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.

    Accelerator-based BNCT system in Nagoya University (1) - Project status - kazuki tsuchida Nagoya university, Japan Email: [email protected] akira uritani Nagoya university, Japan yoshiaki kiyanagi Nagoya university, Japan sachiko yoshihashi Nagoya university, Japan kenichi watanabe Nagoya university, Japan shogo honda Nagoya university, Japan akihisa ishikawa Nagoya university, Japan keisuke abo Nagoya university, Japan atsushi yamazaki Nagoya university, Japan yukio tsurita Nagoya university, Japan kazuyo igawa okayama university, Japan hiroyuki michiue okayama university, Japan shuichi furuya okayama university, Japan yasuaki ichikawa okayama university, Japan go ichikawa nagoya university, Japan A low energy proton reaction using lithium is one of the most suitable reactions for the accelerator- based BNCT, because a sufficient flux and good quality of epi-thermal neutron beam can be obtained by using a compact beam shaping assembly (BSA) and low activation of accelerator facility reduces the radiation exposur for medical staffs. However, metalic lithium has several difficulties in chemical properties (low melting point, high chemical activity and 7Be production) as a target material. For resolving those isssues, we have developed a compact and sealed Li target in combination with a DC accelerator. We have constructed a compact accelerator-driven neutron source to confirm the practical reliability and performance of the sealed lithium target for the BNCT application in the Nagoya University. Metalic lithium on the target base plate is covered by a titanium foil. Low-energy and high current proton beam (2.8MeV, 15mA) is passing through the titanium foil and irradiates the lithium (Beam power density < 7MW/m2). Strong turbulent flow is arose with ribs in cooling water channels of the target and have been confirmed to be able to remove high beam flux.

  • Modeling Residential and Workplace Location Assessment on Car Commuting Energy
    Transactions on the Built Environment vol 41, © 1999 WIT Press, www.witpress.com, ISSN 1743-3509 Modeling residential and workplace location assessment on car commuting energy S.MyojinO),H.AbeO) ^Faculty of Environmental Science and Technology, Okayama University, 700-8530, Okayama, Japan Email: [email protected] Abstract A model for assessing resident and workplace location on energy for car commute to work is dealt with in the paper. The paper consists of two parts : model building and assessing simplified location patterns. The model is composed of five submodels : location patterns, commute trip distribution, spatial distribution of commute trip density, road traffic speed and energy calculation. Three simplified location patterns are set to resident and workplace respectively, so nine sets of locations are put under assessment The study area is assumed to be circular. The location sets together with commute length distribution form respective spatial distribution of car commute trip density in the area The density is converted to traffic speed Car commuting energy is calculated by applying traffic speed-energy function to the speed distribution. Population is included in some of the submodels so that the model may be applicable over the wide range of population size. The model proved effective for the assessment on the whole on examination of the calculated average traffic speed against the observed in several Japanese cities of different population. The spatial distributions of car commute trip density are grouped into any one of bell, plate and plateau types. Plate typs is dented at and near the center and the plateau is intermediate between bell and plate.

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.
