Political activities through social networking service (SNS) are common in the political communication environment. The main aim of this study is to present logical and empirical evidence on the effects of politicians' SNS activities. To achieve this goal, this research analyzed the relationship between the SNS activities of politicians and the political efficacy and political participation of citizens through a survey of 644 people. The results of the survey analysis showed that politicians' SNS activities have a positive effect on both the internal and external efficacies of citizens and that these efficacies positively influence political participation. This finding means that the SNS activities of politicians promote political participation by increasing the political efficacy of citizens and states. The results also suggest that SNS, with its characteristics of communication and interaction, plays a crucial role as a political communication medium. Therefore, with SNS, a variety of information sources on politics can be offered, suggestions from citizens can be embraced, and such suggestions can be revealed to politicians as a means of promoting political efficacy and participation.

Scholars have long debated the factors that drive political participation and have recently applied theories, developed from analyses of citizens from Europe and the United States, to respondents in the democratizing countries of Asia. In both Hong Kong and Singapore, however, citizens attend rallies and contact officials - yet do so under authoritarian governance. Are the causes of political participation in these cities similar to what is observed in other groups of respondents across Asia? Or, do institutions influence whether individuals participate? In this paper, I evaluate the development of liberal norms of engagement in both cities as a function of traditional models of participation. As citizens in these cities possess some of the highest standards of living in the region, they should also face frustrations with the limited democratic accountability of their leaders. Ultimately, individuals in each city have developed support for democracy but, given the differing goals of each regime, the nature of democratic engagement differs considerably. In Singapore, citizens are mobilized to engage and participate but support the status quo. By contrast, engaged Hong Kong residents participate out of a frustration with the government, a function of their high levels of internal efficacy and institutional detachment.

This Meta-Analysis of 18 studies was conducted to determine the magnitude of th relationship between health promotion behavior and each of explanatory variables. The studies were measured using Health Promoting Life Style(HPLP) developed by Walker and others based on Pender's definiton of health promoting behavior. The sample was collected by searching for The Journal of Korean Academy Nursing Society, The Journal of Korean Women's Health Nursing Academic Society,The Journal of Korean Academic Society of Adult Nursing, Journal of Korean Community Nursing, The Journal of Fundamentals of Nursing, The Journal of Korean Nursing Administration Academic Society, The Korean Journal of Child Health Nursing, The Journal of Korean Psychiatric Academic Society, the dissertations for mater degree or doctoral dissertations for the period from 1980 to 1998. The explanatory variables measured more than 2 times in studies were self-efficacy, perceived health status, self-esteem, internal, powerful-others and chance dimensions of health locus of control, perceived benefits, hardiness, wellbeing and clinical demensions of health concepts, and quality of life(life satisfaction). Effect sizes were calculated by unweighted mean r, weighted mean r by sample size and weighted mean r by quality index score after homogeneity test. The mean r effect size indicator range of each predictor variable were as follows; quality of life (0.50- 0.52), self-efficacy (0.46-0.47), hardiness (0.42-0.44), self-esteem(0.41-0.43), health locus of control- internal(0.32-0.34), health locus of control- powerful others (0.25-0.31), perceived health status(0.18-0.19) and clinical dimensions of health concepts (0.16-0.17).

The eminent brother doctors Cho-Gaek Hur (Young Hur) and Cho-Sam Hur (Eon Hur) represent the medical tradition of the southeastern region of Mt. Jirisan incluiding Sancheong. This study investigated and examined their herediatary testimonies and medico-historical facts described in the literature tale, genealogy and family collection of works. At an early age after their family run away to the southern region from the harm of political struggle, they gave up taking the highest-level state examination to recruit ranking officials and set their heart on learning medicine. Their choice of medicine was the second best plan for the survival of their family and descendents from the influence of their ancestors who suffered from the party strife during the late Joseon Dynasty. The case is a good example of the deliberate action of the nobility intellectuals since the late Goryeo and early Joseon dynasties to who made attempts to have the minimum elegance and cause while securing livelihood after they have been collapsed politically. The tale of Cho-Gaek and Cho-Sam is a typical story of eminent doctors which combined reality and fiction about the persons who had outstanding medical skills. In the tale, the elder brother was good at herbal prescriptions and the younger brother was good at acupuncture, contrasting the treatment of administrative internal medicine and insertive acupuncture treatment. It shows that the prepositions for the choice of the treatment method for the public during that period were safety and fast efficacy. In their old age, they wrote a book titled Jinyangsinbang. Another Jinwoosinbang is estimated as a different kind of copy, which was a medical writing from experience that derived from the same original book as Jinyangsinbang. written by Cho-Gaek Hur and it is a valuable medical material that possesses the distinct features of the local medicine during the late Joseon Dynasty. Most of the contents are variations in application using the basis of Dongeuibogam, forming the roots of the traditional Korean medicine in Sancheong region together with the medical activities of the Hur brothers.

이 글에서는 박근혜 정부가 적극적으로 추진해온 노동시장 구조개혁을 둘러싼 노동정치의 국면에서 한국노총과 민주노총이 보여온 정책대안과 활동전략을 중심으로 우리 노조운동의 전략적 역량을 검토하며 비판적으로 평가하고 있다. 정부 주도의 노동시장유연화 정책이 계획대로 성사된 것은 아니지만, 노동계가 그들이 바라는 고용안정성을 강화하는 진보적인 노동개혁을 관철시키는'파워의 역설'을 이뤄내지 못하였을 뿐 아니라 정부의 개혁정책에 대해 전략적 역량을 제대로 발휘하지 못하였다. 특히, 양노총은 조합원대중의 결집된 동원(조직연대자원)과 시민사회 친노동정치 세력과의 광범한 연대(연결망자원), 우호적 지지여론의 확보-강화(담론자원), 그리고 활동체계 조직자원 등의 효능적 집행(인프라자원)을 이뤄낼 수 있는 전략적 역량을 제대로 행사하지 못해온 것으로 평가된다. 노동시장 구조개혁을 둘러싼 노동정치에 있어 행사되는 노조운동의 전략적 역량에는 대중적 담론의 형성과 확산이 무엇보다 중요하다. 왜냐하면, 제한된 운동자원과 불리한 권력지형의 제약에 놓여 있는 노조운동으로서는 조직 안의 대중적 결집과 강력한 동원을 이뤄냄과 동시에 조직 밖의 시민사회로부터 대중적 지지와 동참을 이끌어낼 수 있는가의 여부가 그들의 정치적 협상력이나 사회적 영향력을 더욱 중요하게 좌우하기 때문이다. 노동개혁을 둘러싼 노동정치의 국면에서 노조운동으로서는 조직안팎에 대한 프레밍 조정 총화 학습의 전략적 능력을 효과적으로 행사하는 것이 더욱 중요해진다. 최근의 노동개혁국면에서 우리 노조운동은 보유한 자원을 제대로 가동-활용치 못하고 타성적 방식으로 저항운동을 전개함으로써 스스로 조직 안팎의 대중으로부터 운동적 효능감을 잃어가고 있는 것에 대해 깊은 성찰이 요구된다. 또한, 노동시장의 진보적 개혁을 도모함에 있어 정 경 언의 보수 권력연합 앞에서 분열된 조직노동과 야당 및 시민사회의 각개적 대응이 무기력할 수 밖에 없는 만큼, 친노동 세력과 집단들간에 유기적 연대-공조 네트워크를 만들어내는 것이 필요하다.
