In this study, the impact of the fashion design education on the brain wave and the psychological change of the senior females and its change was intended to analyze. 16 senior females were selected as a subject and the brain wave and the psychology were analyzed before and after the educational program of 4 hours a day for total 3 weeks. Out of the brain wave, the increase of alpha wave represents the mental stability and the comfortable state and its decrease represents the tension and stress. On the contrary, the increase of beta wave represents the tension and the excitation. In the brain wave analysis results, the alpha wave was increased and the beta wave was decreased after the design education program, through which it is deemed that the design education would help to increase the psychological stability and to decrease the tension and the stress in the senior females. In the results of analyzing the psychological test, while the test results for 4 senior females were shown as anxious out of 16 senior females, the BAI score was decreased to 'minor anxiety' after the education and the BAI score was decreased except 2 subjects, through it is deemed that the fashion design education would help to reduce the anxiety in the senior females and it seems that it is coincided with the beta wave analysis results.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the body mass index(BMI) and foot characteristics of senior-generation women and to use those values to develop a standard shoe last for producing shoes that best fit the foot of senior-generation women. In order to develop a standard shoe last that reflects the BMI and foot characteristics of senior-generation women, I analyzed the morphometric characteristics of feet by conducting descriptive statistics for each item. The foot characteristics based on BMI were analyzed by conducting ANOVA and Duncan's tests via the foot's measured values. Subsequently, I developed a standard shoe last reflecting the BMI and the foot characteristics of senior-generation women by applying all those values. Senior-generation women showed significant differences among three groups based on BMI-normal weight, overweight, and obese-in all the items except for medial ball width and toe 5 angle. Through these values, I realized that as the value of the BMI becomes higher, the size of the foot becomes larger. This suggests that as a woman's weight increases or decreases, her shoes need to be replaced as well as her clothes. Deviations in the toe-side parts of the shoe could cause deformation of the foot. If someone keeps wearing shoes produced using a shoe last with a large deviation, she risks developing foot conditions like hallux valgus. This situation points to the need for shoe manufacture that utilizes a standard shoe last that reflects the BMI and foot characteristics of the senior generation.

This study stemmed from the notion that effects of wage peak system were investigated exclusively on management efficiency from the perspective of workplace. As a way to overcome the limitation of previous studies, This study examined the effects of wage peak system on age integration of senior workers. Quantitative analyses with data from workplace panel survey were executed. Results revealed that percent of workers aged 50 and over was significantly higher in work places that implemented wag peak system than that of those did not. Also Average year of employment for full time workers was higher in work places that implemented wag peak system than that of those did not, suggesting that wage peak system was related to labor market integration of aged workers in some ways.

Differences of clothing purchase behaviors were examined according to gender and the group classified by shopping orientation. Data were collected from September 2 to September 9, 2019 using a professional internet research panel; subsequently, 246 sets of useful data were analyzed by descriptive statistics, factor analysis, reliability analysis, t-test, chi-squared test, ANOVA and Duncan-test using SPSS 21.0. The results of this study were as follows. First, there were significant differences in clothing purchase behavior of purchase frequency, purchase item, purchase price, and purchase channel according to gender; therefore marketers need plan different merchandising and retailing strategies between man's wear and woman's wear. Second. the result of cluster analysis by shopping orientation showed that active seniors were categorized into four groups including 'active shopping pursuit', 'economic/pleasure pursuit', 'convenience/brand pursuit', and 'passive shopping pursuit'. Third, there were significant differences in demographic variables such as gender and occupation according to four categorized groups. In addition, the significant differences of clothing purchase behaviors were verified according to four groups. 'Active shopping pursuit' group was shown to make the best use of offline channels and online channels in information research and product purchase.

The purpose of this study was to use phenomenological perspectives to identify the meaning and structure of the observational experience of labor and delivery by student nurses in the clinical setting. The participants were 115 junior and senior students from Christian College of Nursing in Kwang Ju. The students were asked to write about their observational experience in the delivery room. Colaizzi's method was used for phenomenological analysis. The investigator analysed the data to identify and categorize themes and basic structural elements. Twelve themes and eight basic structure were identified. The process of the observational experience in labor and delivery has three proposed phases : anticipatory, observational and post-observational. In the anticipatory phase, nursing students were related only to the event of anticipated labor and delivery of clients. Structure 1, feeling of expectation and fear, was identified. In the observational phase, students were related to the labor and delivery situation, a woman delivered and a newborn. Structure 2, shock and suffering, was identified in relation to the labor and delivery situation. Structure 3, need for caring and satisfaction, was identified in relation to the woman delivered. Structure 4, feeling of mystery and joy, was identified in relation to the newborn. In the post-observational phase, relations between students and the life of a human being, students and self in the future, students and their mothers and students and women and God appeared. And in these relations 〈structure 5, valuable〉, 〈structure 6, feeling of expectation and fear〉, 〈structure 7, love and appreciation〉 and 〈structure 8, greatness〉 were identified.
