성호 이익의 저서 『성호사설』의 글 중에서 저자 성호 선생의 사유와 생애를 뚜렷이 보여주는 작품만을 선별하여 구성하였다. 『성호사설』에 수록된 글들은 성호가 40세 전후부터 평소에 공부하거나 생활하거나 제자들을 가르치다가 떠오른 생각이나 의문들을 적어둔 것들이다. 성호는 그 글들을 차곡차곡 모아두었다가 나이가 80세에 가까워지자 그 글들을 꺼내어 정리했다. 40여년에 걸친 학문의 총 결산이 곧 『성호사설』인 것이다. 여기에서‘사설’은 한자로 僿說로 ‘자질구레한 논설’이라는 뜻이다. 『성호사설』은 폭넓은 지식을 담고 있다는 점에서는 백과사전과 비슷하지만 그와 결정적으로 구분되는 점은 실학자로서의 ‘투철한 문제의식’과 ‘높은 식견’을 보여준다. 『성호사설』에 담긴 광범위한 지식은 그저 (...) 흥밋거리나 ‘지식을 위한 지식’으로 나열된 것이 아니다. 어떻게 하면 하층민이 더 잘살 수 있을까, 열심히 일하는 사람이 더 가난해지고 놀고먹는 자들이 특권을 유지하는 부조리를 어떻게 하면 청산할 수 있을까, 어떻게 하면 부당하게 잊힌 사람들이 정당한 평가를 받게 할 수 있을까 등의 질문에 답하며 문제를 구체적이면서도 치밀하고 깊이 있게 파고들기 위한 지식인 것이다.

Young migrants have been the major migrant labor force in urban China. But they may be more vulnerable in quality of life and mental health than other groups, due to their personal characteristic and some social/community policies or management measures. It highlights the need to focus on psychological wellbeing and probe driving and reinforcing factors that influence their mental health. This study aimed to investigate the influence of subjective/objective status and possible pathways of young migrants’ life satisfaction and psychological distress. (...) Data on 9838 young migrants in the China Migrants Dynamic Survey were analyzed by LISREL 8.8. A total of 94.03% migrated for jobs or business. Subjective status, including subjective socioeconomic status, social adaptation, and psychological integration, had positive effects on life satisfaction, whereas social adaptation and psychological integration negatively affected psychological distress. Objective status, including objective socioeconomic status and health insurance, had adverse effects on life satisfaction, whereas they positively affected psychological distress. Social participation and city belonging had only significant positive mediating roles on life satisfaction. It is essential to increase social adaptation and decrease integration stress according to younger internal migrants’ practical needs. It is also necessary to enhance community/social resources and activities in the context of developing sustainability in the community to assist in mental health promotion. (shrink)

BackgroundThe therapeutic effect of deep brain stimulation (DBS) of the subthalamic nucleus (STN) for Parkinson's disease (PD) is related to the modulation of pathological neural activities, particularly the synchronization in the β band (13–35 Hz). However, whether the local β activity in the STN region can directly predict the stimulation outcome remains unclear.ObjectiveWe tested the hypothesis that low-β (13–20 Hz) and/or high-β (20–35 Hz) band activities recorded from the STN region can predict DBS efficacy.MethodsLocal field potentials (LFPs) were recorded in (...) 26 patients undergoing deep brain stimulation surgery in the subthalamic nucleus area. Recordings were made after the implantation of the DBS electrode prior to its connection to a stimulator. The maximum normalized powers in the theta (4–7 Hz), alpha (7–13 Hz), low-β (13–20 Hz), high-β (20–35 Hz), and low-γ (40–55 Hz) subbands in the postoperatively recorded LFP were correlated with the stimulation-induced improvement in contralateral tremor or bradykinesia–rigidity. The distance between the contact selected for stimulation and the contact with the maximum subband power was correlated with the stimulation efficacy. Following the identification of the potential predictors by the significant correlations, a multiple regression analysis was performed to evaluate their effect on the outcome.ResultsThe maximum high-β power was positively correlated with bradykinesia–rigidity improvement (rs = 0.549, p < 0.0001). The distance to the contact with maximum high-β power was negatively correlated with bradykinesia–rigidity improvement (rs = −0.452, p < 0.001). No significant correlation was observed with low-β power. The maximum high-β power and the distance to the contact with maximum high-β power were both significant predictors for bradykinesia–rigidity improvement in the multiple regression analysis, explaining 37.4% of the variance altogether. Tremor improvement was not significantly correlated with any frequency.ConclusionHigh-β oscillations, but not low-β oscillations, recorded from the STN region with the DBS lead can inform stimulation-induced improvement in contralateral bradykinesia–rigidity in patients with PD. High-β oscillations can help refine electrode targeting and inform contact selection for DBS therapy. (shrink)
