Dix-sept reformes de l'orthographe franciase ont ete procedees entre 1650 et 1835. Cette renovation orthographique a purifie la langue francaise de l'epoque des debris du latin. Grace a elle, les bases du francais moderne ont ete batis par degres. A trevers des divers evenements importants, comme l'ordonnance de Villers-Cotterets, l'invention de l'impression typographique, la fondation de l'Academie francaise et l'enseignement public a titre gratuit, la langue francaise s'est repandue graduellement dans toutes les couches sociales de la France comme une seule langue commune et officielle. Notre but dans cet article est parcourir cette evolution et montrer comment l'orthographe francaise a ete modernisee.

Nankichi Niimi's literary masterpiece, Gongitsune, serves as standard educational material for teaching Japanese in many Japanese primary schools. The protagonist is a little fox named Gon who lives on the outskirts of a village and plays pranks on the villagers. One day Gon releases fish from a net set by Hyoju, a villager, and steals Hyoju's, eels. After Hyoju's mother passes away, Gon realizes Hyoju caught the eels for his ailing mother and regrets stealing the eels. He then returns under cover to Hyoju's house with chestnuts and mushrooms in order to atone for his misdeed. When Gon sneaks into Hyoju's house, Hyoju misunderstands Gon's intent and shoots him. Finding the chestnutssoon after, Hyoju realizes Gon's gifts were for him. The narrative closes with Hyoju exclaiming "Gon, was it you who always brought chestnuts for me?" Some readers think that Hyoju understands Gon's intention of compensation for depriving Hyoju's mother of the eels. Read properly, Hyoju clearly does not understand Gon's intention and feelings and the misunderstanding occurs. Tatsuki & Fushimi (2003, 2004) conducted three experiments to reconfirm the erroneous interpretation of university students and attempt to correct the misinterpretation. Results suggested, however, that the subject's erroneous interpretation of Gongitsune did not improve and was not corrected. The purpose of this study was to attempt again to correct the misinterpretation, and the authors conducted three experiments. In Experiments 1, the student subjects presented and discussed their opinions. In Experiment 2, the authors explained that Hyoju's perspective differed from that of Gon. In Experiment 3, the investigators interviewed the subjects in a semi-structured method. The results suggested that the subjects still thought that Hyoju understood Gon's compensatory intention. The subjects' erroneous interpretation of Gongitsune did not improve and was not corrected. The authors determined the subjects' misreading of the text was result of reader's intuitive, sentimental reading and confusing the facts with their inferences.

As stock valuation methods became diverse and multiple, cases of disputes in court increased. This paper aims to deepen the valuation theory by reviewing various judicial precedents in Japan through the following key questions: Which valuation methods are supported in disputes? How have such supports changed over the years? What is the level of acceptance of the DCF method in cases of disputes? What are the differences in dealing with stock valuation between listed and non listed stocks? How are stocks valued in recent judicial precedents? What are the issues concerning taxation? The paper also contributes to an area of accounting and finance which lacks researches of the valuation methods in judicial precedents in Japan.

Kazuo Dan is considered as a ruinous type of writer. He had difficulties in his background, for instance, his mother left home when he was 9 years old. I can see a vitality and will to live behind his dissapation for destruction. It seems like a home environment had a deep effect on his behavior later on. In this paper, I have tried to understand his life through the psychoanalytic viewpoints of Manic Defences, Depressive Position and Transitional Object.

In this study, the questionnaire survey for slimming intention and body size, self-acceptance, self-confidence, and clothing behavior was conducted on 444 young female. We considered how intention towards body slimming was related to self-consciousness and clothing behavior, based on comparison between groups with higher and lower consciousness towards slimming. The results were as follows: (1) 87% female hoped to be slender and their ideal figure was extremely thin. Even in the higher slimming intention group, 90 percent or more belonged to thin or standard level in medical body mass index. They hoped to lose more weight and to be thinner especially in the lower part of their bodies. (2) Higher slimming intention group answered in the negative for self-acceptance, and tendency to lack in independency and confidence could be seen in their Cinderella complex questionnaire results. (3) Analysis on clothing expenses and purchase frequency showed that higher slimming intention group had stronger interest in clothing, were more ingenious in trying to look thinner and that this intention led them to gain more psychological stability. As a result, we conclude that slimming intention is now widely accepted in the modern society for the reasons that being thinner and wearing smartly lead to self-acceptance, self-confidence and mental stability.

This study attempted to illuminate the relationship to levels of self-esteem and parenting attitudes in mothers with infants. Mothers (N=81) completed the self-esteem scale (10 items) and the parenting attitudes scale (30 items). As a part of the results, the higher group of self-esteem indicated the higher level of parenting attitudes. Other results were that homemaker mothers tended toward lower degree of self-esteem and also indicated lower level of parenting attitudes in comparison with mothers working full-time. Single mothers have lower degree of self-esteem than married mothers with a significant difference. It is well known that children's self-esteem is influenced by mothers' self-esteem. For the purpose of improving mothers' self-esteem and children's self-esteem as well, it is necessary for mothers (especially for homemaker mothers and single mothers) that the burden of childcare is lightened.

Zum Marchentyp AT480 gehoren die japanischen Marchen Jizo Jodo (Elysium des Schutzgottes), Nezumi Jodo (Elysium der Mäuse) und Kurihiroi (Kastanien Sammeln). In dieser Abhandlung werden sie mit den europäischen Märchen AT480 wie KHM 24 „Frau Holle" und anderenachtzehnMärchenausverschiedenenSprachgebietenverglichen,umzu^nveranschaulichen, wie man sich die unirdische Welt vorstellt und wie man damit umgeht. In den europäischen Märchen gelangt die Hauptfigur zwangsweise in die unirdische Welt, und das unirdische Wesen, das meistens allein, aber auch mit Apfelbaum, Backofen, Kuh u.a. zusammen hervortritt, pruft, wie gut oder bose die Haupt- und Nebenfigur sind. Das unirdische Wesen belohnt die Hauptfigur fur ihre Tugend wie Freundlichkeit und Bescheidenheit und bestraft die Nebenfigur für ihre Unfreundlickeit und Habgier. In diesem Sinne gilt die irdische Moral auch in der unirdischen Welt. Dagegen geht die Hauptfigur der japanischen Marchen freiwillig oder sogar eingeladen in die unirdische Welt, in der sie mit zwei unirdischen Wesen, einem Jizo (Schutzgott) und Oni (Teufel) begegnet. Zwar ist der Jizo gut und der Oni bose, wie die Hauptfigur ein guter Alter und die Nebenfigur ein boser Alter ist. Aber wenn man es genauer betarachtet, ist das Gute und Bose nicht so leicht zu unterscheiden. Aus Dankbarkeit für das Essen, das der Jizo ohne Erlaubnis der Hauptfigur gegessen hat, berät der gute Jizo der Hauptfigur, den Onis Geld zu stehlen. Die Nebenfigur, die neidisch die Hauptfigur nachahmt, erleidet einen miserablen Misserfolg, manchmal den Tod. In diesen japanischen Märchen wird das Verhalten der Figuren nicht getestet und der Grund, warum die Hauptfigur belohnt und die Nebenfigur bestraft wird, ist nicht überzeugend, und die unirdische Welt und deren Verlauf ist trotzdem mit Respekt zu akzeptieren.

From the necessity of managing water intake for the maintenance and improvement of health, we investigated the dietary habits and water intake among the female junior college students (n=68). The results are summarized as follows. The total water intake was apparently insufficient, averaging at 1437±363ml. While, 7.4% of the students satisfied the requirement (2000ml), 30.9% of them consumed less than 1200ml. The average amount of water taken as liquid was 762±318ml. Only 19.1% of the students satisfied the requirement (1000ml). In addition, both the amount of water taken at each meal and intake frequency per day tended to be insufficient, which reminded us of the necessity of improving the situation. As to the kinds of beverages taken, tea was most commonly consumed. The average amount of water taken from food sources was 675±223ml, satisfying 60-70% of the requirement. In addition, only 10.3% of the students satisfied the requirement (1000ml). The causes of deficiency included, insufficient meal (breakfast and lunch) and soup intake. Furthermore, those who habitually eat at irregular hours and those who skip meals showed significantly low levels of water intake. Based on the above findings, we confirmed the necessity of immediately improving the situations observed among the young generation by taking measures for insufficient water intake both via liquids and via food so as to attain the required water intake.

In 1974, Shiina Etsusaburo, who was the vice-president of the Liberal Democratic Party(LDP), decided to nominate Miki Takeo for the president of the LDP. There are four reasons why Miki was nominated. First, Shiina expected that Miki could modernize LDP. Second, Miki had a long career as a member of the House of Representatives. Third, there was the only situation where Miki could be nominated. And forth, Shiina prevented Miki from making a new party.After Miki became a prime minister of Japan, he set out to form a cabinet. When Miki chose the ministers, he considered balance of factions of LDP, the number of times person was elected, and a member of the House of Councillors. As a result, Miki's organization of cabinet became much different form his first design.This organization suggests that Miki suffered from conducting the government.

This paper continues the psychological studies of "Manchuria" after 1936. The previous entry in this journal introduced the topic. This paper focuses on the works of the psychologists associated with the Research Institute of Kenkoku University1 and the Manchukuoan Psychological Association. Professor Tanenari Chiba, the chief professor of the University and the president of the Association, endeavored for the establishment of the theoretical methodology for race study. Under his influence, Professor Saburo Abe and Associate Professor Tsukasa Susukita respectively investigated the racial characters of "Manchuria". Intelligence tests were administered to pupils from various racial groups in the area. These tests were conducted over period of three years by members of the Hsinking District Sectional Meeting of the Association. Unfortunately, that data disappeared with the fall of "Manchukuo". In addition to the studies indicated above, other researches were also reviewed for this study. These studies provide two contributions: (1) the ideological maintenance of the status quo, and (2) the methodological hypotheses for race psychology.
