Hana.Ko,Sunghee H. Tak 한국간호과학회 2021 한국간호과학회 학술대회 Vol.2021 No.10

Aim(s): To evaluate a Health Coaching based Diabetes Self-management (HC-DSM) program for community dwelling older adults. Method(s): A randomized controlled trial was conducted on 50 older adults with diabetes who were recruited from a senior center in Seoul. The participants were randomly assigned to either an 8-week HC-DSM program or a 4-week usual education program on diabetes. In the final analysis, 23 participants were included in the experimental group and 22 in the control group. Questionnaire surveys were used to measure diabetes self-management self-efficacy, knowledge, goal attainments, behavior change, health status, and health related quality of life. Statistical analysis included generalized estimation equations, independent t-test, and χ2 test. In addition, qualitative data were collected to analyze the fidelity of the program and examine the experience of the participants. Result(s): The intervention group had significant improved diabetes self-management self-efficacy(p<.001), knowledge(p=.039), goal attainments(p=.020), behavior change (stage of change(p=.002), monitoring(p=.039), and reducing risks(p=.002)), health status (HbA1c(p=.006) and the diabetes distress scale(p=.005)), and the health related quality of life (EQ-VAS(p<.001)). Conclusion(s): The HC-DSM program may be a feasible intervention that contributes to health promotion by empowering community dwelling older adults with diabetes to take responsibility for their own health and self-management.

Learning from Active Learning: expanding the scope of interpretation skills training

This proposal highlights the value of expanding the scope of interpretation skills training in the context of an undergraduate language curriculum by introducing the approaches taken by the instructor affiliated with the Center for Global Communication Strategies at the University of Tokyo. The course on Japanese-English interpretation skills is offered primarily for students enrolled at the university’s Program in English at Komaba (PEAK) who were educated in English while developing their Japanese language as a heritage language at home. The course aims to equip students with advanced communication skills through interpretation training rather than training professional interpreters. The overarching goal is to enable students to achieve valuable life skills. While the course leans on building blocks of conventional interpreter training to achieve that goal, its premise is that interpretation skills are essentially advanced communication skills. For example, simultaneous interpretation enables rapid determination of the main thrust of the information captured aurally and visually. Consecutive interpretation is the ability to temporarily deconstruct the information presented and deliver it in a meaningful manner. Sight translation is another form of digesting information in manageable chunks by overcoming the significant difference in sentence structure between the two languages. Interpretation skills training enables learners to contextualize vocabulary, vary language register, enunciate clearly, be mindful of meaning while always directing attention to the audience, all of which are valuable life skills. This proposal will also demonstrate the value of gaining insights from other related disciplines such as ESL to break down the learning process into different aspects of English as vocabulary and grammar. This approach is notably viable if the interpretation skills course is part of a broader language curriculum. The proposal will also address active learning strategies that were effective in the University of Tokyo course to improve the course quality and foster a student-centered classroom with special attention given to the virtual environment.

Effective and Intact Cell Detachment from a Clinically Ubiquitous Culture Flask by Combining Ultrasonic Wave Exposure and Diluted Trypsin

Hanako Tauchi,Chikahiro Imashiro,Taiki Kuribara,Genichiro Fujii,Yuta Kurashina,Kiichiro Totani,KenjiroTakemura 한국생물공학회 2019 Biotechnology and Bioprocess Engineering Vol.24 No.3

Bioengineering research and applications are supported by cell culture technologies that produce a large number of homogeneous cells. However, trypsin used in the general culture procedure for cell detachment decreases cell activity and culture efficiency. Furthermore, manually conducted culture procedures, especially pipetting after trypsin treatment, can induce inhomogeneous mechanical stress in cells, which may influence cellular functions. Alternate detachment methods using specialized culture devices without trypsin and/or manual pipetting have been reported. However, conventional trypsinization is still widely used. Diluted trypsin increases culture efficiency. Therefore, we developed a cell-detaching method using diluted trypsin and ultrasonic vibration for cell detachment from ubiquitous culture vessels. To demonstrate our concept, we used a T25 flask. Vibration of the culture surface was excited by ultrasonic waves propagated from an ultrasonic transducer placed under the flask. Using the proposed method, cells were completely detached by diluted trypsin, whereas 8.6% of cells remained on the flask with manual pipetting. The viability and proliferation of cells detached by the proposed method were higher than those of cells detached by the conventional method, owing to the low concentration of trypsin. Furthermore, glucose consumption after detachment showed no abnormality, eliminating possible oncogenesis. Two membrane proteins were quantified immediately after detachment and at 24 h of culture, and there were no differences between the detachment methods. Thus, we conclude that our proposed method improves culture efficiency without any adverse effects and ensures homogeneous mechanical stress on cells.

<P>The structure of Tetra-PEG ion gel, which is tetra-arm poly(ethylene glycol) (Tetra-PEG) network in ionic liquid (IL) and has recently established in our group and possesses high ion conductivity and high mechanical properties, was investigated as functions of polymer concentration (ϕ) and molecular weight (<I>M</I><SUB>w</SUB>) by using small-angle neutron scattering (SANS) measurements. The results were compared with those of Tetra-PEG hydrogel. The macromer solutions of tetra-amine terminated PEG (TAPEG) macromers, which is one of the two constituents forming Tetra-PEG network, were found to interpenetrate each other in IL and exhibited a scaling relationship, ξ ∼ ϕ<SUP>–3/4</SUP>, where ξ is the correlation length. The SANS functions, <I>I</I>(<I>q</I>), for the ion gels made by cross-end-coupling of TAPEG and TNPEG (tetra-arm PEG with active ester groups) were represented by the so-called Ornstein–Zernike equation, suggesting absence of frozen inhomogeneites. The same scaling relationship to the macromer solutions, ξ ∼ ϕ<SUP>–3/4</SUP>, was also obtained for the ion gels. Furthermore, the SANS curves were superimposed to a single master curve with <I>I</I>(<I>q</I>)/ξ<SUP>5/3</SUP>ϕ vs <I>ξq</I> irrespective of <I>M</I><SUB>w</SUB> and ϕ. In contrast, the Tetra-PEG ion gels made by reswelling of a dried hydrogel showed a large upturn, indicating that the ion gels made by the “re-swollen” method caused the network inhomogeneities.</P><P><B>Graphic Abstract</B> <IMG SRC='http://pubs.acs.org/appl/literatum/publisher/achs/journals/content/mamobx/2012/mamobx.2012.45.issue-9/ma300244u/production/images/medium/ma-2012-00244u_0001.gif'></P>

<P>Upper critical solution temperature (UCST)-type phase separation behavior and its conformational change of well-defined poly(<I>N</I>-isopropylacrylamide) (pNIPAm) in deuterated room-temperature ionic liquid (IL), 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)amide (<I>d</I><SUB>8</SUB>-[C<SUB>2</SUB>mIm<SUP>+</SUP>][TFSA<SUP>–</SUP>]), were investigated by means of dynamic light scattering (DLS) and small-angle neutron scattering (SANS) measurements. From the temperature dependence of time-averaged scattering intensity obtained by DLS, it was found that the cloud points of pNIPAm/<I>d</I><SUB>8</SUB>-[C<SUB>2</SUB>mIm<SUP>+</SUP>][TFSA<SUP>–</SUP>] solutions increased with molecular weight (<I>M</I><SUB>w</SUB>) and concentration. In addition, it was found that there are two relaxation modes of pNIPAm in the IL solutions. From SANS measurements, the radius of gyration, <I>R</I><SUB>g</SUB>, and the Flory–Huggins interaction parameter, χ, were evaluated as a function of temperature during the phase separation.</P><P><B>Graphic Abstract</B> <IMG SRC='http://pubs.acs.org/appl/literatum/publisher/achs/journals/content/mamobx/2013/mamobx.2013.46.issue-3/ma3020273/production/images/medium/ma-2012-020273_0009.gif'></P><P><A href='http://pubs.acs.org/doi/suppl/10.1021/ma3020273'>ACS Electronic Supporting Info</A></P>

日韓両言語における否定極性副詞と否定接頭辞の呼応について

飯田華子 ( Iida Hanako ) 동서대학교 일본연구센터 2022 次世代 人文社會硏究 Vol.18 No.-

この研究は、現代語のコーパスを対象とし、副詞語としての否定極性語と呼応する否定接頭辞「미(未)-, 비(非)-, 불/부(不)-, 무(無)-」に関して、それらが呼応する環境を日韓両言語比較の観点から考察したものである。具体的には、(1)日韓の否定極性語の意味関係と、(2)それらの否定接頭辞との呼応状況の二点に焦点を当てて考察した。否定極性語の意味関係の観点からの考察では、否定極性語の中で否定接頭辞と呼応するものとそうでないものが、それぞれ具体的に明らかになった。また、これらの否定極性語は、語彙間で、また日韓両言語間で、意味の共通部分を多く持っていることがわかった。否定接頭辞との呼応の観点からの考察では、否定極性語と呼応するものは、日韓両言語共通して「불/부(不)-」と「무(無)-」であり、「미(未)-」と「비(非)-」の呼応はほとんど見られないことがわかった。また、これらの呼応の組み合わせのパターンと、ぞれぞれの意味機能を見ることができた。 This paper examines the correspondence between negative polar words as adverbs and negative prefixes “미 (未)-, 비 (非)-, 불 / 부 (不)-, 무 (無)-”. It also considers the environment in which they respond from the perspective of comparing Japanese and Korean languages. The subject of consideration is the corpus. Specifically, it focuses on two points: (1) the semantic relationship of negative polar words between Japan and South Korea, and (2) the correspondence between those negative prefixes. From the perspective of negative polar words, we found out what negative polar words correspond to negative prefixes. It was also found that these negative polar words have a lot of common meanings between vocabularies and between Japanese and Korean languages. From the viewpoint of the negative prefix, the negative polar words correspond to “불 / 부 (不)-” and “무 (無)-” in both Japanese and Korean languages, and “미 (未)-” and “비 (非)-” was hardly seen. In addition, we were able to see the combination of these responses and the semantic functions of each.

한국음악의 세계화 전략

야마모토 하나코(Yamamoto Hanako)(山本華子) 국립국악원 2009 국악원논문집 Vol.19 No.-

일본에서는 1965년 한일국교 정상화 이후, 여러 가지 형태로 한국음악이 소개되어 왔다. 더욱이 국교정상화 40주년을 맞이한 2005년은 한·일 우정의 해 2005 로 지정되어 전통음악 세계에서는 민간차원의 공연이 증가하면서 한일 교류연주회가 활발히 열리게 되었다. 본 논문에서는 2005년 이래 일본에서 한국음악이 어떠한 형태로 소개되어 왔는가를 개관하고, 그 현황을 파악한 후에 향후의 전략에 대해 제언하고자 한다. 한국음악에 바로 접할 수 있는 것은 일반적으로 공연과 강습회·워크숍을 꼽을 수 있다. 수도권을 대상으로 공연정보를 수집해서 분석한 결과, 2005년 1월부터 2008년 8월까지 이루어진 한국음악 공연 중 타악기가 가장 많고, 다음으로 현악기가 이어진다. 결국 단독 공연이 되면 사물놀이나 가야금 등이 많다는 것이다. 또한 일본 연주자와의 교류 무대로는, 2005년의 한일 우정의 해에 이루어진 교류공연이 가장 많았다. 연주가의 분야로서는 한국인·재일 한국인·일본인·기타 민족이 포함된다. 횟수가 많은 순으로 열거하면 한국인, 한국인과 일본인 혼합, 재일 한국인, 한국인과 일본인과 기타 민족, 한국인과 재일 한국인, 한국인과 일본인과 재일 한국인, 재일 한국인과 일본인으로 되어 있다. 이렇게 일본에서는 한국음악의 연주에 재일 한국인이 여러 형태로 활동하고 있음을 알 수 있다. 한편, 도쿄에서 강습회·워크숍이 행해지는 3개소를 개관한 결과 거론된 분야는 관악기(피리·단소), 현악기(가야금·해금), 타악기(장구·꽹과리), 소리(민요·판소리), 악기 수리 등으로 밝혀졌다. 주일 한국대사관 한국문화원은 국립국악원과 연계하여 본국에서 강사를 초빙하여 초심자를 대상으로 한 강좌를 개최하며, 재일본 한국YMCA는 초심자와 경험자 및 장기간 참가자들이 대상이었으며, 강사는 한국에서 초청하고 있다. BBD 한국전통악기 전문점은 워크숍 이후의 대응을 고려하여, 재일 연주가를 강사로 초빙하고 있다. 도쿄에서 계속적으로 한국음악을 배울 수 있는 기관으로 한국YMCA를 들 수 있겠다. 한국YMCA의 한국음악 강습이 거둔 효과로는 재일 한국인들의 정체성 확립과 지도자 양성을 들 수 있다. 수강생 중에는 프로를 목표로 하는 인재가 나타나 현재 장구 연주자로 활약하고 있는 이도 있다. 그리고 일본에 한국음악 보급에 이바지한 가야금연주자인 지성자의 역할 또한 컸다고 할 수 있다. 끝으로 지금까지의 조사결과를 바탕으로 해서 한국음악의 세계화를 위하여 5가지를 제안하였다. Since the nomalization of diplomatic relation between Korea and Japan on 1965, many Korean music has been introduced in Japan. Moreover, the 40th anniversary of the normalization of diplomatic relation, as in year 2005, was announced as the fellowship year between the two countries. Performaces of Traditional music of two countries increased between the private organizations as well as musical interchanges. In this paper, I would like to examine the musical exchanges between two countries and how Korean Traditional Music introduced in Japan since year 2005. In conclusion, 5 different suggestions on the possible strategies on promoting Korean Traditional Music and its globalization will be provided at the end of the paper.

Small-Angle Neutron Scattering Study on Defect-Controlled Polymer Networks

Nishi, Kengo,Asai, Hanako,Fujii, Kenta,Han, Young-Soo,Kim, Tae-Hwan,Sakai, Takamasa,Shibayama, Mitsuhiro American Chemical Society 2014 Macromolecules Vol.47 No.5

<P>Tetra-PEG gels are classified to near-“ideal” networks with significantly low inhomogeneities, which were confirmed by small-angle neutron scattering (SANS). In this study, we systematically introduced two types of defects into Tetra-PEG gels and investigated effects of defects on structure. First, we prepared defect-rich networks by simply reducing prepolymer concentration, and observed the evolution of network structure by time-resolved SANS during gelation process. In this case, both the scattering intensity and the correlation length increased with reaction time in the ϕ < ϕ* region, while they scarcely changed in the ϕ > ϕ* region. Here, ϕ and ϕ* are the polymer volume fractions at observation and that at chain-overlap concentration, respectively. Second, we prepared “<I>p</I>-tuned” Tetra-PEG gels by tuning the reaction probability, <I>p</I>, and soaked them in water to expose the inhomogeneities. It was revealed that SANS profiles of as-prepared gels did not change noticeably, while those of swollen gels systematically changed with decreasing <I>p</I>. On the basis of these results, we discuss the relationship between the defects of polymer network and inhomogeneities by using simple schematic pictures of polymer network.</P><P><B>Graphic Abstract</B> <IMG SRC='http://pubs.acs.org/appl/literatum/publisher/achs/journals/content/mamobx/2014/mamobx.2014.47.issue-5/ma402590n/production/images/medium/ma-2013-02590n_0009.gif'></P><P><A href='http://pubs.acs.org/doi/suppl/10.1021/ma402590n'>ACS Electronic Supporting Info</A></P>
