Objective : To characterize Five Woons of Asian women who live at Los Angeles area in U.S.A Methods : A set of physical tests and diagnostic questions were given to 242 Asian female subjects who were treated for their symptoms at a clinic of Asian medicine near Los Angeles in USA. The participants were given their constitutions, one of the Five Woons based on their birthdays. The physical tests included a body composition via Inbody 4.0 and an autonomic bioelectric response record via ABR2000. The oneway analysis of variance was applied to compare the means of the Five Woons and the physical test results. The Cross tabulation analysis was also applied to look for the effectiveness of Five Woons on the symptoms. Results : 1. In the body composition items, the LSD(least significant difference) showed that there were significant differences between the Soil Woon and the other Four Woons which are Water, Metal, Fire and Wood Woons in weight, fat, body fat %, BMI (p<0.2). 2. Based on the LSD, significant differences were observed among the Five Woons in R5, R6 and R7(p<0.2). 3. The cross tabulation analysis showed the significant effectiveness of the Five Woons on the five symptoms including dizziness, hot and cold, lower body edema, fatigue and to take a medication for high blood pressure out of 24 diagnostic questions (p<0.2). Conclusions : Further clinical research is necessary to develop a more delicate questionnaire and look for ways of characterizing the Five Woons. The diagnosis and corresponding treatment based on the Five Woons should be further studied in view of the Oriental medicine.

The purpose of this study is to see and compare the contemporary Korean-Thai female poems from a feminine standpoint to newly clarify the textuality of their poems. The textuality defined in this manuscript is the text of Korean-Thai contemporary female poems. To newly clarify the textuality of their poems are to go against the existing discussion method and to newly read out the text as re-vision method. This discussion is to analyse deeply how the central exis composing a text which is the identity of woman in a body, appearance of uttrance, or action of abjection is exposed in gender space and to identify the poem's textuality. In other words, through in-depth analysis of the text of poems, which are very complicated as a skein of yarn, place a high value of Korean-Thai female poems. Transcending time, nations and races, if the text of female poem would not free from a biased male-dominated thinking or make a mystery of female poem textuality without critics or tend to be stereotype the text of poem as pathos of female, it would not get out from man-centered reading. To escape from the state of sexual discrimination, the new reading method was seriously analysed and found out that the female text poems not only implicate sexual discrimination but also link to expansive cultural and social structure. And for that reason, this study raise a question to male-dominant sexual discriminated norm. It is very significant that through this elaborate and in-depth text poem analysis, a creation process of female poem is traced. Eventually, the comparative study on Korean-Thai female poems is meaningful and worthy in regard to the contribution to promotion of cultural exchange between korea-Thai two nations and furthermore extend to East Asia to make a basement for the vitalization of Asia comparative literature.

This study is to explain the nature of transnational activities being involved in by Filipina intermarriage migrants in Korea by examining the institutional backgrounds of market, society and the state. The increasing number of Filipina intermarriage with Korean coincides with the advance of liberal market economy, which governs internal and bilateral interactions between and among the three institutions in both countries. While existing various reasons for engaging in intermarriage, a significant number of Filipina wives in Korea ventured into it with uncertain expectations that they might earn better lives and could support their families. Such hopes usually turn out in vain when they meet the real lives in Korea. It is mainly because their spouses in Korea would rather be those who left behind in the marriage market due to their lack of competitiveness. Filipina wives are also suffering from social isolation caused by language and other barriers such as family relations or rural life they might settle in. Their transnational activities usually tend to be their effort to breakthrough their unexpected condition of difficult lives in Korea. They usually make use of transnational sort of community activities to cultivate chances to engage in bread earning activity. Migrant's transnational activity has a great impact on sociocultural changes in the country of origin and of arrival. Transnational activity provides migrants with economic opportunities, and uplifts self-esteem as well. Intermarriage couples, especially with Southeast Asian wives, and their offsprings show a tendency of downward assimilation to Korean society. Korean state policy toward them should not simply apply undiscriminated assimilation theory, but take into account their possible strength of transnational identity with which they could find a means to integrate themselves successfully into the mainstream Korean society.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate life stress, social support, and antepartum depression among Southeast Asian immigrant women married to Korean men. Methods: Ninety-three subjects were recruited from local women's clinics and multicultural family support centers in D City. The instruments used were the life stress scale, social support scale, and K-EPDS. All the instruments were translated into their corresponding mother languages (Vietnamese, Cambodian, and Philippine) and notarized. Results: The item mean scores of life stress and social support were 2.65 and 3.17, respectively, on a 5-point Likert scale. The mean score of antepartum depression was 10.16, indicating that they were generally in a depressive state. A positive correlation was observed between life stress and antepartum depression (r=.59, p<.001). Social support was negatively correlated with life stress (r=-.42, p<.001) and antepartum depression (r=-.39, p<.001). The best predictors for antepartum depression were life stress, marital satisfaction, and emotional support, and they explained 43% of the variance. Conclusion: Antepartum depression in Southeast Asian immigrant brides was significantly associated with life stress as well as lack of emotional support. Emotional support may reduce their life stress and antepartum depression.

Recently, the population of Asian people has increased constantly in the United States., but appearances, culture and thoughts of Asian people are different with Americans in various ways, especially body shapes. Despite the recent developments in apparel size ranges in U. S. A., few changes have been made in sizing for Asian Women. Size ranges designed for Asian Women are not available on the mass market in U. S. A. They have many difficulties in finding clothing that fits well. Especially they do experience such as clothing problems in varying degrees. Therefore this research was designed to investigate the specific clothing problems of Asian Women in relation with size and fit, Asian Women's present means of resolving their clothing problems in U. S. A. 60 Asian Women in Twin cities, Minnesota were interviewed during the period of October, 1991. Data were analyzed by descriptive statistics for demographic information on the selected sample and the chi-square test for relationships between the independent variables and clothing problems. The results indicated that most respondents had shopped in a department store and 38.3% of the respondents answered rarely-fit of suit. Also 40% of the respondents answered that pants length was too long. There were significant relationships between the demographic variables i.e. age, marital status, occupation, height and clothing problems of Asian women.

Saman, a novel written by Ayu Utami, has been recognized as the symbol of the politico-social changes, which began to occur since the collapse of Suharto' New Order regime in 1998. In the novel, Ayu Utami showed the spirits of resistance against various absurd socio-political circumstances during the New Order era such as pressure on discussion, abuse of power, politics-business collusion, patriarchism, and suppression of gender. In representing those spirits, Ayu Utami used unconventional structure-making, fresh feedback and multilayered descriptions of the figures, which brought her a fame as the pioneer of the Fragrant Literature (Angkatan Wangi or chick-lit). Ayu Utami particularly criticized that, under the name of sustaining the national integrity and identity, the New Order regime enhanced patriarchal system, which consequently infringed gender equality and women's rights to self-determination. In addition, Ayu Utami argued that the abuse of power and politics-business collusion, which were prevalent during the New Order period, destroyed lives of the masses and the Indonesian society.

이 연구는 다문화사회의 피할 수 없는 과제인 가치관 변화를 위한 출발점을 모색하기 위해 외국인에 대한 감정적 반응의 실체를 밝히고자 하였다. 연구 결과, 소수 민족에 대한 사회적 거리감을 측정하는 데 주로 사용되어 온 보가더스 척도는 '국민'과 '결혼을 통한 친족관계'에 대해 유독 배타성을 보이는 한국인들의 태도를 설명하는 데에는 충분하지 않은 것으로 나타났다. 이를 보완하기 위해 감정조절이론의 평가성과 권력성 그리고 활동성을 기준으로 각 출신지별 외국인에 대한 태도를 살펴보았다. 미국인이 세 차원 모두에서 높게 평가되었고, 일본인은 평가성은 낮고 권력성과 활동성이 높았다. 조선족과 새터민은 평가성은 높으나 나머지 점수가 낮다. 서아시아인은 세 차원 모두에서 부정적으로 평가되었다. 사회적 거리에 영향을 주는 요소들과 그 상대적인 영향력을 파악한 결과 평가성이 모든 집단에 영향을 미치는 공통된 변수였고, 일본인에 대해서는 권력성의 평가가, 중국인과 서아시아인에 대해서는 활동성에 대한 평가가 사회적 거리감에 영향을 미쳤다. 교육수준이 높을수록 미국인을 제외한 모든 외국인 집단에 대한 사회적 거리감이 줄어들었다. 미국인에 대해서는 여성이, 새터민의 경우에는 연령이 높을수록 사회적 거리감이 적었다.

우리 사회는 다양성이 점차 커져가고 있으나 초등 과학 교과서를 인종이나 장애의 측면에 분석한 연구는 거의 없다. 이에 본 연구에서는 초등 과학 교과서에 제시된 인물 삽화의 다양성을 다문화와 장애의 측면에서 분석하였다. 분석 대상은 2015 개정 교육과정 검정 초등 과학 교과서 중 3학년 1, 2학기 교과서 7종 총 14책이었다. 연구 결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 초등 과학 교과서에 제시된 인물 삽화의 인종을 분석한 결과, 3학년 과학 교과서에 제시된 인물 삽화 중 다문화 인물 삽화는 8.2%로 실제 국내 거주 외국인 비율보다 높게 나타났다. 그리고 인종별로는 백인 삽화가 가장 많고 아시아계 외국인 삽화가 가장 적어, 아시아계 외국인이 많은 우리나라 상황과는 다른 분포로 제시되고 있었다. 출판사별로는 이 분포에 상당한 차이가 있었다. 둘째, 다문화 인물 삽화의 성별 분포는 남성이 59.0%, 여성이 41.0%로 차이가 있었으며, 일부 출판사는 남성 다문화 인물이 80%에 이르는 등 출판사에 따라 성별 편차가 상당히 크게 나타났다. 셋째, 삽화의 기능 측면에서 한국인과 다문화 인물 삽화의 분포는 설명적 기능의 삽화가 가장 많고, 다음으로 예시적 삽화, 장식적 삽화, 보충적 기능의 삽화 순으로 유사하게 나타났다. 마지막으로 초등 과학 교과서의 인물 삽화를 장애 다양성 측면에서 분석한 결과, 장애인의 비율은 2.0%로, 국내 장애인 비율보다 적은 비율이었다. 인종과 장애의 측면에서 우리나라의 상황과 다양성을 고려할 필요성에 대해 논의하였다.
