Historical Transition of Shinsakae Shopping Arcade Space

Shinsakae Shopping Street Arcade is a modern all-covered arcade that was built for the first time after the war in central Fukui City. The Shinsakae Shopping Street, where the arcade still exists, is located near the west exit of JR Fukui Station. There are many wooden buildings facing the alleys less than 4m without changing the basic appearance, but in recent years, the age of the buildings and arcades themselves has become a problem. The purpose of this study is to understand the historical transition of the arcade and the Shinsakae shopping district, and the current situation of the Shinsakae shopping district arcade, through actual measurement surveys of the arcade, interviews with people involved in the shopping district, or literature and materials.departmental bulletin pape

The Effect of the Emergency School Closure to Prevent COVID-19 on Frequency of Exercise － For Elementary School Students Who Did not Have Exercise Habits －

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of the emergency school closure to prevent COVID-19 on frequency of exercise in children without exercise habits. The questionnaire was conducted for 5,033 parents of elementary school students, and received 4,646 responses (response rate 92.3%). Among them, we analyzed 395 children who answered that they had no exercise habits (0 times a month) during the period before school closure. 227 children (57.5%) were inactive during the period of school closure. Of these, 63 children (about 37.5%) continued to exercise even after the school closure was lifted. While the school was closed to prevent COVID-19, about one-third of the children who got the chance to start exercising established their exercise habits.departmental bulletin pape

Optimal Maintenance Strategy for Bridges in Fukui Prefecture using the Data of the First Round Inspection

The author presented the deterioration transfer curves of bridge member elements in Fukui prefecture by using the data of the first round inspection. In this study, the most economical repair plan is determined by modifying the bridge management system (BMS) developed in earlier work to be able to apply it to the new deterioration transfer curves for all bridges in Fukui Prefecture. The accuracy and effectiveness of the BMS are demonstrated in the numerical example. The useful maintenance repair plans and maintenance expenses for all bridges are also presented for the next seventy-five years.departmental bulletin pape

Influence of 60 seconds of deep breathing just before the 50m butterfly on swimming performance

In this study, we investigated the effect of a decrease in the partial pressure of carbon dioxide in the body due to deep breathing for 60 seconds (60s-DB) immediately before a 50 m butterfly swim on the subsequent swimming performance. The subjects were five collegiate swimmers. Experiment 1: The partial pressure of exhaled carbon dioxide (PETCO2) at 60 s-DB was measured in the laboratory. Experiment 2: A trial (deep breathing trial) in which 60s-DB was performed 1 minute 30 seconds to 30 seconds before the start and then a 50m butterfly swim and a trial in which 60s-DB was not performed (normal trial)) were performed. Results of Experiment 1: PETCO2 decreased significantly when PETCO2 was compared around 60s-DB (35.46±3.25 mmHg → 27.50±2.66 mmHg, p < 0.01). Results of Experiment 2: The respiratory rate of the 60s-DB trial (1.4±1.50 times) was lower than the respiratory count of the normal trial (3.2±4.4 times). There were no significant differences in swim record, stroke count, maximum heart rate, and RPE between the two trials. Deep breathing immediately before the 50m butterfly swim contributes to the reduction of respiratory rate, but the effect on swimming performance may be small.departmental bulletin pape

Motion characteristics of students who kick with an inappropriate foot posture during soccer instep kicking － Analysis performed by type of foot posture －

In soccer instep kicks, it is important to plantarflex the foot joint, tilt the foot to the side, and turn the instep forward at the time of ball impact. This study aimed to examine the characteristics of motion of those who kick with an inappropriate foot posture and clarify the points of motion that should be improved. Five male soccer players (experienced) and 32 male students were included in the study. Data on the postures of the support and swing legs were acquired from the images of the high-speed camera installed behind the subject. As a result of the analysis, the subjects who kicked the ball on the inside of the foot had a swing motion in which the knee of the swing leg faced outward and the tilt of the swing leg to the side was small. Moreover, the subject who had less tilt of the foot to the side had a swing motion in which the knee of the swing leg faced forward, but both the support and swing legs had less tilt to the side. In this way, even in the case of inappropriate foot posture, the motion characteristics differ depending on the type, so it is considered necessary to guide according to each pattern.departmental bulletin pape

The Study of the Residences in Shihi-guchi and the Jizomachi-guchi A Study on the Residences the Machi-kuchi in the Fukui Castle Town, part5

This paper compares of the residences in Shihi-guchi and the Jizomachi-guchi. The Yoriki and Ashigaru lived in five towns through the Edo era. The three towns of Shihiguchi-Ikadacho, Okagocho, and Nishi-Ohatacho had Tradesman’s land, Temples, and Samurai residences. The residence of the Matsuoka clan was in located Okobitocho from the Shoho2 year to the kyouho6 year. At the Jizomachi-guchi, there were three towns, Jizomachi, Okumachi, and Soto-Jizomachi. The three towns were also residential areas for lower Samurai such as Yoriki and Ashigaru. It was recognized that the ASHIDA Family’s Shimoyashiki in Kochiseki was in located Soto Jizomachi, and that the number of Samurai residences was larger than that of the Kumiyashiki at the end of the Edo period.departmental bulletin pape

The Verb clear and the Prepositions of/from in the History of English

This paper aims to clarify the development of the complementation of the verb clear co-occurring with the prepositions of and from. Our investigations based on EEBO and COHA show that the ‘NP-AGENT clear NP-LOCATION(HUMAN) of NP-LOCATUM(AN)’ form and the ‘NP-AGENT clear NP-LOCATION(HUMAN) from NP-LOCATUM(AN)’ form, both of which were derived from the syntactic structures of the verbs of removal in Old English, were dominant in the Modern English period, but in Present-day English the former was gradually replaced by the ‘NP-AGENT clear NP-LOCATION of NP-LOCATUM(CN)’ form and the latter the ‘NP-AGENT clear NP-LOCATUM(CN) from NP-LOCATION(CN)’ form.departmental bulletin pape

Relationship between non-contact and face-recognition type body surface and axillary body temperature

OBJECTIVES: Although non-contact body surface temperature measurement has become the mainstream in COVID-19, it is believed that non-contact measurements such as face recognition type tend to show lower values. Therefore, we investigated the relationship between face-recognition type body surface temperature, non-contact type body surface temperature, and axillary body temperature. METHODS: Three measurements of 32 male university students were taken. The room temperature and humidity at the time of each measurement were also noted. Significant differences and correlation coefficients between the measurements were examined. A risk rate of less than 5% was considered significant. RESULTS: The Friedman test showed significant differences (p=0.0000006). Furthermore, Bonferroni's multiple comparison test showed significant differences between axillary and non-contact (p=0.00011) and non-contact and face recognition (p=0.0000028), but not between axillary and face recognition. In addition, no significant correlations were found among all measurements. Partial correlations that removed the effect of room temperature showed no significant correlations, but Spearman's rank correlation coefficient, which subtracted room temperature from each measurement, showed significant correlations among all measurements (p=7.76E-10, 6.7E-10, 2.75E-10). CONCLUSIONS: Body surface temperature may be related to axillary, non-contact, and face recognition measurements.departmental bulletin pape

Examination of the video analysis method for paddling motion with a canoe ergometer

In canoe sprint, propulsive force is generated when paddling in the water (when resistance is applied to the blade). A canoe ergometer is a machine that reproduces the state when resistance is applied to a blade and utilizes it for practice on land. However, since the canoe ergometer is installed on land, we cannot see the moment when the blade enters the water surface. Thus, it is impossible to confirm the phase in which propulsive force is generated from the video image. Therefore, in this study, we calculated the acceleration data of the shaft edge from the video image of the canoe ergometer during paddling motion and attempted to derive the phase when the propulsive force is generated from the acceleration data. In the analysis, we used video images of paddling with a canoe ergometer in 10 men and 1 woman (5 kayak and 6 canadian subjects) belonging to the university canoe club. The analysis showed that it was possible to clearly derive the phase that produces propulsive force using the shaft edge acceleration data. It was also suggested that the subject’s performance can be quantitatively evaluated using the data of the shaft edge velocity.departmental bulletin pape
