The process of overcoming challenges faced by midwives providing perinatal mental health care in obstetric facilities in Okinawa, Japan: A qualitative study

Japan Journal of Nursing Science, Volume 23, Issue 3, July 2026.
Abstract Aim This study aimed to clarify how midwives overcome challenges in providing perinatal mental health (PMH) care in clinical settings and to inform feasible, context‐sensitive educational support. Methods We used an interpretivist–constructivist qualitative design with a sequential two‐stage approach.

Prediction of Complex Observed Shear Wave Splitting Patterns at Ryukyu Subduction Zone Using a Strong Intra‐Slab Anisotropy Model

Geophysical Research Letters
Complex shear wave splitting (SWS) patterns in subduction zones are often interpreted geodynamically as resulting from complex mantle flow; however, this may not always be necessary.

The Sub-Crustal Stress Field in the Taiwan Region

Terrestrial, Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences, 2015
We investigate the sub-crustal stress in the Taiwan region. A tectonic configuration in this region is dominated by a collision between the Philippine oceanic plate and the Eurasian continental margin.

Heatwave Characteristics and Trends Across Eight Japanese Cities

International Journal of Climatology, Volume 46, Issue 7, 15 June 2026.
Heatwaves occur with high likelihood across Japan. Strong north–south contrasts exist in heatwave characteristics. Southern locations experience more frequent, longer, and more intense heatwaves. Since 1955 there has been an increase in heatwave frequency, duration, and cumulative heat, particularly for nocturnal heatwaves. ABSTRACT This study provides

Atribacteria from the Subseafloor Sedimentary Biosphere Disperse to the Hydrosphere through Submarine Mud Volcanoes

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2017
Submarine mud volcanoes (SMVs) are formed by muddy sediments and breccias extruded to the seafloor from a source in the deep subseafloor and are characterized by the discharge of methane and other hydrocarbon gasses and deep-sourced fluids into the ...

Comparison of Interferon‐Based and Interferon‐Free Treatments on the Prognosis of Hepatocellular Carcinoma After Hepatitis C Virus‐Sustained Virological Response: A Multicenter Study

Cancer Medicine, Volume 15, Issue 6, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Aim We examine the impact of interferon (IFN)‐based and IFN‐free treatment on the prognosis of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) after hepatitis C virus (HCV) sustained virological response (SVR). Methods Clinical information was collected on 311 cases of HCC after HCV‐SVR from 16 facilities affiliated with the Kyushu Liver Surgery Study Group ...

A global assessment of abyssal–hadal vermiform lebensspuren: Functional consistency with depth

Limnology and Oceanography, Volume 71, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract Lebensspuren—sedimentary traces produced by benthic organisms—are widespread on deep‐sea floors but remain infrequently reported from abyssal (~ 3000–6000) and hadal (> 6000 m) environments. Here, we present the most comprehensive assessment of abyssal–hadal vermiform lebensspuren to date, spanning multiple ocean basins and reaching full‐ocean

Shear wave splitting from local events beneath the Ryukyu arc: Trench-parallel anisotropy in the mantle wedge

Physics of the Earth and Planetary Interiors, 2006
We present shear wave splitting measurements from local slab earthquakes at eight seismic stations of the Japanese F-net array located in the Ryukyu arc. We obtained high-quality splitting measurements for 70 event-station pairs and found that the majority of the measured fast directions were parallel to the strike of the trench and perpendicular to ...

Estimating Tsunami Economic Losses of Okinawa Island with Multi-Regional-Input-Output Modeling

Geosciences, 2019
Understanding the impacts of tsunamis, especially in terms of damage and losses, is important for disaster mitigation and management. The aim of this study is to present our estimations of the potential losses from tsunami damage on Okinawa Island.
