In order to clarify actual conditions of shoe noise, 380 female students were surveyed by means of a questionnaire with regard to shoe design and noise. 1) In summer, sandals were frequently worn, among which mules were worn the most. The top piece was worn away by 5% within 2 weeks, and by 20% within a month. The top-pieces of pencil heels tended to be worn away immediately after the shoes were worn. 2) Seventy percent of respondents felt their shoe noise was disturbing, particularly when they wore mules with pencil heels. Shoe noise usually occurred when the wearer descended stairs made of concrete or other hard materials. Survey results clarified that shoe noise largely depended on shoe design, or was related to top-piece wear. 3) Sixty-five percent of respondents answered that they found the footsteps of other people disturbing. The type of the noise they found disturbing was noise that resounded in their heads. 4) Seventy percent of respondents continued to wear noise-making shoes. Among them, 70% took some measures to prevent noise from occurring, such as changing their way of walking, while 30% did not do anything to prevent noise.

食用油脂が日常の食生活に普及し始め,油脂調理が家庭に定着する兆しが見えたと考えられる明治時代末期から大正時代末期までの19年間における食用油脂を用いた調理について,当時の婦人雑誌のひとつである『婦人之友』を調査対象として,食用油脂の種類および油脂調理の実態を調査し,特徴を明らかにした。日本料理は胡麻油を用いて揚げる調理が,支那料理では胡麻油およびラードを用いて妙める調理が多かった。日本料理および支那料理は,油脂を単独で使用する場合が多く,油脂の種類および油脂を用いた調理法としては,炒める,揚げる,焼く調理に限られていた。これに対して西洋料理は,炒める,揚げる,焼く(焼き付ける),煮る(煮込む),加熱用ソース,製菓材料,非加熱ソース,風味付けなどにバターをはじめとした食用油脂を使用し,しかもひとつの料理に複数の油脂を用いていた。特に西洋料理におけるバターの使用頻度は他の食用油脂に比べて最も多く,その調理方法および利用範囲も他の油脂類に比べて広いことが認められた。西洋料理同様に和洋折衷料理においても油脂を複数用いた調理が多く,調理法も多種多様であった。西洋料理の普及とともに,和洋折衷料理が誕生し定着した経緯の中で,油脂を用いた調理は増加傾向を示し,油脂の調理法は多様化したことが明らかとなった。明治時代以来,ひたすら西洋料理に目を向けその普及に努めてきた社会の風潮は,婦人雑誌の料理記事にも表れていたことを認めた。明治から大正時代にかけての油脂調理の大半は,西洋料理および和洋折衷料理であり,油脂を多量に使用する支那料理が一般家庭で日常的に調理できるには至っていなかったことが分かった。

The purpose of this study is to examine what constitutes effective educational materials and teaching methods in STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Mathematics) education,. It is the authors’ contention that materials and teaching methods that emphasize hands-on learning are effective in creating authentic learning in Living Environment and Natural Science classes. There are, however, some nation-wide problems with “monozukuri” as it is currently used at schools in Japan, so it is necessary to design a new teaching-learning model for STEAM education. To consider the significance of STEAM education, we conducted a case study in which students made a small electric fan by hand. Results revealed problems such as that curriculum development in this area in Japan is lacking, and that systems for delivering teaching materials to children are underdeveloped. Findings also demonstrated that 1) encouraging an artistic approach and tinkering is essential in STEAM education, 2) children are motivated to use their hands and learn in depth when they are given materials manipulable with some degree of freedom and are taught to use these materials with appropriate teaching methods, and 3) learning through engineering combined with art has the potential can create a beneficial synergy which can trigger learning in science, technology, and mathematics. Results further suggested that if the teacher refrains from pre-emptive intervention and allows children to work by themselves, the teacher, as well as the children, will enjoy the process and be able to learn together.

Beginning as early as Genji Monogatari and continuing to the present, women writers have had a significant impact on Japanese canon. Their perspectives present a critical view of the social structure and its effects on the lives of women, both in fiction and in factual biographical accounts. This essay posits that many female authors from modern Japan defied gender stereotypes and wrote about the difficulties that women faced. To illustrate this point further, Oba Minako (1930-2007) is introduced as an exemplary author who succeeded in her career despite many potential obstacles. Oba's writing combines imagery of women's power in the literary tradition as well as motifs from Japanese mythology to express a deep-seated anxiety with regard to the individuation process. Her short story "Yamamba no Bisho" examines this theme from the perspective of a psychic witch haunted by her supernatural abilities. Through an analysis of this story, the author will theorize that these abilities embody women's dual desire to both conform to the existing power structure and to reject it.

Today we find several varieties of hydrogen water in stores. This suggests that there has been a growing interest in this product among people who are concerned about their health and beauty. Hydrogen can be effective in reducing excess active oxygen in the body, and hydrogen water contains molecular hydrogen. Therefore the author measured antioxidative activities of 5 kinds of commercial hydrogen water and for comparison 2 kinds of alkaline ionized water using the Biological Anti-oxidant Potential(BAP)testing method. Commercial hydrogen waters were found to have antioxidative activities of about 200 to 450μmol/L. One of the alkaline ionized waters showed antioxidative activity of about 430μmol/L.

Arthur Conan Doyle abandoned Catholicism early on and later devoted himself to spiritualism. Looking at the composers mentioned in the Sherlock Holmes stories, many are Protestants, four of whom, Mendelssohn, Meyerbeer, Offenbach, and Wagner, wrote music using Martin Luther’s Ein’ feste Burg ist unser Gott. He also portrays the Huguenots who, after being chased out of France, resettled in the United States in The Refugees: A Tale of Two Continents. Doyle had a favorable view of Protestantism, especially the Lutheran and Huguenot varieties.

Kazahana (discontinued), first published in May 1947, was a haiku magazine initially presided over by Teijo Nakamura (1900-1988). The issuing office was located in the residence of Teijo Nakamura in Daita, and the haiku meetings were held at the 9th branch of the Setagaya ward office near Shimokitazawa Station, hence the journals activities were closely connected to Setagaya. Hideko Suda was affiliated with Kazahana as a haiku poet in her later years. But in her early days she had contributed to various literary magazines as a minor writer: short novels for girls in Shojogaho, short novels in Seito, and short novels and essays in Shojochi, etc. under the pseudonyms "Miyuki Izawa," "Yuki Hamano," and "Hideko Ito." Focusing on her work for Kazahana, this article looks at her life and describes how she was involved in haiku as a self-sufficient resident of Setagaya ward.

The Kamei residence has survived for nearly 90 years. This paper investigates the architectural history of the residence through research and interviews with the present owner, analyzes and characterizes the house using relevant literature and previous knowledge gleaned from previous studies.◦The two-storied house was built as his villa in 1930 by Mitsumasa Kamei (1882-1946) who had been governor of Okinawa Prefecture (1924-1926). The floor space is 192.6 square meters.◦Both the main building and an attached porte-cochere have gable-and-hip roofs. The eaves of the roofs are warped upward and contribute to the majestic appearance of the building’s exterior. ◦This house has a western-style room beside the main entrance, a double-loaded corridor, a private entrance, 2 restrooms and a parlor and a living room at the center of the house, and a wide solarium in front of these 2 rooms. This was a common plan for middle-class housing in the early Showa Period. ◦However, the style of drawn doors in the main entrance and the tatami-floored hall in this house seems rather obsolete. This suggests that the openness of the entrance and traditional courtesy of meeting the visitors sitting on tatami in the entrance hall were preferred by the residents.◦Many inspection windows for crime prevention remain in this house, some of which provide a view of blind spots outside. Locks with keys were also installed indoors to prevent intruders.◦The south side of the building has many horizontal sliding doors and windows. The rooms open onto a solarium and a terrace beyond. This perspective brings the rooms and the garden together.◦This house was bombed during the air raids, but there was little damage. After the war, it was requisitioned by the occupation army. Later, another family rented part of the villa and lived together with the Kamei family. Two restrooms and 2 stair cases made this possible. There have been only minor renovations, and the house is well-preserved.
