2．Response to COVID-19 from a Social Welfare Policy Perspective / 薬剤疫学

Novel coronavirus infection（COVID-19）is having a significant impact on diverse areas of society. We investigated the features of Japan's policies from the perspective of analogies used in social welfare policy and policy science. The results revealed that Japan's statistics do not represent reality； the government is unable to respond with world-class policies； the system is maintained through excessive workloads in the workplace； local governments adopt different directions to national policy； non-experts are confusing society； and other areas are affected due to the inability to implement concentrated investment and support. If we apply these findings to the current COVID-19 response, there are problems including statistical issues, an inability to respond with world-class policies, confusion of policy objectives and means of implementation, increased public opinion guidance that disregards human life, and the inability to adopt optimal measures due to a lack of resources, which worsened the situation and affected other areas. Therefore, it is presumed that insufficient care and compensation to individuals adversely affected by the social effects of COVID-19 would delay economic and social recovery. Accordingly, as a future response, we will present policies including establishment of a crisis management organization, accumulation of experience, and implementation of suitable statistical information to deal with infectious diseases that exceed a certain disaster level. We also recommend that preparations be implemented during normal times, rather than waiting until a crisis has occurred, and a system for finding and supporting people who have suffered due to these events should also be considered. All these issues can be resolved by politics. In other words, all of Japan's problems can be said to converge on the political arena； hence, it is predicted that the current society that excessively burdens its citizens will persist for a long time unless suitable policies are implemented through the political process.

Discussion on Theory of Tong Yang in Prevention and Treatment for Tumor with "Analogy" / 中国中医药信息杂志

"Analogy" is one of the core ideological tools of TCM theory, and the conclusion is made by comparing the phenomena of nature with the pathology of human body. Through the "analogy" method and combined with TCM theory "the Unity of Man and Nature" concept, this article explored tumor formation, development and related treatment.

Clinical application of "categorization by analogy" in acupuncture for pain syndromes / 中国针灸

The"categorization by analogy"is one of the most primitive thinking methods for ancient people to explore the world, which has exerted far-reaching impact on the origin and development of TCM. With examples of Sanjian (LI 3) for neck pain, Chize (LU 5) for low back pain and Chengshan (BL 57) for dysmenorrhea, the clinical application of"categorization by analogy"in acupuncture for pain syndromes was discussed, hoping more acupuncturists will pay attention to the guiding role of"categorization by analogy"in acupuncture clinical treatment.

The influence of learning style in understanding analogies and 2D animations in embryology course / 대한해부학회지

Undergraduate students struggle to comprehend embryology because of its dynamic nature. Studies have recommended using a combination of teaching methods to match the student's learning style. But there has been no study to describe the effect of such teaching strategy over the different types of learners. In the present study, an attempt has been made to teach embryology using the combination of analogies and simple 2D animations made with Microsoft powerpoint software. The objective of the study is to estimate the difference in academic improvement and perception scale between the different types of learners after introducing analogies and 2D animation in a lecture environment. Based on Visual, Aural, Read/Write, and Kinesthetic (VARK) scoring system the learners were grouped into unimodal and multimodal learners. There was significant improvement in post-test score among the unimodal (P < 0.001) and multimodal learners (P < 0.001). When the post-test score was compared between the two groups, the multimodal learners performed better the unimodal learners (P=0.018). But there was no difference in the perception of animations and analogies and long-term assessment between the groups. The multimodal learners performed better than unimodal learners in short term recollection, but in long term retention of knowledge the varied learning style didn't influence its outcome.

Application of the analogy in the connotation of reinforcing and reducing principle and method in traditional acupuncture / 中国针灸

Analogy is the significant thinking method in TCM and it has been recorded abundantly in ancient literature of TCM. The analogy idea had been adopted in the connotation of the reinforcing and reducing principle and method of traditional acupuncture, such as the reinforcing and reducing manipulation techniques, the timing of the reinforcing and reducing method and the effects of . In view of the analogy idea, the relevant reinforcing and reducing principles andmethods of traditional acupuncture were collated and analyzed in the article. It is anticipated that the origin and essence of reinforcing and reducing principles and methods can be better identified and this thinking characteristic of ancient acupuncture theory be widely understood and fully emphasized.

Application progress on chemical pattern recognition in quality control of Chinese materia medica / 中草药

Chemometrics is a new cross discipline based on computer and modern technology. It has been widely used in the research of Chinese materia medica (CMM) identification, qualitative characterization, quality control, and group-effect relationship, especially in quality control and evaluation of CMM. In this paper, the application and progress of chemical pattern recognition methods in chemometrics for quality control of CMM in recent years are reviewed. Two unsupervised pattern recognition methods (cluster analysis and principal component analysis) and four supervised pattern recognition methods (soft independent modeling of class analogy, partial least-squares discriminant analysis, support vector machine, and artificial neural network) are described. This paper reviews application of chemical pattern recognition in quality control of CMM from different aspects, including growing areas, herbal origin, processing, identification of the authenticity, etc.

Theory Exploration Nature of Chinese Herb: Based on Analogy Thinking / 中医杂志

By consulting ancient medical books on theory of nature of Chinese herb,the author makes confluence analysis on nature of Chinese herb based on analogy thinking guidance and finds that analogy thinking is widely used in theories of Chinese herb nature,including herb naming,four-nature & five-flavor,trend,channel tropism,toxicity,processing,etc.Herb naming based on analogy thinking includes naming by shape-properties,herb nature,flavor,function and growing environment.Four-nature & five-flavor includes determining by shape-properties,growth and substantial-function.Trend includes determining clear-turbidity-ascend-descend from Yin-yang,discussing ascenddescend from thin or thick flavor and determining the trend from shape-quality.Channel tropism includes channel tropism by shape,five-phase channel tropism theory and channel-collateral Zang-fu viscera tropism theory.Toxicity includes determining the toxicity from judging Yin-yang and four-nature,as well as explaining the toxicity from combining five-flavor.Processing includes processing consulting herb nature and flavor,as well as processing according to the nature of accessories.Based on three grades of image,sign and imagery,ancient physicians enrich the cognition of herb nature and form a dynamic Chinese herb nature system advocating the harmony between man and universe.

Hacia una epistemología evolutiva extendida: la retroalimentación entre variación y selección / Toward an Extended Evolutionary Epistemology: Feedback Between Variation and Selection

Este artículo se sitúa en la perspectiva de la naturalización del conocimiento científico, toda vez que es un intento por caracterizar y describir la evolución del conocimiento a partir de nociones de la biología. El objetivo principal es responder si es posible sostener la analogía que propone la epistemología evolutiva (EE): que la evolución del conocimiento científico (ECC) es similar a la evolución orgánica (EO). La pregunta surge tras las críticas que han atacado el núcleo de la analogía. La respuesta es que la analogía sí se sostiene si se tienen en cuenta las relaciones de retroalimentación, y que es posible proponer a la luz de la síntesis extendida (SE), una teoría posterior que complementa la síntesis moderna (SM). Así, este trabajo comienza con una descripción del estado de la "epistemología evolutiva", prosigue señalando por qué la síntesis moderna, que sirvió de base para su formulación, no es suficiente para fundamentar la epistemología evolutiva y finaliza proponiendo que es pertinente una modificación que puede describirse como "epistemología evolutiva extendida".

This paper is situated from naturalized epistemology perspective. It is an attempt to describe the evolution of knowledge using the theoretical structure of the evolution of species. The main objective of this work is to address whether is it possible to maintain the analogy in evolutionary epistemology and which aspects of the evolution of knowledge are similar to organic evolution? This question arises after some critics against the nucleus of its formulation. The analysis presented in this work suggests that the evolution of the knowledge can be understand through an framework analogous to that of the theory of organic evolution. For this, is necessary to take into account novel feedbacks relations between variation and selection, which are part of the Extended Synthesis theory. In such way, this paper begins with an introduction to evolutionary epistemology. After that, it shows why modern synthesis theory is not enough to maintain this kind of epistemology. It ended with the idea of an extended evolutionary epistemology.

“Metal Family”Analysis Based on Family Resemblance Theory / 世界科学技术-中医药现代化

This study was aimed to analyze the similarities of characteristics between members of“metal family” in the five elements. Wittgenstein’s family resemblance theory was used in the analysis of members assigned to the category of“metal family”, which included metal, autumn, west, white, pungent and lung. The results showed that there was family resemblance between members of“metal family”. It was concluded that members were classified into the category of“metal family” through analogical reasoning of family resemblance. Any member to be classified as a member of“metal family” showed similarity with at least one of other family members. Certain member in the“metal family” had similarities in different aspects with multiple members in the family. Any two members of“metal family” may not always have any similarities. It can be deduced that certain physiological functions of lung were not owned by the lung itself, but by the characteristics of“metal family”. The range of“metal family” can be expanded and multiplied. The“metal family” can build new members in different areas.

Analogías de figuras: Teoría y construcción de ítemes / Figural analogies: Theory and construction of items

Se describen las bases conceptuales y operacionales de los tests de resolución de problemas por analogía estableciendo énfasis en las analogías de figuras. Se expone brevemente la importancia del estudio de dicho constructo hipotético para el abordaje de la capacidad intelectual. Se citan lineamientos teóricos sobre el mismo y se describen las características y mecanismos cognitivos fundamentales implicados en la resolución de matrices de figuras. En cuanto a este último punto, se aborda la comprensión de las relaciones y correlatos entre relaciones figurales tomando el modelo de proporción A:B::C:D propio de la tradición psicométrica desde principios del Siglo XX. Se establecen además vínculos conceptuales con aportes de autores pertenecientes a la vertiente cognitiva de estudio del razonamiento analógico y con escuelas de la Psicología General. Se pretende brindar un marco ideal para la creación de matrices figurales de 2 x 2 que midan el constructo. Con el objetivo de evitar sesgos en la medición, se plantean seis sugerencias básicas puestas al servicio tanto de la confección de estos reactivos, como de su administración. Dichas sugerencias son las siguientes: (1) considerar el doble camino de resolución de la matriz, (2) desarrollar una estrategia unívoca de resolución, (3) tomar en cuenta n estrategias para generar nk ítemes, (4) crear ítemes a ser resueltos únicamente por la vía del razonamiento analógico, (5) consideraciones en cuanto a las opciones de respuesta y (6) consideraciones referidas a la administración.

This paper describes the conceptual and operational bases of analogical problem - solving tests, placing emphasis on figural analogies. The importance of the study of such a hypothetical construct to the understanding of intellectual capacity is briefly outlined. The significance of the construct in relation to mental development and individual maturation from childhood to adulthood is also explained in a concise way. Theoretical considerations about analogical reasoning are quoted and the fundamental characteristics and cognitive mechanisms involved in the resolution of figural matrix items are described. In this respect, the nature of relations and correlations between relations of figures is elucidated taking into account the A:B::C:D proportional model which has been researched by psychometrists since the beginning of the 20th Century. This model suggests the existence of two pairs of relations between elements, where element A is to element B as element C is to a missing element D (Figure 2). Items created on the basis of this structure usually contain given answers, only one of which is correct. On the other hand, linkages are established with contributions from experts defending the cognitive perspective of the study of analogical reasoning, and also with General Psychology schools like Gestalt and Gardner's theory of multiple intelligence. Finally, an ideal framework for the creation of 2 x 2 figural matrices that can measure analogical reasoning is intended to be provided. With the purpose of reducing item bias, six essential suggestions for the preparation and administration of items are offered. These suggestions are: (1) the constructor should consider the double resolution pathway of a proportional analogy (horizontal as well as vertical, i.e. A:B::C:D and A:C::B:D). In doing so, the probability of generating non-controlled rules of analogical relation to one of these pathways will be reduced. These accidental rules correspond to resolution logics different from those chosen by the designer, therefore affecting item manipulation and control. (2) Strongly related to the latter, given that each rule or combination of rules creates one different resolution strategy, each proportional analogy item should incorporate only one of these strategies to be applied horizontally as well as vertically. (3) Given that one or more rules may be used for the same item, a few rules are more than enough to prepare a large group of strategies and, therefore, a large item bank. Also, it is possible to take into account n strategies to produce nk items, being k the number of items apparently different from each other that nevertheless share the same resolution strategy. (4) Items that can be solved by applying ways of reasoning different from those of the proportional analogies should not be constructed. For instance, the designer should not allow superficial comparisons among some matching attributes of the item as a problem solving method, since this procedure does not require the consideration of the whole matrix structure (Gestalt's) which should serve as a basis for the analogical reasoning task. Therefore, pairing analogies should be rejected as they allow for this kind of resolution pathways (e.g. matching circle C with circle D2 in the 4th item of Figure 2, without taking into account the other matrix figures). (5) Alternative responses should contain one clearly correct answer to be discovered by using only analogical reasoning; wrong answers should not replace the correct one just because they are more appropriate considering alternative non-pretended ways of reasoning; all alternatives should share similarities and be distributed on a random basis. (6) The bias arising from administration conditions should be taken into account, including the possible verbal contamination during completion of this non-verbal test.

Language analogy teaching method by French and English comparison / 中华医学教育探索杂志

Our college has applied French-English analogy-educating method ( trilingual education )to the medicinal French bilingual-educating course by means of the interactions of different languages. As the kin relations between English and French in the axea of medicine, as well as their interactions from the origin to the modem medical applications, it can be an effective method to use analogy-educating method in the French study course in medicine, which means that the multi-lingual interactions can be used in the bilingual, even the multi-lingual educating activities of bilinguai educating process of other subjects.

The Methods of Western Medicine in On Ancient Medicine / 의사학

The treatise On Ancient Medicine attests that questions of method were being debated both in medicine and in philosophy and is important evidence of cross-discipline methodological controversy. The treatise On Ancient Medicine is the first attempt in the history of Greek thought to provide a detailed account of the development of a science from a starting point in observation and experience. The author of it criticizes philosophical physicians who attempt to systematized medicine by reducing it to the interaction of one or more of the opposites hot, cold, wet, and dry, factors. He regards the theory of his opponents as hypothesis(hypothesis). Medicine has long been in possession of both an arche and a hodos, a principle and a method, which have enabled it to make discoveries over a long period of time. As far as method is concerned, the traditional science of medicine attained the knowledge of the visible by starting from observation and experience, but it recommended the use of reasoning and analogies with familiar objects as a means of learning about the invisible. It also utilized inference from the visible to the visible(epilogismos) and inference from the visible to the invisible(analogismos). The use of analogy as a means of learning about the obscure was also part of thecommon heritage of early philosophy and medicine. But the author's use of the analogical method distinguishes it from Empedocles' well-known analogy comparisons of the eye to a lantern and the process of respiration to the operations of a clepsydra. According to the author, traditional science of medicine used functional analogy like wine example and cheese example to know the function of humors within the body and utilized structured analogy like a tube example and a cupping instrument example to acknowledge an organ or structure within the body. But the author didn't distinguish between the claim that medicine has a systematic method of making discoveries and very different claim that it has a systematic method of treatment. The reason for this is that he thought that discoveries are the end point of the method of investigation and the starting point of the procedures used in treatment.

A New Class Model Based on Partial Least Square Regression and Its Applications for Identifying Authenticity of Bezoar Samples / 分析化学

SIMCA(self independent modeling of class analogy) is a classical class modeling method for chemical) pattern recognition. Although widely used, SIMCA suffers difficulties in selecting a proper number of principal components and determining the decision region. A new class modeling technique based on partial least squares regression, partial least squares class model(PLSCM) is proposed, where the number of latent variables) and decision region can be readily estimated by the routine methods in multivariate calibration, e.g. Monte Carlo cross validation. PLSCM is successfully applied to identify trueborn bezoar samples from artificial and adulterated bezoar samples based on infrared spectra measured in the range of 4000-9000 cm~(-1). It is demonstrated that PLSCM outperforms SIMCA in terms of both maneuverability and identification accuracy. For the raw spectra, both the training and prediction accuracy of PLSCM are 100%. For the standard normal variate-processed data, the training and prediction accuracy of PLSCM is 99% and 100%, respectively.

Aquisição inicial do léxico verbal e aproximações semânticas em português / Early acquisition of the verbal lexicon and semantic approximations in Portuguese

O raciocínio analógico, que permite relacionar conceitos, possibilita a construção do sistema conceitual. Na fase inicial de aquisição do léxico, notadamente entre 2 e 4 anos de idade, observam-se produções lingüísticas decorrentes do raciocínio analógico, às vezes designadas metáforas. Segundo Duvignau (2002, 2003), tais emissões resultam da aproximação semântica por analogia, mecanismo que permite aproximar conceitos mais ou menos distantes do léxico disponível. O presente estudo dimensiona a importância das aproximações semânticas verbais para o desenvolvimento lexical inicial de crianças monolíngües da língua portuguesa e estuda o recurso aos itens genéricos versus específicos. Participaram deste estudo 80 crianças com idades entre 2 e 4 anos e 75 estudantes universitários monolíngües, que responderam à Tarefa de Nomeação e Reformulação de Ações. Os resultados permitiram concluir que a aproximação semântica por analogia é uma estratégia lingüística fundamental para o desenvolvimento do léxico e revela a flexibilidade cognitiva presente no desenvolvimento típico.

The analogical reasoning that allows relating concepts, permits the construction of the conceptual system. In the early phase of lexicon acquisition, mainly between 2 and 4 years of age, linguistic productions are observed resulting from the analogical reasoning, sometimes named metaphors. According to Duvignau (2002, 2003), these emissions result from the semantic approximation by analogy, a mechanism that allows approaching concepts more or less distant from the available lexicon. This study dimensions the importance of verbal semantic approximations for the early lexical development of monolingual children of the Portuguese language and studies the resource to generic versus specific items. Eighty monolingual children between 2 and 4 years old and 75 undergraduate students took part of this study, answering the Actions Naming and Reformulation Tasks. The results conclude that the semantic approximation by analogy is a fundamental linguistic strategy for lexicon development and reveals the cognitive flexibility which is present in typical development.

Freud, Jung e o Homem dos Lobos: percalços da psicanálise aplicada / Freud, Jung and the Wolfman: benefits of applied psychoanalysis

Pretende-se examinar o papel da analogia no pensamento freudiano, através de um período fértil e tumultuado do movimento psicanalítico, marcado pela intensificação das divergências entre Freud e seu dileto (Jung), e também pelo crescimento do movimento da psicanálise aplicada entre Freud e seus discípulos e pelo trabalho analítico daquele que é, talvez, o mais importante caso clínico escrito por Freud: o caso do Homem dos Lobos. Este período marca um imenso campo de debates clínicos e teóricos, entre os quais se inclui, sem dúvida, o problema da analogia na teoria e na clínica psicanalíticas.

This article intends to examine the role of analogy in the Freudian thought. With this in mind we will visit a very hectic and productive period in the psychoanalytical movement. This period was marked by the divergences between Freud and Jung, by the expansion of the applied psychoanalytical movement between Freud and his disciples, and by the analytical work of the Wolfman (which might be considered Freud's most important case). This period marks a huge field of clinical and theoretical debates, among which the problem of analogy in theory and in clinical psychoanalysis is undoubtedly included.

Protective effect of anisodaminum on light-induced rat retinopathy/ / 眼科

Acute intermittent visible fluorescent light was used as an experimental light source (18175?300lux, 1 hour dark: 1 hour light, 3 cycles). After light exposure, the myeloperoxidase activity (MDA) levels increased in rat retina, and the retinal structure and blood-retinal barrier were damaged. When 2 doses of anisodaminum (10 mg/Kg) were given 12 hours and just before light exposure, MDA levels lowered and the retinal structure was protected.
