Breadth and orientation of pie menus for mid-air interaction
The number and layout of options within pie menus are crucial for determining the direction of radial swiping in mid-air interactions, influencing the physical demands imposed on users. This research examined six distinct option quantities, referred to as menu breadth, and investigated two layouts, designated as menu orientations. These orientations encompass landscape and portrait formats, with the former positioning a top option centred paralle…
Designing A Tool for Small Rural Community Classification Based on Traditional Belief and Its Implication for Future Tourism Development
This research focused on the cultural and economic significance of traditional ghost beliefs in rural communities. The primary objectives of this study are threefold: 1) the development and contribution of tools and processes for classifying communities based on their ghost beliefs, 2) the testing and validation of these classification tools, and 3) the proposition of strategies aimed at leveraging ghost beliefs for local community space developm…
Longitudinal Changes in Occupational Balance among Baby Boomers in Japan (1996–2016)
In Japan, the proportion of the older adult population-the post-war baby boomer generation-is increasing rapidly and presenting new problems, such as suicide among baby boomers and the burden of family care. The purpose of this study was to clarify how baby boomers changed their occupational balance between their 40s and 60s. This study used public statistical data from the Survey on Time Use and Leisure Activities published by the Statistics Bur…
Multiproduct Intermediaries
This paper develops a new framework for studying multiproduct intermediaries when consumers demand multiple products and face search frictions. We show that a multiproduct intermediary is profitable even when it does not improve consumer search efficiency. The intermediary optimally stocks high-value products exclusively to attract consumers to visit and then profits by selling nonexclusive products that are relatively cheap to buy from upstream …
Blasphemy and persecution
In May 2017, Basuki Tjahaja Purnama, popularly known as Ahok, the former Christian governor of Jakarta, Indonesia, was found guilty of blasphemy and sentenced to two years in prison. Although he was released in January 2019, his trial and the various reactions it elicited continue to highlight the very sensitive and complex issues surrounding the notion and enforcement of blasphemy and how different communities talk about it. This article focuses…
Cumulative impact of axial, structural, and repolarization ECG findings on long-term cardiovascular mortality among healthy individuals in Japan
Individual ECG abnormalities had an additive effect in predicting CVD outcome risk in our large-scale cohort study.
Sexuality education in junior high schools in Japan
This paper aims to determine via responses to three questionnaire surveys how sexuality education programs are conducted at junior high schools in Japan. Study 1 examined the practice of sexuality education in schools, Study 2 investigated junior high school students' (age 12–13 and 14–15 years) knowledge of sexuality, and Study 3 examined parents'/guardians' views on sexuality education. For Study 1, 703 principals of 5158 junior high schools re…
Advance Purchase Discounts Versus Clearance Sales
This article considers advance selling problems. It explains why some goods (e.g. airline tickets) are sold cheap to early buyers, while others (e.g. theatre tickets) offer discounts to those who buy late. We derive the profit maximising selling strategy for a monopolist when aggregate demand is certain but buyers face uncertainty about their individual demands. When aggregate demand exceeds capacity, both Advance Purchase Discounts as well as Cl…
Smoking estimates from around the world
The World Mental Health Surveys estimates complement existing global tobacco monitoring efforts. The observed global diversity of associations with smoking and smoking cessation underscore reasons for implementation of the Framework Convention on Tobacco Control provisions and prompt local adaptation of prevention and control interventions
Common Chronic Pain Conditions in Developed and Developing Countries
The performance of the Japanese version of the K6 and K10 in the World Mental Health Survey Japan
Two new screening scales for psychological distress, the K6 and K10, have been developed using the item response theory and shown to outperform existing screeners in English. We developed their Japanese versions using the standard backtranslaton method and included them in the World Mental Health Survey Japan (WMH‐J), which is a psychiatric epidemiologic study conducted in seven communities across Japan with 2436 participants. The WMH‐J used the …
Administration of hepatitis B vaccine in winter as a significant predictor of the poor effectiveness of vaccination in rural Mongolia
Background: Universal hepatitis B (HB) immunisation is the most effective means for prevention of hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection worldwide. Maintaining the vaccine cold chain is an essential part of a successful immunisation programme. Our recent nationwide survey in Mongolia has observed significant urban–rural differences in the prevalence of HBV infection among vaccinated cohorts. Objective: To examine whether the administration of HB vacci…
Are comprehensive environmental changes as effective as health education for smoking cessation
Cumulative environmental changes are fairly effective in promoting smoking cessation, and may yield similar smoking cessation rates as a health education intervention reaching all smokers regardless of their willingness to quit smoking
A Study of Fish-hook in the Jomon Culture
1. In the Jomon Period, Neolithic culture of Japan, 495 fish-hooks have been recovered from 77 sites, of which 430 are one-piece hooks, and 65 two-piece hooks. However, no composite hook has ever been found.2. One-piece hooks are classified into six types: (1) non-barbed; (2) out-barbed; (3) in-barbed; (4) both-barbed; (5) stem-barbed; (6) anker-type, and of these hooks non-barbed and out-barbed are most popular. In other words, it may well be sa…
