Novel Teaching Strategies for Basic Seminars in First-Year Education and Student Reactions to Them
Get PDF初年次の教育が、新入生の不安を軽減し、学修に対する動機づけを高める効果があることが示されている。本学の初年次教育の一つとして基礎ゼミが配置されている。関連施設見学が主なプログラムであるが、各教員が少人数のゼミを担当し、様々な工夫をして学修目標に達するよう指導している。本報告は基礎ゼミで行った指導による学生の学びの変化をアンケートにより把握することを目的とする。講義では、予習・復習といった自己学修を行う時間や場所、内容を具体的にする指導や、『自分はどのような療法士になりたいか。』というテーマで課題設定を行い学生による発表を行った。全8 回の講義後、ウェブによるアンケートを実施した。本報告では、著者が実施した基礎ゼミの内容と受講学生のアンケート結果について紹介する。Reportrepor
Comparison of Physiological Indices When Using Fresh and Artificial Flowers and Herbs in Floral Arrangements -How Different Materials Affect People-
Get PDF植物が人へ与える影響についての研究は緑地工学やグリーンアメニティの分野で多数報告があり、植物の香りと脳波の関係や植物の色によるストレス軽減効果についても報告されている。
本研究の目的は、植物を使ったフラワーアレンジメント時の自律神経や脳波の変化を観察し、リハビリテーション的側面から効果を検討することである。対象者は健常成人11 名（男性6 名、女性5 名、年齢20-21 歳）とした。研究方法は、生花・造花・ハーブの3 条件下でフラワーアレンジメントを行い、フラワーアレンジメント中の生理指標の測定とフラワーアレンジメント前後の心理状態についてアンケートにより一時的気分尺度（Temporary Mood Scale：以下、TMS）を測定した。
結果は、3 条件下でフラワーアレンジメントを行った時の自律神経活動の有意差は認められなかったが、フラワーアレンジメント時の脳波ではFm θの出現が認められた。TMS の結果では、フラワーアレンジメント後に気分の混乱や抑うつが軽減された可能性を示した。これらの結果より、リハビリテーション場面でフラワーアレンジメントを導入するとストレス緩和効果や集中力の向上、気分の混乱と抑うつを軽減する効果が示された。articl
Correlation between the number of older patients with fractures and food consumption by prefecture
No full textBackground: The number of centenarians in Japan has been steadily increasing since statistical records began, reaching 99,763 in September 2025. Interestingly, there is an approximately 3.5-fold variation in the number of centenarians by prefecture, so some prefectures have many more centenarians than others. We have previously reported on the coexistence of dementia and fractures among centenarians and the relationship between dementia and food consumption.
Methods: In this report, we examine the correlation between fractures and food consumption using the database Todo-ran which includes the data of fracture patients among elderly population, and food consumption of 47 prefectures of Japan.
Results: We found that areas with low fracture rates among older people had high consumption of wakame seaweed, natto, and pork cutlet.
Conclusion: Based on the nutrient content of the foods, we suggest that vitamin K intake is associated with a decrease in fracture rates among people aged ≥65 years.Original Articlearticl
Early improvement in cognitive function as a predictor of rehabilitation outcomes in cerebrovascular disease and patient motivation as a strong predictor of recovery in disuse syndrome
No full textGraduate School of Osaka Kawasaki Rehabilitation UniversityMasterBackground: We investigated how decreased motivation and cognitive decline affected rehabilitation outcomes in 221 inpatients (146 with cerebrovascular
disease, 75 with disuse syndrome) that were prescribed speech therapy as part of their rehabilitation at Wakakusa Ryuma Rehabilitation Hospital, Japan, in 2022.
Methods: On admission, we assessed the patients’ motivation by vitality index, cognitive function by Hasegawa dementia scale-revised, and swallowing ability using Fujishima’s Swallowing Grade. At discharge, we analyzed function independence measure gain in relation to these factors.
Results: In patients with cerebrovascular disease, higher motivation and cognitive scores at admission were found to be linked to greater functional independence measure gains. In patients with disuse syndrome, motivation was found to have a greater effect on functional independence measure gain than cognitive function.
Conclusions: Early improvement in cognitive function predicted better rehabilitation outcomes in patients with cerebrovascular disease, and the patient’s motivation was a strong predictor of recovery in those with disuse syndrome.articl
Effects of landmark availability on saccades driven by target position memory encoded in different spatial reference frames during the memory-guided saccade task
No full textBackground: The memory-guided saccade task is widely used to investigate spatial working memory, and in this paradigm saccades, which are rapid, voluntary movements of the eyes between fixation points, are typically guided by egocentric reference frames. However, spatial information can also be encoded in allocentric frames.
Methods: In this study, we tested whether the reference frame engaged in the memory-guided saccade task can be flexibly modulated by the presence
of visual landmarks. Participants performed the memory-guided saccade task under two conditions: with landmarks and without landmarks.
Results: Success rates were higher and latencies were shorter in the ‘with landmarks’ condition, indicating that landmark availability altered the performance
strategy by shifting the reliance between allocentric and egocentric reference frames.
Discussion: Depending on landmark availability, target positions in the memory-guided saccade task may be encoded in different spatial reference frames. Our results suggest that the memory-guided saccade paradigm provides a simple and powerful tool that can be used to investigate how distinct reference frames contribute to memory-guided behavior.Original Articlearticl
