A gendered analysis of fairtrade and organic standards and certificates : the case of the Uganda Organic Coffee Farmers' Association
The author conducts a gendered analysis of fair trade and organic S&C in the case of the Uganda Organic Coffee Farmers' Association. This study found that gender equality in participation in S&C matters for two reasons. First, female farmers tend to contribute to the production of higher-quality coffee than their male counterparts. Second, the intrahousehold distribution of benefits that arise from participation in fair trade and organic S&C is not equal between the members and their spouses. Some scholars argue that gender equality can be addressed more explicitly in the case of standards; for instance, in the form of mandatory certification requirements. Equally important was innovative effort and creativity being put in by each producer organization. Thus, it is advisable for regional Fairtrade networks such as Fairtrade East Africa to take the initiative in the collection of examples of best practices, and to share them widely among the relevant organizations.研究ノート(一般)(Note)departmental bulletin pape
Recent developments of the court-annexed ADR in Vietnam
法整備支援、ADRおよび「法の支配」を基軸として、近時のベトナムにおける合意型紛争解決手続(訴訟上の和解、草の根和解、調停対話法、裁判外の和解承認手続等)の法展開について論じた。I discussed the recent developments of ADR in the inside and outside of the court proceedings in Vietnam. And I proposed new model of "rule of law" in the modern Southeast Asia including Japan.論説(Article)departmental bulletin pape
Complex linear regression based on structural latent variable modeling
The content discusses the importance of models in problem-solving, focusing on linear models. Linear models' strengths lie in their simplicity and applicability, yet they require modifications for complex real-world issues. The dissertation aims to contribute to multivariate linear model literature with two key proposals. Chapter 2 introduces a modified Deming Regression, dealing with multiple variables and errors. Chapter 3 delves into Structural Equation Modeling (SEM), addressing its challenges and proposing a K-means Generalized Maximum Entropy method. This enhances SEM's efficiency by using k-means centroids. Each chapter is outlined, detailing their significance and methodologies, and simulation results are presented. The research strives for improved modeling approaches in practical applications.doctoral thesi
The FDI-adjusted trade balance of Japan
2010年代以降、日本では貿易収支赤字が常態化しつつあるもとで経常収支の赤字化が懸念されているが、経常収支の生じているこの構造的変化は日本企業の海外直接投資の増加に伴い直接投資収益が財サービス輸出の一部を代替し始めた結果である。貿易収支に第一次所得収支の一項目である直接投資収益収支を加えた新たな指標「FDI貿易収支」が、過去30年間GDP比2~3%の黒字で概ね安定的に推移してきたことがその証左である。同志社大学商学部100周年記念論文集(Special issue in commemoration of the 100th anniversary of Doshisha College Department of Commerce)departmental bulletin pape

Effects of matrix hybridization of polypropylene and polyamide on the bending properties of continuous glass fiber reinforced plastic laminates
耐吸水性やコストに優れたポリプロピレン(PP)とガラス繊維との界面接着性に優れるポリアミド(PA)の両者の長所を兼ね備えたマトリックスハイブリッド複合材料の開発を目的とし,PPとPAを種々に積層した複合材料の3点曲げ特性を評価した.繊維樹脂界面接着性に優れたPAを外層に利用すると高い曲げ弾性率が,内層に利用すると高い曲げ強度が得られることが明らかとなった.Polypropylene (PP) is excellent in water resisting property and low in cost, while polyamide (PA) is excellent in interfacial adhesion with glass fibers. In order to develop matrix hybrid composites consisting of all advantages of PP and PA, three-point bending properties of composites made of various layers of PP and PA were evaluated. When PA, which was excellent in interfacial adhesion between fiber and resin, is used as the matrix of outer layer, the matrix hybrid composites has a high bending modulus. When it is used for inner layer, it has a high bending strength.原著論文departmental bulletin pape
Effects of social problem-solving training on social skills, anxiety, depression, and self-efficacy for junior high school students
本研究の目的は,中学生を対象としたユニバーサルタイプの社会的問題解決訓練を実施して,生徒の社会的スキル,不安・抑うつおよび自己効力感の変化を検討することであった。介入は2回で構成されており,公立中学校の2年生136名を対象に授業時間を用いて臨床心理学を専攻する大学院生によって実施された。授業実施前後に社会的スキル,不安・抑うつおよび自己効力感を測定する質問紙への回答を求めた。その結果,社会的スキル,不安・抑うつについての項目で,介入後有意な改善がみられた。一方で,自己効力感の向上については有意傾向にとどまった。本研究の結果,短期の介入であっても,社会的問題解決訓練を学級で実施することで,社会的スキル,不安・抑うつの改善効果が示された。一方で,本介入では自己効力感に十分な効果は得られなかったが,介入内容の改善やホームワークの利用などによる自己効力感への効果の可能性が示された。研究論文departmental bulletin pape
