Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) has rapidly spread and caused epidemics in many countries. During these epidemics, the Japanese government contributed to SARS control by dispatching medical teams. In the present article, the author reviews and discusses the process of control of the SARS outbreak based on experiences in activities to support SARS control in Vietnam and China.Vietnam succeeded in the effective control of SARS for the first time in the world. This was accomplished by complete isolation of patients and implementation of nosocomial infection control from an early stage of epidemic, etc. In China, due to inadequate response in the early stage, nosocomial infection occurred frequently and the disease quickly spread. However, later, effective actions were taken under the strong direction of the government, and the disease was finally put under control. The Japan Medical Team for Disaster Relief dispatched by the government of Japan to Hanoi, Vietnam and Beijing, China offered cooperative activities for the prevention of nosocomial infection and respiratory management. In addition, the Medical Aid Team sent to Guangdong Province in China provided guidance to the local Japanese residents to prevent the infection of SARS and to alleviate anxiety about the disease. In the control of SARS, it is essential to take adequate actions from an early stage in the development of the disease. For this purpose, rather than starting measures for the control of nosocomial infection after the eruption of the disease, it is important to train medical staff on a routine basis, to establish a nosocomial infection control system, and to consolidate basic preventive practices.

妥当性とは曖昧な構成概念を扱う心理学にとって, もっとも重要な概念の1つである。妥当性というと「基準連関妥当性」「構成概念妥当性」「内容的妥当性」という3つのタイプがあると一般に説明されることが多い(妥当性の三位一体観)。しかし, 1980年代以降の妥当性研究では, こうした妥当性のタイプ分けは適切ではなく, 「構成概念妥当性」という考え方にすべての妥当性は収斂するという考え方が主流である(単一的な妥当性概念)。本稿の前半では, こうした妥当性概念の歴史的変遷について, 思想的な背景や近年の議論などを踏まえた解説を行った。本稿の後半では, 妥当性に関するより実践的なトピックを取り上げ, 心理測定学的な観点から議論を行った。具体的には, 1. 「内容の幅の広い項目群を用いた尺度作成」というアイディアと伝統的な心理測定学的モデルの矛盾, 2. 「個人間相関」と「個人内相関」を区別することの重要性とその関係, そして3. 心理学における「尺度の不定性」が結果の解釈などに与える影響などについて議論を行った。

低濃度二酸化塩素(ClO2)のウイルス不活化能を種々の湿度条件で検証した.ClO2は高湿度で不安定で,市販のゲルタイプ製剤では閉鎖空間で一定低濃度維持できない.そこで高湿度で低濃度ClO2環境を一定時間維持できる乾式法製剤を用いて実験した.一定室温下で低,中,高の三つの湿度条件下,生活空間でヒトが耐えうる濃度限界とされる20-30 ppbのClO2の,空中浮遊インフルエンザウイルス不活化能を調べた.各湿度,ガス濃度の閉鎖空間でウイルスを空中に放出し,一定時間ガス曝露後,一定量の空気を回収し含まれる活性ウイルス量を調べた.その結果,相対湿度30%環境では,曝露20分後の回収ウイルス量は,対照のガス非存在下と統計学的な有意差はなかった.湿度50,70%では,対照でも回収ウイルス量が放出量の約10%と2%程度まで低下した一方,ガス存在下ではそれぞれ0.3%と0.03%まで低下し,低下は統計学的に有意であった.以上,湿度50-70%環境下であれば,20-30 ppb程度の低濃度ClO2にも抗ウイルス効果はあった.だがそれは,感染管理の視点からは,患者から空間に放出され一定時間経過後残存する活性ウイルスの絶対数から見れば,湿度自体による大幅な感染リスクの減弱にやや上乗せされる程度の効果でしかない.一方湿度30%では,この程度の濃度では感染リスクの低下はほとんど望めないことが,明らかになった.

The effect of tannic acid on the corrosion of mild steel in boiler systems was investigated by physicochemical methods using an autoclave and a test boiler. Tannic acid was found to be a good oxygen scavenger at pH 11 as well as hydrazine and sodium sulphite. Tannic acid inhibited corrosion of steel (i) at room temperature and atmospheric pressure and (ii) at high temperature and pressure. The maximum inhibition efficiency was about 97%. The inhibiting behavior of tannic acid at pH 7 was different from that at pH 11. At pH 7, tannic acid acted as an adsorption-type inhibitor and suppressed catholic reaction of corrosion of steel. At pH 11, tannic acid inhibited corrosion of steel not only as an effective oxygen scavenger but also an effective Schikorr reaction promoter (formation of Fe3O4). Tannic acid is believed to be an effective inhibitor in boiler systems.

Mushrooms are known to accumulate radiocesium. To estimate the intake of radiocesium through the eating of mushrooms, about 30 samples belonging to 4 commonly consumed species (Lentinula edodes, Hypsizigus marmoreus, Grifola frondosa, and Tricholoma matsutake), were analyzed for 137Cs and 40K. The concentration ranges were 0.060-29 Bq kg-1 (wet wt) for 137Cs and 38-300 Bq kg-1 (wet wt) for 40K. The geometric mean concentration for 137Cs was 0.56 Bq kg-1 (wet wt), and the mean concentration for 40K was 92 Bq kg-1 (wet wt). The 137Cs concentrations in L. edodes cultivated in mushroom beds (sawdust-rice bran media) were lower than those cultivated on bed logs (natural wood with bark). The annual intake of 137Cs per person through mushrooms was calculated, by using the current analytical results and food consumption data in Japan, to be 3.1 Bq for 137Cs, which is about 28% of the total dietary intake of this nuclide. The effective dose equivalent of 137Cs through mushrooms was estimated to be 4.0 ¤ 10-8 Sv, which is about the half the value obtained in our previous study. The decrease of the 137Cs intake through mushrooms is probably related to changes in cultivation methods in recent years, from the use of bed logs to mushroom beds.

This study reports an effective and simple method for culturing the comb jellyfish, Beroe cucumis. The method for breeding another comb jelly, Bolinopsis mikado, was published by Ikeda et al. (2022), in which Bolinopsis mikado was bred stably and in large numbers, and then provided as food to developing Beroe cucumis. Fertilized eggs were found in a 235-L tank two days after five parental Beroe cucumis were housed in the tank, and the parental individuals were isolated from the tank the next day. The day after the eggs were found, Beroe cucumis larvae (0.54 ± 0.04 mm long (n = 9)) were observed in the tank daily and were fed Bolinopsis mikado. The Beroe cucumis larvae were only fed Bolinopsis mikado during the early stages of development. They reached a total length of approximately 10 mm in 17 days, and by day 20, when most had grown large (approximately 12 mm and over) enough to not pass through the 3-mm perforated plates, they were moved to a 145-L display tank. Thereafter, they were reared in the same manner and were successfully propagated cumulatively for more than five generations. The greatest advantage of this culture method is that the larvae need only be fed and observed until they reach the size required for display. Therefore, stable breeding of Beroe cucumis can be achieved by feeding its larvae with Bolinopsis mikado, reducing labor and stress on the organisms from frequent water changes.

This article explores how the EU reached it decision to finalise accession negotiations with 10 candidate countries at the Copenhagen European Council in December 2002. At the time of the Helsinki European Council in December 1999, there was an apparent lack of consensus on the three crucial questions concerning enlargement—‘timing’ of the conclusion of accession negotiations and the date of the accessions, with ‘how many’ candidate countries, and how to ‘finance’ enlargement. It was extremely hard to find solutions that might satisfy both the current member states and candidate countries. This article analyses when, how and why these questions were solved, and how these painful accession negotiations were able to be finalised at Copenhagen.As for the question of the ‘timing’, most of the EU member states had initially been extremely reluctant to set any specific ‘Target Date’ to conclude the negotiations, while the candidate countries had constantly been demanding the EU to present such a date. The only ‘commitment’ that the EU made at Helsinki was to indicate that it would be ‘in a position to welcome new Member States from the end of 2002’. However, it turned out that the EU had to step up its commitment by a proposal after the Commission and the French Presidency to create the ‘Road Map’, a detailed scenario to finalise the negotiations, which was endorsed in the Nice European Council in December 2000. Although creating the ‘Road Map’ and setting a ‘Target Date’ were not precisely identical, it turned out that implementing the ‘Road Map’ directed the EU almost inevitably to refer to 2002 as the EU's goal to finalise the accession negotiations with the most prepared countries. Also, the pressure from the European Parliament to set the date of the accession as 2004 had a great influence on the conclusion of the negotiations by the end of 2002.The question of ‘size’ was settled in two stages: when the EU decided to conclude the accession negotiations with the most prepared candidates by the end of 2002, the question of the size was almost automatically settled. Then, having to admit the considerable progress of the accession negotiations under the Road Map, the Laeken European Council in December 2001 named 10 countries which were likely to finalise the negotiations by the end of 2002.The finalisation of the negotiations on the chapters with budgetary implications—‘Agriculture’, ‘Regional Policy and Co-ordination of Structural Instruments’ and ‘Finance and Budgetary Provisions’—was by far the most difficult. Although the EU claimed that their common positions were agreed at the Brussels European Summit in October 2002, the candidate countries were far from being satisfied by the deal. The negotiations were therefore on the brink of collapse. However, two factors contributed the finalisation of accession negotiations with the 10 candidate countries at the Copenhagen European Council in December 2002: the Danish Presidency played a role as an honest broker to find a compromise between current member states and the candidate countries, and EU member states were ‘entrapped’ to keep their ‘commitment’ at the Laeken European Council to finalise the negotiations by the end of 2002.

Although an increasing number of studies on psychological safety at workplaces has been conducted in both western and eastern countries, there are few empirically validated measures in Japan. Our purpose was to investigate the validity and reliability of the Japanese version of the Psychological Safety Scale. Japanese workers were invited to participate in online surveys at baseline and at one-month follow-up (N=320). The Psychological Safety Scale was translated into Japanese according to international guidelines. Social support at workplace, work engagement, organization-based self-esteem, organizational justice, and job satisfaction were measured. Cronbach’s alphas and intra-class correlation coefficient (ICC) were examined for reliability, and its validity was tested by confirmatory factor analysis and correlational analyses. The results of the survey showed that respondents were 287 at baseline and 236 at follow-up. Cronbach’s alphas of the Psychological Safety Scale were 0.91 (baseline) and 0.88 (follow-up), and ICC was 0.87. Confirmatory factor analysis demonstrated a marginally acceptable fit. Overall, the Japanese Psychological Safety Scale had moderate to strong correlations with other scales. In conclusion, the Japanese version of the Psychological Safety Scale had acceptable levels of reliability and validity, and may be applicable for use in Japanese workers.

The aim of this study is to assess the efficacy of multiple treatments, especially hydroxychloroquine, used in different disease stages of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). All consecutive patients with COVID-19 admitted to Shanghai Public Health Clinical Center (Shanghai, China) between January 20, 2020, and April 30, 2020, were enrolled, and their clinical data were retrospectively collected. Binary logistic regression was used to screen the factors associated with disease aggravation, and multivariable analyses with the Cox proportional hazards model were used to estimate the effects of prognostic factors on the improvement time and PCR conversion days in throat swabs and stool swabs. A total of 616 patients, including 50 (8.11%) severe and 18 (2.92%) critical patients, were enrolled in our retrospective cohort study. The early use of hydroxychloroquine was a protective factor associated with disease aggravation (95% CI: 0.040-0.575, p = 0.006). Clinical improvement by 20 days was significantly different between patients with hydroxychloroquine used early and those with hydroxychloroquine not used (p = 0.016, 95% CI: 1.052-1.647). The median time to clinical improvement was 6 days in the hydroxychloroquine used early group, compared with 9 days in the without hydroxychloroquine used group and 8 days in the with hydroxychloroquine not used early group (p < 0.001). Hydroxychloroquine used early was associated with earlier PCR conversion in both throat swabs (HR = 1.558, p = 0.001) and stool swabs (HR = 1.400, p = 0.028). The use of hydroxychloroquine at an early stage is a potential therapeutic strategy for treating patients before irreversible severe respiratory complications occur. The early use of hydroxychloroquine decreased the improvement time and the duration of COVID-19 detection in throat and stool swabs.

This article reconsiders the mean of the Peace Preservation Law in prewar Japan's era of party cabinets.   The Ministry of Interior (MI) took a passive attitude towards new Acts and applied existing laws against extreme thought. On the other hand, the Ministry of Justice (MJ) was more active in making new regulations because it needed a legal basis for thought control. Moreover, MI was close to Kensei-kai, as MJ with Seiyu-Kai. The KATO Taka'aki cabinet - Kensei-kai and Seiyu-kai were the Government parties - mediated between two ministries.   MI tightened its guard against overseas communists. Furthermore, Prime Minister KATO hoped to inhibit propaganda by means of the treaty between Japan and Soviet Russia rather than through domestic regulations. So, the Peace Preservation Law was enacted for punishing associations, especially communists. However, the limits of this Law were quickly exposed.   The first draft of the Bill would have allowed for the punishment of changing the parliamentary system, “Seitai”. However, political parties deleted this provision because they feared it might limit party activities.

Hippopotamus produces colorless sweat over its entire body. The color of the sweat turns red within a few minutes and then becomes brown during a few hours by producing polymers. We isolated the unstable red and orange pigments, called hipposudoric acid and norhipposudoric acid, respectively, responsible to the red coloration of the sweat. Syntheses of these pigments were performed using the Pschorr reaction for the formation of the fluorenone core and the oxidation in the last step producing the unstable diquinone as the key steps. The tautomeric structures of the common chromophore of these pigments in a protic solvent and in an aprotic solvent were also discussed.
