Now a day, our animals, that is, domestic, laboratory, zoo, companion, pest and captive animals or managed wild animals, and our life are facing to lots of problems. The one of the most important problems should be sustainability of our society. That’s meaning a sustainability of the Earth. Thus, the main theme of this Congress that we set is ‘Ethology for Sustainable Society’. For this main theme, our viewpoints are not only for welfare of farm animals and its practices but also for consideration of captive animals and wild animals as well as human-animal interactions. Japan has been traditionally ‘rice country’, though we are also keeping 3,860,000 cattle of dairy and beef, 9,540,000 swine and 308,000,000 chickens, approximately. On the other hand, a population of our farmers has been declined rapidly in this decade. Additionally, our agricultural damage from Sika deer, wild boars, Japanese monkeys, and pest birds would be over 20 billion Japanese yen (about US$ 160,000,000) per year. These problems could occur for everywhere in the world. In such situation, we should consider the sustainability of these animals and human as a society from the ethological viewpoint. Hokkaido is the northernmost island in Japan, and old and new. Up to 150 years ago, AINU people had been mainly living this island as hunter-gatherer. Thereafter, rapid development has been occurred, so this island now is the greatest agricultural area in Japan. Sapporo is the capital city of Hokkaido, having about 2 million populations. She has been famous international city since winter Olympic at 1972. Her summer is cool and dry, but heavy snow in winter. Although Sapporo is now so big city, wild brown bears sometime visit south and west area of this city. Toyohira River, that runs a centre of the city, salmon go back in autumn. If you lucky, you can see. Hokkaido University, is a Congress place, is one of the oldest universities in Japan, established as a Sapporo Agricultural College since 1876. You can see several historic buildings including barns in the campus. Enjoy our Ethology Congress with fruitful discussion and Sapporo life!.

  • The Hokkaido Dialect

    The Hokkaido Dialect

    The Hokkaido Dialect A Standardising Dialect? Michael Kleander Bachelor Thesis Lund University Japanese Studies Centre for languages and literature Spring 2018 Supervisor Shinichiro Ishihara ABSTRACT This thesis explores the standardisation process of the Hokkaido Dialect, a Japanese variety spoken on Japan’s northernmost island. This dialect, in turn, will be compared to the island of Okinawa and its regional equivalent Uchinaa-Yamatoguchi. These islands are parallel to each other as they share similar historical and political events. To investigate the standardisation process and to be able to compare it to Uchinaa-Yamatoguchi, a survey was conducted. The aim of the survey was to investigate the usage of Hokkaido Dialect and the users’ attitudes towards the dialect among three different generations of Dosankos, people from Hokkaido. This study concludes that the standardisation process has been long in the making but that it has slowed down over time. Furthermore, evidence shows that the young generation is more positive about the Hokkaido Dialect than past generations. Based on this, one can conclude that rather than standardising, the dialect is stabilising. Keywords: Hokkaido Dialect, Dosanko, Kokugo, standardisation, language attitudes, language ideology, Standard Japanese, Common Japanese, Okinawa, Uchinaa-Yamatoguch II ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I would like to personally extend my deepest gratitude for everyone that has helped me with my thesis. My deepest thanks to everyone who spread my survey around to Dosankos across Hokkaido, and of course to everyone who took the survey. I would further like to extend my thanks to Maya, I could not have done this thesis without her help, support and the materials I could not have accessed without her.

However, there is little information on other males outside the PROD24, such as those raised under a 30-month production cycle (PROD30) for higher profits. Therefore, we investigated PROD30 males for important carcass traits (carcass weight, eye muscle area, backfat thickness, and marbling score) using a reasonably large dataset to understand their genetic merit. To do so, we estimated the genetic parameters of traits using animal model. Our analysis revealed moderate to high heritability values for the studied traits. The marbling score was found to be highly heritable at 0.56. The genetic correlation between traits was mostly moderate to low, and the backfat thickness was poorly correlated with the marbling score. These results are consistent with many previous reports on PROD24. Our study suggests that PROD30 and PROD24 males might have somewhat similar genetic potential, as well as similar genetic backgrounds. Thus, it could be concluded that there is further scope for PROD30 males to improve Hanwoo males’ overall prediction accuracy, especially under a genomic selection program, together with PROD24 males.

As a railways in major urban areas. For these reasons, the overall result, approximately 670 km of track was closed between number of railway passengers is large and many railway 2000 and 2013. companies are managed as private-sector businesses However, a change in this trend has occurred in recent integrated with infrastructure. However, it will be no easy task years. Many lines still face closure, but the number of cases for private-sector operators to continue to run local railways where public support has rejuvenated local railways is sustainably into the future. rising and the drop in local railway users too is coming to a Outside major urban areas, the number of railway halt (Fig. 1). users is steadily decreasing in Japan amidst structural The next part of this article explains the system and changes, such as accelerating private vehicle ownership recent policy changes in Japan’s local railways, while and accompanying suburbanization, declining population, the third part introduces specific railways where new and declining birth rate.

Email: [email protected] Abstract. Consumer responses were examined in an incomplete factorial design where Australian consumers evaluated 216 beef samples derived from 18 cattle killed in Australia and Korean consumers evaluated 216 samples from the same 18 cattle, plus 216 similar samples from 18 Korean cattle. Samples of the Mm. triceps brachii, longissimus dorsi and semimembranosus were cooked using grill and Korean barbeque methods. Each sample was sensory tested by 10 consumers, who scored it for tenderness, juiciness, like flavour, and overall liking. Consumers then graded each sample as either unsatisfactory (2 star), good every day (3 star), better than every day (4 star), or premium (5 star) quality. For those samples assessed by both Australian and Korean consumers, the Korean consumers graded a higher proportion of samples ‘unsatisfactory’ and a lower proportion of samples ‘premium’ grade product than Australian consumers.

    Relationship Between Carcass Weight and Meat Quality and Antioxidative Dipeptides of Hanwoo (Korean Native Cattle) Beef

    RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN CARCASS WEIGHT AND MEAT QUALITY AND ANTIOXIDATIVE DIPEPTIDES OF HANWOO (KOREAN NATIVE CATTLE) BEEF Dinesh D. Jayasena1, Ki Chang Nam2, Kyung Haeng Lee3, Sun Hyo Kim1, Hae In Yong1 and Cheorun Jo1 1Department of Animal Science and Biotechnology, Chungnam National University, Daejeon, South Korea 2Department of Animal Science and Technology, Sunchon National University, Suncheon, South Korea 3Department of Food and Nutrition, Korea National University of Transportation, Jeungpyeong, South Korea Abstract – Effects of carcass weight of Hanwoo (Korean native cattle) beef on meat quality, antioxidative dipeptides, and sensory attributes were investigated. The carcasses of 250 Hanwoo steers were categorized into light (<375 kg), medium (375–425 kg), and heavy (>425 kg) groups and were evaluated for back fat thickness, rib eye area, and beef marbling score 24 h postmortem by using the Korean carcass grading system. The proximate composition, physicochemical meat quality parameters, and micronutrient components of the longissimus dorsi muscles were analyzed. Rib eye area, back fat thickness, and marbling score significantly increased with increasing carcass weight. Inosine-5′-monophosphate content was significantly higher in medium and heavy carcasses. Carnosine content was significantly higher in medium carcasses. Total saturated fatty acid content and n-6/n-3 ratio decreased as carcass weight increased. Medium and heavy carcasses had significantly higher scores for sensory quality parameters. Overall, medium carcasses of Hanwoo displayed optimal sensory and economic quality and health benefits. Key Words – Beef Quality, Carnosine, Marbling INTRODUCTION The commercialized production of Hanwoo (Korean native cattle) as meat cattle began in the 1960s, accompanying rapid economic growth in the country [1].

Of these species, T. hakonensis is widely distributed in Japan and is important in commercial and recreational fisheries. Two species, T. hakonensis and T. brandtii, exhibit anadromy. In this paper, information on the protistan and metazoan parasites of the four species of Tribolodon in Japan is compiled based on the literature published for 106 years between 1908 and 2013, and the parasites, including 44 named species and those not identified to species level, are listed by higher taxon as follows: Ciliophora (2 named species), Myxozoa (1), Trematoda (18), Monogenea (0), Cestoda (3), Nematoda (9), Acanthocephala (2), Hirudinida (1), Mollusca (1), Branchiura (0), Copepoda (6 ), and Isopoda (1). For each taxon of parasite, the following information is given: its currently recognized scientific name, previous identification used for the parasite occurring in or on Tribolodon spp.; habitat (freshwater, brackish, or marine); site(s) of infection within or on the host; known geographical distribution in Japan; and the published source of each locality record.
