    Abstract For human sensory processing, cluttered real-world environments where signals from multiple objects or events overlap are challenging. A cognitive function useful in such situations is an attentional selection of one signal from others based on the difference in bound feature. For instance, one can visually select a specific orientation if it is uniquely colored. However, here we show that unlike vision, touch is very poor at feature-based signal selection. We presented two-orthogonal line segments with different vibration textures to a fingertip. Though observers were markedly sensitive to each feature, they were generally unable to identify the orientation bound with a specific texture when the segments were presented simultaneously or in rapid alternation. A similar failure was observed for a direction judgment task. These results demonstrate a general cognitive limitation of touch, highlighting its unique bias to integrate multiple signals into a global event rather than segment them into separate events.

    Abstract The escape of pet birds into the wild raises concerns about the introduction of invasive avian species. This study investigated the impact of escaped pet birds on the introduction of non-native species in Japan. Data sourced from four lost-and-found pet websites between January 2018 and December 2021 revealed 12,125 recorded escapes exhibiting both daily occurrences and seasonal fluctuations. Statistical modeling identified the monthly average temperature (positively correlated) and maximum electricity demand (negatively correlated) as influential factors. Text analysis revealed "window" and "open" as frequently cited reasons for escapes. Budgerigars (

    Abstract Human decision behavior entails a graded awareness of its certainty, known as a feeling of confidence. Until now, considerable interest has been paid to behavioral and computational dissociations of decision and confidence, which has raised an urgent need for measurement frameworks that can quantify the efficiency of confidence rating relative to decision accuracy (metacognitive efficiency). As a unique addition to such frameworks, we have developed a new signal detection theory paradigm utilizing the generalized Gaussian distribution (GGSDT). This framework evaluates the observer's metacognitive efficiency and internal standard deviation ratio through shape and scale parameters, respectively. The shape parameter quantifies the kurtosis of internal distributions and can practically be understood in reference to the proportion of the Gaussian ideal observer's confidence being disrupted with random guessing (metacognitive lapse rate). This interpretation holds largely irrespective of the contaminating effects of decision accuracy or operating characteristic asymmetry. Thus, the GGSDT enables hitherto unexplored research protocols (e.g., direct comparison of yes/no vs. forced-choice metacognitive efficiency), expected to find applications in various fields of behavioral science. This article provides a detailed walkthrough of the GGSDT analysis with an accompanying R package (ggsdt). (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2024 APA, all rights reserved).

    Abstract The occurrence of multidrug-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii (MDRA) has increased rapidly and is associated with severe nosocomial infections. MDRA has emerged in the hospital setting and has evolved into extensively drug-resistant A. baumannii (XDRA). A clinical XDRA isolate obtained from a hospitalised patient in 2016 was evaluated for antibiotic susceptibility and whole-genome sequence. The XDRA isolate was resistant to β-lactams, including broad-spectrum cephalosporins and carbapenems, and to aminoglycosides, fosfomycin, fluoroquinolones, tetracyclines, tigecycline, and trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole. The isolate harboured abaF, ant(3″)-II-c, aph(3″)-Ib, aph(6)-Id, armA, bla

    Abstract Marine volcanoes, i.e., both above-surface- and submarine-volcanoes can be threat for human lives and social activities because of not only volcanic eruption itself but also they sometimes excite tsunamis. Long-term continuous monitoring is important to predict the eruptions, and therefore we attempt to measure the seafloor deformation near the volcanic island using an in-situ pressure sensor and some bench marks. The measurement period was to be five years and it is designed that the communication port is available to recover the measurement dataset whenever we access the pressure sensors during pressure calibration. The present target is Izu-Oshima Island, one of the Izu-Ogasawara (Bonin) volcanic chains, categorizing an active volcano. We calibrate the pressure sensor once a year and evaluate the deformation at the point of pressure sensor and the bench marks over time. To perform this concept, firstly we select a pressure sensor indicating small sensor drift based on the laboratory experiment pressurized by a pressure balance. Then, we have installed the pressure sensor at the seafloor near the island in 2021. The first in-situ pressure calibration was conducted in 2022 after one year of the first deployment of the pressure sensor. We recovered the dataset and confirmed the initial sensor drift. The second in-situ pressure calibration will be conducted in May of 2023 and it is not until that the sensor drift can be removed. In the presentation, we introduce the laboratory experiment and the in-situ pressure measurement during the first one-year observation.

    Abstract Rice production is seriously affected by saline-alkaline stress worldwide. To elucidate the saline-alkaline tolerance mechanisms in a novel tolerant rice variety, Shwe Nang Gyi (SNG), we investigated ion accumulation in SNG and Koshihikari (KSH), which is a saline-alkaline sensitive rice variety, and the candidates for saline-alkaline inducible genes in SNG using RNA-seq. SNG had superior ion accumulation capacity, such as K and Zn, compared to KSH. In contrast, SNG accumulated the same level of Na content in its leaf blades as KSH despite the higher dry weight of the SNG leaf blades. We further found that the expression of numerous genes, including several K

    Abstract Multidrug-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii (MDRAB) is an important pathogen that causes nosocomial infections and is resistant to almost all antibiotics, including carbapenems. Cefiderocol is a novel siderophore cephalosporin that is active against a broad spectrum of Gram-negative bacteria. However, the susceptibility of MDRAB from Japan to cefiderocol has not yet been reported. In this study, we measured the minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) of antibiotics, including cefiderocol, against MDRAB clinical isolates collected during a nosocomial outbreak from 2009 to 2010 at Teikyo University Hospital in Japan. We found that all 10 MDRAB clinical isolates tested were susceptible to cefiderocol, with an MIC range of 0.12 to 1 μg/mL, all isolates were resistant to ampicillin-sulbactam, nine of the 10 isolates were susceptible to tigecycline, and all 10 isolates had an intermediate phenotype to colistin. DNA sequencing revealed that all strains harbored an OXA-51-like carbapenemase, one of the major causes of carbapenem resistance in A. baumannii in Japan. In conclusion, this study showed that susceptibility to cefiderocol of MDRAB clinical isolates in Japan was equivalent to that of colistin or tigecycline. Cefiderocol could be a possible choice for the treatment of MDRAB infections.

    Abstract Osteosarcoma (OS) is one of the most prevalent primary bone tumors with a high degree of metastasis and poor prognosis. Epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) is a cellular mechanism that contributes to the invasion and metastasis of cancer cells, and OS cells have been reported to exhibit EMT-like characteristics. Our previous studies have shown that the interaction between tumor necrosis factor superfamily member 11 (TNFRSF11A; also known as RANK) and its ligand TNFSF11 (also known as RANKL) promotes the EMT process in breast cancer cells. However, whether the interaction between RANK and RANKL enhances aggressive behavior by inducing EMT in OS cells has not yet been elucidated. In this study, we showed that the interaction between RANK and RANKL increased the migration, invasion, and metastasis of OS cells by promoting EMT. Importantly, we clarified that the RANK/RANKL axis induces EMT by activating the nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-κB) pathway. Furthermore, the NF-κB inhibitor dimethyl fumarate (DMF) suppressed migration, invasion, and EMT in OS cells. Our results suggest that the RANK/RANKL axis may serve as a potential tumor marker and promising therapeutic target for OS metastasis. Furthermore, DMF may have clinical applications in the treatment of lung metastasis in patients with OS.

    Abstract Samples obtained from pet shops and a hobbyists aquaria in Japan have revealed a diverse non-marine ostracod fauna, consisting of 19 species, all contaminants of aquaria stocked with exotic fish, shrimps and/or aquatic plants. Of these, six are newly recorded for Japan, including two new species, belonging to the genera Pseudostrandesia and Tanycypris. Pseudostrandesia tenebrarum Smith & Ozawa, 2021, previously suspected to be an alien species in Japan, was again found in pet shops in this study. We also report living specimens of Potamocypris acuminata Fuhrmann & Goth, 2011, a species previously only known from Pleistocene deposits of Germany. The six new records for Japan reported herein are likely alien species as evidenced by previous records or congeneric species, with origins in East Asia, South East Asia, and the Americas. Thus, there are now seven ostracod species recognized as probable alien hitchhikers in the Japanese pet trade. This study highlights that the pet trade is a viable route for hitchhiking ostracod species to enter Japan, and such species have the potential to become invasive.
