臨時休校中のメディア接触増加要因 ―新型コロナ禍の中でのメディア接触実態調査の分析を通して―
Schools across Japan have been temporarily closed since March 2, 2020 in order to control the spread of the COVID-19 infection. Amid concerns about the prolonged use of the Internet and smartphones, we conducted a survey of media contact among parents of elementary school children in the midst of the epidemic. The purpose of this study is to pursue the factors that led to the increase in media contact among children. As a result, “spending time alone at home” increases media contact the most, but it also increases when children were with their parents or grandparents. There is no statistically significant relationship between the new device used and the increase or decrease in media contact. In addition, the factor that suppresses media contact is “physical activity in parks and other outdoor places.” It is suggested that even during special periods such as temporary school closures, media contact may be suppressed by performing non-media contact activities as usual

Integrative and theoretical research on the architecture of a biological system and its disorder.
An organism stems from assemblies of a variety of cells and proteins. This complex system serves as a unit, and it exhibits highly sophisticated functions in response to exogenous stimuli that change over time. The complete sequencing of the entire human genome has allowed researchers to address the enigmas of life and disease at the gene- or molecular-based level. The consequence of such studies is the rapid accumulation of a multitude of data at multiple levels, ranging from molecules to the whole body, that has necessitated the development of entirely new concepts, tools, and methodologies to analyze and integrate these data. This necessity has given birth to systems biology, an advanced theoretical and practical research framework that has totally changed the directions of not only basic life science but also medicine. During the symposium of the 95th Annual Meeting of The Physiological Society of Japan 2018, five researchers reported on their respective studies on systems biology. The topics included reactions of drugs, ion-transport architecture in an epithelial system, multi-omics in renal disease, cardiac electrophysiological systems, and a software platform for computer simulation. In this review article these authors have summarized recent achievements in the field and discuss next-generation studies on health and disease
