Analysis of Intersections in the Vicinity of a Proposed New Large-Scale Retail Store
Full text linkIn this study, a traffic volume survey was conducted for an intersection near a new large-scale retail store to be built in Echizen City, Fukui Prefecture, to determine the current traffic volume before the new store is constructed. In addition, the objective of this study is to analyze the current intersection demand rate and to analyze the future intersection demand rate based on the future traffic volume derived by forecasting the traffic volume that will be generated after the new intersection is constructed. The results showed that the future intersection demand rate was 0.36 on weekdays and 0.24 on holidays. Therefore, if a new large-scale retail store is built on the proposed site, its impact on traffic congestion at the surrounding intersections is expected to be extremely low.departmental bulletin pape
Supports and Trainings for Students to be Readily Competent Teachers (Aiming to Train Teachers Who Can Respond to Changes in School Education)
Full text linkThis paper reports on the efforts and results of the Teacher License Support Office, which supports students of the Fukui University of Technology who wish to become teachers.In 2015, the university started a three-faculty system consisting of the Faculty of Engineering, Environment and Information Studies, and Sports and Health Science. Besides the teacher's licenses for "Engineering" and "Information Science," students can now obtain teaching licenses in "Science" or "Health and Physical Education." In addition to the individual career counselling, we expanded the task of the Teacher License Support Office and started to provide lectures to prepare for teacher employment examinations coping with the recent trends in employment examinations. The attempt above resulted in successful under-graduation students who passed the public-school teacher employment examinations.departmental bulletin pape
Characteristics of techniques used in Japanese top level Karatedo Kumite competitions
Full text linkThe purpose of this study was to examine the characteristics of the techniques used in Karate Kumite competitions by analyzing the number of five techniques used in competitions: Chudan-Tsuki, Jodan-Tsuki, Chudan-Keri, Jodan-Keri, and Taoshi , by analyzing the top male Japanese Karate Kumite competitors. We counted the number of Chudan-Tsuki, Jodan-Tsuki, Chudan-Keri, Jodan-Keri, and Taoshi by the subjects in 47 preliminary matches in the 48th All Japan Karatedo Championship Men's Kumite Competition held in 2020, focusing on the first and second halves, winner and loser, and the presence of points. The main results were as follows: (1) there was a trend toward more Jodan-Tsuki. In addition, the number of attack in the second half of the game was significantly higher. (2) There was no significant difference in the number of moves between the winners and the losers. (3) Compared to the losers, the winners tended to score more points for all techniques in both the first and second halves of the match. These results suggest that in Karate-Kumite competitions, it is important to have counter and defense techniques to prevent Tsuki, the most commonly used techniques, and to have the match management and endurance to maintain the attack and defense in the second half of the match.departmental bulletin pape
Two-photon ionization of cis-1,2-dicyano-1,2-bis-(2,4,5-trimethyl-3-thienyl) ethene in the presence of cyclodextrin by using 266-nm laser pulse irradiation
Full text linkIn this paper, we report an investigation of the two-photon ionization (TPI) of Cis-1,2-dicyano-1,2-bis-(2,4,5-trimethyl-3-thienyl) ethene (DEcn) in the presence of cyclodextrin (CD) by using 266-nm laser pulse irradiation. TPI of DEcn within the laser flash (5 ns) generated hydrated electrons. The ionization quantum yield (Φion) of DEcn in the presence of β-CD, Glucosyl-β-CD (G1-β-CD), and 6-O-α-D-Maltosyl-β-CD (G2-β-CD) (1.0 × 10-2M) were calculated to be 4.8 ± 0.34 %, 14.2±0.55 %, and 4.9±0.25 %, respectively. Furthermore, we confirmed the dependence of Φion and τAve. and suggested that inhibiting the isomerization process by a substituent (Glucosyl group) of β-CD may increase the efficiency of TPI.departmental bulletin pape
Analysis of Multi-layered Structure of Time in Film On The Movie “Drive My Car” as a Case Study
Full text linkThe authors have focused on methodological research on regional promotional films using cinematic techniques that introduce "storytelling". The purpose of this paper is to discuss the "multilayered structure of time" in film work from the perspective of "time-axis design" proposed by Yoshiyuki Matsuoka. In order to verify the validity of the "multi-layered time model" proposed by the authors, this paper analyzes the images of the film "Drive My Car," Oscar-winning film, directed by Ryusuke Hamaguchi (original story by Haruki Murakami).departmental bulletin pape
Fish Fauna and Microplastic Pollution in Two Rivers in Fukui Prefecture
Full text linkIn this study, the fish fauna and microplastic pollution in two rivers in Fukui Prefecture were investigated for the purpose of increasing the number and diversity of fishes. It was found that there is a difference in the fish fauna between Hino River and Eiheiji River, even if both rivers are tributaries of the Kuzuryu River system. The analysis of microplastics in sweetfish in Hino and Kuzuryu River showed that they were not present at all, implying that there is little microplastic pollution in fishes in Fukui Prefecture. Continuous monitoring is needed to grasp the situation and improve the river environment.departmental bulletin pape
Examination of the video analysis method for paddling motion with a canoe ergometer
Full text linkIn canoe sprint, propulsive force is generated when paddling in the water (when resistance is applied to the blade). A canoe ergometer is a machine that reproduces the state when resistance is applied to a blade and utilizes it for practice on land. However, since the canoe ergometer is installed on land, we cannot see the moment when the blade enters the water surface. Thus, it is impossible to confirm the phase in which propulsive force is generated from the video image. Therefore, in this study, we calculated the acceleration data of the shaft edge from the video image of the canoe ergometer during paddling motion and attempted to derive the phase when the propulsive force is generated from the acceleration data. In the analysis, we used video images of paddling with a canoe ergometer in 10 men and 1 woman (5 kayak and 6 canadian subjects) belonging to the university canoe club. The analysis showed that it was possible to clearly derive the phase that produces propulsive force using the shaft edge acceleration data. It was also suggested that the subject’s performance can be quantitatively evaluated using the data of the shaft edge velocity.departmental bulletin pape
Influence of 60 seconds of deep breathing just before the 50m butterfly on swimming performance
Full text linkIn this study, we investigated the effect of a decrease in the partial pressure of carbon dioxide in the body due to deep breathing for 60 seconds (60s-DB) immediately before a 50 m butterfly swim on the subsequent swimming performance.
The subjects were five collegiate swimmers. Experiment 1: The partial pressure of exhaled carbon dioxide (PETCO2) at 60 s-DB was measured in the laboratory. Experiment 2: A trial (deep breathing trial) in which 60s-DB was performed 1 minute 30 seconds to 30 seconds before the start and then a 50m butterfly swim and a trial in which 60s-DB was not performed (normal trial)) were performed.
Results of Experiment 1: PETCO2 decreased significantly when PETCO2 was compared around 60s-DB (35.46±3.25 mmHg → 27.50±2.66 mmHg, p < 0.01). Results of Experiment 2: The respiratory rate of the 60s-DB trial (1.4±1.50 times) was lower than the respiratory count of the normal trial (3.2±4.4 times). There were no significant differences in swim record, stroke count, maximum heart rate, and RPE between the two trials.
Deep breathing immediately before the 50m butterfly swim contributes to the reduction of respiratory rate, but the effect on swimming performance may be small.departmental bulletin pape

Full text linkThis article reported statistics and some activities in the student guidance office as 2021annual report, and examined the effects of support for students in second year under the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. The results revealed that the number of counseling was the highest in the past 10 years, even though face-to-face classes were held only three days a week under COVID-19 pandemic. Counseling service delivery by online and telephone were almost 30% this year in second year under COVID-19 pandemic, compared to about 70% last year. The changes in students counseling before and after COVID-19 pandemic were as follows; 1) Diversification of counseling methods, 2) increase in the number of counseling during long vacation, and 3) Use by students to take online classes at Free Space.departmental bulletin pape
Relationship between non-contact and face-recognition type body surface and axillary body temperature
Full text linkOBJECTIVES: Although non-contact body surface temperature measurement has become the mainstream in COVID-19, it is believed that non-contact measurements such as face recognition type tend to show lower values. Therefore, we investigated the relationship between face-recognition type body surface temperature, non-contact type body surface temperature, and axillary body temperature.
METHODS: Three measurements of 32 male university students were taken. The room temperature and humidity at the time of each measurement were also noted. Significant differences and correlation coefficients between the measurements were examined. A risk rate of less than 5% was considered significant.
RESULTS: The Friedman test showed significant differences (p=0.0000006). Furthermore, Bonferroni's multiple comparison test showed significant differences between axillary and non-contact (p=0.00011) and non-contact and face recognition (p=0.0000028), but not between axillary and face recognition. In addition, no significant correlations were found among all measurements. Partial correlations that removed the effect of room temperature showed no significant correlations, but Spearman's rank correlation coefficient, which subtracted room temperature from each measurement, showed significant correlations among all measurements (p=7.76E-10, 6.7E-10, 2.75E-10).
CONCLUSIONS: Body surface temperature may be related to axillary, non-contact, and face recognition measurements.departmental bulletin pape
