The global immigration of people has increased the call by governments for multicultural education. Across the globe, in country after country, multicultural education have come to represent the theory and practice to teach majority and minority citizens and immigrants and to explore issues of policy and practice as it relates to: ethnicity, religion, gender, immigration, language and race. This article is concerned with the approach to multicultural education that the South Korean government has employed to meet the needs of its people and those of immigrants and South Korean citizens. Using framework of "politics of difference" and five different approaches of multicultural education discussed by Grant and Sleeter, the article examines how South Korea's multicultural education policy treats new comers as "different." This article argues the significance of movement from a discourse about cultural difference to multicultural social justice education that challenge oppression and structural inequality and illuminate the politics of difference.

Total measurement uncertainty (TMU) is a commonly used key performance indicator (KPI) for tool-induced error in metrology systems. Several definitions of TMU are being used today for overlay metrology (OVL), with the leading definition being the root-sum-square (RSS) of three other KPIs: the wafer mean Tool Induces Shift (TIS𝜇), the wafer variability of TIS (TIS3σ), and the OVL measurement reproducibility (OVL precision). A multitude of TIS management methods has been developed and implemented over the years for calibrating out the raw TIS from OVL. With these TIS management methods in place, the use of the raw TISμ and TIS3σ in TMU no longer serves as a good characterization of the total tool-induced error. In this paper, we describe a procedure for evaluating the actual, post-TIS management, OVL Metrology TMU through the introduction of two new wafer level indicators: the effective wafer means TIS (eTISμ), and the effective wafer TIS variability (eTIS3σ).

Asian Americans are gaining attention as an important consumer group. Asian American consumption is a complicated phenomenon that reflects both the desires and the needs of this diverse population. Owing to the large number of Asian Americans from immigrant backgrounds, their consumption is influenced by connections with their countries of origin. Asian American youths are active consumers of transnational cultural products and their consumption leads to the blending of cultural forms.
