Abstract	Although some private companies have implemented "time-based" workplace smoking bans covering all working hours including lunchtime, little is known about their impact on tobacco use. We examined associations between workplace smoking bans during working hours (including and excluding lunchtime) versus no ban and workers' combustible cigarette and heated tobacco product (HTP) use. We used data from the Japan "Society and New Tobacco" Internet Survey 2020 and in total 4,222 workers aged 20-74 were included in the analyses. Using inverse probability weighting, prevalence ratios (PRs) and 95% confidence interval (CI) for tobacco use were calculated according to "time-based" smoke-free policies: workplace smoking bans for working hours including lunchtime (lunchtime ban), workplace smoking ban for working hours excluding lunchtime (lunchtime allowed), and no ban for working hours (no ban). The PRs of "lunchtime ban" for workers' use of combustible cigarettes and HTPs were lower than "no ban": 0.43 (CI: 0.29, 0.63) for combustible cigarette use and 0.61 (CI: 0.41, 0.90) for HTPs use. Meanwhile, the PRs for "lunchtime allowed" was not significant: 0.84 (CI: 0.70, 1.01) for combustible cigarettes use and 1.15 (CI: 0.94, 1.40) for HTPs use. Workplace bans on smoking during working hours which include lunchtime may successfully reduce workers' combustible cigarette and HTP use, but allowing their use during lunchtime may reduce the effectiveness of the ban. Not only conventional "place-based" smoke-free policies, but also "time-based" smoke-free policies are useful for tobacco control in the workplace.

Abstract	"Clothes with horizontal (or vertical) stripes are perceived as wider and shorter (slimmer and taller)." This belief is common yet inconsistent with the Helmholtz illusion. It has often attracted attention from researchers of perception. Despite the controversy among empirical studies, it is persistently supported by the general public. This article explores the early appearance of this common belief in Japan in historical records. Consequently, we discovered the descriptions of the common belief in a Japanese beauty handbook titled "

Article: Occlusion of faces by sanitary masks improves facial attractiveness of other races.

Abstract	Recent studies provide mixed results regarding whether the perception of facial attractiveness is increased or decreased by partial occlusion with a sanitary mask. One set of studies demonstrated that occluding the bottom half of a face increased facial attractiveness. This effect is thought to occur because the occluded area is interpolated by an average facial representation that is perceived as attractive. However, several groups of studies showed that partial occlusion can increase or decrease perceived attractiveness depending on the attractiveness of the original (unoccluded) face, due to regression to the mean. To reconcile this inconsistency, we propose that the occluded area is interpolated not by an average facial representation, but by a template of moderate attractiveness, shaped by the distribution of each viewer's experience. This hypothesis predicts an interaction between occlusion and the attractiveness of the original face so that occluded attractive faces are rated as less attractive, while occluded unattractive faces are rated as more attractive. To examine this hypothesis, the present study used attractiveness-rating tasks with mask-free versus masked faces in own-race and other-races categories. Viewers were familiar with own-race faces and unfamiliar with other-races faces. If moderate-attractiveness interpolation were the explanatory factor, the interaction between the occlusion and the attractiveness of the original face should be found only in the rating of own-race faces. Consistent with this hypothesis, the interaction between the occlusion and the attractiveness of the original faces was significant only for the own-race faces. Specifically, wearing a sanitary mask decreased the facial attractiveness of attractive faces in the own-race, while it increased the attractiveness regardless of the level of facial attractiveness in other-races. These findings suggest that the occluded area of own-race faces is interpolated by a facial template of moderate attractiveness. The other-races template could be developed using familiar exemplars such as celebrities. Thus, interpolation by such a template should result in elevated attractiveness relative to that by an own-race template. Accordingly, the apparent inconsistency in the literature regarding the effect of partial occlusion on physical attractiveness can be explained in terms of differences in the template involving interpolation of the occluded area.

Abstract	Video monitoring modifies the task performance of those who are being monitored. The current study aims to prevent rare target-detection failures during visual search through the use of video monitoring. Targets are sometimes missed when their prevalence during visual search is extremely low (e.g., in airport baggage screenings). Participants performed a visual search in which they were required to discern the presence of a tool in the midst of other objects. The participants were monitored via video cameras as they performed the task in one session (the videotaped condition), and they performed the same task in another session without being monitored (the non-videotaped condition). The results showed that fewer miss errors occurred in the videotaped condition, regardless of target prevalence. It appears that the decrease in misses in the video monitoring condition resulted from a shift in criterion location. Video monitoring is considered useful in inducing accurate scanning. It is possible that the potential for evaluation involved in being observed motivates the participants to perform well and is related to the shift in criterion.

Abstract	Precision angular sensing is an essential technology in physical experiments. Unlike length sensing with a laser beam, it has been thought that sensitivity to the angular motion cannot be enhanced with the help of an optical cavity. A method of angular signal amplification using an optical cavity, called the cavity-amplified angular sensor (CAAS), is proposed. By adjusting or compensating for the Gouy phase of the cavity, the electric field of the laser generated in proportion to the target rotation is coherently stacked in the proposed method. The advantage of this method over other angular sensors is its high sensitivity with the small sensing spot size. Three possible optical configurations are considered, of which two experimentally available ones are investigated. The angular signal amplification is demonstrated for both of them. Based on the theoretical calculation for a realistic model, the fundamental angular sensing noise level is expected to be as low as 10

Abstract	In daily life, huge costs can arise from just one incorrect performance on a visual search task (e.g., a fatal accident due to a driver overlooking a pedestrian). One potential way to prevent such drastic accidents would be for people to modify their decision criterion (e.g., placing a greater priority on accuracy rather than speed) during a visual search. The aim of the present study was to manipulate the criterion by creating an awareness of being watched by another person. During a visual search task, study participants were watched (or not watched) via video cameras and monitors. The results showed that, when they believed they were being watched by another person, they searched more slowly and accurately, as measured by reaction times and hit/miss rates. These findings also were obtained when participants were videotaped and they believed their recorded behavior would be watched by another person in the future. The study primarily demonstrated the role of being watched by another on the modulation of the decision criterion for responding during visual searches.

Abstract	Objectives: In addition to electronic cigarettes (e-cigarettes), tobacco companies have recently begun to sell heat-not-burn tobacco products, Ploom and iQOS in Japan. Previous research has reported an inverse association between combustible cigarette smoking and educational attainment, but little is known about the association for e-cigarettes, especially heat-not-burn tobacco products. Our objective was to analyze the relationship between educational attainment and e-cigarette and heat-not-burn tobacco use. Setting: An internet survey (randomly sampled research agency panelists) in Japan. Participants: A total of 7338 respondents aged 18-69 years in 2015 (3632 men and 3706women). Primary measures: Adjusted odds ratios (ORs) of educational attainment for current smoking (combustible cigarettes), e-cigarette ever-use, and heat-not-burn ever-use were calculated by multivariable logistic regression models using covariates including socio-demographic factors. Stratified analyses according to smoking status (combustible cigarettes) were additionally performed for e-cigarette ever-use and heat-not-burn tobacco product ever-use. Results: Associations between educational attainment and e-cigarette ever-use or heat-not-burn tobacco ever-use are not straightforward, although these associations are not statistically significant except for one cell. For example, using "graduate school" education as a reference category, adjusted ORs for "high school" were 1.44 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.85-2.44) for e-cigarettes ever-use and 0.75 (95% CI:0.19-2.97) for heat-not-burn tobacco product ever-use. Among current smokers, compared with "graduate school" (reference), those with lower educational attainment showed 0.6 to 0.7 ORs for e-cigarette ever-use: e.g.,"4-year university"(OR = 0.54, 95% CI:0.24-1.24) and "high school" (OR = 0.69, 95% CI: 0.30-1.60). Among former smokers, lower education indicated higher ORs for both e-cigarettes and heat-not-burn tobacco ever-use. Conclusions: This study provides baseline information on educational gradients of e-cigarette and heat-not-burn tobacco products, ever-use. As heat-not-burn tobacco products are increasing their market share in Japan, continuous monitoring of these products will be necessary.

Abstract	This study tests the influence of wearing a protective face mask on the perceived attractiveness of the wearer. Participants who identified as White, and who varied in their ideological stance toward mask wearing, rated the attractiveness of facial photographs. The photos varied in baseline attractiveness (low, medium, and high), race (White and Asian), and whether or not the face was wearing a protective mask. Attitudes regarding protective masks were measured after the rating task using a survey to identify participants as either pro- or anti-mask. The results showed that masked individuals of the same race were generally rated as more attractive than unmasked individuals, but that masked individuals of another race were rated as less attractive than unmasked individuals. Moreover, pro-mask participants rated masked individuals as generally more attractive than unmasked individuals, whereas anti-maskers rated masked individuals as less attractive. A control experiment, replicating the procedure but replacing the protective masks with a partially occluding notebook, showed that these effects were mask-specific. These results demonstrate that perceived attractiveness is affected by characteristics of the viewer (attitudes toward protective masks), their relationship to the target (same or different race), and by circumstances external to both (pandemic).

Abstract	Wearing face masks in public has become the norm in many countries post-2020. Although mask-wearing is effective in controlling infection, it has the negative side effect of occluding the mask wearer's facial expressions. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of wearing transparent masks on the perception of facial expressions. Participants were required to categorize the perceived facial emotion of female (Experiment 1) and male (Experiment 2) faces with different facial expressions and to rate the perceived emotion intensity of the faces. Based on the group, the participants were assigned to, the faces were presented with a surgical mask, a transparent mask, or without a mask. The results showed that wearing a surgical mask impaired the performance of reading facial expressions, both with respect to recognition and perceived intensity of facial emotions. Specifically, the impairments were robustly observed in fear and happy faces for emotion recognition, and in happy faces for perceived intensity of emotion in Experiments 1 and 2. However, the impairments were moderated by wearing a transparent mask instead of a surgical mask. During the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, the transparent mask can be used in a range of situations where face-to-face communication is important.
