‘Memory does not forgive’. On Biała Rika [White Rika] by Magdalena Parys
No full textreferring to autobiographical motifs, recalls past events – the difficult childhood of the main character, specific family relations, and the tragic experiences of a so‑called grandmother. The author of the article discusses the types of trauma connected with the experience of war, unsuccessful relationships within a family and the period of growing up. She concentrates on female characters, as the women in Biała Rika represent a wide variety of women with different features and values. The aim of the article is to interpret Biała Rika in the context of post‑trauma with past torments and the work of memory always in the background of one’s consciousness
Attending the languages of the other: recuperating
No full textThis dissertation engages in an examination of three Asian North American authors' acts of reclaiming "Asia." I discuss the attempts made by Mitsuye Yamada, Joy Kogawa, and Nora Okja Keller to recuperate their ancestral land as a force that intervenes in their normative North American perceptions, discursive practices, and subject constructions. Despite the current popularities in the Asian North Americanists' transnationalist, diasporic, and/or internationalist reclaimings of "Asia," what has been rarely explored is the ways in which "Asia" emerges in these authors' narratives as the Other that intervenes, disrupts, and problematizes their North American part of perceptions and experiences. It is this exploration I undertake.
My dissertation also investigates how my authors negotiate their need to seek recognitions from their dominant nations and to simultaneously disrupt the traditional and hegemonic narratives by which they procure those recognitions. In particular, I will look at the ways in which my authors reconstruct the memories of World War II: the North American internment, the atomic bombing in Japan, Japanese colonialism and sexual enslavement of Korean women as well as the difficulties of narrativizing those memories within the North American context. Through these acts, my authors try to delineate, explore, and redress their present state of racial-ethnic experience and to seek the forms of political subjectivities in North America.
I submit that this process of negotiation, the simultaneous claiming and disclaiming each author engages, is closely connected with their endeavor to envision "Asia." All three authors try to read, configure, and make sense of this signifier of Otherness and to attend the (non)languages of the Other which they initially dismissed as silence and/or noises. The dissertation explores how my three authors perceive, in their different ways, their Asian Other's linguistic articulations as what makes them interrogate their normative North American perceptions and discursive practices. Consequently, I argue that the "two languages" the authors try to access enables them to destabilize their singular perspective and vision, allowing them to interrogate their own monolingualist normality. Finally, I investigate some instances in which this act of attending can also risk becoming an act of owning and possessing.Ph.D.Includes bibliographical references (p. 230-248)by Rika Nakamu
Conformational stabilization of optineurin by the dynamic interaction of linear polyubiquitin
No full textOptineurin produces intracellular multi-functions involving autophagy, vesicular trafficking, and negative regulation of inflammation signaling through interaction with various proteins such as ATG8/LC3, Rab8, and polyubiquitin. Optineurin is a component of cytoplasmic inclusion bodies (IBs) in motor neurons from amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), and its mutation E478G, has been identified in patients with ALS. However, the mechanism by which polyubiquitin binding modulates the interaction partners of OPTN and ALS-associated IB formation is still unclear. To address this issue, we analyzed the interaction of Optineurin with Rab8 and LC3 in the absence and presence of linear polyubiquitin chains using fluorescence cross-correlation spectroscopy and IB formation efficiency of the E478G mutant of Optineurin during Rab8 depletion using fluorescence microscopy. Here, we hypothesize that linear polyubiquitin binding to Optineurin dynamically induces LC3 association and Rab8 dissociation, likely through a conformational change of Optineurin, and the dynamic conformational change may prevent the aggregate formation of mutant Optineurin

No full textRe-engagement in second chance education in Fiji : A study of students' motivation dataset
No full textThis study investigates issues of disengagement and re-engagement in education of adult learners within a second chance learning context in Fiji by comparing the motivational influences of adults who ‘re-engaged’ via the “Matua Program” and adults who chose not to return to school. A mixed method approach was adopted. Participants included adult early school leavers who were not engaged in second chance education and those that chose to enrol with the program. The initial Veitalanoa (qualitative) phase involved 15 participants, the survey 300 participants and Talanoa phase 10 participants. The survey and talanoa instruments were finalised once the veitalanoa phase was completed.
The dataset contains transcripts from interviews and the SPSS data worksheets of quantitative survey data. Data contains some sensitive content that can be conditionally shared.
The quantitative data includes participant responses to the following instruments; Values Beliefs Scale, General Self Efficacy Scale, Academic Self- Efficacy, Academic Resilience Scale, Achievement Emotion Questionnaire, Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support, Individualism-Collectivism Scale.

On the “Chronology of Earthquakes” in the Rika nenpyō (Chronological Scientific Tables): Until the 10th century
No full textThis paper is based on the oral report I gave on July 22, 2023, at the 21st “Disaster Culture and the History of Community Formation” workshop hosted by the Okayama University Research Institute for the Dynamics of Civilizations. I discuss the changes in the “Chronology of Earthquakes” contained within the Rika nenpyō (Chronological Scientific Tables) and some of the problems with them, citing historical earthquake materials. It is necessary to clearly distinguish between real and false earthquakes, such as the Tamba earthquake (701), the Kinai earthquake (734), the Minō earthquake (745), the Ecchū-Echigo earthquake (863), and the Kantō earthquake (878). The author hopes that the “Chronology of Earthquakes” will be published in a better form in the future and calls for efforts in the field of history to verify and introduce historical earthquake materials
