Improving Oral Fluency Practice in Presentation Classes through"Structured Fluency Practice Model"

In this 21st century, there has been a growing demand for graduates to level up their communicative competencies, particularly in speaking and presentation. In Japan, EFL students are exposed to rigorous English studies in college; therefore, there is a greater need to learn the skill. This paper aims to introduce a "structured presentation practice model" and outline its benefits for presentation practice. It also aims to describe the benefits of this structured presentation practice and explain how learners can benefit from this practice. This article will also describe the pedagogical rationale behind the method and how it could benefit Japanese students for effectively practicing their fluency for presentation. The author implemented this pedagogical style of practicing the presentation for a year and found that, in general, students responded well and enjoyed it.departmental bulletin pape

Biochemical characterization of the Mycobacterium tuberculosis phosphoribosyl-1-pyrophosphate synthetase

Mycobacterium tuberculosis arabinogalactan (AG) is an essential cell wall component. It provides a molecular framework serving to connect peptidoglycan to the outer mycolic acid layer. The biosynthesis of the arabinan domains of AG and lipoarabinomannan (LAM), occurs via a combination of membrane bound arabinofuranosyltransferases, all of which utilise decaprenol-1-monophosphorabinose as a substrate (DPA). The source of arabinose ultimately destined for deposition into cell wall AG or LAM, originates exclusively from phosphoribosyl-1-pyrophosphate (pRpp), a central metabolite which is also required for other essential metabolic processes, such as de novo purine and pyrimidne biosynthesis. In M. tuberculosis, a single pRpp synthetase enzyme (Mt-PrsA) is soley responsible for the generation of pRpp, by catalysing the transfer of pyrophosphate from ATP to the C1 hydroxyl position of ribose-5-phosphate. Here, we report a detailed biochemical and biophysical study of Mt-PrsA, which exhibits the most rapid enzyme kinetics reported for a pRpp synthetase

Modernization and Tsushima Current Region Ama's(Man and Woman Divers) Fishery Strategies

アマ(海女・海士)とは、自分の息に頼って魚介類や海藻類の採取活動をし、潜水魚を専業とする人や潜水機漁、矛突き漁などの漁業活動も併行して行う人々を指す。ここでは潜らず貝類や海藻類などを採取する人は分析対象外とする。アマの漁業形態にはフンドウアマとオケアマがある。フンドウアマは水深の深いところを漁場として分銅を持って潜るアマをさす。一方、オケアマは漁場まで桶を持って泳いでいくか、船で移動して漁を行うアマのことをさす。 近年、アマの数は高齢化と資源の減少などで減りつつある。本研究では、近代化以降、資源の乱獲と保全の相克の中、生計を営んでいるアマの漁業戦略を通して持続的資源利用の可能性を考える。departmental bulletin pape

Precipitation And Its Impacts For Global Scale Rice Production

Rice plays a major role in the global supply and demand for sustainable food production. Rice production has consistently outpaced population growth. Thus, rice plays a crucial role in supporting continued global population growth. The progress of technology, irrigation and rice varieties made it possible for farmers to produce more rice with tolerance for climate change. In 1992, because of abnormal climatic conditions, the yield of rice in Japan fell to less than 90% that of annual average production, where the technology for agriculture is thought to be well developed. At that time, Japan had to import rice. Thus the impact of climate change cannot be ignored. When discussing yield of rice, the impact of climatic conditions should be discussed. In this study, we focused on the relationships between yield of rice and precipitation datasets. Monthly precipitation datasets are provided from Global Precipitation Climatology Centre in Germany (hereafter we called “GPCC”). The resolution of GPCC is 0.5 degree and from west to east, numbers of columns are 720 and from north to south, numbers of rows are 360 and covers from January 1900 to December 2007. Datasets from January 1981 to December 2003 are used to calculate the country based relationships in this study. The Cropping Calendar dataset includes spatial information and provides five patterns such as Planting, Vegetative, Heading, Filling and Harvesting. The resolution of the cropping calendar is almost the same that of GPCC. According to the cropping calendar, the lifecycle of rice which includes five patterns in each country is obtained. Single regression analysis is used to calculate the relationships among time series of monthly precipitation datasets and yield of rice. In another words, yield of rice is a function of GPCC. Due to data limitations and variety of resolutions of datasets, we could only use country based datasets to obtain the equations. The country based rice production per unit area in each country is calculated by dividing the rice production figures provided by the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) by the rice cultivation area.conference pape
