  • Time series changes in the chlorophyll $\alpha$ concentrations before and after the ship Prestige oil spill on 13 November 2002 were analyzed using NCEP wind data and ocean color data. Following the oil spill, southwesterly winds pushed the oil towards the Spanish coast. In addition, the daily chlorophyll $\alpha$ concentration decreased dramatically from the middle of November to the end of December 2002, with the minimum value being recorded in December. Additionally, the mean chlorophyll $\alpha$ concentration in November and December 2002 was lower than the average value recorded for the same months from 2000 to 2005; however, with the exception of 2000, the concentration was higher in October 2002 before the spill and in January-March 2003 after the spill during the same period from 2000 to 2005.

  • Focusing on the communication effects of fast fashion visual merchandising (VM), this paper examines the effects of a fast fashion store's VM attributes on consumer's perceptions of store image towards newness and prestige that influence the time spent at stores as well as the frequency of visits. This study was conducted by collecting data online using males and females in their twenties to forties; subsequently, a total of 382 samples were analyzed. The VM communication effect model utilized in fast fashion stores was developed and tested on structural equation modeling. The findings of the study were as follows. First, the show window presentation and ancillary facilities of VM elements have a positive effect on the perception of newness, while merchandise display, layout, and signage have a positive influence on the perception of prestige. Therefore, the VM elements in the fast fashion stores that affect the perception of newness and prestige are unique. Second, the perceptions of newness and prestige have a positive impact on time spent in fast fashion stores; however, only the perception of store's newness has a significant effect on the frequency of visits. Third, show window presentation and facilities are VM elements that directly influence the time spent and frequency of visits. Finally, we confirm that store image partially mediate between VM elements and shopping behavior at a fast fashion store.
