A Study of Hand Art Work and Artwork Gift

本研究の目的は、フォーカシング指向アートセラピーの手のワークを用いることによる気持ちの変化やアートとして描いたプレゼントをすることによる気持ちの変化を検討することである。不安や悩みを喚起させる教示を行い、手のワークを実施し、相手の不安や悩みのイメージに良さそうなイメージを描いてプレゼントをするといった手順で実験を行った。実験の間には抑うつ感を測る質問紙と不安を測る質問紙をそれぞれ4回実施し、その後すぐにペアでインタビューを行った。その結果、有意な抑うつ感及び不安の低下が認められ、同じように効果も認められた。インタビューで得られた感想と合わせて検討すると、プレゼントを受け取ることによって自分の不安や悩みを違った視点で見ることができるようになったことが一因だと考察された。また、プレゼントを作成する過程があることによって、自分の悩みと距離がとれたことが気持ちの変化に繋がった可能性も考察された。The objective of this study is to examine the change of feelings as a result of an exercise called "Hand Art Work" in Focusing-Oriented Art Therapy and by creating an artwork gift. The experimental procedure commenced by giving participants anxiety-inducing instructions. Then, Hand Art Work was carried out where participants drew art gifts that they thought would be anxiety reducing to another participant with whom they were paired. During this experimental procedure, 2 scales to measure anxiety and depression were administered 4 times, and participant pairs were interviewed soon after the artworks were completed. Statistical analysis of the 2 scales demonstrated significant reductions in both anxiety and depression. From the interview, it was considered that receiving presents enabled participants to view their own anxieties from a different perspective. Thus, this study concluded that both drawing about one\u27s own anxieties and giving an artwork gift to another resulted in positive change of feelings

Epenthetic vowels in Japanese: A perceptual illusion?

In four cross-linguistic experiments comparing French and Japanese hearers, we found that the phonotactic properties of Japanese (very reduced set of syllable types) induce Japanese listeners to perceive ``illusory'' vowels inside consonant clusters in VCCV stimuli. In Experiments 1 and 2, we used a continuum of stimuli ranging from no vowel (e.g. ebzo) to a full vowel between the consonants (e.g. ebuzo). Japanese, but not French participants, reported the presence of a vowel [u] between consonants, even in stimuli with no vowel. A speeded ABX discrimination paradigm was used in Experiments 3 and 4, and revealed that Japanese participants had trouble discriminating between VCCV and VCuCV stimuli. French participants, in contrast had problems discriminating items that differ in vowel length (ebuzo vs. ebuuzo), a distinctive contrast in Japanese but not in French. We conclude that models of speech perception have to be revised to account for phonotactically-based assimilations

The vector-valued big q-Jacobi transform

Big $q$-Jacobi functions are eigenfunctions of a second order $q$-difference operator $L$. We study $L$ as an unbounded self-adjoint operator on an $L^2$-space of functions on $\mathbb R$ with a discrete measure. We describe explicitly the spectral decomposition of $L$ using an integral transform $\mathcal F$ with two different big $q$-Jacobi functions as a kernel, and we construct the inverse of $\mathcal F$.Comment: 35 pages, corrected an error and typo

FIRST FORMATION OF THIEPINO[2,3-b]- AND THIEPINO[3,2-a]-INDOLIZINE DERIVATIVES

The reactions of potassium 1,3-bis(ethoxycarbonyl)indolizine-2-thiolates with ethyl 4-bromocrotonate afforded the corresponding indolizine derivatives having (E)-(3-ethoxycarbonyl-2-propenyl)thio, (E)- and (Z)-(3-ethoxycarbonyl-1-propenyl)thio group at the 2-position. The alkaline treatment of these S-alkylated indolizines gave the title compounds in good yields.ArticleHETEROCYCLES. 78(2): 319-324 (2009)journal articl

The Bamford-Stevens reactions of 1-[N-(phenylsulfonyl)benzohydrazonoyl]-1,2,3-triazole derivatives, readily available from the 1,3-dipolar cycloadditions of N-(phenylsulfonyl)benzohydrazonoyl azides with enamines, were examined and the transformation from aryl(1,2,3-triazol-1 -yl)carbene intermediates to the corresponding 3-aryl-1,2,4-triazine derivatives was first observed.ArticleHETEROCYCLES. 65(2): 279-286 (2005).journal articl
