The purpose of this s tudy is to analyz e the COVID-19 political discourse from the perspective of critical discourse analysis, to identify what linguistic strategies politicians use to reveal their position and ideologies, and how the social and political situations are reflected in their discourse. The data consist of speeches made by Donald Trump, the former U.S. president, and Andrew Cuomo, the governor of New York, in terms of text, discourse practice, and sociocultural practice using Fairclough’s 3D model. The findings show that the two politicians used terms that separate ‘us-group’ and ‘them-group’, while showing differences in specific vocabulary choices and discourse composition strategies. Trump tended to use positive self-presentation, optimistic expressions, and focused on economic policies, while Cuomo tended to use objective figures, emphasize seriousness, and focus on prevention policies. This forms the way the public perceives society, and conversely, social situations such as racial discrimination and hate issues also affect and interact with discourse strategies.
Objective & Methord : The aim of this study is to examine the effects of indirect moxibustion at the PC6(Naegwan) on normal human beings using power spectrum analysis. Electroencephalogram(EEG) power spectrum exhibits site-specific and state-related differences in various frequency bands. 8 channels EEG study was carried out in 10 subjects(3 females and 2 males). Result : Average value of alpha-wave is decreased significantly in moxa treatment group of real acupoint(PC6) comparing 'before' and 'during' , 'before' and 'after' of the experiment. In non-acupoint(near LU5) group, Average value of alpha-wave is decreased significantly comparing 'during' and 'after'. Alpha value of Both group was decreased according to the degree and the difference is rapid in 'during' - 'after' block. Compare the treat of real acupoint with non-acupoint, there was non significant difference. Conclusion: These results suggested that moxa treatment can revitalize normal human and the influence moxa treatment is more powerful then acupoint-nature. For these reason, usage of substitute moxa for acupuncture is not reasonable.
