Although nano materials are used a lot in industries, there has not been any standard nano hazard graphic symbol. An experiment was conducted to know the comprehension ratio of newly designed eight nano graphic symbols. To compare the symbols with existing safety graphic symbols, other sixteen symbols were also included. 54 subjects evaluated the difficulties of graphic symbols on seven point Likert scale and answered the meaning for each symbol. The all eight nano safety symbols marked under 30% comprehension ratio. However, one of them didn't show any statistically significant difference with other existing safety symbols as like bio hazard, radiation, and laser. Therefore the nano symbol tested in the best could be adopted as the nano safety graphic symbol if it is sufficiently exposed in training period and used with warning label. The workers in industries using nano materials can be alerted and protect themselves where the sign is attached.

The purpose of this study was to assess students’ preference on set menus served in school foodservice. Questionnaires were distributed to 4,050 students enrolled in 34 middle and high schools located in Seoul, Gyeonggi, and Gyeongnam provinces. The students were asked to assess their preferences on 78 set menus using a 5-point Likert-type scale(1 : very dislike - 5 : very like). Excluding responses with significant missing data, usable responses were 3,433. Data were analyzed with descriptive analysis, t-test, and one-way analysis of variance. There was no difference between middle and high school students in terms of set menu preferences. On the other hand, there was significant difference between boys' and girls' set menu preferences. Among the seven given set menu groups(rice and soup with side dishes, tangs, rice with toppings, fried rice, western foods, noodles.ddeokguk.dumpling soups, and bibimbaps), boys had higher preference scores for the rice and soup with side dishes, tangs, rice with toppings, and fried rice than that of girls. Fried rice set menus were chosen to be boys’ favorite menus while western food set menus were most preferred by the girls. Rice and soup with side dishes set menus were least preferred by both boys and girls.

In this study, visual evaluation was performed with changes in peplums design to provide data which can enhance wearing image effects at the production of peplums one-piece. According to changes in volume and position of peplums, a total of 9 stimulants were chosen. Then, they were evaluated using a seven-point rating scale against 50 fashion students. The data has been analyzed by Factor Analysis, ANOVA, $Scheff{\acute{e}}$'s Test and the MCA method. The results of the study are as follows : 1. According to factor analysis, the components of visual evaluation depending on the changes in volume and position variations of peplums were divided into four factors: elegance, individuality, upper body correction and upper body emphasis. 2. According to visual evaluation depending on changes in the position variations of peplum, 'high waist' and 'natural waist' revealed a significant difference in elegance, individuality and upper body correction. 'Low waist' was observed in all four positions. 3. According to visual evaluation depending on the changes in volume of peplums, a significant difference at $45^{\circ}$ was observed in except for elegance. Significant differences at $90^{\circ}$ and $180^{\circ}$ were observed in all four positions. 4. In terms of interactions over in volume and position variations of peplums, interaction effects were found in two factors.

This study aimed to investigate the characteristics of 3 pre-treatment of mealworm(Tenebrio molitor), and offer basic research data through appropriate pre-treatment method based on the component analysis result. This study was preparing the control group sample No.0(not contain mealworm), and the other sample (Sample No.1,2,3) was using the mealworm prepared in each of the three methods. By using the sample, this study conducted an inspection for component analysis, mineral contents, pH, color value, total amount polyphenols, DPPH radical scavenging activity, reducing power, acceptance test. Each experiments are three times repeated and validated following the one-way ANOVA analysis to verify a significant difference. Acceptance test conducted by 50 consumers indicate consumption decision for sunsik. using the seven point scale, assessment for appearance, flavor, taste, texture, overall acceptance. The research findings showed that sample containing sauted mealworm(SE2) is higher preference and significant in antioxidant activity(total amount polyphenols, DPPH radical scavenging activity, reducing power). Therefore, it is better to use sauted. The result of this study suggest that sauted mealworm is good ingredient for consumer acceptability and functionality of sunsik. According to results of the study, it is suggested to make better use of food, and provide food developer with meaningful date for market targeting. In addition, this study also provides the information for improving awareness of edible insect.

Method: A cross-sectional survey design with convenience sampling was employed. Questionnaires were used to collect data from 315 nurses in seven university-affiliated OM hospitals. The questionnaire included 174 oriental nursing terms about actions, tests, drugs, and theories. Multiple regression analysis was performed to determine factors associated with the level of use. Results: The response rate was 98.1% (n=309). Overall mean score for use of essential oriental nursing terms was 2.7(${\pm}\;0.7$) on a five-point Likert scale. Significant factors associated with the level of use were workplace and knowledge of oriental nursing theory terms. Nurses who worked in nursing care wards and those who had a higher level of knowledge of oriental nursing theories had a higher level of use. Conclusions: These findings indicate that level of use of essential oriental nursing terms were below average. Educational programs to enhance knowledge of oriental nursing theories need to be implemented for nurses in OM hospitals, considering their workplace, in order to facilitate nursing data sharing and communication among healthcare providers.

This paper examines key determinants and the effect of country-of-origin on customer's purchase intention of functional food and dietary supplement product in Vietnam. Exploratory study was identified to evaluate personal and social factors on customer's buying behavior. Twenty-eight reflective constructs were adapted from literature and designed by using a seven-point Likert scale to facilitate measurement. By using non-probability convenience sampling, data was collected from a survey of 242 Vietnamese who have experienced in buying functional and supplement food. This paper employed partial least square structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) as a technique employed to analyze the measurement and structural models. The findings provide evidence that social prestige customer perceives and their positive attitude toward functional food which are main factors influencing on consumers' purchase intention. Customer's perceived prestige plays an important role in decision-making process to purchase. The higher social prestige taken up in consumers' mind, the higher consumers' purchase intention is. Moreover, the more positive attitude customer holds toward functional food, the higher consumers' purchase intention. The research results provide useful information in current understanding of what antecedents determine factors influencing customer's intention to purchase functional food and lead to managerial implications for business strategies.

This investigates the type of pants preferred by Korean men in their 20s through a subjective wear test. Six types of men's pants were developed as experimental garments. The male subjects were university students between the ages of 20 and 24. Subjective wear sensations of the experimental pants were rated using seven Likert scales. A 7-point Likert-type scale was used for the evaluation, with 7 indicating the best fit. As a result, a basic men's sloper for lower body clothing was developed based on SizeKorea 2004 anthropometric measurements surveyed between 2003 and 2004. A basic pattern (A) was manipulated to tight-fit pants (E) and loose-fit pants (D, L, M, and N) by considering the ease at hip level and the style. Among the six pants, pants D and L (4cm ease at hip level) were found to be superior to others in terms of comfort, fitting, and crotch depth. With regard to ease and comfort of the crotch part, pants E and A (0cm ease at hip level) were found to be the least preferred.
