The relationship between Sigumjang gas chromatographic patterns precisely analyzed with capillary column and ranked order in sensory analysis was investigated by stepwise multiple regression analysis. Highly predictable multiple regression models were obtained in the analysis. Ninety percent of the Sigumjang aroma was explained by the regression models at step 15 in four transformation except for absolute value transformed with root square and relative value transformed with logarithm. The aroma of Sigumjang was most affected by 2,3-dimethylpyrazine at absolute value and absolute value transformed with logarithm and by 2-furancarboxaldehyde in other transformation. The quality of sigumjang was highly affected by ${\beta}$-phallendrenal, methylpyrazine, tetramethylpyrazine, 5-methyl-2-furancarboxaldehyde, unknown 2, octanoic acid, 4-ethylphenol, methyl 10,13-octadecanoate and ethyl linoleate.

향을 이용한 아로마테라피는 고대부터 전 세계적으로 종교적 또는 질병치유 목적으로 사용되어 왔다. 최근에는 많은 사람들이 피부관리, 염증치료 등 치유 목적이외에 정신건강을 위하여 아로마테라피를 사용하고 있다. 많은 아로마테라피 디퓨저들은 다양한 형태와 소재들이 활용되고 있지만 대부분의 제품은 자연적으로 공기 중에 향을 휘산시키거나 양초 등의 열을 이용한 훈증 방식을 채택하고 있다. 우리나라 분청사기는 전통적, 문화적으로 매우 중요한 위치를 차지하고 있다. 우리는 분청 사기의 디자인, 형태, 문양 등을 발전시키고 새로운 제품에 접목시켜 현대사회의 소비자 요구에 부응하여야 한다. 본 연구의 목적은 분청사기와 아로마 디퓨저를 결합하고 소비자가 제품에 대하여 가지고 있는 감성이미지를 추출하여 소비자를 만족시킬 수 있는 아로마 디퓨저를 개발하는 것이다. 그리고 이를 통하여 전통의 긍정적 이미지와 문화 인프라를 구축하고 전통 도자기를 고부가가치 산업으로 연계하고자 한다.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to identify the effects of a multi agent obesity control program in obese school children. This program was composed of strategies to modify diet and exercise habits and to change cognitive behavior variables(stress, coping, and self-efficacy). Method: The subjects were 40 obese school children who participated in our project voluntarily via homepage, TV, newspaper, public paper and school official documents. The program was implemented daily for 4 sessions per day for ten days from August 16 to 26, 2004. The daily program consisted of exercise therapy, dance therapy, cognitive behavior therapy and aroma therapy. The data was analyzed by paired t-test using the SPSSWIN program. Result: There was a significant decrease in children's waist-hip ratio(p=.04) and in children's stress(p=.00) after the program. There was a significant increase in children's self-confidence after the program(p=.02) and a significant decrease in children's diet habit after the program(p=.02). Conclusion: This study provides evidence that a multiagent obese control program is effective in changing waist-hip ratio, stress, self-confidence, and diet habits in obese school children.
