  • (4/22) Buddhist Women in Nepal Practice Kung Fu for Self-Defense, Strength
    AUDIO     Buddhist Women in Nepal Practice Kung Fu for Self-Defense, Strength             Buddhist nuns in Nepal are once again performing martial arts for the public after a five-year break caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.   The women recently put on a show for onlookers at their religious community, called a monastery, outside the capital Kathmandu. The performance was attended by reporters from Reuters news agency.   Members of the hilltop Druk Amitabha Monastery are part of the 1,000-year-old Drukpa religious organization. The group gives nuns equal status to male community members called monks.   The Drukpa lineage includes the only female order in the male-led Buddhist monastery system. The nun community was established in 2009 and now has 300 members between the ages of six and 54.             The nuns come from Bhutan, India and Nepal. They are all trained in kung fu, the ancient Chinese style martial art that promotes self-defense and strength.   In their recent performance, the nuns were seen moving their hands quickly and kicking their legs high, with some holding swords. Hundreds of people gathered to watch the performance and cheered the group on.   Usually, such religious organizations expect nuns to cook and clean and not practice any form of martial arts. But one monk, Gyalwang Drukpa, decided to train women in kung fu to improve their health and spiritual well-being. He has a position just slightly below the Dalai Lama in the Tibetan Buddhist leadership.           Jigme Jangchub Chosdon is a 23-year-old nun who came from Ladakh in India. She told Reuters, “We do kung fu to keep ourselves mentally and physically fit, and our aim is to promote women's empowerment and gender equality."             Another performer was 24-year-old Jigme Yangchen Gamo, a nun from Ramechhap in Nepal. She said, "With the confidence from kung fu, I really want to help the community, young girls to build their own strength."   The nuns’ website explains that the combination of gender equality, physical strength and respect for all living things represents the order's return to its "true spiritual roots."   In the past, the nuns have traveled long distances on foot and by bike in the Himalayas to raise money for disaster relief and to promote environment-friendly living.             Another member of the group is Jigme Konchok Lhamo, a 30-year-old nun from India. She said her main goal for the future is to reach enlightenment like Lord Buddha, who founded Buddhism 2,600 years ago.   She added, "But for now as I am a normal person... I think I will be focusing more on helping others. Helping others is our religion."                           _______________________________________ Words in This Story nun – n. a woman who is a member of a religious community order - n. a religious organization whose members usually live together and promise to follow special rules and traditions confidence – n. a feeling or belief that you can do something well or succeed at something enlightenment - n. Buddhism. a final spiritual state marked by the absence of desire or suffering                                   https://learningenglish.voanews.com/a/buddhist-women-in-nepal-practice-kung-fu-for-self-defense-strength/7922266.html

  • (4/21) Colorado Court Rules Elephants Barred from Seeking Zoo Release, Are Not Humans
    AUDIO         Colorado Court Rules Elephants Barred from Seeking Zoo Release, Are Not Humans                 A court in the American state of Colorado has ruled against an animal rights group seeking the release of five elephants from a zoo.   Lawyers for the group Nonhuman Rights Project were seeking to use a legal process designed for prisoners to dispute their imprisonment. A favorable ruling would have permitted the lawyers to dispute the animals’ detention at the zoo.   The elephants Missy, Kimba, Lucky, LouLou and Jambo live at the Cheyenne Mountain Zoo. The Nonhuman Rights Project’s final goal was to get them moved to an elephant sanctuary.   But the Colorado Supreme Court ruled that the legal process the group employed could not be used for the animals.   “…Because an elephant is not a person, the elephants here do not have standing to bring a habeas corpus claim,” the court said in the ruling. A habeas corpus claim usually asks a court for the release of a prisoner who says they are being illegally detained.   The decision follows a similar finding by a court in New York in 2022. Nonhuman Rights Project also brought that case. The legal action concerned Happy, an elephant at the Bronx Zoo.                 The Colorado elephants were born in the wild in Africa. The rights group said the animals have shown signs of brain damage because the zoo is like a prison. It wanted the animals released to one of the two accredited elephant sanctuaries in the United States. The group said it does not believe the animals would survive in the wild.   The Cheyenne Mountain Zoo argued that moving the elephants might result in their placement with new animals. The Zoo said it could cause them unnecessary stress and would be cruel considering the age of the elephants. It said the five elephants are not used to being in large groups. And it argued that the elephants do not have the skills or desire to join one, based on observations of the animals.   The zoo welcomed the court’s ruling. But it also said it was disappointed that there had to be a legal fight over the issue. The zoo accused the Nonhuman Rights Project of “abusing court systems" to raise money.   The Nonhuman Rights Project said the latest ruling "perpetuates a clear injustice.” It predicted that future courts would reject the idea that only humans have a right to liberty.   “As with other social justice movements, early losses are expected,” the organization said in a statement. It added that current legal policy has permitted Missy, Kimba, Lucky, LouLou, and Jambo “to be relegated to a lifetime of mental and physical suffering.”                           __________________________________________________ Words in This Story sanctuary – n. a refuge for wildlife where predators are controlled, and hunting is illegal accredited –adj. officially approved by a body that carries out such approvals stress –n. a state of tension or nervousness often caused by something troubling perpetuate –n. to make perpetual or cause to last indefinitely relegate – adj. to remove or dismiss to a less important place                                   https://learningenglish.voanews.com/a/colorado-court-rules-elephants-barred-from-seeking-zoo-release-are-not-humans/7948893.html

  • (4/18) A History of Christmas in America
    AUDIO       A History of Christmas in America             Today, Steve Ember and Shirley Griffith present a special program on Christmas traditions in the United States during the first half of the 19th century.   During this period, there was no set way of celebrating the day, which was not yet an official holiday. Communities around the country honored the day in different ways. Some observed Christmas as an important Christian religious day honoring the birth of Jesus. Others celebrated the day with parties, music, drinking and eating. And, some communities did not celebrate the day at all.   But, it was during this period that Americans began to reinvent the holiday. They combined ancient Christmas traditions from different cultures with modern American influences.   Here are Steve Ember and Shirley Griffith.   In 1819, the popular American writer Washington Irving wrote a series of five essays published in a book called The Sketchbook of Geoffrey Crayon, Gent.   The essays describe a wealthy British landowner who invites his farm workers into his home to celebrate Christmas. The landowner recreates a traditional Christmas as it would have been celebrated in the distant past. Irving praised this looking back to ancient traditions. He liked the idea of different levels of society coming together to enjoy a festive and peaceful holiday. Washington Irving seemed to express concern about the lack of such unifying Christmas traditions in modern America.             Immigrants shape Christmas traditions   Penne Restad wrote a book Christmas in America: A History. It shows how Americans began to slowly shape Christmas into a unifying national holiday during the first half of the 19th century. She describes how Christmas had different meanings for Americans who came from different cultural and religious backgrounds. Many immigrants brought Christmas traditions from their own countries.   Religion played a big role in how an American might celebrate the holiday. Calvinist Christians banned the celebration of Christmas. But groups such as Episcopalians and Moravians honored the day with religious services and seasonal decorations.   By mid-century, Christian groups began to ignore their religious differences over the meaning of Christmas and honored the day in special ways.   Christmas became an important time for families to celebrate at home. More and more Christian Americans also began to follow the European traditions of Christmas trees and giving gifts. Christians believed that the tree represented Jesus and was also a sign of new beginnings. German immigrants brought their tradition of putting lights, sweets and toys on the branches of evergreen trees placed in their homes.   This tradition of setting up a Christmas tree soon spread to many American homes. So did the practice of giving people presents. As these traditions increased in popularity, the modern trade and business linked to Christmas also grew.           Christmas as a holiday   As Christmas became more popular, some states declared the day a state holiday. Louisiana was the first state to make the move in 1837. By 1860, 14 other states had followed. It was not until 1870 that President Ulysses Grant made Christmas a federal holiday.   Americans already knew old Christmas songs that came from England and other areas of Europe. But many new American Christmas songs started to become popular. For example, in eighteen forty-nine, a religious leader from Massachusetts wrote the words to It Came Upon a Midnight Clear.The song Jingle Bells appeared seven years later. And, a year later, a religious leader in Williamsport, Pennsylvania wrote the song We Three Kings of Orient Are.   And of course, no discussion of Christmas would be complete without talking about of one of the holiday’s most famous representations, Santa Claus.   This character is based on the story of Saint Nicholas, a Christian holy person believed to have lived in the third century. Saint Nicholas became known as a protector of children. Different cultures have given him different names. These include Sinterklaas, Kris Kringle and Father Christmas. But for most Americans his most popular name would become Santa Claus.   In the 19th century, many Dutch immigrants living in the United States celebrated the feast of Saint Nicholas on December 6. Saint Nicholas was especially important to New Yorkers because of their history as a Dutch colony. In 1809, Washington Irving published his History of New York. It lists Saint Nicholas as the patron saint of New Yorkers. He describes the saint wearing a low hat, large pants, and smoking a pipe. Does this description sound familiar?                                         _________________________________________________ Words in This Story   society - n. people in general thought of as living together in organized communities with shared laws, traditions, and values​ festive - adj. cheerful and exciting: suited to a celebration or holiday​ unifying - v. to cause (people or things) to be joined or brought together​ decoration - n. something that is added to something else to make it more attractive​ practice - n. something that is done often or regularly​                                 https://learningenglish.voanews.com/a/a-history-of-chrismas-in-america/4174019.html

  • [4/25]“神仙假期来了！” 多地学生迎来“春假时刻”
              原标题：乐享春假 共赴一场春日之约   　　【文旅观察】   　　春意渐浓、万物生长，正是赏花踏青的好时节，多地学生也迎来了“春假时刻”。不少高校和中小学将春假与清明假期或“五一”假期安排在一起，让学生享受更长的假日时光。   　　近日，中共中央办公厅、国务院办公厅印发的《提振消费专项行动方案》指出，鼓励有条件的地方结合实际探索设置中小学春秋假，引发广泛关注。设置春秋假，对中小学生意味着什么？孩子们放假了，家长的假期能否跟上？春秋假将如何影响文旅消费市场？       　　让学生走出校门、走进大自然   　　“停课不调课、不补课”“可与清明假期连休”……近日，不少学校宣布放春假，让家长和学生直呼“神仙假期来了”。   　　在湖北利川市，中小学自4月7日开始放春假两天，与清明假期相加连休5天，这是利川市继2023年、2024年后第三次推行春假制度。利川市教育局副局长张平说，春假期间当地会提前制定一些亲近自然、劳动体验、红色教育等活动，鼓励孩子们走进社会大课堂。   　　早在2004年，浙江杭州就率先实行中小学春秋假，二十多年来积累了不少实践经验。近日，杭州多区发布通知，将在4月底开启中小学春假，很多家长开始轻车熟路地安排出游计划。   　　“每年春假从杭州出发去各大城市的高铁票都十分紧张，今年我们早早预订了去洛阳的高铁票，准备带孩子去感受古都厚重的文化氛围。”家住杭州的王舒兴致勃勃地告诉记者。   　　“合理用好春秋假，可以让中小学生有时间到博物馆、大自然中去学习，更好地提高学生综合素养，让孩子们的童年更有色彩、更有温度。”中国教育科学研究院研究员储朝晖说。   　　在草长莺飞的季节感受浓浓春意，看花儿绽放、听鸟儿啼啭，春假不仅能让学生们在拥抱大自然中放松身心，还让学生们有机会参加丰富多彩的实践活动。目前，不少学校在春假期间提供研学旅行、营地活动等个性化活动供选择，让学生的假期生活更充实。如广东广州市玉岩中学自3月26日起开启为期5天的春假，学校组织了以“历史情怀”“科技探索”“海洋科普”为主题的研学旅行活动，行程涵盖孙中山故居纪念馆、港珠澳大桥、珠海太空中心、北京师范大学珠海校区及长隆海洋王国等地。   　　与此同时，不少高校也陆续放春假。4月7日，北京信息科技大学开始放春假，并开设了60个研学项目供学生选择。厦门大学嘉庚学院校历显示，今年计划4月26日—5月4日放假，学生可连休9天。去赏花、去旅行、去交友……学校打出的宣传语让无数学生心动，春假为引导学生结伴出游、开拓视野提供了更多可能。   　　春假延续假日经济热度   　　春秋气温适宜，适合出游。近日的春假潮带动了亲子游、研学游市场。在春假运行较为成熟的地区，不少文旅机构推出相关主题活动，春日采茶、户外探索、文博参观等项目都深受学生和家长欢迎。   　　在杭州，“春假去哪遛娃”成为各平台的热门搜索词。天目山脚下的民宿老板祝先生特意策划了以“自然探索成长计划”为主题的春假限定活动，让家长陪孩子近距离观察动物，带动客房预订量快速上涨。   　　“我们非常支持给孩子放春秋假。”北京学生家长周玉婷告诉记者，她家孩子所在的小学经常在春秋季组织研学、游学等活动，孩子每次都兴致很高、收获颇多。“春秋假实施后，出游能有更多选择，可以避开五一假期、暑假等出行高峰期，带孩子出去玩也不用为热门景区、博物馆的门票难约而发愁，一定能玩得更尽兴！”周玉婷说。   　　“春秋两季气候宜人，旅游体验更佳。春秋假的实施推广将在一定程度上撬动文旅消费需求，让消费者的出游时间更自由，带来更多选择。”中国旅游研究院国际部主任杨劲松指出，“春秋假可以有效拓展旅游场景，让亲子研学、自然教育等热门主题产品获得更长的消费时间‘窗口’，还能提升周边游、短途游和本地消费热度。”   　　一直以来，假日经济都是我国消费增长的重要引擎。每逢节假日，文旅、餐饮、交通、零售等消费火热。专家认为，春秋假能延续热门假期出游热度。旅游从业者可以此为契机，进一步丰富文旅产品供给，推出更多能满足亲子消费需求的优质产品；政府部门可推出相应补贴和优惠政策，更好地激活春秋假期间的消费市场。   　　缓解集中出游带来的供需矛盾   　　每逢五一、国庆等热门假期，大量游客集中出游常常导致景区人满为患、交通拥堵，影响人们的出游体验。设置春秋假将对倡导错峰出游、缓解假日经济供需矛盾起到一定作用。   　　“高校、中小学灵活设置春秋假，能有效分流旅游旺季热门景区的客流，缓解寒暑假亲子游集中爆发带来的压力，改善景区‘淡旺季’不平衡的问题，促进旅游市场在不同时段均衡发展。”杨劲松说。   　　事实上，关于春秋假的讨论已经持续多年。不少人认为推广春秋假仍面临一些现实难题，如由于带薪休假落实不到位，常出现“孩子放假、家长无假”的情况，难以让春秋假发挥其应有的作用。   　　尽管多地学校已经开始实施春秋假，然而家长与学生假期不同步的问题该如何解？在全国推行春秋假是否可行？   　　对此，中国旅游研究院院长戴斌指出，可以考虑和期待适当增加和延长公共假期，让家长可以跟进学生的春秋假，通过在法律、行政、经济等多层面加强保障支持，倒逼用人单位落实保障职工休息休假权益。   　　今年全国两会期间，全国人大代表、中国工艺美术大师庞永辉建议在全国推行春秋假，进一步促进假日旅游消费，各地可因地制宜、错峰休假，缓解统一假期出游集中带来的资源供需紧张问题。   　　杨劲松指出，实行春秋假有望推动休假制度改革，各地政府可进一步推动带薪休假制度落实。同时，春秋假的推广也需要结合实际、循序渐进，避免“一刀切”带来新问题。   　　《提振消费专项行动方案》“保障休息休假权益”这一章节，除了鼓励探索设置春秋假外，也提出“严格落实带薪年休假制度”“鼓励带薪年休假与小长假连休，实现弹性错峰休假”等，通过保障人们的休假权益，激发消费意愿、提振消费信心。   　　专家认为，推行春秋假过程中，要做好景区管理和服务接待工作，各地要出台配套措施，保障好春秋假期间的出行安全、市场供应和价格稳定，通过保障消费者权益更好地释放消费潜力。(记者 鲁元珍) https://www.chinanews.com.cn/sh/2025/04-13/10398719.shtml

  • [4/24]新闻有观点·行业洞察丨“第四代住宅”给“好房子”开门？
            ※ mp3 파일 참고 :   "LINK"  링크 클릭해주시면  mp3 포함되어 있습니다 :)             “第四代住宅”的概念从哪里来？   什么是第四代住宅？在徐腾看来，第四代住宅只是一种较为通俗的说法，目前业界并未形成住宅代际划分的统一标准。他说，住宅的划分曾有不同方式，比如，遵循人类发展的角度，从茅草屋到后来的砖瓦房，再到工业革命兴起之后，大量人口涌入城市的背景下，以节约土地为目标出现的集合住宅。按照出现的先后顺序，依次被称为第一代、第二代、第三代住宅，而目前提到的第四代住宅，狭义理解，正是以提升住房品质为主要目标所建造的智能化住宅。   不少“第四代住宅”楼盘都打出“立体花园”和“大露台”的广告。回顾国内住宅的演变，严跃进提醒大家关注住宅中“阳台”的功能变化。最开始的住宅没有阳台，后来一些住宅配备了以晾晒为主要功能的阳台，现如今“第四代住宅”其实更加注重观赏性和生活体验，阳台已经变身为“空中花园露台”，阳台的功能已然升级。依据阳台绿化的需求而衍生出来的相关配套设施和政策举措，也更能够满足购房者的需求。严跃进提到，过去阳台、露台都算建筑面积，近来部分省份相继发布利好政策，阳台的建设面积不纳入建筑面积之中，以更高的品质吸引消费者。“空中花园露台平民化的设计，更加符合老百姓的实际需求。”这都助推了“第四代住宅”的发展。   “好房子”是“第四代住宅”的另一种说法吗？   2025年全国两会期间，《政府工作报告》首次提到“好房子”，并给出了四个明确的标准：安全、舒适、绿色、智慧。与此同时，拥有不计入产权面积超大露台的“第四代住宅”，凭借这一优势使实际得房率达到90%左右。   “第四代住宅”能否作为“好房子”的代表？二者又有着怎样的关系？徐腾解释，与前三代住宅相比，“第四代住宅”更加注重产品类型上的区别。而“好房子”则无关产品类型，更注重居住者的实际感受，即房子良好居住品质的体验。以徐腾所在的武汉为例，在他接触的房屋建造和居住中，智能化的应用和智慧化的场景随处可见，这些都是住房设计的革新。“什么是政策认为的好，什么是老百姓认为的好，这两个概念之间可能还有一些差距，这也是未来我们需要长时间去观察的。”徐腾提到，从国家倡导的绿色低碳、智能安全的“好房子”政策，到现如今消费者的居住需求和舒适的居住体验，二者之间如何有效衔接并让老百姓享受到实实在在的舒适体验，是推进“好房子”政策，将其落实到“第四代住宅”产品设计之中的一个不容忽视的点。   在严跃进看来，二者的相互衔接体现在“第四代住宅”的具体设计之中，从空中花园到层高的具体调整，背后正是对“好房子”政策之中绿色和安全两项标准的具体落实。“我认为今年肯定会有一些突破，各个城市会有一些非常好的‘好房子’项目。”谈及第四代住宅的发展，严跃进说，从一二线城市到四五线城市，各地应当因地制宜，在安全、舒适、绿色、智慧的总体标准之下，根据城市的具体情况和实际规划，设计出具有不同侧重点且形态多样的“好房子”，从而产生一批标杆性的项目。优秀的设计案例分享至全国，也会为行业提供更多的设计理念，为“好房子”政策的具体落实添砖加瓦。   住宅不论第几代，居住的硬需求由谁来满足？   “第四代住宅”火热上市的背后，也难逃价格成本和房屋适配性的难题，面对诸如露台采光、噪音干扰、后期维护、气候导致的安全因素以及花园后期的维护等“第四代住宅”共性和个性的问题。严跃进认为，“第四代住宅”的验房制度标准亟待建立，这不仅能够打破房产商在售卖过程中“自卖自夸”式的售楼陷阱，也为未来第四代住宅的行业标准做了具体规定，防止购房者入住后因房屋的设计和结构问题产生种种困扰。而这一工作则需要政府相关部门的权威机构监督落实。“国家层面按照严格的制度进行监督，就能够在房屋交付期间保护购房者自身的权益，从而为老百姓提供高品质的住房。”   长远来看，“好房子”的建设不仅仅局限于房屋的代际升级，更重要的是还有旧房维护，如何将老小区内的老房子、旧房子进行翻新改造，使其符合“好房子”的标准，也是当下不得不面对的问题。严跃进以老旧房屋加装电梯为例，揭示了“好房子”落实背后的政策思路。在他看来，“好房子”的改造并非完全按照新房子的标准去进行。“‘好房子’既是一个建筑层面的理念，也是一个服务方面的内容。”他也提到，好的设计、好的规范要符合一定的经济合理的导向，作为“好房子”规划的核心工作，也是未来落实过程中不可遗漏的。   徐腾对此深感认同，他认为，无论是“好房子”还是“第四代住宅”，都不能脱离人的具体需求，在满足居住者需求的同时，减少相应的建设成本，是未来房屋建设的可行之路。在他看来，“空中露台”的体验需求可以通过住宅周边配套的诸如公园、绿地等公共资源来实现，而露台的观赏需求远不及普通百姓日常晾晒的实用性需求来得更加重要。“政策落实的过程中，将会遇到很多具体的实际问题，而我们解决实际问题的经验和能力，才是真正决定老百姓居住品质的重中之重。” https://china.cnr.cn/gdgg/20250413/t20250413_527134204.shtml

  • [4/23]探访中兽医门诊：别样的诊疗手法进行望、闻、问、切
              　中新网成都4月13日电 题：探访中兽医门诊：别样的诊疗手法进行望、闻、问、切   　　记者 吕杨   　　上午9点，在四川农业大学教学动物医院二楼的就诊室内，有近十只狗狗整齐地排成一列，乖巧地趴在针灸架上接受针灸治疗。“上次治疗后，狗狗后腿感知有没有变化？”医生贺常亮询问宠物主人治疗效果后，就从铁盒中取出银针，半蹲下来，拇指与食指持针，找准穴位迅速下针，调整深浅稍作捻针后才算完成一针，而一只狗狗身上就要重复这样的动作近20次。   贺常亮医生为患病宠物进行针灸治疗。吕杨摄   　　据了解，四川农业大学教学动物医院中兽医门诊日均接待约40例“患者”，带着宠物前来就诊的主人来自全国各地，大多是四处寻医收效甚微后，最后选择中兽医作为替代疗法。“我的狗狗没有行动能力，但因为年龄大还有多种并发症，无法进行手术治疗，听说中兽医诊疗效果好就来试试。”市民王女士告诉记者，经过一个周期诊疗，狗狗情况明显好转。   　　记者在现场看到，贺常亮看诊时不仅要仔细观察宠物眼睛、口腔，观看宠物主人提供的日常状态影像，还要把双手放于动物后腿内侧进行把脉。“在犬猫身上，它的脉诊主要切的是后腿内侧股动脉这个位置”，贺常亮介绍，中兽医与中医一脉相承，中兽医的特色还是在望、闻、问、切四诊上面，通过望诊望眼睛、望舌头，机体的排泄物、分泌物的状态、颜色，反映出机体内部的一些病理的变化，闻诊、问诊也是通过比如说和主人的交谈等方式获取和疾病相关的信息。   宠物狗狗正在进行后肢康复治疗。吕杨摄   　　宠物针灸是诊室最常用的治疗方法之一，针灸室里面摆放着数个宠物针灸架，旁边配备电针治疗仪和毫针；墙上挂着展示犬类穴位的图示，从侧面、背面和腹部全方位介绍犬类的穴位分布。“动物和人80%的穴位是一样的，包括用到的各种诊疗方法都是大同小异，人有的印堂穴等穴位，犬猫都有。”贺常亮说，中兽医为动物治病会采用针灸、艾灸等方式，但由于动物不能用语言交流，因此操作难度较高。   　　除了中医诊疗手段用于宠物治疗，贺常亮还将中医养生的理念给宠物主人解读。“我们通过中医的按摩、艾灸、食疗等，让它的机体处在一个最佳的状态”，贺常亮认为，宠物出现患病前兆的时候，主人就应该在医生指导下通过中医辅助手段减少疾病风险。   贺常亮医生正在为狗狗进行切脉。吕杨摄   　　随着社会发展和生活水平的提高，动物诊疗主体对象已经从大型家畜逐步变成家庭宠物，然而中兽医的发展有所改善，但人才不足的情况始终影响整个行业的前景。贺常亮看来，加大中兽医传承与创新发展的力度，需要夯实职业教育教师队伍建设，吸引更多年轻人投身中兽医的学习。(完)         https://www.chinanews.com.cn/sh/2025/04-13/10398721.shtml

  • 「4/25」iPS細胞使い1型糖尿病の治療 京大病院が治験開始を発表
    免疫の異常などで発症するとされる「1型糖尿病」について、京都大学医学部附属病院はiPS細胞から血糖値を下げる「インスリン」を分泌する細胞を作って患者に移植する治験を開始したと発表しました。1例目の患者の経過は良好で2030年代の実用化を目指したいとしています。 「1型糖尿病」は免疫の異常などによって血糖値を下げるインスリンを分泌する細胞が正常に働かなくなる病気で、国内に12万人余りの患者がいるとされています。 京都大学医学部附属病院は14日、京都市内で会見を開き、健康な人のiPS細胞からインスリンを分泌する「すい島細胞」を作ってシート状にし、「1型糖尿病」の患者の腹部に移植する治験を開始したと発表しました。 1例目の手術はことし2月に行われ、神奈川県のベンチャー企業が作った数センチ四方のシートを40代の女性の患者に移植したということです。 今回の治験は安全性を中心に経過を確認するのが目的で、女性はすでに退院し、術後1か月までに安全性に大きな問題はなかったということです。 研究チームは、今後さらに2人に移植手術を行うことにしていて、有効性などを確認した上で2030年代の実用化を目指したいとしています。 京都大学大学院医学研究科糖尿病・内分泌・栄養内科学の矢部大介教授は「大きなトラブルはなく現段階では十分に成功したと言える。患者から毎日インスリンを注射をするのは大変だと聞いているので、注射をしなくていい世界になることを期待したい」と話していました。

    石破総理大臣は、連合の芳野会長との「政労会見」に臨み、賃上げの流れを全国に波及させるため、施策を総動員する考えを示しました。 「政労会見」は、総理大臣と連合の会長が労働政策をめぐって直接意見を交わすもので、自公政権のもとでは2009年の麻生政権以来16年ぶりに行われました。 冒頭、連合の芳野会長は「春闘は大手から中小・小規模事業所へと交渉の舞台が移り、さらなる賃上げ率の上昇を期待したいが、いわゆるトランプ関税により労働者は経済の先行きに不安を感じている。賃上げの機運に水を差しはしないかと懸念しており、最大限の善処をお願いしたい」と述べました。 これに対し石破総理大臣は「『賃上げこそが成長戦略の要』という認識を持ち、物価上昇に負けない賃上げを早急に実現、定着させる」と述べました。 その上で、春闘では前の年の水準を上回る賃上げが実現しているとして、これを全国に波及させるため価格転嫁の推進や生産性の向上などの施策を総動員する考えを示しました。 さらに賃上げを後押しする取り組みをよりきめ細かく丁寧に進めたいとして、地方の企業や中小企業が抱える課題解決に向けて協力を求めました。 また、アメリカ・トランプ政権の関税措置をめぐっては「国内産業への影響を勘案し、企業の資金繰り支援など必要な対策に万全を期していく」と強調しました。 連合 芳野会長 “中小企業が賃上げできる環境づくりを” 連合の芳野会長は記者団に対し「春闘が佳境に入ってきているタイミングなので、中小・小規模事業者が賃上げできる環境づくりをメインに話をした。今回のアメリカの関税措置で中小企業は不安を抱えているので、政府にはしっかりとした対応をお願いした」と述べました。 また、今後の政労会見の開催については「政府と労働界のトップが労働者の処遇を中心に話し合えるのはとても有意義だ。石破総理から『こうした会議体をまた継続をしたい』ということばを頂いたので、引き続き政府に要請したい」と述べました。
