Seed dispersal supports community structure, maintains genetic connectivity across fragmented landscapes, and influences vegetation assemblages. In the Philippines, only two seed dispersal studies have compared different dispersal agents. We examined the seed dispersal patterns of water, wind, birds, and bats in the Caliraya Watershed, Philippines. We aimed to determine the floral species that were dispersed and how the forest characteristics influenced seed dispersal. By running seed rain traps and drift litter collection from March to June 2022, we analyzed 14,090 seeds in a privately owned study site within the watershed. Water did not exclusively disperse any species and acted as a secondary disperser. Seed density (seeds/trap) was significantly higher for bird-dispersed (n=166) and bat-dispersed (n=145) seeds than for wind-dispersed (n=79) seeds (One-way analysis of variance [ANOVA]: F_2,87=16.21, P<0.0001). Species number (species/trap) was significantly higher for bird-dispersed (n=3.7) and bat-dispersed (n=3.9) seeds than for wind-dispersed (n=0.2) seeds (One-way ANOVA: F_2,87 =16.67, P<0.0001). Birds dispersed more species because they are more diverse and access a wider variety of fruits, unlike bats. Birds and bats target different fruits and provide separate seed dispersal services. Generalized linear model analyses revealed that the number and basal area of fleshy fruit trees most strongly influenced the bird seed dispersal patterns. Therefore, we recommend a three-way approach to restoration efforts in the Caliraya Watershed: (1) ensure the presence of fleshy fruit trees in restoration zones, (2) assist the establishment of mid-successional and wind-dispersed trees, and (3) intensify the conservation efforts for both flora and faunal diversity.

Purpose: This study aimed to translate the Infertility Stigma Scale (ISS) into Korean and to evaluate its reliability and validity in the Korean context. Methods: Data were collected from 350 women who underwent in vitro fertilization (IVF). Data were analyzed using SPSS WIN 25.0 and AMOS 22.0. Content validity was analyzed using the item-level content validity index (I-CVI) and scale-level content validity index/averaging (S-CVI/Ave). The preliminary survey was conducted on 20 women who had experienced IVF at least once to check the level of understanding of the tool and the time required to fill out the questionnaire. Exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses were used to test construct validity. Additionally, hypothesis-testing construct validity were tested. Cronbach's α was used to assess the reliability. Results: The Korean-ISS (K-ISS) consists of 25 items, excluding two items from the original ISS questionnaire. Exploratory factor analysis identified four factors, which explained 75.6% of the total variance. The four distinct factors were infertility stigma with self-devaluation (56.8%), public stigma (8.1%), social withdrawal (6.5%), and family stigma (4.2%). In the confirmatory factor analysis, the 25 items in the four-factor structure were validated (χ² /df ≤ 3, RMSEA ≤ 10). The hypothesis-testing construct validity of K-ISS against FPI (r = .58~.71, p < .001) and FQI (r = - .49~- .65, p < .001) was tested and found to be significant. The internal consistency reliability of the K-ISS, assessed using Cronbach's α, was .97. Conclusion: The K-ISS has satisfactory construct validity and reliability; therefore, it can help minimize the negative impact of stigma by measuring the stigma associated with women experiencing infertility.

Due to the current seriousness of environmental pollution and the eco-friendly movement of the fashion industry, research on sustainable fashion design is being actively conducted. In this study, consumer perception of upcycling products, are divided into image, function, and meaning; and image is further divided into shape, color, and material. It was redefined as pattern, and image recognition was evaluated among men and women in their 20s and 30s, and men and women in their 40s and 50s used as subjects. First, factors that determine each image were extracted based on qualitative analysis of the precedent cases of upcycling bags, and quantitative analysis of the subjects was induced through a questionnaire. As a result of the analysis of evaluation items related to image association, the average frequency analysis of all subjects for each stimuli and the cognitive variance of the frequency analysis by generation by gender were found to be similar. However, awareness of some stimuli by generation showed a significant difference. Overall, in the three stimuli with high overall preference, common features, such as the basic box-shaped symmetrical structure, the monochromatic color of the Munsell system, solid and practical texture, and appropriate use of patterns were identified. In addition, it was confirmed that there was a difference with factors such as femininity, simplicity, touch, and splendor in the measurement factors. In conclusion, it is considered that the main significance of this study is that it excluded the recognition and meaning of upcycling products and explored the original design and image elements of products. Therefore, it is expected that this study will be used as a basic data for responding to the gender image of each generation as an alternative method of sustainable fashion design, and it will be an opportunity to expand the scope of the study to a detailed study beyond the biased topic.

PURPOSE. The objective of this study was to investigate how internal structures influence the overall and marginal accuracy of full arch preparations fabricated through additive manufacturing in different printing systems. MATERIALS AND METHODS. A full-arch preparation digital model was set up with three internal designs, including solid, hollow, and grid. These were printed using three different resin printers with nine models in each group. After scanning, each data was imported into the 3D data processing software together with the master cast, aligned and trimmed, and then put into the 3D data analysis software again to compare the overall and marginal deviation whose results are expressed using root mean square values and color maps. To evaluate the trueness of the resin model, the test data and reference data were compared, and the precision was evaluated by comparing the test data sets. Color maps were observed for qualitative analysis. Data were statistically analyzed by one-way analysis of variance and Bonferroni method was used for post hoc comparison (α = .05). RESULTS. The influence of different internal structures on the accuracy of 3D printed resin models varied significantly (P < .05). Solid and grid models showed better accuracy, while the hollow model exhibited poor accuracy. The color maps show that the resin models have a tendency to shrink inwards. CONCLUSION. The internal structure design influences the accuracy of the 3D printing model, and the effect varies in different printing systems. Irrespective of the kind of printing system, the printing accuracy of hollow model was observed to be worse than those of solid and grid models.

The aim of this study was to examine how customers perceive storytelling at a real local restaurant and to understand how consumption reflects their evaluation by understanding their values. Participants received information from a real local restaurant in the Gangneung area to examine the effects of storytelling and to evaluate their affective attitudes towards local restaurant stories, word-of-mouth intentions, and purchasing intentions using a seven-point Likert scale. A total of 310 consumers were used. A factor analysis was performed to identify consumption value characteristics and factor structure, which consisted economic value, emotional value, and epistemic value. To test whether local restaurant consumers could be classified into homogenous groups based on their consumption values, a three cluster solution was selected, and a Kmeans cluster analysis was performed. As a result, three groups were identified and labeled appropriate for their scores based on each of the consumption values; emotional value-oriented consumers to cluster 1, epistemic value-oriented consumers to cluster 2, and economic value-oriented consumers to cluster 3. An analysis of variance was used to examine the differences in the affective attitudes towards storytelling at the local restaurant, purchasing intentions, and word-of-mouth intentions across the three clusters. The epistemic value-oriented consumers had the highest score for all three variables. In contrast, economic value-oriented consumers had the lowest scores for the three variables. A regression analysis revealed that affective attitudes towards storytelling were significantly affected by these three consumption values. It also showed that positive affective attitudes towards storytelling were associated with higher purchasing intention and word-of-mouth. The significance of this study was to show how customers perceive storytelling at a real restaurant and reflect on their evaluation by understanding their consumption values. As a result, this study examined the potential power of storytelling as an effective marketing communication tool for local restaurants.

This study explored a method to enhance the drying process usability of local mangoes by producing foam-mat dried powder under varying drying temperatures (50, 60, 70℃) and foam thicknesses (3, 6, 9 mm). The drying process period ranged from 60 to 390 minutes based on the set conditions, with higher temperatures and thinner foams accelerating drying. Powder chromaticity (L^*,(L^*, a^*, and b^*) demonstrated a declining trend with increasing drying temperature and foam thickness, exhibiting notable variance in chroma values. The water absorption index varied significantly, between 3.08 to 4.24, under different drying conditions, although the water solubility index remained consistent across foam-dried samples. Powder moisture content ranged from 2.53% to 3.83%, with hygroscopicity escalating with temperature and foam thickness. Vitamin C structure was compromised during the hot air drying process, especially at temperatures above 60℃. Electronic nose analysis distinguished foam-dried powder from freeze-dried powder; however, a thicker foam yielded a scent profile closer to that of freeze-dried powder. The findings provide fundamental data on mango foam drying, which is expected to improve processing and storage tech for local mangoes.

Introduction: The importance of clinical skills training in traditional Korean medicine education is increasingly emphasized. Since the clinical skills tests are high-stakes tests that determine success in national licensing exams, it is essential to develop reliable multifaceted analysis methods for clinical skills tests in actual education settings. In this study, we applied the multifaceted validity evaluation methods to the evaluation results of the cardiopulmonary resuscitation module to confirm the applicability and effectiveness of the methods. Methods: In this study, we used internal consistency, factor analysis, generalizability theory G-study and D-study, ANOVA, Kendall's tau, descriptive statistics, and other statistical methods to analyze the multidimensional validity of a cardiopulmonary resuscitation test in clinical education settings over the past three years. Results: The factor analysis and internal consistency analysis showed that the evaluation rubric had an unstable structure and low concordance. The G-study showed that the error of the clinical skills assessment was large due to the evaluator and unexpected errors. The D-study showed that the variance error of the evaluator should be significantly reduced to validate the evaluation. The ANOVA and Kendall's tau confirmed that evaluator heterogeneity was a problem. Discussion and Conclusion: Clinical skills tests should be continuously evaluated and managed for validity in two steps of pre-production and actual implementation. This study has presented specific methods for analyzing the validity of clinical skills training and testing in actual education settings. This study would contribute to the foundation for competency-based evidence-based education in practical clinical training.

한국의 장은 콩을 발효시켜 만든 식품으로 대표적인 종류로는 고추장, 된장, 청국장, 간장이 있다. 본 연구에서는 콩 발효식품의 미생물 군집을 분석하고, 각 장류의 유형에 따른 미생물 군집 구조 차이에 영향을 미치는 미생물(biomarker)과 분포 차이를 비교하기 위해 총 200종의 장류 시료를 next-generation sequencing을 통해 16S rRNA 마이크로바이옴 분석을 수행하였다. Alpha-diversity 분석 결과 종 풍부도를 나타내는 지수 CHAO는 고추장과 청국장에서 분석에서 된장과 간장 그룹에 비해 유의미하게 높은 경향을 보였다 (p<0.001). 네 가지 장류의 미생물 분포 분석 결과 목(order) 수준에서 Bacillales가 고추장, 된장, 청국장 그룹에서 우세한 반면, 간장의 경우 Lactobacillales가 우세한 것으로 차이가 나타났다. LEfSe (Linear dis- criminant analysis Effect Size)분석을 통해 전통 장류의 과(family)와 종(species) 수준에서 바이오마커를 분석하였다. Leuconostocaceae, Thermoactinomycetaceae, Bacillaceae, Enterococcaceae가 과 수준에서 장 유형에 따른 미생물 군집 구조 차이에 큰 기여를 하는 바이오마커로 나타났으며, Bacillus subtilis, kroppenstedtia sanguinis, Bacillus licheniformis, Tetragenococcus halophilus가 종 수준에서 네 종류의 발효식품을 미생물학적으로 분류할 수 있는 가장 중요한 특징으로 나타났다. PERMANOVA (Permutational multivariate analysis of variance) 분석 결과 네 가지 장류는 미생물 군집 구조가 통계학적으로 유의미한 차이가 나타났으며 (p=0.001), 그 중 간장 그룹의 미생물 군집 구조가 가장 차이를 보였다. 본 연구의 결과는 한국 발효식품의 미생물학적 분포 특성과 장류 유형별 미생물 군집 구조차이에 영향을 미치는 미생물을 규명하였으며, 발효과정에 참여하는 미생물에 대한 지식을 넓히고 발효 콩 식품의 품질을 향상시키는 데 도움이 될 것으로 기대한다.

우리나라 특산식물인 매미꽃(Coreanomecon hylomeconoides Nakai) 집단의 유전적 다양성 및 구조를 조사하기 위해 8집단 224개체에 대한 ISSR(Inter Simple Sequence Repeat) 분석이 수행되었다. 총 8개의 ISSR 프라이머를 이용하여 50개의 증폭산물을 관찰하였으며 집단 수준에서의 유전적 다양성의 평균은 P (Percentage of polymorphic loci) = 47.3%, SI(Shannon's information index) = 0.218, h (Nei's genetic diversity) = 0.142로 다년생 초본류의 평균보다는 월등히 낮게 나타났다. 집단별로는 분포의 중심에 해당하는 산청(SI=0.233, h=0153), 광양(SI=0.263, h=0.171), 순천(SI=0.241, h=0.159) 집단이 남해(SI=0.183, h=0.116)나 광주(SI=0.181, h=0.121)의 변두리 집단보다는 비교적 높은 유전다양성을 유지하는 것으로 나타났다. AMOVA 분석 결과 전체 유전변이의 약 18%가 지역 간에 나머지 82%가 집단 내 개체간의 차이에 기인하는 것으로 나타났는데 이는 집단 간에 유전자 교류가 원활히 이루어지기 때문으로 판단된다. 유전적 거리를 이용한 UMGMA 유집분석과 Bayesian cluster 분석 결과, 매미꽃 집단은 동서 두 지역으로 구조화 되는 경향을 보여 주었는데 이는 집단의 지리적 분포 패턴의 영향인 것으로 추정할 수 있다. 본 연구 결과, 조사된 다른 집단보다 풍부한 개체수와 높은 유전 다양성을 유지하고 있는 지리산 및 백운산의 산청, 광양 집단들에 대한 적극적인 현지 내(in situ) 보전대책 수립이 요구된다.
