Rapeseed (Brassica napus L.) oil is mostly refined oil (RO). However, with increasing interest in health, the consumption of cold-pressed oil (CPO) without chemical refining is increasing in Korea. In this study, quality characteristics of CPO from rapeseed varieties 'Jungmo7001', 'Jungmo7002', 'Jungmo7003', and 'Yuryeo' were evaluated and compared with RO, a commercial product. L-value and a-value were lower while b-value was significantly higher for CPO than those for RO. Analysis of fatty acid compositions of each oil revealed that CPO from 'Yuryeo' contained the highest oleic acid at 74%. Analyses of contents of bioactive compounds in CPOs and RO revealed that contents of tocopherol, 𝛽-carotene, and canolol were the highest in CPOs from 'Jungmo7003', 'Jungmo7002', and 'Jungmo7001' at 55.5, 0.3, and 0.2 mg/100 g, respectively. In addition, CPOs contained higher contents of bioactive compounds than RO, suggesting that CPO could provide health benefits. The induction period of CPOs measured using Rancimat were 9~52% longer than that for RO, indicating that CPOs had a higher oxidative stability under given conditions. These results could be used to obtain basic data on quality of domestic rapeseed varieties.

To provide high-quality oral health services, the concept of measurable oral health quality must first be defined. Owing to reports of significant preventable adverse events in the healthcare service provision process, the recognition and consensus of patient safety and patient-centered health service provision was formed. Six areas that are important medical care have been identified, including the quality along with existing concepts such as timeliness, effectiveness, equity, and efficiency of medical services. While there is ongoing research on the quality of oral health, there is not yet any internationally accepted definition. The purpose of this study is to introduce the ideas of oral healthcare quality and quality indicators that have been developed and announced in the field of dentistry.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate if companies' efforts of environmental management practices have positive effect on the companies' performance in the first stage of study. In the second stage, we tried to confirm whether the degree of companies' making efforts on cost leadership strategy and quality leadership strategy function as moderate variable on relationship between environmental management practices and performance. Methods: The collected data through survey were analysed using multiple regression model in the first stage of the study and moderate regression model in the second. Results: The results of this study are as follows; environmental management practices have positive effect on corporate performance. Moreover, much effort on quality leadership strategy has limited significant moderate effect on relationship between environmental management practices and performance, while much effort by companies on cost leadership strategy does not have significant moderate effect on the relationship between the two variables. Conclusion: Manufacturing and services companies in Korea need to make effort for environmental management practices to improve corporate performance. Moreover, if that efforts are combined with quality leadership strategy, they can expect synergy effect with environmental management practices for performance improvement.

This study was designed to examine the existing studies on Balanced Score Card(BSC) which is being spot-lighted as the performance system in hotel industries. In addition, this study also examines the effects of BSC on service qualities when applied in service industries. Services business have different features from other manufacturing industries and also highly value the importance of service quality as a factor which can directly affect the performance in service industries. Therefore, the performance system measuring service Qualify need to be developed in terms of BSC. This study is to prove the need of strategic approach to achieve improvements in service quality using BSC. For this study, Statistical similarities were used to prove the interrelationship between service quality and four factor in BSC. However, there was a limit on the statistical and study model. To overcome the problems, more related studies need to be followed up for a general use.

Current status and quality administration of botanical products in America which has one of the biggest market need to be analyzed for the internationalization of oriental medicine. In this study, current status of botanical products as dietary supplements was analyzed and quality adminstration by United States Pharmacopoeia and National Formulary(USP-NF) was compared with The Korea Pharmacopoeia and botanical drug standard collection(KP), Even though the number of botanical products in USP-NF is small, it is rapidly increasing and more detailed compared with KP. Especially, reference standard compound should be determined for each botanical drugs, and more detailed standard for other items should be established in KP considering international trends. Though the history of botanical drugs in America is short, its annual market is about 3.2 billion dollar, so American administration system should be examined carefully for the internationalization of oriental medicine and related industry.

The purpose of this study is to discover the influence of customer's awareness toward corporate social responsibility(CSR) activities to service quality perception of the hospital. The survey was conducted on 211 patients at the general hospital in Seoul from April 2 to 30 in 2012. For the statistical analysis of data, ttest, ANOVA, and hierarchical multiple regression analysis were implemented. The results of the study were as follows. First, The personal tendency toward CSR was different by social groups. The elderly showed more tendency toward CSR. Second, there was a statistical significant relationship between the personal tendency toward CSR and the number of perceived CSR activities. Third, the effects of CSR activities were different from the perception of service quality. The awareness of volunteering social activities turned out to be negative factor of service quality perception.

This paper investigates how firms increase customer acceptance of self-service technologies in retail, and the impact of self-efficacy on customer experience, satisfaction, and loyalty. We conducted our empirical research by administering 308 questionnaires to customers of self-service convenience stores in China. We employed a structural equation model to analyze the relationship between service quality, revisit intention, and word of mouth. The results indicate that perceived service quality significantly influences customer satisfaction, with the service quality of self-service retail and experience value being important factors in consumer acceptance of self-service retail stores. Additionally, we investigated the relationship between customer experience value, satisfaction, and loyalty, and found that self-service retail stores exert a significant impact on perceived self-efficacy. Informed by the research on customer acceptance of self-service technologies in retail, promoting further development of self-service retail technologies can effectively aid companies in generating profit while offering more convenience to customers.
