Priming with poly I:C- or IFN-γ improved the therapeutic effects of WJ-MSCs in a murine model of AD. This study suggests that priming with poly I:C or IFN-γ enhances the immunomodulatory functions of WJ-MSCs and can be used as a novel therapeutic approach for AD.

OBJECTIVES: Services based on the Internet of Things (IoT) technologies have emerged in various business environments. To enhance health service quality and maximize benefits, this study applied an IoT technology based on NFC and iBeacon as an omni-channel service for patient care in hospitals. METHODS: Application of the IoT technology based on NFC and iBeacon was conducted in a general hospital during August 2015 through June 2016, and the development and evaluation results were aligned to an

Chatbots link companies and users, increase conversions, reduce labor costs, and provide answers based on big data. Since COVID-19, demand for non-face-to-face services has increased. Despite expectations, chatbot use is inconsistent and satisfaction is low. This study identifies factors for improving the sustainability of chatbot services by considering artificial intelligence factors (personalization, anthropomorphism, social presence) and systemic factors (responsiveness, compatibility). The

This book represents the end of a very long and trying journey.In the time it took to bring this book to print, my two children were born, my father passed away, and a global pandemic crisis descended upon us.Needless to say, there were many moments of difficulty along the way, and I contemplated throwing in the towel more than once.But in August of 2020, I happened to revisit my campus office for the first time since the COVID-19 pandemic began and saw two notes waiting for me in my mailbox, fr

This paper suggests a framework for the book evolution in ubiquitous computing age. Based on the review of the academic researches and industrial development, we suggest the three dimensions of the evolution of books: digitalization, augmentation, and hypermediation. Based on the framework, we suggest three research and business development directions: 1) Open Hypermediation, 2) e-Book Augmentation, and 3) Mobile-Device Based Augmentation.

OBJECTIVES: This paper describes an experience of implementing seamless service trials online and offline by adopting Internet of Things (IoT) technology based on near-field communication (NFC) tags and Bluetooth low-energy (BLE) beacons. The services were provided for both patients and health professionals. METHODS: The pilot services were implemented to enhance healthcare service quality, improve patient safety, and provide an effective business process to health professionals in a tertiary ho

ABSTRACT This article examines female asexual reproduction, or parthenogenesis, in Hesiod's Theogony and argues that it is a symptom of the unprecedented and unparalleled female presence Hesiod inserts into his cosmos. This presence in turn reflects Hesiod's incorporation of gender difference and conflict as indispensable both to the creation and, paradoxically, to the stability of the universe. Five of Hesiod's deities reproduce parthenogenetically: Chaos, Gaea, Night, Strife, and Hera, of whom

 Korean is one of the well-known „pro-drop‟ languages. When translating Korean zero object into languages in which objects have to be overtly expressed, the resolution of zero object is crucial. This paper proposes a machine learning method to resolve Korean zero object. We proposed 8 linguistically motivated features for ML (Machine Learning). Our approach has been implemented with WEKA 3.6.10 and evaluated by using 10-fold cross validation method. The accuracy of the proposed method reached 7

Group 2 ILCs may play a role in a murine model of <i>Af</i>-induced AD-like skin lesions.

Services based on the IoT technologies have emerged in various business environments. To enhance service quality of exhibition and maximize experience of visitors, this study applies IoT technology for stakeholders of exhibition. An application of the IoT technology based on button service was conducted for a special exhibition, and the development and evaluation results are aligned to action research framework including diagnosing, action planning, action taking, evaluation, and specifying lear

Purpose: Atopic dermatitis (AD) is the most common chronic and relapsing inflammatory skin disease with skin barrier defects and altered immune responses. Chronic inflammation leads to irreversible fibrosis in the skin and there is no treatment to completely abolish the inflammation and fibrosis. To prevent or treat the chronic process of AD, it is necessary to develop a murine model of AD that reflects the chronic process to identify the mechanism. The aims of this study were to develop a chron

Ischemia-induced cerebral injury evolves over a longer period than previously believed through post-ischemic inflammation. Retinoic acid (RA) has been shown to exert cytoprotective effects on several cells, but its effects on ischemia-induced cerebral injury have been poorly characterized. The aim of the present study was to examine the effects of all-trans-RA on ischemia-induced cerebral injury and elucidate the underlying mechanism. All-trans-RA treatment reduced the size of the ischemia-induc
