    Abstract This study identified factors related to the quality of life of older adults with coal workers' pneumoconiosis and determined the mediating effect of death anxiety on the relationship between depression and quality of life. The participants were 161 older adults who were admitted to five pneumoconiosis hospitals in South Korea. The results showed that higher levels of depression indicated higher levels of death anxiety, and higher levels of depression and death anxiety indicated poorer quality of life. While controlling for general characteristics, death anxiety (β = 0.47, P < .001) had a complete mediating effect on the relationship between depression (β = 0.13, P = .075) and quality of life (R

    Abstract In this study, statistical assessment was performed on student engagement in online learning using the k -means clustering algorithm, and their differences in attendance, assignment completion, discussion participation and perceived learning outcome were examined. In the clustering process, three features such as the behavioral, emotional and cognitive aspects of student engagement were considered. Data for this study were collected from undergraduate students who enrolled in an asynchronous online course provided by Kyung Hee University in Republic of Korea in the fall semester of 2021. The students enrolled in the asynchronous online course were classified into two clusters with low and high engagement perceptions. In addition, their differences in attendance, assignment completion, discussion participation, interactions and perceived learning outcome were analyzed. The results of this study indicate that quantitative indicators on students’ online behaviors are not sufficient evidence to measure the level of student engagement and the students enrolled in the asynchronous online course were classified into two groups with low and high engagement perceptions. It is recommended that online instructors consider various strategies to facilitate interaction for the students with low engagement perceptions.

    Abstract Stroke elicits excessive immune activation in the injured brain tissue. This well-recognized neural inflammation in the brain is not just an intrinsic organ response but also a result of additional intricate interactions between infiltrating peripheral immune cells and the resident immune cells in the affected areas. Given that there is a finite number of immune cells in the organism at the time of stroke, the partitioned immune systems of the central nervous system (CNS) and periphery must appropriately distribute the limited pool of immune cells between the two domains, mounting a necessary post-stroke inflammatory response by supplying a sufficient number of immune cells into the brain while maintaining peripheral immunity. Stroke pathophysiology has mainly been neurocentric in focus, but understanding the distinct roles of the CNS and peripheral immunity in their concerted action against ischemic insults is crucial. This review will discuss stroke-induced influences of the peripheral immune system on CNS injury/repair and of neural inflammation on peripheral immunity, and how comorbidity influences each.

    Abstract In this study, we explored the issue of depression and suicide ideation among middle-aged men in South Korea over a five-year period, focusing on an often overlooked yet pressing concern. Our main objective was to identify shifts in levels of depression and their potential influence on suicide ideation, focusing particularly on single-person households. By using data from a national health survey, we conducted extensive analyze which accounted for various sociodemographic factors. Analyses indicate that despite their depression levels being relatively low on average, middle-aged men exhibited increased suicide ideation due to low recognition of their own level of depression. Our analyses suggest that we need to develop depression prevention programs and labor support measures that are tailored to the specific circumstances and psychological characteristics of middle-aged men if we are to address this serious problem.

    Abstract CRISPR–Cas9 gene-editing technology enables efficient genome editing in various plants, but entails difficulties and inefficiencies in transforming allotetraploid soybeans. Therefore, for producing transgenic soybeans using high-efficiency CRISPR–Cas9, a method for verifying the mutation efficiency of the target gene guide RNA is essential. Here, we present an experimental method using soybean protoplasts to confirm the effectiveness of single guide RNAs (sgRNAs) and sgRNA clones used for target gene mutagenesis to produce CRISPR–Cas9-mediated transgenic soybeans. In addition, we propose a method to improve the time-consuming process of producing CRISPR–Cas9-mediated transgenic soybeans. First, the fatty acid desaturase 2 (FAD2) gene was selected as a target gene for CRISPR–Cas9 application, and each of the three sgRNAs of the FAD2 isoforms (A, B) was produced based on the corresponding gene sequence. The sgRNAs of the three FAD2 genes were transfected into soybean protoplasts, and next-generation sequencing was performed using the isolated genomic DNA. The two FAD2-1A-1 and FAD2-1B-1 sgRNAs exhibited the highest insertion and deletion (indel) efficiency. Next, the selected FAD2-1A-1 and FAD2-1B-1 sgRNAs were cloned into three different binary vectors, and genomic DNA was isolated after transfection into the protoplast. Indel efficiency was high when pECO202 for FAD2-1A-1 and pECO201 for FAD2-1B-1 were used. Transgenic soybean was produced using the FAD2-1A-1::pECO202 and FAD2-1B-1::pECO201 sgRNA clones. The presented soybean protoplast transformation method can verify the mutation effect of specific sgRNAs and sgRNA clones of the soybean target gene used for CRISPR–Cas9 in a short period of time and reduce the time consumption of transgenic soybean production.

    Abstract Resuspension of particulate matter (PM) in classrooms, which increases the risk of negative impact on student health from exposure to PM, is influenced by humidity level in the indoor environment. The goal of this study is to investigate the properties of PM resuspension in accordance with relative humidity through classroom test chamber experiments. In actual classrooms, it is challenging to control factors influencing resuspension. Therefore, the classroom chamber that reflects the environment of elementary school classroom (e.g., structure, floor material) is used in this study. The humidity of the classroom chamber is adjusted to 35%, 55%, 75%, and 85% by placing it inside a real-size environmental chamber, which allows artificial control of climatic conditions. At the respective humidity conditions, PM resuspension concentration and resuspension factor caused by occupant walking across the classroom chamber are analyzed. The results show that both of the resuspension concentration and resuspension factor reveal a linear negative correlation to humidity increase. Furthermore, coefficient of determination (R 2 ) indicating goodness-of-fit of the linear regression model between the resuspension concentration and humidity is 0.88 for PM 10 and 0.93 for PM 2.5 . It implies that accuracy of the regression model for estimating PM 10 and PM 2.5 resuspension concentrations is 88% and 93%, respectively.
