We aim to conduct a prospective cohort study to benchmark occupational health and safety in Japan. Here, we describe the detailed protocol for the baseline survey based on the Checklist for Reporting Results of Internet E-Surveys. We conducted the baseline survey for the prospective cohort study in 2022. Our target population was workers in Japan aged 20 years or older, who we sampled to be representative of the Japanese workforce, stratified by sex, age, and region. Among 59,272 registered monitors who answered the initial screening questions, 29,997 completed the survey. After excluding 2,304 invalid responses, we used 27,693 valid participants in our final analysis. The number and mean age of men were 15,201 (55%) and 46 years; those of women were 12,492 (45%) and 45 years. With respect to sex, age, and regional composition, our sampling was representative of Japan's working population. Our sampling for employment status and industry yielded almost the same proportions as a government-led representative sampling of workers in Japan.

While amorphous indium gallium zinc oxide (α-IGZO) thin film transistors (TFTs) are practical alternatives to silicon-based TFTs, their field-effect mobility (∼50 cm/(V s), depending on deposition conditions) remains insufficient to meet the growing demands of high-resolution active-matrix organic light-emitting diode (AMOLED) displays. The need for high-performance oxide TFTs with mobility ≥100 cm/(V s) has become critical to meet the evolving display industry's requirements. This study explored the development of high-mobility hexagonal homologous compound (HC) indium zinc tin oxide (IZTO) TFTs as an alternative to α-IGZO TFTs.

Co-crystal engineering is of interest for many applications in pharmaceutical, chemistry and material fields, but rational design of co-crystals is still challenging. Although artificial intelligence has brought major changes in the decision-making process for materials design, yet limitations in generalization and mechanistic understanding remain. Herein, we sought to improve prediction of co-crystal by combining mechanistic thermodynamic modeling with machine learning.

Purpose To develop and evaluate an automated system for extracting structured clinical information from unstructured radiology and pathology reports using open-weights language models (LMs) and retrieval augmented generation (RAG) and to assess the effects of model configuration variables on extraction performance. Materials and Methods This retrospective study utilized two datasets: 7,294 radiology reports annotated for Brain Tumor Reporting and Data System (BT-RADS) scores and 2,154 pathology reports annotated for mutation status (January 2017 to July 2021). An automated pipeline was developed to benchmark the performance of various LMs and RAG configurations for structured data extraction accuracy from reports.

Mucosal immunity is crucial for preventing the infection and transmission of respiratory viruses. Nasal antibody is inversely correlated with a lower risk of infection with respiratory viruses. However, the current reference standard for nasal antibody assessment is serum-based, mainly consisting of monomeric IgG and IgA.

Lead halide perovskites are widely recognized for their exceptional defect tolerance, setting the benchmark for high-performance optoelectronic applications. Conversely, low-toxicity perovskite-inspired materials (PIMs) typically exhibit suboptimal optoelectronic performance, primarily due to their intrinsic susceptibility to defects. In this study, we address this limitation by exploring the effects of halide vacancies in PIMs through the synthesis of non-stoichiometric CsBiBrI microcrystals (MCs) with a trigonal crystal structure, incorporating iodine vacancies.
