[Perceptual changes among public health nurses brought on through a newly adopted system for providing continuous support in the municipality: Modelled at its core on Finnish practice for maternity and child health clinics (Neuvola)].

Objectives　This study targeted public health nurses in a Japanese municipality that had newly adopted the core components of the Finnish system to provide continuous support to families with children until preschool. It sought to analyze changes in their perceptions for activities in maternal and child health care before and after the adoption.Methods　Relevant data were collected through semi-structured focus group interviews, following an interview guide, conducted from September to October 2020.

[Evaluation on the effect of dosimetry using a depth of calibration point or a depth of temporary dose maximum in high energy electron beams.].

The Japan Society of Medical Physics (JSMP) has published a new dosimetry protocol "JSMP-01" for the calibration of radiotherapy beams. This protocol provides a new definition of the calibration point (depth) in order to obtain the absorbed dose at a reference point (D(r)) by the calculation in high energy electron beams. This study evaluated the difference in the absorbed dose at the depth dose maximum (D(dmax)) and D(r) calculated from the absorbed dose at the calibration point.
