Risk Factors for Alcohol Consumption after Starting Assisted Reproductive Technology Treatment among Japanese Women
In our study, habitual drinking among women undergoing ART treatment was significantly associated with older age, no history of childbirth, partner's current drinking status, and working
Source Identification Analysis of Lead in the Blood of Japanese Children by Stable Isotope Analysis
Considering the negative effect of lead (Pb) on children's neurodevelopment, Pb exposure should be minimized to the lowest extent possible, though the blood Pb (BPb) concentrations in Japanese children are among the lowest in the world. To identify the sources of Pb in blood, isotope ratios (IRs: 207 Pb/ 206 Pb and 208 Pb/ 206 Pb) of Pb (PbIR) in whole blood from eight Japanese children were measured by multi-collector ICP mass spectrometry. Furt…
Japan’s media fails its watchdog role
The Disaster and Media Research Group conducted for the first time, extensive, in-depth interviews with newsroom executives of 14 Japanese mainstream national media outlets (8 newspapers and wire services, and 6 broadcasting networks) on their reflections of Japanese media coverage of the 2011 Great East Japan Earthquake and Tsunami. The Japanese media takes pride in their ability to swiftly communicate news alerts and evacuation announcements. H…

Radiocarbon Marine Reservoir Effect in Human Remains from the Kitakogane Site, Hokkaido, Japan
Radiocarbon and Stable Isotope Analyses on the Earliest Jomon Skeletons from the Tochibara Rockshelter, Nagano, Japan
This study presents the results of carbon and nitrogen isotopic analyses of six human skeletons excavated from the Tochibara rockshelter (Nagano, Japan). The human skeletons were reported to be accompanied by “Oshigata-mon” type pottery dating to the Earliest Jomon period (8900 BP ≃ 6600 BP). A radiocarbon determination from charcoal associated with the human remains was reported to be 8650 ± 180 BP (GaK-1056). However, the depositional context o…
Compound-Specific Radiocarbon Ages of Fatty Acids in Marine Sediments from the Western North Pacific
Compound-specific radiocarbon analysis of five fatty-acid biomarkers was conducted for marine sediments collected from the western North Pacific. The fatty acids (C 12 to C 34 ) showed a typical bimodal distribution pattern with two maxima at C 16 and C 26 . Their carbon isotopic compositions ranged from −25.1‰ (C 16 ) to −31.8‰ (C 28 ), suggesting that they derived from terrestrial higher plants and marine organisms. A large variations of 14 C a…
Marine Radiocarbon Reservoir Effect in the Western North Pacific Observed in Archaeological Fauna
Faunal remains originating from terrestrial and marine mammals, and belonging to the same archaeological deposits were compared to evaluate the marine radiocarbon reservoir ages around the Hokkaido island, Japan. From five shell middens of different ages from the Jomon period (4900 BP) to the Ainu cultural period (800 BP), 107 animal bone samples were selected for radiocarbon measurements. The apparent age differences between Japanese deer and no…
Motor ability in adults with mental retardation evaluated by 7-item physical performance test
According to the motor ability model (Nagasaki et al., 1995) constructed three factors (hand power, balance, and walking), a 7-item physical performance test (grip strength, tapping, one-leg standing with eyes open and with eyes closed, beam walking, preferred speed walking and maximum speed walking) was administered to 217 adults with mental retardation (age 18-68 years).(1) The relationships between chronological age and all of the physical per…
Sex Differences in Facial Skin Temperature When Exposed to Darkness With and Without Warning
The changes in skin temperature under anxiety were investigated by noninvasive measurements. The nasal skin temperature of 20 subjects was assessed by thermography. The measurement of the skin temperature by thermistor causes stress in subjects. The primary advantages of a thermography over use of a thermistor are noninvasive and accurate. Each subject was made anxious under the 2 conditions of sudden darkness (Sudden darkness condition) or exper…
Characteristics of Perseverative Errors by School-Age Children
The present study was designed to investigate characteristics by 38 school-age children in Grades 2, 4, and 6 of perseverative errors using the Wisconsin Card Sorting Test. Children's performance was measured as number of categories completed and perseverative errors, which were classified into perseverative errors of types described by Milner in 1963 and Nelson in 1976. Analysis indicated that the number of completed categories increased and per…

Computer Use in Schools for the Blind in Japan
In a school for the blind, computer use and feelings toward computers by 34 visually impaired students receiving secondary education and by their 42 teachers were investigated with a questionnaire. Most subjects used computers effectively, but some students who had low vision did not wish to use them to avoid strain on their eyes. The computers allowed use of Kanji (Chinese characters) by the blind students, providing a new tool in their learning…
