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.

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.

A Study of Childcare Problems for a Hearing Impaired Couple: Research Analysis Using the Trajectory Equifinality Model (TEM)Chiaki SATO and Hitomi YOSHIDAAs part of the effort toward child-rearing support in Japan, the reform of men’s work styles has gained attention, in addition to support for women’s work-family balance. However, child-rearing support for parents with disabilities is far from sufficient.Through a qualitative survey administered to a child-rearing husband and a wife with hearing impairment, this article aims to reveal issues in their lives and to explore how child-rearing support should be provided for parents with disabilities. The results were analyzed using the Trajectory Equifinality Model (TEM). The analysis revealed that close support from the wife’s side of the family was critical for the hearing impaired couple in raising children. Further, issues regarding future child-rearing support included the following: first, accessibility to essential child-rearing support service for people with hearing impairment; second, support measures that do not depend on the families of child-rearing parents must be sought; third, companies must undergo fundamental reform regarding working conditions and attitudes toward work; finally, family-friendly local communities must be fostered.

This article is the second part of a series of research on the theme of subject in Wittgenstein’s early philosophy. The period is defined as his middle-period, which roughly lies between Tractatus and Philosophical Investigations. In this article the author deals with the first phase of his middle-period philosophy, which started in January 1929 and ended in April 1930. He must have accepted the criticisms to the Tractatus ontology from Sraffa, Ramsey and Schlick, and couldn’t but abandon the mutual independence of elementary propositions, which is the key concept of Tractatus. Then, he put a new focus upon immediate experience and language by introducing a novel notion of grammatical form and space instead of logical form and space. It seemed to him that the problems raised with the help of his friends would be solved in the new ontological framework, but he found out another problem right away. This article discusses why and how he changed his theory.

The purpose of this article is illuminating the theoretical and pedagogical perspectives on grammar instruction in the field of second language acquisition (SLA) research and educational settings. In many educational contexts, although communicative activities have been strenuously implemented into language lessons, grammar instruction has not been appropriately integrated in the lessons. In this article, theoretical perspectives on grammar instruction will be explained and a systematic framework of grammar instruction, “form-focused instruction (FFI)”, will be demonstrated. Then an instructed model integrating FFI and communicative contexts proposed by Lyster (2007, 2017) will be illustrated. Finally, empirical findings regarding FFI will be reviewed.

Recently, studies of intestinal microbiota have been conducted using mainly next-generation sequencers to perform comprehensive bacterial DNA analyses. When using this molecular biological approach, intestinal bacterial DNA is extracted from fecal samples. But the influence of the fecal sample storage condition and the methods of DNA extraction on the analysis have not been investigated as far as we know. In this study, we evaluate the effects of different freezing conditions and storage periods of microbial DNA in fecal samples using PCR-DGGE analysis. Fecal samples were stored at −20 ºC, −80 ºC and −80 ºC followed by a liquid nitrogen treatment and kept for 3 months and 1 year, respectively. Microbial DNA extracted from these fecal samples was examined using PCR-DGGE analysis to monitor total intestinal microbiota: Bacteroides, Bifidobacterium, Lactobacillus and Clostridium groups. DGGE profiles demonstrated that the total bacterial flora was stable and no significant changes were found due to storage conditions or periods. In genus specific detection of samples stored for three months, DNA bands were detected in all samples except for in part of the Clostridium group. In the case of fecal samples stored for one year, both at −80 ºC and also treated with liquid nitrogen, amplified genus specific bands were present in all samples. A different band pattern was observed only in the amplicon of the liquid nitrogen treated samples from the Clostridium group. On the other hand, in microbial DNA extracted from samples preserved at −20 ºC it was impossible to amplify specific fragments. Since some bacterial groups in fecal samples were affected by the freezing method, storage conditions and period, it appears that rapidly freezing fecal samples may be the most effective way to maintain intestinal microbiota.

The authors examined the effect of interdependent group-oriented contingencies on sitting behaviors of elementary students at the beginning of the regular classes. The study was conducted in a 2nd-grade classroom of a public elementary school. Participants were 25 children(14 boys, 11 girls). The target behavior was described as follows: “I will sit down as soon as the chime rings.” The authors observed and recorded 42 sessions including the first 1-17 baseline phase, the following 18-34 intervention phase, and the final 35-42 follow-up phase. After the 17th session, the target behavior was set for all the children for sessions 18-34, and the class teacher announced that a medal sticker with a popular cartoon character would be attached to the class goal poster each time they all sat down as soon as the chime rang, and promised that when they achieved this 15 times, a fun event would be held as a reward. All through the intervention period the frequency of sitting behavior increased and the completion time was shortened. Application of interdependent group-oriented contingencies was effective in improving the sitting behavior of the children.
