Objectives : This study was performed to review the efficacy of national and international randomized controlled trials (RCTs) investigating evidence on thread embedding therapy for knee osteoarthritis. Methods : Online databases (PubMed, EMBASE, Cochrane, NDSL, OASIS, CNKI) were searched for studies where thread embedding therapy was performed for Knee Osteoarthritis from their inception to July 2018. Two researchers independently performed the search. Only RCTs were selected. Eligible studies were selected first by the abstract and the title and then included after full-texts were read. Risk of bias of the included studies were evaluated using the Cochrane risk of bias assessment tool. Data were narratively summarized. Results : There were 334 studies retrieved from the databases, resulting in analysis of 3 RCTs. There was an average of 1.5 treatment visits over a 7 day period and evaluation tool used was efficacy rate, with traditional acupuncture being the most common control used in the trials. Statistically significant improvement by thread embedding therapy was reported. None of the included RCTs reported on adverse reactions. The risk of bias of the included studies was generally unclear. Conclusion : The review suggests that thread embedding therapy can be effective in knee osteoarthritis. But there was a lack of detailed information about the treatment procedures, and the risk of bias was unclear. Therefore, there is insufficient evidence for thread embedding therapy for knee osteoarthritis.

In the glocal era, the competitiveness of local authorities leads to national competitiveness. Even though they have competitively adopted slogans to stay competitive, the process has not been systematic. The goal of this study is to provide basic data needed to develop and utilize urban brand slogans effectively. In terms of a research scope, 48 slogans currently in use by 24 local authorities of Gyeongsangbuk-do as of April 2020 were chosen. Concerning the lingual representation of such slogans, diverse languages such as Korean, English and Sino-Korean have been used. In terms of meaning of meaning and material type, there was a lack of coherence among the slogans. In addition, they were poor in representing identity, and abstract image upgrade types were commonly found. It is anticipated that the study results would make a contribution to the development of urban brand slogans and value generation.

Abstract Recently, with the development of IoT technology and communication media, various video equipment is being used in industrial fields. Image data acquired from cameras and sensors are easily affected by noise during transmission and reception, and noise removal is essential as it greatly affects system reliability. In this paper, we propose a weight filter algorithm based on the pixel value distribution pattern to preserve details in the process of restoring images damaged in AWGN. The proposed algorithm calculates weights according to the pixel value distribution pattern of the image and restores the image by applying a filtering mask. In order to analyze the noise removal performance of the proposed algorithm, it was simulated using enlarged image and PSNR compared to the existing method. The proposed algorithm preserves important characteristics of the image and shows the performance of efficiently removing noise compared to the existing method.

PURPOSE: This study analyzed the trends and characteristics of shoulder rehabilitation research through keyword analysis, and their relationships were modeled using text mining techniques. METHODS: Abstract data of 10,121 articles in which abstracts were registered on the MEDLINE of PubMed with 'shoulder' and 'rehabilitation' as keywords were collected using python. By analyzing the frequency of words, 10 keywords were selected in the order of the highest frequency. Word-embedding was performed using the word2vec technique to analyze the similarity of words. In addition, the groups were classified and analyzed based on the distance (cosine similarity) through the t-SNE technique. RESULTS: The number of studies related to shoulder rehabilitation is increasing year after year, keywords most frequently used in relation to shoulder rehabilitation studies are 'patient', 'pain', and 'treatment'. The word2vec results showed that the words were highly correlated with 12 keywords from studies related to shoulder rehabilitation. Furthermore, through t-SNE, the keywords of the studies were divided into 5 groups. CONCLUSION: This study was the first study to model the keywords and their relationships that make up the abstracts of research in the MEDLINE of Pub Med related to 'shoulder' and 'rehabilitation' using text-mining techniques. The results of this study will help increase the diversifying research topics of shoulder rehabilitation studies to be conducted in the future.

Smart learning is augmented with digital, context-aware, and adaptable technologies to encourage students to learn better and faster. To ensure that digital learning is successful and that implementation is efficient, it is critical that the dimensions of digital learning are arranged correctly and that interactions between the various elements are merged in an efficient and optimal manner. This paper builds and discusses a basic framework for smart learning in the digital age, aimed to improve students' abilities and performance in learning. The proposed framework consists of five dimensions: Teacher, Technology, Learner, Digital content, and Evaluation. The Teacher and Learner dimensions operate on two levels: (a) an abstract level to fit in knowledge and skills or interpersonal characteristics and (b) a concrete level in the form of digital devices used by teachers and learners. Moreover, this paper proposes asynchronous online course delivery model. An Arabic smart learning platform has been developed, based on these smart learning core dimensions and the asynchronous online course delivery model, because despite the official status of this language in many countries, there is a lack of Arabic platforms to teach Arabic. Moreover, many non-native Arabic speakers around the world have expressed an interest in learning it. The Arabic digital platform consists of over 70 lessons classified into three competence levels: beginner, intermediate, and advanced, delivered by Arabic experts and Arabic linguists from various Arab countries. The five dimensions are described for the Arabic platform in this paper. Learner dimension is the Arabic and non-Arabic speakers, Teacher dimension is Arabic experts and Arabic linguistics, Technology dimension consists of technology for Arabic platform that includes web design, cloud computing, big data, etc. The digital contents dimension consists of web-based video, records, etc. The evaluation dimension consists of Teachers rating, comments, and surveys.

The aim of this study is to provide basic data that can contribute to improving successful clinical adaptation and reducing turnover of new graduate nurses by analyzing research related to reality shock experienced by new graduate nurses using text network analysis. The topics of reality shock experienced by new graduate nurses were extracted from 115 papers published in domestic and foreign journals from January 2002 to December 2021. Articles were retrieved from 6 databases (Korean DB: DBpia, KISS, RISS /International DB: Web of science, Springer, Scopus). Keywords were extracted from the abstract and organized using semantic morphemes. Network analysis and topic modeling for subject knowledge structure analysis were performed using NetMiner 4.5.0 program. The core keywords included 'new graduate nurses', 'reality shock', 'transition', 'student nurse', 'experience', 'practice', 'work environment', 'role', 'care' and 'education'. In recent articles on reality shock experienced by new graduate nurses, three major topics were extracted by LDA (Latent Dirichlet Allocation) techniques: 'turnover', 'work environment', 'experience of transition'. Based on this research, the necessity of interventional research that can effectively reduce the reality shock experienced by new graduate nurses and successfully help clinical adaptation is suggested.

Purpose: This study attempted to systematically review the programs of patients with post-traumatic stress disorder in South Korea over the past decade, identify specific methods and effects, and present program guidance guidelines through them. Research design, data and methodology: This study is a systematic literature review, and studies registered in the RISS, NDSL, DBpia, and KmBASE search databases from January 1, 2013 to August 31, 2023 were targeted. Keywords were 'post-traumatic stress disorder', 'program' or 'treatment'. A total of 2,324 documents were searched, and 237 duplicate papers were excluded. After that, the title and abstract were viewed, and 2,058 papers that did not meet the inclusion criteria and exclusion criteria were excluded. In addition, the full text was checked and the final 11 documents were analyzed excluding 18 documents. Results: Among the 11 literatures, 45.45% of randomized control studies and 54.54% of non-randomized control studies were found. As for gender, 41.18% of women, 28.64% of 30-39 years old, and 34.27% of trauma causes were industrial accidents. Programs for patients with post-traumatic stress disorder were classified into art therapy, cognitive behavior therapy, and mindfulness programs, and art therapy was the most used at 45.45%. The sessions of the program were widely applied at 45.45% for 10 sessions and 36.36% for 60 minutes per session. Conclusions: This study has a limitation in that it only analyzed domestic intervention programs within 10 years. However, this study is meaningful in that it is intended to present program guidance guidelines through reviewing domestic programs for post-traumatic stress patients. In the future, it is necessary to conduct research such as expanding the scope of literature review at home and abroad.
