  • Purpose: Currently, the beauty/health industry is playing a public role in implementing changes in various consumer markets. In this central role, there are workers who work in the beauty/health industry, and they play the role of mediators seeking health and beauty. Therefore, this study attempts to verify the experience of workers according to the change in the occupational field of the beauty/health industry with a grounded theory, and investigate a strategy for responding to future occupations. Method: In the selection of research participants in this study, a sample was extracted by adopting purposeful sampling, snowball sampling, which is one of the non‐probability of artificially sampling the subjects who can contribute to the development of the theory of the research. The research procedure went through five steps: selection of research questions, selection of research participants and data collection, analysis of data, interpretation of data, and report of research results. A theoretical sample was extracted through the procedures of open coding, axial coding, and selective coding to find key categories and classify them by type. Results: In the process of naming concepts and confirming the attributes and dimensions of categories through continuous questioning and comparative analysis based on data obtained from participants, 95 concepts, 37 subcategories, and 21 categories were identified. Accordingly, with regard to the attitude of acceptance and the search for change, there are four types in classification such as ‘innovators' who are active in change, the ‘early majority' who pursues economic benefits first, and the ‘late majority’ who do not ignore the innovation itself but join late, and ‘laggards', which ignore change or innovation itself. Conclusion: In terms of job acceptance attitude, there are diverse variables such as job satisfaction, career attitude, and acceptance intention. In this study, it was confirmed that participants' attitudes toward change in occupational field of beauty/health industry can be expressed in various ways. Through the results of this study, it is meaningful that this study may present basic information on strategies and methods to cope with changes of the beauty/health industry in the future.

  • Purpose: This study was carried out to evaluate the protective effects of Hypsizygus marmoreus extract against sodium dodecyl sulfate-induced atopic dermatitis-like skin lesions in vivo. Methods: Six-week-old NC/Nga mice were divided into a control group(Ctrl), atopic dermatitis induction group(ADIG), and H. marmoreus extract feeding group after atopic dermatitis induction(HTFG). After 3 weeks, cannabinoid receptors type 1(CB1) and type 2(CB2), and the orphan G protein-coupled receptor 55(GPR55) levels were observed to verify the modulation of the endocannabinoid system activity, whereas filaggrin and kallikrein-related peptidase(KLK) 7 expression in the stratum corneum and protease activated receptor(PAR)-2 expression in the interstitial space of epithelial tissue were observed to verify the inhibition of inflammation. Furthermore, phosphorylated extracellular signal-related kinase(p-ERK), phosphorylated mammalian target of rapamycin(p-mTOR), and E-cadherin levels were studied to verify microenvironmental regulation. Results: Expression of CB1, CB2, and GPR55 was significantly increased in HTFG as compared to that in ADIG. The positive reaction of filaggrin in the stratum corneum was significantly higher in HTFG than in ADIG. KLK7 and PAR-2 positivity in HTFG were significantly reduced as compared to those in ADIG. The p-ERK-positive and p-mTOR-positive reactions in HTFG were significantly reduced as compared to those in ADIG. Conclusion: H. marmoreus extract has a beneficial effect on the epithelium barrier function and can inhibit the progression of atopic dermatitis.

  • Purpose: This study was conducted to present differences, problems, and improvement measures by investigating and comparing the operation status of public and private vegetable gardens operated communal gardens by the initiating entity. Method: This study collected data from prior studies, literature, media, interview with public officials, garden managers, and users, and on-site survey and conducted variance analysis, frequency analysis, and cross analysis. Results: The study found that urban vegetable garden users are mostly men, married couples, and families, and people aged between 40s and 70s. People with higher educational background tended to use them more, and the occupation of the users included employees of commercial businesses, the self-employed, and housewives. In the public-private comparison of the management and operation, allowing and using vinyl mulching was found to be a problem. In the public-private comparison of environment and facilities, it was found that the environment was similar, but the facilities were different from each other in the private sector. In comparing users' perception, the public sector preferred the operation by local governments, while the private sector preferred the joint operation of the public and private sectors. The preferred area for sale was 17 to 33 square meters, and the inconvenient facilities were the toilets of the private sector. The activity satisfaction comparison showed that the effect of the use of urban gardens fields included being helpful for the production and sharing of safe agricultural products, health, and exercise, and helpful for mental health and providing exercise effects in terms of the health satisfaction. Conclusion: To sum up, urban agriculture is believed to spread the pluralistic value of agriculture, improve the urban environment, and help urban residents to utilize their leisure time and improve the quality of life.

  • Purpose: The purpose of this study is to discuss what structural type of policy network, that is, inter-organizational relations, is effective for overcoming health crisis such as coronavirus outbreak and a pandemic. Assuming that Korea has been relatively successful in protecting the spread of infection, we attempt to select two main Korean cases and compare the structural characteristics, such as centrality of policy networks for those cases. Method: It defines the scope of the network to major decision-making agencies, resource mobilization agencies, and other supporting agencies that officially participate in achieving the policy goals, and analyzes the urgency and importance of the policy goals, the public-good nature of policy, leading forces and authority, participants and their activities, etc. with qualitative data released by various experts and organizations including the government. Results: In the corona response system, the policy goal is very urgent and important, so the government is in charge of it, and the network has been highly concentrated around disease control and prevention institutions that have specialized expertise while destroying the ranks. In the treatment and vaccine development support system, reduced concentration characterizes public-private partnerships, where the private sector wants to actively participate due to the enormous opportunity to generate profits, while the private sector wants active leadership from the government due to the high risk of market failure. Conclusion: Korea's successful prevention of corona damage came from the role of the government, which effectively utilizes IT technology and medical resources and promotes public trust, leading to citizen participation. However, the symbolism of “the big government is back” is implied behind it. Now, at the time when the “big government” is about to return, it will not only expand the size and budget of the government as in the past, but will expand its character as a surveillance state and a health crisis state.

  • Purpose: To identify the changes in plants before, during, and after the wind farm construction in Mt. Hyeonjong, we investigated the number of plant species. And we studied the main characteristics of the distribution status in plants' family composition, plant life form analysis, Korean endemic plant, rare plant, specific plants by phytogeography, naturalized plant, and invasive alien plants. We compared this data to confirm the change before or after the wind farm construction. Method: We conducted the plants' form research 16times in five years. Before the wind farm construction(2014 and 2015), during the wind farm construction(2017 and 2018), and after the wind farm construction(2019). Plants' changes were analyzed based on the results obtained through field trips. According to the national standard plant list, we listed plant names and scientific names(the Korea national arboretum & the plant taxonomic society of Korea 2015). We arranged the classification groups according to the Engler system. Based on the created plants' list, the Korean endemic plant, rare plant, specific plants by phytogeography, naturalized plant, and invasive alien plants were extracted and analyzed. Results: The vascular plants decreased compared to before wind farm construction. Compositae was the most common category in plants' family composition. Korean endemic plants decreased from 3 species before the construction to 2 species after the construction. Rare plants were investigated 4 species of Vulnerable species(VU) and 2 species of Least Concerned species(LC). Specific plants by phytogeography were surveyed the same as a total of 13 species. Naturalized plants decreased from 33 species to 20 species and 26 species. Then, they increased again. Conclusion: As a result of this study, the total plant species, Korean endemic plant, and rare plant growing were reduced in the wind farm section in Mt. Hyeonjong. However, many Naturalized plants and 1 and 2 years old herbage appeared in the area. So we found out that ecological stability was not yet stable, and the disturbance was continuing. In this study, the investigation period after wind farm construction is one year, which is a short time to observe and analyze plants' succession

  • This dissertation aims at investigating the geographical conditions, facilities, programs and status of the shelter and safety facilities of nine selected forest kindergartens in Gyeongsangbuk-do Province in Korea. Based on the surveys of instructors and participating teachers of forest kindergartens, this study provides several suggestions for improving the shelter and safety facilities of forest kindergartens. The surveyed forest kindergartens had an average of 2.5 forest kindergarten instructors, while the number of participating children in the programs were gradually increasing. In 2017, an average of 9,621.5 children participated in the programs. In some forest kindergartens, the number of participants increased more than two times, three times in 2017 compared to 2016. As a result, this study suggests following three improvements for the shelter and safety facilities in forest kindergartens. First, the scope of use of the shelters need to be expanded. Emergency kit should be kept in the shelters and the shelters should be constructed as fire-and-quake proof buildings. The shelters need to have air-conditioning and heating so that children can take a rest or enjoy more activities in the shelters. Second, safety facilities need to be improved to have more secure escape routes, more CCTVs and the safety facilities monitoring should be strengthened. Sign board for the children should also be improved to provide more details of the surrounding risks with pictures. Third, safety management should also be improved. Instructors and participating teachers of forest kindergartens need to have more training opportunities to learn how to utilize the shelter and safety facilities and they need to be more responsible and capable in securing safety in the daily activities in forest kindergartens.

  • Beijing will host the 2022 Olympic Winter Games after the Summer Olympics in 2008. It is the first Win-ter Olympics for Beijing and the second capital city to host Olympic Games. The success of the Summer Olympics and expectations for the Winter Olympics will place higher demands to Beijing. Prevention and control to secure society will be the key to the success of the Games. Security of society is the momentous part in the whole process and the essence to ensure stability of society, especially under the changes of domestic and foreign circumstances, this work will face more severe challenges. Therefore, in order to en-sure the social stability of political and economic center in China during winter Olympic Games and the successful hosting, this study is trying to employ systematic reviews of past research literatures, summa-rize risk factors that might cause social problems during the Beijing Olympic Winter Games, classify, and then screen them. Finally it also puts forward corresponding prevention and control suggestions. The results show that there are many risk factors that may cause social problems in Beijing during the winter Olympics. The characteristics of risk factors and the types that may cause social problems were classified into public security risks, life risks, economic risks, ecological environment risks, political risks, cultural risks and public health risks. Due to the large time span of retrieval, some risk factors are still possible to occur, but they are under control. Therefore, in order to further ensure the pertinence of the research results, this paper screened and removed the summarized factors according to the actual situation and relevant policies. Finally, the risk factors were identified as public security, living, and public health. Public security risk factors include public opinion and cyberbully; Living risk factors are the ones affecting the life of vulnerable groups; Public health risk factor is pandemic outbreak. According to the results, this paper proposes the following prevention and control measures: 1. Strengthen the education and publicity of public security knowledge. The Chinese government has a relatively completed public security management system, so it should start with the education and publicity in the early stage to achieve the prevention of public opinion and cyberbully. 2. Establish service stations for vulnerable groups to ensure their normal life during the winter Olympics. 3. Create a real-name health monitoring mobile APP during the winter Olympics. Smart phones have already been popularized in China, and people can upload their personal health status anytime and anywhere through the APP, which can effectively assist the Chinese government on public health situation during the Beijing Olympic Winter Games.
