The purpose of this study was to investigate the differences in female college students' sociocultural attitude toward appearance and pursuit of clothing benefits according to their narcissism. Data collection was conducted through survey for female college students, and a total 221 questionnaires were used for data analyses. For analysis of data, frequency analysis, factor analysis, reliability analysis, and one-way ANOVA were applied. The results were summarized as follows. First, the factor analysis on narcissism resulted in two dimensional structures: self-initiated and other-dependent narcissism. The respondents were categorized into four narcissism groups, such as compositive, self-initiated, other-dependent, and withdrawn narcissism groups. Second, the factor analysis on sociocultural attitude toward appearance resulted in two dimensional structures: internalization and awareness. Five dimensions of pursuit of clothing benefits were identified: individuality, self-expression, fashion, comfort, and social recognition pursuit. Third, there were significant differences among the categorized narcissism groups in sociocultural attitude toward appearance and pursuit of clothing benefits. The results confirm that narcissism has an impact on sociocultural attitude toward appearance and pursuit of clothing benefits. It is expected that this study provides insight for apparel makers or retailers to develop their marketing strategies.

The appearance concern is categorized as follows: appearance harmony focus and body focus. The attitude toward plastic surgery was found as risk tolerance, image improvement/surgery desire and keeping the secret of surgery. Clothing behaviors are found as individuality focus, other focus, convenience and luxury ostentation. The appearance concern shows a significant correlation with the sub-variable attitude toward plastic surgery and clothing behavior. One test in the groups is determined by demographic variables like occupancy and monthly income. Appearance concerns are classified into three groups as follows: appearance concern group, low appearance concern group and body concern group. The groups show a significant difference in the attitude toward plastic surgery and clothing behavior.

Seventeen antiserum identified by stormont method were used for investigation of appearance type of red blood cell in Cheju horse. Phenotype $A_1$, A', Z, $ZZ_2$, C, K, $P_1$, Q, R, S, $U_2$, X and $N_1$ were classified by Hemolytic reaction and agglutination in $E_2$, H, J and $T_1$, Hokkaido horse and Thoroughbred horse were compared with the type of red blood cell. The results obtained are as follows ; 1. According to the appearance frequency of red blood cell the phenotypes could be classified by 6 groups among horses tested; I group : C, $A_1$, $ZZ_2$, $E_2$, S, Q, II : $P_1$, $U_2$, X, III : A', R, IV : $T_1$, K, V : H, J, VI, $N_1$, Z. 2. In group I the type of C, $A_1$ and $ZZ_2$ showed the Similar frequency among horses but the type of $E_2$, S and Q was lower in Cheju horse than Hokkaido and Thoroughbred horse. 3. In group II there was no differences in the type of $P_1$ and among three species, but Thoroughbred horse was lowest as 11.2 percent than Cheju and Hokkaido horse. 4. The type of $U_2$ and X were highest in Cheju and Hokkaido horse but lowest in Thoroughbred horse. 5.

Web crawler, which is mainly used to collect text on the web today, is difficult to maintain and expand because researchers must implement different collection logic by collection channel after analyzing tags and styles of HTML documents. To solve this problem, the web crawler should be able to collect text by formalizing HTML documents to the same structure. In this paper, we designed and implemented WCTT(Web Crawling system based on Tag path and Text appearance frequency), a web crawling system that collects text with a single collection logic by formalizing HTML documents based on tag path and text appearance frequency. Because WCTT collects texts with the same logic for all collection channels, it is easy to maintain and expand the collection channel. In addition, it provides the preprocessing function that removes stopwords and extracts only nouns for keyword network analysis and so on.

In order to accurately extract the necessary text from the web page, the method of specifying the tag and style attributes where the main contents exist to the web crawler has a problem in that the logic for extracting the main contents. This method needs to be modified whenever the web page configuration is changed. In order to solve this problem, the method of extracting the text by analyzing the frequency of appearance of the text proposed in the previous study had a limitation in that the performance deviation was large depending on the collection channel of the web page. Therefore, in this paper, we proposed a method of extracting texts with high accuracy from various collection channels by analyzing not only the frequency of appearance of text but also parent tag paths of text nodes extracted from the DOM tree of web pages.
