Abstract Background Patient awareness surveys on polypharmacy have been reported previously, but no previous study has examined the effects of sending feedback to health professionals on reducing medication use. Our study aimed to conduct a patient survey to examine factors contributing to polypharmacy, feedback the results to health professionals, and analyze the resulting changes in the number of polypharmacy patients and prescribed medications. Methods After conducting a questionnaire survey of patients in Study 1, we provided its results to the healthcare professionals, and then surveyed the number of polypharmacy patients and oral medications using a before-after comparative study design in Study 2. In Study 1, we examined polypharmacy and its contributing factors by performing logistic regression analysis. In Study 2, we performed a t-test and a chi-square test. Results In the questionnaire survey, significant differences were found in the following 3 items: age (odds ratio (OR) = 3.14; 95% confidence interval (CI) = 2.01–4.91), number of medical institutions (OR = 2.34; 95%CI = 1.50–3.64), and patients’ difficulty with asking their doctors to deprescribe their medications (OR = 2.21; 95%CI = 1.25–3.90). After the feedback, the number of polypharmacy patients decreased from 175 to 159 individuals and the mean number of prescribed medications per patient decreased from 8.2 to 7.7 (p < 0.001, respectively). Conclusions Providing feedback to health professionals on polypharmacy survey results may lead to a decrease in the number of polypharmacy patients. Factors contributing to polypharmacy included age (75 years or older), the number of medical institutions (2 or more institutions), and patients’ difficulty with asking their physicians to deprescribe their medications. Feedback to health professionals reduced the percentage of polypharmacy patients and the number of prescribed medications. Trial registration UMIN.

Objectives We examined the usability of theophylline extended-release dry syrups, including their powder fluidity and ingestibility using one branded and six generic formulations (formulations A, B, C, D, E, F, and G, respectively). Methods To evaluate the ease of handling by pharmacists, powder fluidity was evaluated by measuring the repose angle, whereas to determine ingestibility, the viewpoints of patients or caregivers were evaluated using a questionnaire survey. Results and discussion: The repose angles of formulations A, B, C, D, E, and F were approximately 30°–40°. These formulations had sufficient powder fluidity, indicating the ease of weighing for most pharmacists. However, the repose angle of formulation G was <30°. Formulation G had high fluidity, suggesting its high rolling property. Thus, powder handling for formulation G may be more difficult than that for other six formulations. The ingestibility, such as the ease of mixing the dry syrup with water and odor intensity, was different between the formulations. Conclusions The present study provides useful information for selecting branded or generic theophylline extended-release dry syrups.

Based on the field investigation of a chemical plant, its plant area was selected as the simulated domain of emergency evacuation. All of staff was considered as the research objects and a questionnaire survey was conducted on them. Then, the survey results were analyzed statistically by SPSS13.0, in light of which the Building EXODUS was used to simulate the emergency evacuation. The results showed that there are 12 factors related to psychological and behavioral response when staff is caught in a liquid chlorine leakage accident. In light of relevancy, those factors are arranged as whether the staff has known the storage location or properties of the chemicals, gender, whether they know the refuge area location, etc. Besides, the poisoning and mortality rate reached 21% during the process of evacuation.

A robotics instruction program is implemented for beginners to understand outlines of robotics. The aim of this program is to give students an outline of “what a robot is” together with its relations with various areas concerned and facilitate each student to produce their own robots and learn its process. This paper introduces lecture contents of “Robot Hands-On Exercise” conducted on freshmen of the Department of Advanced Robotics at Chiba Institute of Technology. This paper also includes visiting lectures with reorganized contents for a crash course provided as a part of Super Science High Schools (SSH) and Science Partnership Project (SPP), which are learning support projects by Japan Science and Technology Agency. We will summarize the findings based on questionnaire survey results and interactions with the students through those lectures.

Increase In Productivity

This study was to investigate the effect of productivity in the construction industry due to the un-ergonomic working atmosphere. The construction industry is a large number of workers concerning industry it leads to productivity loss or due risk factors in the working site. In the review, to improve analysis a drawback, we took ergonomic awareness questionnaire survey among the Engineers in Karur district. Based on the survey results, the awareness of term ergonomics is only 20% and Engineers accept to adopt the ergonomics principles. We extended our work to apply ergonomic principles in the site. The ergonomic deficiency was identified, and gradually new ergonomic principles were applied in plastering and brickwork. 1% increase in productivity measured at 7 days of implementation.
