Objectives: Work ability is a crucial occupational health issue in health care settings where a high physical and psychosocial work capacity is required and a high risk of disabling injuries and illnesses is predictable. This study aims to examine the association between the work ability index (WAI) and individual characterizations, workload, fatigue, and diseases among intensive care units' (ICUs') nurses. Methods: The study sample included 214 nurses selected by a random sampling method from a target population consisting of 321 registered nurses working in eight ICUs. Multiple linear regression analysis was used to test the association between WAI scores and each of the independent variables. Results: Results of multivariate analysis revealed a strong and negative association between WAI scores and diseases (B=-5.82, 95% CI=-7.16, -4.48, P<0.001). Among the studied individual characterizations, body mass index (BMI) was significantly and inversely associated with WAI scores. A significant and negative association was also found between WAI scores and dimensions of MFI-20, such as general fatigue (B=-0.31, 95% CI=-0.53, -0.09, P=0.005) and physical fatigue (B=-0.44, 95% CI=-0.65, -0.23, P<0.001). From dimensions of workload, frustration (B=-0.04, 95% CI=-0.07, -0.02, P<0.001) and temporary demand (B=-0.04, 95% CI=-0.08, -0.0001, P=0.04) showed a negative and significant association with WAI scores, while performance showed a positive and significant association (B=0.04, 95% CI=0.01, 0.07, P=0.005). Conclusions: Based on the study findings, development of health care programs with the aim of setting up a healthy work environment characterized by a well-structured preventive attitude toward controlling diseases, and a well-designed organizational framework toward increasing the level of performance and motivation, reducing the level of fatigue, as well as reducing the workload, is necessary to promote work ability among ICUs' nurses.

Objectives: This study aims to determine (1) total dialkylphosphate (ΣDAP) levels, occupational knowledge and practice, DNA damage, AChE activity, and health symptoms in rice, corn, and double-crop farmers; (2) the association of health symptoms with ΣDAP levels, occupational knowledge and practice, DNA damage, and AChE activity in farmers; and (3) the prevalence of health symptoms between farmers and non-farmers. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted by interviewing as well as analyzing urine and blood samples during July to August 2014. Results: There were no differences in ΣDAP levels, AChE activity, and occupational knowledge and practice scores among all farmer groups. In terms of health symptoms related to ΣDAP, AChE activity, DNA damage, and occupational knowledge and practice, pesticide-related symptoms were determined, including breathlessness, chest pain, dry throat, numbness, muscle weakness, cramp, headache, dizziness, eye irritation, white/red rash, and white/red pimple, which were classified as respiratory, muscle, nervous, and epithelial symptoms. A remarkable finding was that farmers had a significantly higher prevalence of muscle weakness (odds ratio (OR)=3.79) and numbness (OR=3.45) as compared with non-farmers. Conclusion: Our findings, therefore, suggest that a long-term low-level exposure to organophosphates (OPs) may be associated with an increasing prevalence of muscle symptoms. However, a further cohort study incorporating sensitive health outcomes and measurement of multiple pesticides monitoring on a larger scale is warranted.

In Japan, child abuse problem is considered as one of the most serious childrenrelated social problems.In this study, I aim to highlight government’s measures against the problem andconsider the possibility for Japanese civil society to contribute to its resolution.The research field is fixed at Osaka. Both states run organizations and civil societyorganizations specialized in care and prevention of child abuse are visited andinvestigated. Interview to ex-civil officer also is realized.Both in states run organizations and those of civil society, there is serious shortagein manpower, due to lack of running budget. The civil society activists are intenselyengaged to run after the children needs and very few of them try to advocategovernment policy for child abuse.Japanese civil society should take more political power in order to improvegovernment policy on the problem of child abuse.

Effects of pre-germinated brown rice (PGBR) on postprandial blood glucose and insulin concentrations were compared with brown rice (BR) and white rice (WR) in two studies. In the first study, we investigated the time course of postprandial blood glucose and insulin concentrations after ingesting 25% (W/V) glucose solution, PGBR, BR or WR in 19 healthy young subjects. In the second study, dose-dependent effect of PGBR on the time course of postprandial blood glucose concentrations was compared among 4 different mixtures of PGBR and WR in 13 healthy young subjects. They were solely PGBR, 2/3 PGBR (PGBR: WR=2: 1), 1/3 PGBR (PGBR: WR=1: 2) and solely WR. Each sample was studied on a different day. The samples were selected randomly by the subjects. All the rice samples contained 50g of available carbohydrates. The previous day the subjects ate the assigned dinner by 9:00 pm and then were allowed only water until the examination. The next morning, they ingested each test rice sample with 150ml of water in 5-10 min. Blood was collected into capillary tubes from finger at 0, 30, 60, 90 and 120 min after the ingestion. The incremental areas under the curve (IAUC) of blood glucose concentrations (IAUC-Glc) for 120 min after the administration of PGBR and BR were lower than those after WR. In contrast the IAUC-Glc of BR and PGBR were not different (Study 1). The higher the ratio of PGBR/WR, the lower the glycemic index became (Study 2). These results suggest that intake of PGBR instead of WR is effective for the control of postprandial blood glucose concentration without increasing the insulin secretion. J. Med.

From the Meiji to the Taisho period, a nudity controversy surfaced several times. Hakuba-kai, which was led by Seiki Kuroda, considered the nude the basis of Western art, but the Japanese did not have sufficient knowledge of western art to understand. This lack of knowledge caused the dispute. Subsequently, authorities regulated nudity in exhibitions and publications for a long period of time. Regulation of nudity has already beenstudied, but we need to investigate the kind of nudity regulated and the regulations that influenced painters and their activities. This paper investigates the Hakuba-kai Exhibition, Ministry of Education Art Exhibition (Bunten Exhibition), and Nika Art Exhibition from the viewpoint of regulation, focusing on the transition of the depiction of the nude woman from the Meiji to the Taisho period. Before the Meiji period, women and men wore clothing that allowed them to accomplish their work. Their ideas about covering the body were not hindered by western morality-based conventions. However, by imitating western culture to enforce "Ishiki kaii jyourei, the ordinance designed to emulate foreigners'propriety," the thought planted in the Japanese mind was that nudity was obscene. Thereafter, authorities regulated publications with nude images. Kuroda's Le Lever, which was exhibited at the 4th Domestic Industrial Exposition, served as a challenge to authority and generated the nudity controversy in newspapers. Afterward, police required that Kuroda's "Nude," which was exhibited at the 6th Hakuba-kai Exhibition in 1901, be covered with a cloth below the waist. That is, this is the "koshimaki (waistcloth) incident." The incident was the outcome of the Security Police law implemented in 1900 and led the painters of Hakuba-kai to draw nude women with waist coverings. Police and the Ministry of Education continued to regulate nudes in art after the Bunten Exhibition. The Ministry of Education told painters that they must eliminate nude images from their works, and this caused a situation in which many nude drawings were disqualified from winning awards. The Minister of Education ultimately declared that police must not invade the winning work of the Bunten Exhibition in 1917. Partially clothed woman continued to be exhibited in the art at the Bunten Exhibition, and for a short time painters drew an idealized nude. They gradually began to draw frontal nudes and increasingly created work that made the nudes in their art unrealistic. This phenomenon was common at the Nika Exhibition. Following Cubism and Fauvism, the Nika Exhibition included drawings of nude women. The characteristics of the nude images of art in the Nika Exhibition were women reclining on a bed, posing with their arms or legs held up to exaggerate their physical features, and showing nude women indoors. The authorities initially regulated art with nude woman lying in bed drawn by Sotaro Yasui. After the 5th Nika Exhibition, they stopped controlling nudity. Painters no longer presented the female form realistically. They exaggerated. The nude images drawn from the Meiji to the Taisho periods were influenced by both the regulations and because of the regulations, the numbers of works exhibited were almost influenced. Then regulation standards gradually changed from the viewpoint of bodily exposure to the viewpoint of depicting the body in realistic situations such as a nude woman reclining in bed. Considering this history, painters had to be conscious of regulations restricting the depiction of nude women, which was historically part of the depiction of women. The important issue is that these artists tried to express their ideas even though they were conscious of the regulations.
