In this study, a 3D simulation program was used to produce a bodice prototype of a middle-aged male in their 40s and 50s and then analyze the appearance evaluation and airgap, sectional view, color distribution through virtual wearing to compare and analyze the differences between patterns. Through this, it was intended to provide basic data necessary for pattern development to companies that manufacture and produce clothing for middle-aged men. As a result of analyzing, J pattern was analyzed as the most suitable body shape pattern for middle-aged men. E pattern was too tight and L pattern and N pattern had too much spaces. However, J patternt was analyzed that correction was necessary in setting center back and center front length. The aging phenomenon in which the back is slightly bent forward and shoulders are also inclined is expected to appear, so it is necessary to adjust the front-to-back length, shoulder angle, and shoulder length. It is considered that after developing the research pattern by modifying J pattern, it is necessary to develop a body shape prototype for middle-aged men through actual clothing experiments on middle-aged men.

The purpose of this study was to analyze the direct measurement data of 40-59 year old middle-aged men from Size Korea's 7th anthropometric survey, and to identify the body shape characteristics and to type the body shape of middle-aged men. Through this, this study aimed to provide basic data necessary for the clothing patterns of middle-aged men with excellent fit. The data was SPSS Ver. 24.0 program analysis. Factors extracted six including body horizontal, vertical, shoulder, waist front length, leg thickness, and shoulder deflections. The body shape of middle-aged men was classified into three types. Type 1 had a thin body circumference, a narrow width, a low height, a short waist front length, and a thin ankle and calf. Type 2 had a high body height, a long waist front length, a normal circumference and width, a thick ankle, a calf, and a sagging shoulder. Type 3 had a large body circumference, a wide body, a wide shoulder, and a long waist front length. A prominent feature of the changes in body shape of middle-aged men is the increase in the circumference and thickness items due to abdominal protrusion and fat accumulation. Therefore, pattern design according to these physical characteristics is considered to be necessary.

The purpose of this study was to examine the fitness of a Path model to represent relations between stress, social support, depression, and suicidal ideation in middle-aged males. The participants were 236 middle-aged males, and data were collected from April 11 to June 1, 2018. The analysis was performed using descriptive statistics and Pearson's correlations in PASW Ver. 21.0, and AMOS Ver. 18.0 (a statistical structural equation modeling program), fitness characteristics of the final model were RMSEA 0.05, GFI 0.98, AGFI 0.95, and NFI 0.98. The major study results were as follows. First, stress had a direct effect on depression and drinking, and social support had a direct effect on depression. Second, stress and social support both directly affected suicidal ideation. Results also suggested depression had partial mediating effects on relations between stress, social support, and suicidal ideation. We suggest a program be devised to reduce suicidal ideation by middle-aged males. It is hoped our results will provide basic data for future studies.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the impact of retirement stress, character strengths and marital dissatisfaction on depression. Additionally this study examined direct effects and indirect effects of character strengths and marital dissatisfaction. The participant group was composed of 197 retired men living in Daegu and Gyongsangbuk-do. The Retirement Stress Scale (RSS), Character Strengths Test (CST), Korean Marital Satisfaction Inventory (K-MSI), and Center for Epistemology Studies Depression scale (CES-D) were administered to participants. Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) with AMOS was used for the purpose of analysis. The results of the study were as follows. First, an increase in retirement stress was associated with higher levels of depression. Second, hierarchical regression analysis indicated that higher levels of optimism significantly predicted higher depression. Also hierarchical regression analysis indicated that lower levels of appreciation of beauty and excellence without optimism significantly predicted higher depression. Furthermore, increases in marital dissatisfaction were associated with higher levels of depression. Third, the constructed model including both direct effects and indirect effects appeared to fit better than alternative model in explaining relationships between retirement stress and depression. In other words, character strengths and marital dissatisfaction appeared to affect the depression levels of retired men directly and indirectly. To sum up, this study demonstrated that the factors which had an effect on depression in retired men, character strengths and harmonious marital relationships appeared to act as a buffer against depression in retired men. The current results might serve as basic data for psychological well-being programs for retired men. Finally, the limitations and implications of the current study were discussed.

남성과 여성의 생식 기관은 태어날 때부터 모양이나 기능이 뚜렷하게 구별되고, 성장하여 사춘기에 이르면 생식기관이 성숙하며 생식 세포가 남성은 정자를, 여성은 난자를 만들어 자손을 남길 수 있게 한다. 이는 신의 선물로서 생식기관의 건강정보와 이해를 통해 더 건강하고 아름다운 남성과 여성으로서 역할을 할 수 있어야 할 것이다. 이번 호에서는 여성전문클리닉 미체원의 고영익 대표 원장과 고려대학교 안암병원 비뇨기과 김제종 교수의 도움말로 인체의 신비 생식기관에 대해서 알아본다.

꾸준히 증가하고 있는 창업시장에 남성 못지않게 여성의 창업도 증가하고 있다. 여성 창업을 독려하기 위한 다양한 정책도 많지만 남성의 창업 성과에 비해 여성의 창업 성과는 미미하게 나타나고 있다. 중소기업청에서 조사된 창업 현황으로 본다면 남성은 다양한 산업 분야에 창업을 하고 있고 자금투자유치 및 고성장도 이루어지고 있는 반면에 여성은 한정된 산업 분야에 개인자금조달 및 소규모경영형태로 나타나고 있다. 본 연구는 남성과 여성의 창업 형태가 위와 같이 차이가 나는 근본적인 원인을 사회적으로 잠재되어있는 젠더레짐에 영향을 받아 나타나는 것으로 가정하고 실증적인 검증을 하려고 한다. 양성평등 및 차별금지에 관한 교육이 꾸준히 이루어지고 있음에도 뿌리 깊은 젠더편향적인 한국문화적 특성상 그 성-편향적 사고의 틀 안에서 여성 창업에 대하여 평가하고 있다. 여성 창업은 꾸준히 증가되고는 있지만 암묵적으로 방관하는 젠더편향적인 사회 문화를 인식을 개선하지 않는 이상 여성 창업 환경과 그 성과는 앞으로도 크게 나아지지 않을 것이라고 생각 된다. 이에 남성 주류의 창업생태계 안에서 여성 창업에 대한 편견 및 유리천장이 존재하여 그 성장에 한계가 있는 것으로 가정하고 본 연구는 젠더레짐이 여성창업의도에 어떠한 영향을 미치는지 검증해보려고 한다.

Elderly males in retirement experiencing a change in their social status and role in the family are likely to develop negative perception toward the elderly and the elderly life. The purpose of this study is to examine how the experiences of age discrimination affect elderly male's perception and his attitude towards the elderly life, and to verify the mediation effects of the family and peer relations, which would necessitate the need for social welfare intervention. 215 participants, the elderly men registered at the welfare centers in Seoul Metropolitan area, participated in this research utilizing the structural equation modeling to verify the mediation effect. The findings are as follows. First, the elderly males's experiences of age discrimination is found not to have a significant effect on their perception towards the elderly. Second, the elderly males' discrimination experience has a significant effect on their attitude towards the elderly life. Third, it is found out that family function and peer relationship has complete mediation effect on the perception on the elderly experiencing discrimination in their perception towards the elderly life. Fourth, the family function and peer relationship has partial mediation effect on the elderly male experiencing discrimination in their attitude toward their life after retirement. This shows that more efforts are needed to reduce discrimination towards the elderly, and that strong family function and peer relations help the elderly to develop more positive perception and attitude towards the elderly life. In conclusion, it proposes an institutional approach towards the problem as well as increased support for elderly welfare service including family counseling intended to strengthen family function and alternative family, and more active social activities aimed at strengthening of peer relationship.

The status of health behaviors was surveyed in the random sample of 824 farmers (men 318, women 506) aged 40 years and older in Ulju-Gun, Kyungsangnam-Do. The data were collected by personal interview using structured questionnaire. The prevalence of individual health practices by sex(men/women) was 44.4%/45.0% in sleeping 7 or 8 hours; 92.7%/89.9% in eating breakfast almost every day; 82.7%/83.8% in eating between meals rarely or once in a while; 40.6%/88.1% in no drinking; 37.4%/86.6% in no smoking; 4.7%/5.6% in doing physical exercise regularly; 89.0%/80.0% in maintaining desirable weight for height (body mass index<25kg/$m^2$); 3.9%/23.2% in doing these health practices six or more The level of practicing health behaviors and perceiving their own health status was lower than the data from the residents in Pusan City. Therefore it could be expected to improve the health status of the residents in rural are through the effort to make them taking more interest in practicing health behaviors.
