This open access book provides an in-depth examination of Japan's policy responses to the economic challenges of the 1980s and '90s. While MITI's earlier role in promoting rapid growth has been ...addressed in other studies, this volume, based on official records and exhaustive interviews, is the first to examine the aftermath of rapid growth and the evolution of MITI's interpretation of the economy's changing needs. Covering such topics as the oil shocks, trade conflict with the United States, and the rise and collapse of the so-called bubble economy, it presents a detailed analysis and evaluation of how these challenges were interpreted by government officials, the kinds of policies that were enacted, the extent to which policy aims were realized, and lessons for the longer term. This book is recommended especially to officials of countries concerned about the challenges that follow on high economic growth and to readers interested in Japan's contemporary economic history.
Motivational Interviewing (MI) is a person-centred counselling approach to behaviour change which is increasingly being used in public health settings, either as a stand-alone approach or in ...combination with other structured programmes of health promotion. One example of this is the Family Nurse Partnership (FNP) a licensed, preventative programme for first time mothers under the age of 20, delivered by specialist family nurses who are additionally trained in MI. The Building Blocks trial was an individually randomised controlled trial comparing effectiveness of Family Nurse Partnership when added to usual care compared to usual care alone within 18 sites in England. The aim of this process evaluation component of the trial is to determine the extent to which Motivational Interviewing skills taught to Family Nurse Partnership nurses were used in their home visits with clients.
Between July 2010 and November 2011, 92 audio-recordings of nurse-client consultations were collected during the 'pregnancy' and 'infancy' phases of the FNP programme. They were analysed using The Motivational Interviewing Treatment Integrity (MITI) coding system.
A competent level of overall MI adherent practice according to the MITI criteria for 'global clinician ratings' was apparent in over 70 % of the consultations. However, on specific behaviours and the MITI-derived practitioner competency variables, there was a large variation in the percentage of recordings in which "beginner proficiency" levels in MI (as defined by the MITI criteria) was achieved, ranging from 73.9 % for the 'MI adherent behaviour' variable in the pregnancy phase to 6.7 % for 'percentage of questions coded as open' in the infancy phase.
The results suggest that it is possible to deliver a structured programme in an MI-consistent way. However, some of the behaviours regarded as key to MI practice such as the percentage of questions coded as open can be more difficult to achieve in such a context. This is an important consideration for those involved in designing effective structured interventions with an MI-informed approach and wanting to maintain fidelity to both MI and the structured programme.

This article traces the evolution of the American policy from 1947 of persuading the Western nations to embargo the export to the Soviet Union, and after 1949 to the PRC, of all technology or ...machinery used in the production of military weapons. The recent war demonstrated that technology would win the future wars and the communist countries must be stopped from stealing the West’s technology. The Truman administration drew up long lists of items to be banned, and the President Eisenhower continued the process with US embassy officials policing the operation. The Kennedy administration lessened the intensity of its ban that slightly favoured China although President Johnson reimposed the prohibitions and it was left to President Nixon along with Dr. Kissinger to lessen the East–West trade embargo and soften the relationships.

Questo lavoro si basa sull'idea che le lingue sono sempre il risultato di
un processo di elaborazione sociale che comporta, in primo luogo, la
costruzione e legittimazione di una certa ...rappresentazione della realtà linguistica (sempre molto più eterogenea da quello suggerito dalla
rappresentazione) e quindi l'accettazione di questa rappresentazione
dai parlanti come il loro linguaggio proprio e autentico. Per
raggiungere quest'ultimo obiettivo dovrebbe essere prodotto un
legame emotivo tra gli parlanti e la lingua rappresentata, a cui
contribuiscono potentemente le idee o miti che filologi e linguisti
(anche la loro precursora erudizione) hanno diffuso nei loro studi. In
qualche modo si potrebbe dire che non ci sarebbero lingue senza i
filologi; solo persone che parlano cose più o meno simili. Lo studio dei
miti che ha messo insieme la scienza linguistica dovrebbe essere
sviluppato perché offre molte possibilità di riflessione su ciò che essi
in realtà le lingue.
This work is based on the idea that languages are always the result of
a process of social elaboration that involves, first, the construction and
legitimation of a certain representation of linguistic reality (always
much more heterogeneous than suggested by the representation) and
then the acceptation of this representation by the speakers as their
own and authentic language. To achieve the latter objective should be
produced an emotional connection between the speakers and the
represented language, to which powerfully contribute ideas or myths
that philologists and linguists (also their precursory erudition) have
spread in their studies. Somehow we could say that there would be no
languages without the philologists, only people who speak more or
less similar things. The study of linguistics myths that put together the
linguistic cience should be developed because it offers many
possibilities for reflection about what they are actually languages.

O učenju tujih jezikov obstajajo določeni miti, nepreverjene »resnice«, ki so se ponekod »fosilizirali« in morda sploh več ne vzbujajo nobenih dvomov med običajnimi uporabniki jezikov. V članku ...osvetlimo izbor štirih mitov o učenju drugega/tujega jezika. V prvem mitu se sprašujemo, kakšno vlogo ima starost pri učenju drugega/tujega jezika. V drugem mitu se sprašujemo, če večina napak v drugem/tujem jeziku res nastane zaradi prenosa (ne)znanja iz prvega jezika v drugi/ tuji jezik oziroma transferja. S tretjim mitom preverjamo, ali naj res učitelj vsako napako popravi takoj z namenom, da si je učenec ne bo zapomnil. V četrtem mitu pa nas zanima, ali ima branje res največji vpliv na širjenje besedišča tako v prvem kot drugem/tujem jeziku. Miti o učenju tujega jezika so pogosto kompleksni, kar velja tudi za mite, predstavljene v tem članku. Glede njihove resničnosti ugotavljamo, da najverjetneje najmanj drži mit o nujnosti takojšnjega popravljanja napak, precej bolj pa prvi, drugi in četrti mit.
This paper describes the significant depositional setting information derived from well and seismic survey data for the Upper Cretaceous to Lower Eocene forearc basin sediments in the central part of ...the Sanriku‐oki basin, which is regarded as a key area for elucidating the plate tectonic history of the Northeast Japan Arc. According to the results of well facies analysis utilizing cores, well logs and borehole images, the major depositional environments were of braided and meandering fluvial environments with sporadically intercalated marine incursion beds. Seismic facies, reflection terminations and isopach information provide the actual spatial distributions of fluvial channel zones flowing in a north–south trending direction. The transgression and regression cycles indicate that the Upper Cretaceous to Lower Eocene successions can be divided into thirteen depositional sequences (Sequences SrCr‐0 to SrCr‐5, and SrPg‐1 to SrPg‐7). These depositional sequences demonstrate three types of stacking patterns: Types A to C, each of which shows a succession mainly comprising a meandering fluvial system, a braided fluvial system with minor meandering aspects in the upper part, and major marine incursion beds in the middle part, respectively, although all show an overall transgressive to regressive succession. The Type C marine incursion beds characteristically comprise bay center and tidal‐dominated bay margin facies. Basin‐transecting long seismic sections demonstrate a roll up structure on the trench slope break (TSB) side of the basin. These facts suggest that during the Cretaceous to Eocene periods, the studied fluvial‐dominated forearc basin was sheltered by the uplifted TSB. The selective occurrences of the Type C sequences suggest that when a longer‐scale transgression occurred, especially in Santonian and early Campanian periods, a large bay basin was developed, creating accommodation space, which induced the deposition of the Cretaceous Kuji Group along the arc‐side basin margin.
三陸沖前弧堆積盆中央部で掘削された基礎試錐「三陸沖」の坑井データ(コア, 検層ログ, 比抵抗イメージ)および周辺部において取得された三次元地震探査データ(震探相, 反射波列端)の堆積学的・シーケンス層序学的解析の結果, 三陸沖堆積盆の上部白亜系〜下部始新統はおもに網状〜挟炭蛇行河川システムからなること, 堆積盆中央部では河川流路がおおよそ南北方向に伸長すること, 合計13の堆積シーケンスに区分され, 最大海氾濫面層準付近では内湾環境の泥岩が挟在することが明らかになった. 白亜紀〜始新世の三陸沖前弧堆積盆は外縁隆起帯がリッジを造る河川システム主体の堆積盆であったと考えられ, 大規模海進時には全体が内湾環境になった. この海進時には火山弧側堆積盆縁辺部にも堆積空間が生成され, 久慈層群の浅海〜河川相が堆積したと考えられる.

Al centro dei dibattiti su identità e autoctonia nella Grecia antica spesso è Gaia, la Terra, dea generatrice, ma anche «sede stabile di dèi e di uomini», e di qui, probabilmente, terra civica. A ...livello teogonico, da Gaia e Urano nascono gli dèi immortali; nei miti di fondazione, da Gaia nascono i primi uomini, i gegeneis o autoctoni; a livello "politico", gaia patris, la terra dei padri, legittima la funzione di discendenza della terra. Nella riflessione "orficaE, si modifica il concetto di genos e la coppia Gaia-Urano subisce uno sbilanciamento a vantaggio del Cielo.
