to and improve their situation in face of adversity.
