The purpose of this study was to compare urban and rural seniors' perceptions on the eight aspects of the World Health Organization Age-Friendly Cities (AFC) initiative on Jeju Island, South Korea. Face-to-face interviews using structured questionnaires were administered to 497 persons aged 65+ living on Jeju Island. Findings suggested that urban and rural held significantly different perceptions on five aspects of AFC (outdoor space and buildings, housing, civic participation and employment, community support and health services, and respect and social inclusion). Predictors of overall AFC score for all participants included age and living in a single-family home. Among urban dwellers, monthly household income and length of residence predicted AFC score while among rural seniors, predictors of AFC included educational attainment. To make communities more age-friendly, perspectives of older residents should be sought, shared, and reflected in policy and different strategies and priorities should be developed specific to urban and rural areas.

Korean logistics industry have been focused on transportation business. However, with the expansion of the electronic commerce and on-line shopping, delivery service is now dramatically growing. Despite the expansion of logistics market, the domestic logistics industry have significant structural problems such as low productivity comparing with the advanced countries, relatively high cost and shortage of human resources and lack of professionalism of people in the industry. Logistics companies reallocate employees, use subcontractors, expand consignment and training the employees to overcome the labor shortages but it has some limits. In recognition of the importance of labor in the logistics industry, financial support and investment have increased. Logistics companies tend to hire consultants, set up logistics department or R&D center in order to establish highly productive logistics process and system so it is viewed that there will be considerable demands of human resources in the logistics industry. This study indicates implications and development direction of human resources in the logistics industry by looking into prospect and characteristic of the industry, employment status, training programs and qualification requirements.

The COVID-19 global health crisis has affected the mental and psychological health and well-being of the people around the world. However, little is known about the impact of COVID-19 among Filipino teachers. This study was conducted to determine the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the quality of life (QoL) of professional teachers in the Philippines. A descriptive cross-sectional study was used involving 139 licensed professional teachers. The COVID-19 Impact on Quality of Life (COV19-QoL) was the primary measure used in this study. Descriptive statistics, t-test, and one-way ANOVA were the statistical tools employed to analyze the data. Results indicated a moderate COVID-19 impact on the QoL of the teachers. There was a significant difference in the impact of COVID-19 on QoL by degree program. However, the impact of COVID-19 on QoL did not significantly differ by age, sex, marital status, employment status, monthly salary, presence of a COVID-19 case near their residence, personal knowledge of someone who was infected or died of COVID-19, presence of a medical condition, and perceived threat. The psychological well-being and QoL of teachers must be recognized and teachers must be provided with support as they continue to adapt to the impact brought by the COVID-19 pandemic. This study contributes to the growing literature on the impact of the pandemic.

대학생들의 취업난이 심각한 상황에서 대학생들은 취업 스트레스를 많이 받을 것으로 생각되며, 이는 흡연태도에 영향을 미칠 것으로 생각된다. 본 연구는 남자 대학생의 강인성 및 취업스트레스와 흡연태도와의 관련성을 확인하고 흡연태도의 영향요인을 확인하기 위하여 시도되었다. 일부 지역의 남자 대학생 145명을 대상으로 구조화된 설문지를 이용하여 자료를 수집하였다. 자료분석은 SPSS 프로그램을 이용하였으며, t-test, ANOVA, Kruskal Wallis test, Pearson's Correlation Coefficients, 위계적 다중회귀분석을 시행하였다. 연구 결과 현재 흡연자인 남자 대학생은 22.1%였으며, 대상자의 흡연상태에 따라 흡연태도는 유의한 차이를 보였다(H=28.26, p<.001). 대상자의 강인성 점수가 높은 군(t=-3.27, p=.001)과 취업스트레스가 낮은 군(t=4.40, p<.001)에서 흡연태도가 바람직하게 나타났다. 강인성과 흡연태도는 양의 상관관계를 보였으며(r=.18, p=.028), 취업스트레스와 흡연태도는 음의 상관관계를 보였다(r=-.28, p=.001). 또한, 대상자의 흡연태도에 영향을 미치는 요인은 비흡연자(β=.50, p<.001), 취업스트레스(β=-.23, p=.015), 과거흡연자(β=.22, p=.016)로 나타났으며, 설명력은 24.3%였다. 이러한 연구 결과를 통해 학교와 보건소 등을 통한 상담이나 취업지원 프로그램을 통해 스트레스 상황을 능동적으로 조절하고 대처할 수 있도록 돕는 것이 남자 대학생의 흡연태도를 바람직한 방향으로 변화시킬 수 있을 것이다.

본 연구는 비정규직 근로자가 노동시장에서 사용자와 자발적 계약에 의한 매칭이 실현되는가에 주목하고 기업규모별로 입지가 다른 상황을 고려하여 비자발적 선택 요인을 분석하였다. 이를 위해 노동이동에 관한 push/pull 이론 하에서 자발적/비자발적 비정규직으로 분류하였다. 2016년 8월 경활 부가조사에 의하면 기업규모가 작아질수록 비자발적 비정규직의 비중이 자발적 비정규직보다 더 크게 나타났다. 실증분석 결과, 대기업에서의 비정규직은 자발과 비자발로 구분하는 것이 의미를 갖지 못하였다. 이에 비해 중소기업과 영세기업에서는 장년층, 저학력일수록 비자발적 선택 가능성이 증가하였고 영세기업에 비자발적으로 입직할 유인이 중소기업보다 크게 나타났다. 그러므로 비정규직에 관한 정책을 마련함에 있어서 우선적으로 2차 노동시장의 비자발적 비정규직을 정책 대상으로 삼고, 비자발적 선택 이유가 되는 보상, 전공 경력의 미스매칭 문제에 주목할 필요가 있다. 중소 영세기업의 급여 및 근로조건 개선뿐만 아니라 직무능력 및 경력에 맞는 일자리 정보를 제공하는 고용서비스 시스템이 확충되어야 할 것이다.

국내 사업체수의 99%와 고용의 88%를 차지하는 중소기업의 중요성을 고려하여 정부는 정보화 지원정책을 시행하여 왔다. 그러나 한정된 예산과 민간 시장의 정보화 역량 상승으로 인해 정보화 지원 패러다임의 전환과 새로운 정책 방향이 필요한 시점이다. 본 연구에서는 중기청의 정보화 지원 정책을 정보화 발전단계 모델과 비교하여 평가하고 향후 지원방향을 모색하였다. 정보화 발전단계 모델은 정보화 활용 수준을 정보화 도입부터 전략적 혁신에 이르기까지 5단계로 구분한 모델이다. 중기청의 정보화 지원 정책은 정보화 발전단계 중 단위 정보화나 기업내 통합 단계에 집중되어 있고, 기업간 통합단계나 전략적 혁신 단계는 미흡한 것으로 나타났다. 이와 같은 결과를 바탕으로 향후 중소기업의 정보화 정책을 위한 3가지 방향을 제시하였다. 첫째, 정보화 발전단계 상 전략적 혁신 단계로의 지원 중심의 이동이 필요하다. 둘째 정보화 발전단계에 기반한 정보화 도입 로드맵을 수립함으로써 중소기업이 로드맵에 따라 자체적인 정보화 역량을 육성해 나가도록 할 필요가 있다. 마지막으로 공급자 중심이 아닌 성과에 기반한 정책을 수립하여 정보화 지원의 실효성을 제고하여야 한다.

The majority of people diagnosed with diabetes mellitus are in the working age group in developing countries. The interrelationship of diabetes and work, that is, diabetes affecting work and work affecting diabetes, becomes an important issue for these people. Therapeutic options for the diabetic worker have been developed, and currently include various insulins, insulin sensitizers and secretagogues, incretin mimetics and enhancers, and alpha glucosidase inhibitors. Hypoglycemia and hypoglycaemic unawareness are important and unwanted treatment side effects. The risk they pose with respect to cognitive impairment can have safety implications. The understanding of the therapeutic options in the management of diabetic workers, blood glucose awareness training, and self-monitoring blood glucose will help to mitigate this risk. Employment decisions must also take into account the extent to which the jobs performed by the worker are safety sensitive. A risk assessment matrix, based on the extent to which a job is considered safety sensitive and based on the severity of the hypoglycaemia, may assist in determining one's fitness to work. Support at the workplace, such as a provision of healthy food options and arrangements for affected workers will be helpful for such workers. Arrangements include permission to carry and consume emergency sugar, flexible meal times, selfmonitoring blood glucose when required, storage/disposal facilities for medicine such as insulin and needles, time off for medical appointments, and structured self-help programs.
