Thinking about "The tale of Maturanomiya" Princess Kayo
No full textapplication/pdfThis thesis especially discusses the Princess Kayo about “The tale of Maturanomiya” The influence of story preceding and a variety of is seen in “The tale of Maturanomiya”. A forming of princess Kayo also is influenced from preceding story. The purpose of this thesis is to clear what influences forming princess Kayo and to clear what does the story try by handling her. In this thesis, the influence of Naka no kimi at “Yoru no nezame” and Murasaki no ue at “The Tale of Genji’” pointed out first. These women was shouldering suffering. Because they have to do count on a man who has other women. The same thing can be said also to princess Kayo. Therefore, I pointed out it that she is is a successor of these women. Though she was a successor in the one side that is certainly, the problem, that is, their “Suffer of the woman” is not made a focus. This reason is that the problem, “Suffer of the woman” changes in quality at this story. This problem do not focus in women’s mind but focuses a man who becomes dilemma among women. This story depicts a man assuming that it is cool. The very important fact is Princess Kayo having been influenced another person is not only two people but also princess Shikishi. She was a woman of author（Fuziwara no Sadaie）’s yearning. The author had him accomplish the desire that ended in the yearning in the story in the reality. This story made situation fall in love by such a woman, and careless in woman’s feelings. In a word, this story of the man, by the man, for the man. In the near future,I am going to think about the problem of two heroines of the remainder. I want to continue thinking about this story, to a total.departmental bulletin pape
Archival Resources Reimagined: a Feminist Examination of the "Latin American Twentieth-century Pamphlets"
No full textIn this practicum report, I use the insights afforded by feminist scholarship and theory to analyze my experience examining the Latin American Twentieth-Century Pamphlets collection at Special Collections & University Archives, Rutgers University Libraries, a collection assembled by Robert Jackson Alexander, 1918-2010. I focus in Brazil and Guyana collections and identify political beliefs and perspectives that uncover different actors and forces in these two countries, acknowledging discriminatory structures or alternative accounts of history. I also examine the issue of organization and access tools in the management of archives and their usefulness to organize this type of collection. Finally, I present the insights on uncovered resources, along with my readings on the transnational dimensions of politics and ideologies in both collections as an area for a valuable intervention for archivists and librarians to undertake.This practicum report was submitted to fulfill the requirements for the M.A. degree in Women's and Gender Studies (2010).

Public Health Approach to Etiology of Cerebrovasular Accidents
No full textThough there are many studies of cerebrovascular accidents from etiological point of view, few have been reported concerning impacts of daily life to cerebrovascular accidents from the view point of public health. The author examined the interactions between human factors and his environment in the cases of cerebrovascular accidents in two areas and one group of workers. The 227 objects were selected to discuss from the patients and the dead in two rural areas by examining answeres to questionnaires, medical records by doctors, and dath certificates. The results are as follows. 1) There was a difference of incidence of cerebrovascular accidents between those two areas it was 4.35 per 1,000 adults over 40 years in Kayo, whereas 6.20 in Yao. 2) Cerebrovascular accidents often occurred at either dinning and bath room in the evening or toilet in the midnight. 3) The impacts of climate was not clear in Yao where the climate is calm, on the conrary there were observed two peaks of incidence in summer and winter in Kayo where the climate is sever. 4) There were found more frequently cerebral hemorrahge than cerebral thrombosis among male farmers in those two areas. 5) The author pointed out that not only natural impacts but also soci-economical and cultural background to cerebrovascular accidents must be discussed, such as organization of labour and so forth. 6) There were observed the evidence that chronic CS(2) exposure resulted in high incidence of hypetention and cerebrovascular accidents
<Research Notes>Teaching Argumentative Writing through a Process-focused Instruction: The Effects of the Prewriting Activity on Student Perceived Learning
No full text本稿は、思考整理に焦点をあてた協働的なライティング活動がいかに学生のライティング学習に影響するかを分析し、本活動の妥当性を纏めたものである。具体的には、主体的・対話的で深い学びを意識したライティング指導の一環として、執筆前の協働的ライティング活動(プレライティング活動)をプロジェクト発信型英語プログラムの授業に導入し、プロセス重視の指導を展開した。何をどう書いてよいか分からない学生に独自に構築した補助教材を提示し、論理的且つ客観的に思考を整理する機会を可能な限り与え、執筆前の思考整理の方法とその重要性を強調した。本活動が学生の学習に及ぼす影響をアンケートにより検証したところ、学生の思考を活発化させ、アカデミックライティングにおける根本的・基礎的知識を習得させる効果があったと言えよう。本研究は、ライティング指導に従事されている関係者にとって教育的示唆を伴う一例となるであろう。This article describes an exploratory study investigating the effects of prewriting activities on students' perceptions of their own learning. The author implemented a process-focused activity in a project-based English program during the spring semester of 2016, and here discusses the findings of the study. The participating students were 80 sophomores in the College of Life Sciences and Pharmaceutical Sciences. The students were provided with two support worksheets to logically organize their critical thoughts and arguments prior to the start of the writing task. During the process, they conducted a core writing task, in which key concepts and a logical order were identified, and then developed an organizational structure for writing an academic paper. Web-based questionnaires, including a free description element, were conducted before and after the prewriting process, in order to evaluate the participants' perceived achievements. The results demonstrated that the process had a positive influence on students' perceptions of their learning. The author therefore concludes that the prewriting activity did enhance students' learning. This empirical study illustrates that prewriting activity can refocus students' attention on the fundamentals of an academic paper: the importance of establishing an argumentation with logical flow, and of strengthening the linkage between sentences. Furthermore, the process-focused activity improves students' cognitive processes, and activates their ability to think analytically. Indeed, said cognitive ability may become a potential resource to improve their writing in the future. It is therefore suggested that the teaching of argumentative writing should take a more process-focused approach

Although increasing evidence has revealed the important role of psychosocial factors in chronic LBP, factors associated with chronic LBP interfering with work have not been fully investigated in Japanese workers at nursing care facilities. The present study aimed to determine the prevalence of chronic LBP interfering with work and related factors of chronic LBP including psychosocial factors, among workers at nursing care facilities.Material and methods: Eligible participants in the present study were Japanese workers at 95 nursing care facilities in Ishikawa Prefecture (n=2,242). Of these, 1,345 participants completed a self-administered questionnaire that included the following items: individual characteristics, severity of LBP, sleep problem, fear-avoidance beliefs (Tampa Scale for Kinesiophobia: TSK), STarT Back Screening Tool (SBST), fatigue, somatizing tendency, and work-related stress such as job satisfaction, job demand, interpersonal stress at work, and social support. The logistic regression analysis was used to assess factors associated with chronic disabling LBP.Results: Of participants who completed the questionnaires, 159 (11.8%) reported chronic LBP that interfered with their work. The multivariable analysis of related-factors of chronic disabling LBP found statistically significant associations with the following: high score of psychological subscale in SBST (adjusted odds ratio [aOR]: 5.83, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 3.55–9.59), high score of TSK (aOR: 1.08, 95% CI: 1.05–1.13), and high somatizing tendency (aOR: 2.07, 95% CI: 1.31–3.23).Conclusion: Psychological factors, including fear-avoidance beliefs or somatizing tendency, showed significant association with chronic LBP that interfered with work, among workers at nursing care facilities. Our results suggest that these factors would need to be considered in addition to screening for the risk factors of LBP chronicity by SBST when evaluating workers with chronic disabling LBP.Keywords: low back pain, care worker, nursing care facility, psychological factor, fear-avoidance, somatizing tendenc
Alexander of Aphrodisias and De Interpretatione: The Case of the Proposition
No full textThis article considers a passage in Alexander of Aphrodisias' commentary on the Prior Analytics (in APr., 10, 13-28) concerning the definition of irporaut; (premiss or proposition). Its interest lies in the fact that Alexander establishes a very articulated relationship between the defmition of /cookout; that we find in Aristotle's Prior Analytics (24a16-17) and that of arcotpavrixo; kayo; (proposition) in De interpretatione (4, 17a2-3). Nonetheless, the author aims to demonstrate that this relationship is problematic and unnecessary because the definition of /cookout; in Prior Analytics is in fact independent from the definition of eurocavruce; koyoc. However, it is also the author's intention to show why Alexander does this
The Problem and Method of a New Critical Educational Theory
No full text近年、1960年代後半のドイツにおいて誕生した批判的教育学の捉え直しと再構成が始まっている。その再構成には二つの方向性がみられる。一つは、1970年代のドイツにおいて誕生していた「批判的人間形成論」を取り入れることによって、新たに批判的教育学を構想する。もう一つは、フーコーの理論に影響をうけて、マッシェラインが展開している新しい批判的教育学である。本稿では、マッシェラインによって展開されている新しい批判的教育学を考察の対象とし、その課題と方法を明らかにすることを目的とする。考察によって明らかになったことは、新しい批判的教育学は、実践を導くという従来の理論的位置から倫理的態度の実践へと、批判の位置をずらす方向へと向かっているということである。These days, critical educational theory, which was born in the late 1960's in Germany, has been reconstructed. There are two directions in reconstructing it. The one is to reconstruct the theory by introducing the kritische Bildungstheorie, which was also born in Germany in 1970's. Another direction is the new critical educational theory developed by Masschelein who inspired by Foucault. The purpose of this thesis is to reveal the problems of Masschelein's new critical educational theory and to find the ways to solve them. From the discussion, now it is clear that the new critical educational theory has been changing in its direction of criticism from leading practice to practice of ethical attitude
Can the Frankfurt School re-emerge as mainstream in pedagogy? An Interview with Hans-Christoph Koller
No full textKetogenic Substrate Supplementation Attenuates Acute Inflammatory Responses in a Mouse Model of DNFB-Induced Allergic Contact Dermatitis
No full textBackground/Objectives: Fasting-induced elevation of blood ketone body levels suppresses allergic reactions; however, the underlying mechanism remains unclear. This study investigated whether elevated ketone body levels affect allergic contact dermatitis (ACD) and explored nutritional interventions that effectively increase β-hydroxybutyrate (BHB) levels. Additionally, we examined the role of GPR109A, a receptor for β-hydroxybutyrate (BHB), in ketone body-induced allergy suppression through ingestion of a ketogenic substrate. Methods: To evaluate the effects of ketone body precursors, medium-chain triglyceride (MCT) oil or 1,3-butanediol (BD) was administered as a single oral dose (2 g/kg body weight) under fed conditions. Blood BHB concentrations were measured at the time of euthanasia. ACD was induced using 2,4-dinitrofluorobenzene (DNFB), and its severity was assessed by measuring ear swelling and mast cell (MC) degranulation. To determine whether GPR109A mediates ketone body-induced allergy suppression, mepenzolate bromide (MPN), a GPR109A antagonist, was subcutaneously administered before BD treatment. Results: Both MCT oil and BD significantly increased the blood BHB levels. Elevated BHB concentrations were accompanied by reduced ear swelling and MC degranulation in DNFB-treated mice. The anti-allergic effects of BD were abolished by MPN administration, indicating that these effects were mediated by GPR109A activation. Conclusions: Nutritional supplementation with ketogenic substrates, such as MCT oil and BD, may serve as a dietary intervention for ACD by elevating blood BHB levels. GPR109A activation appears to be involved in ketone body-induced allergy suppression, suggesting a mechanistic link between ketone metabolism and immunomodulation
