Can we implant an artist community? A reflection on government-led cultural districts in Korea

This paper aims to broaden knowledge on policy governance of cultural districts, particularly those utilizing artist communities for urban revitalization. With the rise of the cultural economy in post-industrial cities in South Korea, cultural strategies have become key components in almost every urban regeneration project. The tactic of encouraging groups of community artists to work and live in distressed neighborhoods has been regarded as a low-budget and easy-to-implement tool for urban revitalization. Over the past few years, however, these strategies have failed to meet expectations and have often resulted in conflicts between artists and the government. To understand the factors behind the strategies' positive and negative consequences, this paper examines three projects with different degrees of government intervention: the Totatoga project in Busan City, the Daein Art Market project in Gwangju City, and the Changdong Art Village project in Changwon City. The analysis focuses on the mode of government intervention in the relationships among the government, artists, intermediary agencies, and local citizens. By putting the mode of government intervention in the context of social relations of related players in the cultural districts, this paper tries to understand how similar policy schemes created different consequences.

Cost allocation of river water quality management based on the Separable Cost Remaining Benefit (SCRB) method

This paper presents a cost allocation method that applies the cooperative game theory and the Separable Costs Remaining Benefit method to a project that involves two local governments in water quality management in South Korea. The total project cost was estimated by using a parametric estimation method for reduction loads in accordance with the Total Pollution Load Management system. As a result, the cost allocation ratios between the City of Gwangju and Jeonnam Province are suggested to be 69.85% and 30.15% of the total project cost. The final cost allocation confirms the benefits to both governments and illustrates the cooperative game theory.

LC-MS/MS를 이용한 소시지 중 보존료 동시분석

A simultaneous determination method was developed for nine preservatives (benzoic acid, sorbic acid, dehydroacetic acid, methyl-, ethyl-, isopropyl-, propyl-, isobutyl- and butyl-parabens) in sausage by liquid chromatography with electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometry (LC/ESI-MS/MS). Each parameter was established by multiple reaction monitoring in negative mode. Separation was achieved on a phenyl-hexyl (<TEX>$2.5{\mu}m$</TEX>, <TEX>$2.1{\times}150mm$</TEX>, Waters) with A-20 mM ammonium acetate containing 0.1% acetic acid in water, B-Acetonitrile as mobile phase with gradient mode at a flow rate of 0.3 mL/min. The developed method was validated for specificity, linearity, accuracy and precision in sausages samples. Linearity was over 0.998 with calibration curve of the mixed standards. The mean recoveries from sausages fortified at the level of 2.0~10.0 mg/L were in range of 98.60~109.16% with RSDs lower than 8.93%. The limits of detection (LOD) and the limits of quantification (LOQ) were in the range between 0.0003~0.085 mg/L and 0.01~0.257 mg/L, respectively. Intra-day precision and inter-day precision were 0.45~6.16% and 2.81~13.33%, respectively. Using presently developed determination method, 33 field sausage samples from Gwangju city in Korea were screened over nine preservatives. As a result, no preservatives were detected in all samples.

Relationship Between Stress, Self-efficacy and Resilience among Nursing Students

간호대학생의 스트레스를 감소시키고 대학생활 적응을 도울 수 있는 전략을 개발하는데 필요한 기초자료를 제공하기 위해 시도한 연구이다. 일반적인 특성에 따른 스트레스, 자기효능감과 극복력의 정도를 알아보았고, 이들 간의 상관관계를 파악하였다. 그 결과 스트레스는 건강상태, 전공만족도, 임상실습 만족도 정도에 따라 영향을 받았으며 극복력은 건강상태, 간호학과 선택동기, 대인관계, 성격성향, 전공만족도에 따라 영향을 받는 것으로 나타났으며, 스트레스 수준이 증가하면 극복력이 감소하고, 반대로 스트레스 수준이 감소하면 극복력이 증가하고, 자기효능감이 증가하면 극복력도 증가하고, 자기효능감이 감소하면 극복력도 감소하는 결과를 나타냄을 확인할 수 있었다. 따라서, 간호대학생의 스트레스를 해결하고 보다 나은 대학생활 적응을 위해 간호대학생의 교육과 관리를 담당하는 관련 기관의 관심이 우선적으로 필요하다. 더불어 간호대학생을 보호하는 사회적인 지지망이 체계적으로 형성된다면 자기효능감 향상은 물론 극복력 향상에 도움을 주어 간호대학생의 삶의 질이 높아짐은 물론 간호전문직 정착에 한층 더 높이는데 일조를 할 수 있을 것이다.
