일본풍의 중국 모에화 게임들이 최근 수년 간 한국 모바일 게임 시장에서 성공을 거두고 있다. 소녀 전선 등에서 시작된 이런 움직임은 2018년 벽람항로로 이어졌다. 함선 의인화 게임인 벽람항로 등은 여성 캐릭터의 선정적인 일러스트가 특징이며 소녀 전선 등의 과도한 노출과 선정성은 등급 재분류 제재를 받기도 했다. 벽람항로는 상당수의 청소년 남성 사용자층을 갖고 있어 여성 캐릭터의 과도한 선정성은 유해하다고 볼 수 있다. 본 논문은 벽람항로 게임에 나타난 300여 종의 여성 캐릭터 스킨을 분석하여 여기에 나타난 섹시즘이 단순히 특정 부위의 노출 뿐 아니라 캐릭터의 소속 국가별로 의상이 정형화 되어 있음을 밝힌다. 즉, 중국과 일본은 기모노나 치파오 같은 전통 의상이 중심이고 영국은 제복과 메이드복의 비중이 상당하고, 독일은 제복을 주로 착용하게 함으로써 해당 국가 여성의 성적 오브젝트화와 고정관념을 조성할 수 있다. 또 이런 기본 스킨이 수영복으로 유료 전환되면 상당한 노출이 이루어져 선정성을 특히 강조한다는 점에서 19금 게임이라 해도 이런 과도한 섹시즘은 여성에 대한 부정적 성 대상화 우려가 있다.

For globalization of Korean food, It is essential to research and analyze target markets in advance. However until recently, there has been a lack of food research in regions of select countries in order to create systematic plans for marketing Korean foods. Therefore this study aimed to investigate the recognition of Korean foods as compared to other Asian foods in young adults living in Vaxjo, Sweden. Over 90 percent of the Swedish students had experienced Thai and Chinese cuisines, indicating their popularity as Asian foods in Sweden. The participants were attracted to six positive attributes of Asian food: 'fresh vegetables', 'low fat', 'chicken and sea food', 'exotic ingredients', 'good value for the money' and 'unknown foods'. The favorite type of Asian food was Thai food and Korean food was the least tried, as over 50% of respondents linked it to 'unknown food' attributes. Based on these results, in order to introduce Korean food more successfully, focus should be placed on the unique and unknown attributes of Korean food, as well as emphasis placed on its healthfulness, to stimulate the curiosity of target markets such as young Swedish adults.

Angiostrongyliasis is difficult to be diagnosed for the reason that no ideal method can be used. Serologic tests require specific equipment and are not always available in poverty-stricken zone and are time-consuming. A lateral flow immunoassay (LFIA) may be useful for angiostrongyliasis control. We established a LFIA for the diagnosis of angiostrongyliasis based on 2 monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) against antigens of Angiostrongylus cantonensis adults. The sensitivity and specificity were 91.1% and 100% in LFIA, while those of commercial ELISA kit was 97.8% and 86.3%, respectively. Youden index was 0.91 in LFIA and 0.84 in commercial ELISA kit. LFIA showed detection limit of 1 ng/ml of A. cantonensis ES antigens. This LFIA was simple, rapid, highly sensitive and specific, which opened an alternative approach for the diagnosis of human angiostrongyliasis.

A statistical analysis was conducted using SPSS12.0 for Windows and SEM using AMOS 5.0 statistics package. The reliability of these findings was supported by a Cronbach's alpha coefficient of 0.6 and higher for all the factors. In an attempt to study the level of satisfaction with convenience food in accordance to dietary style and the quality of life of singles, a structural equation model was constructed and analyzed. RESULTS: Of the three countries, regarding the effect of dietary style on singles' quality of life, the convenience-oriented style was found to have a negative effect on Korean singles' overall quality of life, but a positive effect on Japanese singles' overall quality of life, and a negative effect on Chinese singles' positive psychological aspect of quality of life. In addition, although Chinese singles have a high level of interest in health, they have an overall high level of satisfaction regarding fast food and its nutritional value. CONCLUSIONS: The number of singles in Korea, Japan, and China has been consistently increasing in recent years, and there is a need for continuous interest in their healthy dietary lifestyles in terms of convenience, economy, and taste.

This study explored types and characteristics of South Korean crossover picturebooks that are enjoyed across generations. Participants included three publishers, six critics, six illustrators and three picturebook researchers, and focused on 92 South Korean recommended picturebooks published from 1995 to 2014 as the research material for this study. The majority of Korean crossover picturebook type was story, followed by information and art. There were few wordless books. Common themes of the story picturebooks were contemplation, traditional culture, social changes (such as immigration and redevelopment), reminiscence, social relations, loss and death, family problems, and social incidents. Classic essays and novels were revised for picturebooks as were famous poems originally written for grown-ups. Informational books were about traditions in music, architecture, furniture and special occasions like wedding and ceremonies. The style of the drawings were precise and realistic. Some drawings were done by brush and Chinese ink on hanji (traditional Korean paper) or silk. Some books featured Korean calligraphy as well, enabling adult readers to also appreciate the beauty and delicacy of the books. Art books and wordless books were quite rare and exhibited a playful tone. Adults alone were not presumed to be the primary reading audience of the picture books. Implications were made for picturebook marketing in a society such as South Korea, where the elderly population is rapidly increasing. Various forms of art books and parodies were also welcome. One conclusion of the study was that more experimental and innovative works would be encouraging for the development of South Korean crossover picturebooks.

이 논문은 한국어-중국어(=KC) 이중언어자의 문장 처리 전략을 실험적으로 연구하여 한국어 단일언어자의 문장 처리 전략과 비교함으로써 (1) KC 이중 언어에 나타나는 문장 처리 전략의 전반적 특징을 밝히고, (2) 제 1 언어 처리 전략과 제 2 언어 처리 전략 간의 간섭이 이중 언어 발달에 영향을 줄 수 있음을 보이는 것을 목적으로 한다. 이를 위해 우리는 중국 연변 조선족 집거촌의 만 3세부터 성인에 이르는 다양한 연령 집단에서 166 명의 피험자를 모집하여 실시간 주어/행동주 판정 실험을 실시하였다 (cf. Liu, Bates & Li, 1992). 실험 결과를 한국어 단일언어자 대상의 이전 연구와 비교하여 다음 결론에 도달하였다. 첫째, 한국어 단일언어 아동은 3-4세 경 생물성 (animacy)에 근거해 문장의 주어/행동주를 판별하는 반면, KC 이중언어 아동은 생물성 전략 이외에도 어순 전략을 많이 활용한다. 둘째. KC 이중언어자가 주어/행동주 판별에 형태소를 활용하는 시기는 10세 이후로 한국어 단일언어 아동의 5세 경과 비교하여 많이 늦다. 셋째, 한국어 단일언어자 성인은 형태소 전략을 최우선적으로 활용하는 반면, KC 이중언어자는 성인이 되어서도 형태소 전략 이외에 생물성 전략과 어순 전략을 적극적으로 활용한다. KC 이중언어자의 언어 수행은 생물성과 어순이 중요한 중국어의 영향을 받은 것으로 보이며, 이는 Liu, Bates & Li (1992)가 제안하는 조기이중언어자의 전략 후행 전이를 지지하는 결과라 할 수 있다.
