On March 31,2014,the International Court of Justice delivered a decision on the Japanese whaling case. It ruled that Japan's research whaling (JAPRA II) breached its obligations under the Intemational Convention for the Regulation of Whaling (ICRW). At the same time,the Court admitted the lethal sampling of whales could be broadly characterized as scientific research and that for certain purposes non-lethal methods are not feasible. The Court also pointed out that the design and implementation of JAPRA II,in particular the scale of lethal sampling,were not reasonable in light of the stated objectives ofthe program. It expected that Japan would take this judgment into consideration when it re-launches the program in the future. After giving the background and general outline of the judgment,this paper examines the reasoning of the judgment and considers some of the controversial issues surrounding judicial decision over scientific matters. It also discusses some possible ramifications of this judgment on future Japanese whaling activities.

This paper reports on aspects of the healing deity Kanayamasama based on investigations on the islands of Hachijojima and Aogashima.Results are as follows:1) Kanayamasama is a deity that possesses an ambivalent nature with the power to curse and lift curses.2) Fujou caused by a curse is thought to cause illness on both islands. Because Kanayamasama possesses power to lift Fujou, she is revered as a healing deity.3) On both islands, shrine maidens play a large role in determining the character of Kanayamasama.In light of these findings, this study noted to need to understand health in terms of folk customs on both islands when discussing actual issues in the areas of medicine and welfare.カナヤマサマは、鍛冶屋のカミ、火のカミとして知られる民俗神であるが、本稿では、その治癒神としての側面を八丈島・青ヶ島での調査に基づいて報告し、両島における健康観の一端を考察した。その結果明らかになったのは、以下の点である。一、カナヤマサマは、呪詛の力を発揮するカミであるとともに、呪詛を祓うカミでもあるという両義的な性格を有すること。二、呪詛によって生じるフジョウが、病いの一因と両島では考えられており、それを祓う力をカナヤマサマが有するが故に、治癒神として祀られること。三、両島におけるカナヤマサマの性格形成には、ミコの果たす力が大きいこと。以上の点を報告した上で、両島の医療や福祉の分野に置ける現実的な課題を考えていくにあたり、両島が育んできた民俗レヴェルでの健康観に対する理解の必要性を指摘した。

Few academicians thought that they would live to see the day when all students wanting to enter a university could do so, but that day has finally come. Universities' future survival depends on whether or not they can improve their classes and satisfy their students. To that end, we should analyze and share information on lectures with each other.This essay discusses my efforts over twenty years to improve my classes in order to enrich and encourage student's academic abilities.1. In order to let students prepare for lessons, I first made handouts and put them in mailboxes. I expected them read before lessons, but many students failed to remove and read them before class. Then I made textbooks, and now I put them on my web site.2. Students want two-way communication even in big classes. That said, Japanese are often too shy to speak before an audience so some techniques were devised to encourage speaking like giving points for speeches.3. Students should write down material in class, and I gave them opportunities to do so in reports, mailing lists, and bulletin boards. Reading what other students have written helps provide different views.I have used a web-based system to improve my classes.
