Purpose: To investigate the association between long-term exposure to ambient air pollution and lung cancer incidence in Koreans. Materials and Methods: This was a population-based case-control study covering 908 lung cancer patients and 908 controls se- lected from a random sample of people within each Korean province and matched according to age, sex, and smoking status. We developed land-use regression models to estimate annual residential exposure to particulate matter (PM10) and nitrogen dioxide (NO2) over a 20-year exposure period. Logistic regression was used to estimate odds ratios (ORs) and their corresponding 95% confidence intervals (CI). Results: Increases in lung cancer incidence (expressed as adjusted OR) were 1.09 (95% CI: 0.96−1.23) with a ten-unit increase in 3 PM10 (μg/m ) and 1.10 (95% CI: 1.00−1.22) with a ten-unit increase in NO2 (ppb).

  • Transnational East Asian Cinema Symposium One-Sheet
    Transnational East Asian Cinema since 1997 Saturday 06 th December 2008, University of Southampton, UK A one day symposium sponsored by Screen, hosted by the University of Southampton with Goldsmiths, University of London and the University of Hong Kong The theme of the symposium is the relationship between cinematic representations and transnational cultural exchange, centred on one of the most active areas of cinematic activity over the past decade - East Asian cinema. It encompasses a broad range of topics that reflect upon how academia, filmmakers and the film industry have responded to the effects of globalisation, and the ways in which representations are read through the differing transnational contexts that exist between Asia and the West. The symposium will focus on developments since 1997, when certain cultural events in Asia impacted upon local film industries and transformed their relationship to the West. Two key events from this period include the return of Hong Kong to China and the economic crisis in South Korea. The impact of these events spread beyond national boundaries and was a modern turning point in the socio-economic and cultural history of the region. The period also saw a resurgence in Asian cinema, with production increasing amongst most countries (despite the opposite seen in Hong Kong), and success at the local box office. In the West, while certain films have gained success at the international box office, those which found cult or arthouse success have been remade by Hollywood. Meanwhile, Asian and Western actors and directors are being influenced by one another, while others are able to move freely between Asia and the West.

  • Lesbians in Japan and South Korea
    Her Story: Lesbians in Japan and South Korea Elise Fylling EAST 4590 – Master’s Thesis in East Asian Studies African and Asian Studies 60 credits – spring 2012 Department of Culture Studies and Oriental Languages Faculty of Humanities University of Oslo Her Story: Lesbians in Japan and South Korea Master’s thesis, Elise Fylling © Elise Fylling 2012 Her Story: Lesbians in Japan and South Korea Elise Fylling Academic supervisor: Vladimir Tikhonov http://www.duo.uio.no Printed by: Webergs Printshop Summary Lesbians in Japan and South Korea have long been ignored in both academic, and in social context. The assumption that there are no lesbians in Japan or South Korea dominates a large population in these societies, because lesbians do not identify as such in the public domain. Instead they often live double lives showing one side of themselves to the public and another in private. Although there exist no formal laws against homosexuality, a social barrier in relation to coming out to one’s family, friends or co-workers is highly present. Shame, embarrassment and fear of being rejected as deviant or abnormal makes it difficult to step outside of the bonds put on by society’s hetero-normative structures. What is it like to be lesbian in contemporary Japan and South Korea? In my dissertation I look closely at the Japanese and South Korean society’s attitudes towards young lesbians, examining their experiences concerning identity, invisibility, family relations, the question of marriage and how they see themselves in society. I also touch upon how they meet others in spite of their invisibility as well as giving some insight to the way they chose to live their life.
