  • This study was conducted to examine the effect of children's dietary quality, dietary habits, food behavior and health-related lifestyles according to the mother's lifestyles of health and sustainability (LOHAS). The subjects were 580 children. Mother's LOHAS attitude index was 66.85 points and 100 points was a perfect score. The mother's high LOHAS attitude items that children perceived were "My mother often communicates with the family"(3.99 points) and "My mother thinks that the family's health is more important than her health"(3.93 points). In contrast, the LOHAS attitude items for "My mother does community service activity on weekends"(2.78 points), and "My mother participates in environmental protection service activity for the local community"(2.78 points) were very low. The high LOHAS behavior index of mothers was "resource saving", whereas "social welfare" scored low. When self-perceived health status and monthly income of children was high, the mother's LOHAS score was high. The LOHAS attitude index of mothers had a meaningful impact on the children's dietary quality, dietary habits, food behavior and health-related lifestyles. The most frequent food behavior variables were "high skipping rate", "frequency of snacks is 2~4 times per week", "speed of eating is rapid", and 'meals' amount is sufficient. The highest daily life habits item was "I try to maintain a pleasant and enjoyable life style"(3.42 points). The highest nutrient intake attitude score was "I tend to eat rice everyday."(3.41 points). They were highly recognized with "moderate physical activity", "high exercise preference", "positive posture exercise", "exercise <2 days per week", and "over 30 minutes exercise time per day" for the exercise performance status items. It was verified that the higher mother's LOHAS lifestyle score is, the higher children's food behavior, daily life habits, nutrient intake, exercise performance state score are.

  • 본 연구는 개인이 지닌 인지편향이 지각된 위험 및 창업기회평가와 어떤 연관성이 있는지를 알아보고, 창업집단에 따라 인지편향과 창업효능감이 창업기회를 다르게 평가하는지를 분석하는 것이다. 본 연구를 통해 대학생을 위한 창업교육의 개선점을 찾고, 현직의 창업가가 행하는 의사결정과정에서 어떤 문제점이 있으며 개선 가능성이 있는지를 제시하고자 한다. 대학생과 창업가를 대상으로 설문을 실시하였으며, 총 363명의 설문 데이터를 기반으로 구조방정식모형을 통해 실증하였다. 연구분석 결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 인지편향과 지각된 위험은 유의적인 부의 관계를 가지며, 구체적으로 인지편향 중 과잉자신감과 통제착각은 지각된 위험과 부(-)의 유의적 관계를 가지는 것으로 분석되었다. 둘째로, 인지편향은 기회평가와 유의한 정(+)의 관계가 있으며 구체적으로 통제착각과 현상유지편향과 유의한 정(+)의 관계를 가지는 것으로 분석되었다. 셋째, 지각된 위험은 기회평가와 유의한 부(-)의 관계가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 넷째, 대학생과 창업가집단을 나누어 살펴본 창업집단간의 차이를 살펴보면 창업효능감이 지각된 위험과 기회평가 사이에서 조절효과를 하고 있다는 것을 대학생집단에서는 확인할 수 있으나, 창업가집단에서는 유의미한 결과를 발견하지 못했다. 또한 대학생집단과 창업가집단은 다른 인지편향을 가지고 있으며, 지각된 위험을 매개로 창업기회평가에 다르게 관계가 있음을 실증하였다. 불확실한 상황에서 판단을 해야 하는 예비 창업가인 대학생과 기존 창업가에게는 시간적인 압박, 또는 스트레스를 원인으로 발생하는 서로 다른 인지편향이 존재하며, 이런 편향의 존재를 인정하고 스스로 자신의 판단을 개선하는 노력을 해야 한다는 점을 확인하였다. 대학생은 높은 창업효능감을 기반으로 새로운 기회에 대한 긍정적인 시각을 지닐 수 있지만, 창업교육을 통해 창업이 가지고 있는 본질적인 위험에 대한 철저한 지각과 함께 직접적인 창업경험에 존재하는 인지편향을 충분히 이해한다면 과거보다 좋은 기회평가를 하게 될 수 있다는 점이다. 본 연구는 대학생과 창업가를 통합하여 실증하였다는 점과 제한된 방식의 임의추출법에 의해 설문응답자를 선정하였다는 점에서 한계를 가진다. 두 번째로 선행연구에서 사용한 측정도구를 번역하여 사용하였으며, 언어 문제로 측정도구의 명확한 의미가 전달되지 않을 수도 있다. 연구의 정확성을 위해 보다 정밀한 척도를 구성할 필요가 있을 것이다.

  • In recent years, LEED-NC (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design for New Construction) has become one of the most widely adopted environmental certification systems in the United States. However, according to some researchers, the adoption of the LEED-NC is perceived to add to construction cost and duration compared to conventional building standards. Therefore, it is necessary to examine the economic benefits of LEED-NC to consider how it can be applied worldwide. This study focuses on the impact of LEED-NC on the appraised unit value of parcels in San Francisco County based on the number of LEED-NC Public Transportation Access (PTA) qualified buses, light rail and commuter rail stops, distance to the closest bus, light rail and commuter rail stops, zoning class and parcel size. As a population of interest, San Francisco County was chosen since it is known as a region with well-organized transportation systems including bus, light rail and commuter rail systems. According to the correlation results, this study shows that the appraised land value is significantly affected by LEED-NC PTA, and is correlated to a higher appraised unit value of land parcels.

Results: Marketing strategies that are mixed with educational theories increase consumer enrolment due to perceived usefulness, and this implies that an adequate marketing model could help improve sustainability and income as a result of enrollment in private educational institutions. The research also identified that marketing is connected to psychology and that marketers can exploit educational and psychological theories to increase successful enrolment in private educational institutions. Conclusions: Most importantly, the target market for private educational institutions is diverse, and institutions can use direct marketing to appeal to specific audiences. Also, the research implies that diversification strategies can increase enrolment if marketers exploit behavioral learning theories in the marketing process.

  • The main goal of this research is to understand how small and medium enterprises (SMEs) owners in Oman perceive the factors that drive or impede their growth and sustainability. Based on survey data of 395 SMEs in Oman, factor analysis was conducted to check if all the items load as one factor in each of the constructs. The results show that all the items measuring motivators and barriers loaded significantly for the respective scales, with high reliability (Cronbach alpha for Motivators = 0.991 and Barriers = 0.995). Relationships between the demographic factors of entrepreneurs and firm characteristics were tested and it was found that all the four variables: age of the entrepreneur (p = 0.00), qualification of the entrepreneur (p = 0.00), SME sector (p = 0.00), and age of the firm (p = 0.00) have a significant relationship with both the Motivators and the Barriers. The findings of this study could have significant implications for policymakers in Oman and other Middle Eastern countries. Since SMEs face similar problems and are given priority around the world, the findings could be applicable to other countries, as well. The findings also add important results to the empirical literature on SMEs.

  • Makerspace offers an innovative way for university libraries to render services and achieve its core objectives. However, there is low level of adoption in Nigerian university libraries, hence the need to investigate the personnel's perception towards makerspace as an innovative learning platform. To achieve this, the descriptive research design was used to elicit data with the aid of a structured questionnaire, from the 96 library personnel in John Harris Library, University of Benin. Of the 96 copies of questionnaire distributed, 68 copies were returned and analyzed using descriptive statistics. The results showed that the library personnel were familiar with makerspace even though they still require more information about it. Also, that makerspace gives students the opportunity to acquire ew skill and enhances collaboration among learners. Moreover, the study revealed that budget constraints, high cost and maintenance of equipments, erratic power supply and lack of staff training are some of the perceived challenges to makerspace implementation. Consequently, the study revealed that university libraries should strategize on how to increase allocation of funds, organize makerspace webinar for personnel, ensure stable electricity supply and create a dedicated space for makerspace in the library. In conclusion, makerspace will provide students with the technological exposure and creative abilities required for the future, and as such effective planning should be made for its deployment and sustainability in Nigerian university libraries.
