タイ北部山岳民族の日常生活意識における民族間の比較

The purpose of this study is to compare the daily living consciousness among three different hill tribes （Lahi Nyi，Lo Mi Akha and Mlabri）living in northern Thailand. The subjects were asked to answer questions by interview from December 2006 to January 2007 and the results obtained were statistically analyzed using SPSS. With respect to“pleasure in daily life”，most of people answered“chat”and/or“TV”besides people between 10 and 19 years old，“sports”，while adults，“travel”or“festival”. Forty-one to 71% of people between 10 and 19 years old answered to obtain daily information from school. Most subjects in three tribes worked“for the family”. However，in females of Mlabri，people between 10 and 19 years old （about 33%）answered“happy to be able to work”and over 40’s（40%）did“natural obligation”. The subjects mostly considered that traditions supported people’s lives and majority of them answered“yes”on psychological factors. They seemed to satisfy themselves or the relationship to other people when they felt less stress or slept well. Mlabri seemed to have different daily living consciousness and views on psychological factors from other two tribes. This might be related to their living style which they worked as laborers in the fields of other tribes and earned some money. The results also indicated that there were some differences be fields of other tribes and earned some money. The results also indicated that there were some differences be tween people between 10 and 19 years old and adults as well as those among three tribes. The traditional life style and probably daily living consciousness and views on psychological factors of people between 10 and 19 years old will change gradually by their growing up to obtain liberal education and a lot of information from mass-media and so on

磁石を使った体験型出前セミナーについて

The authors report how experimental-type lectures for the local community are carried out in Gunma National College of Technology. While ordinary lectures for the local community have been held since 2002, we started the experimental-type lectures in 2004. In this paper, experimental-type lectures using magnets for elementary schoolchildren are reported. A so-called neodymium magnet, which is one of rare-earth magnets, is the strongest one among permanent magnets. With the neodymium magnet, mysterious experiments can be held. Moreover, the scientific event “2011 science square” in National Museum of Nature and Science has been reported

穀物乾燥調製・貯蔵施設における玄米ベイトトラップによる貯穀害虫およびその天敵相の調査

Stored-product insect pests and their natural enemies were investigated by traps baited with brown rice in 5 grain drying and conditioning facilities and 2 low temperature grain warehouses located in the southwestern part of Ibaraki, Japan. Trapping periods were July 4 - August 9 and August 9 - September 6 in 2012. Ten coleopteran and 3 lepidopteran species of storedproduct insect pests were collected by bait traps. Many individuals of Anisopteromalus calandrae (Howard) and Lariophagus distinguendus (Förster), which are parasitic wasps attacking larvae of the maize weevil Sitophilus zeamais Motschulsky, were emerged from brown rice used for bait traps. At least one species of these two wasps was collected at all of the survey sites. Although adults of the Indian meal moth Plodia interpunctella (Hübner) were found by visual observation at these survey sites, this moth was rarely collected by bait traps, and no parasitoid of this species was collected.茨城県南西部の米穀生産地帯に立地する 5箇所の穀類乾燥調製施設と 2箇所の穀物貯蔵低温倉庫に玄米をベイトとしたトラップを設置し, 貯穀害虫とその天敵相を調査した. 設置した期間は2012年7月4日～8月9日と2012年8月9日～9月6日であった. ベイトトラップにより, コウチュウ目10種, チョウ目 3種の貯穀害虫が採集された. コクゾウムシの幼虫の寄生蜂であるゾウムシコガネコバチ, コクゾウコバチが数多く採集され, 全ての調査地点で少なくともどちらかの寄生蜂が採集できた. ノシメマダラメイガの成虫はこういった施設において目視で観察されるにも関わらず, ベイトトラップではあまり採集できず, その寄生蜂も採集できなかった
