최근 소비자들은 제품을 구매할 때 제품의 본질적인 특성 뿐 아니라 기업의 투명성과 윤리성 특히 공정무역제품에 대한 관심이 높아지고 있다. 일반적으로 공정무역을 하는 기업의 제품이나 서비스에 대해 소비자들은 긍정적인 태도를 가지게 되어 제품을 구매하게 되는 윤리적인 마케팅으로 간주 되지만 이를 실증한 연구는 거의 없다. 본 연구는 공정무역과 관련된 소비자의 구매의도를 파악하여 실제로 공정무역의 행위가 기업의 경쟁우위가 될 수 있는지 수단적 이해관계자 이론과 신호이론에 근거하여 실증분석 하였다. 첫 번째 실험은 순수 실험 디자인 중 피실험자 내 디자인을 통해 소비자 구매의도의 공정무역 마케팅 효과를 조사하였다. 두 번째 실험은 소비자 구매의도의 공정무역인증의 효과를 테스트하기 위해 시행되었다. 연구결과 소비자들은 일반적인 제품보다 공정무역제품을 선호한다는 결과를 도출하였으며, 공정무역인증 제품인 경우 그렇지 않은 제품보다 프리미엄 가격을 지불하고서라도 소비하려는 성향을 파악하였다. 또한 공정무역인증 라벨을 부착한 제품이 판매되는 장소에 따라 다른 결과를 도출하였는데, 이는 향후 기업이 목표로 하는 소비자에 따라 차별화된 제품을 유통해야한다는 시사점을 제시할 수 있을 것으로 보인다. 본 연구 결과는 기업이 목표로 하는 기대성과를 위하여 보다 차별화되고 중점적으로 활동할 수 있는 기업의 사회적 책임활동 방향을 제시할 수 있을 것으로 보인다.

본 연구에서는 아동·가족 복지지출의 결정요인들이 무엇인지, 기존의 총량 복지지출 결정요인을 설명하는 이론들이 아동·가족 복지지출 결정요인에서도 유용한지 고찰하고 아동·가족 복지지출에 영향을 미치는 고유의 요인을 규명하고자 하였다. 이를 위해 결합시계열 분석방법을 이용하여 OECD 회원국 14개 국가의 26년간 자료를 분석하였다. 분석결과 산업화 이론의 경우 여성경제활동참가율이 높을수록 아동·가족 복지지출 총량이 증가하고, 아동인구 비율은 통계적으로 유의미하지 않은 것으로 나타나 아동·가족 복지지출의 수요측 요인은 아동의 욕구가 아닌 일하는 여성의 욕구인 것을 알 수 있었다. 권력자원론의 경우 좌파내각 비율과 노조조직률 변수를 투입하여 권력자원론이 아동·가족복지지출에서도 어느 정도 유효한 설명인 것으로 판단할 수 있었다. 여성의 경제적·정치적 권한 강화가 아동·가족복지 지출에 부분적으로 긍정적인 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타나 아동·가족복지지출 결정요인의 여성주의 이론을 통한 설명 가능성을 제시하였다. 신제도주의론에서는 정책유제의 영향은 확인할 수 있었으나, 구축효과를 확인할 수는 없었다. 이를 통해 기존의 복지지출 결정요인을 설명하는 이론적 기반을 아동가족지출 영역으로까지 확대하여 해석할 수 있다는 것을 검증하였다는 점에서 이론적 함의를 찾을 수 있다. 또한 복지국가의 예산 제약 상황에서 점차 증가하는 새로운 사회적 위험에 효과적으로 대응하기 위하여 어떤 정치경제적·제도적 기반이 필요한지에 대해 본 연구가 시사하는 바가 크다.

Objectives : The purpose of this study was to investigate two subjects: the diagnostic value of bilateral lowering of electrical activity at point H4,5,6 of Ryodoraku and the mechanism for Ryodoraku phenomena. Methods : Electrical activities of Ryodoraku test and electrogastrography recorded simultaneously and monitored continuously from 16 cases of functional dyspeptic patients were collected and their variations were grouped by the topics of discussion which were peculiarity, stability, lagging, alterability, and anomaly. Ryodoraku recordings obtained from 6 patients with different gastrointestinal diseases and 1 normal healthy person were used as control. The results are discussed with Nakatani's suggestion, theory of sympathetic nerve and Meridian Principle, respectively. Finely, coincidence of stomach arrangement between anatomy and meridian system in Ryodoraku was also evaluated. Results : Time-course variation showed a regular relationship between the typical pattern of Ryodoraku at point H4,5,6 and gastric myoelectrical activity. However, an irregular relationship and atypical pattern of Ryodoraku occasionally appeared. A literature search suggested that electrical response at the Ryodoraku point H4,5,6 may be dependent on an afferent sympathetic spinal reflex transmitted from the stomach. However, there was no evidence for making clear whether bilateral lowering of electrical activity at this point was induced by hypofunction of local sympathetic nerve in the skin itself or of signals transmitted from the gastric sympathetic nerve or not. The coincidence of 19% could not provide a visceral arrangement of the stomach between anatomy and meridian systems. Conclusions : Bilateral lowering of electrical activity at Ryodoraku point H4,5,6 has value as a diagnostic index for gastric dysmotility of functional dyspepsia. This phenomenon is associated with spinal reflex transmitted from the afferent sympathetic nerve in the stomach but not that of meridian function.

BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES: Acanthopanax sessiliflorus is a native Korean plant and used as a traditional medicine or an ingredient in many Korean foods. The free radical theory of aging suggests that cellular oxidative stress caused by free radicals is the main cause of aging. Free radicals can be removed by cellular anti-oxidants. MATERIALS/METHODS: Here, we examined the anti-oxidant activity of Acanthopanax sessiliflorus extract both in vitro and in vivo. Survival of nematode C. elegans under stress conditions was also compared between control and Acanthopanax sessiliflorus extract-treated groups. Then, anti-aging effect of Acanthopanax sessiliflorus extract was monitored in C. elegans. RESULTS: Stem extract significantly reduced oxidative DNA damage in lymphocyte, which was not observed by leaves or root extract. Survival of C. elegans under oxidative-stress conditions was significantly enhanced by Acanthopanax sessiliflorus stem extract. In addition, Acanthopanax sessiliflorus stem increased resistance to other environmental stresses, including heat shock and ultraviolet irradiation. Treatment with Acanthopanax sessiliflorus stem extract significantly extended both mean and maximum lifespan in C. elegans. However, fertility was not affected by Acanthopanax sessiliflorus stem. CONCLUSION: Different parts of Acanthopanax sessiliflorus have different bioactivities and stem extract have strong anti-oxidant activity in both rat lymphocytes and C. elegans, and conferred a longevity phenotype without reduced reproduction in C. elegans, which provides conclusive evidence to support the free radical theory of aging.

The detection of position and speed in BLDC motors without using position sensors has meant many efforts for the last decades. The aim of this paper is to develop a sensorless technique for detecting the position and speed of BLDC motors, and to overcome the drawbacks of position sensor-based methods by improving the performance of traditional approaches oriented to motor phase voltage sensing. The position and speed information is obtained by computing the derivative of the terminal phase voltages regarding to a virtual neutral point. For starting-up the motor and implementing the algorithms of the detection technique, a FPGA board with a real-time processor is used. Also, a versatile hardware has been developed for driving BLDC motors through pulse width modulation (PWM) signals. Delta and wye winding motors have been considered for evaluating the performance of the designed hardware and software, and tests with and without load are performed. Experimental results for validating the detection technique were attained in the range 5-1500 rpm and 5-150 rpm under no-load and full-load conditions, respectively. Specifically, speed and position square errors lower than 3 rpm and between 10º-30º were obtained without load. In addition, the speed and position errors after full-load tests were around 1 rpm and between 10º-15º, respectively. These results provide the evidence that the developed technique allows to detect the position and speed of BLDC motors with low accuracy errors at starting-up and over a wide speed range, and reduce the influence of noise in position sensing, which suggest that it can be satisfactorily used as a reliable alternative to position sensors in precision applications.

In this paper, vibration characteristics of double-walled carbon nanotubes (CNTs) is studied based upon nonlocal elastic shell theory. The significance of small scale is being perceived by developing nonlocal Love shell model. The wave propagation approach has been utilized to frame the governing equations as eigen value system. The influence of nonlocal parameter subjected to diverse end supports has been overtly analyzed. An appropriate selection of material properties and nonlocal parameter has been considered. The influence of changing mechanical parameter Poisson's ratio has been investigated in detail. The dominance of boundary conditions via nonlocal parameter is shown graphically. The results generated furnish the evidence regarding applicability of nonlocal shell model and also verified by earlier published literature.

압축성 흙에 대한 천밀침하의 수치해석 연구는 이제까지 Terzaghi의 정밀론을 간단히 확장하여 사용해 왔다. 그러나 비선형 응력-변형관계, 다층토, 큰 변형의 문제를 고려한 보다 복잡한 문제를 탄밀론에 적응한 예는 거의 없었다. 본 연구의 목적은 압축성 흙에서도 다층토를 중심으로 시간과 위치에 따른 추밀도와 과잉간극수압을 보다 실제적인 조건에 부합되도록 하기 위하여 유한차분법을 사용한 수치해석을 근거로 유용한 컴퓨터 알고리즘을 개발하는 데 있다. 압밀식을 해석하는 Explicit Scheme이 전체 깊이에 대한 최적분할 깊이율과 아울러 Operator의 변화에 따른 안정조건과 수고의 관점에서 연구되었다. 침하의 예측에 대해 전통적인 대석과 수식해법이 기초를 둔 개발된 알고리즘으로부터 새로운 알고리즘은 압축성 흙에 있어 전통적인 이론보다 우수한 것으로 판명되었다.

Background: Few studies have examined theoretically informed constructs related to hepatitis B (HBV) testing, and comparisons across studies are challenging due to lack of uniformity in constructs assessed. The present analysis examined relationships among Health Behavior Framework factors across four Asian American groups to advance the development of theory-based interventions for HBV testing in at-risk populations. Methods: Data were collected from 2007-2010 as part of baseline surveys during four intervention trials promoting HBV testing among Vietnamese-, Hmong-, Korean- and Cambodian-Americans (n = 1,735). Health Behavior Framework constructs assessed included: awareness of HBV, knowledge of transmission routes, perceived susceptibility, perceived severity, doctor recommendation, stigma of HBV infection, and perceived efficacy of testing. Within each group we assessed associations between our intermediate outcome of knowledge of HBV transmission and other constructs, to assess the concurrent validity of our model and instruments. Results: While the absolute levels for Health Behavior Framework factors varied across groups, relationships between knowledge and other factors were generally consistent. This suggests similarities rather than differences with respect to posited drivers of HBV-related behavior. Discussion: Our findings indicate that Health Behavior Framework constructs are applicable to diverse ethnic groups and provide preliminary evidence for the construct validity of the Health Behavior Framework.

The purpose of this study was to investigate sodium consumption and related psychosocial factors among hypertensive patients and normal adults through questionnaire development. The Theory of Planned Behavior provided the basis for the study. The mean blood pressure of subjects was 117. 1 mmHg/78.55mgHg in normal adults(N-218), 159.65mmHg/102.05mmHg(systolic/diastolic) in hypertensive group(N=219) and the sodium consumption was 5219.4${\pm}$1821.3mg in normal adults and 4631.4${\pm}$1749.1mg in hypertensive group. The results of Multiple logistic regression analysis showed that the odds of being hypetensive group were increasd as subjects felt that dalty food (OR=1.5) (OR=0.8). The odds of beign hypertensive group increased as subject received more support. With respect to perceived control, the odds of being hypertensive group were increased as subjects felt more confident in contolling salty intake when spouse likes to take salty food(OR=1.4). In contrast, subjects felt less confident in contolling sodium consumption when they took medicine(OR=0.8). Study findings revealed that all three factors, attitudes, subjective norms, and perceived control contributed to the model for explaining intentions, with subjective norms being most important. This findings provided the empirical evidence for the TPB in explaining salt intake. This study suggest that educational interventions for hypertension patients focus on changing sodium consumption through changing attitude toward high sodium consumption, subjective norms, perceived control over reducing sodium consumption of specific situations, specially subjective norms and perceived control. In addition, interventions may include strategies to change attitudes toward sodium consumption by helping hypertensive patients realize negative beliefs and modifying positive beliefs and to elicit and maintain subjective norm from doctors, family and neighbors, and to increase control beliefs for reducing sodium consumption.(Korean J Nutrition 33(8) : 833-839, 2000)
