  • This research examined the residents' behavior in using space, focusing on the kitchen area where there was the most change, in order to understand the transition of living culture through the ages. The following findings were obtained: 1) Today's apartment residents prefer 'Island' style which is located a separate counter and work space. Thus the kitchen m is now being recognized as a place spacious, and where the whole family can participate. 2) The usage of the kitchen is not only limited to cooking or keeping household goods but also broadened to washing, private life, happy home circle, inviting guests etc. Especially, family union or inviting guests in the kitchen is more frequent as the houses become larger, private refreshment or reading in the kitchen is proportional to income and to people living in homes where the kitchen and dining room is divided independent 3) Looking at the dietary life styles of today's apartment residents, there are more well-being type and tradition type than prosessed type. This trend is portional to the resident's standard of education and the size of the apartment, thus making a significant influence.

  • 국내에서 가정용 보일러에 사용되고 있는 기존의 순환펌프는 캔(canned)형 순환펌프로서 거의 수입에 의존하고 있는 실정이며, 이것은 고정자와 회전자의 간격이 넓어 효율이 떨어지고, 또한 여름철 비가동시에는 캔과 회전자 사이가 고착되어 초기가동이 불가능하게 됨으로서 펌프의 수명을 단축시키는 단점을 가지고 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 이러한 단점들을 극복하고 기존의 순화펌프의 개념을 완전히 탈피한 평면대향형 브러시리스 전동기에 의한 전자식 순환펌프를 개발하고자 한다. 개발된 전자식 순화펌프는 실험을 통하여 기존의 캔형 순환펌프보다 크기 및 소음의 축소, 원가절감, 효율의 향상 등 이점을 가지고 있음을 보였다.

  • Conventional methods for reducing vibration in engineering designs (i.e. by stiffening or detuning) may be undesirable or inadequate in conditions where size or weight must be minimized or where complex vibration spectra exist. Alloys which combine high damping capacity with good mechanical properties can provide attractive technical and economic solutions to problems involving seismic, shock and vibration isolation. To meet these trends, we have developed a new high damping Fe-17%Mn alloys. Also, the alloy has advantages of good mechanical properties and more economical than any other known damping alloys(1/4 times as cost of non-ferrous damping alloy). Thus, the high damping Fe-17%6Mn alloy can be widely applied to household appliances, automobiles, industrial facilities and power plant components with its excellent damping capacity(SDC, 30%) and mechanical property(T.S 700MPa). It is the purpose of this paper to introduce the characterization of the high damping Fe-17%Mn alloy and the results of retrofit several such applications.

  • Micronutrient malnutrition severely affects development and functioning of the body leading to increased morbidity and mortality. The study adopted a cross-sectional research design; cluster sampling was used to target 318 households. The significance level was P < 0.05, the mean age of primary food shoppers was 33 years and the average income was 3,000-5,000 Kenya shillings. Slightly above half, 55% of the primary food shoppers knew about fortification but only 25% understood its meaning. Fortified maize flour was consumed by < 80% of primary food shoppers however utilization frequency was low. In conclusion factors that were significantly associated with utilization of fortified maize flour included; knowledge on fortified maize flour (p=0.00), household size (p=0.005), preference of fortified maize flour (p=0.000) and level of fortification knowledge (p=0.002). Availability and price were ranked as the most important factors that influence utilization of fortified maize flour at 58% and 55% contrary nutritional value was ranked least important at 37%. The ministry of health and concerned millers should make more emphasis on creating and sustaining awareness more so a steady supply and affordable prices should be ensured by millers so that more primary food shoppers can be able to utilize the fortified maize flour.

  • Purpose: Compared with the past when Japanese retailers used to hesitate to open their shops in the Korean market, because of anti-Japan sentiment, they show confidence in Korea in recent. This study, thus, aims at examining how socio-demographic factors have an impact on customer attitudes towards a Japanese retailer as a shopping destination. Research design, data, and methodology: After the literature review process, the authors have developed a variety of questions to verify the relationship amongst the variables like nationalism, consumer ethnocentrism, war animosity, store country-of-origin and anti-Japan sentiment. Furthermore, after collected questionnaires, the authors used confirmative factor analysis (CFA), T test and linear regression analysis to verify the 25 hypotheses developed. Results: Except for a household size element, it is found that gender, age, education and income levels are related to the degree of nationalism, ethnocentrism, war animosity, store country-of-origin and anti-Japan sentiment. In other words, socio-economic elements influenced Korean customer attitudes towards Japanese retailers. Conclusions: Korean customers tend to show different shopping attitudes towards the Japanese retailers, depending on the characteristics of socio-demographic elements. Furthermore, changing socio-demographic factors will provide positive business opportunities for Japanese retailers in the future.

  • Mushroom has economic, food and medicinal value to a large proportion of human populace. This study assessed the consumption pattern of mushroom species in Southwestern Nigeria. Non-probability sampling method was used to select 20 Local Government Areas (LGAs) from 3 states and four communities were selected purposively from each LGAs. Snow-ball sampling approach was used in selecting 5 respondents from each community, making a total of 400 respondents. Descriptive statistics was used to describe the socio-economic characteristics of the respondents, to compare the differences between the local (wild) and Exotic (cultivated) mushroom Species and to determine the rate at which mushroom substitute is consumed among the mushroom consumers. Logit regression was used to identify the factors influencing mushroom consumption in the study area. Thirty percent of the respondents were aged 41 to 50 years, with mean age of 49.76 years. About 82% had tertiary education, 17.3% earned above N200,000 monthly and 8.8% spent above N6000 monthly on mushroom. Logit regression showed that age (-3.21), household size (-2.17) and medicinal benefits (-2.17) had significant (p<0.01) negative effects on mushroom consumption. Conclusively, mushroom has wide acceptance among the general populace, good for food and medicine; hence, awareness should be created through agricultural policy on the need for mushroom cultivation and consumption in Nigeria.

  • In this study, quantitative models were applied to case parks to estimate the carbon reduction by trees, which was compared and analyzed at the tree and park levels. At the tree level, quantitative models of carbon storage and uptake differed by up to 7.9 times, even for the same species and size. At the park level, the carbon reduction from quantitative models varied by up to 3.7 times for the same park. In other words, carbon reduction by quantitative models exhibited considerable variation at the tree and park levels. These differences are likely due to the use of different growth environment coefficients and annual diameter at breast height growth rates and the overestimation of carbon reduction due to the substitution of the same genus and group model for each tree species. Extending the annual carbon uptake per unit area of the case park to the total park area of Chuncheon a carbon uptake ranging from a minimum of 370.4 t/yr and a maximum of 929.3 t/yr, and the difference can reach up to 558.9 t/yr. This is equivalent to the carbon emissions from the annual household electricity consumption of approximately 2,430 people. These results suggest that the indiscriminate application of quantitative models to estimate carbon reduction in urban trees can lead to significant errors and deviations in estimating carbon storage and uptake in urban greenspaces. The findings of this study can serve as a basis for estimating carbon reduction in urban greening research, projects, and policies.

  • 1인 가구는 매년 꾸준히 증가하고 있으며, 다가구와는 다르게 정신적으로 고립돼 있기 때문에 우울증 발병률이 더 높다. 우울증 발병 원인은 여러 가지가 있는데 신체 활동, 가족 수, 그리고 스트레스 등이 있다. 신체 활동이 적을수록, 스트레스가 많을수록 우울증의 발생률이 높아진다. 1인 가구가 증가하고, 2019년 발생한 코로나로 인해 팬데믹 사태가 겹침으로 인해 신체 활동에 제약이 생기면서 스트레스 지수가 증가하여 많은 우울증 환자가 발생했다. 우울증이 발병했더라도 진료받지 않는 환자가 많기 때문에 우울증 진료의 접근성을 높이기 위해 우울증 관리 체계 시스템을 제안한다.

  • Purposes: The study aimed at examining the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the shift of online consumer purchasing behavior and whether the new behaviors would be maintained after the epidemic season. The study also aims to investigate how online customers change based on perceived risks. Research design and Methodology: The study investigated purchasing behavior of the same 377 online Vietnamese consumers during two periods: (1) during the period of social distancing and (2) one and half year after that, allowing data to be collected in real time, so that consumers do not have to recall their behavior. Results: Purchasing behavior appeared to be more influenced by gender, age and household size. Aged consumers are more concerned about risks than those in the younger group, who only worry about the risks during the pandemic. Consumers in households with two or more people are more concerned about the risks than those living alone. Female appeared to be more influential in both during and after pandemic than male. Conclusions: The findings contribute to clarify shift of online consumer purchasing behavior, which helps business to develop effective marketing strategies and enhance their presence in the e-commerce sector.

  • 본 연구는 인체 친화적인 소재로 균을 제거하는 기술을 만들기 위해서 진행하였다. 균총 상호 균형에 중요한 역할을 하는 황색포도상구균이 바이오필름을 생성시킬 때 다양한 농도의 인산염 투입시 나타나는 물성변화를 조사하였다. 원자현미경을 이용해서 인산염 5 mM 처리시 황색포도상구균 바이오필름의 크기와 경도가 통계적으로 유의차가 있게 최소값을 가짐을 관찰하였다. 염료 태깅법으로 흡광도를 관찰한 결과 인산염과 함께 성장한 전체 바이오필름의 농도도 감소한 것을 발견하였다. 이것이 카운터 이온으로서 작용하는 염에 의한 영향인지 확인하기 위하여 소금을 같은 조건에서 처리해보았는데 이때는 바이오필름의 농도 감소가 관찰되지 않았고 이를 통해 인산염이 특별한 생리적인 작용에 관여함을 알 수 있었다. 비행시간형 이차이온 질량분석기를 통해서 이온 검출량을 평가하여 바이오필름 구성성분을 분석한 결과 인산염을 투입하기 전과 후의 모든 바이오필름 외곽에서 세균막만 감지되었는데 특별히 인산염 5 mM에서 이 세균막의 농도가 가장 낮음을 확인하였다. 바이오필름 내부에 어떤 물성 변화가 일어났는지 관찰하기 위해서 시어 응력을 조절하는 유변기기로 바이오필름의 점탄성 특징을 측정을 하니 인산염 5 mM에서 바이오필름의 점도는 변화하지 않았으나 탄성률 감소가 일어난 것을 관찰하였다. 이것을 통해 인산염이 5 mM인 환경에서 균은 내부 탄성률 감소를 통해서 세균막을 탈피시키는 것을 알 수 있었다. 인산염 농도 5 mM에서 관찰되는 세균막 농도 감소는 균이 더 많은 성장을 하기 위해 다른 곳으로 이동하기 쉽게 하기 위해서 스스로 표면에서 탈착하는 것과 연관이 있음을 제시하였다. 마침내 인산염을 투입하면 균의 세균막 제거가 유도되어 결론적으로 황색포도상구균이 쉽게 제거될 수 있음을 밝혀내었다.
