Association between the ownership of home-based records and continuous, quality maternal and child health service utilisation
Background: The continuity and quality of maternal and child health (MCH) services represent significant challenges in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). Home-based records (HBRs), including the integrated Maternal and Child Health Handbook (MCHHB), may support consistent service usage and improved care quality. We aimed to evaluate the association between HBRs and continued quality MCH care, identifying differences in associations between…
Continuum of care for maternal and child health and child undernutrition in Angola
The completion of CoC is low in Angola and many children miss their opportunity of nutritional intervention. According to our result, improving care utilization and its continuity could improve child nutritional status
Posttraumatic Growth as a Process Beginning Before Bereavement
Calhoun and Tedeschi's growth model focuses on cognitive processing after bereavement but it does not show the change in life narrative from beforehand. Our qualitative study aimed to clarify bereaved family growth and revealed new perspectives on posttraumatic growth (PTG), including that the PTG process involves a pre-bereavement experience and is not limited to positive psychological changes.Based on the two new perspectives, a discussion of P…
Growth Experience Bereaved of a Spouse by Cancer
The grief experienced by bereaved families can lead to positive changes, and its relevance to the emerging concept of posttraumatic growth has been explored. However, studies on survivors bereaved of a spouse by cancer are scarce; consequently, the nature of growth remains poorly understood. This study aimed to explore the growth experiences of survivors bereaved of a spouse by cancer. Based on Merleau-Ponty's theory of the body, we phenomenologi…
Does the increase in Caesarian-section rates contribute to the recent debrachycephalizaion in Japan
明治時代以後急速に進んだ短頭化は,1960年代生まれ以後の世代で反短頭化へと転じた。時代変化の逆転が環境要因によるならば,頭部寸法が成人値の80~90%に到達する1歳までの環境要因変化によると考えられる。そのような環境要因の一つである,1980年代半ばから急増した帝王切開が成人時の頭示数に与える効果を検討した。1990~1998年生まれの女子大学生122名を対象に,アンケートにより分娩様式の確認を行い,頭長と頭幅を計測した。このうち双生児2名と早産児1名を除く119名のデータを分析対象とした。自然分娩における頭部吸引の効果を分散分析により調べた。この結果,頭部吸引あり,吸引無し,吸引に関する情報なし,の3群で,頭長,頭幅,頭示数に有意差はなかった。このため,これら3群をプールして自然分娩群とした。自然分娩群(98名)と帝王切開群(21名)の差をt-検定で調べた結果,頭長,頭幅,頭示数のいずれにも分娩様式による差は認められなかった。以上の結果は,出産時の頭部変形の効果は短期的だという従来の…
Cumulative incidence, distribution, and determinants of catastrophic health expenditure in Nepal
This study identified a high cumulative incidence of CHE. CHE was disproportionately concentrated in the poor households and households located in the far-western region. Policy-makers should focus on prioritizing households vulnerable to CHE. Interventions to reduce economic burden of out-of-pocket healthcare payment are imperative to lower incidences of CHE among those households. Improving literacy rate might also be useful in order to lower C…
Marine Reservoir Effects Deduced from 14 C Dates on Pottery Residues, Bones, and Molluskan Shells from the Hamanaka 2 Archaeological Site, Rebun Island, Hokkaido, Japan
This article investigates the marine reservoir effects from apparent age differences among molluskan shells, birds, and sea mammals from the Hamanaka 2 archaeological site, Rebun Island, Japan, which was occupied during the latter half of the Late Jomon period (1300−1200 cal BC). The radiocarbon ages were younger in the order of charred wood 14 C yr. ΔR values of bone collagen for Alcidae (a family of seabirds) and Japanese sea lion were 289 and …
Community Trial on Heat Related-Illness Prevention Behaviors and Knowledge for the Elderly
This study aims to explore whether broadcasting heat health warnings (HHWs), to every household and whether the additional home delivery of bottled water labeled with messages will be effective in improving the behaviors and knowledge of elderly people to prevent heat-related illness. A community trial on heat-related-illness-prevention behaviors and knowledge for people aged between 65 and 84 years was conducted in Nagasaki, Japan. Five hundred …

Relative chronology of the Minatogawa and the Upper Minatogawa series of human remains from Okinawa Island, Japan
A series of human fossils, the so-called ‘Minatogawa Man’ material, unearthed from the fissure site at the Minatogawa limestone quarry on Okinawa Island, is well known as the best preserved Pleistocene human remains in Japan. Another series of ‘Upper Minatogawa’ human remains was also recovered from the same fissure site. Although the Upper Minatogawa series was supposed to be derived from higher horizons than the Minatogawa series, and this supp…
Mortality profiles of late Pleistocene deer remains of Okinawa Island
In the present study, we estimated age at death of extinct deer (Cervus astylodon) excavated from two Late Pleistocene sites in Okinawa Island (the Hananda-Gama Cave and Yamashita-cho Cave I sites) from degree of molar wear. This was done using a regression equation of extant sika deer of known age, and deriving an age estimation equation based on M3 crown height applicable to fossil specimens. We then reconstructed mortality profiles using 45 an…
Inter-generation Differences in Cephalic Measurements
顔面サイズの世代差を調べるために,青年女性65名(平均年齢22.3歳)とその母親55名(平均年齢51.1歳),青年男性35名(平均年齢25.0歳)とその父親29名(平均年齢56.5歳)について6項目の頭顔部寸法を計測した。男女の下顎角幅と女性の頭長と申告身長に5%水準で有意な世代差が認められた。ステップワイズ判別分析の結果,世代の判別において最も重要な項目は下顎角幅であった。子供世代の方が下顎角幅が小さく,顔サイズが小さい。世代差の原因が骨あるいは軟部組織の時代変化,下顎骨の成長,軟部組織の加齢による増加のいずれによるかは,今回のデータからは不明である
Dating of the Hamakita human remains from Japan
Human and non-human remains recovered in the early 1960s from the Negata site at Hamakita, central Japan were dated by radiocarbon accelerator mass spectrometry. These results and revised fluorine dating yielded consistent dates of about 14.0 14C ka BP for the Hamakita Upper Layer human bones, and the most probable age estimate of around 17.9 14C ka BP for the Hamakita Lower Layer human bone. These dates confirm the provisional assignment of the …
Dating of Mikkabi Human Remains from Japan
Human skeletal remains were recovered in 1959 and 1961 from Tadaki Quarry at Mikkabi, central Japan. The mammalian fauna of the site includes extinct species of elephant (Palaeoloxodon naumanni) and giant deer (Sinomegaceros sp.), and the Mikkabi human remains have been considered to date back to the Late Pleistocene. Radiocarbon dating and revised fluorine dating of the human and non-human bones, however as we report here, show that the faunal r…

First discovery of the ancient dingo‐type dog in Polynesia (Pukapuka, Cook Islands)
A Dingo‐type dog skeleton was excavated in Pukapuka Island of the Cook Islands with an estimated age of about 350 years. Luomala (1960) suggested that an investigation of the breed of Polynesian dogs would provide clues to the history of migration of the Polynesians, who domesticated the dogs. The Pukapuka dog skeleton is morphologically similar to the dingo and suggests some racial or economical interchange among Australia and Polynesian islands…
Fluorine dating of horse remains from Osaki shellmound in Noda City. Debatable existence of horses in Jomon period
野田市にある縄文遺跡の大崎貝塚において,1986年,シカ•イノシシなどと共にウマの骨が出土した。縄文貝塚からは従来ウマが記録され,当時代にウマが存在していたとされるが,近年,精密で大規模な発掘が増加したにもかかわらず,縄文文化層からウマの出土した例が増えないことから,従来の記録の信頼性が問われている。大崎貝塚のウマの骨にっいては,出土状況に他の動物骨との相違が認められず,当貝層が形成された縄文後期に属する可能性が示唆された。そこで,骨のフッ素分析による年代判定を試みた。その結果,ウマは後世の混入であると判断された。他の縄文貝塚においてもウマの骨の混入が指摘されており,「縄文馬」の存否については再検討を要する
