Since the Salamanca statement in 1994, inclusive education became the worldwide issue in the field of educational policy. Inclusive education is defined that equality and comprehensive education in the classroom to learning together regardless of whether with disability or not (Han et al, 2013). Inclusive education is the educational system and consist of the three domains; guarantee of rights, improvement in environment and reform in curriculum (Han et al, 2015). Diversity education has been positioned as an educational method in inclusive education. Diversity in classroom is very wide ranging; nationality, gender, culture, race, ethnicity, disability, age and religion. Diversity education is the educational method to providing the appropriate education for the children's diversity on the assumption that appreciate to the diversity. In recent years, the main purpose of inclusive education is to encompass children with disabilities. However, developmental disabilities that has no intellectual delay become a new challenge in education in addition to the physical and mental disability.

This study examined a causal relation between employment and depression among low-income young mothers who participated in New Chance Demonstration Study(NC). Using baseline and first follow-up interview data from NC study, this study selected 756 young mothers who were at risk of depression and unemployed at baseline. About 18% of them were employed and 45% of them were no longer at risk of depression at the first follow-up interview. The young mothers grade level and their race/ethnicity were significantly related to the number of weeks employed between the two time points and employment at the 1st follow-up interview. It was also found that employment was negatively associated with depression at the 1st follow-up interview. These findings imply that employment can ameliorate depressive symptoms of low-income young mothers.

Background: Cognitive impairment is a public health burden. Our objective was to investigate associations between work hours and cognitive function. Methods: Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis (MESA) participants (n = 2,497; 50.7% men; age range 44-84 years) reported hours per week worked in all jobs in Exams 1 (2000-2002), 2 (2002-2004), 3 (2004-2005), and 5 (2010-2011). Cognitive function was assessed (Exam 5) using the Cognitive Abilities Screening Instrument (version 2), a measure of global cognitive functioning; the Digit Symbol Coding, a measure of processing speed; and the Digit Span test, a measure of attention and working memory. We used a prospective approach and linear regression to assess associations for every 10 hours of work. Results: Among all participants, associations of hours worked with cognitive function of any type were not statistically significant. In occupation-stratified analyses (interaction p = 0.051), longer work hours were associated with poorer global cognitive function among Sales/Office and blue-collar workers, after adjustment for age, sex, physical activity, body mass index, race/ethnicity, educational level, annual income, history of heart attack, diabetes, apolipoprotein E-epsilon 4 allele (ApoE4) status, birth-place, number of years in the United States, language spoken at MESA Exam 1, and work hours at Exam 5 (β = -0.55, 95% CI = -0.99, -0.09) and (β = -0.80, -1.51, -0.09), respectively. In occupation-stratified analyses (interaction p = 0.040), we also observed an inverse association with processing speed among blue-collar workers (adjusted β = -0.80, -1.52, -0.07). Sex, race/ethnicity, and ApoE4 did not significantly modify associations between work hours and cognitive function. Conclusion: Weak inverse associations were observed between work hours and cognitive function among Sales/Office and blue-collar workers.

최근 ChatGPT 등 거대언어모델(Large Language Models)의 활용은 대화형상거래, 모바일금융 서비스 등 다양한 분야에서 사용이 증가하고 있다. 그러나 주로 기존 문서를 학습하여 만들어진 거대언어모델은 문서에 내재된 인간의 다양한 편향까지도 학습할 수 있다. 그럼에도 불구하고 거대언어모델에 편향과 차별의 양상에 대한 비교연구는 거의 이루어지지 않았다. 이에 본 연구의 목적은 거대언어모델안에 9가지 차별(Age, Disability status, Gender identity, Nationality, Physical appearance, Race ethnicity, Religion, Socio-economic status, Sexual orientation)의 존재유무 또는 그 정도를 점검하고 발전 방안을 제안하는 것이다. 이를 위해 차별 양상을 특정하기 위한 도구인 BBQ (Bias Benchmark for QA)를 활용하여 ChatGPT, GPT-3, Bing Chat 등 세가지 거대언어모델을 대상으로 비교하였다. 평가 결과 거대언어모델에 적지 않은 차별적 답변이 관찰되었으며, 그 양상은 거대언어모델에 따라 차이가 있었다. 특히 성차별, 인종차별, 경제적 불평등 등 전통적인 인공지능 윤리 이슈가 아닌 노인차별, 장애인차별에서 문제점이 노출되어, 인공지능 윤리의 새로운 관점을 찾을 수 있었다. 비교 결과를 기반으로 추후 거대언어모델의 보완 및 발전 방안에 대해 기술하였다.

This paper focuses on how Younghill Kang internalizes whiteness ideology through interracial romance to build himself as an oriental Yankee and recover his masculinity in his autobiographical novel East Goes West. This paper also focuses on Kang's strategy of racial and cultural hybridity presented in this novel. The theoretical basis of my argument is a mixture of Fanon's psychoanalysis in his Black Skin, White Masks, Bhabha's notion of mimicry in The Location of Culture, and notions related to race and gender of some Asian critics such as Patricia Chu, Jinqi Ling, and Lisa Lowe. In East Goes West, white women appear as "ladder of success" of successful assimilation and serve as cultural mediators and instructors and sometimes adversaries who Korean male immigrants have to win to establish identities in which Americanness, ethnicity, and masculinity are integrated. However, three Korean men, Chungpa Han, To Wan Kim, George Jum, who fall in love with white women fail to win their beloveds in marriage. George Jum fails to sustain a white dancer, Jun' interest. Kim wins the affection of Helen Hancock, a New England lady, but Kim commits suicide when he knows Helen killed herself because her family doesn't approve their relationship. Han's love for Trip remains vague, but Kang implies Han will continue his quest for "the spiritual home" as the name of "Trip." In East Goes West, Kang also attempts to challenge the imagining of a pure, monolithic, and naturalized white dominant U.S. Culture by exploring the cultural and racial hybridity shown by June and the various scenes of Halem in the 1920s. June who works for a Harlem cabaret is a white woman but she wears dark makeup. Kang questions the white face of America's self-understanding and racial constitution of a unified white American culture through June's racial masquerade. Kang shows that like Asian and black Americans, the white American also has an ambivalent racial identity through June's black mimicry and there is no natural and unchanging essence behind one's gender and race identity constitution.

세계역사가 서구의 식민지배와 근대를 통해 엘리트적 서구예술음악이 중심으로 부상되는 과정에서 지역의 음악들은 전근대적, 주변적 지위로 위치지워졌다. 20세기의 대중음악은 서구의 자본주의, 상업주의, 음반산업, 대중매체, 기술과 정보의 확산을 통해, 새로운 중심의 지위를 차지하였고 21세기 들어 다양한 글로컬리제이션과 초문화적 초국경적 문화현상을 첨예하게 보여주는 장이 되어가고 있다. 전 지구적 자본, 시장, 경계의 넘나듦을 실천하고 문화산업, 대중음악, 공연예술시장에서 매력적인 분야로 성장하고 있는 월드뮤직은 식민지와 근대를 통해 '서구'에게 발견되었던 '비서구'의 '민속적' '전통적'인 음악들이 가장 탈근대적인 방식으로 '차용' '적합화' '혼종'된 음악으로, 글로컬리제이션을 실천하고 있다. 흥미로운 점은 포스트 모던시대를 대표하는 음악현상인 월드뮤직도 기본적으로는 근대적이었던 음악인류학의 전제와 마찬가지로 '다름'과 '차이'를 기반으로 구성하고 있다는 점이다. 탈영토화된 월드뮤직은 다양한 방식을 통해 타자의 이국적인 음악으로 민족적인 것으로 재현되고, 재현된 민족성은 글로벌시대 다양한 맥락을 가진 로컬의 청중들에게 각기 다른 방식으로 체험된다. 혼종을 실현한 월드뮤직에서도 민속적 악기들, 민속적 보컬스타일들은 월드뮤직의 민족적 음악풍경을 구성하면서 구체화한다. 또한 월드뮤직의 청중은 음악적 '다름'과 '상상된 민족'을 소비하는 글로벌 대중으로 일상의 음악적 소비와 체험을 통해 다층적 사회적 의미들을 구성하고 있다. 월드뮤직의 초문화적 음악적 실천은 기본적으로 민족의 상상을 기반으로 한다. 더 나아가 이러한 상상은 구체적으로 음악의 양식을 뛰어넘어 글로벌 정치, 경제, 문화의 특정조건들 속에서 자신만의 방식으로 민족을 상상하는 생산자와 매개자, 그리고 로컬적 삶의 경험속에서 '다름'과 '차이'를 다시 민족적으로 구성하여 인식하는 해석자의 다양한 상상력에 의해 "구성된 복수의 세계"로서의 전 지구를 상상하고 민족성의 새로운 의미를 "주조하고 동원"한다. 월드뮤직은 다층적인 "상상된 민족들"의 세계가 교차되어 만들어진 구성물로 수많은 초문화적인 의미들을 생산해 내고 있다.

In Korea, overseas adoption has been practiced for more than 50 years. Initially, overseas adoption began with the objective to provide permanent homes for Korean war orphans, including mixed-blood children. From 1953 to 2007, about 160,000 Korean children were placed worldwide through overseas adoption and approximately 70,000 children were adopted in Korea. During that period, Korea developed into one of leading industrial countries in the world and the family norms changed dramatically. Since 1989, the Korean government has made diverse efforts to increase domestic adoptions and to support adopted families through the revisions to Korea's Child Welfare Law. However, it is not enough to reduce overseas adoptions rapidly because the Korean government's economic support for adopted families is not adequate and Korean sentiments regarding adoption have not changed. Being an international adoptee is a unique experience, involving dissimilarities of race, ethnicity, and culture. Clearly, it is very important for us to focus on placing Korean children in the best possible environment. Therefore, Korea must make diverse efforts to reduce overseas adoptions and to encourage domestic adoption. First, Korean society has to try to reduce the number of children who need out-of-home care. Second, the Korean government and people should make an effort to increase domestic adoptions, including adoptions of disabled and older children. Finally, the Korean government and adoption agencies have to provide professional pre-adoption and post-adoption services for international adoptees and adoptive parents.

Background: This study hypothesized living in a poor neighborhood decreased the cause specific survival in individuals suffering from carcinoid carcinomas. Surveillance, Epidemiology and End Results (SEER) carcinoid carcinoma data were used to identify potential socioeconomic disparities in outcome. Materials and Methods: This study analyzed socioeconomic, staging and treatment factors available in the SEER database for carcinoid carcinomas. The Kaplan-Meier method was used to analyze time to events and the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test to compare survival curves. The Cox proportional hazard method was employed for multivariate analysis. Areas under the receiver operating characteristic curves (ROCs) were computed to screen the predictors for further analysis. Results: There were 38,546 patients diagnosed from 1973 to 2009 included in this study. The mean follow up time (S.D.) was 68.1 (70.7) months. SEER stage was the most predictive factor of outcome (ROC area of 0.79). 16.4% of patients were un-staged. Race/ethnicity, rural urban residence and county level family income were significant predictors of cause specific survival on multivariate analysis, these accounting for about 5% of the difference in actuarial cause specific survival at 20 years of follow up. Conclusions: This study found poorer cause specific survival of carcinoid carcinomas of individuals living in poor and rural neighborhoods.

Background: Breast cancer (BC) is a major health issue worldwide as well as in Pakistan. All women belonging to any race, ethnicity or lineage are in danger of developing breast cancer. Significant factors influencing the development of breast malignancies are the genetic background, environmental conditions, reproductive parameters, the consequences of female hormones both intrinsic and extrinsic, alteration of immune status, and biologic determinants. Materials and Methods: Overall 150 biopsy proven patients were included in the study. Samples were submitted for histopathology and determination of estrogen and progesterone receptor expression and HER-2/neu status. Associations with other characteristics like age, tumor stage, node involvement, histological grade were also studied. Results: Mean age at presentation was 46.7 years. The majority had invasive ductal carcinoma, 100 (84.7%), and were in stage pT3, 54 (45.7%). Important relationships (P<0.05) were found among ER, PR positivity, and Her 2 neu overexpression. However, no noteworthy link was identified amongst ER, PR, Her 2 neu and tumor grade, stage, age, lymph node involvement except for the menopausal status. Conclusions: In summary, breast cancer patients featured an advanced stage of disease, more lymph node involvement, and moderately high grade tumors and with more estrogen, progesterone receptor and HER-2 positive tumors.

Purpose - While many related prior studies have focused on the segregation by race and ethnicity, the academic interest in the separation of residence by income and social class is gradually increasing. This study aims to not only investigate spatial pattern of economic segregation and poverty rate in South Korea, but also shed light on what affect residential distribution of the poor. Research design, data, and methodology - The unit of analysis is Si-Gun-Gu municipal level entities of South Korea. Most demographic, socioeconomic, and residential variables were derived from Korean Census Data in 2015. In order to examine spatial patterns of economic segregation and poverty rate in South Korea, a series of measurements and visualization was conducted through the Geo-Segregation Analyzer and ArcGIS programs. Determinants of economic segregation and local poverty rates were investigated by regression analyses using STATA. Results - The spatial patterns of areas with high poverty rates were extremely clustered, while the distribution of areas with high economic segregation was relatively evenly distributed. Demographic, residential, and local factors appeared to affect whether the poor live in particular area or spread evenly. Conclusions - The factors that raise the poverty rate result in lower level of economic segregation, while factors that reduce the poverty rate lead to severe level of economic segregation.
