The aim of this study was to evaluate the basic data of Cirsium setidens Nakai fine powder (FPC), which will then be used in the development of functional fooditems. We measures and evaluated the level of pectolinarin content, phenol content, flavonoids content, antioxidants and anti-obesity properties of FPC. Our results from the study showed that the pectolinarin, phenol, and flavonoids contents of FPC measured at 10.95±0.15 mg/g, 12.92±0.18 mg gallic acid equivalent (GAE)/g and 26.47±0.77 mg rutin equivalent (RE)/g, respectively. The exhibited antioxidant activity of FPC increased significantly depending on the dosage, and additionally. FPC did not show any cytotoxicity up to the dosage level of 500 μg/mL. During adipocyte differentiation, FPC significantly inhibited ROS production and lipid accumulation, compared with the control substance. These results suggest that FPC could be considered a promising resource of natural antioxidants and could serve a variety of health-improving roles in the production of functional food ingredients.

광양항은 ‘98년 개장 이후 현재 16개 선석(5만 톤급 12선석, 2만 톤급 4선석)을 운영 중에 있다. 특히 광양지역은 광양만권의 핵심 역할을 하는 광양항이 위치하고 있다. 본 논문은 광양지역의 물류도시 발전 전략의 우선순위를 도출하기 위하여 SWOT/AHP 분석 방법을 사 용하였다. 분석 결과, 수익 창출형 물류 비즈니스 모델 창출, 항만기능과 연계된 국제적인 배후물류단지 개발, 공동물류창고 운영 등의 비용절 감형 물류 비즈니스 모델 창출, 자유무역지역의 고부가가치화 전략 그리고 광역항만클러스터 조성 등에 우선순위를 두고 전략을 수립하는 것 이 바람직한 것으로 도출되었다. 본 연구의 한계점으로는 도출된 우선순위에 대한 논리적 타당성 검증이 필요하며 이를 위해서는 일정한 주 기로 동일한 설문대상자를 대상으로 설문을 수회 실시하여 그 결과를 비교 분석하는 작업이 필요하다. 또한 향후, 보다 심도 있는 심층면접이 나 광범위한 설문조사를 통해 전략이 보완되어져야 할 필요가 있다. 향후, 이러한 한계점을 개선하고 보완할 수 있는 보다 심층적이고 실증적 인 연구가 수행되어져야 할 것이다.

The primary purpose of this study is to examine empirically the effect of the organizational characteristics in the vessel with foreign crews on their self-efficacy and organization commitment. Currently, the restrictions on the employment of the foreign crews are being eased in the Korean shipping industry and many problems are occurring consequently. However, specific and empirical studies on the relevancy of organizational characteristics to the crew's self-efficacy and organizational commitment on board the vessels with combined crews have not yet been carried out. To solve these problems, we examined how the organizational characteristics such as communication and leadership trust of different language and culture related to vessels with combined crews influence on the self-efficacy, job satisfaction and organizational commitment of the foreign crews through SEM analysis. According to the results, hypothesis 1, 2 and 3 were all supported with statistical significance. That means that communication and leadership trust of the vessel with foreign crew had positive effects on their self-efficacy and that such self-efficacy also had a positive effect on the organizational commitment and job satisfaction. To conclude, this study suggests that foreign crew's self-efficacy should be firstly enhanced in order to improve organizational commitment on the vessel with combined crews. Furthermore, studies on self-efficacy of foreign crew's organization are urgently needed to enhance the effectiveness of an organization in a vessel with combined crews that has special environment - working environment with depression and uneasiness due to the exposure to the different language and culture, and excessive stress from the social and psychological adaptation. Therefore, an attempt of this study is considered to be timely since there has not been a study on this subject so far and result of this study will contribute a lot to the organization management of a vessel with combined crews.

The purpose of this paper is to study a relationship between alliance success factors and performances of strategic alliance. In order to achieve the purpose of this research, factor analysis, reliability and validity and regression method are used. In conclusion, alliance success factors can be divided as mutual complementarity and information sharing factor, sharing and mutual agreement of vision and goal factor, performance management factor and culture and organization factor. According to regression results, all of four factors affects significantly dependent variables. Among them, mutual complementarity and information sharing mostly affects each dependent variable.

This study investigated the perceptions and dietary behavior on herbs and foods with 880 students (436 male and 444 female). The results of this study were as follows. First, it was found that 66.5% of the respondents know herbs. Female (70.3%) knew more than male (62.6%) (p＜0.05). They knew herb through mass communication with 46.3%. Second, herb was used as materials for tea with 81.0%. Herb was also used as ornamental plants with 56.5%. Third, parsley (86.5%) was much well known and mint (85.1%), rosemary (80.9%), etc. in order in terms of perceptions of herb which used as food ingredients among 12 herbs. Fourth, the respondents like Korean food than other with 70.1% and taste is regarded as the most important factor with 76.7%. The monthly eating expenses among respondents was 50 to-100 thousand Won. Fifth, they perceived that herb could make the flavor of food be better (M=4.18).

This paper aims to understand and analyze the mega-trends such as trends towards larger vessels due to an increasing trade volume, accordingly fewer port calls, strategic alliances and M&A Increasing degree of concentration through M&A activities in shipping industry results in a decreasing number of shipping finns with an increasing share in the world shipping capacity. But competition is strongly increasing on main trunk routes. Therefore, shipping concentration directly leads to further concentration of port traffic in fewer and larger ports with an increasing competition among neighboring ports.
