This study, in the perspective of universal design, newly suggests UD-WCAG 2013 for the evaluation of job information sites used by the silver generation. Using this, 13 senior clubs run by social welfare corporations chosen by the central and local government for the silver generation job information provision organizations to analyze the compliance status of web accessibility. The web compliance status analysis was done through a self-assessment tool from Korea Agency for Digital Opportunity and Promotion and UD-WCAG 2013. Although both analyses showed that there weren't differences according to region, the general level of compliance was shown as low. In the UD-WCAG 2013's 7 major categories the part about errors was shown providing appropriate solutions, but in the other parts it was shown that the all 13 websites were being run with insufficient consideration of the social and physical characteristics of the silver generation.

This paper aims to analyze the characteristics of healthcare REITs' performance and operation, and to examine their use for activating the silver industries in Korea. The results of this study are as follows. First, according to the results of analyzing healthcare REITs' performance, healthcare REITs outperformed average REITs and extended investment proportion compared to total REITs after 2007. This outperforming came from not only rapid growth of silver industries, but also REITs strategy using the structure of sale-and-leaseback and triple-net lease. Second, healthcare REITs use selection and concentration strategy in terms of asset sector, but use portfolio diversification strategy in terms of investment region. Third, according to the analysis results, healthcare REITs are to be useful for activating the silver industries in Korea. In this context, major implications are presented to use healthcare REITs effectively.

In this study, the laser sintering of inkjet-printed silver lines was evaluated. Silver-nanoparticle ink and a drop-ondemand (DOD) inkjet printer were used for printing on glass and polyethylene terephthalate (PET) substrates with various thicknesses. To sinter the printed silver nanoparticles, the silver layer printed on the transparent substrates was irradiated by focused CW laser beams that were incident normal to the substrates; the irradiation was carried out for various beam intensities and for various irradiation times. The electrical conductivity of the laser-sintered silver patterns was measured and compared with the conductivity of silver patterns sintered by using an oven. The increase in the temperature caused by laser irradiation was also calculated on the basis of the laser beam intensity, irradiation time, surface reflectivity, and thermophysical property of the substrate in order to estimate the increase in the electrical conductivity caused by laser sintering.

This study introduces trends on silver care implemented with the fourth industrial revolution technology, and discusses the use of digital technology for elderly health and rehabilitation by reviewing relevant literature to examine and present directions for future digital-based silver care commercialization. First, health smart home, which is a smart residential service available through digital technology or IT technology that supports independent living in your home, is available. Second, there are technical services using artificial intelligence(AI) and robots. Robots based on advanced intelligence can serve as an assistant for the health and rehabilitation of senior citizens by supporting services that enable the daily lives of senior, checking their health conditions, and high-quality medical care. For the commercialization of these silver care systems, information and services appropriate to the current situation, such as the physical ability and health status of the elderly, should be provided, and it would be desirable to gradually expand the use of essential technology to reflect the needs of the elderly in use so that the digital alienated.

The U-Healthcare era has evolved with the development of the Internet of things (IoT) in the early stages of being connected as a society. Already, many changes such as increased well-being and the extension of human life are becoming evident across cultures. Korea entered the growing group of aging societies in 2017, and its silver industry is expected to grow rapidly by adopting the IoT of a super-connected society. In particular, the senior shift phenomenon has resulted in increased interest in the promotion of the health and well-being of the emergent silver generation which, unlike the existing silver generation, is highly active and wields great economic power. This study conducted in-depth interviews to investigate the characteristics of the new silver generation, and to develop the design for a wearable serious game that intends to boost the interest of the elderly in exercise and fitness activities according to their personalized physical training regimes as prescribed by the U-Hospital service. The usage scenario of this wearable serious game for the 'U-silver generation' is derived from social necessity. Medical professionals can utilize this technology to conduct health examinations and to monitor the rehabilitation of senior patients. The elderly can also use this tool to request checkups or to interface with their healthcare providers. The wearable serious game is further aimed at mitigating concerns about the deterioration of the physical functions of the silver generation by applying personalized exercise prescriptions. The present investigation revealed that it is necessary to merge the on / off line community activities to meet the silver generation's daily needs for connection and friendship. Further, the sustainability of the serious game must be enhanced through the inculcation of a sense of accomplishment as a player rises through the levels of the game. The proposed wearable serious game is designed specifically for the silver generation that is inexperienced in using digital devices: simple game rules are applied to a familiar interface grounded on the gourmet travels preferred by the target players to increase usability.

잉크젯으로 인쇄된 실버 나노입자가 오븐, 레이저, 전기를 이용한 소결방법에 의해 소결되었다. 전도성 라인은 드롭 온 디맨드형(drop-on-demand) 잉크젯 프린터에 의해 유리 기판 위에 인쇄되었다. 레이저를 이용한 소결은 레이저 강도와 조사시간을 변화시키면서 실버나노입자를 소결하였고, 전기 소결은 인쇄된 라인에 정전류 방식을 이용하여 인가해주는 전류값을 변화시키면서 소결하였다. 소결방법에 따른 비저항변화, 단면적 변화, 미세구조변화를 관찰하였고 이 결과를 오븐 소결 결과와 비교하였다. 전기를 이용하여 소결하였을 경우 가장 낮은 비저항을 얻을 수 있었고, 은의 고유 비저항에 비하여 1.7배 큰 비저항을 얻었다.

The increased average life expectancy and an aging society mean a lot of change socially and economically. With the increased population of the new elderly generation, holding a desire to pursue high quality life, plans and marketing strategies towards this group have progressed in the clothing industry. Purchases of clothing will lead the silver clothing industry to a huge consumer market and silver clothing brands are expected to have a lot of potential to grow, especially in department stores in Korea. From now on, there is a need for attacking the market with distinct tactics and characteristics that will satisfy the elderly consumers emotionally. Psychological views towards the elderly generation must be changed and our unique environment state must be considered. With all that, there is also a strong need for researches and development technically and industrially.

현재 수열합성법으로 이용하여 1차원으로 수직 성장한 ZnO 나노와이어는 밴드 갭이 3.37ev로 큰 밴드 갭을 갖는 물질이며 밀도 조절이 매우 어려운 것으로 알려져 있다. ZnO 나노와이어는 기존의 리소그래피 기반을 둔 Top-Down 방식과 달리 자발적인 형성과정으로 높은 결정성을 가지게 되는데, 이는 ZnO 나노와이어가 큰 종횡비 와 전자친화도를 가지고 있어 높은 전계방출 효과를 기대하게 되는 부분이다. 본 연구에서는 실버를 열처리하여 형성된 실버 나노파티클을 마스킹층으로 사용하여 ZnO 나노와어의 밀도 조절을 하고자 하였다. 실버막을 AZO seed layer 기판 위에 증착한뒤 $200{\sim}600^{\circ}C$ 까지 열처리 후 수열합성법을 이용하여 ZnO nanowire를 성장하였다. 또한 전구체인 ZN(NO3)2${\cdot}$6H2O 와 HMT 에 각각 Ammonium chloride와 PEI를 첨가하였고, PEI 의 몰농도를 변화하여 성장된 ZnO 나노와이어의 구조적, 광학적 특성을 평가함으로서 전자소자 적용 가능성을 확인하였다.
