Objectives : The aims of this study were to observe how effect bell sound, water sound and drum sound have on origin regions for acupuncture of twelve meridians by yangdorak diagnosis, and to practice it clinically. Methods : Firstly, ire measured origin regions for acupuncture of twelve meridians by yangdorak diagnosis, after we relieved a subject for 10 minutes. Secondly, we measured origin regions for acupuncture of twelve meridians by yangdorak diagnosis, after a subject listened to bell sound, water sound and drum sound for 3 minutes. Results : Through testing the effects of bell sound, water sound and drum sound on numerical values of origin regions for acupuncture of twelve meridians by yangdorak diagnosis, we had follows; 1. On bell sound, the numerical values of origin regions for acupuncture of twelve meridians by yangdorak diagnosis descended from 38.8 to 28.8 in left, and from 40.4 to 30.8 in right. 2. On water sound, the numerical values of origin regions for acupuncture of twelve meridians by yangdorak diagnosis descended from 55.4 to 39.4 in left, and from 56.0 to 41.9 in right. 3. On drum sound, the numerical values of origin regions for acupuncture of twelve meridians by yangdorak diagnosis descended from 39.1 to 30.1 in left, and from 38.4 to 38.0 in right. Conclusion : Through testing the effects of tone sounds on numerical values of origin lesions for acupuncture of twelve meridians by yangdorak diagnosis, we confirmed that change of tone colors go by five elemental theory rule and have effect on enery and blood metabolism.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of family-of-origin experiences(family-of-origin health, parents' marital satisfaction, parents' care, and parents' overprotection) on marital intimacy. Data were collected using the self-administered questionnaire method by Internet Survey of 480 married men and women. The results showed that first, there were significant differences between family-of-origin experiences (family-of-origin health, parents' marital satisfaction, parents' care, and parents' overprotection) and marital intimacy according to sex, educational level, income, and the first-rum child's school level. Second, marital intimacy was positively correlated with family-of-origin health, parents' marital satisfaction, and parents' care, but was negatively correlated with parents' overprotection. Third, the results of multiple regression analyses showed that indicated that the marital intimacy of married men and women were influenced by education level, income, the first-born child's school level, and family-of-origin health.

The participants of this study were 261 married men and 274 married women whose marital period were less than 14 years, and whose first child was less than 12 years old and who were living in Chungbuk Province. Data were analyzed by frequency, percentages, ttest, F-test with Tukey test for post-hoc test, Cronbach ${\alpha}$ for reliability analysis, factor analysis, and Pearson's correlation using the SPSS program(12.0 version). The model test was done with analysis of correlational matrix by the AMOS 5.0 package using a maximum likelihood estimation. Family of origin differentiation, ego identity, and attitude toward children had different effects on marital intimacy according to gender. Also, ego identity was the strongest predictor of men's marital intimacy whereas attitude was the strongest for women's marital intimacy.

In the context of export-oriented growth strategy, Korea has promoted the conclusion of FTAs and 16 FTAs have entered into force or concluded so far. Despite of these efforts, the expansion of the global value chain (GVC) has resulted in fragmentation of production processes and international companies have been struggling to meet the criteria for determining the rule of origin. In order to overcome these difficulties, some foreign FTAs have been introducing cross-cumulation of origin. In this paper, we try to examine empirically whether the easing of the rules of origin using cross-cumulation contributes to the increase in actual value-added exports. we quantify the effects of cross-cumulation included in the EU-Vietnam FTA on Korean exports of the textile through a gravity model using the concept of value-added export. Based on the analysis results, the proportion of value-added exports in Vietnam increased by adoption of cross-cumulation of origin, which consequently resulted into an increase in total exports. This paper tries to draw several implications for the rules of origin in Korea's FTAs including cross-cumulation considering the export value chain of Korea.

The purpose of this study was to measure the tourists' preference for alternative restaurants with different combinations of 4 attribute levels: origin description, food type, price and service guarantee. A total of 210 questionnaires were completed from tourists who visited Kwangyang, Suncheon and Yeosu during Jan. 2 - Jan. 15, 2007. Conjoint experiment method was used to develop hypothetical restaurants. Ordinal probit model was used to measure the effects of attribute levels on the tourists' preference. Results of the study demonstrated that the ordinal probit model analysis result for the data indicated excellent model fit. The effects of attribute levels (origin description, traditional food, fusion food, price, service guarantee) on the tourists' preference were statistically significant. As expected, estimates of marginal willingness to pay for origin description(3.063), food type(2.349), and service guarantee(2.356) were statistically significant. Moreover, tourists were more willing to pay for origin description than other attribute levels. Tourists also considered the origin description as the very important attribute. In conclusion, based on conjoint analysis, a model was proposed of marginal willingness to pay of attribute levels. It should be noted that the original model was modified and should, preferably, be validated in future research.

The purpose of this study was to prove the effects of parents' family-of-origin experiences on their parenting efficacy among 260 parents with children aged between 3 and 7. The results were as follows. First, depending on parents' gender, with children aged between 3 and 7, both parents were found to positively perceive each factor in their family-of-origin experience and parenting efficacy. Second, fathers showed differences based on their income satisfaction and their mothers' employment status in their family of origin. Mothers showed differences in parenting efficacy according to their age, monthly average family income, and economic status in their family of origin. Third, both parents' experiences with their family of origin were correlated with their parenting efficacy. Fourth, family-of-origin health was found to be the most significant family-of-origin variable influencing parents' parenting efficacy. Wealth and experience of triangulation were found to be the influential factors common to both parents. Fathers' experiences of acceptance from their parents in their family of origin was a predictive factor of parenting efficacy. In contrast, in the case of mothers with more than two kids, when their family of origin was an extended family and when the mother in their family of origin had stayed at home, they showed higher parenting efficacy in their current parenting.

The purpose of this study was to examine the mediating effect of the adult attachment in the relationship between the family of origin functioning and fear of intimacy. Data were collected through a questionnaire from 557 university students in the Jeollabuk-do of South Korea. The collected data were analyzed by basic descriptive statistics, Pearson's correlations and multiple regression analysis. Baron and Kenny's method was used and examined, and the Sobel test was performed to determine the mediating model's significance. It was adapted to SPSS ver. 18.0 for Windows. The major findings were as follows: first, the functioning of family-of-origin was negatively related to the fear of intimacy. In addition, younger students and students with less past dating experience were more likely to fear of intimacy. Second, fear of intimacy was influenced by the family-of-origin through the intermediate effect of attachment avoidance and attachment anxiety. Attachment avoidance and attachment anxiety had partial mediating effects on the relationship between family-of-origin functioning and the fear of intimacy. That is, family-of-origin functioning was shown to have not only a direct effect, but also an indirect effect through attachment avoidance and attachment anxiety, on the fear of intimacy. The results of this study suggest that the importance of family-of-origin functioning in order to improve Korean college students' intimacy abilities.
