Objectives : Because people have increasingly more interest in their quality of life, the anti-aging industry has grown worldwide. The purpose of this study is to suggest strategies for galvanizing the anti-aging industry in Korea. Methods : To accomplish this aim, we explored the definition, classification, problem and activating strategies of the anti-aging industry through a systematic review. Results : From the results, the following suggestions are given: planning a national strategy to galvanize the anti-aging industry, establishing an anti-aging research institute, developing a business model, developing an anti-aging cluster, statistics development and an information system related to anti-aging, training personnel, and legislation. Conclusions : The anti-aging industry has the potential to reduce health expenses through early intervention of diseases due to aging and through activation of the national economy by win-win growth of the industry related to aging. Therefore, understanding the anti-aging industry as well as political support is critical.

As the operating time in nuclear power plants (NPPs) increases, the integrity of nuclear components may be continually degraded due to aging effects of systems, structures and components. Recently, a number of NPPs are being operated beyond their design life to produce more electricity without shutting down. The critical issue in extending a lifetime is to maintain the level of safety during the extended operation period while satisfying the international regulatory standards. Therefore, it is beneficial to build a monitoring system to measure an aging status. In this paper, the Aging Monitor (AM) based on lots of aging database obtained from the operating plants and research results on the aging effects was developed to monitor, manage and evaluate the aging phenomena systematically and effectively in NPPs. The AM for the CANDU is divided into 6 modules: (1) Aging Alarm/Coloring Monitor, (2) Aging Database, (3) Aging Document, (4) Real-time Integrity Monitor, (5) Surveillance and Inspection Management System, and (6) Continued Operation and Periodic Safety Review (PSR) Safety Evaluation. The proposed system is expected to provide the integrity assessment for the major mechanical components of an NPP under concurrent working environments.

The $1^{st}$ National Plan for Aging Society with Low Fertility, which the Korean government announced in 2006, caused the gradual increase of R&D investment in order to prepare for an aging society in Korea. This study explores if the directions and strategies of R&D projects related to aging are suitable to improve the quality of life for elderly people and establish a sustainable aging society by analyzing the features of R&D investment from 2004 to 2010. The results show that most R&D projects conducted by departments focus on the development of assistive devices for the elderly to support everyday lives. The Korean government's R&D policy to prepare for an aging society is based on the narrow interpretation of Quality of Life (QoL) in an aging society that tries to resolve the socioeconomic problems of the elderly; however, the policies have ignored the independence of active elderly individuals and the social integration of the young and elderly generations. The research shows that a paradigm shift is required from a 'Senior' to 'Aging Society' because almost 1/3 of the Korean population is over 65 years old and the expansion of the research embraces from assistive technologies for the elderly to the design of social infrastructure such as transportation, education and work.

본 논문은 고령인력이 조직 혁신에 미치는 효과와 연령 다양성이 이러한 관계를 어떻게 조절하는지를 중심으로 살펴본다. 지식경영 기반 관점에 근거하여, 본 연구는 기업 특유적 지식과 조직 내외부 사회적 연결망 측면에서 고령인력이 일정 정도 조직 혁신에 기여할 수 있을 것으로 보았다. 반면, 고령인력 비중이 지속적으로 늘어나게 되면 새로운 지식 창출관점에서 한계를 가질 수 있으므로 조직 혁신에 미치는 긍정적 효과보다는 부정적 효과가 보다 강하게 나타날 것으로 예상하였다. 이에 더하여, 고령인력과 조직 혁신 간 비선형적 관계를 조절하는 요인으로 연령 다양성의 효과에 대해 살펴보았는데, 본 연구는 새로운 지식의 창출이라는 측면에서 연령 다양성이 고령인력과 조직 혁신 간 비선형 관계를 조절할 것으로 예측하였다. 실증 분석을 실시한 결과, 예측한대로 고령인력과 조직 혁신은 역 U자 관계를 가지고 있었으며, 연령 다양성은 이러한 역 U자 관계를 조절하는 역할을 하는 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 이론적 논의와 실증 결과는 고령인력이 조직 혁신에 미치는 다양한 효과들을 보다 다각적으로 검증하고 이러한 관계에 영향을 줄 수 있는 보다 다양한 요인들에 대한 탐색이 이루어져야 함을 보여준다.

This study reviews how an aging society can be connected to the urban-built environment, transportation system, infrastructure, and climate change topics from the perspective of policy and innovation in science and technology. Each topic was described with the aging society that we will encounter in the near future. Based on the expected discussions, we suggested how policy and technological innovations may interact with the new emerging society. Especially, digital transformation is expected to hyper-connect the aging society beyond physical barriers where numerous policies and innovations in science and technology shed light on the elderly population. We observe, however, that this cannot be achieved only by the government sector; rather, municipal governments and local communities, as well as private sectors, all together need to prepare for the new society of the aging population. Furthermore, an ideal approach is to accommodate multidisciplinary studies that can address the policy and technological innovations simultaneously and collectively. By doing so, we can minimize the negative impacts when an aging society approaches.

본 연구의 목적은 신문기사 분석을 통하여 한국 사회의 고령화 사회에 대한 인식과 대책을 분석하는 것이다. 이를 위하여 조선일보, 중앙일보, 경향신문, 한겨레신문 4개의 주요 일간지를 대상으로 고령화 사회에 대한 472건의 기사를 통하여 내용분석을 실시하였다. 분석 결과, 고령화 사회에 진입하면서 고령화 사회에 대한 관심이 지속적으로 증가하고 있는 것으로 나타났으며, 인식과 대책은 경제적인 영역을 중심으로 다루어지고 있음을 볼 수 있었다. 또한 우리 사회가 고령화 사회를 긍정적이고 중립적으로 바라보는 관점이 증가한 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 연구결과를 바탕으로 본 연구는 고령화 사회와 관련된 다양한 영역에 관심을 가질 필요가 있으며, 현실적인 문제 파악과 실제적인 욕구에 부합하는 대책이 마련되어져야 함을 제시하였다. 또한 앞으로는 우리 사회만이 갖는 특수한 상황이나 문제점에 주목하여 그에 대한 대책 논의와 연구도 함께 진행되어야 할 것이다.

The relationship between the discharge aging time and the superficial layer thickness of MgO thin film was investigated in an AC PDP. The discharge characteristics of an AC PDP with the various aging time were evaluated by discharge aging experiments. We find the presence of a superficial lay which is related to the discharge characteristics during aging process. The superficial layer of MgO thin film was observed by Transmission Electron Microscope (TEM). It was found that the superficial layer thickness of MgO was dependent on discharge aging time.

Aging is a complex series of multi-organ processes that occur in various organisms. As such, an in vivo study using an animal model of aging is necessary to define its exact mechanisms and identify anti-aging substances. Using Drosophila as an in vivo model system, we identified Crataegus pinnatifida extract (CPE) as a novel anti-aging substance. Regardless of sex, Drosophila treated with CPE showed a significantly increased lifespan compared to those without CPE. In this study, we also evaluated the involvement of CPE in aging-related biochemical pathways, including TOR, stem cell generation, and antioxidative effects, and found that the representative genes of each pathway were induced by CPE administration. CPE administration did not result in significant differences in fecundity, locomotion, feeding amount, or TAG level. These conclusions suggest that CPE is a good candidate as an anti-aging food substance capable of promoting a healthy lifespan.

Purpose: This study aims to examine the relationship between ego resilience, family resilience, and the perception of successful aging in nursing students; additionally, specific factors relating to the perception of successful aging were identified. Methods: The participants comprised 154 nursing students. Data were collected through the administration of self-reported questionnaires. Data analysis was then performed utilizing a t-test, an ANOVA, Pearson's correlation coefficients, and a multiple regression analysis. Results: Family resilience differed significantly based on the type of residence (p=.020) (i.e., living with grandparents (p=.048)). Perception of successful aging differed significantly based on grade (p<.001). The perception of successful aging showed a positive correlation relative to mode of communication and organizational pattern. The mode of communication accounted for 4.7% of perception of successful aging. Conclusion: The significance of the study on the importance of mode of communication was confirmed by identifying the effects of the perception of successful aging. Nursing students may actively cope with crises through communication; thus, successfully recognizing aging in order to lead a healthy life. Furthermore, having a high perception of successful aging while treating an increasing number of elderly patients at the clinical practice is believed to have a positive effect on patient care.
