  • Purpose. The purpose of this study was to construct a measurement instrument for climacteric symptoms among Korean and Japanese women. Methods. From Dec. $1^{st}$ of 2003 to March $30^{th}$ of 2004, in-depth interviews were made with 26 women (15 in Jinju, Korea and 11 in Nagasaki, Japan) aged from 45 to 59 years who had not taken hormone replacement therapy to relieve the climacteric symptoms. A draft questionnaire with 45 items was constructed on the basis of the interview data and literature review. Three obstetricians, three PhDs in nursing science, and a chief nurse who was exclusively in charge of the climacteric management, examined the draft questionnaire to evaluate content validity. After deletions 39 items remained for a preliminary questionnaire. A survey was conducted by using a convenient sampling method in Jinju of Korea and Nagasaki of Japan during the period from April $1^{st}$, 2004 to July $10^{th}$, 2005. Results. Factor analysis identified 4 factors, which were 'mental and psychological symptoms', 'physical symptoms', 'loss of autonomic nervous system symptoms', 'sexual symptoms'. These four factors explained 46.9% of total variance. Conclusions. The results demonstrated that climacteric symptom scale was multidimensional, and the reliability and validity of the scale was supported.

  • In vitro and in vivo studies have reported the induction of matrix metaloproteinase (MMP)-1 in the fibroblasts by ultraviolet (UV) A irradiation. We constructed the skin equivalent model using HaCaT cells as keratinocytes and human neonatal dennal fibroblasts as fibroblasts in the present study. The induction of MMP-l in the fibroblasts was confirmed immunohistochemically 6 hours after UVA irradiation using this model. This model was simply composed of human keratinocytes and fibroblasts. To our knowledge, there have been a few papers concerning the skin equivalent model in the field of photobiology. The effect of UVA exposure to fibroblasts through keratinocytes was examined using this model. The cross-talk can be examined between keratinocytes and fibroblasts. This model can be a useful tool in the field of photobiology.

  • An advanced training machine designed for elderly people is proposed. The training machine allows users to have a safe and effective training through exercise close to ordinal motion appears in daily life such as standing up/down motion. The activation level of user's muscle is real timely monitored during the exercise and the training load is adjusted based on the body information. The training load is exerted and continuously controlled by actuation of an air cylinder.

  • A wearable device to assist fingering function for disabled is developed in this study. This is the second paper to report the progress in development of this assisting device. The device is developed for a patient who suffers from cervical spinal cord injury. In the first paper, it was reported that the patient could successfully pick up several types of objects with his paralyzed fingers by using this device. As a next step, the maneuverability of the device under grasping operation is discussed in this paper. Maneuverability of the system is experimentally evaluated. The dexterity in controlling finger force is compared between the cases that non-disabled examinees operate their finger with inherent abilities and that a disabled examinee operates his finger by using the assisting device.

  • Land cover change has been recognized as one of the most important factors influencing the occurrence of rainfall-triggered landslides. Satellite remote sensing provides detailed information regarding the spatial distribution and extent of land cover/use changes. This study describes the land cover changes in Nagasaki City, Japan and Kangnung City, South Korea. The former has been suffered from rainfall-triggered disasters for long term and latter was damaged by Typhoon Rusa in 2002. The results obtained from both study areas clearly show that land cover changes have occurred in the last decade as a result of both natural forces and human activities.

  • 일본에 있어서, 공업고등학교 졸업생의 대학진학은 정책적으로 평생학습 관점에서 추진되고 있다. 따라서 공과대학은 이제까지 고등학교에서 대학에의 계통성을 기본으로 한 교육방법을 크게 개혁시킬 필요가 생기고 있다. 나가사키대학교에서는 1995년도부터 공업고등학교 졸업생의 틀별입학이 시작되었다. 현재, $\ulcorner$공학력$\lrcorner$ 양성이라는 새로운 교육-학습 모델 아래서, 특히 보습교육에 의한 기초학력 강화를 중시하고 있다. 학생 개인의 학습이력이나 수업을 관찰하면서, 학생의 실태에 맞는 수업실천과 교재개발을 검토하고, 공업고교 교사와 대학교수가 함께 추진하고 있다.
