This study was conducted to see what types of bovine rotaviruses were isolated at Jedong farm in Jeju province and Seohwa farm in Chungnum province. The results were as follows. 1. Rotavirus was positively detected in 18 out of 39 fecal samples from calves with diarrhea in Jeju province and in 13 out of 18 fecal samples from calves with diarrhea in Chungnam province. 2. The electropherotype pattern of dsRNA for 31 viruses was shown to be 4 : 2 : 3 : 2 type like traditional group A and the imigration pattern of dsRNA was the long type like NCDV (G6), JBR (G6), B223 (G10) and KK3 (G10). 3. The serotypes of the 18 viruses of Jedong and 9 viruses of Seowha were shown to be group A, subgroup I, G6, and P1 by ELISA and PCR analyses. The serotypes of S-2, S-6, S-9 and S-12 viruses of Seowha were shown to be group A, subgroup I, G10, but was not shown to be P type. 4. The partial nucleotide sequence of VP4 of S-8 was 97% homology with that of BRV 033. VP4 of J-10 showed 96% homology with that of BRV 033 in nucleotide sequence.

The purpose of this study was to know the changing process of ethnic identity of the Korean-Chinese in South Korea. To this end, in-depth interviews with 12 Korean-Chinese Korean had been conducted in order to know how their ethnic identity was changing while they are settling in South Korea. Results had found that the changing of ethnic identity closely associated with their cultural adaptation process. There are three s changing stages of their ethnic identity. First, in the initial period of entering to South Korea, the Korean-Chinese were excited and filled with the hope for their 'homeland'. Second, while integrating into mainstream society they feel the crisis of ethnic identity. Social exclusion led them to reconsider their own Korean-Chinese identity. Third, at the present stage there are three different cognitions for their own identity--- Korean, Chinese, neither Chinese nor Korean. This study has offered a view to understand the acculturation process of the Korean-Chinese settling in South Korea. Without a doubt, their self-cognition of ethnic identity has a big impact on social integration in South Korean. Therefore, Korea mainstream society with Korean-Chinese needs to work together on building their own healthy ethnic identity.
