The purpose of this study is to measure the effects of disgust with meat mediating the factors influencing pork consumption. The total of 250 questionnaires were completed. The structural equation model was used to measure the causal effect among constructs. The results demonstrated that the confirmatory factor analysis model provided an excellent model fit. The unrestricted model yielded a significantly better fit to the data than the restricted model. The effects of moral concerns for animals, meat texture and satiety from meat except for color in meat and negative body esteem on disgust with meat were statistically significant. As expected, disgust with meat had a significant effect on pork consumption. Moreover, moral concerns for animals, meat texture and satiety from meat had indirect influence on pork consumption. The overall findings offer strong empirical support for the intuitive notion that improving the level of disgust with meat can increase favorable pork consumption intentions and decrease unfavorable intentions.

This study examined which factors influence the parental borrowing for children's college education in the U.S. A double-hurdle model was applied to analyze both the parents’decision to borrow and the amount of borrowing. Parents’income and total costs of college attendance had significant positive effects on both the decision to borrow and the amount borrowed. Students’income, parents’cash and savings had significant negative impacts on the amount borrowed, while home equity and the students’expected future income were significant positive factors. Greater amounts of grants significantly increased the probability of borrowing, but reduced the loan amount. Parents with smaller household size, and those who were college graduates were more likely to borrow. White parents borrowed greater amounts than did their non-White counterparts. The age of the student was a significant negative factor in the probability, as well as the level, of borrowing.

This article aims to provide a design method of warning thresholds for active safety systems based on the performance-based approach considering driver behaviors. Both positive and negative consequences of warnings are considered, and the main idea is to choose a warning threshold where the positive consequence is maximized, whereas the negative consequence is minimized. The process of the performance-based approach involves: Defining the operating scenarios; setting the trajectory models, including human characteristics; estimating the alert and nominal trajectories; estimating the performance metrics; generating a performance-metric plot; and determining the alert thresholds. This paper chose a lane-departure warning system as an example to show the usefulness of the performance-based approach. Both human and sensor characteristics were considered in the system design, and this paper provided a quantitative method to include human factors in designing active safety systems.

This paper investigates control algorithms for a doubly fed induction generator(DFIG) with a back-to-back three-level neutral-point clamped voltage source converter in medium voltage wind power system under unbalanced grid conditions. Two different control algorithms to compensate for unbalanced conditions are proposed. Evaluation factors of control algorithm are fault ride-through(FRT) capability, efficiency, harmonic distortions and torque pulsation. Zero regulated negative sequence stator current control algorithm has the most effective performance concerning FRT capability and efficiency. Ripple-free control algorithm nullifies oscillation component of active power and reactive power. Ripple-free control algorithm shows the least harmonic distortions and torque pulsation. Combination of zero regulated negative sequence stator current and ripple-free control algorithm control algorithm depending on the operating requirements and depth of grid unbalance presents the most optimized performance factors under the generalized unbalanced operating conditions leading to high performance DFIG wind turbine system.

This study was investigated, from October to November, 1995, how environmental factors affected both the diversity and the ecology of soil microarthropods according to the sampling sites at althletic training park located in Chonju, Chonbuk. The results obtained are as follow: At the sampling areas, the soil microarthropods were identified into 6 classes, 15 orders, 17,145 individuals. Arachnida showed the highest individual rate (74.10%) in soil mictoarthropods and Acari occupied the great majority (97.98%) in Archinida. Collembola showed the highest individual rate (82.01%) in Insecta. Species planted at althletic training park were 10 famillies 12 genera 20 species 2 varietas 1 forma. In environmental factors which have an effect on the distribution of the soil microarthropods, acarina showed positive correlation for rate of carbon/nitrogen, soil moisture, soil acidity, and lead(Pb) and also negative correlation for solidity and intensity of lightness. Collembola and other animals showed negative correlation for solidity.

Smoking is one of the three major risk factors for vascular disease along with hypertension and hyperlipidemia. It is true that smoking has a negative effect on the circulatory system, and the frequency of coronary artery disease and peripheral vascular disease is significantly increased in smokers. Many epidemiological studies report that smokers have an approximately two-fold increased risk of coronary artery disease compared to non-smokers. This study was designed to investigate the relationship between cerebral blood flow change and depression index after acute smoking. Cerebral blood flow tests were performed before and after smoking in 8 subjects. Changes in blood flow after smoking were correlated with the depression score and negatively correlated with the depression score. In particular, there was a strong correlation with changes in blood flow in anterior cerebral artery. It is well known that changes in blood flow after smoking have a negative effect. In addition, considering the study that smoking aggravates the symptoms of depression, it was found that smoking and depression are factors that negatively affect each other.

This study investigates the impact of perceived risk, perceived deception, and negative emotional factors on consumer distrust, dissatisfaction, and boycott intentions towards both YouTubers and products that fail to adequately disclose paid advertisements, commonly referred to as "hidden advertisement." Conducted through an online survey, 306 YouTube viewers from South Korea participated in the study. The findings reveal several key insights. Firstly, perceived deception, perceived risk, and negative emotional factors are identified as contributors to increased consumer distrust and dissatisfaction. Secondly, both consumer distrust and dissatisfaction exhibit positive correlations with boycott intentions towards YouTubers and products. This research seeks to unravel the intricacies of online consumer boycott intentions and aims to elucidate the underlying reasons behind such actions. It is noteworthy that in this context, the ramifications of boycotts extend beyond influencers or YouTubers alone, impacting consumer distrust and dissatisfaction, thereby influencing boycott intentions towards the associated products and exerting a lasting impact on a company's branding efforts.
