Infectious Disease Control Conditions and Challenges at Daycare Centers During the COVID-19 Pandemic: Analysis of Open-Ended Responses from a 2021 Survey
Get PDFReflection on and examination of infectious disease control measures implemented at daycare centers during the COVID-19 pandemic can be expected to contribute to development of future infection control strategies in these settings. For this study, we conducted an anonymous, self-administered questionnaire survey of daycare teachers in the Kanto region in February and July 2021 to clarify the actual conditions and challenges confronted by daycare centers during the pandemic. The questionnaire was distributed to 160 daycare teachers. A total of 135 responses were collected （84.4％ valid response rate）. The collected language data were analyzed using a text-mining approach using KH Coder™ （SCREEN, Japan）. The results, which revealed specific uncertainties, concerns, and learning needs of daycare teachers related to infectious disease control measures, indicate the extreme importance of science-based measures. The mental and physical health of daycare teachers engaged in responding to infectious diseases during the COVID-19 pandemic reflected their struggles with infection control because they had to respond in ways that differed from those of normal circumstances. The findings suggest that additional tasks related to COVID-19 caused mental and physical distress among daycare teachers.departmental bulletin pape

On the Early Modern Architectural Style （Kinsei Shiki） of the National Diet Building and the Meiji Memorial Picture Gallery
Get PDFThe early modern style, or Kinsei Shiki, was a style that combined older styles of Western architecture, from the Meiji era onward, with modernist architecture.
The two buildings considered in this paper were described as employing the early modern style in documents from the late Taisho period （1920s）.
They were built using the advanced construction methods of the time. Both had granite stone exterior wall finishes that impart dignity and prestige.
In contrast to the National Diet Building, with its colonnades evocative of order, square roof, and various relief decorations some of them Japanese style, the Meiji Memorial Picture Gallery uses a domed roof, arches, and simple decorations. Such differences arose because the designers of the time,
while conscious of modernism, also felt free to draw on styles of the past.departmental bulletin pape
