The Effects of Three Cooking Projects on Human Nutrition Majors’ Confidence in English

One challenge facing teachers of English when trying to improve students’ English language knowledge and skills is that the students themselves often have a deep-rooted lack of confidence in their English receptive and/or productive abilities. This study examines whether a 15-week English II course comprised of three five-lesson Project Based Language Learning cooking projects in English resulted in improved confidence in English among the participants, and the reasons why or why not. A seven-item questionnaire was administered to freshmen Human Nutrition majors (N=41) at a private Japanese university. Results show that 20 students reported perceived improved confidence in English resulting from participation in the three cooking projects. Reasons included the learning of new vocabulary (n=8), learning English for Culinary Purposes (n=6), improved capacity to communicate in “short, simple English” (n=3) and improved language skills and knowledge (n=9). Conversely, 21 students reported no change in their perceived confidence to use English, citing a continued belief that they cannot use English or are not good at it (n=5), that they cannot speak in English (n=4), or generally lack confidence for an unspecified reason(s) (n=4). Given the presumed very low levels of confidence with which most of the students started the course, these results are seen as encouraging, though suggestions are made to support those who still lack confidence.departmental bulletin pape

Perception of Gender Equality Among University Students: An Analytical Model

Gender equality is a fundamental principle of social justice that asserts that all individuals, regardless of their gender, should have equal rights, opportunities, and access to resources and power. Researching this phenomenon requires a deep understanding of the dimensions and factors that constitute it. The primary objective of this study is to propose a contextualized and comprehensive analytical model for conducting research related to gender equality. To achieve this, a thorough and systematic literature review was conducted using the PRISMA methodology. From a total of 511 articles located in major databases, 58 were selected. The categorization process led to the identification of 8 dimensions: labor and/or professional, co-responsibility and family reconciliation, education, health and emotions, culture and society, economy, gender-based violence, and freedom and autonomy, along with an open dimension labeled other aspects. The final model integrates these dimensions, along with the inherent factors of each, with socio-demographic and ideological variables, resulting in a comprehensive and relevant model for studies on gender equality and subsequent socio-educational interventions based on these findings

A case of strumal carcinoid of ovary detected incidentally at total abdominal hysterectomy

卵巣カルチノイドは全卵巣腫瘍の 0.1%以下を占める稀な境界悪性腫瘍である。今回我々は、子宮全摘と片側付属器摘出術後に判明した卵巣原発甲状腺腫性カルチノイドの 1 例を経験したので報告する。 症例は46歳、２経妊１経産。子宮癌検診で classⅢb のため当院紹介初診。子宮頸部組織診にて CIS を認め、開腹手術を施行した。開腹所見では右卵巣は 3-4cm大で、正常卵巣部分の他に、腫瘍を疑う弾性硬の部分を認めたため、単純子宮全摘術と右付属器摘出術を施行した。病理組織所見で、右卵巣腫瘍には甲状腺濾胞部分とカルチノイド部分を認め、免疫組織染色では、Thyroid Transcription Factor (TTF-1), Thyroglobulin, Synaptophysin, Chromogranin A が陽性であり、甲状腺腫性カルチノイドと診断した。また、peptide YY も陽性だった。最終診断では卵巣原発甲状腺腫性カルチノイドⅠa期と診断した。journal articl

Factores personales y familiares vinculados al ocio ambiental y cultural intergeneracional

ntroducción: El ocio ambiental y cultural guarda importantes implicaciones para el desarrollo humano. Entorno y cultura generan un espacio de satisfacción,y abuelos y abuelas enfatizan su potencial en la práctica con sus nietos y nietas. El objetivo del estudio fue examinar si la práctica de ocio ambiental y cultural compartido entre abuelos/as y nietos/as se vincula a las características personales y familiares de los abuelos y las abuelas. Metodología:Se realizó una encuesta transversal telemática a 357 abuelos/as con nietas y/o nietos (6-12 años) del norte de España. Resultados:El ocio cultural es el más extendido, mientras que el ambiental es practicado por más de dos tercios de los participantes, siendo las mujeres quienes más ocio comparten. La edad es determinante y compartir o no domicilio con los nietos y/o nietas no tiene, en principio, incidencia clara.Discusión:Género y edad son factores facilitadores de la práctica de ocio en contextos intergeneracionales, aunque se precisa una investigación más amplia. Conclusiones:Las dimensiones ambiental y cultural del ocio promueven experiencias positivas y pueden definirse como fenómeno social, en especial, en el marco de las relaciones intergeneracionales.Introduction:Environmental and cultural leisure has significant implications for human development. Environment and culture create a space of satisfaction, and grandparents emphasize its potential in practice with their grandchildren. The aim of the study was to examine whether the practice of shared environmental and cultural leisure between grandparents and grandchildren is linked to the personal and family characteristics of the grandparents. Methodology:A cross-sectional online survey was conducted with 357 grandparents with grandchildren (aged 6-12) from the north of Spain. Results:Cultural leisure is the most widespread, while environmental leisure is practiced by more than two-thirds of the participants, with women sharing more leisure activities. Age is a determining factor, and the household situation does not provide conclusivedata. Discussion:Gender and age are facilitating factors for the practice of leisure in intergenerational contexts, although further research is needed. Conclusions:The environmental and cultural dimensions of leisure promote positive experiences and can be defined as a social phenomenon, especially within the framework of intergenerational relationships
