  • 조절부합은 개인의 조절초점 성향과 평가 및 판단 전략이 지닌 조절초점이 서로 일치할 때 일어난다. 본 연구에서는 평가 및 의사결정의 영역이 유발하는 조절초점과 개인의 조절초점간의 부합이 평가에 영향을 미칠 것이라고 가정하고, 향상적 영역으로는 제품 디자인 평가를, 예방적 영역으로는 도덕적 평가를 사용하여 조절부합 효과를 알아보았다. 향상초점과 관련된 영역인 미적 제품에 대한 평가 과제를 사용한 실험 1에서는 향상초점인 사람들이 예방초점인 사람들에 비해 긍정적인 것은 더 긍정적으로, 부정적인 것은 더 부정적으로 평가하였다, F(1, 95) = 4.87, p < .05. 반면 금지와 규범적인 도덕 상황을 사용한 실험 2에서는 금지적 상황에서만 예방초점인 사람들이 향상초점인 사람들에 비해 도덕적으로 옳지 않은 결정에 대해서는 더 비 도덕적인 것으로 평가하였다, F(1, 139) 4.14, p < .05. 반면 규범적 상황에 대한 평가에서는 이러한 조절부합 효과가 나타나지 않았다. 이러한 연구결과는 평가 및 의사결정 영역과 관련해서도 조절부합이 나타날 수 있음을 보여준다.

  • Involvement of a multidisciplinary team in cancer care may have added benefits over the existing system of patient management. A paradigm shift in the current patient management would allow more focus on nutritional support, in addition to clinical care. Malnutrition, a common problem in cancer patients, needs special attention from the early days of cancer care to improve quality of life and treatment outcomes. Patient management teams with trained oncology dietitians may provide quality personalized nutritional care to cancer patients.

  • Cancer prevention is rapidly emerging as a major strategy to reduce cancer mortality. In the field of breast cancer, significant strides have recently been made in the understanding of underlying preventive mechanisms. Currently, three major strategies have been linked to an increase in breast cancer risk: obesity, lack of physical exercise, and high levels of saturated dietary fat. As a result, prevention strategies for breast cancer are usually centered on these lifestyle factors. Unfortunately, there remains controversy regarding epidemiological studies that seek to determine the benefit of these lifestyle changes. We have identified crucial mechanisms that may help clarify these conflicting studies. For example, recent reports with olive oil have demonstrated that it may influence crucial transcription factors and reduce breast tumor aggressiveness by targeting HER2. Similarly, physical exercise reduces sex hormone levels, which may help protect against breast cancer. Obesity promotes tumor cell growth and cell survival through upregulation of leptin and insulin-like growth factors. This review seeks to discuss these underlying mechanisms, and more behind the three major prevention strategies, as a means of understanding how breast cancer can be prevented.

  • The paper reviews the movement in the United States to supplement environmental regulations with volunteer programs that encourage institutions and industry to go beyond compliance to achieve greater reductions in their waste and emissions than might otherwise be accomplished through the exclusive reliance on increasingly rigorous "end of the pipe" regulations. These volunteer programs have as a common element the encouragement of "pollution prevention" as a preferable strategy. Pollution prevention is a term used in the US to describe strategies, technologies, policies, etc. that focus on eliminating waste and emissions at the source rather than just treating and controlling them. In some countries the term "Clean Technologies" is used rather than pollution prevention. In the paper the author reviews selected voluntary programs and reports on accomplishments to date for those programs.

  • Isoflavones are phytoestrogens and natural plant compounds which are similar to 17-${\beta}$-estradiol in chemical structure. It is known that they can act as estrogen agonists or antagonists, depending on endocrine estrogenic levels, but actions of isoflavones are rather complex due to large number of variables such as chemical structures and mechanisms. Some hypotheses on biological mechanisms have not satisfactorily been confirmed to date and human epidemiological and experimental studies have been relatively limited. Nevertheless, isoflavones and isoflavone rich foods have become a focus onf interest due to positive health benefits on many diseases, especially prevention of hormone-related cancers, cardiovascular disease, osteoporosis, and adverse postmenopausal symptoms, and improvement of physiological condition such as maintaining cognitive function. This review provides an overview of chemistry, analytical techniques (focused on human biospecimens), functions including biological mechanisms, and effects of isoflavones, on the basis of the available meta-analysis and review articles and some original articles, on health and cancer.

  • This paper provided a brief summary of the current strategic goals, activities, and impacts of the NIOSH (National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health) occupational injury research program. Three primary drivers (injury database, stakeholder input, and staff capacity) were used to define NIOSH research focuses to maximize relevance and impact of the NIOSH injury-prevention-research program. Injury data, strategic goals, program activities, and research impacts were presented with a focus on prevention of four leading causes of workplace injury and death in the US: motor vehicle incidents, falls, workplace violence, and machine and industrial vehicle incidents. This paper showcased selected priority goals, activities, and impacts of the NIOSH injury prevention program. The NIOSH contribution to the overall decrease in fatalities and injuries is reinforced by decreases in specific goal areas. There were also many intermediate outcomes that are on a direct path to preventing injuries, such as new safety regulations and standards, safer technology and products, and improved worker safety training. The outcomes serve as an excellent foundation to stimulate further research and worldwide partnership to address global workplace injury problems.

  • 본 연구는 메시지조절초점 유형이 복수모델의 광고효과에 미치는 영향을 파악하고자 하였다. 그 동안 광고모델, 특히 유명인의 광고의 효과성에 대한 논의는 지속적으로 이루어져 왔지만, 상대적으로 복수모델의 광고효과에 대한 연구는 미비한 실정이고 더욱이 모델의 수에 따른 효과에 영향을 주는 변수로서 메시지조절초점에 관한 연구는 매우 미흡한 상황이다. 본 연구는 복수모델광고가 제시되는 경우를 하나의 광고에 두 명의 광고모델이 동시에 제시되는 광고형태로 제한하여, 광고모델의 수에 메시지 조절초점의 정보처리 특이성을 적용하여 광고효과의 차이점을 검증 하였다. 구체적으로 복수의 광고모델의 기용 시 사회적 합의성 증가와 정보원의 원천확대 증가에 의해 광고모델과 소비자와의 관계성이 향상하는 효과가 나타나며 이러한 복수모델의 광고효과는 소비자가 메시지를 수용할 때 주로 관계적 정교화(relational elaboration) 정보처리를 하게 되는 향상초점메시지에서 보다 높을 것이라는 가설을 검증하였다. 광고 모델 수(단수모델/복수모델)${\times}$메시지 유형(향상초점메시지/예방초점메시지)의 실험결과, 메시지 유형에 상관없이 복수모델의 경우가 단수모델의 경우보다 광고태도, 브랜드 태도, 구매의도에서 모두 높은 결과가 나타났다. 또한, 복수모델의 경우에 향상초점메시지를 사용한 광고가 예방초점 메시지를 사용한 광고보다 광고태도, 브랜드 태도, 구매의도에서 모두 긍정적인 결과가 나타났다. 나아가 광고 모델의 수와 메시지조절초점간의 상호작용효과가 유의미한 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구는 학계는 물론 광고실무자들에게도 시사하는 점이 클 것이며 향후 광고모델수의 광고효과 연구의 확장에도 많은 기초를 제공하고 있다.

  • 라이브커머스 시장의 성장은 스마트폰만 있으면 언제, 어디서나, 편리하고 간단하게 라이브커머스를 시작할 수 있다. 스마트폰 서비스 이용은 지속적인 커뮤니케이션을 제공하며, 심리적 애착을 느끼면서 이용하게 되고, 더 나아가 심리적 애착과 소비자 자신과의 자아일치, 자아정체성까지 연결된다. 본 연구는 라이브커머스를 이용하는 소비자의 동기와 지각에 초점을 두고 살펴보고자 한다. 즉, 소비자의 개인적, 심리적 특성으로 조절초점성향과 자아효능감(self-efficacy)의 조절효과를 통해 서비스애착과의 관계를 살펴보려 한다. 다시 말해, 소비자의 동기와 목표에 따라 소비자의 행동 방향을 결정하게 되는 조절초점(regulatory focus)성향이 라이브커머스의 서비스애착에 영향을 미치고. 주어진 상황이나 과업에서 원하는 결과를 위해 스스로 계획하고 실행하여 목표를 달성할 수 있다는 개인적인 자신감 및 확신과 신념인 자아효능감(self-efficacy)이 이러한 관계를 조절할 것으로 본다. 분석결과, 예방초점을 높게 지각하는 소비자들은 부정적인 결과를 회피하고, 안전과 의무를 추구하는 경향이 강할수록, 개인적인 자신감과 신념인 자아효능감이 상쇄시켜 라이브커머스의 서비스에 대한 애착을 더 강하게 형성시켰다. 라이브커머스 서비스 이용 시, 정보획득에 대해 유익하다고 지각할수록, 자신의 신념인 자아효능감이 높아지므로 안전추구성향과 부정적 결과를 회피하려는 예방초점성향의 소비자들에게 인지적 경험뿐 아니라 감정적 경험인 서비스애착이 강하게 형성되는 것이다. 본 연구를 통해 라이브커머스의 서비스 이용에 대한 소비자의 심리적 행동을 이해하고, 이를 기반으로 라이브커머스에 진입하려는 기업 및 소상공인들에게 운영전략 및 관리에 도움이 되리라 본다.

  • Background: Learning from incidents for accident prevention is a two-stage process, involving the investigation of past accidents to identify the causal factors, followed by the identification and implementation of remedial measures to address the identified causal factors. The focus of past research has been on the identification of causal factors, with limited focus on the identification and implementation of remedial measures. This research begins to contribute to this gap. The motivation for the research is twofold. First, previous analyses show the recurring nature of accidents within the Ghanaian mining industry, and the causal factors also remain the same. This raises questions on the nature and effectiveness of remedial measures identified to address the causes of past accidents. Secondly, without identifying and implementing remedial measures, the full benefits of accident investigations will not be achieved. Hence, this study aims to assess the nature of remedial measures proposed to address investigation causal factors. Method: The study adopted SMARTER from business studies with the addition of HMW (H - Hierarchical, M - Mapping, and W - Weighting of causal factors) to analyse the recommendations from 500 individual investigation reports across seven different mines in Ghana. Results: The individual and the work environment (79%) were mostly the focused during the search for causes, with limited focus on organisational factors (21%). Forty eight percentage of the recommendations were administrative, focussing on fixing the problem in the immediate affected area or department of the victim(s). Most recommendations (70.4%) were support activities that only enhance the effectiveness of control but do not prevent/mitigate the failure directly. Across all the mines, there was no focus on evaluating the performance of remedial measures after their implementation. Conclusion: Identifying sharp-end causes leads to proposing weak recommendations which fail to address latent organisational conditions. The study proposed a guide for effective planning and implementation of remedial actions.
