Epidemiological Study of Metastatic Brain Tumors in Miyazaki Prefecture: A Regional 10-year Survey in Southern Japan
No full textAdvances in cancer treatment have improved the survival of patients with cancer, with a concomitant increase in the proportion of patients with metastatic brain tumors (MBTs). In this study, we used cancer registries established in Japan after 2016 and available patient data by organ in order to conduct an accurate epidemiological study. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study to report on the detailed epidemiological data on MBT at the prefectural level in Japan using the Miyazaki Brain Tumor Database and Miyazaki Cancer Registry. This study included 425 new cases of MBTs diagnosed in Miyazaki Prefecture from 2007 to 2016. As per our findings, the most frequent primary tumor in Miyazaki Prefecture was found to be in the lung (49.4%), followed by colon/rectum/anus (9.4%) and breast (8.5%). Among patients with MBTs, 59.1% were males, a number closely similar to that of Japan, as shown in the Japanese Brain Tumor Registry (55.5%). The median age at diagnosis was 68 and 63 years in Miyazaki Prefecture and Japan, respectively. Although more patients were symptomatic in Miyazaki Prefecture than in Japan (88.5% vs. 15.5%), fewer patients opted for surgery (33.6% vs. 61.9%), probably because of their advanced age at diagnosis. As per the findings of this study, the annual incidence rate of new MBTs (i.e., ratio of the number of new cancer registrations to that of new MBT patients in Miyazaki Prefecture) was at 0.41%. The number of tumor sites in MBTs was independent of the total number of cancers per organ. Considering the expansion of cancer registries worldwide, including those on brain tumors, further epidemiological analysis of MBTs is deemed warranted.Citation:

Seroprevalence for severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome virus among the residents of Miyazaki, Japan: An epidemiological study
No full textIntroduction
Severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome (SFTS) is a tick-borne infectious disease caused by the SFTS virus (SFTSV). The Miyazaki Prefecture has the highest number of SFTS cases in Japan and requires countermeasures for prevention. In this study, we aimed to conduct an epidemiological survey in Miyazaki Prefecture to determine the exposure conditions of SFTSV by measuring the seroprevalence among residents of Miyazaki and to evaluate the factors that influence the endemicity of SFTS.
Methods
The survey was conducted between June 2014 and April 2019 in all 26 municipalities in Miyazaki Prefecture. SFTSV antibodies were detected using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay in the blood samples of 6013 residents (3184 men and 2829 women). A questionnaire-based survey of the living environment was also conducted.
Results
Multiple logistic regression analysis revealed that age and occupation were significant factors related to the proportion of participants with an optical density (OD) value > 0.2 and a seroprevalence of 0.9 % (54/6013). Seven seropositive individuals (0.1 %) with an OD value of >0.4 were identified (three men and four women, aged 54–69 years), and all were asymptomatic. One participant had a higher OD than the positive control.
Conclusion
Although SFTS is endemic in Miyazaki Prefecture, Japan, its seroprevalence is relatively low. Since some risk areas in Miyazaki prefecture have been identified, it is important to enhance awareness of SFTS in residences and reduce contact with ticks, especially in high-risk areas.Citation:

TRASFORMAZIONI DI FORME, CIRCOLAZIONE DI FORZE IN MONONOKE-HIME DI MIYAZAKI HAYAO
No full textOltre il successo, il culto affezionato, l'industria cinematografica e gli studi critici, le opere di Miyazaki Hayao continuano a volare lievi e dirette verso gli spettatori, colpendo con delicatezza le loro profondità psichiche e facendo risuonare senza timore le grandi domande esistenziali che attraversano nei tempi e negli spazi l'intera umanità. Dai film del regista giapponese si sprigiona una grazia selvatica e innervata di vita, dove l'animazione fiorisce col gusto spontaneo dell'infanzia e il meditato sguardo del saggio. I territori della violenza e della morte, della tecnologia e dell'ambiente, della quotidianità e della trascendenza, del destino, della creatività e dell'amore, sono percorsi da Miyazaki in un equilibrio, fra abisso e semplicità, da funambolo

Miyazaki Vermin Repulsion Robot and Its Adjustable Acousto-Optic Stimulus Generation Scheme
No full textOne of the most pressing issues in livestock farming is the protection of economically valuable livestock. The prevention and the treatment of infectious diseases are directly related to maintaining stable livestock output. Vermin is a primary source of livestock infection, resulting in the occurrence and expansion of epidemic diseases. To protect livestock against infections caused by epidemic diseases, this study proposes a vermin repulsion system called the Miyazaki Vermin Repulsion Robot (MiVeReR). Different from existing vermin repulsion systems, the development objective of MiVeReR is to repel vermin rather than kill them. In particular, MiVeReR generates changeable acousto-optic signals as repulsion signals for wild animals. Furthermore, MiVeReR employs image data to monitor the invasion of wild animals and their location data to track them, and accurately focuses the generated signals on them. These acousto-optic stimuli can be changed based on the reactions of the intruder through the feedback of the image data to ensure the effectiveness of the repulsion motions for vermin. Details on the hardware configuration of MiVeReR and its control scheme are explained. As a first step to develop MiVeReR, we attempted to repel vermin such as mice and wild cats from farm environments. Extensive experiments were conducted to verify the effectiveness of MiVeReR and the proposed control solution. Through experiments in wild environments, the feasibility of MiVeReR was inspected. The results of this study are concretely described.Citation: Lee, G.; Yamane, T.; Koga, T.; Kuga, T. Miyazaki Vermin Repulsion Robot and Its Adjustable Acousto-Optic Stimulus Generation Scheme. Appl.
