Title Alternative The inflow of Bizen Sue ware into the palace capital in the first half of the Asuka period
JaLCDOI 10.18926/66190
FullText URL jdc_003_041.pdf
Author KIMURA, Osamu| BABA, Masakazu| MORIKAWA, Minoru|
Abstract In this paper, we attempt to reconstruct the process by which Bizen Sue ware flowed into the palace capital in the early 7th century, the first half of the Asuka period. Among the large lids collected from the Sazarashi Nakaike Kiln in Setouchi City, Okayama Prefecture, we found one that closely resembles the lids unearthed in the southern part of the Nara Basin, the Asuka Fujiwara area, and it is now clear that Sue ware was supplied to the capital from the Bizen area in the eastern part of Okayama Prefecture. The supply of Sue ware from the Bizen area to the Asuka Fujiwara area may date back to the first half of the Asuka period. It has been suggested that the supply of Sue ware to the imperial capital became active in the latter half of the Asuka period, but the results of this paper clarify that the Bizen area was supplying Sue ware to the palace capital before such large-scale supply began. It is highly likely that the supply of Sue ware to the palace capital in the first half of the Asuka period became the basis for the mass supply seen in the latter half.

Title Alternative Parameter study of strong ground motion simulation for the Median Tectonic Line in the case of the Iyo-Bungo Earthquake of September 1st, 1596
JaLCDOI 10.18926/66189
FullText URL jdc_003_021.pdf
Author OKUMA, Yurie| KUMAMOTO, Takashi|
Abstract The purpose of this study is to verify the fault length and earthquake magnitude of the Iyo-Bungo earthquake in 1596 estimated by Ishibashi (2019) using historical documents written in the same period. According to Ishibashi (2019), the length of the source fault was estimated to have been less than 100 km and the earthquake magnitude was roughly estimated to have been around 7.5. In order to attempt to reproduce the interpretation, we conducted two different strong ground motion simulations: the attenuation equation method and the characterized source model method, both used in the Headquarters for Earthquake Research Promotion. We simulated earthquake ground motions based on several source fault models including estimation by Ishibashi (2019). For the length of the fault, a 100 km length corresponding to the Iyonada segment of the Median Tectonic Line active fault system was the first model and 130 km and 160 km models extending onshore to the northeast were taken into account as epistemic uncertainties. Regarding the dip angle of the fault, both 40 and 90 degree models were considered also as epistemic uncertainties. Our calculation with other uncertainties shows that the models with a fault length of 100 km with a dip angle of 90 or 40 degrees are consistent with the seismic intensity and seismogenic fault length of offshore fault estimated by Ishibashi (2019) based on reliable first-grade documents. If low-certainty intensity estimates by Ishibashi (2019) are used to evaluate fault length in our calculation, the possibility of 130 or 160 km length models with additional onshore faults will remain. Our results show that the strong ground motion simulation could reinforce the expert’s interpretation of historical documents and propose quantitative source fault models for historical earthquakes.

Abstract Holistic well-being has rapidly developed in the 21st century as a policy measurement tool. Nevertheless, there continue to be some gaps in the literature regarding the interrelation between subjective well-being and other factors, and, regarding disaggregation of the well-being status within a country, by age group, gender, and community. This study first illustrates how the concept of well-being developed from a philosophical and psychological conception of “happiness” to being measured by multidimensional tools that measure the impact of policy and the progress of society, such as OECD’s Better Life Index, UK’s National Well-being Measurement, and Japan’s Well-being Survey and Quality of Life. Subsequently, it analyzes the relationships between subjective well-being and objective variables by comparing the country, regional, and individual datasets. It found that some indicators, such as social relationships, have asymmetric effects on life satisfaction depending on the income level or threshold. In other words, if the income is less than a certain level, the effects of some indicators on life satisfaction are complementary to income, while if the income is above that level, the effects are substitutional. Finally, it estimates these effects and confirms them statistically by using the OECD Regional Statistics. Regarding the relationship between social connection and self-evaluation of life satisfaction rated on a 10-point Likert scale, the base score in the estimation is approximately 5.1 points higher in the lowest quartile group of income. However, the substitution is lower than that of the other groups by approximately -0.061. The coefficient of social connection for the other groups was approximately 0.059, and the lowest group had almost zero coefficients for substitution.

Abstract In the management of post-injury patients with activity limitations, methods to prevent musculoskeletal disorders and hasten recovery are important. This randomized controlled, single-blinded study was a preliminary investigation of the combined effect of nutritional support with neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) on muscle strength and thickness. Healthy young adult males (median age, 21 years) were enrolled; each of their hands was randomly assigned to one of the following four groups: Placebo, Nutrition, NMES, and Nutrition + NMES. All participants received whey protein or placebo (3x/week for 6 weeks) and NMES training (3x/week for 6 weeks) on the abductor digiti minimi (ADM) muscle of either the left or right hand. ADM muscle strength and thickness were analyzed at baseline and at week 7. We analyzed 38 hands (9 Placebo, 10 Nutrition, 9 NMES, 10 Nutrition + NMES). There was significantly greater muscle strengthening in the Nutrition + NMES group compared to the Placebo group or the NMES group, but no significant difference in gain of muscle thickness. The combined intervention may be effective in improving muscle strength. Future clinical trials targeting various muscles after sports-related injuries are warranted.

Abstract To explore the incidence of abnormal vaginal cytology after total laparoscopic hysterectomy for the treatment of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia 3, we retrospectively analyzed the medical records of patients treated at NHO Shikoku Cancer Center (Japan) in 2014-2019. The cases of 99 patients who underwent a laparoscopic (n=36) or open (n=63) hysterectomy and postoperative follow-up were examined. Abnormal vaginal cytology was detected in 13.9% (5/36) of the laparoscopic-surgery (LS) group and 14.3% (9/63) of the open-surgery (OS) group. A vaginal biopsy was performed at the physicians’ discretion; one LS patient and six OS patients were diagnosed with vaginal intraepithelial neoplasia. The cumulative incidence of abnormal vaginal cytology at 3 years post-hysterectomy was 21.4% (LS group) and 20.5% (OS group), a nonsignificant difference. A multivariate analysis showed that age > 50 years was the only independent risk factor for abnormal vaginal cytology among the covariates examined including age; body mass index; histories of vaginal delivery, abdominal surgery, and smoking; and surgical approach (hazard ratio 8.11; 95% confidence interval 1.73-37.98; p=0.01). These results suggest that the occurrence of abnormal vaginal cytology after a hysterectomy may not be influenced by the laparoscopic procedure but is associated with older age.

Abstract The relationship between osteoarthritis (OA) of the lower extremity and shoulder OA has not been established. This study evaluated the prevalence of shoulder OA in patients with knee OA. We collected contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CECT) images of the shoulder joints of 105 patients with knee OA that were taken 1 week after they underwent primary knee arthroplasty to check for venous thromboembolism (VTE). The images were compared with CECT images of 110 control-group patients that were taken for the purpose of differentiating VTE. Shoulder OA was present in a significantly higher percentage of patients with knee arthroplasty than controls (29% versus 15%), and the difference was particularly pronounced in patients in their 70s (33%) compared to age-matched controls (11%). Patients with knee OA often use arm support to stand up or walk due to knee joint pain and muscle weakness, which places the weight-bearing shoulder at risk of developing OA.

Abstract There is a growing concern about the relationship between vancomycin-associated nephrotoxicity (VAN) and concomitant use of nephrotoxins. We examined this relationship by combined retrospective analyses of two real-world databases. Initially, the FDA Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS) was analyzed for the effects of concomitant use of one or more nephrotoxins on VAN and the types of combinations of nephrotoxins that exacerbate VAN. Next, electronic medical records (EMRs) of patients who received vancomycin (VCM) at Tokushima University Hospital between January 2006 and March 2019 were examined to confirm the FAERS analysis. An elevated reporting odds ratio (ROR) was observed with increases in the number of nephrotoxins administered (VCM + one nephrotoxin, adjusted ROR (95% confidence interval [CI]) 1.67 [1.51-1.85]; VCM + ≥2 nephrotoxins, adjusted ROR [95% CI] 1.54 [1.37-1.73]) in FAERS. EMRs analysis showed that the number of nephrotoxins was associated with higher incidences of VAN [odds ratio: 1.99; 95% CI: 1.42-2.78]. Overall, concomitant use of nephrotoxins was associated with an increased incidence of VAN, especially when at least one of those nephrotoxins was a renal hypoperfusion medication (furosemide, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, and vasopressors). The concomitant use of multiple nephrotoxins, especially including renal hypoperfusion medication, should be avoided to prevent VAN.

Abstract Bereavement care is conducted to meet the emotional needs of grieving couples who are devastated by the experience of a miscarriage or stillbirth. From January to April 2022, we distributed a questionnaire that assessed the knowledge and attitudes of Japanese nursing staff (nurses and midwives) in Japan’s Chugoku-Shikoku region toward bereavement care for couples with miscarriage/stillbirth. The 370 survey respondents’ answers revealed that the nursing staff’s knowledge regarding recurrent pregnancy loss and subsequent bereavement care was insufficient. About 41.1% and 64.1% of the respondents had received school and on-the-job education in bereavement care, respectively, and 79.2% expressed willingness to provide such care. Our analyses revealed that the following factors were associated with the nursing staff’s knowledge level: parent status, age, reproductive history, midwifery license, work experience and environment, and on-the-job education. The following were correlated with the staff’s willingness to provide bereavement care: work environment, midwifery license, bereavement care knowledge, and on-the-job education. Together our findings indicate that education plays a significant role in equipping caregivers to provide effective bereavement care for couples who have experienced a miscarriage or stillbirth.
