Purpose: This study aimed to identify factors associated with the self-rated health of married immigrant women in South Korea. Methods: Data, collected in August 2018, were derived from the 2018 National Multicultural Family Survey. Study subjects were 9,230 married immigrant women. Data were analyzed using logistic regression. Results: Of the study subjects, 23.2% rated their health as poor. Results showed that individual factors (age, ethnic affiliation, duration in South Korea, and depressive symptoms); social and community networks (relationship with spouse, parenting efficacy, Korean proficiency, perceived discrimination, social support, and social activities); and living and working conditions (life satisfaction and unmet heath needs) were associated with health. Married immigrant women in their 50s or older, living in Korea for more than 15 years, experiencing depressive symptoms, low life satisfaction, and having unmet health needs were especially at high risk of poor health. Conclusion: More detailed health policy that considers age, length of stay, and country of origin. To prevent the rapidly deteriorating health of married immigrant women after middle age, mental health support should be given priority, and systematic improvement is needed to increase accessibility healthcare services.

This paper explores the influence of Arab culture on the culture of Bugis-Makassar, the two major ethnic groups in South Sulawesi, Indonesia, particularly after their Islamization in the early 17^th century. The paper argues that since then, the on-going process of Islamization in the region has also brought a continuous flow of ideas and cultural practices from Mecca to Indonesia by means of the hajj pilgrims, Arab traders, and the establishment of Islamic educational institutions that emphasized the teaching and use of Arabic language in education. These factors, among others, have facilitated a cultural inflow which enabled cultural practices borne of West Asia (Middle East) to be integrated into local customs and beliefs. The paper particularly depicts the most observable forms of Arabic cultural integration, acculturation, and assimilation into the Bugis-Makassar culture such as the use of Arabic in Islamic schools and religious sermons; the Arab-style dressing by religious scholars, teachers, and students; the wearing of the hijab (head cover) by women; and the change of people's names from local into Arabic. By utilizing the historical and anthropological approach, this paper investigates this dynamic process of adaptation and integration of a foreign culture that first came through the Islamization of a local culture, exploring the role of an Islamic missionary and educational institutions in mediating and maintaining such cultural integration processes.

From the time it was propagated to Vietnam until it was forced to relinquish its leadership position in both politics and philosophy, Confucianism in Vietnam was never orthodox Confucianism. This study employs the theory of invented tradition to examine how Confucianism penetrated the ethnic Vietnamese community at the turn of the first millennium and points out its vital requirement: the construction of a Chinese-style centralized administrative government based on Neo-Confucianism. This requirement unfolded during the Le So Dynasty in the fifteenth century. Moreover, the theory of invented tradition can also be applied to discover the motivation behind Neo-Confucianism's process of manufacturing orthodoxy to speed up the goal of Sinicization. Somehow, the launching of the imperial examination system, meant to fulfill a system of bureaucracy, ended up resolving one of the greatest challenges of medieval times. It is to seek the ruler's uncritical submission to the ruled. This article applies hauntology to analyze two forms of Confucianism discourse in Vietnam. In doing so, this study determined that Confucianism evolved into its own unique system of thought in Vietnam and in the end, was not even recognizable as Confucianism. Throughout Vietnam's turbulent history, Confucianism shifted from a symbol of progress to one of backwardness. This culminated Vietnam's preoccupation with the de-Sinicization during the early twenty-first century.

Background: Chinese and Korean Americans have lower colorectal cancer (CRC) screening rates than other racial/ ethnic groups, which may be explained by a low level of CRC knowledge and a high level of misconceptions. This study explores the role of knowledge in CRC screening among these groups. Methods: Chinese (N=59) and Korean (N=61) Americans older than 50 were recruited from the Washington D.C. Metropolitan area. They completed a detailed survey and participated in focus groups to discuss their knowledge on CRC and CRC screening. Seventeen physicians, community leaders, and patient navigators participated in key informant interviews. Using a mixed methods approach, data were analyzed quantitatively and qualitatively. Results: Participants lacked knowledge about CRC and CRC screening. More than half did not know that screening begins at age 50 and there are several types of tests available. More than 30% thought CRC screening was not necessary if there were no symptoms or there was nothing they could do to prevent CRC. Focus group findings suggested understanding about CRC was limited by an inadequate source of linguistically and culturally relevant health information. For example, many participants considered CRC a western condition mainly caused by unhealthy diet. This led to under-estimations about their susceptibility to CRC. Knowledge was positively associated with self-reported screening. Participants who had higher knowledge scores were more likely to report ever having had a colonoscopy and confidence in ability to have CRC screening. Conclusions: Mixed-methods analysis provides multi-faceted perspectives on CRC knowledge and its influence on screening. Study findings can help inform interventions to increase CRC screening among Chinese and Korean Americans.

Background: Breast cancer is the most common cancer and the leading cause of cancer mortality among women of all ethnic and age groups in Malaysia. Delay in seeking help for breast cancer symptoms is preventable and by identifying possible factors for delayed diagnosis, patient prognosis and survival rates could be improved. Objectives: This narrative review aimed to understand and evaluate the level of in-depth breast cancer knowledge in terms of clinical breast examination and breast self-examination, and other important aspects such as side-effects and risk factors in Malaysian females. Since Malaysia is multicultural, this review assessed social perceptions, cultural beliefs and help-seeking behaviour in respect to breast cancer among different ethnic groups, since these may impinge on efforts to 'avoid' the disease. Materials and Methods: A comprehensive literature search of seven databases was performed from December 2015 to January 2015. Screening of relevant published journals was also undertaken to identify available information related to the knowledge, perception and help-seeking behaviour of Malaysian women in relation to breast cancer. Results: A total of 42 articles were appraised and included in this review. Generally, women in Malaysia had good awareness of breast cancer and its screening tools, particularly breast self-examination, but only superficial in-depth knowledge about the disease. Women in rural areas had lower levels of knowledge than those in urban areas. It was also shown that books, magazines, brochures and television were among the most common sources of breast cancer information. Delay in presentation was attributed mainly to a negative social perception of the disease, poverty, cultural and religion practices, and a strong influence of complementary and alternative medicine, rather than a lack of knowledge. Conclusions: This review highlighted the need for an intensive and in-depth breast cancer education campaigns using media and community health programmes, even with the existing good awareness of breast cancer. This is essential in order to avoid misconceptions and to frame the correct mind-set about breast cancer among women in Malaysia. Socio-cultural differences and religious practices should be taken into account by health care professionals when advising on breast cancer. Women need to be aware of the risk factors and symptoms of breast cancer so that early diagnosis can take place and the chances of survival improved.

This study is intended to understand an implication system and significance in the current community which a body image symbolizes by correlating it with fashion that is on the rise as a principal issue in various fields. For this study, the symbolism of the body image was contemplated in terms of philosophy and art, and then on the basis of it, the symbolism of the body image shown in modern fashion design was analyzed through fashion works. The research results are as follows, 1. The manifestation of sex can be taken as the symbolism of the body image which is expressed in modern fashion design. Recently sexual chaos and vagueness such as homosexuality and bisexuality are expressed through a dress and its ornaments. Though displaying sexual characteristics of male and female as they are exposing a sign or a diagram, decorating a part of body or representing sex in garments, uncertain sex identity in modern society is manifested in dress and its ornaments. It is to deny absoluteness regarding sex and emphasize diversity indwelt in human beings, and after all it shows to pursue the human essence. 2. Another symbolism of the body image is body expression as the human race and an ethnic group. The discriminating situations and the restoration of their status appeared in modern fashion too. Moreover, their cultures and issues came to alter the aesthetic standard of body made from a view of the Western white supremacist. Hereupon, fashion trends like ethnic fashion, Orientalism and African look etc. appear according to this tendency, which represents race and national identity and in addition, which signifies to present transcendental human conception embracing alienated human conception. 3. The symbolism of the body image expressed in a body, and a dress and its ornaments as nature can be considered in terms of the concern on environmental contamination and the respect of echo system. Getting away from reigning over, developing and stamping down nature at their will, the human beings pursue unity with nature, which is described in fashion. They are stressing that natural materials and objects such as animal, plant and soil etc. should activily be introduced into fashion and humans are a communal fate group and should reframe their status in nature at last. 4. The body image shown in a body, a dress and its ornaments as technology is transformed and recreated by modern scientific techniques and medical science to show post human conception namely, forthcoming future human conception as a cyborg which loses individual identity. This presents a perfect future human conception with high level of preternatural power but after all, leaves us a task to seek the meaning of human existence in alienation caused by the loss of human identity and existence. In this manner, the moderns crave for perceiving the identity of a natural human being in the current thoughts tendency of the modern times such as postmodernism, post structuralism, deconstructionism, feminism and so on, which build discussions affecting the art and fashion worlds. The categories, like sexual characteristics indwelt in a human body, racial classifications, the natural environment surrounding human beings and development of science, bring out the importance of the internal and external meaning in today's fashion which a human body contains, and present sew human conception in the coming future society.

본고에서는 청말(淸末) 중국 지식인들 사이에서 널리 유행한 황제신화(黃帝神話)와 전통적인 황제(黃帝)전설과의 괴리를 살피고, 나아가 근대중국 '네이션(민족)'구조 형성의 역사과정과 그것이 내포하고 있는 모순, 또 그로 인해 야기되었던 수많은 사회적 충돌에 대해 살피고자 하였다. '네이션(혹 민족)'은 일종 '상상(想像)의 공동체'로서 근대적인 창조물임이 틀림없다. 그럼에도 이러한 '상상'을 하는 행위자들은 항상 그 시선을 아득히 먼 과거에로 돌리고자 한다. 즉 민족의 기원에 확실한 '역사적 근거'를 마련하고자 한다는 것이다. '황제(黃帝)'라는 존재가 바로 이러한 청(淸)왕조 말기라는 시대상황의 수요에 의해 '중화민족'의 시조로 정립되었던 것이며, 20세기 중국 민족의 기호[심볼]로 자리매김하였다. 황제(黃帝)라는 이 기호[심볼]를 중심으로 한 중국 민족의 창조는 청(淸)의 통치를 종식시키고자 한 반만혁명(反滿革命)이라는 현실 정치에 그 목적을 두고 있었으며, 혈연적인 연관성에 바탕을 둔 배타적인 공동체 구성에 불과할 수밖에 없었다. 민족에 관한 '상상'은 단선적으로 진행되는 것만은 아니다. 예를 들어 20세기 초, 논란의 초점으로 된 '황제기년(黃帝紀年)'과 '공자기년(孔子紀年)'의 논쟁은 두 가지 서로 다른 민족관념의 충돌이었다. 또 일부 한족(漢族) 지식인들은 '황제(黃帝)'의 종족개념을 확대하여 '대민족주의(大民族主義)'로써 '소민족주의(小民族主義)'를 대체하고자 하였다. 일부 만주족(滿洲族) 출신의 학자들도 '황제(黃帝)의 후예'임을 자처하면서 스스로의 역사기억을 새롭게 쓰고자 시도하게 된다. 결국 근대 중국의 민족구조를 당시의 정치 문화적인 상황과 연관시켜 분석해봤을 때, 지극히 구조적인 기호[심볼]로써 '황제(黃帝)'관념은 사실상 여러 세력들이 자신들의 이익을 실현시키고자 각축전을 벌였던 하나의 치열한 투쟁의 장(場)이었던 것이다. 한 중 일 동아시아 3국은 역사문제를 해결함에 있어, 이성적(理性的)인 접근보다는 항상 민족주의라는 감성적(感性的)인 목소리를 앞세우곤 한다. 특별히 중국은 경제대국화와 함께 사회 구성원들의 이탈을 방지하고자, '중화민족'이라는 가상의 공동체 형성에 힘을 기울이고 있는 것이 사실이다. 또 이러한 시도가 극에 치달을 경우, 자칫 동아시아에 커다란 부정적인 영향을 미칠 것은 역사적 경험으로부터도 충분히 짐작 가능한 것이다. 역자(譯者)로서는 이러한 서양에서 이미 거의 폐기되다시피 된 구시대적인 민족주의 일변도의 접근에 제동을 걸 필요가 있다고 생각한다. 최근 들어, 베네딕트 엔더슨의 "상상의 공동체(민족주의의 기원과 전파에 대한 성찰) Imagined communities: reflections on the origin and spread of nationalism" (윤형숙 역, 나남출판, 2002)가 한국 학계에 널리 소개면서 민족주의에 대한 성찰의 목소리가 높아지고 있다. 이러한 시점에서 민족주의에 관한, 특히나 중국의 민족주의의 형성에 관한 본고가 가져다주는 의미 또한 남다르다. 물론 본고 역시 이론의 틀은 "상상의 공동체"의 것에서 크게 벗어나지는 않지만, 그러한 이론의 틀에 '중국민족의 형성' 이라는 구체적인 사례를 끼워 맞춰 봤을 때 우리가 현재 알고 있는 '사실'과는 전연 다른 새로운 결과를 보여주고 있다는 점에서 참신한 시도라고 보아진다. 따라서 이러한 이론의 틀에로의 대입이, 비단 중국뿐만 아니라 한국의 경우도 검토해볼 계기를 마련해 주지 않을까 생각하는 바람에서 본고를 번역하여 학계에 소개하고자 한다.
