Japanese general social survey: beginning and development
Der Beitrag stellt den Japanese General Social Survey (JGSS), der seit 2000 jährlich erhoben wird, in seinen Grundzügen und seiner Entwicklung vor. Dabei gliedern sich die Ausführungen in die folgenden Aspekte: (1) Beginn des JGSS-Projektes, (2) Vorstellung des Projekt-Teams, (3) Umfrage-Fahrplan bis 2008, (4) Datennutzung, (5) Inhalte der JGSS-Fragebögen und Form der Datenerhebung von 2000 bis 2003 sowie (6) weitere Entwicklung und Vorgehensweise des JGSS-Projektes.

Japanese general social surveys (2): methodological experiments in administering the questionnaire, incentives, scales and wording
Mit dem Japanese General Social Survey (JGSS) wird in Japan erstmals versucht, in regelmäßigen Abständen eine landsweite Umfrage durchzuführen und deren Ergebnisse Sozialwissenschaftlern in Japan und in Übersee zu Zwecken der Sekundäranalyse zur Verfügung zu stellen. Das Projekt wird gemeinsam vom Institut für Regionalforschung der Handelshochschule Osaka und dem Institut für Sozialwissenschaften der Universität Tokio durchgeführt. Die Verfasserin beschreibt methodologische Arbeiten, die im Vorfeld der ersten landesweiten Erhebung (JGSS-2000) durchgeführt wurden. Im Mittelpunkt stehen vier Fragenkomplexe: (1) Kombination von Interview und Befragung; (2) zeitliche Dauer des Interviews und Zeitaufwand für das Ausfüllen des Fragebogens; (3) Antwortverhalten, Verweigerung und Anreize; (4) Item-Formulierung und Skalierung.

A de novo dominant-negative variant is associated with OTULIN-related autoinflammatory syndrome
稀少遺伝性自己炎症性疾患: OTULIN関連自己炎症症候群の新たな病態を解明~既報の疾患に新たな視点を追加し、未診断患者の診断や炎症・細胞死研究の進展に期待~. 京都大学プレスリリース. 2024-04-25.OTULIN-related autoinflammatory syndrome (ORAS), a severe autoinflammatory disease, is caused by biallelic pathogenic variants of OTULIN, a linear ubiquitin-specific deubiquitinating enzyme. Loss of OTULIN attenuates linear ubiquitination by inhibiting the linear ubiquitin chain assembly complex (LUBAC). Here, we report a patient who harbors two rare heterozygous variants of OTULIN (p.P152L and p.R306Q). We demonstrated accumulation of linear ubiquitin chains upon TNF stimulation and augmented TNF-induced cell death in mesenchymal stem cells differentiated from patient-derived iPS cells, which confirms that the patient has ORAS. However, although the de novo p.R306Q variant exhibits attenuated deubiquitination activity without reducing the amount of OTULIN, the deubiquitination activity of the p.P152L variant inherited from the mother was equivalent to that of the wild-type. Patient-derived MSCs in which the p.P152L variant was replaced with wild-type also exhibited augmented TNF-induced cell death and accumulation of linear chains. The finding that ORAS can be caused by a dominant-negative p.R306Q variant of OTULIN furthers our understanding of disease pathogenesis

Hitomi (ASTRO-H) X-ray Astronomy Satellite
The Hitomi (ASTRO-H) mission is the sixth Japanese x-ray astronomy satellite developed by a large international collaboration, including Japan, USA, Canada, and Europe. The mission aimed to provide the highest energy resolution ever achieved at E > 2 keV, using a microcalorimeter instrument, and to cover a wide energy range spanning four decades in energy from soft x-rays to gamma rays. After a successful launch on February 17, 2016, the spacecraft lost its function on March 26, 2016, but the commissioning phase for about a month provided valuable information on the onboard instruments and the spacecraft system, including astrophysical results obtained from first light observations. The paper describes the Hitomi (ASTRO-H) mission, its capabilities, the initial operation, and the instruments/spacecraft performances confirmed during the commissioning operations for about a month
