    ウパニシャッドは, 古代インドの宗教儀礼文献であるヴェーダの中に現れた一群の哲学書である。その最古のものと考えられるのが, 本稿で取り上げる『ジャイミニーヤ・ウパニシャッド・ブラーフマナ』(Jaiminīya-Upanisad-Brāhmana [JUB])である。ヴェーダ祭式の歌詠部門(サーマ・ヴェーダ)に所属するジャイミニーヤ派の文献として, 祭式歌詠(サーマン)に関する哲学的な思弁を主な内容としている。JUBは, 先行するブラーフマナ文献のように個々の祭式や歌詠を具体的に記述することはほとんどなく, 祭式や歌詠をめぐって, あるいはそれらを離れて, 再生説を含むさまざまな哲学的思弁を展開している。同じくサーマ・ヴェーダ所属のカウトゥマ・ラーナーヤニーヤ派の『チャーンドーギヤ・ウパニシャッド』と, テキストと内容において近い関係にある。ジャイミニイヤ派内ではウパニシャッドとして扱われているが, ヴェーダの学派伝統の外にあってウパニシャッドを聖典として奉じる後世のヴェーダーンタ学派からは, 『ケーナ・ウパニシャッド』の部分(JUB 4.10.1–4 [4.18–21])を除いてウパニシャッドとは見なされなかった。この文献がヴェーダの文献成立史の中で最初のウパニシャッドとしてどのように生まれてきたか, その誕生の全体像を描くことが本稿の目的である。そのために, 以下の論点について順に考察していく。1. この文献は何を中心テーマとしているのか。2. それ以前の文献ではその中心テーマは扱われていたのか, いなかったのか。3. この文献がそれを中心テーマとする背景はなにか。4. この文献はその中心テーマからどのような思想を展開したのか。5. この文献を作り出したのがなぜこの学派(ジャイミニーヤ派)であったのか。6. この文献を最初のウパニシャッドと見なしうる根拠は何か。The Upanis. ads are philosophical texts produced in the Veda, a huge complex of ancient Indian ritual texts. The Jaiminīya-Upanis. ad-Brāhman. a [JUB] is the earliest of the texts which were produced as Upanis. ads in the history of Vedic literature. The JUB as a text belonging to the Jaiminīya school of the Sāmaveda, `the knowledge (veda) of sacred ritual chants (sāman)' has philosophical speculations about the ritual chants as its main contents. Unlike the preceding Brāhman. a texts, this text does not describe the details of the rituals and chants, but extends various philosophies including rebirth theories, in connection with, or apart from, the ritual and chants. It has a close relationship in texts and contents with the Chāndogya-Upanis. ad belonging to the Kauthuma-Rān. āyanīya school of the Sāmaveda. Though the JUB has been treated as an Upanis. ad inside the Jaiminīya school, it has not been acknowledged to be an Upanis. ad proper by the Vedāntins who, being outside the Vedic schools, worship the Upanis. ads as their highest authority, with the exception of the Kena-Upanis. ad portion (JUB 4.10.1–4 [4.18–21]). The purpose of this article is to elucidate the overall picture of the birth of the JUB as the first Upanis. ad in the history of Vedic texts. For this purpose, the following points will be discussed: 1. What is the main theme of the JUB? 2. Is the main theme of the JUB treated in its proceeding texts or not? 3. What is the background for the main theme of the JUB? 4. What kind of philosophies does the JUB develop from the main theme? 5. Why did the Jaiminīya school, not other schools, produce the JUB? 6. What are the gounds and criteria for judging the JUB as the first Upanis. ad

    Klartraumtraining bei deutschen und japanischen Athleten: Eine Fragebogenstudie

    No full text
    Einleitung Eine eher unbekannte Art des Mentalen Trainings ist das Training im Klartraum (Erla-cher, Stumbrys & Schredl, 2011-12). Im Klartraum ist sich der Träumende bewusst, dass er träumt, und kann dadurch den fortlaufenden Trauminhalt kontrollieren. Frühere Stu-dien zeigten, dass es möglich ist, motorische Aufgaben im Klartraum zu üben, um dadurch eine verbesserte Leistung im Wachzustand zu erreichen (Erlacher & Schredl, 2010). Jedoch ist wenig über die Prävalenz von Klarträumern im Sport bekannt. Methode Die Stichprobe umfasste 840 deutsche (D: 483 m, 357 w) und 1323 japanische (J: 1000 m, 323 w) Athleten. Das Durchschnittsalter betrug 20,4 Jahre (D: 21,6 J: 19,7). Die Teil-nehmer wurden in verschiedenen Sportarten – von Mannschaftssportarten (z.B. Basket-ball) bis Einzelsportarten (z.B. Leichtathletik) – rekrutiert und füllten einen Fragebogen zum Thema Sport, Schlaf und Traum aus. Die Athleten waren durchschnittlich 9,1 Jahre (D: 11.1, J: 7,9) aktiv und trainierten etwa 14,4 Stunden (D: 11.1, J: 16,7) pro Woche. Der Fragebogen erfasste auf einer 8-stufigen Skala die Klartraumhäufigkeit (Plus Definition: Für ein klares Verständnis von Klarträumen); die Anwendung (z.B. Training) für den Sport und, wenn dies bestätigt wurde, ob sportliche Verbesserungen erlebten wurden. Ergebnisse 47% (D: 57%, J: 41%) der Athleten gaben an, mindesten einen Klartraum erlebt zu ha-ben, 20% (D: 24% J: 18%) sind häufige Klarträumer (mit einem oder mehrere Klarträume pro Monat) und 9% (D 9% , J: 9%) nutzen Klarträume für ihren Sport, davon berichtet die Mehrheit, dass das Klartraumtraining die sportliche Leistung im Wachzustand verbessert. Diskussion Etwa die Hälfte der Athleten kennt das Klarträumen aus eigener Erfahrung, ein Fünftel sind häufige Klarträumer und etwa jeder zehnte Athlet nutzt Klarträume für seinen Sport. Für die deutsche Stichprobe ist die Prävalenzrate der Athleten ähnlich wie in der Bevöl-kerung. Für die japanische Stichprobe liegen keine repräsentativen Bevölkerungsdaten vor, auf der Grundlage der hier vorgestellten Fragebogendaten scheint es jedoch, dass kulturellen Unterschiede eine untergeordnete Rolle spielen.

    “Masato de Yuca” and “Chicha de Siete Semillas” Two Traditional Vegetable Fermented Beverages from Peru as Source for the Isolation of Potential Probiotic Bacteria

    Open Access funding provided thanks to the CRUE-CSIC agreement with Springer Nature. This research was funded by the Ibero-American Programme on Science and Technology for Development (CYTED), grant number 917PTE0537. The Spanish team was funded by the “Agencia Estatal de Investigación” and the “Fondo Europeo de Desarrollo Regional” (AEI/FEDER, UE), grant number PCIN2017-075″. The Peruvian team was funded by the National Council of Science and Technology and Innovation of Peru through its execution unit National Fund for Scientific, Technological and Technological Innovation (CONCYTEC/FONDECYT), grant No. 001–2017.In this work, two Peruvian beverages “Masato de Yuca,” typical of the Amazonian communities made from cassava (Manihot esculenta), and “Chicha de Siete Semillas,” made from different cereal, pseudo-cereal, and legume flours, were explored for the isolation of lactic acid bacteria after obtaining the permission of local authorities following Nagoya protocol. From an initial number of 33 isolates, 16 strains with different RAPD- and REP-PCR genetic profiles were obtained. In Chicha, all strains were Lactiplantibacillus plantarum (formerly Lactobacillus plantarum), whereas in Masato, in addition to this species, Limosilactobacillus fermentum (formerly Lactobacillus fermentum), Pediococcus acidilactici, and Weissella confusa were also identified. Correlation analysis carried out with their carbohydrate fermentation patterns and enzymatic profiles allowed a clustering of the lactobacilli separated from the other genera. Finally, the 16 strains were submitted to a static in vitro digestion (INFOGEST model) that simulated the gastrointestinal transit. Besides, their ability to adhere to the human epithelial intestinal cell line HT29 was also determined. Following both procedures, the best probiotic candidate was Lac. plantarum Ch13, a robust strain able to better face the challenging conditions of the gastrointestinal tract and showing higher adhesion ability to the intestinal epithelium in comparison with the commercial probiotic strain 299v. In order to characterize its benefit for human health, this Ch13 strain will be deeply studied in further works. © 2021, The Author(s).Consejo Nacional de Ciencia, Tecnología e Innovación Tecnológica - Concyte

    Environmental Violence in Minamata: Responsibility, Resistance, and Religiosity in the Case of Ogata Masato and Hongan no Kai

    No full text
    The small town of Minamata is infamous for the industrial disease named after the city. This disease resulted from having ingested methyl mercury, a substance released for more than three decades by a factory owned by the Chisso Corporation. Upon entering the human body, mercury affects the nervous system, resulting in paralysis, and often leading to a slow death. Examining how such violence was inflicted on human beings and on the environment involves a complex array of economic, environmental, and sociocultural issues, all revolving around the notions of justice and responsibility. This article analyzes the local residents&rsquo; responses to the irreparable damage done to them, focusing in particular on the thoughts and actions put forward by Ogata Masato and a group called Hongan no kai, who chose to carve bodhisattva statues. Investigating the victims&rsquo; religiosity, the author argues that the praxis put forward by the Minamata people resonates with the perspective articulated by Italian philosopher Giorgio Agamben. After having witnessed how justice had been exhausted and their case had been lost in the Japanese legal system, the victims showed their resilience in coming up with original responses, which also offer valuable insight into current discussions centered on environmental ethics
