What is the sacred place? What constitutes the sacred place as a place or space? This essay aims to approach these questions by examining the nature of sacred place as a place focusing on its placeness.    Contemporary literature on sacred place tends to deal with sacred places, as if they have no connectivity to everyday life surrounding it, paying attention to its religious aspect. With all due respect for the theoretical value of this approach, however, isn't it rather the case that sacred place is something that is constructed through and by the relationship between agents who have a variety of interests including religious one in the sacred place? Isn't it legitimate to ask whether the very fact that a given place remains to be sacred place needs some social conditions that are not necessarily religious in nature?    Based on the field study at BodhaGaya India, I would argue that the construction of sacred place as a place cannot be explained away just by its religious element and a sociologically rich and comprehensive understanding of a given sacred place requires an inquiry into its past record----especially the record that is reserved as memories and narratives of the people that have historical relationship with the sacred place----which tend to be ignored when too much stress is given to generally accepted self evident official narrative on the sacred place.

The Nagasaki Coal Mine Technology Training Center was established following the closure of Matsushima Coal Mine Co. Ltd. in November 2001. A part of mining concession area formerly owned by Matsushima Coal Mine was then purchased to be used as training facilities. The training program is focused on transfer of coal mine technology, and conducted by NEDO (New Energy and Industrial Technology Development Organization). The objectives of the training program is to promote the transfer of technology on underground coal mining to engineers from coal producing countries such as China, Indonesia, and Vietnam. For these countries, the technology will serve as valuable tool to face changes that will likely occur in near future. These changes include a shift in mining method from open cut to underground mining, or deterioration in mining conditions as mining locations become deeper and deeper. Through the technological cooperation and transfer of Japan's coal mining technology, efforts were made to achieve the stable coal supply-demand in Asian region and stable supply of foreign coal to Japan.

Objective: Many patients in Kagawa University Hospital are administered medicines prepared by the simple suspension method.  Pharmacists in charge of these patients receive inquiries from doctors and nurses regarding the suitability of medicines for the simple suspension method.  Answering these inquiries is complicated and time-consuming as multiple data sources need to be searched.  In order to simplify these complicated procedures, we herein attempted to develop a novel database to provide valuable information that could contribute to the safe performance of the simple suspension method, and evaluated its usefulness.Method: The specifications of the database were determined by analyzing previously answered inquiries.  To evaluate the usefulness of the database, we used test prescriptions and compared the amount of time required to gather information using the database and the conventional method, i.e., using books alone.  We also analyzed previous prescriptions with the database in order to determine what kinds of problems could be detected.Results: The investigation of previous prescriptions indicated that some medicines needed to be examined not only for their suitability for the simple suspension method, but also their incompatibility.  Therefore, we added a feature regarding the incompatibility of medicines to the database.  The time required to gather the information needed to answer the test prescription was shorter with our database than with the conventional method.  Furthermore, the database improved the detection of medicines that require particular attention for their properties including incompatibility.  An analysis of previous prescriptions using our database indicated the possibility of incompatibility in half of the previous prescriptions examined.Conclusion: Our database could rapidly provide information related to the simple suspension method, including the incompatibility of medicines.

Serial arsonists (N=125) were differentiated into four groups on the basis of their social independence and the degree of criminality, by using categorical principal components analysis (CATPCA). Results indicated the following. (1) Arsonists with high social independence and high criminality were aged 40 years or more in age, did not live with their parents, and tended to have criminal records for theft. (2) Arsonists with high social independence and low criminality were most frequently employed, high school graduates, married, and had no criminal record. Moreover, there were more female and mental patients in this group compared with other groups. (3) Arsonists with low social independence and high criminality were all male, compulsory education level (including high school dropouts), unmarried, not living with parent(s), and had no criminal record of theft. These arsonists tended to have relatively no criminal record of arson compared with other groups. (4) Arsonists with low social independence and low criminality were the youngest among four groups and were aged between 10 and 30 years, unmarried, lived with their parent(s), and had no criminal record. Results of log-linear analysis indicated that arsonists with high social independence tended to use a car or walk to the crime scene, whereas those with low social independence were inclined to use a bicycle. Moreover, arsonists with high criminality records tended to prepare the medium for arson in advance and drink alcohol before the offence, whereas arsonists with low criminality had a tendency to set fire to the same place repeatedly.

2011年3月11日に発生した東北地方太平洋沖地震及び,それにより発生した津波によって東京電力福島第一原子力発電所(以下,福島原発)は大きな被害を受け,環境中に多量の放射性核種を放出した.その影響で関東地方においても高濃度の放射性セシウム(134Cs,137Cs)が大気中でも検出された.本研究では大気粒子状物質(APM)に着目し,神奈川県における福島原発事故由来の放射性セシウムを長期的に観測することで,APM中の放射性セシウム濃度の経時変化並びに,大気環境中における放射性セシウムの存在形態について検討した.その結果,大気中の放射性セシウムの放射能濃度は2011年3月から2011年9月にかけて105分の1にまで減少したものの,その後は緩やかな減少にとどまり,2014年3月時点でも1.0 × 10-5 Bq m-3の放射能が検出されていることが明らかとなった.大気環境中における放射性セシウムの存在形態については,粘土鉱物中に強く固定されてしまう土壌中の放射性セシウムとは異なり,水溶性成分のものが50% 以上の割合を占め,土壌等のほかの環境中の放射性セシウムに比べ移動能が高いことが分かった.

It has recently been suggested that yogic philosophy provides a model for occupational therapy and that meditation and pranayama (yogic breathing exercises) can facilitate occupational performance. This literature review was undertaken to determine whether there is any evidence to support the use of pranayama to facilitate occupational performance. A literature search using AMED, BNI, CINAHL, HMIC, Medline and Old Medline for the term `pranayama', limited to English language human research uncovered seven articles clinically applicable to occupational performance. The evidence suggests pranayama can influence, arousal, metabolism and exercise tolerance. Slow alternate nostril breathing should be considered when anxiety impairs occupational performance, and right nostril breathing should be considered for obesity, lethargy, and symptoms of hypothyroidism or similar metabolic disorders that inhibit function. Further research is required for evidence-based application of other pranayama techniques.

The study of plants contributed to establishment of the foundation for modern biology. For example, it was observations first made in plants that led to two fundamental theories of biology—cell theory and genetics. Throughout the 20th century, plant biology continued to make contributions to the conceptual and technological advances in basic biology and biotechnology, although plant biology's contributions were not always recognized by the field of biology at large. Plants have direct applications to today's major societal challenges including food security, climate change, energy, and sustainability. Solutions to these challenges require innovative technologies that are solidly based on science.

Although the intake of carbohydrates is important for the supplementation of energy substrate utilized during exercise, fat oxidation is possibly prevented by an elevation of insulin, and whether or not the timing of the intake of meals affects energy metabolism during exercise has not been clarified. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of the timing of the intake of meals taken at different times before exercise on the carbohydrate and fat metabolism during aerobic exercise. The subjects were eight young trained athletes who performed cycling exercise at the lactate threshold (LT) intensity for 60 min. They performed under five conditions consisting of a no-meal (water) trial, and four meal trials that had a normal meal at 1, 2, 3, and 4 h before the exercise. There were no significant changes for any trial in respiratory exchange ratio, or carbohydrate or fat oxidation rates during exercise. The serum insulin level before exercise in the meal trials was more elevated, the shorter the time to the start of the exercise from meal intake. A tendency for higher blood glucose was shown during exercise with a shorter interval time in the meal trials. No alterations were demonstrated for the serum free fatty acids in any of the groups. These results showed that the timing of the pre-exercise meal taken within a 4-h period before exercise did not affect the energy metabolism of the trained subjects during exercise at LT intensity.
