<Reports on the Sixteenth annual Meeting of the Tsukuba English Linguisic Society> Downstep in Japanese : Syntatic vs. Semantic Approach

It has been argued that the effect of downstep differently appears depending on the syntactic structure (Kubozono 1989, 1992 and Azuma 1992a, 1992b) or on the semantic information (Koori 1992a, 1992b) ..

The world connected in English : Application of “Large Grammar” and an international exchange program as a field for practice

これまでの中学校英語教育ではインプット活動に重きが置かれ，効果的なアウトプット活動の実践を検証する機会が少なかった。本研究では著者の一人，足立の提唱するLarge Grammar を用いたアウトプット活動トレーニングと英国ニューステッドウッドスクールとの交流を通したアウトプット活動の実践について検証するとともに，生徒のコミュニケーション能力の向上について，特に「書くこと」と「話すこと」についての効果的なアウトプット活動について考察する。 / In the past, English teaching in junior high schools emphasized input and there were few opportunities to implement output activities. In this research, we examined a practice of output activities, first, through Large Grammar activity training advocated by one of us, Kazumi Adachi, and second, through an exchange program between Newstead Wood School in the UK and Tottori University Junior High School. We also examined improvement of students' communication skills including writing and speaking through these output activities

Junior high school output activities based on the "Large Grammar" method : Using English as a communication tool.

英語科では， 学習した英語を用いて実際にコミュニケーションが行えることを目標として日常的にアウトプット活動を実践している。具体的な活動の一つとしては， 共同研究者である鳥取大学地域学部の足立和美が提唱するLarge Grammar の手法による活動を用いて即興でのアウトプットの場面を各学年の授業に取り入れている。本研究では， その理論と各学年での活動事例を紹介する。生徒一人ひとりが課題に向かって「主体的に」「対話的に」「深く」考え，英語で他者と繋がっていくためには， どのような活動が考えられるだろうか。「個」の学びを深めるために， 各学年で行ってきたやりくりを紹介する。 / At Tottori University junior high school we practice output activities on a daily basis in our English classes with the aim of enhancing students’ ability to communicate in English. These activities, using the Large Grammar method proposed by one of the authors, Kazumi Adachi, rely on improvised output. In this paper, we introduce the theory of Large Grammar, then give examples of activities used in each grade. We are aiming for activities that encourage students to think "voluntarily", "interactively" and "deeply" about the task. We also want them to connect with others in English. We will introduce the attempts that we have made in each grade to deepen students individual learning

In recent years, the oral environments of disabled people are well maintained by dental specialists for the disabled; however, because serious conditions requiring dental therapy do occur in disabled patients, we created a referral system for multidisciplinary dentistry for the disabled. In this report, we describe the successful implementation of this referral system and the treatment outcomes of disabled patients who underwent therapy by dental specialists. The patients were 12 disabled people, comprising 9 males and 3 females, who had been undergoing dental treatment in Tokushima Red Cross Hinomine Rehabilitation Center for People with Disabilities and had visited Tokushima University Hospital between January 2010 and March 2013. Their ages ranged from 14 to 71 years old, with a mean of 32.5 years old. The most common types of disabilities were hypophrenia: 7 patients (58.3%); cerebral palsy: 4 patients (33.3%), autism: 3 patients (25.0%), malformation syndrome: 2 patients (16.7%), etc. were found. The most frequent complications were epilepsy: 5 patients (41.7%); cured patent ductus arteriosus, laryngomalacia, asthma, hypertension, and ventilatory impairment were found in 1 patient (8.3%). Regarding oral diseases, chronic periodontitis and dental caries: 11 cases (91.7%), impacted wisdom teeth and persistence of deciduous teeth: 2 cases (16.7%) and oral cancer: 1 case (8.3%), were found. Concerning treatment, tooth extraction: 11 cases (91.7%), crown restoration: 5 cases (41.7%), pulpectomy: 2 cases (16.7%) and tumor resection: 1 case (8.3%), were safely performed. The procedures were performed under intravenous sedation in 6 cases, and under general anesthesia in the other 6 cases. Our referral system may contribute to the development of low-risk dentistry for the disabled

紙上事例を用いた成人看護学看護過程演習の評価(第1報) : 看護過程演習前後における学生の自己評価

調査報告成人看護学の紙上事例を用いた看護過程演習における学生の理解の現状を把握することを目的に、本学3年次学生に対して、演習前後に自己評価調査を実施した。その結果、1.演習後、看護過程について自己評価得点の上昇がみられ、2.情報の解釈・分析・統合の中でも健康障害について学生が困難を感じる現状が明らかになった。看護過程の理解を進めるためには、学生の理解状況に合わせた指導を今後とも継続していく必要がある

紙上事例を用いた成人看護学看護過程演習の評価(第2報) : 実技演習との関係からみた看護計画記録の分析

調査報告成人看護学看護過程演習に実技演習を取り入れることが、学生の学習に影響を及ぼしているかどうかを知るために、学生がグループで立案した看護計画および学生の反応を検討した。結果として、実技演習後に看護計画立案を行ったグループはそうでないグループに比べ、痛みに対する観察に着目していた。看護計画の立案と実技演習のどちらを先に行いたいかの質問には有意差を認めなかった。自由記載から看護過程に実技演習を取り入れることは患者をイメージしやすく効果的だと考えられた

Post-intervention Status in Patients With Refractory Myasthenia Gravis Treated With Eculizumab During REGAIN and Its Open-Label Extension

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate whether eculizumab helps patients with anti-acetylcholine receptor-positive (AChR+) refractory generalized myasthenia gravis (gMG) achieve the Myasthenia Gravis Foundation of America (MGFA) post-intervention status of minimal manifestations (MM), we assessed patients' status throughout REGAIN (Safety and Efficacy of Eculizumab in AChR+ Refractory Generalized Myasthenia Gravis) and its open-label extension. METHODS: Patients who completed the REGAIN randomized controlled trial and continued into the open-label extension were included in this tertiary endpoint analysis. Patients were assessed for the MGFA post-intervention status of improved, unchanged, worse, MM, and pharmacologic remission at defined time points during REGAIN and through week 130 of the open-label study. RESULTS: A total of 117 patients completed REGAIN and continued into the open-label study (eculizumab/eculizumab: 56; placebo/eculizumab: 61). At week 26 of REGAIN, more eculizumab-treated patients than placebo-treated patients achieved a status of improved (60.7% vs 41.7%) or MM (25.0% vs 13.3%; common OR: 2.3; 95% CI: 1.1-4.5). After 130 weeks of eculizumab treatment, 88.0% of patients achieved improved status and 57.3% of patients achieved MM status. The safety profile of eculizumab was consistent with its known profile and no new safety signals were detected. CONCLUSION: Eculizumab led to rapid and sustained achievement of MM in patients with AChR+ refractory gMG. These findings support the use of eculizumab in this previously difficult-to-treat patient population. CLINICALTRIALSGOV IDENTIFIER: REGAIN, NCT01997229; REGAIN open-label extension, NCT02301624. CLASSIFICATION OF EVIDENCE: This study provides Class II evidence that, after 26 weeks of eculizumab treatment, 25.0% of adults with AChR+ refractory gMG achieved MM, compared with 13.3% who received placebo

Minimal Symptom Expression' in Patients With Acetylcholine Receptor Antibody-Positive Refractory Generalized Myasthenia Gravis Treated With Eculizumab

The efficacy and tolerability of eculizumab were assessed in REGAIN, a 26-week, phase 3, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study in anti-acetylcholine receptor antibody-positive (AChR+) refractory generalized myasthenia gravis (gMG), and its open-label extension
