A good story persuades people to act. The mobilizing power of a story, however, does not necessarily rely on informational fidelity. During political unrests, word-of-mouth can intermix facts with unverified claims and emotional outrage, often transforming reality into convincing rumor stories. This rapid communication article discusses how rumor publics (dis)approve and participate in 2019 Hong Kong Protests. This survey study finds that police injustice and brutality were the predominant themes of the collected rumor stories, although some stories contained mixed views or anti-protest claims. Rumors of police injustice and brutality were associated with less negative attitudes toward the protests, especially when respondents believed the story. The relationship between rumor stories and protest participation was less obvious, except for rumors about an individual protester's whereabout. This study discusses the ways in which rumor is embedded in contentious political processes.

Currently, inappropriate information regarding cancer is being disseminated indiscreetly via the media and Internet. Many people are confused due to the mixed presence of facts and misinformation concerning cancer. Owing to the flood of information, especially that concerning gastrointestinal cancer (the most common cancer in Korea), patients with gastrointestinal cancers, their family members, and medical staff, as well as the general public, are faced with a number of problems in understanding, treating, and overcoming this type of cancer. Therefore, investigating the level of recognition for and understanding of gastrointestinal cancers among these populations is very important for the prevention, diagnosis, and management of this disease. This review article investigated the differences in the recognition levels of the general understanding, prevention, quality of life, pain control, and the ethical issues of gastrointestinal cancer treatment among the general public, patients with gastrointestinal cancers, their family members, and medical staff via surveys.

With the rapid development of AI technology, ChatGPT and other AI content creation tools are becoming common, and users are becoming curious and adopting them. These tools, unlike search engines, generate results based on user prompts, which puts them at risk of inaccuracy or plagiarism. This allows unethical users to create inappropriate content and poses greater educational and corporate data security concerns. AI content detection is needed and AI-generated text needs to be identified to address misinformation and trust issues. Along with the positive use of AI tools, monitoring and regulation of their ethical use is essential. When detecting content created by AI with an AI content detection tool, it can be used efficiently by using the appropriate tool depending on the usage environment and purpose. In this paper, we collect data on AI content detection tools and compare and analyze the functions and characteristics of AI content detection tools to help meet these needs.

최근 환경부와 국립수목원에서 발간한 한반도의 관속식물의 기준표본 관련 자료인 Type specimens collected from Korea at the herbarium of the University of Tokyo (Suh et al.)와 국립생물자원관에서 발간한 Korean type specimens deposited in foreign herbaria and museums(해외기관소장 한반도 생물자원기준표본화보집, Yim et al.) 내용에 오류 확인과 정정이 필요하여 본 연구를 수행하였다. 전자에 해당되는 자료는 동경대학(東京大學) 총합연구박물관(總合硏究博物館)(TI)에 소장되어 있는 T. Nakai의 수집품을 정리한 것이며, 후자의 경우는 G. Koidzumi, J. Ohwi, S. Kitamura 등 경도대학(京都大學) 연구자와 하버드대학 E. H. Wilson, H. Leveille의 수집품을 정리한 내용이다. 두 간행물은 lectotype, isotype, syntype 또는 holotype 등의 잘못된 지정과 기재문 및 관련 정보에 대한 오류 등을 범하고 있다. 특히, Suh et al.은 TI에 소장되어 있는 한반도 식물의 기준표본을 정리한 출판물에서는 47개의 기준표본 지정 오류와 20개의 지명 및 문헌 등의 기재에 오류가 있었고, Yim et al.은 2권의 책자에 정리한 기준표본 정보는 75개의 지정 오류와 30개의 지명 및 문헌 등 기재 오류가 확인되었다. Suh et al.과 Yim et al.은 기재문 확인 연구가 없이 단순히 기준표본에 대한 정보만을 제공하고 있어 이런 기준 표본 오류가 발생하였다. 또한, 기재문 및 다른 관련 정보에 대한 오류는 원기재문의 미확인과 기준표본에 대한 기본적인 개념부재가 원인이라고 판단된다.

1979년 국가민속문화재로 지정된 광화당 원삼은 보존상태가 상당히 양호하다. 그러나 지정조사 시에는 없던 봉흉배가 부착되어 '봉흉배가 달린 유일한 자적원삼(紫赤圓衫)' 유물로 알려지면서 보존처리의 필요성이 제기되었다. 이에 지정문화재에 대한 잘못된 정보를 바로잡기 위한 과학적 분석과 동시에 지정 상태로의 원형 복원도 요구되었다. 본 연구를 통해 광화당 원삼에 대한 유물 이력을 조사하고, 현전하는 봉흉배와 봉흉배 수본(繡本) 등의 유물 조사를 병행하여 원형 복원에 대한 자료를 확보하였다. 직접적으로는 에너지 분산형 X선 형광분석을 실시하여, 봉흉배에 사용된 금속사가 은을 기본으로 티타늄 코팅한 것을 확인하였다. 티타늄으로 도금된 금사를 사용한 봉흉배는 1986년 광화당 원삼 사진에서는 확인되지 않았으며, TiN계 피막 도금법이 1990년대에는 여러 산업에서 활용되었다는 점에서 1990년대 초중반에 봉흉배가 부착된 것으로 추정할 수 있다. 특히 X선 형광분석을 활용한 금사의 과학적 분석 결과를 통해 보존처리의 핵심적인 근거자료를 확보하였다. 본고는 전세 유물 보존처리에 있어 유물 이력과 유사 유물 조사의 중요성에 대한 각성과 지정문화재에 대한 잘못된 정보를 바로잡을 수 있는 원형복원의 선례로서 의미가 있다.

The advent of the Internet and social media has given rise to a number of anti-milk articles that contain a lot of misinformation. Should milk and dairy products really not be consumed past a certain age? To answer this question, the history of milk consumption must be examined to understand the long-term benefits of milk. Historically, dairy products were among the foods served to the angels in the Old Testament of the Bible. Furthermore, dairy products were consumed even before the Bronze Age, and are defined by many food and animal scientists, and nutritionists as a complete food containing a lot of nutrients. Milk and dairy products have significantly contributed to the Korean and Japanese people's current body structures; this is evident in the fact that they are taller than their ancestors, primarily due to the increased consumption of milk and dairy products following industrialization. The average height of Koreans rose drastically in the 1960s, after milk consumption increased as a result of the dairy promotion policy. This article seeks to help understand milk by looking into the content published by a life insurance company in 1927.

While the Internet has been used to galvanise people for the collective good, many have voiced concerns over the noise and vitriol present online and polarisation. In Singapore where the government regulates traditional mainstream media such as print and broadcast, the online space has been described as a "Wild Wild West" rife with rumours, untruths and misinformation. Such developments do not only exert a potential negative effect on the deliberative nature of public discourse but also skew bias towards the online space, affecting the ability of online users to communicate with authority and power. This study seeks to examine the rationality of the cyberspace through using a new "rationality" framework to analyse political discourse online. Comprising objectivity, emotionality and partisanship, the rationality framework was applied to a content analysis of 197 blogs with political content in 2014. The analysis indicated that the online political space was not the Wild Wild West that it was touted to be with significant levels of objectivity and non-partisanship. There was a stark absence of emotional discourse, and relationships were observed between bloggers' anonymity and rationality. Cognisant of academia's and policymakers' interest on the quality and effects of online discourse, the proposed analytical framework and the study findings hold implications for both developed and developing countries.
