    　View Summary

    Abstract

    This study focuses on how scientifically accurate information is disseminated through social media, and how misinformation can be corrected. We have identified examples on Twitter where scientific terms that have been widely misused have been rectified and replaced by scientifically accurate terms through the interaction of users. The results show that the percentage of accurate terms (“variant” or “COVID-19 variant”) being used instead of the inaccurate terms (“strain”) on Twitter has already increased since the end of December 2020. This was about a month before the release of an official statement by the Japanese Association for Infectious Diseases regarding the accurate terminology, and the use of terms on social media was faster than it was in television. Some Twitter users who quickly started using the accurate term were more likely to retweet messages sent by leading influencers on Twitter, rather than messages sent by traditional media or portal sites. However, a few Twitter users continued to use wrong terms even after March 2021, even though the use of the accurate terms was widespread. This study empirically verified that self-correction occurs even on Twitter, and also suggested that influencers with expertise can influence the direction of public opinion on social media.

    　View Summary

    To deal with the risk of emerging diseases with many unknowns, close and timely collaboration and communication between science experts and policymakers are crucial to developing and implementing an effective science-based intervention strategy. The Expert Meeting, an ad hoc medical advisory body, was established in February 2020 to advise Japan's COVID-19 Response Headquarters. The group played an important role in the policymaking process, promoting timely situation awareness and developing science-based proposals on interventions that were promptly reflected in government actions. However, this expert group may have been overly proactive in taking on the government's role in crisis management. For the next stage of managing the coronavirus disease pandemic and future pandemics, the respective roles of the government and its advisory bodies need to be clearly defined. Leadership and strategic risk communication by the government are key.

  • Exploring the Contexts of ELSI and RRI in Japan: Case Studies in Dual-Use, Regenerative Medicine, and Nanotechnology

    Ken Kawamura, Daisuke Yoshinaga, Shishin Kawamoto, Mikihito Tanaka, Ryuma Shineha

    Risks and Regulation of New Technologies (Kobe University Monograph Series in Social Science Research)     271 - 290  2020.12  [Refereed]  [Invited]

    　View Summary

    In this paper, we focus on the Japanese context of ELSI (Ethical, Legal and Social Implications) and RRI (Responsible Research and Innovation) related issues, delving into the cases of the dual-use issues led by the Japanese physicists, stem cell research (SCR) and regenerative medicine (RM), and the media coverage on the risk of nanotechnology in Japan. Through our quantitative analysis of discussions on the three topics, we found the diverse ways people shape the ELSI/RRI discussions regarding the three technologies. In the first two cases of dual-use and SCR, the similar structure of discourses concerning the technology is identified: while those affirmative on the technology tend to emphasize the technical and economic aspects, those negative on the technology criticize such moves on the basis of ideal of pacifism or responsible governance. In the last case of nanotechnology, on the contrary, criticism of concentration on the technical and economic aspects of technology was shared throughout the arguments. We showed that Japanese media utilized the memory of post-war pollution disasters in order to help people imagine the risks of the emerging nanotechnology, and thus argued for the overcoming of the economy-first principle. These findings showed how the social context shapes people’s imagination on the benefits and risks of certain technologies. We must take such “socio-technical imaginaries” into consideration during ELSI and RRI discussions.

  • Japanese citizens' behavioral changes and preparedness against COVID-19: An online survey during the early phase of the pandemic

    Kaori Muto, Isamu Yamamoto, Miwako Nagasu, Mikihito Tanaka, Koji Wada

    PLOS ONE   15 ( 6 ) e0234292 - e0234292  2020.06  [Refereed]  [International journal]

    　View Summary

    The Japanese government instituted countermeasures against COVID-19, a pneumonia caused by the new coronavirus, in January 2020. Seeking "people's behavioral changes," in which the government called on the public to take precautionary measures or exercise self-restraint, was one of the important strategies. The purpose of this study is to investigate how and from when Japanese citizens have changed their precautionary behavior under circumstances in which the government has only requested their cooperation. This study uses micro data from a cross-sectional survey conducted on an online platform of an online research company, based on quota sampling that is representative of the Japanese population. By the end of March 2020, a total of 11,342 respondents, aged from 20 to 64 years, were recruited. About 85 percent reported practising the social distancing measures recommended by the government including more females than males and more older than younger participants. Frequent handwashing is conducted by 86 percent of all participants, 92 percent of female, and 87.9 percent of over-40 participants. The most important event influencing these precautionary actions was the infection aboard the Diamond Princess cruise ship, which occurred in early February 2020 (23 percent). Information from the central and local governments, received by 60 percent of the participants, was deemed trustworthy by 50 percent. However, the results also showed that about 20 percent of the participants were reluctant to implement proper prevention measures. The statistical analysis indicated that the typical characteristics of those people were male, younger (under 30 years old), unmarried, from lower-income households, a drinking or smoking habit, and a higher extraversion score. To prevent the spread of infection in Japan, it is imperative to address these individuals and encourage their behavioural changes using various means to reach and influence them.

    　View Summary

    <p>Over the last decade Japanese researchers have taken the lead in the emerging discipline of molecular robotics. This new technology aims to produce artificial molecular systems that can adapt to changes in the environment, self-organize and evolve. This paper explores the question of how to stimulate responsible research and innovation in the field of molecular robotics technologies. For this, we first draw lessons from earlier societal responses in Japan to emerging technologies, such as genetic engineering, nanotechnology, synthetic biology and genomic research. Next we describe various real-time technology assessment (TA) activities on molecular robotics in Japan to depict the state-of-the-art of the academic and public debate on the social aspects of molecular robotics. Lessons from earlier societal responses to emerging technologies demonstrated three potential challenges: finding and involving the 'right' experts and stakeholders, keeping regulations up to date, and getting scientists and citizens involved in science communication. A literature review, 'future workshop' and scenario workshop raised a number of ethical, social, political and cultural issues, and addressed desirable and undesirable scenarios for the next few decades. Twitter text mining analysis indicates that the level of attention, knowledge and awareness about molecular robots among a broader audience is still very limited. In conclusion, we identify four activities crucial to enable responsible innovation in molecular robotics—getting to grips with the speed of the development of molecular robotics, monitoring related technical trends, the establishment of a more stable TA knowledge base, and a sustained interaction between molecular roboticists and social scientists.</p>

  • Small Heat Shock Protein alpha B-Crystallin Controls Shape and Adhesion of Glioma and Myoblast Cells in the Absence of Stress

    Miho Shimizu, Mikihito Tanaka, Yoriko Atomi

    PLOS ONE   11 ( 12 )  2016.12  [Refereed]

    　View Summary

    Cell shape and adhesion and their proper controls are fundamental for all biological systems. Mesenchymal cells migrate at an average rate of 6 to 60 mu m/hr, depending on the extracellular matrix environment and cell signaling. Myotubes, fully differentiated muscle cells, are specialized for power-generation and therefore lose motility. Cell spreading and stabilities of focal adhesion are regulated by the critical protein vinculin from immature myoblast to mature costamere of differentiated myotubes where myofibril Z-band linked to sarcolemma. The Z-band is constituted from microtubules, intermediate filaments, cell adhesion molecules and other adapter proteins that communicate with the outer environment. Mesenchymal cells, including myoblast cells, convert actomyosin contraction forces to tension through mechanoresponsive adhesion assembly complexes as Z-band equivalents. There is growing evidence that microtubule dynamics are involved in the generation of contractile forces; however, the roles of microtubules in cell adhesion dynamics are not well determined. Here, we show for the first time that alpha B-crystallin, a molecular chaperon for tubulin/microtubules, is involved in cell shape determination. Moreover, knockdown of this molecule caused myoblasts and glioma cells to lose their ability for adhesion as they tended to behave like migratory cells. Surprisingly, aB-crystallin knockdown in both C6 glial cells and L6 myoblast permitted cells to migrate more rapidly (2.7 times faster for C6 and 1.3 times faster for L6 cells) than dermal fibroblast. On the other hand, overexpression of aB-crystallin in cells led to an immortal phenotype because of persistent adhesion. Position of matured focal adhesion as visualized by vinculin immuno-staining, stress fiber direction, length, and density were clearly aB-crystallin dependent. These results indicate that the small HSP aB-crystallin has important roles for cell adhesion, and thus microtubule dynamics are necessary for persistent adhesion.

    　View Summary

    In a new family with X-linked congenital autophagic vacuolar myopathy (AVM), seven affected boys presented with congenital hypotonia, dyspnea, and dysphagia with delayed motor milestones. Muscle pathology revealed autophagic vacuoles with sarcolemmal features, multilayered basal lamina with marked sarcolemmal deposition of C5-9 membrane attack complex and calcium, histologically indistinguishable from childhood-onset X-linked myopathy with excessive autophagy (XMEA). Haplotype analysis suggests that this new AVM and XMEA may be allelic despite different clinical presentations.

    　View Summary

    Among the autophagic vacuolar myopathics (AVMs), a subgroup is characterized pathologically by unusual autophagic vacuoles with sarcolemmal features (AVSF) and includes Danon disease and X-linked myopathy with excessive autophagy. The diagnostic importance and detailed morphologic features of AVSF in different AVMs have not been well established, and the mechanism of AVSF formation is not known. To address these issues, we have performed detailed histologic studies of myopathies with AVSF and other AVMs. In Danon disease and related AVMs, at the light microscopic level, autophagic vacuoles appeared to be accumulations of lysosomes, which, by electron microscopy consisted of clusters of autophagic vacuoles, indicative of autolysosomes. Some autolysosomes were surrounded by membranes with sarcolemmal proteins, acetylcholinesterase activity, and basal lamina. In Danon disease, the number of fibers with AVSF increased linearly with age while the number with autolysosomal accumulations decreased slightly, suggesting that AVSF are produced secondarily in response to autolysosomes. Most of the AVSF form enclosed spaces, indicating that the vacuolar membranes,may be formed in situ rather than through sarcolemmal indentation. This unique intracytoplasmic membrane structure was not found in other AVMs. In conclusion, AVSF with acetylcholinesterase activity are autolysosomes surrounded by secondarily generated intracytoplasmic sarcolemma-like structure and delineates a subgroup of AVMs.

    　View Summary

    Xenopus laevis A6 cells, which are cloned epithelial cells from the Xenopus kidney, differentiate into a dome structure when the cells reach confluence. We investigated the gravitational responses of A6 cellular motility during normal differentiation and differentiation under hypergravity conditions using centrifugation (1-100 x g). Progression to dome formation was analyzed by time-lapse micrography. Dome formation and increased expression of Na(+)/K(+)-adenosine triphosphatase were used as markers of differentiation. Interestingly, a high rate of cellular proliferation was observed at a low level of hypergravity (5 x g). Despite this, there was no difference in the time to dome formation between the control cells at primary cell density and those that differentiated under hyper- or hypogravity conditions. In conclusion, this experiment on amphibian cells revealed that the proliferation of A6 cells was strongly affected by gravity conditions, but the differentiation step appears to be controlled by an intra- or intercellular clock.

    　View Summary

    古典的な日本政治の研究は、国家官僚や巨大企業、そして保守政治家といったアクターの相関関係、政治的な力学関係に注目したものが多かった。近年の日本研究は、他国に比較して見えにくいものの、確かに存残する市民社会に起因する社会変化に注目するようになっている。多くの研究は、小さな市民社会団体の政治的活動（例えば移民政策、国際開発や老人介護）に注目しているが、長期に渡る「民主化の実践」や組織的差異に注目したものもある。このプロジェクトでは、経験研究をベースに日本の市民社会の「二重構造」に注目する。片方には、身近な生活の支援を行うための、多様な市民社会運動グループが存在する。もう一方には、これらと時に重なり合うが、しかし基本的には別枠の、政治的唱道も行う少数の運動グループが存在する。1970年代以降、日本の社会運動は低調化したことが知られているが、これは上記のような二重構造の分断によるものと目されている。このような社会運動の構造について、特別研究員はピエール・ブルデューの「界」概念を手掛かりに、日本における社会運動の来し方行く末を分析しようと試みた。
    我々はこのような問題意識に基づき、こうした界を形成し、また反映するメディア議論の分析を行っている（進行形なのは，このJSPS特別研究員としての期間が中途で終わったため分析を続行しているためである）。もう少し具体的には、近年の日本における社会運動の再興のきっかけともなった東日本大震災後の社会議論を把握するバックグラウンドとして必要となる、社会における、原発事故の「責任論」の有り様を分析している。より具体的には、日本の新聞３紙（『朝日新聞』『読売新聞』『毎日新聞』）を皮切りに、英語圏での報道、ドイツ語圏での報道との比較を通じて、日本における「責任論」の特異性を描出しようという試みである。
