Effects of Large-Scale Releases on the Genetic Structure of Red Sea Bream (Pagrus major, Temminck et Schlegel) Populations in Japan.
2014
Large-scale hatchery releases are carried out for many marine fish species worldwide; nevertheless, the long-term effects of this practice on the genetic structure of natural populations remains unclear. The lack of knowledge is especially evident when independent stock enhancement programs are conducted simultaneously on the same species at different geographical locations, as occurs with red sea bream (Pagrus major, Temminck et Schlegel) in Japan. In this study, we examined the putative effects of intensive offspring releases on the genetic structure of red sea bream populations along the Japanese archipelago by genotyping 848 fish at fifteen microsatellite loci. Our results suggests weak…

Quantifying Excess Deaths Related to Heatwaves under Climate Change Scenarios: A multicountry time series modelling study
2018
Background: Heatwaves are a critical public health problem. There will be an increase in the frequency and severity of heatwaves under changing climate. However, evidence about the impacts of climate change on heatwave-related mortality at a global scale is limited. Methods and findings: We collected historical daily time series of mean temperature and mortality for all causes or nonexternal causes, in periods ranging from January 1, 1984, to December 31, 2015, in 412 communities within 20 countries/regions. We estimated heatwave–mortality associations through a two-stage time series design. Current and future daily mean temperature series were projected under four scenarios of greenhouse g…

Taxonomic review of the fungal-inhabiting plant bug genera Bothriomiris and Dashymenia (Hemiptera: Heteroptera: Miridae: Cylapinae: Bothriomirini), w…
2016
The two closely related and frequently confused genera of the fungal-inhabiting plant bug subfamily Cylapinae, Bothriomiris Kirkaldy, 1902 and Dashymenia Poppius, 1910 are redefined and reviewed. Two new species of Dashymenia, D. artchawakomi, new species and D. gorczycai, new species, are described from Thailand. Bothriomiris capillosus Yasunaga, 2000 and B. yakushima Yasunaga & Miyamoto, 2012 are transferred to the genus Dashymenia Poppius, and a revised key to the two genera is provided. Color habitus images of the adults are given for Dashymenia artchawakomi, D. capillosa, and D. gorczycai. The male genitalic structures of the following species are illustrated: Bothriomiris ernsti Yasun…
Mi.P.A.F. targeted project for evaluation of European and Japanese plum rootstocks in Italy: Results of six years of observations
2007
The Mi.P.A.F. (Italian Ministry of Agriculture) targeted project "National Lists of Recommended Rootstocks and Cultivars", coordinated by Prof. F. Loreti, University of Pisa, aims at evaluating the performance of fruit rootstocks introduced into the Italian nursery market. As part of this project, trials were established to compare some of the most interesting rootstocks for European and Japanese plum in 9 different locations in Italy. The rootstocks tested were: 'Citation-Zaipime', 'GF 31', 'Marianna GF 8/1', 'Ishtara-Ferciana', 'Jaspi-Fereley', 'Julior-Ferdor', 'Myrobalan 29C', 'Myrobalan B', 'MrS 2/5' and 'Myrocal'. In 1995, nine orchards were planted at 5 × 5 m spacing; in each orchard,…
Growing the Otome Game Market: Fan Labor and Otome Game Communities Online
2019
Otome games are a niche category of Japanese games marketed toward women. Outside its country of origin and the infrastructure of the anime media mix, its predominantly female player communities traditionally have defined these games as those that feature romance or dating simulation. In this paper, I look into how fan bloggers talk about their own work in marketing and distributing otome games beyond Japan. In the case of otome game fan blogging, the ability to shape discussions surrounding otome games also relies upon maintaining the image of players as good consumers. Although this work focuses on the practice of fan blogging, it is part of an ongoing study on otome games in English and …

Diplomdarba tēma: „Vairāku priekšmetu integrācijas iespējas Japānas kultūras apguvē”. Darba mērķis: Izpētīt mācību priekšmetu – vizuālās mākslas, literatūras un kulturoloģijas – integrācijas iespējas – mācot par Japānas kultūru – vidusskolas 12. klasē. Pētījumā secināts: Izstrādātie uzdevumi bija atbilstoši skolēnu vecumposmam un psihoemocionālas attīstības īpatnībām. Integrējot vairākus mācību priekšmetus, piedāvātais mācību materiāls, tika apgūts veiksmīgi. Tomēr stundās izmantotā pieeja un metodes ir jāuzlabo un jāpilnveido.
Historical memory and forgetting in the teaching of history : the case of Japan and Italy
2015
En el presente artículo, se revisan algunas investigaciones y publicaciones relevantes donde se analizan aspectos vinculados con la inclusión de la memoria en la enseñanza de la historia (en los casos de Italia y, en mayor medida, Japón) y la conexión existente entre política y gestión de la memoria. Respecto a este último asunto, se evidencia la importancia de la política en relación a la selección y los olvidos en la memoria institucional y cómo los rituales conmemorativos o la construcción de una historia oficial implican un posicionamiento respecto a la memoria. Se observan posicionamientos políticos que determinan la selección de la memoria en la Historia oficial que, al mismo tiempo, …
