Both Matt 19:28 and Luke 22:28-30 are based on the Q source, but the context is significantly different between the two passages. As the three passion predictions placed in proximity to 19:28 suggest, Matthew overall has in mind the parousia of the "Son of Man," Jesus. On the other hand, Luke 22:28-30 belongs to the scene of the Last Supper. Verse 30b corresponds almost exactly to Matt 19:28, in which Jesus tells his disciples: "You will also sit on twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel." The difference between the two verses is that Luke 22:30b does not specify the number of the thrones as twelve because, earlier in 22:3, Luke announces that Satan has entered into Judas Iscariot. The original form of the Q saying is preserved in Matthew's text, which keeps the phrase "twelve thrones" intact. The early Church could not have produced a saying that assumes the inclusion of "Judas the betrayer" in the judgment activity. The Q text thus derives from the actual words Jesus uttered in his lifetime. The question is, what kind of judgment did Jesus originally say the Twelve would engage in as his closest associates? In my view, the answer is found in Mark 8:38 and Luke 12:8-9, which point to the same reality as Matt 19:28. Luke 12:8-9 refers to the judgment that divides people into two groups: those acknowledged and those denied by the Son of Man before the angels of God, depending on whether or not they accepted Jesus' words during his lifetime. Likewise, when Jesus suggests that in the kingdom of God the Twelve will be enthroned with him to judge the twelve tribes of Israel, he implies that they will pass judgment on individuals from God's chosen people, Israel, according to their responses to the ministry of Jesus and the Twelve. As G. Theissen argued two decades ago using the term "group messianism," the kingdom of God, as Jesus proclaimed it, did not represent a focus of the messianic expectation on a particular individual. Jesus' relationship with the kingdom of God was neither individualistic nor exclusive. While he embodied the kingdom of God with an overwhelming sense of sovereignty, sovereignty nevertheless was shared by the Twelve who worked with him for the proclamation of the kingdom. They will therefore be duly enthroned with Jesus as individuals from Israel are judged in responding either positively or negatively to the message proclaimed by Jesus as well as the Twelve.

The Livelihood Protection Law of Japan was enacted in 1946 and revised in 1950. A livelihood protection system, which is a core of Japan's public assistance, has been applied for more than half a century. However, the livelihood protection system has never been effected a drastic reform. The system has not properly been adjusted to social changes such as aging population, declining birthrate, and structural changes in household and employment status. Due to the imperfection of Japan's social security system, the livelihood protection system has performed a function of all the last safety-net. This paper aims at explaining actual conditions of the livelihood protection in Osaka City and its influencing factors. The analysis is carried out by using municipal district data. To explain the cause of the high rate of livelihood protection in Osaka City may have an important meaning for considering improvements and reform of the Japanese livelihood protection system.

Melville acquired the knowledge of Gnosticism in 1849, when he bought Dictionnaire historique et critique [The Historical and Critical Dictionary] by Pierre Bayle. Gnosticismmay have helped Melville unlock the door to a realm beyond the wall or the realm hidden behind the mask, the hidden knowledge. According to Foucault, knowledge in the ages from enlightenment to (post-) modernism was not so much truth or untruth as control and possession, in short, hegemonic power. Melville's attraction to Gnosticism is unsurprising if we recall that he possessed and was possessed with knowledge, but dispossessed of power (unpopular in literary circles) and destitute as a consequence. Curiously, however, the author allowed Pierre to nearly become a member of the mysterious mock-commune presided over by Plinlimmon, the man who happens to have the same given name as the third century anti-Gnostic, Plotinus. This paper tries to clarify (1) what factor(s) impel(s) Pierre to accept Isabel's /Plinlimmon's (anti-)Gnostic influence, (2) the direction in which Pierre finally goes, and (3) the pessimistic message, or oracle if you like, that Melville tries to transmit through Pierre's abrupt suicide, the nullification of his progress towards possible liberation for himself and his half-sister. Pierre is snugly bathed in "the brilliant chandeliers of the mansion of Saddle Meadow" as an inheritor-to-be. Pierre unknowingly follows the mode a white male (is forced to) make[s], the mode that perpetually (de)stabilizes his subject position, with recourse to false reality/ identity perception and / or reality/ identity fabrication. Pierre is too embarrassed to stay calm after hearing Isabel recount her life story. He tries to regain his subject position by stealing and lying beneath the "Terror Stone" or the "Memnon Stone" of the Delphi Omphalos (the "navel," or center of the world, in Greek). From there, Pierre says to Isabel, "[T]ell me every thing and any thing. I desire to know all." His burning desire for knowledge about Isabel's identity has a great deal to do with Foucauldian power-compared knowledge. As the intimacy with Isabel deepens, Pierre loses his subjective authority and veers towards Isabel, the representation of Gnosticism. Isabel appears in the occult atmosphere and misuses esotericism/ Gnosticism as an alternative to orthodox Christianity, leaving Pierre with an impression of epiphany, and thus prompting him to lean toward Gnosticism. Under her influence, he debunks his deceased father's genteel middle-class image, dethroning him to the equivalent of Demiurge. Moreover, Pierre is a symbolic look-alike of Simon Magus, the founder of Gnostic heresy, in gleaning inspiration from a suspicious (licentious) woman, Isabel (as Simon does from Helen(a)/Sophia). Imitating the Gnostic and dethroning his Demiurgeous father, Pierre flagrantly compares himself to "the heavenbegotten Christ" and falls into the fallacy of becoming the Demiurge or anti- God. Pierre happens to read a lecture pamphlet allegedly written by Plinlimmon and relapses again into the Anglo-European-centric mentality. This retreat is incited by Plinlimmon, the mysterious man whose surname sounds like Memnon (recalling the Memnon Stone that lies, according the Greek, in the center of the earth) and who shares the same given name as the anti-Gnostic Plotinus. Thus, Plinlimmon, the blue-eyed anti-Gnostic, is a stark opposite to Isabel, the "dark, olive cheek[ed]" (46) pro-Gnostic. Seen from another angle, this implies that Pierre, the nineteen-year-old preparing for initiation into mature adult life, desperately needs knowledge and mock-Messiahs to prop him up. The opposite two, the pro-Gnostic Isabel and the anti-Gnostic Plinlimmon, merge in Pierre's psyche. This is not necessarily to say that Pierre retreats to his starting point. Pierre holds himself so as not to entirely commit himself to the community provided over by Plinlimmon, the mock-utopia of sorts with its potential to change into a radically violent group. Pierre breaks this apparent vicious circle by taking poison from the bosom of Isabel. Thus, it turns out that unlike Foucault, Pierre exposes the inefficiency of Western knowledge, and that unlike Derrida and Levinas, Pierre exposes his pessimistic view about the futility of seeking (a) Messiah(s) in other being(s). He finally realizes that he is heading for a postmodern nowhere where one cannot or should not expect epiphany of a Messiah. In Pierre, Melville warned of the futility of Messiah-seeking. Melville could textually allow Pierre to solve his Messiah problem, but the author could not solve his own Messiah problem, the problem attributed to his traumatic experience of being virtually deserted by Hawthorne, the object of his love and worship.

This paper aims to shed light on social changes of 1970s and 80s Japan by researching social studies of those days on credential society and credentialism and surveying social consciousness and behaviors associated with them. First, reviewing a introductory book published in 1977 by a journalist and academic papers written in the early 80s by educational sociologists, I show that they were outcomes of establishing of credential society. Second, rethinking findings of researches conducted in the late 70s which tried to find eufunctions of credential society and to inquire again evidences of credentialism, I show that they more deeply reflected actual conditions of credential society and credentialism. Third, reviewing some books published in the 70s and 80s which were critical responses to credentialism and surveying social consciousness and behaviors in the 80s which were critical or negative responses to credentialism, I show that there were contradictory trends in social changes relating to credential society and credentialism in the 80s.

Resona Bank reimbursed the public fund in June 2015 which had been injected in March 1999. The capital to asset ratio of the bank had been less than 4% which was the minimum requirement for running domestic banking business. The main purpose of the injection was to keep the stability of the financial system by preventing a big bank from collapsing. After the injection the bank restructured their business and accumulated reserves for repayment. But it took more than 16 years to reimburse the public fund. Tax payers had incurred a risk of loss for such a long time. It should be evaluated whether the public injection into Resona Bank was useful in terms of the stability of the financial system. After 2006 the public fund has been injected into some of the regional banks under the new act and scheme. Its original aim was to support a disposal of the non-performing loans of the regional financial institutions and to promote an integration of them. But the original aim faded away through the two revisions due to the Lehman Shock and the East Japan Great Earthquake. As a result the aim of the act and the scheme has been changed to provide regional financial institutions some resource to sustain their lending to the SMEs that were suffering from the economic downturn. In reality the act and the scheme have become a measure to rescue an individual financial institution itself rather than to keep the stability of the regional financial system. It is important to re-consider a meaning of the public fund injection. A loss of the fund will be finally incurred by tax payers. Most of remote areas in Japan have a few serious economic problems such as an aging population and deindustrialization. It will finally result in a contraction of financial business there. The regional financial institutions are required to supply a risk money and offer a highly professional business consultation to their clients. They need to strengthen themselves in both finance and management for the future. The public fund should be utilized to promote an integration of regional financial institutions rather than to help their independence as an individual entity.

Senior residents of public housing in Japan-the fastest aging society in the world-experience different life challenges from those of private housing. What are the living conditions and characteristics of such seniors in public housing ? This study compares the lives of senior citizens in public housing built 40 years ago and those in private housing in a district of Osaka. We conducted surveys, sponsored by the municipal district, with seniors living there between October 2010 and June 2011. For this paper, we analyzed the data from marginal and semi-marginal villages there: the totals of 178 responses from seniors in public housing and of 413 responses in private housing. Compared with seniors in private housing, seniors living in public housing show significantly 1) poorer health conditions and 2) less frequent communication with their family. In addition, significantly fewer of them 3) participate in community activities such as festivals and senior clubs, 4) have daily recreational activities like hobbies and learning activity programs, and 5) feel satisfied with their everyday life. The results 3), 4), and 5) are due to the large number of senior males living alone in older public housing; these are shared characteristics of solitary senior males in the entire district. To conclude, the findings suggest that it is important to encourage seniors to engage in community networking and participate in social activities. A more active social life may help mitigate suffering caused by accidents, disease, and natural disasters.

In the process of learning a language, students naturallymake errors. The purpose of the present study is to examine the mechanism by which Japanese learners of English make errors, and how teachers of English should deal with the errors our students make in the classroom. First, we will look briefly at the language development of both young native speakers of English and classroom learners of English as a foreign language, with a special reference to errors they make in the process of learning. In the case of the latter, it should be noted that their errors mainly come from overgeneralization and negative transfer from their native language. We will then consider two approaches to the handling of learners'errors. In the Audio-lingual approach,errors are bad habits that should be corrected as soon as possible. The communicative approach, on the other hand, urges teachers totake a flexible attitude toward grammatical errors, especially local ones. Finally, we will examine Hendrickson's (1978) five crucial questions aboutcorrective feedback: (1) Should learners' errors be corrected ? (2) When should learners' errors be corrected ? (3) Which errors should be corrected ? (4) How should errors be corrected ?(5) Who should do the correcting ? Special attention will also be paid to implicit vs. explicit and input-providing vs. output-prompting ways of giving corrective feedback.

The Babad Tanah Jawi (Meinsma edition) mentions Mt. Merapi 10 times, of which the first4 cases constitute a series of stories culminating in a battle at Prambanan between Pajang andMataram. From the story we find that Mt. Merapi houses spirits that originate from the sameancestor as that of the Mataram kings, that Mt. Merapi and human society correspond with eachother, that Mt. Merapi to the north of the Mataram kingdom seems to be an equal partner of theSouthern Sea as protector of the kingdom, and lastly that the ruler of the spirits of Mt. Merapi is,however, not mentioned in the babad, unlike Ratu Rara Kidul in the Southern Sea, who isdescribed elaborately as the protector of the kingdom.

This paper reports the current situation of the advance of Chinese national farms in Russia. According to the material, this movement is regarded as the result of the surplus labor in Chinese rural area. It can also be attributed to the result of Chinese securing foods. The advance into the Republic of Kazakhstan is reported as well. Roles of the government, national farms and the family business are regarded as follows; Family business actors are the agents of the advance and management. They have at least over 33.3ha farms, some have about thousands Mu. They usually have as large as 10-100 times of those in domestic farms. National farms act as the association of the advance and the contractor of land lease. Government sector negotiates and seals agreements with the counter countries for the advance. The material also illustrated the following problems; Russian side has problems such as 1) collapsed agricultural infrastructure after the end of Soviet Union, 2) strict policy of the custom and immigrant office and difficulties in obtaining the visa, 3) difficulties in seeking productive tools, 4) Russian's hostile attitude that regarding China as "threat," 5) difficulties in sales in the far east of Russia and so on. Chinese side has problems such as 1) individual farms' financial shortage of development funds, 2) jumps of importing costs (cheaper cost of producing in Russia loses its merit because of the high tariff,) and so on. To solve these problems, the material insisted the steps such as government's positive action, non-profitable insurance, and advantageous tariff for imported agricultural products from Russia, low interest funds for the family business farms and their workers.
