Functional dyspepsia is one of the most common bowel disorders as prevalent of 7.7% Korean population. The cardinal manifestations include bothersome postprandial fullness, early satiation, epigastric burning or pain. These features are chronic and should be presented recurrently with no other compatible organic disease to explain the symptoms. Even though it is not life-shortening, functional dyspepsia usually make the health-related quality of life worse especially if other functional bowel disorder coexist. The coexistence of functional bowel disorders is called as 'overlap syndrome'. Anxiety, somatization and insomnia is more prevalent in overlap syndrome compared with sole functional bowel disorder. Therefore, it is worthwhile that physician interviews and elucidates whether the dyspeptic patient had other kinds of functional bowel disorders, and manages the underlying psychotic pathology. Placebo effect is large in functional dyspepsia, and there is only four kinds of prokinetics that is proven to be superior to placebo. Adverse events relating prolonged administration of prokinetics sometimes fatal or irreversible, physician willing to describe prokinetics should be familiar to the possible adverse effects and the relating risk factors. Pathologic acid reflux is not uncommon in functional dyspepsia, and acid-suppressant is equivalent to the prokientics in most of dyspeptic patients.

This study aims to identify factors of life satisfaction of the adults with developmental disabilities, focusing on the comparison between young and old. Data are collected through in-depth interview of the adults with developmental disabilities as well as via workers proxy responses at the group home. Regression model analysis is conducted based on 387 cases. The result shows that the young adults with developmental disabilities are more likely to satisfied with life when they evaluate job performance of workers at the group home and when they are more actively involved in community activities. For the old adults with developmental disabilities, life satisfaction is positively associated with their evaluation of job performance of workers at the group home as in the young adults. In addition, life satisfaction of the old adults is higher when they feel less fatigue. It is also higher for those with more choices on residence and higher level of social activities. The findings reveals that enhancement of life satisfaction for the old adults with developmental disabilities dwelling at group home require supports and services for health and social activities different from other ages. It shares the general ideas that service efforts should be made for needs and desires of the recipients. The present study suggests to expand our research interests to include the disabled in danger of early aging, such as the persons with Down Syndrome and the persons with intellectual disability and cerebral palsy, and look into their particular needs.

This study investigated the optimal amount of shell powder (0.1, 0.2, 0.3, and 0.4%) to add to rice noodles containing 20% rice flour and compared their quality characteristics to those of wheat noodles containing a commercial alkaline reagent (added at 0.4%). As the amount of shell powder was increased, the L and b values (Hunter's color) increased. The pH, turbidity, and water absorption also increased as the amount of shell powder was increased. However, when the shell powder content exceeded 0.3%, the hardness, chewiness, springiness, and tension tended to decrease below acceptable levels. This might be because the shell powder inhibited network formation. The textural properties and pH value of rice noodles containing 0.2% shell powder were similar to those of the wheat noodles. This suggests that 0.2% shell powder may be the optimal amount to add to rice noodles when used as the alkaline reagent.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the optimal amount of alkaline reagent (0.2 or 0.4%) and rice flour (10-40%) for noodle and supplementation, and compare quality characteristics with those of wheat noodles. Texture properties, pH, tension profiles, and cooking quality of noodles supplemented with rice flour and alkaline reagent were measured. Wheat noodles with 0.4% alkaline reagent added displayed increased b values (Hunter's color), pH, hardness, chewiness, tension profiles, and turbidity, and decreased L, and a values, gumminess, weight, and water absorption compared to wheat noodles with 0.2% alkaline reagent added. Hardness and springiness of wheat noodles with 0.4% alkaline reagent added were 35.2 and 0.0118 N, respectively. These values for rice doodles with 0.4% alkaline reagent and 20% rice flour were similar (36.3, 0.0117 N, respectively). This suggests that addition of 0.4% alkaline reagent and 20% rice flour may be the optimal parameters for producing rice noodle.

To find out the a Study on experiential consumption and development of the customized cosmetics on female university students in their 20s, this study conducted sampling using probability sampling from cosmetics major students in S City from September 1 to October 30, 2020. In this study, a study model was designed for a total of 30 people and studied as an Experience-Consume Experimentation. First, the result of the pre-purchase survey revealed that skincare cosmetics had the highest percentage for being selected by 30 people for "the preferred cosmetic type per the perception regarding customized cosmetics." Second, the result of the pre-purchase survey revealed that 11 people answered skincare cosmetics, 1 person answered shade cosmetics, and 2 people answered fragrance products (perfume, diffusers, etc.) for "the experience type for customized cosmetics." Third, the result of the post-purchase survey revealed that 29 people are willing to recommend the products, while 1 person is not. For the appropriateness of the price, 23 people answered yes; 7 people answered no. for the characteristics of the experience, 24 people (80%) answered that they selected ingredients according to their skin type; 9 people answered that the price is cheap considering they received 1:1 consultation; 18 people answered that they made a choice per their preferences (skin type) rather than per brands; 3 people answered that their self-esteem is stronger as if they received personal care. Therefore, customized cosmetics are expected to increase the attractiveness and purchase rate of female students in their twenties given that 'Human Touch,' genetic analysis, and 'hyper-customization technology,' which requires new development of customized cosmetics experience consumption for female college students in their 20s.

Recently, the new subway project called "Great Train Express" is in progress. During the tunnel excavation in the center of city, vibration and noise are generated, which make an uncomfortable effect on nearby residents. In order to prepare for this situation, the construction company generally establishes a noise and vibration management plan at the site from the construction planning stage through consultation with the residents of nearby areas and establishment of countermeasures for complaints raised. However, despite the establishment of a noise and vibration management plan, civil complaints have not been fundamentally resolved due to occurring noise and vibration during the construction in progress. In order to solve this problems, one of the best solution is to provide noise and vibration simulation technology with a high sense of reality and immersion for residents of nearby areas. Considering the ease and convenience of using the system, we intend to develop a UI(User Interface) necessary for the development of a simulation system that can directly experience the air blast and vibration based on virtual reality. The results of this study are expected to contribute to the development of virtual reality-based air blast and vibration simulations in the future.

This study investigates the IPI (Information Protection Intention) of DHS (Digital Healthcare Service) providers by introducing PMT (Protection Motivation Theory). This study examines the effects of protection motivation, such as threat appraisal and coping appraisal, on IPI, such as ICI(Induction Control Intention) and SDI(Self Defense Intention). The research model, based on the PMT, adopted severity, vulnerability, reaction efficacy and self-efficacy as independent variables. The research model was validated through quantitative research, a survey of 222 DHS providers in South Korea, using structural equation modeling. The results show that (1) a clear awareness of the consequences of security threats increases the understanding of DHS providers on the severity of closure of healthcare information, and thus may decreases abuse of DHS by providers; (2) user confidence and satisfaction on the security system may make them be confident that they can handle the closure of healthcare information by themselves; and (3) although DHS providers are realizing the consequences of closure of healthcare information, they think that they are unlikely to encounter such situations. As a result of this study, venture companies that provide DHS need to provide contents that can continuously increase providers' security level in order to increase providers' information protection intention. It suggests that IPI is important through trust of healthcare service providers.
