This research focuses on the problems of family care in Japan and discusses a social work practice model that can explain these problems. Applying the concept of symbolic interaction as the framework for analysis, I tried to develop an integrated theory that would explain the meaning of family care and that would guide social work interventions. The result of the study indicates that the meaning of family care differs from one caregiver to another, depending on the experience of each caregiver and on the interpretation of experience by each caregiver. In addition, I introduced a new concept of "burying the past" for the purpose of better understanding the problems. These new theories are expected to be useful for preventing and intervening on the problems of family care in Japan.

Although there are no testimonies which present piracy as crucial menace for Romans, they had increasingly carried out the military actions against pirates by the end of the 2nd. Century B.C. That appears to be explained by two factors:1. An imperialistic tactics: Rome would have presented themselves as a protector of the mediterranean world by the suppression of pirates.2 A measure in the Roman political life: The military success gave Roman elites some political advantages.It would seem that piracy was a political issue for Romans in these two meanings. However, evidences of Roman attack against Cilician pirates in 102-100 B.C. show us that the pirates would have brought Romans into certain critical conditions. The judgment on this supposition requires us an inquiry into the situation in the following century.

RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) has quietly been a part of our daily lives for a long time. Advancements in this technology, however, are set to unleash its true potential and bring its benefits to many more components of the industrial field. By utilizing RFID technology, we can achieve minimized cost in various application programs/systems. The technology allows for higher automation, reducing the need for manual intervention. This can increase the speed at which a product flows through the new application fields, thereby lowering the need for safety stock. In this paper, we introduce a new application system by RFID which is used in medical education, especially acupuncture study in oriental and Western medicines.

Rev. Adam Sedgwick was one of the geological Great Masters who established modern geology in 19th century Britain. But to students of evolution, he was better known as a mentor of Charles Darwin at Cambridge, responsible taking him on his first geological field trip to Wales. Nevertheless, Sedgwick later strongly opposed the idea of evolution put forward by his former student, and never approved of it till his death. Since then, scientific assessment has been rather negative about Sedgwick seeing him as being conservative and dogmatic in his religious faith. However, he was no simplistic hardhead; rather as he was a central figure working for university reforms at the time, and was both liberal and at times radical, his complexity puzzles us. As for his intransigence against evolution, the author suspects there must have been some underlying reasons for it.\nThis article, by analysing his life, faith and science, investigates how this attractive individual, Adam Sedgwick, made his way through tumultuous 19th century Britain. Throughout his life, Sedgwick always interpreted the contemporary scene shrewdly, and after assessing the situation, would put all his energy into it enthusiastically. His attitude to life eventually made him one of the most prominent men of Cambridge at the time.

Ancient evidences of piracy in the first half of the first century B.C., in general, report the mutual assistance between Mithridates, king of Pontos, the most implacable enemy of Romans and the Cilician pirates. In some phases of conflicts and wars between the king and Romans, this paper finds out two different though interrelated dimensions around piracy as a political issue in this period:・ A Roman imperialistic tactics which exploits the label of the co-operator to the pirates against Mithridates.・ A measure for the Roman elites to gain a political superiority through imperium and the success in the war against Mithridates and pirates.This character of piracy is essentially similar to the situation in the second century B.C. However, the third dimension also appears apparent in the first half of the first century:・ Actions such as pillage, slaughter or kidnapping by pirates supported by Mithridates gave Roman society a severe damage which requested the Senate to take a thorough measure to suppress the pirates. This situation let the Senate permit some Roman commanders imperium extra ordinem――a temporally and spatially huge military power.
