No full textThe Inoue Photochirogensis Project is part of the ERATO program (Exploratory Research for Advanced Technology) of the Japan Science and Technology Corporation (JST). The project began in 1996, and is located in Toyonaka, Osaka. The project director is Dr. Yoshihisa Inoue, who is a full professor of the Graduate School of Engineering at Osaka University. The project is divided into 3 sub-groups: (1) CPL Photochemistry Group, (2) Asymmetric Photosensitization Group and (3) Supramolecular Photochemistry Group

Nipponasura Inoue 1965
No full textSubgenus Nipponasura Inoue, 1965, stat. n. Nipponasura Inoue, 1965: 241 (as genus). T y p e s p e c i e s: Nipponasura sanguinea Inoue, 1965 (by original designation). Diagnosis. The single known member of the subgenus is significantly smaller than both species of the subgenus Sesapa. The male genitalia are similar to those of Sesapa, but differ by the horseshoe-like merged transtillae with long and narrow transtillar processes covered with spinules, absence of medial costal processes and the narrower vesica (in Sesapa the vesica is broad, globular). The female genitalia differ from those of Sesapa by the rugose antevaginal plate, the longer and broader ductus bursae and the more or less globular corpus bursae. D i s t r i b u t i o n.

Japan: Honshu, Shikoku, and Kyushu (Fig. 11). Bionomics. The collecting records show that P. rufula is distributed in mountainous areas. Adults appear in fall and spring (October–November, April), and are found in mushroom (e. g. Omphalotus japonicus) and fallen leaves. Diagnosis. P. rufula can be easily distinguished from other congeners by the following character states: head, thorax, and abdomen reddish brown to light brown, darker in head and posterior part of abdomen; dorsal surface of head and pronotum without reticulation; basal impressions of abdominal tergites III–VII with large pores. P. rufula is similar to P. inflexa regarding the median lobe of the aedeagus, but can be distinguished by the following characters: size smaller; sclerites 1 convex at posterior margin, not curved posteriorly at ventral apex; sclerites 4 indistinct. Etymology. The specific name alludes to the reddish body.Published as part of Inoue, Shûgo & Maruyama, Munetoshi, 2022, Revision of the genus Plesiochara Sawada (Coleoptera: Staphylinidae: Aleocharinae), pp. 501-519 in Zootaxa 5165 (4) on pages 515-517, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.5165.4.3, http://zenodo.org/record/685386
A comparative analysis of Y chromosome and mtDNA phylogenies of the <it>Hylobates</it> gibbons
No full textAbstract Background The evolutionary relationships of closely related species have long been of interest to biologists since these species experienced different evolutionary processes in a relatively short period of time. Comparison of phylogenies inferred from DNA sequences with differing inheritance patterns, such as mitochondrial, autosomal, and X and Y chromosomal loci, can provide more comprehensive inferences of the evolutionary histories of species. Gibbons, especially the genus Hylobates, are particularly intriguing as they consist of multiple closely related species which emerged rapidly and live in close geographic proximity. Our current understanding of relationships among Hylobates species is largely based on data from the maternally-inherited mitochondrial DNAs (mtDNAs). Results To infer the paternal histories of gibbon taxa, we sequenced multiple Y chromosomal loci from 26 gibbons representing 10 species. As expected, we find levels of sequence variation some five times lower than observed for the mitochondrial genome (mtgenome). Although our Y chromosome phylogenetic tree shows relatively low resolution compared to the mtgenome tree, our results are consistent with the monophyly of gibbon genera suggested by the mtgenome tree. In a comparison of the molecular dating of divergences and on the branching patterns of phylogeny trees between mtgenome and Y chromosome data, we found: 1) the inferred divergence estimates were more recent for the Y chromosome than for the mtgenome, 2) the species H. lar and H. pileatus are monophyletic in the mtgenome phylogeny, respectively, but a H. pileatus individual falls into the H. lar Y chromosome clade. Conclusions Based on the ~6.4 kb of Y chromosomal DNA sequence data generated for each of the 26 individuals in this study, we provide molecular inferences on gibbon and particularly on Hylobates evolution complementary to those from mtDNA data. Overall, our results illustrate the utility of comparative studies of loci with different inheritance patterns for investigating potential sex specific processes on the evolutionary histories of closely related taxa, and emphasize the need for further sampling of gibbons of known provenance.</p
Kito-ryu jujutsu y la desolación de la Kodokan judo’s Koshiki-no-kata -Recordando a Inoue Shoji (1927-2018)
No full text[ES] Inoue Shōji (1927-2018) nació en la prefectura de Tokushima, Japón. Practicó jūdō en su juventud. Más tarde, estudió el jūjutsude la Kitō-ryū durante un tiempo con Odaka Shigeru. Durante su trayectoria profesional como guarda de prisiones, aceptó una oferta para convertirse en terapeuta de jūdō. Enseñó jūdō y un repertorio limitado de la Kitō-ryū, incluyendo ejercicios que fueron adoptados por el jūdōKōdōkan con el nombre de koshiki-no-kata[Las Formas Antiguas], en un dōjō del distrito de Yamashina-ku, en Kyōto. Con el jūdō Kōdōkan en continuo deterioro hacia un deporte normal, y perdiendo su propósito y valores fundamentales, Inoue valoró cada vez más los valores de las artes marciales tradicionales preservados en el jūjutsude la Kitō-ryū. Su entusiasmo se reflejó al comenzar a realizar demostraciones públicas en diversos eventos en Japón y al convertirse en representante de la Kitō-ryū en el Nihon Kobudō Kyōkai. Probablemente, el momento máximo de gloria de Inoue fue su demostración pública en 2013 con motivo del Fifth International Judo Federation (IJF) World Kata Judo Championships, celebradoen Kyōto. Fue esta presentación la que lo presentó a la comunidad internacional del jūdō y le dio cierta fama. Para la mayoría de los jūdōkas extranjeros, este fue su primer contacto con a Kitō-ryū. Independientemente de la calidad de la demostración de Inoue, su perspectiva mostró un contrapeso frente a la reinvención histórica del Kōdōkan y la caricatura de la katadeportiva de la IJF. Varios videoclips, disponibles en abierto en YouTube, son el recuerdo de su arte. Inoue Shōji tenía el rango de 8º dan del Kōdōkan, y murió pacíficamente en Kyōto el 30 de octubre de 2018.[EN] Inoue Shōji (1927-2018) was born in Tokushima prefecture, Japan. As a youngster he took up jūdō. Later, he studied Kitō-ryū jūjutsufor some time with Odaka Shigeru. During his professional career as a prison guard he followed up on an offer to become a jūdō therapist. In a dōjō in the Yamashina-ku ward in Kyōto he taught both jūdō and a limited catalogue of Kitō-ryū that included exercises that were adopted into Kōdōkan jūdō under the name koshiki-no-kata[The Antique Forms]. With Kōdōkan jūdō continuing to deteriorate into an ordinary sport and losing its core values and purpose, Inoue increasingly appreciated the traditional martial arts values preserved in Kitō-ryū jūjutsu. His enthusiasm was reflected in beginning to give public demonstrations at various events in Japan and becoming a representative of Kitō-ryū in the Nihon Kobudō Kyōkai. Inoue’s supreme moment of glory likely was his public demonstration in 2013 at the occasion of the Fifth International Judo Federation (IJF) World Kata Judo Championships held in Kyōto. It was this performance that introduced him to the international jūdō community and brought him certain fame. For most foreign jūdōka this was their first contact with Kitō-ryū. Irrespective of the quality of Inoue’s display, his approach offered a counterweight against the Kōdōkan’s historic reinvention and the IJF sports katacaricature. Several video clips publicly available on YouTube remain as a lasting memory of his art. Inoue Shōji held the rank of Kōdōkan 8thdan, and peacefully died in Kyōto on October 30th, 2018.[PT] Inoue Shoji (1927-2018) nasceu na prefeitura de Tokushima, no Japão.

Com o jūdōKōdōkancontinuando a se deteriorar em um esporte comum e perdendo seus valores fundamentais e propósito, Inoue valorizou, cada vez mais, os valores das artes marciais tradicionais preservados no jūjutsuda Kitō-ryū. O seu entusiasmo refletiu-se ao começar a realizar demonstrações públicas em diversos eventos no Japão e ao ser representante da Kitō-ryū na Nihon Kobudō Kyōkai.
