More than half of Japanese children spend at least one hour every day playing video games.

That's according to a 2022 survey by Japanese internet company Nifty Corporation.

Twenty-four percent of kids said they play for between one and two hours a day. Thirteen percent said they play for between two and three hours, and 17% reported playing three hours or more.

Only 9% said they do not play at all.

More than 2,300 elementary and junior high school children took part in the survey, which was done in September and October of 2022.

Almost 80% said they usually play video games alone. When they do play with others, they more often play with people online than with someone else in the room.

Parents in Japan have spoken of their concerns about the amount of time their children spend playing video games. In 2020, Kagawa prefecture said people under 20 should limit their time spent playing video games to one hour per day during the week and 90 minutes on weekends.

The Nifty survey also asked children about rules in their homes for playing video games.

Fifty-three percent said they have time limits for playing, with 44% saying they can only play after they have finished their other tasks.

One in five of the children surveyed said they are not allowed to play with strangers online, and more than half are not allowed to spend money when playing online games.

Effective English Learning Techniques Part I

En los libros Historia general de las cosas de Nueva España e Historia Natural de la Nueva España ya se tenían documentadas plantas y su uso medicinal, como la siempreviva usada para tratar cataratas y la flor de manita como auxiliar en problemas del corazón.

En el siglo XVI se escribió el Códice De la Cruz-Badiano y en el siglo XVII libros de medicina que hablan sobre plantas muy usadas en la actualidad, como la manzanilla y la yerbabuena. En el siglo XVIII se dictó La primera cátedra de botánica en México, con la cual se educó a los primeros estudiantes de lo que antiguamente era la Facultad de Medicina.

A final del siglo XIX se creó el Instituto Médico Nacional y, con él, el estudio científico de las plantas medicinales. En el siglo XX surgió el Instituto Mexicano para el Estudio de las Plantas Medicinales, y la etnobotánica médica que trajo consigo la formación del primer herbario de flora medicinal del país con más de 4 mil especies. Esto sirvió para tener validación científica de los usos populares de las plantas y, como resultado, productos con sus compuestos.

Existen plantas que no son inocuas: El codo de fraile, por ejemplo, es muy dañina y se utiliza mucho en productos para adelgazar.

Es importante que los médicos familiares tengan formación sobre herbolaria para conocer qué es lo que utiliza parte de la población; por ello, es valioso participar de cursos monográficos sobre medicina tradicional y herbolaria.  Así, médicos y gente de las comunidades hicieron mini-herbarios para conocer sobre estas plantas y sus compuestos, cuáles son peligrosas y cuáles son benignas.

                  秋天
天气凉了，树叶黄了。
一片片叶子从树上落下来。 
天空那么蓝，那么高。
一群大雁往南飞，一会儿排成个“人”字，一会儿排成个“一”字。
啊！秋天来了！
