The study has been carried out to invetigate the possibility of oak mushroom (shiitake) cultivation on Ban Oak (Quercus incana) growing naturally in Simlaregion, India. The survival and growth of oak mushroom mycelium and fruit body formation on Q. incana as well as the composition of the log were compared with that of Bristle-tooth oak (Q. serrata) which are being used for mushroom cultivation in Korea. The results are summarized as follows. 1. The content of alcohol-benzen extract, NaOH extract, NaOH extract and ash were higher in Q. incana than in Q. Serrata. While cellulose and pentosan were less in the formers. 2. The mycelial growth of oak mushroom were more rapid on sawdust medium of Q. Serrata than on Q. incana. However the mycelial growth on the later were more compact. 3. The mycelial growth of oak mushroom were more rapid on the logs of Q. serrata than Q. incana. The mycelium survived well on both two species, and no difference in the survival rate of mycelium were observed. 4. The first fruit bodies on logs of Q. Serrata and Q. incana were appeared 16 months inoculation of spawn. 5. In view of the above results. it seems that the cultivation of oak mushroom (shiitake) on Ban oak (Q. incana), growing in India, is possible.

This study investigates the factors contributing to price fluctuations in the shipscrapping market, the final stage in a vessel's life cycle. Shipping companies make decisions on ship dismantling based on factors such as declining freight rates, increasing vessel age leading to higher costs, or compliance with new environmental regulations. Utilizing the FMOLS (Fully Modified Ordinary Least Squares) and VECM (Vector Error Correction Model) methodologies, the research explores the long-term elasticities of factors influencing shipscrapping prices and examines short-term causal relationships. Using a time series dataset spanning from December 2015 to April 2023, covering a total of 90 months, the study focuses on the shipscrapping prices of Capesize vessels in India and Bangladesh, which constitute a significant portion of the shipbreaking market. The findings indicate that, in the long term, shipscrapping prices are closely related to global scrap prices, 20-year-old secondhand Capesize vessel prices, newbuilding prices, and exchange rates. In terms of short-term causal relationships, an increase in global scrap prices induces a rise in shipscrapping prices, while the remaining variables do not contribute to such increases. Specifically, an escalation in shipscrapping prices is associated with increased prices of 20-year-old secondhand vessels, newbuilding prices, and exchange rates. However, the other variables do not show a significant influence on short-term increases in shipscrapping prices.

In order to prevent the losses of the rice by fungal deterioration during storage, fungal contaminants were isolated and identified from the grain samples (Milyang Nr.23) stored for seven months from December, 1978 to June, 1979 in silo, flat store and Tongari. Out of thirty cultures isolated from Korean paddy and brown rice samples, twenty seven species were identified, and there are eleven species of Aspergillus (A. caespitosus, A. condidus, A. chevalieri, A fischeri, A. fumigatus, A. flavus, A. nidulans, A. oryzae, A. ruber, A. sydowii, A. versicolor), five species of Penicillium (P. atramentosum, p. chrysogenum, P. cyaneofulvum, P. nototum, P. steckii), two species of each Alternaria (Al. faesiculata, Al. grisea) and Curvalaria (C, interseminata, C. tetromea), and one species of each Trichothecium roseum, Nigrospora sphaerica, Rhizopus nigricans, Fusarium spp., Mucor spp., Helminthosporium spp., and Gliocladiopsis spp. The major types of fungi grown on the surface of paddy during storage were A. flavus and A. candidus, while A. ruber and A. sydowii appeared in brown rice samples. And also A. candidus, A. versicolor and A. glacus groups were considered as major deteriorating microorganisms in stored brown and paddy rice in Korea.

Dengue fever (DF) is endemic throughout tropical and subtropical regions; however, it is not endemic in Korea. Imported infectious diseases should be suspected when encountering returned travelers with non-specific symptoms such as fever, rash, and headache. Persistent vomiting, abdominal pain, hemorrhagic tendency, hepatic enzyme abnormalities, and proteinuria are risk factors for the development of severe DF in a patient with DF. Severe hyperglycemia is also known to be related to poor prognosis in acute illness, and with certain underlying diseases that present with hyperglycemia, such as diabetes, it is related to the progression of severe DF. We report a DF case with severe hyperglycemia in an adolescent returning from India. Pediatric DF cases reported in Korea were also reviewed.

1. Objective : This study aims to evaluate the medical tourism structures in countries with prosperous medical tourism industry such as Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore and India in order ro propose optimal strategies that can promote the medical tourism in Korea. 2. Methods : All pertinent literature concerning medical tourism directly and indirectly were assessed, and reviews of medical tourism strategies found in various countries were evaluated. 3. Results : Evaluation of related literature reveals that medical tourism is a recent burgeoning industry that has grown In market size considerably in the last five to ten years. Also, it shows that oriental medicine is a highly likely candidate amidst the various medical fields for attraction foreign patients. 4. Conclusion : The Korean government should support and install appropriate legal and administrative bodies in order to attract medical tourists; Korea-specific medical tourism programs (ie. traditional Korean medicine package tours) should be developed in order to attract medical tourists from the western world and the middle-east. In addition, low-price policy of medical tourism is not a proper strategies for the competition against advanced medical tourism destinations such as Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore and India. Differentiated medical tourism package such as oriental medical tourism program rather than provision of low-price policy seems to be more effective strategy for the medical tourism in Korea. Future studies on strategies for promoting medical tourism should focus on how foreigners recognize traditional Korean medicine, what diagnostic approach might be appealing to them and how the legal system concerning the medical procedures may be altered and modified.

Objectives : The purpose of this study is correct the scientific name of Aquilariae Lignum in Korean Herbal Pharmacoepia. Methods : The production areas of Aquilariae Lignum and its trading status with China in Chinese history, Sanscrit-Chinese Translation Sutra, Naming year and the discovered district in main Aquilaria spp., Several nation's Pharmacoepia, The Plant List(TPL), Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild fauna and flora(CITES) and The International Union for Conservation of Nature(IUCN) were cross-checked. Results : The records in the Jiaozhouyiwuzhi written in the early 2nd century said that Aquilariae Lignum was produced in Vietnam. NanfangCaomuZhuang written in 304 said that Agarwood in Vietnam had white flowers. Vietnam had led production and trading of Aquilariae Lignum until Qing Dynasty. Aquilariae Lignum from Malaysia and Indonesia was not traded with China. In Sanscrit-Chinese Translation Sutra, India Aquilariae Lignum was translated as Vietnam Aquilariae Lignum. Aquilaria malaccensis was discovered from Malay-Peninsular in 1783, and has green or dirty yellow flowers. A. agallocha from North-Eastern India in 1814, white flowers. A. crasssna from Vietnam in 1914, white flowers. A. crassna is different from A. malaccensis in several ways, such as flower, fruit, seed and disribution. In several Nation's Pharmacoepia, A. crassna was a synonym of A. agallocha. But in TPL, CITES and IUCN, A. malaccensis was an accepted name, and A. agallocha was a synonym of A. malaccensis. Conclusions : These results show that the original species of Aquilariae Lignum in Korea Herbal Pharmacoepia should be reversed from A. agallocha to A. crassna Pierre ex Lacomte.

This study investigated the diversity of 323 mung bean accessions from Korea, China, and India, along with six cultivars, using 22 agronomical traits. The standardized Shannon-Weaver index (H') for the qualitative traits ranged from 0.11 (terminal leaflet shape) to 0.98 (pubescence density of pod). Likewise, the coefficient of variation for the quantitative traits ranged from 8.76% (days to maturity (DM)) to 79.91% (lodging rate (LR)), indicating a wide genetic variance. Hypocotyl color, pod color, seed shape, and seed coat surface lust showed different distributions among Korean, Indian, and Chinese accessions. Chinese accessions had the highest average germination rate, DM, days from flowering to maturity, and one-hundred seeds weight, followed by Korean and Indian accessions, while the number of seeds per pod (SPP) displayed the opposite trend, with all except SPP showing significant variation (p < 0.05). Similarly, plant height, days to flowering, and number of pods per plant increased in the order of India > Korea > China, with LR showing the opposite trend (p < 0.05). The mung bean accessions were grouped into four major clusters using hierarchical cluster analysis supported by principal component analyses, and all of the quantitative traits showed significant variations between the clusters (p < 0.05). Generally, the mung bean accessions investigated in this study exhibited wide phenotypic trait variations, which could be beneficial for future genomics studies. Moreover, this study identified 77 accessions that outperformed the controls. Consequently, these superior accessions could provide a wide spectrum of options during the development of improved mung bean varieties.
