Analysis on ƒÀ and ƒÐ Convergences of East Asian Currencies
No full textThis paper investigates recent diverging trends among East Asian currencies as well as recent movements of the weighted average value of East Asian currencies (Asian Monetary Unit: AMU) and deviations (AMU Deviation Indicators) of the East Asian currencies from the average values by ƒÀ and ƒÐ convergence methods. Our empirical analysis shows that linkages with the US dollar have been weakening since 2001 or 2002 for some of the East Asian countries. On the other hand, the monetary authority of China continues stabilizing the exchange rate of the Chinese yuan against the US dollar even though it announced its adoption of a currency basket system. It is found that the weighted average of East Asian currencies has been appreciating against the US dollar while depreciating against the currency basket of the US dollar and the euro until the global financial crisis in 2008. Also, the analytical results on ƒÀ and ƒÐ Convergences show that deviations among the East Asian currencies have been widening@in recent years, reflecting the fact that these countriesf monetary authorities are adopting a variety of exchange rate systems. In other words, a coordination failure in adopting exchange rate systems among these monetary authorities increases volatility and misalignment of intra-regional exchange rates in East Asia.

Healing Literatures by Contemporary Japanese Female Authors: Yoshimoto Banana, Ogawa Yoko, and Kawakami Hiromi
No full textIn this dissertation, I examine three popular contemporary Japanese female writers—Yoshimoto Banana (b.1964), Ogawa Yoko (b.1962), and Kawakami Hiromi (b.1958), who all debuted after the peak of Japan’s bubble economy in the late 1980s. Focusing on the works of these three living authors, I investigate the ways in which they deal with the theme of spiritual and emotional healing, and how they are original in the world of Japanese literature. Since they are all women, in terms of feminist context, I also look into how differently they respond to the gender issues from the prior generation of female authors.In Introduction, I begin with the examination of how prewar authors dealt with the theme of spiritual healing. Using Snow Country (1937) by the male writer Kawabata Yasunari and “A Floral Pageant” (1937) by the female author Okamoto Kanoko (1899-1939), I discuss the commonality of these two authors, apart from the evident disparities related to their difference in gender. Their stories both end with the description of their protagonist’s spiritual climax, associated with their transcendental leap from their everyday reality. Comparing those prewar authors, I discuss how differently the three contemporary authors approach the same topic. In terms of their common gender, I also address outstanding characteristics of feminist messages delivered by their previous generation of female authors from the postwar to the 1970s, and how our authors are different from the previous ones in terms of their interest in feminism and women’s issues.Chapter 1 examines the novels of Yoshimoto Banana, the author who debuted before the other two. I begin with an analysis on how her interest in spirituality is related to the social background of the bubble-collapse period between the late 1980s and the early 1990s—in relation, in particular, to the healing boom and the impact of Aum Shinrikyō’s sarin gas attack on Tokyo Subways in 1995. With her critiques on the so-called shin shin shūkyō, newly established religious groups, she claims that spiritual healing should be based on one’s awakening of his or her connection with nature to be blessed. And she stresses and encourages with that awareness to live through everyday reality with hope.Chapter 2 explores works of Ogawa Yoko. I analyze how she develops her theme of girlhood by examining her earlier works, which recurrently focus on her adolescent protagonists’ anxieties—their fear of separation from their girlhood and their frustration about moving into a sexualized female adulthood. At the end of this chapter, I examine Mīna’s March, a work, which extensively features a young protagonist’s girlhood and her days growing up. Ogawa implies that richness of girlhood—free from sexuality and gender tensions—is the key source for female mental growth.Chapter 3 investigates stories of Kawakami Hiromi. I begin with an introduction of her essays, which show her core theme of “sakaime” (borderline realm). I examine her earlier stories about relationships between human and nonhuman characters, and as well as her later stories about relationships between two human characters. I consistently find that the “sakaime” opens her protagonists to an animistic vision of a human relationship with nature—a vision which human lives are part of nature’s vast, unsteady, and ever-changing life flows. Ultimately, the animistic sensitivity works for her protagonists’ inner growth.In conclusion, I summarize the three authors’ differences and commonalities in spiritual and emotional healing and related topic such as female independence, individualities, and the human relationship with nature. I conclude that the three authors responded in a timely and effective manner to the needs of the readers in the contemporary society of Japan.</div

Description: Length 1.58 mm, width 1.06 mm. Head, body and femora ochreous, apical abdominal segments, tibiae, tarsi and antennae lighter, yellowish. Pronotum and elytra not microsculptured and not iridescent. Length/width ratio of antennomeres as: III 13/8: IV 34/7: V 44/7: VI 41/7: VII 47/14: VIII 37/8: IX 45/12: X 41/12: XI 58/14. Pronotum very finely and fairly densely punctate; lateral contours evenly rounded, lateral margin carinae hardly visible in dorsal view, lateral striae appearing impunctate. Exposed tip of scutellum small. Elytra with lateral margin carinae visible in dorsal view, apical margins truncate, inner apical angles not prominent, situated posterior level of outer angles; sutural margin not raised, sutural striae fairly deep, hardly curved at base, very weakly converging apically, punctate; adsutural areas narrow, flat, densely and very finely punctate, lateral striae appearing impunctate; discal punctation coarser than pronotal punctation, dense and fine, with puncture intervals slightly larger to four times as large as puncture diameters. Hind wings fully developed. Hypomera and mesanepisterna not microsculptured, smooth. Mesepimera about 1.5 times as long as intervals to mesocoxae, about four times as long as wide. Metaventrite in middle part hardly convex, with strigulate microsculpture and very finely, sparsely punctate, with single shallow mesal impression; microsculpture present between mesocoxae and metacoxae, lateral parts of metaventrite not microsculptured, sparsely and very finely punctate; antecoxal puncture rows absent. Submesocoxal areas 0.03 mm, about as fifth of intervals to metacoxae, submesocoxal lines parallel, distinctly punctate. Metanepisternum flat, narrowed anteriad, inner margin straight in middle part, rounded near angles, impressed below margin of metaventrite. Tibiae straight. Abdomen with strigulate microsculpture, very finely punctate, submetacoxal areas 0.05 mm, almost as fourth of intervals to apical margin of sternite 1, submetacoxal lines convex, distinctly punctate. M a l e: Protarsomeres 1 to 3 and mesotarsomeres 1 and 2 distinctly widened. Aedeagus (Figs 212, 213) 0.90 mm long, symmetrical, fairly sclerotized. Median lobe with dorsal branches of apical process short, ventral branch shorter than basal bulb, weakly inflexed, tapering (dorsal view), with somewhat sinuate ventral side and two subapical denticles on dorsal side (lateral view). Articular process robust, not prominent. Parameres sinuate and widened posterior mid-length in lateral view, almost evenly wide and strongly bent in dorsal view. Internal sac complex, with very dense, elongate bunch of proximal denticles, followed by two robust admesal teeth joint in middle, pair of hornlike teeth, several small sclerites in-between, and several elongate subapical spines; membranes posterior robust teeth with scale-like structures. E t y m o l o g y: The species is dedicated to a friend of the senior author, Jan Kodada, Bratislava, Slovakia, who collected this species. C o m p a r a t i v e n o t e s: The aedeagal characters suggest close relationships of S. jankodadai with S. luzonicum PIC. The internal sacs differ conspicuously, in particular by the proximal bunch of denticles and the shape of the large admesal teeth present in S. jankodadai. The new species differs from S. luzonicum in external characters by the uniformly ochreous body and the parallel submesocoxal lines.Published as part of Ivan Löbl & Ryo Ogawa, 2016, On the Scaphisomatini (Coleoptera, Staphylinidae, Scaphidiinae) of the Philippines, IV: the genera Sapitia ACHARD and Scaphisoma LEACH, pp. 1339-1492 in Linzer biologische Beiträge 48 (2) on pages 1426-1427, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.24720
