Current situation and its countermeasures against shoplifting via eco‐bags : A survey of part‐time store clerks
No full text本研究ではパート・アルバイト店員を対象として、レジ袋有料化以降のエコバッグを用いた万引きの現状と対策について検討することを目的とした。パート・アルバイト店員248名に対して、レジ袋有料化以降の万引きの現状と対策、防犯意識、ホスピタリティ、防犯対策を尋ねた。分析の結果、パート・アルバイト店員はレジ袋有料化以降、エコバッグの使用が増加したと考えており、エコバッグ不正使用への声かけを実施しておらず、声かけが困難であると感じていることが明らかとなった。また、店員はエコバッグによる万引き対策未着手群、エコバッグによる万引き対策着手群、エコバッグによる万引き対策無関心群に分類され、群によって防犯意識、ホスピタリティ、防犯対策が異なり、関連の仕方が異なっていた。以上の結果を踏まえ、レジ袋有料化以降のエコバッグを用いた万引き対策の方向性が論じられた。departmental bulletin pape

Income change one year after confirmed cancer diagnosis and its associated factors in Japanese patients
No full text香川大学Kagawa University博士（医学）The number of patients who survive for a long time after cancer diagnosis is rapidly increasing; however, such patients experience major problems such as returning to work and changes in their income. This study aimed to determine the extent of income changes of cancer patients during the first year after cancer diagnosis and identify the influencing factors. From November 2019 through January 2020, we conducted a multicenter, self-administered anonymous survey of cancer patients in Kagawa Prefecture, Japan. The number of questionnaires collected was 483 (recovery rate 60.4%), and the number of participants who met the inclusion criteria was 72. Mean year-on-year income level one year since cancer diagnosis was 66% (SD: 32%; median: 70%). Cancer stage (p = 0.016), employment status at diagnosis (p = 0.006), and continued employment at the same workplace (p = 0.001) were associated with income change. Findings from this study showed that cancer patients lost one-thirds of their income one year after their diagnosis. It was related to the stage of their illness, employment status, and continued employment at their workplace just before the diagnosis. Employers should provide cancer patients with the support they need to keep them employed.doctoral thesi
Genetic and histopathological analysis of spermatogenesis after short-term testicular torsion in rats
Get PDF香川大学Kagawa University博士（医学）Background: Patients with testicular torsion (TT) may exhibit impaired spermatogenesis from reperfusion injury after detorsion surgery. Alteration in the expressions of spermatogenesis-related genes induced by TT have not been fully elucidated.Methods: Eight-week-old Sprague-Dawley rats were grouped as follows: group 1 (sham-operated), group 2 (TT without reperfusion) and group 3 (TT with reperfusion). TT was induced by rotating the left testis 720° for 1 h. Testicular reperfusion proceeded for 24 h. Histopathological examination, oxidative stress biomarker measurements, RNA sequencing and RT-PCR were performed.Results: Testicular ischemia/reperfusion injury induced marked histopathological changes. Germ cell apoptosis was significantly increased in group 3 compared with group 1 and 2 (mean apoptotic index: 26.22 vs. 0.64 and 0.56; p = 0.024, and p = 0.024, respectively). Johnsen score in group 3 was smaller than that in group 1 and 2 (mean: 8.81 vs 9.45 and 9.47 points/tubule; p = 0.001, p < 0.001, respectively). Testicular ischemia/reperfusion injury significantly upregulated the expression of genes associated with apoptosis and antioxidant enzymes and significantly downregulated the expression of genes associated with spermatogenesisConclusion: One hour of TT followed by reperfusion injury caused histopathological testicular damage. The relatively high Johnsen score indicated spermatogenesis was maintained. Genes associated with spermatogenesis were downregulated in the TT rat model.mpact: How ischemia/reperfusion injury in testicular torsion (TT) affects the expressions of genes associated with spermatogenesis has not been fully elucidated. This is the first study to report comprehensive gene expression profiles using next generation sequencing for an animal model of TT. Our results revealed that ischemia/reperfusion injury downregulated the expression of genes associated with spermatogenesis and sperm function in addition to histopathological damage, even though the duration of ischemia was short.doctoral thesi
