At the Center of the Kingdom

Dean G. Blevins 한국기독교교육정보학회 2009 Journal of Christian education information tech Vol.0 No.16

The recent cinematic portrayal of P. D. James’ novel Children of Men raises particularly stark images of a society bereft of children. What happens to the social order when children remain “absent” from the lives of adults? By extension, happens when children are “absent” from congregational situations, or at least considered invisible, to the spiritual practices at hand? The following article revises current definitions of children’s spirituality by offering Trinitarian view for shaping congregational practice around the presence of “with” children as participating agents who, according to the gospel of Luke remain “at the Center of the Kingdom of God. Critiquing views that reduce children to something incomplete as human beings, the article builds upon Robert Coles and Martin Marty’s exceptional but intricate theoretical observations around the “mystery” of the child. The article closes by providing one example of the very place of children in shaping the “heart cries” of prayer within the life of the congregation.

Implementation of ethical codes of conduct in Korean collegiate athletics

( Dean Myers ) 한국체육학회 2016 국제스포츠과학 학술대회 Vol.2016 No.1

Purpose: The aim of this study is to review current ethical issues in Korean collegiate athletics with the intention of recommending implementation of ethical codes of conducts for players, coaches and universities. These codes were based on current NCAA (National Collegiate Athletics Administration) ethical codes of conduct enforced by the NCAAs’ governing body. Method: This study reviews the empirical findings of existing literature in regards to ethical issues of South Korean collegiate athletics. In order to frame the social and cultural pressures athletes, coaches, and universities are subjected to, works by the following authors Park, Lim & Bretherton (2012); Hong & Yu (2007) were drawn from. The pressure to succeed was found to cause many of the current ethical issues in collegiate athletic programs and in the lives of athletes themselves. Cases of physical abuse, bullying and academic misconduct were found to be prevalent in existing literature and in athlete interviews of Korean collegiate programs. The pressure to produce results in athletics is not unique to Korea, and neither are the various unethical methods used to facilitate athletic success. To place these problems in a cultural and social framework the underlying causes were researched and concluded to draw from Confucian ideological systems of hierarchy and power relationships. Currently no major initiatives or government interventions have been implemented to rectify said issues. As no Korean based system currently exists to guide ethical behavior of athletics, existing systems of ethical conduct were examined outside of Korea. The NCAA of America was looked to as a foundational construct for the creation of a similar guidance system in Korea. The NCAA has varying ethical codes of conduct for coaches, players, universities and officials to draw from. These ethical codes of conduct were then benchmarked and recommended as new policy to be implemented for Korean collegiate athletics. Result: This study presents a viable option for laying the foundation needed to rectify current ethical issues in Korean collegiate sport. Through identifying current ethical issues in Korean athletic programs, problems were first framed based on their sociocultural circumstances. Framing these issues allows for the proper application of ethical codes of conduct in Korea. Once the problems are framed, benchmarking NCAA protocol and case studies can begin. The process of benchmarking provides a legal and ethical path for future policy makers to institute ethical changes. Conclusion: It has been found that sociocultural reasons for current ethical issues in sport are mendable with the strict implementation of ethical codes of conduct. Key to implementation of ethical code of conduct will be depended on the governing body’s ability to hold perpetrators of ethical misconduct accountable for their actions. The NCAA provides an enforceable framework that Korean collegiate athletics should benchmark as a means of rectifying current ethical issues ushering in a new frame of higher moral standard.

The health effects of ultrafine particles

Dean E. Schraufnagel 생화학분자생물학회 2020 Experimental and molecular medicine Vol.52 No.-

Ultrafine particles (PM0.1), which are present in the air in large numbers, pose a health risk. They generally enter the body through the lungs but translocate to essentially all organs. Compared to fine particles (PM2.5), they cause more pulmonary inflammation and are retained longer in the lung. Their toxicity is increased with smaller size, larger surface area, adsorbed surface material, and the physical characteristics of the particles. Exposure to PM0.1 induces cough and worsens asthma. Metal fume fever is a systemic disease of lung inflammation most likely caused by PM0.1. The disease is manifested by systemic symptoms hours after exposure to metal fumes, usually through welding. PM0.1 cause systemic inflammation, endothelial dysfunction, and coagulation changes that predispose individuals to ischemic cardiovascular disease and hypertension. PM0.1 are also linked to diabetes and cancer. PM0.1 can travel up the olfactory nerves to the brain and cause cerebral and autonomic dysfunction. Moreover, in utero exposure increases the risk of low birthweight. Although exposure is commonly attributed to traffic exhaust, monitored students in Ghana showed the highest exposures in a home near a trash burning site, in a bedroom with burning coils employed to abate mosquitos, in a home of an adult smoker, and in home kitchens during domestic cooking. The high point-source production and rapid redistribution make incidental exposure common, confound general population studies and are compounded by the lack of global standards and national reporting. The potential for PM0.1 to cause harm to health is great, but their precise role in many illnesses is still unknown and calls for more research.

The Cigartte Problem and What can be Done About it

Dean,Ward 한양대학교 의과대학 학생회 1973 杏堂醫烽 Vol.- No.1

Shortly after my arrival in Korea a little over three years ago, I was initially puzzled by the frequency with which I was asked (by persons whom I'd just met) whether I was a Christian or not-a rather personal question, and a subject which is usually avoided in coversations among Westerners. It was sometime later that I was told that I was asked this question due to the fact that I don't smoke cigarettes-an explanation which eluded me initially, as in Western societies, a person's religious habits seldom have anything to do with his smoking habits (or vice versa). Not once were the health aspects of cigarette smoking considered by my questioners, which seemed surprising in view of the overwhelming worldwide evidence mounting against cigarettes as the primary causative agent in a number of debillitating diseases.

Large-scale reactor simulation often requires the use of Monte Carlo calculation techniques to estimateimportant reactor parameters. One drawback of these Monte Carlo calculation techniques is they inevitablyresult in some uncertainty in calculated quantities. The present study includes parametric uncertaintyquantification (UQ) and sensitivity analysis (SA) on the Advanced Test Reactor Critical (ATRC)facility housed at Idaho National Laboratory (INL) and addresses some complications due to Monte Carlouncertainty when performing these analyses. This approach for UQ/SA includes consideration of MonteCarlo code uncertainty in computed sensitivities, consideration of uncertainty from directly measuredparameters and a comparison of results obtained from brute-force Monte Carlo UQ versus UQ obtainedfrom a surrogate model. These methodologies are applied to the uncertainty and sensitivity of keff for twosets of uncertain parameters involving fuel plate geometry and fuel plate composition. Results indicate that the less computationally-expensive method for uncertainty quantification involvinga linear surrogate model provides accurate estimations for keff uncertainty and the Monte Carlo uncertaintyin calculated keff values can have a large effect on computed linear model parameters for parameterswith low influence on keff.

Mini-Trampoline운동중 인체가 받는 중력가속도의 변화

(Dean, Ward),주영은(Choo, Young-Eun) 대한생리학회 1982 대한생리학회지 Vol.16 No.2

수직뛰기 운동을 위한 mini-trampoline은 운동중 인체에 미치는 중력가속도를 변화시킴으로써 그 효과를 나타낸다고 하므로, mini-trampoline 운동중에 피검자가 받는 중력가속도를 다음과 같은 방법으로 측정하였다. 피검자로 하여금 mini-trampoline상에서 최대의 높이로 수직뛰기를 반복시키고, 그 뒷벽에는 3인치 간격의 눈금을 표시하여 뛰는 높이를 알 수 있게 하였다. 수직뛰기를 하는 동안에 super-8 mm 영사기로 초당 48 frames의 속도로 촬영한 후 각 frame에 나타난 피검자의 두정부 높이를 알아내었다. 수직뛰기하는 동안 시간에 대한 머리높이의 면화를 graph에 그려서 상승뛰기 운동시의 최대속도를 계산하였다. 이 결과로 부터 Arizona State University의 Crash Survival Investigator s School에서 고안한 다음의 공식을 사용하여 중력가속도(G)를 계산하였다. G=0.7854·V² / 32.2S V= 상승운동시 나타난 최대속도 (fps) S = 하강운동시 정지거리 (ft) 본 연구에서 V는 약 9fps 였고, S는 0.61 ft 였으며 따라서 G는 3.24+G_z였다. 인체가 친밀 수 있는 증력가속도의 한계가 +G_z방향으로 0.1초동안 20G이며 -G_z방향으로 0.1초 동안 15G임을 고러할 때 mini-trampoline운동으로써 얻을 수 있는 중력가속도는 인체에 유해할 만큼 큰 것이 아니라는 것을 알 수 있다. It has been hypothesized that the effectiveness of the popular mini-trampoline as a conditioning device is due to the increased gravitational forces which are imparted to every cell in the body during its use. This study evaluated a means of determining the acceleration forces on a subject using a minitrampoline. By cinematic evaluation, a plot of the changes in distance over time was obtained. Using the formulas developed at the Arizona State University Crash Survival Investigators School, the maximum acceleration forces were determined to be approximately 3.2+G_z.
