This study was conducted to find out the difference between aging anxiety and self-efficacy according to the general characteristics of the elderly in the community and to find out the correlation between aging anxiety and self-efficacy. From April 2019 to August 2019, 284 responses were used in the final analysis, focusing on senior citizens' health centers, welfare centers for senior citizens, health centers, and senior citizen centers in Gwangju and South Jeolla Province, and the survey was conducted using an aging anxiety scale and a self-efficacy scale. Studies have shown that aging anxiety has shown statistically significant differences in age, economic level, health condition, and present concern, and self-efficacy has shown statistically significant differences in age, academic background, religion, economic level and health status. The higher the age anxiety, the lower the self-efficacy. It is thought that it can be used to establish specific strategic measures for successful aging that can keep healthy for a long time and maintain a safe life.

The purpose of this study is to explore effective factors of elderly people's overall death anxiety and sub-dimensions of death anxiety. The subjects were 156 elderly people in S City, Gyeonggi-Do gathered by convenience sampling. This study collected data by interviewing the elderly who agreed to participate in the study and then analyzed it using SPSS 12.0 through descriptive statistics, the t-test, F-test, Sheffe-test, correlation analysis, and multiple regression. The respondents' overall death anxiety score was 2.61(±.47), and 'anxiety in the dying process'(2.94) had the highest points among sub-dimensions. Effective factors of overall level of death anxiety among the elderly were 'age' (β=-.18, p=.015), 'education' (β=-.16, p=.045), and 'economic status' (β=-.26, p=.003). In sub-dimensions, the elderly who were female, relatively young, and had low economic status showed high 'anxiety in the dying process'. As for 'anxiety over what will happen after one's death', the elderly who were relatively young, and had low economic status had high scores. Finally, on 'the loss of existence', the elderly who had poor relationships with their families had high scores.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the relationship between always being on call and the conflict factors between work and life balance among employees' in the IT relative industry. The results are as follows: always being on call factor perceived by employees' in the IT relative industry influences to conflict factor between work and life balance. Moreover, always being on call factor negatively effects on all factors of job insecurity which are impotent feeling and possibility of job loss. From the analysis of relation between job insecurity and conflict between life and work balance showed that the factor of impotent feeling influence on conflict between life and work balance while the factor of job loss does not. In addition, job insecurity(impotent feeling and possibility of job loss) partially mediated between always being on call and the conflict factors between work and life balance among employees' in the IT relative industry.

Numerical stability is studied based on numerics and mathematics. It is frequently observed in the region where velocity is zero. In that region, the Euler equation have numerous solutions and, thus, it is impossible to determine a unique solution with only governing equations. However, a unique solution can be determined by additional outer flow conditions or outer numerical discontinuity calculation since the information or a unique solution under undisturbed conditions is lost by disturbances. In this reason, the numerical scheme comsistent with Euler equations cannot remove shock instability completely.

This study examined the factors influencing aging anxiety among college students. 336 college students from universities in Seoul and Gyeonggi-Do were participated in the survey. Regression analyses confirmed that variables influencing 4 dimensions of aging anxiety are different. Quality of contact and attitude toward elderly predicted 'Fear of Old People' dimension. As for 'Psychological Concerns', death anxiety, attitude toward elderly and Quality of contact were influencing factors. Death anxiety, Quality of contact and sex was significant factors predicting. 'Physical/Appearance anxiety'. As for Fear of Losses, Death anxiety and attitude toward elderly affect. On the whole college students' aging anxiety tended to increase as having lower death anxiety, positive quality of contact, positive attitude towards elderly. And female has higher Physical/ Appearance anxiety than male. whereas results have not found a correlation between either knowledge of aging and frequency of contact with aging anxiety. Discussion focuses on the importance of the findings, limitations and future directions.

Objectives: The purpose of the study was to investigate the influencing factors on anxiety and depression before and after prosthetic treatment in the patients. Methods: A self-reported questionnaire was completed by 248 patients with tooth loss and over 20 years old. The questionnaire was carried out before and after oral examination and dental prosthetic treatment from July to December, 2013. The study instruments included Beck's anxiety inventory and self-rating depression scale by Zung. The questionnaire was adapted and modified from Kwon's anxiety inventory and Lee's depression scale. Results: While the anxiety level increased from 69.4% to 78.2% in the normal people, the depression level changed from 53.2% to 64.1% in the normal people. The gender variable had a positive effect on anxiety and depression while educational level had a negative effect on them. The dental fear was closely related to anxiety and depression before and after the prosthetic treatment. The entire body health perception showed a negative effect on anxiety and depression. The distrust towards the dentist had an influence on the anxiety and depression in the prosthetic patients. Conclusions: The influencing factors on anxiety and depression in the prosthetic patients included gender, dental fear, entire body perception, and distrust towards the dentist.

Traumatic brain injury(TBI) is generally considered to be a risk factor for psychiatric disorders, especially depression and anxiety disorder. Despite the anxiety disorders are frequent sequelae after traumatic brain injury, the patients have not been payed medical attention and treated by doctors properly. The factors of precipitating and sustaining the anxiety disorders after TBI are brain injury itself, and the patient's or caregiver's response to the disability after TBI. To diagnose and treat them effectively, the knowledge about the mechanisms of and symptoms after TBI have to be needed. Psychiatrist should be a supportive and good listener to the patients who are complaining anxiety symptoms and differentiate whether the psychiatric symptoms are due to TBI or not. Because the TBI patients are very sensitive to drug side effects, doctors have to be familiar with the side effects as well as the mechanisms of action of the common psychotropics.

The aim of this study was to identity the death anxiety of elderly people living alone, and the factors that affect their death anxiety. The subjects did not have an impaired cognitive function, and were from one Chungcheongnamdo 2 district in the elderly University. The subjects were 187 elderly people over the age of 65 living alone in the district. The character, communication, and data was collected from February, 2014 to 2 May, 2015 and analyzed using the SPSS 18 program. The death anxiety whole point of elderly people living alone was 2.94 (${\pm}0.32$); it was 3.06 (${\pm}0.32$) points according to the sub-region 'death process anxiety', 2.88 (${\pm}0.51$) points according to 'after-death anxiety', and 2.75 (${\pm}0.43$) points according to 'presence loss anxiety'. The factors affecting the death anxiety were economic status, depression, and spiritual wellbeing. Economic status (${\beta}=-.36$, p= .000) had the largest effect with an overall explanatory power of 20.3%. Therefore, for the death anxiety of elderly people living alone, life needs to be strengthened through social security systems with intervention programs to improve the quality of depression and spiritual wellbeing.
