연안 환경은 기후 및 도시개발과 같은 자연·인공적 요인에 따라 끊임없이 변화한다. 근래에는 연안 도시 인구증가, 기후변화 등의 영향으로 인해 그 변화가 가속화되고 있으며, 특히 연안 침식 및 이에 따른 해안선 변화에 대한 심각성이 대두되고 있다. 연안 침식은 해류와 해안 유사의 마찰로 발생하는 유사이송 현상으로 야기되며, 해안 환경을 변화를 초래하며 인간사회에 경제적인 피해를 주기도 한다. 연안침식이 사회적인 문제로 부상했음에도 여전히 이에 대한 대중적 문제의식은 부족한 실정이다. 이는 대중매체를 통한 시각적인 노출이 가능한 다른 재해에 비해 재해의 물리적 과정에 대한 시각적인 관측이 어렵다는 배경이 있다고 판단된다. 더불어, 재해의 간접체험이 가능한 플랫폼이 부족하다는 점도 원인으로 여겨진다. 기술이 발달함에 따라 시뮬레이션을 통한 재해의 간접체험이 가능한 플랫폼이 개발되어왔으며, 이는 직접 경험하기 어려운 재해에 대해 위험성 인지 및 경각심 고취에 활용되어왔다. 본 연구에서는 수치해석 플랫폼인 Celeris Advent(Tavakkol and Lynett, 2017)를 기반으로 실시간 유사이송 해석이 가능한 인터랙티브 수치모형을 개발하여 문제를 개선하고자 하였다. GUI(Graphical User Interface)를 통해 조작이 가능한 Celeris Advent는 수치해석 결과를 실시간으로 가시화하며, 이에 대한 사용자 상호작용이 가능하다. 이를 기반으로 유사의 흐름에 대해 모의가 가능하도록 모형을 구성하여 실시간 사용자 입력 및 유사이송 물리현상 관측이 가능하도록 모형을 개발하였다. 수치모형 지배방정식은 2차원 천수방정식과 유사이송방정식을 양방향 결합하여 구성하였다. 개발된 모형의 정확성 평가를 위해 1차원 및 2차원 수리실험 데이터를 활용하여 수치실험을 수행하였으며, 전반적인 결과는 실험데이터와 잘 일치하였다.

In aged society, it is important to prevent older people from being disability needing long-term care. The purpose of this study is to develop a prediction model to discover high-risk groups who are likely to be beneficiaries of Long-Term Care Insurance. This study is a retrospective study using database of National Health Insurance Service (NHIS) collected in the past of the study subjects. The study subjects are 7,724,101, the population over 65 years of age registered for medical insurance. To develop the prediction model, we used logistic regression, decision tree, random forest, and multi-layer perceptron neural network. Finally, random forest was selected as the prediction model based on the performances of models obtained through internal and external validation. Random forest could predict about 90% of the older people in need of long-term care using DB without any information from the assessment of eligibility for long-term care. The findings might be useful in evidencebased health management for prevention services and can contribute to preemptively discovering those who need preventive services in older people.

Objectives: The study aimed to explore dental status and denture satisfaction in some rural elderly people. Methods: A total of 546 participants aged over 65 years was surveyed cross-sectionally. The subjects were surveyed with regard to their denture satisfaction by a structured questionnaire. The Wilcoxon or Kruskal-Wallis test was used for analysis. Results: As for respondents' satisfaction for dentures by the Likert scale of 5 score, aesthetic satisfaction (3.73) was highest, followed by general satisfaction (3.56) and masticatory functions satisfaction (3.45). In addition, the educational level, occupation, monthly income, the number of remaining teeth, use of denture variables have statistically significant difference in the denture satisfaction of those elderly people interviewed. Conclusions: The results showed that denture satisfaction in some rural elderly people was different in each categories. Consequently, providing tailor-made oral health education programs for the effective denture management of the elderly people should be needed in order to improve the quality of life of the aged.

This study was conducted to identify the effects of a comprehensive health care program for elderly living alone on blood pressure, fasting glucose, body composition, and depression at a senior welfare center in M city. The study employed a one-group, pre-posttest design. The comprehensive health care program lasted for three months, from March to June in 2015, and consisted of open health education, exercise class, health consulting and personal education, nutritional consultation, and a self-support group. The sample elements of this study were individuals over 65-years-old with hypertension or diabetes mellitus, living near a welfare center in M city. A total of 34 participants were initially selected, but five subjects who were attended less than five times were excluded; therefore, a total of 29 individuals were included. The t-test and Pearson's correlation were used to analyze the data. The characteristics of subjects were 19 male(65.52%) and 10 female(34.48%). The most common age was 70 (16 subjects;55.17%). Additionally, 14 subjects were suffering from hypertension and diabetes mellitus (48.27%), which were occupied in the largest number in this study. The average attendance number of health programs was 10.28 times(${\pm}4.17$). In this study of subjects were significantly lower systolic blood pressure(t=3.275, p=0.004), body weight(t=3.878, p=0.001), depression(t=3.308, p=0.004) compared to pre-test. As the elderly population has increased, the number of individuals living alone has also increased. Accordingly, then need for physical and psycho-social health programs targeting the elderly is greater.

The purpose of this study is to develope an appropriate method of the household projection in Korea. Given the data constraints, the headship rate method is selected. This method is known to be responsive to changes in demographic factors related to household formation. To project future headship rates, the method of net transition rates based on the average of two-census intervals was adopted for household heads ages 35 and over, while the log-linear formula was employed for those aged under 35. The future headship rate of Korean males shows a one-peak pattern with plateau, whereas that of Korean females marks a two-peak pattern. For a better projection of household in the future, one-person households should be treated more carefully, because they are mostly either young adults or the elderly whose activities of household formation and dissolution are very hard to forecast.

Parkinson's Disease (PD) is one of the three major old-age onset neurodegenerative diseases, its incidence rate is increasing worldwide as being an aging society. The number of PD patients has increased from 3 million in 1990 to 6.2 million in 2015 and is expected to increase to 12.4 million by 2040. Although many therapeutic candidates have been under development, but not yet been suggested the therapeutics of PD. For analyzing the trends and the status of convergence of technologies in the PD therapeutics, we classified into six sub-categories using global patent information and analyzed the level of technical competitiveness and technology convergence according to year, country, applicant, and technical description. These results can be used as a fundamental understanding for the current technical trend and the status of convergence of PD therapeutics, and establish the direction and strategy of R&D.
