    Abstract It is fundamental for analytical psychology to understand images symbolically. However, Jung was aware of the non-symbolic and direct appearance of image in synchronistic visions and dreams. Therefore, there are two aspects of the non-symbolic: literal and synchronistic. Firstly, the pathology of the non-symbolic was explored in psychosomatic syndromes, trauma, borderline syndromes and autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Then the historical and cultural considerations show that dreams were shared and understood directly and non-symbolically in Japanese medieval times. Historically, the symbolic aspect emerged through the loss of this directness and is characteristic for the modern, western, and adult consciousness. However, the increasing prevalence of ASD and ambiguity between reality and virtual reality show that the contemporary world is again dominated by directness and the non-symbolic, which can be called 'postmodern consciousness'.

    Abstract When agricultural automation systems are required to send cultivation field images to the cloud for field monitoring, pay-as-you-go mobile communication leads to high operation costs. To minimize cost, one can exploit a characteristic of cultivation field images wherein the landscape does not change considerably besides the appearance of the plants. Therefore, this paper presents a method that transmits only the difference data between the past and current images to minimize the amount of transmitted data. This method is easy to implement because the difference data are generated using an existing video encoder. Further, the difference data are generated based on an image at a specific time instead of the images at adjacent times, and thus the subsequent images can be reproduced even if the previous difference data are lost because of unstable mobile communication. A prototype of the proposed method was implemented with a MPEG-4 Visual video encoder. The amount of transmitted and received data on the medium access control layer was decreased to approximately 1/4 of that when using the secure copy protocol. The transmission time for one image was 5.6 s; thus, the proposed method achieved a reasonable processing time and a reduction of transmitted data.

    Abstract Recently, single cell analysis is becoming more and more important to elucidate cellular heterogeneity. Except for nucleic acid that can be amplified by PCR, the required technical level for single cell analysis is extremely high and the appropriate design of sample preparation and a sensitive analytical system is necessary. Capillary/microchip electrophoresis (CE/MCE) can separate biomolecules in nL-scale solution with high resolution, and it is highly compatible with trace samples like a single cell. Coupled with highly sensitive detectors such as laser-induced fluorescence and nano-electrospray ionization-mass spectrometry, zmol level analytes can be detected. For further enhancing sensitivity, online sample preconcentration techniques can be employed. By integrating these high-sensitive techniques, single cell analysis of metabolites, proteins, and lipids have been achieved. This review paper highlights successful research on CE/MCE-based trace bioanalysis in recent 10 years. Firstly, an overview of basic knowledge on CE/MCE including sensitivity enhancement techniques is provided. Applications to trace bioanalysis are then introduced with discussion on current issues and future prospects.

    Abstract In-house fabrication of three-dimensional (3D) models for medical use has become easier in recent years. Cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) images are increasingly used as source data for fabricating osseous 3D models. The creation of a 3D CAD model begins with the segmentation of hard and soft tissues of the DICOM images and the creation of an STL model; however, it can be difficult to determine the binarization threshold in CBCT images. In this study, how the different CBCT scanning and imaging conditions of two different CBCT scanners affect the determination of the binarization threshold was evaluated. The key to efficient STL creation through voxel intensity distribution analysis was then explored. It was found that determination of the binarization threshold is easy for image datasets with a large number of voxels, sharp peak shapes, and narrow intensity distributions. Although the intensity distribution of voxels varied greatly among the image datasets, it was difficult to find correlations between different X-ray tube currents or image reconstruction filters that explained the differences. The objective observation of voxel intensity distribution may contribute to the determination of the binarization threshold for 3D model creation.

    Abstract Background: As Japan faces super-aging of the population and a declining birthrate, the shortage of caregivers for older people who require support in the country and a decrease in their quality of life, have become prominent issues. The Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare recommends mutual aid among local residents in providing such support.
    Aims: To qualitatively analyse issues at hand with a focus on individual visits by welfare commissioners as part of the support to promote early detection and prevention of houseboundness in older people through mutual aid among residents.
    Methods: Semi-structured interviews with welfare commissioners in two cities were conducted and and analysed.
    Findings: Among issues faced during individual visits by welfare commissioners, six categories were identified as problems.
    Conclusion: Welfare commissioners conduct individual visits to provide psychological support for older people who are housebound, including those who refuse to participate in group settings. Our findings highlight the need to revive the community structure that previously existed in Japan, in which residents of all ages are acquainted with each other, and to assist in efforts to support older people through mutual aid among residents.
