The purpose of this study is to explore the structure of social discourse on aging in Korea by analyzing newspaper articles on aging. The analysis is composed of three steps: first, data collection and preprocessing; second, identifying the latent topics; and third, observing yearly dynamics of topics. In total, 1,472 newspaper articles that included the word "aging" within the title were collected from 10 major newspapers between 2006 and 2019. The underlying topic structure was analyzed using Latent Dirichlet Allocation (LDA), a topic modeling method widely adopted by text mining academics and researchers. Seven latent topics were generated from the LDA model, defined as social issues, death, private insurance, economic growth, national debt, labor market innovation, and income security. The topic loadings demonstrated a clear increase in public interest on topics such as national debt and labor market innovation in recent years. This study concludes that media discourse on aging has shifted towards more productivity and efficiency related issues, requiring older people to be productive citizens. Such subjectivation connotes a decreased role of the government and society by shifting the responsibility to individuals not being able to adapt successfully as productive citizens within the labor market.

Because heavy-duty construction vehicles such as excavators are required for good engine-room cooling capacity, a hydraulic gear motor is adopted in the cooling fan drive mechanism to actively control the output speed, instead of adopting the conventional ON/OFF type belt drive. While gear motors are normally limited to 140bars of operating pressure, those for the cooling fan are capable of operating at continuous pressures of up to 220bars. After assembly, all gear motors for high pressure must pass an aging test which is a kind of the wearing process between the gear teeth and motor housing. During the aging process with gradual pressure increments, gear sticking sometimes occurs due to abnormal wear, resulting in defects. This paper focuses on a gear-sticking free aging test controller that is designed together with the knowledge of an experienced operator and the analysis results of experimental data of the gear jamming phenomenon. From the aging experiment, it is demonstrated that the developed controller that can alter the setting pressure of the load pump is effective for stabilizing the abrupt increase in the motor input pressure, thus preventing the hydraulic motor from stopping. This is expected to be helpful for the reduction of defects and increase in productivity.

When garlic is aged for a certain period of time while maintaining proper humidity, it causes a browning reaction by its own ingredients and enzymes. In this study, the physicochemical properties were analyzed by varying the temperature conditions for aging garlic. It was found that about 20% of the weight of garlic was reduced through the aging process. During the aging process, both samples showed the highest water content on the 10th day of aging, and the water content of the two samples was similar after the aging was completed. In the analysis of total sugar content change, AG1 (22.0±0.7 vs 21.4±0.6) showed a significantly higher sugar content on the 10th day of aging, but showed a tendency to gradually decrease thereafter, whereas AG2 showed a steady increase in sugar content during the aging process (18.7 < 21.4 < 21.7 < 22.3 < 23.7). The pH change that occurred during the aging process showed the most pH change on the 10th day. In AG1, the pH gradually decreased as the aging period increased, whereas in AG2, the pH increased significantly after the 10th day. In the analysis of browning, AG1 increased sharply on the 10th day and maintained the state, and AG2 showed a significant increase in browning according to the aging process. In conclusion, based on the results of this study, if various ripening temperature conditions are set, it is judged that it will play a positive role in improving the productivity of black garlic.

The health care markets are rapidly expanded due to population aging, increasing incomes, strengthening assurance of health insurance and so on, and the competition in the markets is getting serious. In the industry, hospitals have played more important role than any others, where doctors, nurses, medical technicians, administrative staff, etc cooperatively works hard. Among them, nurses capture 40 percents of specialized hospital workers and their role for patients as customers is essential. Therefore, it could be one of the most important keys to increase the productivity and wellbeing of nurses with respect to enhancing efficiency and competitiveness of operating hospitals. In this paper the impact of nurses' job satisfaction, job stress, burnout, and organizational citizenship behavior on their productivity is studied. The subjects were 576 nurses in 20 different hospitals in Seoul, Kyounggi, etc. We held hypotheses and statistically tested and analysed them, using SPSS 20.0 software. Thus, we found various significant results(p<0.05), and they will give useful suggestions for managing nurse manpower and enhancing their productivity.

Current trends in the Korean construction industry, including the aging of the workforce, a lack of new Korean construction workers, and an inflow of unskilled foreign labor, have caused a range of problems, including quality deterioration, reduced productivity, insufficient understanding of the function and difficulties in communication, to name a few. Yet while countermeasures to these problems should be based on accurate and diverse fundamental data, including the current status of demand and supply of domestic and foreign construction workers, the perception of construction workers, studies on these questions have, thus far, been scarce. For these reasons, this study was conducted using a questionnaire for managers and workers on construction sites, to secure fundamental data relating to construction workers. The findings of the survey showed that it is urgent to prepare measures to educate, train and foster human resources, considering the aging of the construction workforce and the lack of an inflow of new construction workers.

Korea is moving toward an aging society faster than the other advance countries such as the U.S. and France. Such aging phenomena are posing greater problems in rural areas than in urban areas, and particularly, decrease in productivity caused by aging population leads to economic difficulties and hinders the improvement of housing life. The purpose of this research is to examine and identify the housing conditions of the vulnerable in rural areas and to present ways to improve the elderly housing and the housing environment in rural areas and to provide basic data for materializing the policies to enhance the quality of life. The results of this research are as follows. First, the elderly in rural areas were found to receive relatively smooth supports for services related to clothing and food through the government and social organizations. But for the housing problems, it was found that there were not any supports. Second, the poor housing environment may cause diseases to the elderly with weak immunity, so ways to remedy these problems are urgently needed. Third, the vulnerable in rural areas can hardly bear the burden of improving the housing environment, so supports from the government and social organizations are needed. Fourth, ways to support the vulnerable such as households receiving basic living subsidies and to support the poor who are not receiving such subsidies should be explored.

국내 건설현장의 인력은 점점 더 고령화 되고 있다. 건설기능인력의 부재 및 인력수급의 어려움으로 인한 건설공사의 생산성 및 품질저하를 막기 위한 다양한 방법들이 고안되고 있다. 특히 건설공사에 필수적인 중장비와 관련해서 Machine Guidance (MG), Remote Machine Control 등 다양한 방법을 적용하여 생산성 제고 및 품질 향상을 도모하고 있다. MG의 등장 이래로 많은 선행연구가 진행되었으나, 측설(공사 등에 있어서 굴착 경계면, 기준선 중심선 등을 표기하는 것)이 힘든 환경에서의 현장 테스트는 아직까지 부족한 상황이다. 본 연구에서는 측설이 복잡한 현장을 대상으로 MG 굴삭기의 현장 테스트를 진행하고 생산성 분석, 품질평가를 수행하였다. MG 굴삭기를 적용한 후 생산성을 분석한 결과 최솟값은 20.5%, 최댓값은 56.9%, 4일 평균 생산성은 표준품셈 대비 38.3% 증가하였다. 또한 품질평가를 진행한 결과 선행연구 결과 대비 수평 오차 ${\pm}1cm$, 수직 오차 ${\pm}2cm$로 검증되었다
