본 연구에서는 한인진으로부터 항염 및 항산화 활성이 뛰어난 추출물을 추출하기 위한 용매 및 추출법을 개발하여 최적의 추출 조건을 확인하였다. 증류수, 에탄올, 메탄올, 헥산 및 EA를 추출 용매로 한 초음파, 초고압 추출법과 초임계 추출법으로 추출을 한 후 NO 생성 저해 활성과 DPPH free radical 소거 활성을 비교 확인하였다. 그 결과 항염, 항산화 활성, 수율 및 안전성을 모두 고려하여 볼 때 에탄올 용매의 초음파 추출법이 가장 좋은 결과를 보였다. 이를 바탕으로 초음파 최적 추출 조건을 설정하기 위해 반응표면분석법(RSM)을 사용하여 연구한 결과, 수율의 최적 추출 조건은 에탄올 함량(45.71%), 추출 시간(63.33 min), 초음파 출력량(308.84 W)일 때, 15.85%의 가장 높은 수율을 보이는 것으로 예측되었고 실제 수율은 $16.40{\pm}0.28%$였다. 항염과 항산화 복합 활성의 최적 추출 조건은 에탄올 함량(94.54%), 추출 시간(90.00 min), 초음파 출력량(400.00 W)일 때, 각각 94.54%, 58.03%로 가장 높은 값을 보이는 것으로 예측되었고 실측검증에서 각각 $89.77{\pm}1.37%$, $60.12{\pm}0.39%$으로 예측 값과 유사한 결과를 보였다.

This study was conducted to find a solvent, a extraction method and optimized conditions for Artemisia iwayomogi extract. which is effective to anti-inflammatory and antioxidant activity. A. iwayomogi extract by distilled water, ethanol, methanol, hexane and ethyl acetate using ultrasonic, high-pressure and supercritical extraction was investigated for NO inhibitory and DPPH radical scavenging activity. Extract obtained by ethanol and ultrasonic extraction method showed high NO production inhibitory activity, DPPH free radical scavenging activity and yield. Response surface methodology (RSM) was applied to find a optimized ultrasonic extraction conditions. Results showed that the optimum conditions for the higher yield were ethanol solvent of 45.71% concentration with extraction time and ultrasonic power of 63.33min and 308.84 W, respectively. This condition predicted 15.85% yield, but real yield was $16.40{\pm}0.28%$. The optimum conditions for simultaneous anti-inflammatory and antioxidant activity were established as ethanol concentration (80.81%), extraction time (90.00 min) and ultrasonic power (400.00 W). NO production inhibitory and antioxidant activity were $89.77{\pm}1.37%$ and $60.12{\pm}0.39%$, respectively. These results showed similar to the predicted values of 94.54%, 58.03% respectively.

한국 정부의 주요 해외 공중 집단 중 하나는 해외에 거주하고 있는 재외동포로서 정부는 이들을 인적자원으로 인식하여 2000년대 초반부터 재외동포정책을 수립하여 해외에 거주하고 있는 동포 자녀들에게 민족주의 제고를 위해 한국어 교육지원 사업을 실시하였다. 본 연구에서는 교육지원사업의 대상인 재미한인들이 한국어 학교를 통해 현재까지 진행된 교육 지원 사업에 대한 경험에 의거한 생각과 효과를 탐색적 접근을 통해 살펴보았다. 연구 결과에 의하면 재미한인들에게는 한국어 학교 보다는 부모님이 가르쳐 준 한국 문화 및 가치 그리고 직접적인 한국 문화체험이 한국에 대한 긍정적 태도 및 한국 혈통으로서의 자부심을 형성하는데 더 큰 영향을 미친 것으로 나타났다. 또한 연구결과 참여자들은 본인들도 한국문화 및 언어를 더 배울 뿐 아니라 추후 자녀에게도 계승하고자 하였는데 이러한 동기부여는 전반적으로 세계 무대에서 한국의 위상이 높아지고 한국문화에 대한 평가가 향상되었기 때문인 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구는 앞으로 재미동포와의 관계발전을 위한 재외동포 정책 방향 및 차세대 재미한인들을 위한 문화 교류 프로그램을 제안하는데 의의가 있다.

Since Kim Dae-jung's administration, the Korean government has established policy for overseas Koreans to provide nationalism education to their descendants. While the policy is still in effect today, as to how the recipients of the support in the USA make meaning of the programs given much changes in the social climate in respect to Korean culture, has not been examined in-depth. Therefore, through in-depth interviews with Korean Americans, the current study examined how the recipients of the educational program perceive policy on education program towards Korean Americans and whether it has strengthened their nationalism or sentiment towards motherland. The study further examines the factors that influences their sentiments towards the motherland as identified by Korean Americans. The findings show that exposure to the culture and parents' teachings of the Korean values have helped them embrace Korean heritage. Moreover, findings revealed that their sense of Koreanness were due to positive memories from visits they had when they were young and changes in Korea's status in the global arena. Future direction of the policy and suggestion for specific programs for Korean Americans, as well as implications of the findings are discussed.

Objectives : Artemisia capillaris Thunberg (AC) and Artemisia iwayomogi Kitamura (AI) have been used without distinguishment since ancient times due to similar appearance. In this study, we compared the inhibitory effects of AC and AI on the expression of inflammatory cytokines induced by lipopolysaccharide (LPS) in murine macrophages. Methods : AC and AI were extracted by reflux with distilled water (DW) and 70% ethanol (EtOH). We investigated the inhibitory effects of AC and AI on the expression of nitric oxide (NO), inducible NO synthase (iNOS) and tumor necrosis $factor-{\alpha}$($TNF-{\alpha}$) induced by LPS in macrophages. Results : Firstly, yield of the samples was higher in order of Artemisia iwayomogi DW Extract (AID), Artemisia iwayomogi 70% EtOH Extract (AIE), Artemisia capillaris DW Extract (ACD) and Artemisia capillaris 70% EtOH Extract (ACE). All of the samples were not toxic in macrophages. The inhibitory effect of the samples on LPS-induced NO expression was stronger in the order of AIE, ACE, AID and ACD. The inhibitory effect of the samples on LPS-induced inducible iNOS expression was stronger in the order of AIE, ACE and AID. Effect of ACD was same with that of AID. In addition, inhibitory effect of the samples on LPS induced $TNF-{\alpha}$expression wes stronger in the order of AIE, ACE, AID and ACD. Conclusion: These results showed that AI would be more effective than AC and 70% EtOH would be more effective than DW as an extraction solvent in inflammatory diseases.

Previous studies have noted mothers' roles as active health information seekers, health managers, and caregivers for their family members. However, little is known about health information needs and seeking behaviors among Korean mothers of young children living in the United States. Using paper-based surveys, this study found that vaccination, child dental health, parenting, nutrition and diets, and physical exercise were ranked as the five most important health topics by the Korean mothers of young children aged 0 to 10 years old in this sample. Furthermore, this study revealed that mothers of boys evaluated the importance of two topics significantly higher than those of girls: circumcision (t=3.16, p < .01) and breastfeeding (t=2.47, p < .05). Also, age of child was an important factor influencing mothers' information needs in three health topics: child dental health (F=5.292, p < .01), physical exercise (F=7.107, p < .01), and child skin care (F=5.640, p < .01). Implications for developing health information services are also discussed.

Purpose: The purpose of this qualitative study was to explore the meaning of the experience of Korean immigrant nurses working in US hospitals. Methods: Purposive sampling yielded 15 Korean immigrant nurses who had more than one year of clinical experience in US hospitals. Data were collected from March to August 2012 through in-depth interviews and thematic analysis was conducted using van Manen's hermeneutic phenomenological approach. Results: The findings were classified into eight themes: 'struggling from staff at workplace being territorial to outsiders', 'feeling oppressed due to language barrier', 'accepting rational and horizontal relationships at work', 'staying alert in the environment where lawsuits are rife', 'feeling a sense of stability from the social system that values human dignity', 'maintaining self-confidence from prominent nursing practices and senior Korean nurses' professional reputation', 'performing essential comprehensive nursing care', 'promoting self-development to be equipped with professionalism.' Conclusion: The findings indicate that the Korean immigrant nurses were able to excel in their workplace when their clinical experience at US hospitals was combined with the lived space in US politics and environment, lived time of patience, lived body to be alert, and lived others with multi cultural characteristics.

본 연구의 목적은 재독 한인여성의 생애체험을 내부자적인 관점에서 분석함으로써, 이주여성의 고유성을 이해하는 것이다. 이에, 재독 한인여성 A씨의 생애사를 Rosenthal의 내러티브-생애사 연구방법에 따라 분석하였다. 그 결과, A씨의 생애는 자신을 "식민화" 하는 '다수자'의 표준적인 기준에 균열을 일으켜 '탈영토화' 하는 '노동자-되기', '이주자-되기', '여성-되기' 등의 '배치체'로 구성된 '노동이주여성-되기'의 과정으로, 이러한 '노동이주여성-되기'도 끊임없이 새롭게 또 다른 '배치체'로 구성된 '소수자-되기'의 유동적인 과정이며, '차이의 정치', '되기의 정치' 과정이기도 한 것으로 분석되었다. 이에, 이러한 연구결과에 의거해 사회복지실천에 시사하는 함의를 논의하였다.

The research intends to analyse the life experiences of a Korean woman in Germany from the insider's view. Biographical data of A are analysed using Rosenthal's narrative-biographical interviews methode. Findings show that the life of A is in the process of 'becoming-work migrant woman', who jolts and 'deterritorializes' standard criteria of 'majority', which her colonize. Furthermore is analysed, that the 'becoming-work migrant women' as the construction of assemblage of 'becoming-worker', 'becoming-migrant', 'becoming-woman' is the fluid process of 'becoming-minority', which constructs constantly another assemblage of them, and is also the 'politics of difference' and the 'politics of becoming'. Based on the research results, some implications for social welfare practice are suggested.

Purpose: This study was conducted to examine the differences in organizational commitment, nursing organization culture, and job satisfaction of Korean nurses employed in Korea and the United States, and to determine how these variables were associated with selected study characteristics. Methods: An exploratory cross-sectional study was performed with a convenience sample of 357 nurses from Korea and the U.S. Data were collected by using a web site survey and self-reported questionnaire. Descriptive statistics, t-tests, ANOVA, and Pearson's correlation coefficients were used for data analysis. Results: In comparison to Korean American nurses (KAN), Korean nurses (KN) were younger, single, worked more time, took a charge role or higher, and had less turnover experience. After controlling for age and marital status, nursing organization culture and job satisfaction of KN were significantly lower than those of KAN, respectively (F= -26.02, p<.001; F= -4.87, p=.028). Significant relationships among selected socio-demo-health and work-related characteristics and the three variables were higher for KN. Conclusion: Higher organizational commitment and nursing organization culture from all Korean nurses were related their perceived high level of job satisfaction. Recommendations for further study include exploring a larger sample size of a variety of different types of nursing organizations and staff as well.

This paper deals with architectural activities related to Korean society in Jichang district in North East China, focused on the articles of Manseon-ilbo published there during the Japanese colonial period. Construction-related contents in the area closely connected with topical interest, publicity, and enlightenment as a local media source provide positive grounds about pending issues in colonial situations. This paper handles with articles issued in the 1940's newspapers just before the Pacific War. At that time Japanese enter in the Chinese continent, and construct a stable basis in the intimate association with Germany and Italy, countering against the United State. Among articles regarding architecture, most of contents are based on healthcare and public facilities, and urban planning. Overwhelmingly the most popular articles are about new constructions of educational facilities and residential matters. The shortage of goods and the excessive concentration of population resulted in urban and house problems, which were particularly much more serious in Korea society. Such social atmosphere made all activities regarding building constructions, in particular educational facilities, in civil level rather than the helps of the Japanese colonial government. Thus, through education and house matters we can read a slice of Korean society to survive in the colonial environment of Jichang district.
