Mitochondrial function is the key factor in the regulation of energy metabolism and is closely related to the generation and prevention of lifestyle-related diseases. We established a method to observe the opening of the mitochondrial permeability transition pore using fluorescence microscopy and permeabilized cardiomyocyte-derived H9c2 cells. After calcein loading and permeabilization of the cell membrane with digitonin, the cellular calcein fluorescence coincided with that of the mitochondrial fluorescent probe tetramethylrhodamine methylester. Elevation of extracellular Ca2+ concentration, which was accompanied by an increase in intramitochondrial Ca2+ concentration, induced a decrease in calcein fluorescence intensity. This decrease was inhibited by cyclosporine A, an inhibitor of mitochondrial permeability transition pore. Further, the decrease was inhibited by ruthenium red, an inhibitor of the mitochondrial uniporter, and enhanced by diltiazem, which inhibits the mitochondrial Na+-Ca2+ exchanger. The present imaging method would be useful for further studies on the regulation of mitochondrial function under physiological and various pathological conditions related to lifestyle-related diseases.

To investigate the association of the ownership of dog with health status, health-related QOL (SF-36), lifestyles (exercise habits, dietary habits, drinking, smoking), educational background, and family member were assessed for the main feeder of the dog and the non-breeders of the pet through internet. In addition, the breeding situation of the dog was examined for the main feeder of the dog. Each component summary score of SF-36 was examined between the main feeder of the dog and the non-breeders of the pet using 3different analytical models; model Ⅰ : non-adjusted U test, model Ⅱ : analysis of covariate adjusted for age and sex, model Ⅲ: analysis of covariate adjusted for age, sex, lifestyles, educational background, and family member. As the results, the main feeder of the dog showed significantly higher summary score of physical and role/social components than the non-breeders of the pet in every analytical model. This fact seemed to be due to the increased physical activity in daily life by walking with the dog. The summary score of mental component, however, was significantly higher in the non-breeders of the pet than that in the main feeder of the dog in model Ⅰ and Ⅱ, but not in model Ⅲ. These results suggested that the main feeder of the dog is in better health physically and socially due to daily dog walking.

Currently, the focus of the hairdressing industry is quality, and the highest priority is customer satisfaction with the need to provide the highest levels of technical skill and hospitality. Also, because the hairdressing industry, a service industry, is based on personal interactions, education has become a vital issue for the improvement of the industry’s quality. I believe that it is necessary to continually develop high quality education where hairdressing training takes place. My studies have been on the necessary means for this continuation.
Of the expected abilities of educators in hairdressing training, the ability to provide instruction and to evaluate education is important. The educator must be able to judge the effectiveness of the education and instruction quickly, to determine how a given learner should be instructed, and to put in place appropriate education and instruction.
To this end, how to evaluate the motivation, attitude, and ability of inexperienced or unskilled learners for technical mastery is important. From such evaluations, it will be possible to encourage the learner’s self-development to cultivate adaptability and creativity. But based on data analysis from technical evaluations, it will also be important to give clear instruction regarding the next learning goal for each learner and to create opportunities to improve motivation for learning. Based on this viewpoint, I developed an original technical evaluation system. The next step will be to improve this system.
The transfer of hairdressing skills and techniques is essentially through hand labor. As times change and the environment of the hairdressing industry changes dramatically, it is necessary for educators to work actively on adaptable hairdressing education and instruction that can respond to the changes in character and temperament of learners born and raised in the times. For this, instructing methods also need to evolve continually. Finally, I studied the necessity of technical guidelines for hairdressing education and hairdressing work. From this study, I plan to continue this work with the expectation that a new way of instruction will emerge.

To establish a teaching methodology for hairdressing techniques and to improve training for hairdressers, I studied the psychological interaction between the "teaching side" and the "learning side". Firstly, I looked at evaluation ability, one of the skills of the essential teaching quality of leadership, and considered it from both the teaching side and the learning side. Secondly, I divided the learning side into three levels according to winding ability and asked each about the psychological demands placed on them and about the teaching methodology. Finally, I considered the need for students to study psychological interactions before entering the hairdressing industry.

What are the expected capabilities of beauty skill educators?
I will discuss this question in light of my experience at a beauty salon and at an educational institution.
It is very important for beauty skill educators to be able to evaluate the education and guidance they provide to students. At any stage, if they cannot determine how effective or ineffective it is, they cannot provide the next stage of progress. At each stage, the educators must be able to make the evaluations immediately for each student, determine the succeeding tasks, and provide the appropriate education and guidance.
Such ability is dependent on how much experience is accumulated from locations of practical training. On the other hand, from an objective point of view, accumulating specific information from the practical training will enable concrete assessments of effectiveness or ineffectiveness of the education and guidance.
First, I will consider education and guidance that effectively improves student evaluations and performance.
For this, evaluating criteria for judging the effectiveness has become an important point. The evaluation criteria must be supported from a scientific basis. To do so, it is necessary within the possibilities bounded by limitations to continuously assess by numbers. Educators must then be able to clearly explain the reasons indicated by the numbers and to clarify the goals of the students. These capabilities must be enhanced. Those in charge of beauty skill education can fulfill their responsibility by having responsibility for “the effect of education and guidance.”

In this report, we propose educational contents necessary for home economics education and aimed motivation of learning to make lifelong handmade.
The students improved their skill of clothing making through classes, produced their works by themselves, and applied them to Welfare field. This also led them to confidence to make works again. In the cooking of everyday meals, I examined cuisine devised so that eaters can easily eat. As a result, the students enjoyed making cooking, and there is an opinion that they want to cook in the future, and the result of continuing learning has been obtained.
In this way, it is said that home economics education like “Otsuma” in Welfare field is an indispensable subject for students learning the lifelong continuing skills and entering society.

School activities with Paper Application developed Ricoh Japan were conducted at five general schools, six special needs schools, one nursery, and one after-school kids-club; paper aquarium and paper racer were used there. The pictures drawn by students were first scanned and projected onto a large screen with a projector. The motions of the scanned images like fishes and cars were automatically changed after the analyses of their shapes and colors. These two applications were used at students’ work-and-piece festival, school festival, lessons, and breaks at such 13 schools. Paper aquarium was used as an aquarium itself, but more wonderful uses like the background images for the students’ work-and-piece festival and the scenery of the classes’ plays at the school festival were produced. All the students enjoyed Paper Application very much in competition and cooperation with each other through finding a way to look for suitable shapes and colors of their pictures. The students with disabilities could also tackle with both the applications with joy. The students who were weak in drawing the pictures could take part in such activities nicely with a positive attitude and really enjoy the class activities, since in the applications the movements and speeds were not connected with the pictures drawn as being good and bad. At several schools, the activities were conducted at the arts and crafts classes and classes’ plays at the school festival; these deeply stimulated the teachers into courage to use Paper Application at the school.

First, this paper points out the originality of the ending of the section of spring in “Kyuan Hyakushu” by Sutokuin. Secondly, it explores the characteristic elements of his waka in the section of the four seasons. Those are the following: three elements from the aspect of “terminology and means of waka” and five elements from the aspect of Sutokuin’s concerns in the creation of waka. The latter elements appear to show the world of Sutokuin’s mind, where they interact with each other. Thirdly, it points out that in the section of love Sutokuin added love poems based on the knowledge of waka and kanshi (Chinese poetry) to the composition describing the process of love. In the section of love we can notice selfishness, which is not found in common love poems, aggressiveness and solitude behind servility. This paper also indicates how a waka that depicted the last process of love was revised by Fujiwara Shunzei and included in “Hyakunin Isshu.”

To identify current challenges and to review the educational curriculum for improving menu planning ability of students, we analyzed 459 menus submitted as part of menu planning assignments for both “Food Service Management Practice I” (mid-July 2012) and “Food Service Management Practice II” (mid-January 2013) classes, by 157 female first-year students from a dietitian training course. The analysis focused on nutrient content and weight by food group.
The mean caloric content was very close to the target nutrient content, almost exactly the adequate value, and 83.0% of the menus were within ±10% of the target nutrient content. The mean calcium content was higher than the target nutrient content, and 13.1% of the menus were 50% above the target nutrient content for calcium. The mean iron content was higher than the target nutrient content, and 27.7% of the menus were 50% above the target nutrient content for iron. The mean dietary fiber content was higher than the target nutrient content, and 11.1% of menus were 50% above the target nutrient content for dietary fiber. Thirty percent of menus were within ±10% of the target nutrient content for a sodium chloride equivalent, and 70% of menus were not tailored to meet the target nutrient content.
Menus that were 50% above the target nutrient content for calcium, iron, and dietary fiber, exceeded the proper amount of food required to prepare one serving. Food items that elevated calcium content were “sesame seeds”, “dried hijiki algae” and “dried pre-cut wakame seaweed. Food items that elevated iron content were “dried hijiki algae”, “spinach” and “Japanese littleneck clam”. Food items that elevated dietary fiber were “dried hijiki algae”, “dried shiitake mushrooms” and “dried pre-cut wakame seaweed”.
This study highlighted the need to raise awareness of the following issues in order to improve menu planning ability: i) an adequate serving size per person; ii) weight per food item; iii) different types of food items rich in calcium, iron and dietary fiber; iv) weight of dried and powdered food items; v) rehydration ratio of dried food; and vi) proper seasoning proportion for a dish.

Ogano Kabuki, a folk style of kabuki originating over 200 years ago in the village of Ogano in the Chichibu region of Saitama, opens with the Japanese traditional dance called, Sanbasou. This dance is thought to have adopted the basic ‘kata’ forms by Yamatoza, the performing group founded by Otowaya Bando Hikogoro III in the Meiji Period. Yamatoza enthusiastically taught Sanbasou dance to local people whenever they held village festivals. Today, however, the performing style of Sanbasou varies among the many regional group who perform it in Ogano Kabuki. In this paper, the author examines the historical background and the current performing styles of Sanbasou in Ogano Kabuki, as well as the strong connection between Yamatoza and Sanbasou, which she discovered from her research and visits to regions of Chichibu.

This is the fourth report from the study of building up the new teaching seminar in Career Psychology.Starting from our act on the Faculty Development in 2009, we decided to add a new teaching programme, “Seminar of Career Psychology”, to the curriculum. The research on how we design and structure this seminar has been conducted under the competitive research funds of Otsuma Women’s University since 2012. In this report, we may illustrate the first run of the seminar in detail, which was provided to the junior students in the last half of the school year of 2015.
This fifteen-week seminar consists of three parts: The first part is designed for the students to become aware of their own career development. In the second part, students start to learn some business manners and the whole picture of the business world for preparing to perform as a member of society. In the last part, students are encouraged to plan the interview with the graduates. All findings from the interviews would be shared in the class by giving presentations as a part of the course work.
Throughout the whole programme of 2015, students were provided some opportunities to consider and develop their own career. At the end of the seminar, all students were given home-work assignments to make their own “life-long career plan”. However. these ideas would be shared with all members of the seminar as a booklet.
According to the discussion, it has been clarified that the significance of this seminar was helpful in the way to support the identity formation of the student.

The systematic purge usually called Sook Ching or Mass Screening. In 1962, remains belonging to the victims of the Sook Ching were unearthed. In 1967, the Civilian War Memorial was built in memory of all the civilians killed during the Japanese occupation of Singapore. Following the rise of protest campaign by Singapore citizens, Japan signed a quasi-reparation agreement with Singapore in the same year, but it did not officially acknowledge war responsibility. The Civilian War Memorial is a symbol of the multi ethnic state Singapore, Japan still can’t understand it correctly nor face it directly.

To whom, and on what basis, should support for children and child-rearing be given? This question has been explored in social welfare research on the expected beneficiaries of welfare, giving rise to diverse models of how that support should be provided, including problems-based, needs-based, and rights-based approaches. The purpose of this study is to proceed from that past research and accomplish two aims: demonstrate the superiority of support for children that is grounded in the rights-based approach, and to propose a mechanism for initiating activities for providing such support. This process begins with an examination of the “Angel Plan” launched by the Japanese government in 1994, which promoted the nationwide implementation of child-rearing support services founded on the needs-based approach. This initiative’s narrow focus on that approach was seen by some experts as endangering support that targets services at the problems of users, that is, service-oriented support. What sort of perspective, then, is necessary for providing user-focused support founded on the best interests of the child?
One path toward answering that question is to refer to the welfare theories of Shigeo Okamura, whose Okamura Theory remains influential today. Okamura constructed a community-based model for defining welfare beneficiaries, and, in his later years sought to explain the inevitability of this model through human rights concepts. Using the framework proposed by Okumura, this study highlights the elements of an approach founded on children’s rights, that is, one that focuses on the best interests of the child. While Japan’s ratification of the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child in 1994 provided a basis for applying human rights concepts to support for children, it is hard to say that community-based support is in fact being provided in this country. Referring to Freud’s theory of the psychic apparatus, this study proposes, as a sufficient condition for initiating support activities grounded in the children’s rights-based approach, a mechanism for positioning value within the providers of support for children.

Gomokumeshi is an autobiography written by Mrs. Kotaka Otsuma, founder of Otsuma Women’s University. The autobiography details the history of the university, as well as its fundamental principle of the education for women, for which it has earned the reputation of raising “good wives and wise mothers”. Gomokumeshi has been read by Otsuma’s junior and senior high school pupils, undergraduate and graduate students, their parents, and staff members. However, there has not yet been any report on how it is accepted by foreigners. This article reports the views of 10 Chinese and Korean exchange students, following their perusal of the book. These exchange students were enrolled in the International Center in the second semester of the academic year 2016. Further, this article shows how the exchange students’ negative image towards Japanese women has changed since they started reading Gomokumeshi, and how they found special value in studying at Otsuma Women’s University. Their bias that Japanese women become pitifully stuck at home after marriage, has lessened, after learning that Kotaka supported the social progress of married women. Additionally, the recognition that Kotaka herself founded Otsuma after she married her husband, made them respect her profoundly, and has assisted in their finding favourable meaning in studying at Otsuma Women’s University.

In this paper, we have summarized the important items in childcare for the handicapped using “Biestek seven”. The subjects are college students enrolled in a nursery teacher training course. In the lecture, a group work was conducted. As a result, the responses differed from group to group. Even if the same elements in Biestek seven were used, the order was different depending on the group. Comparing this result with students studying welfare does not mean that different results will be obtained.

The purpose of this study was to clarify the possibility of inner scan using the left and right parts by measuring the body composition in young women by comparison with body composition measured using InBody. Body compositions were measured for 201 students (mean age ± SD: 20.1 ± 0.6) of O women’s University in October 2015, 2016. As a result of comparing the body composition measured by both measurement methods, body weight, body fat percentage, basal metabolism rate, muscle mass, and BMI, the correlation coefficients of these body compositions were all high, and all the p values were > 0.001. This finding suggests it is possible to examine the relationship between body composition value using inner scan by the right and left part and nutritional intake, lifestyle habits, eating habits when measuring the body composition from a large number of subjects in the field of epidemiological study where it is difficult to use an InBody.

The aim of this study was to examine the ability of bilingual children in Germany to write compositions in Japanese. Most of the children attended German local schools from Monday to Friday and all of the children studied at a Japanese supplementary school on Saturday. The students were asked to write 2 types of compositions (a “narrative text” and an “expository text”) in Japanese in the 4th and 6th grades. Longitudinal analysis revealed the following key findings: 1) Children developed the ability to write at three levels: characters, their readings, and words; syntax; and discourse. Bilingual children did not improve as quickly or as much as children whose mother tongue was Japanese, but the ability of bilingual children to write steadily improved over 2 years. Bilingual children developed the ability to construct more complicated sentences in Japanese, but mistakes in the formal aspects and elements of language were evident; and 2) Children steadily improved in their ability to compose a “narrative text” more so than in their ability to compose an “expository text.” These findings suggest that the overlap and differences between bilingual students and monolingual students in terms of their development of the ability to write compositions in Japanese must be analyzed more closely through comprehensive analysis of the ability to write compositions in Japanese and comparative analysis of different types of compositions.
