Background: The integration of gamification in education necessitates understanding the relationship between learner characteristics and educational outcomes. Methods: This study explores the correlation between Bartle’s player types (Achiever, Explorer, Socializer, Killer) and Reid’s perceptual learning styles (Visual, Auditory, Tactile, Kinesthetic) among 343 South Korean nursing students. Results: Socializer was the most common player type (34.7%), and Auditory learning was the most preferred style (31.7%). Significant correlations were found, such as Achievers aligning with Auditory styles and Explorers with Kinesthetic styles. Conclusion: These results emphasize the need for gamification-based nursing education programs tailored to diverse learner profiles, offering a pathway to enhance engagement and learning outcomes.

This study aims to identify the diverse types and characteristics of signatures that appear in contemporary fashion while primarily brand focusing on emerging Korean designer brands. To this end, qualitative content analysis using news articles and in-depth interviews with 15 emerging Korean designers were conducted. The news article analysis revealed six types of signatures: design based on formative sensibility expression, strategically constructed designer/brand identity, brand practices carried by cultural and spatial experiences, craftsmanship and custom production, contemporary reinterpretation of traditional designs, and text-based visual symbolic systems. The result of the in-depth interviews identified five types of signatures among emerging Korean designer brands: design expressions evolving from designer and brand identity, production emphasizing practicality and craftmanship, brand experiences based on spaces, visual narrative symbolism, and limited-edition items. Unlike established fashion brands that focus on fixed visual or textual elements through strategic planning by the established fashion brands, emerging Korean designer brands gradually and dynamically develop signatures which are grounded in personal philosophy, ethical values, and ongoing interaction with consumers. The findings of this study imply that the signatures of emerging Korean designer brands are not merely aesthetic repetitions, but are instead representations of evolving and situated expressions that interacts with and responds to socio-cultural changes and contexts.

Despite its historical association with oppression, fear, and marginalized femininity, modern reinterpretations of the figure of the witch position it as a symbolic entity combining historical context and literary imagination. This study analyzes contemporary fashion designs that incorporate witch imagery, focusing on the designs' representational methods and aesthetic characteristics. It includes a literature review examining evolving perceptions of witches across different eras as well as visual and formal analyses of post-2010 fashion collections, using image and text materials from Showstudio.com and other online sources. In various realms of visual culture–including art, film and drama, advertising, product design, and halloween costumes–the image of the witch is no longer confined to traditional iconography. Instead, it is continuously reimagined, taking on expanded and multifaceted meanings that attest to its unique and evolving nature. This study identifies two primary expressive types: direct iconographic appropriation, employing traditional motifs such as pointed hats, black cloaks, and pentacles; and metaphorical suggestion, using dark tones, deconstructed silhouettes, and layered styling to imply the witch's essence. The analyses also highlight three aesthetic characteristics: empowered sensuality, expressed through sheer fabrics and dramatic makeup; supernatural mysticism, combining natural and occult symbols; and uncanny playfulness, which subverts traditional motifs through fantasy and humor. Ultimately, the witch in contemporary fashion serves as both a stylistic code and a visual signifier of cultural narrative and identity. This reimagining has contributed to the development of new aesthetic systems in fashion and broadened the visual culture and design innovation discourse.

Business model(BM) innovation is widely known as a differentiated strategy and strategic framework for companies to secure a sustainable competitive advantage in an uncertain environment. While prior research has studied new business models in accordance with changes in manufacturing trends such as digitalization and servitization, empirical understanding of the dynamic processes of BM innovation is still lacking. This study addresses this gap by proposing an analytical framework of the BM innovation matrix that classifies companies' BM innovation cases into four types according to the degree of BM change and the influential level of the industry/market outcome through a critical literature review on business models and dynamics. Drawing on this framework, we conduct longitudinal case studies of leading global 3D printing firms to examine the dynamic processes and external environmental factors that shape the evolution of BM innovation. Our findings reveal previously underexplored patterns of co-evolution between firms’ business models and their broader industrial and market environments. This study has the significance of constructing a framework for dynamically analyzing BM innovation based on longitudinal case studies of emerging 3D printing companies. We presented implications for companies seeking successful commercialization of emerging technologies, such as the strategic usefulness of the BM innovation framework and the importance of co-evolution with industrial structure and environmental factors in the process of change.

본 연구는 태평광기 ‘鬼部’의 여성귀신 고사를 ‘인귀연애형’과 ‘파괴응징형’으로 분류하여 분석했다. 인귀연애형은 인간과 귀신의 정서적 교류와 사랑의 지속성을 중 심으로, 파괴응징형은 억울한 죽음을 겪은 귀신의 복수와 사회질서 전복을 특징으로 한다. 두 유형이 중첩된 서사에서는 감정의 대상에서 응징의 주체로 전환되는 ‘감정 적 전이 구조’가 나타난다. 이러한 분석을 통해 여성귀신 서사가 당대의 정서 구조와 젠더 질서를 반영하는 문화적 상징체계임을 밝히고, 여성귀신을 정서와 응징의 주체 로 재해석한다. 나아가 본 연구는 향후 동시대 설화 및 타 문헌과의 비교를 통해 귀 신 서사의 문학적, 문화사적 함의를 확장할 수 있는 가능성을 제시한다.

To conduct a comprehensive assessment of aquatic ecosystems, it is necessary to understand the characteristics of lentic ecosystems such as lakes, in addition to rivers. This requires analyzing the characteristics of biological communities in lakes and developing appropriate assessment indices. In this study, we analyzed the distributional characteristics of benthic macroinvertebrate communities collected from 90 lakes between 2022 and 2024, according to four categories of lake types (inflow stream type, lake size, salinity characteristics, and trophic states). The environmental variables used to classify lake types (catchment area, altitude, area of water, electrical conductivity, total phosphorus, and chlorophyll-a) all followed a log-normal distribution with positive skewness. Most of the lake types were characterized by inflow from lowland small streams, small or middle size, and freshwater lakes. However, in terms of trophic states, many lakes were assessed as mesotrophic or eutrophic. Analysis of seven community structure characteristics (taxa richness, taxa abundance, dominance, diversity, richness, evenness, and Lake Benthic Macroinvertebrate Assessment Index, LBAI) and two functional groups (feeding and habitat) showed clear changes primarily associated with trophic states, while other lake types showed irregular increase or decrease or similar levels. In the CCA, which analyzed dominant taxa by abundance and six environmental variables, the distribution patterns of lakes were more clearly distinguished by salinity characteristics related to electrical conductivity, unlike the community indices. The results of this study are expected to serve as basic data for future monitoring and assessment of lake aquatic ecosystems using benthic macroinvertebrates.

관상학(Physiognomy)은 오랜 역사에도 불구하고 경험적 검증의 부재로 미신 으로 치부되어 왔으나, 일부 실용 분야에서는 활발히 참조되어 이론과 실제 간의 괴리가 존재했다. 이에 본 연구는 ‘외형이 내면을 반영한다’는 관상학의 핵심 전제를 현대 통계 방법론으로 실증적으로 검증하고자, MBTI의 감정형 (F)-사고형(T) 유형과 관상학적 얼굴 특징 간의 상관관계를 분석하였다. 총 77 명의 참여자로부터 사진 데이터를 수집하여, 관상학 이론에 기반한 6가지 얼 굴 특징(눈 크기, 눈동자 크기, 코끝의 살, 입술 두께 등)을 전문가와 함께 5점 척도로 코딩하였다. 수립된 가설을 검증하기 위해 선형 및 로지스틱 회귀분석 을 적용하였다. 분석 결과, F/T 유형은 ‘눈길이’를 제외한 5가지 특징에서 유의미한 차이를 보였으며, 감정형(F) 집단이 더 큰 눈, 도톰한 입술 등을 갖는 경향을 나타냈 다. 또한, F/T 유형을 예측하는 로지스틱 회귀 모델(Pseudo R²=.462)에서는 ‘눈 동자 크기’, ‘코끝의 살’, ‘입술 두께’가 통계적으로 유의미한 핵심 예측 변수로 확인되었다. 본 연구는 관상학적 특징과 성격 유형 간의 실증적 연관성을 규 명함으로써, 관상학을 탈신비화하고 과학적 탐구의 대상으로 전환할 수 있는 가능성을 제시하며, 이는 관상학이 향후 심리학, 인공지능 등과 융합될 수 있 는 토대를 마련했다는 점에서 학술적 의의를 지닌다.

Before the fire brigade arrives at the scene, the fastest way for occupants to suppress a fire is by discharging water through indoor hydrant outlets equipped with electronically controlled valves or motorized valves, as these systems are designed to open automatically. The experimental results are as follows: (1) Regarding electronically controlled valve operation times, system A had the shortest activation time of 6.74 seconds after the fire signal, while system J recorded the longest time at 13.4 seconds. (2) For angle valves (older model), system A had the shortest operation time of 10.2 seconds, whereas system I recorded the longest at 17.8 seconds. (3) For angle valves (newer model), system A again had the shortest activation time of 10.2 seconds, while system I recorded the longest at 17.8 seconds. (4) For motorized valve operation times, system A had the shortest activation time of 3.81 seconds, and system I the longest at 6.55 seconds. The observed differences in operation times are attributed to the fact that angle valves require manual operation by occupants, causing delays and slower valve opening, which increases activation times. In contrast, electronically controlled valves and motorized valves operate automatically, resulting in significantly shorter activation times.

The purpose of this study is to provide the basic data necessary for establishing a system for analyzing the dimensions and body types of men aged 30–59. The subjects were 1,247 adult males selected based on data from the 8th Korean anthropometric survey; the direct and calculated values constituted 36 items; and descriptive statistics analysis, factor analysis, and cluster analysis were conducted. the descriptive statistics analysis revealed that the weight difference between individuals was high, while the height difference was low. Overall, the differences between individuals were high in waist-related items and low in lower limb circumference-related items. It was found that knee height and hip side length increased in subjects aged in their late 30s and decreased in those aged in their early 50s, while lower leg circumference decreased with age from the late 30s onward. The factor analysis identified four dimensions: “horizontal size of lower body,” “vertical size of lower body,” “hip length,” and “ankle size.” on the basis of the cluster analysis, they were classified into the following types: “tall body shape with long waist and hips, bent legs and hips, thick legs and ankles,” “slim body shape with short legs and short hips,” and “slim body shape with short legs and thin ankles.” A follow-up study is required to analyze changes in body shape over time based on annual measurements. We believe that this study will furnish basic data for establishing a measurement system for men’s clothing.

Background: Logistics service workers (LSWs) face significant occupational challenges, with ankle sprains being the second most prevalent work-related musculoskeletal disorder. Foot posture, assessed through the navicular drop test, can significantly influence dynamic balance performance, which is crucial for injury prevention in physically demanding occupational settings. Objects: This study aimed to investigate differences in dynamic balance performance among LSWs with pronated, supinated, and normal foot types using the Y-Balance test (YBT), comparing reach distances across anterior, posteromedial, and posterolateral directions. Methods: A total of 205 LSWs were classified into three groups based on navicular drop measurements: supinated (n = 44), normal (n = 94), and pronated (n = 67) foot types. The YBT was performed on the dominant leg, measuring reach distances in three directions. Participants’ demographic characteristics were recorded, and statistical analyses were conducted using one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) with Bonferroni correction. Results: Significant differences in YBT performance were observed across all three directions (anterior: p = 0.009, posterolateral: p = 0.015, posteromedial: p = 0.014). The supinated and normal foot groups showed significantly greater reach distances compared to the pronated group (p < 0.026 for anterior direction). In the posterolateral direction, the supinated group demonstrated significantly better performance compared to the pronated group (p = 0.014). Similarly, the posteromedial direction revealed significantly higher reach distances for the supinated group compared to the pronated group (p = 0.012). Conclusion: The study reveals that foot type significantly impacts dynamic balance performance among LSWs. Workers with pronated feet demonstrate reduced balance capabilities, while those with supinated feet show the most superior dynamic balance performance.
