Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate the association of faculty-student interaction, psychological well-being, and the image of nurses with nursing professionalism in the COVID-19 pandemic situation. Methods: The participants of the study were 243 nursing college students located in Daegu, Kyungpook. Data collection was performed between August 11 and 20, 2021. Data were analyzed with descriptive statistics, independent t-test, ANOVA, Pearson's correlation coefficient, and stepwise multiple regression using the IBM SPSS 21.0 program. Results: The multiple regression showed that nursing professionalism was associated with a positive image of nurses (β=.71, p<.001) and higher faculty-student interaction (β=.11, p=.023). Additionally, a negative impression about nurses during the COVID-19 pandemic was negatively associated with nursing professionalism (β=-.12, p=.003). The explanatory power of the factors was 67 percent of the total variances on nursing professionalism; however, psychological well-being was not an associated factor. Conclusion: This study suggested that, to improve nursing student's nursing professionalism in the COVID-19 pandemic situation, nursing colleges should systemize curricular and non-curricular programs to improve awareness of nurses' efforts and faculty-student interaction.

A convenience sample of 292 subjects were recruited from one university in G city. And data were collected from November 11 to November 15, 2015. Data were analyzed using t-test, ANOVA, Pearson's Correlation, Stepwise Multiple linear regression analyses with SPSS 21.0 Program. The nursing professionalism of nursing students showed a significantly positive correlation of nurses' image(r=.821, p<.001) professional self-concept(r=.701, p<.001). Fifty-seven percentage of the variance was explained by nurses' image, professional self-concept and grade. Therefore, on the basis of this study's result, when nursing educational programs are developed to make positive professionalism, these factors need to be consider.

Recently, the importance of 'character' is widely acknowledged by practitioners and academic arena. Character is the archetype of design product. Unfortunately, however, there have been limited character design studies. The purpose of this study is to identify the components of character design and then to verify the causal relationships among them. The research model of the current study is developed based upon the past studies on the consumer response model related to the product design. The result of the study shows that the dimensions of character design are converged into upper dimensions, including such as character appearance, character image, and character attachment with each lower dimensions, respectively. An analysis of relationship among these variables indicates that while the character appearance tends to trigger character image, the character image leads to character attachment. In addition, both the character image and the character attachment have a positive influence on the loyalty of the character. Understanding of the paths among consumers' responses will be able to be a good guideline for establishing character design strategy. And, finally, the authors discuss some theoretical contributions and managerial implications.

Measurement tools consisted of nurse image, professional self-concept, and career exploration behavior. Data processing was performed using the SPSS 22.0 program where general characteristics were analyzed by t-test, ANONA and post examination tests by Scheffe's test, using mean score, standard deviation, Pearson's correlation, and stepwise multiple regression. Nursing students' nurse image, professional self-concept, and career exploration behavior were all found to have significant positive correlations, and the most influential variable was professional self-concept. As for the total explanatory power of these variables, model 2 showed 25% explanatory power, which was increased by 2% compared to model 1.

In this paper, we proposed a Hangeul detection method using structural features of histogram, consonant, and vowel to solve the problem of Hangul which is separated and detected consonant and vowel The proposed method removes background by using DoG (Difference of Gaussian) to remove unnecessary noise in Hangul detection process. In the image with the background removed, we converted it to a binarized image using a cumulative histogram. Then, the horizontal position histogram was used to find the position of the character string, and character combination was performed using the vertical histogram in the found character image. However, words with a consonant vowel such as '가', '라' and '귀' are combined using a structural characteristic of characters because they are difficult to combine into one character. In this experiment, an image composed of alphabets with various backgrounds, an image composed of Korean characters, and an image mixed with alphabets and Hangul were tested. The detection rate of the proposed method is about 2% lower than that of the K-means and MSER character detection method, but it is about 5% higher than that of the character detection method including Hangul.

브랜드 이미지가 마케팅에 미치는 영향이 커지면서 기업은 브랜드 가치 형성을 위해 온/오프라인 PR활동과 함께 브랜드 웹사이트를 적극적으로 활용하고 있다. 또한 학계와 관련 업계에서는 소비자들의 웹사이트의 이용 경험이 브랜드이미지 형성에 미치는 영향에 대하여 많은 연구를 진행해 왔다. 그러나 이와 반대로 웹사이트의 평가에 있어서 선 경험된 브랜드 이미지가 사이트의 평가에 영향을 미칠 수 있음에 대해서는 거의 연구되지 않았다. 본 연구에서는 브랜드 인지도와 브랜드 이미지를 통해 형성되는 브랜드 충성도-특히, 감정적 브랜드 충성도(Affective brand loyalty)-가 웹사이트의 사용자 경험에 있어서 디자인과 인터랙션디자인에 대한 감정적 평가에 미치는 영향에 대해 조사하였다. 이를 위하여 중국의 대학생, 대학원생 70인을 대상으로 중국에서 판매되고 있는 자동차 브랜드 8개를 선정하여 브랜드 충성도와 웹사이트의 사용자경험 평가에 대한 상관관계를 조사하였다.
