This study determines an acceptable balance between toy building block shape characteristics and ease of disinfection as a measure to prevent infection among children. Accordingly, an observation test was conducted with participants who were asked to disinfect three shape characteristics of prototype models with geometric, arched, and curved shapes separately, each variation also set “narrow” and “wide” finger contact areas for observation. The participants’ viewing duration and viewing order were recorded with an eye tracking device and then statistically analyzed. The results indicated that despite people’s ability or experience with disinfection, “curved and rounded shape characteristics” and “more open spaces” are key factors to reduce the disinfection time, while the contact area for fingers makes no significant differences on the efficiency of disinfection.

This paper aims to measure the effects of educational comics on scores and attitudes of Iranian 10th graders in the poetry classroom. The research was carried out according to mixed research methods with a pre/post-test design. The sample comprised of 131 students (both males and females) in four public schools located in the metropolitan city of Tehran, and the small province of Khorramabad, Iran. The intervention group consisted of 99 students and the control group consisted of 32 students. Analysis of the data was performed using t-Tests and a correlation test. Results showed that the academic achievement post-test scores of the students in the intervention group were significantly higher than the control group. It was also found that the post-test scores of the students in the experimental group were significantly higher than the control groups in terms of their positive attitude towards the poetry lesson. Results showed that teaching poetry through comics also had a positive effect on students’ ability to recall verses from the poetry.

　This research aims to explore the influence of the perceived price of typeface design on purchase intentions and awareness in regions where Chinese characters are used (Japan, China, and Taiwan). Experiment integrated 16 types of fonts and conducted a font-impression survey on 90 participants from each country and region using a frequency allocation survey. The results of experiment 1 were used to further analyze the high font sense through experiment 2. From the results of experiment, we identified the fonts representing the three regions. The perceived price experiment showed that (1) it can be concluded that each country and region hold observed for each font, (2) differences in the readability of fonts based on different age groups are not observed, (3) differences in the perceived price of fonts based on different age groups are observed, and (4) respondents from different regions feel high prices for certain experimental fonts.Therefore, future packaging applications can use these font designs for original and regional packaging in specific countries and regions.
