에피쿠로스와 루크레티우스는 죽음이 산 자에게도 죽은 자에게도 나쁘지 않음을 피력한다. 이에 반해 죽음에 대한 우리의 일상적 태도는 죽음을 나쁜 것으로 믿는다. 이 일상의 믿음은 일견 맹목적이며 성찰이 결여된 것으로 보이지만, 우리의 생활세계와 생활형식은 이 믿음을 견고하고 받쳐주고 있다. 본 논문은 죽음을 나쁘다고 믿는 데에는 타당한 이유가 있다고 주장한다. 그리고 이 주장을 정당화하기 위해 토마스 네이글의 '박탈이론'의 주장을 비판적으로 옹호한다. 박탈이론의 주장의 요점을 살피고 이에 대한 문제점을 제시하며 이를 통해 박탈이론의 주요 주장을 재구성함으로써 다음과 같은 사실을 밝힌다. 즉 우리는 죽을 운명을 피할 수 없는 존재이며 동시에 미래를 향한 존재이자 주체적 개인으로서 무한한 삶의 가능성을 갖고 있는 존재이다. 죽음은 인류라는 종으로서 우리에게 자연스러운 사태이지만, 주체적 개인으로서 우리에게 가능한 삶과 미래를 박탈하는 사태이다. 그래서 우리의 생활세계와 생활형식에서 조우하는 죽음은 나쁘다. 인류로서 우리는 에피쿠로스와 루크레티우스의 견해에 동의할 수 있지만, 주체적 개인으로서 우리는 이들과 견해를 함께 할 수 없다.

The purpose of this study is to identify the influence of ego integrity on death anxiety of the elderly, mediated by depression based on Erikson theory(1963). For this study, 313 elderly over 60 years old in Daegu city participated in a survey. The data of the survey was analyzed using SPSS 15.0 and Structural Equation Modeling(SEM) with AMOS 7.0. The results of the study are as follows: ego integrity of the elderly does not influence death anxiety due to the suppressing effect of depression. However, depression does mediate the relation between ego integrity and death anxiety fully. Such findings suggest that the Erikson theory can also be applied to elderly Korean citizens. A practical benefit derived from the study's results is the proposition to implement a reminiscence program, reinforce depression treatment and prevention systems, and augment a death awareness movement for elderly.

The basic theory of the quasi-birth-and-death process is extended to a process which is inhomogeous in levels. Several key results in the standard homogeneous theory hold in a more general context than that usually stated, in particular not requiring positive recurrence. Theser results are subsumed under our development. The treatment is entirely probabilistic.

Gabriel García Márquez's short story "The Handsomest Drowned Man in the World" ["El ahogado más hermoso del mundo," 1968] and the novel Chronicle of a Death Foretold [Crónica de una muerte anunciada, 1981] and Merlinda Bobis's novel Fish-Hair Woman (2012) and short story "O Beautiful Co-Spirit" (2021) feature unusual scenarios of death: the arrival of a drowned man's corpse at an island; the inaction of the community to stop the foretold death of a supposedly-innocent man; a woman with long hair that can fetch dead bodies at the bottom of the village river; and a Filipino Catholic and a Malaysian Muslim working together to prepare an Italian Catholic's corpse for a funeral. These narratives demand critical attention as all deaths make the community's existence meaningful as they alter its social reality. Looking into the works of the aforementioned Colombian writer and Filipino writer and unveiling how death affects the community, this paper relies on Jean-Luc Nancy's theory on death and inoperative community.

As mentioned above, the Frankl's theory accords with the core of hospice nursing that helps people to accomplish human essence in suffering and death. therefore we accepted Frankl's point of view, asserted that one of the most important roles of a hospice nurse as a supporter and sustainer for dying patients is to help patients to find meaning in life even in the course of death. To achieve the goal, hospice nurses should try to have a firm faith through philosophical introspection about life, death, human existence and meaning in life what the most important goal of life is to discover meaning in life and human have the duty and responsibility of recognizing and pursuing meaning up to the last moment of life.

Mental health experts warn the combination of overwhelming amounts of information, economic instability, political discontent, social injustice, and the high infection and death rates of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic are negatively impacting mental health in ways that may worsen the pandemic and intensify our primal fear of death. Terror Management Theory (TMT) argues that self-esteem and cultural worldviews serve as defenses against the terror of our own mortality. This theory anchor paper introduces TMT to Library and Information Science (LIS) via a selected literature review on TMT's use in the field of Psychology and an extensive discussion on the conceptual connections to LIS supported with empirical research from related disciplines and contexts. The implications, applications, and usefulness of TMT for LIS research, education, and practice are discussed in relation to the COVID-19 pandemic and other contexts, and a research agenda is proposed.

웰빙'(well being)과 함께 최근 '웰다잉'(well dying)에 대한 사회적 관심이 '안락사'(安樂死) 문제를 계기로 촉발되어 인간 죽음의 존엄성에 대한 중요한 담론으로 대두되고 있다. '웰다잉'(well dying)은 그 어의대로 '좋은 죽음'을 의미하며, 이런 의미적 맥락의 연장선상에서 통상적으로 '준비된 죽음', '품위 있는 죽음', '아름다운 죽음'을 지칭한다. 본고에서 논자는 '죽음'을 교학의 출발점으로, 그리고 '죽음의 극복'을 교학의 종착점으로 삼고 있는 불교의 죽음관이 웰다잉에 대한 담론에 어떠한 기여를 할 수 있는지 면밀히 고찰하였다. 불교의 죽음에 대한 태도와 해석, 그리고 그 극복의 과정은 웰다잉에 대한 보다 풍부한 담론을 형성하는 단초가 되며, 특히 죽음의 극복을 육체적 생리적 영생으로서가 아닌 정신적 심리적 현상으로 해석하고 이러한 정신적 심리적 변화를 통한 사물의 진실상(眞實相)에 대한 깨달음[정각(正覺)]을 통해서 죽음을 극복하는 불교의 견해는 죽음불안의 극복 및 죽음교육에 많은 기여를 할 수 있다.

본 연구에서는 근거 이론적 접근을 통하여 농촌지역에 살고 있는 여성 노인의 사별적응을 살펴보고 확인하여 그에 대한 실체이론을 개발하고자 하였다. 연구의 참여자는 농촌노인의 배우자를 사별한 여성으로 배우자 상실 후 단독거주자로서 홀로 살고 있으며 배우자를 사별한지 12개월 미만이 되는 14명이었다. 수집기간은 2010년 1월부터 8개월간의 기간이 소요되었고, 인터뷰는 1회기 당 40분-90분까지 소요되었으며 현장메모를 동시에 기록하였고 녹음된 내용은 본 연구자가 직접 필사하였다. 연구 자료는 심층면담과 참여관찰 및 참여자를 돌보는 지역사회 담당간호사의 도움을 받아 수집하였다. 수집된 자료는 Strauss & Corbin(1998)의 근거이론방법을 적용하여 분석하였다. 연구결과 개방코딩 과정에서 80개의 개념과 28개의 하위범주, 12개의 범주가 도출되었으며, 배우자 사별 적응과정은 '울타리가 무너져 내림'의 인과적 조건과 '살아생전부부의 금실정도', '살아생전 부부의 주도권'의 맥락적 조건에 영향을 받아 나타나는 '홀로 여생을 감당해 나감'의 중심현상에 대한 '지원체계', '건강상태가 달라짐', '경제상황 정도'의 중재적 조건에 영향을 받으면서 '상황 끌어안기', '생활의 변화를 시도함'의 전략을 사용하여 '홀로 살아갈 길을 찾음'의 과정인 것으로 나타났다. 시간의 흐름에 따른 적응과정은 충격과 감정분출 단계, 그리움과 원망단계, 체념과 수용단계, 삶의 재구성단계의 4단계로 나타났다. 이상의 결과는 농촌여성의 배우자를 사별하고 살아가야하는 참여자들이 여러 맥락요인들의 영향을 조절하면서 중재전략을 적정하게 사용하여 삶에 적응할 수 있도록 하는 '홀로 살아갈 길을 찾음'의 과정 및 유형에 노인복지 중재의 방향을 제시하고 실질적인 실천적 복지중재를 개발하고 적응하는데 기초 자료를 제공하였다.

This study investigates the portrait paintings of the Chosun period and the Death Records of the Chosun-dynasty Sillok in an effort to find new methods to apply to character design. The basis of this study were 42 figures from a group of portrait paintings from the late Goryeo period to the Chosun dynasty of the 25th King, Chul-Jong. First, Chinese letters illustrating the personalities in the Death Records were classified into five groups based on the Big Five theory, which divides personalities into the Big Five Personality Traits of extraversion, agreeableness, conscientiousness, neuroticism, and openness. Secondly, a representative facial image was created through a morphing technique after extracting the portraits using a method that relied on the high frequency of the appearance of specific Chinese letters related to each personality type.
