kn-abstract=Benign adult familial myoclonus epilepsy (BAFME) is caused by intronic TTTCA and TTTTA repeat expansions in SAMD12 and other genes; the neuronal basis of cortical hyperexcitability, however, remains unclear. We generated induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC)-derived glutamatergic and GABAergic neurons from three BAFME1 patients and examined functional and transcriptomic phenotypes. Patient-derived neurons retained the pathogenic repeat expansions and showed a tendency toward upstream intronic RNA accumulation. Calcium imaging revealed increased spontaneous Ca2?+ transient frequency in both neuronal subtypes, indicating heightened activity. Pharmacological profiling demonstrated attenuated responses to calcium-permeable α-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazolepropionic acid (AMPA)-type glutamate receptor (CP-AMPAR) blockade and GABAA receptor antagonism in GABAergic neurons, suggesting altered inhibitory signaling. RNA sequencing revealed transcriptomic alterations without differential expression of ion channels and neurotransmitter receptors. In glutamatergic neurons, ATF4-regulated genes, including SLC7A5 encoding LAT1, a Kv1.2 channel modulator, were downregulated. Reduced SLC7A5 expression was validated at both mRNA and protein levels. In GABAergic neurons, synapse-associated genes PTPRD and GPC6 were upregulated. TCERG1L and NLRP2 were suppressed across both neuronal subtypes. These findings suggest subtype-specific alterations may contribute to neuronal hyperexcitability in BAFME and provide a platform for mechanistic studies of repeat expansion-associated epilepsies.

kn-title=Immersion is not enough: Design quality as the key determinant of perceived effectiveness and usage intention in educational virtual reality
en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=
kn-abstract=Immersive technologies such as Virtual Reality (VR) are increasingly used to support conceptual understanding in science education, yet perceived learning benefits depend on the quality of system design rather than immersion alone. This study investigates how four design-quality dimensions?Visual and Technological Design (VT), Aesthetic Quality (AQ), Curriculum Alignment (CA), and Digital Feasibility (DF)?influence learners' Perceived Effectiveness (PE) and Intention to Use (IU) the VARIASI VR simulation, which visualizes particle behavior across phase states of matter. Using an explanatory sequential mixed-methods design, quantitative data from 60 participants were analyzed using PLS-SEM, followed by reflexive thematic analysis of open-ended responses. Results show that VT, AQ, CA, and DF each significantly predict PE, demonstrating that learners' perception of effectiveness depends on the coordinated alignment of conceptual clarity, emotional resonance, and system reliability. However, none of these dimensions directly predicted IU, and the PE → IU relationship was positive but marginal, reflecting learners’ need for procedural guidance and comfort to sustain voluntary adoption. Qualitative findings reveal that while VR enhanced conceptual clarity and engagement, continued use depended on familiarity, scaffolding, and physical comfort. The study highlights that effective VR-based science learning experiences emerge when immersive environments are not only well-designed but pedagogically framed to support confidence and sustained use.

kn-title=Escalation of CTX-M-producing extensively drug-resistant Shigella spp. in Kolkata, India, following the COVID-19 pandemic
en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=
kn-abstract=Shigella spp. is recognized by the World Health Organization as a high-priority pathogen due to its global prevalence, unique pathogenic mechanisms, and growing antimicrobial resistance (AMR). Nearly half of all Shigella strains worldwide are now multidrug-resistant (MDR), and the emergence of extensively drug-resistant (XDR) variants?resistant to ciprofloxacin, ceftriaxone, and azithromycin?has severely limited effective treatment options. The present study is based on prospective laboratory surveillance involving 323 Shigella isolates collected during 2021?2023, with pre-COVID-19 pandemic data included from a previously published study solely for historical comparison. The presence of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) was investigated, and whole-genome sequencing (WGS) was performed on representative isolates to assess phylogenetic relatedness with global isolates. Approximately 10% of isolates exhibited resistance to third-generation cephalosporins. While only 3% of Shigella isolates carried the blaCTX-M-15 gene from 2013 to 2019, its prevalence increased to 26% by 2022?2023. Among 38 ceftriaxone-resistant S. sonnei isolates, 33 were also resistant to azithromycin, categorizing them as XDR. These isolates showed 48% clonal similarity and high phylogenetic resemblance to the isolates reported from England. Hybrid genome assembly revealed a plasmid harboring both the blaCTX-M-15 and mphA ARGs. Conjugation experiments and plasmid profiling confirmed the plasmid’s transferability. We report a rising trend in third-generation cephalosporin resistance among Shigella spp., primarily driven by the spread of extended-spectrum β-lactamase-producing S. flexneri and the emergence of XDR S. sonnei. These findings underscore the urgent need for strengthened national AMR containment strategies and enhanced international surveillance of cephalosporin-resistant Shigella to mitigate this growing public health threat.

kn-title=High horizontal force and lateral force transmission induced by the twist of the Achilles tendon
en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=
kn-abstract=The Achilles tendon?the largest and strongest of the many tendons in the human body?consists of subtendons arising from each head of the triceps surae. These subtendons run helically and intertwine to form a twisted three-dimensional structure. More than a century has passed since the twisted structure of the Achilles tendon was first described, and numerous studies have investigated its functional morphology. However, it remains unclear how the presence or degree of twist affects the mechanical function of the lower limbs. Here, using finite element models of the Achilles tendon with and without twist, we show that the presence and degree of twist can modulate the forces transmitted from muscle to skeleton in a complex manner. In contrast to the model without twist, the twisted models clearly exhibit anterolaterally directed horizontal forces at the distal end under a simple proximal tensile load. The lateral and anterior components reach approximately 101 N and 63 N, respectively. Furthermore, the twisted structure induces inter-subtendon force transmission, and the magnitude of the transmitted force increases with increasing degree of twist. These results indicate that the uniaxial contractile force generated by the triceps surae is transformed into triaxial forces by the twisted Achilles tendon and is redistributed in a complex three-dimensional manner through inter-subtendon interactions.

en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=
kn-abstract=Although poly(cyclohexene carbonate) (PCHC) synthesized by the copolymerization of cyclohexene oxide (CHO) and CO2 is a promising material, the physical properties of this material need to be altered and tuned for its wider applications. To this end, we employed a terpolymerization strategy increasing the CO2 content in the resulting polymers. Terpolymerization of CHO, oxetane, and CO2 using AlIII porphyrin catalysts with quaternary ammonium halides afforded polycarbonates with high CO2 contents, physical tunability, and enzymatic degradability. The counter anions of the catalysts were crucial factors in the formation of the poly(trimethylene carbonate) (PTMC) unit. 1a with bromide ions preferentially produced trimethylene carbonate (TMC) over PTMC, while 1d with chloride ions suppressed the formation of TMC and produced PCHC?PTMC directly. PCHC?PTMC showed glass transition temperatures (Tg) between 69 °C and ?9 °C, depending on the PCHC/PTMC ratio. The tensile test revealed that the PTMC unit contributed to the softening of the film materials. For example, a film material with a CO2 content of 38 wt% showed 505% elongation at break with an elastic character, which contrasted starkly with the 1.3% elongation at break of PCHC with a CO2 content of 31 wt%. Moreover, the selective degradation of the PTMC unit in PCHC?PTMC was achieved with lipases, and a gradient character in the sequence structure was suggested. Overall, PCHC?PTMC is an environmentally benign and sustainable CO2-based polycarbonate.

kn-title=Students’ perceptions of an electronic one-minute paper in a radiography training programme: An exploratory cross-sectional questionnaire study
en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=
kn-abstract=Introduction: Formative assessment can support health professions education; however, reports on electronic 1-min papers as classroom feedback and engagement tools in radiography programmes remain limited. This study explored radiography students’ perceptions of an electronic 1-min paper, focusing on in-class reflection, ease of asking questions, and instructor feedback.<br>
Methods: An electronic 1-min paper was used in a radiotherapy course across 45 class sessions in the 2024 academic year for third-year students enrolled in a 4-year radiography programme. Each 90-min class comprised a 60-min lecture, 10-min completion of the paper, and 20-min instructor feedback. After the course, a de-identified online questionnaire was administered. Eleven 5-point Likert-scale items were analysed using descriptive statistics and Spearman's rank correlations. Free-text responses were analysed using inductive qualitative content analysis.<br>
Results: Of the 77 eligible students, 74 responded (96.1%). Ease of use received the highest rating (mean, 4.76; standard deviation [SD], 0.52), followed by ease of asking questions (mean, 4.32), question resolution (mean, 4.16), and usefulness of instructor feedback (mean, 4.08). Motivation to review after class was lowest (mean, 3.04; SD, 1.16). Active participation showed a strong positive association with in-class concentration (rs = 0.815; P < 0.001). Free-text responses indicated reflection and improved understanding, anonymous sharing of questions, active listening and concentration, and suggestions for improvement.<br>
Conclusion: The electronic 1-min paper was widely accepted and perceived to support in-class reflection, question expression, and immediate feedback. However, students’ perceptions of its influence on out-of-class review motivation were limited. The findings indicate perceived value and engagement rather than demonstrated educational effectiveness.<br>
Implications for practice: Electronic 1-min papers may help instructors identify students’ questions and respond during class, providing a practical approach to in-class feedback.

en-abstract=
kn-abstract=Defect engineering provides an effective pathway to tune the dielectric response of relaxor ferroelectrics, yet the roles of individual defect species in tungsten bronze (TTB) systems remain unclear. Here, we investigated how engineered Ti?VO?? defect dipoles and native oxygen vacancies introduced through reduction annealing modify the dielectric properties of relaxor (Sr0.5,Ba0.5)Nb2O6 (0.5-SBN). Ti loading forms stable defect dipoles that generate smaller polar nanoregions (PNRs), suppress their overgrowth, and increase the number of dynamically active PNRs at room temperature, leading to enhanced permittivity ε′ while preserving DC-bias stability and breakdown strength (EB). Reduction annealing generates Nb4+-related local polarizations aligned with the external electric field, which strengthen dipole fluctuations and slightly increase ε′. Electron localization further relaxes the TTB-A2 site disorder?induced random fields, yielding a sharper dielectric peak and promoting more uniform PNR growth. Microwave dielectric spectroscopy combined with electromagnetic simulations revealed that the increases in ε′ for both Ti-loaded and reduced samples (0.5-SBNT and Reduced 0.5-SBN, respectively) originate predominantly from enhanced dipole polarization. Despite grain coarsening in 0.5-SBNT, the EB remained unchanged, indicating that defect dipoles act as pinning centers that inhibit field-induced PNR aggregation. In reduced 0.5-SBN, EB increased up to pO0 = 4.3 × 10?3 atm owing to relaxed random fields, whereas excessive reduction reduced EB through carrier-driven space-charge effects. These results demonstrate that precise control of defect species enables simultaneous optimization of ε′, DC-bias stability, and EB in TTB-type relaxor ferroelectrics.

kn-title=Developing and Implementing a Disaster Prevention Game to Enhance Local Understanding
en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=
kn-abstract=This study developed and implemented a local disaster prevention sugoroku-style game to address challenges in preserving and transmitting regional knowledge in areas with high population mobility. Many Japanese communities face both natural and social vulnerabilities, and effective disaster education requires linking hazard knowledge with local characteristics. Conducted at Sonan Junior High School in Okayama, the project combined lectures, workshops, and a community engagement event. Students learned about regional topography, land use, and disaster history and used this knowledge to design quizzes, rules, and disaster scenarios for the game. The final sugoroku set included a map-based board, thematic quiz areas, and preparedness item cards, enabling players to predict damage and consider appropriate actions. After creating the game, students shifted from identifying familiar landmarks to describing concrete disaster impacts such as liquefaction or infrastructure collapse. Interaction with local residents further enriched learning through shared experiences. The model proved feasible in terms of time and cost, and its structure is easily adaptable to other regions by incorporating local information. The findings suggest that this participatory, place-based approach enhances imagination, self-efficacy, and intergenerational knowledge transfer, contributing to community-wide disaster preparedness. Future studies will examine long-term educational impacts and broader regional applications.

kn-title=Similar functional outcomes but different remodeling patterns: A minimum 5-years radiographic comparison of short fit-and-fill stem and quadrangular taper stem
en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=
kn-abstract=Purpose: ACTIS and CORAIL are cementless titanium femoral stems with hydroxyapatite (HA) coating but differing macro-geometries: ACTIS features a variable triple-taper with a medial collar, whereas CORAIL is a straight double-tapered design available with or without a collar. We compared mid-term clinical and radiographic outcomes of these stems with a minimum 5-years follow-up.<br>
Methods: We retrospectively reviewed 114 primary total hip arthroplasties using ACTIS (63 hips) or CORAIL (51 hips). Clinical outcomes and standardized radiographic parameters were assessed and compared between groups.<br>
Results: The canal-fill ratio (CFR) was significantly greater at the proximal, middle, and distal levels in the ACTIS group. Spot-weld formation was more frequent with ACTIS than with CORAIL (58.7% vs 35.3%). In logistic regression, proximal CFR significantly predicted spot-weld formation for ACTIS, with an optimal cutoff of 66.2% (sensitivity 91.9%, specificity 72.0%). Rates of subsidence, radiolucent lines, and pedestal formation did not differ significantly between groups. No severe stress shielding was observed with ACTIS, whereas three CORAIL hips demonstrated severe stress shielding (0% vs 5.9%). Clinical scores improved significantly in both groups, with no significant between-group differences at final follow-up.<br>
Conclusions: Both stems yielded favorable radiographic and clinical mid-term outcomes. In ACTIS, greater proximal canal fill was associated with radiographic osseointegration, suggesting proximal CFR as a probabilistic radiographic marker of stem ingrowth.

kn-title=Performance of the modified 2022 ACR/EULAR giant cell arteritis classification criteria without age restriction for discriminating from Takayasu arteritis
en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=
kn-abstract=Objective To evaluate the ability to discriminate giant cell arteritis (GCA) from Takayasu arteritis (TAK) according to the modified 2022 American College of Rheumatology/European Alliance of Associations for Rheumatology (ACR/EULAR) GCA classification criteria.<br>
Methods Patients enrolled in the Japanese nationwide retrospective registry were evaluated using the criteria with partial modification; wall thickening of descending thoracic-abdominal aorta were mainly diagnosed by contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging instead of evaluating with positron emission tomography (PET)-CT. The discriminability of the criteria was evaluated using C-statistic (>?0.7: good ability).<br>
Results Newly diagnosed patients with GCA (n?=?139) and TAK (n?=?129) were assessed, and 23.3% of TAK were aged 50 years or older at onset. The sensitivity of the modified 2022 ACR/EULAR GCA classification criteria with a score???6 was 82.0%, 68.5%, and 32.1% in all GCA, GCA with large-vessel involvement, and GCA without cranial arteritis, respectively. The specificity of the modified criteria was 96.1% for the 129 TAK as controls. Five patients with late-onset TAK met the modified criteria, and four had cranial signs and symptoms, two had bilateral axillary artery involvement, and four had descending thoracic-abdominal aorta involvement. The discriminability of the criteria was good (C-statistic: 0.986, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.976?0.996) and remained good after excluding age (C-statistic: 0.927, 95% CI: 0.894?0.961). The discriminability of a set of large-vessel lesions (bilateral axillary artery and descending thoracic-abdominal aorta) and inflammatory markers was markedly decreased with poor C-statistic value (C-statistic: 0.598, 95% CI: 0.530?0.667). Discriminability was improved after adding polymyalgia rheumatica (PMR) (C-statistic: 0.757, 95% CI: 0.700?0.813) or age (C-statistic: 0.913, 95%CI: 0.874?0.951) to the set of large-vessel lesions. In GCA patients with a score???5, 52% had bilateral subclavian and/or axillary artery involvement.<br>
Conclusion The modified 2022 ACR/EULAR GCA classification criteria well performed in classifying GCA and TAK without PET-CT in routine clinical practice. A set of items included in the modified GCA classification criteria had good discriminative ability for GCA and TAK, even when age was excluded. However, age restriction or PMR was required to distinguish GCA without cranial lesions from TAK.

kn-abstract=We calculate the false-vacuum decay rate in 1D quantum mechanics on the basis of the saddle-point approximation in the Euclidean path integral at finite temperature. The saddle points are the finite-T and shifted bounce solutions, which are finite-period analogs of the (zero-temperature) bounce solution, and the shot solutions. We reexamine the zero-temperature result by Callan and Coleman and compare it with the zero-temperature limit of our results. We also perform some numerical calculations to illustrate the temperature dependence of the decay rate and compare it with the result by Affleck.

kn-title=Nitric oxide induces p53-mediated cell death in human nasal epithelial cells
en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=
kn-abstract=Nitric oxide (NO) is a key signaling molecule that plays a vital role in maintaining homeostasis of physiological processes such as immune responses and neurotransmission. However, excessive NO production during inflammatory responses to infection can lead to cytotoxicity and tissue damage. The nasal epithelial barrier is a crucial first line of immunological defense against viral infections, and it is likely exposed to excessive NO levels during chronic inflammation. Therefore, clarifying the effects of NO on this barrier is thus critical. In this study, we investigated the biological effects of sustained NO exposure on RPMI2650 human nasal epithelial cells. Post-NO exposure transcriptomic analyses revealed significant upregulation of genes involved in the p53 signaling pathway. RT-qPCR analyses confirmed the temporal upregulation of p53 target genes associated with apoptosis and cell cycle regulation. These gene expression changes downregulated cell proliferation and induced cell death. Our findings suggest that excessive NO exposure induces nasal epithelial cell death via the p53 pathway, which over the long term can result in tissue damage and dysfunction under inflammatory conditions. These results provide new insights into how prolonged NO exposure affects the nasal epithelial cells and may contribute to the progression of chronic infectious diseases.

kn-title=Effects of heat stress on gene expression associated with antioxidant capacity of bovine early antral follicles
en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=
kn-abstract=Heat exposure at the physiological level of oocyte-cumulus-granulosa cell complexes (OCGCs) during in vitro growth (IVG) culture decreases the reduced glutathione (GSH) level of oocytes, an antioxidant, but its mechanism has been unclear. We subjected OCGCs to IVG for 4, 8, or 12 days and investigated the effects of heat exposure on the gene expression of cumulus-granulosa cells associated with antioxidant capacity. Heat exposure did not alter the expression of genes related to GSH synthesis or reuse. Conversely, heat exposure increased mRNA expression of superoxide dismutase 2 and decreased that of glutathione peroxidase 1, which are antioxidant enzymes. Ultimately, heat exposure alters the gene expression of antioxidant enzymes in growing follicles, which may indirectly decrease the GSH level of oocytes.

en-abstract=
kn-abstract=Protective effect of quercetin against acetaldehyde was evaluated using the cultured hepatocyte models with aldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH) isozyme deficiency (aldh2-kd and aldh1a1-kd). The quercetin-induced cytoprotection against acetaldehyde in the ALDH1A1-deficient mutant (aldh1a1-kd) was weaker than that in the wild type. Furthermore, quercetin did not enhance the ALDH activity in aldh1a1-kd cells, suggesting that ALDH1A1 is involved in quercetin-induced cytoprotection.

kn-title=Global well-posedness and scattering in weighted space for nonlinear Schr?dinger equations below the Strauss exponent without gauge-invariance
en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=
kn-abstract=In this paper, we consider the nonlinear Schr?dinger equation (NLS) with a general homogeneous nonlinearity in dimensions up to three. We assume that the degree (i.e., power) of the nonlinearity is such that the equation is mass-subcritical and short-range. We establish global well-posedness (GWP) and scattering for small data in the standard weighted space for a class of homogeneous nonlinearities, including non-gauge-invariant ones. Additionally, we include the case where the degree is less than or equal to the Strauss exponent. When the nonlinearity is not gauge-invariant, the standard Duhamel formulation fails to work effectively in the weighted Sobolev space; for instance, the Duhamel term may not be well-defined as a Bochner integral. To address this issue, we introduce an alternative formulation that allows us to establish GWP and scattering, even in the presence of poor time continuity of the Duhamel term.

kn-title=Acceleration of Positive Muons by a Radio-Frequency Cavity
en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=
kn-abstract=Acceleration of positive muons from thermal energy to 100 keV has been demonstrated. Thermal muons were generated by resonant multiphoton ionization of muonium atoms emitted from a sheet of laser-ablated aerogel. The thermal muons were first electrostatically accelerated to 5.7 keV, followed by further acceleration to 100 keV using a radio-frequency quadrupole with an intensity of 2×10?3???+/pulse. The transverse normalized rms emittance of the accelerated muons in the horizontal and vertical planes were 0.85±0.25?(s?t?a?t)+0.22?0.13?(syst)??????mm?mrad and 0.32±0.03?(stat)+0.05?0.02?(syst)?????mm?mrad, respectively. The measured emittance values demonstrated phase-space reduction by a factor of 2.0 ×102 (horizontal) and 4.1 ×102 (vertical) allowing good acceleration efficiency. These results pave the way to realize the first-ever muon accelerator for a variety of applications in particle physics, material science, and other fields.

kn-title=Knockout of tusA confers cationic antimicrobial resistance via fur and omp genes in Escherichia coli
en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=
kn-abstract=tRNA 2-thiouridine synthesizing protein A (TusA), a sulfur-carrier protein, plays a crucial role in tRNA sulfur modification. Several studies have reported that tusA deficiency affects iron?sulfur (Fe?S) homeostasis in addition to tRNA sulfur modification, resulting in pleiotropic phenotypes. In this study, we analyzed the phenotype of tusA-deficient Escherichia coli and its underlying mechanisms. Although the Keio tusA knockout strain showed increased swimming motility and flagellar biosynthesis, these phenotypes were not restored by tusA complementation. Genome resequencing of the original Keio tusA knockout strain identified an unintended secondary mutation in lrhA, a transcriptional regulator of flagellar and chemotaxis genes. This secondary mutation impaired lrhA function, contributing to enhanced flagellar synthesis and swimming motility, as well as altered global gene expression. A tusA knockout strain in which the secondary mutation was corrected (ΔtusA) exhibited reduced swimming motility compared with the wild-type strain, despite showing no abnormalities in flagellar formation. Furthermore, ΔtusA displayed increased resistance to cationic antibacterial agents, including cetyltrimethylammonium bromide, cetylpyridinium chloride, and protamine sulfate. The reduced motility caused by tusA deletion was observed independently of Fur, a global regulator of iron homeostasis, whereas resistance to cationic antibacterial agents was abolished in the fur knockout background. In addition, altered expression of outer membrane protein (omp) genes was observed in ΔtusA, and deletion of these omp genes abolished resistance to cationic antibacterial agents. Together, these results indicate that, by disentangling the phenotypic effects of tusA deletion from those of the unintended secondary mutation, loss of tusA confers resistance to cationic antibacterial agents through a Fur-dependent and Omp-dependent mechanism.

kn-abstract=本研究は、加齢に伴う変化の認識（Awareness of Age-Related Change: AARC）、主観的幸福感（Subjective Well-Being:SWB）、および心理的ストレスの縦断的関係の検討を行った。AARC は、ライフスパン発達理論に基づき、心理的適応に重要な役割を果たすとされる。先行研究ではAARC と幸福感の関連が報告されているが、多くは横断研究であり、時間的方向性を考慮した検討は不十分である。そこで本研究では、日本の40 歳以上の成人585 名を対象に、AARC 短縮版（AARC-10 SF）、人生満足度尺度（SWLS）、心理的ストレス尺度（K6）を用いて、2 時点（2022 年7 月、2023 年10 月）でオンライン調査を実施した。交差遅延効果モデルの分析の結果、AARC-gains とSWLS の間に双方向の関連が認められ、AARC-gains が高い人ほど後の主観的幸福感が高く、その逆も成立することが示された。一方、心理的ストレスはAARC-losses に対して一方向の関連が確認され、ストレスが高い人ほど後のAARC-losses が高いことが示された。これらの結果は、ライフスパン発達理論の枠組みと整合し、加齢に伴う適応過程の理解を深めるものである。介入においては、AARC-gains を促進し幸福感を高めることが高齢者のサクセスフル・エイジングに寄与する可能性がある。

kn-title=Whole-genome-based characterization of Escherichia albertii strains isolated from paediatric diarrhoeal cases in Kolkata, India
en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=
kn-abstract=Escherichia albertii is a Gram-negative facultative anaerobic bacterium that causes diarrhoea in humans. This study shows the isolation of E. albertii from hospitalized paediatric diarrhoeal cases and genome-based characteristics with putative virulence factors and antimicrobial resistance. E. albertii isolates were identified by species-specific PCR, targeting the gene encoding cytolethal distending toxin (Ea-cdt). The genome of E. albertii was sequenced to identify (i) genes encoding virulence factors (ii) antibiotic resistance-encoding genes, including the mobile genetic elements and (iii) core gene-based phylogenetic relationships and pan-genome features. A total of 10 (1.2%) E. albertii isolates were isolated from 854 faecal samples, of which 6 (60%) were found as the sole pathogen and the remaining 4 (40%) were identified along with other pathogens, such as enteroaggregative Escherichia coli, rotavirus and adenovirus. Patients from whom E. albertii was isolated presented cholera-like diarrhoea, i.e. with watery stool (60%) with moderate dehydration (100%), fever (20%) and abdominal pain (20%). The antimicrobial susceptibility testing of E. albertii showed that most of the isolates were susceptible or reduced susceptible to most of the antibiotics except resistance to erythromycin (80%), tetracycline (50%), nalidixic acid (40%), ampicillin (40%), doxycycline (30%) and ceftriaxone (20%). In the whole-genome sequence, E. albertii isolates revealed several virulence-encoding genes, namely the intimin (eae, E. coli attaching and effacing), the cytolethal distending toxin type II subunit A (cdt-IIA), adhesion (paa, porcine attaching- and effacing-associated), non-LEE (locus of enterocyte effacement) encoded effector A (nleA) and antimicrobial resistance genes (ARGs) conferring resistance to tetracycline (tetA, tetR), sulphonamides (sul2), fluoroquinolones (qnrS) and beta-lactamases (blaCTX-M, blaTEM). The SNP-based phylogenetic analysis of 647 whole genomes of E. albertii isolates from the National Center for Biotechnology Information databases did not reveal any comparable clustering pattern based on the biological source and place of isolation. The genome of some of the E. albertii was closely related to those of the isolates from China and the United Kingdom. The PFGE patterns revealed that most of the E. albertii isolates were distinct clones. This study reports on the extensive genome analysis of diarrhoea-associated E. albertii harbouring multiple virulence and ARGs.

en-subtitle=

en-abstract=
kn-abstract=We performed electrical conductivity measurements of rhyolite glasses across the glass transition temperature at 1 GPa. Our experimental data show that, in the Arrhenius plot, the conductivity of rhyolite with 0.2 wt% H2O has an inflection point between around 760 K, while for rhyolite with 4.9 wt% H2O the gradient changes between 685 and 825 K. These inflection points correlate with the glass transition temperature, and are compared with results of previous experiments. The degree of welding of clastic and hydrous rock can be constrained by estimating glass transition temperatures of volcanic rocks combined with measurements of electrical conductivity structures obtained from electromagnetic soundings beneath volcanic bodies. This, in turn, can be used to aid predictions of volcanic eruption.

Thioredoxin (Trx), encoded by Txn1, is a redox-active protein that plays a central role in controlling oxidative stress and maintaining intracellular redox homeostasis.<br>
Methods: To address this gap, we investigated the lifelong phenotypes of Txn1-F54L mutant rats harboring approximately one-third of the normal Trx activity. These rats were generated via N-ethyl-N-nitrosourea mutagenesis and validated by clustered regularly interspaced palindromic repeat (CRISPR)/CRISPR-associated protein 9 genome editing. Comprehensive analyses included biochemical testing, histopathology, immunohistochemistry, transmission electron microscopy, RNA-sequencing, western blotting, and cytokine profiling.<br>
Results: Txn1-F54L mutant rats spontaneously developed progressive CKD, with median survival times of 110?119 days for homozygotes and 303?346 days for heterozygotes. Their clinical features?elevated blood urea nitrogen, hypoalbuminemia, hypercholesterolemia, hypertension, and arterial medial sclerosis?closely resembled those of human CKD. Histopathological evaluation revealed extensive tubular injury, interstitial fibrosis, and glomerulosclerosis. Transcriptomic profiling identified 3,418 differentially expressed genes significantly enriched in immune activation and fibrosis pathways. Mitochondrial dysfunction was prominent in proximal tubules, accompanied by oxidative stress accumulation and concurrent activation of regulated cell death pathways (apoptosis, necroptosis, and pyroptosis). Elevated serum levels of interleukin-1β, interleukin-6, and interferon-γ indicated systemic inflammation.<br>
Conclusions: Our findings demonstrate that lifelong Trx deficiency induces oxidative stress?mediated mitochondrial dysfunction and regulated cell death, leading to inflammation and progressive CKD. This study establishes the Txn1 mutant rat as a valuable spontaneous CKD model, providing translational insights and a platform for developing therapeutic strategies targeting oxidative stress?induced pathways.

kn-title=Reducing Hesitation in Resuscitation: Educational Effects of a Female-Appearing Simulator in Basic Life Support Training
en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=
kn-abstract=Women are less likely than men to receive timely defibrillation during out-of-hospital cardiac arrest. We investigated whether using a simulator that is visually modified to resemble a female affects learners’ attitudes, knowledge, and performance in basic life support (BLS) training. In a BLS simulation training, first-year medical students (n=220) used a standard gender-neutral simulator (control group) or a modified simulator with a female-like appearance (intervention group). Pre- and post-training questionnaires concerning attitudes and knowledge plus a post-training skills evaluation assessed the students’ training outcomes. The intervention group initiated chest compressions significantly faster than the control group (33.1 vs. 39.8 sec, p<0.01) and achieved a significantly higher rate of correct AED pad placement (64.2% vs. 38.5%, p<0.01). While performing the resuscitation on the female-appearing manikin, the intervention group showed significantly greater increases in self-efficacy (p<0.01) and larger decreases in discomfort about removing the patient’s clothes (p<0.01). They were also significantly more likely to recognize that chest compressions can be performed (p=0.016) and AED pads can be applied (p=0.015) without removing the patient’s underwear. Using a female-appearing simulator in BLS training was thus associated with faster chest compression initiation, more accurate AED pad placement, and improved gender-sensitive attitudes and knowledge.

en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=
kn-abstract=The association between peripheral blood T-cell receptor (TCR) repertoire and chemotherapy response remains unclear. We evaluated peripheral blood TCR repertoire and gut microbiota in 21 breast cancer patients receiving neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) who were enrolled in the SBP-14 prospective cohort study between October 2019 and March 2022. We analyzed stool samples obtained pre-NAC and peripheral blood samples obtained pre- and post-NAC. The primary endpoint was the association between baseline peripheral blood TCR repertoire and treatment response. Eleven patients (52%) had hormone receptor-positive breast cancer. All patients received anthracyclines and taxanes, with anti-HER2 therapy for HER2-positive disease. TCR diversity (TCR alpha chain [TRA], p=0.095; TCR beta chain [TRB], p=0.051) and clonality (TRA, p=0.271; TRB, p=0.500) were not significantly associated with treatment response. Gut microbiota diversity was not correlated with TCR diversity (TRA: ρ=0.046, p=0.845; TRB: ρ=0.021, p=0.929); however, three bacterial orders (Erysipelotrichales, Bacillales, and Pasteurellales) were significantly associated with TCR repertoire. Baseline TCR repertoire was not associated with treatment response in this cohort of breast cancer patients.

kn-title=Self-Reported Adolescent Menstrual Symptoms and Delayed Gynecologic Consultation among Japanese Women with Endometriosis
en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=
kn-abstract=Endometriosis symptoms often first appear during adolescence, yet delays in seeking gynecologic consultation remain a persistent challenge worldwide. Despite growing international evidence, the specific patterns of symptom recognition and consultation delay among Japanese women ? particularly in relation to self-monitoring behaviors and cultural barriers ? remain poorly understood. This study aimed to provide foundational data to guide menstrual education and preconception care strategies by conducting a cross-sectional online survey with retrospective recall among women with endometriosis to assess menstrual characteristics and symptom patterns from adolescence to initial care seeking. The survey was conducted in Japan in January 2024 and enrolled 166 women with endometriosis and 200 controls. Participants reported current and adolescent menstrual characteristics, symptom recognition, analgesic and low-dose estrogen?progestin use, school/work impact, and age at first gynecologic consultation for menstrual problems. Women with endometriosis reported heavier bleeding, stronger pain, and greater school/work absence than controls, both currently and retrospectively. The median age at first recognition of heavy bleeding or school/work absence was 16 years, whereas consultation occurred at approximately 21-23 years, indicating a consultation delay of 5-6 years. Notably, while self-monitoring of symptoms was more frequent among women with endometriosis, it only modestly shortened consultation delays. This study provides evidence from Japan that consultation delay persists despite active self-monitoring of symptoms, highlighting the influence of educational and cultural barriers on health-seeking behavior. These findings underscore the importance of integrating menstrual education with clinical guidance to promote timely gynecologic consultation.

kn-title=Characteristics of cross-modal negative BOLD responses in the human sensory subcortex and cortex
en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=
kn-abstract=Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) is a noninvasive method for measuring human brain activity based on blood oxygenation level-dependent (BOLD) responses. Although many studies have reported positive BOLD responses evoked by sensory stimuli, others have reported negative BOLD responses (NBRs) in the sensory cortex when stimuli from different sensory modalities are presented (i.e., cross-modal NBRs). We conducted an fMRI experiment to better understand the characteristics of cross-modal NBRs in subcortical and cortical regions. Auditory and visual stimuli were presented unilaterally to one ear and to either the left or right visual field, respectively. The lateral geniculate nucleus and medial geniculate nucleus did not show a significant cross-modal NBR. In contrast, the primary auditory cortex showed a significant cross-modal NBR when visual stimuli were presented in either the contralateral or ipsilateral visual fields. Finally, we found that the cross-modal NBR in the early visual cortex was highly variable across subjects and did not exhibit consistent trends. However, each subject’s data exhibited considerable split-half reliability. Our results suggest that cross-modal NBR in the auditory cortex likely reflects mechanisms such as interhemispheric suppression, rather than those coordinated within the same hemisphere.<br>
NEW & NOTEWORTHY This study demonstrated that the human primary auditory cortex showed a significant cross-modal negative BOLD response bilaterally, regardless of the visual field in which the visual stimuli were presented. This result suggests that the cross-modal negative BOLD response is not an epiphenomenon of visual cortex activation predominantly observed in the contralateral hemisphere, but is more likely to reflect interhemispheric suppression mechanisms.

en-subtitle=

en-abstract=
kn-abstract=Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)-mutant non-small-cell lung cancers (NSCLCs) lack effective immunotherapy due to a noninflamed tumor microenvironment (TME). We previously reported that EGFR tyrosine-kinase-inhibitor (TKI) induced CD8+ T-cell immunity, which was insufficient for tumor eradication. We evaluated the potential of combining EGFR-TKI with stimulator of interferon genes (STING) agonists in activating a systemic antitumor response. Using a syngeneic mouse model of genetically engineered Egfr-mutant NSCLC, we evaluated the antitumor effects of STING agonist ADU-S100, alone and combined with osimertinib. Immunohistochemistry and flow cytometry were used to assess the TME. Osimertinib alone enhanced CD8+ T-cell infiltration but not Natural Killer (NK) cell infiltration. ADU-S100 injection alone modestly suppressed tumor growth with increasing CD8+/NK cell infiltration in the TME, but lacked an abscopal effect. Combining ADU-S100 with osimertinib significantly enhanced the antitumor effects and CD8+/NK cell infiltration. Depletion of either CD8+ or NK cells reduced the combination effect. Crucially, the combination induced an abscopal effect accompanied by PD-1+/CD8+ cell infiltration. Combining osimertinib with a STING agonist augmented innate and adaptive immunity, inducing systemic antitumor responses in EGFR-mutant NSCLC.

kn-title=Structural insights into YheS-mediated release of SecM-arrested ribosome
en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=
kn-abstract=ATP-binding cassette subfamily F (ABCF) proteins interact with the ribosome to resolve translation defects near the peptidyl transferase center (PTC). In Escherichia coli, four ABCF proteins (EttA, Uup, YbiT, and YheS) selectively promote translation of distinct problematic nascent peptide sequences, but their molecular mechanisms remain unclear. Here, we present a 2.8?? cryo-EM structure of the ribosome in complex with an ATPase-deficient mutant of YheS and investigate how it releases ribosomes arrested by the SecM nascent chain. YheS binds to the ribosomal E-site via the L1 stalk, and its P-site tRNA-interaction motif (PtIM) extends toward the PTC, displacing the CCA end of the P-site tRNA. Notably, the cryo-EM density corresponding to the SecM nascent chain within the exit tunnel is largely lost upon YheS binding. These observations suggest that YheS relieves peptide sequence-dependent stalling by perturbing nascent chain-tunnel interactions through P-site tRNA relocation. Steered molecular dynamics simulations provide qualitative support for this model. Together, our findings provide mechanistic insight into a mode of arrest release distinct from the translocon-mediated release mechanism.

kn-title=Computer‐Aided Sperm Analysis Protocol for Evaluating Sperm Motility in Japanese Medaka
en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=
kn-abstract=Changes in sperm motility can serve as an early indicator of reproductive effects caused by environmental chemicals or genetic perturbations. However, sperm motility is highly sensitive to external factors such as osmolarity, ionic composition, and the timing of measurement after activation, making it challenging to obtain consistent and reproducible measurements. Here, we present a standardized protocol for assessing sperm motility in Japanese medaka (Oryzias latipes) using a sperm motility analysis system (SMAS), an application for computer-aided sperm motility analysis (CASA). This protocol details the procedures for sperm collection, activation, and quantitative motility assessment, with particular focus on changes in the percentage of motile sperm post activation and the effects of sperm cryopreservation. We demonstrate time-dependent declines in sperm motility and velocity, and highlight the importance of early post-activation measurements to accurately capture peak motility. Notably, cryopreservation significantly accelerated the decline in sperm motility rate without affecting the initial proportion of motile sperm. To enable reliable comparisons among experimental groups, we recommend standardizing the initiation time after sperm activation by using CASA, and show that measurements should be initiated within 1?min after activation to obtain consistent and reliable data. This standardized SMAS-based protocol provides a robust and reproducible framework for sperm motility analysis in medaka and will be valuable not only for studies in reproductive biology, toxicology, and environmental risk assessment but also for applied research, such as breeding of aquacultural fishes.

kn-title=Elucidation of mechanisms underlying the therapeutic effects of cordycepin on pulmonary hypertension, with a focus on cell senescence and gut microbiota
en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=
kn-abstract=Introduction: Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is a progressive cardiopulmonary disorder characterized by excessive pulmonary vascular remodeling and aberrant proliferation of pulmonary artery smooth muscle cells (PASMCs). Emerging evidence suggests that gut microbiota dysbiosis contributes to PH development. Cordycepin, a natural adenosine analogue derived from Cordyceps militaris, has demonstrated antiproliferative and microbiota-modulating properties; however, its mechanism of action in PH remains unclear.<br>
Objective: Elucidate the mechanisms underlying the therapeutic effects of cordycepin on PH, focusing on cellular senescence and gut microbiota.<br>
Methods: The effects of cordycepin on PH pathology were investigated by transcriptome analysis of PASMCs from patients, and metagenomic analysis of rodent PH models. Cellular senescence was analyzed in lung tissue from p16Ink4a-CreERT2 reporter mice and in rat bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMDMs).<br>
Results: RNA sequencing analysis revealed activation of p53 signaling by cordycepin in PASMCs. Cordycepin suppressed CDK1 expression and TERT phosphorylation at threonine 249. It ameliorated vascular and cardiac remodeling in PH rat and mouse models. Cordycepin induced M1-like macrophage senescence in p16 Ink4a reporter mice lungs and rat BMDMs. Cordycepin significantly reshaped the gut microbiota, increasing beneficial genera (e.g. Alistipes and Acetatifactor) and reducing proinflammatory taxa (e.g., Ruminococcus), with modulating key metabolic pathways, including short-chain fatty acid, tryptophan, and vitamin K2 metabolism.<br>
Conclusion: Cordycepin exerts multi-target therapeutic effects in PH by inhibiting PASMC proliferation via the p53?CDK1/pTERT axis, modulating gut microbiota-linked immunometabolism and induces proinflammatory macrophage senescence. These findings support cordycepin as a promising candidate for PH therapies targeting the vascular, immune, and gut?lung axes.

kn-title=Decreased renal function predicts severe cytokine release syndrome after CAR-T-cell therapy for large B-cell lymphoma
en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=
kn-abstract=Cytokine release syndrome (CRS) remains a major toxicity of chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy in large B-cell lymphoma (LBCL), and robust pre-infusion predictors are needed for risk-adapted management. We retrospectively analysed LBCL patients in the Japanese nationwide registry who underwent CD19 CAR-T-cell therapy between 2019 and 2024. Among 900 patients (median age 62?years), cumulative incidences of CRS within 30?days after infusion were 75.0% for any grade, 20.8% for grade???2 and 14.0% for grade???3. In multivariable analysis, lower estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) (adjusted hazard ratio [aHR] 1.108 per 10?mL/min per 1.73?m2 decrease; 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.015?1.209; p?=?0.022), higher ferritin (aHR 1.006 per 100?ng/mL; 95% CI 1.001?1.010; p?=?0.016), C-reactive protein (CRP) (aHR 1.142 per mg/dL; 95% CI 1.091?1.195; p?<?0.001) and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) (aHR 1.073 per 100?U/L; 95% CI 1.008?1.142; p?=?0.028) independently predicted grade???2 CRS. We then built a four-factor CRS pre-infusion risk evaluation model, cytokine release syndrome-pre-infusion risk evaluation (CRS-PRE), that stratified grade???2 CRS risk into low, intermediate and high groups with incidences of 2.8%, 26.0% and 50.0% respectively. Decreased eGFR, a surrogate of host renal reserve, with elevated ferritin, CRP and LDH emerged as predictors of high-grade CRS. The CRS-PRE may facilitate risk-adapted monitoring and intervention in clinical practice.

kn-title=Barriers and facilitators for online genetic care for hereditary cancer in Japan: findings from surveys of both clients and medical professionals
en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=
kn-abstract=Background Online genetic care can offer a promising solution to the shortage of qualified medical professionals in genetic medicine, which leads to regional disparities in access. However, despite global adoption, its use in Japan remains limited.<br>
Methods Two questionnaire surveys were conducted to investigate potential needs and barriers regarding online genetic care: one involving 858 medical professionals (738 physicians and 120 genetic counselors or nurses), and the other involving 443 clients who received in-person genetic counseling.<br>
Results Only 14.0% of the medical professionals had experience with online genetic care, although 85.9% of the professionals engaged in cancer genetics were willing to consider providing it in the future. Notably, a discrepancy was found regarding hospital selection: clients prioritized access to specialized medical care, whereas professionals assumed clients valued accessibility for family members. Professionals expressed greater concerns about adequacy of online communication, client environments and internet security. Among clients, 89.1% estimated they would sufficiently understand and accept total content of counseling session if were conducted online. Older age and infrequent internet use were associated with lower acceptance and higher anxiety regarding online methods. Concerns about ability to use the necessary technology affected clients’ willingness to encourage online care for their relatives.<br>
Conclusion Online genetic care shows high potential for client acceptance and can effectively address regional disparities in Japan. To bridge the gap between client needs and professional perceptions and to overcome the digital divide, it is necessary to develop secure, accessible systems and provide education for both patients and healthcare providers.

en-subtitle=

en-abstract=
kn-abstract=The prediction of the Madden?Julian Oscillation (MJO), a massive tropical weather event with global socio-economic impacts, has been infamously difficult with physics-based weather prediction models. We employ the reservoir computing, a brain-inspired machine-learning technique, to construct a machine learning model that forecasts the real-time multivariate MJO index (RMM), a macroscopic variable that represents the state of the MJO. The training data was refined by development of a novel real-time band-pass filter that extracts the recurrency of MJO signals only from the past raw atmospheric data, and by selection of a suitable time-delay coordinate of the RMM that enhances the recurrency of the input data. The constructed model demonstrated the skill to forecast the time sequence of the RMM for a month from pre-developmental stages of the MJO. Examination of best-performing cases suggested that RMM sequences may be predicted for over two months in some cases. These results imply that inherent predictability limit of the MJO is longer than that has been estimated from physics-based weather prediction models.

kn-title=Hydrogen-lean two-stage upgrading of highly acidic palm acid oil via decoupled acid reduction and deoxygenation
en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=
kn-abstract=Upgrading highly acidic waste lipids into liquid hydrocarbons under limited hydrogen availability remains challenging due to catalyst deactivation, excessive cracking, and poor process stability. Palm acid oil (PAO), characterized by extremely high free fatty acid content, represents a particularly demanding feedstock. This study proposes a hydrogen-lean two-stage upgrading strategy that decouples acid value (AV) reduction from hydrocarbon formation through staged reactor operation. In the first stage, batch pretreatment under low hydrogen pressure (initial 0.1 MPa) enabled rapid apparent AV reduction. However, increasing temperature promoted thermally driven degradation, highlighting intrinsic limitations of single-stage severity intensification. Methanol-assisted pretreatment further decreased AV mainly through esterification and formation of oxygenated intermediates. In the second stage, hydrogen-free fixed-bed upgrading over oxide-based catalysts exhibited a distinct operating window near 365 °C, where stable condensed liquid recoveries of 50?60 wt% were obtained. Deoxygenation proceeded predominantly via decarbonylation/decarboxylation pathways. Among the catalysts investigated, ZrO??Co showed superior stability and lower residual AV. Overall, reactor staging enabled AV reductions exceeding 90% within 1.5?2 h while maintaining stable liquid recovery, demonstrating an effective upgrading strategy for highly acidic waste lipids under hydrogen-lean conditions.

kn-title=Optical spectroscopic evaluation on the acquisition of optimal sonication temperature for efficient liquid phase exfoliation of molybdenum disulfide
en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=
kn-abstract=This work investigates how the sonication temperature affects the liquid phase exfoliation of MoS? using optical and morphological approach in attempt to acquire an optimal temperature for such process at ambient room conditions. In an ultrasonic bath, exfoliation was carried out at six different temperatures. UV-Vis, FTIR, Raman spectroscopy and SEM characterizations reveal that moderate room temperature range yield excellent results producing well-dispersed flakes with strong excitonic properties with mild oxidation. Higher temperatures cause substantial oxidation, deterioration and restacking while lower temperatures led to insufficient exfoliation and fragmented morphologies because of insufficient cavitation energy. The findings highlight the importance of temperature control in producing high quality nanosheets for scalable applications.

kn-title=Programmable Clock Distribution Using Switching Matrices for Field Programmable Gate Arrays
en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=
kn-abstract=Every digital systems using very large scale integration require clock distributions, for which a dedicated clock tree or a mesh clock is frequently used. Field programmable gate arrays have numerous general-purpose programmable wires based on switching matrices to connect the outputs and inputs of look-up tables and input?output ports. However, field programmable gate arrays never use numerous general-purpose programmable wires for their clock distributions to satisfy the clock skew margin similarly to very large scale integrations. Field programmable gate arrays also use dedicated clock trees, although their programmability is not high. Currently, field programmable gate arrays can support multiple dedicated clock routing or multiple clock trees. Unfortunately, the number of clock trees is fixed. They remain limited to a small number. Even if an application requires many clock distributions, such a clock distribution cannot be supported in current field programmable gate arrays. This paper therefore presents a proposal of a more flexible clock distribution method based on wiring channels and switching matrices. The method uses general-purpose programmable wires. In addition, to resolve clock skew increase difficulties, we have introduced a new flip-flop with a two-phase clock signal. This paper presents simulation results obtained using the proposed clock distribution method on an originally designed field programmable gate array. In addition, experimentally obtained results indicate that the proposed clock distribution method can function correctly on a Cyclone V field programmable gate array.

kn-title=Bortezomib Induces Apoptosis via Upregulation of Abhd4 in Peripheral Nerve Cells
en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=
kn-abstract=Bortezomib, a first-in-class proteasome inhibitor, is widely used to treat multiple myeloma and other hematological malignancies. Despite its therapeutic efficacy, bortezomib causes peripheral neuropathy (PN) in approximately 20?30% of patients, often leading to dose reduction or discontinuation. Preventive or therapeutic approaches to bortezomib-induced PN are currently unavailable, as its precise mechanism remains unclear. In this study, we compared the effects of bortezomib and the second-generation proteasome inhibitor carfilzomib on peripheral nerve cells to identify candidate molecules involved in PN development. Transcriptome profiling of differentiated F11 cells, a hybridoma of a rat embryonic dorsal root ganglion and mouse neuroblastoma cell line N18TG2, revealed that bortezomib selectively upregulated α/β-hydrolase containing domain 4 (Abhd4), whereas carfilzomib did not. This finding was confirmed by quantitative RT-PCR and immunoblotting, which demonstrated consistent increases in Abhd4 mRNA and protein levels following bortezomib treatment. Functional analysis further revealed that Abhd4 overexpression promoted early apoptosis, suggesting a mechanistic link between bortezomib-induced Abhd4 elevation and neuronal vulnerability. Therefore, these results suggest that Abhd4 represents a candidate molecular signature associated with bortezomib-induced PN. Although further in vivo validation is needed, these findings warrant further investigation of Abhd4 as a potential contributor to bortezomib-induced PN.

kn-title=Survey to Document the Adverse Reactions After Human Papillomavirus Vaccination Among Japanese Female Youth at a University
en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=
kn-abstract=Aim: Concerns about possible adverse events remain a critical barrier in implementing human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination among Japanese youth. This study aimed to understand the time course of adverse events experienced by HPV vaccine recipients.<br>
Methods: An online questionnaire survey was given to students, faculty, and staff aged 18?26?years, at Okayama University Hospital, who received the HPV vaccine. The survey gathered information on the number of HPV vaccine doses received, prevaccination health conditions, adverse reactions within 2?h and between 2?h and 7?days postvaccination, menstrual irregularities after vaccination, reasons for getting vaccinated, feelings before and after vaccination, and factors providing reassurance during vaccination. Prevalence of symptoms was expressed as numbers and percentages, and analyses were performed using Chi-squared or Fisher's exact tests.<br>
Results: Responses were obtained from 299 participants, yielding a 75% response rate. Approximately 60% participants reported local pain, 30% swelling, and 4% fever. Most symptoms resolved on the vaccination day itself or the following day, although some persisted for 3?7?days. Over 80% participants rated their pain between 0 and 3 on numerical rating scale of 0?10. While 60% experienced anxiety before vaccination, 90% reported no anxiety afterward.<br>
Conclusions: Our study presents one of the first comprehensive accounts of post-HPV vaccination adverse events and their time course, and underpins the importance of disseminating detailed information about vaccine-associated adverse reactions to encourage greater vaccine uptake.

kn-title=Community health worker-supported oral health promotion in low- and middle-income countries: a scoping review of roles, interventions, and outcomes
en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=
kn-abstract=Background Oral diseases are among the most prevalent conditions worldwide and disproportionately affect populations in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). The shortage and maldistribution of the oral health workforce have widened inequalities in prevention and treatment. Task-sharing through community health workers (CHWs) has been promoted as a cost-effective and sustainable strategy for extending services to underserved populations; however, evidence on their roles in oral health promotion in LMICs remains fragmented. This scoping review mapped evidence on CHW-supported oral health promotion and identified common roles, interventions, and system-level challenges.<br>
Methods A comprehensive search was conducted in PubMed, CINAHL, CENTRAL, and Google Scholar, using keywords and MeSH terms related to “community health workers,” “oral health,” and LMICs, based on the EPOC LMIC filter of the World Bank’s classifications. No publication date restrictions were applied, and gray literature was included. The review followed the Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) methodology for scoping reviews and was reported in accordance with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses Extension for Scoping Reviews (PRISMA-ScR) guidelines. Data were charted on CHW characteristics, roles, target populations, oral conditions addressed, and implementation challenges, and synthesized narratively. This protocol was registered on Open Science Forum (https://doi.org/10.17605/OSF.IO/NZPHA).<br>
Results Thirty-two studies from 11 LMICs were included, approximately half from India. The evidence mapped a wide range of CHW roles and interventions, most commonly focusing on oral cancer screening, followed by dental caries prevention and periodontal care. CHWs were involved in home visits, education, screening, basic treatment, and referrals. Some programs integrate mobile health (mHealth) tools for remote diagnosis. System-level challenges were variably reported across settings, including inadequate infrastructure, fragmented referral systems, limited supervision, and constrained career development opportunities for CHWs.<br>
Conclusions This scoping review highlights the contributions of CHWs to oral health promotion in LMICs, while underscoring health system and workforce constraints. The available evidence is largely descriptive, suggesting the need for strengthened training, supervision, referral linkages, and career development to support CHWs’ integration into oral health services. Family-centered and Continuum of Care approaches warrant further exploration to inform equitable and sustainable oral health within primary health care systems.

kn-title=Proposing an alternative direction for the development of research: a complementary perspective on Schoenfeld’s approach to generality
en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=
kn-abstract=The purpose of this paper is to propose a theoretical framework that suggests directions for future research. While Schoenfeld’s three-axis heuristic framework is well known for this purpose, it primarily points toward increasing generality. Drawing on prior studies on the generalizability of empirical findings in educational research, this paper argues that an alternative research path is possible. Building on the distinction between prevalence and scope, it proposes two types of generality: the generality of a phenomenon within a specified scope and the generality of a theory. Correspondingly, it identifies two directions for research development: delimitation of the scope and generalization of a theory. Finally, the paper argues that research development based on this framework can be understood as progressive in the Lakatosian sense. While Schoenfeld’s framework suggests directions for individual studies, this framework guides competing research programmes by enabling both to progress through scope delimitation.

kn-title=High-pressure spectroscopic investigation of ε-FeOOH: toward a better understanding of pressure-induced hydrogen-bond symmetrization
en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=
kn-abstract=High-pressure spectroscopic measurements of ε-FeOOH were conducted up to ~?65 GPa at room temperature in diamond anvil cells. The pressure evolution of the Raman vibrational modes confirms that a hydrogen-bond-symmetrization-induced phase transition from P21nm to Pnnm occurs at ~?18 GPa. Infrared (IR) spectroscopic measurements suggest that the Pnnm phase has a disordered hydrogen state, and no spectroscopic evidence for fully centered hydrogen bonds is observed within the investigated pressure range. Above ~?45 GPa, Fe3+ in ε-FeOOH undergoes a high-spin to low-spin transition as indicated by a reduction of the unit cell volume, together with reductions in IR transmitted and Raman signals. These results demonstrate that ε?FeOOH preserves a disordered hydrogen?bond configuration up to at least 45 GPa, whereas δ-AlOOH transforms to a centered hydrogen-bond configuration at ~?18 GPa. This compositional contrast suggests that Fe?bearing oxyhydroxides follow a distinct evolution of hydrogen bonding under compression, providing insight into hydrogen behavior in deep Earth materials.

kn-title=Protocol for an open-label, randomised, controlled trial to evaluate the efficacy and safety of sotatercept add-on therapy compared with pulmonary vasodilator-based standard of care for pulmonary vasodilator-resistant pulmonary arterial hypertension associated with unrepaired congenital shunts (atrial septal defect, ventricular septal defect or patent ductus arteriosus), including Eisenmenger syndrome: the SuMILE trial
en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=
kn-abstract=Introduction Eisenmenger syndrome and pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) due to unrepaired congenital shunts, including atrial septal defect (ASD), ventricular septal defect (VSD) and patent ductus arteriosus (PDA), remain life-threatening conditions despite advances in congenital heart disease (CHD) care. In this population, vasodilator-based therapies effective in other forms of PAH have shown limited benefit, and no disease-modifying treatment has been established. Sotatercept, an activin-signalling inhibitor, improved exercise capacity and haemodynamics in phase 2/3 PAH trials; however, patients with unrepaired CHD, including Eisenmenger syndrome, were excluded. The efficacy and safety of sotatercept in this population remain unknown.<br>
Methods and analysis The SuMILE trial is a prospective, exploratory, multicentre, open-label, randomised, controlled trial conducted at 11 Japanese tertiary centres. 36 adults with vasodilator-resistant PAH due to unrepaired ASD, VSD or PDA, including Eisenmenger syndrome, will be randomised 2:1 to sotatercept add-on therapy plus vasodilator-based PAH therapy versus vasodilator-based PAH therapy alone. Sotatercept will be administered subcutaneously every 3?weeks in accordance with label-approved dose-modification rules for haemoglobin and platelet changes. The primary endpoint is the change in 6-min walk distance from baseline to week 24. Key clinical events will be independently adjudicated. Secondary endpoints include all-cause mortality or lung transplantation; pulmonary hypertension-related hospitalisation or initiation of parenteral prostacyclin and changes in WHO functional class, N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide and emPHasis-10. Exploratory endpoints include genotype, right heart catheterisation and cardiac MRI parameters. The primary analysis will use ANCOVA, adjusting for baseline 6-min walk distance and randomisation stratum in the intention-to-treat population.<br>
Ethics and dissemination The protocol has been reviewed and approved by the certified central review board (Kyushu University Hospital Clinical Ethics Review Board) and participating institutions. Written informed consent will be obtained from all participants. Findings will be disseminated through peer-reviewed journals, scientific conferences and trial registries.<br>

kn-title=PPy-coated wire actuators for micromechanostimulation of cells ? identification of immediate-early responsive mechanoregulatory genes in osteoblasts
en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=
kn-abstract=Mechanotransduction, i.e., the conversion of mechanical cues into biochemical signals, is essential for bone development, remodeling, and adaptation. Although mechanical loading is known to regulate osteoblast function and bone homeostasis, dissecting the early and sustained mechanotransductive responses at the microscale remains challenging due to limitations of existing in vitro models. Here, we report the development and application of a mechanostimulation system comprising a polypyrrole (PPy)-based wire actuator that expands and contracts (4 μm in radius) upon electrical actuation and enables precise, localized micromechanical stimulation of a small number of cells within standard culture formats. Using this system, we applied short-term (30 min) cyclic (Cyc30) or static (Stat30), as well as prolonged (120 min) cyclic (Cyc120) stimulations to two osteoblast-like cells (MC3T3-E1 or KUSA-A1). Subsequent transcriptomic profiling and computational network analyses revealed that Cyc30 was not capable of inducing significant changes in mRNA expression, suggesting cellular adaptation to short-term cyclic loading. In contrast, Stat30 induced the upregulation of Fos, Btg2, Egr1, and Fosl1, all known genes associated with mechanotransduction, supporting the validity and reproducibility of our experimental mechanostimulation system. Notably, two long non-coding RNAs (B930036N10Rik and 5430431A17Rik) were identified for the first time as being upregulated in response to Stat30 stimuli. Among the differentially expressed genes (DEGs) upregulated by Cyc120 stimuli, Hmox1, a stress-inducible enzyme known for its roles in maintaining cellular homeostasis and promoting survival, was the only DEG repeatedly observed across the Cyc30/Cyc120 and Stat30/Cyc120 comparisons in both cell types, potentially emerging as a key stress-response gene under prolonged mechanical loading. Collectively, these results establish the PPy-based microactuator as a powerful tool for microscale mechanobiology, and provide molecular insight into immediate-early responsive transcriptional programs underlying osteoblastic mechanoadaptation conserved across different cell types.

kn-title=Comparative study of Ni?CeO2 catalysts prepared by impregnation and coprecipitation for CO2 methanation
en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=
kn-abstract=This study explores how synthesis methods affect the structure and CO2 methanation performance of Ni?CeO2 catalysts prepared by coprecipitation and impregnation under identical conditions. Coprecipitation generated particles below 100 nm with uniform elemental distribution, together with large bulk-like particles exhibiting locally concentrated Ni species, attributed to differences in hydroxide solubility. Impregnation, by contrast, produced very large particles (>?500 nm) with smaller particles attached, while maintaining relatively homogeneous elemental distribution. Coprecipitated catalysts showed slightly higher surface area and oxygen vacancy concentration, resulting in higher apparent turnover frequencies (TOFapp) below 300 °C due to enhanced CO2 adsorption and high Ni site density. However, at temperatures above 350 °C, impregnated catalysts displayed higher CH4 selectivity and TOFapp, indicating reduced kinetic limitations and more efficient active-site utilization. These results provide insights for rational design of efficient CO2 methanation catalysts.

kn-title=Chemical Geodynamics of Granitoid Magmatism During a Pacific‐Philippine Sea Plate Transition in Southwest Japan
en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=
kn-abstract=Granitoid magmatism along the western Pacific margin records interactions between subduction dynamics and crust?mantle processes; however, the links between plate reorganization and magma-source evolution remain debated. Here we integrate U?Pb zircon geochronology with Pb?Sr?Nd?Hf isotope systematics to investigate Cretaceous?Paleogene granitoids in Southwest Japan. Zircon U?Pb ages define two discrete magmatic episodes at 110?60 Ma and 45?30 Ma, separated by a magmatic hiatus of ?10?15 Myr. These granitoid groups exhibit distinct isotopic signatures, indicating derivation from isotopically distinct magma sources linked to the paleo-Pacific (Izanagi) plate and the Philippine Sea plate, respectively. Isotope-based mass-balance modeling indicates higher sediment contributions to the older granitoids, with decreasing sediment input both landward and through time. The magmatic lull at ca. 52?40 Ma coincides with an abrupt isotopic shift and is interpreted to reflect plate reorganization, during which subduction of the paleo-Pacific plate was replaced by a transform or highly oblique plate boundary associated with the northward migration of the proto?Philippine Sea plate. Independent constraints from convergence rates, sediment flux, and accretionary complex development support this interpretation. These results demonstrate that granitoid magmatism in Southwest Japan was fundamentally controlled by temporal changes in subducted lithosphere and sediment flux driven by plate reorganization, highlighting the sensitivity of arc magmatism to transient tectonic regimes.

kn-title=Basin boundary metamorphoses due to changes in accessible boundary orbits in passive dynamic walking
en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=
kn-abstract=Passive dynamic walking is a mechanical system that walks down a shallow slope without any input or control, and is a useful tool for understanding the dynamic properties of walking. This system has a wide variety of periodic solutions through bifurcations depending on the slope angle, resulting in chaotic attractors and fractal basin boundaries. In addition, basin boundary metamorphoses occur at certain slope angles, where the boundaries of the basin of attraction change abruptly, but the mechanism underlying this phenomenon remains largely unclear. A well-known dynamical system, the H?non map, exhibits similar properties, and its basin boundary metamorphoses have been explained in terms of changes in accessible boundary orbits caused by intersections of manifolds associated with bifurcating solutions. Inspired by this framework, we propose a hypothesis for the mechanism of basin boundary metamorphoses in passive dynamic walking by introducing the concept of accessible boundary orbits and verify it numerically. Our results provide new insights into the governing dynamics of walking and contribute to a deeper understanding of nonlinear phenomena in locomotion systems.

kn-title=Explainable analysis of the complex maze magnetic domain structure through extension of the Landau free energy model by adding an entropy feature
en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=
kn-abstract=Maze magnetic domains exhibit complex, temperature-dependent behavior that impacts energy loss in soft magnets, yet their magnetization reversal mechanisms remain poorly understood due to current model limitations. To address this gap, we develop an entropy-extended Landau free energy model that incorporates thermal effects into the analysis of magnetic domain. We employ a data-driven pipeline combining persistent homology, energy decomposition, and principal component analysis to construct an interpretable model that quantifies structure?property relationships and enables causal analysis of magnetic pattern formation. Using this approach, we trace entropy increases to their origins in initial domain configurations and quantify energy transfer among entropic, demagnetization, and exchange contributions. We also find that domain wall lengthening tracks increasing structural complexity, yielding previously inaccessible insights into magnetization reversal mechanism and enabling automated visualization. Our entropy-augmented model provides an explainable framework to decipher magnetization processes and guide the design of magnetic materials to reduce energy loss.

en-abstract=
kn-abstract=Background Salmonella enterica is a leading cause of gastroenteritis and enteric fever. In this study, we sought to investigate the phenotypic and genotypic characteristics of S. enterica isolated from the cancer patients admitted at the Tata Medical Center, Kolkata over a period of eight years (2016?2023).<br>
Methods Salmonella enterica isolates were identified by standard biochemical and serotyping. Antimicrobial susceptibility was tested by disk diffusion method and virulence genes were identified by PCR. The genetic relatedness of strains was determined by pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) methods.<br>
Results A total of 122 S. enterica isolates were identified and classified into 18 different serovars. S. Typhimurium (28.7%), S. Kentucky (22.1%), S. Enteritidis (13.9%), S. Typhi (5.7%) and S. Agona (5.7%) were identified as the common serovars. S. enterica infection was more often detected in adults (77.9%) than in children of 6?18 years old (11.4%) and <?5 years of age (10.6%). The maximum number of S. enterica was isolated from blood (52.4%) followed by those isolated from stool (36.9%) and urine (5.7%). S. enterica infections were detected among patients with chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML)/acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) (24.6%) than Hodgkin lymphoma/non-Hodgkin lymphoma (16.4%), multiple myeloma (9.8%), lung adenocarcinoma (9%), prostate adenocarcinoma (6.6%), and endometrium carcinoma (5.7%). S. Kentucky showed a statistically significant association with hematologic malignancies (p?<?0.001), whereas S. Enteritidis was significantly present in Hodgkin lymphoma and acute lymphoblastic leukemia/Chronic myelogenous leukemia cancer types (p?=?0.004). Most of the S. enterica isolates displayed resistance to erythromycin (62.9%), nalidixic acid (62.9%) and tetracycline (33.9%). Salmonella pathogenicity island (SPI)-associated genes (orgA, ssaQ, misL, invE/A, spi4D, pipA and ttrc) were uniformly present in majority of the isolates. The hyper invasive locus (hilA), Salmonella enterotoxin (stn), Salmonella outer protein (sopB), virulence plasmid (spvC), and plasmid encoded fimbriae (pefA) genes were present in 76%, 69%, 51%, 32% and 17% of the isolates, respectively. Clonal analysis of the representative homologous serovars using pulsed-field gel electrophoresis revealed specific clusters with 40 to 90% similarity within each serotype.<br>
Conclusions Cancer patients are at increased risk of morbidity due to secondary infections, like S. enterica. Continuous monitoring of antimicrobial resistance patterns and virulence gene profiles in S. enterica isolates from this vulnerable group is critical to guide clinical management and treatment strategies.

kn-title=Revisiting Adrenal Crisis Triggered by Influenza Infection: Lessons from Two Fatal Cases
en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=
kn-abstract=Adrenal crisis is a life-threatening endocrine emergency that can progress within hours despite a prior diagnosis and maintenance therapy. We describe a fatal influenza-triggered adrenal crisis in two patients: a child with panhypopituitarism and an adult with prior pituitary surgery, both presenting in cardiac arrest. Despite resuscitation and intravenous hydrocortisone, a fatal hypoxic-ischemic injury or multiorgan failure occurred. These cases highlight the fulminant course of an adrenal crisis and underscore the importance of early recognition, clinician awareness, prompt parenteral hydrocortisone administration, and reinforcement of education for patients, caregivers, and healthcare providers to improve preparedness and prevent avoidable deaths.

kn-title=A Mixed-Methods Study on Changes in Interprofessional Education Attitudes and Fundamental Competencies: A Pre?Post Analysis of Clinical Training in Dietetic Students
en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=
kn-abstract=This study examined the effects of interprofessional education (IPE) on dietetics students during clinical training, focusing on changes in their attitudes toward IPE and their fundamental competencies. Eighty third-year female students (mean age, 21.0 years) at a Japanese women’s university participated. Self-administered surveys were conducted before and after clinical training to assess attitudes toward IPE using the Readiness for Interprofessional Learning Scale (RIPLS) and the Shakaijin Kisoryoku (SKL; Fundamental Competencies for Working Persons) scale. Quantitative data were analyzed using paired t-tests, chi-squared tests, and cluster analyses. Qualitative data from open-ended responses were analyzed thematically. RIPLS and SKL scores increased significantly, from 65.3 to 68.9, and from 28. 4 to 33. 2, respectively (p<0.001). All 12 SKL items showed significant improvement. In free responses, “initiative” (66 mentions), “communication” (10), and “execution” (8) were the most frequently cited as improved competencies. Cluster analysis identified three groups: increasing scores (n=25), high baseline (n=30), and minimal change (n=25). No significant correlation was found between changes in RIPLS and SKL scores (r=?0.108, p=0.355). IPE integrated into clinical training may enhance dietetics students’ attitudes toward interprofessional collaboration and contribute to the development of professional identity. Individualized, phased IPE implementation is recommended to accommodate differences in learner readiness.

kn-title=Global trends in systemic sclerosis-related mortality, 2001?2023: an epidemiological analysis using World Health Organization mortality data
en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=
kn-abstract=Objectives This study aimed to evaluate the global trends in systemic sclerosis (SSc)-related mortality by age, sex, and geographic region. SSc is a multisystem autoimmune disease characterized by tissue fibrosis, vascular dysfunction, and multi-organ involvement, which is associated with a high mortality risk.<br>
Methods Using the World Health Organization Mortality Database, we examined trends in SSc-related crude mortality rates (SSc-CRs) and age-standardized mortality rates (SSc-ASMR) per 1,000,000 population from 2001 to 2023. Locally weighted regression was applied to visualize long-term patterns, and Joinpoint regression was used to assess the national trends from 2010 to 2023.<br>
Results Across 74 countries, 85,291 SSc-related deaths were reported, with 79.41% occurring in females. The SSc-CR steadily increased from 1.97 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.71?2.23) in 2001 to 2.34 (95% CI: 2.01?2.68) in 2023, while the SSc-ASMR decreased from 1.58 (95% CI: 1.42?1.74) to 1.29 (95% CI: 1.08?1.50), respectively. Regionally, mortality was the highest in the Western Pacific region and declined in the Americas and Europe, with temporal fluctuations. The SSc-ASMR was highest in countries with a middle sociodemographic index (SDI).<br>
Conclusions While overall age-standardized mortality from SSc has declined in many regions, disparities persist. These results underscore the importance of sustaining research and enhancing disease awareness, as well as developing strategies to reduce mortality in high-risk populations and regions.

kn-title=Triangulation in teaching probability: teaching materials for the theoretical foundations of probability in real-world applications
en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=
kn-abstract=This paper proposes using the concept of triangulation with probabilistic models as a means to enhance theoretical inversion for deepening students’ understanding of the nature of probability in real-world contexts. Triangulation refers to the combined application of multiple methodologies to investigate the same phenomenon, particularly in the social sciences. Theoretical inversion refers to a shift in focus from surprising outcomes to the theoretical foundations of probability. The paper introduces three types of problem-solving tasks designed to enhance one of four types of triangulations: theory triangulation. Theoretical inversion is expected to emerge through engaging in these tasks. The characteristics of the problems are as follows. Problem 1 promotes students to compare different probabilistic models of events under similar procedures. Problem 2 provides students with an opportunity to simplify an experiment by omitting steps that add no new information. Problem 3 enhances students’ ability to recognise how subtle differences in the experimental setup can affect the resulting probability. These tasks are designed to encourage students to view probabilistic reasoning as a form of modelling and to appreciate the importance of assumptions, definitions of elementary events, and clarity in procedural descriptions.

en-title=How Can School Counselors Contribute to Developmentally Supportive Student Guidance: An Examination of Support Expansion Through the Use of Planning Sheets
kn-title=スクールカウンセラーは発達支持的生徒指導へいかに貢献できるか ―プランニングシートの活用を通した支援の拡充に向けた検討―
en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=　In the revised Guidelines for Student Guidance (2022), the importance of developmentally supportive student guidance, which aims to foster the growth of all students, is clearly emphasized. However, many challenges to its implementation have been identified in school settings, including teachers’ excessive workload and insufficient organizational support systems. Moreover, the support provided by school counselors (SCs) has not yet been sufficiently developed. Therefore, this study examined the potential for expanding SCs’ support in developmentally supportive student guidance by reviewing its current status and challenges. Furthermore, through a reanalysis of a practical case using the Planning Sheet (Hara et al., 2024), the study explored the usefulness of this framework in enabling SCs and schools to share educational goals and collaboratively plan their support activities.
kn-abstract=　2022年に改訂された「生徒指導提要」では，すべての児童生徒の成長を支援する発達支持的生徒指導の重要性が明確に示されている。しかし，その定着には，教員の多忙化や組織的支援体制の不十分さなど，学校現場における多くの課題が指摘されている。さらに，スクールカウンセラー（SC）による支援も十分に展開されているとは言い難い。そこで本稿では，発達支持的生徒指導におけるSCの支援の拡充可能性を検討するため，現状と課題を整理した。また，プランニングシートを活用した実践事例（原他, 2024）の再分析を通して，SCと学校が教育目標を共有しながら協働的に支援を計画する枠組みの有用性を吟味した。

en-title=Preliminary Consideration on the Introduction of Philosophical Thinking into Special Needs Education: A Methodological Framework Based on the Concepts of Duration, Becoming, and Diffraction
kn-title=特別支援教育への哲学的思考導入についての予備的考察 持続・生成変化・回折の考え方に基づく方法的枠組みの試案
en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=This paper presents a theoretical and methodological examination aimed at introducing philosophical thinking into the practice of special needs education in response to contemporary challenges in the field. As its theoretical foundation, the study outlines Bergson’ s theory of memory, Deleuze and Guattari’ s philosophy of becoming, Barad’ s diffractive methodology, and Blom’ s diffractive ethnography. Building upon these theories, it proposes a methodological framework that adopts three interrelated analytical perspectives?“material-discursive practices,” “duration,” and “becoming”?for reading and interpreting educational practices. These perspectives, situated within the paradigm of post-qualitative research, make it possible to understand educational events as relational and processual phenomena rather than fixed outcomes. Future issues include the theoretical integration of the three lenses, clarification of the distinctions between diffractive methodology and diffractive ethnography, and refinement of analytical methods for connecting multiple practice episodes.
kn-abstract=　本稿は，現代の特別支援教育の課題から，特別支援教育実践に哲学的思考を導入するための理論的・方法的検討を行うものである。まず，理論基盤として，ベルクソンの「記憶理論」，ドゥルーズ＆ガタリの「生成変化の哲学」，Baradの「回折的方法論」，Blomの「回折的エスノグラフィー」について概説した。そして，理論基盤を基に方法的枠組みとして，「物質−言説的実践」，「持続」，「生成変化」の三つの視点を教育実践を読み解くための相互補完的な分析視点として採用することを提案した。これらの視点は，ポスト質的研究として，出来事を関係的・過程的に捉えることを可能にするものである。今後の課題として，三つのレンズ間の理論的整理，回折的方法論と回折的エスノグラフィーの差異化，および複数の実践エピソードを接続して描くための分析手法の精緻化が挙げられた。

en-title=Tier 1 Support of School-Wide Positive Behavior Support (SWPBS) in the High School Division of a Special Needs School for Students with Intellectual Disabilities: Implementation and Effects of a Campaign-Based Approach
kn-title=知的障害高等特別支援学校における SWPBS 第１層支援 ―キャンペーン方式の導入とその効果―

en-abstract=This study examined the effects of a campaign-based intervention implemented as Tier 1 support within School-Wide Positive Behavior Support (SWPBS). It took place at a public upper secondary school for students with mild intellectual disabilities. A “Thank-You Campaign” was conducted with 24 students in one grade level. The frequency of predefined target behaviors was analyzed using AB design with follow-ups. A social validity questionnaire was also administered to six teachers of the same grade. Results showed that both the frequency of the target behaviors and the percentage of students engaging in those behaviors increased after the campaign. These increases remained above baseline levels for a certain period after the campaign ended. The intervention also demonstrated a moderate degree of social validity. These findings suggest that campaign-based approaches can be a useful form of Tier 1 support in SWPBS for students with mild intellectual disabilities at the upper secondary level.
kn-abstract=　本研究は，軽度知的障害のある後期中等教育段階の公立知的障害高等特別支援学校において，SWPBS 第1層支援としてキャンペーン方式の支援を実施し，その効果検証を行った。方法としては，Ｘ学年生徒24名に対して挨拶行動の促進を狙ったキャンペーンを実施し，目標行動の生起数についてABフォローアップデザインを用いて検討した。また，Ｘ学年教員6名に対し，社会的妥当性を評価するアンケートを実施した。その結果，キャンペーンの介入直後に目標行動の生起数および目標行動に従事した生徒の割合の増加が見られ，キャンペーン終了後もベースラインと比較した増加が一定期間確認された。また，一定程度の社会的妥当性も確認できた。

en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract= This study aims to clarify the effects of junior high school students planning community development through collaboration and interaction with others, and the changes in learners that arise from the results of such practice. It also examines how interactions with others, which are emphasized in dialogic learning, can be applied to junior high school practice and what form this should take. The goal of this practice is to foster a change in students' awareness of their town by having them interpret the future and nature of the town from various perspectives in relation to their interactions with others, and consider sustainable ways of living in the town and forming relationships as their own concern. As a result of the practice, students experienced changes in their perspectives and awareness regarding the town and were able to think about the regional issues involved in town development as their own concern.
kn-abstract=　本研究は，中学校総合的な学習の時間における町づくりにおいて，他者との協働や相互作用を通じて町づくりを構想し，実践の結果生じた学習者の変化からその効果を明らかにすることを目的としている。また，対話的な学びで重視される他者との相互作用を，中学校の実践に落とし込み，そのあり方についても検討する。本実践のねらいは，多様な視点から町の将来の姿やあり方を人との関わりについて読み解き，持続可能な町のあり方について自分事に引き寄せて考えることで，町に対する意識の変化を促すことにある。実践の結果，学習者の町に対する見方や考え方の意識変化が引き起こされ，町づくりの持つ地域課題について自分事に引き寄せて思考することができた。

en-title=Practice and Challenges of Elementary School Moral Education Lessons Utilizing Self-Developed Teaching Materials on the Theme of ‘The Dignity of Life’
kn-title=「生命の尊さ」の自作教材を活用した小学校道徳科授業の実践と課題
en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=This study investigated whether utilizing self-developed teaching materials for the moral content item "The Dignity of Life" could lead elementary school students to deeply reflect on the value of life in relation to their own experiences. The results confirmed that the use of these materials successfully enabled students to empathize with the characters and engage in deep reflection on the moral value of "The Dignity of Life" in a personal context. Conversely, a challenge emerged: due to the strength of the teacher's intent embedded in the original materials, students were occasionally observed tailoring their comments to align with the teacher's expectations. This suggests a potential, albeit unintentional, directionality imposed on student discourse by the instructor. Finally, this paper discusses the necessity of a continuous cycle of practice and reflection to realize truly student-centered moral education lessons.
kn-abstract=　本研究では，内容項目「生命の尊さ」に関する自作教材を開発し，授業を実施することによって，子どもが「生命の尊さ」を自分との関わりで深く考えることができるかについて検証した。成果として，自作教材の活用によって子どもが教材の登場人物に共感し，「生命の尊さ」の道徳的価値を自分との関わりで深く考える様子が確認できた。一方，課題として，自作教材へ込めた思いの強さから，子どもが授業者の意図を組みながら発言する姿が見られ，意図せず子どもの発言を方向付けた可能性が示された。最後に，子ども中心の授業の実現に向けて，実践と省察の往還の必要性について議論した。

en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=This study aims to develop practicable lessons for high school civics classes that foster an understanding of constitutionalism as the foundation for grasping the Constitution. Traditional Japanese social studies education focused on understanding the Constitution's fundamental principles?popular sovereignty, respect for basic human rights, and pacifism. But, recently, the concept of constitutionalism has gained attention as a means to help students understand what a constitution fundamentally is, and it is now described in textbooks. This study proposes a lesson plan designed to help students appropriately grasp the concept of constitutionalism. In making the lesson plan, we referenced the long-used “We the People” program developed by the Center for Civic Education in U.S. We adapted materials originally created based on the historical context of the United States to fit the Japanese context, utilizing parts of this program.
kn-abstract=　本研究は、憲法理解の基本としての立憲主義に対する認識形成を目標とする、高等学校公民科で実践可能な授業の開発を目指したものである。従来の日本の社会科教育においては、憲法理解は日本国憲法の基本原則である国民主権、基本的人権の尊重、平和主義の理解を基本としていたが、近年、そもそも憲法とは何かを理解させるために、立憲主義の概念が注目されるようになり、教科書にも記述されている。本研究は、そのような立憲主義という概念について生徒に適切に理解させることを目指した授業の提案をしようとするものである。授業計画作成にあたっては、米国の公民教育センターが開発し、長年活用されている『我ら合衆国人民（原題 We the People）』を参照し、その一部を活用し、米国の歴史的背景に基づいて作られた教材を、日本の文脈にそって改変した。

en-title=Methods for Implementing Legal Education in Social Studies to Foster Understanding of Criminal Law Through Developing Junior High School Social Studies Lessons Incorporating Mock Trials
kn-title=刑法の意義を捉えさせる社会科における法教育実践の方法 ―模擬裁判を取り入れた中学校社会科の授業開発を通して―
en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=This study focuses on developing junior high school social studies lessons incorporating mock trials to enhance understanding of criminal law. Legal education in Japanese social studies has traditionally centered on constitutional studies, with very few opportunities to learn about other laws. Given this situation, recent years have seen the development of legal education lessons covering civil law, criminal law, and other areas. Meanwhile, since the introduction of the lay judge system, the development and implementation of social studies lessons incorporating mock trials have become commonplace, and it is no longer unusual for criminal cases to be addressed in social studies classes. This study examines the characteristics and challenges of conventional mock trial-based lessons and aims to develop a junior high school social studies lesson that helps students grasp the significance of criminal law.
kn-abstract=　本研究は、刑法の理解に焦点をあて、模擬裁判を取り入れた中学校社会科の授業開発を行なおうとするものである。日本の社会科における法教育は、従来から憲法学習が中心となっており、その他の法律について学ぶ機会は非常に少ない。そのような現状を踏まえて、近年、民法や刑法などを取り上げた法教育の授業開発が行われるようになった。その一方で、裁判員制度導入以降、模擬裁判を取り入れた社会科授業の開発・実践がよく見られるようになっており、刑事事件が社会科授業で取り上げられることも珍しくはなくなった。しかし、そのような授業を担当する教員に、刑法等に関する知識が十分ではなく、模擬裁判の内容と実際の裁判が乖離しているという課題もある。本研究では、従来の模擬裁判を取り入れた授業の特質と課題を検討したうえで、刑法の意義を捉えさせる中学校社会科の授業開発を目指す。

en-title=Practical Issues on Differences in Hours of Attendance as Seen in an Interview of Initial Appointment Child Care Teachers
kn-title=初任保育教諭の語りに見る園児の在園時間の違いによる実践上の課題
en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=In this paper, we examined practical issues and responses through interviews with novice childcare teachers with a focus on the differences in the length of kindergarteners' attendance time, which characterizes certified childcare centers. As a result, it became obvious that childcare teachers were aware of eight challenges. In addition to the challenge with respect to the “development of childcare ensuring the continuity of play” described in the “Guidelines for Education and Childcare for Certified Childcare Centers,” furthermore, a new challenge regarding “understanding of kindergarteners in consideration of their various attendance time and lifestyles” not described in it was identified. Differences in attendance time due to certification classification inevitably lead to differences in time schedules, locations, and groups during certified childcare centers life. Therefore, in order to clarify what common experiences should be established in certified childcare centers life, what differences in experience should be utilized, and what kind of childcare should be practiced based on the goals set by childcare teachers, a future challenge is to collect and organize good practice examples that have been accumulated so far in certified nurseries and to clarify indicators.
kn-abstract=　本論では，幼保連携型認定こども園の特徴である園児の在園時間の違いに焦点を当て，初任保育教諭への面接調査により実践上の課題と対応について検討した。その結果，保育教諭が８つの課題を認識していることが明らかになった。また，『幼保連携型認定こども園教育・保育要領』に記述されている「遊びの連続性を保障する保育の展開」に関する課題に加えて，記述されていない「多様な在園時間や生活形態を考慮した園児理解」に関する新たな課題が見出された。認定区分による在園時間の違いは園生活における時間的スケジュールや場所，集団の違いを余儀なくされる。そのため，保育教諭が設定するねらいに基づいた園生活で何を共通経験とすべき内容として設定し，何を経験差として活かし，どのような保育を実践するか明確にすべく，これまで認定こども園で積み重ねられてきた好実践例を集積・整理し，指標を明示することが今後の課題である。

en-abstract=In the community development of wind band activities, the shortage of instructors and rehearsal spaces has become an urgent issue. This study investigates whether community wind bands can serve as key supporters of community development of children’ s wind band activities progresses. Based on interviews with 20 community wind bands in Okayama Prefecture and text mining analysis, the study revealed differences in their awareness toward community development of club activities. More proactive bands tended to view providing musical instruction to children and engaging in joint activities positively. On the other hand, concerns about instructional skills, time constraints, and the burden of responsibility were identified as potential obstacles. Furthermore, the findings suggest that utilizing public school facilities could help address the issues of rehearsal space and financial constraints faced by community wind bands. However, disparities among municipalities were also found in the actual implementation of public school facility use systems.
kn-abstract=　吹奏楽活動の地域展開（以下、地域展開）において、指導者や活動場所の不足は喫緊の課題である。本研究は、地域展開が進む中で、市民吹奏楽団が地域の子ども達の吹奏楽活動を支える担い手となり得るかを調査・検討した。岡山県内の市民吹奏楽団20 団体への聞き取り調査とテキストマイニング分析の結果、地域展開への意識には差がみられ、積極的な団体では子ども達の演奏指導や合同での活動を肯定的に捉える傾向が確認された。一方で、指導技術や時間的制約、責任負担への不安が障壁となっている可能性が示唆された。また、市民吹奏楽団が抱える活動場所や財政的な課題に対して公立学校施設の活用がその解決に寄与し得る可能性が示唆された。一方で、公立学校の施設開放については、実際の制度運用において自治体間の格差が存在することが明らかとなった。

en-abstract=This paper proposes a Global Citizenship Education program for junior high school music classes. The program aims to promote mutual understanding by having students examine the musical cultures of Japan and Korea, identifying their cultural differences and commonalities. In designing the program, author Konishi drew upon methods of GCED being implemented in Korea, identified through field research conducted during a roughly one-month internship at APCEIU (Asia-Pacific Centre of Education for International Understanding) in Seoul, Korea. The developed program focused on percussion instruments from both Japan and Korea. By comparing these instruments, students identified cultural differences between the two countries. The program then aimed to deepen students' understanding of cultural diversity and the unique value of each country's culture, while also helping them recognize the historical background underlying each nation's musical culture and accept these differences.
kn-abstract=　本論文は、中学校音楽科において、日本と韓国の音楽文化を取り上げて、互いの文化の違いや共通性を捉えさせたうえで相互理解を促進する、グルーバル・シティズンシップ教育（以下、GCED と表記）プログラムを構想しようとするものである。プログラムの構想の際には、筆者である小西が、韓国のソウルのAPCEIU（アジア太平洋国際理解教育センター）で行なった約一か月間のインターンシップの間の実地調査で把握した、韓国で展開されているGCED の方法を参考にした。開発プログラムでは、日韓両国の打楽器を取り上げて、その比較から互いの文化の違いを捉えさせたうえで、違いを受け入れながら、それぞれの国の音楽文化の根底にある歴史的背景に気づかせたうえで、文化の多様性や両国の文化の固有の価値に対する理解を深めることを目指した。

kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=An interdisciplinary lesson practice for the university students leading to the understanding of heterogeneous others was made on a topic of summer climate and the seasonal feeling around Germany, as a continuing study of Kato et al. (2025). In the lesson practice, details of the climate and seasonal cycle around Germany were firstly explained and the German lied “Im Fr?hling” (In spring) composed by F. Schubert was appreciated, paying attention to how the scenes and emotions expressed by the lyrics “all summer long” in the 3rd verse of this song might differ whether we imagine the climate around Germany or that around Japan. It seems that the present activity provided an opportunity for the students to perceive the climate environments and seasonal feelings quite different from those familiar to them . However, how to explore the appreciation activities that focus also on the musical expression itself of that song is an interesting remaining problem, in order for the students to capture the summer scenery and emotions which Schubert himself imagined.
kn-abstract=　「異質な他者」への出会いを促す授業例の更なる蓄積のため，ドイツ付近の「夏」の気候と季節感に注目した教科横断的な授業を大学で実践した。授業では，ドイツ付近の気候と季節サイクルの中での「夏」の特徴を把握すると共に，シューベルトの歌曲《春に》を鑑賞した。《春に》の3 番の「夏の間じゅう，ずっと」という歌詞で歌われている情景や情感が，ドイツ付近と日本付近を想定した場合にどう違い得るか，に関する受講生の記述を分析した。その結果，日本の夏の高温多湿な環境からは原詩の情感そのものが成立し難いと感じた学生もいるなど，本実践は，自分たちの「当たり前」とは異なる気候や季節感にも目を向ける機会になり得たといえる。一方，日本とはかなり違う気候背景の中でシューベルトが思い描いたであろう情景・心情に授業で深く迫るための，音楽表現自体への踏み込み方についても，今後検討する必要性が示唆された。

en-title=Study on Physical Activity Levels During Soccer Matches Among Junior High School Students Focusing on Position and Physical/Fitness Characteristics
kn-title=中学生を対象としたサッカー試合中の身体活動量に関する研究 〜ポジションと身体・体力特性に着目して〜
en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=We compared physical and fitness characteristics by soccer position using results from the New Physical Fitness Test administered to 30 junior high school students. Additionally, we compared differences in physical activity levels by position during soccer matches while wearing LC devices. The results showed no significant differences in physical or fitness characteristics between positions. However, significant differences were observed between positions in step count and the proportion of time spent in physical activity by intensity level. This revealed that physical activity levels during soccer matches differ between positions even among junior high school students, clarifying position-specific characteristics in soccer. It also suggested the usefulness of evaluating physical activity levels during matches over time.
kn-abstract=　中学生34人を対象とし，身体・体力特性とサッカー試合中の身体活動量について，ポジションに着目して比較・検討した．その結果，身体・体力特性についてはポジション間に有意な差は認められなかった．歩数ではポジション間で有意差が認められ，ライトサイドバックが少なく，センターミッドフィルダーが高かった．強度別身体活動量時間の割合ではポジション間で有意差が認められ，ライトサイドバックが低く，センターミッドフィルダーが高かった．以上のことから，本研究の対象中学生ではポジション間で身体・体力特性には有意差が認められないが，サッカー試合中の身体活動量ではポジション間で差が生じることが示唆された．

en-abstract=　The purpose of this study was to objectively measure physical activity levels during different school settings among sixth-grade elementary school children using an accelerometer, and to examine their relationship with physical fitness. Participants were 85 children (41 boys, 44 girls). Step counts and time spent in different activity intensities were evaluated during recess, physical education (PE) classes, and the whole school day. Results showed that children with higher fitness levels tended to have greater step counts and more moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) during recess. Significant differences were found in morning recess for boys and in lunch recess and PE classes for girls. The proportion of MVPA was 11.3% during recess and 15.7% during PE classes, which was lower than that reported in other countries and did not meet international recommendations. This study provides fundamental data on physical activity in elementary school settings and suggests the importance of enhancing opportunities for physical activity, parti cularly during recess and PE classes.
kn-abstract=　本研究の目的は，小学校6年生の学校生活における活動場面別の身体活動量を加速度計を用いて客観的に測定し，その体力との関係を検討することである．対象は小学校児童85名(男子41名，女子44名)とし，休み時間，体育授業，学校生活全体における歩数と強度別活動時間を評価した．その結果，男女ともに体力上位群は休み時間において歩数とMVPAが多い傾向が示され，特に男子は中休み，女子は昼休みおよび体育授業で有意差が認められた．各活動場面のMVPA が占める割合は休み時間11.3％，体育授業15.7％であり，諸外国と比較して少なく，国際的推奨値にも届かなかった．本研究は，小学校における身体活動量の基礎データを提示するとともに，学校生活，特に休み時間や体育授業における身体活動機会の充実が必要であることを示唆した．

en-abstract=This study focused on the confusion students experience regarding the orientation of images during the learning of convex lens in junior high school. It examined the causes of this confusion, identifying insufficient awareness of experimental conditions such as the light source, screen, and observation location. To investigate, the study analyzed changes in the Course of Study for Lower Secondary Schools and textbooks and conducted a questionnaire survey of science teachers. The results revealed that while textbook descriptions have shifted toward specifying the observation location, teaching methods among teachers vary, causing confusion of students. To address these issues, a 3D-printed teaching material was developed that naturally fixes the observation viewpoint. Its effectiveness was examined through teacher training. This material was found to be effective in promoting students' intuitive understanding and bringing inquiry-based learning.
kn-abstract=　本研究は、中学校理科の凸レンズ学習で生徒が像の向きに抱く混乱に着目した。その要因を、光源・スクリーン・観察場所といった実験条件が十分に意識されてこなかった点にあると考察し、学習指導要領と教科書の変遷分析、および現職教員へのアンケート調査を実施した。その結果、教科書の記述は観察場所を指定する方向へ変化しているものの、現場教員の指導法にはばらつきがあり、生徒の混乱を招く一因となっていることを明らかにした。これらの課題解決のため、観察視点を自然に固定できる3D プリンタ製教材を開発し、教員研修でその有効性を検討した。本教材は生徒の直感的理解を促し、探究的な学びを引き出す上で有効であることが示唆された。

en-title=Critical Reading Instruction of Expository Text that Promotes Reflecting: Practice for First-year Student at High School
kn-title=説明的文章の指導における「内省」を促す批判的読み ―高等学校１年生を対象として―
en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=　Critical reading is an essential skill at present time and is included in government guidelines for teaching. Although recent research on teaching critical reading has been conducted, there have been criticisms that lack of consideration of content value and understanding context within society. There are also calls for critical reading that focuses on the perspective of “reflect” . Therefore, this paper developed a lesson that encourages students not only critically read the text, but also critically consider (reflect on) their own ideas. As a measure to achieve this, incorporated activities such as comparing two teaching materials that contained multiple social perceptions, exchanging opinions from opposing perspectives, writing an evaluation of the materials, and having the students themselves evaluate their own writing (their own reading). Analysis of the students’ writings shows that, while some students didn’ t reach conscious reflection, about 60% of students’ writings showed changes. And then it suggests that the methods used were effective.
kn-abstract=　批判的読みは，現代では欠かせない能力であり，学習指導要領にも明記されている。近年，批判的読みの指導に関する研究がなされているものの，内容的な価値の検討や社会的な文脈のなかで捉えることが希薄だとする指摘や，「反省性」という観点に着目した批判的読みを求める声もある。そこで，本稿では，文章そのものを批判的に読むだけでなく，自身の持っている考えをも批判的に捉える（内省する）ことを促す授業を開発した。その手立てとして，複数の社会認識が存在する二つの教材の読み比べたうえで，対立する立場からの意見交換を行うことや，教材に対する評価の記述，その記述（自己の読み）を学習者自身が評価するといった活動を取り入れた。学習者の記述の分析からは，意識的な内省に至らなかった学習者も見受けられたものの，約６割の学習者の記述には変容が見られ，用いた手立ては効果があったと推測できることを指摘した。

en-title=Preschool Teachers’ Strategies and Practical Challenges in Supporting the School Enrollment of Foreign Children
kn-title=外国人幼児の就学支援における保育士の工夫と実践的課題
en-subtitle=

en-abstract=This study aimed to clarify the specific practices and challenges faced by preschool teachers in supporting foreign children at the time of school enrollment. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with two preschool teachers who had experience in supporting foreign children, and qualitative analysis using SCAT was applied to organize the support provided to both children and their parents. The results revealed that, in terms of language support, teachers utilized visual aids and simplified Japanese, while in cultural support they sought to balance family culture with the culture of the preschool. Regarding developmental support, the importance of fostering non-cognitive skills and collaborating with medical institutions was highlighted. In parent support, participatory involvement and careful explanations were practiced; however, challenges remained in providing institutional information and establishing collaboration with local governments. Based on these findings, it is necessary to establish a regional collaborative system that can provide institutional support for families with multicultural backgrounds, standardize the provision of information, and build practical mechanisms to connect with Japanese language education resources, so that support does not rely solely on the individual efforts of preschool teachers.
kn-abstract=　本研究は，外国人幼児が就学期に直面する困難に対応するため，保育士が行っている具体的な保育実践における支援の工夫と課題を明らかにすることを目的とした。外国人幼児の支援経験を有する保育士2 名に半構造化インタビューを行い，SCAT を用いた質的分析により，幼児および保護者への支援内容を整理した。その結果，言語面では視覚的支援ややさしい日本語を活用し，文化面では家庭文化と日本の園文化の調整が行われていた。発達支援においては，非認知的スキルの育成や医療機関との連携の必要性が指摘された。保護者支援では，参加型の関わりや丁寧な説明が実践されていたが，制度情報の提供や行政との連携には課題が残された。これらの結果を踏まえ，今後は保育士の個別的努力に依存しないためにも，多文化背景をもつ家庭への支援を制度的に支える地域連携体制の整備や，情報提供の標準化，日本語教育資源との接続を図る実践的仕組みの構築が求められる。

kn-title=Clinicopathological and transcriptomic profiles of 101 patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma/high-grade B-cell lymphoma with double-hit MYC and BCL2 or BCL6 and triple hit
en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=
kn-abstract=Aims: Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma/high-grade B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL/HGBCL) with MYC and BCL2 rearrangements (double-hit lymphoma with BCL2, DHL-BCL2) is a mature aggressive B-cell lymphoma that also includes concurrent triple hit with BCL6 translocation (TH). DHL with MYC and BCL6 (DH-BCL6) can also occur. The differences among these three DLBCL/HGBCL subtypes have not yet been definitively determined.<br>
Methods and Results: This study characterized the clinicopathological features and transcriptomic profiles of a series of 101 cases of DLBCL/HGBCL that were subclassified according to MYC, BCL2 and BCL6 FISH data, including cell-of-origin (COO)-like, molecular high-grade (MHG)-like and double-hit/dark-zone (DHIT/DZsig)-like signatures. DLBCL/HGBCL-DH-BCL2 was characterized by higher HGBCL morphology, CD10 positivity, GCB Hans's, GCB COO and MHG molecular subtype. DLBCL/HGBCL-TH had higher LDH levels and worse overall survival. DLBCL/HGBCL-DH-BCL6 had higher MUM1 expression, non-GCB Hans', ABC/Unclassified COO, non-MHG and low DHIT/DZ signatures. Transcriptomic analysis showed that DLBCL/HGBCL-DH-BCL2 and DLBCL/HGBCL-TH were close but separated from DLBCL/HGBCL-DH-BCL6. Gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA) revealed different levels of enrichment between the subtypes.<br>
Conclusions: DLBCL/HGBCL-DH-BCL6 differs from the DLBCL/HGBCL-DH-BCL2, and the DLBCL/HGBCL-TH is associated with the worst survival. Analysis of all three genes of MYC, BCL2 and BCL6 is recommended in the context of DLBCL/HGBCL diagnosis.

en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=
kn-abstract=Cellular mechanotransduction signals play a crucial role in physiological and pathological conditions, including skeletal disorders. Although various systems exist to mechanically stimulate cultured cells, most are constrained by incubator incompatibility, limited physiological relevance, nonuniform stimulation, or complexity. The objective of this article is to develop and validate a compact, incubator-compatible tool capable of delivering localized and physiologically relevant mechanical stimulation to small cell populations. Here, we introduce a polypyrrole-based wire-shaped microactuator designed to induce localized mechanical stress to adjacent cells. These wire-shaped microactuators are biocompatible, easy-to-use, and compact for use within standard in vitro cell culture systems. Using a noncontact optical method, we characterize the actuation of polypyrrole-coated wires in an aqueous NaDBS electrolyte, showing radial expansion of 1.5?8??m depending on the deposited polypyrrole film thickness, comparable to cellular dimensions. Next, the actuation is confirmed to be robust and stable to use in cell culture media at physiological temperature. To evaluate biological relevance, osteoblastic KUSA-A1 cells are mechanically stimulated inside the incubator and transcriptomic changes are assessed. Mechanical stimulation resulted in upregulation of genes previously associated with mechanotransduction, including Fos and Fosb. Additionally, several uncharacterized long noncoding RNAs are differentially expressed, suggesting potential novel players in the mechanotransduction pathway.

kn-title=Role-Based Efficient Proactive Secret Sharing with User Revocation
en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=
kn-abstract=Proactive secret sharing (PSS), an extension of secret-sharing schemes, safeguards sensitive data in dynamic distributed networks by periodically refreshing shares to counter adversarial attacks. In our previous work, we constructed a non-interactive proactive secret scheme by integrating threshold homomorphic encryption (ThHE) while reducing the communication complexity to ?(?). Not only is refreshing shares important but revoking the shares of users who have left the system is also essential in practical dynamic membership scenarios. However, the previous work was insufficient for supporting explicit user revocation. This study strengthens the description of roles for authorized users and proposes a scheme to achieve non-interactive share refresh and dynamic user management. In each epoch, authorized users are classified into three roles: retain, newly join, and rejoin, and they receive a broadcast of the compact ciphertext encoding both the refresh information and the revocation instructions from the trusted center (dealer). Authorized users independently derive new shares through homomorphic computations, whereas revoked users are unable to generate new shares. Hash functions are used to bind revocation parameters to the cryptographic hashes of valid users in order to guarantee integrity during revocation, allowing for effective verification without compromising non-interactivity. Our new scheme not only extends the revocation structure but also preserves the ?(?) communication complexity.

kn-title=Integrated Authentication Server Design for Efficient Kerberos?Blockchain VANET Authentication
en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=
kn-abstract=Vehicular Ad Hoc Network (VANET) is a fundamental component of the intelligent transportation systems (ITS), providing critical road information to users. However, the volatility of VANETs creates significant vulnerabilities from malicious actors. Thus, verifying joining entities is crucial to maintaining the VANET’s communication security. Authentication delays must stay below 100 ms to meet VANET requirements, posing a major challenge for security. Our previous research introduced a Kerberos?Blockchain (KBC) authentication system that contains two main components separately: Authentication Server (AS) and Ticket Granting Server (TGS). However, this KBC architecture required an additional server to accommodate increasing vehicle volumes in urban environments, leading to higher infrastructure costs. This paper presents an integrated authentication server that merges AS and TGS into a Combined Server (CBS) while retaining blockchain security. We evaluate it using OMNeT++ with SUMO for traffic simulation and Ganache for blockchain implementation. Results show that CBS removes the need for an extra server while keeping authentication delays under 100 ms. It also improves throughput by 104%  and reduces signaling overhead by 45%  compared to KBC. By optimizing authentication without compromising security, the integrated server greatly enhances the cost-effectiveness and efficiency of VANET systems.

kn-title=A Study on Zeek IDS Effectiveness for Cybersecurity in Agricultural IoT Networks
en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=
kn-abstract=As agriculture moves toward Agriculture 4.0, which uses Internet of Things (IoT) devices to collect data in real time and monitor things from a distance, these networks are becoming increasingly vulnerable to cyberattacks. A common method used to protect against these kinds of threats is the use of intrusion detection systems (IDS). However, the agricultural environment is often changing and has limited resources, which makes cybersecurity challenging. Several available IDS tools are not designed to work properly in places with few resources, intermittent access, and unpredictable network conditions. This paper investigates the performance of Zeek, an open-source IDS, in identifying potential threats in agricultural IoT networks. We performed both offline and real-time experiments: offline analysis used pcap files from the Stratosphere Laboratory dataset, and real-time evaluation involved simulated live attack scenarios, focusing on unauthorized access attempts and distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks. Zeek's performance was assessed based on CPU and memory utilization, as well as quality of service (QoS) metrics. From the experimental results, we found that Zeek was quite effective in protecting agricultural IoT networks against typical threats. Memory usage remained stable around 5% during offline analysis and under 20% during active attacks. However, CPU usage was more volatile, peaking at 120% during DDoS events. In terms of QoS, the system maintained a good throughput (1,375 kbits/s) with minimal packet loss (0.000186%). Among the attack types that we tested, brute force attacks, which represent attempts at unauthorized access, had the strongest effect on network performance, increasing delay to 2.159 ms and jitter to 0.793 ms. It seems clear that a heavier traffic load during such attacks can interfere with QoS. On the basis of our observation, we recommend practical deployment strategies for agricultural IoT systems that take these limitations into consideration, aiming to keep networks both secure and efficient under pressure.

en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=
kn-abstract=The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of weak but prolonged mean flow accelerations, such as those observed in wind tunnel blockage acceleration, on free-stream turbulence. Specifically, this research aims to validate a model previously developed based on the k-epsilon model. To test this model, the study focuses on scenarios where the turbulence under acceleration is steady and isotropic, since the model suggests that this type of acceleration has no effect on the turbulent kinetic energy. To examine this suggestion, the turbulence within a periodic box was analyzed using large-eddy simulation (LES) based on the conventional Smagorinsky model framework. The numerical analysis is based on a method that conserves velocity fluctuation intensities. The results show that while high rate of acceleration deviates turbulent kinetic energy, low rate acceleration has hardly any effect on turbulent kinetic energy, enstrophy, pressure fluctuation, relative pressure fluctuation intensity, and higher-order statistics of a velocity fluctuation. These results validate the accuracy of the model proposed in the previous studies. These results were obtained by focusing on differences in Reynolds numbers and the spatial scale of the forcing.

en-abstract=
kn-abstract=　Large-scale rainfall characteristics at the heavy rainfall event around the western Japan for 5?7 July 2018 were analyzed with use of the 10-mimute precipitation data at the surface meteorological observation stations of the Japan Meteorological Agency, and so on. In this case, the area with 3 days total precipitation of near or more than 300 mm was distributed widely from northern Kyushu to Shiga and Fukui Prefectures. As in the many heavy rainfall events around Kyushu District in the mature stage of the Baiu season, contribution of the intense rainfall with more than 4 mm/10-minute (24 mm/h) attained about one third of the areal mean total precipitation. However, it is noted that the "not so intense rain" with less than 2 mm/10-minute (12 mm/h) also contributed to about one third of the huge total precipitation in the wide area. In short, this case could be characterized by the mixture of the western Japan type heavy rainfall event and the eastern Japan type one.

kn-abstract=　In the disaster prevention education on the heavy rainfall around Japan, it is also important to promote the meteorological literacy on the seasonal and regional differences of their rainfall characteristics such as the convective rain or stratiform rain, together with their total amount of precipitation and their occurrence frequency. As the first step toward the above purpose, the present study made a lesson practice for the university students by utilizing the 10-minute precipitation data for the four heavy rainfall events, in which the types of the heavy rainfall (although all the cases examined in the lesson are relating to the deep convective clouds) are rather different from each other, such as the differences of the rainfall intensity at the peak time, short-period variation of the rainfall intensity and the persistency of the rainfall including the "not so intense rainfall". The reports by the students seem to perceive the different features among these events briefly, but the students' attention to how long the intense rainfall with short-period variation or "not so intense rainfall" lasted was not so sufficient.

kn-title=Alcohol consumption, smoking, and the implications of their cessations for field carcinogenesis in the esophagus: a 10-year prospective cohort study
en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=
kn-abstract=Background Alcohol and tobacco are established carcinogens, which promote field carcinogenesis for esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC). This study aimed to evaluate the long-term effects of alcohol and tobacco cessations, and background mucosal status, on risk for metachronous ESCC (mESCC) after endoscopic resection (ER).<br>
Methods This was a multicentre prospective cohort study of patients with intramucosal ESCC treated by ER. All participants received structured education on cessation, and underwent regular endoscopic surveillance. Patients were stratified by Lugol-voiding lesion (LVL) grade (A: none, B: 1?9, C: ?10). The impacts of alcohol and smoking cessation on field carcinogenesis were assessed.<br>
Findings Among 331 enrolled patients, the median follow-up was 120 months (range: 1.3?176.9). The cumulative incidences of mESCC were 10.4%, 27.2%, and 61.8% in grades A, B, and C, respectively. An increment of 1 unit (22 g ethanol) of alcohol consumption and higher LVL grade independently increased the risk for mESCC. Alcohol or smoking cessation reduced this risk (hazard ratio [HR] 0.52, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.31?0.88; HR 0.44, 95% CI: 0.25?0.78, respectively), and combined cessation had the greatest impact (HR 0.21, 95% CI: 0.07?0.65). Complete cessation, rather than partial reduction, was necessary to achieve meaningful risk reduction.<br>
Interpretation Alcohol and tobacco exposure, and a large number of LVL, are major determinants of mESCC. Complete cessation markedly reduces risk, underscoring the importance of behavioural interventions for secondary prevention of field carcinogenesis after ER.

kn-title=Prescription Support Practice for Pharmacy Students: Pre-Post Educational Intervention Study
en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=
kn-abstract=Background: In the field of team-based care, pharmacists are vital for optimizing medication therapy. However, many medical professionals lack the opportunity to learn how to propose prescription changes with precision.<br>
Objective: This study aimed to address this knowledge gap by developing and assessing a new educational program for pharmacy students focused on prescription support and interprofessional collaboration.<br>
Methods: We recruited 191 fifth-year pharmaceutical students during the 2022‐2024 academic years. The program featured a 7-day intensive curriculum that included learning how to assist with prescriptions, analyzing clinical data, and engaging in role-playing exercises. A web-based questionnaire and a paper test were used to evaluate students’ awareness and knowledge both before and after the program. Statistical analyses were performed to verify the significance of changes; we utilized the Wilcoxon signed-rank test for the ordinal data derived from the specific behavioral objectives and 2-tailed paired t tests for the interval data from the knowledge tests. The magnitude of change was quantified using r for Wilcoxon tests and Cohen dz for 2-tailed t tests, with 95% CI calculated to ensure the stability and reliability of the observed results.<br>
Results: Analysis of the primary outcome specific behavioral objectives revealed statistically significant effects across all items (Wilcoxon signed-rank test; P<.001). Effect sizes (r=0.505‐0.835) ranged from moderate to large, with particularly large effects observed in identifying contents issue (r=0.835, 95% CI 0.126-0.330; P<.001). Knowledge test scores showed significant improvement in the following 3 subjects: pharmacology (r=?0.504, 95% CI ?0.215 to 0.127; P<.001), organic chemistry (r=0.254, 95% CI ?0.148 to ?0.193; P=.004), and communication (r=0.221, 95% CI ?0.151 to ?0.190; P=.01). No significant changes were observed in pathology or pharmacokinetics.<br>
Conclusions: This program provides strong evidence that practical, hands-on learning with hospital pharmacists helps improve pharmacy students’ professional skills and optimize pharmaceutical therapies in interprofessional care. By teaching pharmacists to effectively propose prescription changes, the program equips them to become integral members of interprofessional care, ultimately leading to optimized pharmaceutical care for patients.

kn-title=Local immune response induced by intra-fin antigen injection in Japanese medaka (Oryzias latipes) is a useful model for immunological studies
en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=
kn-abstract=Teleost fishes play a pivotal role in advancing our understanding of immune system evolution because they retain the ancient characteristics of vertebrate immunity, encompassing both innate and adaptive immune systems. Among these, innate immunity plays a critical role in fish as the first line of defense, coordinating rapid responses to pathogen infections. However, the lack of fish-specific immunological methodologies has limited progress in elucidating fish immune mechanisms. To better understand how the innate immune response develops and resolves in fish, detailed observation and integrative analysis of leukocytes at multiple time points is necessary. In the present study, an intra-fin injection method for observing local immune responses in Japanese medaka (Oryzias latipes) was tested and optimized to analyze the progression of zymosan-induced innate immune responses. Zymosan-injected medaka showed a rapid immune response characterized by leukocyte recruitment and phagocytosis. Using TG(FmpxP:mCherry) transgenic medaka with mCherry fluorescence driven by myeloperoxidase (mpx) promoter, granulocyte chemotaxis towards the site of zymosan entry was successfully visualized. The rapid increase in tumor necrosis factor α (tnfa), interleukin-1β (il1b), interleukin-6 (il6), and CXC motif chemokine ligand 8 (cxcl8) expressions in zymosan-injected anal fins provided a molecular basis for the visualized tissue-specific cellular response. Our study underscores the dynamic orchestration of immune components during the innate immune response in Japanese medaka and highlights their potential as a promising model for immunological research.

kn-title=TRPV2 in muscle satellite cells is crucial for skeletal muscle remodelling
en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=
kn-abstract=Skeletal muscle remodelling relies on muscle stem cells (MuSCs) for regeneration after injury and hypertrophy in response to mechanical loading. However, the mechanisms that trigger MuSC activation and proliferation remain unclear. Transient receptor potential vanilloid 2 (TRPV2) ion channels respond to insulin-like growth factor-1 and mechanical stimuli to regulate the biological characteristics of various cells. Using a temporally inducible MuSC-specific conditional knockout (cKO) mouse, we show that TRPV2 regulates MuSC function and is essential for muscle remodelling. In cultured myofibre, MuSCs express TRPV2 and exhibit Ca2+ responses to the TRPV2 agonists 2-aminoethoxydiphenyl borate and probenecid, which are abolished upon TRPV2 deletion. TRPV2-deficient MuSCs exhibit reduced paired box 7 (Pax7) expression and impaired proliferation, suggesting TRPV2 is a factor that regulates the early stage of MuSC function. Myotube formation in MuSCs was enhanced by overexpression of TRPV2 and suppressed by TRPV2 deficiency, suggesting that TRPV2 is a factor that promotes myogenesis. Muscle-administered cardiotoxin promoted muscle regeneration and resulted in the appearance of numerous Pax7-positive MuSCs between myofibres. MuSC-specific TRPV2 cKO mice exhibit substantially impaired muscle regeneration after cardiotoxin-induced injury, drastically reducing Pax7-positive MuSCs between myofibres. In floxed mice, mechanical loading via synergist ablation induces hypertrophy and greatly increases the number of myonuclei per myofibre. In contrast, MuSC-specific TRPV2 cKO mice show no changes in myofibre thickness or nuclear number, either at baseline or after mechanical loading. Mechanical loading of floxed mice increased TRPV2+/Pax7+ double-positive MuSCs, but MuSC-specific TRPV2 cKO mice showed no change. Additionally, MuSCs exhibit Ca2+ responses to hypo-osmotic stimuli, which are suppressed by TRPV2 inhibitors and TRPV2 deletion, suggesting that MuSCs exhibit TRPV2-dependent mechanical responses. These results establish TRPV2 as a critical regulator of MuSC-mediated muscle remodelling, an important finding that may lead to therapeutic strategies for muscle repair and adaptation.

kn-title=Overexpression of Escherichia coli yaiX Confers Multidrug Resistance and Enhances Virulence in the Silkworm Infection Model
en-subtitle=

en-abstract=
kn-abstract=The emergence of bacteria with both antimicrobial resistance and high virulence has become a global health concern, underscoring the urgent need to elucidate the molecular basis underlying these traits. Here, we employed the silkworm (Bombyx mori) infection model, which is suitable for high-throughput screening, together with an Escherichia coli library containing plasmid clones of all genes from strain W3110, to identify genes whose overexpression enhances virulence. We found that overexpression of the uncharacterized protein YaiX promoted bacterial proliferation in silkworms and increased host lethality. Compared with the empty-vector control, the YaiX-overexpressing strain exhibited resistance to multiple antimicrobial agents with diverse mechanisms of action, including β-lactams, tetracyclines, fluoroquinolones, aminoglycosides, cationic surfactants, and hydrogen peroxide. Sequence analysis revealed that amino acids 18?52 of YaiX contain a transferase hexapeptide domain predicted to form a left-handed parallel β-helix. Overexpression of YaiX mutants lacking regions outside this domain conferred ampicillin resistance, whereas deletion of the hexapeptide domain abolished this phenotype. RNA sequencing and GO enrichment analyses further indicated that YaiX overexpression altered the expression of genes encoding RNA-binding proteins and porins. These findings suggest that YaiX overexpression, through its hexapeptide domain, modulates gene expression and contributes to both multidrug resistance and enhanced virulence in E. coli.

kn-abstract=　本研究は，発達支持的教育相談として実施した強み認識授業が，青年の自己の強み選択の難易度に及ぼす影響を探索的に検討したものである。研究１では中国地方の公立中学校423名を対象にオンラインで，研究２では専門学校学生86名，大学生93名を対象に対面で，強み認識授業を実施し，授業後に，自己の強み選択の難易度を測定した。その結果，すべての群の強み選択の難易度の評価は，平野(2019)と比較して「容易である」との回答傾向を示した(Mdn = ７)。また，３群の強み選択の難易度の分布に統計的な有意差は認められなかった(p = .222)。この知見は，本授業が対象者の発達段階や実施形式(オンライン・対面)に関わらず，普遍的に強み特定を支援する機能を持つ可能性を示唆する。最後に，この知見をもとに，学校現場での教育相談の新たな展開を提言した。

en-abstract=
kn-abstract=　本研究の目的は，小児がんを経験した高校生に対する特別支援教育コーディネーターの支援意識を明らかにすることである。自治体の研修講座に参加した59名を対象に質問紙調査を実施し，23名から回答を得た。量的データは単純集計，自由記述は質的記述的分析により分析した。結果として，小児がん患児に関連する新たな教育施策，特に同時双方向型授業に関する認知度が低く，制度が十分に周知されていない実態が明らかになった。医療関係者との連携については，高い役割意識が示された一方で，病院訪問はあまり重視されていなかった。また，学級通信や教材準備などは必ずしも特別支援教育コーディネーターの役割とは認識されていなかった。自由記述からは，ICT を活用した支援への積極的な姿勢が示されたものの，中学校との連携における情報共有や業務負担に関する課題がみられた。今後，連携に関するガイドラインの整備や情報共有の強化が求められることを指摘した。

en-abstract=
kn-abstract=　本研究は，インドの国家教育政策2020および国家カリキュラム・フレームワーク2023に基づいて作成された NCERT 発行の学校教科書（第3〜8 学年）を対象に，理科的内容を扱う教科の気候変動に関する内容の取り扱いの現状を分析した。分析では UNESCO による SDGs のための教育と Kagawa & Selby の「理解・緩和・適応」の考え方をもとに観点を設け，記述を抽出・分類した。その結果，初等教育段階の「The World Around Us」では生活世界に根ざした環境配慮の態度と行動の基礎形成が重視され，前期中等教育段階の「Science」では科学的な因果関係や気候変動対策の国際的枠組みが導入されており段階的深化が確認された。一方で，概念導入の遅れ，因果連鎖の不統一，行動変容に至る仕組みの弱さ，学際性の不足や語彙や概念の習得のスパイラルな学習の不足が明らかになった。現行教科書は，体系的かつ実効的な気候変動教育には未だ不十分であり，今後の改善が求められることを指摘した。

kn-abstract=　本研究では腎臓におけるろ過後，ろ液の成分がどのような物質で構成されているのか，その後の腎臓での再吸収過程を含めて，中学生の腎機能の理解を促す教材開発を試みた。まず，市販の果汁を含む飲料水をメンブレンフィルターでろ過し，ろ液が透明になるのは不溶性物質が除去されるためであること，また，ろ液の甘さから水溶性の糖分はろ過されることを確認した。開発した腎臓糸球体モデルは，腎小体に見立てた蓋に孔を開けたプラスチック容器，赤血球や血液中に存在する様々な物質を模した色や大きさの異なるビーズ，から構成される。生徒は，この教材を用いた授業実践を経て，血球以外の水溶性成分は要不要に関わらず一旦腎小体でろ過されてしまうこと，生体に必要なブドウ糖は尿細管において能動的に再吸収されることを理解し，腎臓のろ過と再吸収に関する新しい考え方と関連する概念を獲得することができた，と考えられた。本研究で開発した教材を用いることにより，生徒の腎臓の役割についての理解を深化させること，同時に自身の健康への関心を高めさせること，について有効であることが分かった。

en-abstract=
kn-abstract=　This study examined the effectiveness of a preferred character as a stimulus prompt in teaching table-wiping skills to a student with intellectual disability and autism spectrum disorder who had pervasive support needs. A multiple-treatments design was utilized to determine if the projected character prompt strategy was the most effective, followed by the character puppet prompt and the marker prompt. Results indicated that the marker prompt strategy and the projected character strategy were equally effective in helping the student to acquire table-wiping skills and more effective than the character puppet prompt strategy. However, the projected character prompt strategy elicited the most positive expressions and the fewest refusal behaviors. In contrast, the marker prompt strategy induced the fewest positive express ions and the most refusa l behaviors.

en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=
kn-abstract=　児童の幸福や心理的 well-being を高める研究の1つが，よい character の育成を目指す教育研究である。Lavy（2020）は，これには2つの流れがあるとする。１つが character education，もう１つは character strengths education である。本稿では，まずこの2つの特徴について解説して世界の流れを示し，次にポジティブ心理学に基づく character strengths education の限界点を指摘した。具体的には，その原典となるVIA-IS（Peterson & Seligman, 2004）について，東アジアにおける強みと well-being の関連研究がほとんど成されていないこと，加えて児童期の教育的介入の成果がほとんど見られないことを指摘した。これらの検討を通して，児童期の認知特性や発達段階に応じた，児童の負荷の少ない身体活動量，習慣形成の視点で character の育成を目指す教育的介入の可能性について議論した。

en-abstract=
kn-abstract=　本研究では，大学部活動のチームにおける目標設定が部活動適応感に及ぼす影響について，個人目標と集団目標の整合性に着目して検討した。大学生187 名を対象に質問紙調査を実施し，個人目標・集団目標の4 要素（困難度，具体性，関与度，フィードバック），目標の整合性，そして部活動適応感を測定した。重回帰分析の結果，目標の整合性は，「活動への傾倒」と「組織・成員への満足」に正の効果を示した。また，集団目標の関与度も適応感を高める要因であった。さらに，整合性は目標要素の効果を調整していた。整合性が高い場合には個人目標への関与度が「活動への傾倒」を促進し，低い場合には集団目標のフィードバックが補完的に機能していた。これらの知見から，目標の整合性が，個人目標と集団目標の葛藤を緩和し，部活動における心理的適応を支える重要な要因であることが示唆された。

en-abstract=
kn-abstract=　マインドワンダリング(以下MW)は心が自己内の複数の領域をさまようことで, 新たな気づきや発想
が生まれる土壌になるとされる。本稿では，この創造性を検討するため，水間(2003)を参考に，自己嫌悪
場面で生起する4 つの反応についての研究モデルを用いてこの創造性を検討した。その際，MW とその
他の類似の内省を区別するため，自己嫌悪場面で生起する内言として自己注目(省察・反芻), 自己への没
入(MW・空想)の4 つを想定した。またその内言が自己の成長にとって意味のある内言か否かを判断する
指標として本来感を用いた。分析の結果, 本来感高群において, MW による集中力の欠如が人の思考を
多領域にさまよわせ, 内的な個性の創造と内的な個人の成長を促すことが示された。また低群において
省察は自分らしさを求め変容を目指す意識が促進されることが示された。他方, 反芻と空想はいずれの
反応様式にも関わっていないことがわかった。

kn-abstract=　本論は，ジャーマン・インパクトを視座として，19-20 世紀にかけて教員養成改革がいかに展開されてきたのかを解明する研究の一部をなすものである。ここでは20 世紀初頭のイギリス教員がどのようにヘルバルト学派の教育思想を受容したのかを明らかにすることを目的とし，『ヘルバルト教授法にかんする授業ノート』の分析を行った。その結果，以下の共通点と相違点が明らかとなった。授業冒頭において目的を明らかにし，授業で学ばれる内容へと子どもの意識を集中させ，新しい知識を教授するという流れは，ヘルバルト学派の五段階教授法と共通していた。だが，第四および第五段階については大胆な変更が施されていた。20 世紀初頭のイギリス教員がヘルバルト学派の教育思想を正確に受容するよりも選択的に受容した可能性があることを解明した。

en-abstract=
kn-abstract=　本論文では，専門職としての教職員の学びを保障する研修のあり方を検討し，とくに大学が果たす役割と課題について考察する。教職員の学びは教育委員会での研修，勤務校園での研修，教職大学院での学修，研究団体での研修などにおいて展開される。大学が開発・実施する研修はこれらとどう関連し，どのような特色をもつか。独立行政法人教職員支援機構（以下，NITS）岡山大学センターの活動を通して検討する。そして，大学は教職員の学びのニーズに応える側にあるだけでなく，教職員の学びを再構成し，自律的協働的な学びを支援・促進していく側としての役割を果たすものであることを考察する。また，大学おけるアウトカム重視の研修開発の必要性を指摘し，今後の取組の課題として示す。

kn-title=The Qualification Examination for Specialists and Instructors in the Japanese Society of Neuroendovascular Therapy: History and Current Status
en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=
kn-abstract=Neuroendovascular therapy is a key treatment for cerebrovascular disorders, driven by advancements in devices and techniques. The Japanese Society for Neuroendovascular Therapy (JSNET) established a certification system in 1997 to ensure operator competence and minimize complications, with the first examination in 2002. JSNET offers 2 main certifications: specialist and instructor. Specialists perform basic procedures, while instructors lead in practice, education, and research. In 2020, the mechanical thrombectomy practitioner qualification was added to promote mechanical thrombectomy. Applicants must have a JSNET membership, relevant certifications, training, and documented experience. The certification process includes rigorous written and practical examinations that now employ non-fluoroscopic models. Certification renewal every 5 years requires conference participation and a continuing education program. Public awareness and integration into stroke center designations have grown. Over 2200 specialists, including more than 500 instructors, have been certified, significantly advancing neuroendovascular therapy in Japan. JSNET aims to continue improving certification and education to maintain high standards.

kn-title=Examining OpenFOAM-based LES analysis in terms of inviscid energy conservation and viscous turbulence decay
en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=
kn-abstract=The present study examines an OpenFOAM-based LES analysis from the viewpoints of inviscid energy conservation and viscous turbulence decay. The Smagorinsky model is employed as the sub-grid scale (SGS) model, and a two-dimensional periodic analytical solution and a three-dimensional periodic Taylor-Green vortex (TGV) are employed to represent inviscid flows. The analytical relationship for the kinetic energy K, dK/dt = 0, with t as the dimensionless time, is utilized to validate the OpenFOAM results. For the viscous flow case, the TGV flow in a three-dimensional periodic cubic domain is adopted, and its turbulence kinetic energy distribution is compared with that obtained by a spectral method to examine the analysis. The OpenFOAM-based analysis exhibits energy conservation error in flows that should ideally conserve energy. For the two-dimensional flow, this error decreases with increasing grid resolution N. However, in the three-dimensional flow, the error does not improve even with higher N. In the three-dimensional TGV flow, the turbulence kinetic energy predicted by OpenFOAM exhibits a strong agreement with that from the spectral method when a standard constant value of the Smagorinsky model is employed and the mesh is sufficiently refined. Conversely, for a condition of relatively coarse mesh, the decay characteristics of turbulent kinetic energy deviate from those of the spectral method, and a higher constant value of the Smagorinsky model than the default value becomes necessary to reproduce comparable results. These results suggests that even in LES simulations where highly accurate conservation laws are not satisfied, adjusting the model constants so that the predicted values match experimental or numerical reference data can improve the apparent reliability of the turbulent kinetic energy in the decaying turbulence.

kn-title=Synthesis and applications of porous carbonaceous materials with inherited molecular structural features from the precursor molecules
en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=
kn-abstract=The carbonization of organic crystalline materials, such as metal organic frameworks and covalent organic frameworks, has emerged as a promising approach for producing functional porous carbonaceous materials. However, both the chemically defined long-term ordered structures and the local chemical structures derived from these precursor materials are generally lost, resulting in amorphous carbons. As a result, controlling the molecular-level structure of nanoporous carbons remains a significant challenge. We report a new bottom-up synthesis approach for porous carbons with a molecular-level design, involving the carbonization of well-designed precursor molecules by thermal polymerization. Among the resulting carbons, ordered carbonaceous frameworks, which contain a high-density of regularly aligned single-atomic metal species, have been identified as promising platforms for single-atom catalysts. This approach also enables the synthesis of various three-dimensional porous carbons that reflect the structural features of their precursor molecules. Recent progress in the synthesis and applications of porous carbons derived from molecular precursors is summarized, highlighting their potential for the development of functional materials.

kn-title=Chloroplast heat shock protein cpHsc70-1 interacts with thylakoid membrane remodeling protein VIPP1 C-terminal tail and controls VIPP1 oligomer assembly
en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=
kn-abstract=Oxygenic photosynthetic organisms depend on the thylakoid membranes (TMs) for light-driven energy conversion. Recent studies on TM homeostasis (thylakostasis) have highlighted the essential role of the TM remodeling protein vesicle-inducing protein in plastid 1 (VIPP1). As a member of the endosomal sorting complexes required for transport-III (ESCRT-III)/phage shock protein A (PspA)/VIPP1 superfamily, VIPP1 forms large ring- and filament-like homo-oligomeric structures that exhibit a membrane remodeling activity. The oligomerization status was proposed to be modulated by the intrinsically disordered C-terminal tail (Vc), whereas its functional role remained unclear. Notably, this Vc region is conserved not only in photosynthetic VIPP1 but also in the PspA proteins of extremophilic species, implicating its role in membrane stress responses. To investigate the role of the Vc region in VIPP1 assembly, we performed coimmunoprecipitation assays in Arabidopsis chloroplasts and identified chloroplast-localized HSP70 proteins (cpHsc70) as major interactors. Among the two isoforms, cpHsc70-1 was found to be specifically required for modulating VIPP1 oligomeric assembly and dynamics in response to heat stress. Genetic analyses revealed that cpHsc70-1 facilitates the disassembly of VIPP1 oligomers, similarly to Vps4 ATPase in ESCRT-III; loss of either the Vc region or cpHsc70-1-impaired VIPP1 disassembly, resulting in more static oligomeric structures. Furthermore, cpHsc70-1 exhibited a broader role in chloroplast proteostasis, as the cphsc70-1 mutant showed impaired accumulation of green fluorescent protein (GFP)-fusion proteins. Together, our findings uncover a crucial crosstalk between proteostasis and thylakostasis in chloroplasts, coordinated by cpHsc70-1 and VIPP1 in response to membrane stress.

kn-title=TeMPRA: advancing continuing professional development in pediatric rheumatology in Japan
en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=
kn-abstract=Background In the context of the global shortage of pediatric rheumatologists, mid-career specialists who can play key roles in regional education, research, and clinical practice have become increasingly important. In Japan, the Team of Mid-career Pediatric Rheumatologists Alliance (TeMPRA) was founded in 2014 to support continuing professional development (CPD) and foster collaboration among mid-career pediatric rheumatologists. The aim of this study was to characterize the current status and future perspectives of the TeMPRA members.<br>
Methods In 2024, a cross-sectional, web-based survey was conducted among all 37 active members of the TeMPRA across Japan. Data were collected on career trajectories, educational roles, research activities, clinical practices, and international engagement. Categorical variables were compared using appropriate statistical tests, with a significance level of 0.05.<br>
Results Responses were obtained from 35 members (response rate: 95%). Most respondents (71%) were affiliated with university hospitals, and 60% had?>?10 years of experience in pediatric rheumatology. Compared with those working in community hospitals, respondents affiliated with university hospitals were significantly more likely to be involved in research activities (50% vs. 0%, P?=?0.0261) and global professional contributions (88% vs. 0%, P?<?0.0001). Overall, 54% of respondents were engaged in teaching students or early-career pediatric rheumatologists, while 43% were involved in clinical or basic research, most commonly focusing on juvenile idiopathic arthritis and systemic lupus erythematosus. Collectively, respondents were responsible for the care of 1,677 children with pediatric rheumatic diseases. While all respondents reported willingness to contribute to pediatric rheumatology at the regional level, 94% and 71% reported willingness to contribute at the national and global levels, respectively.<br>
Conclusions This nationwide survey highlights the substantial educational roles, research activities, and clinical practices of mid-career pediatric rheumatologists in Japan and suggests that the TeMPRA framework can serve as a valuable model for supporting CPD and workforce sustainability. Similar alliance-based approaches may be applicable in other countries facing comparable challenges in pediatric rheumatology.

kn-title=Towards place-responsive climate change education: Mongolian primary teachers’ pedagogical judgement across urban and rural contexts
en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=
kn-abstract=Climate change education (CCE) in primary schools is increasingly recognised as essential, yet how teachers interpret and enact CCE across diverse local contexts remains underexplored. This study examines how Mongolian primary school teachers working with students aged 6?11 in urban and rural contexts interpret and teach climate change, with particular attention to the role of place. Drawing on semi-structured interviews with 20 teachers across contrasting contexts, the study explores how environmental, cultural, and institutional conditions shape teachers’ pedagogical interpretations and classroom practices. Data were analysed using reflexive thematic analysis, informed by conceptual frameworks that position place as an active mediator of teaching and learning. Findings show that rural teachers frequently integrated traditional ecological knowledge and lived environmental experience to connect global climate processes with locally observable ecological change, emphasising livelihood impacts and intergenerational ecological memory. Urban teachers, by contrast, framed climate change through anthropogenic pressures such as air pollution, waste, and infrastructure constraints, foregrounding feasible individual actions within everyday school contexts. Across both settings, teachers exercised place-responsive pedagogical judgement by selectively adapting climate content to local realities while navigating curriculum constraints and workload pressures. The study contributes a place-responsive account of teachers’ pedagogical judgement in CCE, demonstrating how place functions not only as context but as a condition shaping pedagogical feasibility.

kn-title=Robotic distal pancreatectomy using two-surgeon technique (TAKUMI-4): a technical note and initial outcomes
en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=
kn-abstract=Purpose With the increasing use of minimally invasive distal pancreatectomy, the use of robotic distal pancreatectomy (RDP) is also increasing worldwide. Standardized surgical protocols are essential for safe implementation of RDP. In this study, we present our surgical protocol and initial outcomes of RDP using “two-surgeon technique”.<br>
Methods Our standard RDP protocol included a two-surgeon technique for cooperation, rationality, and education. Short-term outcomes of RDP were also investigated. This retrospective study included 77 consecutive patients who underwent RDP at our institution between April 2021 and January 2025.<br>
Results The median operative time, estimated blood loss, and postoperative hospital stay were 214 min (interquartile range [IQR], 176?253), 10 mL (IQR, 0?50), and 9 days (IQR, 8?10), respectively. A textbook outcome was achieved in 84.4% of patients. Moreover, superior outcomes of RDP (n?=?77) compared with those of laparoscopic distal pancreatectomy (n?=?62) were confirmed in this study.<br>
Conclusion Using the two-surgeon technique, we successfully standardized and introduced the RDP program. The two-surgeon technique can contribute to the safe introduction of RDP and expansion of the program.

kn-title=LES analysis to investigate a random-phase forcing scheme for steadying anisotropic turbulence fields
en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=
kn-abstract=The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of phase randomization on forcing mechanisms that stabilize localized turbulence. A trigonometric forcing based on vector potential is combined with uniform random numbers to create a spatially homogeneous forcing field. The analysis is performed using large-eddy simulation (LES) with the Smagorinsky model as the subgrid scale model. The results demonstrate that steady flows are generated regardless of the presence of phase randomization, successfully forming isotropic turbulence. In contrast, for anisotropic turbulent fields, the addition of phase randomization reduces the degree of anisotropy, indicating a smoothing effect on the anisotropy of the flow.

kn-title=Fundamental examination of coherent structure model prediction using vortex cores in a two-dimensional Taylor’s analytical solution
en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=
kn-abstract=This study focuses on the possibility that flow around vortex tubes in turbulence may resemble laminar flow, and aims to describe the characteristics of turbulent fields using analytical solutions to the governing equations. In the two-dimensional analytical Taylor solution, the velocity and pressure fields are expressed by trigonometric functions, and a structure in which counter-rotating vortices are arranged in a grid pattern is demonstrated. This solution is used to verify the accuracy of numerical analyses and is expected to contribute to a simple yet unambiguous description of turbulent fields based on vortex structures. Predictions of sub-grid scale components and validation of a coherent structure model using invariants of the velocity gradient tensor are also performed.

en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=
kn-abstract=This practical report introduces three intercultural collaborative trial classes designed to integrate Japanese and international students in first-year EFL classes. Using a CLIL-informed approach, the classes promoted intercultural understanding through culturally grounded activities and small-group communication tasks. Reflection surveys from both Japanese and international participants revealed overall positive experiences, with international students expressing strong enjoyment and Japanese students highlighting both linguistic gains and communication challenges. Analysis indicates that interaction across diverse cultural and linguistic backgrounds fostered intercultural awareness while motivating Japanese learners to further develop their speaking skills. The findings support the value of collaborative, content-based activities for enhancing intercultural understanding.

en-abstract=Promoting accessible outdoor tourism requires balancing conservation and protection with development. Therefore, this study aims to enable as many people as possible to participate in outdoor activities. This verification examines whether tours using outdoor wheelchairs can be conducted within World Natural Heritage sites. To achieve tourism that leaves no one behind, we believe the most reliable approach is to gradually expand the scope of accessible outdoor tourism through the accumulation of individual practices, even if progress is incremental.
kn-abstract=アクセシブルアウトドアツーリズムを進めていくためには，「保全・保護」と「開発」の両立が非常に重要な観点となる。そこで本実践では，一人でも多くの人がアウトドア活動に参加できることを目指し，世界自然遺産地域においてアウトドア型車椅子を用いたツアーが実現できるかどうかを検討することとした。「誰ひとり取り残さない観光」とは，世界観光倫理憲章でも標榜された目標であるが，このことを実現するためには，今回検討を行ったような一つ一つの実践を積み重ねることによって，少しずつであってもアクセシブルアウトドアツーリズムの可能範囲を広げていくことが，最も確実な取り組みなのではないかと考えている。

en-title=Redesigning Writing Instruction through Peer?AI?Instructor Collaborative Triadic Feedback：Integrating AI in an Academic Writing Course
kn-title=ピア・AI・教員の三者協働フィードバックによるライティング授業の再設計 ―AI利用の実践報告−
en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=This paper presents the design of a triadic feedback model for an academic writing course that clarifies the role allocation and sequencing of feedback among peers, AI, and the instructor (student’s own draft → peer feedback → AI feedback（→ metacognitive reflection )→teacher feedback), and it describes its implementation and evaluation in 2024?2025. Post-course student surveys valued AI’s immediacy and capacity for elaboration, while also expressing concerns about dependence and limits to its effectiveness. Grade distributions showed a contraction of the lower-performing band after the introduction of the model, suggesting an overall uplift in learning outcomes. To counter misuse AI, explicit in-class instruction on constructive use, such as privileging diagnostic feedback over canned text and requiring metacognitive justification for accepting or rejecting AI suggestions, proved effective. We thus present the effectiveness and remaining challenges of a course design that leverages AI’s potential while keeping human judgment and ethics at its core.
kn-abstract=本稿は、アカデミック・ライティング授業におけるピア・AI・教員のそれぞれの役割と利用順序（自分→ピア→AI→（省察）→教員）を組み込んだ三者協働モデルを設計し、2024〜2025年度に実践した内容を報告する。授業後の学生アンケートでは、AIの即時性・精緻化が評価される一方、依存や有効性の限界に関する懸念も表明された。成績分布においては、AI導入後に下位層が縮小し、学習成果の底上げが示唆された。また、AI誤用や濫用を防ぐには、教室内で建設的な利用法の具体的な指導（例：例文より診断的フィードバックを重視、AI提案の採否理由のメタ記述）が効果的であった。これらの結果から、AIの利点を活かしつつ、学生の判断を中心に据えるライティング授業設計の有効性と課題を提示する。

kn-abstract=　This study examines the implementation of the instruction for extensive reading in Chinese among 19 learners who completed one year of beginner-level Chinese studies comprising two 100-minute sessions per week. Regarding survey methods, a questionnaire using a five-point Likert scale and open-ended responses was utilized. The findings revealed that learners recognized extensive reading as an effective strategy for improving their reading comprehension and vocabulary. However, some challenges exist, including the lack of suitable books for extensive reading practices and difficulties in sustaining extensive reading habits.

en-title=Chi no Tanken (Inquiries of Knowledge) meets Multicultural Collaborative Learning：Transforming a Japanese Online Course for Global Learners
kn-title=「知の探研」× 多文化共修 ―オンライン授業再構築の試み―
en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=Okayama University launched a new undergraduate curriculum in April 2025. As part of this reform, Chi no Tanken, a general education course required for incoming students, was introduced. This paper reports on the first-year implementation of the course, offered in English as Inquiries of Knowledge, for students in the Discovery Program for Global Learners, many of whom are international students. Reconstructing the on-demand online course from a multicultural collaborative learning perspective required more than simply translating the materials into English. It also necessitated developing pedagogical strategies to foster collaborative learning in the online environment and to integrate linguistic and cultural considerations.
kn-abstract=岡山大学では2025年4月入学生から新カリキュラムがスタートした。学士課程改革の一環として導入されたのが全学共通・課題探究科目「知の探研」である。本稿では，新入生対象科目である「知の探研」を，海外生を含むグローバル・ディスカバリー・プログラム生向けに英語で “Inquiries of Knowledge” として開講した初年度の取り組みを報告する。とりわけオンデマンド型オンライン授業を, 本学が推進する多文化共修の視点で再構築するにあたり，教材を単に英訳するのではなく, オンライン環境においても協働学習を実現する工夫や，言語的・文化的配慮の統合が不可欠であることを明らかにする。

kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=Okayama University has implemented a comprehensive reform of its English curriculum as part of Target2025, a university-wide initiative launched in response to the new Course of Study issued by MEXT. The reform fosters close collaboration between the English section and other faculties to support undergraduate English learning across the university. We interviewed role models−successful English learners recommended by their faculties−about how they learned English. We also shared messages of encouragement for new students, which were recorded and shown during the orientation for English courses. This paper reviews the interview and orientation process, as well as first-year students’ responses to a subsequent survey.
kn-abstract=岡山大学では新学習指導要領実施に合わせ、「学習者中心の学び」の実現を目指すTarget2025と呼ばれる方針のもと英語カリキュラムの改革を進めてきた。この改革では、英語系教員と各部局とが密に連携しながら、学士課程全体を通した英語学習を全学的に展開していくことに焦点を当てている。その取り組みの一環として、各部局から推薦を受けたロールモデルとの学部別インタビューを実施し、英語学習についての詳細を聴き取った。また、新入生への激励のメッセージ動画を作成し、英語授業オリエンテーションで上映した。本稿では、インタビューで得られたナラティブやオリエンテーション実施の経緯、また、オリエンテーション後に実施したアンケート結果について報告する。

kn-title=From The Odyssey to The Zahir：The Evolution of Penelopeia Across Time and Tradition
en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=
kn-abstract=The story of a man who leaves home and strives to return has become one of the most enduring narrative patterns in world literature and folklore. Across centuries and cultures, it has been retold in myths, epics, folktales, and modern fiction?the story of the homecoming hero who, after long absence and peril, finds his way back to the place and the person he once called his own. This study explores the persistence and transformation of this universal motif through a comparative reading of Homer’s The Odyssey and Paulo Coelho’s The Zahir. It examines the evolving image of the waiting wife?from Homer’s Penelopeia, emblem of chastity and endurance, to Coelho’s Esther, a modern woman of independence and choice. Despite differences in setting, voice, and moral vision, both works embody the same human longing: to return, to be recognized, and to rediscover love that endures time and change. Beneath their differences lies the same truth?the heart to which every journey, whether physical or spiritual, must ultimately return.

kn-title=Developing a Short-form Scale to Assess Learner Beliefs Regarding English Learning Strategies
en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=
kn-abstract=Questionnaire surveys are a prevalent method in applied linguistics for investigating complex constructs, such as learner beliefs. However, their complex nature often creates overly lengthy instruments, making them impractical for classroom use or for obtaining timely educational insights. This study aimed to develop a simplified, yet robust version of an existing learner belief scale to address these challenges. The authors carefully selected 24 belief-specific items from an initial pool of 78 items from a previous study for use in an online survey, which was completed by 246 participants. The data were subject to exploratory factor analysis. This process resulted in a concise 12-item scale, could offer a more practical tool for language educators.

en-abstract=　This study aimed to investigate how well parents of high school students with developmental disabilities are aware of support for students with disabilities and student counseling at universities, how they obtained information about these services, and what kind of information dissemination do you expect from universities when seeking information about these services. The results revealed that parents are not sufficiently informed about university student support services. Parents are requesting the holding of information sessions and consultation meetings regarding student support. Furthermore, It is necessary to actively disseminate information to high school teachers and further promote high school-university collaboration initiatives.
kn-abstract=　本研究では，発達障害を有する高校生の保護者が，「大学等における障害学生支援や学生相談をどの程度知っているか」，「大学等における障害学生支援や学生相談の情報をどのように入手したか」，「大学等における障害学生支援や学生相談の情報収集をする上で，大学等にどのような情報発信を期待するか」について調査を行った。その結果，まだ保護者に対し，十分に大学の学生支援の情報が行き届いていないこと，学生支援に関する情報発信を行う説明会や相談会を行うことが保護者から期待されていること，発達障害を有する高校生の高大移行を促進するために，高校の先生方に対する情報発信も精力的に行ったり，高大連携の取り組みをより行う必要があること等が見出された。

en-title=Reconsidering the Sources of the Modern Korean Reader Textbook Chodeung-sohak
kn-title=近代韓国の読本教科書『初等小学』の底本に関する再考
en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=　This study examines the Japanese Meiji-period reader textbooks that appear to have been consulted in the compilation of the Korean modern reader textbook Chodeung-sohak(1906). While reviewing prior research, this paper newly identifies two previously unnoted source textbooks: one published by Kink?d? in 1894 and another by Fuky?sya in 1893. The findings indicate that the Meiji-period reader most frequently referenced in Chodeung-sohak was Jinj? Kokugo Tokuhon published by Kink?d? in 1900. Overall, it can be concluded that Chodeung-sohak relied primarily on the comparatively recent elementary-level readers issued by Kink?d? and the Ministry of Education. 
kn-abstract=　本稿では、近代韓国の読本教科書『初等小学』（1906）の編纂において参照されたと思われる日本の明治期読本教科書について比較・考察を行った。まず、文部省編纂の検定『尋常小学読本』（1887）と第1期国定『尋常小学読本』（1903）、さらに金港堂出版の『尋常国語読本』（1900）及び『高等国語読本』（1900）との関連性について、先行研究の議論を再検討した。そのうえで、新たに金港堂の『新体読本 尋常小学用』（1894）と普及舎の『尋常小学新読本』（1893）の2種を底本として確認することができた。『初等小学』において最も多く参照された明治期読本教科書は金港堂の『尋常国語読本』（1900）であり、『初等小学』は、金港堂と文部省の比較的新しい尋常小学用読本教科書を優先的に参照したと思われる。

en-title=Criteria for Faculty Decision-Making Regarding the Acceptance of International Students：From the perspective of faculty who accept many international students
kn-title=留学生受け入れにおける教員の判断基準 ―多くの留学生を受け入れている教員の視点から―
en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=　The declining birth rate significantly impacts domestic universities' enrolment, creating high expectations for increased international student intake. Within postgraduate education, however, a divide exists between faculty members who are and aren't proactive in accepting them. This study used semi-structured interviews to clarify the criteria faculty members use when accepting international students. The findings showed that while terminology varied, faculty commonly considered both “character” and “ability”. Furthermore, faculty who viewed international admissions positively had either studied or conducted research abroad and/or gained positive experiences from supervising their first international students. These factors fostered positive impressions and led to more proactive acceptance.
kn-abstract=　少子化は国内大学の定員充足率に深刻な影響を与えることから、留学生の受入増に期待が寄せられている。しかし、大学院教育において留学生受入に前向きな教員と、消極的な教員が見受けられる。本研究では、より多くの留学生を受け入れている教員が、どのような判断基準で受け入れを決定しているのかを、半構造化インタビューを通じて明らかにすることを試みた。その結果、判断基準に関しては、教員により表現は異なるが「人物」と「能力」を確認していることが分かった。また、受け入れを前向きに考える教員は、留学・在外研究員経験や、初めて受け入れた留学生指導を通じて良い経験をしたこと等が、留学生に対するプラスの印象をつくり、積極的な受け入れにつながっていることが明らかになった。

en-title=The Mediating Role of Self-Understanding in the Association Between Autistic Traits and Mental Health
kn-title=自閉スペクトラム症特性と精神的健康の関連：自己理解による媒介効果の検討
en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=　This study examined whether positive and negative dimensions of self-understanding mediate the association between autistic traits and mental health in the general population. Analyzing cross-sectional data from 604 non-clinical Japanese adults, we found that higher autistic traits were significantly associated with poorer mental health. This association was partially mediated by the positive dimension of self-understanding, whereas the negative dimension did not mediate. Exploratory analyses suggested that this protective effect may be more pronounced in women than in men. These findings identify positive self-understanding as an actionable target for support and underscore the value of gender-informed approaches.
kn-abstract= 本研究は、自閉スペクトラム症特性と精神的健康の関連において、自己理解がどのような役割を果たすかを明らかにすることを目的とした。日本の成人604名のデータを利用した二次分析の結果、自閉スペクトラム症特性の高さと精神的健康の悪化との間には関連が認められた。この関連は、自己理解の肯定的側面によって部分的に媒介されることが示された。特にこの自己理解の保護的な効果は、男性よりも女性においてより強い可能性が示唆された。一方で、自己理解の否定的側面は媒介効果を示さなかった。これらの結果から、自閉スペクトラム症特性を持つ人々への支援において、肯定的な自己理解を促進することが重要であり、性差を考慮したアプローチの必要性が示唆された。

kn-title=オンラインによるボランティア日本語教室における参加者間のインターアクションの分析 ―地域型日本語教育の実現に向けて―
en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=This study investigates interactional dynamics within an online volunteer-based Japanese language classroom, with the aim of contributing to the development of a community-based instructional model. Employing the FLint system, the research analyzes the speech patterns and instructional behaviors of both supporters and learners in classroom settings characterized by community-oriented features. The analysis yielded the following findings: (1) the mean number of utterances produced by supporters was greater than that of learners; and (2) the average amount of indirect behavior in supporters’ utterances by slightly exceeded that of direct behavior. In the interactive style, supporters were observed to actively employ subcategories of indirect behaviors?such as questioning, using ideas of learners, and repeating learner responses?in order to scaffold the learners’ process of verbalizing their intended messages.

en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=　Reflective practice is crucial for psychological clinicians, who participate in it in diverse group formats. This study analyzed discussions among psychological clinicians using the KJ method to explore their experiences in both general colleague (Study 1) and continuous groups (Study 2). Four aspects were found to be crucial for psychological clinicians’ reflective practice in group experiences, including whether the experience leads to introspection. Furthermore, gaining such insights as awareness of one’s fundamental human sensations and desires or of the factors restricting one’s freedom was found to constitute meaningful reflective practice in continuous groups.
kn-abstract=　心理臨床家にとって反省的実践は重要であり，多様な形態のグループに参加をすることによって反省的実践を行っている。本研究では，全般的な心理臨床家同士のグループにおける体験（研究1）および継続的なグループにおける体験（研究2）を探索することを目的として，数名の心理臨床家による話し合いをKJ法を援用して分析した。その結果，心理臨床家同士のグループ体験における反省的実践には，【グループ体験が内省につながるかどうか】などの4つ側面が重要であることが示された。また，継続的なグループにおける体験では，《本来の人としての感覚や欲求》や《自分を不自由にしている要因》などの【会における気づき】が得られることが反省的実践として有意義であることが明らかになった。

en-abstract=To explore the relationship between sexual/gender fluidity and ADHD, a longitudinal web-based survey was conducted with adults aged 18 and over. The first survey collected responses from 11,018 participants, and the second, one year later, from 5,474. Participants were divided into four groups based on changes in identification with various aspects of sexuality. A one-way ANOVA showed that, except for “demiromantic” and “demisexual,” most sexualities (excluding “heterosexual” and “gay”) were associated with significantly higher ADHD scores in those who shifted from identifying to not identifying. These findings suggest a potential association between sexual/gender fluidity and ADHD.

kn-title=Comparison of bioavailability of quercetin and its structural analogs in mice
en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=
kn-abstract=Flavonoids are thought to provide beneficial effects on health. However, there are still uncertainties regarding their bioavailability. In this study, we investigated the bioavailability of 6 flavonoids, galangin, kaempferol, quercetin, myricetin, fisetin, and luteolin, by oral administration to mice. Analysis of plasma concentrations of free flavonoids after deconjugation by LC-MS/MS revealed that all flavonoids were rapidly absorbed after administration. Among 6 flavonoids, kaempferol and fisetin showed high absorbed amounts in blood plasma. With the LogP value of the two flavonoids as the maximum value, the amount absorbed decreased for both lower and higher LogP values. The results of the tissue distribution of galangin, kaempferol, and quercetin suggested that the order of fastest movement from the stomach to the small intestine was kaempferol?>?quercetin?>?galangin. In addition, the amount of kaempferol and quercetin distributed in the liver was greater than that of galangin. These results suggest that the bioavailability of flavonoids varies with the slight structural differences, possibly due to differences in their rapid accessibility to the small intestine that is the primary site of absorption and metabolism within the body.

kn-title=Feedback-Controlled Beam Pattern Measurement Method Using a Power-Variable Calibration Source for Cosmic Microwave Background Telescopes
en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=
kn-abstract=We demonstrate a novel beam pattern measurement method for the side lobe characterization of cosmic microwave background telescopes. The method employs a power-variable artificial microwave source under feedback control from the detector under test on the telescope. It enables us to extend the dynamic range of the beam pattern measurement without introducing nonlinearity effects from the detector. We conducted a laboratory-based proof-of-concept experiment, measuring the H-plane beam pattern of a horn antenna coupled to a diode detector at 81 GHz. We gained an additional dynamic range of 60.3 dB attributed to the feedback control. In addition, we verified the measurement by comparing it with other reference measurements obtained using conventional methods. The method is also applicable to general optical measurements requiring a high dynamic range to detect subtle nonidealities in the characteristics of optical devices.

kn-title=An AI-Driven System for Learning MQTT Communication Protocols with Python Programming
en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=
kn-abstract=With rapid developments of wireless communication and Internet of Things (IoT) technologies, an increasing number of devices and sensors are interconnected, generating massive amounts of data in real time. Among the underlying protocols, Message Queuing Telemetry Transport (MQTT) has become a widely adopted lightweight publish?subscribe standard due to its simplicity, minimal overhead, and scalability. Then, understanding such protocols is essential for students and engineers engaging in IoT application system designs. However, teaching and learning MQTT remains challenging for them. Its asynchronous architecture, hierarchical topic structure, and constituting concepts such as retained messages, Quality of Service (QoS) levels, and wildcard subscriptions are often difficult for beginners. Moreover, traditional learning resources emphasize theory and provide limited hands-on guidance, leading to a steep learning curve. To address these challenges, we propose an AI-assisted, exercise-based learning platform for MQTT. This platform provides interactive exercises with intelligent feedback to bridge the gap between theory and practice. To lower the barrier for learners, all code examples for executing MQTT communication are implemented in Python for readability, and Docker is used to ensure portable deployments of the MQTT broker and AI assistant. For evaluations, we conducted a usability study using two groups. The first group, who has no prior experience, focused on fundamental concepts with AI-guided exercises. The second group, who has relevant background, engaged in advanced projects to apply and reinforce their knowledge. The results show that the proposed platform supports learners at different levels, reduces frustrations, and improves both engagement and efficiency.

kn-title=Kinesiophobia Is Associated with Disability, Poor Quality of Life, Psychological Morbidity, and Surgery Dissatisfaction in Patients with Lumbar Microdiscetomy: A Cross-Sectional Controlled Study
en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=
kn-abstract=The study aimed to determine the prevalence of kinesiophobia in patients who had undergone lumbar microdiscectomy and to examine its associations with pain intensity, disability, quality of life, depression, anxiety, and satisfaction with surgery. Forty-eight patients with microdiscectomy and 48 healthy controls were enrolled. The Tampa Scale for Kinesiophobia (TSK), Roland-Morris Disability Index (RMDI), Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS-A and HADS-D, respectively), and Short Form-36 Health Survey (SF-36) were administered to both groups. The scores of TSK, RMDI, HADS-A, and HADS-D were significantly higher and SF-36 scores were significantly lower in the microdiscectomy than the control group (p<0.001 for all). In the microdiscectomy group, median (min-max) RMDI, HADS-A, and HADS-D scores were 19 (4-34), 10 (0-18), and 9 (0-18), respectively, in kinesiophobic patients, and were significantly higher than 6 (2-20), 3 (0-11), 2.5 (0-11) in non-kinesiophobic patients (all p<0.001). The median (min-max) SF-36 PCS, SF-36 MCS, and VAS scores for surgery satisfaction were 36.5 (8.7-75), 52.1 (11-95), 5, 5 (0-10), respectively, in kinesiophobic patients and were significantly lower than 71 (28-95), 85.5 (9-93), 8.5 (3-10) in non-kinesiophobic patients (all p<0.05). TSK scores were significantly correlated with RMDI, HADS-A, HADS-D, SF-36, and surgery satisfaction scores (all p<0.05). Kinesiophobic patients with lumbar microdiscectomy therefore showed greater disability and psychological morbidity, poorer quality of life, and lower satisfaction with surgery.

kn-title=A retrospective cohort study comparing periodontal regeneration using fibroblast growth factor‐2 versus autologous bone graft
en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=
kn-abstract=Background: Fibroblast growth factor-2 (FGF-2) is a novel agent utilized in periodontal regeneration therapy. However, its clinical efficacy compared with autologous bone graft (ABG), a long-established treatment, remains unclear. This study aimed to compare the clinical outcomes of FGF-2 and ABG and to assess the impact of patient background factors on outcomes when using FGF-2.<br>
Methods: We collected the subjects from January 2013 to September 2023. Clinical outcomes included the vertical bone defect improvement rate (VBDIR) and the probing pocket depth improvement (PPDI). Clinical outcomes between the two groups were compared using analysis of covariance (ANCOVA), adjusting for age, sex, smoking history, and hypertension. Additionally, a multilevel linear analysis was performed to assess factors influencing outcomes in FGF-2.<br>
Results: A total of 180 sites from 141 patients (FGF-2: 150 sites; ABG: 30 sites) were evaluated. Both VBDIR and PPDI significantly improved postoperatively in both groups. There were no significant differences in clinical outcomes between FGF-2 and ABG. In FGF-2, smoking history was positively associated, while the preoperative bone defect angle (BDA) was negatively associated with clinical outcomes.<br>
Conclusions: FGF-2 might exhibit clinical outcomes comparable to those of ABG, suggesting it is a clinically viable alternative for vertical bone defects. When using FGF-2, patient-specific factors such as smoking history and preoperative BDA should be considered carefully.<br>

kn-title=Experimental Analysis of Automatic Discrimination Performance Between Simulated Bruxism and Non‐Bruxism Under Conscious Conditions Using Electromyography and Machine Learning
en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=
kn-abstract=Purpose: This study aimed to evaluate the potential use of machine learning to automatically classify electromyography (EMG) data into bruxism simulated movement with tooth contact (BMwTC), bruxism simulated movement without tooth contact (BMwoTC), and non-bruxism movement (non-BM).<br>
Methods: Twelve eligible healthy participants (female/male: 2/10, mean age: 35.3?±?8.4?years) were asked to perform the simulated movements (all the tasks were performed five times for 5?s each with a 30-s rest interval). The electrodes were placed on the masseter, infrahyoid, inframandibular, and chin muscles. A sound sensor was placed adjacent to the masseter. The EMG and sound data were sampled at 1 and 44.1?kHz, respectively. Single- and multi-stream hidden Markov models (HMMs) were used to automatically discriminate the tested behavior from the others using a hamming window with 100?ms and shift length of 50?ms. The leave-one-out method was used for training and testing the model, with data from 11 participants used for training and one for testing. Each participant was evaluated, and the final performance was measured by averaging the results of 12 classification trials. The validity of the discrimination was assessed by calculating the harmony mean values using six EMG signals and the sound data.<br>
Results: The masseter EMG demonstrated significantly higher discrimination accuracy in the single-stream model (p? < 0.05, One-way ANOVA, Tukey HDS). The multi-stream model also demonstrated higher accuracy; however, no significant difference was observed. Notably, the accuracy of BMwoTC was less than 0.5.<br>
Conclusion: The machine-learning-based discriminative system accurately discriminates BMwTC from non-BM using masseter EMG.

kn-title=Effectiveness of education programme to increase competency of health cadres in Indonesia: a cluster non-randomised controlled trial
en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=
kn-abstract=Objectives Health cadres, who assist midwives in supporting pregnant women in community settings, need to enhance their competencies in identifying risk factors and referring high-risk pregnant women to midwives for further care. Since the capabilities of these health cadres are influenced by maternal complications, an educational programme was implemented to strengthen their skills. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the competency of health cadres by providing a researcher-developed educational programme.<br>
Design An open-label, cluster non-randomised controlled trial.<br>
Setting and participants Health cadres with at least 1 year of work experience were recruited at six public health centres (PHCs) in Banjarnegara Regency, Indonesia.<br>
Interventions Six PHCs were selected and allocated into intervention group (IG=3 PHCs) and control group (CG=3 PHCs) groups. A total of 133 female health cadres were enrolled across the selected PHCs. At each PHC, a systematic random sampling method was used to select the participants. The researchers and health professionals provided a 3-week period of theoretical and scenario-based simulations to the IG, while the CG received no education.<br>
Outcome measures Researcher-developed questionnaires and checklists were used to assess the knowledge, skills (health assessment, communication, attitude) and confidence. The primary endpoint was competency, a total score of knowledge and skills. The outcome domains were compared between the two groups, and a linear mixed-effect model was used to account for cluster-level variation.<br>
Results A total of 130 (97.7%) completed the study (IG:64, CG:66). The competency score showed significant improvement at endline (CG=49.5?and IG=52.5; p=0.002). The median scores for health assessment skills (CG=12?vs IG=14; p<0.001) and communication skills (CG=7?vs IG=8; p<0.001) were increased in the IG compared with the CG. Mixed-effect model indicated that groups (β (95%?CI) 2.49 (0.57 to 4.41), p=0.012), baseline knowledge (β(95%?CI) 0.73 (0.54 to 0.92), p<0.001) and midline health assessment skills (β (95%?CI) 0.54 (0.25 to 0.82), p<0.001) were significant positive predictors, while age was negatively associated with competency (β (95%?CI) ?0.20 (?0.30 to ?0.10), p<0.001)).<br>
Conclusion Education effectively increased the competency of health cadres. A well-structured education programme is necessary for health cadres to improve and maintain their competencies in monitoring high-risk pregnant women.<br>

kn-title=Immunopeptidomics combined with full-length transcriptomics uncovers diverse neoantigens
en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=
kn-abstract=Neoantigens are crucial for antitumor immunity and immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) efficacy by triggering strong immune responses. However, conventional methods for identifying neoantigens, such as whole-exon sequencing and short-read RNA sequencing (RNA-seq), appear to be insufficient, and the tumor mutational burden cannot sufficiently predict ICI efficacy. In this study, we employed a proteogenomic approach using long-read RNA-seq with Pacific Biosciences Single-Molecule Real-Time Sequencing technology to analyze full-length transcripts in combination with the human leukocyte antigen ligandome. As a result, many neoantigen candidates were identified, which were unregistered in a comprehensive database, including those from non-coding regions. Additionally, we validated the responses of specific T cell receptors (TCRs) to these candidates and identified several pairs of TCRs and neoantigens. These findings highlight the presence of more diverse neoantigens than expected that cannot be identified by conventional methods.

kn-title=Impact of Candida Care Bundle Compliance on the Prognosis of Patients With Candidemia: A Multicenter Retrospective Cohort Study With Propensity Score Matching Analysis (2016?2023)
en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=
kn-abstract=Background. Candidemia is a life-threatening infection with high mortality, and appropriate management is essential to improve patient outcomes. The Candida Care Bundle aims to standardize hospital management for patients with candidemia and reduce mortality.<br>
Methods. This retrospective multicenter cohort study included candidemia cases from 9 hospitals in Japan between 2016 and 2023. Compliance to the Candida Care Bundle was evaluated based on 5 elements: central venous catheter removal within 24?hours, appropriate antifungal therapy, ophthalmologic examination, follow-up blood cultures, and antifungal treatment for ?2 weeks after clearance. Patients were categorized into high (4?5 items) and low (0?3 items) compliance groups. The primary and secondary outcomes were defined as 30-day survival and the development of endophthalmitis, with propensity score matching used to adjust for potential confounders.<br>
Results. Among 230 patients, 160 (69.5%) were classified into the high compliance group, which exhibited significantly lower 30-day mortality than the low compliance group (8.8% vs 57.1%, P < .01). Even after matching, the high compliance group remained independently associated with improved survival (hazard ratio [HR]: 0.15; 95% confidence interval [CI]: .08?.30). C. albicans (HR: 1.95; 95% CI: 1.01?3.52) and central line-associated bloodstream infection (HR: 2.63; 95% CI: 1.35?5.12) were associated with the fatal outcome. Endophthalmitis involved 23.6% of the patients, being associated with C. albicans (odds ratio [OR]: 8.18; 4.46?19.30) and central line-associated bloodstream infection (OR: 2.69; 1.08?6.70).<br>
Conclusions. Strict compliance to the Candida Care Bundle significantly improves survival, underscoring its importance in candidemia management.

kn-title=Knowledge and Attitudes Toward Pain Management Among Nurses in University-Affiliated Hospitals in Western Japan: A Cross-Sectional Study
en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=
kn-abstract=Background: Pain is a major global concern. Nurses’ knowledge and attitudes toward pain management are critical determinants of pain care quality and patient outcomes, making them essential for effective clinical practice.<br>
Objective: This study aimed to assess nurses’ pain management knowledge and attitudes using the Japanese version of the Knowledge and Attitudes Survey Regarding Pain (J-KASRP), applied for the first time in Japan, and to examine how background factors affect these aspects.<br>
Methods: A descriptive, cross-sectional survey was conducted with 1589 nurses in three university-affiliated hospitals in Western Japan. Data were collected using a questionnaire capturing sociodemographic information and the J-KASRP. Descriptive statistics, t-tests, one-way ANOVA, and effect size were used to analyze J-KASRP scores and subdomains. Tukey’s honestly significant difference test was applied for post hoc comparisons across clinical experience patterns.<br>
Results: Of 1001 respondents, 856 valid responses (85.5%) were analyzed. The mean age was 30.1?years (SD?=?8.3), and the mean total correct response rate for the J-KASRP was 59.8%; only 1.3% scored ??80%. Cancer-related pain had the lowest J-KASRP subdomain score (42.5%, SD = 20.3%). Higher total J-KASRP scores were found for those with a higher level of education, prior clinical pain education, and recent opioid administration experience (all p < 0.001, effect size > 0.2). In an exploratory pattern analysis, regardless of education level, respondents with both education and opioid administering experience had the highest total and pharmacology subdomains’ scores. No significant differences in cancer-related pain subdomain were observed across patterns of clinical experiences.<br>
Conclusions: This first application of the J-KASRP in Japan revealed that nurses’ pain management knowledge and attitudes need to be strengthened, especially for cancer-related pain and opioid pharmacology. The study findings highlight the importance of pain management strengthening education and training to enhance nurses’ evidence-based knowledge and clinical competence.

kn-title=Electronic Structure of the S1 State Manganese Cluster in Photosystem II Investigated Using Q-Band Selective Hole-Burning
en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=
kn-abstract=The electronic structure of the S1 state of photosystem II (PSII) was investigated using selective hole burning of Q-band pulsed electron paramagnetic resonance. The free induction decay and spin?echo signals of the tyrosine radical YD? in the plant PSII oscillated because of the magnetic dipole?dipole interaction with the S1 state Mn cluster. The initial period was 410 ns (2.44 MHz) and was assigned to the S = 1 spin state. Based on the oscillation analysis, both Mn1 and Mn4 and both Mn2 and Mn3 were assigned as Mn(III) and Mn(IV), respectively, which is consistent with the quantum chemical calculations. The 410 ns period was accounted for in the simplified model using the isotropic spin density distribution ratio [1.6:?1.1:?1.1:1.6] for Mn1?4 ions. This oscillation was identical with that observed in the presence of methanol. The oscillation decreased in PsbP/Q- and PsbO/P/Q-depleted PSII. In Thermosynechococcus vulcanus, two periods, 390 ns (2.56 MHz) and 630 ns (1.59 MHz), were detected, indicating that the cyanobacterial S1 state includes two isomers, S = 1 and S ? 2 spins. The S ? 2 spin was not detected in PsbO/U/V-depleted PSII without polyethylene glycol. The S ? 2 state was consistent with the reported quantum chemical calculation using S = 3. A simplified model accounted for the S = 1 state as the spin density distribution [1.8:?1.3:?1.3:1.8] and for the S ? 2 state as the isotropic spin density distribution [?0.5:0.5:0.5:0.5] for Mn1?4 ions. In combination with quantum chemical calculations, the most probable protonated structure is W1 = H2O, W2 = H2O, O4 = O2?, and O5 = O2? for the S1 state. These results demonstrate that the selective hole burning method is a powerful tool to complement X-ray studies to determine the valence and protonation structure of manganese clusters, not only in the S1 state but also in higher S-states and general metal clusters, which would provide important insights into the water oxidation mechanism.

kn-title=Prognostic Value of Serum (1→3)-β-D-Glucan Levels in Patients with Candidemia Stratified by Compliance with Candida Bundle: A Multicenter Retrospective Cohort Study (2016?2023)
en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=
kn-abstract=Background Candidemia is a severe systemic infection with a high mortality risk. While β-D-glucan (BDG) serves as a diagnostic biomarker, its prognostic value in candidemia, particularly in association with Candida bundle compliance, remains unclear.<br>
Methods In this retrospective multicenter cohort study, we evaluated 96 patients with candidemia across nine Japanese hospitals between 2016 and 2023. Candida bundle compliance was assessed using five key components: central venous catheter removal within 24 h of diagnosis, appropriate initial antifungal therapy, ophthalmologic examination, follow-up blood cultures until clearance, and antifungal therapy for at least two weeks post-clearance. Analyses stratified patients by serum BDG status (positive/negative) and compliance with the Candida bundle (high: 4?5 points; low: 0?3 points). The primary outcome was 30-day mortality, and the secondary outcome was defined as endophthalmitis incidence.<br>
Results Of 96 eligible patients with candidemia, 70 (72.9%) were BDG-positive and 26 (27.1%) were BDG-negative. The overall 30-day mortality was 17.7%. Among BDG-positive patients, 15 (21.4%) died, while 2 (7.7%) died in BDG-negative cohorts (p?=?0.09). Serum BDG positivity demonstrated a statistically significant association with decreased survival rates in the low bundle adherence group (p?=?0.02), whereas this correlation was not observed among patients in the high-compliance cohort (p?=?0.66). Endophthalmitis occurred in 25.0% of patients, without significant correlation to serum BDG status. C. albicans was associated with a significantly higher incidence of endophthalmitis compared with non-albicans species (45.7% vs. 8.9%).<br>
Conclusions Serum BDG positivity potentially correlates with worse survival in candidemia, particularly in patients with low bundle compliance. This emphasizes the importance of adherence to standardized Candida management protocols for optimizing patient outcomes.

kn-title=Impact of COVID-19 on the awareness and interest in infectious disease specialization among Japanese medical students
en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=
kn-abstract=Background<br>
The SARS-CoV-2 pandemic has highlighted the critical deficiency of infectious disease (ID) specialists, a subspecialty that remains underrepresented among Japanese medical students.<br>
Methods<br>
This nationwide cross-sectional survey was administered between April and August 2024 via an online questionnaire distributed to medical students throughout Japan. The survey assessed awareness of and interest in ID specialization, categorizing students by academic year: lower (first- and second-year students), middle (third- and fourth-year students), and upper grades (fifth- and sixth-year students).<br>
Results<br>
Of 502 respondents, data for 492 medical students were eligible, of whom 69.7% demonstrated awareness of ID specialists, with recognition rates increasing proportionally with academic progression. Regarding career aspirations, 9.8% of respondents expressed interest in pursuing ID specialization, with the highest proportion observed among upper-grade students (19.4%). Male students (14.8%) expressed greater interest in ID specialization than female students (5.2%). The pandemic positively influenced 5.5% of students to consider ID specialization as a future career, whereas only 0.6% reported a negative impact.<br>
Conclusions<br>

kn-abstract=The escalating prevalence of carbapenem-resistant (CR) enteric pathogens elicits significant challenges to public health management and effective antimicrobial therapy. While carbapenem resistance is rare in Vibrio cholerae O1 (VC), the recent emergence of CR strains reveals a concerning shift in their antimicrobial resistance (AMR) landscape. This study aims to characterize the resistance mechanisms in newly identified El Tor CRVC isolated from cholera patients in Gujarat, India during 2019. Fifty VC isolates were screened for major virulence-associated genes along with the determination of their antibiotic resistance profiles using Kirby-Bauer disk diffusion and MIC assays. Whole-genome sequencing (WGS) was employed to investigate the underlying mechanisms of CR. All the isolates exhibited hypervirulent Haitian alleles of major virulence genes and AMR profiles of typical multidrug resistance (MDR). Strikingly, 12% (6/50) of them were resistant to carbapenems and other antibiotics. Molecular analysis revealed that these CR isolates were clonally related and harbored a 142 kbp IncA/C type conjugative mega-plasmid with several AMR encoding genes, including blaNDM-1, that can be easily transferred to other bacterial species and confer donor AMR patterns. The plasmid’s competence for horizontal gene transfer presents a significant risk of dissemination to other enteric pathogens and thereby may complicate the treatment. This finding emphasizes the urgent need for enhanced genomic surveillance and robust antimicrobial stewardship programs aimed at curbing the spread of CRVC strains and mitigating their impact on cholera treatment and containment strategies.

kn-abstract=　Genomic information plays a critical role in the diagnosis and treatment of various diseases, as well as in the management of asymptomatic individuals. This study assessed the knowledge and understanding of genetics and hereditary cancer among college students who received cancer education in Japan. The study subjects were students from fields such as education, medicine, law, and economics who participated during the period from February to December 2023. The students attended in-person lectures on genomic medicine, and they were then asked to complete an anonymous survey via Google Forms. Over 90％ of the participants reported understanding the content of the lectures, and >80％ indicated that they found the lecture's content understandable at a junior high school level. Over 60％ felt that the appropriate time to begin such education would be in late elementary or junior high school. These results indicate a high level of acceptance of hereditary cancer education among young people. However, challenges remain in their understanding of the roles of genetic factors in cancer development and the mechanisms by which inheritance and phenotype are manifested. The relevant educational programs need to be further refined and strengthened.

kn-title=Characterization of Autonomous and Ca2+/Calmodulin-Dependent Activities of CaMKK Isoforms In Vitro and in Mouse Tissues
en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=
kn-abstract=Ca2+/CaM-dependent protein kinase kinase (CaMKK) phosphorylates and activates downstream kinases, including CaMKI, CaMKIV, PKB, and AMPK, regulating various cellular functions such as neuronal morphogenesis, metabolic control, and pathophysiological pathways, such as cancer progression. CaMKKα/1 is tightly regulated by an autoinhibitory mechanism. CaMKKβ/2 activity is highly Ca2+/CaM-independent (autonomous activity) in vitro and Ca2+/CaM-dependent in cultured cells. Whether these two activity states of CaMKKβ/2 exist in vivo and the detailed regulatory mechanisms for the transition of both activity states remain unclear due to the difficulty in distinguishing the two activity states. In this study, we detected Ca2+-dependent and autonomous CaMKK activity in HeLa cells and successfully separated both activity states of CaMKKβ/2 in mouse brain and testis extracts using a recently developed CaMKK inhibitor (TIM-063)-coupled sepharose, which binds to the catalytic domain in the active state but not in the autoinhibited state. Furthermore, lambda protein phosphatase treatment converted the Ca2+/CaM-dependent form to the autonomous form of CaMKKβ/2, which was not affected by Ala mutation of Ser128, Ser132, and Ser136. The two activity forms of CaMKKβ/2 had equivalent Ca2+/CaM-binding ability. The findings demonstrate the presence of autonomous and Ca2+/CaM-dependent forms of CaMKKβ/2 independently in mouse tissues and cultured cells. The transition of these states of CaMKKβ/2 may be dynamically regulated by the phosphorylation/dephosphorylation of serine residues in the N-terminal regulatory domain.

kn-title=Ethical Use of Cadaveric Images in Anatomical Textbooks, Atlases, and Journals: A Consensus Response From Authors and Editors
en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=
kn-abstract=Nowadays, consent to use donor bodies for medical education and research is obtained from the body donors and their families before the donation. Recently, the International Federation of Associations of Anatomists (IFAA) published guidelines that could restrict the appearance of cadaveric images in commercial anatomical resources such as textbooks and other educational products. These guidelines state that the donor must expressly consent to using such images for this purpose. Cadaveric photos and drawings made from dissections of cadavers have been used in anatomy textbooks and atlases for hundreds of years. They are invaluable for anatomy students and clinical/surgical practitioners. The IFAA guidelines should not restrict the use of those older books; to do so would infringe the rights of those seeking knowledge from these resources. As the images in such textbooks and atlases are anonymized and are used for teaching and research, and the donors and their families are informed about this before the donation, we believe no additional consent is needed. It is impossible to separate educational from “commercial” usage entirely in any situation, e.g., publications from publishers and the use of cadavers in medical schools. Therefore, our best efforts to avoid unethical use of cadaveric images by following traditional consent processes are still needed so that more people will reap the benefits from them. As senior textbook/atlas authors/editors from over 10 countries, we believe that using cadaveric images in anatomy textbooks is appropriate, and no additional consent should be necessary. Such usage falls within the good faith of professionals using these invaluable gifts.

kn-abstract=Free N-glycans (FNGs) occur ubiquitously in growing plants. Recently, it was reported that these FNGs interact with auxin. In this study, we investigated whether PNGase activity responsible for producing the FNGs occurs in the extracellular fluid, where auxin is present during its polar transfer. Here, we report the occurrences of PNGase activity and FNGs in the phloem fluid.

kn-title=Coast uplifted by nearby shore-parallel active submarine faults during the 2024 Mw 7.5 Noto Peninsula earthquake
en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=
kn-abstract=An Mw 7.5 earthquake occurred at 16:10 JST on January 1, 2024 at a depth of 16 km on the Noto Peninsula, central Japan. This earthquake was the second-largest intraplate earthquake recorded in Japan during 120 years of seismic observation, and it caused approximately 100 km of coastal seafloor emergence along the peninsula's northern coast. Herein, we mapped the emergence of this coastal seafloor and measured the uplift along the coast. The movement of the coastline led to the emergence of approximately 4.4 km2 of seafloor, which is continuous and probably the longest in the world. We determined the uplift distribution along the coast using the white remains of a reddish seaweed called Corallina pilulifera. Its upper limit exhibited a distinct horizontal line, effectively representing the uplift amount throughout the peninsula. Two large, uplifted regions were identified, around Cape Saruyama (5.21 m) in the west and Cape Kurasaki (2.70 m) in the north. Although active offshore submarine faults have been extensively researched, the fault traces remain poorly defined because they are primarily interpreted from seismic reflection profiles. We identified the distribution of active submarine faults using anaglyph-type stereoscopic images, confirming the subsurface deformation structure seen through the seismic reflection profiles. The main fault trace is primarily straight and contiguous with the nearby north coast. The uplift amount is greater near the active fault traces on the north side and diminishes sharply with increasing distance from these faults, indicating a southward tilt of surface uplift related to the active submarine faults.

kn-title=Surface exposure ages of middle?late Pleistocene marine and fluvial terraces along the northern and southern Sanriku coasts, Northeast Japan
en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=
kn-abstract=To estimate long-term rates of coastal uplift along the northern Pacific coast of Northeast Japan, we determined the surface exposure ages of marine and fluvial terraces based on terrestrial in situ cosmogenic radionuclide dating of exposed bedrock surfaces. Based on reinterpretation of marine and fluvial terraces, we collected samples from the northern and southern Sanriku coast. The surface exposure ages from 10Be concentrations in quartz calculated from the measured 10Be/9Be ratios commonly suggest MIS 5 and MIS 7 for the marine and fluvial terraces and averaged coastal uplift rates of ca. 0.25?±?0.15 and 0.4?mm/yr along the northern and southern Sanriku coast at intermediate timescales. The results may demonstrate different styles of crustal strain accommodation in the northern Northeast Japan arc above the subducting Pacific plate.

kn-title=Increasing visual uncertainty modulates multisensory decision-making
en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=
kn-abstract=The brain integrates and transforms information from multiple senses to make optimal decisions, a process that is critical for navigating complex environments with perceptual uncertainty. Despite a growing consensus that individuals adapt flexibly to uncertain sensory input, whether increasing visual uncertainty influences the decision process itself or other, non-decision sensory processes during multisensory decision-making are unclear. Here, an audiovisual categorization task was used to examine the responses of human participants (N = 30) to visual and audiovisual stimuli under low-, medium-, and high-uncertainty conditions. Modeling the behavioral data using a drift?diffusion model indicated that increased visual uncertainty in the audiovisual context decreased the evidence accumulation rate but had no effect on non-decision processes. Electrophysiological recordings confirmed and expanded upon these results: increased visual uncertainty in the audiovisual context reduced the amplitude during the late decision-making stage (300?380 msec) but had no effect on the amplitude during the early sensory encoding stage (140?220 msec). More importantly, electroencephalography analyses revealed that audiovisual integration in the early sensory encoding stage occurred robustly across all visual uncertainty conditions, whereas audiovisual integration in the late stage occurred only under medium and high visual uncertainty conditions. This study demonstrated that increased visual uncertainty modulates the decision process itself rather than early sensory encoding during multisensory decision-making. Moreover, multisensory integration strategies dynamically adapt to increasing visual uncertainty by engaging different mechanisms to maintain effective decision-making.

kn-title=Perioperative Team Management Was Beneficially Associated with Prolonged Postoperative Hospital Stays after Long Lower-Abdominal Surgeries
en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=
kn-abstract=Our hospital began a PERIO program (perioperative patient management by a multi-disciplinary team from multiple departments) in 2016 to improve patient outcomes. We retrospectively analyzed the clinical effects of the PERIO program regarding the postoperative hospital stay (PHS) in the patients aged ? 18 years who underwent long lower-abdominal surgery at our hospital during the period April 2019 to March 2023. We excluded the cases of patients whose general anesthesia use was < 8 h, those for whom another surgery was performed simultaneously at another site, and emergency surgeries. The outcome was prolonged PHS, defined as exceeding the scheduled number of days specified in the patient’s clinical pathway. Among the 480 patients, prolonged PHS was observed for 270 patients (56.3%). In a multivariate logistic regression using advanced age, sex, high-risk general state, surgery requiring colon resection, serious adverse events (SAEs), and PERIO use, the following were associated with prolonged PHS: advance age (odds ratio [OR] 4.91, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 2.68-8.99, p=0.01), surgery requiring colon resection (OR 4.91, 95%CI: 2.68-8.99, p<0.001), SAE (OR 18.7, 95%CI: 7.22-48.2, p<0.001), and PERIO (OR 0.25, 95%CI: 0.13-0.47, p<0.001). The use of the PERIO program was thus beneficially associated with PHS after long lower-abdominal surgery.

kn-title=Sensory Modality-Dependent Interplay Between Updating and Inhibition Under Increased Working Memory Load: An ERP Study
en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=
kn-abstract=Background/Objectives: Working memory (WM) performance relies on the coordination of updating and inhibition functions within the central executive system. However, their interaction under varying cognitive loads, particularly across sensory modalities, remains unclear. Methods: This study examined how sensory modality modulates flanker interference under increasing WM loads. Twenty-two participants performed a visual n-back task at three load levels (1-, 2-, and 3-back) while ignoring visual (within-modality) or auditory (cross-modality) flankers. Results: Behaviorally, increased WM load (2- and 3-back) led to reduced accuracy (AC) and prolonged reaction times (RTs) in both conditions. In addition, flanker interference was observed under the 2-back condition in both the visual within-modality (VM) and audiovisual cross-modality (AVM) tasks. However, performance impairment emerged at a lower load (2-back) in the VM condition, whereas in the AVM condition, it only emerged at the highest load (3-back). Significant performance impairment in the AVM condition occurred at higher WM loads, suggesting that greater WM load is required to trigger interference. Event-related potential (ERP) results showed that N200 amplitudes increased significantly for incongruent flankers under the highest WM load (3-back) in the visual within-modality condition, reflecting greater inhibitory demands. In the cross-modality condition, enhanced N200 was not observed across all loads and even reversed at low load (1-back). Moreover, the results also showed that P300 amplitude increased with load in the within-modality condition but decreased in the cross-modality condition. Conclusions: These results demonstrated that the interaction between updating and inhibition is shaped by both WM load and sensory modality, further supporting a sensory modality-specific resource allocation mechanism. The cross-modality configurations may enable more efficient distribution of cognitive resources under high load, reducing interference between concurrent executive demands.

kn-title=Video review by utilizing asynchronous video communication platform
en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=
kn-abstract=Background: Video review is widely recognized as an effective method for teaching communication; however, it can increase educators' workload and learners' stress.<br>
Methods: We utilized Tsucom, an online platform developed by BonBon, Inc., which enables asynchronous video communication instead of traditional styles. An 11-min and 42-s consultation video from a fifth-year resident was uploaded, and 10 physicians provided 30 text-based feedback.<br>
Results: In this pilot survey, the utility and ease of use were rated 4.4 and 4.1 out of 5, respectively.<br>
Conclusions: While asynchronous online video reviews provided flexibility and greater participation, challenges remain, and further trials and evaluations were deemed necessary.

kn-title=Endoscopic surgery for distal femoral physeal bar resection with computed tomography-assisted navigation: a case report
en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=
kn-abstract=The formation of physeal bars, or bony bridges, following growth plate injuries can cause complications such as angular deformities or discrepancies in leg length. The management strategies for these depend on factors such as the bar’s location, extent, and residual growth potential. Herein, we describe the case of a 14-year-old male with a valgus knee deformity caused by a distal femoral physeal bar. The patient underwent endoscopic resection of the bar, assisted by computed tomography-based navigation and intraoperative O-arm imaging. This minimally invasive technique facilitated safe and accurate removal of the lesion with less risk of complications such as cortical perforation or injury to adjacent neurovascular structures compared to traditional approaches. The patient experienced favorable postoperative outcomes, including restored knee range of motion and full symptom resolution. This approach demonstrates the clinical value of integrating endoscopy with advanced navigation systems during the surgical treatment of physeal bars.

en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=
kn-abstract=This study investigates nitrogen distribution and isotope fractionation within synthetic 2:1 phyllosilicates, simulating submarine hydrothermal environments at 200 °C and saturated vapor pressure. XRD and EDS results revealed the potential coexistence of multiple cations in the interlayer of synthetic 2:1 phyllosilicate, concurrently suggesting cation substitution in the tetrahedral and/or octahedral sheets. Meanwhile, the iron-enriched 25-5 sample exhibited restricted interlayer expansibility. NH4+ absorptions were identified in the NH4-stretching (3200?2800 cm?1) and NH4-bending (1450?1400 cm?1) regions, with wavenumber shifts indicating the influence of interlayer water removal. At pH 10.56, over 95% of nitrogen was released into the gas phase, while at pH 8.88, nitrogen proportions in the liquid and gas phases were comparable (average 48?49%). Experiments with iron at pH ?8.80 showed that the nitrogen proportion in the gas phase (average 28%) was more than twofold lower than that in the liquid phase (average 68%). Equilibrium isotope fractionation factors indicated discernible preference for heavier nitrogen isotopes in the solid phase (αsolid-liquid = 1.009?1.021 and αsolid-gas = 1.011?1.027). The αliquid-gas range for sample 25?2 was 1.001?1.008, while that for the iron-enriched composite 25?5 was 0.997?1.010. Our experimental studies have confirmed that, in the absence of exchange interactions with external substances possessing different nitrogen isotope ratios, nitrogen isotope fractionation between ammonium and ammonia, controlled by variations in temperature and pH during mineralization, plays a crucial role in the variation of nitrogen isotope ratios. Additionally, we confirmed that metal-amines influence nitrogen isotope fractionation by modulating ammonia gas emission. These findings enhance our understanding of nitrogen cycling across the gas, liquid, and solid phases in submarine hydrothermal systems.

en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=
kn-abstract=The unprecedented one-pot synthesis of N-formyl/N-methyltryptolines from tryptamines was achieved via phenylsilane-assisted deoxygenative dual CO2 conversions. Two CO2 molecules acted as different synthons and were converted into methylene and N-formyl/N-methyl groups. The CO2 reduction step was catalyzed by a pentanuclear zinc complex at atmospheric pressure under solvent-free conditions. The N-formyl/N-methyl products could be switched by changing the amount of phenylsilane, and the amounts of in situ generated bis(silyl)acetals and silyl formates were key to the chemoselectivity. Methylenation, N-formylation, and N-methylation proceeded via the Pictet?Spengler reaction, amine?acid condensation, and the Eschweiler?Clarke reaction, respectively. The CO2 reduction with phenylsilane could also be applied to the one-pot three-step synthesis of spiro[oxindole-pyrrolidine]s.

kn-title=Enhanced Charge-Transfer Kinetics Enabled by ZrO2?Based Dielectric Layers in Lithium-Ion Batteries
en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=
kn-abstract=The development of high-rate capability lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) requires suppression of charge-transfer resistance (RCT) at electrode?electrolyte interfaces. Here, zirconia-based dielectric oxides (MZ; M = Y, Gd, Sm, Er, etc.) were introduced onto LiCoO2 (LCO) surfaces as electronically and ionically insulating modifiers to accelerate interfacial ion transport. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy showed that Y2O3 modified ZrO2 (YZ) decoration reduced RCT from 75.8 Ω in reference LCO to 38.3 Ω, accompanied by a 2.3-fold improvement in capacity retention at 20C. Density functional theory molecular dynamics (DFT?MD) simulations showed that solvated Li ions coordinate with surface oxygen atoms in discharging, and that adsorption energies are governed by local charge distributions determined by stabilizing cations. Optimal adsorption activity, and thus the lowest RCT, occurred when the surface charge corrugation was balanced. These findings provide design principles for dielectric interface engineering to enhance rate capability of LIBs.

kn-title=MedakaBase as a unified genomic resource platform for medaka fish biology
en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=
kn-abstract=Medaka, a group of small, mostly freshwater fishes in the teleost order Beloniformes, includes the rice fish Oryzias latipes, a useful model organism studied in diverse biological fields. Chromosome-scale genome sequences of the Hd-rR strain of this species were obtained in 2007, and its improved version has facilitated various genome-wide studies. However, despite its widespread utility, omics data for O. latipes are dispersed across various public databases and lack a unified platform. To address this, the medaka section of the National Bioresource Project (NBRP) of Japan established a genome informatics team in 2022 tasked with providing various in silico solutions for bench biologists. This initiative led to the launch of MedakaBase (https://medakabase.nbrp.jp), a web server that enables gene-oriented analysis including exhaustive sequence similarity searches. MedakaBase also provides on-demand browsing of diverse genome-wide datasets, including tissue-specific transcriptomes and intraspecific genomic variations, integrated with gene models from different sources. Additionally, the platform offers gene models optimized for single-cell transcriptome analysis, which often requires coverage of the 3′ untranslated region (UTR) of transcripts. Currently, MedakaBase provides genome-wide data for seven Oryzias species, including original data for O. mekongensis and O. luzonensis produced by the NBRP team. This article outlines technical details behind the data provided by MedakaBase.

kn-abstract=The toxicity of two herbicides (diuron and bromacil) and three antibiotics (clarithromycin, azithromycin, and clindamycin) was evaluated for on four marine phytoplankton species: two diatoms, Skeletonema costatum and Chaetoceros lorenzianus, a dinoflagellate, Prorocentrum shikokuense, and a raphidophyte, Heterosigma akashiwo. The 50?% effective concentrations (EC50-μ) for growth of the herbicides (approximately 2.3?24.3?μg?L?1) were lower than those of the antibiotics, indicating their higher toxicity. The EC50-μ of diuron was close to its reported environmental concentrations. The EC50-μ values for the antibiotics substantially differed by species, ranging from 19.5 to >?1000?μg?L?1, with diatoms showing higher sensitivity than flagellates. Herbicides inhibited the photosynthetic yield (φII) of all tested species at concentrations similar to or lower than those affecting growth, while antibiotics affected φII at higher concentrations. Under high-light conditions, photosynthesis in S. costatum was substantially inhibited by all chemicals except clindamycin, suggesting enhanced chemical toxicity under intense light. Overall, these findings indicate that these herbicides and antibiotics can alter phytoplankton abundance and composition in coastal areas and that environmental factors, such as increased solar radiation, can potentially enhance their toxicity.

kn-title=A Comparative Study of Authoring Performances Between In-Situ Mobile and Desktop Tools for Outdoor Location-Based Augmented Reality
en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=
kn-abstract=In recent years, Location-Based Augmented Reality (LAR) systems have been increasingly implemented in various applications for tourism, navigation, education, and entertainment. Unfortunately, the LAR content creation using conventional desktop-based authoring tools has become a bottleneck, as it requires time-consuming and skilled work. Previously, we proposed an in-situ mobile authoring tool as an efficient solution to this problem by offering direct authoring interactions in real-world environments using a smartphone. Currently, the evaluation through the comparison between the proposal and conventional ones is not sufficient to show superiority, particularly in terms of interaction, authoring performance, and cognitive workload, where our tool uses 6DoF device movement for spatial input, while desktop ones rely on mouse-pointing. In this paper, we present a comparative study of authoring performances between the tools across three authoring phases: (1) Point of Interest (POI) location acquisition, (2) AR object creation, and (3) AR object registration. For the conventional tool, we adopt Unity and ARCore SDK. As a real-world application, we target the LAR content creation for pedestrian landmark annotation across campus environments at Okayama University, Japan, and Brawijaya University, Indonesia, and identify task-level bottlenecks in both tools. In our experiments, we asked 20 participants aged 22 to 35 with different LAR development experiences to complete equivalent authoring tasks in an outdoor campus environment, creating various LAR contents. We measured task completion time, phase-wise contribution, and cognitive workload using NASA-TLX. The results show that our tool made faster creations with 60% lower cognitive loads, where the desktop tool required higher mental efforts with manual data input and object verifications.

kn-title=Proliferation of a bloom-forming phytoplankton via uptake of polyphosphate-accumulating bacteria under phosphate-limiting conditions
en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=
kn-abstract=Harmful algal blooms negatively impact the ecosystem and fisheries in affected areas. Eutrophication is a major factor contributing to bloom occurrence, and phosphorus is particularly important in limiting the growth of bloom-forming algae. Although algae efficiently utilize orthophosphate (Pi) as a phosphorous source over other molecular forms, Pi is often limited in the marine environment. While uptake and utilization of soluble inorganic and organic phosphorous by bloom-forming algae has been extensively studied, the details of geochemical and biological phosphorous cycling remain to be elucidated. Here, we report for the first time that the bloom-forming alga Heterosigma akashiwo can phagocytose bacteria and grow under phosphate-depleted conditions. The addition of Vibrio comitans to Pi-depleted H. akashiwo enabled the alga propagate to high cell densities, whereas other bacterial strains had only a minor effect. Importantly, V. comitans accumulates polyphosphate?a linear polymer of Pi?at high levels. The extent of algal proliferation induced by the addition of Vibrio species and polyphosphate-accumulating Escherichia coli correlated strongly with their polyphosphate content, indicating that bacterial polyphosphate served as an alternative PO43? source for H. akashiwo. The direct uptake of polyphosphate-accumulating bacteria through algal phagocytosis may represent a novel biological phosphorous-cycling pathway in marine ecosystems. The role of polyphosphate-accumulating marine bacteria as a hidden phosphorous source required for bloom formation warrants further investigation.

kn-title=Dynamin 2 is involved in osteoblast migration by regulating the organization of F-actin
en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=
kn-abstract=Objectives: Dynamin, a GTPase that regulates membrane dynamics, has recently been implicated in actin cytoskeletal remodeling. This study aimed to elucidate the role of dynamin in osteoblast migration by examining the effects of dynamin inhibition on the localization and organization of F-actin and dynamin 2 in MC3T3-E1 cells.<br>
Methods: MC3T3-E1 cells were treated with dynamin inhibitors (Dyngo 4a and Dynole 34-2), and cell migration was assessed using a wound-healing assay. Fluorescent staining was performed to analyze the intracellular localization of F-actin and dynamin 2.<br>
Results: Dynamin inhibition significantly reduced the migration of MC3T3-E1 cells. Fluorescence analysis revealed a marked decrease in the accumulation and colocalization of F-actin and dynamin 2 at the protrusion edge. Additionally, dynamin inhibition suppressed the formation of lamellipodia and stress fibers while promoting the appearance of abnormal F-actin clusters in the cytoplasm.<br>
Conclusions: These findings suggest that dynamin plays an essential role in osteoblast migration by regulating actin cytoskeletal remodeling, particularly through the formation of lamellipodia and stress fibers.

kn-title=A rare case of supratentorial ependymosarcoma harboring ZFTA::RELA fusion
en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=
kn-abstract=Ependymosarcoma is an exceedingly rare variant of ependymoma characterized by a mixture of ependymomatous and sarcomatous components. We report a case of supratentorial ependymosarcoma harboring a ZFTA::RELA fusion in a 10-year-old girl. Histologically, the tumor comprised an ependymomatous component resembling clear cell ependymoma and a sarcomatous component. ZFTA::RELA fusion was confirmed in both components. Genome-wide methylation profiling classified both components as supratentorial ependymoma, ZFTA fusion?positive by the German Cancer Research Center (DKFZ) CNS tumor classifier v12b8. However, their copy number alteration profiles were distinct. The ependymomatous component exhibited a gain of chromosome 1q and a loss of chromosomes 1p, 9, and 19q, while the sarcomatous component showed a loss of chromosome 14. These findings suggest that both components may have differentiated from a common precursor despite their distinct morphologies. The patient underwent gross total resection followed by adjuvant chemoradiotherapy and remains recurrence-free eight years post-treatment. Further investigation of additional cases is warranted to better understand the pathogenesis of this rare tumor.

en-abstract=
kn-abstract=　In this study, data from a survey completed before the spread of COVID-19 were used to measure the amount of physical activity in school among eighth graders attending special-needs schools and compared with the WHO Guidelines for Physical Activity and Sedentary Behavior. The subjects were 16 eighth graders in public special-needs schools. In addition to height and weight, the physical activity survey during school life was measured using a uniaxial accelerometer (Kenz Lifecorder GS 4-second version: LC). 7534 ± 2275 steps/day for boys, 6411 ± 1614 steps/day for girls, and middle and high intensity activity time (MVPA) was 19.3 ± 10.3 minutes/day for boys and 16.7 ± 8.3 minutes/day for girls. These results suggest that eighth graders attending special needs schools are well below the WHO Guidelines for Physical Activity and Sedentary Behavior standard of 60 minutes/day for children and adolescents with disabilities (5-17 years old ) for both boys and girls.

en-abstract=
kn-abstract=　本稿では，歌唱における発声について，共鳴の視点から，発声を習得する上での問題点や共鳴に対する課題について検討した。合唱指揮者や指導者等の発声における共鳴の捉え方では，共鳴は，頭蓋骨のすべての共鳴腔，音高と声区，声量，顎の開き，蝶形骨等の骨との密接な関係があり，音色形成との複雑な関連性があることを確認した。次に小中学校の学習指導要領や音楽教科書の発声記述について概観した結果，小中学校を通して，段階的に共鳴について，イメージと生理学的面から児童生徒に学習させていることが示された。教員養成学部に在籍する学生に対する発声の質問紙による実態調査では，共鳴は難しい領域という共通認識があり，特に，発声の自己評価が低めのグループにその傾向が強くみられた。生理学的な理解，イメージ的な表現，実際に生成される声，これら相互の関係を解明する必要がある。

kn-title=中山間地域における人口移動の動向 ― 岡山県苫田郡鏡野町の事例 ―
en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=
kn-abstract=　本稿の目的は，2006 年以降の岡山県鏡野町の人口動態を明らかにすることである。分析によって，次の4 点を明らかにした。(1) 鏡野町の人口は2006 年以降一貫して減少しているが，近年はその減少幅が拡大している。2006 年以降は自然減が続き，2010 年代後半からは社会減も拡大した。両効果が働いたために，2010 年代後半から人口減少が加速した。(2) 2006 年以降，鏡野町の人口移動はおおむね安定した傾向が見られた。そして，その人口移動は，津山圏との間における集中的かつ均衡した人口移動，近畿地方・岡山圏・関東地方への転出超過，真庭圏・阿新圏からの小規模な転入超過と特徴づけることができる。(3) 2010 年代後半から，鏡野町は岡山圏への転出超過が顕著となり，近畿地方および関東地方への転出もそれに続いた。その結果，鏡野町は社会減が大きくなった。農林業・製造業・商業の停滞や都市部との賃金格差が若年層の流出を促進し，社会減の拡大に繋がった。(4) 人口移動の中心は一貫して20 歳代と30 歳代であった。

en-abstract=
kn-abstract=　本稿は、小学校の政治学習における主権者教育の一例として、「政策カード」を活用した立候補型の模擬市長選挙プログラムを開発し、その実践を通した教育的意義や課題について明らかにするものである。はじめに、小学校政治学習における模擬選挙の実践例を概観し、立候補型の模擬選挙である長瀬（2021）の実践に注目した。その上で、児童の政策立案の質を高めるための工夫として「政策カード」を用いたエリシテーションを取り入れるプログラムを開発し、小学校6 年生の政治単元で実践した。実践結果から、本プログラムは、児童が政策を立案する側に立って自治体の将来を考えることができるという点や、多様な声を反映させるという政治の難しさを体験的に理解できるという点で意義があったが、政策立案活動の真正性や投票規準の明確化に関して、教師の指導やプログラム自体の改善を進める必要があることが明らかになった。

kn-abstract=　聴覚障害児を取り巻く状況は大きく変化してきているが，依然として諸課題の克服がなされているとは言い難い。その一つが「社会性と情緒の発達」である。「きこえない」がために，言語発達が遅れ，コミュニケーション障害をもたらし，さらに心理的問題等を生じるという深刻な二次的，三次的障害を引き起こす恐れがある。教師や保護者は，聴児が苦も無く行う「偶発学習」を意図的，計画的に促す必要がある。また，保護者は，早期からコミュニケーションの困難さを克服する努力を開始し，子どもの心に寄り添いながら，「言語的過保護」の状態を避けつつ様々な情報を丁寧に伝えていく必要がある。教師は，これらを常に意識しながら聴覚障害児と保護者双方の支援にあたり，多様な方法から実態に合うコミュニケーション方法を選択して指導に取り組み，社会性や情緒，さらに生きる力を育む必要がある。

kn-abstract=　本研究は，産業現場の安全を脅かす潜在的なリスクとしてチームワークの崩壊兆候に着目し，その特徴と高信頼性チーム（HRT）の機能，および組織環境要因との関連を実証的に検討した。安全活動への参加経験を持つ就業者357 名から得られたWeb 調査の回答を分析した。チームワークの崩壊兆候は「協調の失敗」と「修正の失敗」の2 因子に整理され，いずれもHRT 機能の発揮と負の関連を示した。また組織環境要因の安全風土やSafety Organizing は崩壊兆候の抑制に，学習のボトルネック認知はその増加に寄与していた。さらに，HRT 機能は個別よりも複合的に発揮されることで，チームの協働作業の円滑化・安定化に資する可能性が示唆された。

kn-abstract=　グローバル化，多様性が拡大する社会では，適切に自己を表現する方法の獲得が重要になるのではなかろうか。本研究では，このアサーティブな自己表現の獲得を促す教育的介入を目指して，3 つのタイプの自己表現（攻撃的な自己表現，非主張的な自己表現，アサーティブな自己表現）を比較して，アサーティブな自己表現の特徴を明らかにすることを目指す。先行研究を参考に，これらの自己表現を区別する指標として，評価への敏感さ，被受容感，視点取得，自尊感情を取り上げた。180 人の大学生を対象に調査を行い，分析を行った結果，アサーティブな自己表現には視点取得と自尊感情が関係していることが示された。他方で被主張的な自己表現は，評価への敏感さと被受容感との関係が見られた。攻撃的な自己表現は，視点取得との負の関係が見られた。これらの結果から，教育現場で児童生徒が適切に自己表現できるように促すためには，子供の存在を認め，自尊感情を高めること，他者の視点を配慮する意識を育てること，そして，周囲の評価を気にし過ぎないように促すことが重要である可能性が示唆された。

kn-title=Hypoglycemia and hyperinsulinemia induced by phenolic uremic toxins in CKD and DKD patients
en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=
kn-abstract=Patients with end-stage renal disease have lower fasting plasma glucose and HbA1c levels, with significantly higher insulin levels. For a long time, it has been believed that this higher insulin level in renal failure is due to decreased insulin clearance caused by reduced renal function. However, here we reported that accumulation of the gut microbiota-derived uremic toxin, phenyl sulfate (PS) in the renal failure, increased insulin secretion from the pancreas by enhanced glucose-stimulated insulin secretion. Other endogenous sulfides compounds which accumulated as in the renal failure also increased glucose-stimulated insulin secretion from β?-cell. With RNA-seq analyses and gene knock down, we demonstrated that insulin secretion evoked by PS was mediated by Ddah2. In addition, we also found that PS increased insulin resistance through lncRNA expression and Erk phosphorylation in the adipocytes. To confirm the relationship between PS and glucose metabolism in human, we recruited 2 clinical cohort studies (DKD and CKD) including 462 patients, and found that there was a weak negative correlation between PS and HbA1c. Because these trials did not measure fasting insulin level, we alternatively used the urinary C-peptide/creatinine ratio (UCPCR) as an indicator of insulin resistance. We found that PS may induce insulin resistance in patients with eGFR?<?60 mL/min/1.73 m2. These data suggest that the accumulation of uremic toxins modulates glucose metabolism and induced insulin resistance in CKD and DKD patients. Considering HbA1c as a reflection of chronic hyperglycemia and UCPCR as a reflection of chronic hyperinsulinemia, our findings indicate that PS is negatively associated with hyperglycemia independent of CKD, and positively associated with hyperinsulinemia in DKD patients.

kn-title=Pediatric stroke risk and neurotrauma from roller coasters in amusement parks
en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=
kn-abstract=Although rare, neurotrauma has been documented as a potential risk of high-speed, high-acceleration amusement park rides such as roller coasters. These attractions generate rapid acceleration, deceleration, sharp turns, and significant gravitational forces, which may stress the central nervous system and cerebrovascular structures. This review analyzed pediatric stroke cases (children 15?years old or younger) linked to roller-coaster rides reported in PubMed and summarized the key mechanisms and clinical features associated with such neurotrauma. Documented complications include internal and vertebral carotid artery dissections, with or without stroke, subdural hemorrhage, intraparenchymal hemorrhage, and post-traumatic migraines. The aim of this review is to alert healthcare providers to the possibility of stroke induced by roller-coaster rides, emphasizing the importance of timely diagnosis and management to prevent adverse outcomes. Key considerations include the recognition of risk factors, public education on potential risks, and strategies for preventing complications in at-risk populations. Although intracranial hemorrhage from roller-coaster rides is rare, individuals with predisposing conditions, such as prior head trauma or vascular abnormalities, should be evaluated carefully when presenting with neurological symptoms after such activities.

kn-abstract=Introduction: Invasive fungal infection (IFI) after chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy is less common than bacterial and viral infections, but can be fatal once it develops. As most cases occur within 30 days after CAR T-cell infusion, late-onset IFI?particularly mould infection?appears to be under-recognised.<br>
Discussion: We report an illustrative case of pituitary aspergillosis developing as late as one year after CD19 CAR T-cell therapy, highlighting a persistent risk in certain patients with delayed immune reconstitution.<br>
Conclusion: This case underscores the need for continued vigilance and individualised antifungal strategies to prevent IFI beyond the early post-infusion period.<br>
Trial Registration: The authors have confirmed clinical trial registration is not needed for this submission.

kn-title=Comparative Genomic Analysis Identifies FleQ and GcbB as Virulence-Associated Factors in Pseudomonas syringae pv. tabaci Strains
en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=
kn-abstract=Pseudomonas syringae pv. tabaci (Pta) is an important plant pathogen, which causes wildfire disease in Nicotiana species. However, the genetic basis underlying strain-level differences in virulence remains largely unresolved. To address this, we performed a comparative genomic analysis between a highly virulent strain Pta6605 and a less virulent strain Pta7375. Despite high overall genome similarity, we identified key single-nucleotide polymorphisms, including premature stop-codon mutations in seven open reading frames in Pta7375. Notably, point mutations in two regulatory genes, such as fleQ, which encodes a transcription factor essential for flagellar biogenesis and biofilm formation, and gcbB, which encodes a GGDEF domain-containing diguanylate cyclase responsible for cyclic dimeric guanosine monophosphate (c-di-GMP) synthesis, were implicated in virulence disparity. Functional analyses using deletion and locus replacement mutants in the Pta6605 background revealed that the disruption of fleQ markedly reduced motility, flagellin production, c-di-GMP accumulation, biofilm formation and virulence level mirroring the Pta7375 phenotype. The gcbB replacement mutant showed reduced disease symptom development, although c-di-GMP levels remained comparable to the Pta6605 wild type. Locus replacement between strains confirmed that a point mutation in fleQ was the primary driver of reduced motility and flagellin expression in Pta7375. These findings indicate that the reduced virulence of Pta7375 is associated with impaired regulation of flagella-related genes and disruption of the FleQ-mediated c-di-GMP signalling, underscoring the value of comparative genomics in disentangling the complex regulatory networks that govern virulence in plant pathogens.

kn-title=Rotenone targets midbrain astrocytes to produce glial dysfunction-mediated dopaminergic neurodegeneration
en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=
kn-abstract=Exposure to pesticides, such as rotenone or paraquat, is an environmental factor that plays an important role in the pathogenesis of Parkinson's disease (PD). Rotenone induces PD-like pathology and is therefore used to develop parkinsonian animal models. Dopaminergic neurotoxicity caused by rotenone has been attributed to the inhibition of mitochondrial complex I, oxidative stress and neuroinflammation; however, the mechanisms underlying selective dopaminergic neurodegeneration by rotenone remain unclear. To resolve this, we focused on glial diversity and examined whether the brain region-specific glial response to rotenone could determine the vulnerability of dopaminergic neurons using primary cultured neurons, astrocytes and microglia from the midbrain and striatum of rat embryos and rotenone-injected PD model mice. Direct neuronal treatment with low-dose rotenone failed to damage dopaminergic neurons. Conversely, rotenone exposure in the presence of midbrain astrocyte and microglia or conditioned media from rotenone-treated midbrain glial cultures containing astrocytes and microglia produced dopaminergic neurotoxicity, but striatal glia did not. Surprisingly, conditioned media from rotenone-treated midbrain astrocytes or microglia monocultures did not affect neuronal survival. We also demonstrated that rotenone targeted midbrain astrocytes prior to microglia to induce dopaminergic neurotoxicity. Rotenone-treated astrocytes produced secreted protein acidic and rich in cysteine (SPARC) extracellularly, which induced microglial proliferation, increase in IL-1β and TNF-α, and NF-κB (p65) nuclear translocation in microglia, resulting in dopaminergic neurodegeneration. In addition, rotenone exposure caused the secretion of NFAT-related inflammatory cytokines and a reduction in the level of an antioxidant metallothionein (MT)-1 from midbrain glia. Furthermore, we observed microglial proliferation and a decrease in the number of MT-positive astrocytes in the substantia nigra, but not the striatum, of low-dose rotenone-injected PD model mice. Our data highlight that rotenone targets midbrain astrocytes, leading to SPARC secretion, which promotes the neurotoxic conversion of microglia and leads to glial dysfunction-mediated dopaminergic neurodegeneration.

kn-title=AHA’s Life’s Essential-8 cardiovascular health metrics and progression of coronary artery calcification in Japanese men
en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=
kn-abstract=Background and aims: The American Heart Association’s Life’s Essential-8 (LE8) cardiovascular health (CVH) metrics is considered a comprehensive framework for optimal cardiovascular wellbeing. However, its relationship with the progression of subclinical atherosclerosis, like coronary artery calcification (CAC), is not clarified. We investigated the associations of LE8 CVH metrics with the prevalence and progression of CAC in Japanese men.<br>
Methods: We analyzed data from 760 asymptomatic men participating in the Shiga Epidemiological Study of Subclinical Atherosclerosis. We assessed baseline (2006?2008) LE8 CVH (low, 0?49 points; moderate, 50?79 points; high, 80?100 points) using its eight components (diet, physical activity assessed by step count, smoking, sleep, body mass index, blood lipids, blood glucose, blood pressure). We quantified CAC at baseline and follow-up of 5 years employing Agatston’s method and defined its baseline prevalence (CAC >0) and progression (employing Berry’s criteria). Modified Poisson regression analyses were used to estimate risk ratio (RR) and 95 % confidence interval (CI), adjusted for age and family history of cardiovascular disease.<br>
Results: Participants (mean [SD] age, 63.8 [9.4] years) had 63.2 % and 44.9 % prevalence of CAC at baseline and CAC progression at follow-up, respectively. Individuals with moderate and low CVH at baseline had a higher risk of prevalent CAC (RR [95 % CI], 1.42 [1.18?1.71] and 2.07 [1.67?2.57], respectively) at baseline, compared to those with high CVH. Those with moderate and low CVH at baseline had a higher risk of CAC progression (RR [95 % CI], 1.52 [1.17?1.97] and 1.99 [1.42?2.81], respectively), compared to high CVH individuals.<br>
Conclusions: A lower LE8 CVH is significantly associated with a higher risk of prevalence and progression of CAC in general Japanese men.

kn-title=Relationship between obesity indices and cognitive function in Japanese men: A cross-sectional study
en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=
kn-abstract=We aimed to investigate the associations among various obesity indices, including visceral (VAT) and subcutaneous adipose tissue (SAT), and cognitive function in community-dwelling Japanese men. This population-based cross-sectional study used data of 853 men who participated in the follow-up examinations of the Shiga Epidemiological Study of Subclinical Atherosclerosis. Among them, we analyzed data of 776 men who completed the Cognitive Abilities Screening Instrument (CASI) and had abdominal VAT and SAT areas measured using computed tomography. The VAT-to-SAT ratio (VSR) was calculated; participants were categorized into VSR quartiles. Using analysis of covariance, we computed crude and adjusted means of the CASI total and domain scores across VSR quartiles, adjusting for potential confounders. No significant differences were observed in total CASI scores among body mass index, VAT, or SAT quartiles. However, in the multivariable-adjusted model, participants in the lowest VSR quartile (Q1) had significantly lower CASI total scores than those in the third quartile (Q3) (Q1: 89.5, Q3: 90.9). Low VSR was independently associated with lower cognitive function in a community-based sample of middle-aged and older Japanese men. In summary, VSR may be associated with cognitive function in Japanese men, highlighting the importance of fat distribution in cognitive health and highlighting VSR as a useful indicator.

kn-title=C1orf50 Accelerates Epithelial-Mesenchymal Transition and the Cell Cycle of Hepatocellular Carcinoma
en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=
kn-abstract=Background/Aim: Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a heterogeneous liver cancer with limited treatment options and a poor prognosis in advanced stages. To identify novel biomarkers and therapeutic targets, we investigated the role of chromosome 1 open reading frame 50 (C1orf50), a gene with a previously uncharacterized function in HCC.<br>
Materials and Methods: We performed a comprehensive transcriptome data analysis of the human hepatocellular carcinoma project from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) and subsequently validated the oncogenic roles of C1orf50 using HCC cell lines.<br>
Results: Using transcriptomic and clinical data from TCGA, we stratified 355 primary HCC samples based on C1orf50 expression levels. Patients with high C1orf50 expression exhibited significantly shorter overall survival, suggesting its association with aggressive tumor behavior. Differential expression and enrichment analyses revealed that C1orf50-high tumors were enriched in oncogenic pathways, including epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT), cell cycle activation, and stemness-related properties. Transcriptional regulatory network analysis detected 456 significantly dysregulated regulons, including ZEB1/2 and E2F2, key drivers of EMT and cell cycle, in the C1orf50-high group. In addition, we observed increased YAP1/TAZ signaling, further linking C1orf50 to stemness and therapeutic resistance. Functional data from CRISPR-based dependency screening suggested that several transcription factors up-regulated in the C1orf50-high state, such as ZBTB11 and CTCE, are essential for the survival of HCC cells. These findings indicate potential therapeutic vulnerabilities and support the rationale for targeting C1orf50-associated pathways.<br>
Conclusion: C1orf50 is a novel biomarker of poor prognosis in HCC and a key regulator of oncogenic features such as EMT, cell cycle progression, and stemness. This study highlights the therapeutic potential of targeting C1orf50-related networks in aggressive subtypes of liver cancer.
