Exploring the Co-Intelligence Gap in ChatGPT Utilization between Developed and Low and Middle Income Countries: An Experimental Design Based on Mollick’s Four Principles of AI Collaboration

Generative AI is evolving beyond a simple tool into a “Co-Intelligence” partner that collaborates with humans, serving as a fundamental basis for the progression toward Artificial General Intelligence (AGI). However, this advancement implies the potential to restructure inequalit...

Current and Future Priorities for School Food and Nutrition Education in South Korea: Perspectives of Nutrition Teachers

Background/Objectives: School-based food and nutrition education is an important public health strategy for developing healthy dietary behaviors during childhood and adolescence. However, limited qualitative evidence describes how nutrition teachers, who are simultaneously respon...

Efficacy of D-Mannose in the Management of Urinary Tract Infections: From Acute Treatment to Long-term Prophylaxis — A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis

Purpose: To evaluate the efficacy of D-mannose for preventing recurrent urinary tract infections (UTIs), including in kidney transplant recipients, and to clarify discrepancies between early openlabel and placebo-controlled trials.Materials and Methods: PubMed, Embase, CENTRAL (C...

Food choice motives and diet quality in Korean adults: sex- and age-specific associations with implications for health promotion

Abstract Objectives To examine associations between food choice motives and diet quality in Korean adults and whether these associations vary by sex and age. Methods We analyzed cross-sectional data from an online survey of adults aged 20–64 years in Korea ( n = 1,829). Food choi...

Development of a customized three-dimensional bolus using transparent gel wax and its application in electron beam therapy

Abstract Purpose: This study aimed to develop a customized bolus using commercially available transparent gel wax (TGW) without requiring 3D printing technology and to evaluate its applicability in radiotherapy, including its physical and dosimetric characteristics. Methods: A de...

Janus Reactivity of a Mononuclear Non‐Heme Iron(III)‐Peroxo Complex Toward Indole Oxidation

ABSTRACT Indole oxidation reaction is a pivotal process in organic chemistry, playing a crucial role in the synthesis of various natural products and pharmaceuticals. To‐date, indole oxidation is limited to heme enzymes and synthetic iron porphyrin compounds. Herein, we demonstra...

Beyond the Oxo‐Wall: Synthesis and Reactivity of a Six‐Coordinate Formally Co IV ‐Oxo Complex

ABSTRACT Despite their implication in a number of oxidation processes, there is a paucity of well‐characterized high‐valent cobalt‐oxo complexes. In this study, we present the first example of a six‐coordinate formally Co(IV)‐oxo complex, [Co(TQA)(O)(OH)] + ( 1 , TQA = tris(2‐qui...

The paradox of human capital? Gendered precarious labor in the Korean Confucian gender regime

Purpose This study investigates the gendered dynamics of precarious labor in South Korea, an underexplored context in international scholarship. It examines how Confucian-influenced patriarchal norms relate to women's exposure to insecure employment despite rising educational att...

ChatGPT for pulmonary rehabilitation in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease is clinically credible but challenging for patients to use
