BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES: This study investigated the importance and performance level of sodium reduction practices in school meal service by school nutrition teachers and dietitians, and compared them according to school level and placement of the school nutrition teacher. SUBJECTS/METHODS: An online survey was conducted with 608 nutrition teachers and dietitians in schools in the Republic of Korea from September 28 to November 12, 2021 (response rate: 57%). The questionnaire comprised 11 items related to sodium reduction practices (purchasing, food preparation and serving, and education). The importance and performance level of each item was rated on a 5-point scale. The mean differences were analyzed using t-tests or one-way analyses of variance and Duncan's post-hoc tests. An importance-performance analysis was performed on sodium reduction practices. RESULTS: Participating in sodium reduction education, sodium reduction education for cooks, and sodium reduction education for students were assessed to have high importance but low performance. Overall, the higher the school level, the lower was the importance level of sodium reduction practices. The performance in kindergartens and elementary schools was higher than that in middle and high schools. The importance in the purchasing category perceived by dietitians was lower as compared to nutrition teachers. In addition, the performance in the purchasing, food preparation and serving, and education categories perceived by dietitians was lower than those of nutrition teachers. CONCLUSION: Sodium reduction education for nutrition teachers and dietitians, cooks, and students should prioritize practicing sodium reduction in school meal service. Specific guidelines for managing sodium reduction at all stages-purchasing, food preparation, and serving-should also be developed. The results could be used as basic data to reduce the sodium content in school meals.

In this study, in regard to fiber reinforced mortar mixing steel fiber and 4types of organic fiber, impact test was carried out. Because to predict fracture reduction performance with flexural, tensile strength when types of fiber were different as impact reduction performance of concrete is closely related with toughness such as flexural strength, tensile strength and fracture energy etc. As a result, enhancement of toughness by fiber reinforcement controls the spall of rear. On the other hand in case of steel fiber relatively turned up high toughness in appropriate load compared with organic fiber but in same mixing rate, impact reduction performance by projectile showed low performance due to few number of an individual of mixing.

Generally, the autogenous shrinkage of high performance concrete is important in that it can lead the early cracks in concrete structures. In the previous study, The. autogenous shrinakge of HPC was found to decrease with incresing expansive additive and shrinakge reduction agent. In case of combined use, the autogenous shrinakge was more reduction than in case separate use. The purpose of this study is to derive a realistic equation to estimate the autogenous shrinakge model of high performance concrete with exapnsive agent and shrinakge reduction agent. investigated the durability of high performance concrete using expansive additive and shrinkage reducing agent. The proposed equation showed reasonably good correlation with test data on autogenous shrinakge of high performance concrete with material for shrinkage reduction.

Previous studies have confirmed the performance of pH reduction agents using liquid sodium phosphate based ammonium chloride as a pH reduction agent. In this study, the pH reduction performance considering economical and applicability as a practical stage and the property change analysis for the identification of the reaction mechanism of the pH reduction agent were carried out. As a result, the pH reduction performance at a low rate of the pH reducing agent was confirmed. The specific gravity of CaO decreased significantly after XRF analysis. It is also believed that this reduces the amount of Ca(OH)₂ produced and contributes to pH reduction.

In this paper, we present a comparative performance analysis of several blocking artifact reduction algorithms. For the performance analysis, we propose a block boundary region classification algorithm which classifies each horizontal and vertical block boundary into four regions using brightness change near the block boundary. The PSNR performance of each algorithm is compared. The MSE according to each block boundary region is also compared. Experimental results show that the wavelet transform based blocking artifact reduction algorithms have better performance over the other methods.

The purpose of this study is to examine the relationship among innovation activities, innovation performance, and management performance of export firms. I first undertake a review of previous studies related to innovation activity, innovation performance, and export firms' innovation. Based on this, I set up a research model and hypotheses. First, The innovation activity is classified into product innovation activity, process innovation activity, and administrative innovation activity. Innovation performance is divided into product quality improvement and cost reduction. And the business performance is regarded as financial performance of export's firms. This study examined whether innovation activity affect innovation performance such as product quality improvement and cost reduction. In addition, I examined whether these innovation performance affects business performance (financial performance). To achieve this, a total of 368 questionnaires are used in this study and PLS (Partial Least Square) was used to analyze structural equation. As a result, this study shows that product innovation activity have a positive effect on product quality improvement, and process innovation activity also have a positive effect on product quality improvement. However, it was found that neither product innovation activity nor process innovation activity had an effect on cost reduction. And it was found that administrative innovation did not affect product quality improvement, but had a positive effect on cost reduction. Also, it was found that quality improvement, which is an innovation performance, did not affect the financial performance of export's firms, and cost reduction, which is an innovation performance, had a positive effect on the financial performance of the export's firms.

For pattern recognition on high-dimensional data, such as images, the dimensionality reduction as a preprocessing is effective. By dimensionality reduction, we can (1) reduce storage capacity or amount of calculation, and (2) avoid "the curse of dimensionality" and improve classification performance. Popular tools for dimensionality reduction are Principal Component Analysis (PCA), Linear Discriminant Analysis (LDA), and Independent Component Analysis (ICA) recently. Among them, only LDA takes the class labels into consideration. Nevertheless, it, has been reported that, the classification performance with ICA is better than that with LDA because LDA has restriction on the number of dimensions after reduction. To overcome this dilemma, we propose a new dimensionality reduction technique based on an information theoretic measure for difference of distribution. It takes the class labels into consideration and still it does not, have restriction on number of dimensions after reduction. Improvement of classification performance has been confirmed experimentally.
