"This book examines the transformation and the dynamic reconfiguration of borders within Korea through inter/trans-disciplinary approaches. The book offers a comprehensive synthesis for the changing geo-political, cultural, and economic dynamics among Korea's diasporas by applying the theme of "diasporas within homeland" as a theoretical lens. While diaspora remains a central theoretical perspective (often highlighting "out of home" experiences), the volume turns its gaze inward, "within homeland," to trace internal displacement, mobility, and diversity in Korea. In addition, this volume brings diverse scholarly traditions, which bridge diaspora with wide ranges of theoretical lenses and methodological approaches, such as intercultural sensitivity and adaptation, acculturation, ideology critique, alienation, national memory, and postcolonialism. The book further explores the possibilities of coalition-building between/among diverse communities. As a study of the notion of Korean identity and citizenship, this book will be of huge interest to students and scholars of Korean society and culture, Asian diasporas, cultural anthropology and ethnicity"--

BACKGROUND: Drinking water contamination related to the use of aqueous film-forming foam (AFFF) has been documented at hundreds of military bases, airports, and firefighter training facilities. AFFF has historically contained high levels of long-chain per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), which pose serious health concerns. However, the composition and toxicity of legacy AFFF mixtures are unknown, presenting great uncertainties in risk assessment and affected communities. OBJECTIVES: This study aimed to determine the fluorinated and nonfluorinated chemical composition of a legacy AFFF sample and its toxicity in zebrafish embryos. METHODS: A sample of legacy AFFF (3% application formulation, manufactured before 2001) was provided by the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection. High resolution mass spectrometry (HRMS) was used to identify PFAS and nonfluorinated compounds, and a commercial laboratory measured 24 PFAS by a modified U.S. EPA Method 537.1. AFFF toxicity was assessed in zebrafish embryos in comparison with four major constituents: perfluorooctanesulfonic acid (PFOS); perfluorohexanesulfonic acid (PFHxS); sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS); and sodium tetradecyl sulfate (TDS). End points included [Formula: see text] values, and sublethal effects on growth, yolk utilization, and pancreas and liver development. RESULTS: We identified more than 100 PFAS. Of the PFAS detected, PFOS was measured at the highest concentration ([Formula: see text]) followed by PFHxS ([Formula: see text]). Fourteen nonfluorinated compounds were identified with dodecyl sulfate and tetradecyl sulfate the most abundant at 547.8 and [Formula: see text] , respectively. An [Formula: see text] of [Formula: see text] AFFF was calculated, representing a dilution of the 3% formulation. TDS was the most toxic of the constituents tested but could not predict the AFFF phenotype in larval zebrafish. PFOS exposure recapitulated the reduction in length but could not predict effects on development of the liver, which was the tissue ...
