  • Rapid developments in technology as part of the Fourth Industrial Revolution have created a demand for educational technology (EdTech) and a gradual transition from traditional teaching and learning to EdTech-assisted learning in medical education. EdTech is a portmanteau (blended word) combining the concepts of education and technology, and it refers to various attempts to solve education-related problems through information and communication technology. The aim of this study was to explore the use of key EdTech applications in medical education programs. A scoping review was conducted by searching three databases (PubMed, CINAHL, and Educational Sources) for articles published from 2000 to June 2021. Twenty-one studies were found that presented relevant descriptions of the effectiveness of EdTech in medical education programs. Studies on the application and effectiveness of EdTech were categorized as follows: (1) artificial intelligence with learner-adaptive evaluation and feedback, (2) augmented/virtual reality for improving learning participation and academic achievement through immersive learning, and (3) social media/social networking services with learner-directed knowledge generation, sharing, and dissemination in medical communities. Although this review reports the effectiveness of EdTech in various medical education programs, the number of studies and the validity of the identified research designs are insufficient to confirm the educational effects of EdTech. Future studies should utilize suitable research designs and examine the instructional objectives achievable by EdTech-based applications to strengthen the evidence base supporting the application of EdTech by medical educators and institutions.

  • The convergence of education and technology has been emphasized, leading to the application of educational technology (EdTech) in the field of education. EdTech provides learner-centered, customized learning environments through various media and learning situations. In this paper, we designed hardware for EdTech-based educational tools for IoT security education in the field of cybersecurity education. The hardware is based on a dual microcontroller unit (MCU) within a single board, allowing for both attack and defense to be performed. To leverage various sensors in the Internet of Things (IoT), the hardware is modularly designed. From an educational perspective, utilizing EdTech in cybersecurity education enhances engagement by incorporating tangible physical teaching aids. The proposed research suggests that the design of IoT security education hardware can serve as a reference for simplifying the creation of a security education environment for embedded hardware, software, sensor networks, and other areas that are challenging to address in traditional education..

  • The asphalt antistripping agents were synthesized from ethylenediamine (ED) or N,N'-bis(2-hydroxyethyl)ethylenediamine (HEED) with three different fatty acids. The formation of amide bonds were successfully performed and confirmed by FT-IR and $^1H-NMR$ data. The adhesive properties of antistripping agents were compared in terms of contact angle and BBS test. The reaction product of ED with waste animal fat exhibited the most hydrophobic by the contact angle measurement, and the strongest water resistance of 94 % by BBS test. However, the reaction product of ED with waste vegetable oil showed the strongest absolute bond strength of ca. 3610 and 3227 kPa for before and after water conditioning, respectively. For the bond strength in general, the reaction products of ED were superior to HEED reaction products, and the reaction products of animal fat and waste vegetable oil were superior to those of pure soybean oil.

  • Artificial intelligence(AI) is spurring advancements in EdTech, the merger of technology and education. This includes the creation of effective learning materials and personalized student experiences. Our study focuses on developing a programming education software that employs state-of-the-art generative AI. Our software also includes prompts optimized for programming code analysis, which are based on the well-known ChatGPT API. Furthermore, the necessary functions for acquiring programming skills were created with a user interface and developed as a question-and-answer template function based on an AI chatbot. The objective of this study is to guide the development of educational programmes that make use of generative AI.

  • In this study, we evaluated the effect of fibrin, a natural material, on the local inflammatory reaction of PLGA in vivo. PLGA degradation products can decrease the pH in the surrounding tissue, causing local inflammatory reaction. To solve this problem, fibrin/PLGA scaffolds were implanted in 5-week-old Wister rats. To evaluate the influence of fibrin content on inflammatory cytokine expression induced by PLGA, RT-PCR analysis was used. Fibrous wall thickness and macrophage infiltration were evaluated by H&E and ED-1 immunohistochemical staining, respectively. In this study, we showed that fibrin/PLGA scaffolds reduced inflammatory reaction as compared to PLGA scaffold. We concluded that fibrin could reduce inflammatory response of PLGA.

  • Novel chitosan beads containing a series of bisamino-terminated polyethylene glycol (Bisamino-PEG, $Jeffamine^{(R)}ED$ series) have been prepared via capillary extrusion method using an alkaline solution. The results of swelling kinetics of chitosan beads showed that as the chain length of PEG in chitosan beads increased, the swelling process of the beads proceeded slowly. In order to study the releasing kinetics quantitatively, fluorescamine was coupled to the pendant amino groups and the releasing processes were followed by UV spectra. The results revealed that the releasing process was retarded in the order of $Jeffamine^{(R)}ED$-600 < $Jeffamine^{(R)}ED$-900 < $Jeffamine^{(R)}ED$-2001 as the chain length of PEG was increased. The slow release of PEG from the beads is considered to be governed by the chain length of PEG and interpolymeric hydrogen bonding between PEG and the chitosan molecule.

  • Hydroxyapatite has osteoconductivity, biocompatibility and noninflammatory, and it has been used clinically as artificial bone. In this study, we prepared hydroxyapatite/poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) scaffolds using 0, 10, 20, 40 and 60 wt% of hydroxyapatite. We analyzed compressive strength, SEM analysis and FTIR for mechanical property of 3D hydroxyapatite/PLGA scaffolds. For biocompatibility tests, cell proliferation and viability were measured via MTT assay and SEM. We analyzed RT-PCR, FACS, histology (H&E, ED-1) for anti-inflammatory effect. This study showed that hydroxyapatite hybrid scaffolds have low inflammatory reaction compared with the PLGA. This result has a potential for the application of artificial bone graft material.

  • A pilot-scale electrodialysis system was designed and constructed to treat groundwater polluted with arsenic and manganese. Synthetic groundwater, in which some amount of arsenic and manganese was added to make 500 mg/L of Mn and $50{\mu}g/L$ of As, was used as a feed for the ED system. The limiting current density, linear water velocity, applied voltage, and membrane surface area were investigated to obtain efficient and economic operation of the ED system. The linear water velocity was increased 0.74 cm/s to 11 cm/s based on evaluation of limiting current density. The water quality of diluate for 85 minutes of operation was satisfied with water quality criteria for drinking water using the ED system with 14 pairs of ion exchange membranes. The increased membrane pairs to 21 and 42 pairs were very effective to reduce conductivities of the diluate. The operation cost of the ED system was assessed using specific energy consumption, which was $1.065{\sim}1.2kWh/m^3$. Considering low salt concentrations of the groundwater, improvement of the ED system are required to increase current utilization and to apply low voltage while the ED system was applicable to produce drinking water.
