ダイガク ビョウイン デノ インフルエンザ ニ ヨル アウトブレイク ノ ケイケン

An outbreak of influenza(type A) occurred in a ward at a university hospital in February 2013. A total of 17people (5 patients and 12 staffs) suffered and it took 8 days from the recognition to the end of the outbreak. We implementedprecautions for droplet infection including the wearing of surgical masks, restriction on working of the suffering staffs, andisolation of the suffering patients. We also restricted the admission to the ward and the acceptance of patients on EmergencyDivision for 7 days. We speculated that the reason for the early termination of the outbreak, even in the endemic season oninfluenza, was the implementation of the aggressive detection of symptomatic individuals using virus-detection kits, thethorough precautions including the restriction on working, isolation, and ward closure

Five Japanese universities (Doshisha University, Hokkaido University, Osaka Prefecture University, Konan University and Kwansei Gakuin University) worked together in the 2009- 2011 Freshman and Senior Survey for quality assurance and enhancement of college teaching and learning.

Comparative analysis of the 2011 Freshman and Senior Survey focusing on Hokkaido University showed: 1) that general education was good with rich first-year experiences, 2) the credit cap system and encouragement of self-study were working well, 3) the impact of the comprehensive admissions and new general education program, 4) the benefits of general education at a multidisciplinary university, and 5) that the satisfaction, sense of fulfillment and adaptation to university learning were higher among women. In addition, improvement of the career education program is necessary. The Freshman and Senior Survey will be continued for five more years by eight universities with the support of a new MEXT Grant-in-Aid.

Practical use of Database System of Technical Term Represented by Sign Language through the Internet

本学では、平成２年度から平成７年度にかけて専門用語手話動画像を作成した。この動画像はビデオテープに記録され利用してきた。これらの情報をコンピュータに取り込み、手話映像を単語単位のファイルに分け、画像圧縮を加えた。また、手話動画像ファイルをインターネットを介して利用するために、動画像配信用のWebサーバーを構築し、手話単語が検索可能なホームページの作成を行った。インターネットによる動画像配信は時間・場所にとらわれない利用形態であるため、好きな時間帯・好きな場所で気軽に利用出来るという利点がある。このようなことからも、インターネットによる動画像配信は、本学の重要な資源である専門用語手話動画像をより有効に活用できる一形態となるであろう
