To investigate the association between short sleep duration and elevated body mass index (BMI) obesity in a large sample of Japanese adults over period.Prospective design with baseline 2006 1-year follow-up.Workplaces an electric power company Japan.35,247 employees (31,477 men, 3,770 women) distributed throughout Japan.Measured weight height self-reported were obtained at annual health checkup 2007. Weight change was defined as difference 1 year later. Relative to reference category (sleep...
Aim and Background Recent research has suggested that the reasons why nurses work overtime hours exert differential effects on overall impact of work. This study aimed to clarify overtime, whether well-being differed by reason, at both ward individual level. Methods Participants were 1,075 permanent from 54 wards. Overtime reasons' distribution examined a multilevel structural equation modelling approach. Results Nurses typically worked due pressure conform, high workload enhance...
Effort‐Reward Imbalance and Depression in Japanese Medical Residents: Yumi S akata , et al . Department of Occupational Mental Health, Graduate School Sciences, Kitasato University —The effort‐reward imbalance is an important psychosocial factor which related to poor health among employees. However, there are few studies that have evaluated medical residents. The present study was done determine the association between factors at work as defined by model depression We distributed a...
To investigate the effects of sleep hygiene education for workers an information technology (IT) company, we conducted a controlled clinical trial providing 581 one-hour education. The contents program were review habits, provide education, and establishment habit goals. A self-report questionnaire was used to measure outcomes including Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), Karolinska Sleepiness Scale (KSS), Checklist Individual Strength (CIS), Center Epidemiologic Studies Depression...
Organizational justice has recently attracted attention as a predictor of employee mental and physical health. However, the lack Japanese translation original English-language organizational scale (OJS) precluded its application in Japan. The present study aimed to develop version measure justice. We translated questionnaire, which is comprised 20 items, from English Japanese. OJS made up four distinct dimensions: procedural, distributive, interpersonal information A total 229 employees...
Abstract Aims To clarify the subgroups of overtime work motivations and to determine how fatigue, mental status, engagement differ among subgroups. Design Cross‐sectional. Methods Questionnaires were distributed 1,075 full‐time nurses working in four hospitals Japan from October 2015 ‐ February 2016. Nurses categorized into motivation by latent class analysis. An analysis covariance was conducted examine Results/Findings We identified five types workers differing greatly engagement....
Aim Balanced function of the orofacial muscles is important for normal occlusion and dentition; however, patients with malocclusion often present myofunctional disorder (MFD). Myofunctional therapy (MFT) has received much attention as a method reducing MFD. Moreover, prefabricated functional appliances (PFAs) have been developed to eliminate abnormal muscle pressure guide tongue into correct position. However, PFAs disadvantages, such poor intraoral retention, limited usage time due...
Background Medical-error analyses have been conducted to determine the root cause of adverse events and near misses. More precise determination cause-and-effect relationship likely will require a prospective design path analysis including both direct indirect effects. Methods The authors performed 6-month cohort study using structural-equation modelling (SEM). Of 879 nurses approached, 789 (89.8%) were included in final analysis. Potential predictors provided for age, years nursing...
A total of 146 married inhabitants (67 men and 79 women) in a provincial city Japan were interviewed to examine marital adjustment its psychosocial determinants. Fifteen items the Short Marital Adjustment Test (Locke & Wallace, 1959) (LWT), self-rating questionnaire, transformed into semi-structured interview together with two new items. Factor analysis yielded five factors which interpreted as dyadic consensus, satisfaction, flexibility, home-loving, interest-sharing. Better women was...
In recent years, introducing virtual control groups (VCGs) into toxicology studies is increasingly discussed because of the 3Rs and non-human primate (NHP) supply issues. Evaluating study results using historical data not new; however, a VCG means replacing concurrent group in with VCG, thereby reducing number animals used by approximately 30%. While it may be possible to conduct developmental compound which replaced scientific appropriateness its regulatory acceptability needs considered....
Health-related quality of life (HRQL) is an important measure health outcome in working and healthy populations. Here, we investigated the impact effort-reward imbalance (ERI), a representative work-stress model, on HRQL Japanese men. The study targeted 1,096 employees from manufacturing plant Japan. To assess ERI, participants were surveyed using version Short-Form 8 Health Survey (SF-8) model. Of employees, 1,057 provided valid responses to questionnaire. For physical summary scores,...
The use of multiple power supplies with different output voltages has a great advantage in that it makes possible to realize high performance ULSIs low dissipation. This paper presents high-speed low-power SRAM employs three (1, 2, and 3.3 V). A 1-V supply is mainly used the core save standby and/or active power, while 2-V critical components performance. voltage applicable each MOSFET up 2.2 V because 5-nm ultrathin gate oxide, so 3.3-V only for LV-TTL level I/O buffers. Secure write...
This study of Japanese dual-earner couples examined the impact family and job demands on one's own partner's fatigue as well gender differences in these effects.A total 2,502 parents (1,251 couples) were surveyed using a self-administered questionnaire. A crossover model was tested structural equation modeling.The results modeling analyses showed that both independently exacerbated fatigue. There an indirect effect partner through only from husbands to wives. An identified wives husbands....
Abstract Objectives This study examined the effectiveness of a newly developed work–family life support program on interface and mental health indicators among Japanese dual-earner couples with preschool child(/ren) using randomized controlled trial waitlist. Methods Participants who met inclusion criteria were randomly allocated to intervention or control groups (n = 79 n 85, respectively). The comprised two 3-h sessions 1-month interval between them provided comprehensive skills by...
We aimed to compare longitudinal brain atrophy in patients with neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD) healthy controls (HCs). The rate anti-aquaporin-4 antibody-positive NMOSD (AQP4 + NMOSD) was compared age-sex-matched HCs recruited from the Japanese Alzheimer's Disease Neuroimaging Initiative study and another performed at Chiba University. Twenty-nine AQP4 29 were enrolled study. time between magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans longer group (median; 3.2 vs. 2.9 years, P =...
This paper presents a high-speed and low-power SRAM for portable equipment, which is operated by single battery cell of around 1 V. Its memory cells are made up high-threshold-voltage (high-V/sub th/) MOSFETs in order to suppress the power dissipation due large subthreshold leakage currents. For designing peripheral circuitry, we use SRAM's special feature that input signals each logic gate during standby time can be predicted. Low-V/sub th/ assigned critical paths memory-cell access. The...
In this study, we investigated six types of mood state (tension-anxiety, depression-dejection, anger-hostility, vigor, fatigue, and confusion) using the Profile Mood States (POMS) with 40 Japanese university students. We examined five main quality life (QOL) domains (physical health, psychological social relationships, environmental health) World Health Organization Quality Life Scale (WHOQOL-26). also total scale score. Spearman’s rank correlations between POMS QOL scores compared male...
A sample of 67 married Japanese men and 79 women, ranging in age from 25 through 85 years, were interviewed to clarify the relationship between marital adjustment social adjustment. For whole sample, total score Short Marital Adjustment Test (SMAT; Locke & Wallace, 1959) its subcategories, dyadic consensus satisfaction, was significantly correlated with 5 subcategory scores Social Scale-II (SAS-II; Weissman, 1978): household (except spouse), external family adjustment, work leisure general...
