Recently, the desire for low body weight, which is an abnormal weight construct along with obesity, has become an evident and serious problem in teenagers. In Korea, the desire for low weight is not perceived as an important problem, but it is rapidly expanding relative to the physical changes and developmental issues teenagers experience. The social atmosphere presented through mass media is the key influencer for the increasing low weight occurrence in teenagers. Because thoughts about beauty have changed among people, and since there is apparent blind interest in slim body shape and appearance, already low-weight individuals are attempting to lose weight along with obese persons. Thus, we consider it necessary to guide teenagers toward having correct perceptions with regard to weight and their own body shape, and that a healthy and appropriate weight is beautiful. Therefore, for this study, we investigated body perception, abnormal weight, attitude toward weight control, and factors related to eating behavior among teenage girls, who are considered the at risk group for overt body weight control behavior. Based on this, we have attempted to set in motion a systematic and active nutrition education program that will allow us to increase body satisfaction by educating on nutritional issues related to development, and ultimately, implant healthy body shape perceptions.

The purpose of this study was to survey the current status of bread menus at school, business and industry (B & I), and military foodservice operations and to analyze dietitians' perceptions of applying rice bread in foodservice menus. A questionnaire, which was developed by content analysis, situation analysis, and in-depth interview, was distributed to 183 schools, 31 B & I operations, and 26 air force dietitians. In the school and B & I foodservices, wheat bread was used much more than rice bread and serving frequencies of morning rolls and sliced bread were higher. The military foodservices, however, served much more rice bread as burger buns than the other groups. For the school and B&I operations, consumer preference for wheat bread was perceived as high. In contrast, soldiers preferred rice bread to wheat bread in the military foodservices. The recognized advantages of using rice bread were different among the three groups. The military dietitians perceived the main advantage of using rice bread as an increase of rice consumption, while the school and B & I dietitians viewed it as promoting a healthy image. In all groups, the primary difficulties for using rice bread were the higher cost of rice bread as compared to wheat bread and a lack of facilities (e.g. oven). The military dietitians had the highest levels of positive and active interest as well as intention and opinions toward using rice bread. On the other hand, the school and B & I dietitians had very positive perceptions of rice bread but did not actually apply it in their foodservice menus. Overall, the results of this study suggest that the development of diverse menus using rice bread along with government support of its use, including facilities with ovens as well as rice bread subsidies, should be carried out for on-going expansion of the rice bread supply.

For globalization of Korean food, It is essential to research and analyze target markets in advance. However until recently, there has been a lack of food research in regions of select countries in order to create systematic plans for marketing Korean foods. Therefore this study aimed to investigate the recognition of Korean foods as compared to other Asian foods in young adults living in Vaxjo, Sweden. Over 90 percent of the Swedish students had experienced Thai and Chinese cuisines, indicating their popularity as Asian foods in Sweden. The participants were attracted to six positive attributes of Asian food: 'fresh vegetables', 'low fat', 'chicken and sea food', 'exotic ingredients', 'good value for the money' and 'unknown foods'. The favorite type of Asian food was Thai food and Korean food was the least tried, as over 50% of respondents linked it to 'unknown food' attributes. Based on these results, in order to introduce Korean food more successfully, focus should be placed on the unique and unknown attributes of Korean food, as well as emphasis placed on its healthfulness, to stimulate the curiosity of target markets such as young Swedish adults.

유아들의 놀이 도구 중 하나인 스토리 북 게임은 책을 펼친 뒤, 해당 내용을 눈으로 보면서 이야기 전개에 따라 해당하는 페이지로 이동하면서 이야기를 엮어가는 게임이다. 스토리 북 게임은 유아들에게 게임과 학습의 기능을 접목시킨 것으로 사고력 증진을 위해서 많이 활용되고 있으나 시각적 효과의 한계와 청각적 효과를 제공하지 못하는 단점을 보완하기 위해서는 멀티미디어 매체와의 접목이 불가피하다. 하지만 현재의 도서와 멀티 미디어 매체의 접목은 수동적 접근으로 이루어지고 있으나 게임이 진행되는 동안 정확한 위치로 빠르게 이동하여 시각적, 청각적 효과를 제공함에는 한계를 가지고 있다. 이러한 단점을 해소하기 위해 스토리 북 게임용도서의 콘텐츠 상에 펜으로 갖다 대면 콘텐츠의 내용을 판별하고 펜에서 외부기기인 IPTV로 판별된 내용을 전달하고 TV로 콘텐츠의 내용을 출력할 수 있게끔 콘텐츠 패턴 인식 및 블루투스를 지원하는 지능형 펜 설계를 제안한다. 이는 기존의 도서에서 제공되지 않는 출판물에 대한 직접 인덱싱 기능을 부가함으로 빠른 접근으로 게임 참여자인 유아들의 집중력 향상 및 이야기 전개의 재미를 높이는 효과를 보인다.

This paper examines whether Korean students learning English are familiar with gender-neutral language. A total of 149 first-year university students were asked to choose the words they would use when speaking or writing English. The questions in the questionnaire consist of two types: Type I asked the students to arrange the given two words (e.g., gentlemen, ladies; boys, girls) in the parallel-pair form conjoined by and; Type II asked the students to choose one of the two words or phrases (e.g., policeman, police officer; anchorman, anchor). Of the eight parallel pairs in Type I, four were chosen where the word order of Korean and English is reversed (e.g., ladies and gentlemen) and the other four pairs have the same order (e.g., boys and girls) in both Korean and English. The students did better with the same order pairs than with the reversed order pairs with the exception of ladies and gentlemen. Of the nine pairs in Type II, a majority of both female and male students picked five gender-neutral words: anchor, firefighter, mail carrier, police officer and flight attendant. The four gender-specific words they preferred were chairman, salesman, freshman and actress.

The purpose of this study was to measure employee ‘awareness’ and ‘practice’ of business ethics in the foodservice industry, and to determine possible correlations between these two variables. Self administrated questionnaires were completed by 1003 employees and data were analysed to ascertain frequency, factor, reliability, correlation and canonical correlation. Two factors were obtained from factor analysis of business ethics(BE) awareness; “Organizational awareness”, and “Individual awareness”. Similarly, two factors were also obtained for business ethics practice; “Systematic practice”, and “Compensatory practice”. Canonical correlation analysis produced two significant functions. For canonical function 1, it was found that organizational awareness of BE was positively correlated with systematic practice. For canonical function 2, it was found that individual awareness of BE was negatively correlated with the compensatory practices of BE. The findings of this study demonstrate that higher organizational awareness of business ethics in the foodservice industry led to higher systematic practices of BE, while higher individual awareness of BE led to lower compensatory practices of BE. In conclusion, higher organizational awareness of BE places a higher priority on building an external system from an institutional perspective, while higher employees awareness of BE leads to higher expectation from the company, resulting in relatively low compensatory practices.

The objectives of this study were to: a) examine foreign customers’ satisfaction and expectations for the food and service attributes of Korean restaurants located in the U.S., b) measure the gap between the satisfaction and expectations for food and service attributes, c) analyze through IPA analysis the crucial attributes needing improvement in order to minimize the discrepancy between customers’ expectations and performance, and d) analyze the effects of factors related to the food and service attributes on overall customer satisfaction in regard to Korean restaurant selection. A total of 255 American customers who had visited four Korean restaurants located within metropolitan and rural areas of the U.S. were surveyed for this study. Statistical analyses, including t-tests, factor analysis, and multiple regression, were performed using the SPSS statistical package (12.0). The American customers’ overall satisfaction of the food and services offered by the Korean restaurants was relatively high, with the exception of tangible service attributes such as comfortable chairs, restroom cleanliness, and restaurant interior. The urban foreign customers, however, were dissatisfied with the use of healthful ingredients in Korean food, because their expectation level toward this aspect exceeded their satisfaction level. In terms of Korean restaurant selection, tangible services related to the restaurant facilities were identified as the critical factor having an effect on American customer satisfaction.

이 연구는 우리나라 영재교육에서의 소그룹 탐구활동에서의 실태 및 인식을 정량적으로 조사한 것이다. 임의 표본으로 전국의 16개 도시의 영재담당 교사 614명, 수학에서는 1,670명, 과학에서는 1,732의 영재학생이 이 연구에 참여하였다. 자료 수집을 위하여 본 연구의 연구자들은 기존의 관련 문헌을 바탕으로 협동학습 형태의 소그룹활동 및 탐구활동에 대한 설문지를 개발하여 실태 및 인식을 조사하였다. 이 연구의 결과는 (1) 현 한국의 영재교육에서의 소그룹 탐구활동은 교실 내에서 효과적인 학습 및 교수법으로 빈번하게 사용되고 있었다. 또한 한국영재교육에서의 소그룹 탐구활동에 대해 교사 및 영재학생들은 인지적 및 정의적 측면에서 긍정적으로 인식하고 있음에도 불구하고, (2) 실질적으로 학생간의 상호작용을 활발하게 도모하기 위한 교수법이나 효과적인 조구성을 위한 교수법은 사용하지 않았다. 이는 영재교육에서 이루어지고 있는 소그룹 탐구활동은 단순한 전통적인 그룹 활동에 불과하다는 것을 지적하며, (3) 이는 영재담당 교사들의 소집단 탐구활동, 특히 협동학습 관련 이해 및 지식이 충분하지 않아 효과적으로 적용할 수 있는 교수법의 부족에서 오는 것이라 할 수 있겠다. 한국영재교육에서의 효과적인 소그룹 탐구활동의 적용을 위해서는 영재담당 교사연수를 통해 소그룹 탐구활동에 대한 이해도 및 지식을 반성하고 개발하며 또한, 학생들의 상호작용을 극대화할 수 있는 관련된 교수법 및 교수 모델을 창안할 수 있는 기회가 제공되어야 할 것이다.

The objective of this study is to evaluate the mechanical behaviors and structural integrity of the weldment of high strength steel by using an acoustic emission (AE) techniques. Simple tension and AE tests were conducted against the 3 kind of welding test specimens. In order to analysis the effectiveness of weldability, joinability and structural integrity, we used K-means clustering method as a unsupervised learning pattern recognition algorithm for obtained multivariate AE main data sets, such as AE counts, energy, amplitude, hits, risetime, duration, counts to peak and rms signals. Through the experimental results, the effectiveness of the proposed method is discussed.

본 연구는 교정공무원을 대상으로 교도관의 성별, 근무기간의 장단, 근무장소(범수별 수용기관)의 차이가 교도관의 태도와 인식에 어떠한 영향을 미치는지에 대한 연구이다. 그 결과 여성교도관의 경우 남성에 비해 인간관계와 조직에 대한 충성도, 애착도, 보상도가 더 높았으나 수용처우에 있어 자신감은 남성교도관에게 높게 나타났다. 또한 근무기간이 많을 수록 (11년 이상의 근무자) 개인존중감과 직장생활만족도에 있어 자긍심이 높은 것으로 나타났다. 그 외 다른 변수의 경우 평균편차의 차이는 있었지만 유의미한 것은 아니었다. 이는 수형자의 범수별 수용구분에 따른 처우에도 불구하고 근무기관에 따라 차별적 인식도를 보일 것이라는 일반적 기대와는 다른 것으로, 수형자에 대한 과학적인 분류 및 개별처우가 미흡하다는 사실을 간접적으로 나타낸 것으로 해석되어진다. 향후 개정법령에 따라 실시예정인 계호등급에 의한 단계별 처우의 성공적인 정착을 위해서는 시설별로 보다 자세한 처우기준을 마련하고, 각 시설에 따라 조직가치와 근무자의 행위 통제를 위한 적정한 교육이 선행되어야 할 것임을 예고하고 있다.

본 연구에서는 얼굴 표정 정서를 인식하는데 있어서 우울 집단과 통제 집단간에 차이가 있는지를 알아보고자 하였다. 연구 대상은 305명의 대학생에게 BDI-II를 실시하여 14점(상위 20%) 이상을 얻은 학생을 우울 집단으로, 5점 이하(하위 20%)를 얻은 학생을 통제 집단으로 선정하였다. 최종적으로 우울 집단 20명, 통제 집단 20명이 분석에 포함되었으며, 이들에게 기쁨, 슬픔, 화남, 두려움의 각 얼굴 표정이 중립에서부터 시작되어 점점 정서 강도가 커지면서 가장 강한 강도의 표정 사진에 이르도록 변하는 자극을 제시하였다. 그 결과, 집단과 정서(특히 기쁨-슬픔 조건)간의 유의한 상호작용 효과가 관찰되었고, 이러한 결과는 우울감이 얼굴 표정과 같은 정서적 정보처리에 영향을 미친다는 것을 의미한다. 우울한 개인의 이러한 정서 일치적 정보 처리 경향이 가지는 함의에 대하여 논의하였다.

If we may practice the nutrition education planned on the basis which carefully grasped the inappropriate behavioral determinants of middle-school students, it might be an effective method achieving the change in perception and behavior improving the distorted perception about the ideal body shape, so we are to suggest the 8 week program of body shape perception improvement for successful nutrition education as follows. The body shape perception improvement program is a step-by-step group consulting program. At the introduction stage, we let them understand the meaning of true beauty and body change of teenage period and forming of sexual identity. At the stage of perception conversion, we let them have the opportunity to observe the status of body perception of the teenager and self-observation. At the stage of correction, we let them criticize the distorted body image in the society with mass media at the same time with the self-reflection. At the stage of maintenance and evaluation, we suggested the behavior guidance while preparing it. Setting this as the basis, we applied the contents such as the evaluations through cultural sharing events making somethings while directly participating. As the target groups to practice education were middle school students, we considered the learning level and behavioral features of the middle school students, and composed the programs including the methods such as role play, watching real things, media production, discussions and experiences. If the program of body shape perception improvement developed at this study could be utilized at the field of schools, the teenagers can change their ways of thought naturally avoiding the view about unified appearance rightly perceiving negative self-image that the teenagers can have and if the group consulting can be practiced regularly at each school, many students may experience the change in perception, so it might solicit the improvement of health of the families and local societies as well as that of the individual student.
