美容やファッションについて語る際、カタカナ表記の外来語は、斬新さやおしゃれ感を出すために、今日なくてはならない存在になってしまった。「新しさ」と「かっこよさ」が命の美容の分野では、人々は外来語を用いなくては満足に語れないほど、外来語の浸透が目覚ましい。さらにそこでは、外来語は既存の同意語と住み分けするために、速い速度で意味や用法が進化する。最近の大きな言語変化のひとつにアクセントの平板化がある。従来起伏型で発音されていた外来語が、平板型で発音され出したのだ。この現象は美容分野に限られたものではないが、カタカナ語が氾濫する美容分野を例として観察することによって、その実態を部分的にでも把握したいと考えた。「専門家アクセント」とも呼ばれる平板アクセントへの移行はどれほど進んでいるのだろうか。そしてそれは何を意味しているのだろうか。

Objectives: To investigate the validity and relative and absolute reliability of the Running Anaerobic Sprint Test (RAST) in ama teur soccer players. Design: Cross-sectional experimental design with an element of repeated measures. Methods: Twenty three males completed the RAST on two occasions and a Wingate test (WAnT) as criterion measure of anaero bic power. Results: Criterion validity for the RAST was strong for peak power (r = 0.70, p < 0.001) and average power (r = 0.60, p = 0.002); however, the RAST significantly underestimated peak power compared to WAnT. The RAST showed very good relative reli ability for average power, ICC = 0.88 and good relative reliability for peak power, ICC = 0.72. Assessment of absolute reliability highlighted that although when averaged across a group, test and re-test scores will be similar, when monitoring individuals an individual’s retest score may range between 0.81 and 1.2 times the original value for peak power and between 0.9 and 1.16 for average power. Conclusion: The RAST is a practicable field test to estimate levels of average anaerobic power. However, the results show that the RAST is not sensitive enough to detect strongly individual changes below 20 % and is therefore not recommended to con tinually monitor an individual’s anaerobic power. Also, if true measures of peak power are required the RAST test is limited.

This paper introduces the Nestorian Stone Pillar "discovered" in Luoyang, Henan Province, China in 2006, and also introduces the present state of research on this object. Also included is a discussion of the pillar and its value in the history ofcultural negotiation. Nestorianism entered China during the Tang Dynasty, which can be interpreted as a concrete example of cultural negotiation in East Asia. Information concerning the recent discovery of this new historical source needs to bemade available to the world of Cultural Negotiation Studies and incorporated asshared knowledge. This pillar has two inscriptions ‒ Daqin jingjiao xuanyuan zhiben jing 大秦景教宣元至本経 and Jingchuangji 経幢記 ‒ the second inscription being of great value inthe fi eld of cultural negotiation. It attests to the presence of a Nestorian Temple, Nestorianism being a branch of Christianity, at the beginning of the ninth century in Luoyang: the name of the temple was Daqinsi 大秦寺. It also attests to the presence of Sogdian who served as the priests at the Luoyang Daqinsi. It also suggests that there was group of Nestorian Sogdian living in Luoyang. It fi nally attests to the presence of a settlement of Sogdian outside of Luoyang during the Tang Dynasty.

The purposes of this study are to construct an addiction tendency scale and investigate the relationship between addiction tendency and mental health, emptiness, and self-esteem. On the basis of factor analyses with 36 items, an addiction tendency scale with three subscales has been constructed. Factor 1 is "feelings of indispensability", factor 2 is "loss of control", and factor 3 is "bad influence on interpersonal relationships and social life". To investigate the psychological background of addiction, subjects were classified into two groups: high addiction group and low addiction group. This result of t tests indicate that the high addiction group had a greater feeling of emptiness than the low addiction group. This result suggests that addiction may arise from efforts to satisfy such emptiness or to achieve a sense of fulfillment by "using" a person, substance, or behavior.

The human circadian system derives from two distinct circadian oscillators that separately regulate circadian rhythms of body temperature and plasma melatonin, and of the sleep-wake cycle. The oscillator for body temperature and melatonin is the central circadian pacemaker, located in the hypothalamic suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN), and the oscillator for sleep-wake cycle is another oscillator, located in the brain but outside the SCN. Although bright light is a primary zeitgeber for circadian rhythms, non-photic time cues such as a strict sleep schedule and timed physical exercise act as a non-photic zeitgeber for the sleep-wake cycle under dim light conditions, independent on the SCN circadian pacemaker. Recently, timed physical exercise under bright light has been shown to accelerate re-entrainment of circadian rhythms to an advanced sleep schedule. Physical exercise may enhance the phase-shift of circadian rhythm caused by bright light by changing light perception. In the field of sports medicine and exercise science, adjustment of the circadian rhythm is important to enable elite athletes to take a good sleep and enhance exercise performance, especially after inter-continental travel and jet lag.
