  • Global-in-time solutions to a parabolic-parabolic system for chemotaxis with weak degradation and production terms
    Etsushi Nakaguchi
    2022 Volume 2022 Issue 52 Pages 7-24

    In this article we study the global existence of solutions to a parabolic-parabolic system for chemotaxis with logistic-type growth and nonlinear secretion in n-dimensional bounded domains. The series of works by the author and his colleagues show the global-in-time existence of bounded solutions in Lp spaces under certain relations between the degradation and secretion orders. This article reviews the series of their works including some keypoints on the domains of definition of fractional powers of Laplace operator.

  • The Development of Chinaʼs Medical Security System

    The Peopleʼs Republic of China was founded on October 1, 1949. Over the past 70 years, a social security system has been built under a socialist structure. Medical security is an important part of the social security system. The Chinese medical security system has progressed from the public health programs of the planned economy to the basic medical care of the market economy system to a universal health insurance system. In this report, I look back at the steps involved in the construction of the medical security system in China, point out current problems and discuss future prospects.

  • Blurring Contours of a Novel
    Reading Brave New World
    Keiko Inokuma

    Prose can only be loosely defined as writing that lacks metrical structure. Consequently, a novel, which has to be constituted by that loosely-defined prose, cannot help lacking or resisting some formal definition. This paper, accepting such elusiveness of what a novel is, analyses a work, Brave New World, published by Aldous Huxley in 1932. Although the novelist was often criticised as a mere essayist, and his novels were dismissed as poorly executed, my discussion first tries to consider what lies behind all these criticisms. It thus tries to shed light on some vague boundary separating what can be and cannot be admitted as a (good) novel. All these analyses hopefully help us to understand that Brave New World attempts to delineate the relationship between an individual and a totalitarian society in its own way and in its own field --- that is beyond our epistemic limitations.

  • The Predictability of English Spelling Using a Part-of-Speech Tagging Method
    Hiroto Noguchi
    2022 Volume 2022 Issue 52 Pages 71-84
    Published: 2022
    Released on J-STAGE: March 16, 2022

    This article aims to reveal the reality of English spelling using a method typically employed for morphological analysis or part-of-speech (POS) tagging in natural language processing (NLP). A survey was conducted in which word likelihood and tag sequence probabilities were replaced with letter likelihood and letter sequence probabilities. From the results, this article concludes that it is challenging to predict English spelling from sounds by probability.

  • Ryugakusei in Japanese Universities: Another Name for Passing Presences and Temporary Sojourners
    Daesung Kwon
    2022 Volume 2022 Issue 52 Pages 85-102
    Published: 2022

    In recent years, the number of international students (ryugakusei) at Japanese universities has been on the rise continuously, hitting a record high. Among them, the majority belong to Higher Education Institutions (HEIs), and as a result, they have become a key component of the Internationalization of Higher Education (IHE) in Japan. The three major stakeholders in IHE - the Japanese government, enterprises, and HEIs strive to lure increasingly more and the best international students. Given that student migrants traverse various boundaries and categories in the fields of migration - with unclear identities establishing them both as students (language, degree, exchange students) and workers (irregular, temporary, potential skilled workers) in their destination societies - the way they are treated varies according to various legal, economic, cultural and political conditions and factors. Then, how are international students currently viewed in Japanese society? Are they really in a category of ‘wanted and desired’ foreign migrants? Or otherwise? Against this background, this paper attempts to critically review the role of immigration in recruitment, retention, and settlement of international students in Japan. In doing so, this paper explores a possibility that international students will become permanent residents and fellow citizens in Japanese society, not as temporary sojourners.

  • “Science of water and aqueous solutions” : Effects of active-learning for first-year students
    Masayuki Ｎａｒａ

    “Science of water and aqueous solutions” has been offered as an elective course since 2001. I have encouraged first-year students to switch learning modes from passive to active by active-learning methods such as reading in turn, group work, team learning, and presentation. Here, I report the effects of active-learning on “Science of water and aqueous solutions” which I have been working on for 20 years including during the COVID-19 pandemic.
