The purpose of this research is to examine how the UK develops qualities and abilities such as knowledge, thinking ability, and geographical skills that correspond to globalization, based on the content structure of the geography unit in the British primary geography textbook. In order to elucidate, through analysis of "case studies" that are characteristic of geography education in the United Kingdom, by clarifying the specific knowledge and concepts, geographic skills and their structureAs a result of examining geography units in British elementary geography textbooks, learning aimed at forming geographical concepts through case studies, as seen in the activities of each grade, rather than learning all the regions of the world lots of activity. In addition, emphasis is placed on nurturing geographic skills, which is the use of maps, and this is seen continuously from the third grade, indicating that the development of geographic skills using maps is being pursued through each grade.

The number of patients with ischemic cardiovascular diseases is significantly increasing as populations age. Therapeutic angiogenesis has been developed as a new treatment strategy for such patients. In recent years, the presence of mesenchymal stem cells in adipose tissues was reported, and regenerative medicine using these cells has attracted attention worldwide. In this review, we describe how the transplantation of adipose-derived regenerative cells enhances angiogenesis and tissue regeneration because of their multilineage potential and cytokine secretion. Then, the current status of therapeutic angiogenesis using adipose-derived regenerative cells in the field of cardiovascular medicine was also described. These cells present great advantages over bone marrow mononuclear cells, as these need easier, shorter, and less invasive preparations as well as less ethical concerns and immunological problems. The efficacy of adipose-derived regenerative cell transplantation in the treatment of various diseases was examined in several clinical trials with favorable results. Currently, a multicenter study of therapeutic angiogenesis using these cells is being conducted in patients with critical limb ischemia. In conclusion, we expect that this method will soon be established as a treatment for cardiovascular diseases that have been refractory to conventional treatments., This is an Open Access article distributed under the Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 International License.

The International Baccalaureate aims to develop inquiring, knowledgable and caring young people who help to create a better and more peaceful world through intercultural understanding and respect. This study aims to clarify the contents and learner’s activities of geographical textbooks, which mirror the IB philosophy of viewing the curriculum in terms of a whole-course approach. The contents of the textbook use many case studies, but also include explanations of concepts and reading of teaching materials such as graphs and maps. However, it became clear that there were many activities that asked for explanation of knowledge understanding, and relatively few inquiry-based learning activities.

Session VI : Public Image, James Murdoch (1856-1921) was an English teacher, a journalist and a novelist who wrote books about Japan. This work discusses the pictures in his novel Ayame-san: A Japanese Romance of the 23rd Year of Meiji (1890) (1892) by comparing them with those of his other works published in the same year. It considers the relationships between the pictures and the story, as well as reality and fiction, to reveal Murdoch’s challenges in depicting Japan. William K. Burton (1856-1899), who prepared the pictures, made the acknowledgement statement in the novel. He insisted, ‘So far as I am aware this is the first book that has been illustrated with true half-tone photomechanical reproductions printed with the letter-press’. Since the book contains traditional Japanese style photographs inside, created with the latest technology of the West, it has a strong impression. Unlike the drawings in Murdoch’s other novel From Australia and Japan (1892), the pictures in Ayame-san do not illustrate the story directly. For instance, although the story is a romance between two Western men and Ayame, a Japanese girl, there are only a few pictures that depict a foreigner, and none of them corresponds with the characters. In fact, another work by Murdoch, Sights and Scenes on the Tokaido (1892), includes exactly the same pictures in this work. However, by approaching the photos from a different angle, it is possible to consider that the scenery in the pictures can be seen from the eyes of the characters in the story. Readers enjoy the plot, and they also enjoy what the characters visualise in the Far East. Although the pictures do not embellish the story emotionally like paintings, they provide readers with information that is not written and give depth to their imagination about Japan

GAPS（General AntiParticle Spectrometer）は宇宙線反粒子の高感度観測によって暗黒物質を起源とする反重陽子の探索を目指す気球実験計画である．GAPS では，高い識別率や正確性が求められる宇宙線反粒子識別に対して機械学習の活用が検討されている．先行研究では，三次元のCNN（畳み込みニューラルネットワーク）モデルに用いることで，反粒子の入射角と入射位置を固定した限定的な条件下でのシミュレーションデータに対して高い識別精度が確認されている．本研究では機械学習の高い精度の識別における要因の分析によって識別の説明性を求めるため，CNN モデルが識別において注視している部分を可視化し，誤って識別したケースを分析した．, The General AntiParticle Spectrometer (GAPS) aims to search for antideuterons originating from dark matter through highly sensitive observation of cosmic ray antiparticles. In GAPS, the use of machine learning is being considered for cosmic ray antiparticle identification, which requires high rejection power and identification accuracy. In a previous study, a three-dimensional convolutional neural network (CNN) model was used to achieve high rejection power for simulated data under limited conditions where the incident angle and position of the antiparticle are fixed. In this study, in order to seek the explanatory power of discrimination by analyzing the factors that contribute to the high accuracy of machine learning, the parts that the CNN model focuses on in discrimination are visualized, and the cases of incorrect discrimination are analyzed., 形態: カラー図版あり, Physical characteristics: Original contains color illustrations, 資料番号: AA2130033004, レポート番号: JAXA-RR-21-008
