This study explored and described the living spiritual experience and was attempted to gain an understanding of spirituality. This was done by eliciting participants′ verbal descriptions of their experiences. Method: Data was obtained from in-depth interviews with one cancer patient, one pastor, and three missionaries after obtaining informed consent from each. Interviews were tape recorded and transcribed verbatim. The transcripts were analyzed using Colaizzi′s phenomenological method. Sandelowski′s evaluation criteria for qualitative research, such as reliability, suitability and auditability, were also used to establish reliability and validity of this study. Result: The five major theme clusters that designated the essence of the spiritual experience, "spiritual awareness," "interconnectedness," "love," "tran- scendent energy," "purpose and meaning in life," emerged from the analysis. Conclusion: This study revealed that spirituality was activated by awareness through introspection and interconnectedness with a Supreme Being. The interconnectedness with a Supreme Being played an important role in harmonious relationships with others and self. It also resulted in revealing the other beneticial attributes of spirituality. Love, the core concept of the interconnectedness, worked as a transcendent energy. Also, the ability to see beyond reality and resulted in finding meaning in life and accomplishing well being.

Purpose. The purpose of this study was to obtain a clearer understanding of spirituality and examine the process of spirituality through defining the meaning and attributes of spirituality. Method. Concept analysis was done in the three phases, theoretical phase, fieldwork phase, and analytical phase suggested in the Hybrid Model. Five people participated in the fieldwork phase. Results. Spirituality is activated through self-awareness which occurs as spirit being activated through self-introspection, and through restoration of the relationship with Supreme Being. This interconnectedness with Supreme Being has an absolute impact on one's harmonious interconnectedness with self and neighbors, thus leads all the critical attributes of spirituality to be revealed. The core energy of this harmonious inter-connectedness is love. When activated, it has a great impact on an individual as integrative energy, leads one to go beyond everyday experience as well as to have new perspectives, and to live a satisfactory life in every aspect. Conclusion. The results of this study suggest that promotion of connectedness is the most important element in spiritual nursing interventions. The results can also be used effectively in developing spirituality assessment scales and theory.

본 연구는 경쟁전략이 자원공유에 미치는 영향을 조절하는 요인이 무엇인지를 살펴봄으로써 기존 실증연구에서 경쟁전략과 자원공유 간의 관계가 유의미한 결과를 도출하지 못했던 이유를 찾아내고자 하였다. 이를 위해 경쟁전략이 차별화보다는 저원가를 추구할수록 자원공유의 정도가 높아질 것이라는 가설을 먼저 검증하고, 이후 다각화전략, 상호연결성, 집권화, 자원보유수준을 조절변수로 투입했을 때 경쟁전략과 자원공유의 관계가 어떻게 달라지는지를 분석하였다. 통계결과에 의하면 경쟁전략은 자원공유에 단독으로 유의미한 영향을 미치지 않았으나, 다각화전략을 제외한 상호연결성, 집권화, 자원보유수준과 결합될 때 유의미한 영향을 미치는 것으로 확인되었다. 즉 저원가 전략은 높은 상호연결성, 높은 집권화, 낮은 자원보유수준의 조건 하에서 자원공유를 증가시킨다는 것이다. 이는 경쟁전략과 자원공유의 관계에 대한 기존 논의가 자원공유의 의지나 의도에만 초점을 맞추었던 반면, 능력이나 가능성에 대한 고려가 부족했기 때문인 것으로 설명될 수 있다. 따라서 능력이나 가능성을 반영하는 조절변수의 투입을 통해 자원공유를 보다 잘 예측할 수 있게 되었던 것으로 보인다. 본 연구는 자원공유에 대한 기존 논의의 취약성을 발견하고 보완논리를 제시했다는 점에서 의의를 찾을 수 있다.

Purpose: The main purpose of this study was to develop a substantive theory on the process of the spiritual experience in Christian terminal cancer patients in the context of Korean society and culture. The question for the study was 'What is the spiritual process in Christian terminal cancer patients?'. Method: The research method used was the Grounded Theory Method developed by Strauss & Corbin(1998). Participants for this study in total were 9 Christian terminal cancer patients. Data was collected using in-depth interviews during April 2003 to March. 2004. Data collection and analysis were carried out at the same time. Result: From the analysis 58 concepts and 20 categories emerged. The categories were presented into a paradigm, which consisted of condition-actions/interactions-consequences. The theoretical scheme was described by organizing categories. In total, 4 stages were developed from the condition-actions/ interactions-consequences. Throughout these stages, the 'overcoming process of unbalanced interconnectedness' was the core category discovered. Conclusion: This study provides a framework for the development of individualized care interventions in the 'overcoming process of unbalanced interconnectedness' for Christian terminal cancer patients.

Objectives : One of the fundamental premises of medical anthropology is the interconnectedness of medicine and society. Recent ethnographies of medicine demonstrate that the interconnectedness of the social and the medical not just evokes relatedness of the two parties, but also emphasizes the agency of the constituents, mutually shaping and being shaped. Against this backdrop, this study attempts to anthropologically investigate Korean medicine in South Korea and traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) in China. Methods : The findings are based on anthropological studies of East Asian medicine employing long-term fieldwork about Korean Medicine and Traditional Chinese Medicine. Results : TCM is characterized by standardization, hospitalization, and scientization, by which simplification, collectivization, and biomedicalization prevail in contemporary traditional medicine in China. In contrast, Korean medicine is characterized by diversity, care delivery by individual private clinics, and a considerable distance from biomedicine. To understand the divergence of the two East Asian medicines, one should consider the social contexts intervening into the medical contents, such as the role of the state and dominant discourses in given historical periods. Conclusions : Korean medicine in South Korea and TCM in China demonstrate well the hybridity of the social and the medical, suggesting that, for more comprehensive understanding of the medical, the social should be paid attention to.

본 논문은 우리나라 국가 및 기업의 신용 리스크 네트워크를 추정하고 최근 거시경제 상황에 따른 국가-기업 및 기업-기업 간의 연결성 변화를 살펴본다. 2015년 11월부터 2022년 10월까지의 신용부도스왑(CDS) 스프레드 데이터를 이용하여 네트워크를 Graphical Lasso로 추정한 결과, 우리나라 국가 및 기업 신용리스크 간의 연결성이 유의미하게 존재한다. 특히, 수출입 및 외환 거래를 담당하는 은행 부문의 연결성이 전반적으로 높은 편이다. 통화정책 긴축 기조가 두드러진 2022년 들어서는 공통 익스포져가 확대되어 이러한 연결성이 커진 것으로 보인다.

The purpose of this study is to explore the concept spirituality and to gain understanding of nursing intervention that may improve spiritual well-being. The concept analysis framework developed by Walker and Avant (1995) was used to clarify the concept. In the study, 'Harmonious interconnectedness', 'Transcendence', 'Integrative Energy' and 'Purpose and Meaning in Life' emerged as the critical attributes of spirituality. The first attribute, 'harmonious Inter- connectedness', has three categories including intrapersonal, (self), interpersonal (others/ nature) and transpersonal (the Supreme Being). The second attribute, 'Transcendence', is defined as the ability to extend one's own self beyond the limits of usual experiences and to achieve new perspectives. This attribute is demonstrated by 'coping with situations', to 'self-healing', and 'transformation'. The third attribute of spirituality is 'Integrative Energy', which integrates all dimensions and acts as a creative and dynamic force that keeps a person growing and changing. 'Integrative Energy is also defined as an inner resource that gives a sense of empowerment. Therefore the highly spiritual person demonstrate 'inner peace', 'growing', 'inner strength,' and 'well-being'. The fourth attribute 'Purpose and Meaning in Life' represents a sense of connectedness with one's inner values and with a greater purpose in life. It is demonstrated by 'hope' and 'a powerful life'. In this study, the antecedents of the spirituality represented as 'spirit' and its potential enablers were 'Introspection/reflection', 'Interconnectedness with all living things', and an 'Awareness of a Higher-Power'. The consequences of this concept may be described as 'physical, psychosocial, and spiritual well-being'. Empirical referents of this are 'purposeful life' 'self-worth' 'hope' 'love' 'service' 'forgiveness' 'trust/belief' 'inner peace' 'self-actualization' 'religious practices' 'transformation' 'inner strength' and 'coping'. In conclusion, spirituality can be defined based on these critical attributes. Spirituality is a dynamic, integrative energy based on a feeling of harmonious interconnection with self, others and a higher power. Through it, one is enabled to transcend and to live with meaning and purpose in life.

오늘날 전세계적 양극화가 다양한 스케일에서 심화되고 있다. 가난한 개발도상국을 중심으로 나타나고 있는 빈곤과 불평등, 그리고 이로 인해 파생되는 기아, 질병, 환경파괴, 난민 등의 문제는 보다 복잡한 지리적 양상으로 전개되고 있다. 이런 문제는 특정 국가나 지역에 국한된 문제처럼 보이지만, 유럽 식민주의 이후의 지리적 상호연결성이 파생해 온 역사적 결과이다. 이런 측면에서 1960년대 이후 본격적으로 전개되어 온 국제개발협력은 빈곤과 불평등을 해결하는 데에 기여해 왔지만, 이런 과정에는 공적개발원조와 관련된 보다 복잡한 지정학적 이해관계가 얽혀 있다. 특히, 2015년에는 2000년에 시작된 새천년 개발목표(MDGs) 프로젝트가 종료되는 대신 2030년을 목표로 하는 지속가능개발목표(SDGs)가 새롭게 수립됨에 따라, 이를 달성하려고 하는 국제 사회의 노력과 전략은 더욱 복잡해질 것으로 예측된다. 지리적 측면에서 볼 때 SDGs는 훨씬 폭넓고 다양한 문제를 해결하려는 방향으로 설정되었지만 동시에 많은 한계와 난점도 갖고 있다.

Based on its geophysical feature, the island has long been recognized as a separate and self-sustaining space independent of neighboring continent or other islands. Literary tradition has used the island as a metaphor for a utopian alternative to mundane human society with its various kinds of wrongdoings. Recent nature writings have taken up this island metaphor to emphasize the wholeness of the ecosystem in specifically designated natural community or landscapes such as national parks or wilderness preservation areas. Human-nature relations as border-divided area is also recognized as the island. Modern island biogeography, however, has disproved such a concept of islands as autonomous, revealing the contrasting fact that the richness of species on an undisturbed island is determined largely by species immigration from and emigration to a source of colonists. This scientific finding has posited the island as the interconnected nature, but the public and metaphoric use of it still resorts to the old concept of it as isolated and autonomous nature, because this image has been ingrained deeply in our consciousness and culture. Considering the negative consequences from the recognition of nature and nature-humans as isolated space, we need a new nature metaphor that embodies interconnectedness in nature and of human-nature relations. Such feature of interconnectedness is best embedded in the concept of ecotone. Some ecotones are created and maintained through human participation in nature, and this human induced nature of ecotone denotes the possibilities of a constructive relation between them. The substitution of the island with the ecotone as the concept of nature and the image of human-nature relations is expected to correct ecocritical practices of reading of nature writing, which has been predominantly interpreted within the orientation of nature itself and nature-human relations as an isolated and self-autonomous island. Adopting the ecotone in literary study enables ecocriticism to dig out cultural elements embedded in nature writing and reveal socio-political, ideological factors hidden behind the writers' portrayal of nature as islands.

This case study takes a look at the hyperlink networks extracted from the websites of 367 international non-governmental organizations (NGOs) with datasets from 2010, 2012 and 2014. The first level of evaluation focuses on connections between the NGOs, identifying important nodes, groups and their relations. The second level takes into account the broad range of networked websites from the World Wide Web delivering insights into general networking patterns. The third level explores the underlying spatial configurations of the network which offers a great variety of geographic insights on information flows between and within continents, countries and cities. The most interesting findings of this study are a low level of interconnectedness between the NGOs and at the same time a strong spatial concentration of all embedded network actors.
