"Spy" is a person whose job involves secretly gathering and reporting information about another country, organization, group, or enemies without the consent of the information-holders. Espionage is a set of clandestine and constitutional activities carried out for government or commercial purposes. Yet, as a matter of course, spying is illegal and is punishable by law. Thus, espionage is almost always accompanied by danger; it is unavoidable that some risks will be run in this kind of work. In a word, spying is a mission that may jeopardize one's life. The duties of a spy are required most in wartime. During the 20th century, when many wars occurred, there was much demand for spying and espionage: the governments of many countries needed able spies, especially for military purposes.In the film world, spy films have always been quite popular because of their entertaining qualities: they contain thrilling action, suspense, and the seduction of beautiful women. Among countless spy films, the most popular is the 007 series, which premiered in 1964. 007 focuses on a British gentleman spy called James Bond. Although it is difficult to find female spy movies that can rank with the 007 series, the classic Mata Hari might just be a match for 007. It is said that beauty and charm are the merits of the female spy, while the man she seeks is at the center of power and holds confidential information. Through the so-called "honey trap"—the use of a seductive woman to tempt a man into passing highly classified information to her government or syndicate—female spies play an active role in the 1930s film world. Among several 1930s female spy films, this paper focuses on Dishonored and Mata Hari. I will examine the universal themes that these two movies encompass: the anxiety of excessive information management; concealment through the power of the government; and the importance of personal dignity, rights, and happiness.

1993~2002年の10年間に新潟大学医学部附属病院皮膚科で組織学的に扁平苔癬と診断し,経過を観察した症例のうち,薬剤性を除く78症例を集計した.合併疾患,C型肝炎ウイルスとの関連,金属試薬貼布試験結果や歯科金属除去の有効性を検討した.抗HCV抗体陽性率は15.4%(78例中12例)で高い傾向がみられた.口腔内病変を有する症例は64例であった.そのうち,貼布試験を施行した症例は40例で,何らかの金属試薬に陽性を示した症例は55.0%(40例中22例),さらに,歯科修復物に陽性金属含有が確認された症例数は15例,歯科金属除去有効率は77.8%(9例中7例)であった.その他,粘膜疹に接している部位の金属修復物を除去した後に粘膜疹が改善した症例が6例あり,歯科金属が非アレルギーの機序で関与する可能性も考えられた.以上より,扁平苔癬の原因ないし増悪因子として,歯科金属による接触アレルギーないし局所刺激性が重要と考えた.

A touch of the poet is one of the striking tragicomedies of Eugene O'Neill. Through A touch of the poet, O'Neill proves that he can not only write good tragedy but also excellent drama, which comically tasteful.The setting of A touch of the poet is from the morning till midnight of 27 July, 1828, in a forlorn tavern in the suburbs of Boston. Middle-aged Cornelius Melody is an immigrant from Ireland where he believes to have been a "gentleman". Although Melody is now degraded to a drunken owner of the dirty, cheap tavern, and actually supported by his hardworking wife and daughter, he refuses to realize his true self and narcissistically praises his manly, handsome self-image refl ected in the mirror. However, Melody's illusion of "being a gentleman" is shattered by the severe antagonism of the rich Harfords, of which his beautiful daughter, Sara, is going to be a member. Sara falls in love with Simon Harford, who is an heir to the rich Harford family."The uncanny" in Melody is "the repetition of the same thing", his recurrent illusion or self-deception of being a "gentleman". "Being a gentleman" is not uncanny, but what is uncanny is the difference between his present state as a shabby drunkard and his illusory past as a glorious, gallant gentleman. What is uncanny is elody's obsession with the past and his present state of being obsessed by the illusion of "being a gentleman".When the symbol of Melody's glorious past and male vanity, the beautiful English military uniform, is torn by Harford's subordinate men, Melody ultimately realizes that he was possessed of the past glory, void pride and illusion. Melody painfully learns that even in the U.S.A., a man without money or social status is not respected as a "gentleman". Deprived of all his pride, Melody is forced to recognize his poor social and financial status; however, instead of abandoning his aristocratic bravado, Melody is freed from the affectation of aristocracy and heroism and reveals his true self, that is, his easy bum nature. Despite Melody's sudden transformation incharacter, his faithful wife, Nora, proudly says, "I'll play any game he likes and give him love in it. Haven't I always? (She smiles.) Sure, I have no pride at all—except that". Eugene O'Neill depicts the foolishly old-fashioned dreamer, Cornelius Melody, with irony, humor and pathos.
