Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to analyze the impact of the minimum wage policy and the employment labor force in Myanmar by exploring firms' actions such as installing supplementary machines to substitute for labor resources and by addressing gender issues in employment. Research design, data, and methodology: This paper applies a fixed-effect estimation method by using the World Bank's enterprise panel data set surveyed in Myanmar. Results: Findings suggest that the minimum wage reduces both full-time and part-time employment, while the first minimum wage policy increases overall female employment. The adverse impacts are more pronounced for female employees of Joint Venture enterprises and enterprises located in the less-populated regions. Investment in capital such as equipment and machinery increase to substitute for labor after the minimum wage policy implementation; as a result, full-time employment slightly decreases. Conclusions: Appropriate measures concerning the minimum wage policy must be prepared by the government and institutions related to the labor union to serve the well-being of employees. Government of Myanmar should fix the minimum wage in a reasonable period based on the fiscal year for both employers and employees to prevent possible issues and losses resulting from the minimum wage being set.

In this paper, I revisit and problematize "blackness" in THH by building on Toni Morrison's call for the theorization of "blackness" in American literature. THH has received much critical attention in the decades that followed its revival, but this paper argues that the meaning of "Africanist presence" has not been adequately addressed in 19th-century women writers' works. This paper is an effort to fill in this gap, and examines the ways in which "blackness" informed and shaped this most popular text of 19th-century America. This paper argues that THH demonstrates contemporary America's fear of "blackness," and rather than celebrating Capitola's feminist credentials or criticizing the lack of sensitivity to racial issues in THH, shows that the significance of the text lies in the ways in which it prophesies an impending national crisis mediated through the disruptive force of Capitola and Black Donald. THH certainly reiterates the popular, contemporary racial paradigms and excludes blacks from the conceptualization of "manhood," and it may seem that the issue of race is subsumed under gender issues when the text continuously privileges gender over race. However, at the same time, Black Donald and Capitola's disruptive energies signify the fear of explosive "blackness," and the disruptive stirrings of "blackness" permeate the novel as the energy that might rupture the seemingly tranquil order of antebellum South. The novel encodes and reflects the fear of blackness in the minds of its readers, and the popularity of this novel foretells nothing less than the explosion of Civil War.

This study examines the accounting students' level of moral development at the university. In this study, we focused on the effects of ethics subject and gender on moral development. Therefore, we compare the moral development of male and female students. We evaluated 216 students in Cognitive Moral Development (CMD) from 17 universities in Indonesia. We measured CMD with the Defining Issues Test (DIT) model developed by Rest in 1986. The findings show that there is no difference in DIT scores between students who have taken the ethics subject and who have not taken. We also confirm female students have a higher DIT score than male students. Our study results show that gender plays an important role in the ethics issue. Our study strengthens the previous research about the effect of ethics study and ethics courses on CMD. This study has an implication for ethics education in university wherein the curriculum or the system should be prepared carefully. Although the results of this study did not show that ethics subject has a strong impact on students' CMD, we still believe that the ethics course plays a significant role in the accountants' morals. For that reason, we argue that morals need time to be developed, and cannot be taught in a short-term course. Future research is needed to explore more about this issue.

Purpose: This study was conducted to identify awareness levels in regard to preconception care and gender differences targeting single undergraduate students in their 20s. Methods: The study participants were 867 single undergraduate students aged 20~29 (523 women, 344 men). This was a descriptive research, in which awareness levels of preconception care and pregnancy were identified the through questionnaire surveys. Results: Gender differences in the awareness of reproductive care before conception were found. Generally, women's awareness of issues related to preconception care and pregnancy was higher than that of men. Women recognized risk factors in pregnancy ($x^2$=22.85, p<.001) and positive behaviors ($x^2$=10.91, p=.012) better than men. Women's awareness of preconception care was significantly higher than that of men (t=8.37, p<.001). The awareness levels of the students who completed a reproduction related class (t=3.16, p=.002) and the students who knew about folic acid (t=-10.78, p<.001) in preconception care were statistically significantly higher. Conclusion: The results indicate that the ways to educate and alert students to major risk factors before pregnancy and other reproductive care content before conception is to provide education both single women and single men.

Service quality is a competitive weapon in the banking industry. Better understanding of customer's perception of service quality in the banking industry and the drivers of such perceptions will be a sound basis for continuous improvement in the quality of service offered to customers, customer satisfaction and customer retention in the industry. An earlier study by the same authors (Ibrahim and Bokkasam, 2016) revealed that the six SERVQUAL determinants are significantly related to and explain about 84% of overall customer satisfaction. It was also observed that the female customers perceived higher level of positive perception towards SERVQUAL determinants. The present study carries out a micro-analysis of the influence of gender on the constituents of the service quality and customer satisfaction for all the six dimensions of the SERVQUAL: Access, Communication, Competence, Tangibility, Empathy and Reliability, in Saudi banking sector. The study also analyses gender-wise levels of satisfactions with regard to individual components constituting various factors of the constituents of SERVQUAL. It was observed that the male customers have significantly low levels of satisfactions with regard to promptness in solving conflicting issues and comfort during waiting time in the bank.

Due to her successful novel Little Women (1869), Louisa May Alcott has generally become known as a writer of sentimental fiction. However, her thrillers demonstrate her keen insights into domestic and international issues. Alcott's so-called "left hand" shows her stances on political and historical issues in America as well as in Europe and Asia. Particularly, Alcott's supporting voice for women against social prejudices is metaphorically portrayed in "A Whisper in the Dark" (1861). Interestingly, in the story Alcott displays her knowledge of the drug trades and the cultural effects of white male colonizers exploiting other peoples and countries around the globe, which were issues that she had learned about from neighboring intellectuals and newspapers. In the paper, I examine Alcott's radical views on gender equality, chauvinistic attitudes, and transnational politics in the mid-nineteenth century.

본 연구는 성 고정관념이 활성화되었을 때 남성과 여성의 자아해석은 어떻게 달라지는지를 알아보기 위해 시도되었다. 그 결과 전반적으로 남성들의 성 고정관념 점수가 여성들보다 높았고 이런 현상은 자아해석에도 그대로 반영되었다. 여성들은 여성에 대한 고정관념은 낮지만 자아해석은 매우 고정형적으로 하고 있었다. 성 고정관념의 활성화효과는 남성들에게는 나타나지 않고 여성들에게만 나타나, 고정관념이 활성화되었을 때 자아해석을 덜 고정형적으로 하는 탈동일시 경향을 보였다. 영역별로는 역할 영역에서 남성은 고정관념을 수용하는 반면 여성들은 거부하는 양상이 나타났고, 외모 영역에서는 남녀 모두 고정관념을 수용하는 경향이 높았다. 능력영역에서는 남성들은 고정관념이 활성화될 때 더 고정형적인 자아해석을 하는데 비해 여성들은 탈동일시하는 현상이 나타났다. 한편 처방적인 성 고정관념을 자아에 반영하는 경향은 남성에게서 더 강하게 나타났다. 성 고정관념을 가지고 있는 정도에 따라 고정관념 고-저 집단을 나누어 자아해석을 살펴 본 결과, 남녀 모두 성 고정관념이 낮은 사람들은 높은 사람들에 비해 자아해석이 덜 고정형적이었다. 그리고 여성의 경우에는 고정관념이 활성화되었을 때에 성 고정관념이 낮은 사람들이 고정형적인 자아해석을 더 많이 억압하는 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 결과는 성 고정관념이 그 수혜자인 남성과 피해자인 여성의 자아해석에 각기 다르게 영향을 미쳐, 거부되기도 하지만, 자아에 반영되고 실천되어 성 고정관념을 유지시킬 수 있다고 해석되었다.

Recent favor on high quality food and concern on food safety have demonstrated the superiority of Hanwoo (Korean native cattle). In general, the price of cow is higher than those of steer and bull, causing cheating issues in the market. Hence, this study is to discriminate genders of Hanwoo with identification of factors which highly influence gender discrimination based on the big-size deboning data. Totally, there were 31 variables in the deboning data, and we divided into them two categories: data obtained before and after deboning. Discriminant function analysis was then applied into the data to determined the accuracy of gender discrimination in Hanwoo. The result showed that Hanwoo could be classified by gender with 99.2% of accuracy when using all 31 variables. In detail, it was possible to identify 93 of 94 bulls (98.9%), 96 of 96 cows (100%) and 74 of 75 steers (98.7%). The most significant variables was chuck, sirloin, armbone shin, plates, retail and cuts percentage, sequentially. With variables obtainable before deboning, accuracies of classification were 91.5% for bulls, 92.7% for cows, and 89.3% for steers. The most significant variables was water, cold carcass weight and back-fat thickness. The discrimination accuracy was higher with data obtainable after deboning: bulls (98.9%), cows (99.0%) and steers (98.7%). In this case, chuck, sirloin and armbone shin were the factors determined the classification ability. This study showed that Hanwoo can be classified based on deboning data with appropriate statistics, further suggesting weight of cut of beef might be the standard for gender classification.

정보화 시대의 도래로 인해 학교 현장뿐만 아니라 사회의 전 분야에서 인터넷의 사용이 폭발적으로 증가하고 있는 것이 현실이다. 고객 분석이 화두가 되는 온라인 마켓에서는 성인의 성별 요인이 인터넷 사용에 있어 하나의 중요한 요소로 인식되어 시스템 설계와 개발에 큰 영향을 미치는 요인이 되기도 한다. 마찬가지로, 대상자가 인터넷의 환경에 처음 노출되어 그 정도가 심화되어 가는 초등학생을 대상으로 성별, 인종, 문화 등 따라 그 개발과 설계를 근본적으로 달리 해야 하는가 하는 것은 최근의 중요한 이슈의 하나로 생각될 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 현장 교사들의 많은 경험상 성별이 큰 영향을 미칠 것이라는 막연한 생각에 분명한 통계적 결과를 제시하여 a) 성인들과 같이 성별에 따라 교육용 시스템의 설계와 개발을 해야 할 필요성이 있는지에 대한 근본적인 의문에 답할 뿐만 아니라 b) 세부적으로 어떠한 요인들이 초등교육용 웹 사이트 개발에 핵심적 요소가 될 것인가를 192명의 설문결과를 바탕으로 분석하여 그 결론과 시사점을 도출하였다.
