Using alloying to promote the subtle rhombohedral phase transition in vanadium

Lee, Byeongchan,Rudd, Robert E,Klepeis, John E IOP Pub 2010 Journal of Physics, Condensed Matter Vol.22 No.46

<P>Recently it has been suggested theoretically and discovered experimentally that pressure can induce body-centered cubic vanadium to transition to a rhombohedral phase. Here we show using density functional theory calculations that alloying can affect the same transition, and in particular alloying can increase the stability of the rhombohedral phase, reducing the pressure needed to induce the transition. These calculations are full supercell calculations, as opposed to the virtual crystal approximation and other approximate schemes that neglect atomic relaxation and local bonding effects. These results suggest a way in which alloying provides a means of designing this class of exotic phases to be more robust.</P>

A Review of Men's Body Image Literature: What We Know, and Need to Know

Bradley, Linda Arthu,Rudd, Nancy,Reilly, Andy,Freson, Tim The Korean Society of Costume 2014 International journal of costume and fashion Vol.14 No.1

In the contemporary world, fashionable bodies are socially constructed in light of current idealized images. Media portrayal of such images can have negative health implications. This issue has long been problematic for women. Nowadays, men are subject to more scrutiny regarding their bodies, although male body image has been studied far less than female body image. In this position paper based on a review of the major studies that have been conducted on men and body image, we summarize the findings from these state-of-the-art studies that have been recently published in academic journals. Three themes related to male body image were extracted: socio-cultural ideals, masculinity, and minority men. This study adds to the literature I that it demonstrates that men experience and view their bodies differently from women, though some behaviors, such as disordered eating, are similar. Other behaviors, such as the drive for muscularity, are couched in the context of the social construction of gender and power. Most of the studies were done on white, heterosexual populations of young men, and nearly all used quantitative research methods. Little research has been conducted on ethnic and sexual minorities. We conclude with a discussion of what we need to know, and to that end, we suggest future avenues of research.

Beneath the Skin: A Cultural Comparison of cosmetic Surgery and Body Image among Korean and American Females

Lee, Seung-Hee,Rudd, Nancy A. The Costume Culture Association Department of Clot 1999 Fashion, industry and education Vol.2 No.1

The purpose of this study was to examine differences in body image and attitudes and behaviors regarding cosmetic surgery between Korean and Americans. Forty females in the U.S. and 40 in Korea participated in the study by being interviewed. As a result, while Koreans had positive attitudes toward cosmetic surgery, Americans had negative attitudes. Higher incidences of cosmetic surgery were found among Koreans than among Americans. Koreans with lower body image tended to have more tolerance toward cosmetic surgery. These results suggest that cosmetic surgery might be one of many ways to improve their self-esteem, Korean women with lower body image showed higher attitudes oo behaviors toward cosmetic surgery than Americans.

Offensive advertising in the fashion industry: Sexual objectification and ethical judgments of consumers

Su Yun Bae,Nancy Rudd,Anil Bilgihan 한국마케팅과학회 2015 Journal of Global Fashion Marketing Vol.6 No.3

Facebook pages of two selected companies were examined: Dolce & Gabbana (D&G) and American Apparel (AA). The current study compares two brands with different target markets, products, and price points, both of which are known for their provocative and controversial advertising campaigns. This study aims to understand consumers’ perceptions of the controversial marketing practices based on the two theories of sexual objectification and ethical judgments, using qualitative content analysis. Our findings confirm that sexual appeal is no longer a compelling factor in advertising for consumers. Consumers noted problems with branding strategies that have been used by AA, claiming such advertising harms their brand image. Considering the brand’s financial struggles and media criticism aimed at it, it would seem wise for AA to cease its inappropriate marketing campaigns and focus on ethical marketing claims. It is time for the company to consider its role in social responsibility from both the ideological and utilitarian visions of ethics to balance social responsibility and profitability.

Perceptions of European Athletes that Attend American Colleges and Universities for Elite Athletic Development and Higher Education Access

B. David Ridpath,Andrew Rudd,Sarah Stokowski-Macon 글로벌지식마케팅경영학회 2020 Journal of Global Sport Management Vol.5 No.1

This mixed-method study, using the theoretical construct of Digel, Burk and Fahrner’s Success Resources Model (2016), analyzed data gleaned from perceptions of European Union (EU) citizens who attended American colleges and universities to not only further their education, but to also compete in American intercollegiate athletics. This study further explored factors that influence perceptions of the disadvantages and advantages of both sport delivery systems. Fifty-one athletes participated in the quantitative study with nine athletes taking part in follow up qualitative interviews. The results demonstrate that European athletes believe media coverage, sport-environment, and facilities are the biggest advantages of the U.S. educationally based sports delivery system, while coaches, talent development, and levels of competition are the advantages of the European sports system. Results of this study can be used to enhance and/or change current sport development models to provide better access to elite development, mass participation, and educational opportunities in different worldwide sports development systems. Moreover, the findings can be insightful data for countries outside the United States considering expansion of elite athlete development in the educational space.

Transparency of sustainability disclosures among luxury and mass-market fashion brands

Iva Jestratijevic,Nancy A. Rudd,James Uanhoro 한국마케팅과학회 2020 Journal of Global Fashion Marketing Vol.11 No.2

The study explores the transparency status of sustainability disclosures among luxury and mass-market fashion brands, examining the possibilities that the type of information disclosed is selectively prioritized, and higher differences in supply chain disclosure exist among differently positioned retail brands. Fashion Transparency Index 2017 represents the first comprehensive index that ranked 100 of the most affluent fashion brands according to the levels of corporate and supply chain transparency. To explore the index rawdata study employs non-parametric methods, the Hodges- Lehmann median differences and the Probability of Superiority. For 100 brands, the average corporate and supply chain transparency joint score was just 19.6% (out of 100%). The type of information disclosed was selectively prioritized, and there was an 80% chance that brands were scored higher in corporate than in supply chain transparency. A comparison of the mass-market (n = 27) and luxury (n = 13) sub-sample revealed higher transparency of supply chain disclosures among mass-market brands. Benchmarking the transparency of sustainability disclosures serves as a point of reference against which current and future disclosures may be assessed. Consumers may use these findings to question current transparency status and facilitate further industry change. Retailers might use identified critical areas to re-negotiate priorities for future disclosure.

Body image 1 : A comparison of ideal beauty , body image , and appearance management behaviors among Korean and American women 한,미 여성의 이상적 미(美), 바디이미지와 외모행동에 관한 연구

Lee, Seung Hee,Kim, Jae Sook,Rudd, Nancy A. 한국의류학회 2001 한국의류학회지 Vol.25 No.5

이 연구의 목적은 사회·문화적 관점에서 한·미 여성의 이상적인 미(美), 바디이미지, 그리고 외모행동을 비교조사 하는 데 있다. Open-Ended Questions에 의한 연구 결과, 이상적인 미(美)로 미국여성이 '키크고 마른 신체 매력성'을 추구한 반면, 한국여성은 '내적인 미'와 '서구적인 신체 매력성'을 추구하는 것으로 나타났다. 이상적인 미(美)를 추구하기 위해 미국여성은 주로 신체의 하체부분, 한국여성은 얼굴부분을 많이 가꾸고 있는 것으로 나타났다. 외모행동으로는 한국여성은 화장이나 피부관리 등에, 미국여성은 excercise나 다이어트 등을 많이 하고 있었다. 사회·문화적 이상적인 미(美)에 비교해 볼 때 두 집단 모두 자신의 외모에 대해 만족하지 못하는 편으로 나타났다. 또한 두 나라 집단의 여성들은 각 나라마다 사회 문화적 이상적인 미가 각각 존재해야 함에도 불구하고 현재에는 이상적 미의 기준이 문화에 관계없이 동일한 편이라고 응답을 하였다. 본 연구에서는 사회·문화적 집단주의와 개인주의 개념을 토대로 이러한 연구결과들이 논의되어진다.
