  • Basic summary of the medical administration: First of all, Liao Jin Yuan dynasties had broad cultural exchange between north and south that the two traditional medical administrations were closely linked which later formed a system that united as one. Establishment of governmental medical office and governmental medical education organization was the very first attempt in the history of the medical administration. The measure on promoting the social level of medical doctors has an important meaning on the growth of the medical field. Medical policy on prisoners was done under the new condition brought on from experience. Medicine not of China was broadly interchanged, medicine from Arab was spread throughout China, and the department on skeletal injuries and the dietary treatments had major development. At this era, under a overall expansion of politics, economy, culture and medicine, scholastic dispute on medicine triggered medical expansion.

  • The relations between the two countries, Korea and Japan, are growing worse because of the matter of distorting korean history, absurd remark for aggressive war, and claiming Dokdo by Japan. At the point of time, I research the distorted instances of Korean history in Japanese game. The distorted instances of Korean history in game are existed in any countries' game such as China and the West; however, Japanese game takes distorted instances too far. Teenagers in the interior of a country and people from other countries easily access the distorted game because of the development of Internet and promoted cultural exchange among nations so it is necessary that systematic countermeasure should be set.

  • The purpose of this study is to analyze the programs and the roles of Architectural Centers by their types in terms of the main body of organization. In order to figure out the programs and the roles, we examined the possibility to have different roles and varied collaboration ways depending on their main body types : central, municipal, architectural associations, and other private sectors. We also investigated the process of establishment of the Centers, their programs to promote the public and private partnerships focusing on the quality improvement of public architecture, research & investigations, education & publication, and cultural exchange & events. From this study, we could find out the differentiated management strategies and the ways of collaboration in public & private sectors for architectural centers and understand which aspects should be taken into consideration in the establishment of architectural centers. Centers initiated by public sectors generally have been focusing on supporting funds and centers initiated by private sectors relatively have developed the field oriented programs activating collaborative network and public participation.

  • China's Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) is China's contribution to the need for the world to collectively address deficits of peace, development, governance, and problems relating to climate, the environment and human health. The rise of China and the BRI do challenge the current 'rules-based global order' and the economic dominance and moral, political, economic, and cultural leadership of the United States and its allies. However, China's goal is not hegemony but a multipolar world in which common values coexist with principles of peaceful coexistence (including non-interference in the internal affairs of sovereign states). The evolution of the BRI is outlined, and the ways in which it reflects Chinese interests are summarized, including its roles in addressing natural resource dependence and excess capacity, a transition from investment promotion and factor-intensive growth to going out and industrial upgrading, going West, and the effective deployment of China's foreign exchange assets. Although China does therefore potentially gain, the BRI is designed so that partners also gain in a quest for win-win co-operation and mutual benefit. The values that underlie this approach and the call for a community with a shared future are compared with competing western values, whose roots lie in Enlightenment thought and are associated with a record of colonialism and imperialism. In this light, the article concludes with a consideration of the global implications of the BRI, the challenges it confronts and the likelihood that the unipolar moment will give way to a multipolar global development path.

Aspects of the Tragedy of a Modern Individual in Death of a Salesman: Focused on Bourdieu's Capital Classification and Adorno's Reification (『세일즈맨의 죽음』에 나타난 근대적 개인의 비극의 양상 -부르디외의 자본 구분과 아도르노의 물화 개념을 중심으로)

  • Death of a Salesman is centered on Willy Loman trying to achieve the American dream and taking his family along for the ride. This paper explores the meaning of his suicide in the work through the Adorno's theory on the individual's reification and commodity by an exchange value in the capitalism and argues that Bourdieu's capital classification shows the cause of his tragic decision. Reification refers to "the structural process whereby the commodity form permeates life in capitalist society." and Adorno called the reification of consciousness an epiphenomenon. The social-psychological level in Adorno's diagnosis serves to demonstrate the effectiveness and pervasiveness of late capitalist exploitation. According to Bourdieu, cultural capital can exist three forms: in the embodied state, in the objectifed state and in the instituionalized state. He states embodied capital is argued to be the most significant influence; however unlike other forms of capital (social, economic, etc.) obtaining embodied capital is largely out of the individuals' control as it is developed from birth. In conclusion, I suggest Death of a Salesman can be interpreted as a text criticizing the internalization of the subject, which is the result of the self-destructive mechanism of the subject in the logic of modern subject formation.

  • While much has been written about Imperial Japan's encounter with geopolitics and developing ideas about Geography as a political and cultural discipline, little if anything has been written about relational and research Geographies between Japan and Silk Roads both ancient and modern. Memories of the ancient Silk Road were revivified in the late 19th century in tandem with the Great Game of European nations, as Japan modernized and sought new places and influence globally following the Meiji restoration. Imperial Japan thus sought to conquer and co-opt spaces imagined to be part of or influenced by the ancient Silk Road and any modern manifestation of it. This paper explores a particular process in that co-option and appropriation, research collaboration between institutions of the Empire. In particular it considers the exploration of Mengjiang/Inner Mongolia after its conquest in 1939/1940, by a collaborative team of Korean and Japanese Geographers, led by Professor Tada Fumio. This paper considers the making knowable of spaces imagined to be on the ancient Silk Road in the Imperial period, and the projecting of the imperatives of the Empire back into Silk Road history, at the same time as such territory was being made anew. This paper also casts new light on the relational and collaborative processes of academic exchange, specifically in the field of Geography, between Korean and Japanese academics during the Korean colonial period.

  • What is the relationship between city diplomacy and public diplomacy in the United States? Whilst this question is often raised among scholars and practitioners of public diplomacy, a concrete and systematic response to it seems difficult to locate. This paper addresses the question by relying on earlier research based on empirical analysis of data from semi-structured interviews with city officials with international purview in the United States as well as with current and former officials at the U.S. Department of State who have worked on topics related to city diplomacy. The research and analysis that informs this paper and the diagrams it offers are hinged on design principles and adopt an architecture studio style approach to data analysis. Further, multidimensional scaling and correspondence analysis are used to visualize the convergence and divergence between the functions of public diplomacy, as introduced by Nicholas Cull, and the functions of city diplomacy that this paper introduces. This is done to first, provide a framework for understanding the dynamics between city diplomacy and public diplomacy; and second, uncover the policy intervention space that could guide policies for making U.S. city diplomacy and public diplomacy more strategically aligned.

  • The purpose of this study is to examine the development process of Hallyu and to find ways to develop Hallyu through discussion with students. Since the 1990s, Hallyu started as a popular phenomenon of Korean culture, and has changed into a New Hallyu that aims for mutual cultural exchange. In detail, the development process of Hallyu was examined by dividing the classification of Hallyu from 1st to 4th. This study utilized the theme of Hallyu, one of the topics covered in the class of Literature and Popular Culture in the first semester of 2022. This is because the Hallyu has spread Korean popular culture all over the world. This study suggested a plan for the development of Hallyu by students and researchers using the discussion about Hallyu.

Il riassunto Aspetto di ricomparsa e maniera d'essere di gli altri e il soggetto -sulla letteratura italiana della migrazione- (주체와 타자의 존재방식과 재현 양상 -이탈리아 이주문학을 중심으로-)

  • Se siamo d'accordo la definizione di Deleuze e Guattari che la letteratura minore è la letteratura che costruisce una minoranza dentro la lingua maggiore, le scritture italofoniche sono la traduzione in pratica di un concetto della letteratura minore che fornisce modelli sostitutivi di espressione. Questa minoranza di bilingue, o più precisamente, multilingue autori e pratiche, acquisisce uno spazio dentro della cultura e la lingua italiana, che di conseguenza sono entrambi deterritorializzati. Lo stanziamento di italiano come lingua in cui sono scritti i testi italofonici richiede una pratica influenza linguistica e culturale. Questa ibridazione linguistica e letteraria riverbera la pluralità sociale presente nella moderna Italia, dove oltre un milione di immigrati provenienti da tutto il mondo vivono oggi. Questo collegamento tra il letterario e il sociale si diffonde il senso di deterritorializzazione linguistica per definire personificazioni di 'otherness', sia per i corpi degli immigrati stessi sia per la politica. I testi italofonici rapresentano contemporaneamente l'individuo e il collettivo, cioè, l'esperienza individuale e la vita delle comunità di immigrati.

  • A number of practices for sharing knowledge has been recommended in the literature. These practices, however, are considered to be applicable, universally. This assumption is challenged by this paper which empirically explores the relationship between national culture and knowledge sharing practices in the context of procuring educational buildings in Saudi Arabia. The paper reports on a research study with the aim to identify whether national culture dimensions could be significant variables that impact upon staff preferences in relation to project knowledge sharing practices. The paper critically reviews the literature to identify appropriate measures for knowledge sharing practices. It explores the means by which public sectors professional exchange project knowledge; evaluates policies and level of technical support needed to facilitate knowledge sharing, then proceeds to how employees perceive the benefits they will gain by practicing project knowledge sharing, and their role in this process. The paper tests the relationships among the research constructs based on data collected from 115 project managers responsible for the procurement of educational buildings in Saudi Arabia. The paper provides empirical evidence that the national culture has a significant influence on staff preferences. In light of the research findings the paper concludes with practical recommendations for project knowledge sharing practices that are in line with staff preferences and their cultural orientation. The recommendations should facilitate a more effective application of knowledge sharing practices.
