  • This paper presents experiment and bearing capacity analyses of steel dual-lintel column (SDC) joints in Chinese traditional style buildings. Two SDC interior joints and two SDC exterior joints, which consisted of dual box-section lintels, circular column and square column, were designed and tested under low cyclic loading. The force transferring mechanisms at the panel zone of SDC joints were proposed. And also, the load-strain curves at the panel zone, failure modes, hysteretic loops and skeleton curves of the joints were analyzed. It is shown that the typical failure modes of the joints are shear buckling at bottom panel zone, bending failure at middle panel zone, welds fracturing at the panel zone, and tension failure of base metal in the heat-affected zone of the joints. The ultimate bearing capacity of SDC joints appears to decrease with the increment of axial compression ratio. However, the bearing capacities of exterior joints are lower than those of interior joints at the same axial compression ratio. In order to predict the formulas of the bending capacity at the middle panel zone and the shear capacity at the bottom panel zone, the calculation model and the stress state of the element at the panel zone of SDC joints were studied. As the calculated values showed good agreements with the test results, the proposed formulas can be reliably applied to the analysis and design of SDC joints in Chinese traditional style buildings.

  • Indonesia has a wealth of traditional textiles that are spread in every corner of its region, each of them has its own characteristics and uniquennes. Among the diversity of decorative and techniques used, there are also peculiarities arising from the coloring techniques, that is staining with natural dyes. The existence and the authenticity of the coloring techniques are still retained in some places in Indonesia until today. Generally, these societies make the fabric-making process as part of the ritual beliefs. One of which are the societies in Tenganan, Bali, an area in Bali which always use fabric as an important part in every traditional ceremony. The fabrics is known by the name Geringsing. The typically color which shown and also the sacred values that accompany make Geringsing a very special woven fabric and cannot be found in other areas. This is one of the local geniuses that need to be preserved. In addition to its unique techniques and special materials, Geringsing woven also keeps its myth and its philosophy. The emersion of Geringsing woven closely related to the community trust in God Indra as the main protector deity. The necessary initial process of making Geringsing is holding special ceremony attended by various circles of Tenganan village society. People in Tenganan believe that Geringsing is a precious heritage avoiding all diseases and disorders of evil spirits.

  • With the introduction of generative artificial intelligence(AI) tools such as OpenAI's Sora into the global film industry, including Hollywood, there has been a simultaneous emergence of innovations in film production as well as various crises. These changes are spreading throughout the entire film production process, including scriptwriting, casting, editing, and acting. This study analyzes the impact of AI on the film industry, particularly Hollywood, and explores how this technology might bring about changes in Korean cinema. AI technologies applied in the film industry offer benefits such as reducing production time and costs. However, they also pose threats to many filmmakers and actors who rely on the traditional production methods, leading to ethical and legal issues. In Hollywood blockbuster films, AI technology is used to create realistic visual effects, analyze scripts, and suggest optimal shooting angles. While these applications improve the qualitative level of films, they also reduce the human resources required in traditional film production processes. The impact on the Korean film industry is also noteworthy. Some Korean film production companies are leveraging AI to create films in a more creative and efficient manner. Efforts are being made to analyze audience data using AI and develop storylines that appeal to a larger audience. However, these technological changes are controversial among many Korean filmmakers who prefer traditional production methods. This study provides an in-depth discussion on whether the adoption of AI in the film industry can bring about positive innovation or inevitably lead to crises. It analyzes how AI technology is transforming traditional roles in the film industry and what new opportunities and challenges this change generates within the industry. Additionally. This study highlights the differences in technology adoption between Hollywood and Korean film industry and explores how each industry is embracing these technological changes.

  • Epilepsy has now become the most serious brain disorder. A number of synthetic antiepileptic drugs are available in practice, however their effectiveness does not grip true with the entire population suffering from epilepsy. Traditional systems of medicine are popular in developing countries and most of the population relies on traditional medicines for their primary health care need. Medicinal plants to be an important source of traditional medicines. Various plants are used for the treatment of epilepsy in traditional system of medicines and various plants are yet to be scientifically investigated. Phyto-constituents have been the basis of treatment of human diseases including epilepsy. Herbal products are extensively used for the treatment of many diseases worldwide and where allopathic fails or has severe side effects. Psycho neural drugs are also have very serious side effects like physical dependence, tolerance, deterioration of cognitive function and effect on respiratory, digestive and immune system. So the treatments through herbal medicines are widely used across the world due to their wide applicability and therapeutic efficacy with least side effects, which in turn has accelerated the research regarding natural therapy. In this review we have summarized some herbal anti-epileptics.

  • To utilize abundant potatoes effectively, it was studied on alcohol fermentation strains which were isolated and identified. Fifteen yeast strains with high alcohol fermentation ability were isolated from rotted potatoes. Among them, two isolated strains, 5-3A and 10-4B showing the highest alcohol fermentation ability were identified as Zygosaccharomyces fermentati based on the morphological and physiological characteristics. Their optimum conditions for the alcohol fermentation in 25% glucose were pH 3.0, 30$^{\circ}C$ and 150 rpm of shaking speed, respectively.

  • Purpose - This research examines the effects of local universities on urban regeneration to recover commercial supremacy in the original urban area and provides clear information on the "University Cooperation Project for Traditional Market." Research design, data, and methodology - The "University Cooperation Project for Traditional Market" started in 2015. This study was conducted focusing on 22 places selected in 2015 and the project content in those locations. Results - This study analyzes the link to urban regeneration and spreads the concept along with theoretical consideration of university cooperation for traditional markets. Additionally, it promotes policies to help propel the project based on characteristics of the region. Conclusions - A differentiated project should be created, with characteristics of the region reflected, and detailed programs developed and implemented resulting in meaningful achievement from the perspective of members of the local community, who may have deviated from existing perspectives. Additionally, opportunities should be established for the direct application of young consumer ideas through experimental business to regenerate the traditional market (commercial supremacy), the center of the local economic society.

  • As student-centered learning grows, formative peer assessment practices have been universally used in various fields. According to the review of traditional peer assessment practices, the formative peer assessment has five common stages: planning, assessing (giving feedback), receiving feedback, reflection, and revising. As the each stage of traditional formative peer assessment has some weaknesses, the study discusses solutions that are recommended for dealing with the problems by introducing the potential benefits of web-based peer assessment. Then, desirable future trends of web-based peer assessment are suggested. The author hopes that understanding the potential benefits of web-based formative peer assessment will promote the proper use of peer assessment and render positive effect on student learning.
