A scenography approach is adopted to reveal the place of Jeju and which is recognized as an approach for inducing specific reactions from an audience, specifically focusing nature and cultural heritage, as a framework for analysis. Through this, we compare the difference in the way Yeosu and Gangneung reveal the space of place and the audience, and we investigate whether these places have succeeded in establishing themselves in the context of site-specific art with the potential to transform the region. Through this, it is intended that we can learn more deeply about the effect of local culture in the case of the successful mobilization of audiences, specifically while utilizing local nature and heritage of interest to locals.

The value growth of Li Bing’s Cultural IP is critical for enhancing its cultural influence, assisting cultural development and inheritance, and enhancing the overall effect of local culture and urban ranking. In the new media period, IP value creation is inextricably linked to the discovery of youth subcultures generated by youth groups, who are the primary consumers of internet material. Referring to Herbertig’s classical theory, after discussing the style construction of Li Bing’s Cultural IP from the perspective of Internet youth subculture from collage, isomorphism, and ideographic practice, for example, through the misappropriation and meaning reconstruction of network elements, the organic combination and resonance strengthening of differentiated symbols between traditional culture and subculture, and the creation of as many audience perceptions and participation channels as possible for Li Bing’s cultural IP, to provide practical space for the expression of meaning, we can realize the style of Li Bing’s Cultural IP adapting to Internet ecology, enhance its recognition and Internet ecological integration, and realize the value upgrade of IP.

Effects of Local Culture and Teacher Efficacy on Teacher Enactment of Curriculum Reform in South Korea

Guided by social cognitive theory (SCT), this research investigates the structural relationships among local culture, teacher efficacy, and teachers’ exercise of curricular autonomy.

The results indicate that teachers’ degree of internalization of mainstream Korean culture and teacher efficacy influence their implementation of the reform agenda, while teacher efficacy mediates the effect of culture. Theoretical and practical implications for scholars, policy-makers, and practitioners are provided.

Color naming for the Persian language

AbstractAccording to Berlin and Kay, there is a set of 11 universal basic color terms: White, Black, Red, Green, Yellow, Blue, Brown, Purple, Pink, Orange, and Gray. To approve this, a world survey (WCS) was begun to gather data on color categorization through the world, although, despite many languages, Persian language has not been studied so far. We report a study of color naming in Iran. A study was carried out in six major cities including: Tehran, Isfahan, Mashhad, Yazd, Rasht, and Shiraz to investigate the color naming for Persian language and also the effect of local culture. The main purpose of this study was to describe the basic color terms of Persian language and to verify Berlin and Kay's theory. In total, 200 subjects were studied from all the six cities. Our results showed that there were the same basic color terms (as Berlin and Kay's theory) in Persian language overall including:“ (White) ”,“ (Black) ”, “ (Red) ”, “ (Green) ”, “ (Yellow) ”, “ (Blue) ”, “ (Brown) ”, “ (Purple) ”, “ (Pink) ”, “ (Orange), ” and “ (Gray) ”. However, this was not valid for all the cities when they were investigated individually. There were 10 basic terms in Mashhad and Shiraz while the other cities had 11 basic terms. Also, the set of the used terms would differ by the city. © 2014 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Col Res Appl, 40, 352–360, 2015

Low Primary Cesarean Rate and High VBAC Rate With Good Outcomes in an Amish Birthing Center

Recent national guidelines encourage a trial of labor after cesarean (TOLAC) as a means of increasing vaginal births after cesarean (VBACs) and decreasing the high US cesarean birth rate and its consequences (2010 National Institute of Health Consensus Statement and American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists revised guideline). A birthing center serving Amish women in Southwestern Wisconsin offered an opportunity to look at the effects of local culture and practices that support vaginal birth and TOLAC. This study describes childbirth and perinatal outcomes during a 17-year period in LaFarge, Wisconsin. We undertook a retrospective analysis of the records of all women admitted to the birth center in labor. Main outcome measures include rates of cesarean deliveries, TOLAC and VBAC deliveries, and perinatal outcomes for 927 deliveries between 1993 and 2010. The cesarean rate was 4% (35 of 927), the TOLAC rate was 100%, and the VBAC rate was 95% (88 of 92). There were no cases of uterine rupture and no maternal deaths. The neonatal death rate of 5.4 of 1,000 was comparable to that of Wisconsin (4.6 of 1,000) and the United States (4.5 of 1,000). Both the culture of the population served and a number of factors relating to the management of labor at the birthing center have affected the rates of cesarean delivery and TOLAC. The results of the LaFarge Amish study support a low-technology approach to delivery where good outcomes are achieved with low cesarean and high VBAC rates.

How Has a Chinese Village Remained Catholic? Catholicism and local culture in a northern Chinese village

This article investigates the relationship between local culture and the inculturation of Catholicism in a northern Chinese village. Little research has been conducted on the effect of local culture on the continuation of Catholicism in China. Based on my ethnographic and archival research on a Catholic village and on a neighboring non-Catholic village in northern China, the findings of this research suggest that local culture is the underlying factor for the continuation of Catholicism. Differentiated life-cycle rituals in the Catholic village from those of the non-Catholic village, a combination of Catholic belief with fengshui, local religion and local cultural symbols have been used as effective means to carry on Catholicism. This article helps explain why hundreds of Catholic villages in northern China have kept their Catholic identity for generations, and why the underground church in China could survive, but the generalization of the findings requires more and diverse cases.
