Background: In recent years, increasing numbers of adults and adolescents have opted to undergo tattoo and piercing procedures. Studies among adolescents with tattoo and piercing have usually explored the relationship between one factor and the decision to have tattoos and/or piercings. The aim of this study was to determine relationships between body cosmetic procedures and selfesteem, propensity for sensation seeking, and risk behaviours among adults.Materials and Methods: The subjects were divided into two groups, i.e., those with (n=429) and those without tattoos/piercings (n=237), and self-esteem, propensity for sensation seeking, and risk behaviour were compared between the two groups using self-report questionnaires. To analyse differences in self-esteem and the propensity for sensation seeking, general characteristics were statistically adjusted. In addition, general characteristics, self-esteem, and propensity for sensation seeking were statistically adjusted to determine differences in the propensity for risk behaviour between the two groups.Results: Significant differences were observed in age, marital status, income level, occupation, values or sensitivity to fashion, and educational level between the group with and that without tattoos/ piercings. There was no significant difference in self-esteem, whereas there were significant differences in the propensity for sensation seeking and risk behaviour between the two groups.Conclusions: Continuous attention to, and interest in, the increased incidence of tattooing and piercing are necessary, especially in terms of public interventions for health education and health promotion, as these forms of self-adornment are associated with behaviours that pose a risk to health.Significance for public healthThe age range and occupations of people who undergo tattoo procedures have diversified with their increasing popularity as cosmetic procedures. This study investigated general characteristics of adults with tattoos and piercings and determined relationships between these body cosmetic procedures and self-esteem, sensation seeking, and risk behaviour. This study provides useful information as to whether adults with tattoos and piercings might be appropriate target groups for public health education, and further identifies factors associated with adults who choose to have tattoos and piercings.

Two experiments were conducted to determine the digestibility of energy and Crude Protein (CP) in Korean Rice Wine Residues (RWR) using in vitro and in vivo approaches. In the in vitro experiment, 2-step and 3-step in vitro disappearance procedures were employed to determine in vitro Ileal Disappearance (IVID) and in vitro Total Tract Disappearance (IVTTD) of nutrients, respectively, in corn, a Soybean Meal-Wheat Mixture (SBMW), RWR and the experimental diets used in the in vivo experiment. In the in vivo experiment, 3 Jeju Island native pigs fitted with a T-cannula in the distal ileum with an initial mean body weight of 74.8±5.4 kg were individually housed in pens equipped with a feeder and a nipple drinker. A replicated 3×3 Latin square design was employed with 3 dietary treatments, 6 periods and 3 animals. Three experimental diets based on the corn and SBMW with a constant ratio (corn:SBMW = 3.06:1) were formulated to contain 0, 15 or 30% of RWR. All diets contained 0.5% chromic oxide as an indigestible index. Korean RWR had greater IVID of Dry Matter (DM) than corn and SBMW (p<0.05). The IVID of CP in RWR was less than that of corn and SBMW (p<0.05). The IVTTD of DM in RWR was greater than that of corn but less than that of SBMW (p<0.05). The IVID of CP linearly decreased as the inclusion rate of RWR increased (p<0.001). The digestible energy concentration (kcal/kg DM) in diets increased linearly with an increase in RWR in the diets (p = 0.001). The apparent and standardized ileal digestibility of CP in the diets showed a linear decrease (p<0.001) as the inclusion rate of RWR increased. In conclusion, Korean rice wine residues have a high digestible energy concentration and may be used in swine diets with attention to protein utilization.

The objective of this study is to explore the relationship between MBTI personality type and career attitude and career choice of cosmetology university students. Data were collected by self-administered questionnaires. Chi-square test and logistic regression analysis was conducted. The major findings of this study are as follows: In regard to career-related attitude, ISTJ type out of 16 MBTI is higher than other type on the positive attitude. In regard to the relationship of MBTI and career choice, ISTP, ISFP and ENFJ type is more prefer skin care than the other type. And INTP type is more prefer hair design and makeup. And also the psychological functional type and career choice, ST showed the preference on skin care, and SF preferred makeup field. Finally NT and NF psychological functional type showed the preference on hair design.
