As spine surgery flourished in Taiwan and neurosurgeons became more involved in spine surgery towards the end of the 20th century, the Taiwan Neurosurgical Spine Society (TNSS), earlier named the Taiwan Neurospinal Society, was established on March 11, 2001. As its main founder, Dr. Chun-I Huang was elected as the first president of the TNSS. The goals of the TNSS were to promote research, to hold academic seminars, to participate in international conferences, and to exchange clinical experiences. The mission of the TNSS was successful, and the profession of spine surgery in Taiwan advanced during the first decade of the 21st century, culminating in the TNSS joining ASIA SPINE in 2010. Since its establishment, the TNSS has always been supportive of collaboration and communication with the Korean Spinal Neurosurgery Society and the Neurospinal Society of Japan. Through periodical meetings, supported by the TNSS, surgeons worldwide have enjoyed a platform of sharing and mutual learning. To further promote academic research, the TNSS has officially supported the journal Neurospine since 2018. With extensive efforts from local and international surgeons, the TNSS will continue to adhere to its mission and to advance the profession of spine surgery.

In the knowledge development of online assessment in learning management systems (LMSs), many assessments are evaluated weekly in the summer training course for undergraduate students in the Faculty of Computing and Information Technology at King Abdul-Aziz University in Saudi Arabia. The number of performance assessments in the summer training course reaches 15 weeks. Many of them, however, are sent or done informally or through unreliable ways and cannot be verified by third parties. Therefore, applying the concept of digital transformation is essential. This research study reported herein used the action design research (ADR) method to build a new information technology system that could assist in the digital transformation. An electronic platform was designed, developed, implemented, and evaluated using the ADR method so that the main people involved in the summer training process (i.e., students, academic supervisors, and administrators) would have a high level of satisfaction with it. The study was conducted on 452 students, 105 academic supervisors, and 15 administrative staff and was conducted during the summer semester of 2020. All the training processes were digitally transformed and automated to control and raise the level and reliability of the training. All involved people were satisfied, thus, shifting the process to be in a digital form assist in achieving the high-level goal.

The present study examined the effects of Korean white ginseng (WG, Panax ginseng C. A. Meyer) on the learning and memory function and the neural activity in rats with trimethyltin (TMT)-induced memory deficits. The rats were administered with saline or WG (WG 100 or 300 mg/kg, p.o.) daily for 21 days. The cognitive improving efficacy of WG on the amnesic rats, which was induced by TMT, was investigated by assessing the Morris water maze test and by performing immunohistochemistries on choline acetyltransferase (ChAT), acetylcholinesterase (AchE), cAMP responsive element binding protein (CREB) and brain derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF). The rats treated with TMT injection (control group) showed impaired learning and memory of the tasks, but the rats treated with TMT injection and WG administration produced significant improvement of the escape latency to find the platform in the Morris water maze at the 2nd and 4th days compared to that of the control group. In the retention test, the WG 100 and WG 300 groups showed significantly increased crossing number around the platform compared to that of the control group (p < 0.001). Consistently with the behavioral data, result of immunohistochemistry analysis showed that WG 100 mg/kg significantly alleviated the loss of BDNF-ir neurons in the hippocampus compared to that of the control group (p < 0.01). Also, treatment with WG has a trend to be increased the cholinergic neurons in the hippocampal CA1 and CA3 areas as compared to that of the control group. These results suggest that WG may be useful for improving the cognitive function via regulation of neurotrophic activity.

Named entity recognition tools are used to identify mentions of biomedical entities in free text and are essential components of high-quality information retrieval and extraction systems. Without good entity recognition, methods will mislabel searched text and will miss important information or identify spurious text that will frustrate users. Most tools do not capture non-contiguous entities which are separate spans of text that together refer to an entity, e.g., the entity "type 1 diabetes" in the phrase "type 1 and type 2 diabetes." This type is commonly found in biomedical texts, especially in lists, where multiple biomedical entities are named in shortened form to avoid repeating words. Most text annotation systems, that enable users to view and edit entity annotations, do not support non-contiguous entities. Therefore, experts cannot even visualize non-contiguous entities, let alone annotate them to build valuable datasets for machine learning methods. To combat this problem and as part of the BLAH6 hackathon, we extended the TextAE platform to allow visualization and annotation of non-contiguous entities. This enables users to add new subspans to existing entities by selecting additional text. We integrate this new functionality with TextAE's existing editing functionality to allow easy changes to entity annotation and editing of relation annotations involving non-contiguous entities, with importing and exporting to the PubAnnotation format. Finally, we roughly quantify the problem across the entire accessible biomedical literature to highlight that there are a substantial number of non-contiguous entities that appear in lists that would be missed by most text mining systems.

소결 북마킹(social bookmarking) 시스템은 사용자가 북마크를 저장하고 공유할 수 있는 플랫폼을 제공하는 웹 기반(web-based) 시스템으로 폭소노미(folksonomy)를 이용한 대표적인 웹2.0 서비스이다. 소셜 북마킹 시스템에서의 스패머(spammer)란 자신들의 이익을 위해서 시스템을 고의적으로 악용하는 사람을 말한다. 스패머는 많은 양의 잘못된 정보를 시스템에 포스팅(posting)하기 때문에 전체 소셜 북마킹 시스템의 리소스(resource)를 쓸모없게 만들어 버린다. 따라서, 스패머를 빠른 시간 안에 탐지하고 그들의 접근을 차단하는 것은 시스템의 붕괴를 방지하기 위해 중요하다. 본 논문에서는 사용자가 사용한 태그에 대한 데이터를 추출하여, 사용자가 스패머 인지 아닌지를 예측하는 모델을 기계학습의 다양한 방법을 적용하여 생성한 후 그 성능을 비교해 보았다. 구체적으로, 결정테이블 (decision table, DT), 결정트리(decision tree, ID3), 나이브 베이즈 분류기($na{\ddot{i}}ve$ Bayes classifier), TAN(tree-augmented $na{\ddot{i}}ve$ Bayes) 분류기, 인공신경망(artificial neural network)의 방법을 비교하였다. 그 결과 AUC(area under the ROC curve)와 모델 생성시간을 고려하였을 때 나이브 베이즈 분류기가 가장 만족할 만한 성능을 보였다. 나이브 베이즈 분류기의 분류 결과가 가장 좋았던 이유는 성능을 비교하는 데 사용된 AUC가 결정트리 계열의 방법(ID3 등)보다 나이브 베이즈 분류기에서 일반적으로 높게 나오는 경향이 있다는 것과, 스패머 탐지 문제가 선형으로 분리 가능한 경우(lineally separable)와 유사할 가능성이 높기 때문으로 여겨진다.

세계적인 전자상거래 기업들은 지속 가능한 경쟁력을 확보하기 위해 사용자 맞춤형 추천 서비스를 제공하고 있다. 기존 관련 연구에서는 주로 평점, 구매 여부 등 정량적 선호도 정보를 사용하여 개인화 추천 서비스를 제공하였다. 하지만 이와 같은 정량적 선호도 정보를 사용하여 개인화 추천 서비스를 제공하면 추천 성능이 저하될 수 있다는 문제점이 제기되고 있다. 호텔을 이용한 사용자가 호텔 서비스, 청결 상태 등에 대하여 만족하지 못한다고 리뷰를 작성하였으나 선호도 평점 5점을 부여했을 때 정량적 선호도(평점)와 정성적 선호도(리뷰)가 불일치한 문제가 발생할 수 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 정량적 선호도 정보와 정성적 선호도 정보가 일치하는지를 확인하고 이를 바탕으로 선호도 정보가 일치하는 사용자를 바탕으로 새로운 프로파일을 구축하여 개인화 추천 서비스를 제공하고자 한다. 리뷰에서 정성적 선호도를 추출하기 위해 자연어 처리 관련 연구에서 널리 사용되고 있는 CNN, LSTM, CNN + LSTM 등 딥러닝 기법을 사용하여 감성분석 모델을 구축하였다. 이를 통해 사용자가 작성한 리뷰에서 정성적 선호도 정보를 정교하게 추출하여 정량적 선호도 정보와 비교하였다. 본 연구에서 제안한 추천 방법론의 성능을 평가하기 위해 세계 최대 여행 플랫폼 TripAdvisor에서 실제 호텔을 이용한 사용자 선호도 정보를 수집하여 사용하였다. 실험 결과 본 연구에서 제안한 추천 방법론이 기존의 정량적 선호도만을 고려하는 추천 방법론보다 우수한 추천 성능을 나타냄을 확인할 수 있었다.

Many studies have shown that the steamed root of Rehmannia glutinosa (SRG), which is widely used in the treatment of various neurodegenerative diseases in the context of Korean traditional medicine, is effective for improving cognitive and memory impairments. The purpose of this study was to examine whether SRG extracts improved memory defects caused by administering scopolamine (SCO) into the brains of rats. The effects of SRG on the acetylcholinergic system and proinflammatory cytokines in the hippocampus were also investigated. Male rats were administered daily doses of SRG (50, 100, and 200 mg/kg, i.p.) for 14 days, 1 h before scopolamine injection (2 mg/kg, i.p.). After inducing cognitive impairment via scopolamine administration, we conducted a passive avoidance test (PAT) and the Morris water maze (MWM) test as behavioral assessments. Changes in cholinergic system reactivity were also examined by measuring the immunoreactive neurons of choline acetyltransferase (ChAT) and the reactivity of acetylcholinesterase (AchE) in the hippocampus. Daily administration of SRG improved memory impairment according to the PAT, and reduced the escape latency for finding the platform in the MWM. The administration of SRG consistently significantly alleviated memory-associated decreases in cholinergic immunoreactivity and decreased interleukin-$1{\beta}$ (IL-$1{\beta}$) and tumor necrosis factor-${\alpha}$ (TNF-${\alpha}$) mRNA expression in the hippocampus. The results demonstrated that SRG had a significant neuroprotective effect against the neuronal impairment and memory dysfunction caused by scopolamine in rats. These results suggest that SRG may be useful for improving cognitive functioning by stimulating cholinergic enzyme activities and alleviating inflammatory responses.
