Poverty caused by Economic Development
Get PDF本稿は、公害事件発生過程における地域の人びとの生活実態の変化に着目し、その生活状態が「貧乏」から「貧困」へと変化していった事実について記述・分析を行うとともに、「経済開発」について批判的検討を試みるものである。経済開発が繰り返されるほどに、生活者が資本と貨幣に依存しなければ直ちに欠乏状態余儀を強制されてしまうという生活の「絶対的脆弱性」を付与されたものへと質的に変容していく過程を記述する。departmental bulletin pape
Criticism of "Japanese Yomeigaku"
Get PDF「陽明学は明治維新の原動力」および類似する言い方は、「日本陽明学」という社会運動の鼓吹者たちが「日本陽明学」運動の正当性と権威性を高めるために、勝手に「陽明学」を明治維新と結びつけた臆説である。中国の陽明学は、中国を「亡国」させた元凶ではない。陽明学と朱子学は厳しく対立していない。王陽明は中国哲学史上では、わりと優秀な学者兼官僚であるが、神様ではない。彼の学説を簡単に西洋の哲学者と類比し比較すべきではない。江戸時代では日本には陽明学派（ないし「朱子学派」、「古学派」)が存在しない。陽明学者を選別する「三項目判定法」は、「日本陽明学」運動の鼓吹者たちが勝手に作った基準で危険をはらむ方法だ。departmental bulletin pape
Research on the influence of courtyard design on indoor and outdoor thermal comfort of traditional dwellings in cold areas in China
Get PDF北九州市立大学博士(工学)This study focuses on the impact of courtyard design on thermal comfort in traditional dwellings. By combining field surveys and software simulations, the research investigates how modifications to courtyard design can enhance both indoor and outdoor thermal environments, thereby improving occupant comfort in specific climate zones. This study reveals the importance of courtyard design, orientation and building envelope type in enhancing the comfort of the living environment by exhaustively analyzing the effect of courtyard design on indoor and outdoor thermal comfort. The results of the study show that appropriate courtyard orientation and envelope type can significantly improve indoor and outdoor thermal comfort, especially in winter. In addition, this study emphasizes the key role of strategic courtyard design in comfort management in all seasons and proposes a series of practical design strategies to support environmental sustainability and occupant comfort improvement of traditional buildings in cold regions of China.doctoral thesi
Optimization of skylight design for enhanced daylight performance in museum interiors using genetic algorithms and multi-objective optimization
Get PDF北九州市立大学博士（工学）In a world grappling with deteriorating natural environments and acute energy shortages, the substantial energy consumption attributed to buildings presents a formidable challenge. Thus, setting goals to reduce building energy usage and mitigate environmental impacts is crucial. However, achieving these objectives must not compromise the comfort of building occupants. Efficiently harnessing natural light not only reduces energy dependency but also enhances the quality of building usage. Focusing on indoor natural lighting environments and specific building types, this thesis uncovers opportunities for performance optimization and efficiency improvements in the early design phases, considering environmental and structural aspects. This research, augmenting contemporary studies on similar themes, identifies significant areas requiring further exploration and is poised to enrich the design field and aid stakeholders in making informed architectural decisions.doctoral thesi
Comprehensive study on the properties of geopolymer mortars with biomass fly ash and various aggregates
Get PDF北九州市立大学博士（工学）The rapid expansion of the construction industry, driven by economic and population growth, has intensified the challenge of managing construction waste, particularly concrete waste. This research investigates the potential of sustainable materials, such as Recycled Fine Aggregate (RFA), bamboo charcoal, and modified Wood Biomass Combustion Ash (WBCA), in geopolymer mortar formulations. The study aims to enhance the mechanical properties, durability, and environmental sustainability of geopolymer mortars by integrating these materials, thereby contributing to more sustainable construction practices.doctoral thesi
Low Temperature Oxidative Coupling of Methane over Modified Cerium Oxide Catalysts
Get PDF北九州市立大学博士(工学)The utilization of methane (CH4) by oxidative coupling of methane (OCM) poses a challenge in achieving selective partial oxidation of CH4 while minimizing undesired complete oxidation, underlining the importance of finding suitable catalysts. The study investigates different catalysts, in particular ceria with various transition metals and alkali metals, to improve the catalytic performance at low temperatures. The study shows that a combination of 33% manganese and 15% calcium in a ceria catalyst has the highest activity, although the overall C2 yield remains low compared to high-temperature processes. The study highlights the potential of OCM in environmental applications and its importance in regions such as Indonesia with abundant methane resources.doctoral thesi
DOSY NMR: A Valuable Tool for Determining the Enhanced Binding Constant of Cyclodextrin Nanoparticles
Get PDF北九州市立大学博士(工学)This thesis explores the impact of polymerization on the binding affinity of cyclodextrin (CD)-based nanoparticles (CDNPs) with various drug molecules. By incorporating epichlorohydrin (ECH) into CDNPs, the study demonstrates a significant enhancement in binding constants. Utilizing Diffusion-Ordered Spectroscopy Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (DOSY NMR), the mechanisms underlying this enhanced binding affinity are analyzed. The research reveals a 100-fold increase in the binding constant between CDs and alpha-mangostin, and a substantial improvement in the interaction with vanillin. Additionally, a 2:1 βCD-paroxetine inclusion complex is identified, highlighting potential drug delivery benefits, especially for hydrophobic drugs. The findings suggest that ECH-induced hydrophobicity plays a key role in these interactions. The study also investigates the biocompatibility and safety of CDNPs, offering insights into reducing nephrotoxicity associated with CDs. This research advances our understanding of CD-based nanotechnology and its potential to improve therapeutic efficacy in drug delivery systems.doctoral thesi
Developing Exercise Design and Evaluation Methods for Professional Emergency Responses
Get PDF北九州市立大学博士(工学)This study aimed to develop a comprehensive and flexible approach to design and evaluate emergency response exercises. Four objectives were specified: Understanding of current emergency exercise theories, practices and identification of their problems, development of exercise design method using the Analytic Hierarchy Process and the Four-Component Instructional Design, and development of time-tracking based exercise evaluation method. The exercise program in Vietnam was reported to understand the situation in a developing country. Problems regarding these existing theories and practices were described. A model featuring the AHP to optimize designs for emergency response exercises, aimed to propose a procedure to identify the necessary exercise targets and select suitable implementation methods by objectively summarizing the knowledge of emergency management professionals. Another case study was expansion of a time-tracking exercise evaluation method to analyze the communication and joint task-processing capabilities of various medical and social welfare organizations in a functional exercise in Kitakyushu.doctoral thesi
Assessment of Waste Management and Energy Recovery Scenario in Developing Country: Case Study of Makassar, Indonesia
Get PDF北九州市立大学博士(工学)This study primarily focuses on waste management and waste to-energy research in developing countries, using the case of Makassar City, Indonesia.

This scenario consists of composting, incineration, and landfill gas.doctoral thesi
Evaluating Air Pollution in Jakarta: A Dynamic Vehicle Age-Based Cohort Emission Models, Meteorological Effects, and COVID-19 Impacts
Get PDF北九州市立大学博士（工学）This study focuses on evaluating air pollution in Jakarta, emphasizing three main areas: the impact of motor vehicle emissions, the correlation between meteorological variables and air quality, and the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on pollution levels.From 2007 to 2018, motorbikes emerged as the primary contributors to air pollutants. Projections indicate that by 2040, motorbikes will continue to dominate emissions, with expected contributions of 70.2% for CO, % for HC, and 82.9% for PM under a business-as-usual scenario. The research also found moderate correlations between temperature, humidity, rainfall, and PM levels during the COVID-19 pandemic, highlighting a complex interaction between environmental conditions and public health risks associated with air pollution. Even though there was a weak correlation between confirmed deaths because of COVID-19 and all air quality parameters, the study found positive cases of COVID-19 were strongly correlated with PM10, PM2.5, CO, and O3, whereas PM2.5 alone, showed a negative correlation.doctoral thesi
