Charge dynamics in polymeric materials after aged under ac electric field using the pulsed electroacoustic (PEA) technique is reported. The emphasis is placed on charge decay. The charge dynamics of the ac aged additive free low density polyethylene (LDPE) samples under dc bias differ from the sample without ac ageing, indicating changes brought in by ac ageing. It is believed that a slow decay rate of charge in the ac aged sample is related to the formation of deep traps in the material. However, chemical analysis by infrared spectroscope (FTIR) and Raman microscope reveals no significant chemical changes taken place in the bulk of the material after ac ageing. Further experiments on irradiated LDPE have revealed a similar behaviour, i.e. the charge decay is slower in irradiated samples than that of fresh sample. The findings presented clearly indicate that space charge measurement can be used as a diagnostic tool to monitor ageing in polymeric materials.

전 지구적으로 기대수명 증가와 과학 기술의 비약적인 발전은 인구 고령화와 함께 에이징에 대한 패러다임을 변화시켰고, 세계 최하위 저출산 국가인 한국은 인구 자연 감소 시대와 초고령 사회라는 복합적인 인구구조의 격변으로 새로운 국가 위기와 국정과제 해결에 직면하였다. 즉 노인 인구의 급증과 핵심노동인력의 급감으로 돌봄 수급의 심각한 불균형은 노후 삶의 질(Quality of Life) 향상, 인간 존엄성(Dignity) 보전, 자립 생활(Independent Living) 유지를 위하여 혁신적인 접근을 요구하고 있다. 이에 4차 산업의 혁신 기술이 접목된 스마트 에이징이 지속가능한 삶의 가치를 실현시킬 수단으로 급부상하여 주목받고 있으나 학술적 정의나 사회적 합의의 부재 속에 관련 논의가 이어지고 있다. 이에 본 고에서는 통합적 문헌고찰과 개념 분석의 접근을 활용하여 스마트 에이징의 개념과 그 모형을 구성하고자 한다. 먼저 에이징의 점증적인 패러다임 변화 속에 등장한 스마트 에이징의 개념과 속성을 살펴보았고, 그 구성요소인 에이징 인 플레이스(Aging in Place), 웰 에이징(Well Aging), 액티브 에이징(Active Ageing)를 도출하여 각 요소별 특징을 검토하였다. 스마트 에이징의 첫 구성요소인 에이징 인 플레이스는 친숙한 지역사회 내의 거주 연속성에 초점을 두고 주거기반의 자립 생활, 사회적 교류의 지속, 자기결정권의 존중, 잔존 능력의 최대한 활용 등을 촉진하는 에이징 친화적인 환경의 조성을 의미한다. 웰 에이징은 삶의 질을 향상시키고자 신체적·정신적·사회적·영성적·경제적 조화로움, 균형적인 삶, 주관적인 행복을 중시하는 웰빙이 강조되는 반면 액티브 에이징은 적극적인 사회활동의 참여와 경제적인 노동활동의 참가를 통한 능동적 삶을 지향한다. 이러한 구성요소를 토대로 스마트 에이징의 전제 조건으로서 주거보장, 소득보장, 의료보장, 돌봄보장, 참여보장을 제안하며, 이들 구성요소와 전제조건은 상호연관성을 지니며 뉴노멀 시대의 지속가능한 삶의 질에 일조할 것이다. 아울러 사용자 친화적인 스마트 에이징을 구현하기 위한 생태계 구축과 함께 에이지-테크(Age-Tech) 산업의 육성과 동향 파악이 뒤따라야 할 것이다.

Various housing measures are needed for the rapidly aging society of Korea. In particular, the welfare policy for the elderly has changed towards the community care. Taking this fact into consideration, it is necessary to have the establishment of a system that offers the elderly appropriate welfare services at their appropriate residence (ageing in place) for the effectiveness of the community care. In this aspect, there are a number of implications to Korea to study merits and demerits of the Health Facilities for the Aged (HFA) in Japan. The society of Japan has been rapidly aging since 1970, and Korea is to face the same situation. As for the data of this study, a total of 2,393 facilities (as of November 1999) mentioned in the annual report of the Japanese Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare were classified based on types of their establishment: (1) free-standing structures (603 facilities); (2) annexes to hospitals (981 facilities); (3) annexes to welfare facilities (511 facilities); and (4) annexes to clinics (298 facilities). Next, 239 facilities were selected through taking a sample of 10 percent from each type of the HFA mentioned above. This was done through the random sampling method with the computer program of MS EXCEL. The Implications of the results of analyses are as follows. First, most of the health facilities were planned with the scale that was larger than the scale of standard special nursing homes in terms of the total floor area. Precise equations that were to obtain precise results of the scale of the HFA and the appropriate number of residents were obtained through the method of the regression analysis. Korea and Japan have similarities in terms of culture, society and family relations; however, the two countries also have differences in terms of the application of laws on the establishment of houses, hospitals, and welfare facilities. As for planning the scale of the HFA, the realities of Korea should be considered. Second, as for the functional aspect of the HFA with a condition of returning home, the place before and after the HFA showed the pattern of 'from a residential place to a residential place' and 'from a hospital to a hospital.' This reveals a close correlation with the types of the HFAs and operational ways of the facilities. Its cause is considered to be the aspect of the operation and management of the HFA rather than the aspect of its function of providing services in association with medical and health facilities. Therefore, when intermediate welfare facilities are considered in Korea, it is strongly advised to consider the problem of annexes to other facilities and efficiency of sharing of the facilities in terms of its operation and management.

Current world population is rapidly ageing and the disabled population is expected to age seriously as well. The concern about the elderly and the disabled is increased largely not just the field of social welfare and service but the housing planning where the physical environment of everyday life is. Recently in Ireland, 'Universal Design Guideline for Homes' is established and proposed in public. It is considered as initial and special national policy for the socially venerable. The purpose of this research is to analyze the User Benefit Characteristics(UBC) of 'Universal Design Guideline for Homes in Ireland' and clearly organize the characteristics for comprehensive communication. The research subjects are 444 guidelines of 'Universal Design Guideline for Homes in Ireland.' The research is conducted by contents analysis technique, and each guideline is analyzed by the 4 main concepts of UBC- 'Behavioral Facilitation(BF)', 'Physiological Maintenance(PhM)', 'Perceptual Maintenance(PM)', 'Social Facilitation(SF).' As results, the User Benefit Characteristic of 'Universal Design Guideline for Homes in Ireland' is ordered by PhM>PM>BF>SF. The design guidelines are supposed to support ageing in place and sustainable living in the existing houses even though people are ageing or being disabled. 'Universal Design Guideline for Homes in Ireland' supports safe behavior and comfort cognition especially in indoor and surrounding outdoor environment. This research is significant for sharing the knowledge and comprehension of decreasing environmental stress of the elderly in specific, and could be utilized for developing new elderly housing in future.

The purpose of this study was to understand clothing condition of elderly men focusing on somatotype variation and satisfaction with ready-to-wear and to provide basic data in designing ready-to-wrar for the elderly men. The questionnaire method was used and one-to-one interviews were held for the elderly residents in Seoul, Deajon, Jonju, and Yeosu areas. The total of 275 questionnaires (from 148 elderly men in the 60's, 99 in the 70's and 28 in the 80's) were collected and used for statistics. SAS package was used for the statistics and the statistics were based on frequency, X2-test, ANOVA, Duncan's multifle range test. The results of the study were as follows; 1) Height (p< .05), weight (p< .001) and Rohrer index (p< .05) decreased significantly with ageing 2) The somatotypes of 75.6% were changed and the 70's 8t the 80's showed significantly (p< .05) higher changing rate compared to the 60's and more changes took place significantly (p< .001) with ageing. 3) The most preferred out wear was suit & tie and next was jumper or shirt. 4) For the mode of getting suit, the highest number 55.3%) purchased ready-to-wear, next (32.0%) was tailored and the least (12.7%) neither purchased nor tailored. The percentage of buying ready-to-wear significantly (p< .01) decreased with ageing. The main reason for getting tailor-made was not well fitting of ready-to-wear (20.7% out of 32.0%). And for the mode of getting suit, there was significant differance with income (p< .001) and pocket money (p< .01). 5) The most important factors in suit and shirt werefirst, size (fitness) and second, comfort in movement. 6) For the wearing feeling of suit, 55.3% showed discomfort. There was significant difference according to the age (p< .05) and pocket money (p< .05). The Discomfort increased with ageing and less pocket money. 7) 62.4% answered it uneasy to Pick out well fitting If comfortable suit. This showed their dissatisfaction with ready-to-wear. 8) As for the items of not well fitting, 64.4% answered in jacket, 60.8% in trousers, 46.0% in shirt. The above result shows that elderly men's somatotype changes as they age, suit is found uncomfortable and it's not easy for elders to pick out comfortable ready-to-wear. So, they seem to have a certain dissatisfaction in ready to wear. Therefore, there is a need for reorganization of size and developing pattern design according to measurement of elderly men.

The demand for a construction method capable of securing a safety environment and improving quality is increasing. There is a high risk of falling when working at a high place in an environment where it is difficult to secure visibility, such as an underground space, and there is a risk of falling if cement liquid waterproof materials are transferred to the top of the scaffold by manpower. In addition, when working on a high place in a poor environment, the quality uniformity of the upper part of the wall is deteriorated. In addition, as waterproof technicians gradually age and decrease, it is difficult to secure them, so it is urgent to prepare countermeasures against the shortage of waterproof technicians. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to develop cement liquid waterproof spouting construction equipment that can secure uniform quality of construction areas to prevent accidents and ensure safety of workers, improve work efficiency and quality due to improvement of work environment. The adhesion performance of the cement liquid waterproof material could be improved by about 20% in accordance with the use of the equipment.

본 연구에서는 유도등의 광원과 경년변화에 따른 휘도성능을 분석하기 위하여 사무실, 상가, 병원, 공장 등에 설치된 유도등을 발취하여 CCFL, LED광원별 경년변화에 따른 휘도성능을 분석하였다. 이는 유도등과 같은 전기적 특성을 갖는 소방제품은 설치된 곳의 주위온도나 습도, 먼지 등이 그 성능에 변화를 줄 수 있기 때문에 설치장소별로 발취하여 그 특성을 분석하였다. 실험결과, CCFL유도등은 대형, 중형, 소형 모두 '휘도비 2'정도의 값을 나타내었다. 기술기준 규정값이 '휘도비 9이하'인 점을 감안할 때 매우 양호한 값을 나타냈으며, 경년변화에 의한 휘도비 변화도 거의 없음을 확인할 수 있었다. LED유도등은 '휘도비 5'정도의 값을 나타냈으며, 이는 표시면의 빛이 균일하지 못함을 뜻한다. 또한 경년변화에 의한 휘도비 변화는 거의 없으나, 휘도비의 값은 LED유도등보다 크게 나타났다. 이는 시각적인 측면에서는 만족스럽지 못한 결과이다. 이를 개선하기 위해서는 LED광원의 빛 분산이 필요하며 휘도비 관련 규정을 강화할 필요가 있다.
