  • A Comparative Research on Japanese Employment System Based on the Theories of David Marsden, James C
    Journal of Economics, Business and Management, Vol. 3, No. 4, April 2015 A Comparative Research on Japanese Employment System Based on the Theories of David Marsden, James C. Abegglen and Ronald P. Dore Sun Yan topic that has been centered on is to explore the international Abstract—The theme of Japanese administration has been a diversity of employment relationship. He aims to solve the hot topic debated during decades and scholars have done their question of why there are such great differences in researches in a various fields over this subject. There are three international employment relations and why firms and outstanding achievements in searching for the truth of Japanese workers should take employment relationships as their employment system made by David Marsden, James Abegglen, and Ronald Dore on behalf of each period. Though numerous economic cooperation basis. Flexibility in employment discussions have been done on each of their typical logics, there relationship not only provides the managers authority of is still no study to string the three together. Of course theories of organizing work, but also sets limitations on obligations of the three consider different periods, stand for different fields or employees. As one of the preventative example in Marsden‟s even view from different perspectives, but they also show discussion [2], Japanese employment system has been factors in common, and the meaning of comparative study lies demonstrated according to this general theory. in their key concepts on Japanese employment system. As the title shows, this paper attempts to make a review It is universal acknowledged that the typical characteristics based on the theories of the three in order to search for an of Japanese administration have been first put forward by 2 integrated understanding of Japanese employment system Abegglen in his book “The Japanese factory: aspects of its through Marsden’s framework, Dore’s detailed data analysis, social organization” published in 1958.

  • Illustration and the Visual Imagination in Modern Japanese Literature By
    Eyes of the Heart: Illustration and the Visual Imagination in Modern Japanese Literature By Pedro Thiago Ramos Bassoe A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor in Philosophy in Japanese Literature in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in Charge: Professor Daniel O’Neill, Chair Professor Alan Tansman Professor Beate Fricke Summer 2018 © 2018 Pedro Thiago Ramos Bassoe All Rights Reserved Abstract Eyes of the Heart: Illustration and the Visual Imagination in Modern Japanese Literature by Pedro Thiago Ramos Bassoe Doctor of Philosophy in Japanese Literature University of California, Berkeley Professor Daniel O’Neill, Chair My dissertation investigates the role of images in shaping literary production in Japan from the 1880’s to the 1930’s as writers negotiated shifting relationships of text and image in the literary and visual arts. Throughout the Edo period (1603-1868), works of fiction were liberally illustrated with woodblock printed images, which, especially towards the mid-19th century, had become an essential component of most popular literature in Japan. With the opening of Japan’s borders in the Meiji period (1868-1912), writers who had grown up reading illustrated fiction were exposed to foreign works of literature that largely eschewed the use of illustration as a medium for storytelling, in turn leading them to reevaluate the role of image in their own literary tradition. As authors endeavored to produce a purely text-based form of fiction, modeled in part on the European novel, they began to reject the inclusion of images in their own work.

  • JAPANESE HISTORY Paul Clark, Ph.D
    HUMANITIES INSTITUTE JAPANESE HISTORY Paul Clark, Ph.D Course Description: This course offers an introduction to the history of Japan from pre-history to the present. We will trace the history of Japan in several different epochs. First, we will investigate how Japanese civilization emerged and how early governments were constituted. Second, we will consider the Yamato Clan and the Nara and Heian periods. Third, we will study the rise of the period dominated by warriors, the first shōgunate and the feudal era. Fourth, we will consider how and why the bakufu (tent government--shōgunate) lost its vitality in the late 18th century and why it was unable to deal with the international crisis which led to its demise. We will discuss the irony of how a military coup d’état, initiated by samurai, led to the dissolution of a samurai-based society and to the construction of the modern Japanese state. Along the way we will study how democracy in the Meiji, Taishō and Shōwa eras failed and led to the militarism of the Pacific War. Fifth, we will discern whether or not the American occupation of Japan led to substantive changes within Japanese culture, economics and government. Finally, we will discuss Japan today. In particular, we will examine modern Japanese society, the government and the enduring problem of the economic recession. About the Professor The course was prepared by Paul Clark, Ph.D. who is an East Asia area specialist and Associate Professor of History at West Texas A&M University. Dr. Clark is the author of The Kokugo Revolution: Education, Identity and Language Policy in Imperial Japan (2009) and is the recipient of a 2006 Fulbright-Hays Faculty Research Abroad Fellowship.

    No. 8] Proc. Jpn. Acad., Ser. B 80 (2004) 359 Review Organoborane coupling reactions (Suzuki coupling) ), ) By Akira SUZUKI* ** Professor Emeritus, Hokkaido University (Communicated by Teruaki MUKAIYAMA, M. J. A.) Abstract: The palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling reaction between different types of organoboron compounds with sp2-, sp3-, and sp-hybridized carbon-boron compounds and various organic electrophiles in the presence of base provides a powerful and useful synthetic methodology for the formation of carbon-car- bon bonds. The coupling reaction offers several advantages: (1) Availability of reactants (2) Mild reaction conditions (3) Water stability (4) Easy use of the reaction both in aqueous and heterogeneous conditions (5) Tolerance of a broad range of functional groups (6) High regio- and stereoselectivity (7) Insignificant effect toward steric hindrance (8) Use of very small amounts of catalysts (9) Utilization as one-pot synthesis (10) Non-toxic reaction Key words: Pd-catalyst; cross-coupling reaction; organoboron compounds; synthesis of conjugated alka- dienes and alkenynes; biaryl synthesis.
