  • The purpose of this study was to provide basic data for setting more detailed standards for baby food and to provide food information that can be used in real-world settings. We purchased 80 snacks and 40 drinks for infants and toddlers from supermarkets and online markets and analyzed tar color, artificial sweeteners, mycotoxins, and nutritional components (e.g., sucrose, sodium, and calcium). Fortunately, it was confirmed that both tar color and sodium saccharin, which do not have detection criteria for labeled foods for infants and toddlers, were not detected. However, acesulfame potassium was detected at 0.07 g/kg in one snack sample. As for myxotoxins, aflatoxin (B1, B2, G1, and G2) and ochratoxin A were not detected. Fumonisin B1, fumonisin B2, and zearalenone were detected in the ranges of 9.78-78.94 ㎍/kg, 5.58-11.73 ㎍/kg, and 2.96-8.83 ㎍/kg, respectively, but only in snacks. Sucrose was detected in 65 of the snacks (0.02-40.94 g/net weight [g]) and in 24 of the drinks (0.12-27.60 g/net weight [g]). Minerals were detected in most of the samples, and in four snacks, the zinc content per net exceeded the tolerable upper intake level for infants. Sixteen snacks exceeded the food standards for sodium content for infants and toddlers, but none of them were labeled as food for infants and toddlers in the product manufacturing report, such that the corresponding standards could not be applied. Therefore, it seems necessary to establish institutional improvements, such as strengthening labeling standards, so that the currently enforced standards can be appropriately applied, and establishing standards for labeled foods for infants and toddlers.

  • A study on how fire officer's job satisfaction factors influence space satisfaction rates. This article will conduct regression analysis for the study on these three problems. 'What are the factors of fire officer's job satisfaction?', 'Does space satisfaction rates influence job satisfaction rates?', 'Which job satisfaction factor influence space satisfaction rate?' Therefore, variables were set based on the prior study, and before regression analysis was conducted, variables were purified through analysis on primary factor and reliability analysis, and hypothesis test was done via variable calculation. According to the prior study, factors that influence job satisfaction rates are as following; self-regulation of tasks, ethics and responsibility level, relationship with colleagues, job identity. And regression analysis showed that space satisfaction rates do not influence job satisfaction rates. The writer thinks that it's showing that Korean fire officers tend to prioritize colleague relationship and job identity over space improvements. And the factor that influence job satisfaction rates turned out to be the self-regulation of tasks, and the writer estimates that it's reflecting the hierarchical organization culture of current Korean fire officers. Therefore, future Korean fire station design plans need to consider a space plan that provides fire officer's private self-regulation of tasks.

  • This study starts off by stating that the lack of awareness in the importance of reasonable and systematized layout in management facility is essentially working against building a quality public library. And that there is a merit in studying the spatial elements, its density, amount of needed space, and the likes to efficiently deal with present workings of the library which are becoming more dynamic and complicated. This paper seeks to embark on this study and also to provide a foundational data for research on management facility of the public library. The paper bases its research on 10 public libraries which are located in Seoul City and in Gyeonggi province, and are built after the year 2000. The paper focuses on the spatial distribution by section and allotment of management facility space in the library. Consequently, to find solutions or to suggest improvements on problems encountered, the paper introduces Japan's cases (4 recently-built public libraries) as a foreign case study. With foregoing domestic and foreign library case analyses, and the survey results of managerial staffs' demands, the paper seeks to provide basic data about management facility space and its floorplan of the public library. The paper bases its research on pubic libraries' management facilities, and expects to contribute to the efficient building of the public library in the future.

  • We have researched 10,811 schools to evaluate the characteristics of school buildings and the conditions of heating and cooling systems at the elementary, middle and high school levels. Air conditioning systems in school buildings are related to school scale, and 35% of the researched schools have less than 10 air conditioned classrooms among all of the schools in Korea. The LOADSYS is used to grasp the characteristics of school buildings heating and cooling load. From the results of this work, the heating load differs by nearly 24% between Seoul and Busan, but other than that there are not so many serious regional differences. Almost 85.4% of the classrooms are equipped with heating facilities and 6.9% of them are equipped with heating and cooling facilities. As a result, it is necessary to make improvements in 31.8% of the classrooms using only heaters and 14.6% of the classrooms not equipped with HVAC. The survey shows that there is a wide gap in the heating equipment status of the classrooms according to the region and school district.
