  • Purposes: The purpose of this study was to analyze the association between discrimination experience and quality of life among non-regular workers in hospitals. Methodology: The data was collected from 292 employees of 7 university hospitals using a standardized questionnaire. In research methodology, the data was analyzed with descriptive statistics, t-test, ANOVA, pearson's correlation, multiple regression analysis. Findings: In case of non-regular workers, inequality of distribution, position unfairness, employment instability, number of discrimination experiences were found to have a negative(-) effect on quality of life. Religion, income in general characteristics had a significant positive(+) effect on quality of life. And the discrimination of non-regular woman workers was higher and the quality of life was lower than that of men. Practical Implications: These results showed that hospitals needed active efforts to create non-regular woman-friendly work environment. In addition, active religious activities gave emotional stability and positive effect to no-regular workers.

  • Illness intrusiveness(illness induced lifestyle disruption) was investigated in 902 patients with arthritis and compared between rheumatoid arthritis(N=439) and osteoarthritis(N=463) patients. Arthritis patients were reported to perceive illness intrusiveness similar to patients with ESRD(end stage renal disease), bipolar disorder and peritoneal dialysis. Especially they were intrusive into health, work, and active recreation domains. And patients with rheumatoid arthritis were significantly more intrusive into activities, especially in diet, financial situation, family relations, other social relations, self-expression/self improvement, religious expression, and community and civic involvement. Differences in treatment regimens and age were hypothesized to account for these differences in illness intrusiveness.

  • Artemisia vulgaris, one of the most religious plants in Nepal, is used in the treatment of various ailments. In this study, antioxidative activity of essential oil from A. vulgaris was evaluated, using different in vitro methods and antimicrobial activity by disc diffusion method against skin disease microorganisms such as Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus epidermidis, Streptococcus pyogenes, Candida albicans and Propionibacterium acnes. The essential oil exhibited a concentration-dependent antioxidant activity. It showed strong metal chelating activity with low reducing and antioxidant power. However, gradual increase in radical scavenging activity was obtained with increasing concentration and reaction time. It also possessed a broad spectrum of antimicrobial activity and notable susceptibility was observed against S. pyogenes and P. acnes.

  • Flannery O'Connor's stories have garnered critical attention for her religious views. Thus, the interpretation of violence in her fiction has been mainly associated with salvation in her characters. Nonetheless, O'Connor was aware of the historical facts surrounding white supremacist activities in the American South. In its revenge narrative, O'Connor's story "The Displaced Person" (1955) unveils subtle layers of politics from the Ku Klux Klan as well as her white characters' views of race and immigrants. O'Connor used a voice of reserve due to her minority position as woman and Catholic. Although she was a white female, she lived within repressive Southern religiosity. Racism prevailed beneath Southern chauvinism and patriotism. The conflicts in the South display the violent aspects of the "Invisible White Supreme Empire." After the World Wars, devalued whiteness elicited atrocities against socially upward mobile African Americans, foreigners and Catholics. This article explores the convoluted issues of racial hierarchy, miscegenation, and xenophobic reactions in the South.

'서발턴(subaltern)'의 관점에서 본 한국의 자생 신종교 사상 - 수운, 증산, 소태산의 비교를 중심으로 - (A Comparative Analysis of the New Religious Thought Generated by Indigenous Korean Religions from a Subaltern Perspective: Focusing on Choi Je-woo, Kang Il-sun, and Park Jungbin)

  • 근대 한국의 자생 신종교의 창시자인 수운 최제우, 증산 강일순, 소태산 박중빈 등은 모두 몰락한 양반 출신의 '잔반'(殘班)으로서, 본격적인 종교활동에 앞서 시골 서당의 훈장, 농민, 장사꾼, 술사(術士) 등의 활동을 통해 생계를 꾸려나갔으며, 상층 양반으로부터 하층 상놈으로 전락하여 주변화된 서발턴적 위상으로 인해 다양한 서발턴들의 표현할 수 없는 염원과 원한을 종교적으로 대표/재현할 수 있었다. 그러나 기성 질서의 질곡을 폭로하고 일탈하면서도 새로운 대안 질서를 이념으로 제시하지 않았던 조선 후기 '밀레니엄적 주변종교' 운동과는 달리, 이들은 모두 지배층의 서발턴적 규제와 억압을 전복시키고 기성질서를 대체할 수 있는 '후천개벽'의 새로운 대안적 비전을 체계적으로 제시하고 실천한 '유토피아적 대안종교'로서 탈-서발턴(post-subaltern)적 종교를 제시하였다. 이 글에서는 이들의 사상이 서발턴을 대표/재현할 뿐만 아니라 새로운 종교적-사회적 주체로서 탈-서발턴의 사회적 비전을 구현하는 다양한 양상을 비교하여 분석함으로써 근대 한국의 자생적 신종교가 유토피아적 대안종교 사상임을 논증하였다.

  • 순례는 거의 모든 주요 종교에서 나타나는 현상으로서 전통적으로 외적으로는 성스러운 장소로, 내적으로는 정신적인 목적과 내적 이해를 위한 종교적 여행으로 정의되어왔다. 하지만 오늘날 순례와 종교 관습 간의 관계는 추상적 차원의 거의 모든 종류의 여행, 심지어는 연차휴가와 같이 정기적으로 반복되는 여행으로까지 확대되고 있다. 다시 말해, 현대의 순례자들은 많은 다양한 이유로 여행을 시작하므로, 순례는 사실상 역사적인 성소에 신앙을 목적으로 한 방문으로 그 의미를 제한할 수 없게 되었다. 이와 같은 맥락에서 순례를 관광의 일부로 간주하려는 시각이 문화콘텐츠나 관광을 중심으로 한 다양한 실용학문 분야에서 대두하고 있다. 순례를 종교적 제의로서가 아니라 종교관광으로 분류하려는 시도가 빈번한데, 그것은 산업적 측면에서도 매력적인 시장이기 때문이다. 순례를 경제적 가치의 측면에서 바라보려는 시각은 결과적으로 종교를 세속주의(secularism)의 조류 속에 포함하는 행위이며 한국에서 걷기 열풍을 타고 유행처럼 번져가는 '길'의 경험과 순례를 동일 선상에 놓음으로써 순례길의 경험이 던져주는 종교성(religiosity)을 포함한 고귀한 인간 정신은 자칫 길을 잃을 위험에 처하게 되었다. 이런 관점에서 본 논문은 순례의 내적 의미를 추구하고 변화와 개인적 성장을 희망하는 모든 사람을 위한 정신의 이동 통로이어야 한다는 전제하에 대순진리회의 지고신인 강증산의 순례길 개발을 제언하고자 한다. 증산 순례길은 단순히 장소의 성스러움을 만나기 위한 여행으로, 그리고 종교적 기억과 회상의 공간으로만 한정할 수 없다. 이를 위해서는 성지의 개념을 새롭게 정의하거나 분류할 필요가 있다.

  • The purpose of this study was to investigate the differences in time use between Korean and American high school students. The data sources were the '2009 Time Use Survey' conducted by Korea National Statistical Office and the '2009 ATUS (American Time Use Survey)' conducted by Labor Statistics Division in the U.S.. 1,734 Korean diaries (1,311 on weekdays and 423 on Sundays) and 321 American diaries (208 on weekdays and 113 on Sundays) from high school students of 15 to 18 years of age were analyzed. Descriptive statistics and t-test were used for the statistical analysis. The time use patterns of Korean students on weekdays and Sundays were different than those of their American counterparts. On weekdays and Sundays, the sleeping time of Korean students was 2 hours less than the time of their American counterparts. Koreans studied more, nearly double the time of their American counterparts on weekdays and five times more on Sundays. The study-oriented time allocation of Korean students resulted in less leisure time than the American students. Korean students spent their leisure time of more than 30 minutes participating in social activities, media, and hobbies, and their time allocation to volunteer work and religious activities were nil. On Sundays, the time for studying by Korean students was more than five times longer than that spending by their American counterparts. Koreans used their leisure time of 6 hours and 47 minutes mainly for media, hobbies and social activities. The participation rate of volunteering by Korean students was only 0.5%, though it was 31.0% for the Americans. For a study-life balance for Korean students, it was recommended that trends toward time management and social policy should increase the time allocation to sleeping, housework, work, sports, and volunteering and decrease the time use in studying and hobbies.
