| Title Alternative | Entrepreneurial Choices in Strategic Options in Japan’s RPG Development |
| FullText URL | oer_037_1_019_034.pdf |
| Author | Fujii, Daiji| |
| Abstract | The purpose of this paper is to examine one of the functions which entrepreneurs may play in the course of industrial development through a case study of Japan’s RPG development race. As Japan’s toy manufacturers often said, their market was characteristic of its small size and considerable demand volatility in comparison to other consumer products. Entrepreneurs must have seen any commitment to a cutting edge product, video games, as only a gamble and therefore behaved in a trial−and−error way. Furthermore, judging from the fact that no one could imagine the video game would come to turn over ¥1500 billion in 20 years, the firm level trial−and−errors and their subsequent variety of strategies on the industry level must have been the key to understand the unexpected market growth and technical evolution. However, recent management thoughts told us that the strategic variety in an industry could be possibly indulged by various pressures towards homogeneity. Such counter powers are referred to as organizational isomorphism, strategic bandwagon effects and so on. To examine those pressures which drive entrepreneurs back and forth towards strategic variety, this paper looks at the structural characteristics which underlie the way entrepreneurs see things in an uncertain environment. The case analysis takes the view that the video game industry was so uncertain that nothing could affect so deterministically entrepreneurs’ behaviours other than their perceptions. As a conclusion here, this paper points out some tradeoffs underlying the two different strategies which the twin peaks of Japanese RPG producers, Square and Enix, employed to meet with the uncertainty of the infant RPG market. It also argues that these tradeoffs based on two different perceptions might have kept their startups from the isomorphic indulgence. As a more prospective argument, questioned is the quality of strategic variety which is often deemed as an unquestionable remedy to industrial stagnation. |

| Abstract | The study attempts to analyze the ins and outs of the risk reporting guidelines in UK. The guidelines advocate for the voluntary adoption of risk reporting through annual reports of the company. This voluntary reporting of risk will ensure the transparency and efficiency of the company management that eventually help the company to obtain funds from the capital market with the possible lowest cost. They also advise to disclose material / relevant risk information in a proper way so that the users can take their economic decision based on those disclosed information. On the other hand, company need not to disclose the commercially sensitive risk information, as it can give advantage to the rival companies. This risk reporting guidelines are also having some weaknesses. Such as, they mention about inverse relationship between level of disclosed risk information and cost of capital without any empirical evidence. Guidelines give a vague direction about the commercial sensitive risk information because companies can hide some important risk information on the ground of commercial sensitivity if needed. Other lacking include unavailability of suitable / reliable risk identification and measurement tools, expectation about common knowledge and so on. |

| Title Alternative | MEDICAL STUDIES ON THE RURAL PEOPLE (II) A STUDY ON THE INCIDENCE OF STRUMA IN THE SOUTH-WESTERN RURAL DISTRICTS OF OKAYAMA PREFECTURE, JAPAN |
| FullText URL | pitsr_014_051_056.pdf |
| Author | Morinaga, Hiroshi| |
| Abstract | The author investigated the thyroid glands of 1480 school children (aged from 6 to 14) living in the vicinity of Yakage, the south-western rural district of Okayama Prefecture, and 1516 out-patients of Yakage Hospital, in 1950. The incidence of struma among the school children was 4.6 per cent and among the out-patients 4.7% on an average, and the percentage of struma in the spring (7.8%) was higher than in the summer (2.98%). This result suggests that thyroid glands are in some way susceptible to seasonal influences, and it is therefore necessary to consider the effect of season during investigation. The white blood pictures of seven patients showed no specific findings. |

| Title Alternative | MEDICAL STUDIES ON THE RURAL PEOPLE (I) CLINICAL AND STATISTICAL OBSERVATIONS ON HOOKWORM DISEASE IN RURAL DISTRICTS |
| FullText URL | pitsr_014_045_050.pdf |
| Author | Morinaga, Hiroshi| |
| Abstract | The author studied statistically 160 cases of hookworm infection who had been admitted to Misasa Branch of Okayama University Hospital, Misasa Hot Springs in Tottori prefecture, during 1946~1949 and 162 cases of out-patients with anchylostomiasis in Yakage Hospital, Okayama Prefecture, during 1949～1950. The clinical findings were as follows: (1). Females showed a higher incidence than males and the incidence ratio of infected persons to total out-patients increased with age up to the 50~69 years group. (2). The most patients consulted our hospital for the first time in April～May and in August, and 62 per cent of cases came within 3 months scince they had noticed disorders in some way, but 22% remained at home without medical cure more than a year. (3). Chief subjective complaints were palpitation of heart (35.3%), lassitude of legs (31.2%), pains in the abdomen (22.9%), feeling of dizziness (21.6%) and so on. (4). Laboratory findings: The total number of erythrocytes was between 1.23 and 5.54 millions per cubic millimeter and a moderate anemia almost always developed in the hookworm disease (77.9% of all cases). The number of white cells was normal or slightly increased. Relative or absolute eosinophilia was recognized in 83.5% of all patients. Wassermann's test was positive in 20%, and Takata's reaction positive in 53% of the cases. The acidity of the gastric juice was lower than normal. Hypo- and anacidity were verified in 58%. Both albumen and urobilinogen test in urine were positive in 5.4% of 61 cases. Sugar in none. (5). Treatment: Thymol, tetrachlorethylene and oil of chenopodium were used alternately to remove the worms. The eggs in stool became negative after 3-4 times of the administration of anthelmintics in 76 per cent of 151 cases. As mentioned above, the patients infected with hookworm had various functional disorders of bodies, but they consulted the hospital only when the farmer's busy season began and their trouble became unbearable. And then the recovery of anemia took a month or two. Prof. Kitayama reported that the cold environment under 9°C. in the winter had perished the larva of hookworm in the soil. From these viewpoints, the author proposed that examination and cure of hookworms should be carried out in the winter, the slack season for farming, to prevent the fall of working ability due to anchylostomiasis during the busy farming seasons. |

| Title Alternative | o-PHENANTHROLINE METHOD APPLIED TO THE DETERMINATION OF IRON IN NATURAL WATERS |
| FullText URL | pitsr_017_001_007.pdf |
| Author | Tanaka, Shigeo| |
| Abstract | The o-phenanthroline method was tested as to its applicability to the separate determination of iron in natural water: ionic ferrous iron, reducible iron, snd colloidally dispersed iron. In connection with this, the results of the following experiments are given in this paper. 1. Determination of the absorption curve of o-phenanthroline ferrous complex. (Figure 1.) 2. Construction of the calibration curve for a Purfrich's photometer with filter S 50, 15 cm cuvettes. (Figure 2.) 3. Examination of the effects of coexisting anions on the determination of iron by the method of three way layout. (Table 1., Table 2.) 4. Trial determinations of iron in three different states in solution. (Table 3., Table 4. ) 5. Test of the applicability of this method to the determination of ionic ferrous iron and reducible iron in thermal water. (Table 5., Table 6.) From the above, it was revealed that ionic ferrous iron and reducible iron in natural water are separately determinable with sufficient accuracy by the o-phenanthroline method, and that ionic iron and colloidally dispersed iron are also separately determinable, when the dispersed iron is present in amount more than 1.3% of the total iron. |

| Title Alternative | The Effect of Early Rising and Spring Bathing after Gastrectomy Operation upon Non-protein-nitrogen Levels in Blood |
| FullText URL | 021_047_053.pdf |
| Author | Takikawa, Tadashi| |
| Abstract | The author investigated variation of non-protein-nitrogen (N-P-N) levels in the blood of patients with gastric ulcer or cancer before and after gastrectomy. The following results were obtained. In the cases of gastric ulcer, N-P-N levels in the blood increased significantly till the 3rd of 4th day after operation, and returned to normalcy within a week in both groups of early rising and thermal bathing, whereas the raised N-P-N levels returned to the former levels in the 2nd week in the control group. In the cases of gastric cancer, in both early rising and thermal bathing groups, N-P-N levels in the blood varied in similar ways as in the cases of gastric ulcer. However, N-P-N in the blood of the control group increased till the 3rd day, and then decreased till the 7th day after operation, but increase was again seen on the 10th day, and then the levels returned to normalcy. From the above findings, the author thinks that early rising and spring bathing after gastrectomy give no bad effect on patients with gastric ulcer and cancer. |

| Title Alternative | Clinical and Experimental Studies of Therapeutic Effects of Radioactive Thermal Bath on Peripheric Disorders of Circulation Part 3. Therapeutic Effects of Radioactive Thermal Bath on Hypercholesterolemia and Atherosclerosis |
| Author | Matsumoto, Kinshi| |
| Abstract | The author investigated the changes of serum cholesterol levels and the histological findings of aorta of the cholesterol-fed rabbits, and the changes of serum cholesterol levels of the patients with hypertension following the radioactive hot spring bathing. The following results were obtained: 1) When 0.2 g. of cholesterol per Kg. of bodyweight was given to rabbits one time, the rise of the concentrations of serum cholesterol in the bathing group was lower and the recovery to the initial levels in the same group was faster than in the case of control (Table 1, Fig. 1.). 2) The author gave the rabbits 0.15 g. of cholesteterol per Kg. of bodyweight daily for 4 weeks. In this experiment, these rabbits were divided into 4 groups at follows. Group 1 Rabbits of this group were not bathed (as control). Group 2 Rabbits of this group were bathed in plain water (43°±1°C. 10 minutes) daily for 4 weeks. Group 3 Rabbits of this group were bathed in the radioactive Kenkyu-sho-sen (Rn-content: 10-40 Mache) in the same way as group 2. Group 4 Rabbits of this group were bathed in the radioactive Hisui-no-Yu (Rncontent: 300-400 Mache) in the same way as group 2. The concentrations of the serum cholesterol of the groups of radioactive thermal bathing remained lower than the control group. The concentrations of the serum cholesterol of group 4 were the lowest of all (Table 2 and Fig. 2). 3) In radioactive bathing groups, the atherosclerotic changes of aorta of the cholesterol-fed rabbits were slighter than the control (Table 3 and Fig, 3). 4) Following a series of radioactive hot spring baths, the total and ester cholesterol levels in serum of the patients with hypertension decreased during the first and the second weeks and tended to return to the initial levels during the third and the fourth weeks (Table 4 and Fig. 4). 5) The author gave the rabbits 0.4 g, of cholesterol per Kg. of bodyweight and, 2 hours after this procedure, injected 5 mI. of 1% Indian ink into the aureal vein of the rabbit for the purpose of blocking the reticulo-endothelial system. These procedures were carried out once a day for 3 successive days. The serum total and ester cholesterol levels in the bathed group (bathing in Hisui-no-Yu once a day for 15 days, 42±1°C, 5 minutes) were lower those of the control and returned to initial levels more rapidly than the control (Table 5 and Fig. 5). |
