This paper focuses on the educational philosophy in Finland which has led studentsthere to reach the highest rank in the world in many achievement tests such as TOEFL orPISA (Programme for International Student Assessment). As a result of such success,many researchers are visiting Finland these days, and, in November 2008, I went therewith the specific purpose to establish a method of developing presentation skills among collegestudents and fixing the criteria in evaluating these students' presentations in Japan.By showing how classes in Finland are conducted, I will discuss the ideology of Finnisheducation, or "the FINNISH METHOD of education."The FINNISH METHOD of education is based on how effectively teachers can helpstudents acquire communicative skills through discussion. In the FINNISH METHOD,"discussion" doesn't simply mean talking with others but two parties coming to a conclusionwhich is favorable to both parties. This is done by persuading the other party, recognizingthe different values of others, and, sometimes, getting through hardships of confrontingopposite opinions. This special idea of "discussion" can be applied to help studentsobtain skills to solve problems in groups and obtain a sense of global communication skills.Both skills are best adapted to solve the PISA tests, but the Finnish Educational Ministrystarted to emphasize these two skills not because they would like to raise the students'scores in PISA but because the Finnish people came to realize the importance of these conceptsin order to survive the terrible economic situation after the collapse of the SovietUnion in the 1990s, which used to be the biggest market for Finland. In order to build awelfare nation, Finnish people had to develop skills to solve problems in groups, not individually,and, living in a small country surrounded by such big nations as Sweden or theSoviet Union, they had to develop necessary global communication skills.※Acknowledgment : This work includes the result of the research supported by KAKENHI(20530870), or Grant-in-Aid for Scientific Research (C) ["Establishing the Method toDevelop Presentation Skills and the Criteria in Evaluating Presentations by Referring tothe FINNISH METHOD of Education"] by Japan Society for the Promotion of Science(JSPS).

My purpose of this paper consists in analysing<<the thought of community>>or<<thethought of the State>>in the thought of Emmanuel L&eacute;vinas. While a certain scholar did notalways come to study the subject of the State or the community in the history ofinterpretations of L&eacute;vinas, however, it does not only seem to be very important for me, butalso to be essential on deeply thinking the political thought of L&eacute;vinas, that the problem ofthe State or the familiy etc, namely, that of the community occupys a central place in thediscussion around, not only the political thought of L&eacute;vinas, but also his philosophicalthought. That is the reason why I would like to insist on these discussions in the use of thedecipherment lattice of Jacques Derrida's readings of L&eacute;vinas, from both a political levelviewpoint and a philosophical level viewpoint. In analysing these discussions or theseproblems, there are then two consequences, i.e., political consequense, and philosophicalconsequense. The latter is that of the philosophical discussion which concerns thedeconstruction of the philosophy founded by the representation from Platon to Heidegger,and the former is that of political discussion which is how to think actually, fundamentallyraison d'&ecirc;tre of the community, and so the perpetual peace. We will understand that thesetwo problems become the same problem in the philosophy of L&eacute;vinas.

Objective: To identify the impact that role-lettering has on promoting self-understanding and understanding of others in nursing students, and to discover the educational implications of acquiring interpersonal and communication skills. Method: The research was designed as an exploratory validation of inductive and descriptive factors of role-lettering, and for validation of clinical hypotheses. Subjects were 215 2-year course nursing students in Kyushu Prefecture. They were mailed a self-administered survey and a qualitative analysis of their responses was conducted. Results: 102 surveys were returned, with 93 valid responses (43.3%). The valid surveys contained the following responses: "dissatisfaction and anger," "complaints and predicaments," "tension and mixed feelings," "expectations for others," and "confirmation of others' feelings." The returned surveys contained the following responses: "dissatisfaction and criticism," "valid complaints and justifications," " difficulty in understanding and response," "different perspectives," and "expectations and hopes for self." Based on the feeling of good or ill will towards others, limitations for self-understanding and understanding for others were revealed. Of the seven clinical hypotheses, five were validated. Discussion: Clarifying one's emotions through role-lettering and sharing the standpoint of others aids in self-dialog, promotes empathic understanding, displays an interest in and concern for others, and deepens self-understanding and understanding of others. Five of the seven clinical hypotheses were validated, and educational implications that promote self-understanding and the understanding of others obtained.

Objective: This study aims to clarify the following aspects when students meet patients during their participation in nursing practicum: what they experience (their awareness) "in the here and now;" the significance they place on their own practicum experience; and how they attain, form, and deepen their clinical knowledge which consists of situational knowledge, embodied knowledge, and knowledge of relations. Methods: A semi-structured interview was conducted with seven 4th-year students who had completed their nursing practicum at a nursing university, with the interview content qualitatively analyzed. Results: The interview time was 70±31 minutes. The subjects were aged 22±1 years. Although the students had experienced feelings of perplexity and confusion concerning nursing practicum and their patients' states at the beginning of the practicum, the study found that they were ultimately able to form and deepen their clinical knowledge through their relationships with the patients. Discussion: At the beginning of the students' nursing practicum, they felt perplexed at various situations around them. Then, bolstered by their desire to become involved with the patients, they focused on their patients present with them "in the here and now." By getting closer to the patients' worlds, the students assimilated clinical knowledge. When the students were liberated from their own operative emotions in their interaction with the patients, their clinical knowledge deepened. This study suggests that students' growth can be enhanced if support is provided, allowing students to become aware of their sensation of being together with the patients "in the here and now" and to form their "clinical knowledge." This process, in turn, deepens their clinical knowledge and mode of formation and deepening.

It is said that if the competition rate to get into university decreases by two times it will be difficult to secure the present competiveness. Therefore it is essential to create as soon as possible a competitive environment as well as review the admission quota. As well, in order to reduce the rate of students dropping out of school, we must offer a better education. The fluctuation of the number of applicants and the number of incoming students is a severe problem in regards to management, educational research, and grant donors. However, even if various measures to create a better education are implemented, it not easy to avoid the problem of failing to achieve the admission quota. One proposal to solve this difficult issue is making clear the structural phenomenon of the decrease of the number of applicants and the number of incoming students. By doing so it might be possible to see what needs to be done. For this study we could understand the condition of the fluctuating number of applicants and incoming students by using a model, namely, the model of Kermack-McKendrick that maps the spread of infectious diseases, and we considered the implementation of a plan for increasing the number of incoming students. In our conclusion we describe two main results in order to increase the number of incoming students to match the admission quota.

I suggest that there is a necessity to understand about hand-play songs well from the viewpoint of an instructor at a nursery education and day care training school. That is because nursery school and kindergarten teachers don't think about what kind of value hand-play songs have as a teaching materials in most cases though they find them necessary. Therefore the purpose of this study is to consider their meaning as teaching materials on the present fields of childcare by studying the history of hand-play songs by means of music books, which have been published since the Meiji era (1868-1912). Music of hand-play songs is divided into four types: traditional children's song, foreign songs, creative songs, and anonymous songs. Based on the facts clarified from the history of each type, I found the following 2 points at issue. 1.The value of hand-play songs as a teaching material is great because one is free to use it in any form of play. Singing in the same manner as the original song is not necessarily correct. It is only natural that the melody or the words should change through the process of playing by nursery teachers and children, and it means creating the original songs as well. 2.Hand-play songs become an opportunity for music education because they repeat hand-play songs day after day, it has an effect of cultivating children's sense of rhythm and music. Moreover, it gives children an opportunity to enjoy various music, such as Western music and Japanese traditional children's song.

Gui (鬼) and Shen (神) are the ancestral souls and gods of a mountain or river. Guai, (怪), Li (力), Luan (乱), and Shen (神) are gods that use a supernatural creature, which revolts against order, and mountains and rivers. Kongzi (孔子) prayed to these deities and taught people to obtain happiness and profits through their own efforts without asking for such. However, many people thing that they would like to obtain happiness simply without having a longing for the things with the "mystical supernatural power" which man cannot know, and without going through a painful struggle. Although Kongzi (孔子) taught the ideal in opposition to many people following the social customs of the day, many people must have followed the social custom rather than his ideal. Previously work by academics have focused on stone monuments with an inscription of three characters (Shigandang:石敢當) or five characters (Taishanshigandang:泰山石敢當). These monuments pay homage to an evil spirit and although the custom of erecting such started in China, they can been see in various places in Japan. For example, Okinawa (沖縄) and their surrounding islands such as Amami Oshima (奄美大島) and Tokunoshima (徳之島), as well as Kagoshima (鹿児島), Miyazaki (宮崎) and Akita (秋田) prefecture. I investigated various sites in Okinawa with Shigandang and noted their locations on a map. There are very few place where Shigandang can be seen. This paper presents a different viewpoint taken by many so far and examines the historical progress of the Shigandang from past to present.

Piano playing is a very complex motor act that requires an enormous degree of coordination and comprehensive daily training. The pianist's technical training is usually separate from the musical training, and consists mostly of exercises that contain several repetitions of brief note patterns. Those patterns are intended to overcome deficiencies in the structure of the hand, like a limited span between fingers, or to master recurring difficult passages of the piano literature. In the typical school environment, those technical exercises are chosen from the several available piano methods. However, the conceptions of most methods are well over one century old and based on antiquated assumptions. For example, most methods focus excessively on the increase of fingers' muscles strength. This misconception leads to very inefficient and time-wasting practicing strategies with deplorable results like muscle soreness and pain, tendinitis and even focal dystonia. The vast majority of high school and university piano students in Japan are affected by those playing-related musculoskeletal disorders. Many research projects on musicians' sensorimotor system have amply demonstrated that the main requisite for a proficient piano technique is movement coordination instead of finger strength. This is confirmed by the empirical description that eminent pianists give of their extraordinary technique. The daily exercises presented here were developed and tested over a 5-year span, and are based on recent neuroscience research. The exercises are rather simple and short, and have a moderate melodic sense in order to avoid monotony. They are newly created, or adapted from historical sources, and are targeted to piano students of high school and university grade. These exercises have shown to be useful in the improvement of students' auditory-sensorimotor skills, and they can lead to a better music-making.

Gui (鬼) and Shen (神) are the ancestral soul and God of a mountain or a river. Guai (怪), Li (力), Luan (乱), Shen (神) are God of what uses a supernatural creature and the violence that is not right, the thing which revolts against order, and mountain and river. Kongzi (孔子) prayed to these deities. Then, he taught people to obtain happiness and profits by own efforts, without asking for happiness or profits. However, many people think that they would like to obtain happiness simply, without having a longing to the thing with "the mystical supernatural power" which man cannot know, and making a painful effort. Although Kongzi (孔子) taught the ideal in opposition to many people following the social custom, many people must have followed the social custom rather than Kongzi's ideal. According to the research which academic predecessors have investigated, a monument which has been carved and stands has three characters of a "Shigandang" (石敢當), or five characters of a "Taishanshigandang"(泰山石敢當) on a rectangular slate, and generally pays homage to an evil spirit. Although it started in China, in Japan, there are many in Okinawa (沖縄) (islands of the circumferences, such as AmamiOshima (奄美大島) and Tokunoshima (徳之島), is included), Kagoshima (鹿児島), Miyazaki (宮崎), and then Akita (秋田). About the districts in Okinawa with many Shigandang, I investigated these places and made what was displayed on the map. In a few areas, the name of a place with a Shigandang can be seen. However, this thesis changes a viewpoint taken by many so far and examines the historical progress of the Shigandang from the past to present.

Tokushima and Kagawa prefectures are in a similar situation in that they can be called backward prefectures in regards to the mental health field. The mental health professionals of both prefectures have been working as a study group aiming at "the community improvement in which all people can live together." As a part of the activities of the study group, we obtained an opportunity of an observation-cum-study of the House of Urakawa Beteru in November, 2012. We perceived the following two necessary recognitions through the observation-cum- study. One is the existence of potential paternalism of thoughts of the supporters themselves. Another, is that the mental health professionals and peers as supporters need to promote and draw strength from the people with mental illness.

In this paper, we describe the current situation of electronic money and the difference between that money and existing currency first and then consider whether what impact the financial markets spread of electronic money. Specifically, we examine techniques for econometric analysis of the relationship between the amount of each type of monetary circulation by up to 10,000 yen bills and one yen coins spread of electronic money. In the OLS analysis, the number of terminals and electronic cash cards issued has not affected the amount of the monetary circulation, showed that statistically, only affect the settlement amount. But that positive effect, that is, the amount of money and monetary circulation was a result of a complementary relationship. Validation of variance decomposition, the contribution rate for each type of currency circulation, the amount was higher than the number of terminals and payment cards issued.

Palliative care is specialized health care for dying people which aims to maximize thequality of life and assist families and carers during and after the death. For the last decade,music therapy (MT) has been adopted as one of the holistic therapies in a palliative caresetting.The first author of the present study had practiced bedside MT for a total of 39patients in a palliative care ward of a private hospital for ten months. Most of themreported a decrease of physical pain by the intervention of MT. As the the sessions wererepeated, some became increasingly active so that they could request more songs or sing bythemselves. The others reported that MT caused a healing effect and facilitated emotionalexpression. We discussed the role of music therapist in palliative care through fourimpressive patients at the end of life.First of all, music therapists should have some medical knowledge about psychologicalor physical conditions in patients facing the end of life. Moreover, they should promotetheir performance skills of an instrument in order to effectively assist patients withdifferent needs, as well as communication skills to establish favourable relationships withpatients, their family or co-medical staff.
