タイトル: Person-organization fit in Japan: A longitudinal study of the effects of clan culture and interdependence on employee well-being著者: Watanabe, Yasushi; Takemura, Kosuke; Nakayama, Masataka; Gobel, Matthias. S.; Domae, Hiina; Uchida, Yukiko抄録: Studies of person-organization fit (P-O fit) have shown that a fit between the values of the individual and the values of the organization leads to higher job satisfaction. Here, we extended past research by investigating P-O fit on employees' well-being. We tested what characteristics of the person and the organization contributed to an effective P-O fit in Japan. Specifically, we examined the role of employees' levels of interdependence and perceptions of their organizational contexts as clan culture or market culture. This allowed us to test what type of organizational culture formed an effective P-O fit for employees with highly interdependent cultural values in Japan. A longitudinal survey of 456 workers in Japan conducte ...

タイトル: Citizen-participatory nationwide survey of mountain streamwater chemistry in Japan in 2022: Comparison of nitrate concentrations with the 2003 survey著者: Makino, Soyoka; Tokuchi, Naoko; Akaishi, Daisuke; Koyama, Lina A.; Komai, Yukio; Itaya, Yoshimi; Maung, Nay Lin; Ishimaru, Kanae; Oda, Tomoki; Shibata, Rei; Numamoto, Shinya抄録: Mountain streamwater chemistry is an effective indicator of forest condition. In 2022, we conducted a nationwide investigation of mountain streamwater chemistry in Japan, leveraging citizen-participatory sampling. This approach involved 629 individuals with regular exposure to mountain and natural environments. Although our primary aim was to sample at locations from a 2003 study, we also welcomed samples from new sites. In total, 1414 streamwater samples were collected one time from each forested watershed at the baseflow condition. Our study focused on stream nitrate (NO₃⁻) concentration as a key indicator of anthropogenic nitrogen (N ...

タイトル: Affinizations, R-matrices and reflection functors著者: Kashiwara, Masaki; Kim, Myungho; Oh, Se-jin; Park, Euiyong抄録: In this paper we establish affinizations and R-matrices in the language of pro-objects, and as an application, we construct reflection functors over the localizations of quiver Hecke algebras of arbitrary finite types. This reflection functor categorifies the braid group action on the half of a quantum group and the Saito reflection.

タイトル: Chondrocyte hypertrophy in the growth plate promotes stress anisotropy affecting long bone development through chondrocyte column formation著者: Yokoyama, Yuka; Kameo, Yoshitaka; Sunaga, Junko; Maki, Koichiro; Adachi, Taiji抄録: The length of long bones is determined by column formation of proliferative chondrocytes and subsequent chondrocyte hypertrophy in the growth plate during bone development. Despite the importance of mechanical loading in long bone development, the mechanical conditions of the cells within the growth plate, such as the stress field, remain unclear owing to the difficulty in investigating spatiotemporal changes within dynamically growing tissues. In this study, the mechanisms of longitudinal bone growth were investigated from a mechanical perspective through column formation of proliferative chondrocytes within the growth plate before secondary ossification center formation using continuum-based particle models (CbPMs). A one-factor model, which ...

タイトル: Structural insight into hormone recognition by the natriuretic peptide receptor-A著者: Ogawa, Haruo; Kodama, Masami抄録: Atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) plays a central role in the regulation of blood pressure and volume. ANP activities are mediated by natriuretic peptide receptor-A (NPR-A), a single-pass transmembrane receptor harboring intrinsic guanylate cyclase activity. This study investigated the mechanism underlying NPR-A-dependent hormone recognition through the determination of the crystal structures of the NPR-A extracellular hormone-binding domain complexed with full-length ANP, truncated mutants of ANP, and dendroaspis natriuretic peptide (DNP) isolated from the venom of the green Mamba snake, Dendroaspis angusticeps. The bound peptides possessed pseudo-two-fold symmetry, despite the lack of two-fold symmetry in the primary sequences, which enabled the tight coupling of the peptide to the receptor, and evidently contributes to guanylyl cyclase activity. T ...

タイトル: Inter-clonal competition over queen succession imposes a cost of parthenogenesis on termite colonies著者: Wu, Yao; Fujita, Tadahide; Namba, Yusuke; Kobayashi, Kazuya; Takata, Mamoru; Vargo, Edward L.; Matsuura, Kenji抄録: In social insect colonies, selfish behaviour due to intracolonial conflict among members can result in colony-level costs despite close relatedness. In certain termite species, queens use asexual reproduction for within-colony queen succession but rely on sexual reproduction for worker and alate production, resulting in multiple half-clones of a single primary queen competing for personal reproduction. Our study demonstrates that competition over asexual queen succession among different clone types leads to the overproduction of parthenogenetic offspring, resulting in the production of dysfunctional parthenogenetic alates. By genotyping the queens of 23 field colonies of Reticulitermes speratus, we found that clone variation in the queen population r ...
