Testing Seventeen Centuries of Claims
For seventeen centuries, basilica-plan churches have remained among Christianity’s most enduring architectural forms. Scholars have long argued that features such as bell towers, axial orientation toward the altar, upward light, noble materials, verticality, monumental scale, beauty, and figurative iconography communicate sacred meaning and shape religious experience, though these claims have remained largely grounded in historical, architectural…
Potential Neural Mediators of Mom Power Parenting Intervention Effects on Maternal Intersubjectivity and Stress Resilience
Stress resilience in parenting depends on the parent's capacity to understand subjective experiences in self and child, namely intersubjectivity, which is intimately related to mimicking other's affective expressions (i. e., mirroring). Stress can worsen parenting by potentiating problems that can impair intersubjectivity, e.g., problems of "over-mentalizing" (misattribution of the child's behaviors) and "under-coupling" (inadequate child-oriente…
Mindfulness-oriented recovery enhancement reduces opioid dose in primary care by strengthening autonomic regulation during meditation
The current opioid crisis was fueled by escalation of opioid dosing among patients with chronic pain. Yet, there are few evidence-based psychological interventions for opioid dose reduction among chronic pain patients treated with long-term opioid analgesics. Mindfulness-Oriented Recovery Enhancement (MORE), which was designed to target mechanisms underpinning chronic pain and opioid misuse, has shown promising results in 2 randomized clinical tr…
Investigating Clinical Benefits of a Novel Sleep-Focused Mind-Body Program on Gulf War Illness Symptoms
OBJECTIVE: Mind-Body Bridging (MBB) has been shown to be effective for improving disturbed sleep. In this prospective randomized controlled trial, we evaluated the efficacy of sleep-focused MBB compared with sleep education control (SED) for improving sleep in previously deployed Gulf War veterans. METHODS: US military service members with sleep and physical health complaints who were deployed in 1990-1991 were randomized to receive three weekly …
Investigating Impacts of Incorporating an Adjuvant Mind–Body Intervention Method Into Treatment as Usual at a Community-Based Substance Abuse Treatment Facility
Treatment of substance use/misuse (SUM) continues to pose a difficult challenge. This exploratory pilot study evaluated whether a novel mind–body intervention program called “Mind–Body Bridging” (MBB) could be an effective short-term adjuvant intervention for managing SUM and coexisting symptoms in women undergoing residential and outpatient substance use treatment in a community setting. Thirty-eight women attending a local substance abuse (SA) …
Dynamic Reflexivity in Action
Dynamic reflexivity is central to enabling flexible and emergent qualitatively driven inductive mixed-method and multiple methods research designs. Yet too often, such reflexivity, and how it is used at various points of a study, is absent when we write our research reports. Instead, reports of mixed-method and multiple methods research focus on what was done rather than how it came to be done. This article seeks to redress this absence of emphas…
Sources of strength-training information and strength-training behavior among Japanese older adults
The promotion of strength training is now recognized as an important component of public health initiatives for older adults. To develop successful communication strategies to increase strength-training behavior among older adults, the identification of effective communication channels to reach older adults is necessary. This study aimed to identify the information sources about strength training that were associated with strength-training behavi…
La raison-cœur des co-suscitations paysagères
This paper aims to clarify the nature of fūkei (landscape) using the broader framework of Mahayana Buddhist thought. Fūkei, which bears the traces of places and bodies, can be considered a symbolic expression of their interconnection through engi (conditioned co-production). Signifying the space generated by engi, the concept of ma is used to explain different aspects of fūkei. In addition to the importance of circular sequential tours in a place…
Association of self-reported physical activity patterns and socio-demographic factors among normal-weight and overweight Japanese men
The results revealed that patterns and socio-demographic correlates of self-reported PA in overweight men are different from those in normal-weight men. This finding suggests the necessity of developing specific strategies for PA intervention among overweight men. Socio-demographic correlates of PA may be more important for normal-weight than overweight men
Impact of awareness of the Japanese Food Guide Spinning Top on eating behaviour
Objective To investigate whether awareness of the Japanese Food Guide (JFG) can promote changes in eating behaviour. Design A longitudinal study was conducted in 2007 and 2009 by means of an Internet-based survey. Awareness status of the JFG and a sixteen-item scale for calculating eating behaviour scores were obtained. Setting Japan. Subjects In total, 787 Japanese adults (20–59 years) who registered with an Internet research service organizatio…
Perceived Environmental Factors Associated with Physical Activity among Normal-Weight and Overweight Japanese Men
Although it is crucial to examine the environmental correlates of physical activity (PA) for developing more effective interventions for overweight populations, limited studies have investigated differences in the environmental correlates on body mass index (BMI). The purpose of the present study was to examine the perceived environmental correlates of PA among normal-weight and overweight Japanese men. Data were analyzed for 1,420 men (aged 44.4…
RW1-3 Using national statistical data in epidemiologic researches
Many of epidemiologic researches are based on individual health data, and epidemiologists get them for the researches directly from participants of the researches. This is the orthodox way to conduct an epidemiologic research, but some epidemiologists get individual information using national statistical data, such as vital statistics. For example, in a cohort study of which endpoints are death, it is easier and the validity is higher if an epide…
