  • An Efficient Way for Statistical Review Using the Rshiny Application
    PhUSE EU Connect 2018 Paper AD03 An Efficient Way for Statistical Review Using the RShiny Application Adarsh Nagare, Cytel, Pune, India Sameer Bamnote, Cytel, Pune, India ABSTRACT Statisticians often need to review critical reports before study submissions. Many reports include outputs based on statistical testing or model-based analysis. To ensure the accuracy of these reports, most of the time the Statistician needs to writes independent code. In case of tight timelines, it may not be feasible and quality of review can be impacted. To address this we describe use of an application that can save time for the Statistician. This application was created using open-source software R and Shiny, providing an efficient, time saving solution for review of critical statistical outputs without the need for extensive code writing. The aim is to review results for t-tests, AN(C)OVA, their non-parametric alternatives and model-based analysis which are performed in SAS®. User has flexibility to provide input data in excel, csv or SAS format. User can select the statistical test (or specify the model) as per requirement and statistical outputs will be just a click away. This paper demonstrates the application with a variety of illustrations. INTRODUCTION The authors work with clients from clinical research and FMCG field as Statisticians. As a part of the role we have to deal with programmers routinely to do the desired work (i.e. Tables, Listings and Figures) required for various reports. Most of the time, as a Statistician we need to validate the results for modelling or statistical tests or cross check them by writing independent code to ensure accuracy of the results, prior to the submissions.

  • Contemporary Popular Beliefs in Japan
    Hugvísindasvið Contemporary popular beliefs in Japan Ritgerð til B.A.-prófs Lára Ósk Hafbergsdóttir September 2010 Háskóli Íslands Hugvísindadeild Japanskt mál og menning Contemporary popular beliefs in Japan Ritgerð til B.A.-prófs Lára Ósk Hafbergsdóttir Kt.: 130784-3219 Leiðbeinandi: Gunnella Þorgeirsdóttir September 2010 Abstract This thesis discusses contemporary popular beliefs in Japan. It asks the questions what superstitions are generally known to Japanese people and if they have any affects on their behavior and daily lives. The thesis is divided into four main chapters. The introduction examines what is normally considered to be superstitious beliefs as well as Japanese superstition in general. The second chapter handles the methodology of the survey written and distributed by the author. Third chapter is on the background research and analysis which is divided into smaller chapters each covering different categories of superstitions that can be found in Japan. Superstitions related to childhood, death and funerals, lucky charms like omamori and maneki neko and various lucky days and years especially yakudoshi and hinoeuma are closely examined. The fourth and last chapter contains the conclusion and discussion which covers briefly the results of the survey and what other things might be of interest to investigate further.

  • HIRATA KOKUGAKU and the TSUGARU DISCIPLES by Gideon
    SPIRITS AND IDENTITY IN NINETEENTH-CENTURY NORTHEASTERN JAPAN: HIRATA KOKUGAKU AND THE TSUGARU DISCIPLES by Gideon Fujiwara A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY in The Faculty of Graduate Studies (Asian Studies) THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA (Vancouver) April 2013 © Gideon Fujiwara, 2013 ABSTRACT While previous research on kokugaku , or nativism, has explained how intellectuals imagined the singular community of Japan, this study sheds light on how posthumous disciples of Hirata Atsutane based in Tsugaru juxtaposed two “countries”—their native Tsugaru and Imperial Japan—as they transitioned from early modern to modern society in the nineteenth century. This new perspective recognizes the multiplicity of community in “Japan,” which encompasses the domain, multiple levels of statehood, and “nation,” as uncovered in recent scholarship. My analysis accentuates the shared concerns of Atsutane and the Tsugaru nativists toward spirits and the spiritual realm, ethnographic studies of commoners, identification with the north, and religious thought and worship. I chronicle the formation of this scholarly community through their correspondence with the head academy in Edo (later Tokyo), and identify their autonomous character. Hirao Rosen conducted ethnography of Tsugaru and the “world” through visiting the northern island of Ezo in 1855, and observing Americans, Europeans, and Qing Chinese stationed there. I show how Rosen engaged in self-orientation and utilized Hirata nativist theory to locate Tsugaru within the spiritual landscape of Imperial Japan. Through poetry and prose, leader Tsuruya Ariyo identified Mount Iwaki as a sacred pillar of Tsugaru, and insisted one could experience “enjoyment” from this life and beyond death in the realm of spirits.

  • Japan Has Always Held an Important Place in Modern World Affairs, Switching Sides From
    Japan has always held an important place in modern world affairs, switching sides from WWI to WWII and always being at the forefront of technology. Yet, Japan never came up as much as China, Mongolia, and other East Asian kingdoms as we studied history at school. Why was that? Delving into Japanese history we found the reason; much of Japan’s history was comprised of sakoku, a barrier between it and the Western world, which wrote most of its history. How did this barrier break and Japan leap to power? This was the question we set out on an expedition to answer. With preliminary knowledge on Matthew Perry, we began research on sakoku’s history. We worked towards a middle; researching sakoku’s implementation, the West’s attempt to break it, and the impacts of Japan’s globalization. These three topics converged at the pivotal moment when Commodore Perry arrived in Japan and opened two of its ports through the Convention of Kanagawa. To further our knowledge on Perry’s arrival and the fall of the Tokugawa in particular, we borrowed several books from our local library and reached out to several professors. Rhoda Blumberg’s Commodore Perry in the Land of the Shogun presented rich detail ​ ​ into Perry’s arrival in Japan, while Professor Emi Foulk Bushelle of WWU answered several of our queries and gave us a valuable document with letters written by two Japanese officials. Professor John W. Dower’s website on MIT Visualizing Cultures offered analysis of several primary sources, including images and illustrations that represented the US and Japan’s perceptions of each other.

  • Feature-Neujahr
    10 Feature I Das Neujahrsfest in Japan Einleitung Das wichtigste Jahresfest Japans ist das Neujahrsfest. In Japan galt ursprünglich der Mondkalender, dessen Monate von Vollmond zu Vollmond 29,53 Tage dauerten. Der zugleich als Frühlingsanfang gefeierte Neujahrstag lag damals auf dem etwa 4-6 Wochen nach unserem heutigen Jahresbeginn liegenden ersten Vollmondtag des neuen Mondjahres. Als der japanische Kaiserhof 604 n. Chr. aus China den Mond- Sonnen-Kalender übernahm, verlegte er den Jahresbeginn auf den Neumondtag. Da der tatsächliche Frühlingsbeginn in Japan, wo im Februar u.a. schon die Pflaumen blühen, jedoch näher an dem alten Vollmond-Neujahrstermin liegt, beschränkten sich die Neujahrsfeiern am ersten Neumondtag anfangs auf den Kaiserhof und Hofadel. Das Volk hielt lange seinem durch den neuen Kalender auf den 15.1. ge- rutschten „Vollmond-Neujahrstag“ die Treue und ging erst allmählich dazu über, zu- sätzlich auch das von der Obrigkeit propagierte, an Neumond liegende neue Neujahr zu feiern. So kam es, dass sich die regional z.T. mit sehr unterschiedlichen Ritualen und Bräuchen begangene Neujahrszeit bald vom 1.1. bis zum 16.1. (Mondsonnen- Monat) erstreckte. Die Tage vom 1. bis zum 3.1. (mancherorts auch bis zum 5., 7., oder 14.1) werden als Großes Neujahr (ō-shōgatsu) und die Tage um den 15.1. (meist der 14. bis 16.1.) als Kleines Neujahr (ko-shōgatsu) bezeichnet. Seit der Einführung des gregorianischen Kalenders 1872 in Japan wird Neujahr fast überall zwischen dem 1. und 16. Januar gefeiert. Nur sehr wenige Gemeinden voll- ziehen zusätzlich zum modernen Neujahr heute noch einige Neujahrsriten an den traditionellen Terminen des Mond-Sonnen-Kalenders.

  • Childbearing in Japanese Society: Traditional Beliefs and Contemporary Practices
    Childbearing in Japanese Society: Traditional Beliefs and Contemporary Practices by Gunnella Thorgeirsdottir A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy The University of Sheffield Faculty of Social Sciences School of East Asian Studies August 2014 ii iii iv Abstract In recent years there has been an oft-held assumption as to the decline of traditions as well as folk belief amidst the technological modern age. The current thesis seeks to bring to light the various rituals, traditions and beliefs surrounding pregnancy in Japanese society, arguing that, although changed, they are still very much alive and a large part of the pregnancy experience. Current perception and ideas were gathered through a series of in depth interviews with 31 Japanese females of varying ages and socio-cultural backgrounds. These current perceptions were then compared to and contrasted with historical data of a folkloristic nature, seeking to highlight developments and seek out continuities. This was done within the theoretical framework of the liminal nature of that which is betwixt and between as set forth by Victor Turner, as well as theories set forth by Mary Douglas and her ideas of the polluting element of the liminal. It quickly became obvious that the beliefs were still strong having though developed from a person-to- person communication and into a set of knowledge aquired by the mother largely from books, magazines and or offline. v vi Acknowledgements This thesis would never have been written had it not been for the endless assistance, patience and good will of a good number of people.

Almost all are Japanese terms. The dictionary can be used in the ordinary way if the Shintō term you want to look up is already in Japanese (e.g. kami rather than ‘deity’) and has a main entry in the dictionary. If, as is very likely, the concept or word you want is in English such as ‘pollution’, ‘children’, ‘shrine’, etc., or perhaps a place-name like ‘Kyōto’ or ‘Akita’ which does not have a main entry, then consult the comprehensive Thematic Index of English and Japanese terms at the end of the Dictionary first.
