The study of sleep effect in the night and the next morning of triazolam and brotizolam on the polysomnography and subjective sleep rating scale

We studied the sleep effect, the carry over effect (sleepiness) on polysomnography (PSG), the sleep propensity test (SPT), the subjective sleep rating scale for the ultra short acting hypnotics triazolam and short acting hypnotics brotizolam. Ten healthy male volunteers were used for double blind crossover design by randomized allocation with a single oral administration. Informed consent was obtained from all subjects. Placebo (PL), triazolam (TL, 0.125 mg), triazolam (TH, 0.25 mg) and brotizolam (BR, 0.25 mg) were administered at 11 p.m. PSG was recorded from 11 p.m. to 7 a.m. in the next morning. Then, Stanford Sleepiness Scale (SSS) and Kwansei Gakuin Sleepiness Scale (KSS) were checked before 8 a.m., and SPT was recorded at 8:00–8:20 a.m. In PSG of total sleep, TH decreased the frequency of stage shifts significantly ( p<0.05) compared to PL. TH and BR increased the percentage of stage 1 combined with stage 2 sleep significantly ( p<0.01) and decreased the percentage of REM sleep significantly ( p<0.01) compared to PL. However, all the drugs had no effect on the percentage of slow wave sleep compared to PL. Although all drugs had no effect on the subjective feeling of sleepiness in SSS and KSS, BR decreased sleep latency significantly ( p<0.05) compared to PL in SPT.

Reshaping the Built Environment; Ecology, Ethics, and Economics

Review: Reshaping the Built Environment; Ecology, Ethics, and Economics By Charles J. Kibert (Ed.) Reviewed by On-Kwok Lai Kwansei Gakuin University, Hyogo, Japan Charles J. Kibert (Ed.). Reshaping the Built Environment: Ecology, Ethics, and Economics. Washington DC: Island Press, 1999. 362 pp. ISBN: 1- 55963-701-3 (cloth); ISBN: 1-55963-702-1 (paper). US$45.00 cloth; US$27.50 paper. Recycled, acid-free paper. Now is the right moment for us to reshape our built environment for sustainable development, as time is not on our side. Under the pro-growth development paradigm, in the name of economic progress and development, people have been colonizing nature and turning it into building structures of all kinds, which house people for various purposes. Yet the built environment is the source of environmental problems, hence leading us to an unsustainable future. For outlining an alternative vision for sustainable development, this edited volume is a timely, welcome contribution. It articulates ecologically sound thinking upon the broad range of complex issues connected to reshaping the built environment, and also offers concrete, feasible solutions. Derived from the University of Florida's Rinker Eminent Scholar Series on Sustainability in the Built Environment (1998), the volume is arranged, after a succinct introduction, around three sets of ecological relations, synergies, and praxis. The foundations part (chapters 2-5) discusses the underlying frameworks/approaches for thinking about how the built environment should be reshaped, with specific reference to ecological, ethical, and economic considerations. It is followed by the content part (chapters 6-10) which addresses the key resource implications of the built environment: the shift towards a renewable and sustainable (solar) energy supply and conservation, building materials, the alternative processing of clean (waste) water, learning from the natural system for greening of land forms and regenerative landscapes, and the case for green building production processes. The process part (chapters 11-18) advocates the ecologically sound role model for various agencies involved in the built environment life cycle: architects, planners, and the government. Despite their different roles, the design and the process, as well as the product of building, should mimic natural processes and complement rather than destroy natural systems. Two positive aspects of this book should be noted. First, in spite of the

Yoshiro Manabe and His Language School Suzurigaoka Eigakko

Due to the Promulgation of Middle School Order in 1886, which provided that no more than one ordinary middle school should be established per prefecture, all the public middle schools founded prior to the order in Kagawa, which was then a part of Ehime Prefecture, were closed. In order to fill in the educational vacuum of that school level, several private schools, mainly either of English studies or of Chinese classics, were established. Among them was Suzurigaoka Eigakko founded and run by Yoshiro Manabe in Tadotsu, though the school was short-lived.This paper aims at shedding light on how and why Manabe established the school, and closed it after about one year and a half. Manabe had studied natural history before he opened the school in 1893. However, as the school was founded to teach merchants' children such subjects as Japanese and Chinese classics, English, Mathematics, and Bookkeeping, there was no room for him to teach natural history. This may be one of the reasons he accepted an invitation to Kwansei Gakuin Middle School and closed his language school in 1895.Although the school was so short-lived, it provided a rather high level of education. It was an exceptional case among private schools in Kagawa in those days that there was an American teacher among Japanese colleagues working for the school. It thus supplemented the shortage of middle-school level education in the prefecture during the mid-Meiji Era.

The type A behavior pattern and immune reactivity to brief stress: change of volume of secretory immunoglobulin A in saliva.

This article presents findings of a laboratory experiment on the association of the Type A behavior pattern with reactivity of secretory immune functioning to brief stress. 38 female undergraduate students classified as Type A (n = 19) or as Type B (n = 19) on the basis of their scores on the Kwansei Gakuin Type A scale performed a continuous arithmetic task in a situation in which they were exposed to aversive loud noise. Secretory immunoglobulin A (s-IgA) in saliva and autonomic measures (heart rate and frequency of eyeblink) were evaluated before and after the manipulation of stress. The volume of s-IgA at baseline was significantly higher for the Type A group than for the Type B group, suggesting that the former relative to the latter might be chronically higher in mucosal immune functioning. Also, the volume of s-IgA significantly increased after exposure to a brief stress for the Type B group but did not change for the Type A group, a finding which might indicate that the Type A group may have less immune reactivity to a brief stress.

Similarities in Type a Behavior between Young Children and Their Parents in Japan

In Japan similarities in Type A behavior between preschool children and their parents were investigated. Type A scores of 169 pairs of sons and their fathers, 130 pairs of daughters and their fathers, 158 pairs of sons and their mothers, and 121 pairs of daughters and their mothers were measured on the Japanese version of the Matthews Youth Test for Health for children and KG's (Kwansei Gakuin) Daily Life Questionnaire for parents. Self-ratings on the Hard-driving and Time-urgent scale of parents were correlated positively with teachers' Type A ratings of their sons, but no associations were found between scores of parents and their daughters. These results might be consistent with the hypothesis that children might learn Type A behaviors when their parents do not show much interest in child-rearing.

問題提起-経営学と経営史学

Six articles in this issue are papers read at the common-topics session of the ninth annual meeting of the Business History Society of Japan, held at Kobe University of Commerce on November 10 and 11, 1973.In the opening address, Kurita pointed out that the aim of this symposium lay in analysing the interrelationship between “Business Administration and Business History”. There are three approaches in studying business history : history of the business thought ; history of the business structures ; history of the business management. Kurita emphasized the possibility of multiple approaches, suggesting five genres of the history of business management-labour management ; financial management ; production management ; marketing management ; and accounting management.The second speaker, Professor Seiji Fujitsu (Hitotsubashi University), explained, to the minutest detail, the development of the standard profit concept at Onoda Cement Manufacturing Company, which was one of the pioneering modern enterprises in Meiji-Japan. He pointed out that Onoda Cement Manufacturing Company was the earliest enterprise tackling with the problem of depreciation-expense. (Commentator ; Professor Jiro Ono, Kobe University).Professor Hiroshi Noguchi (Keio University) tried to trace the historical characteristics of the labour management in Japan. He concretely reported about “the Japan-Type-Labour-Management”, which had a couple of unique marks-the system of employment for life ; the institution of generous welfare ; and the special personnel relationship based on the business community. (Commentator : Professor Hiroshi Hazama, Tokyo University of Education).Professor Hiroshi Tachibana (Osaka Municipal University) insisted the importance of the historical approach in the study of production control, reviewing the development of capitalistic-factory-production during the recent two centuries, together with the contemporary thoughts and systems of production control. He also analyzed the current structure and function of the production control in detail, from the historical view point. (Commentator : Professor Kisoo Tasugi, Kyoto-Gakuen University).Professor Koichi Shimokawa (Hosei University) reported on the origin and growth of the marketing control in the United States during the latter half of the 19 th century. He found the origin of the marketing as a means of control in the early development of salesmen control, promoted in some new consumers' goods industries, such as sewing-machine, reaper, meat-packing and cigarette, to which neither established marketing organization nor sales agency could afford enough sales facilities. (Commentator : Professor Moriaki Tsuchiya, Tokyo University).Professor Eiichiro Ogura (Shiga University) gave the audience a corroborative business-history-research of the accounting management. Analyzing the cases of House of Nakai and Muranishi together with Izumo-account, he put emphasis on the existences of the managerial-accounting and the cost-accounting in Tokugawa-Japan. (Commentator : Professor Osao Kojima, Kwansei Gakuin University).Co-chairmen of this symposium were Professor Yasuzo Horie (Kyoto Sangyo University) and Professor Keiichiro Nakagawa (Tokyo University).

Foreword

This issue of Chinese Economic Studies is a complete translation of An Outline of the Compilation Work for an Input-Output Table for the People's Republic of China, 1956. Professor Niwa Haruki at Kwansei Gakuin University made the study under the auspices of the Institute of Developing Economies of Japan. The book comprises nine chapters, twenty-nine charts, three figures, and numerous tables. Because of the technical nature of the work, a few explanatory words on the construction of the tables may be helpful, particularly for those who are interested in comparing the productive structure of China with the structures of other related economies.
