Purpose: Clostridium difficile colonization and infection are commonly associated with poor outcomes in patients with pediatric inflammatory bowel disease (PIBD). We aimed to investigate the prevalence of C. difficile colonization and infection at the time of diagnosis and to evaluate risk factors associated with the development of C. difficile infection during the course of PIBD treatment. Methods: We retrospectively enrolled a total of 59 children who were newly diagnosed with PIBD at the tertiary medical center. All patients underwent C. difficile toxin assays and cultures initially and at every follow-up during the disease course. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis and Cox regression test were used for statistical analysis. Results: Initial cultures for C. difficile were positive in 13 (22.0%) of 59 PIBD patients, whereas initial toxin assays were positive in 3 patients (5.1%). During treatment, C. difficile cultures converted to positive in 28 (47.5%) in addition to 13 patients who were initially culture-positive, and C. difficile toxins converted to positive in 13 (22.0%) in addition to 3 originally toxin-positive patients. Antibiotic usage alone was significantly associated with the development of C. difficile colonization (p=0.011), and the length of hospitalization was associated with the development of C. difficile infection (p=0.032). Conclusion: C. difficile colonization and infection occur frequently during the disease course of PIBD. Antibiotic usage and longer hospital stay were significant risks factors for the conversion of C. difficile status in PIBD patients undergoing treatment.

The rapid development of science & technology and the globalization of society have accelerated the fractionation and specialization of academic disciplines. Accordingly, Korean colleges and universities are continually dropping antiquated courses to make room for new courses that better meet societal demands. With emphasis placed on providing students with a broader range of choices in terms of course selection, compulsory courses have given way to elective courses. On average, 4 year institutions of higher learning in Korea currently offer somewhere in the neighborhood of 1,000 different courses yearly. The classification of an ever growing list of courses offered and the practical use of such data would not be possible without the aid of computers. For example, if we were able to show the pre/post requisite relationship among various courses as well as the commonalities in substance among courses, such data generated regarding the interrelationship of different courses would undoubtedly greatly benefit the students, as well as the professors, during course registration. Furthermore, the GT system's relatively simple approach to course classification and coding will obviate the need for the development of a more complicated keyword based search engine, and hopefully contribute to the standardization of the course coding scheme in the future..Therefore, as a sample case project, this study will use GT to classify and code all courses offered at the College of Engineering of K University, thereby developing a system that will facilitate the scanning of relevant courses.

The purpose of this study was to develop and apply the elementary teacher training course for educational programming language based on TPACK in order to make elementary school teachers fully equipped with teaching efficacy for SW education. As a result, the informatics teaching efficacy of the teachers in the experimental group who participated in EPL training course developed based on TPACK was statistically more significant than the teachers in the control group(t=4.13, p<.001). The dependent sample t-test of the experimental group showed a statistically significant increase with t=4.57 (p< .001). It proved that TPACK-based teachers' training course is effective to improve teachers' informatics teaching efficacy. It is suggested that the development of SW education teacher training course should be systematically structured considering TPACK framework.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to survey the present status of the gerontological nursing course in Baccalaureate degree programs(BSN) in Korea, so as to provide basic data for developing a standard model for a gerontological nursing curriculum. Method: Data on the contents of a gerontological nursing curriculum was collected from those programs that had a gerontological nursing course. Result: The results show that 48 schools(87.3%) offered a gerontological nursing course. Twenty-five schools(45.5%) had both lectures and clinical practicum, while 23 schools(41.8%) had only lectures. Twenty-seven schools(56%) offered a gerontological nursing course as an elective. Students earned the most number of credits in their senior year. The most common credit system for lecture subjects was 2 credits with 38 schools(79.2%) and a clinical practicum was 1 credit with 20 schools(80%). The issues identified were that gerontological nursing was an elective and not a mandatory course, a lack of clinical lab hours, and a lack of common learning objectives. Conclusion: Recommendations are made for better defined curricula in gerontological nursing. In addition, further investigations of the learners or students entering gerontological nursing to facilitate curriculum development and appropriate instructional strategies are needed.

Interest in creativity and fusion in education has led to a lot of research on integrated education. Most of those research were related to integrated education model and educational contents development, so there were insufficient research on planning a course for integrated education. In this study, we developed an integrated education framework as an guidance for teachers on how to plan a course for integrated education. With this, we analyzed successful cases of integrated education. In the result of analysis, we figured out the relations and characteristics between three course types of subjects and four participation types of teachers. On the findings, we suggested an integrated education framework composed of four stages focused on course plan and proposed some considerations for each stage.
