The in-vitro meat is a novel concept in food biotechnology comprising field of tissue engineering and cellular agriculture. It involves production of edible biomass by in-vitro culture of stem cells harvested from the muscle of live animals by self-organizing or scaffolding methodology. It is considered as efficient, environmental friendly, better ensuring public safety and nutritional security, as well as ethical way of producing meat. Source of stem cells, media ingredients, supply of large size bioreactors, skilled manpower, sanitary requirements, production of products with similar sensory and textural attributes as of conventional meat, consumer acceptance, and proper set up of regulatory framework are challenges faced in commercialization and consumer acceptance of in-vitro meat. To realize any perceivable change in various socio-economic and environmental spheres, the technology should be commercialized and should be cost-effective as conventional meat and widely accepted among consumers. The new challenges of increasing demand of meat with the increasing population could be fulfill by the establishment of in-vitro meat production at large scale and its popularization. The adoption of in-vitro meat production at an industrial scale will lead to self-sufficiency in the developed world.

Although the life-sustaining treatment decision law is in effect, health care worker have many difficulties in determining life-sustaining treatment. Therefore, the relationship between the awareness of well-dying(WD), the attitude toward withdrawal of life-sustaining treatment(AWLST), and the attitude toward euthanasia(AE) for nursing students who will take care of dying patients in the future will be analyzed and used as basic data for bioethics classes. The study period was from April 1 to May 6, 2018, and a survey was conducted on 288 nursing students in D City. As a result of the study, WD was found to have positive (+) correlations with AWLST and AE, while AWLST was positive (+) with active and passive euthanasia. As nurses are expected to experience many ethical conflicts in the life-sustaining treatment process, it is necessary to receive education related to well-dying awareness, bioethics education, and life-sustaining treatment during the nursing student period.

Purpose: This study is descriptive survey research on the analysis of nurses' perception of the 4th industrial revolution and the importance and performance of future core nursing competencies in a tertiary hospital located in Seoul. Methods: Data were collected from 149 nurses with more than a year of work experience and analyzed using descriptive statistics, t-test, one-way ANOVA, and Importance Performance Analysis(IPA) with the IBM SPSS/WIN 25.0 program. Results: The nurses' perception of the 4th industrial revolution was 3.23±0.71 out of 5 points. The importance of future core nursing competencies was 4.31±0.48, and the performance of it was 3.47±0.54. The analysis results of IPA showed that A (area of continuous maintenance) included critical thinking, problem-solving skills, teamwork and collaboration, evidence-based practice, communication, quality improvement and safety, professionalism, self-regulation and self-management, and personal literacy. The specific competencies were not included in B (area of priority improvement). Creativity, informatics, healthcare policy, leadership, research ability, and continuing education were included in C (area of progressive improvement). Knowledge and patient-centered care, ability to manage resources as well as professional, legal, and ethical responsibility were included in D (area of overinvestment). Conclusion: The nurses seemed not to be fully prepared for the 4th industrial revolution. However, they were well aware of the importance of the future core nursing competencies. Therefore, if nurses increase the performance of core competencies in order of priority according to the IPA results, they will be able to independently lead the changing nursing field.

With the introduction of generative artificial intelligence(AI) tools such as OpenAI's Sora into the global film industry, including Hollywood, there has been a simultaneous emergence of innovations in film production as well as various crises. These changes are spreading throughout the entire film production process, including scriptwriting, casting, editing, and acting. This study analyzes the impact of AI on the film industry, particularly Hollywood, and explores how this technology might bring about changes in Korean cinema. AI technologies applied in the film industry offer benefits such as reducing production time and costs. However, they also pose threats to many filmmakers and actors who rely on the traditional production methods, leading to ethical and legal issues. In Hollywood blockbuster films, AI technology is used to create realistic visual effects, analyze scripts, and suggest optimal shooting angles. While these applications improve the qualitative level of films, they also reduce the human resources required in traditional film production processes. The impact on the Korean film industry is also noteworthy. Some Korean film production companies are leveraging AI to create films in a more creative and efficient manner. Efforts are being made to analyze audience data using AI and develop storylines that appeal to a larger audience. However, these technological changes are controversial among many Korean filmmakers who prefer traditional production methods. This study provides an in-depth discussion on whether the adoption of AI in the film industry can bring about positive innovation or inevitably lead to crises. It analyzes how AI technology is transforming traditional roles in the film industry and what new opportunities and challenges this change generates within the industry. Additionally. This study highlights the differences in technology adoption between Hollywood and Korean film industry and explores how each industry is embracing these technological changes.
