Urinary Incontinence is any leakage of urine against their will. It is not a life threatening illness but it causes negative effects both socially and psychologically. Based on many previous studies, 20-40% of adult female and 30% of men in their sixties have experienced symptoms of urinary incontinence. As the number of active aged people experiencing the symptoms increases, demand for specialized product is growing. The purpose of the study is to research the types and features of male disposable products for urinary incontinence on the market and to provide the basic data for improvement and development of better product. Products from 6 brands (Tena, Depend, Carnation, Keepers, Molimed, Abrimen) with high brand awareness both in online and offline were selected and analyzed. And product evaluation was carried out by male in their sixties with light symptom of urinary incontinence. The results are as follows. There are three types of male products for urinary incontinence: panties, diaper and pad. Among the 6 brands, the subject of analysis, only Depend from Yuhan Kimberly produces male panties while others make ones for unisex. There is no diaper product only for male, and Tena, Molimed, Abrimen have pad type products for male. Male panties from Depend emphasizes their design considering male's physical characteristics. Male pad is differentiated with female one by having different designs like triangular or pocket type which is more comforting to men. As a result of product evaluation, wearable panties similar to normal underwear were highly appreciated and satisfactory. Among various shapes of pads, 25cm long pad with wide width of front and narrow back was valued to be comfortable.

Fifteen types of rice collected from Kurdistan region-Iraq were investigated by principal component analysis (PCA) in terms of physical properties and cooking characteristics. The dimensions of evaluated grains correspond to 5.05-8.75 mm for length, 1.54-2.47 mm for width, and 1.37-1.95 for thickness. The equivalent diameter was in the range of 5.23-10.03 mm, and the area took 13.30-28.25 mm². The sphericity analysis values varied from 0.32 to 0.56, the aspect ratio from 0.17 to 0.39, and the volume of the grain was measured in the range from 4.48 to 17.74 mm³, hectoliter weight values were 730-820 kg/m³, and true density from 0.6 to 0.96 g/cm³. The broken grain ratio was 1.5-18.3%, thousand kernel weight corresponded to 15.88 to 22.42 g. The water uptake ratios for 30 min of soaking were increased at 60℃ compared to 30 and 45℃. The PCA was used to study the correlation of the most effective factors. Results of PCA showed that the first (PC1) and second (PC2) components retained 63.4% and 34.8% of the total variance, which PC1 was mostly related to hectoliter, broken ratio, and moisture content characteristics while PC2 was mostly concerned with hardness and true density. For cooking properties, the PC1 and PC2 retained 88.5% and 9.3% of the total variance, respectively. PC1 was mostly related to viscosity, spring value, and hardness after cooking, while PC2 was mostly concerned with spring value, hardness before cooking, and hardness after cooking.

This study analyzed the fabric and product size of the burn patient's custom compression garment and measured the pressure applied by the garment to assess whether proper pressure is being delivered for treatment. The test clothes were presented to the market by body size and commissioned with the same design. The subjects selected four people close to the average body size of men in their 20s determined by 7th Size Korea. The experiment was conducted by wearing a compression suit, performing activities and measuring changes in the pressure of the garment according to changes in posture. The fabric used for the compressive clothing was not ruptured even at 216 kPa, the elasticity recovery rate was measured between 80.5 and 94.5%. The product dimensions of the experimental clothing varied by up to 8cm from brand to brand, requiring the standardization of compression clothing. The experiment showed that four types of compression suit varied in pressure, and the pressure range, excluding the gastric arm (17.9mmHg), was between 2.5-14.1mmHg, which failed to meet the level of pressurization for treatment purposes. The clothing pressure in the chest area dropped when performing movements rather than standing still. This was interpreted to be a result of reduced the adhesion of the compression suit during operation. The peak pressure (31.68mmHg) and the lowest pressure (2.2mmHg) was noted in the scapula, indicating that no pressure was being transmitted on the vertebrae. The pressure of the garment on the right shoulder blade was elevated in a supine position. Because much time is spent laying down, it is necessary for the pattern design to accommodate for the increased clothing pressure on the shoulder blades. Standardization of the level of pressurization for burn patient's custom-made pressure suits for each stage of treatment is urgently required.

결구상추는 급식업체에서 로컬리즘을 바탕으로 한 요구로 인해, 국내 생산품의 주년 공급이 필요하다. 그러나 하절기에 고온과 강우로 인해 적절한 결구상추의 공급이 원활하지 않다. 따라서 결구상추를 지속적으로 미리 저장하여, 출하가 어려울 때도 원활하게 공급하고자 하였다. 본 연구에서는 포장 및 저장방법에 따라 결구상추를 관행적으로 수확하여 PP플라스틱 농산물 유통상자에 단순 저장과, 결구상추의 줄기(경정) 10 cm 이상 남겨 부직포에 감싸서 저장, 상자에 농산물 식품 포장재인 LDPE 미세천공 필름을 덮어 저장하였으며, 또한 개별적으로 LLD-PE 포장재로 랩 포장하여 저장하였으며, 저장 온도는 $2^{\circ}C$에서 수행하였다. 저장 후의 포장 방법별 외관품위 및 생체중 감소에서는 개별적으로 랩 포장한 것이 21일까지의 단기적 저장에서 가장 좋았으며, 줄기를 보존하여 저장한 것, 상자에 필름 외피복, 무포장 저장 순이었다. 따라서 결구상추는 단기저장 시에 개별적인 포장 저장(저장방법 C)이 저장 3주까지 비교적 선도가 좋아, 결구상추의 단경기 원활한 공급을 위해 보급 가능한 기술로 보인다. 줄기를 물올림하면서 보존하는 방법(저장방법 D)은 재배방법과 연계하여 방법을 개선한다면, 새로운 저장방법으로 강구(講究)될 수 있을 것으로 예상된다. 결구상추의 단경기 공급을 위해서 생산이 어려운 시기에 포장과 저장방법을 개선함으로써 수급조절에 원활히 할 수 있는 가능성을 확인하였으나, 보다 선도를 유지하기 위해서는 국내 생산될 저장과 유통여건에 맞춘 추후의 연구가 더 필요할 것으로 생각된다.
