Objectives : To evaluate the long-term survival effects of traditional Korean medicine (TKM) on refractory metastatic lung cancer and small cell lung cancer (SCLC), which have historically poor survival rates. Methods : A retrospective study was conducted using the medical records of two patients in Daejeon University hospital. The first patient, with SCLC, was treated from January 2000 to December 2009 and the other, with metastatic pulmonary cancer from primary hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), was treated from September 2004 to February 2014. The patients were treated with herbal medicines at one-month intervals. During hospitalization, acupuncture and indirect moxibustion were performed concurrent with the administration of Western therapy. Treatment efficacy was assessed monthly using chest radiography, chest computed tomography, and laboratory examination data, and by measuring patient performance status. Results : Both patients exhibited a stable disease course for more than 9 years after the initial diagnosis of intractable lung cancer, suggesting that their disease status was controlled by TKM. Conclusions : We suggest that a combination of TKM with conventional Western therapy for refractory lung cancer patients is effective in controlling various symptoms related to lung cancer and improving quality of life, and may potentially prolong overall survival.

내용기반 영상검색(CBIR)에서 보다 효율적이고 빠른 영상검색을 위하여 본 논문에서는 칼라 히스토그램 정제를 이용한 특징벡터 기반 영상검색 알고리즘을 제안한다. RGB 칼라 이미지에서 각각의 R, G, B를 분할하고 히스토그램을 추출하여 16개의 영역(bin)으로 균일하게 분할한 다음 R, G, B 각각의 히스토그램에서 영역의 픽셀값을 계산하여 비교, 분석하고 그중 최고값을 추출한다. 그리고 R, G, B 각각의 영역의 최고값들을 이용하여 칼라 정보를 인덱스화한 후 그 특징값을 이용한 영상 검색 기술을 수행한다. 본 논문에서 제안한 알고리즘은 효과적인 특징 추출을 위하 여 각각의 R, G, B에서 추출 된 특징값을 특징벡터 테이블로 구성하여 입력 영상과 데이터베이스 영상을 비교하고 매 칭도와 순위를 구하여 기존의 히스토그램만을 이용한 알고리즘 보다 더 나은 검색 결과를 확인하였다. This paper presents an image retrieval algorithm based on feature vector using color of histogram refinement for a faster and more efficient search in the process of content based image retrieval. First, we segment each of R, G, and B images from RGB color image and extract their respective histograms. Secondly, these histograms of individual R, G and B are divided into sixteen of bins each. Finally, we extract the maximum pixel values in each bins' histogram, which are calculated, compared and analyzed, Now, we can perform image retrieval technique using these maximum pixel value. Hence, the proposed algorithm of this paper effectively extracts features by comparing input and database images, making features from R, G and B into a feature vector table, and prove a batter searching performance than the current algorithm that uses histogram matching and ranks, only.

행위의 도덕적 가치에 대한 칸트의 입장

강지영(Kang, Ji Young) 서울대학교 철학사상연구소 2015 철학사상 Vol.55 No.-

Kant’s position that only actions done not from the motive of inclination but from the motive of duty alone has moral worth (GMS IV: 397-9; KpV V: 80-1) has been interpreted by scholars to yield a counter-intuitive implication that, in order to perform a morally worthy action, one must act as a cold-hearted person. I propose to defend Kant’s view on the moral worth of actions by clarifying his model of motivation in rational agents. Supplementing the theory of effective motive of B.Herman with the “incorporation thesis” of H. E. Allison, I try to show that a naturally compassionate agent can be said to perform a morally worthy action without abandoning his compassion. In this paper, I reveal the structures of action done from inclination and those of action done from a sense of duty through the examination of the text in Groundwork of the Metaphysics of Morals where Kant’s view of the moral worth of actions is presented. Next, I clarify the basic notions ? the will and the maxim ? which are necessary to understand the model of rational action in Kant, and examine the maxim’s relationship to the motive of action. Then I explain what the incorporation thesis is by examining a passage in Religion within the Boundaries of Mere Reason where that thesis is presented. Finally, I try to show how a naturally compassionate agent, using the model from the incorporation thesis, can help other people from a sense of duty without abandoning his compassion.

이성적 행위자는 자기 행위의 동기를 알 수 없는가?: ‘불투명성 테제’에 대한 비판적 검토

강지영 ( Kang Ji Young ) 한국칸트학회 2021 칸트연구 Vol.47 No.-

In Kants Werken der praktischen Philosophie finden sich viele Textstellen, in denen sich die folgende Auffassung unterstützen lässt: ein vernünftiger Akteur das Motiv für Handlungen (nicht nur für die Handlungen anderer, sondern auch für seine eigenen Handlungen) nicht wissen kann. Seitdem diese Auffassung von Owen Ware thesenartig als “Opazitätsthese”(Abkürzung: ‘OT’) bezeichnet wird, verweisen viele Forscher darauf, dass sich mehrere Probleme in der Kantischen Ethik ergeben, wenn die ‘OT’ richtig ist: weil der moralische Wert einer Handlung nur nach ihrem Motiv beurteilt wird, können wir also den moralischen Wert einer Handlung in einer bestimmten Situation nicht beurteilen, wenn ‘OT’ für stichhaltig gilt. Und da ein Handelnder zur Führung einiger kantischen Tugendpflichten den Beweggrund der einschlägigen Handlung wissen muss, er kann diese Tugendpflichten nicht erfüllen, wenn ‘OT’ recht ist. In dieser problematischen Situation stimmten viele Forscher der Ansicht zu, dass ein vernünftiger Akteur die Motive der Handlungen anderer nicht wissen kann, aber nicht der Ansicht, der zufolge er kein Motiv seiner eigenen Handlung wissen kann. Vor diesem Hintergrund wird in diesem Beitrag die Frage beantwortet, ob ein rationaler Akteur die Motivation seines eigenen Handelns tatsächlich nicht wissen kann. Um diese Frage zu beantworten, werde ich zunächst die zur Frage kommenden Textstellen aus Kants Werke analysieren und untersuchen. Durch die eingehende Erläuterung der einschlägigen Textstellen wird die Plausibilität von Bergs Auffassung geprüft werden. Dabei wird es deutlich, dass nach Kants Ansicht ein vernünftiger Handelnder die Motive für seine eigene Handlung nicht wissen kann. Damit bleiben jedoch wieder die oben genannten Probleme: ein Akteur kann nicht beurteilen, ob sein Handeln wirklich moralisch ist, und es ist für ihm auch unmöglich, seinen eigenen moralischen Status zu beurteilen. Anstatt Lösungen für jede dieser problematischen Situationen vorzuschlagen, werde ich zeigen, dass diese Problematik selbst die Charakteristik der Kantischen Ethik widerspiegelt, deren Aufmerksamkeit sich insbesondere auf diejenige praktischen Prinzipien richtet, nach welcher die Handlungen in praktischen Überlegungen zu leiten sind, anstatt auf diejenige, nach welcher die Moralität der vergangenen Handlungen zu evaluieren ist.

칸트의 “이성의 사실Faktum der Vernunft”의 의미와 역할

강지영 ( Kang Ji Young ) 한국칸트학회 2022 칸트연구 Vol.49 No.-

The purpose of this article is to clarify the meaning and role of Kant’s “Faktum der Vernunft”: 1) What does the word 'Faktum' mean in the expression ‘Faktum der Vernunft’? 2) How should we interpret the genetive in the expression ‘Faktum der Vernunft’? 3) Does this Faktum-thesis play a role in the argumentation of Critique of Practical Reason? By answering these three questions, I tried to clearly define the meaning and role of “Faktum der Vernunft”. For the first question, the word ‘Faktum’ can mean both fact and action, but its fundamental meaning relates to action. Regarding the second question, I concluded that practical reason acts as an author or practical reason has certain fact. In addressing the third question, I concluded that the “fact of reason” does not serve as a proof of the validity of the moral law and it functions only as an additional explanation. The characteristic of the “fact of reason” is that it is created by pure practical reason to oppose the inclinations and defend the duty whenever in conflict. The fact “created” by “act of reason” is not one that exists independently from and could be recognized by the human subject as a physical situation. The fact “created” by “act of reason” can rather be said to occur only when the agent makes a moral judgment. In this regard, the “fact of reason” is a fact that exists by virtue of a rational being’s self-realization.

Female plays an important role in new welfare policies as emerging new social risks including care needs resulted from increasing female employment participation and changes in family structures. Whereas the effects of work and life reconciliation policies on female employment are well established, less is known for the role of production regime as an important institution on gender wage gap. This study examines the questions in what way and to what extent production regimes and work and family reconciliation policies influence gender wage gap in advanced capitalism countries using the Luxembourg Income Study (LIS). The coordinated market economies (CMEs), presented as higher firm-specific skills, are associated with lower income rank for female workers than male workers, hence larger degree of gender wage gap. Longer parental leave weeks and higher childcare expenditures are associated with less degree of gender wage gap. This research highlights the importance of production regimes in understanding gender wage gap and potential interaction between production regimes and work and life reconciliation policies on gender wage gap.

Hypertriglyceridemia-induced pancreatitis is a rare, but serious, complication of pregnancy. We report a case of acute pancreatitis associated with type V hyperlipoproteinemia in pregnancy. A 36-year-old primigravida was admitted at 16 weeks of gestation with severe abdominal pain. Chemical analysis showed high serum pancreatic enzymes and very high serum triglyceride. Abdominal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed diffuse swelling of the pancreas and a peripancreatic fluid collection. A diagnosis of acute pancreatitis with type V hyperlipoproteinemia was made. She recovered from the acute pancreatitis with conservative management and the serum triglyceride decreased rapidly with dietary restriction of fat, insulin/glucose, fenofibrate, and omega-3. We review the management of hypertriglyceridemia-induced acute pancreatitis in pregnancy. (Korean J Med 77:104-108, 2009)
