Hyun Kwon

Today I had the wonderful opportunity to discover more of the story of one of our faculty, Hyun Kwon, chair of the Department of Engineering & Computer Science. The conversation left me inspired, reminding me yet again of the amazing faculty who work at Andrews University. Hyun was born as a second child among three siblings in South Korea. Her father was a police office, her mom a full-time mom. She was a high achiever academically and after attending an elite science track high school, she continued to the prestigious Korean Advanced Institute of Technology (KAIST) with a full governmental scholarship. She chose engineering to study because in that area math and science are applied to bring positive change to society. It was while pursuing her PhD at KAIST that Hyun visited the U.S. and it so impressed her that she decided she wanted to come and live here at some point. It happened sooner than she expected; Hyun transferred and was soon on her way to complete her PhD at the University of Louisville. Up to that time in her life Hyun had been focused on academic and professional success. She never had many Christian friends in her circle in Korea and still thinks that if she had stayed in Korea her ego would have become so big she would not have needed God! And so started her Exodus experience: Leaving her country, crossing the ocean and facing difficulties that come with that kind of transition. Read the rest of Hyun’s story in Stories of Andrews at andrews.edu/stories. Hers is a story that is part of the spirit of Andrews.

Persepsi Terhadap Cidera Dan Kepercayaan Diri Pada Atlet Tae Kwon Do Wanita

Fenomena yang berkembang sekarang memperlihatkan bahwa sudah banyak wanita yang mengikuti olahraga yang umumnya diikuti oleh kaum pria, khususnya dalam cabang olahraga Tae Kwon Do yang di dalamnya banyak sekali kontak fisik yang memungkinkan seorang atlet mengalami cidera. Cidera akan mempengaruhi penampilan fisik. Sebagai seorang wanita, penampilan fisik merupakan hal yang penting. Sebagai seorang atlet wanita, hal ini akan menjadi beban pikiran bagi mereka bagaimana kalau terkena cidera. Tetapi tidak semua atlet Tae Kwon Do wanita menjadikan cidera sebagai beban pikiran. Tidak semua atlet Tae Kwon Do wanita mempunyai pandangan yang sama terhadap cidera. Cara seorang atlet Tae Kwon Do wanita memandang cidera akan mempengaruhi kepercayaan dirinya dalam bertanding. Oleh karena itu, penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menguji hubungan antara persepsi terhadap cidera dengan kepercayaan diri pada atlet Tae Kwon Do wanita. Penelitian ini melibatkan 45 orang atlet Tae Kwon Do wanita yang berusia antara 18 sampai 21 tahun. Berdasarkan hasil analisis yang dilakukan diketahui bahwa hasil koefisien korelasi sebesar 0.817 (p < .01). Dari hasil tersebut maka dapat dikatakan bahwa hipotesis penelitian ini diterima. Hal ini berarti bahwa ada hubungan yang sangat signifikan antara persepsi terhadap cidera dengan kepercayaan diri pada atlet Tae Kwon Do wanita

Prothrombin complex concentrates or recombinant factor VIIa are more effective than fresh-frozen plasma at lowering INR in patients with liver disease

Efeito de um período de polimento na potência e capacidade anaeróbia de atletas de tae-kwon-do

The aim of the study was to analyze the effect of a tapering period on anaerobic power and capacity of tae-kwon-do athletes. Thirty-one male tae-kwon-do participants of the Brazilian Championship were selected in a non-probabilistic way. Subjects were randomly divided into two groups, namely: experimental group (EG, n = 15) and control group (CG, n = 17). Both groups followed the same training protocol up to the tapering stage. CG was submitted to training loads contained in the last two weeks of the macrocycle. Only EG was submitted to tapering. Tapering had 2 weeks duration, adopting the linear tapering method. Taekwondo Anaerobic Test was performed by athletes before the start of the season, which was named as pre-intervention, and the last week of each mesocycle [Prep I, Prep II and Tapering (only EG)]. Group vs. time effect interaction (p < 0.01) was identified for alactic anaerobic power, with an increase only in EG in tapering (p = 0.01). A significant group vs. time interaction (p <0.01) was revealed to fatigue index, improved anaerobic capacity being checked in EG only after the tapering period (p = 0.01). It was concluded that two weeks of linear type tapering optimized the anaerobic power and capacity of male tae-kwon-do athletes.O objetivo do estudo foi analisar o efeito de um período de polimento sobre a potência e capacidade anaeróbia de atletas de tae-kwon-do. Trinta e um atletas de tae-kwon-do do sexo masculino participantes do campeonato brasileiro de tae-kwon-do foram selecionados de forma não probabilística. Os atletas foram separados aleatoriamente em dois grupos, a saber: experimental (GE, n = 15) e controle (GC, n = 17). Ambos os grupos seguiram o mesmo treinamento até a fase do polimento. O GC manteve as cargas de treinamento constantes nas últimas duas semanas do macrociclo. Somente o GE realizou o polimento. O polimento teve duração de 2 semanas, adotando-se o método de polimento linear. O Taekwondo Anaerobic Test foi realizado pelos atletas antes do início da temporada, o que foi denominado como pre-intervenção, e na última semana de cada mesociclo [Preparatório I, Preparatório II e Polimento (somente para o GE)]. Foi identificado efeito de interação grupo vs. tempo (p < 0,01) para a potência anaeróbia alática, com aumento apenas no GE na fase do polimento (p = 0,01). Uma interação significante grupo vs. tempo (p < 0,01) foi revelada para o índice de fadiga, com melhoria da capacidade anaeróbia sendo verificada no GE somente após a fase de polimento (p = 0,01). Concluiu-se que duas semanas de polimento do tipo linear otimizou a potência e capacidade anaeróbia de atletas de tae-kwon-do do sexo masculino

Charm Production at Large Rapidities in p+p and d+Au Collisions at PHENIX at RHIC

We study charm production through dimuon and single muon measurements at forward and backward rapidities in p+p and d+Au collisions with the PHENIX muon detectors. We also compare open charm to $J/\psi$ yields in the forward and backward rapidities in d+Au collisions and study the origin of the large forward and backward asymmetry in open charm production observed by the PHENIX experiment.Comment: 4 pages, 3 figures, DIS2006 conference, April 2006, Tsukuba, Japa

Motivation by Ideal

I offer an account of how ideals motivate us. My account suggests that although emulating an ideal is often rational, it can lead us to do irrational things

We examined diabetes management practices among Hispanics, Blacks, and 3 Asian American subgroups in New York City. Compared with Blacks and Hispanics, all 3 Asian American subgroups had lower average rates of diabetes management practices. Compared with Blacks, Chinese and Koreans were significantly less likely to participate in all diabetes management behaviors and practices, whereas Asian Indians were significantly less likely to perform feet checks or undergo an eye examination. Results demonstrated the need for health care provider interventions and training to support diabetes management among Asian Americans.1U48 DP001904-04/DP/NCCDPHP CDC HHS/United StatesP30 ES023515/ES/NIEHS NIH HHS/United StatesP60 MD000538/MD/NIMHD NIH HHS/United StatesP60 MD000538/MD/NIMHD NIH HHS/United StatesR24 MD001691/MD/NIMHD NIH HHS/United StatesR24MD001691/MD/NIMHD NIH HHS/United StatesU48 DP001904/DP/NCCDPHP CDC HHS/United StatesU58 DP001022/DP/NCCDPHP CDC HHS/United StatesU58 DP001022/DP/NCCDPHP CDC HHS/United StatesU58 DP004685/DP/NCCDPHP CDC HHS/United StatesU58 DP005621/DP/NCCDPHP CDC HHS/United StatesUL1 TR000038/TR/NCATS NIH HHS/United StatesUL1 TR000038/TR/NCATS NIH HHS/United StatesUL1 TR000067/TR/NCATS NIH HHS/United StatesUL1 TR001445/TR/NCATS NIH HHS/United States2016-07-01T00:00:00Z25905853PMC445552
