The temporal structure of oceanic motion off the Oregon coast, northeastern Pacific, 1969
Current measurements collected from an array of moored buoy stations off the coast of Oregon from April through November 1969 have been used to study the spatial and temporal structure of oceanic currents over the continental slope in the northeastern part of the Pacific...
Mental and physical effects of the 2011 Great East Japan Earthquake on School Children, and Health Support initiatives by YogoTeachers: Findings from a survey of high school yogo teachers 5 years after the disaster
Objective: To clarify the current mental and physical state of students 5 years after experiencing the Great East Japan earthquake, tsunami, and nuclear accident, and to shed light on the practical initiatives and issues faced by yogo teachers in supporting students’ health.
Method: In May 2016, we conducted a mail-based questionnaire of yogo teachers at 15 prefectural high schools in Soma District and Futaba District (collectively, “Soso”) in Fukushima Prefecture, one of the areas most heavily affected by the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant accident. The questionnaire focused on (1) health and school life of students; and (2) current initiatives and issues faced by yogo teachers in supporting student health.
Results: We received responses from 8 of the 15 high school yogo teachers surveyed (response rate: 53.3%).Six yogo teachers (75%) responded that the “students are calm.” However, 6 yogo teachers (75%) recognized a tendency among students towards weight gain and obesity, as well as reduced physical stamina and sporting ability, while 4 yogo teachers (50%) indicated that some students were anxious about their future and career path, and were receiving personal support from the school counselor. The yogo teachers provided support to students while attempting to ascertain their mental and physical well-being through greater health monitoring and questionnaires, and while coordinating with the school physician and counselor.
Conclusion: Five years after the earthquake, high school students in the Soso district are now leading a more relaxed school life, but still feel anxious about their future health and career path due to lingering concerns about radiation, highlighting the need for long-term support by yogo teachers
Health Support Provided by Yogo Teachers for Adolescent Female Students with a Thin Body Type
Purpose: To clarify the realities and challenges involved in health support provided by yogo teachers to adolescent
girls who have a thin body type.
Methods: A semi-structured interview survey was conducted with yogo teachers at a Japanese high school
with experience of providing health support to thin adolescent female students and the results of the survey
were subjected to qualitative analysis.
Results: With regard to health support provided by yogo teachers, the results of analysis found that the actual
situation consisted of the five categories of 【sharing information throughout the school organization to
investigate methods of support】,【 realizing studentsʼ situations through the provision of individual support】,
【referring students and parents to specialist agencies】,【investigating collaborations with parents with students
ʼ consent】, and 【carrying out prevention and awareness-raising activities about thin physiques】.
However, the analysis also found that the practical challenges for providing such health support consisted of
the six categories of 【working with parents to liaise with medical institutions】,【continuous support in collaboration
with specialist agencies】,【 educational health support that enables all students to manage their
own health】,【 yogo teachersʼ professional knowledge and assessment of eating disorders】,【 support methods
that students can engage with on their own initiative, according to their situation】, and 【creating a counseling-
friendly environment to facilitate early detection】.Discussion: While yogo teachers had an overall grasp of studentsʼ situations through their organizational
engagements in cooperation with faculty and school physicians, as well as individual support activities, it
was clear that they faced difficulties and challenges in relation to working together with parents and specialist
agencies. In the future, improving collaboration with parents will require that they, too, be encouraged
to recognize that being excessively thin represents a health problem for adolescent female students. In
addition, it will also be necessary to work towards building daily collaboration systems, such as by having
yogo teachers keep track of potential partner medical institutions as a matter of routine. It was further suggested
that yogo teachers will need to provide educational and preventive health support oriented toward
helping female students acquire the ability to manage their own health
Commande des systèmes de production non fiables avec contrôle de la qualité
Le présent mémoire traite d’un problème de commande optimale stochastique d’un système de production non fiable avec contrôle de la qualité des produits. Le système est constitué d’une seule machine produisant un seul type de produit (M1P1) sujet à des pannes et réparations aléatoires et doit satisfaire une demande client à taux constant. La machine produit avec un taux de produits non conformes, afin de réduire la quantité de mauvaises pièces qui se rendraient chez le client, une inspection des produits est faite. Elle se fait en continu et consiste à contrôler une partie ou fraction de la production. Les bons produits sont remis sur la ligne de production, tandis que les mauvais produits sont mis au rebut.
L’objectif de ce travail est de proposer une politique optimale de production qui permettra de minimiser le coût total constitué du coût de mise en inventaire, du coût de pénurie, du coût d’inspection, du coût de rebus et du coût des pièces non conformes retournées par le client. Les variables de décision sont le taux de production du système ainsi que la fraction de la production à contrôler. La variable d’état est le niveau d’inventaire des produits finis.
Nous avons élaboré un modèle de commande optimale stochastique du problème posé en utilisant les chaînes de Markov homogènes pour décrire le système (dynamique de la machine). En appliquant la théorie de la commande basée sur la programmation dynamique, nous avons développé des conditions d’optimum qui était de type Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman (HJB). Par une approche de résolution numérique de ces équations (Kushner et Dupuis, 1992), nous avons obtenu une politique optimale à seuil critique. Une approche par simulation combinée aux plans d’expériences et la méthodologie de surface de réponse nous a permis d’obtenir les valeurs optimales des paramètres de la politique qui minimise le coût total de production.
À partir du modèle de simulation, nous avons traité plusieurs scénarios afin d’apporter de la variabilité à notre système. Tout d’abord, nous avons introduit une contrainte sur qualité moyenne après contrôle (AOQ) afin de pouvoir contrôler la quantité de produits non conformes qui se retrouverait chez le client. Cela a permis d’établir une équation qui permet de determiner la fraction à contrôler en fonction du niveau de qualité souhaité. Ensuite, nous avons considéré une probabilité d’erreur lors du contrôle de la qualité des produits, permettant ainsi de déterminer dans ce cas-là, les paramètres de la politique de production en fonction de la probabilité. Enfin, nous avons traité le cas d’un système de production où le taux de rejet varie avec l’âge de la machine. Une approche de résolution numérique de ce système nous a permis d’obtenir une politique de production optimale à seuil critique et une politique de maintenance préventive. Une approche par simulation combinée aux plans d’expériences et la méthodologie de surface de réponse a permis d’obtenir les seuils critiques et les fractions à contrôler pour chaque période où le taux de rejet reste constant. Nous avons montré pour tous les cas traits que la politique de production dépend du niveau d’inventaire, une analyse de sensibilité a permis de valider ces résultats
Identity of subject content composition in physical education
本稿の目的は,体育科の教科内容構成の固有性とは何か,という問いに対する回答を提示し,体育科の教科内容構成における基本的な教材研究及び教材開発の方法論を示していくことである。そのために,まず体育科の内容・指導の4つの特殊性を概観した上で,各特殊性について検討し,教科内容構成の他教科に対する固有性を構造的に捉えた。 議論の結果,体育科における教科内容構成は,以下の固有性を有していることが明らかになった。①運動内容と学習内容を別に認識する必要がある,②からだとこころの一体化と解放を中核的な認識原理として持っている必要がある,③子どもの心身の発達が,学習方法・指導方法だけでなく,運動内容・学習内容も決定づける,④教科内容構成に際して,スポーツ科学諸領域の知見が必要になる

とが必要である.With the aim of determining appropriate ways for elementary school yogo teachers to respond to child abuse, this study
examined school organizational systems for child abuse with regard to their influence on how yogo teachers suspect and
identify cases of child abuse and collaborate with external parties or organizations. Self-report questionnaires on school
organizational system for child abuse and collaboration with external parties were distributed to every yogo teacher in all 344
elementary schools in Prefecture A. Questionnaires were collected from 146 yogo teachers (response rate 42.2%). Findings
suggested that the existence of a school organizational system to handle child abuse was related to early detection of child
abuse. The reason for not collaborating with external parties even when child abuse was suspected or identified was that the
teachers either did not feel certain the abuse was happening or were concerned about the outcome of consulting or reporting the
situation to external parties. This suggests yogo teachers lack of knowledge and information about the external parties involved
in handling child abuse. To prevent delay in detecting abuse, future studies should explore factors related to difficulties in
establishing necessary organizational systems, and examine how each discipline and involved party can better understand each
other's roles and specifically how they can effectively collaborate with each other

day care centers, clarify the relationship between their work responsibilities and style of work allocation at these centers,
and discuss the issues relating to the work allocation of nurses at these centers for the future. Research was carried out with
41 nurses who participated in a workshop run by the childcare council in Prefecture A, out of a total of 71 nurses working in
day care centers in the prefecture. The nurses responded to a questionnaire created by the authors. The 30 questionnaire items
concerning the allocation of healthcare activities in the day care centers were divided into three aspects: support for children,
support for families, and cooperation with various professionals and related agencies. Differences in the three aspects were
compared between nurses responsible for particular classes and nurses not tied to responsibilities for particular classes. The
results revealed that mean scores were higher for the nurses not tied to responsibilities of particular classes in all three aspects
examined. This indicates that in order for nurses at day care centers to make best use of their specialized skills and knowledge,
and carry out child healthcare activities, the styles of work allocation must be improved
Changes of behavior and consciousness in COVID-19
新型コロナウイルスの感染症の拡大と長期化に伴い,世の中はパンデミック状態にある一方でテレワークの普及によって,個人生活にとってはメリットもあると考えられる.そこで現在の行動やコミュニケーション等の意識の変化,さらにフレイルなど健康面の課題について①生活,行動と意識に関するアンケート,②通勤,勤務と行動と意識に関するアンケート2種類のWeb調査により実態を明らかにした.その結果,未知のウイルスに対する脅威感から,人々の意識やライフスタイルも大きく変容していて,在宅時間の増加によりメリットもある一方で,時間の使い方は自己への投資などには回っておらず,健康面では不安を抱えていることが明らかになり,フレイル等により健康寿命の短縮が危惧されるなど,新たな日常スタイルに向けての課題があることが明らかになった.With the spread and prolongation of the new coronavirus infection, the world is in a pandemic state, but the spread of telework is thought to have benefits for personal life. Therefore, awareness of current behavior and communication, etc. Regarding changes and health issues such as frailty, (1) questionnaires on life, behavior and consciousness, and (2) questionnaires on commuting work and behavior and consciousness, the actual situation was clarified by two types of Web surveys. As a result, people's consciousness and lifestyle have changed significantly due to the threat of unknown viruses, and while there are benefits to increasing the time spent at home, spending time is not used for self-investment. However, it became clear that he was worried about his health, and that there were issues for a new daily style, such as fear of shortening healthy life expectancy due to frailty syndrome
