  • This study compared the voices of ministers and priests. There. has been a common notion that ministers is more passionate than priests in delivering their speech. Therefore, it can be assumed that ministers abuses or misuses his/her voice compared to priests. This study attempted acoustic analysis of the voices of 6 ministers and .5 priests before and after their speech. We measured F0, jitter, shimmer, NNE and HNR using Dr. Speech (Version 4.0, Tiger DRS). A t-test was performed to determine any objective differences of their voices. The results showed that there were no significant differences in the voices of ministers and priests before and after their speech. However, there seemed to be an interesting reversed tendency between ministers and priests, although it did not reach a statistical significance. That is, P0 tended to increase after the speech in ministers, whereas it tended to decrease in priests. In addition, HNR tended to decrease after the speech in priests, while it tended to increase in ministers.

  • This study explores the textual characteristics, more precisely the quantity and diversity of nouns, of Japanese prime ministers' Diet addresses. In the field of stylistics, textual characteristics independent of the content have been examined with the aim on detecting the authors, genres, and chronological variations of texts. This study focuses instead on textual characteristics related to the content of texts, namely the quantity and diversity of nouns, because our aim is to analyze texts to better understand two political phenomena: (a) the difference between the two types of Diet addresses delivered by Japanese prime ministers, and (b) the perceived changes made to these addresses by two powerful prime ministers. It is a case study of the microscopic characterization of texts, which has become more and more important with the expansion in the scope of stylistics and the production of a wide variety of new types of texts following the advent of the Web.

For this, three women, who were children of ministers and who were in their twenties, were provided with fifteen sessions of song psychotherapy at the Music Therapy Clinic of E University.

  • Water quality index (WQI) can be a great tool that allows experts to translate large amount of complex water quality data into a format more easily understood by the public and policy makers. Canadian Council of Ministers of the Environment Water Quality Index (CCME WQI) can be calculated with the three factors (Scope: $F_1$, Frequency: $F_2$, Amplitude: $F_3$). After all, the WQI for a specific site is produced as a number between 0 to 100; the scale is also divided into five categories, i.e., Excellent, Good, Fair, Marginal and Poor. The WQI was found to be highly related to Chl-a, pH, temperature among the collected items. When the more input parameters were used, the range of variation generally became smaller. $F_3$ among the factors of WQI was influenced by algae. It showed a similar variation tendency between WQI and algal bloom in 2008.
