植芝盛平の武道論における「神」観念
Get PDFUeshiba Morihei (1883-1969) started developing Aikidō from the last years of the 1920s decade on, based on the jujutsu and kenjutsu techniques he had practiced up until this time, especially Daito ryu jujutsu. In his technical manual of 1938 named "Budō", Ueshiba starts the essay that opens the book with this line: "Budō is the way of the Kami by them founded, as the way of the spirit of the infi nite and eternal creation of the whole world, which is true, good and beautiful." "Budō", the martial arts, are mentioned in connection with 'Kami', and defi ned as the way of the divine. Since Ueshiba states that "Budō is the way of the 'Kami' by them founded", it comes clear that the idea of deity occupies a very important place in his "Budō" theory. Looking at his writings, it can be seen that whenever he explains "Budō", he places 'Kami' at its core. However, there has been no thorough research into where this concept of deity is taken from, or what its nature is. This paper analyses the concept of deity in the context of Ueshiba Morihei's thought and examines its relationship to "Budō" and Japan. Taking up Ueshiba's writings from the 1930s, the formative years of Aikidō, it attempts to shed light on the question of what 'deity' means to him and how it is defined in his theory of "Budō". The concept of deity in Ueshiba's writings is examined from four aspects: (1) Deity and man, (2) Deity and Budō, (3) Individualized deities, and (4) Deity and Japan. In Ueshiba's writings, there are two types of deities of different divine nature: the complete 'Kami' and the “kami of heaven and earth". By aligning oneself with the kami of heaven and earth, one can grasp the power of the divine miitsu, and at the same time draw the Kami into the body for the advancement of the cosmos. This is for Ueshiba the true Budō, and the relationship between man and deity. In addition, Ueshiba recognized that in order for the union of the man and the kami of heaven and earth to become possible, there had to be a being who could intervene as a guide. This was the emperor, and he defined this union through the guidance of the emperor as the 'Divine-Imperial Way' (Kōdō). Therefore, in Ueshiba's theory the deity is universal and absolute, yet multiple and reachable. At the same time, it has a particularity that is only connected to the Japanese people, nonetheless, this does not represent a contradiction in his view.departmental bulletin pape
日本人大学生における反すうの特徴:主要なパーソナリティ変数との関連および性差の二次分析
Get PDF本研究では,Umegaki and Higuchi(2022)がインターネット質問紙調査によって収集した日本人大学生1,030名(女性726名)のデータの二次分析を通して,(1)反すう傾向とビッグ・ファイブ特性およびBIS/BAS傾向の関連,(2)反すう傾向における性差,(3)反すうを統制した際に抑うつの性差が見られなくなるか,を調べることを目的とした。分析の結果,反すう傾向とパーソナリティ変数との間には一定の関連が見られた。また,反すう傾向には性差が認められ,女性の方が高かった。抑うつの性差は,反すうの影響を統制してもなお認められた。得られた結果について考察し,今後の展望を述べた。奈良女子大学心理臨床研究 第10号 第1部 研究論文departmental bulletin pape

Post-flood relief and agricultural development in Bangladesh
No full textRice production drastically increased in Bangladesh after severe flood years during the 1980s, 1990s, and 2000s. Currently, Bangladesh is the third largest country in the world in terms of rice production. It was found that the production of Aman rice did not decrease in the rainy season, but the production of Boro rice showed great increase in the dry season, which resulted in the increase of overall production level after flood years. In this study, socio-economic changes in flood years were revealed from the analysis of the newspaper articles during post-flood seasons. Government supports were prompt but also inadequate; hence, in some regions farmers managed irrigation source on their own, which led to an increase of the overall rice production.journal articl
Thermally-assisted photosensitized emission in a trivalent terbium complex
No full textLuminescent lanthanide complexes containing effective photosensitizers are promising materials for use in displays and sensors. The photosensitizer design strategy has been studied for developing the lanthanide-based luminophores. Herein, we demonstrate a photosensitizer design using dinuclear luminescent lanthanide complex, which exhibits thermally-assisted photosensitized emission. The lanthanide complex comprised Tb(III) ions, six tetramethylheptanedionates, and phosphine oxide bridge containing a phenanthrene frameworks. The phenanthrene ligand and Tb(III) ions are the energy donor (photosensitizer) and acceptor (emission center) parts, respectively. The energy-donating level of the ligand (lowest excited triplet (T_1) level = 19,850 cm_−1) is lower than the emitting level of the Tb(III) ion (^5D_4 level = 20,500 cm_−1). The long-lived T1 state of the energy-donating ligands promoted an efficient thermally-assisted photosensitized emission of the Tb(III) acceptor (^5D_4 level), resulting in a pure-green colored emission with a high photosensitized emission quantum yield (73%).This work was partially supported by a grant-in-aid for grant numbers JP20H02748,

Photon Reconstruction in the Belle II Calorimeter Using Graph Neural Networks
No full textWe present the study of a fuzzy clustering algorithm for the Belle II electromagnetic calorimeter using Graph Neural Networks. We use a realistic detector simulation including simulated beam backgrounds and focus on the reconstruction of both isolated and overlapping photons. We find significant improvements of the energy resolution compared to the currently used
reconstruction algorithm for both isolated and overlapping photons of more than 30% for photons with energies E < 0.5 GeV and high levels of beam backgrounds. Overall, the GNN reconstruction improves the resolution and reduces the tails of the reconstructed energy distribution and therefore is a promising option for the upcoming high luminosity running of Belle II.journal articl
Micelle Formation of Dodecanoic Acid with Alkali Metal Counterions
No full textAlkali series with different atomic numbers affect the physicochemical properties of aqueous solutions. The micellar properties of aqueous solutions of dodecanoate as surfactants were measured by changing the counterions (C12-Na, C12-K, C12-Rb, and C12-Cs). A plot of Krafft temperature vs. alkali metal atomic number showed a downward convex curve, with its minimum temperature (20°C) in the C12-K system. By contrast, a plot of the critical micelle concentration (CMC) vs. alkali metal atomic number exhibited an upward convex curve with the maximum CMC (25.6 mmol L-1) at C12-K. Furthermore, the minimum surface tension (γ min ) of the solution at the CMC increased with increasing atomic number (C12-Na ≈ C12-K < C12-Rb < C12-Cs). The size of the dodecanoate micelles decreased with increasing atomic number. The ionization degree of the micelles also increased with increasing atomic number of the alkali metal. Small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) measurements revealed that alkali dodecanoate micelles formed spherical to ellipsoidal structures. In addition, micelles from the shell region showed large electrostatic repulsion, judging from the shape of the spectrum in the higher Q -1 region. From the measurement results of the solubilization of naphthalene into the micelles, the size of the micelles corresponded to the maximum solubilization quantity of naphthalene.journal articl
Disentangling the evolution of electrons and holes in photoexcited ZnO nanoparticles
No full textThe evolution of charge carriers in photoexcited room temperature ZnO nanoparticles in solution is investigated using ultrafast ultraviolet photoluminescence spectroscopy, ultrafast Zn K-edge absorption spectroscopy, and ab initio molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. The photoluminescence is excited at 4.66 eV, well above the band edge, and shows that electron cooling in the conduction band and exciton formation occur in <500 fs, in excellent agreement with theoretical predictions. The x-ray absorption measurements, obtained upon excitation close to the band edge at 3.49 eV, are sensitive to the migration and trapping of holes. They reveal that the 2 ps transient largely reproduces the previously reported transient obtained at 100 ps time delay in synchrotron studies. In addition, the x-ray absorption signal is found to rise in ∼1.4 ps, which we attribute to the diffusion of holes through the lattice prior to their trapping at singly charged oxygen vacancies. Indeed, the MD simulations show that impulsive trapping of holes induces an ultrafast expansion of the cage of Zn atoms in <200 fs, followed by an oscillatory response at a frequency of ∼100 cm-1, which corresponds to a phonon mode of the system involving the Zn sub-lattice.journal articl
