Georissus (Nipponogeorissus) Sato 1972
No full textSubgenus Nipponogeorissus Satô, 1972 Nipponogeorissus Satô, 1972: 212. Type species: Georissus granulosus Satô, 1972 (by original designation). Redescription HEAD. Both clypeus and frons uneven, provided extensively with foveae, with distinct carinae; slr reaching anterior margin of frons; lsa connecting each other, forming U-shape. Granulation of clypeus indistinct. Mandibles (Fig. 4K) relatively large; lateral margin linear, apex unidentate; mola not developed. Antennae (Fig. 4N) relatively short; antennomere 4 as wide as antennomere 3, about twice as long as antennomere 3; pubescence of club short. Labrum (Fig. 4E) protruding anteriorly; spines on anterior margin indistinct. Apical labial palpomere (Fig. 4H) elongated oval, densely bearing short spines. Galea (Fig. 4B) densely bearing short setae. PRONOTUM. Half oval; lateral portion slightly projecting laterally; disc densely provided with granules; smlg distinct; without sdn. ELYTRA. Bearing four longitudinal costae consisting of granules. Humeral bulges distinct. Lateral ridges indistinct. ABDOMEN. Ventrites densely bearing granules; ventrites 1–2 without vt and excavation. MALE GENITALIA. Aedeagus elongated. Parameres as long as phallobase. Median lobe little shorter than parameres. Basal struts short. Phallobase bulbous at basal portion. Remarks This subgenus is distinguished by the combination of the following characters: pronotum provided with large granules extensively (not extensively in subgenera Georissus and Neogeorissus); disc of clypeus and frons provided with many carinae, granulation indistinct (in other subgenera, granulation distinct). This subgenus comprises only two species from Japan and Papua New Guinea: the Japanese species is G. (Ni.) granulosus Satô, 1972, and the other species is G. (Ni.) biroi Delève, 1969. Georissus (Neogeorissus) maritimus Fikáček et al., 2012 described from Socotra Island (Yemen) is similar to Nipponogeorissus species in the entirely granulated pronotum, and narrow, elongated aedeagus (Fikáček et al. 2012).Published as part of Yasuda, Kohei & Yoshitomi, Hiroyuki, 2022, Revision of the genus Georissus (Coleoptera, Hydrophiloidea, Georissidae) of Japan, pp. 111-142 in European Journal of Taxonomy 817 (1) on page 121, DOI: 10.5852/ejt.2022.817.1767, http://zenodo.org/record/651792

Development of a high energy absorbing device composed of curved members
No full text<h2>Chikashi Endo Civil Engineer Kajima Corp. Tokyo, Japan</h2><h2>Kohei Sato Civil Engineer Toda Corp.</h2><p>Tokyo, Japan</p><p>The present study is investigated the ultimate behavior of the highly energy absorbing device which is composed of the curved pair members for the seismic response control of bridge structures experimentally and analytically. The effects of the configuration of members and the steel with low- yield ratio of this device are clarified by the numerical FEM analysis. Six specimens with the curved pair members and the straight ones were tested under cyclic axial load. It was shown that the damper device composed of the curved pair members has a highly energy absorption. Numerical seismic response analyses for the steel frame structure installed this proposed damper device were carried out by the nonlinear program. The effect of the high energy absorbing device on the seismic response behavior of frame structures was examined.</p></jats:p

Two new species of Syllidae (Annelida) from Misaki Bay and Sugashima Island, Japan
No full textThe shorelines of Japan host diverse ecosystems, particularly in the shallow coastal waters, which are rich in syllid species. This study describes two new Syllidae species: Virchowia christophi sp. nov., discovered at Misaki and Sugashima Island, and Paraopisthosyllis rufa sp. nov., found at Misaki. Additionally, we provide a redescription of Syllis okadai Fauvel, 1913, based on specimens collected from Misaki. Virchowia christophi sp. nov. shows a unique combination of characters, such as branched nuchal epaulettes together with a complex colouration pattern featuring white, beige, and brown transverse lines, along with white refringent dots, and chaetae with long distal teeth. The second new species, Paraopisthosyllis rufa sp. nov., is distinguished from similar species by its vivid red colouration and segments secondarily triannulated. Paraopisthosyllis rufa sp. nov. is able to generate a secondary ventral tail while the developing stolon (reproductive unit) is still attached to the parental stock. This trait has previously been observed in species of Megasyllis San Martín et al. 2008 and Alcyonosyllis Glasby & Watson, 2001, two genera that are phylogenetically closely related to Paraopisthosyllis Hartmann-Schröder, 1991. This is the first report of the genus Paraopisthosyllis from Japan. Dense ciliation around eyes is identified as a new characteristic of Syllis okadai and its stolons are described in detail. The phylogenetic position of all three species is investigated using maximum likelihood, combining three genes (18S, 16S, COI). Paraopisthosyllis rufa sp. nov. forms a monophyletic clade with other Paraopisthosyllis species. Syllis okadai from Misaki is sister to the already investigated Syllis okadai from Manazuru, Japan. Virchowia christophi sp. nov. has an ambiguous phylogenetic position within Autolytinae since current molecular data suggests that Virchowia Langerhans, 1879 might be paraphyletic.

Dialektyka natury i społeczeństwa przeciwko monizmowi. Esej recenzyjny z „Marx in the Anthropocene” Kohei Saita (2023, Cambridge University Press)
No full textThe article discusses Kohei Saito’s work Marx in the Anthropocene, placing it against the broader background of the discussion of Marx’s ecological thought and explaining the basic assumptions of metabolic scratch theory. The main thread of the book on which the author focuses, however, is Saito’s critique of contemporary ecocritical monist conceptions (binding the orders of nature and culture into a unity). As she shows, Marx’s methodological dualism is better able to identify ways out of the ecological crisis.Artykuł omawia pracę Marx in the Anthropocene Kohei Saita, umieszczając ją na szerszym tle dyskusji nad ekologiczną myślą Marksa oraz wyjaśniając podstawowe założenia teorii rysy metabolicznej. Głównym wątkiem książki, na którym skupia się autorka, jest jednak przeprowadzona przez Saita krytyka współczesnych ekokrytycznych koncepcji monistycznych (wiążących w jedność porządek natury i kultury). Jak pokazuje, metodologiczny dualizm Marksa lepiej pozwala określić drogi wyjścia z ekologicznego kryzysu

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.
