本研究では,ギフテッドの定義に当てはまる獣医学生が,どのくらい存在するのか,獣医学生52名にWAIS-Ⅳ知能検査を行った。「ギフテッド(gifted)」とは,優れた能力を示す人を言う。WAIS-Ⅳ知能検査の結果,全検査IQ,言語理解,知覚推理,ワーキングメモリー,処理速度のいずれか,もしくは複数の項目で,IQ130以上に到達している学生を,ギフテッド群とした。その結果,獣医学生52名中25名が,IQ130以上の「ギフテッド」と考えられた。ギフテッドは優れた能力と同時に「超活動性」(OE:Overexcitability)と呼ばれる敏感さを併せ持っている場合が多いことから,獣医学生に,「ギフテッド」が高い確率で存在することは,それだけ心理的な支援が必要と考えられた。さらに,多くの獣医学生は自分の得意より,不得意を意識しがちであることから,得意を生かす教育が必要である。

On northern Japanʼs Hokkaido Island, wolves (Canis lupus) have been extinct for 100 years. As a result, the sika deer (Cervus nippon) population has increased in recent years, causing damage to agriculture and to the forestry and fisheries industries and leading to an increase in train and automobile traffic accidents. On the other hand, wolves live in Mongolia where stock-farming is the main livelihood. Yet nomadic livestock herders have coexisted with wolves for centuries. The main reason for this successful coexistence in the Mongolian steppes can be attributed to the nomadsʼ understanding of wolf ecology. This understanding has led to the development of ways for humans and apex predators to interact with one another in this ecosystem. We also discovered that livestock damage caused by wolves in Mongolia is minimal because there is sufficient prey (e.g., red deer) and because the wolves and their prey do not live in proximity to humans. We note there has never been a documented attack by a wolf on a human in Mongolia. Our investigation of the habitat of wolves in Hustai National Park (HNP) in Mongolia gave us a base of information to assess the challenges that might occur if wolves are reintroduced into Hokkaido. Based on our habitat assessment of the island, we were able to estimate the carrying capacity of wolves on Hokkaido. We concluded that Hokkaido Island can successfully support approximately 1300 wolves with a prey base of up to 100,000 sika deer.

The purpose of this study is to place the Russian game management system in five European game management models (Putman 2011). Furthermore, I examined the usefulness of Russian game management system for Japan. Russian game management system resembles to an European game area system of top-down approach. And the Russian government intervenes in the game management system directly. In addition, Far Eastern Agricultural University teaches practical and professional knowledge and technique to the students in collaboration with private sections and government to develop future human resources. Russian game management may system serves as a reference to promote Japanese sustained hunting resources (game meat and fur) and to construct the framework of new Japanese game management system.

In the present study, the distributions and dynamics of perchlorate in atmospheric and aquatic environment in and around Lake Toya, Hokkaido, Japan was investigated. The perchlorate concentrations in atmospheric aerosol were in the range of 0.03-0.21 ng/m^3 from july to October when the fireworks events are held every night, while those after the end of the events were less than the detection limit (< 0.01 ng/m^3). Since the firework events started in May, the perchlorate ware detected in the lake waters collected at the southern part of Lake Toya, while those before the beginning of the events ware less than the detection limit (< 0.33 μg/L). Especially, the concentrations of perchlorate in the lake water were observed locally in the range of 2-7 μg/L, which were exceeded the U.S. drinking water quality standard (2 μg/L). After the end of fireworks events, the perchlorate in lake water collected at lakeside could be observed in the range of 0.33-1.65 μg/L. In addition, perchlorate was detected in the range of 0.5-2.1 μg/L in waters collected around the center (Nakashima), the southern part (Takarada) and the downstream (Shinzan-numa) of the lake throughout the year. From these results, it was concluded that the fireworks is the main source of perchlorate around Lake Toya and the emitted perchlorate is wholly diffused in the water through the water circulation of Lake Toya. Furthermore, the perchlorate was detected in the water after the end of fireworks event, showing that perchlorate was detected in the water after the end of fireworks event, showing that perchlorate is resistant to decomposition in the aquatic environment.

The aim of present study was to identify what kind of formulation is appropriate for oral and intravenous nutritional infusion therapy in calves with diarrhea. In chapter 1 discussed the state of fluid therapy for calves with diarrhea in Japan, and noted the necessity of nutrient infusion. In chapter 2, the aim of present survey was to identify risk factors of laboratory findings for mortality in calves with diarrhea. A retrospective analysis was conducted utilizing medical records of 221 diarrheic calves. As a result, hypoglycemia (OR 3.09; 95% CI 1.22-7.87; p=0.02) and failure of respiratory compensation (OR 2.63; 95% CI 1.05-6.62; p=0.04) were the major risk factors associated with a negative outcome in diarrheic calves. Indeed, the addition of glucose to IV fluid solutions is widely used to provide energy, but malnutrition is serious problem in diarrheic calves with hypoglycemia. These results suggest that to consider the next step for nutritional management in diarrheic calves is important. In chapter 3 aimed to confirm necessity of amino acid supply in calves with diarrhea and respiratory diseases. As a result, the blood pH and plasma concentrations of total amino acids (TAA) and branched chain amino acids (BCAA) were significantly and negatively correlated in calves with diarrhea. In other words, acidemia activated the catabolism of protein. Similarly, the calves with Mycoplasma bronchopneumonia, a respiratory disease, were characterized by significantly lower in serum TAA and BCAA. These results indicated that supplying amino acids to diarrheic calves with acidemia and respiratory diseases with hyper inflammation state was important. In chapter 4, oral or intravenous nutrient infusions for diarrheic calves with different pathophysiology features were examined. In section 1, four different compositions of oral electrolyte solutions (OES) were prepared to test how differences in the composition of OES affect dehydration and prevent catabolism. Results of present study demonstrated that OES with high sodium (Na) concentration (100.1 mM) and the ratio of glucose (Glu) and glycine (Gly) to Na was 0.6 : 0.6 : 1.0 has effect of increasing the blood volume. On the other hand, OES with high Glu concentration (116.8 mM) and the ratio of Glu to Gly was 1.0 : 1.0 has catabolism prevention effect. This suggests that it is necessary to use these OES properly. The OES with high Na concentration should be used in the early stages of diarrhea for calves with dehydration and metabolic acidosis, but not in the later stages of exhaustion. The OES with high Glu concentration may beneficial for wasting diarrheic calves with dehydration. In section 2 evaluated the effects of solutions with or without dextrose intravenously administered to diarrheic calves, with beta-hydroxybutyrate (BHBA) concentrations as an index. As a result, the addition of dextrose to intravenous fluid solutions did not affect the correcting dehydration. In addition, catabolism prevention was observed only intravenous infusion of solution with dextrose. These results suggest that a solution with dextrose could be beneficial for wasting diarrheic calves. In section 3 assessed the advantages of dextrose and amino acid mixture solution as parenteral nutrition (PN) therapy for calves with Cryptosporidium parvum (C. parvum) diarrhea. Sixteen diarrheic calves were randomly assigned to receive PN (PPN group, n=8) or only dextrose solution (Dex group, n=8). Plasma diamine oxidase (DAO) activity in the PPN group at the end of infusion (118.3 ± 42.3 IU/mL) was significantly increased compared with that before fluid infusion (81.5 ± 25.8 IU/mL), but there were no significant differences in the Dex group. Increased plasma DAO activity indicated repair of the damaged intestine, as a result, the treatment period for the PPN group was significantly shorter than that for the Dex group. Our results suggested that not only dextrose but dextrose and amino acid mixture solution as PN therapy was recommended in calves with C. parvum diarrhea.The PN therapy has been widely used for humans, but it is not yet standard in large animal medical treatment. The present study demonstrated that the PN therapy could be beneficial for clinical use in calves with diarrhea based on scientific basis. The PN therapy in this study was economical and executable in clinical site. Future studies to examine the prescription of PN infusion solution with an amino acid ratio, lipid, vitamin and trace elements suitable for calf diarrhea are needed.
