For Korean researchers, English is essential. In fact, this is the case for any researcher who is a non-native English speaker, as recognition and success is predicated on being published, while publications that reach the broadest audiences are in English. Unfortunately, university science and engineering programs in Korea often do not provide formal coursework to help students attain greater competence in English composition. Aggravating this situation is the general lack of literature covering this specific pedagogical issue. While there is plenty of information to help native speakers with technical writing and much covering general English composition for EFL learners, there is very little information available to help EFL learners become better technical writers. Thus, the purpose of this report is twofold. First, as most Korean educators in science and engineering are not well acquainted with pedagogical issues of EFL writing, this report provides a general introduction to some relevant issues. It reviews the importance of contrastive rhetoric as well as some considerations for choosing the appropriate teaching approach, class arrangement, and use of computer assisted learning tools. Secondly, a course proposal is discussed. Based on a review of student writing samples as well as student responses to a self-assessment questionnaire, the proposed course is intended to balance the needs of Korean EFL learners to develop grammar, process, and genre skills involved in technical writing. Although, the scope of this report is very modest, by sharing the considerations made towards the development of an EFL technical writing course it seeks to provide a small example to a field that is perhaps lacking examples.

The purpose of this study is to identify trends and to analyze knowledge structure and knowledge flow of studies on science and technology policy adopting the keyword network analysis. For analysis, we established a data set of published papers in the Journal of Korea Technology Innovation Society and Journal of Technology Innovation from 1993 to 2016. As a result of analysis, a great part of existing researches have been carried out in Seoul and Daejeon area, universities and public research institute. So it should be carried out in diversified form rather than being concentrated on specific regions or research performing subjects in the future. By research scope, more than 70% of research were carried out in 'R&D management' and 'technology innovation'. In the future, more research must be carried out in 'public process of science and technology' and 'public management of science and technology'. On the other hand, we performed the keyword network analysis to identify the knowledge structure of studies on science and technology policy. As a result of analysis, it was clustered into 'public process of science and technology', 'public management of science and technology', 'R&D management' and 'technology innovation', So It has not been different from research scope proposed by Yi, Kim and Oh(2016). And also, in earlier stage, research topics were general such as researchers and R&D investment. But as time goes by, topics were more diversified and subdivided. Therefore, in future, the research scope of studies on science and technology policy should be further expanded in terms of 'public process of science and technology', 'public management of science and technology', 'R&D management' and 'technology innovation', and systematic knowledge structure should be formed.

Background: In order to emphasize the importance of clinical dental hygienists-led dental hygiene management processes for those with systemic diseases, we tried to identify systemic diseases affecting dental implants based on clinical data. Methods: In order to identify systemic diseases affecting dental implants, literature review was conducted from March 1 to May 31, 2023, and the search period was for research papers published in domestic and foreign academic journals from January 2000 to December 2020. Domestic databases used for search use RISS, Nuri Media(DBpia), and Korea Academic Information (http://www.papersearch.net ; KISS), while overseas databases searched Pubmed for dental implant failures, implants, systemic diseases, and Dental implant and system disease. Results: The cumulative survival rate of implants averaged 94.3 percent and the failure rate was 5.7 percent. Clinical analysis of systemic diseases related to implants accounted for the highest frequency with 13 (100.0%), followed by 8 (61.5%) studies on high blood pressure and smoking, 7 (53.8%) cardiovascular diseases, and 5 (38.5%). In addition, liver disease, thyroid abnormalities, blood abnormalities, organ transplants and infectious diseases were confirmed. Conclusion: Since unregulated systemic diseases are a risk factor for implant failure, clinical dental hygienists should continue to maintain healthy oral conditions by sharing information with patients during periodic preventive dental hygiene management processes such as dental hygiene assessment.

Multicultural families have literally started to settle in Korea since the late 1980s, yet it was not until the middle of 2000 that multicultural education was actually arisen with its full-scale discussions. Domestic studies on multicultural education have now remarkably been conducted in various aspects and points of views, but with no certain level of collective and comprehensive analysis yet. To seek Korean way of finding out appropriate solutions to its multicultural society, a contemporary major trend in the world, it is necessary to keep developing the theory and practice in Korean multicultural education with constructive criticism over the development. In this thesis, the research trends and characteristics of Korea multicultural education are analyzed according to the three categories: the times of the study, the subjects of the study, and the themes of the study. The analysis of the study themes, in particular, is done based on the four core areas presented by Bennett: equity pedagogy, curriculum reform, multicultural competence, and societal equity. Furthermore, the analysis includes the five additional Korean sub-categories, which are also acquired in the process of our analysis of the thesis: multiculturalism, global multicultural education, counselling research, measurement development, and citizenship education, added to Bennett's three sub-ones of each area. Overall, based on the analysis data, this study investigates further improvements and subsequent research themes in the following researches on Korean multicultural education.
