Optical coherence tomography-guided versus angiography-guided percutaneous coronary intervention for patients with complex lesions (OCCUPI): an investigator-initiated, multicentre, randomised, open-label, superiority trial in South Korea

Despite the detailed imaging information provided by optical coherence tomography (OCT) during percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), clinical benefits of this imaging technique in this setting remain uncertain. The aim of the OCCUPI trial was to compare the clinical benefits of OCT-guided versus angiography-guided PCI for complex lesions, assessed as the rate of major adverse cardiac events at 1 year. This investigator-initiated, multicentre, randomised, open-label, superiority trial conducted at 20 hospitals in South Korea enrolled patients aged 19-85 years for whom PCI with drug-eluting stents was clinically indicated. After diagnostic angiography, clinical and angiographic findings were assessed to identify patients who met the criterion of having one or more complex lesions. Patients were randomly assigned 1:1 to receive PCI with OCT guidance (OCT-guidance group) or angiography guidance without OCT (angiography-guidance group). Web-response permuted-block randomisation (mixed blocks of four or six) was used at each participating site to allocate patients. The allocation sequence was computer-generated by an external programmer who was not involved in the rest of the trial. Outcome assessors were masked to group assignment. Patients, follow-up health-care providers, and data analysers were not masked. PCI was done according to conventional standard methods with everolimus-eluting stents. The primary endpoint was major adverse cardiac events (a composite of cardiac death, myocardial infarction, stent thrombosis, or ischaemia-driven target-vessel revascularisation), 1 year after PCI. The primary analysis was done in the intention-to-treat population. The margin used to establish superiority was 1·0 as a hazard ratio. This trial is registered with ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT03625908) and is completed. Between Jan 9, 2019, and Sept 22, 2022, 1604 patients requiring PCI with drug-eluting stents for complex lesions were randomly assigned to receive either OCT-guided PCI (n=803) or angiography-guided PCI (n=801). 1290 (80%) of 1604 patients were male and 314 (20%) were female. The median age of patients at randomisation was 64 years (IQR 57-70). 1588 (99%) patients completed 1-year follow-up. The primary endpoint occurred in 37 (5%) of 803 patients in the OCT-guided PCI group and 59 (7%) of 801 patients in the angiography-guided PCI group (absolute difference -2·8% [95% CI -5·1 to -0·4]; hazard ratio 0·62 [95% CI 0·41 to 0·93]; p=0·023). Rates of stroke, bleeding events, and contrast-induced nephropathy were not significantly different across the two groups. Among patients who required drug-eluting stent implantation for complex lesions, OCT guidance resulted in a lower incidence of major adverse cardiac events at 1 year compared with angiography guidance. These findings indicate the existence of a therapeutic benefit of OCT as an intravascular imaging technique for PCI guidance in patients with complex coronary lesions.

『시진핑 국정운영을 말하다』에 관한 번역수사학적 연구

As interaction between countries becomes increasingly frequent, the importance of foreign publicity becomes evident. Among them, the role of translation is very crucial in foreign publicity. This study aimed to analyze how political texts were translated into Korean based on the perspective of rhetoric, with Xi Jinping: The Governance of China as the research subject. Through this, it was found that the rhetorical methods used in Xi Jinping: The Governance of China are divided into quotation, metaphor, parallelism, and antithesis, and as a result of based on these analyses, it was found that the translator mainly used methods such as literal translation, free translation, adaptation, Chinese character notation, addition, semantic interpretation, omission, etc. Also, inappropriate expressions were found while analyzing the Korean translation. At the same time, opinions were also presented to correct these. Through this study, it is hoped that it will help in conducting translation or foreign publicity projects of other political texts including “Xi Jinping: The Governance of China” in the future.

Korean Translation and Cross-Cultural Adaptation of the Sport Concussion Assessment Tool 6th Edition (SCAT6): Reliability and Validity

PURPOSE: This study aimed to establish a contemporary, standardized Korean version of the Sports Concussion Assessment Tool 6th edition, characterized by superior face validity and reliability.METHODS: Translation and cultural adaptation involved seven stages, namely initial translation, integration of translation, back translation, validation with five expert committees, pre-testing with 12 rugby athletes, finalization, and a test-retest with 30 rugby and American-football athletes. Alternative tests were conducted for the Months In Reverse Order Test due to the naming differences between English and Korean.RESULTS: The English Months In Reverse Order Test took 11.00 ± 2.69 seconds with a difficulty of 2.27 ± 0.98 points, while the Korean Months In Reverse Order Test took 5.69 ± 1.35 seconds with a difficulty of 1.50 ± 0.73 points (p < .001). The Adding Serial 3s Test and Days of the Week Backward Test were evaluated for completion time, difficulty, and accuracy in 30 English and 30 Korean participants. The results of the Korean Adding Serial 3s Test were poor (time 10.50 ± 3.55 seconds; difficulty 2.97 ± 1.25 points), while The Korean Days of the Week Backward Test was fast and easily replaced Months In Reverse Order Test (time 3.46 ± 0.72 seconds; difficulty 1.5 ± 0.82 points). An attempt with Korean Months In Reverse Order Test and Days of the Week Backward Test, where participants were asked to recite all at once, yielded acceptable results (time 10.62 ± 2.04 seconds; difficulty 1.90 ± 0.99 points) compared to English Months In Reverse Order Test (p > .05). The face validity was adequate and reliability was mostly high (Cronbach alpha = 0.79).CONCLUSIONS: The results indicate that The Korean Sports Concussion Assessment Tool 6th edition was well translated and exhibited adequate face validity and reliability.

试论≪御制满蒙文鑑≫与≪蒙語類解≫的关系

This article attempts to demonstrate the relationship between qaγan-u bičigsen manǰu mongγol ügen-ü toli bičig and MONG Ŏ YU HAE from the perspectives of philology and linguistics. As one of the 18th century Mongolian textbooks of the Korean Translation Institute(Sa YŎK Won), the compilation style and inclusion of Mongolian words in MONG Ŏ YU HAE follow the characteristics of Qing Dynasty Mongolian dictionaries in many aspects. When conducting this study, scholars from South Korea and Japan also fully recognized the correlation between Mong Hak Sam SŎ and Qing Dynasty dictionaries. They put forward their own views on the issue of “Mong Mun Kam” mentioned in the “Preface to the Reissue of the Three Books of Mongolian School” . Chinese scholars have a low level of attention to this type of literature, and there is a lack of research results. The research perspectives of previous scholars have mostly focused on the ontology research of 18th century Mongolian language reflected in Mongolian textbooks, without carefully demonstrating the relationship between Mongolian textbooks and Manchu literature. This article is a supplement to this aspect.

Translating perceived affective quality attributes of soundscape from English into Korean

The primary goal of ISO 12913 series is to foster a wide-ranging international consensus and establish a universal framework for interdisciplinary and professional communication about soundscapes. However, a critical challenge arises in non-English speaking countries regarding translating Perceived Affective Qualities (PAQs) from English. This translation issue is pivotal in accurately evaluating soundscapes according to the guidelines set by ISO/TS 12913–2, as it directly affects the reliability and consistency of soundscape assessments across different linguistic and cultural contexts. To address this, the Soundscape Attributes Translation Project (SATP) was initiated, focusing on the translation and validation of soundscape PAQs across various languages, with this study specifically aiming to be translated into Korean. This study aims to translate the soundscape PAQs suggested in ISO/TS 12913–2 Method A into Korean and examine the differences in soundscape evaluation between Korean and English. The study is divided into three phases. In Phase I, we gathered a wide range of possible Korean translations for the soundscape attributes and narrowed this down to twenty-four attributes. Phase II involved a quantitative evaluation of these 24 attributes to derive the most appropriate Korean attributes for the translation of soundscape PAQ. Finally, in Phase III, a listening test was conducted to discern the differences in soundscape evaluations between Korea and the UK. This comprehensive approach led to the identification of eight Korean soundscape attributes. With these attributes, twenty-seven different soundscapes were evaluated, revealing notable differences, particularly in the interpretation of the attribute ’monotonous’ between English and Korean evaluations. The findings are expected to contribute significantly to the standardization of soundscape evaluation in Korea and lay a foundation for future soundscape research and assessment in the Korean context.

Analysis of Feature Extraction Model for Machine Korean Translation Judging System

Language translation is becoming increasingly widespread and diversified as internationalization and information technology advance significantly. Nonetheless, there are cultural variations across different nations, and there will unavoidably be some variations brought on by translation software. While the machine translation system has attained a high level of development, the issues with the older machine translation methods still remain and cannot be fully resolved. The efficiency of Korean-Chinese translation must thus be improved by creating a more effective model for converting translation information. This has significant implications for the development of international relationships, commercial interactions, cultural development, and commerce between China and South Korea. The translation is the rendering of words into other languages so that they may be understood by both individuals. Nevertheless, there are several flaws and inconsistencies in the present Korean-to-Chinese translational information processing method. Thus, this study suggests a Diverse Deep Embedding Data Accumulation (DDEDA) algorithm for the translation framework. We utilized the Korean-Chinese corpus dataset for the research. Utilizing translation accuracy, precision, recall, error rate, and translation time, the performance of the suggested approach was examined and compared with previously employed methodologies. The findings demonstrate that the proposed method has taken 43s for translation.

‘Keeping up with the Korean Yeojas’: the paradox of Korean women’s participation of aesthetic exercise in contemporary Korea

Over the past decade, there has been a noticeable increase in the engagement of Korean women (‘yeoja’ in Korean translation) in physical activities. Despite discussions emphasizing active exercise and fitness, motivations for women’s participation have often been centered around weight management and dieting. This study explores the experiences of Korean women participating in aesthetic exercise – physical activities such as yoga, Pilates, and pole fitness which focus on female-appropriate weight management. Aesthetic exercise participation emerges as a complex and paradoxical phenomenon, blending feminized workouts, ideal body images, and individual aspirations to attain social standards. Participants express ambivalence, viewing exercise as both a ‘healthy way of losing’ and a means to ‘keep up with’ societal ideals of the female body. Thus, it highlights the intricate interplay between societal expectations, personal goals, and the pursuit of an envisioned ideal, offering insights into the dynamic nature of women’s involvement in aesthetic exercise in the Korean context.

Effects of Speech Cues on Acoustics and Intelligibility of Korean-Speaking Children With Cerebral Palsy.

Reduced speech intelligibility is often a hallmark of children with dysarthria secondary to cerebral palsy (CP), but effects of speech strategies for increasing intelligibility are understudied, especially in children who speak languages other than English. This study examined the effects of (the Korean translation of) two cues, "speak with your big mouth" and "speak with your strong voice," on speech acoustics and intelligibility of Korean-speaking children with CP. Fifteen Korean-speaking children with CP repeated words and sentences in habitual, big mouth, and strong voice conditions. Acoustic analyses were performed and intelligibility was assessed by means of 90 blinded listeners' ease-of-understanding (EoU) ratings and percentage of words correctly transcribed (PWC). In response to both cues, children's vocal intensity and utterance duration increased significantly and differentially, whereas their vowel space area gains did not reach statistical significance. EoU increased significantly in the big mouth condition at word, but not sentence, level, whereas in the strong voice condition, EoU increased significantly at both levels. PWC increases were not statistically significant. Considerable variability in children's responses to cues was noted overall. Korean-speaking children with CP modify their speech styles differentially when provided with cues aimed to increase their articulatory working space and vocal intensity. The results provide preliminary support for the use of the strong voice cue, in particular, to increase EoU. While the findings do not offer conclusive evidence of the intelligibility benefits of these cues, investigation with a larger sample size should provide further insight into optimal cueing strategies for increasing intelligibility in this population. Implications for language-specific versus language-independent treatment approaches are discussed. https://doi.org/10.23641/asha.25521052.

전문 번역 교육 수업 운영 사례

Objectives This study compares the management methods of two translation classes operated by the researcher, and through self-analysis of changes in student’s feedback via lecture evaluation, shows an example of the class management method which will improve future translation classes to be more meaningful and efficient.
 Methods The study targets students attending translation I in the first semester and translation II in the second semester of 2023 at the I Graduate School. The researcher compared the operation method of the two classes and the evaluation of the students' lectures accordingly, and for translation II, individual survey using Google forms was conducted by the lecturer, to apprehend the effect and satisfaction of classes using Zoom.
 Results In translation I in the first semester of 2023, which was conducted in a traditional teaching method in which the lecturer directly transfers knowledge to be studied in a set unit class focused on the lecturer, it received high scores for its level of content, acceptance of student opinions, and feedback, but it was criticized for being not very interesting and for its similarity to sight translation class. In translation II in the second semester of 2023, applying the flipped learning method, lecturer encouraged students to use various translation tools in advance to translate what they would learn, and during face-to-face classes, intended interaction between instructors and students utilizing Zoom's various functions, and many students were satisfied and found it more interesting, and generally responded positively about improvement of their translation skills, but some nagative feedbacks expressed the burden of prior studies and necessity of bringing electronic devices as well as slow class progression.
 Conclusions This study‘s purpose is to suggest a more meaningful way to operate future translation class through analysis of prior class operation model of Korean to Vietnamese / Vietnamese to Korean translation classes. By utilizing Zoom, translation classes, conducted in a traditional way that lacked interest and differentiation from sight translation classes, were improved so that students could focus on translations, thus making translation classes more efficient, however, task still remains to find ways to encourage active participation in classes, to speed up the learning process and maximize concentration and interest, while reducing the burden on students' prior studying.

In situ 3D printing of stem cell in regenerative medicine takes future center stage

There are many services 3D printing (3DP) supplies for the medical domain with a view to ameliorate and keep patients' lifetimes. 3DP in medicine has authorized customization, prototyping, industrialization, and study. The regions of implementation include surgical elaboration, prostheses, dental, 3DP of tissues and organs, medicament doses and pharmacology, and makings of medical agents and instruments. 3DP technology is conceivable utilized for manufacturing exact copies of human anatomic matters, moving a worthy function in pathology education, veterinary anatomy schooling, zoological models cloning, duplication of scarce museum samples, and printing of stem cell and tissue facts from confocal microscopic examinations. 3DP technology can be applied to surrogate human organ transplants and to make patient-definite organ duplicates that surgeons can be utilized to exercise on before implementing complex surgeries. In this paper according to Laila M. Montaser deep expertise in liver tissue engineering, might be a prospective futurity settlement to scalability of the liver transplant which may alleviate the troubles linked with the organ lack, may recovery liver failures and may outputs skillfully functional organ to be planted or applied as an instrument located out the body, as a pragmatic pattern for medicament checking, beside for the investigation of pathological diseases such as liver cancer and cirrhosis. This was the abstract of Montaser keynote invited speech which was recorded and submitted to the 3DP Conference and Expo 2020, Nov 18-20, Seoul, Korea entitled “Application of 3D printing in Regenerative Medicine”. This symposium was sponsored by the 3DP Conference and Expo Seoul - A new era of advanced manufacturing. The first day of the conference, November 18, was held as an in-person seminar in Seoul (KINTEX), Korea whereas the second day of the conference, November 19, was an on-line (recorded) seminar without gathering onsite. Her pre-recorded presentation (PowerPoint slides with her recorded voice) was broadcasted on the second day of the conference with Korean translation. This manuscript shows Montaser future vision possible bio Nanomaterial scaffolds fabricated by the two most widely used techniques, namely, electrospinning and 3DP of future directions for in situ 3D bioprinting. The aim of this paper is to highlight the attention given by a feminist scientist to in situ 3DP technology literacy of stem cells as a new, innovative and revolutionary technique.

창암 박만환의 『여사서』 언해본의 특징과 의의

The purpose of this article is to examine the patterns and significance of the interpretation of 『Yeosaseo』, a Chinese teaching book for women, written by Changam Park Man-hwan during the Enlightenment period. 『Yusisaseo』 is a book of instruction for women edited and annotated by Wang Sang during the Qing Dynasty in China. In 1907, Park Man-hwan translated and published it at Yeongjujeongsa. This paper studied the translation of Park Man-hwan's 『Yeosaseo』 and examined the publication process, the interpretation pattern, and its characteristics. We also looked at the meaning within the context of women's instruction books at the time. In 1907, Park Man-hwan interpreted 『Yeosaseo』 and received verification from Jeun woo. He published it with Yeosaseo with a preface written by Song Byeong-soon and an afterword written by Jeun woo. If you look at the system, the original Chinese text and the Korean translation of the language are placed separately. This method is different from the one that was translated into Korean during the Yeongjo period of the Joseon Dynasty and wrote the sound of Chinese characters. And Park Man-hwan selected only the exemplary deeds of women from the contents of the commentary and translated them into Korean. In particular, the annotations of 『Yeogye』『Naehun』『Yeo Analects』, which contain a lot of didactic content about women and behavioral norms that women should follow, were not explained at all. On the other hand, 『Yeobeomcheoprok』 explained the exemplary behavior of women in detail in the annotations, and Park Man-hwan faithfully explained this. In this way, Park Man-hwan tried to interpret 『Yeosaseo』 focusing on the exemplary examples of women and encourage women to use it as an example and put it into practice. During the Enlightenment period, the need for women's education was emphasized, and many textbooks teaching women were produced, and Park Man-hwan's interpretation of 『Yeosaseo』 was in line with this trend. In addition, women's loyalty and attitude toward the state and wages were emphasized as they recognized women as members of the state, and this trend is reflected in the women's guidebook, and Park Man-hwan's interpretation of the 『Yeosaseo』 focused on responding to social demands and expanding women's consciousness.

메타인지 모니터링 전략이 한중 번역 능력에 미치는 영향

The purpose of this study is to study the effect of improving the translation consciousness and translation ability of learners in the 3rd year of the Department of Korean Language at Chinese University by applying metacognitive monitoring among metacognitive strategies to Korean translation classes. Metacognitive strategies are widely applied to foreign language learning, and among them, metacognitive monitoring strategies are used as important educational means as the core content of metacognitive strategies. This study investigated whether metacognitive monitoring strategies were applied to translation classes of the 3rd year of Chinese universities and Korean learners to improve their translation consciousness. To this end, five parameters belonging to metacognitive monitoring were analyzed and organized, and lecture contents and reflection journals were designed accordingly and introduced into Korean-Chinese translation classes. Through a survey and a Korean-Chinese translation test, the correlation with the T-test was detected on the effect of applying metacognitive monitoring. According to the analysis of the detection results, learners who applied the metacognitive monitoring strategy had a sense of detection of translation knowledge that selected appropriate vocabulary and grammar according to the translation consciousness considering the entire sentence, and the experimental results showed that the self-regulation ability related to translation increased. Conversely, learners who did not encounter metacognitive monitoring strategies showed the results of not achieving educational goals.

Circadian Rhythms and Depression in Adolescents: A Comparative Analysis of First Episode and Recurrent-Episode Groups.

Circadian rhythm disruptions are a hallmark feature of mood disorders. Patients experiencing acute depressive episodes report noticeable changes in their sleep-wake cycles. This research explains the association between depression and various circadian rhythm metrics, explicitly focusing on adolescents diagnosed with depressive disorders. Adolescence is a critical period marked by significant physiological and psychological changes, making it imperative to understand how mood disorders manifest during this phase. However, there have been minimal specific studies in pediatric populations to determine whether circadian rhythm changes differ between adolescents with first and multiple-recurrent depressive episodes. Our study involved a group of 61 adolescents aged between 13 and 18. We performed a cross-sectional study of a clinical population of patients presenting to a child and adolescent psychiatry clinic diagnosed with depression. Participants were asked to complete self-report evaluations using several tools: the Korean version of the Biological Rhythms Interview of Assessment in Neuropsychiatry (K-BRIAN), the Korean Translation of Composite Scale to Measure Morningness-Eveningness (KtCS), and the Seasonal Pattern Assessment Questionnaire (SPAQ). Tools such as the Children's Depression Inventory (CDI), State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI), and K-Mood Disorder Questionnaire (K-MDQ) were employed for the assessment of clinical characteristics of depression. Based on the frequency of their depressive episodes, participants were bifurcated into two distinct groups: those experiencing their first episode (n = 22, mean age: 15.09 ± 1.44 years) and those with recurrent episodes (n = 39, mean age: 15.95 ± 1.26 years). At first, the two groups' data revealed no significant differences regarding mood or circadian rhythm metrics (CDI: first episode 26.18 ± 10.54 and recurrent episode 25.90 ± 10.59, STAI-S: first episode 56.91 ± 12.12 and recurrent episode 57.49 ± 11.93, STAI-T: first episode 60.36 ± 11.63 and recurrent episode 59.09 ± 12.10, SPAQ-total: first episode 6.59 ± 4.86 and recurrent episode 6.77 ± 5.23, KtCS: first episode 30.32 ± 5.83 and recurrent episode 28.13 ± 7.36). However, we observed significant correlations between circadian rhythm disruptions and depression scales (CDI with SPAQ-weight (r = 0.26), KtCS (r = -0.48), K-BRIAN-sleep (r = 0.58), K-BRIAN-activity (r = 0.64), K-BRIAN-social (r = 0.71), and K-BRIAN-eating (r = 0.40)). These correlations were especially pronounced in the recurrent episode group, suggesting that with the progression and chronicity of depression, the relationship between circadian rhythms and depression becomes more intertwined and evident. In conclusion, especially in adolescents, as the severity and chronicity of depression increase, the interplay between circadian rhythms and mood disorders becomes more pronounced, warranting further research and clinical attention.

Vernacular Visions in North and South Korea: Interlingual Translations of Unyŏng chŏn (The Tale of Unyŏng) and Ideologies of National Literature

This article focuses on two translations of The Tale of Unyŏng (Unyŏng chŏn 雲英傳, early seventeenth century) into vernacular Korean in South Korea (1960) and North Korea (1966). Looking beyond the classical paradigm of interlingual and intralingual translation as “translation proper” and “rewording,” respectively, the article argues that translations of classical Korean fiction from Literary Sinitic into vernacular Korean represented a form of transitional intralingual translation as each nation navigated away from active membership in the Sinographic Cosmopolis and attempted to establish a new national literature and literary medium. Whereas the South Korean translation is tethered closely to the Literary Sinitic original in terms of lexicon, orthography, and representation of classical allusions and perpetuates three tiers of literacy, the North Korean translation hews much more closely to spoken vernacular and traditional kungmun manuscript versions of classical fiction and embodies the overriding North Korean policy of sinograph abolition and han'gŭl promotion.
