  • In recent years, the number of foot disease patients due to bad walking habits and living environment is increasing. We examine how patients with mild foot disease according to shoe design characteristics affect satisfaction and purchase intention when purchasing orthopedic shoes. The design characteristics of shoes consisted of functionality, convenience, and aesthetics. It was found that aesthetics had an effect on purchasing orthopedic shoes. Even if the factors of functionality and convenience have little effect, if the aesthetic is high, purchase intention and satisfaction are affected. Various elements are required for design according to the frequency of participation in social activities for each mild foot disease and the purpose of wearing it. It is expected that the development of useful orthopedic shoe designs that patients with mild foot disease can wear in their daily life will lead to practical application and satisfaction by further supplementing the characteristic factors of orthopedic shoe design identified through the research results.

  • Pneumonia is one of the important diseases in commercial pig. In order to delineate the relationships with pneumonia and productions traits, five different economic traits including carcass weight(CW), backfat thickness(BF), meat quality(MQ), carcass characteristics(CC) and pork belly thickness(PB) were measured in 6,362 commercial pigs. Significant differences were observed in all the traits with pneumonia(P<0.01). Carcass weight and backfat thickness decreased significantly as the symptom of pneumonia was severed (P<0.01). Also, when the pneumonia was severed, the carcass characteristics and meat quality became worse compared with normal unaffected animals(P<0.01). In case of pork belly thickness, the significant decrease was observed in pneumonia infected animals compared with normal animals(P<0.01). Based on this study, the pneumonia infection affects most of the important economic traits in pigs and it is ultimately needed to pay more attention to prevent this disease.
