Validity and Wear Compliance of Wrist-Worn Consumer Activity Trackers Among Japanese School-Aged Children Under Free-Living Conditions
Background : Wrist-worn consumer activity trackers are widely used to promote physical activity (PA) and reduce sedentary behavior (SB). However, evidence regarding their validity for measuring PA and SB in free-living school-aged children remains limited. This study evaluated the concurrent validity and wear compliance of a wrist-worn consumer activity tracker in school-aged children under free-living conditions with protocol-defined wear requir…
Progress towards universal health coverage in South Asia, 2000–2030
BACKGROUND: Universal health coverage (UHC) is crucial for achieving Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 3: Good Health and Well-being. This study projects UHC progress in seven South Asian countries by 2030, focusing on two crucial underpinning components, primary healthcare (PHC) service coverage and financial risk protection. METHODS: We applied Bayesian random-effects models to project UHC indicators linked to PHC and financial risk protection…
Socio-demographic disparities in health-related quality of life in hypertensive patients in Bangladesh
Study findings indicate disparities in HRQoL based on age, gender, education, and socioeconomic status, highlighting the need for targeted policy interventions
An interdisciplinary approach to environmental conservation policy
This study proposes a practice and discussion for an interdisciplinary approach to policies for the conservation of suburban and peri-urban ecosystems. We highlight the need for evidence-based assessment of the current quality of the targeted nature from perspectives of natural science and problem formulation, and that causes should be investigated from the combined perspectives of social science, economic evaluation, and policy design and evalua…

The Changes in Concentration of Cerebral Oxygenated Hemoglobin During Single Event-Related Japanese Shiritori Task in Patients With Major Depression Disorder
Patients with major depressive disorder (MDD) have been reported to show cognitive impairments in attention, cognition control, and motivation. The purpose of this study is to compare and examine the characteristics of frontal and temporal cortical activity in outpatients with MDD during the word production task (Shiritori) using a single event-related Near-Infrared Spectroscopy (NIRS) measurement method that was originally devised. The subjects …
Koshu GRoup Activity, Active Play and Exercise (GRAPE) Study
School-based programmes need to be effective, easy for all, easy to perform within a short duration, and inexpensive. However, no studies have reported whether voluntarily and very short-time active play programmes contribute to improved health outcomes. This study aims to describe the GRoup activity, Active Play and Exercise (GRAPE) cluster randomised controlled trial that examined whether active play interventions of very short durations contri…
Understanding and assessing uncertainty of observational climate datasets for model evaluation using ensembles
In climate science, observational gridded climate datasets that are based on in situ measurements serve as evidence for scientific claims and they are used to both calibrate and evaluate models. However, datasets only represent selected aspects of the real world, so when they are used for a specific purpose they can be a source of uncertainty. Here, we present a framework for understanding this uncertainty of observational datasets which distingu…
Association between Maternal Smoking during Pregnancy and Missing Teeth in Adolescents
Tooth agenesis and disturbance of tooth eruption is the most prevalent oral defect, and is possibly caused by the interaction of genetic and environmental factors. We hypothesized that prenatal factors may affect tooth development. The objective of this study was to examine whether smoking during pregnancy was associated with missing teeth in the offspring during adolescence. The study population comprised pregnant women and their children regist…
Natural Resource Extraction in a Federation
We analyze a natural resource extraction problem in a two-region economy with mobile labour. One region produces manufacturing goods while the other produces agriculture and extracts a non-renewable resource. Manufacturing production exhibits increasing returns-to-scale if the production level is sufficiently high. There are multiple long-run equilibrium labour allocations towards which the economy may converge. Under decentralized resource manag…
Global surveillance of trends in cancer survival 2000–14 (Concord-3)
BACKGROUND: In 2015, the second cycle of the CONCORD programme established global surveillance of cancer survival as a metric of the effectiveness of health systems and to inform global policy on cancer control. CONCORD-3 updates the worldwide surveillance of cancer survival to 2014. METHODS: CONCORD-3 includes individual records for 37·5 million patients diagnosed with cancer during the 15-year period 2000-14. Data were provided by 322 populatio…
Do body mass index trajectories affect the risk of type 2 diabetes? A case–control study
The present study suggested that the pace of increasing BMIs is similar between Japanese diabetic patients and healthy individuals. The increasing BMI was not detected to independently affect the onset of type 2 diabetes
SP1-12 Relationship between sleep duration at 3 years of age and growth during childhood
Introduction Short sleep duration in early life has been thought to be a risk factor for subsequent overweight. This study aimed to examine the relationship between sleep duration at 3 years of age and childhood weight status through a multi-level analysis. Methods The study population comprised children born between 1 April 1991, and 31 March 2003, in Koshu City, Japan, and who participated in a medical check-up at 3 years of age. Short and long…
P1-513 Association between change of weight status and development of depression during puberty
Background Many studies have reported the association between overweight and depressive status during puberty. Recently, it has been suggested that this association is affected by a person9s image of their body which differ between gender and nationality. Although these associations were mainly examined by cross-sectional study, this study aimed to examine the relationship between change in weight and developing depression, taking into account ge…
A simple dynamic decentralized leadership model with private savings and local borrowing regulation
Global Surface Temperature Change
(GISS) analysis of global surface temperature change, compare alternative analyses, and address questions about perception and reality of global warming. Satellite‐observed night lights are used to identify measurement stations located in extreme darkness and adjust temperature trends of urban and periurban stations for nonclimatic factors, verifying that urban effects on analyzed global change are small. Because the GISS analysis combines availa…
Confirmatory factor analysis of the Child Feeding Questionnaire (CFQ) in Japanese elementary school children
Longevity, Health Spending, and Pay-as-you-Go Pensions
This paper aims at investigating whether or not a utilitarian social planner should subsidize longevity-enhancing expenditures in an economy with a pay-as-you-go pension system. For that purpose, a two-period overlapping-generations model is developed, in which the probability of survival to the second period can be raised by private health spending. Focusing on the steady state, it is shown that the sign of the optimal subsidy on health expendit…
Too big or too small? A synthetic view of the commitment problem of interregional transfers
Long‐Term Care
In this paper we study the optimal design of a long term care policy in a setting that includes three types of care to dependent parents: public nursing, private nursing and assistance in time by children. Private nursing can be financed either by financial aid from children or by private insurance. The social planner can use a number of instruments: public nursing, subsidy to aiding children, subsidy to private insurance premiums, all financed b…
A Vision of Empire
A Vision of Empire: Kita Ikki and the Making of Modern Japan provides us with a discussion of the ideology of Kita Ikki (1883–1937), who has come to be known as the founder of Japanese fascism. Current interest in Kita Ikki, often described as the embodiment of prewar Japanese ultranationalist ideology, is extremely high within Japan. With some changes over the years, this interest has remained consistently high from the postwar period through to…
The Nago Mayoral Election and Okinawa s Search for a Way Beyond Bases and Dependence
Okinawa is far from Tokyo, even farther from Washington. An insignificant group of islands with a mere 1.3 million people, it is, more than anywhere, the child of the US-Japan relationship, in which the essential nature of both, and of their relationship, is starkly revealed. Insignificant ... and yet, by their location between China and Japan, and between Japan and Southeast Asia, they are of extraordinary strategic significance in the postwar s…
