Social Confluence Theory, as Applied to Cases of Disability Status and Korean Identity
Alex Lubet,김향은 한국학중앙연구원 한국학중앙연구원 2015 THE REVIEW OF KOREAN STUDIES Vol.18 No.2
This paper presents an exposition of social confluence theory, a concept of identity formation first introduced by Alex Lubet. The theory posits that the fundamental unit of identity in globalized, high technology, information-oriented societies such as the United States and South Korea is no longer a relatively stable unit such as the nation-state, ethnic group, faith community, nuclear or extended family, or individual. Rather, it is the status of the individual or group within the sociocultural or psychosocial encounter of the moment, which we call the social confluence. We first demonstrate the application of the theory with examples from the intersection of disability and music. To further illustrate the theory’s potential, we apply it to Korean identity, demonstrating the great mutability of that identity across different contexts or social confluences, using examples from South Korea and the United States, including international Korean adoptees, North Korean refugees, and Korean and other Asian-Americans in pan-Asian arts organizations. We conclude by proposing research topics in disability studies and Korean studies for which social confluence theory seems particularly apt, in particular the categorizations of people with Autistic Spectrum Conditions, while proposing extended research applications for the theory, with particular attention toward South Korea.
Management of Malignancies Developing in AYA

Adolescent and young adult (AYA) with cancers have distinct spectrum of cancers as compared to younger and older age groups. The definition of age limits of AYA varies among countries, from 15-25 years to 12-39 years. The differences in age definition lead to variation in report of incidence, types of cancers and survival. In younger AYA patients, hematological malignancies are leading cause of cancers. In older AYA patients, testicular cancers are common in males while breast cancers and cervical cancers are predominant types in females. There is increasing incidence of AYA cancers worldwide in the past two decades. Overall survival and treatment outcome of AYA cancer has been improving in the last few decades. Specialized centers for AYA with cancers provide more comprehensive care and have been reported to have superior outcome. About 80% of AYA with cancers survive at 5 years after diagnosis but they are higher risk of developing second malignancies. Barriers to AYA cancer treatment included social economic status, insurance system and accessibility to clinical trials. Survivors of AYA cancers are also at higher risk dying from cardiovascular diseases and respiratory diseases. Survivorship program should be in place to enhance education and surveillance.
Effect of a through-building gap on wind-induced loading and dynamic responses of a tall building
Alex P. To,K.M. Lam,S.Y. Wong,Z.N. Xie 한국풍공학회 2012 Wind and Structures, An International Journal (WAS Vol.15 No.6
Many tall buildings possess through-building gaps at middle levels of the building elevation. Some of these floors are used as sky gardens, or refuge floors, through which wind can flow with limited blockage. It has been reported in the literature that through-building gaps can be effective in reducing across-wind excitation of tall buildings. This paper systematically examines the effectiveness of two configurations of a through-building gap, at the mid-height of a tall building, in reducing the windinduced dynamic responses of the building. The two configurations differ in the pattern of throughbuilding opening on the gap floor, one with opening through the central portion of the floor and the other with opening on the perimeter of the floor around a central core. Wind forces and moments on the building models were measured with a high-frequency force balance from which dynamic building responses were computed. The results show that both configurations of a through-building gap are effective in reducing the across-wind excitation with the one with opening around the perimeter of the floor being significantly more effective. Wind pressures were measured on the building faces with electronic pressure scanners to help understand the generation of wind excitation loading. The data suggest that the through-building gap reduces the fluctuating across-wind forces through a disturbance of the coherence and phase-alignment of vortex excitation.
Impact Assessment of International Strategies of Combating Cybercrime in West Africa

많은 국제 사이버범죄의 진원지이기도 한 나이지리아 등 서아프리카 지역에서도 국가 혹은 국제적인 사이버범죄 전략을 수립하였으나 범죄발생 상황은 나아지지 않고 있다. 이에 본 논문에서는 서아프리카 국가의 사이버범죄 분야 종사자를 대상으로 한 설문을 중심으로 인터폴의 사이버범죄 전략모델(2016-2020)의 4대 영역, 수사기관의 역량개발, 경제 등 국가여건, 법제, 인식제고 캠페인의 사이버범죄에 미치는 영향을 분석, 평가하고 디지털증거 등 법집행분야를 중심으로 현재 전략의 문제점을 도출하고 개선방안을 논의하였는바, 역량강화가 가장 효과적인 전략으로 확인되었다. Countries in West Africa have engaged national and transnational strategies to combat cybercrime, but the cybercrime trend has been on the rise. In this paper, we analyzed the INTERPOL"s cybercrime global strategy of 2016-2020. Four factors and their correlational impact on cybercrime have been measured for 10 responding countries; Capacity Building of law enforcement personnel, National factors and access to data, Subscription to international and local cybercrime legislation, and Campaigns(focus is mainly law enforcement). We analyzed the result and implication with an advisory for future strategies and this research identified that capacity building amongst field officers is the most effective strategy.
