How Japanese teachers recognize the stereotypical information in Japanese textbooks : A pilot investigation towards Japanese teachers with full teaching experience
Japanese language textbooks include information about Japanese society and Japanese culture as Japanese learners tend to be interested in such topics (Kondoh and Maruyama, 2001:101) and one of the most important purposes for Japanese learners is to get knowledge of Japanese habitual customs and culture (Byram, 1997:45; Kumagaya, 2008:213). On the other hand, Japanese language education has been criticized from other fields of research, as in the case of a sociologist who saw Japanese teachers as reproducing Nihonjinron (Theories of Japanese uniqueness) enthusiastically discussed between the 1970’s and the beginning of the 1980’s (Yoshino, 1997), and a comment from a intercultural education scholar who criticized Japanese teachers for their inadequate sensitivity towards cultural stereotypes (Kurachi, 2003). An important point of our research is the analysis of the influence of stereotypical information in Japanese textbooks to Japanese learners. In addition because of the indication that the Japanese teachers who lie between the textbook and Japanese learners reinforces the cultural stereotypes on the textbooks, we are going to investigate how the Japanese teachers recognize the stereotypical information in Japanese textbooks. This paper reports the result of the pilot investigation towards 11 Japanese teachers with full teaching experience. It points out the existence of the Japanese teachers who have awareness of the stereotypes on the Japanese text, the inclination of the points they point out as stereotypical information differing from Kurachi(2003), and the individual differences of judgment based on their individual experiences.departmental bulletin pape

Observation of D_s1(2536)^+ → D^+π^-K^+ and angular decomposition of D_s1(2536)^+ →D^*+K_S^0
Using 462 fb^{-1} of e^+e^- annihilation data recorded by the Belle detector, we report the first observation of the decay D_s1(2536)^+ → D+π^-K^+. The ratio of branching fractions \frac{B(D_s1(2536)^+ → D^+π^- K^+}{B(D_s1(2536)^+ → D+K^0}is measured to be (3.27±0.18±0.37)%. We also study the angular distributions in the D_s1(2536)^+ →D*+K_S^0 decay and measure the ratio of D- and S-wave amplitudes. The S-wave dominates, with a partial width of Γ_S/Γtotal=0.72±0.05±0.01.journal articl
Table1_Mungbean DIRIGENT Gene Subfamilies and Their Expression Profiles Under Salt and Drought Stresses.docx
DIRIGENT (DIR) genes are key players in environmental stress responses that have been identified in many vascular plant species. However, few studies have examined the VrDIR genes in mungbean. In this study, we characterized 37 VrDIR genes in mungbean using a genome-wide identification method. VrDIRs were distributed on seven of the 11 mungbean chromosomes, and chromosome three contained the most VrDIR genes, with seven members. Thirty-two of the 37 VrDIRs contained a typical DIR gene structure, with one exon; the conserved DIR domain (i.e., Pfam domain) occupied most of the protein in 33 of the 37 VrDIRs. The gene structures of VrDIR genes were analyzed, and a total of 19 distinct motifs were detected. VrDIR genes were classified into five groups based on their phylogenetic relationships, and 13 duplicated gene pairs were identified. In addition, a total of 92 cis-acting elements were detected in all 37 VrDIR promoter regions, and VrDIR genes contained different numbers and types of cis-acting elements. As a result, VrDIR genes showed distinct expression patterns in different tissues and in response to salt and drought stress.</p
