Hyojin Jang,Minji Oh,Hwan Seong Lee 한국학술연구원 2024 Korea Observer Vol.55 No.2

This research investigates the impact of media coverage of performance information on the budget spending intentions of both public officials and citizens. It delves into the mechanisms through which media coverage shapes government performance assessment and explores how negative media portrayal affects budgetary decisions, distinguishing between budget inefficiencies, policy design flaws, and budget shortages as key content categories. The findings elucidate divergent budget spending intentions between public officials and citizens, emphasizing the intricate interplay between the tone and content of media reports and their influence on budgetary intentions. This study highlights the pivotal yet often neglected aspect of news content in molding public and official perceptions of government performance. Furthermore, it accentuates the essentiality of proactive government communication strategies in managing public perception, advocating for the institutionalization of performance information dissemination to effectively address the nuances of both successful and unsuccessful policy measures.

Organizational responses to work-life balance issues: The adoption and use of family-friendly policies in Korean organizations

Hyojin Jang,Hyejin Ahn 한국행정학회 2021 International Review of Public Administration Vol.26 No.3

Korea’s low birth rate raises the issue of work-life balance (WLB) in the country. Given this context, this study aims to explore the factors that contribute to the adoption and use of family-friendly policies (FFPs) as a result of companies’ adaptive responses to internal and external pressures. This study explores these factors by focusing on the organizational slack and internal constituents based on organizational adaptation theory. The findings indicate that internal constituents (i.e., labor unions and the proportion of female, older and professional employees) have an impact on the adoption and use of FFPs, while the impact of organizational slack is limited. The results suggest strengthening policies to facilitate communications between employees and employers as well as among employees to enhance the effectiveness of WLB policies.

This paper assesses the impacts of the Vocational Education and Training(VET) for youth on the school-to-work transition in South Korea. The result of the empirical analysis shows youths with vocational training experiences are more likely to be employed when all other factors are equal. However, the training experiences do not increase the chances to obtain stable or higher paying jobs. Based on these findings, this paper concludes with policy recommendations to expand and strengthen the public-sponsored VET programs for youth in order to meet the demand of the market and increase the credibility of the public VET system.

19세기 말~20세기 초 중국 요업(窯業) 공장(工匠)의 조선 도래

장효진 ( Jang Hyojin ) 이화여자대학교 한국문화연구원 2017 한국문화연구 Vol.32 No.-

개항 이전 조선에 중국 도자는 주로 사행 중 공적으로 하사받거나 사무역을 통해 들어왔지만, 이를 전문적으로 제작·판매한 도공이나 상인집단이 직접 도래한 사례는 상대적으로 명확하게 확인하기 어렵다. 그러나 19세기 말경 개항으로 사회 전반에 큰 변화를 맞으며, 과거와 다른 경로로 외국 도자 및 요업 기술이 유입되었을 가능성이 생겨난 것으로 보인다. 본 연구는 조선과 청국 사이에 주고받은 공문서 및 각종 외교 문건 검토를 통해 개항 이후 중국인 요업 기술자가 조선에 도래한 사실을 밝히고자 했다. 특히 조·청간 왕래한 외교문서를 모아 놓은 『화안(華案)』을 중심으로 중국인 요업 기술자의 조선 도래 과정과 그 사이 발생한 외교문제에 주목했다. 1884년 일어난 두 사건을 집중적으로 분석했는데, 먼저, 1884년 조선 정부가 중국자기를 모방하고자 청국인 탕보신(湯輔臣)을 경덕진에 특별 파견해 도공 및 도자 제작에 필요한 원료를 유입하려한 사례를 살펴보았다. 그리고 청국 상인집단이 인천, 마포 등지에 전와요(塼瓦窯) 축조를 위해 조선의 허가를 받고자 발송한 문서를 정리했다. 이러한 자료 해석과 분석은 도자사 연구에서 아직 시도하지 못한 부분으로, 조선 말기 도자에 나타나는 외래 요소의 유입 과정을 이해하는데 바탕일 될 것이라 기대한다. Before opening of the port, Chinese porcelain usually have been introduced to Joseon dynasty as an official award or personal import. However, it is difficult to discover the arrival of porcelain masters or group of merchants who craft merchandise the product professionally. The import of the porcelain and its skill from other route seems to be started from facing social changing after opening of the port around late 19th century. This research proves the arrival of the porcelain master of Qing dynasty to Joseon dynasty after the opening of the port by official letter between two dynasties. Especially the “Hwaan(華 案)” is noticeable document which can explain of arrival of porcelain masters into Joseon dynasty and diplomatic problems between two dynasties. In this research, we focused on two incidents occurred in 1884. First we analyse the incident the Joseon dynasty sent Tang Fuchen(湯輔臣), who was from Qing dynasty, to Jingdezhen to import the porcelain master and the material. Also this research organize the letter of request of acceptance for construction of brick and tile kiln at Incheon and Mapo. Since afore mentioned analysis has not been fully understood, we expect our research will help understanding further studies on import of the foreign porcelain to late Joseon dynasty.

This study analyses aid evaluation systems in Germany, the United Kingdom, and South Korea from the comparative perspective in order to provide policy implications for the Korea’s case. In recent years, aid organizations in many advanced donor countries have admitted the limitations of micro-level evaluation system based on the concept of aid effectiveness. In turn, with the concept of development effectiveness, they have devised new evaluation design to address the extent to which foreign aids have contributed in developing countries’ national development and provide feedback to future policy-making based on the results of evaluation. Meanwhile, South Korea has received attention from the aid society to suggest new aid model corresponding to developing countries’ needs. This is because that South Korea is the first country which successfully turned into a donor from an aid recipient as joined the Development Assistance Committee (DAC) in the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) in 2010. However, the result shows that, in South Korea, most ODA policies have been evaluated at the project level and aid organizations still focuses on operational effectiveness. In this sense, there is room for South Korea to improve its aid evaluation system, incorporating the concept of development effectiveness into the system.

Objective: To assess focal mineral deposition in the globus pallidus (GP) by CT and quantitative susceptibility mapping (QSM) of MRI scans and evaluate its clinical significance, particularly cerebrovascular degeneration. Materials and Methods: This study included 105 patients (66.1 ± 13.7 years; 40 male and 65 female) who underwent both CT and MRI with available QSM data between January 2017 and December 2019. The presence of focal mineral deposition in the GP on QSM (GPQSM) and CT (GPCT) was assessed visually using a three-point scale. Cerebrovascular risk factors and small vessel disease (SVD) imaging markers were also assessed. The clinical and radiological findings were compared between the different grades of GPQSM and GPCT. The relationship between GP grades and cerebrovascular risk factors and SVD imaging markers was assessed using univariable and multivariable linear regression analyses. Results: GPCT and GPQSM were significantly associated (p < 0.001) but were not identical. Higher GPCT and GPQSM grades showed smaller gray matter (p = 0.030 and p = 0.025, respectively) and white matter (p = 0.013 and p = 0.019, respectively) volumes, as well as larger GP volumes (p < 0.001 for both). Among SVD markers, white matter hyperintensity was significantly associated with GPCT (p = 0.006) and brain atrophy was significantly associated with GPQSM (p = 0.032) in at univariable analysis. In multivariable analysis, the normalized volume of the GP was independently positively associated with GPCT (p < 0.001) and GPQSM (p = 0.002), while the normalized volume of the GM was independently negatively associated with GPCT (p = 0.040) and GPQSM (p = 0.035). Conclusion: Focal mineral deposition in the GP on CT and QSM might be a potential imaging marker of cerebral vascular degeneration. Both were associated with increased GP volume.

본 연구는 부부 및 연인 관계에서 적대적 귀인 편향을 구체적으로 식별하고 평가하는 낭만적 관계에서의 적대적 귀인 척도 한국판(Korean Hostile Attribution in Romantic Relationships Test: K-HARRT)의 요인구조, 신뢰도와 타당도를 확인하였다. 20~60대 남녀 444명을 대상으로 온라인 설문을 실시하고, SPSS와 AMOS를 사용해 자료를 분석했다. 탐색적 요인분석 결과 직접적 적대 귀인, 간접적 적대 귀인, 우호적 귀인으로 구성된 원판 HARRT와 달리 적대적 귀인 문항들이 이야기 별로 묶여 ‘도움필요 적대 귀인’, ‘제 3자 관계 적대 귀인’, ‘우호적 귀인’을 포함한 3요인 구조로 나왔고 확인적 요인분석 결과 모델 적합도가 양호하였다. 귀인 문항들과 일관된 요인 구조를 보이는지 알아보고자 정서 문항들을 요인분석 한 결과 마찬가지로 이야기 별로 ‘도움필요 부정 정서’와 ‘제 3자 관계 부정 정서’를 포함한 2요인 구조가 확인되었고, 모델 적합도가 양호하였다. 총 5요인 30문항의 내적일치도가 양호했고, 사회적 정보처리 귀인 및 정서 반응, 전반적 관계 불만족, 친밀한 관계 폭력, 성인애착 척도와의 상관 분석을 통해 확인한 공인타당도와 준거타당도도 양호했다. 원척도와 다른 요인구조에 대해 귀인 방식에서의 동서양 문화적 차이를 바탕으로 논의하였고, 본 연구의 의의와 한계, 후속 연구를 위한 제언을 제시하였다. Objectives: This study examined the factor structure, reliability, and validity of the Korean version of the Hostile Attribution in Romantic Relationships Test (K-HARRT), which assesses hostile attribution bias in ambiguous situations in romantic relationships. Methods: An online survey was conducted. Data from 444 (N=444) men and women in Korea aged 19-66, currently married or with romantic partners were analyzed using SPSS 30.0 and AMOS 30.0. Results: Results of exploratory factor analysis of the hostile attribution items showed a three-factor structure, including need for help HA, third party relationship HA, and benign attribution, which were grouped by vignettes. Confirmatory factor analysis showed a good model fit. Results of the exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis of negative emotion items were also grouped by vignettes and consisted of two factors. The internal consistency of the final 30 items was good. Concurrent and criterion validity with SIP-AEQ, GDS, CTS-2, and ECR-R were adequate. Conclusions: Implications for potential cross-cultural differences with regard to factor structure were discussed. Strengths and limitations of the study and suggestions for future research were discussed.

Genomic Alterations in Biliary Tract Cancer Using Targeted Sequencing ¹

Yoo, Kwai Han,Kim, Nayoung K.D.,Kwon, Woo Il,Lee, Chung,Kim, Sun Young,Jang, Jiryeon,Ahn, Jungmi,Kang, Mihyun,Jang, Hyojin,Kim, Seung Tae,Ahn, Soomin,Jang, Kee-Taek,Park, Young Suk,Park, Woong-Yang,Le Neoplasia Press 2016 Translational oncology Vol.9 No.3

<P><I>Background:</I> Biliary tract cancers (BTCs) are rare and heterogeneous group of tumors classified anatomically into intrahepatic and extrahepatic bile ducts and gallbladder adenocarcinomas. Patient-derived tumor cell (PDC) models with genome analysis can be a valuable platform to develop a method to overcome the clinical barrier on BTCs. <I>Material and Methods:</I> Between January 2012 and June 2015, 40 BTC patients’ samples were collected. PDCs were isolated and cultured from surgical specimens, biopsy tissues, or malignant effusions including ascites and pleural fluid. Genome analysis using targeted panel sequencing as well as digital multiplexed gene analysis was applied to PDCs as well as primary tumors. <I>Results:</I> Extrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (<I>N</I> = 15, 37.5%), intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (<I>N</I> = 10, 25.0%), gallbladder cancer (<I>N</I> = 14, 35.0%), and ampulla of Vater cancer (<I>N</I> = 1, 2.5%) were included. We identified 15 mutations with diverse genetic alterations in 19 cases of BTC from primary tumor specimens. The most common molecular alterations were in TP53 (8/19, 42.1%), including missense mutations such as C242Y, E285K, G112S, P19T, R148T, R248Q, and R273L. We also detected two NRAS mutations (G12C and Q61L), two KRAS mutations (G12A and G12S), two ERBB2 mutations (V777L and pM774delinsMA) and amplification, and three PIK3CA mutations (N345K, E545K, and E521K). PDC models were successfully established in 27 of 40 samples (67.5%), including 22/24 from body fluids (91.7%) and 5/16 from tissue specimens (31.3%). <I>Conclusions:</I> PDC models are promising tools for uncovering driver mutations and identifying rational therapeutic strategies in BTC. Application of this model is expected to inform clinical trials of drugs for molecular-based targeted therapy.</P>
