In this study, we developed a scalp protect powder (scalp irritation abirritant). We proved this powder can lessen sensitivity of skin against diamine dyes (PPD, PTD, etc.) by carrying out safety test and clinical experiments. This scalp protect powder accelerates dyeing process, and reduces not only scalp irritation but also hair damage. Using our optimum formula, ammonia can be caught in liquid-crystalline structure, subsequently, bad odor is reduced dramatically.

The positive effect of percussion instruments can induce increases in self-esteem and decreases in depression in the elderly. Based on this, the content for a percussion instrument robot that the elderly can use to play music is developed. The elements of the interaction between the elderly and the robot through the robot content are extracted. Music that arouses positive memories in the elderly is selected as part of the music therapy robot content in order to relieve depression, and a scoring system for playing music is constructed. In addition, the interaction components of the robot's facial expressions, which stimulate emotions and sensitivity in the elderly, are also designed. These components enable the elderly to take an active part in using the instrument to change the robot's facial expressions, which have three degrees of emotion: neutral-happy, happy, and very happy. The robot is not only a music game machine: it also maximizes the relief of depression in the elderly through interactions with the robot that allow the elderly person to listen to what the robot plays and through the elderly person becoming involved and playing music along with the robot.

The purpose of this study was to review the study design, participants, intervention and its outcomes of studies for post-dura puncture headache using systematic review. Total 4234 studies were searched from 1980 to 2016 years,15 studies were included in final. Total 5239 patients were participated in studies, and 10 RCTs studies and 5 observational studies were included. The findings showed that experimental studies used the 24hr bedrest intervention as a control group for comparing the prevalence of headache with the early ambulation intervention group. The prevalence of headache in ambulation group was lower than 24hr bedrest group (except 2 studies). The high risk methodological bias should be considered when understandings the research findings. Based on this study, meta-analysis study for investigating the proper period of time for bedrest should be performed in further study.

Recentrly, early dental care for children is becoming more important, and the number of children patients' dental services is on the rise. So, a variety of seduction therapies are needed to alleviate the tension in children who are anxious about dental care. This paper describes the development process and contents of system that can display the animation of different stories according to the treatment stage by grasping the use state of the treatment device in real time. In the animation, the hreo character and the villain, the cavity character, appear and the hero defeat the villain at each treatment stage. Animation is played when treatment starts and ends after treatment. Current existing one-side played animation of dental clinics is not enough to attract children's attention. If the flow of animation changes depending on the treatment process, it will give children a different enjoyment and consequently ease the tension over the treatment.

This study was aimed to analyze the changes in rheological properties of sausages added tenderizer made with over-matured used-up fruits such as kiwifruit, grape, and pear. The tenderizers were manufactured by various concentration of fruit extract and added to the sausage at different heating temperatures. Failure stress and stress relaxation of beef sausage mixed with different tenderizers were measured with Rheometer, and analyzed with 3-element Maxwell model. As a result of the rheological measurements, over-matured kiwifruit extract showed the best tenderness effect among other fruit extracts, and the more kiwi contents were added, the beef texture turned to softer. The instantaneous stress and elastic component of beef mixed with various tenderizers were decreased at higher concentrations and lower heating temperatures. This study was well expressed the numerical magnitude of viscoelastic components of beef sausages to determine the tenderizer effect.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of skate skin collagen peptide (SCP) according to its molecular weight (<1,000 Da or >1,000 Da) which was divided using the ultrafilatration method. The 200 mg/kg collagen peptide was administrated to obesity-induced db/db mice for 8 weeks. As the results, in collagen peptide-treated groups, body weight gain was decreased, the plasma and hepatic concentration of reactive oxygen species decreased and oxidative stress was alleviated. In addition, SCP-treated group showed the significant reduction of the protein expressions of nuclear transcription factors($NF-{\kappa}B$), enzymes(COX2, iNOS), and inflammatory cytokine(IL-6) in hepatic tissue, compared with those of the obese control group. There was a slight difference depending on the molecular weight of collagen peptide, but overall it was not significant. Therefore, SCP effectively inhibited the obesity-induced inflammatory response through attenuation of oxidative stress in the liver.

This study aims to examine the direct effects of two workplace spirituality dimensions, community at work and meaning in work, and burnout on three caring dimensions, emotional, social and spiritual care, for terminally ill people. It also seeks to examine the moderating effect of burnout in the relationship between two workplace spirituality dimensions and three caring dimensions. For these purposes, data were collected from 114 interdisciplinary team members, doctors, nurses, social workers and pastors, working in 68 palliative care in nationwide by questionnaires. The study results indicated that community at work has a positive effect on emotional care, and that meaning in work has a positive effect on social and spiritual care. The results also provided that burnout does not impact on three caring dimensions and has no moderating effect in the relationship between two workplace spirituality dimensions and three caring dimensions. In the findings, managers or leaders from palliative care should consider the potentially positive influence of workplace spirituality on caring for terminally ill people and can improve practitioners' performance with any interventions to increase workplace spirituality. The limitations of this study and recommendations for the future research were discussed.

Relief of thermal stress has received great attention, to improve the beam quality and stability of high-power laser diodes. In this paper, we investigate a microtrench structure engraved around a laser-diode chip-on-submount (CoS) to relieve the thermal stress on a laser-diode bar (LD-bar), using the SolidWorks® software. First, we systematically analyze the thermal stress on the LD-bar CoS with a metal heat-sink holder, and then derive an optimal design for thermal stress relief according to the change in microtrench depth. The thermal stress of the front part of the LD-bar CoS, which is the main cause of the "smile effect", is reduced to about 1/5 of that without the microtrench structure, while maintaining the thermal resistance.

An insider's information security incidents continue to occur, there is a growing demand for strengthening information security within the organization. However, when strict information security policies and rules are applied to employees of the organization, it can result as an information security stress and resistance behavior. The purpose of this study is to suggest the causes of insiders' negative information security behavior and factors that mitigate the cause. In particular, the study identifies how the mutual influence of individual (psychological empowerment) and organizational (justice climate) factors mitigates negative behavior. In this study, a sample was obtained by surveying workers of organizations that reflect information security policies to insiders, and hypothesis testing was performed by structural equation modeling. As a result of the analysis, role stress had a partial mediating effect on the effect of psychological empowerment on security policy resistance, and the justice climate strengthened the effect of psychological empowerment. Our results suggest a direction for reducing insider information security policy resistance, so it helps to establish a strategy for achieving internal information security goals.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the factors influencing poverty in the elderly under the income maintenance, focusing on labor. Accordingly, a Panel Logit Analysis was conducted based on the 7th to 16th data of the Korean Welfare Panel. The analysis results are as follows. First, even if demographic, economic, and health variables affecting elderly poverty are controlled, National Pension and Special Occupational Pension among the income maintenance are negatively related to elderly poverty. On the other hand, it was found that the amount of Basic Pension and National Basic Living Security were positively related to poverty for the elderly. Second, it was found that if the elderly receiving national basic living security work, there is a high possibility of poverty. This raises the need to restructuring the Basic Pension, and suggests that it is necessary to combine the National Basic Living Security with the elderly job policy. Finally, in order to alleviate overall elderly poverty, it is suggested to rebuild the multi-pillar old-age income security system, including Basic Pension and Retirement Pension.
