  • The objective of this study is to investigate the effects of advertising expenses of fashion companies on sales from a financial viewpoint. To do so, the advertising expenses and the sales of 194 manufacturing and distribution companies in the fashion industry, as per the income statements posted by the individual companies, were analyzed. The results are as follows. First, there was a statistically significant correlation between advertising expenses and sales. The higher the advertising expenses, the higher the sales. Second, there was no statistically significant differences between companies with different sizes of sales. Third, the effects of advertising expenses on sales of fashion companies were statistically significant. The higher the increase of the ratio of advertising expenses, the higher the increase of the ratio of sales, and vice versa. This study differs from others in that it uses financial data, which has been neglected in previous studies regarding the fashion industry, to analyze the relationship between advertisement and sales. It will lend help to fashion companies seeking to rationally manage advertising expenses and come up with effective advertising policies.

  • 본 연구의 목적은 대학생의 자아존중감이 어떠한 경로를 통하여 전문적 도움요청에 영향을 미치는지 확인하고자 하는 것으로서, 자아존중감, 자기은폐, 우울, 도움요청태도 사이에 어떠한 관계가 있는지를 실증적으로 검증하고자 하였다. 이를 위하여 본 연구에서는 대구 및 경북 지역 대학생 307명을 대상으로 수집된 자료에 대하여 구조방정식모형을 이용하여 그 적합도와 주요 변수들 간의 경로의 유의성을 검증하였다. 분석 결과, 본 연구에서 설정된 연구모형의 적합도는 양호한 것으로 나타났으며, 자아존중감은 자기은폐와 우울에 각각 부적으로 유의한 영향을 미치며, 자기은폐는 우울에는 정적으로, 그리고 전문적 도움요청태도에는 부적으로 유의한 영향을 미치는 것으로 확인되었다. 이러한 연구 결과에 근거하여 대학생의 전문적 도움요청에 대한 태도를 긍정적으로 변화시킬 수 있는 대안과 관련된 함의가 제시되었다.

  • This article describes the process involved in usability testing a agricultural information Web site. In addition to determining the goals and requirements for the agricultural information Web site, a user and task analysis was conducted for defining the its user base and the types of tasks which users might be performing at the site. Usability testing methods with close observation and in-depth interviews provided fresh insights about how users are interacting with the agricultural information Web interface as they approach various information seeking tasks. This study uncovered problems related to unclear terminology, improper interface, location for navigational links, need for context sensitive help, built-in redundancy, and clear and consistent navigation.

  • This review is aimed at the understanding of learning in field-trips relating to education in outdoor activities. The review specifically concerns what studies have been undertaken by seeking evidence from research published between 1950 and 2004. The review indicates three common arguments on learning during field-trips. First, the learning in an informal learning environment based on first-hand experiences is most significant when it has meaning for the learner from field-trips. Second, learning aims and strategies in field-trips have evolved along with world-wide concerns towards the environment. Third, the experiences from field-trips can impact significantly on students' cognitive and affective learning. However, the research of field-trip experiences from outdoor activities has focused on learning outcomes far more than on the learning characteristics which facilitate students' learning. Therefore, further study is required, which can provide clear evidence on how such learning characteristics through field-trips can help studentsto successfully attain educational goals.

  • Purpose: Core competencies for becoming a good physician have been the focus of recent discussion. Understanding students' state of mind should be included in this analysis. Thus, the purpose of this study was to review recent research papers on subjective well-being in medical education and propose some suggestions. Methods: A selective search was conducted of the literature that has been published since 2000 in the Medline, Riss4U, ERIC, and KoreaMed databases using the search terms "happiness", "subjective well-being", "satisfaction", and "stress". Thirty seven studies were included in this review. Each was categorized according to 3 subjects (satisfaction, positive affect, negative affect). Results: Most studies showed relatively high levels of distress in medical students, which was related to academic worries. Although medical students were under a great deal of distress, they regarded help-seeking behavior for their distress as weakness or something negative. Conclusion: To decrease medical students' distress and sustain their well-being, there should be a change in students' awareness through curriculum, teaching methods, and coping strategies in medical education.

  • Despite the maturity of platforms, only some studies have explored the relationships between the working conditions of platform workers and their organization-like responses to these platforms. Thus, this research utilized the Job Demands-Resources Model (JD-R Model) to analyze the effects of job demands and resources on platform workers' job embracing. The data were collected from 182 food delivery riders in South Korea. This study utilized the PLS technique (partial least squares) to examine the research model. Regarding job demands, this study has found that work overload and physical effort significantly affect burnout. Regarding job resources, the results revealed that service technology support and training significantly affect work engagement. In alignment with the Job Demands-Resources literature, the findings offer tangible proof that burnout has a detrimental impact on job embracing, whereas work engagement has a beneficial effect on job embracing. Our findings indicate that work engagement exerts a more substantial beneficial effect on job embracing, and burnout reduces job embracing. Results also provide novel insights to scholars seeking a comprehensive research model on the impact of on-demand workplace conditions to help platforms attract and retain platform workers.
