The Interpretation of Christianity by Uchimura Kanzo
No full textŠajā pētījumā ”Učimuras Kandzo kristietības interpretācija” tiek apskatīta Učimuras Kandzo biogrāfija, analizēts Učimuras Kandzo kristietības kriticisms un attīstītā kristietības interpretācija, mukjokai kustība un ar to saistītās problēmas. Pētījumā tiek izskaidrots, kā Meidzi modernizācijas politikas rezultātā Učimura tika konvertēts kristietībā; kādu apstākļu un notikumu rezultātā attīstījās Učimuras kristietības kriticisms un interpretācija, un kādas bija šīs interpretācijas raksturojošie elementi; kas ir mukjokai kustība, kādas ir to raksturojošās iezīmes un tās problemātika.
Pētījumā tika secināts, ka noteicošie posmi Učimuras kristietības kriticisma un kristietības interpretācijas attīstībā ir bijis studiju laiks Sapporo Lauksaimniecības koledžā un Amerikā. Učimuras kristietības interpretāciju raksturojošie elementi ir bijuši atteikšanās no kristietības konfesiju un institucionalizētas baznīcas nepieciešamības, uzsverot individuālas un rūpīgas Bībeles studijas. Mukjokai ir Učimuras dibināta kristiešu kustība, kas raksturo Učimuras galvenos principus kristietības interpretācijā, un mūsdienās ar tās palīdzību tiek turpināta Učimuras tradīcija. Tā kā mukjokai kristieši nepieder nevienai institucionalizētai formai, ir problēma apzināt precīzu piederīgo skaitu. Trūkst materiālu, kas nodarbotos ar mukjokai kustības aktualitāti un tendencēm mūsdienās.

Author explanes how due to the modernization policy of Meiji government Uchimura was converted to Christianity; due to what circumstinces and events developed Uchimura's criticism of Christianity and it's interpretation and what are the characteristics of this interpretation; what is mukyokai, what are the characteristic features of it and problematic aspects.
Author came to conclusion that the main periods in developing Uchimura's criticism of Christianity and his interpretation of Christianity was while studying in Sapporo Agricultural College and America. The main characteristics of Uchimura's interpretation of Christianity was refusing from the neccessity of Christian denominations and institutionalized Church stressing individual and careful Bible studies. Mukyokai is a movement founded by Uchimura which represents the essence of Uchimura's interpretation of Christianity and nowdays through mukyokai Uchimura's tradition has been carried on. As mukyokai Christians do not belong to any instutionalized body it is problematic to find out the precise number of mukyokai Christians. There is a lack of information about the topicallity of mukyokai movement and it's newest tendencies as well.
The research paper consists of 3 chapters, 53 pages and 5 appendixes.

"Love" and "Righteousness" in Uchimura Kanzo's A Study of Romans
No full textIn order to uncover if Uchimura Kanzo's A Study of Romans is primarily about righteousness or about love, I carried out an analysis of three key words: love, righteousness, and faith. The results were intriguing. Uchimura considered the most important messages of "Letter to the Romans" to be in chapters 1-8, and he uses the key words righteousness and faith at a high frequency in the sections of A Study of Romans in which he addresses those chapters. However, the key word love occurs in the highest frequency in the sections about chapters 9-16 of Romans, precisely those chapters that Uchimura termed an "appendage" to the first half of Romans. In addition, in A Study of Romans,Uchimura considers love to be included in and dependent on righteousness, which in turn is completely dependent on faith. Therefore Uchimura's emphasis on righteousness and faith is internally consistent. His thoughts on love, however, are concerned with human relationships,are mainly moralistic and lack the transcendental quality of Christian love. Love, seen as a moral by Uchimura, is consistent with the findings of the previous research. Based on the above factors, the author concludes that A Study of Romans is mainly a book of faith and righteousness, not of love
Planctonic Foraminifers From the Uchimura Formation, Northern Fossa Magna, Central Japan
No full textIn the core of the Uchimura Mountain Range, greenish altered volcaniclastic rocks crop out extensively. On the contraly to this, the south to south-western part of this mountain is occupied by normal sediments such as conglomerate, sandstone or mud stone. These normal and volcaniclastic sediments, which are named the Uchimura formation by Honma (1931), have an interfingering relationships widely in the central part of this mountain. The Hongo Facies have been adopted as the facies name to these normal sediments in the Uchimura Formation. For a long time, index fossils has not been found in these sediments, therefore the Uchimura Formation have been regarded as lower Miocene in age roughly.In this paper the author report the planctonic foraminifers found in the uppermost horizon of the Uchimura Formation. Planctonic foraminifers found in the uppermost horizon of the Uchimura formation are characterised by following species, such as Globigerina angustiumbilicata BOLLI, Gg. bulloides d' ORBIGNY, Gg. druryi AKERS, Gg eamesi BLOW, Gg. falconensis BLOW, Gg. praebulloides BLOW, Gg. sp., Globorotalia archeomenardii BOLLI, Gr. panda JENKINS, Gr. praescitula BLOW, Gr. scitula (BRADY), Gr. sp., Globigerinoides obliquus BOLLI, Gs. quadrilobatus (d' ORBIGNY) Gs. sp., Globoquadrina dehiscens (CHAPMAN, PARR and COLLINS), Gq. baroe moenensis (LEROY), Gq. venezuelana (HEDBERG), Gq. sp., Dentoglobigerina altispira altispira (CUSHMAN and JENKINS), Globigerinella obesa (BOLLI), Ge. sp., Globigerinita glutinana (EGGER), Sphaeroidinellopsis disjuncta (FINLAY), Ss. seminulina seminulina (SCHWAGER), Orbulina bilobata (d' ORBIGNY), Martinottiella communis, Trifarina sp. Form these facts it is concluded that the upper most part of the Uchimura Formation can be assinged to planctonic foraminiferal zone N9 (Blow, 1969).Article信州大学理学部紀要 24(2): 27-34(1990)departmental bulletin pape
Uchimura Kanzo's Love-Hate Relationship with the Word "Love"
No full textAs a Christian, Uchimura undoubtedly thought about, analyzed and discussed the concept of love. However, he recognized the difficulty in translating the word and the concept into Japanese. Uchimura stressed the importance of taking into account the close relationship between language and systems of thought. In this paper, Buddhist and Confucian history and culture surrounding the Japanese character and character complexes for love are introduced. The Buddhist character complex "katsuai「渇愛」 is shown to be fundamentally human-centered whereas Christian love embodies a transcendent element since love is seen as coming from God. The author also demonstrates that Uchimura's negativity towards "emotional love" shows that he may have been influenced by the negative meaning of the Buddhist character complex "katsuai「渇愛」." Uchimura uses several different variations on the Japanese character for love "ai「愛」" to try and encompass the nuances in the Christian sense of the word love. In trying to distance himself from "emotional love," he adopted what he called "rational love" and in the end, this becomes strongly connected to morals but loses some of the transcendent nuance. In conclusion, Uchimura's treatment of love has both positive and negative aspects but those aspects are the result of an attempt to bring new meaning into an existing Japanese term
Theology of culture in a Japanese context: a believers' church perspective
No full textThis thesis explores an appropriate relationship between Christian faith and culture. We investigate the hallmarks of authentic theology in the West, which offer us criteria to evaluate Christianity in Japan. Because Christian faith has been concretely formed and expressed in history, an analysis and evaluation of culture is incumbent on theology. The testing ground for our research is Japan, one of the most unsuccessful Christian mission fields. Thus this is a theology of culture in a Japanese context. Through a dialogue with H. Richard Niebuhr, John Howard Yoder, and Stanley Hauerwas, we embrace a believers' church perspective as our basic vision. The believers' church critically evaluates culture and seeks to transform it by standing on the boundary between the Kingdom of God and the world, and voluntarily participates in the redemptive suffering of God with the creature. It strives to be faithful to God and to imitate Jesus Christ, instead of seeking to control the world. It trusts in God; for it is He, and not we, who is in charge of history. Examination of Japanese Christian history is conducted in the light of the criteria above, in order to consider how Japan responded to Christianity. The criteria help us see the problem of nationalism both in superficial Christianity in Japan and in Constantinian Christianity in the West. We discuss three major Japanese theologians: Kazoh Kitamori, Yasuo Furuya, and Hideo Ohki. They help us refine our criteria for suffering, for theological assessment of Japan, and for the nature of believers' church as covenant community. We find in our investigation that although Christianity has always been in a minority in Japan, the church in Japan - like the church in the West - inclines to be co-opted by political powers, which is a core problem

Cation current activated by hyperpolarization in a subset of rat nucleus accumbens neurons
No full text1. Intracellular recordings were made from neurons in slices of rat nucleus accumbens in vitro. Membrane currents were measured in the potential range -60 to -120 mV with the use of a single-electrode, voltage-clamp amplifier.
2. A minority of neurons (28/285) was identified that had resting membrane potentials almost 20 mV less negative than the majority of the cells. These cells, but not the majority, had an inward current that activated slowly when the cells were hyperpolarized from -60 to -120 mV. The time constant of activation was approximately 3 s at -70 mV and 100 ms at -120 mV.
3. This inward current was completely blocked by external cesium (2 mM) but unaffected by barium. The current was reduced in solutions containing low-sodium concentration and increased in solutions with high-potassium concentration; its reversal potential was estimated to be -36 mV.
4. It is concluded that two types of neurons can be distinguished in the rat nucleus accumbens on the basis of the presence or absence of a cation current activated by hyperpolarization. This current (I(H), also called I(f) and I(Q)) caused the neurons to have less-polarized resting potentials than the majority of nucleus accumbens neurons

Performance benchmark of state-of-the-art lateral path-following controllers
No full textAlthough extensive research has been conducted to design path-following algorithms for automated vehicles, the cross comparison between different path-following controllers is still weakly-analyzed. Therefore, we benchmarked five path-following algorithms to evaluate their performance according to various disturbances like gust wind, drop of road friction coefficient and inaccurate GPS localization. The comparison was carried out in simulation environment between geometrical-based, path controller with preview, LQR, linear MPC and observer-based controller with integral action approaches.Green Open Access added to TU Delft Institutional Repository ‘You share, we take care!’ – Taverne project https://www.openaccess.nl/en/you-share-we-take-care Otherwise as indicated in the copyright section: the publisher is the copyright holder of this work and the author uses the Dutch legislation to make this work public.Intelligent Vehicle
