Paisajes míticos y paisajes históricos de la Antigua Grecia en el manga-anime Saint Seiya
No full textFrom an interdisciplinary analysis, this article examines the using of the Greek archaeolog-ical landscapes in the manga-anime Saint Seiya of Masami Kurumada for building its fic-tional spaces. On the basis of the notion of landscape, as a representation of the reading-sighting on a territory, this work considers that representation under a society’s way of seeing and ordering its world: the scopic regime. Thus, the scopic regime explains the Western ideas about the Ancient Greece, its mythology and its historical landscapes. Alt-hough those sights have been reproduced and modified historically, according to the po-litical and economic interests, but also the social and cultural inquisitiveness in each pe-riod and place. In the context of globalisation, and as a Japanese cultural product, Saint Seiya has produced new ways of seeing the Greek archaeological landscapes; from histori-cal disclosure, cinema, and touristic marketing in the West taught to the author as An-cient Greece. That is the reason that Western Saint Seiya fans assimilate other ways of seeing and meanings those landscapes and face them during tourist visits or consulting historical material.Desde un análisis interdisciplinario, este artículo se examina la utilización de los paisajes arqueológicos griegos en el manga-anime Saint Seiya de Masami Kurumada para la constitución de sus propios espacios ficticios. Este trabajo parte de la noción de paisaje como la representación resultante de la lectura-observación hecha a un territorio y a partir de la manera en que las sociedades construyen la manera de ver y ordenar su mundo: el régimen escópico. Así, el régimen escópico permite explicar el ideario occidental construido en torno a la Antigua Grecia, su mitología y sus paisajes históricos. Aunque esas miradas han sido reproducidas y modificadas históricamente, según los intereses políticos y económicos; así como por las inquietudes sociales y culturales de cada época y lugar. En el contexto de la globalización y como producto cultural japonés, Saint Seiya ha permitido la aparición de nuevas miradas sobre los paisajes arqueológicos griegos; a partir de lo que la divulgación histórica, el cine y la publicidad turística occidentales le presentaron a su autor como griego antiguo. De ahí que, los fans occidentales de este manga-anime integren nuevas miradas y significados a estos paisajes, al confrontarlos en alguna visita turística Grecia o la consulta de material divulgativo
Who Uses Free Trade Agreements?
No full textIt is noted that utilization of ASEAN Free Trade Agreements (FTAs) is low by international standards. In order to clarify the reasons for such low utilization, this paper investigates what kinds of Japanese affiliates in ASEAN are more likely to use FTAs in their exporting, by employing unique affiliate-level data. Our findings are as follows. First, the larger the affiliate is, or the more diversified the origins of its procurements, the more likely it is to utilize an FTA scheme in its exporting. Second, affiliates that export actively to countries with higher general tariffs are more likely to use FTAs. Third, there are clear differences in FTA utilization depending affiliates, locations and sectors.

Effect of Externally Driven Magnetic Islands on Resistive Ballooning Turbulence
No full textTurbulent transport in the edge region of tokamak plasmas is simulated using a reduced set of magnetohydrodynamic equations. Repetitive and intermittent transport bursts driven by resistive ballooning turbulence with external heating are observed. The effect of a resonant magnetic perturbation (RMP) on turbulent heat transport is examined, where the electromagnetic response of the plasma to the RMP is solved consistently. The penetration of the RMP excites a magnetic island chain and damps the poloidal flow near the magnetic islands. The transport bursts are found to be replaced by more moderate and continuous transport. The change in the transport pattern is associated with the effect of the RMP on nonlinear coupling of fluctuations.journal articl

Emerg Infect Dis
No full textWe estimated the latent tuberculosis infection (LTBI) rate for foreign-born students at Keio University, Tokyo, Japan, using an interferon-\u3b3 release assay. The LTBI rate for students from countries with estimated tuberculosis incidence >100 cases/100,000 persons was high (10.0%). Universities should screen for LTBI in students from countries with high tuberculosis incidence
