Surviving modernization: State, community, and the environment in two Japanese fishing towns
No full textThis dissertation builds on and aims to contribute to the anthropological understandings of the commons, natural resource management, and modernization. Through a historical and ethnographic investigation based on two coastal fishing towns in Japan, the dissertation demonstrates that the ways in which people interact with common natural resources are dynamically constructed within a complex web of shifting political, cultural, and ecological conditions. With growing concerns, largely since the 1970s, regarding the environment, few argue that managing natural resources is unnecessary, but there is a heated debate regarding the proper methods. In order to improve the poor outcomes of “command-and-control” natural resource management schemes and planned development, policy makers and scholars have worked to promote “community-based natural resource management” and “co-management” as new conservation strategies accentuating the role of community. Japanese coastal resource management has often been celebrated as a success story that shows the relevance of traditional communities, and even used as a model for promoting conservation strategies in other countries. Other scholars have pointed to the problems that these strategies, particularly when based on romantic images of traditional communities, can create. This dissertation argues that even in these two Japanese fishing towns, the actual practices of resource management are also much more complex than simplified or romantic discourses of communities would suggest. And this should prompt us to reconsider “traditional” and “modern” methods for achieving collective action for the management of common natural resources. The “traditional,” like other closely related social categories such as “modern” and “backward,” is temporally constructed and malleable, and has been produced in part through state modernizing projects. These too have varied over time and are hardly linear, and they often masquerade the complexities and ambiguities of the contemporary culture of the commons. In Surviving Modernization, I wish to highlight two major findings. Contemporary Japan’s coastal resource management is part of the state’s modernization project, which has survived as a grand theme for the last sixty years. At the community level, however, the ways in which people respond to the state’s modernization project are deeply associated with their survival as fishing families.Ph.D.Includes bibliographical referencesIncludes vitaby Satsuki Takahash
JENIS DAN MAKNA ONOMATOPE PADA ANIME BARAKAMON EPISODE 1-12 KARYA SATSUKI YOSHINO
No full textABSTRACTLanguage is a symbol of sound that has gone through agreement, for example onomatope is arepresentative of a word that symbolizes something that is happening such as an imitation of someone'slaughter or the sound of an object. In Japanese onomatope is divided into four, namely giongo is an imitationof the sound of objects, giseigo is an imitation of human and animal sounds, gitaigo is an imitation sound of amovement or situation, and gijougo is an imitation of human feelings. The Barakamon anime is an anime thathas a background on the island of Goto where there is a larger population of small children which makes itpossible for onomatopoeic stories to occur. The purpose of this study is to find the type and meaning ofonomatope contained in the anime Barakamon episodes 1 to 12. The research method used is qualitative-descriptive, namely making a description explanation of the meaning of the onomatope found in dialogues andmonologues in the data. In collecting data, the author used the listening and note technique, namely listening tothe dialogue in the Barakamon anime and recording the necessary parts and then dividing by type ofonomatope. The analytical technique used is a descriptive analysis technique. Based on this research, foundonomatopoeia in the anime Barakamon by Satsuki Yoshino, namely onomatopoeia giongo as much as 9 data,onomatopoeia giseiso 15 data, onomatopoiea gitaigo 4 data, and onomatopoiea gijougo 4 data. Giseigo data isthe one that appears most often, this is because in anime there are far more onomatopoeic calls that representimitation of human voices or living creatures.Keywords : giongo, giseigo, gitaigo, gijougo, descriptive.????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? ????????? 4 ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? ????????????????? 1 ?~? 12 ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? 9 ???????? 15 ???????? 4 ???????? 4 ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? : ???, ???, ???, ???,??
Disentangling Cognitive Inflexibility in Major Depressive Disorder: A Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation Study.
No full textBACKGROUND
Cognitive dysfunction is a persistent residual symptom in major depressive disorders (MDDs) that hinders social and occupational recovery. Cognitive inflexibility is a typical cognitive dysfunction in MDD and refers to difficulty in switching tasks, which requires two subcomponents: forgetting an old task and adapting to a new one. Here, we aimed to disentangle the subcomponents of cognitive inflexibility in MDD and investigate whether they can be improved by transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) on the prefrontal cortex.
METHODS
The current study included 20 patients with MDD (7 females) and 22 age-matched healthy controls (HCs) (7 females). The participants received anodal tDCS on either the dorsomedial prefrontal cortex (DMPFC) or dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) in a crossover design. Before and after the application of tDCS, the participants performed a modified Wisconsin Card Sorting Test, in which the task-switching rules were explicitly described and proactive interference from a previous task rule was occasionally released.
RESULTS
We found that the behavioral cost of a task switch was increased in patients with MDD, but that of proactive interference was comparable between patients with MDD and HCs. The response time for anodal DMPFC tDCS was decreased compared with that for anodal tDCS on the DLPFC in MDD.
CONCLUSIONS
These findings suggest that cognitive inflexibility in MDD is primarily explained by the difficulty to adapt to a new task and environment, and that tDCS on the DMPFC improves behavioral performance during cognitively demanding tasks that require conflict resolution.

No full textKeluarga sebagai lingkungan yang terdekat dengan anak memiliki peran penting dalam proses pembentukan karakter anak. Salah satu media dalam mendidik karakter pada anak-anak sejak dini yaitu dengan penyampaian sebuah cerita anak maupun dongeng anak. Pada era kemajuan teknologi saat ini dalam menyajikan suatu cerita yang mengandung pendidikan karakter untuk anak-anak tidak hanya melalui buku cerita saja. Namun, ada pula penyajian yang lebih menarik yaitu dalam bentuk film, salah satunya adalah anime Tonari no Totoro. Penulis menemukan pendidikan karakter yang dapat dijadikan tontonan untuk anak-anak di Indonesia dalam menanamkan karakter yang baik yang dicerminkan oleh karakter utama Satsuki dan Mei. Peneliti menggunakan metode penelitian pendekatan kualitatif deskriptif. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui nilai-nilai pendidikan karakter yang tercerminkan pada karakter utama Satsuki dan Mei dalam anime Totoro. Hasil penelitian ini ditemukan 12 nilai dari 18 nilai pendidikan karakter dari kutipan kurikulum pendidikan nasional oleh Syarbini dalam Miranti yaitu : rasa ingin tahu, peduli sosial, kerja keras, bersahabat/komunikatif, cinta damai, demokratis, disiplin, mandiri, jujur, religius, menghargai prestasi, dan tanggung jawab. Nilai pendidikan karakter yang paling banyak ditemukan adalah nilai peduli sosial. Penokohan tokoh utama Satsuki merupakan sosok seorang anak-anak yang sangat menyayangi keluarganya. Untuk pengajar diharapkan dapat digunakan sebagai media pembelajaran untuk memberikan contoh nilai-nilai pendidikan karakter bagi peserta didik. // Family as the closest environment to children has an important role in the process of forming children's character. One of the media in educating characters in children from an early age is by telling a children's story or children's fairy tales. In the era of current technological advances in presenting a story that contains character education for children, not only through story books. However, there is also a presentation that is more interesting, namely in the form of a film, one of which is the anime Tonari no Totoro. The author finds character education that can be used as a spectacle for children in Indonesia in instilling a good character that is reflected by the main characters Satsuki and Mei. Researchers used a descriptive qualitative research method. The purpose of this study was to determine the values of character education that are reflected in the main characters of Satsuki and Mei in the anime Totoro. The results of this study found 12 values out of 18 values of character education from the quotation of the national education curriculum by Syarbini in Miranti, namely: curiosity, social care, hard work, friendly / communicative, peace-loving, democratic, disciplined, independent, honest, religious, respectful achievements, and responsibilities. The value of character education that is mostly found is the value of social care. The character of the main character Satsuki is the figure of a child who really loves his family. Teachers are expected to be used as a learning medium to provide examples of the values of character education for students
Pre-stimulus Brain Activity Is Associated With State-Anxiety Changes During Single-Session Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation
No full textTranscranial direct current stimulation is a promising neuromodulation method for treating depression. However, compared with pharmacological treatment, previous studies have reported that a relatively limited proportion of patients respond to tDCS treatment. In addition, the neurophysiological mechanisms underlying tDCS treatment remain unclear, making it difficult to identify response predictors for tDCS treatment based on neurophysiological function. Because treatment effects are achieved by repetitive application of tDCS, studying the immediate effects of tDCS in depressive patients could extend understanding of its treatment mechanisms. However, immediate changes in a single session of tDCS are not well documented. Thus, in the current study, we focused on the immediate impact of tDCS and its association with pre-stimulus brain activity. To address this question, we applied anodal tDCS to the left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) or dorsomedial prefrontal cortex (DMPFC) in 14 patients with major depressive disorder (MDD) and 19 healthy controls (HCs), at an intensity of 1.0 mA for 20 min in a single session. To evaluate anxiety, the state trait anxiety inventory was completed before and after tDCS. We recorded resting electroencephalography before tDCS, and calculated electrical neuronal activity in the theta and alpha frequency bands using standardized low-resolution electromagnetic tomography. We found that, during application of left DLPFC tDCS to patients with MDD, the anxiety reduction effect of tDCS was related to higher baseline theta-band activity in the rostral anterior cingulate cortex (rACC) and no medication with benzodiazepine used as hypnotic. For DMPFC stimulation in MDD, the anxiety reduction effect was associated with lower baseline alpha-band activity in the left inferior parietal lobule. In contrast, in HCs, the anxiety reduction effect was associated with higher baseline alpha activity in the precuneus during DMPFC stimulation. The current results suggest that the association between pre-tDCS brain activity and the anxiety reduction effect of tDCS depends on psychopathology (depressed or non-depressed) as well as the site of stimulation (DMPFC or left DLPFC) and insomnia. Furthermore, the results suggest that tDCS response might be associated with baseline resting state electrophysiological neural activity
Synthesis and Tunable Optical Properties of C,N-Chelated Borate Luminophores Derived from Potassium Acyltrifluoroborates
No full textA new class of borate luminophores has been synthesized by a simple two-step reaction using potassium acyltrifluoroborates (KATs) as starting materials. The hydrazones obtained from reactions between KATs and 2-hydrazinopyridines followed by a cyclization resulted in the unprecedented formation of C,N-chelated six-membered bora-heterocycles. Under consideration of the results of DFT and TD-DFT calculations, four luminophores based on such bora-heterocycles are designed and synthesized, which exhibit a tunable fluorescence range from blue to red in the solid state. Moreover, one of the luminophores exhibits mechanofluorochromism from blue to yellow/green. As a result of the aforementioned mechanochromism of one of these luminophores, white-color emission was achieved by simply mixing the four luminophores
