As Azuma (2008) found in the case of electoral assistance in Afghanistan, theinternational community failed to establish sustainable government by introducingtoo quickly western value-based democratic elections. This was due mainly to timeconstraints as well as the US Bush administration's intervention. This study examinesempirical cases of electoral assistance in LDCs, with a particularly focus on East Timor.To date many electoral studies have been undertaken that focus on voter behaviour aswell as party politics. However, using statistical data, such as the total vote, voting agepopulation, voters' registration and invalid votes, a comprehensive analysis of electoralassistance, which is a rarity, has been carried out. Electoral support by the UN, as partof its development assistance, is becoming both more topical as well as crucial andin the development studies field. Since the UN's Namibia mission in 1989 electoralassistance has expanded rapidly in terms of its budget and breadth of its mission. Thisstudy examines six cases of electoral assistance in East Timor, as case studies in PostConflict society. However, such efforts may be offset by an environment of pre-maturedemocratization, including a lack of economic development, effective governance andcivil society backed by a long history of democratic development. This study revealsthat electoral assistance only, without other comprehensive development assistance,will bring about a disastrous outcome, as has been the case in East Timor. It is atypical failed state resulting from the lack of ability of East Timorese themselves aswell as the absence of long term assistance from the international community.

This paper discloses the development of the improved Bouc-Wen model which captures the behavior of the rate dependent hysteresis of a piezoelectric actuator. The basic form of the Bouc-Wen model only exhibits symmetric hysteresis loop for a sinusoidal input with no DC offset, whereas the real world bi-morph type actuator occasionally exhibits asymmetric loop for the same stimuli. The present works also proposes the integration of the FIR filter to the model to capture phase lag caused by the structural oscillation of the actuator. Comparison of the modeling accuracy has been given with our recent work of adaptive Preisach model. The result shows that accuracy of the two models are almost the same but the intrinsic difference lies in the number of parameters to be determined to form a computable model: the proposed model has only 25 parameters whereas the adaptive Preisach model includes 5050 discretized distribution function values to establish a single model.

論文One of the crucial problems in contemporary philosophy of history is to determine which is more relevant-historical explanation or historical understanding. Writers on this question may be divided into three types- (1) Idealists, (2) Covering-law theorists, and (3) Reactionists, as M. Mandelbaum has summed them up. I think the only possible approach, in current theoretical arguments, is the third one, which accepts, besides explanation by covering-law, some sort of understanding, especially when it is concerned with a more complicated account of human actions. It does not neccessarilly follow, however, that understanding is a peculiar way of historical inquiry rather than a kind of provisionary account which has still to be 'filled out' by some more rigorous explanation. Historians surely try not just to describe the given events, but to explain them. Thus, 'understanding' might be said to lie in the middle of 'description' and 'explanation'; historians would first describe the events as they were given, and then by attempting to answer the 'why' of these events they would proceed to 'understand' them, and finally when this 'why' could be answered objectively such an 'understanding' might be replaced by an 'explanation.' This, is basically the same in all areas of scientific inquiry of which history may be a rather incomplete one. Thus, the other several kinds of historical explanations, which are supposed to be peculiar to history according to W. Dray and others, would be after all reduced to the Hempelian model of explanation. It is true that historians may seldom succeed in giving explanations as satisfactory as those of physicists, but this does not preclude historians from filling out their explanations. I suppose that the very process of this 'filling out' constitutes progress in the field of historical studies. Scientific explanation is merely a logical instrument of our historical thinking, and need not be extended to a problem of, say, historical perspective, which is surely open to the philosophy of history.

The aim of this study is analyzing the process of making up a teaching method for regional geography education on Kanichi Kagawa, which includes his practices, to make clear fundamental principles of teaching method.The contents of this paper are as follows;I. IntroductionII. The essence of theory and practice for regional geography education on Kanichi KagawaIII. The process of making up a teaching method for regional geography educationIV. Analyzing the practice for the Chugoku District as a geographical education unit on Kanichi KagawaV. ConclusionThe Teaching method on Kanichi Kagawa has four specific features. The first is to be developed a original immediate map-drawing method. The second is to be developed a teaching model to make students look at geographical regions. The third is to be developed a new method to construct contents to introduce the theory for teaching geographical region. The fourth is to be developed a new method to divide the geographical region in Japan for making up subject matter unit.

Mental and physical imbalances are sometimes reflected by abnormal behaviour and cause the diseases, especially those with long latency like cancers. Thus, adjustment of these imbalances or approach of hypo- or hyper-function to normal levels is a most potent method for prevention of these disorders. In this paper, the results obtained in this laboratory on the effects of Sasa Health^<(R)>, a medicinal preparation from bamboo grass leaf extract (S), on behaviour and mammary tumourigenesis in mice are briefly reviewed. Spontaneous motor activity declined by gonadectomy was elevated by S. By contrast, the stimulation of activity by restricted feeding was significantly decreased by S. S also suppressed the development and growth of mammary tumours. Associated with these, S modulated plasma and urine component levels, potentiated thymic immune function and superoxide dismutase activity and decreased plasma prolactin level. All findings revealed that S can normalize organisms through its modulation of general metabolism and stimulation of immune function, through which it modifies the behaviour and prevents mammary tumourigenesis. Based on body weight change and food and water intakes as well as external appearance, few deleterious side-effects of S was confirmed. Sasa Health^<(R)> is concluded to be a most potent and safe medicine for prevention and therapy of mental and physical disorders and, thus, for the maintenance of health, through its normalization effects.

ヒトサイトメガロウイルス (human cytomegalovirus: HCMV) の治療薬として,現在ガンシクロビル (GCV) とホスカルネット (PFA) が使用されているが,易感染性宿主の HCMV 感染症には,抗 HCMV 薬の長期投与が必要なため,薬物耐性 HCMV の出現が問題となっており,作用機序の異なる新たな治療薬の開発が求められている. 現在我々は,代替医療薬を中心に抗 HCMV 薬の探索を行っている.今回は,防腐作用や殺菌作用などがあることが知られているクマザサを用い,その抽出物に,抗 HCMV 効果があるか否かについて検討した.クマザサ抽出液をウイルス感染細胞に添加したところ,濃度依存的にウイルスの細胞変性効果が抑制され,ウイルス粒子産生にも抑制がみられた.また,リアルタイム RT-PCR 法および,ウエスタンブロット法による解析の結果,クマザサ抽出液によりウイルスの複製,増殖に重要な Major immediate early (IE) 遺伝子の発現に抑制がみられたことから,クマザサ抽出液は GCV とは異なる作用機序により抗 HCMV 効果をもつ可能性が示された.
