Yogurt containing Bifidobacterium longum BB536 (designated as Bifidus yogurt) was administered to adult volunteers and its effects on the intestinal environment with reference to fecal microflora, ammonia levels, fecal characteristics (color, consistency) and defecation frequency were examined. Bifidus yogurt was manufactured by fermenting milk with B. longum BB536, Streptococcus thermophilus STH-450 and Lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp. bulgaricus LBU-108. Standard yogurt manufactured using only S. thermophilus STH-450 and L. delbrueckii subsp. bulgaricus LBU-108 was used as the control diet. Eleven women volunteers were assigned as subjects to test the effects of Bifidus yogurt on the intestinal environment. Thirty-nine women volunteers were assigned as subjects to test the effects on fecal characteristics and defecation frequency. The volunteers were each administered 100 g of standard yogurt per day for two weeks. After a two-week interval period, each subject was administered 100 g of Bifidus yogurt per day for the subsequent test period. The period of administration of Bifidus yogurt was 2 weeks for testing effects on the intestinal environment and 3 weeks for testing effects on fecal characteristics and defecation frequency. The administration of Bifidus yogurt was effective to increase the number and relative percentage of fecal bifidobacteria significantly. The fecal ammonia concentration tended to decrease and fecal organic acid content tended to increase. The defecation frequency was significantly increased by Bifidus yogurt. The color of the feces changed to yellow and the consistency changed to soft. The administration of Bifidus yogurt was effective to improve the intestinal environment, fecal characteristics and defecation frequency.

Subjective happiness affected by self-oriented perfectionism should decrease undergraduates' motivation toward job-hunting and prevent them from looking for a job. From the perspective of the self-oriented perfectionism mediation model (Takahashi, 2005), the present study investigated the effects of the female university students' self-oriented perfectionism on subjective happiness during their job-hunting process, motivation toward job-hunting, and other activities. Results of a questionnaire showed their concern over their own mistakes might have had the direct effect and the indirect effect mediated by self-preoccupation tendency on her subjective happiness, which are consistent with the self-oriented perfectionism mediation model. On the other hand, there was the effect inconsistent with the model. Subjective happiness had no effects on job-hunting activities. The direct effect of self-oriented perfectionism on motivation toward job-hunting was investigated.
