INTERNATIONAL ACTIVITIES ON FIRE RESEARCH

Hirano,Toshisuke 한국화재소방학회 1997 한국화재소방학회 학술대회 논문집 Vol.1997 No.-

In this paper presented are recent international activities on fire research. After a long history of exchanging ideas in individual international groups, the International Association for Fire Safety Science (IAFSS) was founded in 1985 at its first Symposium, and in 1988, it became a registered charity in England and Wales. The primary objectives of the association are encouraging research in the science of preventing and mitigating the adverse effects of fires and of providing a forum for presenting the results such research. In order to implement the objectives, the Association has held a series of Symposia. At the same time, regional activities have been performed to expand the activities of IAFSS into every individual country. The Asia-Oceania Association for Fire Science and Technology (AOAFST) was founded in 1992 at its first Symposium and the First European Regional IAFSS Symposium was held in Zurich in 1995. Extensive activities in fire research have been performed in Asian and Oceanian countries.

We consider countable rings with ascending chain condition on right annihilators. We determine the structure of a countable right p-injective Baer ring, a countable semi prime quasi-Baer ring and a countable quasi-Baer biregular ring.

就職面接自己PRにおける日本語らしい 「自己に対するほめ」教育の重要性 -「性格」に関する「自己に対するほめ」を中心に-

Hirano Aika 한국일본교육학회 2015 한국일본교육학연구 Vol.20 No.1

This research has as its objective providing educational materials for the Korean speakers to learn the Japanese natural self-expressive approbation by looking at both Korea and Japan’s self-expressive approbation through job interview PR of both. Also, this research is obliged to use interview simulation data for 100 job applicants both from Korea and Japan. Actually, the Japanese education for job interview in Korea is only to correct the Japanese languages nongramatical or too Korean. As the Korean speakers’s employment at Japanese company both in Korea and in Japan has been recently increased, some mistakes can be caused or unbelievable due to expressive difference if the Japanese self-expressive approbation for job interview is not well educated. This expressive difference is remarkable specially in mentioning the character, due to the reason that it is hard to express the strength on the character in a resume. There is both Korean and Japanese character expression inclucing ‘efforts, activity, cooperativity, politeness, coldness and creativity’ in this survey. The data is expected to present the future directionality of self-expressive approbation for job interview by looking at and comparing this item expression more carefully. 本研究の目的は、日本と韓国の就職面接自己PRにあらわれる日韓の「自己に対するほめ」表現に注目し、韓国語話者がより日本語らしい自己に対するほめ表現を学ぶための教育資料を作成することである。また、本研究のデータは就職活動中または就職活動を控えている日韓各100人を実際の就職面接に近い環境で面接したものから収集し、研究資料として使用している。現在韓国での就職面接自己PRの日本語教育は、非文法的または韓国語直訳の不自然な日本語を修正する程度にとどまっている。近年韓国では、韓国国内の日本企業就職だけでなく、日本現地への海外就職が増えており、日本語らしい就職面接自己PR表現の教育がなされない場合、日韓の表現の違いなどから誤解が生じたり、信頼を得られないなどの問題が発生する恐れもある。これらの表現の違いは特に「性格」をアピールする際に現れるが、これは履歴書に性格の長所などを十分に記述することが容易でないためであろう。日本と韓国の自己に対するほめのうち、性格を表わす表現には「努力、積極性、協調性、礼儀、冷静さ、独創力」などがある。本研究ではこれらの項目別表現をさらに詳しく分類し、対照研究することで、就職面接自己PRにおける日本語らしい自己に対するほめ表現教育の方向性を示す資料収集が可能となるだろう。

LCC利用客の增加に伴う沖繩縣觀光客受入體制の整備について

( Hirano Norio ),( Kakutani Naohisa ) 동북아관광학회 2015 동북아관광연구 Vol.11 No.1

航空自由化により日本にも本格的なLCCが登場し、従来航空機を利用することのなかった顧客層の新たな需要を創出している。沖縄県においてもLCC旅客数及び旅客数シェアは年々増加し、平成25(2013)年度のLCC旅客数は55万人、LCC旅客数シェアは入域観光客数の8.4%に達したと推計される。国内LCCによる那覇空港拠点化や海外LCCの新規乗り入れにより、今後も益々LCC旅客数及び旅客数シェアが高まり、平成33(2021)年には沖縄入域観光客の約4分の1にあたる250万人にまで伸長することも予測される。行動バターンが従来と異なるLCC旅客の増加は、沖縄観光に大きな変革をもたらす可能性がある。こうしたLCCがもたらす変化に対応するため、新しい着地型のビジネスプランの構築、長期滞在型施設の充実、二次交通の改善といった課題に取り組むことが必要である。 Accompanying the appearance of professional LCCs in Japan as a part of aviation liberalization, new demands have been created by customer segments that conventionally did not travel by air. The number of LCC passengers and the share of LCC passengers grow larger year by year also in Okinawa, and it is estimated that the number of LCC passengers of 2013 has reached 550,000 while the share of LCC passengers has reached 8.4% of visitors to Okinawa. It is expected that the number of LCC passengers and the share of LCC passengers continue growing being boosted by domestic LCCs increasing using Naha Airport as a hub and by new entry of overseas LCCs and that the number increases to 2,500,000 which corresponds to approximate one fourth of all travelers to Okinawa by 2021. The increase of LCC passengers whose behavior patterns differ from conventional ones might possibly cause large changes in tourism in Okinawa. To cope with such changes caused by the growth of LCCs, it is necessary to work on tasks such as establishment of new business plans of landing type, provision of facilities of long-stay type and improvements in intermodal passenger transportation.

MULTIPLE EXISTENCE OF SOLUTIONS FOR A NONHOMOGENEOUS ELLPITIC PROBLEMS ON R^N

Hirano, Norimichi,Kim, Wan Se The Youngnam Mathematical Society 2018 East Asian mathematical journal Vol.34 No.5

Our purpose in this paper is to consider multiple existence of solutions of problem $$-{\Delta}u-{\frac{\mu}{{\mid}x{\mid}^2}}+{\alpha}u={\mid}u{\mid}^{p-2}u+{\lambda}f\;u{\in}H^1({\mathbb{R}}^n)$$, where a, ${\lambda}$ > 0, ${\mu}{\in}(0,(N-2)^2/4)f{\in}H^{-1}({\mathbb{R}}^N)$, $f{\geq}0$ and $f{\neq}0$.

Dietary Sesame Meal Increases Plasma HDL-cholesterol Concentration in Goats

Hirano, Y.,Kashima, T.,Inagaki, N.,Uesaka, K.,Yokota, H.,Kita, K. Asian Australasian Association of Animal Productio 2002 Animal Bioscience Vol.15 No.11

Influence of dietary sesame meal on plasma glucose, non-esterified fatty acid (NEFA), triglyceride, total cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein (HDL)-cholesterol and urea concentrations in goats was examined. Goats were fed a control diet (50% timothy hay and 50% concentrates) (CD) or a sesame meal diet (50% timothy hay, 25% concentrates and 25% sesame meal) (SMD) during 12 days. Blood samples were taken after overnight fasting and afternoon every day. Body weight was not changed by feeding either CD or SMD. The concentrations of plasma triglyceride and urea were higher (p<0.05) in goats fed SMD than those fed CD. Plasma NEFA concentration was higher in plasma samples after overnight fasting. Plasma glucose concentration in plasma samples collected afternoon was higher than those after overnight fasting. Plasma total cholesterol concentration was significantly increased by feeding SMD but not by feeding CD, which was due to the remarkable increase of plasma HDL-cholesterol concentration. In conclusion, dietary sesame meal brought about an increase in plasma total cholesterol concentration accompanied with an increment in plasma HDL-cholesterol consentration in goats.

Bridging Grammar and Communication: Focusing on the Preposition Of

Hirano. Junya,Matsumoto. Tomoko 영상영어교육학회 2018 영상영어교육 (STEM journal) Vol.19 No.2

Focusing on the preposition of, this paper proposes a new method of grammar instruction to strengthen students’ understanding of grammar rules, as well as their communication abilities. It is important for scholars and teachers to find a way to improve grammar teaching methods because they have not changed for several decades, while methodologies for improving students’ communication skills have been discussed widely. Even ESL teachers who predominantly employ communication-centered teaching techniques rely on mechanistic methods to teach grammar, requiring students to memorize grammatical rules. The new grammar instruction method consists of two processes: understanding the essence of a particular rule and applying the understanding to a film dialog to see how grammatical rules are employed correctly in communicative settings. Understanding the essence of grammatical rules enables students to improve their communication skills and abilities; it also does not require them to memorize grammatical rules. Furthermore, film dialogs enable learners to understand the importance of context and setting in the process of communication. To demonstrate how this new method works, the paper explains the essential meaning of of as a part of a larger whole, and shows how the essential meaning is employed in film dialog.

本研究の目的は、日韓の見方・考え方から生じる表現の違いに気づく事が初級 日本語翻訳レベルの学生にどのような影響を与えるかを調査する事である。 本研究では初級翻訳レベルの授業を受講する韓国人日本語学習者男女30人を対 象に調査した。授業では日本語の絵本とそれを翻訳した韓国語の絵本を読み聞 かせ、日韓の翻訳の違いについて発表、討論を行い、簡単なアンケートとミニ テストを実施した。アンケートの結果、絵本の読み聞かせ授業は、初級翻訳レベ ルの学習者に日本語ではなぜこう表現するのかという見方・考え方の違いに 気付かせるだけでなく、教材が絵本である事や輪になって座り絵本を読むと いう授業の進め方に興味を持った学生の学習意欲を向上させる効果も確認出来 た。またミニテストの結果からも授業に対する関心、集中力の向上が確認出来 た。調査の結果、絵本の読み聞かせによる日韓表現考察は、初級日本語学習者に とって日本語への興味、関心、積極性の向上を促す上で肯定的な効果が期待でき る事が明らかになった。

Rhetoric of “Will I See You?”: Based on an Analysis of Fictional Conversations

Hirano, Junya,Matsumoto, Tomoko 영상영어교육학회 2019 영상영어교육 (STEM journal) Vol.20 No.4

where causal usage overshadows formality, will is regularly used instead of shall because shall sounds too formal. Since it becomes hard to distinguish will from other modal verbs, the rhetorical impact of will in the question “Will I see you tonight?” has been lost. This paper analyzes the rhetoric of “Will I see you tonight?” by restoring the original characteristic of will that is often overlooked in casual English usage. To accomplish this goal, this paper focuses on the first-person subject question with will and its illogical nature of asking the hearer about the speaker’s own will. The aim of the authors is to show how this illogical nature is tied to its rhetorical meaning, by extracting a number of examples such as movie dialogues and lyrics. “Will I see you tonight?” is not a sheer question but a powerfully rhetorical statement because this question demands the speaker pours his/her heart out, no matter what kind of consequence awaits. “Will I see you tonight?” is neither challenging nor accusatory but instead is illogical. It is for this reason that it works as an extremely romantic proposal.
