  • Hwa-Byung:The
    FROM THE INSTRUCTOR In his prize-winning essay, “Hwa-Byung: The “Han”-Blessed Illness,” Wooyoung Cho taps a global skill set to shed new light on how culture shapes definitions of mental illness. His paper is an outstanding example of student-driven inquiry. I had never heard of the Korean culture-bound mental illness called hwa-byung when Wooyoung proposed this project. But even if I had, I would’ve had no idea where to find narratives about hwa-byung written by young men, let alone be able to translate them from Korean. (Are you curious yet?) In his research, Wooyoung learned that scholarly studies of hwa-byung have focused on middle-aged women and interpreted their symptoms as reflections of Korea’s patriarchal social structure. When he discovered that today more young men are being diagnosed with hwa-byung, he wanted to understand the social causes of their distress. One way he gathered evidence was by searching a Korean online forum and reading posts by young men about their hwa-byung experiences. When students in Marisa Milanese’s “Global Documentary” class read a draft of Wooyoung’s essay in a cross-section peer review exercise, they were understandably skeptical about his methodology. They asked for “a clearer understanding of why analyzing narratives is a credible method to gain insight into this illness.” Wooyoung responded with a revision that provided the theoretical framework necessary to explain the kind of authority those anonymous online posts have in the context of his project. He was wise to listen carefully to his readers.

  • Use of Portable Microbial Samplers for Estimating Inhalation Exposure to Viable Biological Agents
    Journal of Exposure Science and Environmental Epidemiology (2007) 17, 31–38 r 2007 Nature Publishing Group All rights reserved 1559-0631/07/$30.00 www.nature.com/jes Use of portable microbial samplers for estimating inhalation exposure to viable biological agents MAOSHENG YAO AND GEDIMINAS MAINELIS Department of Environmental Sciences, Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey, 14 College Farm Road, New Brunswick, New Jersey 08901-8551, USA Portable microbial samplers are being increasingly used to determine the presence ofmicrobial agents in the air; however, their performance charac teristics when sampling airborne biological agents are largely unknown. In addition, it is unknown whether these samplers could be used to assess microbial inhalation exposure according to the particle sampling conventions. This research analyzed collection efficiencies of MAS-100, Microflow, SMA MicroPortable, Millipore Air Tester, SAS Super 180, BioCulture, and RCS High Flow portable microbial samplers when sampling six bacterial and fungal species ranging from 0.61 to 3.14mm in aerodynamic diameter. The efficiencies with which airborne microorganisms were deposited on samplers’ collection medium were compared to the particle inhalation and lung deposition convention curves. When sampling fungi, RCS High Flow and SAS Super 180 deposited 80%–90% ofairborne spores on agar F highest among investigated samplers. Other samplers showed collection efficiencies of 10%–60%. When collecting bacteria, RCS High Flow and MAS-100 collected 20%–30%, whereas other samplers collected less than 10% ofthese bioparticles. Comparison ofsamplers’ collection efficiencies with particle inhalation convention curves showed that RCS High Flow and SAS Super 18 0 could be used to assess inhalation exposure to particles larger than 2.5 mm, such as fungal spores.

  • Culture and Care Danely, Jason
    U20145 CULTURE AND CARE INTRODUCTION This module examines care as one of the most fundamental adaptive strategies for human survival and social flourishing, providing a counterpoint to anthropological accounts that focus on conflict, friction, and violence. The central claim that we will investigate and question over the course is that care has been fundamental to the enhancement of human biosocial evolution and continues to be central as we consider ways to enhance our future. Though fundamental (or because it is fundamental) care has taken on a variety of cultural meanings, structuring social relations from the intimate to the global. Who is deserving of care? When does care of another supersede self-care? Do I have a right to care? Does this right include a right to sex or death? Some of the most important questions about human wellbeing revolve around care. Ethical debates about how to treat socially marginal, non-productive, and vulnerable groups (the sick and disabled, the elderly, children, orphans, immigrants and displaced persons, etc.), for example, depend on deeply invested cultural norms and assumptions surrounding care; if we are to join these debates, we need to be able to critically examine the idea, practice, and felt experience of care. This course begins by examining the evolution of our uniquely human capacity for care, including the neurobiological, emotional, and social adaptations that support empathy and cooperation. Next, we look at moral and ethical dimensions of care as expressed rituals of religious devotion and healing. Third, we look at modern caring institutions and how care has become linked to citizenship, education and welfare.

Cultural History Cultural history brings to life a past time and place. In this search, cultural historians study beliefs and ideas, much as What is Cultural History? historians do. In addition to the writings of intellectual elites, they consider the notions sometimes unwritten of the less privileged and less educated. These are reflected in the products of deliberately artistic culture, but also include the objects and experiences of everyday life, such as clothing or cuisine. In this sense, our instincts, thoughts, and acts have an ancestry which cultural history can illuminate and examine critically. Historians of culture at Yale study all these aspects of the past in their global interconnectedness, and explore how they relate to our many understandings of our varied presents. Cultural history is an effort to inhabit the minds of the people of different worlds. This journey is, like great literature, thrilling in itself. It is also invaluable for rethinking our own historical moment. Like the air we breathe, the cultural context that shapes our understanding of the world is often invisible for those who are surrounded by it; cultural history What is Cultural History? us to take a step back, and recognize that some of what we take for granted is remarkable, and that some of what we have thought immutable and What is Cultural History? is contingent and open to change.

  • The Aspects of Biological Culture Recreating and Its Relationship with the Approach of Contextual Architecture (Bandar Abbas City)
    European Online Journal of Natural and Social Sciences 2014; www.european-science.com Vol.3, No.4 Special Issue on Architecture, Urbanism, and Civil Engineering ISSN 1805-3602 The Aspects of Biological Culture Recreating and its Relationship with the Approach of Contextual Architecture (Bandar Abbas city) Sara Amirshekari1*, Hasanali Pourmand2 1Hormozgan Branch, Islamic Azad University, Department of Architectural Engineering, Bandar-e- Abbas, Iran;2University of Tarbiat Modarres, Department of Architectural Engineering, Tehran, Iran *E-mail: [email protected] Abstract In the recent years, by evolution of urban development and restoration, urban recreation has taken a lot of attention in action research. Like integrated and comprehensive account of urban development, recreation of urban culture is a circuit that, on one hand, regards all aspects and constraints in intra-city culture development, and on the other hand tries to change each available opportunity to a useful instrument aimed at attaining development. In this regard, context-oriented approach is one of the most common view points in architecture that assumes context as a historical and cultural event. In contextual architecture, purely physical dimensions were taken into primary accounts. Gradually, however, the focus was expanded to include human aspects like culture and socio-cultural dimensions of the society. In this article, we attempt to evaluate the manner of bio- culture recreation progress with approach of contextual architecture, by referring to its concepts and dimensions of concepts and thus it can provide a context that lead to promotion of the popular rich cultures interactions. This is believed that it can make preparations for a context where peoples’ cultural interactions.

Assistant Professor, Science and Research Branch, Islamic Azad University, Tehran, Iran. 4. Assistant Professor, Science and Research Branch, Islamic Azad University, Tehran, Iran. Received: 25/03/2019 ; revised: 13/07/2019 ; accepted: 25/07/2019 ; available online: 20/03/2020 Abstract Problem statement: Surprise, shame and guilt are considered to be human emotions. Reactions to these emotions are subject to biological and cultural issues. Looking at the Iranian art and literature in the context of history, it seems that one of the reactions of amazed and regretful people in the Iranian culture has been angosht gazidan, as it can be found numerously in ancient Iranian texts, ancient poetry, and painting. Since this reaction can only be seen in the cultural history of Iran, it should be attributed to the specific culture of Iranians. Research objective: The objective of this research is to find the historical course of angosht gazidan in Iranian literature and painting and examine whether this reaction has been derived from the behavioral reaction of Iranians.
