Gaetice depressus, a varunid crab common on intertidal boulder shores, is a potential key organism for monitoring organic matter flow through the food web. In order to elucidate its biogeochemical role, the diet source and trophic position of this crab on the boulder shore of an island off the Izu Peninsula, Japan, were estimated using three approaches: foregut content examination, stable isotope signature (δ13C and δ15N) and pigment biomarkers. The results suggest that G. depressus utilizes green macroalgae (Ulva sp., Ulvaria sp.) as its main diet source together with red macroalgae (Gloiopeltis complanata, Gl. furcata). This crab also utilizes periphytic and planktonic microautotrophs (occasionally tissues of heterotrophs) when macroalgae prove insufficient due to seasonal change. Therefore, G. depressus can be considered to be an omnivore since it consumes both autotrophs and heterotrophs, although it obtains organic matter mostly from autotrophs.

上部消化管内視鏡検査後の急性胃粘膜病変(PE-AGML)は日本において1973年頃から指摘されていた.このPE-AGMLの原因は当初,一般のAGMLと同一と思われており偶然にその発症前後を観察したと考えられていた.その後,内視鏡検査によるストレス説,内視鏡挿入・空気注入に伴う胃の過伸展による血流障害説などが主に推測され検討されてきた. 1989年からPE-AGMLとHelicobacter pylori(H.pylori)との関連が検討されはじめ,その発症には主にH.pyloriが関与している多くの研究結果が報告されてきた.加えて,内視鏡機器の洗浄・消毒法の検討もおこなわれ,事実上,PE-AGMLは十分な内視鏡の消毒により激減してきた.したがって今日では,PE-AGMLは内視鏡機器の不十分な消毒によって介在される微生物感染が主因であり,その中でH,pylori感染が中心をなしているのではないかと考えられるようになってきた.

After we organized a community-based home medical care (HMC) training workshop composed of presentations by welfare and care workers in addition to patients’ family and targeting community pharmacists in collaboration with a regional pharmacy association, we carried out a questionnaire survey to the pharmacists in attendance to take hold on pharmacist’ opinions for the workshop and attitudes for HMC. The participants had a relatively high level of satisfaction regarding the workshop, rating an average of 7.81 out of 10.0. Among the participants, 77.5% had experience of HMC such as visiting pharmacy services at patient’ home, with the most widely practiced activity being “drug administration guidance for patients at home.” However, activities such as “accompany at the time of rounds” and “participation in conferences” were not widely practiced (less than 50% of the most activity) among the participants. Many participants responded that the key factors of HMC were the cooperation system between different professionals and its environmental arrangement. Overall, positive feedback from participants regarding this workshop was reported, through statements such as “I was able to rediscover the need for cooperation in a diverse team with differing job functions” and “the care of patients and their family was important.” We found many opinions that cooperation with other professionals is important in deepening pharmacists’ involvement in HMC, and that this workshop serves as a bridge to establish greater communication between care workers and pharmacists.

The Japanese captive population of Japanese crested ibis (Nipponia nippon) was established using 5 founders derived from the Chinese captive population. Its size has increased rapidly, and the maintenance phase is about to start. Thus, this study was designed to perform genetic analyses in this population with pedigree information, considering the adoption of mean kinship strategy as the breeding strategy suited to the maintenance phase. Because the relationships among the 5 founders were unknown, different assumptions were set up ranging from 0 to 0.25 of kinship coefficients between the 5 founders. Assuming that the 5 founders were non-inbred in all the assumptions, the results showed that the gene diversity and the mean inbreeding coefficient would fluctuate largely from ∼65% to ∼82% and from ∼0.07 to ∼0.29, respectively. Moreover, the genetic importance of individuals based on mean kinship shifted largely. This study suggested that the Japanese captive population had low gene diversity and high mean inbreeding coefficient even under the assumption that the 5 founders were unrelated and non-inbred. In addition, the study also suggested that it became more effective to analyze the genetic status and to introduce mean kinship strategy into this population with more credible molecular evaluation of the relationships among founders.

The Kuril basin was formed by back-arc spreading in Oligo-Miocene time which is deduced from bottom depth, heat flow and geological data in and around the basin. The b sin has a shape of fan which diminishes northeastward and closes just southwestern end of Kamchatka Peninsula.The fan shape strongly suggests that the basin was formed by the rotation of backarc plate (the Okhotsk Plate) around a relative rotation pole located between the Kuril Basin and Kamchatka Peninsula. Geology around the Sea of Okhotsk indicates that the clockwise rotation of the Okhotsk Plate and the fan spreading of the Kuril Basin concurrently took place in Oligo-Miocene time.

Fungal contamination of food is one of the most important food safety concerns, however effective techniques to prevent fungal contamination and/or control fungal growth in foods have not yet been established. Some endogenous volatile compounds in plants have antibacterial and/or antifungal activities. For example, when some plants are damaged, they release aliphatic aldehydes with six or nine carbons to protect themselves from microbial infection. Patulin is the major mycotoxin that contaminates apples and apple juice worldwide, and it is regulated in many countries. Patulin has been shown to be immunotoxic and neurotoxic by animal experiments. Many species of Penicillium and Aspergillus produce patulin, but P. expansum is the most typical species responsible for patulin contamination in apples. We attempted to assess the effects of aliphatic aldehydes on P. expansum. Aliphatic aldehydes composed of 3–6 carbons bearing an E double bond at the α-position completely inhibited the fungal growth and suppressed colony formation from spores at relatively low concentrations. On the basis of the structure-activity relationship, the antifungal activity of the compounds is probably attributable to the interaction of the aldehyde group with biological macromolecules. On the other hand, aliphatic aldehydes with 8–10 carbons stimulated patulin production by P. expansum. The results of a reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction analysis suggested that the stimulation was partially due to enhanced transcription of some patulin biosynthetic genes. The effects of volatiles of apple on patulin production by P. expansum were also studied. Some volatile compounds, that is, 2-mehtylbutanoic acid and ethyl 2-methylbutanoate, were found to stimulate patulin production. These findings will contribute to the development of new techniques to prevent and control fungal and mycotoxin contamination of foods.

本研究では,東日本大震災の津波による閖上地区のアカガイ漁業への影響把握を目的として,漁業基盤の現状,アカガイ資源の解析,および放射性物質の検出状況を整理した。漁業基盤では,漁船隻数を中心に緩やかな回復が期待された。また,アカガイ資源は分布密度や殻長組成の推移から増大していると判断された。放射性物質の検出状況についても,アカガイは基準値以下であり,アカガイ魚業の継続は十分可能であると考えられた。今後,漁獲物サイズを大型化する等の実施により,持続性を担保したアカガイ漁業の復興が期待される。

This paper attempts to develop a new model for analyzing the reasons behind trafficking in persons. Trafficking in persons in the form of sexual exploitation therefore is caused by differentials in power between sex, the rich and the poor, and citizen and non-citizen. From power differentials evolves discrimination, and discrimination is justified by power. Moreover, the paper suggests possibilities for constructing a social structure that is able to address the problem of discrimination.By analyzing the trafficking of victims' throughout the world, based on the information provided by the United Nations Office for Drugs and Crime (UNODC), we recognize specific geographic aspects of human trafficking. Mostly, victims come from developing countries such as those in Eastern Europe or Asia, and their final destinations are developed countries such as Japan, the USA, or Italy. By scrutinizing the conditions for human trafficking based on the modern world-system theory we learn that “core” areas exploit “semi-periphery” areas. This finding applied to the problem of trafficking in persons then means that the “core” exploits the “periphery” physically..However, modern world-system theory's explanation for the causes of this crime is insufficient. The existing deep discrimination between men and women or the rich, the poor, and citizen and non-citizen brings to light the relation of power between those who discriminate and those discriminated. In this sense, sex discrimination is caused by “nation states” politics, which is strongly patriarchal. Therefore, this politics forces women to be “peripheral”, i. e. to serve as assistants for men in society. Further, discrimination against foreigners is also strongly related with “nation states'” politics, which excludes “others”. Carrying this explanation further, we can argue that economic discrimination promotes people with power while discriminating “others”. The modern world-system structure ties agents' action, thus it is hard to solve the problem of discrimination. On the other hand, there are certain possibilities that agents' action can influence the structure of this world system.The victims of trafficking in persons are forced to the bottom of the hierarchy structured by power differentials with discrimination and thus to fate of being the slave, whose human dignity is ravished by sexual exploitation. Thus it is essential to remove the consciousness of discrimination, which justifies power differentials between sex, the rich and the poor, and citizen and non-citizen. It is here, where cooperation with international organizations and NGOs serves our purpose.Firstly, it is necessary to raise consciousness among those who ‘buy’ women, that their action is a “crime”. Secondly, it is important to enhance women's consciousness of being a victim. And finally, it is essential to bring the issue of trafficking in persons to the consciousness of the ordinary people, and encourage them to help the victims.

[Purpose] This study aimed to investigate the effect of shoulder positions and speeds on internal and external rotation torque of college baseball players and age-matched non-players. [Subjects] Twenty first-level collegiate baseball players and 19 college students were recruited. [Methods] A dynamometer system was used to evaluate the shoulder rotation strength in sitting postures. Three testing positions, namely shoulder abduction of 45°, 70°, and 90° in the scapular plane, were combined with three testing speeds at 60°/s, 120°/s, and 210°/s. [Results] The maximum external and internal rotation torques both occurred at shoulder abduction of 70°. However, only external rotation torque was affected by the speed, with the peak value observed at 60°/s. The internal rotation torque of baseball players was larger than that of the control group under all testing conditions, but the external rotation did not show any difference. The ratio of external to internal rotation torque changed with the testing positions and speeds in both groups. The ratio in the control group was greater than that in the player group. [Conclusion] The shoulder position could affect the rotational strength, and the baseball players could strengthen their external rotators for better performance and injury prevention.

This study discussed the estimation of asbestos waste generation from both dispersed and undispersed asbestos building materials in building demolition by comparing three possible future outcomes, from “30±2 years Longevity Scenario”, “Simple Remaining-rate Function Scenario” and “Floating Remaining-rate Function Scenario”. The main results are as follows,1. Each scenario led quite different future outcomes, especially in case of undispersed asbestos building materials wastes. And there is a possibility of leading the false outcome by “30±2 years Longevity Scenario” for the generated period and the maximum quantity.2. “Simple Remaining-rate Function Scenario” and “Floating Remaining-rate Function Scenario” led similar outcomes in case of dispersed asbestos building materials wastes, though the latter is a little less until middle of the 2020's.3. These outcomes have a big influence on the future management of processing and disposal of asbestos waste.

Recently, neuromarketing has attracted attention, in which the customer's response to commodity and advertisement is analyzed from brain activity. In this study, electroencephalogram (EEG) was recorded while the commodity characters are presented and the familiarity towards them being evaluated. We analyzed the difference of the EEGs by the responses to the subjects (KNOWN or UNKNOWN). In the analysis of event-related potential (ERP) component P2, we found higher P2 amplitude for KNOWN than UNKNOWN. In addition, cognitive states affected induced gamma band responses (iGBR), KNOWN activated amplitudes in high gamma frequency band. From these results, we suggested that iGBR and P2 reflect cognitive states to the characters as human face familiarity.
