Introduction: On 11 March 2011, a magnitude 9.0 earthquake caused a huge tsunami that struck Northeast Japan, resulting in nearly 20 000 deaths. We investigated mortality patterns by age, sex, and region in the 3 most severely affected prefectures.Methods: Using police data on earthquake victims in Iwate, Miyagi, and Fukushima prefectures, mortality rates by sex, age group, and region were calculated, and regional variability in mortality rates across age groups was compared using rate ratios (RRs), with the rates in Iwate as the reference.Results: In all regions, age-specific mortality showed a tendency to increase with age; there were no sex differences. Among residents of Iwate, mortality was markedly lower among school-aged children as compared with other age groups. In northern Miyagi and the southern part of the study area, RRs were higher among school-aged children than among other age groups.Conclusions: The present study could not address the reasons for the observed mortality patterns and regional differences. To improve preparedness policies, future research should investigate the reasons for regional differences.

Regular physical activity is associated with improvements of metabolic syndrome (MetS) risk factors. Furthermore, recent physical activity guidelines for health promotion recommend that moderate to vigorous physical activity should be performed in bouts lasting ≥ 10 min. Brisk walking is a popular and readily attainable form of moderate intensity physical activity and is suitable for the majority of individuals. However, it is unclear whether brisk walking lasting ≥ 10 min is associated with improvement in MetS. This study aimed to determine the effects of a 1-year lifestyle-based physical activity intervention with brisk walking of ≥ 10 min using a pedometer on the improvement in MetS. Three hundred and seventy-six overweight male employees with ≥ 1 MetS component(s) participated in this intervention study from 2008 to 2009 (age, 30-62 years; body mass index, 23.0-45.5 kg/m2). Overall, 316 participants (84%) completed the 1-year intervention. MetS was defined according to the Japanese criteria at baseline and after 1 year. Brisk walking lasting ≥ 10 min was significantly associated with the decrease in waist circumference (β = −1.479) and triglyceride (β = −31.260), and the increase in high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (β = 2.117). The brisk walking step counts were also significantly associated with higher odds for an improvement in MetS (OR, 1.48; 95% CI, 1.05-2.09) and abdominal obesity (OR, 1.45; 95% CI, 1.12-1.87). In conclusion, the lifestyle-based intervention with brisk walking of ≥ 10 min is an effective strategy to improve MetS in overweight male employees.

Direct initiations and stabilizations of three-dimensional conical detonation waves were attained by launching spheres with 1.06–1.31 times the C–J velocities into detonable mixtures. We conducted high time-resolution Schlieren visualizations of the whole processes over unsteady initiations to stable propagations of the stabilized Oblique Detonation Waves (ODWs) using a high-speed camera. The detonable mixtures were stoichiometric oxygen mixtures with acetylene, ethylene or hydrogen. They were diluted with argon in a 50% volumetric fraction, and a 75% diluted mixture was also tested for the acetylene/oxygen. The direct initiation of detonation by the projectile and the DDT process like the re-initiation appeared in the initiation process of stabilized ODW. This process eventually led to the stabilized ODW supported by the projectile velocity and the ringed shape detonation wave originating in the re-initiation. We modeled the spatial evolution of stabilized ODW after the re-initiation based on its C–J velocity and angle. The model qualitatively reproduced the measured development rate of stabilized ODW. We also discussed about the detonation stability for the curvature effect arising from the three-dimensional nature of stabilized ODW around the projectile. The curvature effect attenuated the detonation wave below its C–J velocity at the vicinity of projectile. The propagation limits of curvature effect will be responsible for the criticality to attain the stabilized ODWs. By accessing the detailed distributions of propagation velocities and curvature radiuses, the critical curvature radiuses normalized by the cell sizes experimentally revealed to be 8–10 or 15–18 for mixtures diluted with each 50% argon or 75% argon/krypton.

The geometry and characteristic length of diffraction and re-initiation during a two-dimensional detonation propagation were revealed by visualization. C2H4 + 3O2 (unstable), 2C2H2 + 5O2 + 7Ar (stable) and 2C2H2 + 5O2 + 21Ar (stable) were used as the test mixtures. Experiments were performed over the deviation angle range from 30° to 150° and the initial pressure range from 15.8 to 102.3 kPa. By self-emitting photography, we confirmed that the geometry and the characteristic length of diffraction are not different among test gases, with the exception of the fan-like structure of re-initiation that occurred regardless of whether the mixture was unstable or stable. We conducted a compensative experiment by changing the deviation angle and initial pressure, and summarized the detonation diffraction by shadowgraph. At deviation angles larger than 60°, we measured the distances from the vertex of the channel corner to the point where the transverse detonation wave reflected on the under wall (= wall reflection distance) and confirmed that wall reflection distances are approximately in the range of 10–15 times the cell width, whether the mixture is unstable or stable.

Based on first-principles total-energy calculations, we studied the energetics and electronic structure of zigzag graphene nanoribbons with nanometer-scale corners. We found that the formation energy of a short zigzag edge with a 120∘ corner is substantially smaller than that of a straight zigzag edge with an infinite length. We also found that zigzag graphene ribbons with 120∘ corners are semiconductors for which the band-gap decreases with increasing length between adjacent corners. The edge state is absent for zigzag graphene ribbons with short corner-corner distances, while the edge state emerges for zigzag ribbons that have a corner-corner distance greater than 1.5 nm. The remarkable stability of the 120∘ corner of the short zigzag edges is in good agreement with the experimental observation of such corners of graphene edges.

In spite of his laying a main stress upon using the vernacular language Dante Alighieri still must have recourse to the Latin Language, namely, the parental language of Tuscan in his La Vita Nuova. In the first place there are quite a few Latin verbalizations and quotations in this work. We can easily collect those phrases and passages at random: Incipit vita nova. I. (A new life begins.)/ Ecce deus fortior me, qui veniens dominabitur michi. II.-4 (Look, God, mightier than me, who, coming, will have dominion over me.)/ Heu miser, quia frequenter impeditus ero deinceps! II.-6 (Alas, how sad! For I shall be often impeded from now on!)/ O vos omnes qui transitis perviam, attendite et videte si est dolor sicut meus. VII.-7 (Oh, all of you who are going over along the way, beware and see if there is any grief like mine.)/ Fili mi, tempus est ut pretermictantur simulacra nostra. XII.-3 (My son, it is time that our semblances should be cast aside.)/ Ego tanquam centrum circuli, cui simili modo se habent circumferentie partes; tu autem non sic". XII.-4 (I am, so to speak, the center of a circle, to which the circumferential parts are situated in the similar way; you, on the other hand, are not so.)/ Nomina sunt consequentia rerum. XIII. 3-4 (Names are a necessary sequence of things.)/ Quomodo sedet sola civitas plena populo! facta est quasi vidua domina gentium. XXVIII.-1 (How solitarily the city filled with people takes a seat! The queen of peoples has become as if she were a widow.) Last but not least his final clause of this work is as follows: cioè di quella benedetta Beatrice, la quale gloriosamente mira ne la faccia di colui qui est per omnia secula benedictus. XLII.-3 (that is, that blessed Beatrice, who is gloriously gazing at the face of Him who is blessed during all the centuries.)ダンテは処女作と目される「新生」において、祖語なるラテン語から決別し自国語(vernacular)による創作活動を推進すべく、グイード・カヴァルカンテ、ラーポ・ジャンニ、チーノ・ダ・ピストイア等と共に清新詩体(stilnovistico)を提唱する旗手となったが、さすがにラテン語からの完全な離脱は叶わず、以下のようなラテン語からの引用が随所に見られる。Incipit vita nova. I.(新生はじまる.)/ Ecce deus fortior me, qui veniens dominabitur michi. II.-4(見よ、われより強き神の来たりてわれを支配しますように。)/ Heu miser, quia frequenter impeditus ero deinceps! II.-6(ああ、何と悲しいかな、是から先われはたびたび妨げられんからに!)/ O vos omnes qui transitis perviam, attendite et videte si est dolor sicut meus. VII.-7(おお、通りを行かれる淑女の皆さん、私の悲しみと同じ悲しみがあり得るかどうか注意してみて下さい。)/ Fili mi, tempus est ut pretermictantur simulacra nostra. XII.-3(我が息子よ、見せ掛けの外見を打ち捨てる時だよ。)/ Ego tanquam centrum circuli, cui simili modo se habent circumferentie partes; tu autem non sic". XII.-4(私は言わば円の中心で、周囲のものがこれと同様に私に追随しているのだが、あなただけはそうではない。)/ Nomina sunt consequentia rerum. XIII. 3-4(名称は必然的重要性を有する。)/ Quomodo sedet sola civitas plena populo! facta est quasi vidua domina gentium. XXVIII.-1(如何に侘しく人民に満ち溢れたその都市は存するものか! 多部族の女王がまるで寡婦のごとくに成り果ててしまったかの様だ。)

本論文では,欧米のソーシャルワーク教育と実践の研究の発展過程を踏まえ,国際人口移動が進展し多文化・多様化社会となった今日,外国にルーツを持つ人々の問題に対応可能なソーシャルワーカーを養成する必要があることを示した.そのためには,文化的コンピテンスとダイバーシティの価値と理論に基づき,教育側と実践現場側が連携し,教育と実践の基準を構築することの必要性を示した.また,国際人口移動に伴う生命や生活の安定や安全保障の整備にあたっては,彼/彼女らのエスニックリアリティを念頭に置くことが求められる.それと同時に,各国の社会保障・安全保障という枠組みで考えるだけではなく,国家の枠組みを超えて人間の安全や生命をいかに守っていくかというヒューマン・セキュリティの考え方が重要となることが示唆された.
