중국의 오랜 역사 과정에서 풍부하고 소중한 소수민족의 전통음악은 형성되었다. 각 민족은 발전 과정에서 독특한 자연환경과 특수한 생활과 생산 방식에 따라 자기만의 세계관과 음악 문화를 만들어 냈다. 클라리넷은 서양 악기로서, 중국에 전래되는 과정에서 중국 소수민족 문화의 영향을 어느 정도 받아왔다. 따라서 음악가들은 중국 소수민족 음악 중의 여러 요소를 표현하는 데에 서양 악기를 사용하는 방법을 모색했다. 본 논문은 중국 소수민족 음악의 요소를 사용하여 창작된 현대 클라리넷 작품 작곡가 왕염의 『목마의 노래』와 작곡가 호벽정의 『파미이지음』을 중심으로 작품의 형성 유래, 작품에 나타난 예술적인 표현 특징 등 두 측면에서 클라리넷에서 표현되는 민족적인 요소를 분석하고자 한다. 구체적으로는 민족음악의 모드 음계, 박자, 리듬과 선율의 표현기법, 그리고 소수민족 전통 악기를 모방한 소리의 특징 등 다섯 가지 내용으로 구성된다. 또한 지역, 생산, 생활, 민족 정서 등과 접목하여 작품에 사용된 타지크족과 몽골족 음악에 나타난 민족문화의 특징을 분석한다. 본 연구는 중국 현대 클라리넷 작품의 음악 스타일을 습득하고자 하는 창작자와 연주자에게 이론적인 근거를 제공하고 서양 악기로 중국 전통 음악을 연주할 더 좋은 방법을 모색하고자 한다.

This study concerns possible measures to prevent separatists' terrorist acts against overseas Korean businessmen. Of late, many Korean enterprises are helping a number of foreign countries develop their economy, by building factories and manning regional offices in those countries. But recent development of terrorism especially against Korean businessmen is alarming. This report discusses the need for Korean enterprises heading overseas to prepare themselves with awareness of terrorism and possible protective measures against it, besides their routine pursuance of profits; and for the government and prospective enterprises to refrain from investing in those countries having active separatist movements. If an investment has become inevitable, a careful survey of the region in conflict should be conducted and self-protective measures should be put in place through security information exchange, emergency coordination and training of personnel, etc. This study will first review the past terrorist incidents involving employees of overseas Korean enterprises, and then will focuss on seeking effective measures on the basis of the reported incidents. In carrying out the study, related literature from both home and abroad have been used along with the preliminary materials reported and known on the Internet from recent incidents. 1. The separatist movements of minority groups Lately, minority separatist groups are increasingly resorting to terrorism to draw international attention with the political aim of gaining extended self rule or independence. 2. The state of terrorism against overseas Korean enterprises and Koreans Korean enterprises are now operating businesses, and having their own personnel stationed, in 85 countries including those in South East Asia and Middle East regions. In Sri Lanka, where a Korean enterprise recently became a target of terrorist bombing, there are 75 business firms from Korea and some 700 Korean employees are stationed as of August 1996. A total of 19 different terrorist incidents have taken place against Koreans abroad since 1990. 3. Terrorism preventive measures Terrorism preventive measures are discussed in two ways: measures by the government and by the enterprises. ${\blacktriangleleft}$ Measures by the government - Possible measures at governmental level can include collection and dissemination of terrorist activity information. Emphasis should be given to the information on North Korean activities in particular. ${\blacktriangleleft}$ Measures by individual enterprises - Organizational security plan must be established by individual enterprises and there should also be an increase of security budget. A reason for reluctant effort toward positive security plan is the perception that the security budget is not immediately linked to an increment of profit gain. Ensuring safety for overseas personnel is a fundamental obligation of an enterprise. Consultation and information exchange on security plan, and an emergency support system at a threat to security must be sought after and implemented. 4. Conclusion Today's terrorism varies widely depending on reasons and causes, and its means has become increasingly informationalized and scientific as well while its method is becoming more clandestine and violent. Terrorist organizations are increasingly aiming at enterprises for acquisition of budgets needed for their activities. Korean enterprises have extended their business realm to foreign countries since 1970, exposing themselves to terrorism. Enterprises and their employees, therefore, should establish their own security measures on the one hand while the government must provide general measures, on the other, for the protection of the life and property of Korean residents abroad from terrorist attacks. In this regard, set-up of a counter terrorist organization that coordinates the efforts of government authorities in various levels in planning and executing counter terrorist measures is desired. Since 1965, when the hostile North Korea began to step up its terrorist activities against South Koreans, there have been 7 different occasions of assassination attempt on South Korean presidents and some 500 cases of various kidnappings and attempted kidnappings. North Korea, nervous over the continued economic growth and social stabilization of South Korea, is now concentrating its efforts in the destruction and deterioration of the national power of South Korea for its earlier realization of reunification by force. The possibility of North Korean terrorism can be divided into external terrorist acts and internal terrorist acts depending on the nationality of the terrorists it uses. The external terrorist acts include those committed directly by North Korean agents in South Korea and abroad and those committed by dissident Koreans, hired Korean residents, or international professionals or independent international terrorists bought or instigated by North Korea. To protect the life and property of Korean enterprises and their employees abroad from the threat of terrorism, the government's administrative support and the organizational efforts of enterprises should necessarily be directed toward the planning of proper security measures and training of employees. Also, proper actions should be taken against possible terrorist acts toward Korean business employees abroad as long as there are ongoing hostilities from minority groups against their governments.

본 연구에서는 공동체에서의 문화 다양성에 대한 억압을 탐구했다. 먼저 그동안 수행한 연구와 최근의 변화를 토대로 중국 정부와 소수민족 사이에 존재하는 억압을 고찰했다. 보이는 억압에서는 한어 교육의 확대, 소수민족 언어의 제재를 비롯하여 소수민족의 정체성이 배제된 고등교육의 확대를 언급했다. 보이지 않는 억압에서는 도시화, 현대화를 앞세운 도시개발, 중앙정부의 교육을 받은 소수민족 출신 간부의 활용 등을 거론했다. 이어서 유럽에 맞선 라틴아메리카의 억압과 저항에 주목했다. 왜냐하면 라틴아메리카는 문화 다양성의 억압을 중국 소수민족 보다 먼저 경험하고, 이를 이론으로 성숙시켰기 때문이다. 그러므로 라틴아메리카 지식인들의 고민과 경험은 중국 소수민족의 미래와 자신을 변호할 이론으로 가공되는 데 참고할 점이 많다. 물론 중국 소수민족 공동체의 문제에는 특수성이 있다. 그러나 라틴아메리카에서의 경험과 자아 비판적 연구는 중국 소수민족 공동체의 특수성을 확장시켜 생각할 단초이다. 특히 유럽에 의해 문화적으로 잠식되어 스스로 창조할 수 없는 지경에 이른 라틴 아메리카의 상황과 점차 닮아가기 때문이다. 궁극적으로 본 연구를 통해 우리 공동체는 어떠한지 그리고 바람직한 공동체는 어떠해야 하는지 되돌아보고 싶었다. 중국 소수민족의 실태와 라틴아메리카의 억압과 저항을 통해 우리의 민낯을 되돌아보고, 바람직한 공동체가 추구할 현실적 방안을 찾고자 했다. 라틴아메리카 학자들의 주장처럼 인식의 전환은 필요하다. 더하여 다양성과 자유에 대한 성찰, 상호 존중의 마음, 중국의 상황에 기초한 화이부동의 자세도 중요하다. 결국 공동체에서의 문화 다양성과 억압의 문제는 중국 소수민족 공동체와 라틴아메리카의 선주민뿐만 아니라 미국의 아시아인, 한국에서의 외국인 문제로 확장되어, 다양한 구성원으로 만들어진 공동체 모두의 문제가 된다.

The recent Great Recession of 2008 was a period of sharp economic decline throughout the late 2000s. All socio-demographic groups were impacted by the economic downturn, however, Hispanic households were particularly hard hit. It is not a recent phenomenon that minority groups often have greater problems related to credit and debt repayments. A better understanding of these racial/ethnic differences in credit and debt has been hindered by the propensity of many studies to pool all racial/ethnic minorities together and compare them to white households. Using a Heckman-type selection model with a combination of the 2010 and 2013 Survey of Consumer Finances datasets to study household debt repayment problems, we found that racial/ethnic groups have been differently impacted by the recent Great Recession in terms of debt repayment problems. Hispanic households were less likely to hold debt; however, those with debt were just as likely as white households and African American households to be delinquent in repayments. This finding is contrary to prior research that indicated Hispanics with debt were less likely than white and African American households to be delinquent on repayments prior to the Great Recession of 2008. We propose possible explanations for the increase in debt repayment problems, that includes increased assimilation into the U.S. culture of credit use, the circumstance of being more recent home buyers prior to the decline, and living in states that suffered the greatest decline in housing value.

In empirical software engineering research, there is an increased use of questionnaires and surveys to collect information from practitioners. Typically, such data is then analyzed based on overall, descriptive statistics. Overall, they consider the whole survey population as a single group with some sampling techniques to extract varieties. In some cases, the population is also partitioned into sub-groups based on some background information. However, this does not reveal opinion diversity properly as similar opinions can exist in different segments of the population, whereas people within the same group might have different opinions. Even though existing approach can capture the general trends there is a risk that the opinions of different sub-groups are lost. The problem becomes more complex in case of longitudinal studies where minority opinions might fade or resolute over time. Survey based longitudinal data may have some potential patterns which can be extracted through a clustering process. It may reveal new information and attract attention to alternative perspectives. We suggest using a data mining approach to finding the diversity among the different groups in longitudinal studies (agile skeptics). In our study, we show that diversity can be revealed and tracked over time with the use of clustering approach, and the minorities have an opportunity to be heard.

Objective: This study aimed to explore the differences in the curative and side effects of chemoradiotherapy on esophageal cancer (EC) among Xinjiang Han, Uigur and Kazakh patients. Methods: 170 patients with IIA stage-IV of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma were analyzed retrospectively. Based on different nationalities, they were divided into the Han, Uigur and Kazakh groups. The 1-, 2- and 3-year survival rates, incidence of the side effects (including hematological toxicities, radioactive esophagitis and percutaneous reactions) and application of antibiotics and harmonics were compared among the groups. There was no significant difference in the short-term curative effects among the Han, Uigur and Kazakh groups. The 1- 2- and 3-year survival rates of the three groups were 84%, 40%, 26%; 78%, 27%, 18%; and 60%, 21%, 12% ($x^2$=14.497, P<0.05). The incidence rate of hamatological toxicity ${\geq}$Grade 2 in the Kazakh group was significantly lower than that in the Han or Uigur group. Results: The incidence rates of radioactive esophagitis and percutaneous reactions Grade 2 in the Han group were significantly higher than those in the Uigur or Kazakh group. There was no significant difference in the types of applied antibiotics among the groups, but there were significant differences in the days of antibiotic application and proportion of patients receiving harmonics between the Hans and either of other groups. Conclusion: Chemoradiotherapy shows a better effect in the long-term survival rate among Han EC patients compared with Uigur or Kazakh EC patients. Uigur and Kazakh patients show a better tolerance to the side effects of chemoradiotherapy compared with Hans.

Background: Breast cancer incidence is increasing among South Asian migrants to the United States (US). However, their utilization of cancer screening services is poor. This study characterizes attitudes of South Asians towards breast health and screening in a community sample. Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional survey based on the Health Belief Model (HBM) was conducted among South Asians (n=124) in New Jersey and Chicago. The following beliefs and attitudes towards breast cancer screening were assessed-health motivation, breast self-examination confidence, breast cancer susceptibility and fear, and mammogram benefits and barriers. Descriptive statistics and Spearman rank correlation coefficients were computed for HBM subscales. Findings: Mean age of participants was 36 years with an average 10 years stay in the US. Most women strived to care for their health ($3.82{\pm}1.18$) and perceived high benefits of screening mammography ($3.94{\pm}0.95$). However, they perceived lower susceptibility to breast cancer in the future ($2.30{\pm}0.94$). Conclusions: Increasing awareness of breast cancer risk for South Asian women may have a beneficial effect on cancer incidence because of their positive attitudes towards health and breast cancer screening. This is especially relevant because South Asians now constitute one of the largest minority populations in the US and their incidence of breast cancer is steadily increasing.

This thesis aims to analyze the political, social, and cultural activities of the Acehnese ethnic group living in Jakarta, Indonesia. Based on analysis, this thesis examines how their ethnicity and national identity have been formed and expressed. For this purpose, this study deals with Taman Iskandar Muda (hereinafter referred to as TIM), a group of Acehnese transmigrants living in Jakarta. The immigration of the Acehnese to Jakarta started in the 1950s and the number of Acehnese people living in Jakarta persently amounts to 100,000. TIM, which was organized by the first generational of immigrants, functions to group Acehnese immigrants of various generations and class. Forum Keprihatinan Untuk Aceh(hereinafter referred to as Forka), an organization designed to solve the political problems of TIM, undertook various activities to maintain the peace of Aceh as the representative of TIM. Through those activities, TIM and Forka were able to confirm the feeling of homogeneity among the Acehnese who were living in their hometown and also strengthen their identity within the organizations. However, the fact that TIM and Forka put their focus on humanitarian activities paradoxically shows the political limitations that they sustain. TIM and Forka take care not to make their humanitarian activities seem as if they intend to openly strengthen their Acehnese identity and deny their Indonesian one. These political characteristics of Forka's identity are commonly found in groups that practice long-distance nationalism, as transmigrants in diaspora circumstances do. In the organization of TIM, there exists the menasah, which is a space where discussions of the ethnicity and the nation are practiced. As it is the space for local exchange, menasah reveals the identity of TIM through educational/social activities and public services. Menasah functions as the public arena where people practice ethnic identity on the basis of national integration. As a minority ethnic group living in Jakarta and its neighborhood, they are accustomed to double and selective political activities, social activities, and cultural practices. In order to adapt themselves to the double circumstance that they are faced with, they should live extemporaneously, and this life may be the fate that minority ethnic and transmigrants should endure.

In this paper, I examined the history of Baizu that the Brief History presented. PRC created Baizu as one the 55 ethnic minority nations, as it "nationalized" all the people living within its territorial boundary. And it constructed the narrative of the "ethnic history" of Baizu, while it constructed the grand narrative of the history of the unified, multinational "zhonghua minzu." There are two major problems in the historical narrative of Baizu, thus constructed. First, the genealogy of the ancestors of Baizu constructed by PRC lacks sufficient historical evidence to prove it. Second, the politically-driven ethnic classification project by PRC produced ethnic minority nation, which does not have their own territory and Baizu was one of them. Because of this, the history of Baizu, who historically lived mixed with other ethnic groups together in Yunnan, cannot help but becoming a part of the larger Yunnan history, rather than constituting a history of an ethnic group. Then, what would be a historically sensible way to write a history of ethnic minorities in Yunnan, who have not transformed themselves into a modern nation? What I would like to suggest is, first, to abandon the construction of the history of Baizu as an ethnic group. I also suggest to distinguish Yunnan from China (zhongguo) as a unit of historical writing, and thus to cut the relationship between the Baizu history and the larger history of the unified, multitethnic "zhonghua minzu." The narrative of the Chinese history (history of Zhongguo), which takes the PRC's current territorial boundary as the unit of historical narrative, lacks historical objectivity. Names for historical communities survive, because they have been used by those who have lived in the communities as well as by other historical communities. Members of a certain historical community occupy distinctive historical space and share common historical experience. And their historical experience is mainly informed by political changes that affected the space that the historical community occupies. If one constructs the history of "Yunnan" as a distinctive historical space and community, which could be distinguished from the historical "China" (zhongguo), one may be able to construct the history of the people of Yunnan in its fullest sense.

본 연구는 교육소외 계층에 속한 학생들의 수학학습을 돕고자 시도되었다. 이를 위해 2011년 초 겨울방학 3개월을 이용하여 자원하는 학생 소수를 대상으로 탈북학생 집단과 저소득층 학생 집단에게 15차시의 보충학습이 각각 제공되었고 관찰과 면담, 그리고 녹음을 통해 자료수집이 이루어졌다. 수학학습에서 탈북학생과 저소득층 학생 모두 학습부진아들의 특징을 나타내었다. 용어에 대한 정확한 개념습득이 부족해서 설명을 하지 못하였고, 정의와 정리에 대한 이해의 정도가 낮아 그 의미를 사용해야 할 곳에 적절히 사용하지 못하는 것도 유사하였다. 게다가 확실하지 않은 지식으로 인하여 자료의 이용도 제대로 하지 못하였고, 집중력이 떨어져 부주의로 인한 오류도 자주 나타나는 것으로 보였다. 차이점으로는 탈북학생들은 남한이 외래어(영어)를 그대로 사용하는 언어적 표현에 익숙하지 않아 발생하는 기술적 오류, 한자어 해석 오류, 잘못 이용된 자료 등 오류의 특징이 생소함에서 오는 오류가 많은 반면, 저소득층 학생들은 이미 들어서 알고 있으나 연습부족에 의한 부주의가 많은 특징을 보였다.
