| Title Alternative | Descriptive Study of Itching Experienced by Adults with Atopic Dermatitis |
| FullText URL | interdisciplinary_4_9.pdf |
| Author | HIRAMI, Yuki| FUJIMOTO, Kanako| KODA, Masahide| HARADA, Nahoko| |
| Abstract | Background: Atopic Dermatitis (AD) is a chronic inflammatory skin disease characterized by intense itching, significantly impacting patients' psychosocial well-being worldwide. Objective: This study aimed to elucidate the multifaceted and multilayered burden of itch in adult AD patients, exploring strategies to capture the complexity of the disease and its symptoms comprehensively. Methods: The study utilized an array of Patient Reported Outcome (PRO) measures and conducted an exploratory analysis of patients' subjective descriptions of their itch experiences. Results: Twenty-three participants (female: n=16) were enrolled in the study. The Analyses revealed that none of the participants experienced in the same way about physical, emotional, and psychological burden of itch and limitation in social life. Additionally, it was found that PROs capture only partial aspects of itch and do not provide a comprehensive understanding. Discussion: The findings highlight the necessity of employing multiple PROs and conducting in-depth patient interviews to understand the daily life challenges associated with itch. The potential of interdisciplinary research to address the complex burden of itch in AD patients is also emphasized. Conclusion: A comprehensive understanding of the symptom of itch in AD patients requires the use of multiple PROs. |

| Title Alternative | Historical Analysis of Medical Artificial Intelligence Development in China: Research Centered on the expert system of traditional Chinese medicine |
| FullText URL | interdisciplinary_3_51.pdf |
| Author | QIN, Ling| |
| Abstract | This study is based on a historical analysis of the technological development and introduction of artificial intelligence for medical use in China, based on the progress of application of artificial intelligence technology development to the medical field of traditional Chinese medicine and the experience of many experts in clinical practice. Through the application history of Traditional Chinese Medicine（TCM）expert systems technology, we will review its historical characteristics and the necessity of TCM expert system technology. By examining the application cases of TCM expert systems, we can find that Traditional Chinese Medicine（TCM）expert systems play an important role as an auxiliary means of diagnosis and treatment for doctors. This paper finds that the development of Traditional Chinese Medicine（TCM）expert systems is directly related to the change of Chinese government's science and technology policy through the investigation of the application history of Traditional Chinese Medicine（TCM）expert systems. At the same time, because the science and technology policy directly related to the traditional Chinese Medicine（TCM）expert systems appeared late, so the implementation technology of the traditional Chinese Medicine（TCM）expert systems is still insufficient. The technical level adopted in the implementation of the existing traditional Chinese Medicine（TCM）expert systems is still in a relatively low state. Therefore, whether in hardware or software, we should develop a new integrated traditional Chinese Medicine（TCM）expert systems based on the treatment theory of many Traditional Chinese Medicine（TCM）expert systems, so as to meet the needs of modern Traditional Chinese Medicine（TCM）expert systems diagnosis, people's need for healthy life, and medical care. Finally, when studying the historical issues of Traditional Chinese Medicine （TCM）expert systems, the Chinese government's science and technology policy changes are also an integral part. |

| Title Alternative | Types of feelings of "Meiwaku/Burden": Through the analysis of examples of "Meiwaku/Burden" in Une mort très douce |
| FullText URL | interdisciplinary_3_39.pdf |
| Author | TANAKA, Natsumi| |
| Abstract | In contemporary Japan, the elderly often say that they do not wish to be a burden on anyone, and they make important decisions with this motivation (here called feelings of "Meiwaku/Burden"). This paper seeks to categorize feelings of "Meiwaku/Burden" according to its relationship to the type of motivation they express. For this purpose, we focused on feelings of "Meiwaku/Burden" of elderly people in France. As there is no easily corresponding phrase in French for our word "Meiwaku/Burden", the French use several different words to express this sense "Meiwaku/Burden". Here we draw examples from Une mort très douce by Simone de Beauvoir, as well as her La Ceremonie des adieux. The analysis of examples given in these books indicates that "Meiwaku/Burden" of the elderly is motivated by three factors: relationships (déranger), emotions (ennuyer), and body/physical (gêner). In this paper, according to these three motivations we categorize feelings of "Meiwaku/Burden" three types: the feelings of "Meiwaku/Burden" about relationships, the feelings of "Meiwaku/Burden" about emotions, and the feelings of "Meiwaku/Burden" about bodily/physical things. |

| Title Alternative | Feelings of “Meiwaku/Burden” and Autonomy: Through an Examination of Studies on Spiritual Pain and Self-Perceived Burden |
| FullText URL | interdisciplinary_3_29.pdf |
| Author | HIKASA, Haruka| |
| Abstract | This study aimed to clarify the meaning of feelings of “Meiwaku/Burden” in Japan, which is expressed as “I do not want to bother others” or “I do not want to be a burden.” This is examined specifically in the context of medical care for the terminally and chronically ill. The first section of this paper reviews the core meaning of autonomy and the situations in which feelings of “Meiwaku/Burden” is focused in Japan. Section 2 examines the meaning of “Meiwaku” and “burden,” which is understood in regards to “autonomy,” particularly in the context of patients’ terminal suffering and spiritual pain in palliative care in Japan. Section 3 verifies that “Meiwaku” and “burden” in Japan are sometimes understood as “self-perceived burden (SPB).” Section 4 examines the meaning of “burden” in the discussion of SPB. Section 5 attempts to clarify the meaning of feelings of “Meiwaku/Burden” in medical care, specifically in the context of “autonomy.” |

| Title Alternative | Feelings of "Meiwaku / Burden" as a Interaction: A Reflection Based on a Gift-giving Theoretic Approach |
| FullText URL | interdisciplinary_3_15.pdf |
| Author | SUZUKI, Ryozo| |
| Abstract | This paper examines elderly people’s Feelings of "Meiwaku / Burden" from the perspective of the act of gift-giving. In Japanese, the word "Morau" is used not only in receiving a concrete object, but also in having something done by someone. Both acts lead to the human relationship and the reciprocity. Both cases can cause a burden on receivers and others. We use then “Sumimasen”. This is not as the same as English words “Thank You”. But this usage of Japanese can be explained from a Gift-giving-theoretic point of view. Because, in terms of the outcome, they are the same thing from this theory. Therefore, we will examine the meaning of the word "receive" based on discussions by Kunio Yanagida, Michizo Toida, Ruth Benedict, Marcel Mauss, and others. We hope to clarify what is elderly people’s Feelings of "Meiwaku / Burden" by analyzing the meaning of human relationships brought about by the act of gift-giving in general. |

| Abstract | This special feature is based on the symposium ,"Feelings of "Meiwaku/Burden" in Modern Japan’s Super-aging Society,” which was held on Monday, September 19, 2022. This symposium was sponsored by JSPS KAKENHI Grant Number JP20A00007. This project focuses on the fact that when people think about aging, end-of-life care, and death in modern Japan, many feel that “they do not want to be a burden to others.” The project is divided into three research groups: historic studies, studies of contemporary Japan, and field research. The symposium reported the results of the contemporary Japan research group, which is halfway through its research. The symposium consisted of two sessions, and this special feature is based on the three participants in the session titled “Feelings of"Meiwaku/Burden" : A Comparison with Other Countries.” Ryozo Suzuki’s study focuses on “the giving of gifts as being mutual actions of giving and receiving” to understand the elderly’s feelings of meiwaku and analyzes the significance and complex structures of the feeling of “being a burden to others” at the end of one’s life. Haruka Hikasa’s study considers the feelings of meiwaku in relation to the subject’s autonomy in the context of medical care provided to people with terminal or chronic illnesses. Natsumi Tanaka’s study examines the feelings of meiwaku among the elderly in France and is based on the work of Simone de Beauvoir. She determines the motivations behind the elderly’s feelings of meiwaku and categorizes them. The abovementioned studies present important research results and facilitate future comparative research on the feelings of meiwaku between Japan and other countries. |
