  • Japanese Native Speakers' Attitudes Towards
    JAPANESE NATIVE SPEAKERS’ ATTITUDES TOWARDS ATTENTION-GETTING NE OF INTIMACY IN RELATION TO JAPANESE FEMININITIES THESIS Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for The Degree Master of Arts in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Atsuko Oyama, M.E. * * * * * The Ohio State University 2008 Master’s Examination Committee: Approved by Professor Mari Noda, Advisor Professor Mineharu Nakayama Advisor Professor Kathryn Campbell-Kibler Graduate Program in East Asian Languages and Literatures ABSTRACT This thesis investigates Japanese people’s perceptions of the speakers who use “attention-getting ne of intimacy” in discourse in relation to femininity. The attention- getting ne of intimacy is the particle ne that is used within utterances with a flat or a rising intonation. It is commonly assumed that this attention-getting ne is frequently used by children as well as women. Feminine connotations attached to this attention-getting ne when used by men are also noted. The attention-getting ne of intimacy is also said to connote both intimate and over-friendly impressions. On the other hand, recent studies on Japanese femininity have proposed new images that portrays figures of immature and feminine women. Assuming the similarity between the attention-getting ne and new images of Japanese femininity, this thesis aims to reveal the relationship between them. In order to investigate listeners’ perceptions of women who use the attention- getting ne of intimacy with respect to femininity, this thesis employs the matched-guise technique as its primary methodological choice using the presence of attention-getting ne of intimacy as its variable. In addition to the implicit reactions obtained in the matched- guise technique, people’s explicit thoughts regarding being onnarashii ‘womanly’ and kawairashii ‘endearing’ were also collected in the experiment.

  • Introduction
    Introduction The Ohio Japan Project began in the mid-1980’s when Ohio agreed to join with Michigan, Minnesota, and Wisconsin to form The Great Lakes in the Schools Project, funded by the U.S.-Japan Foundation. The members of the project from Ohio developed a series of lessons on Japan. During a trip to Japan in 1988, the Ohio team discussed these lessons with educators in Japan and had them formally critiqued by the International Society for Educational Information, Inc. in Tokyo. The society published a version of the lessons in Japan, while in Ohio they were published as Learning About Our World: Japan. Again with funding form the U.S.-Japan Foundation, the Ohio Japan Project sent a delegation of teachers in Ohio to Japan for two weeks in June-July, 2001. While there, the teachers gathered information to update the lessons previously published and to develop new ones, which reflect more current developments in Japan. Before and during the trip to Japan, the participants spent a great deal of time studying how the Japanese develop lessons that enhance deeper understanding by the students of the concepts to be taught. These lessons reflect the way Japanese teachers construct their lessons to accomplish that deeper level of knowledge and skill development. In this way, students retain the information for a longer period of time, which will help them be more successful on the future state achievement tests and the Ohio Graduation Test. The original publication of lessons identified the connections to the social studies and foreign languages curriculum models.

  • 4. JAPAN 4.1 Levels of Priority for Mdgs 4 and 5
    Global Business Plan for Millennium Development Goals 4 & 5 Advocacy Plan Phase I: Research and Mapping 4. JAPAN 4.1 Levels of priority for MDGs 4 and 5 Health is located under the ‘human security’ pillar of Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA)’s approach to development cooperation. Within health, JICA places particular emphasis on measures to fight infectious diseases such as HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis, and parasitic diseases, as well as on efforts to promote reproductive health, including maternal and child health and family planning”31. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs is much more committed to infectious diseases, MDG 6, than MDGs 4 and 5. JICA groups together its efforts to reduce child mortality (MDG 4) and to improve maternal health (MDG 5) under the title ‘maternal and child health’ in its report on contribution to achieving the MDGs32. JICA takes an integrated approach to improving the health outcomes of mothers and children, and links women’s health explicitly to a lifelong improvement in reproductive health33. This approach echoes the continuum of care approach manifest in the ‘MCH Handbook’ that is used in Japan, and is now being promoted in several developing countries. Whilst the health of newborns is not made explicit in JICA policy documents, it is implicit in its approach to MCH. The Reproductive Health Team of JICA is in the process of developing a Reproductive Health document (to include maternal health) and a separate Child Health document (English versions due late 2007). The RH Document will set out JICA’s strategic direction and will place priority on countries with high RH needs, defined in terms of MMR, progress towards meeting ICPD objectives and progress towards meeting MDGs.

  • Global Annual Results Report 2019 : Goal Area 4
    GOAL AREA 4 Every child lives in a safe and clean environment Global Annual Results Report 2019 PARTNER TESTIMONIALS “The Government of the Netherlands supports access to water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) as a human right and as the starting point for a healthy and dignified life, leaving no one behind and respecting the principles of non-discrimination and equality. Access to WASH is a basic condition to enable every person on our planet to live up to his or her full potential and to prosper. In 2015 the Netherlands pledged to provide 30 million people with access to safe drinking water and 50 million people with access to safe sanitation by 2030, supporting SDG 6. Sustainable service provision is a precondition to make our pledge come true and to last. For many years UNICEF has proven to be a critical, trusted and dedicated partner in contributing to Dutch ambitions, both in reaching millions of people and in policy development, such as in the field of sustainability. UNICEF has been essential in the design and implementation of a sustainability framework consisting of sustainability compacts with receiving governments, sustainability checks and management responses, that has now been rolled out in more than 30 countries. Moreover, UNICEF is a thought leader in system analysis and system strengthening which is needed to reach sustainability. We are looking forward to continue our partnership with UNICEF in the coming years to make sure that WASH facilities are made available for all, and remain available, for now and in the future.” - Karin Roelofs, Head of Water Section, Directorate-General for International Cooperation, The Netherlands “Sanitation is one of the most complex areas of development.
