Significantly lowers decomposing time compared to other catalysts and can decompose with visible raysCan be used repeatedly on difficult-to-decompose waste water treatment and industrial economic effects expected Receiving attention as results of joint research by Korean-Egyptian scientist [January 9, 2017] A new path will be opened for the hard-to-decompose waste water treatment industry. YU Professor Shim Jae-jin's research team successfully developed a nano-structure catalyst without using oxidants and that is recyclable that can decompose over 99% within 30 minutes in both UV rays and visible rays. It is expected to provide epochal contribution in relevant industries in the future. Existing catalysis had problems such as being able to decompose only in UV rays but having difficulties in visible rays, requiring long decomposition time, and having low recycling rates of catalysts. In order to address the weaknesses of such catalysts, Professor Shim's research team successfully developed a catalyst using microwaves that can decompose organic tints even in visible rays by purely synthesizing with graphene-supported silver zinc/iron oxidant nano-complexes. Thde developed catalyst uses microwaves and is a hybrid nano-complex catalyst that applied silver-nanoparticles (10-20nm) and zinc/iron oxidant particles (30-40 nm) using a single self-assembly reaction, and it has a structure with excellent catalyst performance for easy optical pumping electronic-single pair separation and electronic delivery. This catalyst prevents combination of zinc/iron oxidant nanoparticles through interaction with graphene and it has a large surface area (BET surface area 179 m2/g, stoma size 3.6 nm), and can be used in both UV rays and visible rays. Furthermore, the decomposition time is short at 30 minutes and it does not use oxidants (hydrogen peroxide, peroxosulfuric acid, etc.). Furthermore, it not only improves the decomposition efficiency by 100-300% compared to past research, but the catalyst also has magnetic properties, making it easy to recover after use, and the after five uses, the photocatalyst reduction is less than 3%, thus exhibiting significantly high recycling rates. Professor Shim, the principal researcher of this study, said, "The graphene-metal oxidant nano complex that we developed can decompose wastes that are hard to decompose, and it also does not use chemical oxidants, can be used repeatedly, and has hhigh re-use efficiency and short decomposition time. Therefore, it is expected to contribute considerably to industries in the future." He added, "We will continue our research to develop high performing graphene-metal oxidant nano-complex materials by using clean catalysts so that it can be used for energy storing (super capacitors), optical catalysts, chemical sensors, and anti-bacterial bio materials." This study was joined by Dr. Amr Hussein Mady Hussein, a senior researcher in the national oil research center of Egypt, Professor Marjorie Lara Baynosa (PhD at YU) of the University of the Philippines, and Dr. Dirk Tuma of Germany's BAM Federal Materials Testing Center as part of the emerging nation support project (inviting foreign scientists and technicians to Korea) overseen by the National Research Foundation. The research results were included in <Applied Catalysis B: Environmental> citation index 8.328, top percentile 0%) online issue (October 2016) and will be published in an academic journal in April. In the past three years, Professor Shim published 68 nano-material related papers in SCI journals. The excellence of his papers were recognize (h-index 22) by being published in major journals such as <Journal of Power Sources> (2015, citation index 6.333, top percentile 3.7%), <ACS Sustainable Chemistry & Engineering> (October 2016 online issue, citation index 5.267, top 5.92%), <Sensors and Actuators B: Chemical> (2015-2016, 4 papers (including online), citation index 4.758, top percentile 1.78%). Furthermore, based on the research outcomes, he registered 14 patents and is very active as plenary, keynote and invited speakers in over 20 international academic conferences. He has served as the chairman of the Korean Society of Clean Energy (2012) and vice-chairman of the Korean Society for Engineering Education, and is currently working as the YU Industry-Academic Cooperation Team's Clean Energy Research Center Project Leader and the Clean Technology Research Center Director.

YU and Tonghua Teachers College of China, Chinese Foreign Cooperation in Education, Chinese government approved '2+2 Double Diploma Program' Open YU major course and dispatch professors to national university in China Expected to contribute greatly in attracting excellent international students from China [December 15, 2016] <YU and Tonghua Teachers College of China received approval from the Chinese Ministry of Education to pursue the Chinese Foreign Cooperation in Education program.> YU's education and research capacities were recognized by the Chinese government for its excellence. Recently, YU and the Tonghua Teachers College, a national university of China, signed an MOU and agreed to engage in the 'Chinese Foreign Cooperation in Education' program. The 'Chinese Foreign Cooperation in Education' program is a policy being pursued by the Chinese government to open join curricula between Chinese educational institutes and foreign educational institutes, and to offer joint education programs for Chinese students in China. Only universities that received approval from the Chinese government are allowed to engage in this program. In September, approximately 200 Chinese universities applied for the 'Chinese Foreign Cooperation in Education' program, but only 24 universities were approved from the Chinese Ministry of Education. In particular, 10 universities located in Jilin Province applied, and only Tonghua Teachers College, which agreed to engaged in the 'Chinese Foreign Cooperation in Education' program with YU, received approval. Through this program, dual diplomas between the two universities will be recognized, and thus the YU education program received international recognition for its excellence. For this program, Tonghua Teachers College Vice President Jiang Guo, International Exchange and Cooperation Office Director Lin Lingxia and Department of Food Engineering Dean Xu Jing visited YU on the 14th and discussed detailed operation plans. While meeting with acting YU President Kim Jin-sam, VP Jiang Guo said, "Among the universities that applied for the Chinese Foreign Cooperation in Education program in Jilin Province, only Tonghua Teachers College received approval from the Ministry of Education. This is the recognition of the Chinese government of the world-class education and research capacities of YU." He added, "We hope that exchange will not be limited to food engineering, but spread to other academic fields such as the medical sector." As YU and Tonghua Teachers College engage in the Chinese Foreign Cooperation in Education program for food engineering, plans are being made to specially pick Chinese freshmen who will complete the educational course in September 2017. Students will complete a two-year course at Tonghua Teachers College and a two-year course at YU to complete the '2+2 dual diploma' program. As part of this, part of the YU Department of Food Science and Technology major will be opened at Tonghua Teachers College and YU's Department of Food Science and Technology professors will be dispatched to Tonghua Teachers College to teach Chinese students. Acting YU President Kim Jin-sam said, "Actual international exchange between our universities have begun by opening joint educational programs and diploma programs with the approval of the Chinese Ministry of Education." He added, "Through the Chinese Foreign Cooperation in Education program, it will help attract international students coming to study at YU at their own expense such as completing a diploma program at YU by excellent Chinese students." Tonghua Teachers College is the only four-year university in southeast Jilin Province of China and was founded in 1929. It has 15 colleges and approximately 12,000 students. It was selected as an excellent university by the Ministry of Education's evaluations in 2016 and its strength is in its medical sector.

Pioneer of Korean 'edible vaccine' research Only Korean to earn PhD at the Boyce Thompson Institute for Plant Research at Cornell University Significant achievement in research for developing host cells for transformation Also engaged in multi-functional utilization research of horticulture [Electronic newspaper - Korean Scientist, December 5, 2016] http://www.etnews.com/20161202000322 "Due to the characteristics of the research sector, fast changes and development cannot be expected like other technologies and industries like other academic fields for horticulture. However, by integrating basic academics and bio-engineering such as plant physiology and genetics, the value of horticulture crops and agricultural products are rising not only as food ingredients for general consumers, but also for utilization by the medical and industrial sectors." YU Department of Horticulture & Life Science Professor Moon Yong-sun (46) is a pioneer in research on 'edible vaccines' in Korea. Professor Moon earned her PhD at Cornell University, which is especially famous for its research in edible vaccines. The Boyce Thompson Institute for Plant Research at Cornell was the first place to begin edible vaccine research in the United States and Professor Moon is the only Korean who earned a PhD here. Professor Moon, who researched development of edible vaccines at Cornell University from 1996, concentrated on research for acquiring vaccine effects by manifesting specific vaccines at specific times from plant seeds and using it in animal feed. Professor Moon said, "Research on edible vaccines achieved considerable success through 20 years of research since the 1990s. Despite this, there are difficulties in commercialization due to political conditions and issues on understanding by consumers." She added, "R&D has reached a level in which vaccine effects can be manifested by consumption for both animals and humans. First off, by using feed containing vaccines in the poultry industry that uses 100% corn feed, it will help greatly for livestock farms." "In addition, we have the cornerstone for producing orally-administered vaccines that can take the place of vaccine injections by developing transformants that can produce vaccines using bananas and tomatoes." She further added, "It is expected that by providing the basis for manifesting vaccines that can prevent Newcastle disease in chickens only in corn seeds, it will be possible to not only produce vaccines that can be used in poultry and pork farms, while also lower costs for feeds." Professor Moon is also reaping significant achievements in research on developing host cells for transformation (genetically transforming bio specimens or cells through DNA given from the outside) in addition to edible vaccine research. Host cells for transformation mainly used in past studies were microorganisms such as E. coli and agrobacterium, and had issues due to high costs. Due to this, the need to develop new host cells to manifest foreign proteins for transformation was continuously raised. Professor Moon developed a new microorganism host cell that can produce foreign proteins like vaccines by utilizing the pectobacteria, which is a pathogen that can cause soft rots in cabbage and potatoes. Professor Moon's studies suggest new ways to utilize pathogens that can cause diseases in crops, and therefore, it is expected to have significant industrial and economic ripple effects as it will broaden the range of using microorganisms. Professor Moon said, "By providing new pectobacteria host cells for excessive foreign protein manifestation and transformation, it is expected that there will be more options for researchers, and that it will have a cost-saving effect by eliminating the refining stage that is necessary for mass production of foreign proteins such as for vaccines." Professor Moon also said, "I have recently become interested in the functional material analysis, anti-oxidizing and anti-cancer effects of horticultural crops. In order to introduce the western vegetable 'rhubarb' that people eat the stems of like celery in Korea, I am conducting research on the cultivation features and its anti-oxidizing and anti-inflammation effects." She added, "I will make a comparative analysis on the medicinal effects of rheum palmatum (a kind of rhubarb for which its roots are used for medicinal purposes in Asia) to study the various utilization possibilities as horticultural crops such as using the stems for food, roots for medicines, and leaves for disinfection and insecticides."

Part of Ministry of Labor's 'Youth Employment Academy', joined by 178 project teams from 21 universities around the nation Created unique and original jobs such as 'Moss Gardener' and 'Slice Room Residential Manager' Profession that enhances uses of plants by integrating textile designs in natural moss wins gold [December 12, 2016] <YU students who won the gold and bronze awards at the 2016 Youth Employment Academy Job Creation Awards> YU students won the gold and bronze awards at the '2016 Youth Employment Academy Creative Awards' with their unique and original creative job items. This contest was organized to share the achievements of job creation by participants of the 'Youth Employment Academy Job Creation Process' hosted by the Ministry of Employment and Labor and the Human Resources Development Service of Korea. A total of 879 people from 178 project teams of 21 universities around the nation participated, and 15 teams made it to the finals held at the Seoul KDB Life Tower Dongji Art Hall on the 6th. After displaying the results of the project activities of each team and holding presentations, Harmony Team comprised of five students at YU's Department of Clothing and Fashion, Department of Horticulture and Life Science, and Department of Philosophy took home the gold prize with their job creation item titled 'Moss Gardener'. Team Heim comprised of students from the Department of Family and Housing Studies won the bronze with their item titled 'Slice Room Residential Manager'. 'Moss Gardener' refers to a person who uses scandia moss, which is a famous natural moss, and textiles to develop and apply various items that can be used in everyday life such as wall ornaments, interior and other goods. Team Heim that won the bronze came up with the job 'Slice Room Residential Manager' who would help residents of slice rooms living in areas that social welfare workers and residential welfare workers have difficulty in helping. Slice room residential managers would engage not only in examining the residential environments, offering services to improve residential areas, and making safety inspections of those in vulnerable residential areas, but also provide emotional support and help with employment activities to improve the overall life of those living in slice rooms. Team leader of Harmony, Park Go-woon (23, YU Department of Horticulture & Life Science, senior), who led the team during the seven month project period, said, "Horticulture had limited uses such as being used only for aesthetics or natural air purifiers such as scandia moss. We wanted to integrate the eco-friendly functional plants with textile designs to make everyday products so that its uses can be expanded." She added, "By linking with the new occupation of 'Moss Gardener', we are even planning on making start-ups. It will be possible to come up with a good start-up item by concretizing and branding the functions and uses of related products and the roles of a moss gardener."

Gafurov Dilshodjon from Uzbekistan completes bachelor's, master's and PhD at YU Department of Business Administration Preparing for start-up in Korea on 'online shopping mall integrating SNS' by utilizing experience as international student and major Awarded at various start-up and invention contests, currently applied for patents [December 21, 2016] An international student made news by preparing for a start-up in Korea with an idea that integrates social network services (SNS) and online shopping malls. He is Mr. Gafurov Dilshodjon (35, photo) from Uzbekistan. Mr. Dilshodjon transferred to the YU Department of Business Administration in 2005 and completed his bachelor's, master's and PhD programs at YU. After completing his PhD course, he is now currently working on his discourse and start-up. Mr. Dilshodjon is currently developing the 'Social Network System for Products Sales Service' that combines the strengths of SNS and open markets. Though he has not completed the platform yet, his idea and the initial platform constructed has already been recognized for its potential. Dilshodjon's 'Social Network System for Products Sales Service' won the bronze at the '2016 Foreigner Invention and Start-up Contest' and the '2016 Seoul International Invention Exhibit' hosted by the Korea Invention Promotion Association, and has currently applied for a Korean patent. Mr. Dilshodjon's idea utilized his experience as an international student in Korea and what he learned from his major. Mr. Dilshodjon said, "I majored in business information management and earned my master's degree with a discourse on online shopping. I am really interested in starting up online shopping malls as well." He added, "However, when I first came, I had difficulties with the language and it was hard to use online shopping malls and purchase used products. In particular, there were many things to prepare for in order to register as a business and start-up a business as an international student." Currently, in order to register and sell products on open markets, which are online electronic commercial websites, one must first register as a business, and so small-scale transactions between individuals are not allowed in open markets. However, person-to-person transactions are frequently made through services other than open market such as Kakao Story and other SNS, and therefore, Dilshodjon paid attention to the fact that there are many people using SNS for small-scale sales. Mr. Dilshodjon said, "Unlike existing open markets, I made it possible for individuals to make stores and sell products on the social network system. I am planning to improve accessibility of foreigners residing in Korea by including various language services and regional and national search conditions. For example, a Chinese person living in Daegu will be able to check items being sold by another Chinese living close by in Chinese language services." He added, "Initially, I am planning to have the services target foreigners living in Korea. Once there are more service users, I am planning that there will be many areas to additionally review such as overseas use and issues on business registration by sellers. I will concretize the platform that includes various statistics services and aim to open by next year."

School of International Economics and Business 'International Economics Research Society' proves to be incubator for trade experts In past 5 years, won 4 awards including grand prize and runner-up Adapted actual case to show damaged company, highlighted with legal analysis [December 2, 2016] <School of International Economics and Business International Economics Research Society that won the grand prize for two straight years at the College Trade Remedy Contest> YU School of International Economics and Business International Economics Research Society (Professor Jeon Jeong-gi) students won the grand prize at the '2016 College Trade Remedy Contest'. It was the second consecutive year that they won the grand prize. YU won four awards in the past five years at this contest including the grand prize and runner-up, once again proving that the YU School of International Economics and Business is an incubator for trade experts. The 'College Trade Remedy Contest' has been held since 2005 with the purpose of raising interest of college students on trade remedy systems and to foster experts regarding trade remedy systems, and is supervised by the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy's Trade Commission and the Korean Federation of Small and Medium Businesses. This year is the 12th event and it was joined by 164 students from eight universities around the nation. The theme of the contest was traditional trade remedy systems such as anti-dumping, compensation duties, and safeguard systems, and participants demonstrated the series of processes from case-studies to trade remedy rulings by acting in a play by adapting actual cases in the unfair trading sector such as violation of intellectual property rights and violation of origin marking. At the contest recently held at the Korean Federation of Small and Medium Businesses building in Yeouido, Seoul, each team put on theatrical performances related to trade remedies for 40 minutes each. YU's 'International Economic Research Society' won the grand prize and received the Minister of Trade, Industry and Energy Award and a cash prize of 5 million won. As about 20 students made up a team and they had to do case-studies, write scripts, make props, and put on an interesting 40 minute play, it took months just to prepare for this. 22 students of the YU International Economic Research Society divided their roles into the script team, acting team, and prop team, and prepared for this contest for about five months from June. YU School of International Economics and Business sophomore Kim Jong-gyu (22), who was in charge of the scripts, said, "We carefully analyzed the conditions of the Korean company at the time based on actual cases, and searched for relevant laws for legal facts that were in dispute and used in the script." He added, "I think we received good reviews from judges and participants because we made the public hearing part, which includes relatively specialized areas such as trade and legal interpretations in a way that it was easy to understand and entertaining." The YU International Economic Research Society's theme was 'Dumping import of Japanese stainless steel thick plate and damages to the domestic industry'. They made a play to explain the process of resolving the industrial damages of domestic manufacturers due to the dumping exports of Japanese companies through the trade remedy system of the trade commission. YU School of International Economics and Business sophomore (22) who was the leader of the team at this contest said, "I thought that it was important to make a good script and act without making any mistakes. Also, because it was a theatrical contest, the acting team practiced speech to express the script clearly and held numerous rehearsals, while making editions and supplementations to make the most of the characters," and added, "I think we gained knowhow through the years of work and awards received by our seniors. I hope that next year, our juniors will also work to win the grand prize for three consecutive years." The YU School of International Economics and Business International Economic Research Society is an international economics research academic club made up mostly of undergraduates. It was founded in 1989 and there are more than 100 students registered in the club.
