越前町における集約バイオマスメタン発酵の経済性検討
Full text linkThe economic feasibility of an integrated methane fermentation facility was investigated by applying the Ishikawa model cost function to Echizen Town, where many treatment facilities exist after the merger of towns and villages. It was found that sludge alone is economically disadvantageous, but the addition of the entire amount of food waste generated can be economically advantageous. On the other hand, when processing 30% of the food waste, the costs for the existing facilities were same as those for the integrated Ishikawa model. Since food waste is often incinerated as combustible waste, a future challenge is how to collect it. Other biomass such as fishery waste, pruned branches and mowed grass should also be considered as targets for methane fermentation.departmental bulletin pape
男子大学生陸上競技選手を対象とした継続的な栄養サポートの報告
Full text linkOur university provides nutritional support needed for all sports club members. In particular, we have been continuously providing nutritional support to students who belong to our university's track and field club for about three years. Sprints and Jump sports consume much more energy levels during training than during competitions. Therefore, it is necessary to emphasize nutritional support during training. They must receive the necessary nutrients in accordance with their daily training levels. Among the energy-producing nutrients, carbohydrates and proteins have developed guidelines and consensus statements for athletes. In other words, athletes can determine the amount of food they should consume according to their level of physical activity. This support included setting intake targets based on these evidences, and regularly conducting physical measurements and group/individual nutrition education. As a result, carbohydrate and protein intake has significantly improved. Also, lean body mass index improved slightly.departmental bulletin pape
変化の時代におけるカリキュラム改革
Full text linkDeveloping a curriculum is a comprehensive process that involves constant exploration, experimentation, implementation, and reflection of not only what students need to succeed, but also what teachers and the overall educational community need as well (Richards, 2001) (1). A curriculum document serves as a vision and mission statement for an entire institution. The document is divided into more parts by the active professionals – administrators, teachers, general educators – who lead the educational community while also being instructions for faculty and guidance for students. Eventually, the curriculum document becomes specific classroom objectives, content, and materials that are consumed by the student body. This is a constant process that requires active and critical engagement at every stage because curricula will need to be adjusted based on specific educational communities and the external factors that impact their environments. There is, however, a danger to repeat a process that is known and comfortable, even if it has dysfunctional elements. This paper is an attempt to identify and confront challenges to curriculum reform when tendencies and organizational cultures can lead us to remaining content even while external factors demand progressive change.departmental bulletin pape
不整地走行車両におけるアクセルペダルの操作性評価
Full text linkIn this study we focused on the operability evaluation and improvement of the accelerator pedal in off-road vehicles. Unlike on-road passenger cars, it is used under high intensity vibration conditions. The disturbance from rough roads affects the operability of the accelerator pedal. To evaluate an accelerator pedal operability, feedback questionnaire is common method for evaluation, but it is difficult to eliminate the driver’s personality and subjectivity affect to the evaluation. Therefore, we investigated a method for evaluating the operability of the accelerator pedal in a vibration environment using a vibration experiment device that simulates driving on rough terrain. We also used this method to study specifications for improving the operability of the accelerator pedal. We measured myoelectric potential and considered factors that improve the operability of the accelerator pedal.departmental bulletin pape
スポーツ健康科学部の学生における社会的ニコチン依存度と受動喫煙に対する理解度の実態調査
Full text linkThis study aimed to clarify the smoking status, social nicotine dependence, and understanding of passive smoke exposure among students in the Department of Sports and Health Sciences, Fukui University of Technology, and obtain basic useful data for implementing health education tailored to their actual situations. A questionnaire survey was administered to 135 male and female students enrolled in years 1-4 in the Department of Sports and Health Science, Fukui University of Technology. Questionnaires were used to determine the participants’ daily smoking status, social nicotine dependence, and understanding of the effects of passive smoke exposure. Social nicotine dependence was assessed using the Kano Test for Social Nicotine Dependence (KTSND), which indicated that 34.6% of students aged ≧ 20 years had a smoking habit. In addition, the social nicotine dependence score evaluated by the KTSND was higher than that of other university surveys. Furthermore, KTSND scores were significantly higher among students whose parents and friends, as well as older university students were smokers. These results suggest the need for health education practices that encourage smokers to reconsider their smoking behavior by providing lectures that explain the reality of nicotine dependence and characteristics of passive smoke exposure.departmental bulletin pape
Investigation of On-site Analysis for Heavy Metal Ions in Environmental Water by Combining Precipitation Technique and X-ray Fluorescence Analysis
No full textIn the present study, the analysis of Cr and Cd in sample solutions by a combination of precipitation technique and a handheld X-ray fluorescence spectrometer was attempted with a view to applying it to the on-site analysis of environmental water. As a result, it was found that Cr could be quantified to a level one order of magnitude lower than the permissible limit (0.5 mg L-¹) of the national effluent standards. On the other hand, the determination limit of Cd was estimated not reach 0.5 mg L-¹ due to its low SB ratio. In the future, in order to apply it to the on-site analysis of Cd in environmental water, it is necessary to reduce the background intensity by examining the material of the filter and to improve the SB ratio of Cd by more than one order.departmental bulletin pape
Changes of the Soluble Proteins in Polished Rice after Storage
No full textYoshikawa eggplant is a traditional vegetable at Sabae city in Fukui prefecture. In this study, we examined its seasonal variation of composition about taste for three years from 2018 through 2020. Water content became low, and brix value became high in November through three years. Fructose content was significantly (p<0.001) higher than glucose content, and sucrose content was very low compared to fructose and glucose. Gamma-aminobutyric acid and arginine became low since late in October through three years. Total amino acids content was changed by the year, and did not show constant behavior.departmental bulletin pape
Relationship between subjective walking frequency during class and bone density
No full textMaintaining adequate bone density is important for reducing the risk of requiring nursing care. Teachers who walk around their classrooms while instructing students take frequent steps amounting to light physical activity. Thus, teachers who are more active within the classroom might have higher bone density. We examined the influence of walking while teaching and sex on bone density in teachers. The study participants were 107 teachers classified as high- or low-frequency walkers based on their subjective self-ratings. The quantitative ultrasound method was used to measure bone density, and osteo sono-assessment index (OSI) was used as the evaluation variable. We carried out an analysis of covariance using age as the covariate. OSI was significantly higher in the high-frequency group than in the low-frequency group for walkers of both sexes. In addition, the average OSI value in the low-frequency group exceeded the standard values for the average age of both sexes. In short, teachers appear to have high overall bone density. Increasing a teacher’s physical activity within the classroom might further increase bone density.departmental bulletin pape
Programming Knowledge of Japanese High School Graduates
Full text linkThis paper investigates Japanese high school graduates’ programming knowledge, specifically those who have enrolled in a university major requiring multiple university-level programming courses. Participants were surveyed about their programming knowledge, general interest in computers, access to computers, and computer usage. Questionnaire data was analyzed, revealing low student computer usage despite high interest in computers and programming. Furthermore, concerns arise regarding limited student access to computers outside of the school system. Results show that only 82 of the 173 students had programming experience, but many of these students struggled to identify programming languages they reported to be familiar with, raising doubts about their experience. These findings offer insights into the programming and computer knowledge of Japanese high school graduates and highlight challenges faced by university professors in preparing students for IT careers.departmental bulletin pape
The Student Guidance Office 2022 Annual Report : Support for Students in Third Year under COVID-19 Pandemic
No full textThis article reported statistics and some activities in the student guidance office as 2022 annual report, and examined the effects of support for students in third year under the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. From the statistics, it was found that both the number of counseling and the number of users of the free space decreased in 2022 compared to 2021. This decrease was attributed to staff multitasking. In the third year of the pandemic, consultations related to academic issues, career paths, and employment accounted for 70%, suggesting a return to pre-pandemic conditions. Although the use of online counseling, which were widely utilized during the pandemic, decreased by 15%, it is expected that both online and face-to-face counseling will continue to be utilized after the pandemic subsides. in the future.departmental bulletin pape
