There are many modern elements in religions appeared in the early Korean modern era. From the nationalism perspective, most religions had tendencies toward anti-feudalism and anti-foreign power. Pak Eun Sik(朴殷植) emphasized the importance to explain those religions as the National Religion in his writing 《Korea Painful History(韓國痛史)》. That is, he realized those as one of Korean spirits or souls keeping Korean identities like the Jew's Judaism or the Turk's Islam. In the paper, I try to analyze religions on Kang Jeung San(姜甑山) with Daesoonjinri-hoe as the central figure from Pak's perspective. In the early Korean modern era when Kang went his own the Savior way, Korea and its society got into uncontrollable confusion because of strong demands both of a feudal-state breaking and against pillaging foreign-power especially Japan. For all countries of the world, it is difficult to change from a feudal state into the modern nation state to keep existing society order. Because the reformation under old social systems means the incomplete reformation. So in this era new religions showed the neglected class of people the vision of new society. Meanwhile Korean society try to become a modern state, and now became a recognized modern state in international society. But it is still insufficient to debate on groups and their roles for Korea modernity in that time especially new religions. Since Korea independence, new religions including Daesoonjinrihoe have not receive good reviews because of a certain religion group expansion and the government's regulation and control toward new religions. Till today, I think, Independence Movement as well as reform of modern awareness have not relatively receive reasonable reviews. So I hope to serve as a momentum that in early Korea modern era new religions receive reasonable and positive reviews.

The 'Japanese Useful Fisheries Classification Table', published in advance before the publication of the "Useful Fisheries of Japan", is the first data to classify and introduce fisheries animals and plants in a single table. Therefore, it had received public attention immediately. However, The academy of animal studies at that time quickly pointed out that this classification table was a mixture of traditional and modern classifications, and that there were too many errors. However, Yoshio Tanaka, who was in charge of revising Yamamoto Arikatana, that wrote the classification table, was not an adherent of traditional taxonomy, nor was he ignorant of modern taxonomy. Nevertheless, the classification table, which was quite different from the well-known zoological classification at that time, was prepared. For example, the top classifications of marine organism are not at the same level, but rather a mixture of phylum and class, while the water insect contains several phylums, including Arthropoda, Echinodermata, Mollusca, and Coelenterata. As such, the method of classification of animals in the classification table was hard to understand in the zoological academy at that time. The reason for this unusual taxonomy was that the classification table showed classification of useful fisheries products, not intended to convey academic classification. In other words, it is not for the purpose of academic classification of all fishery products, but for the purpose of presenting standards that can be easily understood by those engaged in the collection, manufacture, and aquaculture of fishery products. This principle of 'Useful Fisheries of Japan' is also ascertained in the "Fishing Methods of Japan" and "Fishery Products of Japan". Regarding the collection and processing of marine products, it could have shown how to catch whales, which are mammals, and how to dismantle whales and obtain oil and meat, according to academic classifications. However, the first appearances in the book include dried squid, abalone, shark fins, and sea cucumbers. In other words, the most important fishery products at that time are presented first. The contents of the classification table, which is considered somewhat bizarre, show where the purpose to compile Useful Fisheries of Japan.

Background and Objectives: The prognostic implication of right atrial (RA) and left atrial (LA) size for an immediate success of direct current cardioversion (DCCV) in atrial fibrillation (AF) remains unclear. This study aimed to compare RA and LA size for the prediction of DCCV success. Methods: Between 2012 and 2018, 734 consecutive outpatients were screened for our prospective registry. Each eligible patient received a medical history, blood analysis, and transthoracic echocardiography with a focus on indexed RA (iRA) area and LA volume (iLAV) prior to DCCV with up to three biphasic shocks (200-300-360 J) or additional administration of amiodarone or flecainide to restore sinus rhythm. Results: We enrolled 589 patients, and DCCV was in 89% (n=523) successful. Mean age was 68 ± 10 years, and 40% (n=234) had New York heart association class >II. A prevalence of the male sex (64%, n=376) and of persistent AF (86%, n=505) was observed. Although DCCV success was associated with female sex (odds ratio [OR], 1.88; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.06-3.65), with absence of coronary heart disease and normal left ventricular function (OR, 2.24; 95% CI, 1.26-4.25), with short AF duration (OR, 1.93; 95% CI, 1.05-4.04) in univariable regression, only iRA area remained a stable and independent predictor of DCCV success (OR, 0.27; 95% CI, 0.12-0.69; area under the curve 0.71), but not iLAV size (OR, 1.16; 95% CI, 1.05-1.56) in multivariable analysis. Conclusions: iRA area is superior to iLAV for the prediction of immediate DCCV success in AF.

The purpose of this study was to determine the effectiveness of instructors' utilization of the reserve collection in the university library. To accomplish this, an experiment-and-questionnaire study was done by selecting an experimental group for whom the teaching method utilizing the reserve collection was used and a control group for whom the method was not used. An experimental group and a control group studied were as follows: (1) Students take the 'Comparative Politics' course in the Department of Political Science. (2) Students take the 'History of 'English Literature' course III the Department of English Language and Literature. The data to test the hypothesis were analyzed by SPSS/PC+ routine. The results are as follows: (1) There were significant differences between the experimental group and the control group in academic achievement(T(228)=6.69, P<.01). To investigate the difference in effect by major, the one-way analysis of variance was employed. According to the results, there were significant differences between the experimental group and the control group In the Department of Political Science and the Department of English Language & Literature. Therefore, students for whom the teaching method utilizing the reserve collection was used have higher academic achievement than those for whom the method was not used. (2) As for the degree of utilizing the library and its materials, there were significant differences between the experimental group and the control group(T(228)=8.87, P<.01). As for the results of the one-way analysis of variance to investigate the difference in effect by major, there were significant differences between the experimental group and the control group in both departments. As for the degree of utilizing library catalogues and bibliographical tools, there were significant differences between the experimental group and the control group(T (228)=8.55, P<.01). As stated earlier, the one-way analysis of variance to investigate the difference in effect by major has shown that there were significant differences between the experimental group and the control group in both departments. As for the degree of sincerity in doing homework and writing papers, there were significant differences between the experimental group and the control group(T(176)=8. 03, P<.01). To investigate the difference in effect by major, the one-way analysis of variance was again employed. According to the results, there were again significant differences between the experimental group and the control group in both departments. So, the students for whom the teaching method utilizing the reserve collection was employed used library catalogues and bibliographical tools much more than those for whom the method was not employed, and were more sincere in doing homework and writing papers. (3) There were also significant differences between the experimental group and the control group in degree of satisfaction in taking the course (T (228) = 6.61, P<.01). The results of the one-way analysis of variance to investigate the difference in effect by major was that there were significant differences between the experimental group and the control group in both departments. Therefore, the degree of satisfaction of students who were taught by the teaching method utilizing the reserve collection is higher than that of those who were not taught by the method. On the other hand, the responses of the experimental groups of two departments as to the degree of satisfaction with their teaching method was investigated. The result shows that students who took the 'Comparative Politics' course in a small class which employed the seminar method were higher in degree of satisfaction with the teaching method than students who took the 'History of English Literature' course III a large class which employed a lecture-oriented teaching method.

인제대학교 부산백병원 흉부외과학교실에서는 1985년 10월부터 1996년 7월까지 약 10년간 총 124례의 중복판막수술을 받은 환자를 대상으로 성별, 나이, 술전 X-선 심흉곽비, 심도자검사상의 평균폐동맥압, 술전 심장초음파 검사상 좌심실구출률, 술전 NYHA 기능분류등급, 치환한 판막의 수, 대동맥차단시간과 총체외순환시간, 술후 중한 합병증 발생 및 조기사망 유무를 조사하고 수술후 조기성적에 영향을 미치는 인자들을 분석하였다. 환자중 남자가 53례, 여자가 71례로 성비는 1:1.4 였으며, 술전 임상증상으로 NYHA 기능분류상 등급 I이 3명(2.4%), 등급 II가 41명(33.1%), 등급 III가 60명(48.4%), 등급 IV가 20명(16.1%)이었고 심전도검사상 술전 심방세동이 76명(61.3%), 술전 뇌색전증 병력이 5례(4.0%), 이전에 심장수술을 받은 경우가 7례(5.7%)였다. 술후 조기사망률은 8.1%, 술후 중한 합병증 발생율은 21.8%였다. 판막수술은 승모판막과 대동맥판막을 동시에 치환한 례(57례), 승모판막치환과 삼첨판륜성형술을 한 례(48례), 승모판막과 삼첨판막을 동시 치환한 례(2례), 그리고 승모판막치환과 대동맥판막성형술을 한 례(3례)등이 있었다. 수술후 조기 임상경과에 따라 사망례를 포함한 중한 합병증을 동반한 군(A군, 27례)과 특별한 문제가 없었던 군(B군, 97례)으로 분류하고, 또 조기사망군(10례)과 생존군(114례)으로 분류하여 각각의 분류군간에 통계적으로 유의한 위험인자들이 있는지 분석하였다. A군에서 발생한 중한 합병증은 저심박출증, 종격동염, 심장파열, 심실부정맥, 패혈증 등이었다. A군과 B군의 비교에서는 대동맥차단시간(A군:153.4$\pm$42.4분, B군:134.0$\pm$43.7, p=0.042), 총체외순환시간(A군:187.4$\pm$65.5분, B군:158.1$\pm$50.6분, p=0.038), 그리고 NYHA 기능분류등급(I등급:33.3%, II등급:9.7%, III등급:20.0%, IV등급:50.0%, p=0.004)에서 유의한 차이가 있었다. 술후 조기사망군(10례)과 생존군(114례)의 비교에서는 연령(사망군:45.2$\pm$8.7세, 생존군:37.2$\pm$11.6세, p=0.036), 성별(여자:12.7%, 남자:1.9%, p=0.043), 대동맥차단시간(사망군:167.1$\pm$38.4분, 생존군:135.7$\pm$43.7분 p=0.030), 그리고 술전 NYHA 기능분류등급(I등급:0%, II등급:4.9%, III등급:1.7%, IV등급:35.0%, p=0.001)에서 유의한 차이가 있었다. 이상으로 볼 때 NYHA 기능분류에서 술전의 임상상태가 중할수록 조기성적에 나쁜 영향을 미치므로 환자의 증상이 악화되기 전에 조기수술이 요망되며, 개선된 수술수기나 심근보호방법등으로 대동맥차단시간과 총체외순환시간을 효율적으로 줄일수 있다면 중복판막수술후 조기성적을 향상시킬 것으로 사료된다.

Objectives : The alcohol dependence in elderly people has been prevalent because of increase in geriatric population. However, it is difficult to find out alcohol dependence in the aged, because they have less specific clinical features as compared with adult alcoholics. The aims of this study were to screen alcohol dependence among elderly Koreans and to know the clinical characteristics of Korean delerly alcoholics. Methods : The questionnaires translated into Korean such as Michigan Alcoholism Screening Test(MAST-K), the Brief MAST and the MAST-Geriatirc Version (MAST-KG) were used to screen alcohol dependence in the elderly alcoholic inpatients aged over 60(N=43), adult alcoholic inpatients within 20-59 Yrs of age(N=60), which were compared with age matched normal healthy aged(N=18) or adult controls(N=45). The demographic data such as sex, age, education, occupation, socioeconomic status, marital status, numbers of children, dwelling and religion as well as alcohol history such as duration of alcohol drinking, onset age, family history, impulsivity, somatic illness and motivation were also obtained to identify characteristic features of Korean aged alcoholics by structured interviews. Results : 1) The aged alcoholics had the charateristic features of more in males, lower age, low education levels, more in blue-collar workers, lower socioeconomic class, more in single, few babies, more living alone, having no religion without statistical significance. 2) The onset age of alcohol dependence was significantly higher in the aged alcoholics($45.3{\pm}13.6Yrs$) than in the adult alcoholics($27.7{\pm}8.7Yrs$)(p<0.0001). The duration of problematic alcohol drinking was significantly longer in the aged alcoholics($22.0{\pm}15.1Yrs$) than in adult alcoholics($14.2{\pm}8.4Yrs$)(p<0.01). Otherwise, there were no significant difference between aged and adult alcoholics in the family history, imulsivity, somatic illness and motivation. 3) The mean score of the MAST-K was significantly higher in the aged alcoholics($20.6{\pm}5.4$) than in the normal aged($6.7{\pm}4.4$)(p<0.0001), which was significantly lower than in the adult alcoholics($26.2{\pm}8.0$) and in normal adult controls($9.5{\pm}3.2$)(p<0.05). The mean score of the Brief MAST was significantly lower in the aged alcoholics($9.3{\pm}3.5$) than in the adult alcoholics($14.5{\pm}6.6$)(p<0.0001). The mean score of the MAST-KG was significantly higher in the aged alcoholics($10.6{\pm}3.5$) than in the normal aged($4.8{\pm}4.3$)(p<0.0001). The former was significantly lower than in the adult alcoholics($12.9{\pm}4.3$)(p<0.005), and the mean score was $4.5{\pm}2.8$ in normal adult controls. 4) The items which showed statistically significant differences between aged alcoholics and normal aged controls could be found in 10 items of the MAST-K(items 2, 3, 4, 5, 11, 14, 17, 21, 22 and 23), 2 items of the Brief MAST(items 2 and 9), and 7 items of the MAST-KG(items 6, 13, 18, 19, 22, 23 and 24)(p<0.01). Conclusions : The scores of the MAST-K, the Brief MAST and the MAST-KG were significantly lower in the aged alcoholics than those in the adult alcoholics (p<0.05). The statistically significant differences between aged alcoholics and normal aged controls could be found in 10 items of the MAST-K, 2 items of the Brief MAST and 7 items of the MAST-KG. Therefore, a briefer rating scales around 10 items are needed to screen alcohol dependence among Korean elderly people.

If we are to define that the traditional costume is a comprehensive expression of the culture, thoughts, and arts of a country, it is needless to say that the traditional costume would have always reflected the social and cultural aspects of the times. In order words, the cultural contemplation of a certain people at some point the history is only possible when we observe the distintive features of the costume worn by the people of respective times. Although the Korean people had the native costume of its own from the times of the Ancient Choson to the Three Kingdoms of Koguryo, Paekche, and Silla, the Chinese influence on Korean traditional costume became somewhat pronounced ever since the Silla strenghtened the political ties with the T'ang dynasty in China, and it came to a climax when the dual structure in Korean native costume, being compounded with the Chinese touch, continued to be prevailed from the era of the Unified Silla to the Koryo and throughout the succeeding Yi dynasty, thereby copying the typical aspects of Chinese pattern in clothing and dresses worn by the ruling classes, namely the goverment officials including the Kings. Therefore, it is our aim to study the pattern of Chinese influence on our traditional costume, as well as social and cultural aspects by way of contrasting and comparing our official outfit system, which had been developing in dualism since the era of the Unified Silla, with that of China, and to trace in part the Korean traditional costume. In comparing our traditional official outfit system with that of China, we have basically concentrated on the comparison of the official outfit systems during the periods of the Three Kingdoms, the Koryo, and The Yi dynasty with that of corresponding era of Chinese history, namely the dynasties of T'ang, Sung, and Ming, and followed the documentary records for the comparison. Koreans had fallen into the practice of worshipping the powerful in China and begun to adopt the culture and institutions of the T'ang dynasty since the founding of the Unified Silla. From this time forth, Korean people started to wear the clothes in Chinese style. The style of clothing during the period of the Koryo Kingdom was deeply influenced by that of the T'ang and Sung dynasties in China, and it was also under the influenced of the Yuan dynasty(dynasty established by the Mongols) at one time, because of the Koryo's subordinative position to the Yuan. At the close of the Koryo dynasty, the King Kongmin ordered the stoppage on the use of 'Ji-Joung', the name of an era for the Yuan dynasty, in May of the eighteenth year of his rule in order to have the royal authority recognized by a newly rising power dominating the Chinese continent, the Mind. Kind Kongmin presented a memorial, repaying a kindness to the Emperor T'aejo of the Ming dynasty in celebration of his enthronement and requested that the emperor choose an official outfit, thereby the Chinese influence being converted to that of the Ming. As a matter of course, the Chinese influence deepened all the more during the era of the Yi dynasty coupled with the forces of the toadyic ideology of worshipping the China, dominant current of the times, and the entire costume, from the imperial crown and robe to the official outfit system of government officials, such as official uniforms, ordinary clothes, sacrificial robes, and court dresses followed the Chinese style in their design. Koreans did not have the opportunity of developing the official outfit system on its own and they just wore the official outfit designated on separate occasions by the emperors of China, whenever the changes in dynasty occurred in the continent. Especially, the Chinese influence had greatly affected in leading our consciousness on the traditional costume to the consciousness of the class and authority. Judging from the results, Koreans had been attaching weight to the formulation of the traditional outfit system for the ruling classes in all respective times of the history and the formulation of the system was nothing more than the simple following of the Chinese system.

1980년대 이후 한국의 '전투적' 노동운동은 노동계급의 존재를 세상에 알렸다. 그러나 한국 현대 노동운동의 역사를 재현하는 것은 간단치 않은 일이다. 그동안 노동계급 주체의 기록이 체계적으로 관리되지 않았기 때문이다. 노동조합의 기록관리 현실은 제대로 된 기록관리 규정이 없는 사실로도 입증된다. 노동조합의 기록관리 관련 규정은 '조선총독부 처무규정'과 마찬가지로 '처무규정'의 이름으로도 존재한다. 노동조합에서 기록은 증빙기록 위주로 구성되어 있다. 기록의 분류 편철 폐기 등은 1970년대 '정부공문서' 규정과 같은 수준에서 이루어지고 있다. 그러한 의미에서 노동조합의 기록관리 규정은 '원시적'이다. 노동조합의 기록 보존기간 책정 기준은 전문성이 결여되어 있다. 영구 기록 선별 기준도 기본적인 문서 또는 이에 준하는 문서라는 규정에 의지하고 있으며, 거의 증빙기록 중심이다. 다분히 자의적이고 추상적이다. 전국노동조합협의회의 잔존기록은 매우 분절적으로 존재한다. 단체교섭 업무를 계획수립, 조사활동, 단체교섭 요구서 작성 의견수렴 활동, 요구안 제출 선전, 교섭, 타결 후 활동 등으로 구분하여 잔존기록을 살펴보았지만, 단위사업장 기록은 일부만 남아 있다. 교육 관련 기록, 대의원대회 기록 또한 마찬가지이다. 업무 과정과 결과 전체를 재현할 수 있는 기록 시리즈는 거의 없다. 이러한 점은 미국 남부 노동 아카이브 컬렉션들과 비교하면 많은 차이가 있음을 알 수 있다. 즉 남부 노동 아카이브 기록들은 지역 노동조합 중앙의 집행 조직과 관계된 지역의 기록은 물론이고, 팸플릿 잡지 사진 개인 기록 구술 기록, 협정서 정관 내규 등의 조직 기록, 총회 의사록 등을 포함하고 있다. 결국 백서 발간 준비 시점에 이르러서야 기록을 수집하는 현상은 현재의 노동조합에서도 여전히 나타날 수 있는 문제이기 때문에 기록을 생산하는 시점부터 기록을 관리해야 한다는 인식이 시급히 노동조합에 확산되어야 할 것이다. 최근 노동운동 기록의 수집과 관리 등을 사업으로 설정한 '노동자역사 한내'가 조직되어 기록의 전산화와 편찬사업 등 활발한 활동을 전개하고 있다. '한내'는 한국 사회에서 노동 아카이브로 전환될 수 있는 일정한 조건을 갖추고 있다. 그러나 단순히 전환의 문제만은 아니다. 노동 아카이브를 설립하는 과정에서 연대와 실천을 통해 노동조합의 기록관리 기반을 만들고 정상화 시켜야 한다. '노동조합 표준 기록관리 규정'의 보급, 보유일정표 재설계, 노동조합의 기록관리 모형 개발 등 기록관리의 기초적인 활동을 사업의 중심으로 삼아야 한다. 또한 기록의 공유를 통한 연대와 소통을 위해 노동 아카이브 허브 기관의 역할도 담당해야 할 것이다. 이러한 것이 가능할 때 노동 아카이브 설립은 현실화 될 수 있을 것이다.

남아프리카공화국은 인종분리정책인 아파르트헤이트를 1948년부터 1994년까지 시행했다. 이 정책의 주요 내용은 백인과 인도인, 혼혈인, 흑인 등 인종을 계급화하고, 계층에 따라 거주지와 개인 재산 소유, 경제적 활동 등 모든 사회적 행위를 제한하는 것이었다. 백인을 제외한 모든 인종이 피부색이 다르다는 이유로 차별받았고, 탄압받았다. 남아프리카공화국 시민들은 무차별한 폭력을 일삼는 정부에 저항하였고, 이들을 지탄하는 여론은 지역 사회를 넘어 세계 곳곳으로 확대되었다. 이를 가능하게 한 것 중 하나는 폭력 현장을 자세히 기록한 사진 이미지들이다. 민중 탄압을 포착했던 외신 기자들은 물론 남아프리카공화국 출신의 사진작가들은 개인의 차원에서 소외되고 고통받는 사람들의 삶을 기록하는데 몰두했다. 이들이 현실을 알리려는 의지가 없었고 실제로 이를 사진으로 기록하지 않았다면, 많은 사람이 인종 차별로 기인한 사태의 참혹함을 알지 못했을 것이다. 이에 본 논문은 아파르트헤이트의 여러 단면을 포착해 그와 관련한 여러 기록을 전시한 『Rise and Fall of Apartheid: Photography and the Bureaucracy of Everyday Life』를 주목하고, 사진에서 묘사된 남아프리카공화국에서 자행된 인종 차별의 면면을 살펴보고자 한다. 이 전시는 아파르트헤이트가 시작된 1948년부터 넬슨 만델라가 대통령으로 선출된 후, 잘못된 역사관을 바로잡으려는 진실화해위원회가 출범한 1995년까지의 시기를 다룬다. 전시에 출품된 수많은 사진은 대중에게도 잘 알려진 피터 마구베네(Peter Magubane), 이안 베리(Ian Berry), 데이비드 골드블라트(David Goldblatt), 산투 모포켕(Santu Mofokeng) 등이 촬영한 것으로, 다양한 아카이브를 비롯한 박물관, 미술관, 언론 매체의 소장품이다. 전시에 출품된 사진들은 일차적으로는 사진작가들의 작업 결과물이다. 사진 작품인 동시에 1960년대 이후 남아프리카공화국의 과거를 증명하는 매체이지만 역사학이나 기록학적인 관점보다는 사진사와 미술사의 영역에서 주로 다루어졌다. 하지만 전시된 사진들은 기록물로서의 특성이 있고, 그 안에 담긴 맥락 정보는 역사를 다양한 시각으로 되짚어볼 수 있는 특징이 있다. 따라서 기존에 연구된 영역에서 확대하여 다양한 시선으로 당대를 살펴보고, 이를 새롭게 해석하는 것이 매우 중요하다. 전시에서 선보인 사진 작품들은 남아프리카공화국의 공식 기록에 포함되지 않은 사건과 사람을 증명하고 서술한다. 이런 점은 보통 사람들의 기억, 개인의 기록을 통해 사회적으로 소외된 인물과 사건을 역사적 공백으로 편입시키고, 여러 매체로 재생산되어 기록 생산의 맥락을 강화하고 확산시킨다는 점에서 그 의의를 찾을 수 있다.
