About the Lab

Professor Sun-Young Ko's research spans multiple interdisciplinary domains, with a primary focus on consumer behavior and decision-making in fashion and retail, particularly examining the psychological and rational aspects of unplanned (non-planned) purchases. Her work also extends into molecular genetics, particularly the identification and characterization of human leukocyte antigen (HLA) alleles, contributing to immunogenetic research. Additionally, she investigates diagnostic technologies for viral infections, such as influenza and RSV, evaluating rapid molecular testing systems. Her research integrates theoretical insights with practical applications in both consumer science and biomedical diagnostics.

비계획구매의 유형화에 관한 탐색적 연구 - 의류제품의 구매의사결정과정을 중심으로 -
고선영

현대사회에서 빈번하게 발생하는 비계획구매는 충동구매와 동의어로 사용됨으로서 미성숙하고 낭비적인 구매행위로 간주되어왔다. 본 연구는 사전 구매 계획의 여부가 그 구매행위의 정당성을 판가름하는 기준이 되어서는 안 되며, 비계획구매 상황에서도 적절한 의사결정과정을 거치게 되면 구매의 질은 향상될 수 있다는 것을 보이고자 하였다. 그리하여 비계획구매시 소비자들의 구매의사결정과정에 관한 자료를 수집하여 합리적인 비계획구매와 그렇지 않은 비계획구매, 즉 충동구매로 구 분하고 이 두 가지 비계획구매 유형과 구매 후 만족도와의 관계를 알아보았다. 의류제품을 대상으로 비계획 구매의사결정과정에 관한 자료를 요인분석한 결과 비계획구매는 합리적 비계획구매, 이성적 충동구매, 감정적 충동구매로 구분되었다. 합리적 비계획구매는 구매결정이 긍정적인 이성적, 감정적 평가에 근거하여 이루어졌으며 충동구매는 이성적, 감정적 평가 중 어느 하나가 불완전한 상태에서 구매가 발생하였다. 이성적 충동구매는 감정적인 평가가

SJR Q1Journal of Medical Virology

Recently, various molecular systems have been introduced for the detection of influenza viruses. Among these, the Simplexa Flu A/B and respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) test can provide results in approximately 2 hr. Nasopharyngeal swabs from 241 patients (influenza A, n = 81; influenza B, n = 80; influenza A and influenza B mixed, n = 1; influenza A and RSV A mixed, n = 2; and influenza and RSV negative, n = 77) were analyzed using the Simplexa Flu A/B and RSV test, a conventional reverse-trans

SJR Q2DiagnosticsOA

Background: Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) analysis is essential for diagnosing various disorders affecting the central nervous system (CNS). Traditionally, CSF cell count analysis is performed manually using a Neubauer chamber hemocytometer, which is labor-intensive and prone to subjective interpretation. Methods: In this study, we evaluated the analytical and clinical performance of the Microscanner C3, an automated cell counting system, for CSF analysis using artificially prepared samples and 150

Morphologic detection of blast cells in the cerebrospinal fluid at diagnosis of adult acute lymphoblastic leukemia appears to be associated with adverse prognosis

SJR Q2International Journal of Laboratory Hematology

INTRODUCTION: Appropriate treatment of central nervous system (CNS) involvement in adult acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is important for patient prognosis, but the diagnostic criteria of CNS involvement has not been established. METHODS: The significance of blast cells in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) at diagnosis was evaluated in 81 adults newly diagnosed with ALL. Patients with unequivocal morphologic evidence of lymphoblasts in the cytocentrifuged CSF slide were considered to have CNS inv

Type 44 panel showed an excellent performance in detecting ESBL-producing E. coli, Klebsiella spp., and P. mirabilis. When flagged as "Confirmed ESBL", no other confirmatory test was necessary to report as ESBL; however, "Possible ESBL" required a differential test for AmpC production.
