ひょうじょうのきょうどひょうていにおよぼすかおのいちぶをしゃへいすることのこうか

The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of shading parts of faces on the intensity ratings offacial expressions of emotion. The participants were 72 undergraduate students whose age ranged from18 to 31 years. The stimulus materials were photographs of faces showing six basic emotions (happiness,sadness, surprise, disgust, anger, fear) and copies of photographs in which the upper or lower parts ofthese faces were shaded. The models in the photographs were 6 Japanese men and 6 Japanese women.The participants\u27 task was to rate intensities for each photograph using a seven-point scale in terms ofthe six basic emotions. The mean ratings of happiness were significantly higher than ratings of all otheremotions when presented with the whole face (6.31), the upper parts (5.11), or the lower parts (6.28) infacial expression of happiness. The mean ratings of sadness were significantly higher than ratings of allother emotions when presented with the whole face (5.67), the upper parts (5.10), or the lower parts (4.51)in facial expression of sadness. The mean ratings of surprise were significantly higher than ratings of allother emotions when presented with the whole face (6.19), the upper parts (5.35), or the lower parts (5.26)in facial expression of surprise. The mean ratings of disgust (fear) were not significantly higher thanratings of all other emotions when presented with the whole face, the upper parts, or the lower parts infacial expression of disgust (fear). The mean ratings of anger were significantly higher than ratings of allother emotions when presented with the whole face or the upper parts in facial expression of anger. Themean ratings of anger were significantly lower than ratings of sadness when presented with the lowerparts in facial expression of anger. The results suggest that: 1) Facial expressions of happiness, sadness,and surprise are not confused with other facial expressions of emotions; 2) The stimuli which are ratedas disgust (fear) when presented with the whole face in facial expression of disgust (fear) must be used inthe future

表情の強度評定に及ぼす顔の一部を遮蔽することの効果

The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of shading parts of faces on the intensity ratings offacial expressions of emotion. The participants were 72 undergraduate students whose age ranged from18 to 31 years. The stimulus materials were photographs of faces showing six basic emotions (happiness,sadness, surprise, disgust, anger, fear) and copies of photographs in which the upper or lower parts ofthese faces were shaded. The models in the photographs were 6 Japanese men and 6 Japanese women.The participants\u27 task was to rate intensities for each photograph using a seven-point scale in terms ofthe six basic emotions. Whole face (6.31) and lower parts (6.24) were rated significantly more intense thanthe upper parts (5.11) in happiness photograph. Whole faces (5.67) were rated significantly more intensethan the upper parts (5.10), and the upper parts were rated significantly more intense than the lowerparts (4.51) in sadness photograph. Whole faces (6.19) were rated significantly more intense than theupper parts (5.35) and lower parts (5.26) in surprise photograph. Whole faces (3.85) and the upper parts(3.85) were rated significantly more intense than the lower parts (3.06) in disgust photograph. Whole faces(6.20) were rated significantly more intense than the upper parts (5.79), and the upper parts were ratedsignificantly more intense than the lower parts (3.19) in anger photograph. The differences in ratingintensities were not significant among whole faces (4.03), the upper parts (4.04), and the lower parts (3.74)in fear photograph. The results suggest that: 1) Happiness can be recognized by the lower parts; 2)Sadness, surprise, and anger can be recognized by both the upper and lower parts; 3) Disgust and fearcan’t be recognized even if whole faces were shown

地下鉄構内での地図読みに関する探索的研究

The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between performance on map reading in thesubway station yard and sense of direction. METHODS: The participants were 28 （16 males and 12females） undergraduate students, and they were divided into two groups （poor sense of direction groupand good sense of direction group） using the Sense of Direction Questionnaire-Short Form （Takeuchi,1992）. In the experiment, the participants were required to read a map at Minamimorimachi station, andto travel from a starting point to a goal. RESULTS: The proportion of arrival to a goal in the good sense ofdirection group was higher than it was in the poor sense of direction group. Additionally, the timerequired to read a map in the good sense of direction group was shorter than it was in the poor sense ofdirection group. However, there were no differences in the time required to travel to a goal and number oftimes the participants stopped on the way to a goal. CONCLUSIONS : The results suggest that, the abilityto read a map correctly and to travel from a starting point to a goal is affected by the individual’s sense ofdirection

Inhibitory activity of Kaki calyx extracts and their triterpene compounds on recombinant hepatitis C virus NS3/4A protease

柿蔕のヘキサン、メタノール、50 % アセトン抽出物の、組み替えhepatitis C virus (HCV)の NS3/4A 蛋白質分解酵素に対する阻害活性を検討した。50 % アセトン抽出物が最も阻害活性が強く、この抽出物をSephadex LH20カラムで分画を行なった。得た各画分のうち阻害活性の強かった70 %メタノール画分を、さらにシリカゲルカラム／薄層クロマトグラフィーで分画し、トリテルペンのベルリン酸、オレアノール酸、ウルソール酸を分離した。これらのトリテルペンはpolycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) HPLCH-NMRスペクトルで同定した。これらトリテルペンは柿蔕の50 %アセトン抽出物の主たる阻害物質と考えられる。We tested hexane, methanol and 50% aqueous acetone extracts of kaki calyx for their inhibitoryactivity on recombinant hepatitis C virus NS3/4A protease. The 50 % aqueous acetone extract had thehighest inhibitory activity, and was fractioned by Sephadex LH20 column chromatography. The 70 %methanol fraction of the column chromatography was further fractioned by silica gel column/thin layerchromatography, and triterpenes, betulinic acid, oleanolic acid, and ursolic acid, were isolated. They wereidentified by analyses using HPLC equipped with a polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) column and1H-NMR spectroscopy. The triterpenes were thought to be the main inhibitory compounds in the 50 %aqueous acetone extract of kaki calyx, but there may be inhibitory compounds other than thetriterpenes
