Our society is aging rapidly. In this super-aged society, the increase in healthcare costs are considered a national problem that undermines the sustainability of social security. Various services for healthcare for the elderly have been promoted to address this. However, most of them have focused on healthcare after the outbreak of chronic diseases and lack preventive healthcare. Most of the preventive healthcare projects are only pilots. In this paper, the current status of health care services for senior citizens at home and abroad was analyzed and based on this, the limitations and improvements were analyzed to propose the establishment of IoT-based Total Silver Care Center. IoT-based Total Silver Care Center may be conveniently monitored the health status of the elderly through various sensors, medical devices, and smart bands. And based on this, it can improve the quality of nursing services through time-saving and work efficiency of nursing providers. In addition, health care interventions may be provided in a timely manner if there is a change in the health status of users. And real-time imaging systems can help overcome mental difficulties.

The purpose of this study is to explain about the path effect through the structural equation model between the service experience, depression level, lifestyle and quality of life of middle-aged people for policy suggestions to improve the quality of life of middle-aged people. Using the 13th Korea Welfare Panel Study, SPSS were used for demographic analysis and analysis was carried out using AMOS to establish a structural equation model. The analysis showed that service experience, depression level, and lifestyle all had a direct and significant impact on quality of life, and that path coefficients between each path were all significant. This indicates the need for lifestyle-oriented management services for physical and mental health regardless of income level to improve the quality of life for middle-aged people, and there are implications of this study in providing a policy framework and suggestions that programs should be developed through research.

Recently, digital advertising has shifted towards delivering messages through short ads of less than 15 seconds, and on social media, ads need to convey the message within 5 seconds before consumers skip them. Although the length of advertisements has decreased, advancements in artificial intelligence algorithms and big data analysis have made it possible to deliver personalized messages that cater to consumers' interests. In this changing landscape, the importance of delivering tailored messages through short and efficient ads is increasing. In this study, we examined the effects of message framing as part of effective message delivery. Specifically, we examined the differences in the effects of two framings, "health" and "environment," for vegan products. The growing consumer interest in health and the environment has elevated the interest in vegan products, and the vegan market is expanding rapidly. Consumers purchase vegan products not only for personal health benefits but also due to their ethical responsibility towards the environment, which can be considered ethical consumption. Previous research has not shown the differences in the effects between health and environment message framings, and the research has been limited to vegan food products. This study investigates the differences in the effects of health and environment message framings using a dish soap product category. By identifying which advertising messages, either health or environment, are more effective in promoting vegan products, this study provides insights for companies to enhance their message framing strategies effectively.

코로나로 인해 비대면 생활이 지속되면서, 사람들은 실외 운동 및 만남 장소로 한강과 같이 탁 트인 야외를 찾고 있다. 이는 MZ 세대들의 건강과 몸매 가꾸기 등 자기관리에 대한 관심이 증가하는 트렌드와 시너지 효과를 내고 있다. 이러한 현상은 등산, 바디프로필, 필라테스, 헬스, 홈 트레이닝 등 운동에 대한 활동의 비약적 증가로 이어진다. 본 연구에서는 위의 두 가지 트렌드 흐름을 기반으로, 러닝을 시작하고 싶은 초보자들이 한강 공원에서 가볍게 시작할 수 있도록 하는 모바일 운동 앱인 'OnTheRiver'를 설계 및 구현하게 되었다.

This paper develops the argument that the 'Healthy Cities Approach' extends beyond the boundaries of officially designated Healthy Cities and suggests that signs of it are evident much more widely in efforts to promote health in the United Kingdom and in national policy. It draws on examples from Leeds, a major city in the north of England. In particular, it suggests that efforts to improve population health need to focus on the wider determinants and that this requires a collaborative response involving a range of different sectors and the participation of the community. Inequality is recognised as a major issue and the need to identify areas of deprivation and direct resources towards these is emphasised. Childhood poverty is referred to and the importance of breaking cycles of deprivation. The role of the school is seen as important in contributing to health generally and the compatibility between Healthy Cities and Health Promoting Schools is noted. Not only can Health Promoting Schools improve the health of young people themselves they can also develop the skills, awareness and motivation to improve the health of the community. Using child pedestrian injury as an example, the paper argues that problems and their cause should not be conceived narrowly. The Healthy Cities movement has taught us that the response, if it is to be effective, should focus on the wider determinants and be adapted to local circumstances. Instead of simply attempting to change behaviour through traditional health education we need to ensure that the environment is healthy in itself and supports healthy behaviour. To achieve this we need to develop awareness, skills and motivation among policy makers, professionals and the community. The 'New Health' education is proposed as a term to distinguish the type of health education which addresses these issues from more traditional forms.

최근, 유역 환경을 포함한 수문시스템을 보다 근본적으로 이해하기 위하여 순환적 인과관계를 가진 인간과 물환경시스템의 전체론적 이해의 필요성이 제기되었다. 더불어, 지속 가능한 유역관리를 위해서는 현재의 물환경시스템의 상태를 진단하고, 수자원 정책 및 유역관리 방안과 환경 변화에 따른 물환경시스템의 건강성을 평가하는 방법이 필요하다. 대상 시스템의 지속가능성을 평가하기 위하여 회복탄력성(Resilience) 개념이 도입됨에 따라 본 연구에서는 생태계서비스 개념을 활용하여 사회수문학적 회복탄력성을 정의하고 유역 시스템의 상태를 진단하고자 한다. 또한, 관측 기상 자료를 이용하여 기후변화가 사회수문학적 회복탄력성에 미치는 영향을 평가해보고자 한다. 이를 위해 기존의 하천 생태계서비스 지표 후보군을 수정 및 보완하여 새로운 지표군을 제시하였고, 경안천 유역을 대상으로 실제 유역의 상태를 평가할 수 있는 도구로서 해당 지표군을 적용하였다.

Purpose: The study aimed to identify plans to revitalize occupational health nursing at industrial worksites. Methods: First, a literature review was conducted to derive the questions. Next, we used the Delphi method with two rounds to obtain experts' opinions. The 15 expert participants were seven occupational health nurses and eight professors from nursing colleges. Results: The analysis of opinions indicated that occupational health nurses should be competent in clinical nursing care to perform health management and health promotion activities of workers. It is necessary to develop high-quality occupational nursing services that can prevent and manage occupational diseases and work-related illnesses. Moreover, an improved system for stable employment of these nurses should be implemented. Conclusion: This study confirmed that occupational health nursing is an independent and important area for improving workers' disease prevention and health promotion. It will provide basic data for initiating occupational health nursing and expanding the role of the occupational health nurses.
