本稿では、オークランド戦争記念博物館の取り組みを通して、ニュージーランドのミュージアムにおける多文化主義の実現について考察する。具体的には、2日間に亘る視察と20人の館スタッフとのインタビューの様子を詳細に報告することで、館がいかにして先住民族マオリの文化を軸に、太平洋の多文化を扱っているのか、またそれによっていかにミュージアムを開こうとしているのかを分析する。, This paper reports on the strategies and activities of the Tāmaki Paenga Hira- Auckland War Memorial Museum in New Zealand. It focuses on the Māori and Pacific Dimensions, which articulate the biculturalism and multiculturalism of New Zealand at the museum. For our project, in-depth interviews were conducted with 20 staff members and together they highlight how the two dimensions underline their everyday practices and how they make the museum accessible., 英訳文あり New Zealand's Multiculturalism as seen at Auckland War Memorial Museum http://doi.org/10.32286/00026832

The Early Cretaceous bivalve fauna from the Kurosegawa Belt in Central Shikoku was studied with respect to the faunal affinity. In the Kurosegawa Belt, two faunal-types of Hauterivian bivalves have been recognized (Kozai et al., 2002). The one, Tatsukawa-type from the Monobegawa Group is distributed in the Northern Kurosegawa Belt. Another one, Shobu-type from the Nankai and Takegatani groups is distributed in the southern Kurosegawa Belt. Based on the specific compositon, the former is regarded as "Tethyan fauna", and the later is regarded as "northern Tethyan fauna" of Tashiro (1994, 2000). The specific compositions of these two faunas are quite different except for the cosmopolitan species. A transitional fauna between the Tatsukawa-type and Shobu-type was newly discovered in Hauterivian sandstone bed of brackish facies in the north-south intermediate part of the Kurosegawa Belt. Among the six local species, Protocardia ibukii, Costocyrena otsukai, Pulsidis antiqua and Tetoria Sanchuensis are the Tatsukawa-type elements. Isodomella matsumotoi and Eomiodon matsumotoi are the Shobu-type elements. In addition to the finding of the marine Barremian "Tethyan"-"Northern Tethyan" transitional bivalve-fauna, new discovery of the Hauterivian brackish trasitional-fauna is significant for the analysis of paleobiogeography and tectonics during and after the Early Cretaceous. Especially, the existence of the transitional fauna indicates that the "Tethyan" and "Northern Tethyan" faunas are paleobiogeographicaly closer., 国立情報学研究所『研究紀要公開支援事業』により電子化。

The variability of sea surface winds and waves from 1990 to 1998 was investigated for the East China Sea and the Pacific, as has been made for the Japan Sea by the authors. The data analyzed were obtained at buoys moored off Ryukyu (28°10'N, 126°20'E) and off Shikoku (29°00'N, 135°00'E) by JMA (Japan Meteorological Agency). In both areas wind speeds and significant wave heights showed seasonal cycles analogous to those off Tsuyazaki and at a location of a JMA buoy in an open area of the Japan Sea; high in winter and low in summer. Significant periods, however, were short in winter and long in summer. The seasonality of wave periods was the same as at the JMA buoy in the Japan Sea, but opposite to that at the Tsuyazaki Station. The scatter diagram of significant wave heights against significant wave periods also suggested that most of significant wave heights are limited by an upper bound corresponding to a constant wave steepness. The existence of the upper bound of significant wave heights was less obvious than off Tsuyazaki. As regards the frequency spectra from the periods of a few days to a few hours, significant wave heights and significant wave periods as well as winds had the same spectral form proportional to the frequency to the -5/3 powers, in agrement with our another finding for the data off Tsuyazaki. Thus the two notable findings off Tusyazaki obtained another support from the data in the East China Sea and in the Pacific.
