    Local functions of the brain can be complemented by other parts by training, even if they were lost by an accident such as external injury and internal bleeding. This is the dynamical redistribution of functions inside the brain. It can be regarded as a result of the Operating System (OS) function of the brain, on the analogy of computers. On the other hand, the passive consciousness hypothesis is known to be a powerful cognitive model in the sense that it figures out the difficult problems concerning consciousness such as the frame problem, binding problem, etc. Intrinsic problem of the model, however, lies in the dubious mechanism by which collective opinions are decided by majority vote in the unconscious system and are collected to the local conscious system in a bottom-up manner. No one has elucidated, so far, how the unconscious system and the conscious one are connected in the neural network. The Parasite Fermion Model is a physical model that solves those problems. The Model asserts that, only by assuming the multi-dimensional universe that is nowadays commonly discussed in the modern physics and two types of fermions (material particles), there exists the materialistic subject, called Parasite Fermion Object (PFO), in the extra-dimensional space. One can avoid above-mentioned difficulties, by assuming that the PFO plays a significant role in the OS function and decision process of the unconscious system

     在宅看護論の教育方法・内容に関する文献から,その変遷と現状を把握し,2009年から統合分野に位置づけられた在宅看護論の今後の改善点・解決方法への示唆を得ることを本研究の目的とする.医学中央雑誌WEB より「在宅看護」「学生」をキーワードとし,教育方法・内容・課題に言及している1997 年から2010 年の原著文献112件を対象とした.科目創設年(1997年)からしばらく文献は少なく,2005 から2010年の文献が8割を占めた.筆頭著者はほとんどが看護教育職であり,実習や学生の学びに関する文献が多くみられていた.統合分野における在宅看護論の教育に関する現状と改善方策としては以下の5 点が挙げられた.1.統合分野として教育上の科目役割を果たすためにも,在宅看護論担当教員をはじめとし,教育に携わる教員,実習指導者等を含めた教育体制の見直しが必要である.2.訪問看護ステーションを取り巻く環境が経済的にも人材的にも厳しいといわれているが,今後実習に関するさらなる協働を図っていく必要がある.また,他の実習施設や実習指導者も同様に協働を図る必要がある.3.限られた時間数の中で,効率よく学習をすすめる,知識を定着させるためには,体験型学習,小集団学習が有効である.しかし,グループ学習に対する教員自身のスキルアップは必須である.4.地域に暮らす人々の生活を理解する新たな工夫をする必要がある.5.在宅終末期看護をすべての学生が実習で体験できる状況にはない.しかし,今後在宅療養者の増加が予測され,在宅での医療的技術の提供や看取り,グリーフケアへの看護職のかかわりが増していく.そのような状況を鑑み,さらなる教育方法を模索していく必要がある. This study reviewed investigations conducted between 1997 to the present on the transition and status of education for homecare nursing, in attempts to obtain suggestions for the improvement of educational methods in this field. A search was made of the Japana Centra Revuo Medicina database, version 4, covering theperiod of 1997, when the subject was introduced in nursing, to 2010, using the search terms“homecare nursing” and “students”. Original articles referring to homecare nursing educationwere targeted and 112 publications were retrieved with both search terms. Publications were few in the early stage of homecare nursing education, from 1997 to 2004; 80% of articles were published from 2005 onwards when homecare nursing was recognized to be an advanced subject. Most of the first authors were nursing educators, and many publications concerned nursing practices and student learning. Problems identified in homecare nursing education through the literature review and suggested improvements are as follows. First, it is necessary to review the educational system not only with respect to educators in charge of homecare nursing education but also educators in all fields and practicum leaders. Second, it is necessary to improve cooperation between homecare nursing professionals, practicum leaders, and other health and welfare professionals in practice. Third, it is effective for students to have opportunities for experiential study and small group study, but it should not be forgotten that nurse educators also need skill improvement to facilitate group study. Fourth, a new evaluation tool is required to ascertain the needs of residents in each region. Lastly, while it is not possible for all students to experience home nursing practice in end-of-life care, it is important for some form of educational method to better address this practice, thereby requiring nurses to expand their role to offer medical treatment and provide grief care

    Nonstationary Casimir effect in cavities with two resonantly coupled modes

    Full text link
    We study the peculiarities of the nonstationary Casimir effect (creation of photons in cavities with moving boundaries) in the special case of two resonantly coupled modes with frequencies ω0\omega_0 and (3Δ)ω0(3\Delta)\omega_0, parametrically excited due to small amplitude oscillations of the ideal cavity wall at the frequency 2ω0(1δ)2\omega_0(1\delta) (with δ,Δ1|\delta|,|\Delta|\ll 1). The effects of thermally induced oscillations in time dependences of the mean numbers of created photons and the exchange of quantum purities between the modes are discovered. Squeezing and photon distributions in each modes are calculated for initial vacuum and thermal states. A possibility of compensation of detunings is shown.Comment: 17 pages, 5 ps figures, LaTex, accepted for publication in Physics Letters

    Metastatic Spinal Tumor

    In accordance with extending survival periods of cancer patients, number of consecutively developing metastatic spinal tumor is also increasing. There have been improvements in the treatment results of metastatic spine tumor by virtue of the developments in diagnostic radiology, chemotherapy, adjuvant treatment, operative device and technique, discrete preoperative plan, and standardized operation. Accordingly, surgical indication has also increased. Clinically, in case of metastatic spine tumor, treatment of tumor itself should be focused on pain relief, preservation of neurologic function, prevention of pathologic fracture, prevention of pathologic fracture, and correction of spinal instability for improving quality of life, rather than for extension of survival. Additionally, etiology of spinal tumor, correct diagnosis and subsequent treatment principles should be thoroughly understood before establishing treatment plans for effective treatments

    保育界では、現在のスタイルの紙芝居が成立した昭和初期から、紙芝居が保育に取り入れられていた。戦後は、紙芝居が学校教育から締め出されたことと対照的に、保育教材・教具として制度上に位置づけられ、現在に至っている。本論では、大道芸にはじまった紙芝居が、保育界に定着した背景に倉橋惣三の影響力があったと推測し、倉橋と「紙芝居」の関わりを検討した。その結果、倉橋が日本教育紙芝居協会の理事であった歴史的事実のほか、倉橋の紙芝居観3点が示された。1)倉橋は紙芝居に「少國民文化」が持つ普遍性をみていた。2)「軍事保護教育紙芝居懸賞募集」という形で戦争協力を行っていたが、そこで、子どもの内面表出手段としての紙芝居の有効性を評価していた。3)教具としての紙芝居の有効性を認め、学校教育に紙芝居を導入する上で、制度的位置づけの必要性を戦中から主張していた。また戦後、その実現に寄与していたことが確認された

    本稿では、2007年4月に公開した「紙芝居.ネット」の理念と概要について報告した。「紙芝居.ネット」は、日本独自の文化財であると同時に重要な保育教材でもある「紙芝居」の魅力と情報を発信し、紙芝居の魅力の発見と、教材・教具としての価値の再認識を促す事を目的とし、以下4点のコンセプトにそって制作された。1)「紙芝居」を通して子どもの文化を考える2)「紙芝居」というメディアを後世に残す3)「紙芝居」を通して共感の輪をつなぐ4)「紙芝居」というメディアを再構成する 公開後、マスコミ、保育・教育関係者、学術研究者を始め多方面からの反響を得る一方で、継続資金や運営基盤の整備などの課題も明確となっている。保育の現場のデジタル環境も進展しつつある中、伝統的な紙芝居を伝え残すこととあわせて、保育の本質にそうかたちで、現代に即した紙芝居のより良い活用を推進していくことが「紙芝居.ネット」のはたすべき役割だと考える
