Background: Analyzing real-world data, including health insurance claims, may help provide insights into preventing and treating various diseases. We developed a database covering Shizuoka Prefecture (Shizuoka Kokuho Database [SKDB]) in Japan, which included individual-level linked data on health- and care-insurance claims and health checkup results.Methods: Anonymized claims data on health insurance (National Health Insurance [age <75 years] and Latter-Stage Elderly Medical Care System [age ≥75 years]), care insurance, subscriber lists, annual health checkups, and all dates of death were collected from 35 municipalities in Shizuoka Prefecture. To efficiently link claims and health checkups, unique individual IDs were assigned using a novel procedure.Results: From April 2012 to September 2018, the SKDB included 2,230,848 individuals (men, 1,019,687; 45.7%). The median age (min–max) of men and women was 60 (0–106) and 62 (0–111) years, respectively. During the study period, the median subscription time was 4.4 years; 40.8% of individuals continuously subscribed for the 6.5 years; 213,566 individuals died. Health checkup data were available for 654,035 individuals, amounting to 2,469,648 records. Care-service recipient data were available for 283,537 individuals; they used care insurance to pay for care costs.Conclusion: SKDB, a population-based longitudinal cohort, provides a comprehensive dataset covering health checkups, disorders, medication, and care service. This database may provide a robust platform to identify epidemiological problems and generate hypotheses for preventing and treating disorders in the elderly.

The aim of this study is to clarify what was Vaslav Nijinsky's intentions for his first choreographic work, L'Après-midi d'un Faune, through the analysis of his words on the work. Vaslav Nijinsky [1889? - 1950] is a Russian dancer and choreographer in the early 20th century, and he was a member of Sergei Diaghilev’s Ballets Russes. His Faune has some strong characteristics: two-dimensional symbolization, sexual representation, and angular forms and gestures. However, his choreographic intentions of the work has not been thoroughly researched. By further analyzing his words, it became clear that Nijinsky tried to harmonize the classical attitudes of the ancient bas-reliefs and the aesthetical movements of the Greek-Roman mythological characters in the Faune. Also, he was very interested in pure forms and gestures of ancient Greek sculptures, and he tried to incorporate them into his work. Considering his aesthetic interests and the contemporary art movements, it is concluded that he attempted to demonstrate purely plastic dancing body in the Faune by adopting angular forms and two-dimensional symbolization from the theory of the art of Cubism.

Background: Little is known about the role of economic recessions in the risk of cancer. Therefore, we evaluated the impact of the severe economic recession in Finland from 1991–1994 on the incidence of all cancers and cancer subtypes among a middle-age and older population.Methods: From the Kuopio Ischemic Heart Disease Risk Factor Study (KIHD), a population-based sample of 1,620 women and men aged 53–73 years were examined from 1998–2001. The cancer-free participants completed a questionnaire on the possible impact of the 1990s recession in Finland on their lives. Incident cases of cancer were obtained through record linkage with the Finnish Cancer Registry. Cox proportional hazards regression was used to estimate hazard ratios (HR) of incident cancer events after adjusting for possible confounders.Results: A total of 1,096 cancer-free participants had experienced socioeconomic hardships due to the recession at the baseline. During 20 years of follow-up, 473 participants developed cancer. After adjustment for age, baseline socioeconomic position, and lifestyle factors, the risk of all cancers was 32% higher among men who experienced socioeconomic hardships compared to those who did not (HR 1.32; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.00–1.74, P = 0.05). Prostate-genital cancer was 71% higher among men with hardships (n = 103, HR 1.71; 95% CI, 1.06–2.74, P = 0.02). No association was observed between socioeconomic hardships and subsequent risk of total or any subtype of cancer among women.Conclusion: The 1990s economic recession was associated with increased risk of all cancers, especially prostate-genital cancer among Finnish middle-age and older men, but no association with cancer was observed in women.

本年度は、人権の普遍性の議論を研究対象とした。人権の普遍性に関連する議論は複数あるが、そのうち本研究が扱うのは、普遍主義と文化相対主義の対立である。普遍主義は、人権の普遍性は人権それ自体に埋め込まれているものであり、その主たる理由は、人権の骨子である平等性から人権を持つ者は国・地域に拘らず同様の人権を持つことが導かれるため、というものである。その中核には、人間の尊厳、平等という概念が存在する。一方、文化相対主義は、国際文書に示された人権規則は、各国の歴史、宗教、文化および種族構造を考慮に入れた上で解釈・適用されなければならないとする。こうした対立は、人権の普遍主義が国際文書の形で登場したときから現実に看守できる。国際文書における人権の普遍性に関連する文書として挙げられるのが、1993年のウィーン宣言である。同宣言は人権の普遍性および不可分性を謳うものであり、多くの国に支持を受けて採択された。一方、この前後にバンコク宣言およびクアラルンプール人権宣言がそれぞれ採択され、アジアの基本的な人権観がまとめられた。人権の普遍性との関連でいえば、ここでは、人権は国家的及び地域的特殊性と、様々な歴史的、文化的、宗教的背景に留意しなければならない旨が述べられている。このように対立しているように見えるが、理論的にはこの対立は解消されている。すなわち、人権の普遍性はCONCEPTの段階では認められるが、CONCEPTIONおよびIMPLEMENTATIONの段階では相対性が認められるということである。CONCEPTの段階で普遍性を保つのは、機能的要請から、つまり脆弱な個人を組織的な社会の脅威から保護するために必要であるからであり、また現実に多くの国が人権という概念の存在を認めているからである。さらに、現実に内容が普遍的な人権もあると主張される。このように、両者が歩み寄る形での理論が優勢である。

Borecole (curly kale) was cultivated without heating during autumn and winter in a multi-film-covered greenhouse in Hokkaido, Japan. Borecole survived even when the greenhouse air temperature dropped to −6.2°C with an accompanying drastic increase in Brix value. This rapid increase of Brix value was observed under conditions where the minimum air temperature in the greenhouse was less than 0°C. Cold temperatures caused the plant to freeze, inducing extracellular freezing. Although the Brix value increased at low temperatures irrespective of leaf order, the Brix values for leaves of lower order, at the top of the plant, were much larger than the higher order leaves, closer to the base of the plant. Leaf Brix values started to increase when the average minimum temperature was 1.3°C or less for 10 days before harvest. Moreover, the nitrate concentration, reported to correlate with bitterness intensity, decreased at low temperatures. These results revealed that leaves with reduced bitterness and improved sweetness can be produced in low temperatures from the upper portions of borecole plants.

Young coconut shell cracking is a significant problem reported during trimming and polishing. By studying the shell structure, fruit development, pressure inside the shell (internal pressure) of young fruits, dissolved carbon dioxide in the coconut water and cracking incidence, as well as postharvest treatments to manipulate the pressure and carbon dioxide concentration, it was revealed that cracking depended on the physical property of the shell and the internal pressure. Cracking was principally found on the large carpel where the shell was the thinnest. The growing area presenting a high cracking incidence was found to have fruits with a thinner shell than fruits from a nearby area. The younger fruits had a weaker, thinner shell and high internal pressure. Once the fruits were 28 weeks old, the internal pressure dropped to slightly above atmospheric pressure. The level of internal pressure did not depend on rainfall or growing area. However, postharvest heating, dipping in water and exposure to carbon dioxide increased the internal pressure. To reduce shell cracking incidence, it is recommended to delay harvesting to allow shell strengthening, delay the trimming and polishing processes to allow water loss from the fruit and reduce the internal pressure. Dipping fruit in an anti-browning solution should also be brief to avoid water absorption.

Winged bean seeds require imbibition treatment to ensure fast and uniform germination. Seed soaking has been commonly used; however, it is unclear if this is a safe method for winged bean seeds. Solid matrix priming (SMP) is an imbibition treatment that combines seeds, a matrix and water in a specific ratio. It allows seeds to imbibe under controlled water uptake. We investigated the effect of imbibition treatments on seed germination of white winged bean. Soaked seeds had significantly reduced germination and emergence as a result of imbibition injury due to rapid imbibition. SMP at a seed: vermiculite: water ratio of 7:12:9 (w/w/w) was the most effective treatment that allowed seeds to imbibe slowly without the occurrence of imbibition injury. SMP significantly reduced the mean germination time from 4.63 days to 2.01 days, and mean emergence time from 7.21 days to 5.78 days, compared to the control, as well as having a high germination rate of 98% and uniform emergence. The fast imbibition rate of white winged bean seeds was likely the result of cracks present on the permeable seed coat.

We examined 26 cases with suspected tumor mass with ultrasonography between 1998 to 2000. Seventeen cases were diagnosed. Diagnosis was 8 ganglion, 3 lipoma, 3 atheroma, 3 Baker's cysts, and 1 malignant fibrous histiocytoma. Ultrasonography is readily available, inexpensive, and noninvasive. Generally ultrasonography assists in determining the size and consistency of a soft tissue mass. It is apparently useful for the diagnosis of the lipoma, atheroma, and ganglion.

This paper revisits the concepts of intelligence, language, and language education by considering “cyborg,” “language games,” and “plurilingualism,” and discusses the use of machine translation in English education. The use of artificial intelligence (AI) does not negate human intelligence because human intelligence inherently involves the use of media and tools; humans may be described as “natural-born cyborgs.” An analysis of language into the specific activity of language games reveals that the usefulness of machine translation depends on particular language games. English-language education from a monolingual perspective discourages the use of machine translation because it involves learners’ native language (Japanese). However, educators must realize the diversity of the use and learning of English, ranging from a transient and spontaneous conversation to extended and reflective writing. Language education from a plurilingualism perspective encourages foreign-language learners to use all of their linguistic resources (including their native language skills) in various language games. A discussion on the introduction of machine translation into English education should be specific on a case-by-case basis, not categorical on an either-or basis.

Backgrounds: The fatty liver index (FLI) is a good non-invasive approach for fatty liver disease diagnosis. The objective of this study was to examine the associations of nutrient patterns with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) in a Japanese population.Methods: A total of 1,588 subjects (789 men and 799 women) aged 35–69 years were recruited in the baseline survey of the Japan Multi-Institutional Collaborative Cohort (J-MICC) Study in Tokushima Prefecture. Factor analysis was applied to energy-adjusted intake of 21 nutrients, and nutrient patterns were extracted. Multiple logistic regression analysis was used to analyze the relationships between nutrient patterns and the high FLI category (≥60).Results: Four nutrient patterns were extracted: Factor 1, vitamins, dietary fiber, iron and potassium pattern; Factor 2, fats and fat-soluble vitamins pattern; Factor 3, saturated fat, calcium, vitamin B2 and low carbohydrate pattern; and Factor 4, sodium, protein and vitamin D pattern. After adjustment for sex, age, and other potential confounding variables, higher Factor 1 scores were significantly associated with lower odds ratios of NAFLD (P for trend <0.05). Analysis of each component of FLI showed that there were significant inverse associations between Factor 1 scores and high body mass index and large waist circumference.Conclusion: The present findings suggest that a nutrient pattern rich in vitamins, fiber, iron, and potassium was associated with lower prevalence of NAFLD in a Japanese population. Obesity and abdominal obesity may be intermediate variables for the association between this nutrient pattern and NAFLD.
