This study examines the changes in learners' positive/negative perceptions of classroom experience and actual utilisation of AI chatbots in response to the recent changes in education trends caused by generative AI. AI chatbots were utilised in web programming classes for six classes of engineering students over two semesters. The learners' experience and usage were analysed from the beginning of the semester through surveys until the submission of midterm and final examination reports. The study's results indicate that the chatbot enhanced learning by providing Q/A feedback and solving practical problems. Additionally, the perception of the chatbot improved from midterm to the end of the course. The study also drew meaningful conclusions about the issue of community disconnection (personalisation) in the classroom and how to use it as educational software. This research is significant for the development of generative AI-based software.

Transcriptome analysis has been widely used to make biomarker panels to diagnose cancers. In breast cancer, the age of the patient has been known to be associated with clinical features. As clinical transcriptome data have accumulated significantly, we classified all human genes based on age-specific differential expression between normal and breast cancer cells using public data. We retrieved the values for gene expression levels in breast cancer and matched normal cells from The Cancer Genome Atlas. We divided genes into two classes by paired t test without considering age in the first classification. We carried out a secondary classification of genes for each class into eight groups, based on the patterns of the p-values, which were calculated for each of the three age groups we defined. Through this two-step classification, gene expression was eventually grouped into 16 classes. We showed that this classification method could be applied to establish a more accurate prediction model to diagnose breast cancer by comparing the performance of prediction models with different combinations of genes. We expect that our scheme of classification could be used for other types of cancer data.

For a pointed space X, the subgroups of self-homotopy equivalences $Aut_{\sharp}_N(X)$, $Aut_{\Omega}(X)$, $Aut_*(X)$ and $Aut_{\Sigma}(X)$ are considered, where $Aut_{\sharp}_N(X)$ is the group of all self-homotopy classes f of X such that $f_{\sharp}=id\;:\;{\pi_i}(X){\rightarrow}{\pi_i}(X)$ for all $i{\leq}N{\leq}{\infty}$, $Aut_{\Omega}(X)$ is the group of all the above f such that ${\Omega}f=id;\;Aut_*(X)$ is the group of all self-homotopy classes g of X such that $g_*=id\;:\;H_i(X){\rightarrow}H_i(X)$ for all $i{\leq}{\infty}$, $Aut_{\Sigma}(X)$ is the group of all the above g such that ${\Sigma}g=id$. We will prove that $Aut_{\Omega}(X_1{\times}\cdots{\times}X_n)$ has two factorizations similar to those of $Aut_{\sharp}_N(X_1{\times}\cdots{\times}\;X_n)$ in reference [10], and that $Aut_{\Sigma}(X_1{\vee}\cdots{\vee}X_n)$, $Aut_*(X_1{\vee}\cdots{\vee}X_n)$ also have factorizations being dual to the former two cases respectively.

Most of the data sets to which the conventional discriminant rules have been applied contain only those which belong to one and only one class among the classes of interest. However the extension of the bivalence to multivlaence like Fuzzy concepts strongly influence the traditional view that an object must belong to only class. Thus the goal of this paper is to develop new discriminant rules which can handle the data each object of which may belong to moer than two classes with certain degrees of belongings. A calibration model is used for the relationship between the feature vector of an object and the degree of belongings and a Bayesian inference is made with the Metropolis algorithm on the degree of belongings when a feature vector of an object whose membership is unknown is given. An evalution criterion is suggested for the rules developed in this paper and comparision study is carried using two training data sets.

The main purpose of this study was to compare the clinical competency in different instructio nal methods for funda- mentals of nursing practicum, standardized patients methods story as text method ,and traditional lecture/model method. Method: The study was designed as a quasi-experimental, nonequivalent control group post-test design with three separate classes of sophomore students attending fundamentals of nursing classes at one baccaleureate nursing school located in metropoli tan Seoul area. Control group was taught by traditiona lecture/ model method and two experimental groups were taught by standardized patients method and story as text method. Data were collected from September, 1999 to June 2001. There were 36 students in the standardized patient method group, 38 students in story as text group, and 40 students in the control group. Data analysis was done using SPSS WINDOW 9.0. Result: The results showed that the standardized patients method and story as text method groups were significantly better in clinical judgement and communication skills than the traditional lecture/model method group. The standardized patients method group was significantly better in clinical nursing skills performance than two other groups. However, there was no significant difference among the three groups in student satisfaction. Conclusion: The standardized patients method is an effective in teaching clinical cometency for student nurses. It is necessary to explore more efficient way to develop standardized patients cases for wider areas of nursing education. Also, it is recommended to develop more research projects with many nursing programs.

This study was conducted to attain an in-depth understanding of students' mathematical representations and to present the educational implications for teaching them. Twelve mathematical tasks were developed according to the six types of problems. A task performance was executed to 151 third graders from four classes in DaeJeon and GyeongGi. We analyzed the types and forms of representations generated by them. Then, qualitative case studies were conducted on two small-groups of five from two classes in GyeongGi. We analyzed how individuals' representations became elaborated into group representation and what patterns emerged during the collaborative small-group learning. From the results, most students used more than one representation in solving a problem, but they were not fluent enough to link them to successful problem solving or to transfer correctly among them. Students refined their representations into more meaningful group representation through peer interaction, self-reflection, etc.. Teachers need to give students opportunities to think through, and choose from, various representations in problem solving. We also need the in-depth understanding and great insights into students' representations for teaching.

Recently a new approach to evaluation of software reliability, one of important attributes of a software system, during testing has been devised. This approach utilizes test coverage information. The coverage-based software reliability growth models recently appeared in the literature are first reviewed and classified into two classes. Inherent problems of each of the two classes are then discussed and their validity is empirically investigated. In addition, a new mean value function in coverage and a heuristic procedure for selecting the best coverage are proposed.

Near full length cDNA clones encoding the rice seed storage protein, prolamine, were isolated and divided into two homology classes based on cross-hybridization and DNA sequencing analysis. These cDNA clones contain a single open reading frame encoding a putative rice prolamine precursor(M.W.=17,200) possessing atypical 14 amino acid signal peptide. Clones of these two homology classes diverge mainly by insertions/deletions of short nucleotide stretches and point mutations. The deduced primary structures of both types of prolamine polypeptides are devoid of any major tandem repetitive sequences, a feature prevalent in other cereal prolamines. No significant homology teas detected between the rice prolamine and other cereal prolamines, indicating that the rice gene evolved from a different ancestor that gave rise to other cereal prolamine genes. Developing wheat and rice endosperms were examined using ultrathin sections prepared from tissues harvested at various days after flowering. By immunocytochemical localization techniques, wheat prolamines are localized within vesicles from Golgi apparatus and in homogeneous regions of protein bodies. The involvement of the goli apparatus in the packaging of wheat prolamines into protein bodies indicates a pathway which differs from the mode of other cereal prolamines and resembles the mechanism employed for the storage of rice glutelin and legume globulins.

Purpose : This study was aimed to investigate the effect of knowledge and competence of first aid treatment among middle school students after the education on the injury treatment. Methods : The study design was randomized pretest and post-test control group nonsynchronized design. Study subjects were 32 3rd-grade students of Y middle school in P city and 34 3rd-grade students of M middle school in P city in this research. Among two 3rd-grade classes, one classes were randomly assigned to experimental group (32 students) and two were control group (34 students). The intervention for experimental group was providing five-time 45-minute injury treatment education. Results : 1. The First hypothesis : After intervention on the injury treatment education, knowledge of injury treatment in the experimental group was significantly higher than that of the control group(t=-6.480, p<.001). 2. The Second hypothesis : After intervention on the injury treatment education, competence of injury treatment in the experimental group was significantly higher than that of the control group(t=-15.121, p<.001). Conclusion : These findings suggest that the injury treatment education can facilitate knowledge of injury treatment, competence of injury treatment in the middle school student. Therefore, it is considered that the injury treatment education can be utilized as a effective way to implement the 7th nation curriculum.
