The Assessment of Auditory Processing in Adults with Developmental Stuttering Based on Dichotic Listening Test.
Objective: The mechanism of developmental stuttering (stuttering) has been discussed in relation to the neurological auditory speech-language system. The dichotic listening test (DLT) has been employed to assess brain laterality and dominant ear. Recently, DLT has also been utilized to evaluate auditory processing and divided attention. This study aimed to examine the auditory processing ability of adults with developmental stuttering (ADS) based on the DLT.
Methods: All participants were right-handed and had no hearing disorders. The ADS group comprised of eight men with very mild-to-mild stuttering and four men with moderate-to-severe stuttering. The control group consisted of 11 participants (seven men and four women). Participants were asked to simultaneously listen to three different digits with their separate left and right ear and write them down. Statistical tests were performed using analysis of variance in a two-factor mixed design, with stuttering severity and percentage of correct responses in the left and right ears as factors.
Results: In the control group participants and among those with very mild-to-mild stuttering, the right ear was dominant. However, there were no significant differences in the percentage of correct responses between the left and right ears. Conversely, in the moderate-to-severe group, there was asymmetry in the percentage of correct responses between the left and right ears, with a significant decrease in correct answers in the left ear. Notably, two adults in the moderate-to-severe group exhibited pronounced right ear dominance.
Conclusions: The two ADS participants with significant right ear dominance had previously reported hearing errors despite being able to hear sounds. These individuals experienced difficulty dividing auditory attention and are suspected to have auditory processing disorder. Auditory processing issues may overlap as stuttering severity increases.departmental bulletin pape

The Role and Significance of Public Health Management in Response to Global Warming
地球温暖化の影響が私達の生活に大きな影響を与え始めている中、パブリックヘルス・マネジメントの役割が増している。新型コロナウイルス感染症(COVID-19)により世界的流行(パンデミック)となり、約100年ぶりに感染症が猛威を振るい、人類は危機を迎え、多くの人々が命を落とした。パブリックヘルスは、個人のみではなくみんなの健康を守ることを目標としている。本稿では、健康寿命の延伸が健康政策の中心となる中、健康を規定する要因には、環境因子がより重要となってきていることについての分析を行いながら、プラネタリー・ヘルスを達成することが今後重要となることについての検証を行い、環境に対する企業の取り組みがより重要な中で、ISO14001 認証等の質保証の役割についても検討した。departmental bulletin pape

A Brief Summary of the Architectural Styles of the Ancient Andes: Focusing on Huarpa and Wari Cultures in the Ayacucho Valley during the Pre-Inca Period
南米アンデスのアヤクチョ谷では、前期中間期(紀元前200年~後600年頃)にワルパ(Huarpa)文化が、続く中期ホライズン期(紀元550/600 ~ 1000年頃)にワリ(Wari)文化が成立し、それぞれ独自の建築様式を発達させた。ワルパは地元アヤクチョ地域のチーフダム社会であったとされ、この文化を特徴づける建築様式は一部の例外を除き、この地域内でしか確認されていない。これに対し、ワリは中央アンデス一帯に勢力を広げた国家社会であったと考えられており、これまでに巨大な周壁や隣接した部屋状建造物、D字形建造物、パティオグループなど、この文化独自の建築様式を示す遺跡が今日のペルー各地から報告されている。本稿は、ワルパとワリ文化の本拠地であったアヤクチョ谷に焦点をあて、今世紀初頭までに実施された考古学研究を参照しながら、これら両文化の建築様式について要約ノートとしてまとめた。departmental bulletin pape
