【目的】日本語版-改訂Gait Efficacy Scale(mGES)の信頼性と妥当性を検証することを目的とした。【方法】地域在住高齢者240名を対象とした。そのうちの31名については,自記式による日本語版mGESの評価を2回実施した(評価間隔14〜20日間)。日本語版mGESの妥当性を検証するために,運動機能(chair-stand test,片脚立位時間,通常歩行速度,6分間歩行距離),生活空間,転倒恐怖感との関連を調べた。【結果】日本語版mGESは高い再検査信頼性を示し(級内相関係数[2,1]=0.945,95%信頼区間0.891〜0.973),すべての運動機能および生活空間と有意な相関関係を認めた。従属変数を転倒恐怖感の有無,独立変数を性別,各運動機能,生活空間,日本語版mGES得点としたロジスティック回帰分析の結果,転倒恐怖感と有意な関連を認めた項目は,性別(女性),通常歩行速度,日本語版mGES得点であった。【結論】高齢者における歩行状態の自信の程度を把握する指標として,日本語版mGESは良好な信頼性および妥当性を有する評価であることが確認された。

The 1,250-km-long, NNW-trending, arc-parallel Philippine fault, one of the world’s most active tectonic structures, traverses the Philippine archipelago and has been the source of surface-rupturing earthquakes during the last four centuries. In this paper, we will discuss Philippine fault distribution and segmentation in Mindanao Island by integrating detailed fault mapping together with new geological and paleoseismic data and the analysis of historical surface-rupturing earthquakes. Using geometric segmentation criteria, we have identified nine geometric segments separated by discontinuities such as en echelon steps, bends, changes in strike, gaps, steps and bifurcation in the surface trace. Fault segments ranges from 20 to 100 km in length and are capable of generating earthquakes of Mw6.6 to Mw7.4. The results of our study have important implications for earthquake generation potential and seismic hazard assessment of the Philippine fault in Mindanao Island.

雄のネッタイイエカがチオテパで処理され, 1日あたり15万匹から30万匹が5カ月半にわたってデリー近郊の村に放逐された。村の周囲3km幅の地域にあるネッタイイエカ幼虫の生息場所は殺虫剤で処理され, 実験期間中成虫の発生を抑えた。放逐蚊はすべて螢光色素でマークされた。マーク雄と非マーク雄の比はつねに24 : 1より大きかった。不妊雄の交尾競争力がわかっているので, 村内では不妊雄による交尾率が非常に高いことが期待された。野生の雌をつかまえてそれに産ませた卵をしらべた結果, 最初の3週間に野外集団に高いレベルの不妊性をもたらしたことが証明された。しかしその後は不妊性のレベルは低かった。3kmの幼虫生息場所皆無帯は, 周辺からのすでに受精した雌の侵入をはばむことができなかったことを示すいくつかの証拠がある。実験対象とした村の野生のネッタイイエカの密度と比較対照とした別の二つの村の密度を検討すると, 高い不妊性を示した期間は実験対象とした村のネッタイイエカ密度は一時的に減少したように思われる。

The autocorrelation of angle resolved photoemission data from the high temperature superconductor Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8+delta shows distinct peaks in momentum space which disperse with binding energy in the superconducting state, but not in the pseudogap phase. Although it is tempting to attribute a nondispersive behavior in momentum space to charge ordering, a deconstruction of the autocorrelation reveals that the nondispersive peaks arise from the tips of the Fermi arcs, which themselves do not change with binding energy.

カテコールアミンの前駆体であるL-チロシンの長期投与は慢性ストレスがもたらす行動を緩和することが知られているが、急性ストレス時にL-ならびにD-チロシンの効果を比較した報告はない。本研究では、急性ストレスに対するL-チロシンとD-チロシンの経口投与がマウスの行動に及ぼす影響と脳内の両チロシン濃度に及ぼす影響を調査した。オープンフィールドにおける行動量にL-ならびにD-チロシンの効果は認められなかった。経口投与35分後にL-チロシン投与により血漿L-チロシン濃度は急激に上昇したが、D-チロシンの投与では血漿D-チロシンの緩やかな上昇が観察された。興味深いことに、対照区の各脳部位(大脳皮質、海馬、線条体、視床、視床下部、脳幹ならびに小脳)において、D-チロシンの濃度はL-チロシンの1.8-2.5倍高かった。すべての脳部位において、L-チロシンの投与によりL-チロシン含量は増加したが、D-チロシンの投与でD-チロシン濃度の上昇は認められなかった。上記より、急性投与したL-チロシンとD-チロシンは行動量に影響しないが、L-チロシンとD-チロシンの脳内移行の様相は異なると結論づけられた。

Background: Metal exposures could possibly affect allergic responses in pregnant women, although no studies have yet shown a clear relationship between the two, and such exposures might also affect the development of allergic diseases in children.Methods: We investigated the relationship between metal concentrations in whole blood and immunoglobulin E (IgE; total and specific) in 14,408 pregnant women who participated in the Japan Environment and Children’s Study. The subjects submitted self-administered questionnaires, and blood samples were collected from them twice, specifically, during the first trimester and again during the second/third trimester. Concentrations of the metals Cd, Pb, Hg, Se, and Mn, as well as serum total and allergen-specific IgEs for egg white, house dust-mites (HDM), Japanese cedar pollen (JCP), animal dander, and moth, were measured. Allergen-specific IgE(s) were divided based on concentrations <0.35 or ≥0.35 UA/mL, and the metal levels were divided into quartiles.Results: Multivariable logistic regression analysis showed that there was a significant negative correlation between HDM- and animal dander-specific IgEs and Hg and Mn concentrations. Conversely, there was a significant positive relationship between JCP-specific IgE and Hg and Se concentrations.Conclusions: Metal exposures may be related to both increases and decreases in allergen-specific IgEs in pregnant women.

<p>Agassiz's desert tortoise (<i>Gopherus agassizii</i>) reaches the southern edge of its range in the Sonoran Desert of California. The reproductive ecology of this wide-ranging species is understudied here compared to populations in the adjacent Mojave Desert. Understanding potential geographic variation in reproductive ecology is important for effective management of conservation-reliant species like <i>G. agassizii</i>. We studied the fecundity and clutch phenology of female <i>G. agassizii</i> at two study sites in the Sonoran Desert region of Joshua Tree National Park over five years (1997–1999–2015–2016) spanning two of the strongest El Niño events on record and an epic drought. Across all years, mean clutch size was 4.3±1.5 eggs, mean clutch frequency was 1.78 clutches/female/year, and mean X-ray egg width was 36.51±1.56 mm, all of which are comparable to other published studies both in the Sonoran and Mojave deserts of California. Our results generally support earlier published findings that <i>G. agassizii</i> utilize a bet-hedging strategy of consistently producing small clutches almost every year, even during times of low annual primary productivity. A regionally warmer climate in the Sonoran Desert of California appears to have an effect on the timing of egg production, as the earliest dates of egg visibility in our study (April 6) were approximately two weeks earlier than the earliest dates reported for <i>G. agassizii</i> in the Mojave Desert. Shelled eggs were no longer visible in tortoises after mid-June in all years but the El Niño year 1998, when eggs were visible until mid-July.</p>

Four microalgal strains, NN-G, TB-G, CC-B, and SC-B isolated from green water of tilapia culture ponds in the Philippines were cultivated in 10ml of ESS liquid medium at 23℃ with a 12h light-12h dark cycle. The cell forms of NN-G and TB-G were green small round and green large oval, respectively, while both CC-B and SC-B had brown cubic or quadrangular cells. Predominant bacteria isolated from the four microalgal cultures were commonly restricted to Moraxella-Acinetobacter group, Pseudomonas and Flavobacterium. Strains NN-G and TB-G contained chlorophyll b, chlorophyll a, violaxanthin and zeaxanthin, while strains CC-B and SC-B possessed chlorophyll c, chlorophyll a, and fucoxanthin as major pigments. Phylogenetic analysis based on SSU rDNA sequences demonstrated that strains NN-G, TB-G, CC-B and SC-B have close taxonomic relationships with Chlorella spp., Tetraselmis spp., Chaetoceros spp., and Chaetocertos spp., respectively.

The purpose of this article was to introduce the case of the Aspen Institute Project Play and to consider a few current topics in Japanese youth sports. In 2013 this project was launched by the Aspen Institute Sports and Society Program in the U.S. Subsequently, it has produced multiple reports regarding issues surrounding youth sports in the U.S and has held annual summits to address these issues (2016, 2017). Additionally, it has succeeded in obtaining various stakeholders’ support (e.g. MLB, NBA, NBC Sports Network and NIKE) through implementation of its nationwide projects. The primary issues around childhood play/movement that Project Play has highlighted are the impact of childhood obesity and inactive lifestyles. To address these concerns, they developed eight strategies, including the “Sport for All, Play for Life Model”. This model aims to encourage all young people in the U.S to participate in competitive and/or recreational sports throughout their lives. In summary, the strengths of this project can be described as improving the cycle “research → strategy → evaluation” based on the above-referenced model. Furthermore, the vast network of stakeholders has enhanced the impact of its resources. Therefore, in the Japanese youth sports setting, it might be useful to consider the development of a similar model which encompasses both competitive and lifelong sports. Two key steps, as demonstrated by Project Play, are development of an effective network and utilizing the existing data related to youth sports in Japan.
