After analyzing the actual acquisition status of carbon labeling by year and by product for the past four years, as well as its certification in the construction-related sectors of greenhouse gas emission, this study attempted to present the problems and coping strategies upon issuing the carbon labeling certification in the landscape architecture. During the period of this analysis, the carbon labelings were acquired by 134 enterprises, 267 workplaces, and 735 products, while the percentage of acquisition was highest in the regular non-durable goods(49%), followed by energy-consuming durable goods(26%), regular production goods (19%), regular durable goods(3%), and service(3%). Furthermore, the acquisition certifications in construction sectors, were highest in the various pipes/panel(8 cases), followed by concrete(6 cases), gypsum board(4 cases), and landscape architecture materials(2 cases). The landscape architecture only had two cases in the acquisition certification for the first time in 2012, which accounted for 0.27% of the entire certification products, due to the uncertainty in the process, the lack of professionalism, and the lack of comprehension. However, the study conducted on the coping strategies for carbon labeling in the landscape architecture revealed the following: (1) regular reporting system management through the division of labor in the head office and factories, (2) the building of objective DB through the adoption of data management programs such as SAP, (3) continuous promotion and vitalization of the incentive system, (4) the adoption of mandatory or preferential application system in landscaping projects, management, and bidding, (5) enhancement of elasticity in deliberation of certification by recruiting experts in the landscape architecture sectors, and (6) provision of incentives for the cooperative firms acquiring the certification and support for their participation.

Cosmetics market information is important due to advances in information communication technology and the growth of cosmetics market. This study analyzed the relationship between the pre-purchase utilization of information (commercial, neutral, personal and experiential) and the post-purchase satisfaction of skin care cosmetics, categorized as functionality, safety, economic feasibility, information reliability, purchase convenience, condition of purchase place, packaging/design of product and service. This study analyzed reliability, frequency, differences, correlation and regression analysis using SPSS ver. 24.0. The study results are summarized as follows. First, gender was a significant variable in the level of information source utilization. Women used commercial, neutral, and experiential information sources more actively than men. However, women had lower post-purchase satisfaction that could be understood through expectation disconfirmation theory. Women have very high expectations that can lower post-purchase satisfaction. Second, information source utilization can improve post-purchase satisfaction for cosmetics. The consumer post-purchase satisfact the lowest in the commercial information source; however, consumers were satisfied when the commercial informationinformation sourceenon and regre. Third, the consumeried itnformation sourceenon and regression analysis ial, neutral,source and reflected the characteristics of experiential goods. Therefore, companies should provide accurate commercial, personal and experiential information to increase consumervide accurate commercial, per as well as conduct experiential marketing.

Warfighting experimentation is an important process for identifying requirements against changing military environment and for verifying proposed measures for reforming military service. The wargame simulation experiment is regarded as one of the most effective means to warfighting experimentation, and its importance is increasing than ever. On the other hand, the results of wargame experiments could be unreliable due to the uncertainty involved in the experimental procedure. To improve the reliability of the experimental results, systematic experimental procedures and analysis methods must be employed, and the design and analysis of experiments technique can be used effectively for this purpose. In this paper, AWAM, a wargame simulator, is used to optimize the organization of operational troops. The simulation model describes a warfighting situation in which the 'survival rate of our force' and the 'survival rate of the enemy force' are considered as responses, 'the numbers of weapons in the squad' as control factors, and 'the uncontrollable variables of the battlefield' as noise factors. In addition, for the purpose of effective experimentation, the product array approach in which the inner and outer orthogonal arrays are crossed is adopted. Then, the signal-to-noise-ratio for each response and the desirabilities for the means and standard deviations of responses are calculated and used to determine a compromise optimal solution. The experimental procedures and analysis methods developed in this paper can provide guidelines for designing and analyzing wargame simulation experiments for similar warfighting situations.

The aim of this study was to identify the polymorphism on fatty acid binding protein (FABP4) gene promoter region and its association with carcass traits in Hanwoo. We performed PCR-direct sequencing of FABP4 promoter region to identify single nucleotide polymorphism (SNPs) using unrelated 24 Hanwoo bulls. Four SNPs (-298A>G, -472A>G, -887A>G, -862A>G) were detected in the promoter region and genotyped on 583 Hanwoo steers. A linear mixed model revealed an association of three SNPs (-298A>G, -472A>G and -862A>G) with carcass weight and marbling score in dominance model (P<0.05). The animals with AA genotypes for the three SNPs were heavier carcass weight (5 kg) than animals with GG genotypes in the statistical analysis. For the marbling score, the AA genotype was lower effect of marbling score (0.21) than GG genotypes. In conclusion, this study indicates an important role for three SNPs detected in promoter region of FABP4 in determining carcass weight and marbling score in Hanwoo.

This research was conducted to estimate waste rates of 69 food items after pre-preparation and amounts of food wastes disposed and it's reduction effect by education in some institutional foodservices for reduction of the food wastes. The result are as follows: 1. The waste rates were 55.40% for sweet corn, 5.73% for potatoes, 19.14% for sweet potatoes, and 33.47% for chestnuts. 2. The waste rates of fruits were 0.21-49.36%. Food items with over 40% waste rate were banana, watermelon, and pineapple. 3. The waste rates of vegetables were 1.14-52.90%. The number of foods with under 10% waste rate were 14 items(red pepper, green pepper, chard, and so on), 10-20% was 9 items(perilla leaf, chinese cabbage, ginger root, and so on), 20-30% was 5 items(root of chinese bellflower, garlic, radish-leaves, burdock, welsh onion-large type), 30-40% was 3 items(shepherd's purse, head lettuce, kale) and over 40% was 3 items(water dropwort, crown daisy, mallow). 4. The waste rates were 24.30% in chicken, 9.53-13.79% in eggs, and 9.30-55.32% in fishes. The waste rates of vegetables and fishes were higher than those of other food groups. 5. There were significantly different in amount of food wastes disposed (g/person/day) to institutional foodservices (hospital＞industrial institution＞ Korean restaurant＞elementary school). The amount of food wastes disposed, especially amount in pre-preparation phase, after education for reduction of food wastes was significantly reduced. Since these study results show significant deviations in food waste rates and education effect, there should be more studies for standard waste rates of each food and systematic education method for reduction of food wastes.

As interest in health has recently increased, many researchers have investigated the utilization of functional foods by confectioneries and bakeries. However, research on loaf bread containing beets has not been conducted. To investigate the optimal ratio of beet in loaf bread containing beet powder, characteristics of loaf bread according to 2%(B2), 4%(B4), and 6%(B6) beet powder per wheat flour were examined. The experimental results were as follows. Fermentation rate was reduced as content of beet powder increased compared with the control, whereas pH levels of dough and loaf bread significantly increased as content of beet powder increased. As content of beet powder increased, volume of loaf bread decreased, whereas specific volume increased. There was no significant difference in volume of loaf bread between the samples. As far as color changes are concerned, as content of beet powder increased, L value decreased, whereas a and b values increased with significant differences between the samples. Characteristics were examined by sensory evaluation of loaf bread containing beet powder. Color of inner texture and peel color of loaf bread significantly increased as content of beet powder increased. Size of air pores was largest in B4, and there was no significant difference in the uniformity of loaf bread between the control and experiment groups. As content of beet powder increased, rigidity of bread was reduced. Control showed the highest elasticity, whereas moisture level was highest in B2 with no significant differences between the samples. The flavor of beet was stronger as content of beet powder increased. In the preference test, B4 showed the highest preference scores for texture, flavor, taste, and overall likeness but not appearance. The experimental results showed that B4 among all control and experimental groups had the most suitable baking characteristics and an optimum content of beet powder. Therefore, B4 can be considered as the most appropriate for making loaf bread containing 4% beet powder in terms of physical and sensory characteristics. This is a new product that satisfies overall sensory preferences and has improved functionality.

In this paper, we propose an iPhone application that allows the user to pay for donations using the camera, GPS and call functions of the iPhone. As iOS version 3.0 allows the iPhone camera to detect and read bar codes and QR codes, the proposed application uses such codes to identify a product the user wishes to donation. After determining the user's location using the iPhone GPS function, the application can then perform a navigation task that guides the user to a suitable shop or store where the user can make his or her donation. In addition, the application offers an ARS call function that allows the user to make a direct donation, even if the user does not know the telephone number for making such donations. Therefore, the proposed application provides an easy means for the user to pay for donations directly or indirectly.

With the recent expansion of Internet channels and the development of financial technology and information and communication technology, direct overseas purchases have expanded. Although direct overseas purchases dominate consumers in terms of price and scarcity by providing relatively low-priced products and products that are difficult to obtain in Korea, there is a higher chance of consumer dissatisfaction in terms of delivery, product, A/S and refund than domestic purchases. Therefore, this study analyzed consumer dissatisfaction caused by active overseas direct purchase and studied ways to improve problems with overseas direct purchase. As a research method, Several statistical data were collected from the Korea Consumer Agency(KCA), the Korea Customs Service(KCS) and the Korea International Trade Association(KITA) and analyzed using the Exploratory Data Analysis Technique (EDA). The analysis confirmed that consumers were not well aware of information about direct overseas purchases and that the type or degree of consumer complaints varied depending on the type of purchase. Therefore, this study suggests a direction for the revitalization of overseas direct purchases by using EDA to identify the overall status of overseas direct purchases and consumer dissatisfaction and to improve them.

Recently, coupons are distributed in various ways such as paper, Internet, and mobile phone, with the development of the information and communications technology. Coupon users benefit from the use of these coupons. For example, they can get a discount for the product that they wanted to buy and can be offered additional services. However, paper and Internet coupons have a risk of loss since users have to cut them out and keep them separately. Mobile coupons also don't provide users with user convenience, because coupon users first look for coupon data from their mobile phone and show it to the counterperson. To solve these problems, this study proposes a NFC-based mobile coupon system under which we can use coupon data only with mobile device access.

This study empirically investigates how the switching barriers influence the consumer's perceived intention to change his or her current favorite internet shopping mall. Drawing from switching cost theory, variables pertaining to trust, shopping mall service quality, product price, web page quality, switching barriers were examined to examine the consumer's behavioral intention to switch to another shopping mall. The interaction effect of consumer involvement was also included in the research model. The results of the study report that customer satisfaction and switching cost influence shopping switching intention, while the effect of attractiveness of the shopping mall was not significant in the statistical analysis. Furthermore, a moderating effect of consumer involvement was not found significant in the PLS analysis. The study demonstrates the shopping mall owners try to increase the customer's overall satisfaction and raise the switching barrier by providing mileage advantages, for instance.
