Dr Shun Takagi, Faculty of Education and Welfare, Biwako-Gakuin University, Japan, conducts research on the relationship between aerobic capacity\u0000 and muscle deoxygenation during aerobic exercise involving different forms of exercise and different populations. Most recently, he is investigating the relationship between muscle deoxygenation during resistance training and improvement of muscle strength and thickness by resistance training.\u0000 Enhancement of muscle deoxygenation during resistance exercise may be one of the determinants of muscle hypertrophy and increase in muscle strength and an improvement of muscle thickness and strength is related to improved quality of life. Therefore, the research could help enhance health\u0000 among adults. If Takagi observes through his studies a strong relationship between muscle deoxygenation and health-related physical fitness, muscle deoxygenation could prove to be a useful indicator for effective exercise training to improve health-related physical fitness. Takagi and the\u0000 team hope to be able to identify the determinants of muscle deoxygenation and then move onto developing effective training programmes for all generations, especially the more elderly. The researchers are utilising spatial resolved near infrared spectroscopy (SR-NIRS) in their work, as well\u0000 as a newly established optical fat correction method to overcome the fact that the variables measured by SR-NIRS are affected by light scattering in the fat layer. This method has enabled the team to overcome challenges and drive their research forward.","PeriodicalId":88895,"journal":{"name":"IMPACT magazine","volume":"3 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78618109","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Although mandatory cognitive function tests when renewing driving lessons screen for dementia, they cannot account for risk of unsafe driving due to the natural ageing process. In his work, Associate\u0000 Professor Bun Yamagata, Department of Neuropsychiatry, Keio University School of Medicine, has been using imaging techniques such as MRI and NIRS and combining the data obtained with neuropsychological evaluations and artificial intelligence (AI) technology to better understand brain function\u0000 and structural abnormalities within the brain. In partnership with ergonomics and mechanical engineering specialist Associate Professor Motoki Shino, from The University of Tokyo, he is conducting an innovative study on driving behaviours and brain atrophy patterns. By combining engineering\u0000 and neuropsychology techniques the researchers will develop algorithms that predict the risk of dangerous driving behaviours in elderly drivers. In research exploring the relationship between the structural connectivity of white matter in the brain and the driving ability of healthy older\u0000 people Yamagata found that changes in the white matter within the dorsal attention network may contribute to a higher risk of unsafe driving behaviours in healthy elderly people. The researchers have used machine learning to develop a model that predicts the risk of unsafe driving in healthy\u0000 older people with high accuracy from neuropsychological tests and practical visual acuity.","PeriodicalId":88895,"journal":{"name":"IMPACT magazine","volume":"158 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76495930","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Effective mathematics education is key to this, which is why it's important to ensure that skills are being effectively taught to and learned by children in school. Few studies clarify the state of children's\u0000 mathematical abilities in developing countries and Dr Koji Watanabe, Miyazaki International College, Japan, wants to improve the situation. To do this, he will first establish a clear understanding of the current situation surrounding mathematics material in developing countries and then move\u0000 onto creating educational materials, including effective teaching materials, implementing educational practices and evaluating their effects. Ultimately, this will help inform mathematics education policies and improve mathematics education. A recognition of the importance of quantity is at\u0000 the heart of the teaching materials and educational practices that Watanabe is developing as he believes that academic achievement can be improved through a focus on numbers alongside a focus on quantity. To measure childrens' academic achievement and understanding, Watanabe and the team are\u0000 employing quantitative and qualitative methods, interviews and analysis. This includes the creation of tests using test theory, interviews and analysis of the mathematics education curricula and textbooks to improve validity.","PeriodicalId":88895,"journal":{"name":"IMPACT magazine","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83375980","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Digital interactions are different to those that take place in the physical world. Public indoor playgrounds\u0000 have been found to be beneficial for children and communication and interactions in public indoor playgrounds can be effective in supporting the rearing of children. This is the premise of Professor Seiki Tagawa's latest research, in which he and his team in the Department of Community Development,\u0000 Tokai University, Japan, are exploring how these playgrounds can help support parents and improve community development. Tagawa believes in the potential of public indoor playgrounds that are tailored to the circumstances of different countries to help improve the environment for families\u0000 struggling with child rearing and marginalised children. There is also potential to link these playgrounds with social work service to help address more difficult challenges. Tagawa's research is based on questionnaire surveys of local governments and thorough observational surveys in the\u0000 field to verify the most effective kinds of playgrounds, identify operational problems and assess maintenance costs. Beyond fun playground equipment, comprehensive design is important. So far, Tagawa has confirmed links between playgrounds and effective social work.","PeriodicalId":88895,"journal":{"name":"IMPACT magazine","volume":"23 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89641680","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The impact of these issues on the workforce could be significant. There are other ASEAN countries that are still considered developing nations and there is potential that Japan\u0000 could bolster its workforce by employing students and workers from these countries. For this to be feasible, these individuals would need to be good Japanese language speakers. Associate Professor Tatsuya Niimi and his team at the Faculty of Economics, Nagoya Gakuin University, Japan, are\u0000 conducting fundamental research on Japanese language education and career path connectivity in ASEAN countries. The researchers are seeking to understand how to improve teaching programmes that are geared towards resolving the shortage of local higher educated human resources for Japanese\u0000 firms, especially small-to-medium enterprises. They want to establish exactly how Japanese language teachers can ensure that their lessons are adequate and what Japanese firms require of their employees in order to make language students an adequate fit. The research involves using computing\u0000 technology to conduct remote interviews, web questionnaires and analyses. It will ascertain the requirements of Japanese business and then use this information to inform how students in ASEAN countries learn the Japanese language.","PeriodicalId":88895,"journal":{"name":"IMPACT magazine","volume":"80 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75908470","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Leyen highlighted in her address labour shortages, a lack of basic digital skills and the need to invest in\u0000 'reskilling and upskilling'. She said that in order for Europe to remain competitive now and in the future, a 'workforce with the right skills' is crucial and more emphasis must be placed on investments in professional education and upskilling, as well as efforts to attract the right skills\u0000 to Europe. The goal of the European Year of Skills is to revitalise lifelong learning and is part of the EU Skills Agenda 2020-2025; a plan to assist individuals and businesses with the development of skills. Ultimately, the initiative will: promote effective and inclusive investment in training\u0000 and upskilling; strengthen the relevance of skills in order to match identified gaps; match aspirations and skill sets with labour market opportunities; attract people from third countries with the skills needed by the EU; and facilitate the recognition of qualifications.","PeriodicalId":88895,"journal":{"name":"IMPACT magazine","volume":"49 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79826243","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Professor Hiroshi Aoyagi is interested in linguistic curiosities and the universality of language. He and his research team in Japan are investigating the possibility that\u0000 proto-Korean and proto-Japonic languages branched off from a common source thousands of years ago. Japanese and Korean have grammatical similarities but the typological relationship between the two is yet to be determined. Aoyagi is seeking to substantiate the hypothesis of a common origin\u0000 for the two languages and, in doing so, will contribute to the typology of the three major languages in the Far East: Japanese, Korean and Ryukyuan. In his 1999 book, Shiro Hattori stated that Korean may have a kinship relation with Japanese (next to Ryukyuan) and the two languages must have\u0000 split more than 4,000 years ago. Aoyagi believes that this conjecture, if tenable, accounts for the presence of double causatives, the absence of the benefactive auxiliary verbs and the absence of exclusive/adversity use of the passive morphemes in Korean and Ryukyuan. His studies involve\u0000 an explanation of the core morpho-syntactic characteristics of the Japanese and Korean languages. A similarity between Japanese and Korean is that they are both head-final agglutinative languages. Aoyagi will conduct a comparative study of how functional morphemes are combined in Japanese\u0000 and Korean. In his work, he is using the principles and parameters approach proposed by Noam Chomsky; namely Universal Grammar (UG).","PeriodicalId":88895,"journal":{"name":"IMPACT magazine","volume":"58 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86576469","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
