Does Last Year’s Cost Predict the Present Cost? An Application of Machine Leaning for the Japanese Area-Basis Public Health Insurance Database
The increasing healthcare cost imposes a large economic burden for the Japanese government. Predicting the healthcare cost may be a useful tool for policy making. A database of the area-basis public health insurance of one city was analyzed to predict the medical healthcare cost by the dental healthcare cost with a machine learning strategy. The 30,340 subjects who had continued registration of the area-basis public health insurance of Ebina city…
Levels of Physical Fitness and Weight Status in Children and Adolescents
This study compared the physical fitness level and weight status of children and adolescents in China and Japan. Children and adolescents aged 7-18 years were recruited (China: n = 5660; Japan: n = 5660). Physical fitness was assessed using seven core items-grip strength, 30-s sit-ups, standing long jump, sit-and-reach, 20-s repeated straddling, 20-m shuttle run test, and 50-m dash. A physical fitness index (PFI) was calculated by adding all item…
Comparison of growth and nutritional status of Chinese and Japanese children and adolescents
Compared with Japanese children, Chinese children tended to be taller. The worrying burden of overweight, obesity and wasting was recognised among Chinese children
Differences in Cardiorespiratory Fitness between Chinese and Japanese Children and Adolescents
CRF among Chinese participants was lower than among Japanese participants while the VO 2max value showed different trends in primary school. Effective measures should be taken to improve CRF among children and adolescents
Japanese Labour Unions and Nuclear Energy
This article analyses how diverse stances toward nuclear energy were produced and reproduced among Japanese labour unions from the mid-1960s to the mid-1980s, and how these stances of the formative period influenced the subsequent development of inter-union politics before and after the Fukushima nuclear plant disaster in 2011, based on content analysis of union bulletins and other materials of pro- and anti-nuclear energy unions. This article as…
Orangutan Cultures and the Evolution of Material Culture
Geographic variation in some aspects of chimpanzee behavior has been interpreted as evidence for culture. Here we document similar geographic variation in orangutan behaviors. Moreover, as expected under a cultural interpretation, we find a correlation between geographic distance and cultural difference, a correlation between the abundance of opportunities for social learning and the size of the local cultural repertoire, and no effect of habitat…
The transformation of the vision of labor unionism
Co-operative economic unionism, the type of unionism commonly associated with the Japanese model of industrial relations, was politically constructed through conflicts between advocates of economic unionism, and Communists, as well as between advocates of different types of economic unionism. This paper examines three factors shaping union behavior: (1) the vision or worldview of union leaders; (2) a union's own political dynamics; and (3) the la…
Toward an Alternative Analytic Approach to the Internal Politics of Unions
This paper discusses theoretical issues in analyzing the internal politics of unions in Japan. The main argument is that the autonomy of unions' internal political processes from management should not be assumed and that the very development of internal politics of unions may be influenced by the actors with which the unions interact. The paper first reviews previous research on the internal politics of unions in Western countries and discusses a…
Tooth Crown Affinities among South Korean, Central Taiwanese, and Certain Japanese Populations
To understand the derivation of modern Japanese, tooth crown affinities were evaluated among nine samples. Dental casts from two samples, Pusan and Hiroshima, were added to the materials from the Akita, Tanegashima, Tsushima, Okinawa, and central Taiwan samples of our previous study (Suzuki and Takahama, 1992) as well as those from prehistoric Japanese of the Jomon and Yayoi eras (Brace and Nagai, 1982). Cluster analysis (Ward method) was carried…
Tooth Crown Affinities among Five Populations from Akita, Tsushima, Tanegashima, Okinawa in Japan, and Middle Taiwan
Mesiodistal and buccolingual tooth crown diameters were measured on the dental casts collected from four different populations in Japan and one from Taiwan, China. The samples consisted of 206 senior high school students in Akita, 190Tanegashima, 122 Tsushima, 225 Okinawa and 197 Taiwan. Measurements were made twice by one operator using specially made sliding calipers. The reliability of measurement was evaluated on each tooth.From principal com…
Characteristics of American and Japanese Schizophrenic Patients Elicited By the Rorschach Technique and Demographic Data
This cross-cultural study addressed itself to the investigation of personality characteristics of American and Japanese schizophrenic patients as elicited by the Rorschach technique and demographic data. Unlike traditional cross-cultural studies of schizophrenia with their emphasis upon the symptomatology of schizophrenia, the present study aimed its focus upon the personality aspect of schizophrenic population. In an attempt to elucidate such ch…
The Origin of Hominid Hunting
Primate Communication and the Gestural Origin of Language [and Comments and Reply]
Wallace, Tylor, Wundt, Johannesson, and others have proposed that human language had its basis in hand and arm gestures. The Gardners' work with the chimpanzee Washoe, Premack's study of the chimpanzee Sarah, and continuing experiments along these lines indicate that neural restructuring would not have been necessary for the protohominid acquisition of a simple propositional gesture or sign language which did not involve cross-modal transfer at a…

On the problems of conservation of the chimpanzees in East Africa and of the preservation of their environment
Carnivority and Cannibalism Observed among Forest-living Chimpanzees
The author observed three times Cimpanzees eat meat in the Budongo Forest, Uganda, Eeast Africa. On two of the occasions the preys in turn were a young blue monky (Cercopithecus mitis) and a young black and white Colobus monkey (Colobus polykomos). On the final occasion, however, it is worthy of note, the prey was a newborn chimpanzee (Pan troglodytes). In connection with the meat-eating among chimpanzee, several interesting behavior patterns, su…
