Breast milk immune composition varies during the transition stage of lactation: characterization of immunotypes in the MAMI cohort
No full textBreast milk is a complex and dynamic fluid needed for infant development and protection due to its content of bioactive factors such as immunoglobulins (Igs). Most studies focus primarily on IgA, but other types of Ig and even other immune components (cytokines and adipokines) may also play significant roles in neonatal health. As a first step, we aimed to characterize the Ig profile, many cytokines, and two adipokines (leptin and adiponectin) at two sampling time points within the transitional stage, which is the least studied phase in terms of these components. The secondary objective was to identify different breast milk immunotypes in the MAMI cohort substudy, and finally, we further aimed at analyzing maternal and infant characteristics to identify influencing factors of breast milk immune composition.The author(s) declare financial support was received for the research, authorship, and/or publication of this article.

Creation of an assessment tool to measure Level Of Positive And Negative Emotion & Sensation（LOPANES） part 1: Pilot study of healthy group
No full text本研究では，包括的単一項目の視点に基づいたポジティブ／ネガティブな感情と感覚のレベル（LOPANES）と心身の状態を一次元で測定する尺度（SDPSS）を試作した。専門学校生83名に同尺度とPANASやGHQ 12を含む質問票調査を実施した。その結果，LOPANESとSDPSSに床効果と天井効果は生じなかった。LOPANESのポジティブ感情と感覚のレベル（LOPES）については，SDPSSの心身の状態やPANASのポジティブ感情といったポジティブな指標と正の，LOPANESのネガティブ感情と感覚のレベル（LONES）については， PANASのネガティブ感情やGHQ 12といったネガティブな指標と負の相関を示した。さらに，GHQ 12を利用してハイリスク群と健常群に分類し，各群の特徴を検討した。ハイリスク群はLONESが高くLOPESと心身の状態が低い特徴を，健常群はLONESが低くLOPESと心身の状態が高い特徴を有していた。今後，これらの尺度の臨床における実用化への検討が必要である。In the study, prototypes of the comprehensive single-item Level Of Positive And Negative Emotions & Sensations （LOPANES） and Single Dimensional Psychosomatic State Scale （SDPSS） were developed. These scales and a questionnaire survey including PANAS and GHQ 12 were administered to 83 vocational school students. The results showed that no floor or ceiling effects occurred in the LOPANES or SDPSS. The LOPES （Level of Positive Emotions and Sensations） of the LOPANES was positively correlated with positive indicators such as the psychosomatic state and positive emotions. On the other hand, the LONES （Level of Negative Emotions and Sensations） of the LOPANES was negatively correlated with negative indicators such as negative emotions of the PANAS and GHQ 12. Furthermore, the scale scores of the GHQ 12 were used to classify the high-risk group and the healthy group, and the mean values of each scale were compared. The results showed that the high-risk group was characterized by high LONES and low LOPES and psychosomatic state, whereas the healthy group had low LONES and high LOPES and psychosomatic state. Further studies are needed for the practical application of this scale in the future.departmental bulletin pape

An Examination of the Effects of Tapping Touch on Dementia : A Case Study of an Elderly Woman with Hallucinations
No full textタッピングタッチは指先を使って左右交互にタッチするケアの技法であり，心理的効果，身体的効果，人間関係に対する効果があると言われている。本研究は，タッピングタッチによる認知症の行動・心理的な周辺症状に対する変化を検討した。認知症の周辺症状である幻覚や抑うつが現れている高齢女性に対して，タッピングタッチを10分間，4日おきに3回実施した。その結果，初回介入後から幻覚が消失し，抑うつ傾向の改善や疎通性の向上が見られた。以上から，タッピングタッチは認知症の周辺症状の一部に対して有用であると考えられた。しかし，本事例は単一事例の検討であるため，一般化することはできない。今後，認知症の周辺症状に対するタッピングタッチの有用性を検討するために，複数の事例での検討が必要である。Tapping Touch is a care technique of alternating right and left touch using fingertips, which has psychological, physical, and relational effects. This study examined changes in behavioral and psychological symptoms of dementia induced by Tapping Touch. Elderly women with hallucinations and depression were given tapping touch for 10 minutes three times every three days. The results showed that after the first intervention, the hallucinations disappeared, the depressive tendency improved, and the communication ability improved. These results suggest that Tapping Touch is useful for some of the behavioral and psychological symptoms of
dementia. However, since this is a single case study, generalizations cannot be made. Further studies are needed to apply this method to multiple cases.departmental bulletin pape
<Article>Russo-Xinjiang Trade in Travel Records : c. 1780-1850
No full textThis paper elucidates changes of trade routes between Russia and Xinjiang from the end of the 18th century till the middle of the 19th century on the basis of various Russian travel records. The author utilizes many travel reports in this paper, but she especially focuses on three records. The first one was written by a Russian soldier Filipp Efremov, who was enslaved in Bukhara, then escaped and traveled toXinjiang, and returned toRussia in 1782. The second record was written by a Tatar merchant Faizulla Seifullin, who visited Xinjiang in 1820's according to instructions of the Russian government. The author of the third travel report is Porfirii Ufimtsev, a Russian who was trained in Tatar language in his childhood to become a trader, and visited Xinjiang in 1840's as a faked Tatar merchant. The analysis of this paper shows that Muslim merchants of the Russian Empire engaged in the Russo-Xinjiang unofficial trade in the early 1780'. They went to the cities in Kashgaria through Central Asian cities, and sometimes they went to Aksu through the Kazakh Steppe. Around 1800 Muslim traders from Russia visited Ghulja and Chuguchak in the northern Xinjiang through the mediation of Kazakhs, whowere allowed totrade with the Qing government in these cities already in 1760's. Since the beginning of the 19th century, the Russian government had adopted various policies to develop Russo-Xinjiang trade, and the trade routes between Russia and the northern Xinjiang was established in 1810's. Muslim traders from Russia began to visit even Ladakh and Kashmir through Xinjiang in this period. However, traffic between the northern and the southern Xinjiang was sometimes restricted for these traders. Faizulla Seifullin was sent to Kashgar in 1821 to find a direct route from Russia to Kashgar via the Kazakh Steppe. Though the direct route was opened, political situations in Kashgaria became unstable in the second half of the 1820's, and trade between Kashgaria and Central Asia diminished. Instead, trade between Russia, Central Asia, and the northern Xinjiang flourished. In 1830-1840's Muslim traders from Russia traded in cities in Xinjiang actively, and the Russian trade with the northern Xinjiang increased. Kenesary Revellion in the Kazakh Steppe (1837-47) gave a severe blow to Russo-Xinjiang trade, but even in this period this trade continued, and the influence of the rebellion was diminished in 1840's. Thus, the trade routes between Russia and the northern Xinjiang, which was originally considered unprofitable because of high-cost mediation of Kazakhs and the government trade system in the northern Xinjiang, became major trade routes between Russia and Xinjiang in 1830-40's. The reason of this change is unstable political situations in Kashgaria and Central Asia, loosened restrictions for Russian goods and Russian Muslims in Xinjiang, and upsurge in demand of tea in the Russia Empire
Volunteer Tourism in Japan: Its Potential in Transforming “Non-volunteers” to Volunteers
No full textThis paper explores the potential of volunteer tourism to transform “non-volunteers” to volunteers in Japan. Volunteer tourism is defined as travel to a location outside the immediate vicinity of daily life in order to engage in organized volunteer activities. In-depth interviews and a survey were conducted to the employees of Haagen-Dazs Japan, Inc., who participated to volunteer tours to the Kiritappu Wetland Trust in Hokkaido. The study closely examines the motivations of the participants, and the impact of the tour on the participants’ overall perception of volunteering, and post-tour participation in volunteer activities.日本NPO学会第12回年次大会. 2010年3月12日（金）～14日（日）. 立命館大学, 衣笠キャンパス. 京都 参加者向け学会WEB Siteに公表されたも
