This study attempted to analyze the effects of cleansing oil on skin by preferred vegetable base oil. For this, a questionnaire survey was performed against 100 people, and their face washing habit and preferred vegetable base oils were examined. Based on the results, 4 different cleansing oils were prepared and experimented. The experiment was conducted against 10 adult women in their 20-30s, and moisture level, sebum level and trans-epidermal water loss (TEWL) before and after the experiment were measured. After the test, satisfaction was measured, and the results found the followings: When asked what cleansing oil is most preferred by vegetable base oil type, 'rose hip oil' was the highest, followed by 'olive oil', 'apricot kernel oil' and 'camellia oil'. According to the clinical trials, both moisture and sebum levels increased before and after cleansing in all four cleansing oil types by the preferred vegetable base oil (p<0.001, p<0.001). In addition, TEWL decreased with a difference by base oil (p<0.01). According to a subjective satisfaction survey which was performed after the experiment, rose hip oil-contained cleansing oil (RHC) was the highest in terms of cleansing effect and satisfaction level. Consequently, it was confirmed that the cleansing oil by vegetable base oil improved skin conditions by protecting a skin barrier with a positive effect on the improvement of sebum and moisture levels and TEWL. Even though a preferred oil type and a satisfaction level may differ by preferred oil and feeling after use, cleansing oil by vegetable base can be helpful as a skin care product which eases skin dryness and protects a skin barrier.

Shaving for adult men is one of the essential requirements for life. For physiological reasons, most adult men have beards, and if men trim their beards and take good care of them, their appearance becomes cleaner. If a dull blade is used for a wet razor, or if an appropriate massage is not used, skin irritation may occur, resulting in shaving wounds. Therefore, the convenience and comfort of the razor are required as much as the skin becomes smooth after shaving. In this paper, a pre-shaving method of sound massage was proposed to reduce the irritation of wet shaving on the skin and increase the convenience of shaving. It softens the skin or secretes oil through non-face-to-face low-frequency speakers to increase skin gloss, making shaving smooth and safe. We recorded the sound of the wet shave state to determine the skin condition before and after the wet shave, and objectively compared and analyzed the effect with this sound spectrum. In other words, it can be seen from the experimental results that the sound massage before shaving reduces the friction between the razor and the skin and the skin and beard by -7.0 dB, improving the skin wound of the wet shave and achieving a refreshing shave.

본 연구는 Graphic simulator에서 자동차 속도 변화에 따른 운전자의 감성변화를 주관적 평가와 자율신경계의 반응을 통해 알아보고자 한다. 속도 변화는 정차(0km/h), 40km/h, 100km/h, 160km/h로 제시하였고, 건강한 10명의 피험자를 대상으로 심박변화율, 피부저항, 피부온도, 맥파 등의 생리신호를 측정하였다. 본 연구 목적에 적절한 속도 관련 어휘를 추출하여 각 속도에서의 주관적 감성 변화를 평가하였다. 또한, 각 속도 실험 전 후에 Simulator Sickness를 측정하여 Simulator Sickness가 실험 결과에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다. 속도가 증가함에 따라 긴장도와 쾌도가 증가한다는 주관적 평가 결과를 얻었다. 실험 전에 비해 실험 후의 Simulator Sickness 값은 증가하였지만 실험 전, 후의 통계적 차이는 관찰할 수 없었다. 속도 증가에 따라, 평균 R-R간격, 피부온도의 진폭은 감소하였고, 피부저항은 증가하였고, 맥파의 평균 진폭은 감소하였다. 그러므로 본 연구를 통해 Simulator Sickness의 큰 영향 없이 Graphic Simulator에서 속도의 증가에 따라 교감신경계가 활성화됨을 관찰할 수 있었고, 이는 실제 동적 환경에서 속도 변화에 따른 자율신경계의 반응 및 주관적 평가 결과와 일치하는 것이다. 향후 복합 감각 자극이 가능한 시뮬레이터가 구축이 될 것이고, 이를 통해 보다 현실감 있는 동적 환경 제시와 감성 측정이 가능할 것이다.

현대사회로 들어오면서 과거와 달리 외부에 있던 화장실이 내부로 들어오면서 변기 뚜껑을 닫지 않고 toilet flushing을 할 때 배변에 포함된 다량의 장티푸스, 포도상 구균 같은 종류의 세균이 화장실 곳곳에 퍼짐에 의하여 면역력이 약한 경우 여러 가지 세균성 질환 및 2차 감염을 통하여 장티푸스 및 피부 질환 등이 발생한다. 본 연구에서는 이런 감염을 최소화하기 위한 방법으로 플라즈마를 이용한 세변기 표면의 오염 방지처리 기술을 개발하는 것을 목표로 한다. 일차적으로 여러 가지 운용 조건에서 오염의 정도를 파악하고자 배변의 양에 따라 toilet flushing 시 피부 오염의 물질 노출 정도를 평가 하였다. 실험 방법은 배변을 모사하여 toilet system에 넣고 물을 내려 무게에 따른 물 튀김 정도와 위치 분포를 분석하였다. 밀가루 반죽의 무게가 증가하면서 피부에 닿는 물 튀김 면적이 특정 무게에서 최대 60.02 mm2까지 증가하다 감소했다. 또한 실제 측정 결과를 통하여 물 튀김의 분포가 뒤쪽에 집중되는 것을 볼 수 있었다. 이와 같이 실제 toilet flushing시 세균에 의하여 피부 오염 및 국부 감염이 발생할 수 있다는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 또한 비데 동작 시 변기 내부에 잔존하는 세균 자체가 확산되는 정도를 3차원 유체 역학 모델링으로 예측하였다. 앞으로 세변기 뚜껑의 플라즈마 표면처리 및 toilet flushing 유로 디자인 개선을 통해 세균의 잔류 및 퍼짐을 최소화함으로써 최종적으로 세균성 질환을 줄일 수 있는 방법을 개발하는 것이 본 연구의 1단계 목표다.

The study studied dermal protection and crease improvement from the sunlight of the lipid extract and narinjin. Sunlight was investigated in HR-1 (motherless mice) to identify changes in epithelial thickness and changes in collagen fibers, which account for around 90% of dermis, as the inhibitory efficacy of collagenase dissolving collagen also plays an important role in wrinkles. The experiment was validated using narinjin and jisil extract. First: The components of jisil and narinjin were analyzed. Second, antioxidant capabilities were confirmed with DPPH. Third: The inhibitory activity of collagen was measured. Studies have shown that the skin's upper skin thickness suppression of dermal extracts and narinzine has increased and that collagen thicknesses and wrinkles have decreased significantly compared to controls.
