This study was conducted to improve the quality properties of cream soup in accordance with the added amount of sweet pumpkin and Chungdong pumpkin, roux and chicken stock. As the amount of pumpkin was increased, red (a-value) and yellow (b-value) colors increased but its lightness (L-value) remarkably decreased. Also, there was a significant differences in viscosity, color, appearance and overall preference of sensory evaluation. In pumpkin 150 g (37.5%) added, the degree of total preference was high. As the added amount of roux was increased, red and yellow colors decreased by small margin and there was a significant differences in color, flavor, appearance and overall preference of sensory test. At adding roux of 5 mL (1.5%) showed the highest preference. With the adding chicken stock increase the lightness, red and yellow color decreased. It was found by sensory evaluation that there were significant differences in viscosity, color, flavor, appearance and overall preference. At adding chicken stock 150 mL (37.5%) and milk of 50 mL (12.5%) showed the high score in flavor, appearance and total preference.

As the popularity of Korean drama and celebrities in China, Korean fashion is becoming increasingly popular in the Chinese market. Although the effect of Korean drama on Chinse consumers' attitudes toward Korean products are known, little research has been conducted to understand the mechanisms underlying the impact of Korean drama on the development of consumer attitudes. Thus, this study examines how Chinese consumers' exposure to Korean dramas has influenced their attitudes towards Korean fashion products. Applying the similarity-attraction theory, the study explores the roles Chinese consumers' perceived similarities in appearance and values with Korean characters in TV dramas plays in the process of attitude development. Data was collected via an online survey and the responses of 317 Chinese consumers in their twenties were used for data analysis. The results of structural equation modeling show that exposure to Korean dramas has a direct impact on Chinese consumers' perceived appearance similarity, perceived value similarity, image of Korean people, and attitudes toward Korean fashion products-results that support the theory of mere exposure. In addition, the analysis demonstrates that perceived appearance similarity positively influences the image of Koreans among Chinese people, which, in turn, influences attitudes toward Korean fashion products, supporting the similarity-attraction theory. However, the effect of perceived value similarity on attitude toward Korean fashion products was not significant. The study concludes by describing its practical implications for the Korean fashion industry and presenting ideas for future research.

In this paper, a weighted value wrinkle detection method is suggested based on the analysis on the entire facial features such as face contour, face size, eyes and ears. Firstly, the main facial elements are detected with AAM method entirely from the input screen images. Such elements are mainly composed of shape-based and appearance methods. These are used for learning the facial model and for matching the face from new screen images based on the learned models. Secondly, the face and background are separated in the screen image. Four points with the biggest possibilities for wrinkling are selected from the face and high wrinkle weighted values are assigned to them. Finally, the wrinkles are detected by applying Canny edge algorithm for the interested points of weighted value. The suggested algorithm adopts various screen images for experiment. The experiments display the excellent results of face and wrinkle detection in the most of the screen images.

In this study, influence of different stone powders (SP), including limestone powders (LP), quartzite powders (QP), and granitic powders (GP), on the hydration behaviors of portland cement, for example, setting time, hydration heat, and hydration products, were discussed. The initial and the final setting time both shorten when the content of LP is 5 %, however, they are slightly delayed by the other two SPs. The LP has no obvious influence on the arrival time of the first peak in the exothermal curves, and it makes the peak value decrease; the other two SPs postpone the appearance of the first peak, and they also make the peak value decrease. For the second peak, LP shifts the peak position to the left, QP has no effect on this peak position, and GP makes the appearance of this peak delayed by 143 min. Similarly, three kinds of SPs have different influence on the hydration products of portland cement. The LP precipitates the formation of hydrated calcium carbo aluminate, the QP the formation of hydrated garnet, and the GP makes the amount of Tobermorite increase.

Consumers are becoming increasingly interested in what kind of value their food has. Many studies have focused on consumers' preferences and willingness to pay for specific food values. However, few studies have asked consumers to consider or rank the importance of different food values. This paper determined consumers' food values by implementing the best-worst scaling approach and segmented consumers based on the relative importance of general food values that consumers place on them. Among a list of eleven food values (taste, safety, origin, appearance, price, environmental impact, naturalness, convenience, nutrition, fairness, and habit) which was compiled from previous studies on food preferences, on average, safety, nutrition, taste, and price were the most important values to consumers, whereas fairness, habit, appearance, convenience, origin, and environmental impact were the least important values. However, significant variation exists among consumers in terms of the relative importance of food values. To investigate the heterogeneity among consumers, a Latent Class Analysis was performed to classify consumers into subgroups based on responses to questions. Two latent classes were found and characterized as 'safety-nutrition' and 'taste-price'. The 'safety-nutrition' cluster represents 61% of the sample and a group of people who find safety and nutrition centered values to be the most important. Another cluster represents about 39% of the sample, and relative to the first group, this group finds price and taste values to be more important.

Due to the pressures from surrounding conditions, the current Gyeong-Po Lake has been loosing its original appearance. Historically, the value of Gyeong-Po Lake has been highlighted at the Ru-Jeongs, which were once used to enjoy the various lakeside landscapes. However, the changes in physical appearance of the lake surroundings have ruined the value of the Ru-Jeongs, and even more changed the view point. As an initiating effort to reestablish and to manage the traditional visual landscapes of the lake, this study puts its emphasis on the traditional point of view. Also, this study tries to find the traditional visual values that are not visible at the current time, based on historic literature such as historic documents, paintings and poems. One of the important findings of this study is that viewing the different landscapes was more highly valued than their physical configurations in historic literatures, and that the focal points in viewing landscape were the Ru-Jeongs(누정). Hence, this study suggests that it is necessary to set the Ru-Jeongs, including Gyeong-Po(경포), Bang-Hye(방해), Hwan-Sun(환선), and Ho-Hae(호해), as the focal points for viewing the landscapes in order to reestablish and manage the traditional landscapes of Gyeong-Po Lake.

This study was investigated the personal rating reason for preference, and opinion for improvement on the Korean traditional foods. Questionnaire were answered by male and female university students at 8 universities in Seoul and the results are summarized as follows. 1) General trend of subjects showed preference for traditional food in order of nutrition, appearance, taste, economics, and cooking method. While the value of food itself such as nutrition, appearance, taste was rated high, practical side such as economics, and cooking method was not so agreed. Especially female students set as lower value on cooking method. 2) As a reason for rating it low, male and female students answered without distinction that traditional food are laborious and much time is needed for cooking. 3) For the idea of improving traditional food, all students had same opinion that standardized cooking method should be developed for convenient use at home, and secondly, special salestore of traditional food should be promoted. Particularly more male students had the opinion that traditional cooking method should be succeeded to at home than female students. Summarizing some significant findings from the analysis of data, all students prefer traditional food itself relatiovely. But generally they rate it low because traditional food is difficult to cook and there are not so many chances of eating. Therefore, it is regarded that standardized cooking method and promoted special salestore for more chance of eating will activated the interest of young generation, and hence contribute to succession of tradition.

An experiment was conducted to know the effects of crab shell, sericite ore, and charcoal powders on the growth, yield, and grain quality of rice. After application of 110-40-57 kg/ha of $N-P_2O_5-K_2O$, 3,000 kg/ha of crab shell and charcoal powders and 5,000 kg/ha of sericite ore powder were applied and incorporated into soil before transplanting of rice seedlings. The number of tillers and panicles, leaf area index at heading stage, N concentration of plants, and protein content and chalkiness of rice grains were increased with the application of crab shell powder, while the percentage of ripened stains and head rice and Toyo taste value were decreased. The yield of milled rice and other grain appearance and chemical and physical properties of rice grains were not affected by the application of crab shell powder. The sericite ore and charcoal powders increased protein content decreased Toyo taste value, but did not affect on the growth, yield and yield components and other grain qualities.

For a while, Functional cosmetics, Cosmeceutical cosmetics, and Derma cosmetics have gained trust and become popular due to the consumers' strong interest in ingredients & efficacy. It's remarkable that Clean or Vegan brands are growing fast because they are emphasizing on different values from the other cosmetic brands. It's needed to attempt to analyze the influence relationship between consumer lifestyle and social value in these changes, and to find out whether the consumption of vegan cosmetics is related to satisfying the need for self-expression in a social atmosphere where ESG is emphasized on. This study analyzed the effect of lifestyle types and self-expression needs on the purchase intention of vegan cosmetics by mediating social values for cosmetics consumers. Lifestyle types were classified into appearance-oriented, health-oriented, and fashion-oriented. For empirical analysis, 321 questionnaires collected from cosmetics consumers living across the country were used. SPSS v26.0 and PROCESS macro v4.2 were used to analyze based on a single mediating model as a single mediator. As a result of the analysis, first, lifestyle types and self-expression needs, excluding appearance-oriented types, were found to have a positive (+) effect on social values. Second, it was found that social value had a positive (+) significant effect on the purchase intention of vegan cosmetics. Third, appearance-oriented, health-oriented, trend-seeking lifestyle types and self-expression needs were all found to have a positive (+) effect on the purchase intention of vegan cosmetics. Fourth, social values were found to mediate lifestyle types, self-expression needs, and purchase intentions, except for appearance-oriented types. Appearance-oriented consumers do not directly affect social values but affect purchase intentions, suggesting that appearance-oriented consumers may not be significantly affected by product-related social values. In a comparison of the relative influence size using standardization coefficients, self-expression needs had the greatest impact on the purchase intention of vegan cosmetics when mediating social values, and health-oriented ones had the least impact. The academic implications of this study include contributing to consumer behavior research by providing insights, mediation mechanisms, and consideration of the niche consumer sector, and directing further research into the cosmetics industry beyond forming marketing strategies and sustainable business practices.

Every month of pregnancy, vaginal smears were obtained from 42 dairy cows, and an attempt was made to correlate the cell picture with the stage of pregnancy. The results obtained in this work were summerized as follows: 1. At early pregnancy, most of the cells in the smears were the cells with normal nucleus and cytoplasm, and leucocytes. After the first month of pregnancy there was a progressive decrease in the rate of appearance of the cells with normal nucleus and cytoplasm, which dropped to the lowest value at the third month of pregnancy, thereafter, showing steady state. 2. After the first month of prgnancy the rate of appearance of the cells with karyolysis began to increase gradually, and reached a maximum at the fifth month of pregnancy, returning towards initial levels. 3. The rate of appearance of the cells with karyopyknosis was much lower at early pregnancy, but at the third month of pregnancy there was a rapid increase, thereafter, showing steady state (ranging from 20 to 50 percent). 4. The non-nucleated cornified cells, the cells with vacuolized cytoplasm, and the cells with swollen nucleus and cytoplasm were appeared much fewer or not, and significant changes were not recognized during pregnancy. 5. At early pregnancy there appeared many of leucocytes but dropped intensively at the third month of pregnancy, and, thereafter, appeared much fewer or not.
