Background: The classification of foot type can be commonly determined by the height of the media longitudinal arch. The normalized arch height (NAH) is defined as the ratio of navicular or instep heights to the foot length or instep length. Objects: This study investigated the relationships among foot characteristics, such as foot length (FL), instep length (IL), navicular height (NH), and instep height (IH), in Korean young adults. Also, the distribution of foot type based on calculated NAH was assessed. Methods: Three-dimensional foot scanning data of young adults aged 20 to 39 years (total: 1,978; 974 male, 1,004 female) were obtained from the Korea Technology Standards Institute, and used for analyses. NAH was calculated as the following: NH/FL, IH/FL, IH/IL, NH/ IL. Spearman’s rank order correlation was used to identify correlations among variables. The Mann–Whitney U-test and chi-square test were used to compare the sex differences in foot characteristics and distribution of foot type. Results: FL and IL showed a very high correlation (r = 0.94). The correlations between FL or IL and IH (r = 0.50–0.57) were greater than those between FL or IL and NH (r = 0.23–0.72). Males had significantly larger values than females (p < 0.001), and the frequency of pes planus was significantly higher in females than in males (χ2 = 50.09, p < 0.001). Based on the IH/IL index, the neutral foot, pes planus and pes cavus distributed by 16%, 78%, and 6% respectively. Conclusion: Our results on foot arch distribution could be used as basic data in clinical or footwear fields, and our data on differences in arch structure according to sex may facilitate understanding of why injury to the lower limbs differs between males and females.

섬쥐똥나무는 울릉도의 숲 지대에 자생하는 한국 특산식물 이다. 본 연구는 섬쥐똥나무 종자의 휴면유형을 분류하기 위 하여 GA3 처리(0, 10, 100, 1000mg･L-1), 저온층적처리(5℃에 서 0, 4, 8, 10주), move along test를 수행하였다. 각각 처리 한 종자는 25℃로 유지되는 생장상에서 25μmol･m-2 ･s-1의 광 도로 16시간 일장조건에서 배양하였다. 섬쥐똥나무 종자는 배 가 완전히 성숙한 상태로 탈리되며, 불투수성이 존재하지 않 았지만, 무처리 상태에서 4주동안 발아하지 않았다. 따라서 섬쥐똥나무 종자는 생리적 휴면을 가지고 있는 것으로 판단하 였다. GA3 처리실험 결과 각 처리(0, 10, 100, 1000mg･L-1)별 로 최종발아율은 각각 30.0, 40.0, 53.3, 38.3%를 기록하였다. 저온처리 실험결과 모든 처리구에서 저온이 끝나고 15-16주의 시간이 지난 다음 발아를 시작하였다. 온도 처리별 실험결과 15℃처리에서 6주만에 발아를 시작하여 17주차에 약 88.3%, 20℃ 처리에서는 13주차에 발아를 시작하여 19주차에 약 Fig. 6. Germination of Ligustrum foliosum seeds as affected by light conditions. Seeds were incubated at 15℃ under light (16 h) or dark conditions during 11 weeks after soaking seeds in 1000 mg·L-1 GA3 solution for 24 h. Control seeds were soaked in distilled water for 24 h. Error bars indicate mean ± SE of three replications. www.ijfs.org Flower Res. J. (2017) 25(3) : 124-132 131 98.8%, 25→20→15℃처리는 15주차에 발아를 시작하여 17주 차에 약 98.8%, 5→15→20℃처리는 16주차에 발아를 시작하 여 20주차에 약 31.6%, 25℃에서는 17주차에 발아를 시작하 여 20주차에 약 38.3%의 최종발아율을 기록하였다. 반면, 5℃ 처리에서는 발아가 이루어지지 않았다. 위 결과들을 종합해보 면 섬쥐똥나무 종자는 생리적 휴면을 가지고 있고, 세부 유형 으로 non-deep PD 유형을 가지고 있는 것으로 판단된다.

The purpose of this study is to provide foot classification on young men and women by factor analysis. The sample for this work was chosen from data which were collected and measured by Size Korea during two years (2003~2004). In order to analyze and compare features of the foot of young men and women, analysis was performed about 911 subjects (male: 467, female: 444) on 24 parts such as height (8 parts), width (5 parts), thickness (1 part), circumference (3 parts), length (3 parts) and angle (4 parts). The result of this study can be applied in manufacturing and design of shoes and socks. Also, it will enable us to have fruitful information on considerable items during manufacturing and design of shoes and socks.

The typical Japanese house has the characteristics of open dwellings to make them cool in the hot and humid summer. And then the traditional town house 'Machiya', being built very closely to each other and walled up both sides, it has taken the open-oriented characteristics in itself. The purpose of this study is to clarify that the open-oriented of traditional 'Machiya' has been succeeded to the new 'Machiya' in the latest. The new 'Machiya' shows the open-oriented, taking the ventilative 'Huki-nuke' space of traditional 'Machiya' as the new spatial formal elements, in the changes such as scale material space organization. The characteristics of 'Huki-nuke' space are represented as follows ; 1. The facade of the traditional 'Machiya', which has taken on a semitransparent qualty, has been generally changed to the closing qualty except for the open parts of shop and garage. This facade of the new 'Machiya' has been taken to be in keeping with the existing town as much as possible. 2. A series of three rooms, composed of shop/living dining kitchen/room from the road, have been dispersed to every floors in a building with a very extensive scale. But this serial and linear type remains as the loosefit space, and the long dwellings of the upper stories are divided by type each dwelling unit. 3. 'Tori-niwa', which is a consecutive and penetrating space, connects the road with the rooms of dwelling and functions as the circulation of man thing energy, The new 'Machiya' changed to the multi-story, the corridor and the stair have been fumed up as the elements in the place of 'Tori-niwa' The 'Huki-nuke' space was locted in the hall, stairwell, living dining kitchen room, and so on. 4. The small court yard 'Tsubo-niwa' and back yard 'Ura-niwa' at the both ends of living spaces would be made a hole in a series of rooms and enclosed by the neighboring 'Machiya'. On the contrary the new 'Machiya' at present takes in the private and closing organization enclosing the innercourt. 5. The open-oriented 「In」 or 「Out」 is not brought out because of the delicate spatial formal configuration in the traditional 'Machiya'. But the open-oriented 「In」, all sides being closed by walls, is well brought out in the new 'Machiya'.
