Abstract : Theory development in nursing has been contentious so that issues about theory as knowledge base and counterpart of practice, and theory as the foundation of nursing as a discipline of knowledge and practice profession have facilitated the seeming ambiguity hindering theoretical contributions integral to human health and well-being. Nursing science continues to generate discussions about its development particularly grounding its practice as a legitimate component of human health care. The aims of this paper are (a) to describe three contemporary issues regarding theory construction and development in nursing, and (b) to advance a theory of nursing that can reconcile these issues. Content analysis following a review of literature revealed ontological,epistemological, and contextual issues on nursing theory development and theory-based practice perspective. The middle-range theory of Technological Competency as Caring in Nursing is advanced as integral to pursuing the reconciliation of theory development and practice engagements within the Universal Technological Domain in nursing and the health sciences.

台湾では、今でも民間信仰が盛んで、各地に、そのような寺院が多く見られる。そして、毎年、 多様な場所で、多様な時間に、多様な祭りが行われている。祭りの行列は「陣頭」と呼ばれ、踊り 子、祭り囃子の奏者、神輿などが列をなし、町をねり歩く。「官将首」は「陣頭」の一つで、新荘の 地蔵庵が発祥である。「官将首」の「陣頭」は二人が基本の形であり、地蔵菩薩の護法将軍の仮 装をしている。二人、三人、五人、七人、またはそれ以上の将軍で構成され、各将軍の仮装やア クセサリーもまちまちである。例祭の時には、行列の前に立ち、厄除祈念や招福祈願の儀式をし、 町をねり歩き、人びとに加護を与える。現代では、生活様式が変わったことで、この祭りにおける住 民の連携は薄くなり、その文化的意義も薄まりつつある。 本研究の目的は、「官将首」の文化を再認識する事ができる生活用品の開発である。研究成 果として、「官将首」の民俗文化から、意匠特質を抽出し、「官将首」がもつ「加護」と「先導」とい う信仰的意味をのせた緊急用の照明器具を開発した。

高安動脈炎は非特異性血管炎であり、その成因は不明で、我国では難病の1つに指定されている。長年の研究の結果、この血管炎の発生に自己免疫機序の関与が示唆されるが、まだ十分解明されるまでには至っていない。本症は、臨床的にもいくつかの特徴が明らかにされており、(1)若年女性に多発し、(2)アジア諸国に多く、欧米に少ない種属差が知られている。我々は、本症の成因に遺伝要因の関与を想定し、現在までにHLA A24-B52-DR2のhaplotypeが本症患者に有意に高い頻度で出現していることを確認し、この事実がアジア諸国に多発する本症の謎と解きあかす鍵と考えられた。なぜならばB52の高い出現頻度を示しアジア諸国、アメリカインディアン、南米と本症の多発地域とが一致するからである。その後の検索で南米、韓国、インド等に於いても、本症患者にB-5 or B-52が有意に高い頻度を示すことが明らかにされてきている。そこで本症の病態につき国際研究を開始したが、この国際比較に於いていくつかの新しい事態が明らかにされた。その1つは、各国によって男女比が異なることである。我国では、女性が圧倒的に多い事実に対して西方にゆくに従って、その比率が減少し、イスラエル、トルコでほぼ6:4の割合までにゆくことである。もう1つは種属によりその臨床病態が異なり、我国では上行大動脈より大動脈弓部にかけての病変が多いのに対し、インド、タイ、南米(メキシコ、ペル-)ではむしろ腹部大動脈に病変が多いという差が明らかにされた。特にインド等では腹部大動脈に限局した患者もかなり認められた。このことから病態の分類に腹部大動脈の病変のみを含めた新しい体系を国際間で取り決め、この新分類に従った患者の実態を目下明らかにしつつある。このことはHLAの研究に於いても新たな展開を開かしめた。我々の研究に於いてHLA B-39の存在が健康日本人に比し有意に高い統計上の成績が得られたが、実数はわずか10名に満たぬ程であった為に放置しておいたが、そのDNAレベルの研究から、本症患者にのみ認められるB-39-2という新しいタイプの存在が発見された。そしてこのB-39は南米や東南アジア諸国に於いてはB-52より高い出現頻度を示しており、B-39と連鎖不平衡を示す遺伝要因が改めて注目されるようになっている。目下、各国に於いてB-39の出現頻度とその臨床病態との比較が新たなテーマとして取り上げられ、目下検討が成されつつある。このDNAレベルの解析は、各国より送ってもらった血液にて当大学で目下行いつつある。

Tetronic acid is a candidate for an inducer of nodulation (nod) gene expression in Mesorhizobium loti. However, there is no evidence that tetronic acid is secreted from Lotus species, the host plants of M. loti. This suggests that Lotus plants may produce other genuine nod gene inducers that differ from tetronic acid. In this study, M. loti cells harboring a nodA-lacZ fusion were enclosed in dialysis tubing and immersed in L. corniculatus culture solution. Significant β-galactosidase activities were detected in the M. loti cells, indicating that nod gene inducers were present in the seed and root exudates. β-galactosidase activities in M. loti cells were also determined after cells were exposed to seed and root exudates or tetronic acid in vitro. Seed and root exudates induced greater β-galactosidase activity in M. loti cells in 1 mM CaSO_4 solution than in YEM medium. In contrast, tetronic acid induced greater β-galactosidase activity in M. loti cells in YEM medium than in 1 mM CaSO_4 solution. Further, β-galactosidase activities induced by seed and root exudates and tetronic acid tended to decrease as the pH of the medium became neutral. In an LC-MS analysis, we could not detect tetronic acid in the concentrated seed and root exudates. These findings indicate that Lotus plants release genuine nod gene inducers for M. loti that differ from tetronic acid. Finally, seed exudates of L. corniculatus were fractionated according to molecular size and polarity, and it was clarified that a putative nod gene inducer in the seed exudates was a low molecular weight and high polarity substance.

The physiological effects of “Shinrin-yoku” (taking in the atmosphere of the forest) were examined by investigating blood pressure, pulse rate, heart rate variability (HRV), salivary cortisol concentration, and immunoglobulin A concentration in saliva. Subjective feelings of being “comfortable”, “calm”, and “refreshed” were also assessed by questionnaire. The subjects were 12 male university students aged from 21 to 23 (mean±SD: 22.0±1.0). The physiological measurements were conducted six times, i.e., in the morning and evening before meals at the place of accommodation, before and after the subjects walked a predetermined course in the forest and city areas for 15 minutes, and before and after they sat still on a chair watching the scenery in the respective areas for 15 minutes. The findings were as follows. In the forest area compared to the city area, 1) blood pressure and pulse rate were significantly lower, and 2) the power of the HF component of the HRV tended to be higher and LF/(LF+HF) tended to be lower. Also, 3) salivary cortisol concentration was significantly lower in the forest area. These physiological responses suggest that sympathetic nervous activity was suppressed and parasympathetic nervous activity was enhanced in the forest area, and that “Shinrin-yoku” reduced stress levels. In the subjective evaluation, 4) “comfortable”, “calm”, and “refreshed” feelings were significantly higher in the forest area. The present study has, by conducting physiological investigations with subjective evaluations as supporting evidence, demonstrated the relaxing and stress-relieving effects of “Shinrin-yoku”.

本稿では、日本の大学において、外国語としての英語を学ぶクラスのためのアクティブラーニングのビデオプロジェクトについて考察する。このリサーチプロジェクトの目的は、次の問いを調査することである : 1)学生の英語力にこのプロジェクトはどのような効果があるのか、 2)英語力以外のどのようなスキルを学生は身につけるのか。これらの問いに答えを出すために、このプロジェクト実施の前後に、学生が認識している効果と困難さに関する意見を把握するためのアンケート調査を実施した。これらの結果と教員の観察、及び最終成果物に基づき、このプロジェクトは、学生の英語コミュニケーションスキル、協力するスキル、プロジェクトのプランニングスキル、そしてメディア制作のスキルの向上に寄与したと言える。また、テクノロジーの役割は有益であることが見て取れたが、時に、プラスの面とマイナスの面の両方が見られる場合もあった。さらに、統合カリキュラム内でプロジェクトを実施することの含意についても論じている。This paper discusses the implementation of an active learning video project for an English as a foreign language class at a university in Japan. The goal of this research project was to investigate the following questions: 1) How did the project benefit students'English? 2) What non-English skills did the students acquire ? A questionnaire was administered before and after the project to gage students' opinions about the perceived benefits and difficulties of the project. Based on these results, teacher observation and an analysis of the end product, this project helped students improve skills for English communication, collaboration, project planning and media production. The role of technology was observed to be positive, though it both enables and hindered students at times. Implications for implementing projects within an integrated curriculum are discussed.

Background: Rapid urbanization in China has led to a proliferation of electronic entertainment media among youth. Prolonged screen time (ST; includes watching television and playing on computers, video game consoles, or mobile phones) is linked to poor health profiles. The aim of this study was to report recreational ST behaviors and ST correlates among Chinese adolescents living in two regions with different degrees of urbanization.Methods: A cross-sectional, school-based survey (n = 3461 adolescents; aged 12–14 years old) living in inner-city Shanghai and a peri-urban region of Hangzhou. Students completed a questionnaire including family characteristics, daily ST, and information on family environment related to screen use. Recreational ST was categorized into two groups according to recommendations by the American Academy of Pediatrics (< or ≥2 h/day). Parents reported their own ST and also reported educational attainment as a proxy for socioeconomic status.Results: ST was higher among boys than girls and on weekends than weekdays. Peri-urban girls were more likely to exceed 2 h/day ST compared to inner-city girls on weekends. Having a father with no university degree, mother’s TV viewing ≥2 h/day, no ST rules at home, and eating meals in front of the TV were associated with higher ST on both weekdays and weekends, and regional differences were found for weekend ST.Conclusions: TV viewing and playing on the computer were the most prevalent ST behaviors among Chinese adolescents. Mobile phone playing was less prevalent but persistent throughout the week. More population-level surveillance and research is needed to monitor the trends in ST behaviors and to better understand the characteristics of those who are at risk.

In an 8-year-old Labrador Retriever with progressive anorexia, constipation, and depression, CT revealed intussusception of the cecum into the ascending colon and a small cecal mass showing strong enhancement on arterial phase. The ileocecocolic junction was surgically resected and histologically diagnosed as cecocolic intussusception with carcinoid tumor. The carcinoid tumor worked as a lead point of intussusception in this case. Dual phasic CT is useful to assess the presence of gastrointestinal tumors as lead points in old dogs with intussusception.

By using the Weather Research and Forecasting (denoted as WRF) model driven by two super-high-resolution global models, High Resolution Atmospheric Model (denoted as HiRAM) and Meteorological Research Institute Atmospheric General Circulation Model (denoted as MRI), this study investigates the dynamical downscaling simulation and projection of extreme precipitation activities (including intensity and frequency) in Taiwan during the Mei-Yu seasons (May and June). The analyses focus on two time period simulations: the present-day (1979-2003, historical run) and the future (2075-2099, RCP8.5 scenario). For the present-day simulation, our results show that the bias of HiRAM and MRI in simulating the extreme precipitation activities over Taiwan can be reduced after dynamical downscaling by using the WRF model. For the future projections, both the dynamical downscaling models (i.e., HiRAM-WRF and MRI-WRF) project that extreme precipitation will become more frequent and more intense over western Taiwan but less frequent and less intense over eastern Taiwan. The east-west contrast in the projected changes in extreme precipitation in Taiwan are found to be a local response to the enhancement of southwesterly monsoonal flow over the coastal regions of South China, which leads to an increase in water vapor convergence over the windward side (i.e., western Taiwan) and a decrease in water vapor convergence over the leeward side (i.e., eastern Taiwan). Further examinations of the significance of the projected changes in extreme precipitation that affect the agriculture regions of Taiwan show that the southwestern agriculture regions will be affected by extreme precipitation events more frequently and more intensely than the other subregions. This finding highlights the importance of examining regional differences in the projected changes in extreme precipitation over the complex terrain of East Asia.

In this study, the mechanism for precipitation hotspots (PHs) of locally developed afternoon thunderstorms in the Taipei Basin is investigated using a three-dimensional Vector Vorticity equation cloud-resolving Model (VVM) with an idealized topography and surface properties. A 500 m horizontal grid resolution is used in all experiments. The results show that the local circulation is a key for PHs at the south of the Taipei Basin. The two valleys guide background southwesterly (SW) flow along with the sea breezes to penetrate into the basin. The urban heat island (UHI) effect enhances the sea breeze convergence at the south of the basin and produces strong convection there. The interactions between cold pools generated by the convection and the sea breezes produce northward propagating new convective cells. Besides, the background wind direction is important in determining the location of sea breeze convergence. If the background wind direction changes from westerly (W) to west-northwesterly (WNW), there might be no precipitation at all in the basin. This study suggests that the idealized experiments also provide a useful framework for studying the impacts of future climate changes on the PHs in the Taipei Basin by applying the pseudo–global warming approach.

With the advances in digital media processing technologies and the tremendous growth in the amount of digital media that have been created, new artworks are becoming possible and drawing much attention from researchers, industry, and consumers. A related emerging research area is the evaluation of such multimedia artworks by machine learning techniques. We call this research area “attractiveness computing.” Attractiveness computing is made possible by the great accumulation of such multimedia artworks and of consumers' responses. In this paper, we review existing research on multimedia artworks analysis and attractiveness computing.

Legumes form root nodules and fix atmospheric nitrogen by establishing symbiosis with rhizobia. However, excessive root nodules are harmful to plants because of the resulting overconsumption of energy from photosynthates. The delay of an inoculation of the soybean super-nodulation mutant NOD1–3 with Bradyrhizobium diazoefficiens USDA110T by 5 d after an inoculation with several soil bacteria confirmed that one bacterial group significantly decreased root nodules throughout the study period. Moreover, no significant changes were observed in nitrogen fixation by root nodules between an inoculation with USDA 110T only and co-inoculation treatments. To clarify the potential involvement of PR proteins in the restriction of nodule formation in the plants tested, the relative expression levels of PR-1, PR-2, PR-5, and PDF1.2 in NOD1–3 roots were measured using real-time PCR. One group of soil bacteria (Gr.3), which markedly reduced nodule numbers, significantly induced the expression of PR-1, PR-5 and PDF1.2 genes by day 5 after the inoculation. By days 7, 10, and 20 after the inoculation, the expression levels of PR-2 and PR-5 were lower than those with the uninoculated treatment. Inoculations with this group of soil bacteria resulted in lower root nodule numbers than with other tested soil bacteria exerting weak inhibitory effects on nodulation, and were accompanied by the induction of plant defense-related genes. Thus, PR genes appear to play important roles in the mechanisms that suppresses nodule formation on soybean roots.
