Installation Personas: A Persona-Centered Framework for AI-Driven Interactive Art Installations

Artificial intelligence (AI) is enabling interactive art installations to become increasingly adaptive and socially interactive, yet limited conceptual guidance exists for analyzing installations themselves as persona-like entities. In this study, the Installation Persona Framewo...

Cdc2-related kinases and cyclin partners as regulators of the Trypanosoma brucei cell cycle: Current evidence and unresolved questions

Trypanosoma brucei, the protozoan parasite responsible for African trypanosomiasis, undergoes a divergent cell cycle characterized by closed mitosis, inheritance of single-copy organelles such as the kinetoplast, basal body, and flagellum, and anterior-to-posterior longitudinal c...

Long-Term Outcomes According to a Device-Assisted Enteroscopy Strategy after Capsule Endoscopy in Patients with Small Bowel Bleeding: A Nationwide Population-Based Cohort Study

Background/Aims: Although the use of device-assisted enteroscopy (DAE) has increased, few large-scale studies have examined long-term outcomes focused on small bowel (SB) bleeding. We analyzed National Health Insurance Service data to evaluate the clinical utility of DAE in patie...

Effect of Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy in Reducing Intestinal Edema After Traumatic Liver Injury with Abdominal Packing: An Experimental Animal Study

Background: Traumatic liver injury in severe trauma and temporary abdominal closure can lead to postoperative intestinal edema and inflammation. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) may mitigate these effects by modulating inflammatory pathways. This study investigated the effects of...

Variational Auto Encoder for automated structure segmentation of materials

Atomic-scale structural heterogeneity plays a crucial role in determining the properties of nanomaterials and complex energy systems. High-resolution STEM imaging provides critical insights into these structures, but conventional segmentation techniques often struggle with intric...

The Multiple Mediating Effects of Emotional Isolation and Loneliness on the Influence of Physical Isolation on Depression among Emerging Adults

Background: This study investigated the serial mediating effects of emotional isolation and loneliness on the influence of physical isolation on depression among emerging adults. Methods: Using raw data from the 2022 Seoul Isolated and Reclusive Youth Survey, a statistical analys...

The Moderated Moderating Effect of Sleep Deprivation and Negative Parenting Attitudes on the Association between ADHD Traits and Anxiety among Middle School Students

Background: This study examined the moderated moderating effect of sleep deprivation and negative parenting attitudes on the association between attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) traits and anxiety among middle school students.Methods: Data from 1,948 middle school...

Automation of the Hemostasis Laboratory: Implementation and Future Directions

linked as modular systems or by a conveyor track, and check-in, sorting, decapping, centrifugation, aliquoting, sealing, and storage are all performed under middleware control [2, 3].According to surveys performed in Europe and the United States, more than half of laboratories us...

A Retrospective Multicenter Study of Measles Seropositivity in Korea from 2014 to 2024

Background: Measles is a highly contagious viral disease requiring high herd immunity.Although the Republic of Korea has maintained measles elimination through national immunization programs, sporadic cases continue to occur.We evaluated age-and period-specific measles immunity l...

Skin-Protective Effects of a Rhamnose-Enriched Fraction Isolated from Halocynthia roretzi Tunics Against Particulate Matter-Induced Oxidative and Barrier Damage

Particulate matter (PM) is a major environmental pollutant that induces excessive reactive oxygen species (ROS) production in the skin, leading to inflammatory responses and disruption of skin barrier integrity. The tunic of Halocynthia roretzi, an underutilized marine by-product...

Composite polymer electrolytes incorporating gallium-doped Li7La3Zr2O12 nanofillers for high-performance all-solid-state lithium metal batteries

Lithium-ion batteries using organic liquid electrolytes face safety issues, such as flammability and explosion risks, along with low energy density. To address these limitations, we develop a composite polymer electrolyte (CPE) as a safer, higher energy density alternative. The o...

Long-term surveillance reveals weak coupling between chigger burden on Apodemus agrarius and Orientia tsutsugamushi pool positivity

Long-term vector surveillance often reports ectoparasite burden and pooled pathogen detection together, but their quantitative relationship is rarely tested. We analysed rodent-associated chigger surveillance conducted from 2018 to 2025 across five habitat strata in Yesan-si, Rep...

Lobular carcinoma as a spectrum: resolving the gray zone between morphology, E-cadherin, and CDH1

Invasive lobular carcinoma (ILC) is characterized by E-cadherin loss resulting from CDH1 inactivation, but discordance among morphology, immunohistochemistry (IHC), and molecular findings can complicate diagnosis. We integrated histology, IHC, DNA sequencing, and whole-transcript...

Extended treatment duration and recurrence in successfully treated drug-susceptible pulmonary tuberculosis with cavity on chest radiograph

Background Cavity on chest radiograph is recognized as an independent risk factor for recurrence in pulmonary tuberculosis (TB), but evidence supporting extended treatment in these patients remains limited, particularly in real-world data from Korea. Methods We performed a retros...

A Case of Gastric Juvenile-Type Polyposis With SMAD4 Mutation

Juvenile polyposis syndrome (JPS) is a rare autosomal-dominant disorder characterized by the presence of multiple hamartomatous polyps in the gastrointestinal tract. JPS has been established to be attributable to SMAD4 mutations, which are frequently associated with severe gastri...

Directionally Aligned, Defect-Suppressed Non-oxidatively Exfoliated Graphene Flakes for High EMI Shielding Performance

Abstract In this study, we report the development of high-performance electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding composites incorporating directionally aligned non-oxidatively exfoliated graphene flakes (NOGF) within a polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) matrix. The NOGF was synthesize...

Polyphenols as Multi-Target Regulators of Oxidative Stress, Mitochondrial Function, and Cell Survival Signaling in Skin Diseases

Bioactive polyphenols have emerged as multi-target regulators of cellular processes involved in the pathogenesis of skin diseases. Skin disorders, including inflammatory conditions, photoaging, and skin cancers, are characterized by complex pathogenic mechanisms associated with o...

“Not Physical Enough”: Corporeal Writing in Theresa Hak Kyung Cha’s Dictée

This essay reads Theresa Hak Kyung Cha’s Dictée (1982) through Jacques Derrida’s conceptions of re-mark and shibboleth, arguing that the text’s formal anarchy constitutes a sustained challenge to the hierarchical binaries—speech and writing, original and copy, history and literat...
