Author | Yamakawa, Junji| Ebi, Takahiro| Matsumoto, Hirofumi| |
Abstract | The Google(TM) Earth is a GIS application provided by the Google, with versatile and high performance visualization and manipulation capability for geographic information. The Google Earth is also a multi-platform application, so the installation and running cost for research and education site is relatively low. The Earth scientific information also have a geographic information scheme, so the Google Earth has some potential to support the education and research field of the Earth science. In this report, some Earth scientific information were converted by the R-Language and its libraries for represent by the Google Earth. The 3-dimensional representation of the information will be able to support to understanding the specification of the data for the Earth scientific research and education field. |

Title Alternative | Comparison of large-scale cloud distribution and atmospheric fields around the Akisame (autumn rainfall) front in East Asia among 1993, 1994 and 1995 |

Abstract | In order to examine year-to-year variability of the Akisame (autumn rainfall) frontal zone in East Asia, large-scale cloud distribution and atmospheric fields around the frontal zone were compared among 1993, 1994 and 1995, when their characteristics were rather different among each other. While the Akisame frontal zone extended zonally and the deep convective clouds tended to appear in that frontal zone near the southern coast of the Japan Islands in 1993, the frontal zone extends from southwest to northeast and the large amount of precipitation was brought mainly in the northern Japan. In 1995, although the surface front on the weather maps appeared frequently also around the southern coast of the Japan Islands, the rainfall amount there was not so large. The area with frequent appearance of the deep convective clouds in the Akisame frontal zone was seen only to the east of the Japan Islands. As such, it is noted that the active area of the Akisame frontal zone shows rather large year-to-year variability also in the zonal direction. It is also suggested that such great variability of the Akisame frontal zone in the zonal direction seems to correspond to the variations of the subtropical high and the ITCZ in the western Pacific region around September. |

Title Alternative | Improvement ofManagement and Accounting in the National School Special Account |
FullText URL | oer_028_4_203_220.pdf |
Author | Yamamoto, Kiyoshi| |
Abstract | National universities in Japan are now confronted with two problems: progress of international competitiveness in the academic research, and improvement of quality in education. The National School Special Account by which national universities are funded restricts their management and finance. Resource allocation is made by inputs such as the numbers of students and the types of course in operational work, and by assessment of the planning in the competitive research grant. Thus motivation for high performance in resarch and improving the quality in education does little work in the current system. To solve these problems and to encourage flexibility in personnel, changing from input management to output management and prohibition of internal promotion are proposed. |

Title Alternative | On the Rural Community Finance and the Economic Recover Plans after the Economic Crisis of Shôwa |
FullText URL | oer_028_3_061_086.pdf |
Author | Sakamoto, Chuji| |
Abstract | This paper treats economic and social changes of the rural community of Odacounty in Okayama prefecture after the economic crisis of shôwa. In the 1930's, the serious agricultural crisis and economic stagnation continued in the rural areas of Japan. In order to recover from the crisis, the Saito Cabinet (Minister of Finance, Mr. Takahashi) took a measure of spending policy (this finance was called 'Takahashi Zaisei'). The special budget which was called 'Jikyoku-Kyoukyu-Jigyo Yosan' was cut off after three years, because of the increasing expenditures for the Manshu-War and of the shortage of government revenue. Therefore the plan of the economic recovery of the rural communities which had no support from the government was newly established. We investigated the agricultural crisis and local finance of Odacounty in Okayama prefecture, and we have found that 'Jikyoku-Kyoukyu-Jigyo Yosan' of Kasaoka town in Odacounty was also broken down after only two years. We show that the plans of the economic reconstruction of the towns and villages in this county were introduced, and that the plans with no financial support from the central government changed into spiritual, educational and enlightening movements through these crisis. As a result, the small farmers in this county fell into the fascism movement. |

Title Alternative | On the Features of Chinese Ex-Students Who Studied and Are Employed in Japan |
FullText URL | oer_028_3_029_045.pdf |
Author | Oka, Masumi| Fukada, Hiromi| |
Abstract | We have made a series of researches on the problems of Chinese students who want to obtain employment in Japan. Oka & Fukada [1994 a] tried to clarify the factors in decision-making of Chinese college students to get ajob in Japan, and our former study in 1996 examined the differences of consciousness between the students who want to work in China and those who want to work in Japan. In this study, we try to reveal the features of Chinese ex-students who studied in Japanese higher educational institutes, and have already had a job in Japan. Their features are found by comparing these exstudents with Chinese college students, vocational school students and Japanese language school students respectively. This paper has revealed that Chinese ex-students have better feeling towards the life in Japan and have more close Japanese friends than vocational or language school students have. These two factors are, however, not remarkable between ex-students and college students. These two are not decisive enough to induce Chinese students to get employed in Japan. Our present study has also clarified that only 23% of the Chinese exstudents want to stay long in Japan, while a certain research shows that more than half of the Chinese students who wish to get a job here want to work for more than ten years. We guess that the severer circumstances of the Japanese economy than they had originally expected have deprived many ex-students of their desire to keep on working in Japan. |

Title Alternative | Promoting Research Activities and Management Reform in Universities : An Approach from Policy Sciences |
FullText URL | oer_029_4_001_028.pdf |
Author | Yamamoto, Kiyoshi| |
Abstract | Many commentators have insisted without empirical evidence that the heterogeneity of fuculty members promotes the research activities in universities. We have to examine whether or not this assertion would be valid and which element of heterogeneity may contribute to promoting research outputs. This article investigates the relationship between heterogeneity in educational background and research performance, then examines how the Science Research Grant has been allocated to faculties in economics. The result shows that the more heterogeneous faculty members are, the more the research outputs increase. The analysis also indicates that the research performance has been little considered in making decision for adoption while it has made significant effect on the amount of grant for the adopted subject. |

Title Alternative | Rethinking the U. S. Intergovernmental Fiscal Relations - Is It Time for the Theory of Fiscal Federalism to Change ? - |
FullText URL | oer_030_4_001_033.pdf |
Author | Koizumi, Kazushige| |
Abstract | The porpose of this paper is to examine the change of U. S. fiscal federalism. During 90-mids, there are signs that the features of American intergovernmental expenditure relations are changing slowly. The signs are the following three. Firstly, AFDC was abolished by welfare reform in 1994. Function of income redistribution partly shifted from central government to state government. Secondly, education financing system, primary local service, has been reformed by legal challenge since the Serrano v. Prest cases in 1976. In many states, the accountability of education financing has shifted from school districs to the state. Thirdly, many states recently have established rainy day (or budget stabilization) funds. While the rainy day funds could be used as a discretionary policy to stabilize the state economy, they are introduced to ease budgetary pressures. The states have become to strengthen a fiscal roll, income redistribution, local public good provision and stabilization, through the three changes. The meaning and causes of the changes can't be explained by the theory offiscal federalism. |

Title Alternative | Chinese Society Today Observed through Abbreviations with Numerals (Ill) |
FullText URL | oer_030_3_281_313.pdf |
Author | Oka, Masumi| |
Abstract | My study on abbreviations with numerals consists of three parts. This is the last part. Many abbreviations with numerals have been used as political slogans by the Chinese Communist Party. I try to clarify, by analyzing those abbreviations, the phases of Chinese society today. In this part of my study, I deal with those which belong to such social phenomena as ① corruption of the Party leaders and the government officials,② disturbance ofthe peace, ③ educational problems, etc. My study has revealed that abbreviations with numerals are devided into four groups, that is, those which show ① policies by the central Party and Government, ② policies by the local governments and enterprises, ③ nationwide social phenomena, and ④ local phenomena. Many abbreviations belonging to ① and ③ will appear in dictionaries in the future, and those belonging to ② and ④ will not. The latter, however, reflects the various problems that China now faces, and enables us to understand her. Abbreviations are so simple in structure that they are often ambiguous. "San-tong", for example, sometimes means "the three direct links between the two sides of Taiwan Straits", and sometimes means "the three kinds oflifeline in case ofcalamity". |

Title Alternative | Steel-smelting System of the Showa Iron & Steel Works in the Late 1940 s |
FullText URL | oer_030_1_043_061.pdf |
Author | Matsumoto, Toshiro| |
Abstract | The Showa Iron & Steel Works (the Anshan Iron & Steel Co. after the war) lost over 60% of its steel-smelting facility when the Red Army (The Soviet Army) confiscated the equipment of the company. One of its two steel-smelting factories was completely destroyed. The production capacity fell down from 1,330,000 tons / year to 500,000 tons / year. The AISC, however, recovered its maximum pre-war level in 1952-53. The output of steel ingot was 843,000 in 1943, 770,000 in 1952, and 976,000 in 1953. This paper aims to examine the reason why the operation of the company recovered so quickly in spite of its serious war damage. The factors which enabled the company to rebuild its production were as follows: (1) the remaining equipment of the first steel-smelting factory; (2) highly educated and well trained Japanese engineers; (3) documents of SISW concerning the operation of its equipment; (4) flexible leadership of the AISC; (5) strong motivation of Chinese engineers and Chinese workers. Technical knowledge and experience were quite important for the AISC, especially when it started its operation. Some parts ofthe first steel-smelting factory was much improved by the Chinese engineers, using the then existing documents of SISW. A conversion of preliminary smelting furnaces to open hearth furnaces was the most successful example. Chinese engineers bravely tried an un-experienced method in the face of Japanese engineers' warning, considering the new circumstances for steel production. Unbelievable hard work of Chinese engineers and workers sustained those process. All of these factors were necessary to accomplish the rapid reconstruction of the company. |

Abstract | We consider public education provided obligatorily and equally for all individuals. It is usually said that compulsory public education ensures an equal opportunity of education for all individuals and contributes to human capital formation. We will discuss how the introduction of public education affects human capital accumulation and income distribution among heterogeneous individuals in an overlapping generation model. Particularly, we discuss those effects on the long-run equilibrium of individual human capital, considering the threshold effects of human capital stock. |

Abstract | In this paper, we construct a model which explains a change in demand for education, considering an individual preference for the higher education (university). We suppose that the individual preference for education depends on the average level of education in a society and changes drastically at some level. We consider a possibility that diffusion of education brings about discontinuous increase in demand for education, and examine the optimal educational policies in dynamic setting. |

Abstract | This paper unfolds the saga of the nationalist upsurge and the germination of the left wings within the National Congress of India during the first Non−Cooperation Movement. As a background to our present study we can say that India was not a single country at the time of entry of the British to India. It was divided into many separate kingdoms and the vast portion of it was ruled by the Mughals. Taking advantage of the weakness of the Mughal emperors the British entered the country and established their trade monopoly and gradually established their rule in India. Riding on the back of the British rule modern ideas peeped into India from the west. It resulted in the growth of nationalist ideas among the newly educated Indians and opened their eyes to the evils of the British rule, which instigated them to fight against the aliens. The first form of this type of resistance was the revolt of 1857. The British suppressed the revolt no doubt but it was the first struggle of the people of India for their independence. The National Congress was established in 1885 which could be termed as the first all India political organization. The tragedy of Jalliwanala Bagh and the publication of the Turkish peace terms brought Mohan Das Karam Chand Gandhi to the Indian political scene. He took the Khilafat issue as an instrument to create an anti−British sentiment among the Indian people and thereby started the first non−cooperation movement in India. Gandhiji gave the call for launching the non−cooperation movement on August 1, 1920 in the form of satyagraha means non−violence and truthfulness. The mass awakening in all over India compelled the British Government to take repressive mearures. Though the non−violence was the main principle of Gandhiji’s mass civil disobedience movement a violence took place in Chauri−Chaura in the United Province and Gandhiji suspended the movenment. It disappointed a young nationalist group including Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru and Subhas Chandra Bose who wanted to give the movement a radical colour owing to the influence of scientific socialism of Marx. As a result a new group was formed within the Congress termed as Left Wings. The ideologies of the two groups were different. When the Right Wing of the Congress led by Gandhiji demanded dominion status for the country the Left Wing stood for complete independence. Gradually the Left Wing divided into two groups : Communist Party of India (CPI) and the Congress Socialist Party (CSP) with the same objective of complete independence under the banner of the National Congress. |

Title Alternative | Research of Higher Education in USA through Examination of Bulletins of Okayama University’s Partners |
FullText URL | oer_035_2_001_025.pdf |
Author | Kametaka, Tetsuo| |
Abstract | This paper points out the features of US higher education, especially 4 year university educations after analyzing their bulletins and other materials, and then deliberates the historical and philosophical back ground behind it. Also this paper draws a comparison between USA and Japan in the university education. US universities deal with their students realizing that they are now experiencing the age of the transition from mass to so−called universal higher education. On the other hand, Japanese universities, especially governmental ones, have been content with the tradition from Meiji Era, when elite higher education prevailed and each student was treated as a matured and independent gentleman. In US universities, of course, from the first line of bulletins, it is clearly indicated that students themselves are responsible for each decision. However, they also demonstrate that attending classes regularly is a minimal student responsibility. On the other hand but more importantly US universities are committed and well prepared to support students who appear in danger of falling into, or who do fall into, academic difficulties. The existence of ample academic advisors in the universities is very important. Another feature of US universities is that they are affirmative to honor students with outstanding academic performance. There are plenty of honors and scholarships of various kinds. On the contrary, Japanese universities are not very enthusiastic to honor their students and their scholarship systems are generally poor. In conclusion, entering into the age of mega−competition among universities and of transition from mass to universal higher education, Japanese universities have to transform themselves to cope with and to survive these changes, learning many excellences from US higher education system. |
