Abstract:
This paper studies feminist geopolitical practices in South Korea in the context of “comfort women” forced into sexual slavery by the Imperial Japanese military around the Second World War. Although there has been a considerable amount of literature penned on the comfort women issue, existing discussions focus largely on the conflict between nationalist and feminist paradigms, while largely minimizing feminist activism and changing gender narratives within Korean society. Therefore, this research aims to expand the field by considering the struggles that comfort women have endured through the lens of feminist geopolitical scholarship. I argue that comfort women activism constitutes a form of feminist geopolitical practice in a way that challenges masculine gender narratives. It has opened up new spaces where comfort women survivors can produce a sense of “survivorhood” and move beyond passivity throughout their lives. The rise of their active voices signals the overturning of traditional patriarchal structures; consequently, along with other forms of activism, these narratives have eventually led to a shift in public attitudes. Unlike how nationalist accounts were dominant in the early 1990s, the increased public attention towards the feminist accounts in the mid-2010s has subsequently increased media coverage of survivors and feminist practices.

Abstract:
This article explored South Korean and Japanese newspaper reports on the “comfort women” who were forced into sexual slavery by the Imperial Japanese Army in the 1930s-1940s, to examine how print media have reproduced the reality of the issue. I conducted a quantitative frame analysis of the contents of news articles ( N = 384) on the comfort women in four South Korean and Japanese newspapers. The frames of comfort women articles in all papers can be considered to be very stereotyped, because they have changed little according to the newspaper’s political position (conservative/liberal), attitude (anti-Japan/anti–South Korea), and nationality (South Korean/Japanese). When the relationship of South Korea and Japan has been combative, conflict and morality frames have been abundant. In contrast, when the relationship has been favorable, human interest frames have been ample.

Abstract:
The aim of this thesis is to explore the way in which sexualities and identities are involved in the creation of patriarchal relations, ethnic hierarchies and colonial power in the context of "Comfort Women". The women were considered sexual slaves for Japanese soldiers during World War II. I attempt to show the It) ways in which masculinity, femininity, and national identity were re/constructed through the enforcement of the subject-positionings of gender, colonialism and nationalism. The questions I raise and attempt to answer are: What kinds of masculinity and femininity of the Japanese soldiers and Korean "Comfort Women" respectively, and the national identities of both, were re/constructed through the comfort station system? How were the positionings of the "Comfort Women" enacted through daily practices and ideology, and what were the consequences of the re/construction of their identity? Finally, how did the "Comfort Women" position themselves in the face of the imposition of gender and national identities, by Japanese colonial and Korean nationalist power? I use personal narratives, including testimonies and life histories of the former Korean "Comfort Women" and Japanese veterans obtained from my interviews with them as well as from testimonies already released. I interviewed thirteen former Korean "Comfort Women" and seventeen Japanese veterans. Thirteen out of the veterans were 'rehabilitated' in China after World War El, the remaining four were not. I also occasionally use official documents on the comfort station system, which were issued by the Japanese military and the Western Allies. I argue that the development of gender and national identities contributed to the construction of Japanese colonialism, and that the "Comfort Women" system helped to produce and reproduce Japan as an imperial state with power over the lives and human resources of the colonies. In particular, the maintenance of the military system depended on the circulation of these concepts of masculinity and femininity. The regulation of masculine and feminine sexuality and national identities through the military comfort station system was a crucial means through which Japan expanded its colonies by military means.

Abstract:
Comfort—with its various connotations of physical ease, wealth, independence, and service—is an important concept to Jane Austen, who uses comfort in her novels to both affirm and challenge accepted women’s roles and status in her culture. In the late eighteenth century, new ideas of physical comfort emerged out of luxury along with a growing middle class, to become something both English people and foreigners identified with English culture. The perceived ability of the English to comfort well gave them a reason for national pride during a time of great anxieties about France’s cultural and military might, and Austen participates in her culture’s struggle to define itself against France. Austen’s “comfort” is the term she frequently associates with women, home, and Englishness in her works. Austen’s depiction of female protagonists engaged in the work of comforting solaces modern readers, who often long for the comfort, good manners, and leisure presented in the novels. Surveys of two sample groups, 139 members of the Jane Austen Society of North America and 40 members of the online Republic of Pemberley, elicit data confirming how current readers of Austen turn to her works for comfort during times of stress or depression. Although some readers describe using Austen’s novels as a form of escapism, others view their reading as instructive for dealing with human failings, for gaining perspective on personal difficulties, and for stimulating their intellects. Austen’s fiction grapples with disturbing possibilities, such as the liminal position of powerless single women at the mercy of the marriage market and fickle family wishes, as much as it provides comforting answers. Comforts (decent housing, love in marriage, social interaction) are such a powerful draw in Austen’s works because women’s discomfort is so visible, and for many, so likely. Thus, Austen’s comfort challenges as much as it reassures her audience.

Abstract:
This dissertation focuses on two particular case studies regarding the practice of mass rape during wartime. The first section centers around the case of the so-called “comfort women”, women of various nationalities abducted by the Japanese military and reduced in sexual slavery in “comfort stations” across Asia during the Second World War. The purpose in this instance was to lower the amount of rapes committed on civilians by Japanese soldiers, contain the spread of sexually transmitted diseases, and avoid spies. On the other hand, the practice of mass rapes during the aggression on Bosnia-Herzegovina (1992-1995) was a part of the policy of genocide that Serbian authorities carried against non-Serbs, in particular Bosnian Muslims. In both cases, this dissertation will focus on the concept on “double violence”, where the second violence is represented by the lack of justice and recognition, often accompanied by historical revisionism.

Abstract:
Feminist scholars argue that the licensed prostitution system, a system of sexual slavery created in prewar Japan to complement the patriarchal system, became the basis of the wartime comfort women system. They have begun to examine the comfort women issue in relation to contemporary issues of sexual violence such as adult videos, pointing out that deep-seated sex culture of Japan as a reason for the social resistance against taking responsibility for the issue. Activists in the comfort women movement include those involved in the women’s liberation movement of the early 1970s, in which the comfort women issue was problematized. One such activist, Tanimoto Ayako, criticizes in her narrative the commodification of women, pointing to similarities between survivors of Japan’s military sexual slavery and those of domestic violence in today’s Japan. In their narratives, Nakagawa Kayoko and Yamagata Junko talk about how they have struggled with pervasive gender discrimination in Japanese society from a human rights framework and from a perspective of Christianity, respectively.

Abstract:
Objective: We analyzed the accessibility of a virtual program developed for women with advanced cancer undergoing chemotherapy treatment by the Unified Health System. We ranked the benefits of participating in the program according to the patient’s experience. Methodology: A longitudinal study of quantitative and qualitative was carried out with 78 women diagnosed with locally advanced and/or metastatic breast and gynecological cancer. All participants used the Comfort Program for at least one chemotherapy cycle over the 6 months of the study. We carried out a semi-structured interview to absorb the experience throughout the participation in the program. Data were analyzed with descriptive and inferential statistics, using Student’s t-test and Pearson’s correlation test. Qualitative analysis was performed by two independent evaluators using Bardin’s content analysis method. Results: There was no correlation between the frequency of participation in the program and social factors (age, education level, and income). Most of the participants reported more about their symptoms to the oncologists (70.4%; N 57), the oncologists encouraged their participation in the program and helped with the reported symptoms (60%; N 52), and 91% (N 75) of the patients denied difficulties with understanding of the guidelines offered throughout the participation. The program was classified according to three categories: practicality with the use of the Internet, welcoming space, and ease of reaching help/referrals. The difficulties were related to physical discomfort, forgetfulness, and the unavailability of the internet. Conclusion: In another study, we found benefits of using the Comfort Program in the management of symptoms during chemotherapy. In this study, in addition to numbers, patients brought their own perception of the program and we identified that it is an accessible strategy, facilitating communication between patients and care providers. Regardless of the frequency of participation, women showed greater attention to discomfort, which may suggest greater tolerance to chemotherapy treatment.

Abstract:
The low back pain has become prevalent, affecting the great majority of people and being more common among women. Additionally, women can still have dysmenorrhea, also known as period cramps: a gynecological discomfort that affects roughly 60% of women and can manifest itself in varying degrees of intensity. Treatment using thermal bags is easy, affordable, effective, and does not require the use of medicine for either condition. Thus, using Design Thinking as its methodology, the goal of this project was to create an improved belt that would accommodate a thermal bag while also meeting user comfort needs.

Abstract:
Background: Pregnancy provides a good time for opportunistic screening of our women who rarely attend for cervical screening. The prevalence of abnormal PAP smear in pregnant women in developed countries was 5-6%, however, no literature was available from India. Aim: To determine the prevalence of abnormal PAP smears in antenatal women presenting to our antenatal clinic. Methods: Women attending the antenatal clinic with gestation of <28 weeks were recruited after an informed consent and had a PAP smear by Ayre spatula and cytobrush or a broom type of cytobrush. The comfort level during smear taking & any problems noted were recorded using a pain score. The smears were stained using the PAP stain, were categorized as adequate or inadequate & classified as per Bethesda classification. Results: We had 150 women participating, the mean age was 24.2 yrs, the mean period of gestation was 17 weeks; 43.9% were nulliparous. Smear adequacy rate was 71.5% overall. Pain during procedure was reported in 2.9% of women, 18.3% had minor discomfort; 78.6% were comfortable. Minor bleeding during smear taking was noted in 15%; this was more with the cytobrush & broom than the Ayre spatula alone. Abnormal smears were seen in three women; two had AGC & one had LSIL. Conclusions: Opportunistic cervical screening during pregnancy is safe and well tolerated. Abnormal Cervical smears were seen in 2% of our pregnant women.

Abstract:
Abstract Breast cancer is the leading cause of cancer death in the female population in all regions of Brazil, except in the North, where cervical cancer occupies this position. The mortality rate due to breast cancer, adjusted by the world population, was 14.23 deaths/100,000 women in 2019, with the highest rates in the Southeast and South regions, with 16.14 and 15.08 deaths/100,000 women, respectively. Considering the increase in the number of cases of cancer – especially breast cancer – part of them in advanced stage and without possibility of cure, that is, metastatic, it is evident the need and importance of palliative care (PC) that aim comfort and management at the end of the life of cancer patients.

Abstract:
This study presents the applicability of ergonomics in clothing for bodies in transformation, namely for elderly women aged 65 and over. The proposal focused on an audience that deserves attention with regard to a design product for everyday use, namely clothing that is suitable for a new physical constitution. The purpose of this article is to present the ergonomic, technical and aesthetic factors, considering the physical, psychological and social needs of this target group, for the development of clothing products. Considering the identified needs, materials and methods were suggested for the development of models with specific particularities, appropriate to the real condition of these elderly women. In addition to the bibliographic research carried out, specific methods were used to collect anthropometric measurements, surveys were implemented, and direct observation was also carried out with the target group. The results obtained demonstrated that the methods and techniques applied in the development of a more comfortable and aesthetically pleasing clothing were effective, having been observed that the ergonomic variable of comfort was the one that most impacted at the time of the product development process. It was possible to conclude that the complete assessment of body transformation contributed significantly to the development of clothing with characteristics of comfort and protection that respond to the needs of this segment of the population.

Abstract:
The summative external evaluation report described the program's impact on faculty and students participating in recitation sessions and active teaching professional development sessions over two years. Student persistence and retention in engineering courses continue to be a challenge in undergraduate education, especially for students underrepresented in engineering disciplines. The program's goal was to use peer-facilitated instruction in core engineering courses known to have high attrition rates to retain underrepresented students, especially women, in engineering to diversify and broaden engineering participation. Knowledge generated around using peer-facilitated instruction at two-year colleges can improve underrepresented students' success and participation in engineering across a broad range of institutions. Students in the program participated in peer-facilitated recitation sessions linked to fundamental engineering courses, such as engineering analysis, statics, and dynamics. These courses have the highest failure rate among women and underrepresented minority students. As a mixed-methods evaluation study, student engagement was measured as students' comfort with asking questions, collaboration with peers, and applying mathematics concepts. SPSS was used to analyze pre-and post-surveys for statistical significance. Qualitative data were collected through classroom observations and focus group sessions with recitation leaders. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with faculty members and students to understand their experiences in the program. Findings revealed that women students had marginalization and intimidation perceptions primarily from courses with significantly more men than women. However, they shared numerous strategies that could support them towards success through the engineering pathway. Women and underrepresented students perceived that they did not have a network of peers and faculty as role models to identify within engineering disciplines. The recitation sessions had a positive social impact on Hispanic women. As opportunities to collaborate increased, Hispanic womens' social engagement was expected to increase. This social engagement level has already been predicted to increase women students' persistence and retention in engineering and result in them not leaving the engineering pathway. An analysis of quantitative survey data from students in the three engineering courses revealed a significant effect of race and ethnicity for comfort in asking questions in class, collaborating with peers outside the classroom, and applying mathematical concepts. Further examination of this effect for comfort with asking questions in class revealed that comfort asking questions was driven by one or two extreme post-test scores of Asian students. A follow-up ANOVA for this item revealed that Asian women reported feeling excluded in the classroom. However, it was difficult to determine whether these differences are stable given the small sample size for students identifying as Asian. Furthermore, gender differences were significant for comfort in communicating with professors and peers. Overall, women reported less comfort communicating with their professors than men. Results from student metrics will inform faculty professional development efforts to increase faculty support and maximize student engagement, persistence, and retention in engineering courses at community colleges. Summative results from this project could inform the national STEM community about recitation support to further improve undergraduate engineering learning and educational research.

DiGrande, Laura, Sue Pedrazzani, Elizabeth Kinyara, Melanie Hymes, Shawn Karns, Donna Rhodes, and Alanna Moshfegh. Field Interviewer– Administered Dietary Recalls in Participants’ Homes: A Feasibility Study Using the US Department of Agriculture’s Automated Multiple-Pass Method. RTI Press, May 2021. http://dx.doi.org/10.3768/rtipress.2021.mr.0045.2105.

Abstract:
Objective: The purpose of this study was to assess the feasibility of administering the Automated Multiple-Pass Method (AMPM), a widely used tool for collecting 24-hour dietary recalls, in participants’ homes by field interviewers. Design: The design included computer-assisted personal interviews led by either a nutritionist (standard) or field interviewer. Portion estimators tested were a set of three-dimensional food models (standard), a two-dimensional food model booklet, or a tablet with digital images rendered via augmented reality. Setting: Residences in central North Carolina. Participants: English-speaking adults. Pregnant women and individuals who were fasting were excluded. Results: Among 133 interviews, most took place in living rooms (52%) or kitchens (22%). Mean interview time was 40 minutes (range 13–90), with no difference by interviewer type or portion estimator, although timing for nutritionist-led interviews declined significantly over the study period. Forty-five percent of participants referenced items from their homes to facilitate recall and portion estimation. Data entry and post-interview coding was evaluated and determined to be consistent with requirements for the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey. Values for the number of food items consumed, food groups, energy intake (average of 3,011 kcal for men and 2,105 kcal for women), and key nutrients were determined to be plausible and within reasonably expected ranges regardless of interviewer type or portion estimator used. Conclusions: AMPM dietary recall interviews conducted in the home are feasible and may be preferable to clinical administration because of comfort and the opportunity for participants to access home items for recall. AMPMs administered by field interviewers using the food model booklet produced credible nutrition data that was comparable to AMPMs administered by nutritionists. Training field interviewers in dietary recall and conducting home interviews may be sensible choices for nutrition studies when response rates and cost are concerns.

Mobility for All the Link between Gender and Urban Mass Transit: Synopsis. Inter-American Development Bank, September 2014. http://dx.doi.org/10.18235/0006022.

Abstract:
Urban mass transit systems should benefit men and women equally, but men and women often have different needs, priorities, and vulnerabilities. For example, women are more likely than men to make multiple stops, to be carrying packages or child-related items, and to be accompanied by children.More than men, they value flexibility over speed, affordable fares, comfort, good lighting, and safety. Systems must take those differences into account if they are to be as useful, accessible, and safe for women as they are for men.
