Dietary phosphorus and phosphorus management in patients with chronic kidney disease
No full textAmong patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD), it is very important to control serum phosphate levels. Elevated serum phosphorus is a major etiologic factor associated with increased cardiovascular morbidity and mortality secondary to osteoporosis or calcification of blood vessels in these patients. To prevent excessive phosphorus intake, it is better to reduce the amount of dietary phosphorus intake; however, foods containing large amounts of phosphorus generally also include large amounts of protein. Therefore, minimizing phosphorus intake should not involve an avoidance of any and all foods containing phosphorus. In recent years, processed foods have become widely available and phosphorus intake from processed foods with phosphorus additives has increased. Since the bioavailabilities of phosphorus in plant-based foods, animal-based foods, and food additives are different, it is necessary to consider the origin of the phosphorus being ingested. However, it seems that clear evidence regarding phosphorus bioavailability has yet to be obtained
Study on residents’ impact of 3DVR contents of cityscape lost by big earthquake : Trial of VR modeling of “Enmadori-shotengai” at Higashi-honcho, Kashiwazaki, Niigata, Japan
Get PDFIn this study impact of 3DVR contents of disaster-stricken residential area to past residents was analyzed. “Enmadori-shotengai” at Higashi-honcho, Kashiwazaki, Niigata, Japan was focused on because of the past big earthquake at Chuetsu area occurred on Jul.16, 2007. At the first stage, height of each building was measured and databased using photos that had been taken before the disaster, and its surface material database was also constructed. 3DVR images of several seasons were rendered with original BGM by 3DCG software and were uploaded to major video-sharing website. These contents were appreciated by post-residents through head mount display (HMD), and were evaluated by semantic differential scale method. It was clarified that these contents were useful for recovering post-residents’ previous vigor
Crisis in University Education
Get PDFThis paper discusses the dangerous situation that the university baccalaureate degree education now faces. The seriousness of the situation is typified by the loss of the standards that should ensure the quality of universal college education and is testified by the fact that study hours of Japanese university students do not reach even the halfway mark of the statutory standard. The author argues for the necessity of increased learning time

Research study on coordination and cooperation between school and community for activation of "Period for Integrated Study"
Get PDFAiming to obtain basic data to build a model to activate "Period for Integrated Study", questionnaire survey is conducted on public school teachers 748 people for compulsory education in Niigata Prefecture.The progress of coordination and cooperation between school and community is correlated with activation of comprehensive learning, and the regional coordinators working at schools have achieved a certain result for proceeding coordination and cooperation between school and community. Under such situation, as requirements for the activation, teachers should first clarify the policy on coordination and cooperation between school and community, and then share the information on regional human resources with neighboring schools, develop the quantity and quality of regional human resources and communicate information on the school and its request directly to the local residents and businesses. Also, at the schools where a regional coordinator is actively involved, once the working space is secured, the teachers should maintain close contact with the regional coordinator, conduct joint training and develop the plan on use of regional human resources at the beginning of each school year.「総合的な学習の時間」を活性化させるモデルを構築するための基礎資料を得ることを目的として、新潟県内にある義務教育の公立学校教員748人を対象とした質問紙調査を実施した。学校と地域との連携・協働の進化は、総合的学習の活性化と相関しており、学校で活動する地域コーディネーターは、学校と地域との連携・協働を進める上で一定の成果をあげている。そうした現状において、教員は、学校と地域との連携・協働に関する方針を明確にした上で、地域人材の情報を近隣の学校と共有したり、地域人材の量と質を育んだり、地域住民や事業所に対して直接、学校の情報や要望を伝えたりすることが、活性化の要件である。地域コーディネーターが活動している学校では、活動スペースを確保した上で、教員が地域コーディネーターとコミュニケーションを密にし、一緒に研修をしたり、年度当初に地域人材の活用に関する計画を作成したりすることが、活性化の要件である
The current state of the use of regional child care support services in the declining birthrate region : Focusing on the relationship between municipalities A and the characteristics of the characteristics of people raising children
Get PDF本研究では、少子地域で子育てをする人たちの特性とそれがサービス利用に与える影響及び地域特性に応じた地域子育て支援サービスのあり方について明らかにすることを目的としている。地域子育て支援サービスとして「親子の交流の場」「子育て相談」「一時預かり」を取り上げている。これらの3 サービスを取り上げたのは、①対象やニーズが限定されていないサービスであること、②子ども・子育て支援法に基づく地域子ども・子育て支援事業で取り組まれている箇所が多い（多くの自治体で取り組まれている）からである。研究方法は、年少人口割合が対象県内の平均値以下であるA 自治体内のサービス利用対象となる子育て中の親に対してアンケート調査を行った。結果、地域子育て支援サービスには、「親子の交流の場」のようにサービスが持つ特性と利用者特性が深く関係してくるものがあることが明らかになった。このことが少子地域であるために生じているかどうかまで分析することはできなかったものの、地域における子育て家庭数の減少が、子育て特性を際立たせている可能性があり、今後の検討課題として示された。The goal of this study is to clarify the characteristics of people raising children in areas with low birth rates,the impact of this on service usage, as well as the state of regional child care support services corresponding to regional characteristics. The regional child care support services examined were, "places for parent-child interaction", "parenting consultations", and "short-term childcare". The reasons for choosing these three services are ① they are services for which the target users and needs are not limited, ② there are many places where, based on the Child / Child Care Support Law, there are many regional child and child care support projects underway (many local governments are tackling them.) The research method was to conduct a survey of parents currently raising children, who are the targets of such services within municipality A, which has a child population ratio below the average for its prefecture. The results showed that with regional child care support services, there is a strong relationship between the characteristics of the service and the characteristics of its users. It also became clear that it is necessary to develop services based on "regional childcare characteristics," i.e. the characteristics of the child-rearing stratum within the region. Although we could not analyze whether this is occurring because it is a region with a low birth rate, it is possible that the decrease in the number of parenting families in the area causes the child rearing characteristics to stand out. This was presented as a topic for future study
Frederic Rzewski’s The People United Will Never Be Defeated!Analysis of the Theme and 36 Variations
Get PDF本研究の目的は、アメリカの作曲家・ピアニストであるフレデリック・ジェフスキーの≪「不屈の民」変奏曲≫の楽曲構成を理解し、テーマと36の変奏曲の分析をしながら、シンプルな歌の旋律を複雑な現代曲に変奏していく過程を明らかにすることである。また、各変奏曲の多面的な探究を通して、曲に込められたメッセージが楽曲にどのように表現されているかを考察する。原曲の「不屈の民」はチリの民主化運動の時にセルヒオ・オルテガによって作曲された革命歌である。ジェフスキーはこの曲のメロディをテーマとして、36のピアノ変奏曲としてまとめた。楽曲構成としては、異なる音楽的特徴を持つ変奏曲が第1～第5ステージまで発展し、第6ステージではそれまでのすべての要素を要約していることが確かめられた。また、各変奏曲の分析結果から、サイクル5以外の変奏曲は三つの共通した音楽的特徴、①短2度と完全5度のモチーフ、②半音階や全音階のバス進行、③五度圏の調の動き、を持つことが分かった。本研究の結果から、三つの音楽的特徴が様々な要素を結びつける役割を果たし、巧みな変奏技法で長大な曲を一つに統合する過程を検証することができた。ジェフスキーはこれらのテクニックを使って、様々な人々が集まり、対立や衝突を経て団結し、新たな権力に抵抗していく姿を音楽で見事に表現したと言える。日本の演奏家や聴衆にとって、本研究がジェフスキーや彼の作品を理解するための一助となることを期待する。This study examines The People United Will Never Be Defeated! composed by Frederic Rzewski, a prominent American composer-pianist, through an investigation of overall structure of the work and an analysis of the theme and 36 variations. This examination reveals the complexity and diversity of the work and how this complexity is related to the power of uniting the diverse groups of people. The theme is based on a Chilean revolutionary song,“¡El pueblo unido, jamás será vencido!” (The People United Will Never Be Defeated!), composed by Sergio Ortega, and Rzewski composed 36 variations from this theme. It is clear that Rzewski achieves an incredibly elaborate formal plan for the entire work and the momentum from the first stage to the sixth stage represents how the Chilean people united to oppose the new power. An analysis of the theme and variations reveals that the whole music except for cycle 5 has three common musical features: the minor 2nd /perfect 5th motive (6-20 hexachord according to Allen Forte’s classifications), descending diatonic/chromatic bass line, and the circle-of-fifths sequence of the harmonic progression. These musical elements are used both in tonal and atonal variations so that the composer manages to maintain a certain unity through the lengthy work. This work is a wonderful gift from the twentieth century and a landmark in the history of variations. The present study has aimed to introduce Rzewski’s piano works to pianists and audiences in Japan, and give them the opportunity to perform/understand his pieces
