| Title Alternative | Descriptive Study of Itching Experienced by Adults with Atopic Dermatitis |
| FullText URL | interdisciplinary_4_9.pdf |
| Author | HIRAMI, Yuki| FUJIMOTO, Kanako| KODA, Masahide| HARADA, Nahoko| |
| Abstract | Background: Atopic Dermatitis (AD) is a chronic inflammatory skin disease characterized by intense itching, significantly impacting patients' psychosocial well-being worldwide. Objective: This study aimed to elucidate the multifaceted and multilayered burden of itch in adult AD patients, exploring strategies to capture the complexity of the disease and its symptoms comprehensively. Methods: The study utilized an array of Patient Reported Outcome (PRO) measures and conducted an exploratory analysis of patients' subjective descriptions of their itch experiences. Results: Twenty-three participants (female: n=16) were enrolled in the study. The Analyses revealed that none of the participants experienced in the same way about physical, emotional, and psychological burden of itch and limitation in social life. Additionally, it was found that PROs capture only partial aspects of itch and do not provide a comprehensive understanding. Discussion: The findings highlight the necessity of employing multiple PROs and conducting in-depth patient interviews to understand the daily life challenges associated with itch. The potential of interdisciplinary research to address the complex burden of itch in AD patients is also emphasized. Conclusion: A comprehensive understanding of the symptom of itch in AD patients requires the use of multiple PROs. |

| Abstract | 本稿は，2つの必修英語カリキュラム（6単位コースと8単位コース)についてリーディングとスピーキングの2技能に焦点を当て，GTECスコアおよびCAN-DOリストによる自己評価を指標として量的分析を行った報告である。GTECテストの結果は，6単位コース（約580名調査協力）の平均値が，8単位コース（約450名調査協力）よりも，2技能ともコース修了時に統計的に高い数値を示した。一方，CAN-DOリストの回答では，コースに関わらず，難易度が低いリーディング項目で平均値が入学時よりも下降したのに対して，難易度の高いCAN-DO項目では，修了時に平均値が上がっていた。対照的に，スピーキング項目では，CAN-DO難易度に関わらず，両コースともほぼすべての項目で，平均値の上昇が見られた。調査結果は，今後の英語カリキュラム改善の資料として使用される。 |

| Abstract | 二十世紀初頭、岡倉覚三とラビンドラナート・タゴールの出会いから日印美術交流が始まった。日本画家勝田蕉琴も1905-1907年にインドに滞在し、画家や文化人と交流しながら作品を制作したが、滞印中の作品の多くは現存していないため、今まで研究が進まなかった。しかし、失われたと思われていた作品の一つ《ラーマの離別》が近年インドで発見された。インドの叙事詩『ラーマーヤナ』の物語を描いたものである。当時、ベンガル派の画家たちに大きな影響を与えた日本画の技法を用い、インドの鑑賞者にもわかりやすい主題を描いた本作は、日本インド美術交流の文脈の中で重要な位置を占める。 |

| Abstract | Mantle convection currents are the currently accepted driving force for plate tectonics that have ripped apart the continents and created oceans. Because of these actions, continental collisions and ocean closures have resulted. Our paper challenges the conventional concept and provides an alternate, mathematically justified drive mechanism. The pull-push motions of such convection currents in the upper mantle are here concluded to be too weak to be the driving mechanism. Our proposal for such global scale forces concerns the effect of an offset centre of mass of the Earth that results in rotational wobbling. Kepler’s laws of planetary motion demonstrate the rotational behavior of the Earth to be aligned with the Sun on the outward and inward motions of the elliptical orbit. The unbalanced rotation on a fixed gravitational axis results in circumferential stresses on the outer Earth’s rim that is more than strong enough to pull the continental plates apart. The proposed unbalanced rotational stress force equation is shown to be sufficient to drive the cyclic breakup and reassembly of the continental plates, as well as the generation of new oceanic crust and subduction zones. Mantle convection currents are here demonstrated to have a passive rather than active role in the plate movements. |

| Author | YAMADA, Nobuyuki| TAKENAKA, Hiroshi| |
| Abstract | In this report, microtremor array observations were conducted in the Tsushima Campus of Okayama University, and the subsurface velocity structure was estimated from the analysis of the records. The results indicate that a five-layer S-wave velocity structure from the surface to the seismic basement equivalent layer with thicknesses of 8, 24, 80 and 180 m and velocities of 150, 450, 1100, 1700 and 3200 m/s, respectively, is reasonable. This model explains to some extent the observed phase velocity and H/V spectral ratios. It is also consistent with the surface borehole results. Furthermore, the areal characteristics of the H/V spectral ratios were also presented, allowing us to estimate the trend of the ground structure in shallow areas. |

| Title Alternative | Petrological characteristics of the stone chamber of Tobiotsuka Kofun, Okayama Prefecture |
| FullText URL | esr_030_001_012.pdf |
| Author | KANEKO, Takahiro| NOZAKA, Toshio| SEIKE, Akira| |
| Abstract | Tobiotsuka Kofun, a tumulus built on the Misu Hills in the Kofun period, has a horizontal stone chamber made of huge stone blocks with a width up to 2 meters or more. To specify the source of the stone blocks, we carried out the measurement of magnetic susceptibility, petrographic observation, and chemical analysis of minerals. The stones are amphibole-biotite granite with phenocrystic large grains of K-feldspar. The back-wall stone of the chamber has higher magnetic susceptibility than ceiling and side-wall stones, which probably results from a higher amount of magnetite formed by the alteration of biotite in the back-wall stone. Furthermore, the back-wall stone is different from ceiling stone in that it has lower XMg [Mg/(Mg + Fe) mole ratio], lower Al, Ti, and Na + K contents and higher Si contents of amphibole, higher XMg of biotite, and shows a tendency to have higher Na (albite component) contents at rims of plagioclase crystals and lower Ti contents of zircon. These characteristics of the back-wall stone are similar to those of granite exposed in the Koshinzan area about 2 km northeast of Tobiotsuka Kofun, whereas the ceiling and side-wall stones are similar to granite outcrops in the vicinity of Tobiotsuka Kofun, e.g., in the Midoriyama area. It is concluded that the quarry for the back-wall was located at a different place from that for the ceiling and side-wall stones. |
