  • As North Korea passed from the Devotion (Jeongseong) movement to the black market (Jangmadang) system, the medical service system in that country was effectively destroyed. North Korean physicians who have successfully defected to South Korea (North Korean defector physicians, NKDPs) have experienced socio-economic hardships on their way to becoming incorporated into the South Korean medical system due to different medico- social cultures, different (English-based) medical terminology, and the clinical knowledge gap between North and South Korea. Since 2009, we have operated programs at the Seoul Medical Center to help NKDPs prepare for the South Korean medical licensing examination. These programs consist of clinical education at the medical center, personal mentoring, arrangement of educational programs at the medical college, mock tests at the consortium, and administrative aid. Looking forward, we hope to achieve the following: 1) More systematic support plans are needed involving medical education experts, field physicians, and experts on reunification. 2) An evaluation of defector physicians' current medical knowledge may provide information about the areas where supplementary education is most needed and the standards for certificating licenses. 3) In the short term, a customized glossary should be developed to assist defector physicians prepare for the examination. 4) To secure internships and residencies is the most important issue for further sustained training of NKDP physicians to become good clinicians after certification. Hopefully, this short report on the current ongoing educational course will lead to more extensive discussion.

  • The purpose of this study is to understand a migrant women's married life. The study examined migrant Filipino women's married lives, motives for marriage and migration to Korea, and their married life experiences. The results showed that these women get married to Korean men in pursuit of an economically better life to support their family in the Philippines through marriage migration. As for Filipino women's perceived difficulties in married life, they indicated hardships with redrawing the boundaries of nationality, as well as their husbands' faults or bad habits which are different from what they expected before marriage. Other difficulties mentioned were the peculiar culture of living with parents-in-law, and general difficulties in married life. This study showed that marriage migration results not from external pressure or motives but ultimately from their own decision in a social and cultural context. It was also implicated that Korea's superior position to the Philippines in international economic power has an effect on family relations. The boundaries of nationality are redrawn according to their married life. In addition, it was revealed that the Korean born children of migrant mothers who divorce because of difficulties in married life are in a very poor situation as their national identity depends on their mother's future marriage relations.

  • During the 1990s, North Korea suffered from severe economic hardships in the aftermath of the collapse of the Soviet bloc and massive floods; North Korea is still has not escaped this suffering. South Korea has pursued various inter-Korean cooperation projects to help North Korea open and develop its economy; however, there are limited successful cases for improvement in North Korea. It is imperative to define a long-term strategy through analysis of key success factors for inter-Korean cooperation in order to develop more successful cases of inter-Korean cooperation; however, limited studies have been conducted to analyze successful inter-Korean cooperation projects. This study selects the "Seed Potato Project" (implemented by the World Vision) as a successful case to be analyzed and identifies key success factors for inter-Korean cooperation. As illustrated in previous studies, the results of the analysis of success factors of a "Seed Potato Project" from a trust-building perspective has revealed that this project follows key success factors like openness, integrity, consistency, and benevolence. In the last section of this report, this study also presents important policy implications to develop future successful cases for inter-Korean cooperation.

  • Nowaday, there have a lot of changes in the demands of the aged persons. Their problems also came to the fore with diverse forms under the influences of industrialization, urbanization and nuclear family. To make the matter worse, the aged population is mounting rapidly. Also, such structure as nuclear family is widely disseminating uncomfortable to the aged. People is mainly being guided by self interest above everything else. Indeed, they had, all together, bad effects on our traditional value system regarding 'respect for the aged and devotion to patients'. It seems unfortunately obvious that the family responsibility is gradually weakening to support the old who is a dependent family. The result is that the aged must have suffered all sorts of hardships in lightenning psychological, physical and economical difficulties. First, to grasp the situations and conditions supporting for single aged persons from each view of psychological, emotional, family-relational, healthy, social and economical standpoints, and second, to analyze their own recognition levels thinking of their health conditions and the relationships between the supporting environments of old family dependants and their psychological healths and then finally, to propose suggestions being able to be helpful for living comfortably in an old age and thereby, building up good family relation. The statistical techniques used to analyze 115 respondents living in Puchun city are frequency, $x^2$ test, t-Jest, ANOVA, Pearson's Correlation Coefficiency and Regression analysis (SPSS package), pertnent to prove the hypothesis suggested in this paper. Of course, it is needless to say that more data are needed on this point. However, several main research findings can be summarized as follows: First, the better single aged persons may be in the habit of eating a meal and the higher they may think of their physical health conditions and movement, the more they want to participate in economic activities to be free from economical dependence upon their children and to overcome lonliness. Second, single aged women appear to have had higher ability to take care their health for themself than single aged men do. It is why signle aged women do not, in general, have big problems to manage their health. But, as shown in this paper, single aged person"s were more liable to the diseases of the aged and, thereby, requiring special medical treatment badly to be healthy. Third. single aged persons revealed potential desires to free themself from socio economic dependence upon their children even in simple labor Job which can draw a monthly salary of about W200, 000. Fourth, they are generally satisfied with their children's filial piety toward them. Nonethless, most of them appear to be reluctantly dependent upon their children and live lonly lives very much. Fifth, they seem to have some hesitation in expressing their candid opinions as that then are some others along with family environmental factors for psychological and emotiona stability. Accordingly, it is safe to conclude by saying that much attention should' be paid no only to socio-economic supports and better medical services for the aged but also to political supports of the society and towards their children for the aged's emotiona support, for improving the quality of their lives in old age and promoting efficiency in suporting for old family dependants.

  • 본 연구에서는 경기, 전북, 경북의 전업농을 대상으로 한 설문조사를 기초로 농산물 무역 자유화 및 농촌의 사회경제적 문제에 대한 농민들의 견해와 그 지역적 차이를 살펴보았다. 농업부문이 보호주의 및 규율체제에서 무역 자유화를 통한 자유시장경쟁체제로 전환됨에 따라 농민들은 세계시장체제에 직접적으로 노출되어 농업 기술과 경영면에서의 현대화를 강요받고 있다. 농민들은 원칙적으로 세계시장체제로의 통합에 대해서 긍정적 반응을 보이고 있으나 실제 이행되고 있는 자유시장정책들에 대해서는 부정적 반응을 보이고 있다. 설문조사 분석결과 농민들의 생활환경에 대한 만족도, 정부의 농업정책 노동력 부족 및 농촌의 다양한 사회경제적 이슈들에 대한 관심과 우려는 지역간 차이를 보였다. 대체로 급속한 도시화를 겪고 있는 경기도의 농민들보다는 전북과 경북 농민들의 정부의 농업정책에 대한 회의적인 반응이 높게 나타났다. 자유시장경제체제의 메커니즘을 경험하지 못한 농민들은 Uruguay Round 협정의 완결 및 WTO의 New Round출범으로 앞으로 더 증폭된 경제적 불확실성을 겪을 것으로 보인다. 이는 농업 및 농촌 관련 정책들이 보다 장기적 이고 거시적 경제계획의 틀을 바탕으로 지역적으로 상이한 농업구조와 특색에 맞추어 입안.실행될 필요가 있음을 강조한다.

  • 현재적 관점이지만 북한은 고난의 행군이라는 체제 위기 상황을 극복했다. 충분히 체제가 전복될 수도 있었던 상황을 극복한 원동력은 무엇이었을까. 본 연구에서는 국가적 위기 상황에서 북한 당국이 집단적 마음을 형성시키기 위해 기록영화를 통해 어떤 전략을 취했는지를 살펴보고자 했다. 분석 결과, 첫째, 인민에게 영웅적 환타지의 주인공이 될 것을 강조하고 있다. 강한 정신력으로 고난을 돌파한 모범 사례들을 해답으로 제시한 것이다. 둘째, 패배주의를 경계하고 승리의식을 고취시키고 있다. 이미 닥쳐온 경제문제의 돌파구로 집단적 마음의 통합을 강조하고 있다. 셋째, 주민의 동질적 마음 형성에 역점을 두고 있다. 현재까지도 강조되고 있는 공산주의적 도덕성의 회복을 반복하고 있는 것이다. 집단적 마음이라는 것도 결국 사회적 경험으로 얻은 결과물이다. 북한은 기록영화를 통해 집단의식의 발현으로 비록 현실은 고단하지만, 고난의 행군을 낙원의 행군길로 전환시킬 것을 역설하고 있다.

  • Today, the Korean fisheries is undergoing significant hardships, both domestically and internationally. While declining amount of catch, ascending international oil prices and others pose a compelling challenge to the fishing sector, the ever strengthening influence of international institutions related to fisheries and international trade organizations also compel to bring about myriad of changes in the realm of fishery products. Against the backdrop, this study attempted to examine the fisheries catch, aquaculture, service, processing fields in terms of its rippling effect and of how the industry has been changed by analyzing the past and present through an input-output analysis. As for research methods, 168 items of the input-output tables in 2000, 2005, 2009, and 2010 were integrated to form and classify 32 sectors (28 basic sectors + catch, aquaculture, fishery service, processed fishery products) so as to generate production inducement coefficient, sensitivity coefficient, and impact coefficient. The analysis results revealed that : though the linkage effect of fishery industry was not very sizable, the impact coefficient of the processed fishery products was high; the consumption and investment coefficient sector among production inducement coefficient was on an upturn trend ; the export coefficient was tended to decline. In the future research, it is necessary to carry out a study based on the integration of detailed classification (404 sector) and a study and analysis of fishery industry by different regions through the inter-regional input-output tables. The fishery industry is one of the crucial industries in Korea. The fishery industry is not only important in its own right but also significant as it exerts influence over other industries. Therefore, it is required that there should be more investment and supports for the development of the fishery industry, and pay efforts to ensure that the investment and development could lead to mutual growth for both the fishery and other various industries.

  • 최근 유통산업의 성장과정에서 신유통업태의 등장과 대형할인점의 다점포화 전략으로 유통환경이 급변하고 있다. 경쟁이 격화됨에 따라 대형할인점들은 저가격 전략 및 상품차별화 등을 위해 유통업체브랜드(Private Brand: PB) 개발을 확대하고 있다. 그러나 장기적 경기불황으로 인해 실용적이고 합리적 사고를 가지고 있는 신세대 주부 및 직장인이 주요 고객층으로 자리 잡으면서 과거 지향해 오던 저가전략은 더 이상 새로운 것이 될 수 없게 되었다. 한편, 최근 대형할인점들은 신규고객 확보를 위해 지방 출점을 강화하고 있다. 그러나 지역간 소비자 태도, 소득 및 소비패턴 등의 격차로 인하여 지방출점의 어려움을 겪고 있다. 이에 대형할인점들은 출점지역의 고객 특성에 대한 체계적인 이해와 유통업체브랜드(PB)의 소비자 선호의 지역간 특성 차이를 확인하는 것이 필수적인 과제가 되었다. 즉, 이러한 유통업체의 경쟁적 지방 점포확장과 소비자의 가치관의 변화는 지역간 출점을 앞두고 있는 대형할인점에 대한 PB상품 선호와 구매행동에 대한 연구를 요구하고 있다. 이에 본 연구는 소비자의 관점에서 선행연구를 토대로 PB상품 선호도와 선택된 변수들을 중심으로 유통업체 브랜드 제품의 구매의도와 관련하여 경기지역 도시의 지역간 차이가 존재하는지를 분석하는데 그 목적을 두고 있다.

  • This thesis examines contemporary Chinese painting after the Cultural Revolution(1966~76), focusing upon so-called "Chinese Pop art", which I termed as "Socialist Pop art". I considered the art of this period within the broader context of social changes especially after the Tienanmen incident of 1989. After the Cultural Revolution during which idolization of Chairman Mao was at its peak, one of the major changes in communist China was that an anti-Mao wave was generated in almost every social class. For example, novels that revealed the hardships during the Cultural Revolution were published. Posters that openly criticized the Maoism were also produced and displayed on the walls, and demand for democracy spurred widespread activist movements among young generations. These broad social changes were also reflected in art. A variety of art movements were introduced from the West to China, and after a period of experimentation with the new imported styles, artists began to apply the new artistic idiom to their works in order to visualize their own social and political realities they lived in. It was a shift from earlier Socialist Realism to a new expression either directly or indirectly, "Socialist Pop", an amalgam of Socialist Realism and Pop art tradition. After the 1989 crackdown of Tienanmen Square protest, when communist government quelled with brutal measures the students, workers, and ordinary people who rose for democracy, greater urge to protest the Deng Xiaoping regime emerged. This time coincided with the gradual emergence of art using Pop art vocabulary to satirize the social reality, the Socialist Pop art, along with many other art forms all with avant-garde spirit. One of the most frequent subjects of Chinese Pop art was visual images of Chairman Mao and his Cultural Revolution, and new China that was saturated with capitalism, which tainted the Chinese way of life with a Western way of consumerism and commercialism. The reason for the popularity of Mao's image was spurred by the "Mao Craze" in the early 1990's. People suddenly began to fall in a kind of nostalgia for the past, and once again, Mao Zedong was idolized as an entity who can heal the problems of modern China who had been marching towards their ultimate destination, the economic development. But this time Chairman Mao was no more an idol but just a popular, commercial product. He is no more an object of worship of almost religious nature but he has become an iconography symbolizing the complex nature of present Chinese society. During this process of depicting the social reality, Chinese artists are making the authority and sanctity of Maoism ineffective. Dealing with this new trend of contemporary Chinese art in view of "Socialist Pop art" two manners of re-creating Pop art can be illustrated: one that incorporates the propaganda posters of the Cultural Revolution; the other borrows from Chinese traditional popular imagery or mass media, such as photos taken during Mao era. What is worth mentioning is that these posters and photos of the Cultural Revolution can be identified as 'popular' media, as they were directed to educate the popular mass, thus combination of this ingenuous pop media with Western Pop art can be fully justified as a genre unique to China. Through this genre, we can discover a new chapter of the Chinese contemporary painting and its society, as their Pop art can be considered as self-portraits true to their present appearances.
