  • CKP isoenzymes have a high level of efficaciousness as diagnostic and prognostic aids in various diseases. There is not any report on the total activity of CPK of non-human primates, let alone CPK isoenzyme patterns, in Korea. In this study, total activities and isoenzyme patterns of CPK were measured to obtain their reference values in domestically reared common marmosets, crab-eating macaques and Japanese macaques. We observed remarkable different values of serum total CPK from the primates used in this experiment. Serum CPK activities of Japanese macaques and crab-eating macaques were 275.8$\pm$158.1 IU/l and 396.7$\pm$697.4 IU/l, respectively, whereas those of common marmosets showed much higher value of 618.8$\pm$1,117.6 IU/l. In all common marmosets and crab-eating macaques, only CPK$_3$ ws observed. In five out of eight Japanese macaques, CPK$_3$ was the sole fraction but two animals showed CPK$_1$ and CPK$_3$ isoenzymes, and the remaining one had CPK$_2$ and CPK$_3$ fractions. There were some discrepancies in the pattern and ratio of isoenzyme fractions in Japanese macaques. In conclusion, values such as CPK and CPK isoenzyme patterns of investigated for the first time form non-human primates reared in Korea, could be reference values for the optimal diagnosis and therapy diseases of the corresponding animal species.

  • This paper presents how to build a human sensibility database by multivariate method. And, we discribe a fuzzy based inference system which converts human sensibility data to design factors using the human sensibility database. We are able to obtain the values of multiple correlation coeffcient, partial correlation coefficient, and categories by the quantification theory which is multivariate analysis. So, the human sensibility database is constructed from those values. The inference system will be more useful, if the human sensibility database and graphic design factor database were integrated.

  • Many researchers are studying about human Brain-Computer Interface(BCI) that it based on electroencephalogram(EEG) signals of multichannel. The researches of EEG signals are used for detection of a seizure or a epilepsy and as a lie detector. The researches about an interface between Brain and Computer have been studied robots control and game of using human brain as engineering recently. Especially, a field of brain studies used EEG signals is put emphasis on EEG artifacts elimination for correct signals. In this paper, we measure EEG signals as human emotions and divide it into five frequence parts. They are calculated related the percentage of selecting range to total range. the calculating values are compared standard values by Bayesian Network. lastly, we show the human face avatar as human Emotion.

  • A simplified model of seat-human body is presented to analyze vibrations of human body on a seat of vehicle. The theoretical model having seven degrees-of-freedom is composed of the inter-connected masses, springs and dampers. Until now, evaluation of ride comfort has been usually performed only through vehicle tests. This study aims to complement shortcomings of conventional vehicle tests in evaluation of ride comfort by using the theoretical model. The acceleration values of the human body are obtained from frequency response functions of the theoretical model. Thereafter, Ride and SEAT indexes are acquired by considering response characteristics of the human body for the 12 axes that are presented in BS 6841. A vehicle test is carried out to measure the acceleration values for the three parts of the human body such as upper body, hip and foot. Ride and SEAT indexes of the vehicle test are also obtained by considering the response characteristics of the human body, of which results are compared with the values from the theoretical model. It is found that the theoretical results are in good agreement with the experimental results.

  • This study investigates the relationship between South Korean youths' Confucian values and sense of citizen ethics while presenting outlook on the sense of citizen ethics based on the theory of human nature. The purpose of this study, by doing so, is to present educational measures. For this purpose, empirical research method was applied in this study. In the empirical study, youths were surveyed and the answers were statistically analyzed and discussed with a view to achieve the study purpose. In the empirical research part of the study, Korean youths' awareness on Confucian values was examined along with its relationship with the sense of citizen ethics. The effect of Confucian values on sense of citizen ethics and their relationship were analyzed to evaluate the receptivity of youths on Confucian ideas and usefulness of sense of citizen ethics. This study investigated a total of final 311 sets of data from male and female students at middle and high schools located in Seoul, Gyeonggi, South Korea. First, to identify the youths' Confucian values and level of sense of citizen ethics, descriptive statistical analysis was conducted. As a result, the survey subjects were found to have, concerning the Confucian values, world view M=3.54, human relations view M=3.66, morality cultivation M=3.76, and social order M=3.45, higher than 3.0 to represent positive levels. The morality cultivation, in particular, was recorded the highest among all whereas the social order was relatively lower, which represents the degree of relying on Confucian values to establish social order. Second, the sub-variables of Confucian values were verified according to the personal characteristics of the surveyed youths and differences in their entire perception was investigated. As a result, according to gender, morality cultivation was found higher in female students (M=3.85) than in male students (M=3.64). According to the subjective economic level of their household, world view was found higher in upper class (M=3.98) than middle-low class (M=3.25) and low class (M=3.22) while human relations view was found higher in middle-upper class (M=3.79) than low class (M=3.46). As for the family type, morality cultivation was found higher in extended family (M=3.83) than nuclear family (M=3.62); and social order was higher in extended family (M=3.54) than nuclear family (M=3.36). Third, to verify the study theme of identifying the effects of youths' Confucian values on sense of citizen morality, hierarchical regression analysis was employed in this study, which used the multi-level model of multiple regression analysis. As a result, the Confucian values was found to have significant positive (+) correlations with the entire sense of citizen ethics in order of human relations view(${\beta}=.499$), world view(${\beta}=.412$), social order(${\beta}=.341$), and morality cultivation(${\beta}=.241$). Confucian value showed significant positive (+) correlations with autonomy in order of morality cultivation(${\beta}=.458$), human relations view(${\beta}=.454$), social order(${\beta}=.362$), and world view(${\beta}=.158$). Confucian values was found to have significant positive (+) correlations with community spirit in order of human relations view(${\beta}=.295$), social order(${\beta}=.281$), and morality cultivation(${\beta}=.232$). As shown in the findings above, youths' Confucian values was found to have significant positive (+) effects on the sense of citizen ethics. It is noted that the higher the Confucian values, the more positive the sense of citizen ethics would be. Consequentially, the Confucian values was identified to play an important role in the sense of citizen ethics in the modern society. Based on this analysis, this study presented specific measures - the necessity and possibility of education on sense of citizen ethics under the theory of human nature. To this end, this study proposed to find an optimal interface between the contemporary sense of citizen ethics and Confucian ethics through the respect for human life and nature, man of virtue as the ideal human model, and united society as a desirable society model.

  • This study was performed to examine the effects of salt addition level on changes in the physicochemical properties and color values of salted shrimp during fermentation. Fresh shrimp were salted with different concentrations (8, 18, 28%) of Chunil salt and fermented at $20^{\circ}C$ for 160 days. In the 8% salted shrimp treatment, volatile basic nitrogen (VBN), amino nitrogen (AN), and trimethylamine (TMA) contents rapidly increased during the fermentation period, while in the 18 and 28% salt groups these increases were reduced throughout the 160 days of fermentation. Thiobarbituric acid (TBA) values increased rapidly for 120 days of fermentation and then decreased. The thiobarbituric acid values of the 18, and 28% salted and fermented shrimp groups were lower than the that of the 8% group. In addition, Hunter's color L, a, and b values decreased as the fermentation period increased.

  • Character education is an opportunity for students to develop character through teaching values in schools. In the past, students have been taught values at home but contemporary society has strongly encouraged the public schools to provide time for children to learn values because society is facing a crisis of human values that affects the behavior of individuals. According to research findings, the primary benefit of character education is to develop the intellectual, personal, and social aspects of students. However, there are some problems concerning how to teach values and how to evaluate student outcomes in public schools. This article explores the current character education in the U. S. through a review of the literature in order to reach a better understanding of how character education might be included in the Family and Consumer Sciences Education curriculum.
