Due to the rapid demographic and structural changes, Korea has faced a variety of social issues and quickly entered the aged society since the 2000s. In order deal with this reality, diverse types of welfare policies are emerging in the society as a whole. The government began to supply domestic public silver housing in 2016 to provide against the quickly growing aged society and now, the government is planning to supply approximately 50,000 housing by 2022 for quantitative growth of aged society, by selecting 1st and 2nd designated areas for the project additionally. This public retirement(silver) housing combines 'space' with 'service'. The lower floors are a public silver welfare Facilities and the upper floors are a housing spaces. This type of housing is to deal with requirements of rental housing residents by combining physical space with supporting service. Based on barrier-free design, the complex and unit house have safety handles and alarm bells in the bathroom, undulating washstands, bathroom sliding doors, corridor safety handles, and emergency safety exit lamps in each housing unit so the aged and the disabled can use easily and conveniently. Also, hand rails are installed and stepped pulleys are removed to promote convenience. Currently, the government is planning to increase the supply, focusing on low-income groups, such as beneficiaries of national basic livelihood and the working poor. Recognizing that the public retirement(silver) housing project is at its early stage, this study examined satisfaction, based on evaluations of real residents. This study aimed to obtain more empirical research data and apply them to public retirement(silver) house space analysis. For analysis, this study targeted Wirye public retirement(silver) housing and Magnolia public retirement(silver) housing that are in operation, and literature review, previous research review, and field survey were conducted to examine the present state. Using the questionnaires consisting of four large classification items; Block Layout, Housing Unit, Welfare Facilities, and Barrier-free Design, and sub-details, a survey was conducted to analyze residents' satisfaction. In conclusion, it is anticipated that this study would serve as basic research data about public retirement(silver) housing to increase continuously in future by analyzing public retirement(silver) housing spaces, on the basis of the analyzed data.

선진사회의 지표는 모든 사회 구성원들의 보편적 삶의 질의 수준과 그 만족도라 할 수 있다. 이러한 보편적 삶의 질은 사회적 약자들의 측면에서는 도시공간으로의 접근성과 밀접한 관련이 있다. 시각장애인과 같은 교통약자들은 도시공간에서의 관심 시설물에의 접근과 이동권의 확보가 매우 중요한 관심사이다. 특히 여객시설과 같은 시설물간의 매개역할을 수행하는 환승시설과 그 내부의 장애인 편의시설은 매우 중요한 의미를 지니고 있다. 장애인 편의시설은 각 시설물에 접근할 수 있는 유일한 방법으로 시각장애인에게 제공되므로, 이에 대한 공간적 분포를 분석하여 제공하는 것은 매우 중요한 의미를 지닌다. 그러나 기존의 관련연구들은 이용자의 의식조사나 관련 통계 분석에 머물러 있는 상황이다. 그러므로 이 연구에서는 공간(Spatial) 데이터를 기반으로 공간분석이 가능한 GIS를 이용하여 시각장애인의 여객시설의 내부편의시설 이용증진과 이동권 확보를 위한 무장애 공간을 분석하고자 하였다. 연구결과 일부 장애공간이 존재하여 신속한 보완이 필요하였으며, 다양한 내부편의시설의 이용증진을 위해서는 점자블록과 같은 장애인 편의시설의 확충이 필요함을 알 수 있었다.

강자성체/비자성 금속/강자성체/반도체 구조에서 층간교환강호작용(interlayer exchange coupling) 에너지가 외부 인가전압으로 제어 가능함을 이론적으로 보였다. 비자성 금속층으로 격리된 두 강자성층 사이의 층간교환상호작용 에너지는 강자성체/비자성 금속 계면에서 전자의 스핀에 의존하는 반사율의 차이에 의해 결정된다는 것은 잘 알려진 사실인데, 이를 각자성체/비자성 금속/강자성체/반도체 구조에 적용하여 층간교환상호작용 에너지가 강자성체/비자성 금속/강자성체 계면에서 전자의 반사율뿐 아니라 강자성체/반도체 계면에서의 반사율에도 의존한다는 것을 보였다 강자성체/반도체 계면에 생기는 Schottky 장벽의 높이와 두께는 인가전압으로 바꿀 수 있고, 그에 따른 전자의 반사율이 인가전압에 의해 바뀔 수 있음을 알 수 있었다. 결과적으로 일차원 자유전자 모델을 사용하여 외부 인가 전압으로써 두 강자성체 사이의 층간 교환 상호작용 에너지를 제어할 수 있다는 것을 확인하였다.

Objective: This study aimed to investigate the blood-brain barrier (BBB) disruption in mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) patients with post-concussion syndrome (PCS) using dynamic contrast-enhanced (DCE) magnetic resonance (MR) imaging and automatic whole brain segmentation. Materials and Methods: Forty-two consecutive mTBI patients with PCS who had undergone post-traumatic MR imaging, including DCE MR imaging, between October 2016 and April 2018, and 29 controls with DCE MR imaging were included in this retrospective study. After performing three-dimensional T1-based brain segmentation with FreeSurfer software (Laboratory for Computational Neuroimaging), the mean K^trans and v_p from DCE MR imaging (derived using the Patlak model and extended Tofts and Kermode model) were analyzed in the bilateral cerebral/cerebellar cortex, bilateral cerebral/cerebellar white matter (WM), and brainstem. K^trans values of the mTBI patients and controls were calculated using both models to identify the model that better reflected the increased permeability owing to mTBI (tendency toward higher K^trans values in mTBI patients than in controls). The Mann-Whitney U test and Spearman rank correlation test were performed to compare the mean K^trans and v_p between the two groups and correlate K^trans and v_p with neuropsychological tests for mTBI patients. Results: Increased permeability owing to mTBI was observed in the Patlak model but not in the extended Tofts and Kermode model. In the Patlak model, the mean K^trans in the bilateral cerebral cortex was significantly higher in mTBI patients than in controls (p = 0.042). The mean v_p values in the bilateral cerebellar WM and brainstem were significantly lower in mTBI patients than in controls (p = 0.009 and p = 0.011, respectively). The mean K^trans of the bilateral cerebral cortex was significantly higher in patients with atypical performance in the auditory continuous performance test (commission errors) than in average or good performers (p = 0.041). Conclusion: BBB disruption, as reflected by the increased K^trans and decreased v_p values from the Patlak model, was observed throughout the bilateral cerebral cortex, bilateral cerebellar WM, and brainstem in mTBI patients with PCS.

Long-term exposure to environmental pollutants can impair the human skin's barrier function and promote skin aging mechanisms. The visible consequences of these effects are dryness, wrinkles, black spots and worsening skin sensitivity. As awareness of the effects of environmental stressors on the skin has recently increased, consumers' demand for cosmetics that can provide anti-pollution effects is increasing. In this study, the possibility of anti-pollution cosmetic material was investigated by measuring the inhibitory effect of free radicals using a mixture of Nypa fruticans Wurmb (NF), Saussurea neoserrata (SN), Codium fragile (CF) and Enteromorpha compressa (EC), which has anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects against irritation caused by dust. Combining the experimental results of a mixture of NF, SN, CF and EC by induction of fine dust stimulation, inhibition of inflammatory factors (PGE₂) and intracellular free radicals (ROS) by inhibiting effects were significant, indicating the possibility of use as anti-pollution cosmetics. The most plants used as sources of anti-pollution cosmetic ingredients contain antioxidants as active substances. In our highly industrialized and chemically polluted world, it is not surprising that most plants used as sources of anti-pollution cosmetic ingredients contain antioxidants as active substances. Considering our results, it can be suggested that this anti-pollutant consisting of NF, SN, CF and EC may be a good ingredient for skincare products for the cosmetic industry due to their antioxidant properties, which may especially alter skin aging.

Kirkendall void는 전해도금 Cu/Sn-Ag 솔더 접합부에서 형성되었으며 Cu 도금욕에 함유되는 첨가제에 의존한다. 첨가제로 사용된 SPS의 함량의 증가와 함께 $150^{\circ}C$에서 열처리 후 많은 양의 Kirkendall void가 $Cu/Cu_3Sn$ 계면에 존재하였다. AES 분석은 void 표면에 S가 편석되어 있음을 보여주었다. $Cu/Cu_3Sn$ 계면을 따라 파괴된 시편에서 Cu, Sn, S peak만 검출되었고 AES 깊이 프로파일에서 S는 급격하게 감소하였다. $Cu/Cu_3Sn$ 계면에서 S 편석은 계면에너지를 낮추고 Kirkendall void 핵생성을 위한 에너지장벽을 감소시킨다. 낙하충격시험은 SPS를 사용하여 도금된 Cu의 경우 Kirkendall void가 형성된 $Cu/Cu_3Sn$ 계면에서 파괴가 진행되고 급격하게 신뢰성이 감소됨을 보였다.

The effects of Sn addition and solution treatment on corrosion behavior were studied in AZ91 magnesium casting alloy. The addition of 5%Sn contributed to the introduction of $Mg_2Sn$ phase, to the reduction in dendritic cell size and to the increase in the amount of secondary phases. After the solution treatment, trace amount of $Al_8Mn_5$ particles were observed in the ${\alpha}$-(Mg) matrix for the AZ91 alloy, while $Mg_2Sn$ phase with high thermal stability was additionally found in the AZ91-5%Sn alloy. Before the solution treatment, the AZ91-5%Sn alloy had better corrosion resistance than the Sn-free alloy, which is caused by the enhanced barrier effect of the (${\beta}+Mg_2Sn$) phases formed more continuously along the dendritic cell boundaries. It is interesting to note that after the solution treatment, the corrosion rate of both alloys became increased, but the Sn-added alloy showed higher corrosion rate than the Sn-free alloy. The microstructural examination on the corroded surfaces revealed that the remaining $Mg_2Sn$ particles in the solution-treated AZ91-5%Sn alloy play a role in accelerating corrosion by galvanic coupling with the ${\alpha}$-(Mg) matrix.

It has been known that, under certain conditions, application of low-temperature atmospheric-pressure plasmas can enhance proliferation of cells. In this study, conditions for optimal cell proliferation were examined for various cells relevant for orthopaedic applications. Plasmas used in our experiments were generated by dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) with a helium flow (of approximately 3 litter/min) into ambient air at atmospheric pressure by a 10 kV~20 kHz power supply. Such plasmas were directly applied to a medium, in which cells of interest were cultured. The cells examined in this study were human synoviocytes, rat mesenchymal stem cells derived from bone marrow or adipose tissue, a mouse osteoblastic cell line (MC3T3-E1), a mouse embryonic mesenchymal cell line (C3H-10T1/2), human osteosarcoma cells (HOS), a mouse myoblast cell line (C2C12), and rat Schwann cells. Since cell proliferation can be enhanced even if the cells are not directly exposed to plasmas but cultured in a medium that is pre-treated by plasma application, it is surmised that long-life free radicals generated in the medium by plasma application stimulate cell proliferation if their densities are appropriate. The level of free radical generation in the medium was examined by dROMs tests and correlation between cell proliferation and oxidative stress was observed. Other applications of plasma medicine in orthopaedics, such as plasma modification of artificial bones and wound healing effects by direct plasma application for mouse models, will be also discussed. The work has been done in collaboration with Prof. H. Yoshikawa and his group members at the School of Medicine, Osaka University.
