Korea's average annual working hours are among the highest in the OECD. Such long-term work has been a factor that reduces the quality of life by discouraging workers' productivity and interrupting the compatibility of work and family, prompting the government to encourage flexible work systems, such as increasing part-time jobs, but a lack of quality part-time jobs. Part-time work enables flexible labor for workers, but at the same time, workers will involuntarily opt for part-time work as they have poor working conditions and negative social views. In this respect, the effect of the working type on an individual's life is expected to be different. In addition, for women, gender gaps exist in the labor market and the impact of part-time work on life satisfaction is expected to differ from men in terms of working and family alike. Using the data from the 2017 "Seoul Survey Urban Policy Indicator Survey", the ordered logistic regression model was used to analyze the cross-effect of working type and sex on satisfaction. The analysis of the study showed that when other factors were controlled, life satisfaction was high in the order of fulltime female, full-time male, part-time female, and part-time male. In addition, further analysis shows that the parttime female workers have the highest probability of choosing low life satisfaction, while the probability of choosing high life satisfaction is the lowest, and full-time male workers have the lowest probability of choosing low life satisfaction, while the highest probability of choosing high life satisfaction is the highest.

In this study, we analyzed public health data analysis using the hadoop-based spack in the cloud environment using the data of the Community Health Survey from 2012 to 2014, and the factors affecting the quality of life and quality of life. In the proposed paper, we constructed a cloud manager for parallel processing support using Hadoop - based Spack for open medical big data analysis. And we analyzed the factors affecting the "quality of life" of the individual among open medical big data quickly without restriction of hardware. The effects of public health data on health - related quality of life were classified into personal characteristics and community characteristics. And multiple-level regression analysis (ANOVA, t-test). As a result of the experiment, the factors affecting the quality of life were 73.8 points for men and 70.0 points for women, indicating that men had higher health - related quality of life than women.

Despite a recent increased nation's attention given to improving end-life care, we professionals need to be more critical and reflective on our realities surrounding hospice palliative care. The aim of this paper is to suggest that palliative care models can be used for patients/families in the last phase of life and examine whether they are appropriate for caring them in congruence with philosophy of hospice. The hospice experience model (HEM) of Eagan & Labyak and the developmental model of Byock are introduced and examined for their congruence with philosophy of hospice in applying to clinical practice. The HEM as a patient/family value-directed end of life care model emphasizes three principles; unique experience of patient/family, interactions/relationships among multiple dimensions of personhood and between family, and personal growth and development in the face of suffering through a life-completion. The developmental model stipulates dying as the last stage of living, a stage of life cycle in which patients/family may have growth through life-completion in multidimensional relationships of personhood. The model includes the developmental landmarks and tasks for life-completion as the framework to guide a means of professionals' to recognize their opportunity to grow. The landmarks and tasks include worldly and social affair, individual relationships, intrapersonal, and transcendent dimension. The models could work as appropriate palliative care models for patients/families in the last stage of living. The professionals need to be encouraged to apply the models to end of life care setting.

This study has two objectives. First, this study examines subjective well-being among elders that operationalize life satisfaction and aging anxiety, guided by life-course perspective. Second, it examines the relationship between subjective well-being and age-friendly environment factor structure among age-cohort groups. This study employs the stratified sampling method from 4,000 Seoul citizens. Main findings from the multivariate regression analyses include: (1) as age increases, aging anxiety levels appeared to be higher, while decreasing the life satisfaction. (2) a substantially larger variance of life satisfaction and aging anxiety was accounted for by demographic variables and age-friendly environments across age-cohort groups. (3) the influence of age-friendly environment factors such as neighborhood problems, accessibility to social activities, social services and parks on subjective well-being was different across age-cohort groups. This study discusses the policy and practical implications of the results.

This study examined the structural relationship among personal belief in a just world, presence of meaning in life, self-control, and aggression in college students. For this research, self-reported data from 427 college students were analyzed by gender, using structural equation modeling. Results indicated that personal belief in a just world predicted aggression regardless of gender. The mediating effect of self-control was non-significant among both women and men groups. The mediating effect of presence of meaning in life and self-control was significant among only women. It means that personal belief in a just world predicted presence of meaning in life and self-control, which consequently contributed to aggression among women. It is noteworthy that this study examined the concrete mechanism to reduce aggression by gender. Based on these findings, intervention strategies were discussed.

Objective : Migration can be a stressful process to people because they have to adjust a lot of things including habits, routine and cultural behavior. Also, Migrant can negatively impact on participation in daily meaningful occupations. Thus, the purpose of this research is to investigate whether participation in meaningful occupations after immigration and environmental factors impact the QOL in migrant women. Method : Migrant females who live in Australia were invited to participate in the study (n= 9). In this study, participation, environmental factors and QOL were measured using the questionnaire, which was developed by researchers. Purposive sampling was used to select the participants who were then asked to fill out a survey. Both quantitative data and qualitative data were collected. The SPSS program was used to process the quantitative data that was transcribed and coded. Result : Spearman's rank correlation coefficient shows that the total scale of QOL and the total scale of occupational engagement were significantly correlated at the 0.05 level. Conclusion : There was a significant relationship between quality of life and occupational engagements. Migrant women tend to have a lack of participation in meaning occupations thus, it seems to impact on their quality of life.

과학연구의 세계적 권위로 자리 잡은 노벨과학상이 제정된 지 100년이 넘었다. 그 동안 물리학, 화학, 생리의학상 세 분야에서 수백 명의 과학자들이 영예로운 상을 수상했으며, 지난 2001년 노벨재단은 이를 기념하기 위해 전세계 주요 도시를 순회하는 특별전시회를 기획했다. ‘창조성의 문화 : 개인적 차원 혹은 사회적 차원’을 주제로 한 이 전시회는 과학적 창조성의 발현이 개인의 특성뿐만 아니라 개개인이 태어나고 성장하는 사회∙문화적 여건에 의해 영향을 받는다는 강한 메시지를 전달하고자 했다. 이번호부터 게재될‘노벨과학상 수상자의 삶과 애환’은 뛰어난 연구 성과를 낸 과학자들이 살았던 사회∙문화적 맥락과 함께 그들의 삶을 소개하고자 한다.

최근 개인의 일과 생활이 조화롭게 균형을 유지하고 있는 상태를 나타내는 워라밸(Work and Life Balance)에 대한 사회적 관심이 커지고 있다. 즉, 과거에는 직장에서의 성과 창출을 통한 지위 향상에 관심을 가졌지만, 현재에는 직장과 개인적인 생활의 균형을 중요하게 생각하는 경향이 강해지고 있다. 이러한 사회 현상과 맞물려 많은 지방자치단체를 비롯한 공공기관은 물론 규모가 큰 민관기관에서도 삶의 질과 관련된 구성원들의 만족도 조사를 실시하고 있다. 지방자치단체의 다양한 지표를 나타내는 지방지표 중에 삶의 만족도 지표도 포함되어 있다. 본 연구는 지방자치단체 통합데이터베이스 및 e지방지표를 이용하여 지방자치단체에 속한 구성원들의 삶의 만족도에 영향을 미치는 지표를 분석하고자 한다.
