In 2006 and 2007, there was a big outbreak of the Ussur Brown Katydid, Paratlanticus ussurriensis in the central part of Korea attacking some orchard trees. Until 2000, the katydid had not been regarded as an agricultural pest because they were distributed widely in Korea with low population density and their habitats were confined mainly to hillsides of forested areas. The fact that katydid attacked orchard trees with a higher population density seemed to be related to a change in feeding environment. And the shift of their habitats from oak woodlands to commercial orchards was thought to be related to the nutritional contents of their feed. In an attempt to understand these relationships, we conducted an ecological study of the affected areas. When the katydids changed their habitats in early May of 2008 and 2009, they shifted their host plants from oak trees to peach trees. The habitat shift was closely related to the nitrogen (N) content of the host plant leaves. When katydid moved to the hillside adjacent to orchard farm, N content of oak tree leaves decreased dramatically from 5.3% to 2.2%. At that time N content of peach tree leaves were higher than the 2.2% of oak leaves, showing 3.5~5.0%. This range of N content of peach tree leaves has been consistent until late June. And feed preference analysis carried out in the laboratory showed that katydid prefered peach tree leaves to peach fruit to oak tree leaves.

In this study, the physicochemical and sensory characteristics of jellies prepared with various types and amounts of garlic were investigated; jellies with dried garlic powder (0.5%, 1%, 1.5%, 2%), jellies with $50^{\circ}$ brix fresh garlic extract (0.5%, 1%, 1.5%, 2%), jellies with $15^{\circ}$ brix black garlic extract (5%, 10%, 15%, 20%). The total polyphenols, flavonoids and crude protein contents of the black garlic extract were similar to those of the fresh garlic extract. The ability of the black garlic extract to scavenge 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) and 2,2'-azinobis (3-ethylbenzthiazoline-6 -sulfonate) (ABTS) radicals were significantly (p<0.01) higher than those of the fresh garlic extract. The Hunter b values decreased as the amount of added garlic increased. In addition, the hardness and gel strength of texture also decreased as the amount of added garlic increased. The flavor preference of jellies prepared with the dried garlic powder (1% and 1.5%) was significantly lower compared to normal jelly (p<0.05). Jelly prepared with 20% black garlic extract showed the highest texture preference of all the tested jellies (p<0.05). There were no significant differences in color, taste and overall preference between normal jelly and garlic jellies.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the preference of haircut according to demographic factors such as age, education, marital status, occupation, monthly income, and residence in order to contribute to the establishment of hair trends of Korean women living in the 4th industrial age. Respectively. After the questionnaire was distributed, 305 questionnaires were analyzed statistically. According to the results of the questionnaire survey, it was found that the higher the age group was, the higher the gradation pattern was, and the difference was statistically different according to the demographic characteristics (p<0.05). By analyzing the shapes and differences of female haircuts according to these demographic characteristics, we will contribute to the establishment of sophisticated and innovative hair trends of Korean women living in the era of the fourth industrial revolution. Through this study, we can find the most ideal hairstyle for Korean women and it will be a starting point for development of various new and creative hairstyles. It is also used as basic data for hairdressing education and it will be actively used as an objective index that can express women 's personality clearly.

Purpose - This study's objective is to analyze the content of the communications between users and producers based on the construal level theory. User generated content refers to content created in an online-based service where users and producers communicate interactively with each other. In a user generated content platform, the messages sent and received between the many players, the users and producers who use the content, may be analyzed at the psychological level based on construal level theory. Research design, data, and methodology - This study gathered user and producer participation through a snow-bowling sampling method. The data analyzed includes 125 video clips and 2,912 comments. The period of the data collection was from September 2014 to December 2014. The collected data was analyzed using a t-test and two-way ANOVA. Results - This study obtained the following research results. First, users who were a short social distance from producers responded to user participatory activities stated in concrete language rather than abstract language. In contrast, users who were at a longer social distance from producers tended to respond to the content requesting user participation through abstract language. Second, if users and producers were at a short social distance from each other, user preference increased more when a producer response to user participation was expressed concretely rather than when it was expressed abstractly. In contrast, if the users were at a longer social distance, users' preferences increased more when producer response was expressed abstractly rather than when it was expressed concretely. Conclusion - This study found that the effect of suitability, in which the social distance and the content were in congruence at the construal level, could be observed. Therefore, based on this, academic and practical implications were drawn. The three main insights of the study are as follows. First, firms can use psychological factors to analyze the message content of users in their distribution platforms. This study reveals managerial implications for marketing managers who want to take make use of this analysis of user and producer communications. This study indicates that the main factors include the concrete and abstract scores and social distance between users and producers. Second, we also provide the strategic guidelines to maximizing user preferences and other outcomes. The main dependent variable in this study is the user preference shift; the variable increases through the congruence effect; and the construal level is determined by the social distance between the users and producers and the type of producer response. The outcomes here from users can be utilized to develop several systemic strategies. One process to use the outcomes could be: (1) firms could measure the users and producers social distance; (2) calculate the concreteness or abstractness of the messages; and, (3) predict the user preference outcomes by the congruence between user and producer social distance and the abstractness or concreteness of the message content.

The purpose of the university library's reading room is to provide a space for reading books. However, with the recent increase in use as a personal learning space, discussions have been made on spaces in university libraries. The ultimate goal of this study is to analyze the utilization status of reading rooms in university libraries that exist to support students' learning activities, and then to derive preference factors according to spatial characteristics of each room. For this purpose, we selected "J" University as a research target. The log data was collected and analyzed for one year from various reading rooms in "J" University. Based on 218,939 cases generated from 40,753 users, usage patterns were analyzed according to period and space. Through the analysis results, preference factors for reading room were derived. In addition, the considerations for improving space utilization were proposed. The results of the study can be used in the future to improve space arrangement and space utilization in reading rooms of university libraries.

When the cost-benefit analysis is applied for social discount rate(SDR), the choice of SDR to be used in analysis is critical. One of the important issues when public investment project evaluate what is the SDR theory, so there have studied about SDR and no exact answer it so far. In this study, there are three of SDR theories that be estimated social time preference rate, social investment returns and the weighted average method from 1990s, 2000 to 2003 and 2004 to 2008.. First, social time preference method computes consumer's interest rate and the model of Pearce and Ulph(1999). Second, social investment returns method computes private returns of capital. Third, the weighted average method computes the model of Squire, L., Herman G. van der Tak(1975) and private consumption expense and the private investment expense. SDR is estimated in the rage between 2.4% and 3.9% from 2004 to 2008. It is not appropriate that the interest rate was unstable. But it is consider for social equity from present to future generations. Considering this things, downward need to the value of current SDR 5.5%.

The purpose of this study is to understand the perception of fishery products and processed food of marine products in college students through empirical analysis. 446 questionnaires were used in the analysis. As a result of the empirical analysis, the frequency of consumption of aquatic food was 2~3 times a week, the place of intake was good for taste of home and aquatic foods, respectively. Purchase motifs of processed fish products are easy, the frequency of ingestion is 3 to 4 times a week, the criteria for selection were always consumed, and the taste was considered to be high when purchased. The perception of nutrition and necessity of consumption of aquatic foods was high and radioactivity was low. 133 male students (57.8%) and 98 female students (45.4%) were aware of the aquatic traceability system. The college students generally has a high preference for the taste of marine products and high frequency of consumption, and they recognized that nutritional excellence and necessity were positive. The marketing strategy should be developed by developing proper product considering the age level and sex of consumers. The limitation is that they are college students in Busan and Gyeongsang provinces and coastal areas.
