Institute of Industrial Science, the University of Tokyo, Japan email: [email protected] Abstract It is crucial to change the behaviour of individuals to reduce CO2 emissions. The goal of this study was to conduct a survey experiment to identify factors that can change the environmental friendliness of individuals in terms of values, belief, concern, controllability, attitude, intention, and behaviour and to use the data to test the hypothesis that providing information about the amount of CO2 emissions attributable to an individual motivates him/her to reduce that amount. The subjects were 102 students at Shiga University in Japan. They were provided with communication opportunities, information about individual or group CO2 emissions, and information about a threshold value provided in the Paris Agreement. -

Now we installed the CANDLES III system at the Kamioka underground laboratory. The CANDLES III system realizes the low background condition by a characteristic structure and data analyses for background rejection. Here we report performances of the CANDLES III system. 1 Double beta decay of 48Ca The neutrino-less double beta decay (0νββ) is acquiring great interest after the confirmation of neutrino oscillation which demonstrated nonzero neutrino mass. -

Community Capability Building for Environmental Conservation in Lake Biwa (Japan) Through an Adaptive and Abductive Approach
Socio-Ecological Practice Research https://doi.org/10.1007/s42532-021-00078-3 RESEARCH ARTICLE Community capability building for environmental conservation in Lake Biwa (Japan) through an adaptive and abductive approach Yasuhisa Kondo1,2 · Eiichi Fujisawa3,2 · Kanako Ishikawa4 · Satoe Nakahara1 · Kyohei Matsushita5 · Satoshi Asano6,1 · Kaoru Kamatani7,1 · Satoko Suetsugu1 · Kei Kano8,1 · Terukazu Kumazawa1 · Kenichi Sato9,1 · Noboru Okuda10,1 Received: 15 September 2020 / Accepted: 16 March 2021 © The Author(s) 2021 Abstract In the south basin of Lake Biwa, Shiga, Japan, overgrown aquatic weeds (submerged macrophytes) impede cruising boats and cause unpleasant odors and undesirable waste when washed ashore. To address this socio-ecological problem, Shiga Prefectural Government implemented a public program to remove overgrown weeds and compost them ashore to conserve the lake environment, while coastal inhabitants and occasional volunteers remove weeds from the beaches to maintain the quality of the living environment. However, these efects are limited because of disjointed social networks. We applied an adaptive and abductive approach to develop community capability to jointly address this problem by sharing academic knowl- edge with local actors and empowering them. The initial multifaceted reviews, including interviews and postal questionnaire surveys, revealed that the agro-economic value of composted weeds declined in historical and socio-psychological contexts and that most of the unengaged public relied on local governments to address environmental problems. These fndings were synthesized and assessed with workshop participants, including local inhabitants, governmental agents, businesspeople, social entrepreneurs, and research experts, to unearth the best solution. The workshops resulted in the development of an e-point system, called Biwa Point, to promote and acknowledge voluntary environmental conservation activities, including beach cleaning. -
News from the Language Teaching World: Captivating Methods and Technologies to Make Learning More Effective for GEN Z
News from the Language Teaching World: captivating methods and technologies to make learning more effective for GEN Z CONFERENCE PROGRAM HANDBOOK In conjunction with Italy TESOL, Messina Chapter March 2, 2020 2 3 A Message from the Japan Coordinator w Philip Salvatore Riccobono This conference has personal meaning to me. In 1915, at age 15, my grandfather, Salvatore Riccobono, took a chance on leaving this island by ship for a new world. Departing this picturesque island rich in ancient history, with less than 20USD in his pocket for a journey to America, he made a life for himself in New York as a wood craftsman. His solid work ethic embedded from his Sicilian roots were passed on to me. Well, I imagine him full of pleasure, learning that I have returned to his birthplace supporting academia on the island along with exceptional language teachers from Japan, making a contribution to the very language he struggled to learn, English. Thus, perhaps today, my family’s roots have come full-circle here with all my grandparents’ blood lines traced back to Italy. Therefore, I thank you all for allowing our international delegation (who live across Japan) to visit your lovely island, participating in this special event. Socially conscious, well-informed and quick to organize behind a cause: by 2030, Asia's Generation Z will be 960 million people strong (Asian Review, 2019). This generation has an easier and faster link to data, the Internet, and social media, creating easy access to English. They struggle less with 4 technology than prior generations, so today’s English language practitioners face the task of competing with multiple platforms.
