Sleep is an essential physiological process, especially for proper brain function through the formation of new pathways and processing information and cognition. Therefore, when sleep is insufficient, this can result in pathophysiologic conditions. Sleep deficiency is a risk factor for various conditions, including dementia, diabetes, and obesity. Recent studies have shown that there are differences in the prevalence of sleep disorders between genders. Insomnia, the most common type of sleep disorder, has been reported to have a higher incidence in females than in males. However, sex/gender differences in other sleep disorder subtypes are not thoroughly understood. Currently, increasing evidence suggests that gender issues should be considered important when prescribing medicine. Therefore, an investigation of the gender-dependent differences in sleep disorders is required. In this review, we first describe sex/gender differences not only in the prevalence of sleep disorders by category but in the efficacy of sleep medications. In addition, we summarize sex/gender differences in the impact of sleep disorders on incident dementia. This may help understand gender-dependent pathogenesis of sleep disorders and develop therapeutic strategies in men and women.

본 연구에서는 개인자존감을 통제한 상태에서 성별집단자존감이 성차별경험과 정당한 세상에 대한 믿음(Belief in a just world; 이하 BJW)간의 관계를 조절하는지 살펴보았다. 이를 위해 수도권에 거주하는 300명의 일반 여성을 대상으로 성차별경험, 개인자존감, 성별집단자존감, BJW를 측정하였고, 위계적 회귀분석을 실시하였다. 그 결과, 개인자존감을 통제한 상태에서, 성별집단자존감이 성차별경험과 BJW간의 관계를 조절하는 것으로 나타났다. 즉, 성별집단자존감이 높을수록, 성차별경험이 BJW에 미치는 부정적 영향이 감소하는 것으로 확인되었다. 또한, 성별집단자존감의 하위유형(멤버쉽, 사적, 공적, 정체성)이 각각 성차별경험과 BJW 간의 관계를 조절하는지 살펴보았는데, 그 결과, 정체성을 제외한 나머지 하위유형의 조절효과가 유의한 것으로 확인되었다. 본 연구의 결과를 바탕으로 본 연구의 한계점, 후속연구를 위한 제언, 그리고 상담적 함의를 논의하였다.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the difference in elementary school children's human rights sensitivity and the perception of human rights depending on child variables, family variables, school variables, and predictive influences among these variables. The participants were 1,364 elementary school children in the 'Current Status of Korean Children's and Youth's Rights(2013)'. The results of this study were as follows: First, the variables influencing children's human rights sensitivity were school life experience, grade, the degree to which adolescents think they are respected in deciding family issues, gender, experiences of teacher's swear words, experiences of being neglected, and experiences of being bullied at school. Second, the variables influencing children's perception of human rights were gender, experiences of parents' swear words, school life experience, the degree to which adolescents think they are respected in deciding family issues, and father's educational achievements. The results of this study offered fundamental data about the important issues in researching children's rights and the policy implications for enhancing them.

Over the past few decades, gender equality has been considered one of the fundamental principles and a significant crosscutting issue in international development. However, beyond applying 'gender equality' as a policy buzzword, there has been a lack of critical reviews on how generally 'gender equality in education' is understood and constructed in Korea's development programs and projects. In this regard, this paper explores the use of vocabularies and semantic meanings of gender equality in the Korean Government's Academic Cooperation Program and its 52 projects. By applying mixed contents analysis as a method, the research resulted in several findings: first, the policy papers recently highlighted Korea's directions on gender mainstreaming and gender-sensitive approaches in international development. Second, 'integrating women and girls' into education institutions was emphasized in various projects; third, the term women rather than gender were used in the texts, highlighting their position as a 'marginalized group.' Lastly, there was a lack of evidence of projects dealing with changing gender-based power relations. The constructed gendered relations and powers were identified throughout projects, usually acting as barriers to project activities. However, they were only identified, not challenged, by the program. In conclusion, whilst Korean international development and educational development discourse actively embrace Women in Development (WID) and Gender and Development (GAD) in their programs, it is time to consider the issue of gender equality from different standpoints, such as identity, rights, and capabilities and a more active engagement with Korea's domestic issues in gender discourse and practices is also needed.

The problem of classifying of age, gender, and race images still poses challenges. Despite deep and machine learning strides, convolutional neural networks (CNNs) remain pivotal in addressing these issues. This paper introduces a novel CNN-based approach for accurate and efficient age, gender, and race classification. Leveraging CNNs with residual blocks, our method enhances learning while minimizing computational complexity. The model effectively captures low-level and high-level features, yielding improved classification accuracy. Evaluation of the diverse 'fair face' dataset shows our model achieving 56.3%, 94.6%, and 58.4% accuracy for age, gender, and race, respectively.

대규모 표준화된 문항을 사용하는 과학과 국제 비교 연구에서 드러난 우리 나라 학생들의 성 차이가 국내 연구에서도 나타나는지 파악하기 위해 지난 30년 동안 과학 교육 관련 학술지인 한국과학교육학회지, 한국초등과학교육학회지, 한국지구과학회지, 한국생물교육학회지, 화학교육, 새물리 등에 게재된 논문 전체를 분석했다. 젠더 문제를 연구의 주제로 한 논문은 많지 않았지만, 총 279편의 논문에서 연구 결과를 성별로 제시했다. 이 중 통계적 유의미도가 검증된 225개의 논문을 2인의 연구자가 내용 분석했다. 분석 결과는 검사 문항을 사용한 조사 연구와 프로그램을 적용한 실험 연구 등으로 구분해 경향을 파악했다. 조사 연구 논문 분석 결과, 과학 지식과 태도 모두에서 국제 비교 연구와 마찬가지로 남학생이 우월하게 나타난 논문이 가장 많았다. 특히, 과학 관련 태도에서 성 차이를 보인 논문이 가장 많았고, 다음으로 과학 지식, 그리고 과학 탐구 능력에서의 성 차이를 보인 논문이 가장 적었다. 실험 연구 분석 결과, 새로운 과학 교육 프로그램의 효과에 있어서 성 차이가 나타나지 않는 논문이 가장 많았지만, 프로그램 적용 후 남학생은 인지적 측면에서 여학생은 정의적 측면에서 더 효과적으로 드러난 논문이 많았다. 여학생들의 과학 성취도 향상과 과학에 대한 태도를 긍정적으로 하는 다양한 프로그램 개발이 필요한 시점이다.

House ownership is considered as one of the important pre-conditions for marriage in China. Given that gender imbalance is a prominent issue in the country, competition for marriage partners might motivate males to look for a house and probably bigger and more expensive house. This is believed to have caused house price hikes in recent years. This study aims to investigate the impact of gender imbalance on house prices using data from 30 provinces in China for the 2000-2017 period. The results based on the generalized method of moments (GMM) estimations show that house price is strongly influenced by gender imbalance. However, there is no evidence to support differential effects across eastern and mid-western regions. One potential reason is that pre-marriage house ownership has become a common culture for the whole community and therefore it does not vary significantly across regions. There are several important policy implications. Firstly, the issues should be addressed by the policymakers at national level and not regional level. Secondly, the government should intervene to bring back gender ratio to its normal level. Finally, the government should limit the number of houses people can buy and increase the supply of houses in the market.

While Korea does not have any legal statement on surrogacy, treatments are carried out in practice. As a result, every Institutional Review Board (IRB) of each fertility clinic faces an ethical predicament in reviewing each case. There is a need to arrange the institutions' own standards of surrogate pregnancy procedures before the establishment of national or professional regulation. This article examines the legal, social, and medical issues of surrogacy to help IRBs to judge their cases.
