The transcendental philosophy of Kant (1724-1804) has been considered to be one reliable justification for the classical mechanics established by Newton (1642-1727) in the 17th century. Such a viewpoint used to be accepted as common sense in learned circles. Kant was born in Königsberg and studied Newton's physics at the university of his birth place. Since that time he became devoted to the physics of Newton, and furthermore he even obtained the nick name“Newton in Königsberg”.In those days (1755) Kant anonymously published Allgemeine Naturgeschichte und Theorie des Himmels. At the beginning of this book, he said expressly that he had written it in accordance with the physical principles of Newton. Such a comment proved that he was a sincere Newtonian. Kant's earnest devotion to Newton, however, could not remain permanently, because in his old age Kant became unable to admit the term“natural philosophy, ”as used in the usual term Philosophiae naturalis principia mathematica, 1687. Using a few words in his Opus postumum Kant pointed out that Newton has fallen into the error of terminology (Kants Gesammelte Schriften, Akademie Ausgabe XXI, Opus postumum Erste Hälfte, 1936, pp. 190, 230, 510, etc.).According to Kant, using“natural philosophy”is nothing but a tautology or a contradiction. Therefore, natural philosophy must be corrected to natural “science”. Then, the concept of natural“philosophy”will disappear and the correct Principia in two different forms ought to take respectively the place of Newton's Principia as follows.X Philosophiae naturalis principia mathematica1 Scientiae naturalis principia philosophica2 Scientiae naturalis principia mathematicaHowever, was Newton's terminology of natural philosophy really erroneous? It was not necessarily the truth of the matter. The philosophy of Kant was transcendental. Accordingly philosophy should be neither defined nor qualified, although it could define all other things. From the viewpoint of transcendental philosophy it seemed to Kant that natural science must substitute for natural philosophy. Thus Kant separated philosophy from science here, and the concept of natural science came into existence. Such being the case I can not approve easily Kant's criticism of Newton's Principia. Moreover, the English had not yet the term“natural science”apart from natural philosophy. The term of natural science first appeared there in 1840. Nevertheless, Newton continued to be called“our philosopher”until later years.Since the era of ancient Greek civilization, the idea of philosophy viz. science had been a traditional expression of European thought. Kant, however, separated science from philosophy against the historical tradition in Europe. But all the pioneers of early modern science like Descartes, Kepler, Galileo, Pascal, etc. were always indeed, the philosophers. Needless to say, Newton certainly associated himself with them as well.After the separation between science and philosophy, science has unfortunately developed without philosophy and philosophy also has developed without science. But many of the results brought about expressly by scientific technology are not only undesirable, but also very confusing. An urgent question of today must be the realization of a newly constructive philosophy of science in a practical way.Philosophy without science is empty, Science without philosophy is blind.

In the field of atomic energy and radiation utilization, radiation risk is considered as one of the social uneasy factors. About the perception of risks, there is a gap between experts and general public (non-experts). It is said that the general public tends to be going to judge risk from intuitive fear and a visible concrete instance whereas the experts judge it scientifically. A company, an administration or experts should disclose relating information about the risks and communicate interactively with the stakeholders to find the way to solve the problem with thinking together. This process is called “risk communication”. The role of the expert is important on enforcement of risk communication. They should be required to explain the information on the risks with plain words to help stakeholders understand the risks properly. The Japan Health Physics Society (JHPS) is the largest academic society for radiation protection professionals in Japan, and one of its missions is supposed to convey accurate and trustworthy information about the radiation risk to the general public. The expert group on risk communication of ionizing radiation of the JHPS has worked for the purpose of summarizing the fundamental matters on radiation risk communication. “Lecture on risk communication for the members of the JHPS.” which has been up on the JHPS web-site, and the symposium of “For better understanding of radiation risk.” are a part of the activities. The expert group proposes that the JHPS should enlighten the members continuously for being interested in and practicing risk communication of radiation.

本研究では、城下町絵図や居住者である侍・町人の歴史資料をもとに、近世城下町のGIS図を作成し、城下町の土地利用や居住者の変化を分析した。研究対象としたのは米沢、水戸、新発田、徳島、松江、佐賀など日本の約10ヵ所の城下町である。その結果、侍屋敷や町屋地区の居住者を個別に確定し地図化することで、居住者の異動や土地利用の変化を把握することが可能となった。その点で、GISを用いた本研究は城下町研究に新たな研究手法を提示することができた。

本研究では、労働力移動には通常の農村-都市間移動の外に、山地などフロンティア向けの移動が大規模に存在し、それが森林資源などの環境後退につながっているとの仮説に立ち、その実態の把握とそこでの住民の生存戦略の確認に努めてきた。その結果、以下に列挙するような事実が確認された。1.フィリピンの森林面積は、ここ20〜30年の間に急激に後退したが、その跡地ではすでに夥しい数の住民が生活していること。2.これら住民の多くは、かつて低地に住んでいたということであるから、低地農村から山地向けの労働力移動はかなり広範に存在するとみて間違いないこと。3.こうした住民の多くは、伐採跡地で生存のための焼畑農業を始めるが、やがて商品作物が入ってきて集約栽培が繰り返されたため森林の回復はなく、むしろ草地の拡大が進行していること。4.森林の後退は、一般には人口圧力、労働力移動、入植などの必然的結果と考えられてきたが、原因はむしろ政府の農業入植政策、森林開発政策、累積債務返済のための商業伐採の促進、伐採権の積極的付与と伐採企業による公有地の囲い込み、林道建設、伐採のための労働力吸収などが大勢の住民の山地移住を促進していること。5.低地住民をして山地移住を決意させたのは、近代的所有権制度による伝統的所有権剥奪、地主による小作人追放、「緑の革命」後の農業商業化の進展、工業団地建設のための農地転用などであった。

A glomerulonephritis was induced in mice by injection of subnephrotoxic dose of nephrotoxic serum (NTS) after preimmunization with rabbit IgG. In order to characterize this glomerulonephritis, light, electron and immunofluorescence microscopic studies were carried out 15 days after NTS injection, the time when increases in urinary protein and serum cholesterol and a decrease in serum albumin were apparent.<BR>Characteristic changes were widespread thickening of capillary walls and narrowing of the capillary lumen owing to widening of mesangial areas. In those capillary walls, the mesangial interposition into subendothelial areas was often noted ultrastructurally and double track was confirmed on sections stained with PAM. Linear deposition of mouse IgG was detected in capillary walls by immunofluorescence. In severely affected glomeruli, PAS-positive hyaline nodular lesion was observed light microscopically and massive mesangial deposits ultrastructurally.<BR>Visceral epithelial cells demonstrated fusion of the foot processes, microvilli formation, occasional proliferation and enlargement. Parietal epithelial cells proliferated, forming cellular or fibrocellular crescent.<BR>Based on these characteristics, it appears this nephritic model shares a common pathology with human membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis type 1 and crescentic glomerulonephritis and can be considered an appropriate model for producing severe nephritis for short periods.
