The old age officially means time when Health is weakened. To complete the social security against the social risks it is on the one hand necessary to provide an elaborate system of coordination in the field of social security. It should be pursued on law as well as policy. Social security benefits should be comparatively analysed to have implications for the national legislation.

WIn Korea, the rapid rise of elderly population and dementia prevalence resulting from the unprecedently rapid aging in the world is being emerged as a serious social issue. Caring the elderly with dementia is a different way from a general life and is a world which new cultural existential relationships are interlaced from the relationship viewpoint. From this aspect, the psychological matter of family caring a demented elderly needs to be studied for existential understanding in depth and fundamentally. This study focused on in-depth understanding and description of the stress phenomena experienced by family caregivers with a demented elderly based on Giorgi's method among phenomenological research methods and using existential group counseling techniques. Total 8 sessions of existential group counseling were conducted. This study drew out the outcomes(emotional stress, psychosocial stress, time-dependent stress) of participants' self-awareness experiences by applying 4 steps of Giorgi's phenomenological research methodology based on the Existential Philosophy to participant's intensive statements about stress of family caring a demented elderly drawn out of the existential group counselling sessions. It is hoped that understanding the pain of the supporters who cannot express their own pains through the research results and their self-help group counseling activities will become active, contributing to the health of our society which is about to enter post-aged society.

This paper aims to describe the rapid growth of the one-person households in terms of the socio-economic demographic perspectives during the period of 1995-2005 and to analyze the spatial distribution patterns based on different characteristics of one-person households. The increase in the divorce ratio in the middle-aged, the growth of unmarried people the young generation, and the increase of life expectancy in the old generation are explanatory factors for the rise and diversification of one-person households in Korea. The rapid increase of one-person households is accompanied by a diversification in their age, gender, marital status, education level. Uneven distribution of one-person households depends on their age, level of education and dwelling type. Highly educated young adults residing in their own apartment are generally concentrated in major cities, whereas senior citizen with their own single house who lives alone are mostly in rural area. One-person households of the highly educated young adults are significantly polarized in the light of their the living standards. In particular, metropolitan area or big cities are mixed with those who have their own apartment and are financially capacity and with those who rent in a detached single house. As such, one-person households have considerably heterogeneous characteristics. Therefore, each local government will face different economic and social problems based on which group of one-person households are increasing and where they are concentrated in. To this extent, the local government should have differentiated welfare policy according to its own respect.

The purpose of this study is to clarify the reason of the change of production-and-marketing system and of the regional division. The data for this study were collected by administering interviews with people engaging in hemp fabric industry: namely, craftsmen and managers in the production and marketing of "hemp fabric" handcraft. The summary of this study is as follows: First, the hemp fabric industry is a main subsidiary business of agriculture in Andong. The process of making hemp fabric heavily depends on manual labor. The process is divided into five stages: namely, cultivating hemp, pre-reeling, reeling, weaving, and colouring. Second, Andong "hemp fabric" handicrafts industry had been continuously growth until the late 1960s. During the period of Japan colonization, it was under boom condition: while the other traditional fabric industries were declined. In the 1970s, the decrease of the demand of hemp fabric was the result of mass production of substitute goods on factory system: while, in the 1980s, the growth of per capital income play an important role in bringing about the increased demand of hemp fabric. Third, in the 1980s. production-and-marketing system was changed as the result of the effort to improve the quality and the process, the advanced age of craftsmen, and the weak function of existing marketing systems. The social division of labor within the district is well developed between cultivating hemp, reeling and weaving. The social division of labor is also found in the partly process of handcratfs, and between the production and marketing. The social division of labor between production and marketing is not strongly developed to establish a reliable enterprise that develops a new product and opens a new market. Fourth, the spatial boundary of the production of hemp fabric handcrafts becomes limited into a special region based on the regional specialization of hemp cultivating and the differentiation of utilization of labor.

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are continuously produced at a high rate as a by-product of aerobic metabolism. Several lines of evidence provided that ROS appears to cause to develop aging and various diseases. High level of hyaluronic acid with decreased molecular weight has been detected in patients with inflammatory diseases including rheumatoid arthritis. In this study, we have conducted to investigate the antioxidant and hyaluronidase inhibitory activities of Prunus persica Batsch var. davidiana Maximowicz in order to screen the bioactive substances which can be developed as possible anti-inflammatory agents. Among the extracts of Prunus persica Batsch var. davidiana Maximowicz, EtOAc extract exhibited the strongest effect on antioxidant experiment such as DPPH, Ferric- Thiocyanate and Rancimat. Also, EtOAc extract showed a potent hyaluronidase inhibitory activity.

홍수로 인한 인적 물적 피해는 국가 및 지방자치단체의 치수방재노력에도 불구하고 매년 끊이지 않고 발생하고 있다. 다행히 인명피해의 경우 1970, 80년대 연간 300명 규모에서 2000년대에는 150명 가량으로 줄고 있으나, 재산상의 피해는 매년 증가하고 있는 실정이다. 또한 과거 자연재난에 의한 홍수피해에 기후변화라는 외부요인이 추가적으로 발생하고 있는 실정이며, 국가 경제 발전 및 노령화 사회로 인한 홍수취약인구 증가로 좀 더 적극적인 방재대책이 필요할 것으로 판단된다. 이러한 방재대책 등의 국가정책 수립을 위해서는 장래의 홍수피해 예측이 무엇보다 필요하게 되는데, 현재까지는 홍수피해의 빈도분석 등을 통해 이러한 예측이 이루어지고 있다. 그러나 기후변화라는 외생변수는 과거 자료의 확률적 특성을 마비시켜 이러한 방법론들은 효용성을 잃게될 것으로 전망된다. 홍수피해액을 산정하는 방법은 일반적으로 2005년 이후 하천설계기준에서 채택하고 있는 다차원법을 많이 사용하고 있는데, 이 방법은 침수구역의 물리적 피해를 고려할 수 있어 비교적 정확한 홍수피해액을 산정할 수 있는 것으로 알려져 왔다. 그러나 이 방법을 적용하기 위해서는 정확한 침수심 산정이 무엇보다 필요하게 되는데, 이를 위해서는 지리정보체계(GIS)와 수리모형의 연계가 필수적이다. 따라서 이 방법은 주로 중소유역단위의 취수사업에 적용되어 왔다. 그러나 정책결정에 필요한 대규모유역 또는 지자체단위의 피해비용 산정에의 적용은 한계를 갖게 된다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 향후 기후변화 시나리오에 적용이 가능하도록 과거 홍수피해자료와 호우사상의 강우특성을 중심으로 양자간의 히스토그램 분석을 실시하였다. 또한 실제 홍수피해 조사자료는 대부분 지방자치단체별로 조사가 되고 있는 실정이므로 본 연구에서도 행정구역별로 분석을 수행하였다. 분석 결과 지자체별 전체 피해액은 발생횟수가 높은 중규모 호우사상으로 인한 비중이 가장 높게 나타나고 있으며, 국가에서 집중해야할 치수대책 수립 대상 규모도 이를 중점적으로 고려하여야 할 것으로 판단된다.
