Britain’s Capitalism in 1851 － relation to its full-scale stage － : a cross section
Get PDFThis paper attempted to present a cross section of Britain’s economy in
the year 1851. The cross section revealed the following facts. ①In both the
primary and secondary industries（P.I. and S.I., respectively）, the number of
wage-earning laborers was well above two-thirds the sector’s total workers.
But the number of working people in S.I. was still under two times of that
of P.I. And the capacity of S.I. as a whole to yield GDP had not reached two
times that of total P.I. In these respects, Britain’s economy in 1851 had not
reached the full-scale stage of capitalistic society. ②The average number of laborers per enterprise was about 9 in agriculture, and about 8 in S.I. But
in S.I., of the 4.11 million people working in manufacturing and construction,
nearly 40 % labored at entities which employed more than 35 people. This
curious gap in the S.I. can be explained by the following facts: In S.I., there
were innumerable small businesses on the one hand, and a（ relatively）small
number of textile industries on the other（ the representative one being the
cotton industry）, which employed outstandingly large numbers of laborers.
③On the per capita capacity to yield GDP, P.I. was ahead of S.I. This can be
accounted for by the advanced position of British agriculture which had been made capitalistic long before this and in which, though it may seem
contradictory, nearly half（ in number） of all farm lands was in the hands of
occupying owners（. But this did not mean a higher wage level in agriculture.
On the contrary, agricultural wages were lower.）. In this regard, S.I. was
running after P.I.,which stands in stark contrast to the case of Japan after
the Meiji Restoration. ④Basically, Britain had already completed hernationwide network of railways by 1851. But due to the immaturity of steel
making know-how, rails were made of wrought iron, not of steel. Motive
power was still at the stage of reciprocating steam-engine, which was used
widely in the railway, textile, and iron-manufacture industries, but relatively
rarely in others. Moreover, turbines and internal-combustion engines would
not come on stage until much later. As for the form of business entity, joint
stock companies were dominant in the banking, railway, gas, and insurance
industries, but otherwise Britain was still in the age of private firms. In
manufacturing industries including cotton, joint stock companies were rare.departmental bulletin pape
An Analysis of an Online Reading Task for Raising Global Awareness During Emergency Remedial Teaching
Get PDFThis paper evaluates a reading task developed and implemented as Emergency
Remedial Teaching, intended as a replacement for an extensive
reading program. This online reading task, designed to develop learners’
reading fluency, also aimed to enhance awareness of global current affairs.
The implementation of the task, student self-selection and perspectives are
analyzed and discussed. Suggestions are given on how to increase efficacy
of this reading task and further align it with extensive reading principles.departmental bulletin pape

Literature Review on Life Support for Parents with Mental Disorders and Their Children
Get PDFThis study reviewed life support for parents with mental disorders and their children. It
aimed to obtain reliable knowledge to develop effective life support for them in Japan.
We used Citation Information by the National Institute of Informatics and J-Dream III
(Japanese databases) to gather data from 2008 to 2018. The literature during this period
identified 26 original articles as subjects for analysis out of 241 related articles.
The results were classified into the following categories: childcare and support for children,
support for parents with mental disorders, and supporters and support systems.
The keywords for effective support are introduction to family psychoeducation and selfhelp groups for children, comprehensive assessment and outreach throughout life,
collaboration between child welfare agencies and mental health agencies，and placement of
social work professionals in child welfare agenciesdepartmental bulletin pape
Aspectos Generales de la Lengua de Signos Japonesa（JSL）, El Subtitulado y sus Posibles Usos de Cara a una Interpretación Universal no solo para la Comunidad Sorda.
Get PDFIn this paper we analyze the use of various tools that the Japanese deaf
community uses when communicating with others and consider if and how
these could be applied to alleviate communication problems among people
outside of this particular community. By necessity, the deaf community, not
only in Japan, but globally, relies on the visual aspect more than any spoken
language. Physical characteristics in sign language（hands position, body reaction, facial expression, movement speed, etc.）carry additional significant
meaning. In addition to the signed language, the use of text in the Japanese
media takes on special importance. Subtitling in Japan（reading direction,
the use of “Kanji” to save space, the color code, etc.）both for the deaf and
for the non-deaf, are used with the images in cinema, T.V. and the Internet.
Its varied and flexible use allows the adding of extra information to the visual
image without resorting to the oral aspect, especially in the subtitling for the deaf community. Combined, the aspects of physical communication and the
use of text provide rich information using only the visual, not the aural channels of communication. This research considers whether these mechanisms
of communication could be useful and effective, not only if their use was extended globally in the deaf community itself, but also for a better interpretation of information at a general level when there may be communication
problems, either due to deficient knowledge of the language, or due to other
insufficient information.departmental bulletin pape
