Research on a Nagasaki Panorama and British Consulate Report in 1860
Get PDFIn October 1860, little more than a year after the opening of Japan’s doors in the wake of the Ansei Five-Power Treaties, Nagasaki British Consul George S. Morrison engaged Swiss photographer Pierre Rossier to take several photographs of Nagasaki Harbor, including the proposed site of the Nagasaki Foreign Settlement. The first taken in Japan, the panoramic photographs provide invaluable insights into the scenery of Nagasaki as it emerged from the long period of national isolation. This paper presents the photographs and the entire letter sent by Morrison to British authorities describing the scenes captured in the photographs. For the first time, it also provides a concise Japanese translation of the letter, a foothold for further research in the field.departmental bulletin pape
A Study on Method of Structure Model Construction for Statistical Energy Analysis using FEM
Get PDFThis paper presents a structure model construction for statistical energy analysis (SEA) using FEM. Identifying SEA parameter regardless of the excitation method is demanded effectively. The proposed method is based on a combination of SEA and vibration response by random vibration analysis. This method is effective on an analytical cost performance for base excitation compared with the conventional force excitation method that is called rain-on-the-roof-excitation. In this study, the proposal method is validated through the two types of model, (i) simple flat plate consisting of one subsystem, and (ii) an L plate consisting of two subsystems. As a result, the method is shown to work quantitatively well to the internal loss factors and qualitatively well to the coupling loss factors.departmental bulletin pape
Analysis of the Christian Town of Arima in 16th and 17th century
Get PDFFrom the 16th to the 17th century, the reports of Society of Jesus missionaries who visited Japan fill the blanks of Japanese history in the Middle Ages. However, for lack of Japanese documents, it is difficult to create a concrete local image technically. Arima was a central place in the Christian era and provides a representative example. I analyzed the local constitution of the Christian town of Arima, introduce the study results because I think they help to clarify the overall perspective.departmental bulletin pape
Educational Potential of the Movie Medium--Audience consciousness changes caused by the movie "Miso Soup by Hana"
Get PDFThe movie is a passive medium compared to classroom work in school, where students are asking, talking and reflecting cooperatively. But when a teacher only stands in front of students and uses a blackboard to convey information, the situation is the same as seeing a movie. Movies could be a very effective example of a teacher- centered lesson, where audiences are passive. In this paper, the movie “Miso Soup by Hana”, which is based on a daily life drama, was chosen to see the effects on audiences. Association method was employed to make an assessment of movie audiences collectively. The consciousness of the audience changed in terms of , and even , where self-affirmative consciousness increased significantly (p.<01). The findings suggest that cooperative classwork could create more effective support for self-affirmative consciousness when a good teaching material is produced.departmental bulletin pape
Enhancing self-affirmative consciousness in textbooks for moral education of the People's Republic of China and the integration to patriotism
Get PDFMoral education is integrated with history, geography and politics, and so to the worldview of children in textbooks of PRC. In Chinese moral textbooks, four dimensions are found to enhance self-affirmative consciousness, namely, efforts: 1) to emphasize acceptance by others, parents, friends and society, 2) to realize a dream as a member of the Sino-centric society of China, 3) to assess self-affirmative consciousness by contribution to groups, class society, community and state, and 4) to recommend a method of portfolio management and autosuggestion. We can say that self-affirmative consciousness in Chinese moral textbooks is integrated to form the point of view of the communist party to patriotism. Compared to this integrated and strong moral education, the Japanese system has a character of reticence, where moral values are taught separately in each lesson. Japanese moral education allows individual integration of moral values to self-affirmative consciousness, which is a base of democracy.departmental bulletin pape
