The purpose of this study was to survey the perception and preference for Korean food among Chinese students residing in Korea (Chinese foreign students, N=69) and China (Chinese-locals, N=98). A total of 76.8% of Chinese foreign students and 70.4% of Chinese-locals had ever eaten Korean food in China before visiting Korea, and motivation to try Korean food at first was 'easy access to Korean food restaurants' (Chinese foreign students 38.6%, Chinese-locals 44.9%). The most important factors in selecting Korean food were 'taste' and 'price' (Chinese foreign students 72.7% and 18.2%, Chinese-locals 59.1% and 22.7%, respectively), and needed improvements for Korean food were 'spicy and salty taste' and 'nutritional aspect' (Chinese foreign students 54.5% and 25.8%, Chinese-locals 33.3% and 36.4%, p<0.05). The scores for perception of Korean food were significantly lower in Chinese-locals (2.99) than in Chinese foreign students (3.31)(p<0.001). Chinese foreign students preferred Bulgogi (20.5%), Neobiani (20.1%), and Galbijjim (17.9%), whereas Chinese-locals preferred Bulgogi (16.1%), Gimbap (16.1%), and Samgyetang (15.2%) (p<0.001). The most preferred condiment was 'Garlic' (18.0%) in Chinese foreign students, and 'Red pepper powder' (16.4%) in Chinese-locals. The results of the study can be used as a foundation to prepare a globalization strategy for Korean Food.

Background: Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the most common gastrointestinal cancer and the incidence is increasing. CRC is more common with increasing age, but a proportion occurs in young adults, termed young CRC. This study assessed the incidence and the demographic of young CRC in Brunei Darussalam. Materials and Methods: All histologically proven CRC between 1986 and 2014 registered with the Department of Pathology cancer registry were reviewed and data extracted for analyses. Young CRC was defined as cancer in patients aged less than 45 years. The various population groups were categorized into locals (Malays, Chinese and Indigenous) and expatriates. Results: Over the study period, there were 1,126 histologically proven CRC (mean age $59.1{\pm}14.7$ years, Male 58.0%, Locals 91.8% and 8.2% expatriates). Young CRC accounted for 15.1% with the proportion declining over the years, from 29% (1986-1990) to 13.2% (2011-2014). The proportion of young CRC was highest among the indigenous (30.8%), followed by the expatriates (29.3%), Malays (14.3%) and lowest among the Chinese (10.8%). The mean age of young CRC was $35.9{\pm}6.2$; lowest among the indigenous ($33.5{\pm}6.7$), expatriate ($34.9{\pm}6.0$) groupd and the Malays ($35.6{\pm}6.5$) compared to the Chinese ($38.6{\pm}4.6$), a similar trend being observed in the non-young CRC groups. There were no difference between the genders and tumor locations (rectum or colon) between the young and the non-young CRC cases. Female young CRC was significantly younger than male (p<0.05) without any significant variation between the various population groups (p>0.05). Conclusions: Our study showed that the young CRC accounted for 15.1% of all CRC with declining trend observed over recent years. Young CRC was more common among indigenous, expatriates and Malays and least common among the Chinese. There were no differences in the gender and tumor locations.

본 연구의 목적은 구기자를 새로이 재배하고자 하는 사람들이나 재배면적을 늘이고자 하는 사람들에게 구기자의 경영실태 및 소득과 투자 수익성을 분석하여 투자에 대한 정보를 제공하고자 하는 것이다. 수익성 분석기법은 IRR, B/C Ratio, NPV를 이용하였다. 구기자 주산단지인 충남 청양, 전남 진도지역의 52가구의 구기자 재배농가를 대상으로 2009년 5월부터 9월까지 작업공정별 투입노동 및 자재비 등에 관해 면접방문조사를 실시하였다. 그 결과 현지판매가격과 투자수익성의 판단기준이 되는 가격을 기준으로 IRR, B/C Ratio, 조수익, 소득, 순수익, 소득율 등을 구하였다. 할인율 3%를 적용하였다. 최근 5년간 농가평균판매가격 kg당 15,000원은 B/C Ratio가 0.89로 나타나 투자수익성이 없는 것으로 나타났다. 적어도 수익성을 맞출려면 IRR=3.00%, B/C Ratio=1.00을 나타내는 구기자 판매가격이 16,800원/kg이상이 되어야 한다고 판단되며, 이때의 소득율은 21.75%인 것으로 나타났다.

The purpose of this study is two-fold: first, to discuss the concept of health diplomacy and the Korean government's response to contain the COVID-19 pandemic; second, to assess and compare assumptions of variances about foreigners' perceptions of how Korea is leveraging digital technology in battling the coronavirus spread, and its vaccine campaign; through the lenses of Chinese, Filipino, and Pakistani foreign nationals who are currently living in Korea. A total of 219 foreigners responded to the survey. The collected data were analyzed as percentages, mean averages, t-test, and ANOVA for statistical analysis. Results show that Korea is utilizing its digital technology practices and vaccine campaign in battling the pandemic through efforts of health diplomacy. ANOVA indicated significant results and assumptions of variance across three ethnic groups showing the Pakistani population had higher mean scores than the Chinese and Filipino about Korea's health diplomacy during the pandemic. This study contributes to the literature on Korea's digital technology practices and vaccine campaigns amidst the COVID-19 pandemic by promoting its image through health diplomacy efforts. It projects the country's soft image on a global scale, to save the lives of locals and foreign nationals, by providing insights into health diplomacy in Korea.

During the Late Joseon dynasty, abandoned mountain fortresses were urgently repaired for the operation of foothold mountain fortresses in Gyeongsang-do, during the Japanese Invasion of Korea in 1592 and immediately after the Qing Invasion of Korea in 1636. Immediately after the Qing Invasion of Korea, an external fortress wall was built and added to each of Cheonsaeng Fortress and Geumo Fortress to establish a system of protecting locals inside a fortress at important locations for border defense against Japan in the Yeongnam region. Cheonseng Fortress, however, did not have sufficient geographical and protection conditions as a mountain fortress for protecting people inside it; thus, Gasan Fortress was newly built to replace Cheonsaeng Fortress. Geumo and Gasan Fortresses were used in border defense against Japan during the period from King Injo's reign to the end of Joseon Dynasty, because the fortresses served the purpose of defending Nakdonggang River and middle roads located at important roads along the border in the Yeongnam region and because it was possible to quickly repair and use their existing fortress walls and internal facilities, such as middle fortress walls and ponds, that were constructed for long-term protection of locals inside the fortress. In addition, it was found, in this study, that a continuous discussion on how to supplement fortresses led to the reinforcement and improvement of fortress facilities and fortification technology through the application of major strengths of Chinese (Ming) and Japanese fortress systems.

본 연구는 심양 서탑 코리아타운의 장소성을 새롭게 규명하기 위하여 포용도시의 주요 담론을 토대로 행위자-연결망 이론에 기반한 도시 포용성의 개념적 구조를 확립하고, 이를 해당 공간에 적용하여 분석하였다. 사례 분석의 과정은 신중국 건국부터 현재까지의 시기를 서탑 코리아타운의 맹아기와 발전기로 나누어 주요 행위자를 추출하고, 이 지역의 변화를 대표하는 여섯 개의 시기별로 각각의 행위자-연결망의 네트워크 그래프를 작성하였다. 이를 통하여 해당 공간의 도시 표용성 변화 추이를 해석하고 포용도시의 실현가능성을 전망하였다. 본 연구의 결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 서탑 코리아타운을 구성하는 행위자의 수와 종류는 한중 수교를 기점으로 빠르게 증가하였으며, 행위자-연결망 역시 도시 포용성의 전 지표에서 지속적으로 강화되었다. 둘째, 서탑 코리아타운의 특수성을 대표하는 조선족, 한국인, 현지인, 북한인 등의 주요 인간 행위자들의 행위성이 비약적으로 증진하였다. 셋째, 문화교류와 관련 정책 행위자가 성장하면서 이 지역의 행위자-연결망은 유래없는 도약을 성취하였다. 결론적으로, 심양 서탑 코리아타운의 도시 포용성은 지속적으로 상승하고 있으며, 이 지역의 도시 포용성을 더욱 향상시킬 잠재적 요인 또한 다수 관찰된다.
