Environmental Accountability in Japanese Higher Education ―Moving Beyond the Recycle Bin―
Get PDF持続可能性へのグローバルな推進は、⾼等教育機関（HEIs）が持続可能な開発に関する教育と研究に焦点を当てる⽅法に⼤きな影響を与えています。これらの取り組みを促進するために、⽇本政府は様々な省庁、機関、⼤学、その他の関係者との連携を奨励することで、持続可能な開発のための教育（ESD）の推進に取り組んでいます。直接的な政府の資⾦提供に加え、学習教材の開発⽀援、ベストプラクティスに関する情報提供、政策議論への参加といった⽀援が⾏われています。その結果、⽇本のいくつかの⼤学では、持続可能性に関するイニシアチブや専任のオフィスが設⽴されました。しかし、これらの政策がどの程度実施されているのか、また教職員が資⾦やその他の資源をより良く管理するようどの程度動機付けられているのかについては疑問が残ります。
本論⽂では、研究、アウトリーチ、キャンパス運営の分野に焦点を当て、⼤学の資源へのアクセスと環境責任への貢献をよりよく可視化するための指標である「資⾦対環境責任スケール（FEAS）」を紹介します。著者は、北⽶および⽇本の⽂脈から具体的な例を挙げながら、HEIsによる持続可能性への取り組みと環境責任について選択的なサンプリングを提供します。本論⽂の結論では、⽇本の⾼等教育機関が今後環境責任を向上させるための提⾔を⾏います。The global push for sustainability has had a large impact on how Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) focus on education and research in sustainable development. To promote these efforts, the government of Japan has been working to boost Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) by encouraging collaboration across various ministries, institutions, universities, and other stakeholders. In addition to direct government funding, support involves helping with the development of learning materials, providing information on best practices, and engaging in policy discussions. As a result, several Japanese universities have launched sustainability initiatives and dedicated offices. Questions remain about how well these policies are implemented and to what extent staff and faculty are incentivized to be better stewards of funds and other resources.
With a focus on the areas of research, outreach, and campus operations this paper introduces a scale entitled, ‘The Funding Vs. Environmental accountability Scale (FEAS)’ to better illustrate universities' access to resources in relation to their contributions to environmental accountability. The authors offer a selective sampling of sustainability efforts by HEIs and their environmental accountability, highlighting specific examples from the North American and Japan context. The paper will conclude with recommendations for Japanese Higher Education institutions for improving their environmental accountability going forward.departmental bulletin pape

The Significance of Involving Clinical Psychologists in the Practice of Social Prescribing on Campus
Get PDF近年、イギリスで始まった孤独・孤立対策としての「社会的処方」の取り組みへの関心がわが国でも高まり、医療だけでなく、アートや図書を媒体にした文化的処方の活動も展開されるようになっている。本論文では、わが国の地域コミュニティやキャンパスコミュニティで行われているいくつかの実践を例示し、心理臨床の専門家が主導する場合と非心理臨床専門家が主導する場合を比較検討することをとおして、とくに大学キャンパスにおいて社会的処方の取り組みを行う場合の心理臨床の専門家の果たす機能について考察する。In recent years, interest in “social prescribing” as a measure to reduce loneliness and isolation, which began in the United Kingdom, has grown in Japan, and cultural prescribing activities using art and books, as well as medical care, have been developed. This paper examines the role of clinical psychologists in social prescribing efforts, especially on university campuses, by comparing the cases in which clinical psychologists take the lead with those in which nonclinical psychologists take the lead, using several examples of practices in local communities and campus communities in Japan. Also, this paper considers the function of the clinical psychologist in social prescribing initiatives, particularly on university campuses.departmental bulletin pape
Influences of Genu Varum and Weight Load on Femorotibial Angle at Varying Stance
Get PDFTraining exercises for the legs are actively performed for improving sport performance but are not actually performed according to individual physical characteristics. In this study, we examined X-rays of subjects with different knee alignments to elucidate whether carrying a barbell equivalent to body weight on the shoulder while changing stance width alters the femorotibial angle (FTA). Methods: The study subjects were 12 healthy men (6 with normal knees and 6 with genu varum) with no previous medical history of the knee. A total of 8 X-ray images of the left knee were taken for each subject either under body-weight load alone or with barbell load at each stance width in the following order: body weight alone at 50% shoulder-width stance, with barbell load at 50% stance, body weight at 100% stance, with load at 100% stance, body weight at 150% stance, with load at 150% stance, body weight at 200% stance, and with load at 200% stance. FTA, the parameter used for evaluating knee alignment, was measured on images taken at each trial. Results: Subjects with normal knees and genu varum showed a significantly higher FTA value under a condition of weight load than under body weight alone at 200% stance. Conclusions: The absence of significant changes in FTA at 150% stance with weight load in both subject groups suggests that this stance width is ideal, having the least influence on the medial part of the knee joint. The sumo-style deadlift is an important training exercise which is performed at a stance width approximately 200% of the shoulder width and therefore this training exercise should be performed with the above-mentioned risks in mind.departmental bulletin pape
