UW-MadisonでAnimal Scienceを勉強しているのですが、卒業に必要な授業にproseminarというものがありまして、そこで発表したプレゼンテーションを備忘録も兼ねてこちらに残しておこうと思います。
Proseminar の説明としては、こちらとこちらがしっくりきます(英語)。近々卒業予定の学生が自分の興味のあるトピックを選び、仮説を立て、その仮説を支持する論文を2本選んで30分のプレゼンテーションを作り、教授(最低二人＋生徒の題材に関連のある教授)とクラスメイトの前で発表します。この後に、20分の質疑応答があります。また、事前に自分のプレゼンの内容をレター用紙一枚にまとめて教授とクラスメイトに配布します。教授とクラスメイトからの評価50/50で自分のプレゼンテーションは成績がつけられます。授業事態のの成績は、自分が他の学生の発表をどのように評価したか、という participation の部分も加点されて最終的な評価になります。うさぎとカルシウムの話だけでなく、そんなこちらの大学生事情もお楽しみ頂けたら幸いです。

RECAP
On April 22nd the Japanese government set a more strict evacuation advisory for residents around the crippled Fukushima Dai-ichi nuclear power plant because of concerns about long-term radiation exposure.
As a result residents and volunteers were prohibited from entering this zone around the nuclear power plant. There were still a lot of animals left in the evacuation area, and before April 22nd some cattle owners or pet guardians had been sneaking into the area to feed these animals; however, it became impossible because of the new government policy.
Animal lovers and veterinaries took actions to get a permission to enter the no-go zone for saving these remaining animals. Appeals have been gathering from home and abroad to the Japanese government because abandoned animals had only one possible future–death from starvation.
TIMELINE
28 April – 2 May
Fukushima Prefecture starts a research project on companion animal left behind in the 20 kilometer zone. Twenty -seven dogs and two cats were rescued during these five days.
7 May
The Animal Welfare and Management Office dispatches on staff member to the Nuclear Emergency Response Headquarters.
10 May
Residents are allowed to briefly return to homes in the no-go zone.
The Ministry of the Environment, Fukushima Prefecture, and Headquarters for the Relief of Animals work together and rescue companion animals.
Eleven dogs and seven cats are saved during May 10th-13th.
12 May
The NHK, Japanese Broadcasting Corporation, announced about the Japanese government’s new policy on livestock in evacuation zone in Fukushima Prefecture.
Chief Cabinet Secretary Yukio Edano says the government has ordered livestock to be culled in the 20 kilometer no-entry zone around the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant, with the consent of the cattle owners.
Edano told reporters on Thursday that the existence of the no-entry zone has made it impossible to keep feeding the livestock.
He said the government has reached the decision, as it must be too difficult for farmers to let their cherished livestock die of starvation.
Edano said livestock euthanized under the government instruction would be subject to compensation.

16 May
Yuichiro Tamaki, a member of the House of Representatives has been working hard for saving animals in disaster area. He has been reporting about the euthanasia of animals on his blog.
He explains that the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries of Japan (MAFF) will hold a briefing session for representatives.
There are mainly three points in the government instruction.
First, owners’ consent must be gotten. Second, the euthanasia follows three steps: pain relief, anesthesia, and inject a muscle relaxant. The third point is to keep euthanized bodies on cattle owners’ land for a while.
Furthermore, Tamaki says that he asked MAFF to show each cattle owner a clear compensation amount before they give their consent.
The budget committee of the House of Representatives meets.
During the meeting, Kouriki Jojima demands flexible and appropriate reconstruction policy in damages of the Great East Japan Earthquake. Also he points out that both the Japanese government and local governments haven’t had clear ideas about what to do on companion animals and livestock in the case of nuclear emergency, and it was one of main reason for the delay in taking action on this issue.
He calls for appropriate reaction which follows the World Organisation for Animal Health (OIE) guide lines for animal welfare for the sake of international trust. At the end of his appeal, he mentions alternative ways for saving animals; for example, radiation affects research.
Kano Michihiko, the minister of MAFF, answers Jojima’s request and declares four conditions for exception from euthanasia. First, there is an academic reason or public benefit. Second, appropriate screening and decontamination must be done. Third, accepting institutions must provide enough supervision. Fourth, no meat can be produced.
17 May
In an effort to recruit more animal rescue workers, an arrangement is undertaken for temporary staffing with Tokyo city.
19 May
Yuichiro Tamaki announces on his blog the Comanion Animal Rescue Project has requested the Ministry of the Environment to take action even before the brief return starts on May 22nd.
21 May
Yuichiro Tamaki announces on his blog that transfer of swine in the no-go zone in Minami Soma City will be allowed. A transfer requirement has been offered from the city, and finally MAFF accepts it.
The second piece of information concerns companion animals. Residents will be allowed to return to the zone firefly on May 22nd and 23rd, and Tamaki says efforts will be made to rescue these animals at that time. There will be six people who are experts at capturing animals from Tokyo, and the Ministry of Environment will call 26 veterinary supports.
Takumi and other people have been working to rescue left companion animals before May 22nd; however, the arrangement of staff didn’t work well.

１１月２１日(水)、午前１１時に予約を取って女の子達の血液検査。
まんごーろす太はとうとうジャンプアップして犬用柵を飛び越えるようになりました。
最近、ようやっと鍋のふきこぼれる音、炒め物の音、にパニックにならないようになってきた。
が、お嬢さんズのお部屋と比べて明らかに違うものがある。
9月2日にHRSのジョージの所に行ってまた草を買ってくる。
その際に、まんごーろす太の草の食いが悪い事について言ったところ、
「あの子はどんな草も食べない。遊んで散らかしはするけれど」
との事。
さいですか……と脱力。
結局、それぞれ三人には個室を用意する事にした。
犬用のエクササイズ・パネルで三つのセルをつくり、向かって右から、まんごーろす太の助、えせる、ぷち、の順番。
まんごーろすたあるいはニューホテルロス太がやって来て一日半目の朝、10時。
昨晩の息苦しさに寝部屋を抜け出してソファーでひっくり返っていた仔牛はもぐらに起こされる。
お嬢さんズにご飯をあげると、えせるの食いが悪い。
モンテセロからここチャペルヒルに引っ越してから、何故かモンテセロでのろすの記憶が殆ど無くて、なんとかして、まだそんなに悲しそうじゃなかったろすのことを思い出せないかと探していたら、少しだけ、思い出した。
8月13日月曜日、とうとう三度目のお見合い兼お試し移住としてマンゴー君がうちにやってきました。
7時半、と聞いていたのですが、なかなかやってこず、来週の月曜日だったか？
と、自分のまだまだ至らない英語力を疑いつつも、ジョージはやってきました。
うちの折りたたみ式（ポータブル）移動ケージより少し大きいだけのケージでマンゴー君御来訪。
最初は、誰のテリトリーでもないキッチンでエセルとマンゴー君だけで相性を確認。
月曜日から、ちょっとえせるの様子がおかしかった。
土曜日にこれまでずっとリビングに出しっぱなしだっので、サークルの中に帰ってもらって、日曜日にそのサークルの中に、狭さに意地が焼けた、とアピールしてきたので、またリビングに出す。
けれど、いつもなら「もうっ！」とぷんぷんしながらも、すぐに忘れて「わーい！」と走り出すのに、この日はそれがない。それどころか、表情がとても悲しげ。
ぷちよりもいつもはゆっくりのはずの呼吸がぷちより早い。
やっと病院から電話があった。
