The Buyeo-Cheongyang area, in the south-western area of Gyeonggi massif, comprises Precambrian and Mesozoic metamorphic and sedimentary rocks. The original rock of metamorphic rocks was studied by geochemical examination and statistical analyses of the trace elements in the gneisses, schists, shale and granitic rocks. Average abundance of Cu,Cr,Pb,Ni,Co,Mn,Li and Zn elements from gneisses have similar to those from shale and schists. However the gneisses have higher Cr,Ni,Co,Mn,Li abundance than those from the granite. Abundance range and frequency distribution of the trace elements in the gneiss show a marked trend sedimentary origin, that is, standard deviation have far the higer than that of igneous origin. Also it is wide dispersion and irregularly distribution. For that reason, this gneiss is regard as sedimentary original rocks with schists.

Demographic transition drives changes in consumer demand for food products. This study examines how rising incomes and population trends affect spending on food purchased for home. The objective of this study is to characterize the relationships between selected socio-demographic factors and food selection among South Korean households. Panel data from Rural Development Administration (RDA) in South Korea in 2010 was used (n=971). Household food purchases were classified into one of the five food groups from Composition of Foods of RDA. Multiple regression analysis was used to analyze the effects of household size and income based on the expenditure share on each food group. All statistical analyses were performed using SAS/ PC version 9.3. Results show that household socio- demographic characteristics have a strong influence on food purchasing, with the purchase of vegetables and fruit, and processed food and pre-packaged being particularly sensitive.

This study aims to understand the determinants and effects of SNS photo sharing on festival satisfaction among teenage festivalgoers, to derive strategies that festival organizers could employ to maintain long-term relationships with their audience. In this paper, we followed the festival attribute and SNS photo sharing behavior approaches for developing measurement constructs, by investigating previous related studies. Statistical analyses revealed that festival attributes positively impact consumer perceptions of festival value, which in turn influences SNS photo sharing behavior and festival satisfaction. In addition, SNS photo sharing behavior has a significant mediation effect on the process. Moreover, the differing intensities of SNS usage among the festivalgoers resulted in consumers presenting significantly different SNS photo sharing behavior. Our findings offer insights for marketers in the festival business who are interested in gaining a better understanding of the behavior of teenage festivalgoers.

The study on industrial accidents in Korea has been focused on frequencies of each type, severity, characteristics, causes, and so on. Those attributes of industrial accidents were usually analyzed independently, so that it was hard to provide a systematic guidelines for efficient safety management. Therefore, there were a few of studies based on comprehensive survey results in terms of characteristics of safety management. This study aimed to figure out the characteristics of current safety management and to provide a guideline for ideal safety management in industry. The questionnaire survey carried out for the workers(695) who were in charge of safety management at their industries. The multivariate analyses as well as descriptive statistical analysis were conducted. The factor analysis showed that there were three factors of safety management. They were 1) investment and management for accident prevention, 2) safety manager, and 3) general health and environmental condition. The industries of respondents were clustered into three groups. Three groups showed a statistically significant differences on the number of cases reported and the trends of accident. Actually, the group with the larger investment and better management of accident prevention had a smaller number of accident cases.

Identifying benefit from IT spending is of great concern to most firms in today's competing world. Cost-benefit analysis of IT spending can be conducted when firms have systematic management process of IT spending and the supporting data. This paper examined Korean firm's management process of IT spending, and proposes the best practice. Management process of IT spending and the definition of IT expense and investment were proposed based on the best practice. A proposition that "IT expenses and investments need to be distinguished to manage IT spending effectively' was proposed. Hypotheses were generated and tested with empirical data. Statistical analyses show that ratios of IT investment to IT expense were significantly different during the study period. The results of the study imply that firms can acquire useful information by distinguishing IT expense and investment in the management process of IT spending.

In this paper, we proposed some valuable analysis results of cultivation campaign marketing in A mobile telephone company. The cultivation campaign marketing is a new outbound TM campaign strategy composed of 4 steps for new subscribers. During the analyses, attrition rate of A mobile company, outbound TM rejection rate, contact rate/call success rate and additional service attrition rate after subscription are measured as an effect of cultivation campaign. The results showed that there were no statistical significance in improving retention rate between customers experienced 4 step cultivation campaign and control group. However, the cultivation campaign had a better effect on improving response rate and success of selling additional service product of mobile company compared to general selling campaign. This is because cultivation campaign group had been taking care of from subscription time. It is suggested that cultivation campaign had better confined customers more likely to buy additional service to outbound TM for the sake of financial efficiency.
