Using a unique data set covering four years and six semi-annual sales periods of an index-based livestock insurance (IBLI) product in southern Ethiopia, we examine the dynamics of pastoralists’ demand for IBLI. We find that: (1) there is intertemporal dependence of an uptake decision, represented by correlations of unobserved household factors over time; (2) conditional on previous purchase decisions, factors related to continuing the purchase of IBLI to augment existing coverage and replace lapsing contracts differ significantly; (3) controlling for time-invariant household-fixed effects, neither a one-shot subsidy nor the uptake of others in one’s social network influence subsequent demand, whereas less vegetation and reduced insurance premiums induce households to purchase IBLI. Overall, our study provides rigorous micro-evidence to better understand the dynamic uptake of IBLI and signifies the importance of an empirical analysis that takes into account the dynamic demand structure.

目的:欧米における外来プリセプティングの制度や方法とそのエビデンスの文献調査をする.方法:PubMedを用い,家庭医療や一般内科の外来研修のプリセプティングに関する文献をレビューした.309件の文献から日本の家庭医療後期研修のヒントという観点で,選択・除外基準に基づき,18の文献を精読して,テーマを抽出した.結果:プリセプティングのスタイルはプリセプターが専任であることが効果的だった.プリセプティングは症例のプレゼンテーション後に5分前後のディスカッションで,主に診断・治療に焦点が当てられた.プリセプティングの場でEBMや心理社会的な問題,フィードバックは少なかったが,それらを増やす試みとして,one minute preceptorや学習者中心のプリセプティングのSNAPPSの技法が効果的だった.結論:外来プリセプティングでは,EBMや心理社会的問題も含めて議論し,フィードバックなど教育的なディスカッションを効率的にする試みがなされていた.

Microbial colonization, followed by succession, on newly exposed volcanic substrates represents the beginning of the development of an early ecosystem. During early succession, colonization by mosses or plants significantly alters the pioneer microbial community composition through the photosynthetic carbon input. To provide further insights into this process, we investigated the three-year-old volcanic deposits of Mount Merapi, Indonesia. Samples were collected from unvegetated (BRD) and moss-covered (BRUD) sites. Forest site soil (FRS) near the volcanic deposit-covered area was also collected for reference. An analysis of BRD and BRUD revealed high culturable cell densities (1.7–8.5×105 CFU g–1) despite their low total C (<0.01%). FRS possessed high CFU (3×106 g–1); however, its relative value per unit of total C (2.6%) was lower than that of the deposit samples. Based on the tag pyrosequencing of 16S rRNA genes, the BRD bacterial community was characterized by a higher number of betaproteobacterial families (or genus), represented by chemolithotrophic Methylophilaceae, Leptothrix, and Sulfuricellaceae. In contrast, BRUD was predominated by different betaproteobacterial families, such as Oxalobacteraceae, Comamonadaceae, and Rhodocyclaceae. Some bacterial (Oxalobacteraceae) sequences were phylogenetically related to those of known moss-associated bacteria. Within the FRS community, Proteobacteria was the most abundant phylum, followed by Acidobacteria, whereas Burkholderiaceae was the most dominant bacterial family within FRS. These results suggest that an inter-family succession of Betaproteobacteria occurred in response to colonization by mosses, followed by plants.

We report here on the theoretical interpretation of results related to compression experiments performed on the University of Rochester's four beam laser system. The experimental results show volume reduction on the order of 300 with compressed electron temperatures on the order of 1 KeV, critical surface temperatures also about 1 KeV and a density plateau in the vicinity of the critical surface. The theoretical work focusses on the effect of absorption time history, of reduced flux limits and of variation of the suprathermal electron distribution on the replication of these experiments.

Seven continuous cell lines were established from salmonid and nonsalmonid fishes. Salmonid cell lines derived from rainbow trout Oncorhynchus mykiss and chum salmon O. keta were designated RTE and RTE-2 (rainbow trout embryo), RTT (rainbow trout tail), and SEH ("sake" or chum salmon embryo head). Nonsalmonid cell lines derived from pond smelt Hypomesus olidus, chevron snakehead Channa striata, and goldfish Carassius auratus were designated WF-1 ("wakasagi" fin), SHH (snakehead heart), and EPG (epithelioma papulosum of goldfish), respectively. Optimum growth for most of the cell lines was observed in Eagle's minimum essential medium buffered with sodium bicarbonate (26 mM) or a combination of sodium bicarbonate (8.9 mM) and tris (16 mM). Likewise, most of the cell lines showed optimum growth at the lowest NaCl concentration tested (0.116 M). Optimum growth temperatures ranged from 15 to 20℃ for the salmonid cell lines and from 15 to 30℃ for nonsalmonid cell lines. Except for RTT, the cell lines were heteroploid. Eleven fish viruses were used to test the susceptibility of these cell lines. Cell lines derived from salmonids developed cytopathic effects (CPE) when infected with 10 of the 11 fish viruses tested, except for RTT, which produced CPE with only 8 of the fish viruses. Six fish rhabdoviruses used in this study elicited a pronounced CPE when inoculated into nonsalmonid cell lines EPG, WF-1, and SHH. Among the new cell lines, RTE-2 showed the best potential for the isolation of fish viruses.

Classification image法により視覚情報処理方略を詳細に示すことが可能である.例えば,顔画像が提示され個人弁別課題が与えられたとき,「顔のどの部分にどれくらい強く処理ウェイトをおくか」をピクセル単位で明らかにすることができる(e.g., Sekuler et al., 2004).ただし,この方法は相当数の試行数を必要とし,障害者など特殊な被験者に適用することは容易では無かった.本研究ではサブ・サンプリング刺激提示,ならびにデータ加工法の洗練により,従来より遙かに少ない試行数で,従来と同等に高い精度で顔情報処理の特徴を明らかにすることに成功し,自閉症者の顔情報処理を詳細に調べた.実験の結果,自閉症者においても健常者と同じく目・眉の領域に処理のウェイトをおくが,自閉症者ではそのウェイトが弱く,額にも処理ウェイトをおくなど健常者にはみられない処理方略を示した.

The absence of a comprehensive policy to address the problems faced by the local three-wheelers (tricycles) became obvious when the Clean Air Act was implemented in January 2003, requiring all motor vehicles to comply with the exhaust emission standards equivalent to Euro 1. The National Center for Transportation Studies was commissioned to develop standards and baseline references for motorcycles and tricycles to facilitate compliance. The objectives are to a) establish baseline information on tricycle drivers and passengers; b) develop standard configuration in the design for the conversion of motorcycle into tricycles; c) develop emission test protocol applicable to local tricycles; and, d) determine the effects of various fuel-oil mixtures for 2-stroke and 4-stroke motorcycles. A comprehensive study of tricycles and its users across Metro Manila was produced including sidecar designs and prototype, real-road test and chassis dynamometer simulation data.
