우리나라 교정시설 여성수용자 관리에 대한 관심이 증가하면서, 남성수용자 위주의 교정정책에서 벗어나 여성수용자의 특성을 고려한 정책적 접근을 시작 하고 있다. 미성년의 자녀들을 두고 있는 여성이 교정시설에 수용되는 경우 여성수용자 자신뿐만 아니라 자녀들에게도 심각한 영향을 주게 된다. 많은 연구에서 자녀들이 분리로 인한 슬픔, 공허감, 무기력감, 분노와 공포를 경험할 수 있으며 어린시기의 이러한 영향은 장기적으로 자녀들의 정상적인 성장에 악영향을 미칠 수 있다는 결과가 도출되었다. 미국에서는 이러한 문제점들을 해결하기 위해 교정시설에서 다양한 프로그램을 시행하고 있다. 어머니와의 분리로 인한 문제점을 줄이기 위해 교도소 탁아시설이 운영되고 있으며 이러한 프로그램은 여성수용자들과 자녀들의 유대감을 향상시키고 출소후에도 자녀들과의 재결합을 촉진시키는 것으로 조사되고 있다. 그 외에도 IMPACT, MOLD, CVP, MATCH 등 여성수용자와 자녀들의 접촉 기회를 증가시키는 많은 프로그램이 시행중에 있다. 우리나라에서도 최근 여성수용자와 자녀관계 회복․개선 프로 그램의 중요성에 대해 인식하고, 가족사랑캠프, 어머니학교, 가족만남의 날, 가 족만남의 집, 귀휴 등 다양한 프로그램을 운영하고 있다. 이러한 프로그램의 내 실을 다지고 더욱 발전시키기 위해서는 교정당국과 보건복지가족부․여성부․ 지방자치단체․사회복지기관 등 유관기관과 지역사회가 협력해 나가야 할 것이다.

최근 미국과 일본은 이전부터 쌓아온 게임에 대한 기술력과 기획력을 온라인 게임에 적용하여 이전 한국의 온라인 게임 못지않은 게임들을 만들고 있으며 후발주자인 중국도 빠르게 기술을 습득하여 표절의 의혹은 많이 있으나 점점 한국의 입지를 좁히고 있다. 한국의 게임도 여성유저의 양적 성장이 눈에 띄게 급신장하고 있어 게임 유저 층이 점점 선진국형화 되어 가고 있다. 이에 새로운 전환점을 맞아 새로운 개념과 형식으로 다양한 유저층이 즐길 수 있는 게임기획이 필요하다. 이런 흐름에 맞혀 여성유저들의 관심을 끄는 게임들을 분석하여 이들이 가지고 있는 어떤 특징들이 그들을 열광하게 만드는지 분석하고, 앞으로의 개발 방향에 대하여 제시하였다. 본 논문의 결과는 게임제작의 초석이 되는 게임기획 디자인에 의사결정을 지원 할 것으로 기대한다.

The purpose of this article is to research how women - especially housewives and housemaids - are described in relation to domestic/caring labor in Hong Kong fictions after 1997, and to estimate in which state the Hong Kong fictions are located on this matter regarding the gender equality problem. Although there has been improvement to the domestic gender equality in Hong Kong, it still is mostly the housewives who take full responsibility on domestic labor. The image of women as those dedicated to domestic labor is still being repetitively reproduced in Hong Kong fictions too. Moreover housewives are often narrated as unreasonable, irrational, unproductive beings, those who have no other choices but to do house chores and depend on their husbands. Furthermore, to housemaids (‘菲傭’) as social agent of domestic labor, the injustice of reification on women is done in the fiction as well as in the real world. Even the relationship of controlling and being controlled is built between housewives and housemaids of the same gender. Hong Kong fictions do not yet give enough attention to the significance of domestic/caring labor, which women still are entirely responsible to, on the issue of gender equality. Nonetheless, it is clear that Hong Kong fictions are showing the possibility of improvement on this matter.

This study was conducted to investigate bone density and food behavior of middle-aged (〈65-years-of-age) and oldaged women (≥65-years-of-age) in the Seoul area of Korea. Average height and weight, body mass index, body fat percentage, and waist-hip ration (WHR) of the middle-aged participants were 158.0 cm, 58.4 kg, 23.3, 29.7%, and 0.88. Corresponding measurements for old-aged participants were 152.6 cm, 56.3 kg, 24.1, 33.1%, and 0.93. T- and Z-scores for middle-aged women were -1.20 and -0.21, and those of old-aged women were -2.02 and -0.49. Osteopenia and osteoporosis percentage of middle- and old-aged women were 41.2% and 14.7%, and 45.2% and 37.1%, respectively. Significant differences were evident concerning between-meal, overeating, exercise, and nutritional supplementation among the two groups. Middle-aged women displayed a positive relationships between bone density and the parameters of height (p〈0.05), weight (p〈0.05), exercise (p〈0.05), consumption of soybean and soybean-processed food (p〈0.05), and negative relationships between bone density and the parameters of WHR (p〈0.001), consumption of meat and meatprocessed food (p〈0.05), and tea drinking (p〈0.05). In old-aged women group, positive relationships were evident for bone density and the parameters of height (p〈0.05), weight (p〈0.05), exercise (p〈0.05), nutritional supplementation (p〈0.05), and consumption of soybean and soybean-processed food (p〈0.05). The results reveal a link between healthy bones and desirable food behavior, indicating the importance of a practical and systematically organized food behavior education program for middle- and old-aged Korean women.

The purpose of this study is to explore the applicability of QFD to product development of clothes by empirically applying it to development of a specific clothes, middle and elderly women’s formal knitwear. The voices of customers(VOCs) for formal knitwear was collected through in-depth interviews with 25 customers, shop masters, and designers. Also, questionnaires of which respondents were 230 customers were used to rank the importance of the items of VOC. A QFD team of 10 knitwear experts implemented the task of translating VOCs into design attributes and measuring the values of the relationships between VOCs and design attributes. Importance ranking of the items of design attributes was obtained based on Lyman’s method. The results of this study were as follows. First, the customer requirements for formal knitwear were classified into five dimensions, that is, symbolism, aesthetic, fitness, usefulness, and maintenance. Second, the descending order of the necessity of improving the quality was maintenance, aesthetic, fitness, usefulness, and symbolism. Third, three-staged design attributes were obtained as a result of translating of VOCs into design attributes. Lastly, the descending order of the importance of design attributes was “sorts of yarn”, “sorts of color jacquard”, “color”, “tone”, “ease”, etc.

With Spivak’s term “subaltern” the purpose of this paper is to present a relationship between post-colonialism and feminism in Irish literature, and to demonstrate the feminine images represented in modern Irish contemporary texts. The Irish literary society tends to regard the minority women as the inferior one in the process of de-colonization. But the feminie writing is try to overcome the established attitude in post-colonial literature. At this juncture, Heaney, rather than focusing on particular events from colonialism to post-colonialism, concentrates primarily on the receptivity, remembering subaltern’s life, history, territory, and tongue of native women. His writing is not from the post-colonial literary tradition but from the native receptivity toward the women's life and its reality. Finally, through the reception of the feminine writing with the appropriated de-colonial writing, we should address “the women” represented in post-colonial text as the subaltern subjectivity.
