Learning Phrasal Verbs: through Flashcards and Moodle tasks with Short Animations
Phrasal verbs (PVs) are a common source of difficulty for English learners. This study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of using spaced repetition with flashcards and gif animations (referred to as Pvgifs) with online extracurricular activities through a university platform (Moodle) in learning PVs. First-year university students in Japan participated in this study and learned 60 PVs over one academic semester using flashcards and activities. The activities included three types of task: gap-filling, translation, and gap-filling + PVgifs. The results showed that most students made significant progress from pre-test to post-test on a productive gap-filling test, regardless of whether they completed the extracurricular tasks and PVgifs.departmental bulletin pape
Learning Formulasc Sequences at a Japanese University: Flashcards, Tasks, and Speaking Practice
北九州市立大学博士(学術)English formulaic sequences (FSs), including phrasal verbs (PVs) and collocations, hold a crucial position in natural language usage, enabling both native and non-native speakers to express complex ideas fluently and accurately. Although mastering FSs poses challenges for learners due to several factors, such as their non-literal meanings, many aspects of how English learners can effectively acquire PVs and collocations remain unexplored. Thus, this thesis aimed to investigate the acquisition and retention of PVs and collocations among Japanese university students. It explored the effectiveness of various learning approaches centered on computer flashcard programs and retrieval practice, while also examining the impact of speaking tasks on learning outcomes and speaking fluency.doctoral thesi
Accelerated methanogens’ decay in the acidic environment and its mathematical modelling
北九州市立大学博士(工学)The study focused on the effects of low pH on the decay rate of methanogenic microorganisms and their potential VFA inhibition. Results showed that low pH conditions, with a pH below 6.5, significantly enhanced the decay rate of methanogenic microorganisms, leading to irreversible inhibition. Whereas, the acidogenic bacteria were found to be more tolerant to the acidic environment. The biocidal phenomenon was mainly attributed to the proton concentration in the system and was not affected by the presence of phosphate buffer. The impacts of acidic species (C1–C5 VFAs) and the VFA concentration (until 40 mM of un-dissociated VFAs) on the biomass decay were negligibly small comparing to the low pH stress. A modified ADM1 equipped with a lag-phase sub-model could reproduce the deterioration of reactor performance during an acidic failure and resulte in a 37% improvement in the Nash-Sutcliffe efficiency coefficient compared to the calibrated ADM1 model.doctoral thesi
The Visitors Actual Situation of the Mega-event in the Central Urban Area Under the Influence of COVID-19: A Case Study of ”Wassyoi Hyakuman Summer Festival” in August 2022
本研究では、コロナ禍の影響が残る2022年8月に3年ぶりに通常開催された「第35回わっしょい百万夏まつり」において主催者と協働して来場者アンケートを実施し実態をまとめた。地域密着型で老若男女が参加する北九州市を代表するまつりであることを再確認したとともに、まつり会場内にとどまらず周辺の中心市街地での消費活動を喚起したこと等が明らかとなった。中心市街地における大規模イベントのあるべき姿と言えよう。departmental bulletin pape

Political Economy of Pineapple Produced in Taiwan: Interpretations of Warnings for Pesticide Residues and Suspension of Imports by China
馬英九政権時代に対中依存度を高めた台湾産パインは、2015年に中国当局から残留農薬の問題を指摘され、輸入時のモニタリング回数を増やすと警告された。台湾側が改善策を講じて品質維持に努めたにもかかわらず、2021年2月末に中国当局は台湾産パインの輸入停止を通告した。警告や輸入停止の理由について、中国側は政治性を否定したが、台湾国内の政党政治や中台対立の文脈と関連づけた説明も成り立つことを本稿は提示した。departmental bulletin pape

Study on environmental improvement of residential and educational buildings based on passive-active hybrid design strategies
北九州市立大学博士(工学)本研究では、民家に残るパッシブ設計の秘密を探るとともに、教育施設の温熱環境改善策について検討するため、民家及び教室を対象に実測調査とシミュレーションを行った。住宅においては土間の冷却効果ならびにその最適配置を明らかにした。教室に関しては、感染防止のための自然換気が空調エネルギーの著しい増大を招くこと、教室南側に土間空間を付設し外気温度基準の混合モード換気により夏季空調負荷の低減効果を明らかにした。 In this research, measurements targeting housing and educational facilities to investigate passive cooling design of the Japanese Minka, indoor thermal after air conditioning (AC) installation in classrooms and analyze AC energy use (EU) before and during COVID-19 pandemic in several schools were conducted. The simulations to find the optimal placement of the Doma and to clarify the environmental improvement effects of natural ventilation (NV), AC, and mixed-mode ventilation were also conducted. The result shows that AC EU in schools increased significantly during pandemic. The idea of Doma, which is best to be placed on south side based on the simulation result, is brought to modeling design strategy for classroom simulation, and the result shows it reduces AC cooling load in summer. It was also found that the intermittent mixed-mode ventilated room could be adapted for preventing airborne disease transmission. As for energy-saving strategy, mixed-mode ventilation based on outside air temperature can be adapted.doctoral thesi
Evaluation of citizen behavior on introducing new urban transportation and facilities for low carbon strategies in China
北九州市立大学博士(工学)本研究は都市の物質とエネルギーの循環を生命の代謝システムに例え、供給インフラを動脈、処理インフラを静脈として捉え、低炭素都市の動脈系にあたる「電動自転車シェアリング」及び「水素エネルギーバス」、低炭素都市静脈系にあたる「スマートゴミリサイクルキャビネット」に対する市民の支払い意欲と環境価値を仮想評価法で評価し、中国のカーボンニュートラル達成のための都市政策の立案に資する評価手法を提案している。 This study compares the circulation of materials and energy in cities to the metabolic system of life, considers the supply infrastructure as "arteries" and the processing infrastructure as "veins", and evaluates citizens' willingness to pay for "electric bicycle sharing" and "hydrogen energy bus", which correspond to the arterial system of low-carbon cities, and "smart garbage recycling cabinets", which correspond to the vein system of low-carbon cities, using a virtual evaluation method. It proposes an evaluation method that contributes to the formulation of urban policies to achieve carbon neutrality in China.doctoral thesi
A System of Farming Soldiers of the Northern Front Lines in the Ming Dynasty
国初より漠北のモンゴル人勢力の南下に悩まされ続けた明政府は現地に屯田を設置し、軍士の約7割を耕作に従事させた。しかし耕牛の供給は乏しく、正統年間頃から豪勢層による屯田の侵占が始まった。政府は屯田軍士に耕牛の支給を続けたが、犂1具につき多くとも牛3頭程度、大抵の場合1頭に止まり、これは華北大農法における最低水準を下回っていた。屯田政策は明末まで継続されたが、耕牛不足により成果を挙げられなかった。departmental bulletin pape
