Andrei Sinyavsky and the discourse of madness : psychiatry and punishment in Russia

1966年のシニャフスキー＝ダニエル裁判に焦点を当てながら、本論ではロシア精神医学史を見ながらロシアにおける狂気の言説について考える。狂気の問題はガルシン『赤い花』やチェーホフ『第6病棟』で書かれ、ソ連の精神医学の政治利用はミシェル・フーコーなど西欧知識人の興味を惹き続けてきた。「狂気」と精神医学の関係は変化してきたものの、現代でもプッシー・ライオット事件の際の精神鑑定に政治利用は残っている。This paper deals with the discourse of madness in the history of Russian psychiatry, focusing on the Sinyavsky-Daniel Trial in 1966. Garshin's "A Red Flower"(1883) and Chekhov's "Ward No.6"(1892) touched upon the problem of madness. And political use of Soviet psychiatry has garnered attention from Michel Foucault and other Western intellectuals. According to Amada, the history of Soviet psychiatry is divided into three periods: period of psychiatrization (from the end of 18th century to 1930s), de-psychiatrization (1930s-1940s) and re-psychiatrization(from the post-war period to 1960s). Even in contemporary Russia we see the political use of psychiatry in Pussy riot trial in 2012.論文(Article)application/pdfdepartmental bulletin pape

Марк Слоним в истории русской эмигрантской литературы

ロシア出身の文学者マルク・スローニムについて、彼の記した「ロシア文学史」をロシア文学史そのものの研究史や、ロシア文学に対するアプローチの歴史の中に位置付け、先駆者であるドミトリー・スビャトポルク＝ミルスキーや、グレープ・ストルーヴェといった人物の記した英文の「ロシア文学史」との比較によりスローニム自身の「亡命ロシア文学」に対する変化を、新たに公開されたアーカイヴ資料やCIA資料の中に考察する。This paper deals with the history of writing "History of Russian Literature" in the biography of Russian émigré literary scholar Marc Slonim in light of recent researches on his Italian period(Garzonio) and the period of Sarah Lawrence College(Frazier). Comparing his books with those of his precursors(Mirsky and Struve), this paper sheds light on his ignorance of Russian émigré literature in his books and his active participation to help Russian émigré writers of the Third Wave(Sinyavsky and Daniel). Based on the archival materials from Boston University and CIA archival documents, this paper examines the works of Slonim on Russian émigré literature.グローバル地域文化学部開設10周年記念号論文(Article)application/pdfdepartmental bulletin pape

Investigation of epitaxial arrangement and electronic structure of a La@ C-82 film grown on an MoS2 surface

Molecular arrangement and electronic structure of a La@C-82 film epitaxially grown on an MoS2 surface have been studied using reflection high-energy electron diffraction and electron energy-loss spectroscopy (EELS). It was revealed that La@C-82 molecules form a close-packed hexagonal lattice on a cleaved face of MoS2 with the intermolecular distance of 1.13+/-0.03 nm. EELS of the La@C-82 film in the valence excitation region indicated seven peaks coming from pi-->pi* transitions together with the pi-plasmon excitation. The absence of a distinct band gap means that the La@C-82 epitaxial him is not semiconducting, but metallic or semimetallic. From the EELS result, we propose an electronic structure diagram of the La@C-82 epitaxial film.Copyright notice(c)2000 American Physical Society. All rights reserved.

Measurement of branching fraction and time-dependent CP asymmetry parameters in B^0 → D^*+D^*-K^{0}_{S}decays

We present a measurement of the branching fraction and time-dependent CP violation parameters for B^0 → D^*+D^*-K^{0}_{S} decays. These results are obtained from a 414 fb^{-1} data sample that contains 449×10^6 B\bar{B} pairs collected at the Υ(4S) resonance with the Belle detector at the KEKB asymmetric-energy e^+e^- collider. We obtain the branching fraction, B(B^0→D^*+D*^-K^{O}_{S})= [3.4±0.4(stat)±0.7(syst)]×10^-3, which is in agreement with the current world average. We also obtain an upper limit on the product branching fraction for a possible two-body decay, B(B^0 → D_s1^+(2536)D^*-)B(D_s1^+(2536)→ D^*+K^{O}_{S})s^+, where s^±[equivalent]m2(D^*±K^{0}_{S}), we extract the CP violation parameters, J_c/J_0=0.60^{+0.25}_{-0.28}(stat)±0.08(syst), 2J_s1/J_0sin2φ_1=-0.17^{+0.42}_{-0.42}(stat)±0.09(syst), 2J_s2/J_0cos2φ_1=-0.23^{+0.43}_{-0.41}(stat)±0.13(syst). A large value of J_c/J_0 would indicate a significant resonant contribution from a broad unknown D_s^**+ state. Although the sign of the factor, 2J_s2/J_0, can be deduced from theory, no conclusion can be drawn regarding the sign of cos2φ_1 given the errors.journal articl

In situ measurement of cell stiffness of Arabidopsis roots growing on a glass micropillar support by atomic force microscopy

Atomic force microscopy (AFM) can measure the mechanical properties of plant tissue at the cellular level, but for in situ observations, the sample must be held in place on a rigid support and it is difficult to obtain accurate data for living plants without inhibiting their growth. To investigate the dynamics of root cell stiffness during seedling growth, we circumvented these problems by using an array of glass micropillars as a support to hold an Arabidopsis thaliana root for AFM measurements without inhibiting root growth. The root elongated in the gaps between the pillars and was supported by the pillars. The AFM cantilever could contact the root for repeated measurements over the course of root growth. The elasticity of the root epidermal cells was used as an index of the stiffness. By contrast, we were not able to reliably observe roots on a smooth glass substrate because it was difficult to retain contact between the root and the cantilever without the support of the pillars. Using adhesive to fix the root on the smooth glass plane overcame this issue, but prevented root growth. The glass micropillar support allowed reproducible measurement of the spatial and temporal changes in root cell elasticity, making it possible to perform detailed AFM observations of the dynamics of root cell stiffness.journal articl

Hierarchical clustering of phenotypic measurements.

<p>This figure shows the clustering of the phenotypic measurements based on their correlations with each other. Correlations between all pairs of phenotypes are computed, while partialling out the effect related to family membership. Positive correlations are shown in red, negative correlations in purple. The clusters are shown in green.</p

Spouses were also recruited to index resemblance through shared household factors; B) Age distribution in twin study participants stratified by co-habitation status; C) Age distribution in study participants stratified by sex.</p

Trait similarity across twins, spouses and unrelated individuals.

<p>This figure shows the boxplot with distribution across the 51 measured traits showing correlation in twins (cohabiting and not co-habiting), twin-spouse pairs and unrelated individuals. Average within pair correlation for the MZ twins living together is 0.56 (living together), for MZ twins living apart 0.48 (living apart), for twin-spouse pairs 0.08 and for non-related individuals 0.</p
