Purpose: This study examined the mediation effects of dietary habits, nutrient intake, daily life in the relationship between the working hours of Korean shift workers and metabolic syndrome. Methods: Data were collected from the sixth (2013-2015) Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (KNHANES). The stochastic regression imputation was used to fill missing data. Statistical analysis was performed in Korean shift workers with metabolic syndrome using the SPSS 24 program for Windows and a structural equation model (SEM) using an analysis of moment structure (AMOS) 21.0 package. Results: The model fitted the data well in terms of the goodness of fit index (GFI) = 0.939, root mean square error of approximation (RMSEA) = 0.025, normed fit index (NFI) = 0.917, Tucker-Lewis index (TLI) = 0.984, comparative fit index (CFI) = 0.987, and adjusted goodness of fit index (AGFI) = 0.915. Specific mediation effect of dietary habits (p = 0.023) was statistically significant in the impact of the working hours of shift workers on nutrient intake, and specific mediation effect of daily life (p = 0.019) was statistically significant in the impact of the working hours of shift workers on metabolic syndrome. On the other hand, the dietary habits, nutrient intake and daily life had no significant multiple mediator effects on the working hours of shift workers with metabolic syndrome. Conclusion: The appropriate model suggests that working hours have direct effect on the daily life, which has the mediation effect on the risk of metabolic syndrome in shift workers.

To investigate and analyze the influence of trust on consumer satisfaction in rice cake cafe menus using domestically grown food ingredients, this study divided selection attributes of rice cake cafe menus into safety, nutrition, ethicality and marketability through an exploratory factor analysis and analyzed reliability and correlation among these variables. As a result, these four factors were adopted as selection factors, and the results of the correlation analysis among the variables showed that the four factors were statistically correlated with trust and customer satisfaction. The result of validity and reliability testing on consumer trust showed that the menus were reliable and trustworthy as they had been made using domestically grown agricultural products. Analysis of how cafe selection attributes affect trust showed that the these variables had a significantly positive influence on trust in the order of safety, marketability, nutrition, and ethicality. The influence of the selection attributes on customer satisfaction was statistically significant, and the independent variables had a significantly positive influence on trust in the order of marketability, ethicality, safety, and nutrition. In verifying the mediation effect of trust on customer satisfaction, the four factors of rice cake cafe selection attributes had statistically significant mediation effects.

The purpose of this study is to observe the influence mother's pro-environmental consumption behavior have on the adolescents' environment-friendly attitudes and adolescents' pro-environmental consumption behavior. Also by examining the variable relation, the study scopes out the effectiveness of environmental experience. For the analysis, high school students in Korea were gathered from online and multiple regression analysis, and Baron and Kenny mediation analysis were conducted among a total of 521 surveys. The main findings are as follows: First, mother's pro-environmental consumption behavior were proven to be essential factors that have influence on the adolescents' environment-friendly attitudes. Second, mother's pro-environmental consumption behavior were proven to be essential factors that have influence on the adolescents' pro-environmental consumption behavior. Third, mediating effect of adolescents' environment-friendly attitudes was verified in the relationship between mother's and adolescent's pro-environmental consumption behavior. The findings suggest the importance of adolescents' environment-friendly attitudes and improve adolescent's pro-environmental consumption behavior by having practice mother's pro-environmental consumption behavior.

This study examined influences of work-family conflict on husband-to-wife battering and explored the mediating effects of stress between work-family conflict and wife battering. Subjects were 293 male violence offenders sampled from 65 domestic violence counseling centers nationally. Both directions of conflict between. work and family, work-to-family interference (WIF) and family-to-work interference (FIW), were proven to be significantly influential on wife battering and stress. Work-to-family interference did not have direct influence on wife battering but indicated a complete mediation effect of stress. On the other hand, family-to-work interference implied a partial mediation effect of stress, with both direct and indirect influences on wife battering. Based on these findings, the research discussion was extended to include the implication of an intervention that would decrease husband-to-wife battering.

2,4,6-Trinitrotoluene(TNT) was reduced into intermediate products by mixed culture incubated in anaerobic condition. To test the effects of extracellular material to electron transfer between sulfide and TNT, filtered medium of mixed culture was loaded in the test tubes with TNT and sulfide. The transformation rate was measured under four different conditions. The rate under microbial activity was the fastest among under different conditions. With sulfide or filtrate alone and TNT, the reactions were measured as the slowest reactions or no reactions occured, respectively. The reaction rate coefficient were calculated by linear regression and the first order kinetic was fitted best. Also, the plot of rate coefficients (K$_{f}$) showed linear relationships when at time zero TNT and sulfide concentration were 20 mg/1 and 6.0 mM, respectively. By extrapolation, reaction rate coefficient of 100% filtrate could be calculated as 0.0054/minute. However, reaction rate was affected by different concentration of sulfide, so it is a dependent of sulfide concentration. The results of this test showed TNT reduction rate can be limited more by microbial reaction than by mediation of filtrate or sulfide and filtrate alone.
