Having a self-body recognition for avatars with human augmentation is important to improve the user experience. In this study, we examine the self-body recognition for a four-armed avatar operated by two people. The arm directly operated by the subject is called the main arm, and the arm operated by another subject (the experimenter) is called the subarm. Questionnaires and instantaneous heart rate were used as indices of self-body recognition. The heart rate results showed that the subject’s self-body recognition for the subarm emerged when the subarm moved to meet the subject’s goal. This suggests that it is important for the extended body part of a human augmentation avatar to move in the manner that shares the intention with the subject during operation to recognize the avatar’s body as their own.

Hiroshima is one city in Japan with a high level of sport spectatorship. When cities with sport-related resources recognize the importance of building place attachment among local residents through sport teams as a community bonding resource, activities to attract more event attendees or local residents using their professional sport teams activities can be encouraged. In addition, psychologically, local residents develop a strong bond with local sport teams based on their accumulated experiences. Generally speaking, some findings confirm that team image is a critical factor leading to place attachment. However, studies that verify these findings are lacking. This study was conducted in two major professional sport settings:professional baseball and professional basketball. First, data was collected from spectators attending a home game of the professional basketball team, the Hiroshima Dragonflies. From the 330 questionnaires distributed, 292 usable questionnaires were collected, data for 248 respondents excluding 44 out-of-prefecture residents were used. For the baseball sample, data was collected from spectators attending a professional baseball game at Mazda Zoom-Zoom Stadium. Questionnaires were distributed to individuals in the stadium at the end of the game. From the 1,000 questionnaires distributed, 241 usable questionnaires were collected, data for 188 respondents excluding 53 out-of-prefecture residents were used. Findings revealed that both teams showed place attachment affects the quality of team image. For the Dragonflies, high and low team identification were shown to affect place attachment. For the Carp, the interactions between team image and team identification significantly affected place attachment, with lower team identification increasing place attachment more than a positive team image. The results suggest that improving team image may increase place attachment among spectators with low team identification. From the standpoint of a regional sports team that claims to be community-based, there is a need for two-way direct and indirect exchanges that deepen ties through social contribution activities and other initiatives to connect with the community, as well as proactive acceptance of support and assistance activities from local residents. In conclusion, (1) team image is related to place attachment, and (2) team identification may play a role as a moderating variable for enhancing place attachment due to unique team attributes.JEL Classifications:L83, Z29, M31, R11, D91

Central poststroke pain is a chronic, intractable, central neuropathic pain. Spinal cord stimulation is a neuromodulation therapy for chronic neuropathic pain. The conventional stimulation method induces a sense of paresthesia. Fast-acting subperception therapy is one of the latest new stimulation methods without paresthesia. A case of achieving pain relief of central poststroke pain affecting both the arm and leg on one side by double-independent dual-lead spinal cord stimulation using fast-acting subperception therapy stimulation is presented. A 67-year-old woman had central poststroke pain due to a right thalamic hemorrhage. The numerical rating scale scores of the left arm and leg were 6 and 7, respectively. Using dual-lead stimulation at the Th 9-11 levels, a spinal cord stimulation trial was performed. Fast-acting subperception therapy stimulation achieved pain reduction in the left leg from 7 to 3. Therefore, a pulse generator was implanted, and the pain relief continued for 6 months. Then, two additional leads were implanted at the C 3-5 levels, and pain in the arm decreased from 6 to 4. Independent setting and adjustments of the dual-lead stimulation were required because the thresholds of paresthesia perception were significantly different. To achieve pain relief in both the arm and leg, double-independent dual-lead stimulation placed at cervical and thoracic levels is an effective treatment. Fast-acting subperception therapy stimulation may be effective for central poststroke pain, especially in cases where the paresthesia is perceived as uncomfortable or the conventional stimulation itself is ineffective.

In recent years, sensing technology has been attracting attention in various industrial fields, and the demand for state detection technology of rolling bearings is increasing. An acoustic emission (AE) technique is effective means for state detection of rolling bearings, because it is more sensitive than the conventional technique. In this study, the AE signals generated from tapered roller bearings when seizure occurred due to starved lubrication were investigated. The AE signal changes during the process of reducing lubricating oil were analyzed. The AE frequency spectra were mainly in the frequency range around 0.1 to 0.4 MHz, and the signal strength was increasing during the process of reducing lubricating oil. Before seizure occurred, the AE signal strength in the high frequency around 1.2 MHz was increasing. In addition, surface changes of the tapered roller bearing due to seizure were observed. Based on these results, it became clear that the direct contact of the metal surface corresponds to the AE frequency peak around 0.1 to 0.4 MHz, and the progress of adhesion corresponds to the shift of the centroid frequency to the high frequency side.

Background: There is an argument for the benefit of the helmet wearing at the time on a bicycle ride. We discuss the usefulness for head injury in traffic accident.Methods: We reviewed 13 cases, admitted to PICU in our hospital from April 2011 to April 2015, by traffic accident on a bicycle ride. We compared sex, age, conscious level and imaging findings between the cases with (A group) and without bicycle helmet (B group).Results: There was no significant difference in two groups about sex, age, and conscious level. However, more cases exist in B group as for skull fracture, brain contusion, and subcutaneous hematoma. On the other hand, A group had more cases suffered from the diffuse axon injury and subarachnoid hemorrhage.Conclusion: Helmet is effective to the direct injury of head, but might be little effective to the rotational injury.

Background: To determine the prognosis of patients with giant coronary aneurysms (GA) caused by Kawasaki disease (KD) treated with combined oral warfarin and aspirin. Methods and Results: A multicenter follow-up study of 83 patients (65 males, 18 females) with GA who had been treated for ≥3 months with warfarin. Most patients were placed on the combination therapy as soon as the GA was detected and remained on it for 6.0 ±5.3 years, giving a total of 482 patient-years. Target international normalized ratio of prothrombin time ranged from 1.5 to ≥2.5. During this observational period, 5 patients suffered from 8 episodes of acute myocardial infarction and 1 died. Coronary thrombus formation enforced 6 courses of intracoronary thrombolysis in 3 patients (1-4 times). Consequently, freedom of cardiac events was 92.5% at 1 year and 91% at 10 years and the linearized cardiac event rate was 2.9% patient-year. Hemorrhagic complications occurred on 8 occasions (1 subdural hematoma) in 5 patients, giving 1.7% patient-year. Conclusions: The combination of warfarin and aspirin has an acceptably high cardiac-event-free survival in patients with GA caused by KD, though it has a certain risk of hemorrhagic complications.

The wedding cake has a cultural background dating back to ancient Rome from where it is assumed to have originated. It has been influenced by the religious and social aspects of Western food Culture. The purpose of this paper is to investigate the visual meaning of the royal family’s wedding cakes in the days of Queen Victoria. The appearance of the royal wedding cakes in the Victorian period had four implications.The first was spectacle. People were astonished by the cake’s unprecedented enormousness and they realized the extent of Britain’s wealth and power. Second, the cakes were a means of ascertaining the names and nationalities of the bridal couple. Third, these cakes were decorated with ancient mythological symbols, and it was considered prestigious to be able to understand them. This is an example of the popularity of neoclassicism in Europe. Last, the cakes symbolized the purity of the bride based on Christian doctrines. The royal family’s wedding cakes had a greatly influenced Britain and other countries through newspapers and other mass media.
