Child Health in Day-Nurseries and Day-Nursery Guidelines
No full textP(論文)On March 28, 2008, the Day Nursery Guidelines (hereafter "Guidelines") were revised. The authorwas fortunate to have the opportunity of participating in the work of revising the Guidelines threetimes, including this most recent time. This latest revision was conducted in accordance with a Ministerialnotice and involved not simple day nursery guidelines but their most basic functions. Regarding theGuidelines revised in such circumstances, this paper explains in particular the sections which have thedeepest connection with health and safety in day nurseries. It understands the meaning of children'shealth in day nurseries and on that basis discusses health and safety that is necessary practice in daynurseries.The Guidelines define "hoiku (day care)" as the integration of "nurture and protection" and "education."If one considers "education" from the viewpoint of child health, I would like to interpret it asthe provision of knowledge and skills to children as the maintenance and advance of the child's healthis established. On this basis, children can themselves learn to work at maintaining and advancing theirhealth.Child health in day nurseries is the realization of the support in child raising that is most sought byparents and families. The author hopes that the significance of the most recent revision will be properlyunderstood so that the care staff at day nurseries, especially the young care staff, will have a deepinterest in the health of children.departmental bulletin pape
Did Plant Patents Create the American Rose?
No full textThe Plant Patent Act of 1930 was the first step towards creating property rights for biological innovation: it introduced patent rights for asexually-propagated plants. This paper uses data on plant patents and registrations of new varieties to examine whether the Act encouraged innovation. Nearly half of all plant patents between 1931 and 1970 were for roses. Large commercial nurseries, which began to build mass hybridization programs in the 1940s, accounted for most of these patents, suggesting that the new intellectual property rights may have helped to encourage the development of a commercial rose breeding industry. Data on registrations of newly-created roses, however, yield no evidence of an increase in innovation: less than 20 percent of new roses were patented, European breeders continued to create most new roses, and there was no increase in the number of new varieties per year after 1931.
