Deficiency of collagen regeneration, denaturalization of elastic fibers, and promotion of reactive oxygen species formation are important factors for deterioration of skin function. They induce wrinckle formation and decrease skin elasticity. Vitamin C and its derivatives have been used as cosmetic ingredients for anti-aging effects but their chemical instability has been a major problem. In an attempt to develop a novel anti-aging agent with a improved stability and bioactivity, the anti-wrinkle effect of 3-O-cetyl-L-ascorbic acid (VCCE), a new vitamin C derivative, was investigated in this study. VCCE increased procollagen type-1 synthesis in a dose-dependent manner (149% at 0.002%) in cultured fiboroblasts. Its potent anti-wrinkle effect was confirmed in vivo by analyzing human skin replica by a visiometer and the PRIMOS system. It did not cause any irritation in human patch test. Taken together, our findings suggest that the VCCE has potential benefits applicable to cosmetics for anti-wrinkle effects.

On global interconnectivity, the activation of real-time and worldwide contents will permeate and impact all aspects of day-to-day life well throughout this century. In managing contents and models, we too will see the impact of this rapidly changing environment. The real time availability of contents pertaining to a companys supply chain through means of the Internet and mobile networks(e.g., the IMT-2000) will necessitate a change in decision-making processes for effective management of contents and models. To increase the availability of many contents and models, a management system should have adaptive function in proving adequate content and model for companies. In the respect of management of contents and models, this paper discusses a production mechanism of meta-knowledge for effectively managing contents and models. Through two experimental analyses with the production mechanism, it is proven that the system enabling adaptive contents and models provision goes beyond existing ones in view of efficiency of management of contents and models in the wire and wireless networks.

The purpose of this study was to identify the differences and relations among burden, coping behavior and ego-resilience on caregivers of stroke patients. Participants were 74 caregivers of stroke patients who were hospitalized in the department of Neurosurgery and Neurology. Data was collected from March, 30 to September, 30 of 2014. Result: Caregivers burden was 3.66, coping behavior and ego-resilience were 2.67 and 3.10. Caregivers burden had significant differences according to caregivers gender, age, relationship with the patient, education level, marital state, and subjectively perceived physical condition. Coping behavior had significant differences according to martial state and caregiving hours, ego-resilience had no variable which showed significant differences. There is little correlation among these three variables. In conclusion, the burden levels are high in caregivers. It requires measures for reducing the caregivers burden. Further replication studies to identify the relation among these three variables are needed as well.

기후변화의 영향으로 자연재해 현상이 더욱 심각해지고 있다. 기상청에 의하면 서울특별시의 2005~2014년의 강수량은 1970년대에 비해 여름철에 38.7% 증가한 반면, 나머지 계절은 8.7%감소하여 홍수와 가뭄의 빈도가 상승하는 역설적 현상이 나타나고 있다. 또한 수도권 지역의 경우 도시화로 인한 불투수 면적 증가로 하천변의 홍수 피해지역이 더욱 증가되고 있는 실정이다. 재해 발생 규모는 점차 대형화되고 유형 또한 다양화되어 재해 발생 시 단순히 단일 지역이 아닌 여러지역에 걸쳐 피해가 발생되고 있다. 때문에 협력과 연계를 통한 치수대책이 효과적이지만, 현재 재해관련 업무는 여러 부처에 분산되어 있으며 지자체간 협력이 미흡한 실정이다. 이러한 한계를 극복하기 위해 본 연구에서는 재해 발생 시 피해를 최소화하기 위해 지자체들의 개별화 되어있는 대책을 서로 연계하는 방재협력시스템과 방재 대책 협력 방안을 제시하고자 한다. 국내 외 방재정책의 패러다임을 진단하기 위하여 관련 법령과 자료 및 도시의 협력대응사례를 조사, 분석하여 새로운 패러다임을 수립하고 이를 기초로, 기후변화를 고려하여 새로운 방재시스템을 제시하고 재난관리 협력방안을 모색하였다. 본 연구를 통하여 제안하고자 하는 새로운 방재시스템은 복구와 구조물적 대응 위주인 기존의 방재 패러다임에서 예방에 의한 방재와 탄력적 대응을 도입하도록 하여 예방적 차원의 이슈를 논의하고 비구조물/구조물 융합형 방재 개념을 실제 시스템으로 사용하도록 구체적 방안을 제안하였다. 또한 기존의 국내 도시방재형 패러다임을 분석한 결과, 인접지역의 계획간 연계가 부족하여 정책적 사각이 발생하고, 재해취약지역이 적절히 관리되지 못할 위험성이 존재하며 환경이나 지속 가능성에 취약한 형태가 될 수 있다. 따라서 수도권 내 지방자치 단체 간 협력을 통하여 사용할탄력적 개념을 제시하였으며, 이 개념의 적용을 통하여 효율적 재해 대응이 이루어 질 수 있다. 본 연구의 정책 제안을 기반으로 수도권 내 서울시 인천시 경기도 지역이 상호 협력하여 탄력적인 방재시스템을 구축하기 위한 기초자료로 활용될 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

The objective of this study was to develop an export determinant model for laver in the producing district. The annual and monthly amounts of laver products, local price, export price, and foreign exchange rate were included as explanatory variables. The estimation showed that the laver export is influenced more by the long term rather than short term product increase. In addition, as the foreign exchange rate and export price increase, the quantities exported decrease elastically. On the other hand, as the price in the local market increases, the quantities exported decrease non-elastically. Therefore, to enhance the laver exports, it is important to establish infrastructure for long term production increase, forecast and provide information on the export price and foreign exchange rate more accurately.

Deficiency of collagen regeneration, denaturalization of fibers, increased melanin synthesis and reactive oxygen species are important factors inducing deterioration of healthy skin function. They induce freckles and decrease in skin elasticity. Vitamin C, vitamin A and their derivatives have been used as cosmetic ingredients for improvement of these problems but they have various problems. We have been developing the various derivatives of these ingredients. In this study, we investigated whitening effect of 3-o-cetyl-L-ascorbic acid (VCCE), a new vitamin C derivative. The VCCE inhibited melanogenesis in a dose dependent manner(44 % at $20\;{\mu}g/mL $) and tyrosinase expression. For 8 weeks, we also investigated skin brightening effect of VCCE on pigmented spots in UV-irradiated human skin. In results, VCCE showed a statistically significant skin whitening effect by mechanical and visual evaluation. Taken together, our findings suggest that the VCCE has potential benefits as an active ingredient for whitening cosmetics.

This study examined the effects of ego-resilience and emotional labor on work-family conflicts among middle-aged female workers. Data were collected through self-reported structured questionnaires of 148 middle-aged female workers from October 2, 2013 to April 10, 2014. The results suggest that the mean score of work-family conflict was 25.59 (SD=11.99) and there were significant differences in living arrangements (F=4.32, p=.015), monthly living expenses (r=.18, p=.028), and job satisfaction (F=6.33, p<.001) by work-family conflict. Work-family conflict was negatively related to ego-resilience (r=-.28 p=.001). Living arrangement (living with parents, children) (${\beta}=.29$, p=.045), monthly living expenses (${\beta}=.22$, p=.006), job satisfaction (${\beta}=-.20$, p=.015), and ego-resilience (${\beta}=-.28$, p<.001) were identified as significant predictors of work-family conflict. This model explained about 19.0% of work-family conflict in middle-aged female workers (F=6.61 p<.001). Therefore, as a strategy to reduce the level of work-family conflict in middle-aged female workers, it is necessary to consider socioeconomic factors such as living arrangements and living expenses that affect work-family conflicts. Moreover, applying psychological intervention to improve job satisfaction and ego-resilience of middle-aged women in the working environment will help reduce work-family conflicts.

Just like UV radiation, heat increases collagen degradation and accumulation of abnormal elastin fiber and this is termed thermal skin aging. Dunaliella salina (DS), a green alga, is known for its beta-carotene accumulation, having various applications in the health and nutritional products. However, the effects of DS on heat-induced skin aging remain unexplored. In this study, we performed anti-thermal aging tests of the ethanol extract of DS (DSE). We measured the cellular levels of type I procollagen and MMP-1 using ELISA in human dermal fibroblast cells after heat shock. DSE reduced the expression of MMP-1 protein and increased the expression of type I procollagen. In addition, DSE upregulated the mRNA expression of HSP47 reduced by heat shock, which is involved in collagen synthesis. Also, DSE reduced the expression of inflammation mediator (TGF-${\beta}$, IL-12, etc). We demonstrate that DSE regulates the heat-induced solar elastosis through the regulation of tropoelastin and fibrillin-1, two major proteins of elastic fibers, and MMP-12 expression. These results suggest that DSE may be effective for preventing thermally induced skin aging.
