Abstract This study aimed to develop a scale enabling nurses to objectively evaluate their own stroke discharge support, as a basis for enhancing its overall effectiveness. A draft scale was created based on a literature review, and consisted of a 51-item, 5-point Likert-type questionnaire administered to ward nurses engaged in stroke discharge support at acute care hospitals. Factor analysis was performed to refine the scale. Construct validity was assessed using the known-groups method, and reliability was evaluated through internal consistency analysis. The resulting Stroke Discharge Support Evaluation Scale comprises 29 items across 5 factors, each rated on a 5-point Likert scale. Analysis of the data collected from 237 valid responses demonstrated good internal consistency and supported the scale’s construct validity. The Stroke Discharge Support Evaluation Scale is a reliable and valid tool enabling ward nurses in acute care hospitals to evaluate their own stroke discharge support.

Abstract Appropriate treatments for chronic hemodialysis patients are a public health challenge in Japan. Sedentary behavior appears to be closely associated with these patients’ survival. We thus sought to develop a nomogram that predicts survival based on the duration of chronic hemodialysis patients’ sedentary behavior. One hundred twenty-four patients under chronic hemodialysis (73 men, 51 women, age 71.7±11.1 years) were enrolled in this cohort study. The patients wore a triaxial accelerometer that measured both their sedentary behavior, i.e., total sedentary behavior (minutes) and their maximum sedentary bouts (min) on non-hemodialysis days. We obtained the Kaplan-Meier curve and used the log-rank test and a Cox proportional hazards model to evaluate the relationship between the patients’ sedentary behavior and their survival. We also used a Cox proportional hazards model to develop a nomogram for the patients’ 5-year survival rate. Forty-six patients died during the follow-up period. When we stratified the patients by the medians of total sedentary behavior and maximum sedentary bouts, we observed significant between-group differences. After adjustment for confounding factors in a Cox proportional hazards model, total sedentary behavior and maximum sedentary bouts were identified as critical survival factors, and we generated a nomogram using an index of sedentary behavior. Our analysis results demonstrated that sedentary behavior on non-dialysis days was closely associated with the survival of the chronic hemodialysis patients, suggesting that a decrease in sedentary behavior would prolong their survival. The nomogram developed herein based on sedentary behavior may be useful for predicting the outcomes of chronic hemodialysis patients.

Abstract Venous thromboembolism (VTE) is a serious complication in patients with cancer. In this population, the presence of thrombi is often assessed at cancer diagnosis by measuring D-dimer levels, which have high sensitivity but low specificity for identifying VTE at this clinical time point. However, the usefulness of D-dimer measurement during anticoagulation therapy has not been fully established, despite its widespread use. In this retrospective observational study, we investigated whether D-dimer measurement during anticoagulation therapy in cancer patients could predict overt VTE at follow-up. The study included patients who underwent D-dimer testing and contrast-enhanced computed tomography between 30 and 100 days after initiation of anticoagulation therapy. Eighty-two patients were included: 60 with cancer and 22 without. The diagnostic performance of D-dimer for overt VTE was as follows: sensitivity, 85.7%; specificity, 87.2%; positive predictive value, 78.3%; and negative predictive value, 89.2%. These findings suggest that D-dimer measurement at follow-up has high sensitivity and specificity for overt VTE in cancer patients and may aid in assessing thrombotic status. Clinically, if anticoagulation therapy is continued until D-dimer levels become negative, the absence of overt VTE could be inferred without additional invasive testing.

Abstract Tibetan thangka refers to a genre of pictorial art widely produced across the Tibetan cultural region since the 11th century. Although scroll painting is its most common form, thangkas are also created through embroidery, appliqué, and brocade weaving. The subjects depicted encompass a wide range of themes within Tibetan Buddhism and the Bön religion, including various Buddhas, bodhisattvas, deities, monks, mandalas, as well as astronomical and medical knowledge. Within Tibetan religious beliefs, thangkas are not merely visual representations; they are venerated as supports of Buddha (Tib. sku rten), understood as physical embodiments of divine presence. At the same time, the creation and veneration of thangka constitute a rich aesthetic tradition in which artists repeatedly integrate realist elements into this sacred canvas.
This paper offers a micro anthropological examination (Tanaka 2005; 田中 2006) of the depiction of thangka as a practice oscillating between inscribing the canonical and drawing the real. Through critically engaging with the theory of agency of art (Gell 1998), and the analysis of writing and drawing (Ingold 2017), this study examines the dialectical relationship between rendering sacred images and depicting worldly reality, and how such practices unfold in the tension between prescriptive authority and embodied perception.

Abstract This paper aims to clarify the dynamic aspect of the sacred that the religious image is imbued with, focusing on a Catholic practice in a current rural village of western Mexico. In classical studies of the sacred, it has generally been considered disconnected from the profane and ambivalent. Other research has revealed the multi-layered nature of the sacred and its constructive aspect. In contrast, this paper will discuss a sacredness that arises from the interaction between human beings and objects, a sacredness that is both performative and intimate. Thus, this article will analyze practitioners’ everyday, contingent acts, free from formality. In conclusion, “the sacred” contains a part of the profane caused by the Catholic image going back and forth between the realms of “the sacred” and “the profane”.

Abstract Every year in November, the Tori no Ichi festival draws huge crowds to the grounds of Hanazono Shrine in Shinjuku, Tokyo. The festival is centered around the buying and selling of kumade, or good luck rakes. These bold and colorful objects function as engimono, or good luck charms, purchased for business prosperity or home safety. This study explores the circulation and itinerary of kumade at the Tori no Ichi festival by analyzing the performances surrounding them. While previous scholarship on engimono has focused on their roles in domestic settings or disposal rituals, this research approaches them in situ at the festival. The study shows that these objects bridge the festival and the everyday, connecting people to the event and the sacred site through a dynamic network of social, spatial, and ritual practices. The research draws on fieldwork and in-depth interviews conducted at Hanazono Shrine between 2020 and 2024.

Abstract This article examines how domestic sacredness is dynamically generated, negotiated, and undone within South Indian Brahmin households. Based on ethnographic analysis of the wedding first-night ritual and the Navarātri kolu festival, the study shows how ritual doubling—exemplified by the marappācci dolls as symbolic doubles of the bridal couple—and the circulation of miniature utensils link life-cycle rites with annual festivals. The kolu’s stepped display condenses cosmological hierarchies while activating gendered forms of ritual practice, auspiciousness (maṅgalam) and purity (śuddham). Everyday acts such as sweeping threshold, sparkling water, drawing kolam, and lighting lamps function as “religious profane” practices that continually remake the boundaries between the mundane and the sacred. Digital sharing and online kolu competitions further extend domestic sacredness into dispersed social networks. By foregrounding materiality, gender, purity, and the ephemerality of ritual arrangements, the article demonstrates that domestic sacredness is a plural, fragile and continually renewed process of making and unmaking.

Title Alternative The trajectory of rural field research and modernization discourse in American area studies: The Intersection of the University of Michigan’s Center for Japanese Studies Okayama Field Station, J. W. Hall, and the Seto Inland Sea Cultural Research Group

Abstract During the late Allied occupation and the 1950s, the University of Michigan’s Center for Japanese Studies established a field station in Okayama, where American scholars conducted rural research. This article examines the challenges of academic research under occupation and analyzes how such research was organized through specific actors and institutional arrangements, with particular attention to its intersection with the academic knowledge of the host institution, Okayama University. Focusing on the historian John W. Hall, it traces the activities of the Michigan field station and explores its interactions with Okayama University and the Seto Inland Sea Cultural Research Group. The article argues that while archival research—understood as a form of fieldwork—facilitated collaborative research, differing conceptions of rural society constituted a critical point of divergence in the production of scholarly knowledge.

Title Alternative Proposed locations of villages recorded in the Silla Village Register

Author MURAKAMI, Nana|
Abstract The Silla Village Register is a fragmentary record from the Unified Silla period that details the economic conditions of villages under the jurisdiction of small capitals (小京) and local counties (郡 / 県). In analyzing this register, it is essential to consider the geographical conditions of the locations; however, the exact locations of the villages have long remained unidentified in previous studies. Therefore, this study builds on the readings proposed by Choi Kyŏng-sŏn ( 최 경 선 ) and examines official histories and geographical texts from the Chosŏn dynasty, as well as topographic maps from the early 20th century. As a result, this paper proposes a concrete candidate for the location of one of the four villages under the jurisdiction of Sŏwŏn-gyŏng (西原京), commonly referred to as Village D. It has been clarified that Village D can be read as " 西原京□椒子村" and it is highly likely to correspond to present-day Chojŏng-ri, Naesu-ŭp, Heungdeok-gu, Cheongju City (清州市清原区内秀邑椒井里). It was also found that Village D’s characteristic of having few rice paddies and a high proportion of upland field cultivation closely matches the actual local geographical conditions, which are characterized by limited water resources.

Abstract This paper reports on the integrative research findings of the human bones excavated from the Inome Cave Site in Shimane Prefecture, based on dietary estimation using carbon and nitrogen isotope analysis, radiocarbon dating, and whole genome analysis. The dates of the analyzed human bones span a wide range, from the Middle to Late Kofun period, the Nara period to the Early Heian period, and the Middle to Late Heian period, indicating that the Inome Cave Site was continuously used as a burial place. Dietary habits were a mixture of C3 resources (C3 plants and terrestrial animals that consumed C3 plants) and marine resources, with individual variations in the intake of marine and terrestrial resources. A correlation was observed between differences in dietary habits and individual variations in the Jomon ratio in the nuclear genome, with individuals who consumed higher amounts of marine resources tending to have a higher Jomon ratio. This suggests that individuals with different backgrounds were buried in the same site due to interactions with surrounding settlements.

Title Alternative The “Russian Flu” pandemic in Japan, 1889-1891: A social-historical perspective
JaLCDOI 10.18926/70051
FullText URL jdc_005_001.pdf
Author KAWAUCHI, Atsushi|
Abstract This study offers a social-historical analysis of the “Russian flu” pandemic in Japan (1889–1891). Due to scarce statistical data, the study relies primarily on contemporary newspapers and magazines. It identifies two distinct epidemic waves: the first in spring-summer 1890, and the second from late 1890 to spring 1891. The first wave, though widespread, was overshadowed by a concurrent cholera epidemic and caused relatively few deaths, whereas the second wave was far more lethal and generated widespread fear. At the time, influenza remained an “unknown disease”, with unclear etiology and no established treatments. People responded with diverse measures, from purchasing patent medicines and using folk remedies to symbolic practices such as "disease naming" (osome-kaze). The crisis also renewed attention to historical records of earlier influenza-like epidemics in Japan. In contrast, by the time of the later “Spanish flu” pandemic, advances in bacteriology had already rendered influenza a medically defined disease. This comparison highlights how shifting medical knowledge shaped societal responses. The findings not only corroborate previous excess-mortality analyses but also provide new historical insights into how societies have historically confronted pandemics.
