    AC Electromagnetic Field Controls the Biofilms on the Glass Surface by Escherichia coli & Staphylococcus epidermidis Inhibition Effect

    No full text
    Biofilms, mainly comprised of bacteria, form on materials’ surfaces due to bacterial activity. They are generally composed of water, extracellular polymeric substances (polysaccharides, proteins, nucleic acids, and lipids), and bacteria. Some bacteria that form biofilms cause periodontal disease, corrosion of the metal materials that make up drains, and slippage. Inside of a biofilm is an environment conducive to the growth and propagation of bacteria. Problems with biofilms include the inability of disinfectants and antibiotics to act on them. Therefore, we have investigated the potential application of alternating electromagnetic fields for biofilm control. We obtained exciting results using various materials’ specimens and frequency conditions. Through these studies, we gradually understood that the combination of the type of bacteria, the kind of material, and the application of an electromagnetic field with various low frequencies (4 kHz–12 kHz) changes the circumstances of the onset of the biofilm suppression effect. In this study, relatively high frequencies (20 and 30 kHz) were applied to biofilms caused by Escherichia coli (E. coli) and Staphylococcus epidermidis (S. epidermidis), and quantitative evaluation was performed using staining methods. The sample surfaces were analyzed by Raman spectroscopy using a Laser Raman spectrometer to confirm the presence of biofilms on the surface.journal articl

    日韓の教師志望学生における「なりたい教師像」及び「職業選択に影響した教師」:小学校教師を志望する大学生を対象とした質問紙調査に基づく検討-

    The purpose of this study was to clarify the characteristics of "ideal teacher image" and "teacher who infl uenced career choice" among Japanese and Korean aspiring teachers. The method was to analyze, the answers to a questionnaire survey of Japanese and Korean university students who have expressed a desire to be elementary school teachers. In the analysis, it was found that there was some overlap between the "ideal teacher image" and the "teacher who influenced career choice." In other words, the results suggested that the students formed their own ideal teacher images under the influence of teachers they met in the past. Specifically, Japanese students tended to have a teacher image that emphasizes "relationship with children," while Korean students' teacher images tended to emphasize "teacher's authority and leadership." Finally, this study considered the cultural background in which students in Japan and Korea form such images of teachers.departmental bulletin pape

    奈良女子大学附属小学校におけるSTEAM 教育の取り組み:「GarageBand」を用いたリズムづくりを中心に

    Get PDF
    本研究報告は奈良女子大学附属小学校第4学年の児童を対象に行なったSTEAM 教育の実践研究である。使用したアプリはApple 社(Apple Inc.)が開発した「ガレージバンド」である。「ガレージバンド」には様々な楽器が搭載されており、それらの音色を楽しむことができる。また、リズムパターンを容易に作ることができる。「ガレージバンド」を用いた授業後、児童の経験に関するアンケート調査を実施し、それらの解答を分析した。その結果、ほとんどの児童が「ガレージバンド」について興味をもち、楽しんでいたことがわかった。一方、「ガレージバンド」は画面に直接タッチし演奏することができるが、同じグループの児童と一緒に合奏する際のタイミングが難しいという一面もあり、楽器としての「ガレージバンド」の演奏技能の習得が必要であることが明らかとなった。departmental bulletin pape

    Rethinking the conflict between prevention and preparedness: towards a sociological perspective on coexisting with dementia

    Get PDF
    The Japanese government's General Guidelines for Dementia Policy Promotion implemented in 2019 focuses on dementia prevention. People with dementia and family caregivers expressed strong concerns on the emphasis on evention, and the idea of 'coexistence' and attitude of 'preparedness' were proposed as alternative values. This study aimed to conceptualise two ways of dealing with dementia, that is, 'prevention' and 'preparedness', which are high lighted by the above-mentioned conflict, and theorises how these two attitudes relate to the larger goal of sting with dementia'. Both concepts are similar in terms of attitudes towards a 'negative' future. In terms of the relationship between individual behaviour and collective-level goals, prevention is more appealing to people because the meaning and consequences of practising it are highly visible. However, prevention has a negative association with coexisting with dementia because it positions the condition as a future that needs to be avoided. In contrast, preparedness is closer to the idea of coexistence as it mitigates the negative connotation of the condition. The issue of preparedness raised by people with dementia is an important challenge to mainstream attitudes. The conflict between the two concepts can be understood as the confluence of two historical currents in the understanding of dementia: the neuropathologisation of dementia from the early 20th century and humanisation of dementia from the late 20th century. The other historical trend is the 'new dementia' trend, which emphasises the link between lifestyle-related diseases and dementia. It obscures the semantic content of dementia prevention and its relationship to preparedness. In light of this situation, capturing the diversity of prevention practices and understanding preparedness in the context of the local practices that can inspire individuals with dementia is an important empirical research question for the future.[特集]国際シンポジウム「アジアの社会におけるヘルスケアの現在:子どもから高齢期まで」departmental bulletin pape

    [論文] 現代日本の「脱毛プロパガンダ」:脱毛広告の表象分析を中心に

    Get PDF
    人間の「あるべき体毛」の表象は様々な文化の中で時代によって変化してきたが、現代の日本において女性の体毛は「ムダ毛」と名指され、処理すべきものとされる。しかし、これらはつくられた価値観によるものであり、社会に偏在する言説や表象を含む「脱毛文化」がそうさせてきたのだ。本稿は、近年公共空間や私的メディアで展開される脱毛広告を扱いながら、若年女性を一様に脱毛行為へ向かわせる現代日本の脱毛文化の構造を明らかにするものである。若年女性を対象とした脱毛広告は大きく二つのパターンに分類でき、一つは無毛の女性身体を美や快適さと結びつけるポジティブなもの、もう一つは有毛の女性身体の醜さを強調するネガティブなものである。前者は自己肯定感を高めるために脱毛が必要であることを示し、後者はいかに有毛の女性身体が醜いかを「周囲のまなざし」によって裏付け、女性たちを脅迫する。両者が表出するメディアは異なるが、どちらも女性たちを脱毛行為へと促す。 また、「ボディポジティブ」という文脈で、女性の体毛を肯定的に捉えようとする動きが欧米を中心に起こっているが、これらは「特権的な層」に限定され、日本ではそのムーブメントさえも脱毛広告に利用される。体毛の意識化、そしてコントロールすることが促される中で女性たちが体毛に無頓着でいることは許されず、脱毛文化に回収されてしまうのである。 The body hair of human beings has long been the focus of scrutiny across a variety of different cultures. The idea of "what body hair should be" varies by nation, class, and gender, and it has also changed depending on the era. In modern-day Japan, all of womenʼs body hair with the exception of eyebrows, eyelashes, and the hair on the head is labeled as "Unwanted Hair" that must be removed. However, it is important to understand that this idea is based on an artificially constructed sense of value: namely, a "Hair Removal Culture" that is predicated on statements and images dictated by our society. In this paper, with reference to recent hair removal ads, I examine the "Hair Removal Culture" in Japan, which has pressured young women in particular to remove their hair. Hair removal ads are essentially categorized into two types. The first is defined as a positive type, equating the hairless skin of women with beauty and comfort, while the second is a negative one, emphasizing the ugliness of hairy female skin. The former promotes hair removal as a tool to enhance womenʼs self-esteem, while in contrast, the latter insists on the ugliness of hairy female skin and can be construed as a kind of threat against women. As advertisements, both of them urge women to remove their hair. An important aspect to consider in this context is the "body-positive" movement, a push to think positively about all aspects of a womanʼs body, including hair, which has gained clout mainly in western countries. However, it is typically limited to the "privileged class". The society of modern-day Japan has become unacceptable for all women to be in-different to their body hair, and so they are forced to live in this "hair removal culture".本稿は令和3年度奈良女子大学大学院人間文化総合科学研究科修士論文の一部、及び、「カルチュラル・タイフーン2022」(カルチュラル・スタディーズ学会主催)での個人発表内容を加筆修正したものである。 また、本稿はJST科学技術イノベーション創出に向けた大学フェローシップ創設事業JPMJFS2127の支援を受けたものである。著者の希望により、論文内の一部画像を墨消し。departmental bulletin pape
