Background: Fear and fatalism have been proposed as factors affecting breast cancer screening, but the evidence is not strong. This study aimed to determine relationships of fear and fatalism with breast cancer screening behavior among Tabriz women in Iran. Materials and Methods: In a cross- sectional study, 370 women referred to 12 health centers in Tabriz were selected with two-stage cluster sampling and data regarding breast cancer screening, fatalism and fear of breast cancer were collected respectively with a checklist for screening performance, Champions Fear and Pow Fatalism Questionnaires. Data were analyzed by logistic regression with SPSS software version 16. Results: Only 43% and 23% of participants had undergone breast self- examination and clinical breast examination. Among women older than 40 years, 38.2% had mammography history and only 2.7% of them had done it annually. Although fatalism and fear had a stimulating effects on breast cancer screening performance th relationships were not significant (P>0.05). There was a negative significant correlation between fear and fatalism (r= -0.24, p=0.000). On logistic regression analysis, age (OR=1.037, p<0.01) and income status (OR= 0.411, p<0.05) significantly explained BSE and age (OR=1.051, p<0.01) and body mass index (OR= 0.879, p<0.01) explained CBE. Also BMI (OR= 0.074, p<0.05) and income status (OR=0.155, p<0.01) was significantly effective for mammography following. Conclusions: Breast cancer screening behavior is inappropriate and affected by family livelihood status and lifestyle leads to weight gain, so that for promoting of screening behaviors, economic support to families, lifestyle modification and public education are suggested.

Background: Breast cancer is the most common cancer among women and leading cause of death worldwide, including in Turkey. High perceptions of cancer fatalism are associated with lower rates of participation in screening for breast cancer. This study was conducted to evaluate the effect of breast cancer fatalism and other factors on breast cancer awareness among nursing students in Turkey. Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted at three universities in the Western Black Sea region. The sample was composed of 838 nursing students. Data were collected by Personal Information Form, Powe Fatalism Inventory (PFI) and Champion's Health Belief Model Scale (CHBMS). Results: Breast cancer fatalism perception of the students was at a low level. It was determined that students; seriousness perception was moderate, health motivation, BSE benefits and BSE self-efficacy perceptions were high, and BSE barriers and sensitivity perceptions were low. In addition, it was determined that students awareness of breast cancer was affected by breast cancer fatalism, class level, family history of breast cancer, knowledge on BSE, source of information on BSE, frequency of BSE performing, having breast examination by a healthcare professional within the last year and their health beliefs. Conclusions: In promoting breast cancer early diagnosis behaviour, it is recommended to evaluate fatalism perceptions and health beliefs of the students and to arrange training programs for this purpose.

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to investigate association of depressive symptom, fatalism with selected health behaviors among people aged 50-69 with no physical limitation in Seoul. Methods: In 2012, data were collected using a household based interview survey in Seoul. One person in each selected household aged between 50 and 69 was selected and responded. Data analysis was based on 1,190 subjects who answered they do not have any physical activity limitation. Results: Multiple logistic regression analysis showed significant association among variables including perceived health, depressive symptom and fatalism scores on some health behaviors. Multiple regression analysis showed that selected health risk behaviors(current smoking, monthly alcohol consumption, no regular health exam in two years) were significantly associated with depressive symptom and fatality scores in addition to demographic variables. The final regression model's adjusted R square was about 0.235. Conclusion: Demographic variables such as gender, age and socioeconomic status were significant variables in health behaviors and these behavioral factors were associated with perceived health, depressive symptom and fatalistic views. As a conclusion, depressive symptom and fatalism should be monitored and intervened in health education practice.

A status of air traffic controller is a government officer and air traffic controllers who work at airport are divided by duty rating and work experience. Abiding by law, rules and regulation, air traffic controllers are working together based on mutual trust. This paper's theoretical background is based on cultural bias theory. The theory divide people group into four groups according to cultural bias such as fatalism, hierarchy, individualism and egalitarianism. A research model was designed how such four cultural bias could affect air traffic controller's risk response in case of emergency or abnormal situation during their work. Depend on empirical research, it was found that air traffic controllers perceived they had been more biased to fatalism than hierarchy. The characteristics of fatalism group are as follows: first of all, they follow rigid rules and regulation. However, they have less self-efficacy compared to other government officers. According to structural equation model, air traffic controller's fatalism had a significant negative effect on organizational royalty. Their royalty, however, had a very significant positive effect on planning response and immediate response.

This paper will concentrate on how various particular Southeast Asian conditions created a distinct Southeast Asian cultural identity despite a very challenging geographical and historical diversity in the region. The paper will argue that Southeast Asians demonstrate an ability to adapt to changes and new values but also exhibit fatalism through a very high degree of passive acceptance to political and other changes that affect their society. The paper identifies a degree of environmental and geographical uniqueness in Southeast Asia that shapes context and gives rise to very distinct cultural traits. The historical transformation in the region brought about by colonialism and nationalism, combined with this geographical and political make-up of the region, had an immense impact on Southeast Asian society as it fostered adaptability. Finally, the political transitions brought about by various conflicts and wars that continued to affect the area in rapid succession all throughout the 20^th century likewise contributed immensely to a local Southeast Asian fatalistic response towards change. Historically, Southeast Asia demonstrated these socio-cultural responses to such an extent that these are argued to permeate the region forming a distinct aspect of Southeast Asian culture.

Purpose: This study was designed to identify the factors that influenced the decision to have a colonoscopy. Methods: The sample was one hundred ninety four subjects who completed a self administrated survey. The survey posed questions of self-efficacy scale, fatalism scale and an intention scale. Data were analyzed with descriptive and inferential statistics including t-test, ANOVA, Pearson's correlation and multiple regression analysis. Results: There were statistically significant differences among the intention of having a colonoscopy and age, educational background, occupation and income. There was a statistically significant positive correlation between self-efficacy and intention of having a colonoscopy. In contrast, there was a negative correlation between fatalism and decision to have a colonoscopy. Self-efficacy, income and age were significant predictors of the decision to have a colonoscopy; accounting for 44.3% of the total variance. Conclusion: Self-efficacy and fatalism were influence the decision to have a colonoscopy. As a result of these, it may be useful to develop strategies to foster decision making to have a colonoscopy utilizing the findings from this study.

합병증으로 당뇨병성 족부질환을 가진 환자와 그렇지 않은 당뇨병 환자에서 DFS를 조사하고 이것이 생활습관, 식습관 및 당뇨병 자가 관리와 상관관계가 있는지 규명하고자 하였다. 1) 당뇨병성 족부질환군 69명(남/녀 48/21)과 일반당뇨군 59명(남/녀 33/26)으로 구성되었고, 당뇨병성 족부질환군이 일반당뇨군에 비해 당뇨병 유별기간이 유의적으로 길었으며(각각 $17.3{\pm}11.0$년, $11.3{\pm}9.46$년, p<0.01), 연령이 유의적으로 낮았고(각각 $51.2{\pm}11.6$세, $64.2{\pm}12.6$세, p<0.01), 기혼자의 비율이 유의적으로 낮았다 (p<0.05). 2) 당뇨병성 족부질환군은 일반당뇨군에 비해 부정적인 식사 특히, 패스트푸드, 배달음식, 인스턴트식품 및 편의점 음식의 섭취 빈도가 유의적으로 높은 반면(각각 $1.37{\pm}1.02$일/주와 $0.91{\pm}0.85$일/주, p<0.01), 긍정적인 식사 빈도와(각각 $2.74{\pm}1.76$일/주와 $3.61{\pm}2.05$일/주, p<0.01), 발 관리, 특히 발 씻기와 씻은 후 말리기의 빈도는 유의적으로 낮았다(각각 $4.61{\pm}1.97$일/주와 $5.53{\pm}2.22$ 일/주, p<0.05). 3) 12 항목으로 된 DFS의 Chronbach's ${\alpha}$는 당뇨병성 족부질환군에서 0.614로 매우 낮고, 자아효능감 관련 하부 영역의 세 항목은 제거되었을 때 내적일치도가 증가하였다. 따라서 당뇨병의 자가관리를 예측하는 인자로서 DFS의 유용성은 적어도 당뇨병성 족부질환 환자에서, 현재 12 항목의 DFS 도구로는 제한적임을 시사한다. 4) 당뇨병성 족부질환 합병증이 없는 일반당뇨군의 경우 12 항목 DFS는 Chronbach's ${\alpha}$가 0.869로 높고, 음주(r=0.247, p=0.059)와 부정적인 식사(r=0.241, p=0.066)와는 양의 상관관계가, 긍정적인 식사(r=-0.227, p=0.083)와는 음의 상관관계의 경향이 있었다. 자아효능감과 관련된 DFS와의 양의 상관관계는 음주(r=0.257, p<0.05), 흡연(r=0.350, p<0.01) 및 부정적 식습관(r=0.295, p<0.05)과 유의적이었고, 운동 (r=-0.224, p<0.088) 및 발 관리(r=-0.247, p<0.059)와는 경향이 있었다. 따라서 DFS는 적어도 당뇨병성 족부질환이 없는 환자의 경우에 특히 자아효능감 관련 항목에서 생활습관, 식습관 및 발 관리 충실도를 예측할 수 있는 도구로서의 잠재적 유용성을 있음을 제시한다. 본 연구에서는 당뇨병성 족부질환으로 족부 절단 위험에 처한 당뇨 환자가 그렇지 않은 당뇨 환자에 비해 식생활이 바람직하지 못할 뿐 아니라 발 관리가 잘 되고 있지 않음을 보여주어 비록 그 인과관계가 밝혀지지는 못했지만 당뇨병성 족부질환의 예방과 관리에서 당뇨 환자를 위한 식생활과 발관리 교육의 중요성이 확인되었다. 또한 이 연구는 우리나라에서 당뇨환자의 생활습관, 식습관 및 당뇨 자가관리를 예상할 수 있는 척도로서 미국에서 최근 개발된 DFS가 사용될 수 있는지 알아보는 첫 시도로 의미가 있는데 연구 결과는 종교, 당뇨병 형태, 심각한 합병증 유무에 따른 당뇨병 환자군별로 그 유용성을 규명할 필요성을 제시하였다.

이 글의 목적은 '안지약명(安之若命)'으로 대표되는 장자 운명관을 현실 체념적이고 노예적인 순응주의로 간주하는 이택후(李澤厚)의 입장과 해석상의 충돌을 시도하고 장자의 입장이 참된 운명 긍정론임을 밝히는 것이다. 이것은 특히 망(忘)의 역할 분석을 통해 진행된다. 그 결과 새롭게 창조되는 가치는 두 가지다. 하나는 통상적으로 인식의 결여나 질병 상태 등 부정적 기능으로 간주되어 온 망각의 긍정적 역할이며, 다른 하나는 몸 생사 세계 변화를 일기(一氣)의 운행으로 통찰함으로써 운명에 긍정적으로 대처하는 '기 통하는 인간'의 가능성이다. 이러한 논의를 위한 글의 전개는 다음과 같다. 먼저 명(命)의 용례 분석을 통해 '안지약명(安之若命)'의 의미를 밝힌다. 분석 결과 안지약명은 '인간의 힘으로 어찌할 수 없는 상황 앞에서는 마음 편히 운명을 따르라'는 의미다. 다음으로 안지약명을 노예적 순응주의로 간주하는 이택후의 입장에 반대해 장자 입장이 운명 긍정론임을 밝힌다. 이것은 장자의 운명 대면법을 네 단계로 추적함으로써 진행된다. 첫째 부득이(不得已)한 운명적 상황을 있는 그대로 직시한다. 둘째 이 때 망각을 통해서 인간적 애락(哀樂)의 고통과 물아(物我) 구분을 해소한다. 셋째, 몸 생사 세계 변화를 일기(一氣)의 운행으로 통찰한다. 넷째, 이러한 과정은 운명 앞에 긍정적으로 대처하는 기(氣) 통하는 인간을 탄생시킨다. 그는 왜 운명 앞에서 긍정적일 수 있는가? 기 통하는 인간은 사물의 이치에 통달하고 그것의 흐름에 따라서 자유자재로 변화하며, 그 결과 외계 사물로 인해 자신의 생명을 해치지 않는다. 따라서 어떤 운명적 상황 앞에서도 사태를 있는 그대로 긍정하며 담담히 포용할 수 있다. 즉 장자의 기 통하는 인간은 운명을 긍정한다. 여기서 이택후의 비판은 극복된다. 필자는 이처럼 부득이한 운명 앞에서 비관 혹은 도피나 노예적 순응이 아닌 적극적 대면과 긍정적 포용의 태도를 취하는 장자의 안지약명을 '장자의 운명애'라고 부를 수 있다고 본다. 이러한 점에도 불구하고 필자는 '기 통하는 인간'의 실제적 가능성과 역할 등에 관해서는 면밀히 논하지 못했다. 이것은 장자의 기론과 수양론을 연관시켜 분석할 때 밝혀질 수 있는 문제들이다. 이러한 점에 대해서는 차후의 지면을 통해 좀 더 구체적인 논의를 진행할 수 있기를 바란다.

This study was aimed to investigate dysfunctional attitudes, stress coping strategies and depressive symptoms in psychiatric patients. The subjects of this study consisted of 210 patients(138 schizophrenic patients, 29 depression patients, 43 alcohol dependence patients) according to DSM-IV criteria. Futhermore, the instruments were K-BDI(Beck Depression Inventory-Korean version), DAS(Dysfunctional Attitude Scale) and multidimensional coping strategy scale. The results were the following. 1) There were statistically significant correlations between depressive symptoms and dysfunctional attitudes in psychiatric patients. 2) In terms of coping strategies, there were positive correlations between depressive symptoms and focus on and venting emotions, accommodation, active forgetting, self-criticism, positive comparison, fatalism, passive withdrawal. Whereas, there was significant negative correlation between depressive symptom and active coping. 3) In terms of coping strategies, there were significant correlations between dysfunctional attitudes and focus on and venting emotions, active forgetting, self-criticism, positive comparison, fatalism, passive withdrawal. 4) Depression groups reported significantly higher BDI scores than schizophrenia groups. 5) In depression groups, DAS scores were significantly higher than those in schizophrenia groups. 6) In terms of coping strategies according to diagnosis, there were significant differences in venting emotions, active forgetting and self-criticism. As for venting emotions, alcoholic groups were scored significantly higher than schizophrenic groups. As for active forgetting, depression groups were scored significantly higher than schizophrenic groups. In self-criticism, depression groups and alcohol dependence groups reported significantly higher scores than schizophrenic groups.

Science fiction films touch coming-future themes, particularly those referring specifically to futuristic technology and its influence over human life. Dealing with the resistance of the replicants in the approaching millennium, Blade Runner brings the feat of modern civilization into doubt through the image of the dystopian future. In Blade Runner, a city is filled with waste, pollution, and dirt and a corrosive rain falls from the polluted clouds. Adorno criticizes contemporary society and its civilization. Characterizing advanced capitalist society by its total administration penetrating into every sphere of life, he contends that modern society promotes alienation, atomization, conformism, and fatalism. Blade Runner provides a chance to contemplate the problems of modern society, proposed by Adorno's critical works. Therefore, this paper attempts to analyze futuristic characteristics described in the film with Adorno's critique of modern society.
