사람들은 본능적으로 편리한 것을 좋아 한다. 인류문명의 발달이 보다 편리함을 지향하는 인간의 욕구에 의해 발달되었다 해도 과언이 아닐 것이다. 지금 이 순간에도 첨단 산업 기술력들이 인간을 보다 편리하게 하기 위해 촌각의 경쟁을 벌리고 있다. 우리 일상에 밀접한 세탁의 경우도 마찬가지이다. 사람의 노동력에 의존하던 세탁은 이제는 문명의 이기인 세탁기로 거의 대체되어 버렸다. 세탁기는 인간의 노동력을 대신한 탓에 산업적으로 큰 성장을 하였고, 보다 편리하고 신속한 방향으로 계속 진화되어 간다. 이러한 시류 속에 셀프 세탁 전문점 사업도 맥을 같이 한다. 세탁을 보다 편리하고 신속하게 할 수 있는 수단으로서 소비자 니즈를 충족시키며 새로운 틈새시장을 찾으려 한다. 그런데 과연 집에서 하는 세탁보다 외부에서 하는 세탁이 편리할 수 있을까? 사업성공을 위해 중요한 점은 셀프 세탁이 장소적 이동의 번거로움을 극복할 만큼의 메리트를 반드시 제공해야 한다는 점이다. 가정 내 세탁 문화를 매장 문화로 전환시키기 위한 도전은 이런 점에서 획기적이다. 이 과감한 시도가 과연 틈새시장으로서 자리매김할 지는 미지수. 하지만 사업주체인 코리아핫픽스는 사업성공에 대한 자신감을 가지고 있다. 셀프 코인세탁 문화도 얼마든지 큰 파급력을 가질 수 있다고 낙관하고 있는 것. 궁금하지 않을 수 없는 신조류사업으로서 가능성, 그 실체는 무엇인가.

This study set out to identify the problems with hat labels and to search for improvement measures by examining and analyzing consumers' practice of managing their hats. It also intended to provide accurate and enough information about how to keep and wash hats and thus help consumers use their hats for a long period. In an attempt to investigate how consumers wash and manage their hats, a survey was carried out to 395 individuals in their twenties and over who owned hats living in urban areas including Seoul, and were quota sampled according to age and gender. The survey period is March to April 2007. The collected data were statistically treated with the SPSS 12.0 program in terms of frequency, percentage, mean, standard error, cross tabulation, t-test, and one-way ANOVA. The findings were as followed. First, the respondents were in the average level of perceiving and practicing the washing methods of their hats. The female respondents who had more experiences with laundering than the males knew and practiced the washing methods for hats better than males. Second, compared to other clothing items, hat wearers were more likely to pay careful attention to their hats by putting their hats in a laundry net and applying a laundry detergent for wool fabrics when using a washing machine or washing their hats with their own hands. And third, most of the hat wearers were aware of the importance of hat labels and showed a lower level of trust in them than other clothing items. The suppliers need to offer accurate and practical labels in order to regain the consumers' trust. Many consumers had some difficulties figuring out the size system of hats. In particular, the male consumers had a low level of perception of labels, which implies that there should be specific efforts to educate them about general labels.

Objectives: The purpose of the study is to investigate the uniform management of the dental hygienists in Korea. Methods: The study was carried out by direct telephone survey to dental gygienists in Gangneung, Wonju, and Seongnam from March 15 to April 10, 2015. The subjects were seventy dental clinics by random sampling. The questionnaire consisted of general characteristics of the subjects(4 items), infection control education(3 items), and infection control activity(9 items). Cronbach's alpha was 0.781 in the study. After informed consent from the dental hygienists, the survey was done by telephone. Data were analyzed by SPSS 21.0 program. Results: The dental hygienists taking infection control education tended to wash the uniforms twice a week (${\chi}^2$=15.95, p<001). The majority of the dental hygienists thought that the best washing place of uniform would be dental clinics than any other place (${\chi}^2$=38.76, p<001). Conclusions: It is very important to implement the infection control education for the dental hygienists. The establishment of standard guideline for infection control of the uniform washing will enhance the dental service quality and satisfaction of the dental service consumers.

The relation among the variables of dental hygienists' both personal protection and infection prevention education was investigated in order to identify the necessity of realization of personal protection and utilize in the development of educational programs. The study tools included structured questionnaire and in-home interview. Data analysis included frequency and t-test, and the relations among the variables were as below: (1) Dental hygienist's maskwearing was most well observed in Kyonggi-do (90.0%) by locations, and in the dental hospitals (84.8%) by working places, which was statistically significant. (2) Glove-wearing was most well observed in the university and the higher graduates population (59.1%) by academic background, and in the dental hospital (73.9%) by working place, which was statistically significant. (3) Protection glasses-wearing was most well observed in Guns, Ups, and Myons (82.4%) by locations, which was statistically significant. (4) Uniforms were hand-laundered at home in the 40.9% of the university and the higher graduates, which was statistically significant. (5) About infection management, 67.0% of 2-year college graduates and 71.7% of the respondents from dental hospitals had been educated during their college days, which was statistically significant. (6) About the necessity of infection education, 77.3% of the university graduates responded it is very necessary, which was statistically significant.

This experiment was conducted to evaluate effects of various periods of rye silage feeding on the growth performance, blood characteristics, and carcass quality of finishing pigs. A total of sixteen [($Landrace{\times}Yorkshire{\times}Duroc$)] pigs (90.26 kg in average initial body weight) were tested in individual cages for a 30 day period. Dietary treatments included 1) CON (basal diet), 2) S10 (basal diet for 20 days and 3% rye silage for 10 days) 3) S20 (basal diet for 10 days and 3% rye silage for 20 days) and 4) S30 (3% rye silage for 30 days). There were no significant differences in the ADG and gain/feed ratio among the treatments(p>0.05), however the ADFI was higher in pigs fed the CON diet than with pigs fed diets with rye silage (p<0.05). The DM digestibility was higher with the S20 diet than with the S30 diet (p<0.05). With regard to blood characteristics, pigs fed rye silage had a significantly reduced cortisol concentration compared to pigs fed the CON diet (p<0.05). The backfat thickness was higher with the CON diet than with the S20 or S30 diets (p<0.05). Regarding the fatty acid contents of the leans, the C18:0 and total SFA were significantly higher with the CON diet than with the other diets (p<0.05). However, the C18:1n9, total MUFA and UFA/SFA levels were significantly lower with the CON diet than the other diets (p<0.05). Regarding the fatty acid contents of fat, the levels of C18:1n9 and MUFA were similar with the S20 and S30 diets, however, these levels were higher than with the CON or S10 diets (p<0.05). In conclusion, feed intake and DM digestibility were affected by rye silage, and the cortisol concentration, backfat thickness and fatty acid composition of pork were positively affected by feeding pigs rye silage.
