In 2019, the Cancer Cachexia Web Questionnaire Survey(J-EPOCC)was conducted among cancer patients, their families and healthcare professionals in Japan, and it showed that the term"cancer cachexia"was highly recognized among health care professionals, whereas the staging and criteria for cancer cachexia defined by European Palliative Care Research Collaborative( EPCRC)was less understood. Also, many healthcare professionals tended to consider the term"cancer cachexia" as the terminal stage of cancer, and most of them lacked the knowledge that cancer cachexia is a disease complication which is potentially developed from the early stage of cancer. Since anamorelin was approved in 2021 for"Cancer cachexia in unresectable advanced or recurrent of non-small cell lung cancer, gastric cancer, pancreatic cancer and colorectal cancer", the treatment environment for cancer cachexia has greatly changed.

Since anamorelin was approved in 2021 fo"r Cancer cachexia in non- small cell lung cancer, gastric cancer, pancreatic cancer and colorectal cancer", the treatment environment for cancer cachexia has greatly changed. Thus, the second Web Questionnaire Survey(J-EPOCCⅡ)was conducted in June 2022 to investigate changes in the problem awareness of cancer cachexia, especially appetite loss and weight loss, among patients and their family and healthcare professionals.

By analyzing a dataset of approximately 1000 honeybees (Apis mellifera) tracked in 5 trials, we discovered that honeybees exhibit synchronized activity (bursting behavior) in their locomotion. These bursts occurred spontaneously, potentially as a result of intrinsic bee interactions.

This method is aimed at detecting seismic signals from continuous waveform records. In our framework, detectability is automatically determined from Akaike's Information Criterion (AIC).
