The sign steeling in baseball is the observing and relaying of signs given by the opposing catcher to the pitcher, and this illegal action is reported frequently. The purpose of this study was to research the existing situations in Japanese high school baseball, and to investigate the coaches and players attitude to sign steeling.   A questionnaire survey was conducted on 258 university male students who belonged to baseball club when they were high school students. The main contents of survey were following; highest competitive result, presence or absence of experience of sign steeling, effectiveness of sign steeling, and attitude to sign steeling of coaches and players.   As a result, 85 out of 258 students carried out sign stealing (32.9%), and 74 out of 85 students answered that it was effective (87.0%). There is no significant relationship between competitive result and experience of sign steeling, therefore sign steeling was carried out at any competitive level. We conducted a Chi-square test and the results revealed significant relationship between the attitude to sign steeling of coaches and the experiences of sign steeling (p<0.01). These results indicated that the sign steeling in Japanese high school baseball can be reduced by coaches’ attitude to prohibition against sign steeling.

The 3D packing structures of the microcrystals in framboidal pyrite have been studied through morphological examinations and crystallographic orientation analysis to understand the self-organization process. The structures are divided into (i) face-centered cubic, (ii) icosahedral and (iii) random packings. The detailed crystallography of pyrite framboids is characterized by high-angle (∼90°) misorientations shown by about a half of the microcrystals in a framboid. This means that the crystallographic orientation of microcrystals is not uniform even in highly ordered framboids, suggesting that their self-organization process is not crystallographically controlled, but occurs by the physical rotation of individual microcrystals.

Recently, pelvic floor muscle training has become popular not only in health magazines but also in women’s magazines, on television and on social networking services. The pelvic floor muscles are difficult to visually confirm movement of in a clothed situation, making it difficult to get a sense of muscle contraction; and, thus, there are many cases of incorrect training leading to pelvic floor dysfunction, including urinary incontinence and pelvic organ prolapse, and significant reduction of quality of life and healthy life expectancy. Therefore, the ability of instructors to teach appropriate pelvic floor muscle training is an important key to the prevention and improvement of pelvic floor dysfunction. The purpose of this review is to understand the functional anatomy and motor function of the pelvic floor muscles and to disseminate evaluation and training practices for preventing and improving pelvic floor dysfunction such as urinary incontinence and pelvic organ prolapse.

We applied tracer transport simulations using Taiwan vector vorticity equation cloud-resolving model (TaiwanVVM) to evaluate the effects of the local circulation associated with the lee vortex and the planetary boundary layer development on the transport and accumulation of the pollutants on a diurnal time scale in central Taiwan. The wind directions of crucial synoptic northeast monsoon are idealized as the initial conditions of the simulations to examine the impact of the lee vortex on the pollutants transport. The primary local non-traffic emission sources are taken as the tracer emission sites so that the experiment results could be a good proxy of the realistic scenarios. With the local circulation over complex topography being resolved explicitly, the impact of the boundary layer development on the tracer transport of the Puli basin is discussed. The simulation results clarify the contribution of the sea breeze and the lee vortex to the tracer transport in central Taiwan. We conclude that high tracer concentration at Puli at night is due to the tracer being trapped by the thinning of the mixed layer depth in the evening. The sensitivity of the local tracer transport to the change of the synoptic wind direction shows that under northeasterly due east (due north) environment, the pollutant transports from the southern source (northern source) of central Taiwan are most likely to induce high concentration in Puli at night. This is the first study to distinguish the contribution of the sea breeze and the lee vortex in pollutants transport in Taiwan. The results obtained from idealized experiments provide the possible mechanism of pollutants transport, which could be taken as an insight to interpret the observations and guide the design of field experiment to further establish the fundamental principles of the pollution transports in central Taiwan.

In recent years, regional migration has become an important policy theme in Japan from the perspectives of correcting the concentration of population in Tokyo and regional revitalization. Based on the previous studies, not only public policies and institutions but also the “social capital” of the destination region and migrants are considered important to promote migration and support migrants. On the other hand, fans and supporters of community-based professional sports clubs have high social capital, suggesting that they may play a new public role as social public goods. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to examine the use of J. League clubs to promote immigration and support immigrants. Based on interviews with people who have immigrated to rural areas and people involved with J. League clubs, etc., it was considered that the following elements are important to promote and support migration: “community” and “human resources” to connect migrants to local informal networks, and “place” and “content” to expand such opportunities. In particular, the problem is how to procure communities and human resources with “bridging social capital”. On the other hand, it was suggested that supporters of J. League clubs and their communities have bridging social capital, which could be a potential management resource for the development of migration support mechanisms. Based on the above findings and analysis, the authors proposed a “J. League Clubs’ Authorized Welcome Café”, operated in collaboration with J. League Clubs, supporters, and local governments to promote regional migration and support migrants at the “Sports Policy for Japan 2020”, a conference on sports policy conducted by university students held in November 2020. The café will be a “place where anyone can stop by casually”, including not only soccer fans but also local residents and prospective immigrants. If the social capital of J Club supporters can function as a “bridge”, such cafes have the potential to reach a wide range of people. One of the important findings of this study is the potential of J-club fans/supporters to become a management resource for the community when viewed from the perspective of social capital. These findings may be applicable not only to the promotion of migration, but also to the solution of various local issues.

In recent years, social demands and academic interest in the environmental and social contribution activities of professional sports clubs have increased. This is due to the spread of the idea that building good relationships with various stakeholders is essential for clubs to enhance their corporate value. However, it is not easy for professional sports clubs to continuously implement sustainable environmental initiatives (ESI) due to the financial burden. It is unclear to what extent consumers are aware of the ESI implemented by professional sports clubs and how much they are willing to spend afterwards, and there are no studies on ESI by professional sports clubs in Japan. Furthermore, it is significant and extremely important to clarify the results of ESI conducted by professional sports clubs on their teams from a marketing perspective. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to clarify the relationship between consumer attitudes and behavioral intentions toward professional sports clubs that conduct ESI. To achieve the objective, stakeholder theory and social identity theory are applied as a theoretical background to examine the impact of perceived ESI on intention to support a club and intention to attend a game. Data were obtained from a sample that included potential as well as existing consumers, and it was found that the perception of ESI influenced the intention to support a club and the intention to attend a game. The results of the multiple-group structural equation modeling revealed that the perception of ESI influenced the intention to support a club and the intention to attend a game, even among consumers who had no experience of attending a game. In the future, it will be necessary to elucidate the mechanism and causal relationship by which the perception of ESI enhances intentional loyalty, through what kind of psychological process.

We examined the effects of citric acid and L-carnitine administration on physical fatigue. In a double-blind, placebo-controlled, 3-way crossover study, 18 healthy volunteers were randomized to oral citric acid (2,700 mg/day), L-carnitine (1,000 mg/day), or placebo for 8 days. The fatigue-inducing physical task consisted of workload trials on a cycle ergometer at fixed workloads for 2 h on 2 occasions. Before the physical load, salivary chromogranin A, measured as a physiological stress marker, was lower in the group given citric acid than in the group given placebo. Also, after the physical load, the subjective feeling of fatigue assessed with a visual analogue scale was lower in the citric acid group than in the placebo group. In contrast, L-carnitine had no effect on chromogranin A or subjective fatigue. These results suggest that citric acid reduces physiological stress and attenuates physical fatigue, whereas L-carnitine does not.

Dispositionalism of color claims that colors are dispositions to cause certain sorts of visual experiences in perceivers. Lately, this theory has been criticized as conflicting with the phenomenology of color experiences. Critics insist that our visual experiences represent colors not as dispositional properties, but as simple, monadic, intrinsic features of physical objects, and that this poses a serious threat to dispositionalism. First, I will examine four versions of this kind of objection and defend dispositionalism against them. Second, based on these considerations, I will explicate the notion of ‘certain sorts of visual experiences' that dispositionalists refer to. More specifically, I will offer a promising view of color experiences through examining the phenomenon of color constancy.

本稿はまず合理主義と経験主義の対立を明らかにし,本来,その両者が相互に影響を及ぼしあって社会システムに関する認識の地平が拡大していくことを主張する.その上で近年の経営学的研究の見取り図を作成し,〈極端な実証主義〉的バイアスの位置づけを明確にする.さらに,そのバイアスの源泉あるいは促進要因として,①経営学研究に関する存在論・認識論的な見取り図の欠如,②文献研究否定運動,③経済学者の経営学領域への侵入,④大学院大学化が指摘される.

A 79-year-old man was admitted with a compression fracture of the first lumbar vertebra. His alkaline phosphatase (ALP) level was 35 IU/L, and his dual energy X-ray absorptiometry T score was -3.7 standard deviations, indicating osteoporosis. A genetic analysis showed a mutation of the alkaline phosphatase biomineralization-associated gene encoding tissue-nonspecific alkaline phosphatase. Hypophosphatasia-related osteoporosis was diagnosed. Alendronate, teriparatide, and minodronate were administered in that order. The ALP level increased during teriparatide use. A bone biopsy performed after three years of teriparatide treatment showed that cancellous bone was adynamic. In cortical bone, tetracycline double-labeling indicates enhanced bone formation. Teriparatide may thus be a viable treatment option even in patients with hypophosphatasia.
