The Sarariman and the Stroller: An Exploration of a Seminal Work in the Ikumen Movement – Ikukyū Tōsan No Seichō Nisshi Reviewed

　More details

Language：English Publishing type：Research paper (scientific journal)

Despite a relative paucity of English language literature on Asian fatherhood in general and Japanese fathers in particular, there has yet to be a comprehensive analysis of one of the seminal works of the Japanese Ikumen movement, collected in book form as Ikukyū Tōsan No Seichō Nisshi (Growth Diaries of Dads Who Traded Work for Child Care). Through a dynamically equivalent translation and itemization of the book’s contents, this study examined the autobiographical accounts of six Japanese fathers who took officially-sanctioned child care leave from work in order to identify their motives, shared experiences, and outcomes. Primary reasons for doing so arose from concern for their spouses and from a quest for fulfillment and an alternative identity. Common obstacles included anxiety about how their absences would affect coworkers and clients, perceptions of intolerance and shock from society at large, and a perceived lack of infrastructure for male child caregivers. Noted rewards were a renewed appreciation for the brevity of the child rearing years, novel experiences rare to most salarymen, and feelings of self-actualization as fathers. Finally, all the accounts reflected a higher level of involvement post-leave.

Distribution of HAP1-immunoreactive cells in the retrosplenial–retrohippocampal area of adult rat brain and its application to a refined neuroanatomical understanding of the region Reviewed International journal

Language：English Publishing type：Research paper (scientific journal)

Huntingtin-associated protein 1 (HAP1) is a neural interactor of huntingtin in Huntington’s disease and interacts with gene products in a number of other neurodegenerative diseases. In normal brains, HAP1 is expressed abundantly in the hypothalamus and limbic-associated regions. These areas tend to be spared from neurodegeneration while those with little HAP1 are frequently neurodegenerative targets, suggesting its role as a protective factor against apoptosis. In light of the relationship between neurodegenerative diseases and dete- rioration of higher nervous activity, it is important to definitively clarify HAP1 expression in a cognitively impor- tant brain region, the retrosplenial–retrohippocampal area. Here, HAP1 expression was evaluated immunohistochemically over the retrosplenial cortex, the subicular complex, and the entorhinal and perirhinal cortices. HAP1-immunoreactive (ir) cells were classified into five discrete groups: (1) a distinct retrosplenial cell cluster exclusive to the superficial layers of the granular cortex, (2) a conspicuous, thin line of cells in layers IV/V of the ‘‘subiculum-backing cortex,” (3) a group of highly immunoreactive cells associated with the medial entorhi- nal–subicular corner, (4) pericallosal cells just below layer VI and adjacent to the white matter, and (5) other spo- radic, widely-disseminated HAP1-immunoreactive cells. HAP1 was found to be the first marker for the complex subiculum-backing cortex and a precise marker for several subfields in the retrosplenial–retrohippocampal area, verified through comparative staining with other neurochemicals. HAP1 may play an important role in protecting these cortical structures and functions for higher nervous activity by increasing the threshold to neurodegener- ation and decreasing vulnerability to stress or aging.

“Eccentric” or “strange”: Using online corpora to navigate connotation Reviewed

42 ( 3 ) 18 - 19 2018.5

　More details

Language：English Publishing type：Research paper (scientific journal)

Navigating the connotations of English words with similar semantic meanings can be extremely difficult for learners, as words’ associations can be culturally determined and their most natural collocates frequently selected by referencing an “internal corpus” that is much more extensive in a fluent speaker. The current activity is designed to highlight how distinctions between adjective pairs with similar denotations can be gleaned by examining their collocates and familiarize learners with online resources to hone this particular pragmatic competence.
