THE GEOGRAPHICAL STUDY OF "KAGIGATA" RURAL HOUSES IN EASTERN PART OF JAPAN
Get PDFAs a result of inquiring into the destribution of rural houses in eastern part of Japan and it's elements besed on using the symbol of “Kagigata” in one fifiy thousandth of topographical map, the author has been investigating follows. 1. The constraction of “Kagigata” rural houses in the East Japan are widely destributed in it's regions. The density of its destribution is high in the Pacific side of Japan and low in the Cost of Japan Sea. The region of the high distribution is exist not only plains but also Mountain areas sometimes. There has been expressed the differences by the combination of geographical and natural of these elements: such as, industry, tradition, topography, direction, wind, etc. 2. There are remarkably distenguished the centers of destribution in both areas, north, and south of Pacific side of Japan: by way of illustration, one of the most excelent one is “Tsunoya” Region distributed in eastern part of Saitama Prefecture. 3. In the middle region of its destribution there are Sendai Plain, Honjyo Plain, Yonezawa Basin, and Akita-Yamagata Prefectures where has been destributed from Takasaki to Fukaya Region. Constraction of “Kagigata” rural houses of “Chumonzukuri” which are two storied houses is different type in the destribution of middle region respectting their social standing in heavy show region. 4. The region of low destribution is united with frontier regions: namely, Ohu Mountain Range, Dewa Hilly Region and Mikuni Mountain Range. 5. Statistically, there are some destinctly observational relationships between “Magariya” of Iwate prefecture at present and the horse producting region in past time; it is coefficient of correlation caluclated 0.704. By change of industrial costraetion after the World war 2, there has been progressibly showing a little changes in the rural houses of constractional houses: beside this, some changes in ivirons of cities by influence of urbanization are caused; especially “Tsunoya”, in Kanto region around Tokyo, is remarkable of its phenomenon. 6. For the element of the destribution of “Kagigata” house in river valley plain, it is profound influences on strong wind with compound of valley direction and wind direction. For the element of destribution of “Magariya” in Iwate Prefecture, Kitakami Mountain Region, the consequence of wind direction can be indicated more than its industrial element. Constraction of “Kagigata” house of “Tsunoya” has been built for preventing tyhoon temporarilly, against passing strong wind; also, catching sun right rationally in winter, which is cold prrof constraction. Including all those illustrations, natural motives are very important.論説Articlesdepartmental bulletin pape

Validity of a selective recall method for assessing water intake and its relationship with hydration status
No full textOBJECTIVE: We previously established a descriptive dietary record method that accurately quantifies habitual water intake from food and beverages, to ascertain the relationship between water intake and health. Here, we verified the validity of a selective recall method, which is easy for users to answer and analyze.PATIENTS AND METHODS: Japanese men and women aged 20-44 years (n = 16) and 45-64 years (n = 16) participated over three working days and one non-working day. The day following each of the surveyed days, participants collected their first morning urine for urinalysis and completed a selective recall and descriptive dietary record questionnaire.RESULTS: The two methods of determining water intake were positively correlated (r = 0.94, p < 0.0001). Water intake volumes from non-alcoholic beverages (r = 0.94, p < 0.0001), alcoholic beverages (r = 1.00, p < 0.0001), and food (r = 0.72, p < 0.0001), calculated using the two methods, exhibited strong correlation. No correlation was observed between urinalysis parameters and total water intake. A significant, negative correlation was observed between urine osmolarity and total water intake in men (r = -0.55, p = 0.0011) and women (r = -0.51, p = 0.0032) aged 20-44 years.CONCLUSIONS: Selective recall is a valid method for assessing water intake from food and beverages.journal articl
