In this paper we are comparing how the OER (open educational resources) are developed in Higher Education in Finland and South Korea. We also present a comparison model for further studies. Essential findings based on our comparison are that in both countries there are many best practices of use of the OER and open learning. Open educational resources have great potential and their use can ensure quality teaching and learning. The activity has not inspired the great mass of higher education teachers in Finland and Korea. Traditionally, a teacher's job is working alone, and so a new operational culture is required. Our comparison indicates that numerous questions, fears and problems and cultural differences are also related to the thematic. There is an evident need for a new kind of strategic leadership, a new kind of teaching and learning culture and a doing together and production ideology for the method to spread. Based on our study the following interlinked elements of OER seem to be pivotal: changes to pedagogies, technology and operational culture; educational policy intention; and attitude to culture. Lastly, comparison frame by OER practice model is developed.

Mycobacterium paratuberculosis is the etiologic agent of Johne's disease, a chronic inflammatory bowel syndrome in ruminants. The attempts to control or eradicate the disease were severely hampered by the inadequacies of present diagnostic methods. The first purpose of this study was to detect Johne's disease out of 577 cows in the province of Kyunggi, Chungchong, Gangweon and the second purpose was to compare the results of non-absorbed ELISA, absorbed ELISA, PCR, and conventional culture methods. The third purpose was to increase diagnostic specificity, accuracy and rapidity. When non-absorbed ELISA test was conducted with Mycobacterium paratuberculosis antigen, the prevalence of positive was 10.9%. To increase diagnostic specificity, absorbed ELISA test with Mycobacterium phlei was used. In this test, the positive prevalence was 1.7%. For the specific detection of Mycobacterium paratuberculosis, PCR was applied to bacterial culture obtained from fecal samples of cattle. The DNA sequences derived from IS900 were used to prepare DNA primers for detection and identification of Mycobacterium paratuberculosis by PCR. PCR for M paratuberculosis isolated from fecal cultures amplified specific target DNA. PCR was much more rapid than that obtained by conventional culture technique in diagnosis of Johne's disease.

This study is focused on apparel textile design process applying pre-developed Korean traditional motifs. Since the fusion culture is in trend, Orientalism or Oriental look is the center of attraction in fashion. Under the circumstances, developing the traditional resources as sophisticated Korean-style is the goal of the BK21 team. This study makes a move to achieve the goal. As a method of accomplishing this study, 4 trendy motif samples such as stylized letter, butterfly, peony, and female face are selected after investigating fashion magazines and fashion related websites. As a result, pre-developted Korean traditional motifs are elected and revised using Adobe Illustrator 9.0. The newly revised motifs are applied to the textile pattern repeat form. The completed textile patterns are simulated on the simulated on the shawls to show their usages as one of souvenir items since the year of 2001 is the year of “Visit Korea”.

Cathamus tinctorius, Coptis japonica and Asarum sieboldii were tested as substrate for the production of Flammulina velutipes. Among the C. tinctoris , C. japonica and A. sieboldii , C. tinctoris was the best substrate for the production of fruitbody. The effects of addition of C. tinctoris to sawdust substrate resulted in the increased mycelial growth on inoculum culture, 3.1% in ratio of fully culture and shorted one day in culture period. C. tinctoris was decreased 6.1% in ratio of fully culture, 11.0% in ratio of fruitbody productive culm. The addition of C.tinctoris, C.japonica to sawdust substrate increased 134.6%, 114.1% on the yield of the mushroom fruitbody respectively . But A. sieboldii decreased the mycelial growth and pineheading ratio delayed the production of fruitbody.

In this study, we selected supplementary vegetable resources to develpe nutritious supplementary model of korean formula for infants and children, purchased and analyzed it to use with a model. We also referred to an old book about Korean vegetable resources and searched a form of vegetable resources. There are a lot of vegetable resources of various kinds which lied scattered in mountains and fields of our country. As for these, a beyond compare menstruation activity component is becoming clear with a lot of things. It is thought that depth search and study of these vegetable resources and practical application to a infant and child supplemen is desirable. Therefore, we choosed vegetable resources ; a Capsella brusapastoris, a Codonopsis lanceolata, Dandelion, a wild plant, a Tractylis ovata(dried), a Tractylis ovata(native), a Pine plant, a burdock, a JanDae, a Plantain, a HollpDae, which gathered in our country, and we analyzied priximate aomposition of sample (moisture, ash, total carbohydrate, crude fat, crude protein, dietary fiber) and micronutrient contents of sample (calcium, Iron, flavonoids, vitamin A, vitamin C, vitamin E).

Oilseed rape (Brassica napus L.) is an important crop due to its high oil content in the seed. Recently, the demand for the improvement of crop for biodisel energy source is increased as oil prices in the world has increased dramatically. Until now, oilseed rape breeding was carried out by cross-hybridization between different varieties and related germplasms. However, like as many other crops, the application of tissue culture and gene transformation systems has been introduced into oilseed rape breeding program including the development of transgenic canola plants. In this study, we reviewed a history of tissue culture and genetic transformation research in oilseed rape plants and indicated some important aspects for the production of transgenic oilseed rape plants.

Camptotheca acuminata, a native of South China is a well known natural source of monoterpene-indole alkaloid camptothecin(CPT), one of the most promising anti-tumoural compounds. This study was conducted to optimize plant growth regulators and culture conditions on plantlets regeneration through organogenesis from callus of Camptotheca acuminta. Callus were induced from various explants of in vitro germinated plantlets of C. acuminta using WPM medium containing 0.2 ㎎/L 2,4-D. Hypocotyl segments were exhibited higher embryogenic callus than the other explants. Shoot buds formation from embryogenic callus was affected by plant growth regulators, pre-treated dark condition and liquid culture. Organogenesis was optimal in WPM liquid medium containing 0.5 ㎎/L BA. The dark pre-treatment for 2 weeks before the solid culture was effective for organogenesis. The regenerated shoots were rooted in WPM medium with 0.2 ㎎/L NAA and successfully acclimated in green-house conditions.

Mycelium composites and leathers have versatile material properties based on their composition and manufacturing process. To prepare mycelium mat for the production of mushroom leather, several strains were mutated by gamma rays. Some mutant strains, including Lentinula edodes, Ganoderma lucidium, and Schizophyllum commune showed good hyphae growth rate and density on saw-dust media. Irradiation power (Gy), time, and height from the radiation source to the sample were examined. Based on the preliminary data obtained in this study, comprehensive research should be conducted to explore the optimal strains and culture conditions for mycelium-based leather production.

The objectives of the present study were to examine the relationship between catalase (0.1 mg/$m\ell$) and xanthine (5 mM) on in vitro maturation of porcine follicular oocytes. At 48 h after maturation, the proportions of oocytes matured to metaphase-II stage were significantly higher (P＜0.05) in the medium with control (72%), catalase (73%) or catalase plus xanthine (70%) than of oocytes cultured with xanthine (54%). On the other hand, oocytes cultured in medium with catalase and/or xanthine for 30 h were not significantly different in maturation rates (6~l4%). At 36, 42 and 48 h after culture, however, the maturation rates were significantly (P＜0.05) higher in medium with (49~70%) that than without (29~50%) catalase regardless of presence of xanthine. When the oocytes were cultured with periods prolonged in medium with and without xanthine, the maturation rates did increase with high proportions at 72 h of culture. No significant differences, however, were observed in maturation rates between groups with and without catalase. On the other hand, degenerated oocytes were increased with culture periods, the proportions was significantly (P＜0.05) lower in medium with (28%) than without (47%) catalase at 120 h of culture. However, there were no significant difffrences between with and without catalase in medium added xanthine. The parthenogenetic oocytes were observed from 72 h after culture in medium with xanthine, but were no significant differences between with and without catalase. From these results, it is indicated that porcine oocytes nay respond to maturation stimulus by 72 h of culture in medium with catalase and xanthine and that parthenogenesis can be obtained with prolonged culture periods.
