The results are as follows: In the analysis of consumption value revealed in the linguistic elements of cosmetics advertisement, emotion value was the highest in both cosmetics and perfume, while function value was the second highest in cosmetics and rarity value was the second highest in perfume. About the changes of content characteristics of visual elements, in both cosmetics and perfume advertisement, there were a lot of visual advertisements focused on figures without the mixture of linguistic expressions. Between advertisement in 1990s and that in 2000s, there were meaningful differences only in types and object of meaning of used symbols.

특정 사람에 대해 느끼는 이미지 또는 특정 사람이 가지는 이미지를 어떻게 평가하고 나타낼 수 있을까\ulcorner 본 연구에서는 사람에 대해 가지는 이미지를 표준적인 감성 어휘 척도를 활용하여 모델이 가지는 감성이미지가 무엇인지를 비교평가 할 수 있는 방법을 제시한다. 연구 대상으로는 국내 화장품 회사의 모델을 활용하였다. 4명의 모델을 전체와 부분 모습의 두 가지 형태로 제시하면서 각 인물이 가진 이미지를 평가하게 하였다. Personal 감성이미지를 평가하기 위해서 사람의 특성이나 이미지를 묘사하는 형용사 쌍 103개를 이용하였다. 모델 이미지에 대한 평가 반응은 요인분석을 통해 7개의 감성어휘 요인으로 나타났다. 우아한-천박한, 신선감-답답함, 편안함-불편함, 순수함-가식적인, 세련미-촌스러운, 진취성-보수성, 여성성-남성성, 4명의 모델들은 이 7가지 감성 이미지 요인에 따라 상호 차별적으로 나타났다. 인물 감성이미지는 감성적 어휘로 표현됨과 동시에 각 인물이 가진 고유하고 대표적인 personal image로 나타낼 수 있는가를 보여줄 수 있엇다. 본 연구에서는 개발된 감성이미지척도는 사람의 이미지를 평가하는 대표적인 감성척도로 이용될 수 있을 뿐 아니라, 특정 제품을 나타내는 모델이 일반인들에 어떤 이미지를 전달하는지 그리고 모델의 이미지와 제품이 지향하는 이미지와 얼마나 일치하는지를 평가할 수 있었다.

Parabens are alkyl esters of p-hydroxybenzoic acid, which are widely used in foods, cosmetics, and pharmaceutic products as preservatives. Absorbed parabens are metabolized fastly and excreted. Actually human body is exposed to complex mixture of parabens. Safety assessment at various toxicological end points revealed parabens have a little acute, subacute and chronic toxicities. Some reports have argued that as parabens have estrogenic activity, they are associated with the incidence of breast cancer through dermal absorption by cosmetics. There is an inference that antiandrogenic activity of parabens may give rise to a lesion of male reproductive system, but also there is an contrary. At cellular level, parabens may inhibit mitochondrial function of sperms and androgen production in testis, but also there is an contrary. Parabens seem to have little or no toxicity in embryonic development. Parabens can cause hemolysis, membrane permeability change in mitochondria and apoptosis, suggesting cellular toxicity of parabens. Parabens evoked endocrine disruption in several fish species and have toxic effect on small invertebrates and microbes. Therefore, the toxicity of parabens should be considered as a potentially toxic chemical in the freshwater environment. In conclusion, though parabens may be considered as a low toxic chemical, more definite data are required concerning the endocrine disrupting effect of parabens on human body and aquatic animals according to route and term of exposure as well as the residual concentration of parabens.

많은 소비자들이 가치지향적인 의사결정을 할 때 제품의 품질을 매우 중요한 요소로 생각하며, 제품구매시 불완전한 정보 상황에서 빈번히 제품품질의 지표로서 가격을 이용한다고 한다(Peterson & Wilson. 1985). 이와 관련하여 시장에서의 실제 가격과 객관적 품질과의 관계를 분석하여 소비자의 효율성을 파악한 연구가 각국에서 이루어져 왔으나, 패션제품에 관한 가격과 객관적 품질과의 관계에 관한 연구는 국내 외적으로 매우 미흡한 실정이다. 따라서 본 연구의 목적은 1990년대 한국과 미국 패션시장의 가격과 객관적 품질간의 상관관계를 비교 분석함으로써 양국 패션제품의 품질수준을 비교해 보 는데 있다. 본 연구의 결과를 통해 가격이 제품품질의 지표가 될 수 있는가를 파악할 수 있을 것이다. 이를 위해 본 연구에서는 다음과 같은 연구문제를 설정하였다. 첫째, 한국과 미국 패션제품 시장의 가격과 품질의 상관관계는 전체적으로 어떠한 차이가 있는가\ulcorner 둘째, 한국과 미국 패션제품의 가격과 객관 적 품질의 상관관계가 패션산업범주에 따라 어떠한 차이가 있는가\ulcorner 마지막으로, 본 연구의 결과와 같은 제품의 품질에 대한 정보탐색으로부터 얻을 수 있는 한국과 미국 소비자의 구매이득은 어느 정도인가\ulcorner 본 연구를 위한 내용분석에 이용된 자료는 양국의 소비자의 권익보호를 위한 중립적 정보원에서 발간하고 있는, 한국의 <소비자 시대>와 미국의 에 개 재 된 1990년부터 1999년까지 의 상품비교테스트 정보중에서 패션제품군에 관련된 자료를 토대로 하였다. 수집된 자료는 한국의 36개 패션제품군, 470개 제품과, 미국의 40개 패션제품군. 692개의 패션 제품이었으며, 패션산업범주는 여성복, 남성복, 유니 섹스 의류, 스포츠 의류, 유.아동복, 언더웨어. 잡화. 제화류, 침장류, 섬유직물, 화장품. 학생복 등 11 가지 산업범주로 분류하였다. 본 연구의 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 첫째, 한국과 미국 패션제품의 지난 십년간의 가격 과 품질의 상관관계는 매우 약한 정(+)의 상관을 가지고 있었다. 한국패션제품의 전체 서열상관계수의 평균은 0.091이었고, 미국의 상관계수 평균은 0.192였 다. 상관계수의 수치만으로 볼 때 한국보다는 미국 패션제품의 가격과 품질간의 상관관계가 조금 높게 나타났으나, 양국간 통계적인 차이는 없었다. 또한, 한국 패션제품의 경우에는 제품군의 가격대별 상관관계를 살펴보았는데, 그 결과 1만원 미만의 저가 제품군과 330만원이상의 고가의 제품군의 경우 부(-)의 상관계수를 나타냈다. 둘째. 1990년대 한국과 미국 패션시장의 가격과 품질간의 상관계수의 범위는 제품군별. 산업범주별 로 상이한 분포를 보이고 있었다. 패션제품군별로 보 면, 한국의 경우는 가장 높은 '여행용가방(r = 0.707)' 에서 가장 낮은 '자외선 차단화장품(r = -0.58)'까지, 그리고 미국 패션제품군의 상관계수의 범위는 '팬티 스타킹'의 0.820에서 '남성용 런닝슈즈'의 -0.472까지의 분포를 나타냈다. 마지막으로, 제품의 가격과 품질에 대한 정보를 소비자가 알 경우 얻을 수 있는 소비자의 구매이득 을 추산한 결과 패션제품시장에서 완전한 품질정보를 가지고 있다고 가정한 '현명한 사람'은, 최고가격의 제품만을 구입한다고 가정한 '부유한 사람들'의 구입방식에 비해 최고 좋은 품질의 상품을 총 지불액의 비율로 보아, 한국의 소비자는 약 50% 정도를, 미국의 소비자는 약 91%나 되는 액수를 절약하여 구매할 수 있는 것으로 나타났다. 이상의 본 연구의 결과를 종합하여 볼 때 한국과 미국 모두 제품군별, 그리고 산업범주별로 상관관계가 차이를 보이고 있어, 양국의 소비자들이 패션제품 의 품질을 평가함에 있어 오로지 가격에 대한 정보만을 이용하는 것은 위험하고 비합리적인 구매의사 결정이라고 볼 수 있다. 따라서 소비자가 좀 더 합리적인 구매의사결정을 하여 재정적 손실을 막기 위해서는 가격과 품질에 관한 신뢰있는 정보의 탐색이 반드시 필요하다고 본다.

Human hair is an excretory system for trace metals and thus metal content in human hair can reflect the body status. The investigation of trace elements in human hair has been correlated with the diagnosis of various diseases as well as the monitoring of deficiency statues in nutrition. Many chronic diseases may be related to mineral status, some may be related to toxic mineral. Hair samples were collected from 120 inhabitants of the city of Seoul, Korea. In this study the concentrations of 10 elements (Hg, Pb, Cd, Al, As, U, Bi, Sb, Ba, Be) in hair were determined by inductively coupled plasma mass spectroscopy (ICP-MS). The conclusions showed that people in Seoul, Korea were affected by some kinds of toxic minerals. The Hg concentrations of male are higher than those of female and reference range. The mean concentration of Sb was higher in the female than male and reference range. In age distribution, the mean concentration of Hg was in 40's are higher than 20's and 30's and reference range. The concentrations of Al were the highest in the 20's. After analyzing, we concluded that a compounded treatment should be conducted, which considers the variety of factors related to detoxification.

In this study, ultraviolet protection factor (Sun Protection Factor, SPF) was investigated to provide basic data for subject safety and research of ultraviolet (UV) irradiation test in the future. Trial subjects (395 people) of skin type I, II, and III were evaluated according to skin type standard table. After measuring the skin color using a colorimeter, ITA (Individual Typology Angle) value was calculated. Subjects with 28 and above ITA value were positioned comfortably to be UV irradiated for 60 s and erythema was evaluated 24 hours after application. MED (Minimal Erythema Dose) was investigated where the minimal amount of erythema existed among UVB irradiated area. Statistical analysis was investigated using Statistical Package the Social Sciences program. As a result, the darker skin color results in the higher MED value since the higher skin type number results increased MED value and female has higher MED value than male since female has darker skin type than male. There was no relation between MED difference by ages in all different ages. However, it is hard to draw a conclusion as above since the number of subjects were not sufficient to support statistical significance for MED values by different ages. However, MED values by skin types obtained through this study can be used as a standard when MED value is expected to evaluate efficacy of sunscreen product and as basic data for further safety of clinical researches.
