Purpose: The human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine is safe and effective for preventing HPV-related diseases. However, HPV vaccination rates in Japan are low because the “Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare” had stopped recommending vaccination. We assessed healthcare workers’ (HCWs) current recommendations regarding the HPV vaccine and how the provision of information about HPV vaccination affected their recommendations. Materials and Methods: A survey was conducted among nurses and physicians in Nara prefecture from March 2021 to July 2021. The questionnaire asked about their understanding, recommendations, and opinions regarding HPV vaccination. Before answering the last two questions (optional), the HCWs read evidence-based information quantifying the risks and benefits of HPV vaccination. Results: A total of 441 HCWs completed the questionnaire. Only 19% of HCWs always recommended HPV vaccination for girls aged 12–16 years. The evidence-based information significantly improved the percentage of HCWs who would “always recommend” vaccination. Conclusion: This study showed that the proportion of HCWs who recommend HPV vaccination to adolescent girls remains low in Japan. However, we found that evidence-based information describing the causal relationship between adverse events and vaccination, quantifying the risks and benefits, noting the importance of HCW communications with families, and reporting the recommendations of national societies, might increase HCWs’ recommendations for HPV vaccination.

With a view to seek the influence of hollow sphere pigments of latex upon the printed color on coated paper surface, the hollow sphere pigments were compared with filled ones in a variety of experimental approaches.<br/> Colloidal properties of latices were determined by measuring zeta potential and particle size distribution. For the amphoteric filled sphere pigment of latex, the polarity was reversed from the negative side to the positive side with decreasing pH. An extraordinarily high peak in the particle size distribution of the amphoteric filled evidenced aggregation between latex particles near the isoelectric point, depending on the electrolyte concentration and pH of the suspending medium.<br/> Coated papers containing the hollow sphere pigment in their coating improved optical properties like gloss and brightness. Optical parameters solely of the coating could account for this finding. An equation derived from the<br/> Kubelka-Munk equation calculated them /Tom twice measurements of reflectance of a coated paper over two substrates of different reflectances. This method permitted to predict brightness of coated paper of which coat weight would be different from the actual one.<br/> The colorimetric parameters of solid-printed surfaces of the coated papers closely related to optical and structural properties of the coated papers. The color of the printed surfaces was dominated by the brightness and the smoothness of the coated papers.<br/> The hollow sphere pigments were proved to improve optical properties of coated paper and to control minutely colorimetric parameters of printed surfaces.

We have developed a new rehabilitation support system, UR-System 2, for restoring the motor function of a plegic upper limb after a stroke. Its design is based on knowledge gained during clinical testing of the UR-System. The UR-System 2 was equipped with the facilitating function of elbow extension based on the proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation technique and the measurement function for evaluating isolated movements. In this study, we verified the effectiveness of the facilitating function on a patient. In addition, we verified the immediate recovery effect of training with the UR-System 2 on a patient. In this training, elbow flexion and extension of the paralyzed forearm were repeated 150 times. As a result, we confirmed the improvement of isolated movements, namely the decrease in pronation torque of the paralyzed forearm during training and the suppression of the pronation angle before and after training. Moreover, the active ranges of motion and the modified Ashworth scale score improved after training, which indicated a reduction in spastic paralysis. These results show the immediate recovery effect of training with the UR-System 2 for restoring the motor function of the upper limb.
Expressing Ignorance in Japanese: Contrastive wa versus sukunakutomo
( Hitomi Hirayama ),( Adrian Brasoveanu ) 서울대학교 인지과학연구소 2018 Journal of Cognitive Science Vol.19 No.3
In a series of three experiments, we investigate ignorance inferences triggered by two numeral modifiers in Japanese, contrastive wa and sukunakutomo ‘at least’. Experiment 1 (self-paced reading followed by acceptability judgments) investigates how Questions under Discussion (QuDs) affect ignorance inferences and shows that wa is QuD sensitive, while sukunakutomo is not. Given the results, we hypothesize that there is a competition between the two ways of expressing ignorance: sukunakutomo unambiguously encodes ignorance and is therefore preferred when the speaker wants to express uncertainty. In contrast, wa simply requires the presence of alternatives to the at-issue content, which are possible as far as the speaker is concerned. These alternatives can be about numbers, which trigger ignorance inferences, but need not be. Experiments 2 and 3 are forced binary choice tasks. Experiment 2 investigated how sensitive people are to ignorance of the speaker or contextual contrast when they are given a choice between wa and ga. Experiment 3 compared wa and sukunakutomo and supported the competition hypothesis. Specifically, Experiment 3 shows that sukunakutomo is preferred when the speaker is ignorant, while wa is preferred when the speaker is knowledgeable, and there is a contextually salient contrast that wa picks up on.
Anatomical study of the bone morphology of the anterior talofibular ligament attachment

Anterior talofibular ligament (ATFL) injuries are the most common cause of ankle sprains. To ensure anatomicallyaccurate surgery and ultrasound imaging of the ATFL, anatomical knowledge of the bony landmarks around the ATFL attachment to the distal fibula is required. The purpose of the present study was to anatomically investigate the ATFL attachment to the fibula with respect to bone morphology and attachment structures. First, we analyzed 36 feet using micro-computed tomography. After excluding 9 feet for deformities, the remaining 27 feet were used for chemically debrided bone analysis and macroscopic and histological observations. Ten feet of living specimens were observed using ultrasonography. We found that a bony ridge was present at the boundary between the attachments of the ATFL and calcaneofibular ligament (CFL) to the fibula. These two attachments could be distinguished based on a difference in fiber orientation. Histologically, the ATFL was attached to the anterodistal part of the fibula via fibrocartilage anterior to the bony ridge indicating the border with the CFL attachment. Using ultrasonography in living specimens, the bony ridge and hyperechoic fibrillar pattern of the ATFL could be visualized. We established that the bony ridge corresponded to the posterior margin of the ATFL attachment itself. The ridge was obvious, and the superior fibers of the ATFL have directly attached anteriorly to it. This bony ridge could become a valuable and easy-to-use landmark for ultrasound imaging of the ATFL attachment if combined with the identification of the fibrillar pattern of the ATFL.
TORANOMON HILLS - Super High-Rise Building on Urban Highway -
Hitomi, Yasuyoshi,Takahashi, Hiroshi,Karasaki, Hidenori Council on Tall Building and Urban Habitat Korea 2014 International journal of high-rise buildings Vol.3 No.3
TORANOMON HILLS is the main building of a large-scale re-development project located in the center of Tokyo. This high-rise building has a height of 247 m and 52 floors above ground, 5 floors below ground, and $62m{\times}80m$ in plan. It is used as hotel, residential facilities, offices, shops and conference facilities. The super structure is mainly a rigid steel frame with response-control devices, using concrete-filled steel tube columns. The underground section is a mixed structure composed of steel, steel-reinforced concrete and reinforced concrete framings. The piled-raft foundation type is used. The remarkable feature of this high-rise building is that the motorway runs through the basements of the building, which makes it stand just above the motorway. This condition is an important factor of the building design. The plan shape is designed to fit along the curve of the motorway. Special columns at the corners are required to avoid placing columns in the motorway. This special column is a single inclined column in the lower floors that branches into two columns in the mid-floors to suit the column location in the upper floors. The cast steel joint is used for the branching point of each special column to securely transfer the stress.
