일송 김동삼과 국민대표회의

The Provisional Government of the Republic of Korea was born as a result of the March 1st Revolution in 1919. However, as various problems were revealed, a view to find a solution emerged. As a result, from January 3 to June 7, 1923, the National Representative Conference was held in Shanghai attended by 125 delegates. The two lines collided. Reformation theory that recognized the Provisional Government and extensive reforms, and Creationism that the Provisional Government should be dissolved and reorganized. Kim Dongsam, a reformist, was elected as the chairman, and Yoon Hae, a creationist, was elected as the vice-chairman.
 At the National Representative Conference, the Reform faction had a numerical superiority. However, the Creationists prevented the reform agenda from being adopted in a way that hindered the progress of the conference. On May 15, when Kim Dong-sam was recalled from Manchuria's West Road Military Administration and the Korean People's Club, which dispatched Kim Dong-sam, Kim Dong-sam resigned as chairman. Vice Chairman Yoon Hae became the chairman. On June 7, only the Creationists got together and passed a new constitution, but it was an agreement of their own faction. The Conference was held by the consensus of the entire nation, ended without any results. However, it was an event worthy of becoming a milestone in Korean democracy in that representatives of the entire nation gathered to discuss the future of the nation.

Linguistic analysis in public speaking: evidence from a Gavel Club for people with aphasia

ABSTRACT Public speaking has been described as one of the most daunting tasks one can engage in, even more so for people with aphasia (PWA). Gavel Clubs (affiliated with Toastmasters International) were established over 20 years ago for those who want to engage in public speaking but do not meet the eligibility criteria for Toastmasters membership. This study is the first of its kind to systematically evaluate changes in the speeches of PWA attending a weekly Gavel Club. The aims were to compare Table Topics (TT) and Prepared Speeches (PS) which are two different tasks regularly performed in a Gavel Club; to measure linguistic change over time in the two speech types; and to determine the feasibility of a discourse measure for analysing public speeches. Thirty-six speeches (four each from nine PWA) were audio-recorded, transcribed and analysed using the Linguistic Communication Measure (LCM). The nine participants represented a wide range of aphasia severity. Analysis revealed that engaging in weekly speaking activities in the GC was associated with an improvement in conveying content and in grammaticality through an increase in total number of words and number of correct words produced. The LCM is a comprehensive analysis tool but proved to be challenging in its speed and utility when measuring linguistic change in public speeches of PWA. Regular GC participation appears to facilitate improved language abilities, but we have yet to find the best tool to demonstrate this.

Gavel Club for people with aphasia: communication confidence and quality of communication life

ABSTRACTBackground: Many factors that contribute to successful living with aphasia intersect with the benefits one can get from attending an aphasia group. Affiliated with Toastmasters International, Gavel Clubs (GCs) for people with aphasia (PWA) provide a range of communication activities that promote public speaking and leadership skills. The constructs of communication confidence and quality of communication life (QCL) were introduced over a decade ago but have not been widely investigated.Aims: This study aims to investigate the association between weekly participation in GC public speaking activities for PWA and the constructs of QCL and communication confidence. In addition, the study aims to explore the association between the severity of aphasia, QCL and communication confidence.Methods & Procedures: Eight members of a GC for PWA, who attended 31–33 weekly GC meetings per year between 2012 and 2016, participated in assessments of their QCL (using the ASHA Quality of Communication Life (ASHA QCL)), communication confidence (using the Communication Confidence Rating Scale for Aphasia (CCRSA)), and aphasia severity (using the Western Aphasia Battery-Revised (WAB-R)). A link was sought between severity of aphasia and the constructs of QCL and communication confidence.Outcomes & Results: QCL improved significantly over four years of participation in the GC (Z = 2.103, n = 8, p = .035, r = .74). Communication confidence also improved significantly (Z = 1.973, p = .049, r = .70). No associations were found between the two scales or between the scales and severity of aphasia.Conclusions: Weekly participation in GC group activities was associated with improved QCL, as measured by the ASHA QCL, and improved communication confidence as measured by the CCRSA. Decision-making (measured by the CCRSA) and the Roles and Responsibilities domain (in the ASHA QCL) also improved. More research is needed to verify these findings using a study design that includes a control group, to identify the links between the various psychosocial aspects at play in the life of PWA and to conceptualise how the gains achieved with GC participation can be applied more broadly to successful living with aphasia.

Correlates of Physical Activity Among People With Disabilities in South Korea: A Multilevel Modeling Approach.

The purpose of this study was to examine the correlates of physical activity (PA) with personal and environmental factors among people with disabilities in South Korea. Data from the 2011 National Survey for Physical Activity and Exercise for the Disabled, conducted by Korea Sports Association for the Disabled, was used (n = 1478). The personal characteristics (age, gender, occupation, types of disabilities, family income) and the numbers of public PA-related facilities (welfare center, public indoor gym, and public outdoor facilities) and social sports/exercise clubs for people with disabilities across 16 local areas were also obtained. Hierarchical generalized linear model was used to examine subjectively measured PA in relation to personal and environmental factors. The likelihood of engaging in PA was significantly lower for women with disabilities. People with hearing and intellectual disabilities were less likely to engage in PA compared with those with physical disabilities. The availability of sports/exercise clubs for people with disabilities was the only environmental factor that was significantly associated with PA. These findings suggest the need of systematic intervention strategies based upon personal characteristics of people with disabilities. Further public efforts to promote sports/exercise club activities should be encouraged in this population.

Body, disability, and stigma in the origins of the field of adapted sport in the city of Buenos Aires, 1950-1961: a mere interiorization of a devalued identity?

Although adapted sport is considered the main integrator of people with disabilities, Disability Studies argues that it reinforces the oppression suffered by this group. However, these positions do not historically reconstruct the ethos constructed in sport. In order to contribute to this discussion, I analyze here the ways of thinking about and experiencing disability that were constructed in the origins of the field of adapted sport, in the city of Buenos Aires, from 1950 to 1961. Thus, I begin by analyzing the content of publications of the first clubs for people with disabilities and in-depth interviews with protagonists of the origins of adapted sport and local physiatry.

George Henry Hewes and the Neighborhood Settlement in Los Angeles

Sunday, February 6, 1898, a mass meeting was held at the Los Angeles Theater on South Spring Street in downtown Los Angeles, The theater was crowded to the roof ' for the meeting, which was sponsored by the Union Reform League, a newly formed umbrella organization of the city's reform movements, W.D.P. Bliss, who had founded the Union Reform League in San Francisco the previous year, had been invited to Los Angeles by the People's Club of St. Paul's Episcopal Church to lecture on the subject of Christian Socialism. Several prominent members of the reform and radical movements in Los Angeles, including Bishop Joseph Horsfall Johnson of the Episcopal Diocese, were interested in Christian Socialism, the belief that the goals of Christianity and socialism were identical. To emphasize the ecumenical nature of the Christian Socialist movement, the speakers who shared the platform with Bliss at the meeting included Rabbi Moses Solomon of Congregation B'nai B'rith, Reverend Burt Estes Howard of Westminster Presbyterian Church, the Right Reverend George Montgomery, Roman Catholic Bishop of Monterey-Los Angeles, and the Reverend John Gray, Rector of St. Paul's, the city's most socially prominent Episcopal church. Also on the program was George Henry Hewes, pastor of the Church of the Neighborhood, who was not socially prominent and probably not an ordained minister. Hewes was to speak that day, according to the Los Angeles Heralďs account of the meeting, representing the wage earners and the working class.1

Developing Independence: The experience of the Lawnmowers Theatre Company

This paper describes an action research project in which the Lawnmowers Theatre Company (a company of performers with learning disabilities) mounted drama clubs and a series of night clubs for people with learning disabilities. The objective of the project was to demonstrate that initiatives involving what might loosely be called 'drama' offer important opportunities for adult education and that night clubs for people with learning disabilities can be effective in providing new opportunities for social contact and also recognition for disability arts. All of these factors, it is argued, are important if people with learning disabilities are to be taken seriously as capable, interesting individuals with something useful to say. The project found high levels of participation and a range of skills acquisition.

It Could be You—But Would it be Fair?

Every Saturday, and every Wednesday, millions of people club together and give millions of pounds to a few people. The beneficiaries are not selected for their achievements, efforts, or personal qualities. They might be the most unsuccessful, lazy, and unpleasant of all the players; when there's a hint of this, the tabloids enjoy themselves, but the winner keeps her money. Nor are the winners given the money because they are most in need. They might easily be richer than many of the other players, even before collecting their prizes  there's nothing to stop the Duke of Westminster having a flutter. This can seem like a very unfair way of distributing money. But the players buy their tickets through choice, and even the losers benefit from the excitement of playing: perhaps it's just harmless fun.

Self-defeating anxiety explored: The contribution of terror management theory and rational-emotive therapy

Abstract The aim of the present paper is to explore the contribution of Terror Management Theory (TMT) and Rational-Emotive Therapy (RET) to the explanation of severe self-defeating anxiety. Following a theoretical outline, three cardinal constructs are identified and their contribution examined in two separate empirical studies. Study 1 included 109 members of self-help clubs for people with severe anxiety problems. As expected, irrational standards and self-focused attention were concomitants of anxiety as well as independent contributors (multiple R=.714) in the prediction of anxiety. No significant interaction effect was observed. Study 2 included 36 women with severe anxiety problems, volunteering for a program in assertiveness training. As expected, self-focused attention, irrational standards and coping incapability here contributed independently (multiple R=.776) to the prediction of anxiety before entering the program. Following the program, expected decreases were observed both in irrational sta...

農村地区高齢者の日常生活におけるゲートボールと生活特性について

The purpose of this study is to assess the significance of gate ball playing on the health and daily life of the elderly persons. The subjects were members of an old people's club in Tokushima prefecture. They were 92 persons playing gateball (55 males and 37 females) and 289 persons not playing gate ball (117 males and 172 females). We surveyed their health conditions, life styles and daily activities, and compared them between the group playing gate ball (GB group) and the group not playing gate ball (n-GB group). The results were as follows: 1. The number of males in the GB group was much more than that in the n-GB group. However, there was no significant difference in age. 2. The number of subjects visiting a physician in the GB group was more than that in the n-GB group, though GB group was feeling more healthy. However, the number of persons handicapped in activities of daily life were smaller in the GB group. In particular, the proportion of females subjectively feeling healthy was higher in GB group. 3. The mean obesity index and the ratio of the subjects whose obesity indexes were 20% and over were higher in the GB group than in the n-GB group. However, the mean red blood cell count, hemoglobin and hematocrit were higher, but the average of blood pressure was lower in the GB group than in the n-GB group. 4. Number of subjects participating social activities and leading useful life were significantly more in the GB group than in the n-GB group. We found that the subjects from GB group tended to be more active and leading a more useful life than those from the n-GB group.

“That's what it's all about”: Old people's organizations as a context for aging

Old people who join age-segregated organizations have several advantages over their peers. They start with additional personal resources—physical, social, emotional, and material. Through association with peers they are able in addition to confront age-related losses in a supportive setting. The old people's clubs and Christian fellowships that provide a focus for this anthropological study are viewed as sources of social integration; vehicles for the expression of generational consciousness; arenas for the acquisiton of virtue; and contexts for the activities of friendship. Questions are raised finally about the theoretical implications of peer-grouping in old age. The cultivation of generational distinctiveness is seen as both a cause of and response to age segregation.

Health Behavior of the Old after the Annual Health Examination

After the annual health examination provided by a city was carried out in 1973, author made an interview survey on recognition of health and ill health, attitude towards health examination, and action taken for ninety of 60 years old and over, who were classified as to need medical care, living in Koza City of Okinawa. The results were as follows: 1. Although they were diagnosed as to need medical care, 81.1 per cent were diagnosed themselves as to be normal state of health, and had recognized their health and ill health subjectively and sensuously. 2. One third had recognized their disease at first at the annual health examination, but 23.3 per cent were aware of it nine years and over before. It shows that diseases of the old are trending in general towards long term and stability. 3. Their attitude towards the examination were mostly passive and had health examination at the nearest clinics geographically. 4. Of those who were directed medical care were classified into two groups; one who needs treatment at clinics or hospitals and another who were required health care at home. Fifty per cent of those who were directed treatment at clinics were under medical care in fact, but the rest had discountinued or no medical care at all. 5. Members of the old people's club, a nation-wide organization, had mostly discontinued medical care as compared with non members. But it seems to be only statistical differnce and not to be a true significance. 6. Main reasons of discontinuance of treatment or no medical care were due to disappearance or improvement of subjective symptoms. It shows that the old has diagnosed their state of health themselves on the basis of the subjective and sensuous reality. 7. Since the present annual health examination service for the old provided by each municipality results only in the scteening of diseases, it must be developed into the comprehensive health care service in order to meet actual needs of the old. 8. Of the current classification of the result of the examination as normal, need close examination, and need medical care, the last item covers a wide area and therefore it needs more practical classification for following health care programs for the old.
