As the importance of maritime communication in a cross-cultural onboard working environment grows, the importance of developing systematic supporting aids both for learning and teaching maritime English has been emphasized. Given that English communication proficiency is one of the most critical factors in determining a seafarer's competency, a systemic supporting system for enhancing maritime English communication capabilities is essential not only for them to professionally carry out and conduct assigned duties onboard, but also for them to navigate success in their lives through increased labour mobility both at sea and onshore. The APEC Seafarers Excellence Network initiates the production of Maritime English Communication Packages for seafarers in APEC regions, under the leadership of the Republic of Korea. This paper introduces the design of APEC SEN Maritime English Communication Packages, which include textbooks, audio-lingual materials, online/mobile life-long learning platform and testing aids, ultimately for upand re-skilling of seafarers to increase their employability, mobility and preparedness for the future shipping industry where globalisation is expected to further accelerate.

Purpose - It is well known that chemyon, referred to by Westerners as face, naturally penetrates the daily life of Asians and influences their cognition, emotion, and behavior. Studies related to chemyon have been conducted in marketing and consumer behavior fields (e.g., luxury products or brands, service failure and recovery, brand preferences, consumer decision making, wedding ceremony, gift giving). A bulk of studies demonstrate that chemyon influences consumption behavior in Asian consumers. Although chemyon significantly influences consumption behavior of Asian consumers, it is also a cultural phenomenon that is not completely explained within the Western viewpoint. Whereas a number of researchers have approached cross-cultural studies of Asian and Western consumers, a limited number of studies have examined it from the perspective of chemyom. The purpose of this study is to compare the phenomenon that chemyon (face) not only affects the consumption behavior of Asia and the West universally (pan-culturally), but also distinctively (culture-specifically). That is, the purpose of this study is to describe that chemyon (face) is not only a culture-specific phenomenon but also a universal phenomenon in the consumption behavior of Asian and Western consumers, even though the extent that chemyon (face) impacts consumption behavior is differentiated. This study aims to understand commonalities and differences between Asian and Western consumption behavior in terms of chemyon (face), and to suggest how to enhance marketing effectiveness in a global market based on understanding the consumption behavior of Asia and the West. Research design, data, and methodology - Using systematic literature review and meta-analysis, this study investigates consumption behavior of Asian and Western consumers from the perspective of chemyon (face). Systematic literature review was used to compare face (chemyon) consumption of Western consumers with that of Asian consumers. To verify systematic literature review, meta-analysis was also accomplished. Results - First, the influence of face (chemyon) on consumption behavior is observed in Western consumers as well as Asian consumers. Second, Asian consumers are more influenced by face (chemyon) than Western consumers. Conclusions - Overall, chemyon (face) can affect the consumption behavior of Asians as well as the consumption behavior of Westerners.

Purpose: This study aimed to describe the cultural competence among community health practitioners (CHPs). Methods: A cross-sectional descriptive study design was used with a convenience sample of 257 CHPs. Data collection was conducted with a structured questionnaire, including Cultural Competence Assessment. Data were analyzed by t-test and ANOVA with the SPSS/WIN 17.0 program. Results: Most participants reported a moderate level of cultural competence (M=3.0,SD=0.41). Scores for culturally competent behaviors were high (M=3.4, SD=0.48) and cultural knowledge scores were low (M=2.6, SD=0.54). Those CHPs who were living with their family, were working in rural area, and had more opportunities to contact with multicultural patients and experience abroad showed significantly higher cultural competence. Conclusion: The findings support the need for future education and training to enhance CHPs' cultural competence.

This study sought to verify the shopping values that tourists pursue by purchasing at travel destinations based on tourists' motivation and identify the effects of these values on the types of fashion items preferred by tourists. Furthermore, this study verified the tourist shopping behavior of three Asian countries-Korea, China, and Japan-from a cross-cultural perspective. To obtain a sample that represents tourist shoppers in each country, a survey was conducted on adult men and women in their 20s to 60s, and 986 subjects were collected: 300 Koreans, 385 Chinese, and 301 Japanese. Factor analysis, structural equation modeling, and multigroup SEM were performed on the collected data using SPSS Statistics and AMOS. Based on escaping-seeking theory, tourist intentions were divided into escaping and seeking motivations, and tourist shopping values were divided into functional, emotional, and social. The shopping items were divided into materials and experiential goods to understand the difference between the types preferred by tourists according to the perceived value. In addition, differences in tourist shopping behaviors according to the three nationalities were identified. The findings illustrate that the escaping motive affects emotional and social values, whereas the seeking motive affects all three. Moreover, it was confirmed that functional and emotional values affect preference for material and experiential goods, but social value only affects preference for material goods. For the cross-cultural study, differences in tourist shopping behavior according to nationality were identified.

Purpose - In terms of human resource management, many Korean enterprises in China have experienced problems such as frequent resignations of Chinese employees and labor disputes. This can be mainly attributed to the fact that Chinese employees are not consistent with Korean vertical management methods, which is closely related to the national culture theory proposed by Hofstede, specifically the dimension of power distance and long- versus short-term orientation (LTO). Therefore, this research aims to investigate cultural differences between Korea and China from these two dimensions, and the impact on the human resource management of Korean-invested enterprises in China. Design/methodology - This research first utilizes the latest data (Wave 7) of the World Values Survey (WVS) to verify the difference in power distance and long- versus short-term orientation between Korean and Chinese cultures using responses from Korea and China, and then uses case analysis to analyze the impact of this cultural difference on the human resource management of Korean enterprises in China. Findings - Our main findings can be summarized as follows. Korea and China have significant differences in power distance and long- versus short-term orientation. In terms of power distance, Korean respondents show higher power distance compared to Chinese respondents. In the dimension of long- versus short-term orientation, it was found that Chinese respondents showed a shorter-term orientation, whereas Korean respondents showed a longer-term orientation. Originality/value - Previous studies put focus on the power distance and individualism-collectivism dimensions to explain cultural differences between Korea and China, and generated contradictory results. This research further confirms the cultural differences between Korea and China from the dimensions of power distance and long-versus short-term orientation using secondary data. The comparative studies from this perspective have long been underexplored and lack empirical confirmation.

이 논문은 국내에서 수년 전부터 유행하고 있는 북유럽디자인 소비에 대한 분석을 통해 한국 소비문화의 흐름에서 일본의 역할을 조명하는 연구이다. 비서구 국가 중 유일하게 선진 자본주의 국가의 대열에 합류했고 1980년대에는 미국과 경제력을 다투었던 일본이었지만 문화적 영향력에 대한 평가는 낮았다. 그런 일본이 1990년대 들어 대중문화상품으로 동아시아 지역에 어필하다가 대중문화 상품의 인기가 가라앉은 후에는 만화, 게임, 애니메이션 등 오타쿠계 서브컬쳐로 글로벌한 문화적 영향력을 행사하고 있다. 이 글에서는 1990년대부터 부상한 일본 문화의 영향력을 새로운 자포니즘으로 보고 한국의 북유럽 소비가 자포니즘의 매개와 주도 하에 진행되어 왔음을 제시한다. 일본이 구성한 북유럽에 대한 의미와 상징이 한국의 북유럽 소비에서 관철되고 있다는 의미이다. 의미와 스타일의 측면에서 일본의 슬로무비는 북유럽디자인에 미국발 '킨포크' 코드를 결합시켰다. 디자인의 측면에서는 아르누보를 매개로 일본 미학은 북유럽디자인과 시각적 유사성을 얻을 수 있었고 일본 가와이이 자카소품을 통해 북유럽디자인과 시각적 친숙함도 확보했다. 무엇보다 일본 잡화브랜드들이 출시한 북유럽풍 생활소품들을 통해 일상 속으로 북유럽디자인이 스며들었다. 또한 국내의 북유럽 소비는 일본 오타쿠들이 서브컬쳐를 포스트모던하게 소비하는 방식인 데이터베이스 소비방식으로 진행되고 있다. 일본이 만들어낸 북유럽에 대한 모에 요소가 한국에서도 북유럽 소비의 기호로 작동하고 있는 것이다.

The present study is following a series of research investigations on design resources coming from collected data referring to users' awareness and preferences. The aim of this research is to test the Healthcare Environmental Color Index as a basis for practitioners in the field of healthcare design. An array of color samples selected from previous research, have been presented to the respondents via an online survey, in order to identify the preferences of the two groups on the relation between environmental color and health. As a result of the first experiment and through the comparison of processed data, the maximum percentage of respondents from each group is validating the relation between environmental color and health. For the second experiment we intend to highlight the patterns of color preferences for each group, and thus to test the color samples healing function. The compared data also showed a higher awareness of Koreans than Romanians on the potential of color applied to healing environment. Last but not least in the third experiment we show the top five color samples preferred by each group. It is significant that the comparison of the results validated once more some of our previous findings related to the healthcare environment, such as: the general preference for the green hue (associated to fatigue relax according to color psychology) and the blue hue (sedation release effect) but also the yellow hue - associated to bright energy. Three out of the top five preferred color samples have been identical to both groups while the other two samples have shown characteristic variations. These results show that similarities are strong and can be used in a glocal design strategy as an accessible tool for any practitioner. Based on the Healthcare Environmental Color Index and users' preferences analysis, a new design culture for healthcare can be established and developed.

The purpose of this study is to identify cross-cultural features among Korea, China, and Japan by comparing differences in facial awareness, attractiveness preferences, and consideration of facial parts in a group of Korean, Chinese, and Japanese men and women as they evaluated the faces of Korean women in their 20s. A survey was conducted targeting male and female Korean, Chinese, and Japanese college students in their 20s. Frequency analysis, ANOVA, Duncan test, factorial analysis, and reliability analysis, MANOVA were carried out using SPSS 18.0. The results of this study are as follows: Faces of Korean women in their 20s were evaluated by Korean, Chinese, and Japanese men and women in their 20s and were classified into four categories as 'Youthfulness', 'Classiness', 'Friendliness' and 'Activeness'. Differences in facial image awareness were observed depending on nationality and gender. Korean participants were found to place importance on overall morphological factors; The Japanese focused on the eyes; and the Chinese on the skin color. Women of all nationalities showed, on average, a higher awareness of facial parts than men. No significant differences in facial attractiveness preferences were found based on nationality or gender, but there were differences in how the participants evaluated faces for attractiveness, showing that reasons for preferences may vary even if the preferences are the same.

본 연구의 목적은 파리, 런던, 뉴욕, 서울에서의 2006년 F/W 스트릿 패션을 고찰하여 다문화권적 현 추세에서 지역별 이질성 및 유사성을 확인하는 것으로 마켓에 있는 현재의 패션 트렌드를 이해하는 것에 중점을 두었다. 사진촬영법에 의하여 4개 지역의 패션 스트릿에서 같은 기간 동안 $20{\sim}50$대 여성들로 추정되는 대상들의 착장을 디지털 카메라를 사용하여 촬영한 후 데이터로 사용할 수 있는 신뢰성 있는 사진들로부터 필요한 정보를 SPSS에 입력하고 그 결과를 분석하였다. 런던/파리, 뉴욕, 서울로 마켓 지역을 세분화하여 고찰한 결과 서울은 서구 지역과는 달리 외의의 색상에서도 블랙이 강세이기 보다는 화이트, 베이지 계열이 높은 퍼센트를 차지하였고, 하의도 진이 주류를 이루었으며 투명한 스타킹 착용자가 많아 외모지향을 그대로 표출하였다. 상의 외투의 재료에 있어서는 런던/파리, 뉴욕, 서울은 유사하게 울 또는 그와 비슷한 소재가 강세를 이루었으나 뉴욕의 경우에는 검정색 힙 길이의 패딩 재킷과 스키니 바지를 입는 착장이 다른 지역보다 좀더 두드러져 차이를 보였다. 그러나 바지의 경우 전체적으로 스키니가 강세이며 런던/파리, 뉴욕에서 매우 높은 착장률을 보였고 이와는 다르게 서울 지역은 스키니도 강세이지만 미니나 쇼트 같은 하의가 타지역보다 비율이 높아서 상이한 착장실태를 보여주었다. 이와 같이 아이템별로 서울 사람들은 일부는 유러피언과 유사하고 일부는 뉴욕과 유사한 착장형태를 하고 있으며 또한 서울의 소비자들이 DIY 스타일도 보여 좀 더 다양하게 겨울 시즌에 옷을 연출하고 있음을 확인할 수 있었다. 이 연구는 착장실태에 관한 조사를 주로 하였으나 향후 각 패션 도시의 문화적 특성이나 소비자 행동에 관한 서베이를 동시에 병행하고 다년간 리서치를 진행한다면 좀더 학계 및 업계에 기여도가 클 것으로 사료된다.
