Abstract

Once again, we cherish the new issue of the International Scientific Journal of Engineering and Technology
(ISJET). At this time, the world is facing a great challenge posed by coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. Not
only has it ravaged global health and the economy, but ignited instant leadership, contributions, and
technological breakthrough. Thanks to the innovation in digital technologies, the economy could still operate
under social distancing measures. The Republic of Korea has promptly developed the COVID-19 test kits with
the help of AI. Singapore has launched an app called Trace Together using Bluetooth signals between
smartphones. While in Thailand, the research team led by Vidyasirimedhi Institute of Science and Technology
(VISTEC) has developed the rapid test kit based on CRISPR technology.
Rome was not built in a day. The technologies the world uses to fight COVID-19 are achieved by uncountable
researches of science and technology across multidisciplinary approaches. That is, ultimately, the goal of ISJET.
This journal will be dedicated to serving as a bridge for scholars to share their discoveries on advanced research
in all fields of sciences: Engineering, Technology, and Innovation. On behalf of the Editorial Board, I would
like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who has complemented our goal by contributing to the ISJET.
