This paper investigates key discursive practices constructed in English language teaching (ELT) in Korea and calls for the necessity of ‘criticality’ in theorizing, researching, and pedagogical practices. Utilizing a new qualitative research orientation of ‘bricolage’ (Denzin & Lincoln, 2005; Kincheloe, 2004) and critical discourse analysis (CDA; Fairclough, 1995), this paper engages in multi-methods of collecting, analyzing, and interpreting the data. More specifically, some current issues related to ELT in Korea are juxtaposed critically with various historical, political, sociocultural, and economical factors. This is to investigate how these factors influence the formation of discursive practices regarding the NS-NNS dichotomy and ownership of English, teaching English for practicality, relationships between language, culture, and power, and neutralizing and depoliticizing key concepts in ELT. This paper suggests that ELT in Korea is a site in which multiple discourses are contesting to delineate particular ways of teaching and learning. Accordingly, this paper argues that ELT practitioners should be aware of the role of English as symbolic power and understand what is implicated in current discursive practices in ELT in order to possibly engage in more progressive pedagogy in line with Freirian consciousness-raising or problematizing practices for Korean learners of English.

It is desirable to have an accurate expression on the temperature dependence of surface(or interfacial) tension Σ, because most of the interfacial thermodynamic functions can be derived from it. There have been proposed several equations on the temperature dependence of the surface tension, Σ(T). Among them Eotvos equation and the one modified by Katayama, which is called Katayama equation, for improving accuracies of Eotvos equation close to critical points, have been most well-known. In this article Katayama equation is interpreted on the basis of the cell model to understand the nature of the equation. The cell model results in an expression very similar to Katayama equation. This implies that, although Eotvos and Katayama equations were obtained on the basis of experimental results, they have a sound theoretical background. The Katayama equation is also modified with the phase volume replaced with a critical scaling expression. The modified Katayama equation becomes a power-law equation with the exponent slightly different from the value obtained by critical-scaling theory. This implies that Katayama equation can be replaced by a critical-scaling equation which is proven to be accurate.

It is well known that the imbalance between epithelial cell growth and inhibitor factors may cause human epithelial cancer. Over-expression of the epidermal growth factor receptor(EGFR) has been implicated in the development of oral squamous cell carcinoma. ZD1839 inhibits selectively the EGFR tyrosine kinase activity and is clinically used for cancer patients. However the mechanisms by which it exerts its anti-tumor activity remains unclear. This study attempted to determine the mechanisms underlying the effects of ZD1839 on the cellular level and to characterize the effects of ZD1839 with regard to human oral squamous cell carcinoma(OSCC) cell growth. The YD-10B and YD-38 cell lines established from OSCC in the department of Oral Pathology, Yonsei University College of Dentistry and ZD1839(Iressa) were used for this study. The inhibition of cell proliferation induced by ZD1839 was reversible and the lowest dose of ZD1839 that produced statistically significant growth inhibition in YD cell lines were 0.1 μM. The delay in cell cycle progression was induced by 0.1 μM of ZD1839 treatment after 24 hr. This reduction in cell proliferation and cell cycle delay were associated with up-regulation of the cyclin dependent kinase inhibitor(CDKI), P21CIP1/WAF1 and P27KIP1. Reduced expression of cyclin D1 was also observed after treatment with ZD 1839 to YD-38 cells but not to YD-38. The present results suggest that the antiproliferative effects of ZD1839, in vitro was associated with degradation of cyclin D1, which may be used as a possible indicator of a high cell sensitivity to ZD1839.

Colin Rowe's 'Transparency' is one of core ideas applied to 20th Modern Architecture. It implies not only an optical characteristic, the perfectly clear, but also a broader spacial order, a simultaneous perception of different spacial locations. The former connected with physical attribute itself, and the latter deeply with the metaphorical idea of time, 'Simultaneity', embodying a new spacial quality. However, If we analyze the meaning of "Simultaneity" implicated in "Transparency" with the perspective of Henry Bergson's "Duration", there would be only little possibility as a solution to the problem of embodying a new spacial quality in architecture. As such a question emerging, this paper attempts to point out the problem of Colin Rowe's idea, "Simultaneity", and suggest a new architectural design method to overcome its inconsistency by interpretation and application of Bergson's "Image and Rhythm".

이 논문은 일단고정 타단스프링으로 지지된 변단면 Beck 기둥의 임계하중에 관한 연구이다. 기둥의 변단면을 중실 직사각형 단면을 갖는 선형 변단면으로 채택하고, Bernoulli-Euler보 이론을 이용하여 경사종동력이 작용하는 소위 Beck 기둥의 자유진동을 지배하는 상미분방정식과 경계조건을 유도하였다. 이 미분방정식을 수치해석하여 하중-고유진동수 곡선을 얻고 이로부터 발산임계하중 및 동요임계하중을 산출하였다. 수치해석의 결과로부터 변단면 형태, 경사변수 및 스프링 강성이 임계하중에 미치는 영향을 고찰하였다

Companies adopted a program called Six Sigma, in order to make fundamental changes in the way the company operated to fulfill customers' expectations. Six Sigma reduces the occurrence of defects. This approach derives the overall process of selection the right projects based on their potential to improve performance metrics and selection and training the right people to get the business results. However, in the course of Six Sigma process steps, companies are in the face of problems. This study is to solve the problems using TP(Thinking Process) of TOC(Theory of Constraints). TOC is methodology for solving key problem in system which is called Constraints. Nowadays, its application is going to be wide and its concept is being implemented. In this paper, it is showed possibility of application TOC to Six Sigma.

본 논문에서는 토목 구조물에 대한 바람의 영향을 알아보기 위하여 수치 기법으로 해석하였다. 지간이 긴 현수교는 바람에 의한 공력탄성학적 분안정성에 놓일 수 있으므로, 설계 시 공기력은 주요한 고려사항이며 공탄성 안정성은 반드시 확인되어야 한다. 풍속이 임계 플러터 속도를 넘어서면, 교량 구조물은 바람과 상호작용에 의한 플러터 현상으로 인해 붕괴된다. 교량 단면의 공탄성 해석을 위해 전산유체역학과 전산구조해석을 이용하였으며, Navier-Stokes방정식을 사용하여 공기력을 구하였다. 본 연구에서는 구조 강성에 따른 교량 구조물의 임계 플러터 속도가 연구된다. 교량 단면의 임계 플러터 속도는 구조강성의 변화에 민감함을 확인할 수 있었다.

Extraction of Sedum sarmentosum Bunge by super critical carbon dioxide was operated under 40-50℃and 200-250 atm, thus, yield of extraction was very low as 4 wt%. Rats were administrated with the extract orally once a day for succesive 6 days, followed by treatment with carbon tetrachloride (CCl4) on the sixth day. The activities of aminotransferase, alkaline phosphatase, γ-glutamyl transpeptidase, lactate dehydrogenase and contents of triglyceride, total cholesterol in the extract-pretreated rats were decreased compared to the CCl4controled rats, whereas content of HDL-cholesterol was increased. Especially content of hepatic malondialdehyde (MDA) and atherogenic index (AI) were decreased and HTR was increased in the extract-pretreated rats, and reduced peroxidative liver damage in the CCl4-induced hepatotoxicity rats. In addition, activities of hepatic superoxide dismutase, catalase, glutathione peroxidase in the extract-pretreated rats were significantly decreased compared to the CCl4 controled rats, but the content of glutathione was significantly increased. These results suggest that extract of Sedum sarmentosum Bunge has hepatoprotective effect in the CCl4-intoxicated rats.

The goal of this study is to investigate EFL readers’ use of critical reading when they read texts. Focusing only on understanding the propositional meaning of a text influences the pedagogy of EFL in that students accept textual knowledge via the teacher as the authorized version of truth and what counts as knowledge so that they are also brainwashed by the ideology of these texts; all texts include a certain ideology because language is not neutral. However, there is also a presupposition that critical reading is merely an additional level tacked onto mainstream literacy education and mainstream discourse analysis. Critical reading practice in this study is an adaptation of Fairclough’s (1995) critical discourse analysis in which issues of power and control are central to the social theories he builds. This empirical study investigated Korean EFL university students’ use of critical reading enhanced by a qualitative method of data analysis. One of the findings is that the participants were aware that language reflects unequal social power that operates within institutions and discourses. There will be further discussion of other findings and suggestions for EFL reading pedagogy.

본 연구에서는 보통의 조리조건과 위생적 조리조건에서 김밥을 조리하였을 때에, 각 조리조건하에서의 식자재(원재료),조리자의 손, 조리환경(조리기구 및 조리실),그리고 완성된 김밥의 미생물 품질을 살펴보고 이를 토대로 김밥조리과정 중의 중요관리점(CCPs)을 관찰하였다. 김밥과 그 원재료, 조리자의 손, 그리고 조리기구(칼, 도마 및 김발)의 표준평판균, 대장균군, 분변성대장균군, 대장균, 황색포도상구균, 살모넬라균 등의 미생물을 식품공전에 준하여 측정하였으며 조리실의 미생물 오염도를 평가하였다. 모든 시료에서 대장균, 황색포도상구균 및 살모넬라균은 검출되지 않았으며 표준평판균, 대장균군 및 분변성대장균군은 보통의 조리조건에서보다 위생적 조건에서 현저하게 낮았다. 김밥 원재료 중 비가열재료에서는 가열재료보다 표준평판균 및 대장균군수가 많이 검출되었다. 두 조건에서조리실의 공중낙하균은 모두 양호한 수준이었다. 위생적 조리조건에서 만든 김밥은 보통의 조리조건에서 만든 김밥에 비하여 표준평판균과 대장균군이 1/100수준이었으나 아직 분변성대장균군이 검출되었다. 따라서 비가열재료, 조리기구 및 조리자의 손의 미생물 오염, 그리고 조리 중의 교차오염이 김밥 미생물 오염의 주요 근원으로 지적되며, 비가열재료의 취급, 조리기구의 세척과 소독 및 조리자의 손씻기 단계가 CCPs로 제시된다.
