Women\u27s Cultural Education and Occupation in Serial Novels in the Early Showa Period : Focusing on Mother by Turumi Yusuke(1929)
No full textThis paper examines how the norm of good wife and wise mother was discussed through the usage of the word “educated” in Yusuke Tsurumi’s Mother, serialized in Fujin Club from May 1927 to June 1929. The Fujin Club, started in 1920 by Dai Nippon Yubenkai Kodansha, was a magazine read by many working women and girl students in their early teens to their early twenties. Through collaboration between Seiji Noma, president of Kodansha, who tried to present the mother as an ideal female figure, and author and politician Yusuke Tsurumi, the series Mother was started. It can be considered that Asako, the leading character of Mother, who overcomes various crises in life through ideal education obtained through reading and school, could garner the empathy of the women of those times who dreamt of being independent. However, since success as a working woman was for the progressive future of her son, Asako’s success ultimately gets attributed to the norm of good wife and wise mother. However, rather than seeing the series Mother of the Fujin Club as propaganda, the author would like to consider the significance of the series to lie in its potential as a text through which the Kodansha culture, considered a symbol of anti-cultural education strategically utilized the masses’desire for cultural education.査読研究論文Refereed Paper

No full textDeriving safety constraints for integration of unmanned aircraft systems into the national airspace by application of STECA
No full textThesis: S.M. in Technology and Policy, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, School of Engineering, Institute for Data, Systems, and Society, Technology and Policy Program, 2016.This electronic version was submitted by the student author. The certified thesis is available in the Institute Archives and Special Collections.Cataloged from student-submitted PDF version of thesis.Includes bibliographical references (pages 129-132).Unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) have been used for years especially in the military. However, the operation of UAS in civil aviation has been limited since there are a lot of uncertainties: a regulatory scheme needs to be established and associated technologies need to be developed. This thesis contributes to both technology development and establishing a regulatory scheme for UAS by generating safety constraints using the new methodology developed by Professor Leveson and Dr. Fleming. This methodology is called "'Systems-Theoretic Early Concept Analysis" (STECA) and is based on Systems-Theoretic Accident Model and Processes (STAMP) analysis, which is also developed by the professor. STECA has potential to generate more safety constraints that have not been considered otherwise in the early stage of development and this allows the producer to redesign the entire system with potentially less cost. This thesis illustrates why and how STECA can be powerful to support integration of UAS into NAS. In addition, this thesis actually demonstrates how STECA derives safety constraints as a case study and shows how the safety constraints should be integrated in the system development.by Yusuke Urano.S.M. in Technology and Polic
Mechanical Characterization of Individual Needles in Microneedle Arrays: Factors Affecting Compression Test Results
No full textBackground: This study aims to investigate the impact of test conditions on the results of the compression testing of microneedle arrays (MNAs). Methods: Uniaxial compression tests were conducted on polyglycolic acid-fabricated biodegradable MNAs. Load–displacement curves were obtained for varying conditions, including the number of microneedles (MNs) compressed simultaneously, compression speeds, and compression angles. Subsequently, the buckling load and stiffness were calculated, and the MN deformation during compression was observed. Results: The buckling load and stiffness per MN decreased significantly with a simultaneous increase in compressed MNs. The mean buckling load and stiffness of 52 MNs in single-needle compression tests were 0.211 ± 0.008 N and 13.9 ± 1.3 N/mm, respectively, with no variation among the three MNAs. However, a significant difference in buckling load and stiffness was observed among the MNs within the MNAs. Additionally, buckling loads and stiffnesses were significantly lower in certain MNs at the same location in different MNAs. Buckling load and stiffness decreased significantly during inclined compression compared to during vertical compression. While the tests evaluate the mechanical properties of MNAs, test results may vary depending on test conditions. Conclusions: Compression testing of the individual MNs comprising an MNA helps evaluate the mechanical properties of MNs and ensure the quality of MNAs

Lett. 93, 173509 (2008) and may be found at https://doi.org/10.1063/1.2952765.The authors demonstrate local alignment of nematic liquid crystal through the fabrication of local micrograting structures by curing an ultraviolet curable material via a two-photon excitation laser-lithography process. A local twisted-nematic region was prepared using one rubbed and one fabricated micrograting surface and the resulting cell was observed with a polarizing optical microscope. The polarization optical micrographs of the locally fabricated region suggest that liquid crystal molecules align parallel to the grating structure and that local alignment is achieved. We evaluate the anchoring energies of the fabricated microgratings by the torque balance method
