    Abstract Offshore wind power (OWP) is a promising way to achieve decarbonization and tackle global climate change, but acceptance by residents is an important issue for site location. Information provision could be a more cost-effective intervention than debates or subsidies, assuming that scientifically correct information alone is insufficient and information design to boost the message effects considering realistic human responses is necessary. Thus, we designed nudging messages to increase acceptance of OWP, using a message framework to moderate risk-averse attitudes by reminding readers of familial support based on insights from kin selection theory from evolutionary psychology. A randomized controlled trial based on an internet survey of more than 4000 responses from the general public was performed to investigate the message effects. The messages significantly moderated the risk-averse attitudes toward OWP by 0.228 on average on a five-point Likert scale, which meant that about 5 people out of 100 changed their attitudes to be safer by 1 point. This suggests that disseminating flyers using nudging messages might be an effective way to increase acceptance. We also extracted responses from those who mentioned fisheries in an open-ended question as an alternative to actual fishers. Responses from this segment were more complex and the message effects were limited compared with those who did not mention fisheries; although the attitudes toward OWP before receiving the messages were safer, reading descriptions for potential risks on fisheries may have unexpectedly led them to focus on the risks of which they were unaware at first. Because information provision based on nudging is effective but just one of a wide variety of political interventions available, practitioners should consider a combination of multiple options instead of using only nudging messages.

    Abstract Background: Left ventricular thrombus (LVT) formation is a serious complication of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) requiring complicated management strategies and collaboration among cardiologists, cardiovascular surgeons, and neurosurgeons.
    Case summary: We present the case of an 83-year-old female patient with AMI. Emergency coronary angiography revealed subtotal occlusion of the proximal left anterior descending artery, and the patient was successfully treated with a drug-eluting stent. The following day, she suddenly developed loss of consciousness, global aphasia, and right hemiplegia. Brain magnetic resonance imaging revealed acute ischaemic cerebral infarction caused by multiple mobile LVT, as demonstrated by echocardiography. After a heart-brain team discussion, we decided to perform percutaneous mechanical thrombectomy. Successful recanalization was achieved with mechanical thrombectomy 2 h after presentation, which resulted in significant neurological recovery. Immediately after the thrombectomy, she was transferred to a cardiovascular surgery centre for surgical removal of multiple LV apical thrombi. Two weeks after the operation, the patient was discharged with the recovery of LV systolic function.
    Discussion: Although AMI complicated by acute stroke caused by LVT remains a clinical challenge, a multidisciplinary approach is critically important for optimal care. Based on an urgent team discussion, we decided to perform endovascular thrombectomy for ischaemic stroke, followed by surgical removal of the LVT, requiring patient transportation to the cardiovascular surgery centre. Given that the heart and brain team-based approach remains confined to large, specialized centres, it might be beneficial to establish a community-based integrated heart-brain team that can address the growing needs of complex patients.

    Abstract In the boreal forests, feather mosses such as Hylocomium splendens and Pleurozium schreberi are colonized by cyanobacteria, which provide large amounts of nitrogen to forest ecosystems through nitrogen fixation. Although these feather mosses are also ubiquitous in subalpine forests of East Asia, little is known regarding their associated cyanobacteria and their ability to fix nitrogen. In this study, we investigated (1) whether cyanobacteria co-exist and fix nitrogen in the two species of feather mosses that cover the ground surface in a subalpine forest of Mt. Fuji, (2) whether cyanobacteria belonging to a common cluster with boreal forests are found in feather mosses in Mt. Fuji, and (3) whether moss-associated nitrogen fixation rates differed among moss growing substrates, canopy openness, and moss nitrogen concentrations in the same forest area. Our results showed that cyanobacteria colonized feather mosses in the subalpine forests of Mt. Fuji and acetylene reduction rates as an index of nitrogen fixation tended to be higher in H. splendens than in P. schreberi. Based on analysis of the nifH gene, 43 bacterial operational taxonomic units (OTUs) were identified, 28 of which represented cyanobacteria. Among the five clusters of cyanobacteria classified based on their nifH gene and identified in northern Europe, four (Nostoc cluster I, Nostoc cluster II, Stigonema cluster, and nifH2 cluster) were also found at Mt. Fuji. The acetylene reduction rate differed depending on the moss growing substrate and the total nitrogen concentration of moss shoots, and a strong negative correlation was observed with the total nitrogen concentration.

    Abstract Members of the genus Emaravirus are plant viruses transmitted by eriophyoid mites. The emaravirus genome consists of multiple, negative-sense, single-stranded RNA segments, that have been shown to be highly divergent. Recent studies have revealed that emaraviruses are associated with long-recognized diseases of world important crops such as fig mosaic disease or sterility mosaic disease of pigeon pea. Furthermore, along with the popularization of deep sequencing technologies, new putative members of emaraviruses have been reported year by year. This paper presents an overview of agricultural damages caused by emaraviruses worldwide and characteristics of their genomic RNAs and proteins. In addition, our research project to prevent a disease of a herb crop (shiso, Perilla frutescens) caused by Perilla mosaic virus, a putative emaravirus recently identified in Japan, is outlined.

    Abstract The formation of molecular and fragment ions observed in the field ionization mass spectrum of methyl stearate has been analyzed on the basis of quantum chemical calculations including time-dependent density functional theory (TDDFT) and natural bond orbital (NBO) analysis. The TDDFT calculations suggest that methyl stearate is ionized via two processes, namely a 7.43 eV excitation and a tunneling effect, while the high electric field of 10
