Hayashi-kata (music performers), who are in charge of musical staging of Japanese performing arts Kabuki, are indispensable to the performance itself; yet they have not been the primary focus of documentation. As a basis for clarifying the actual state of ensembles that were often lumped together as 'the hayashi performers', this paper extracts and analyses name lists from historical sources in the early Meiji-era (1868-1896). From Kabuki playbills (banzuke) and music direction memoranda (hayashi-tsukechō), I have been able to find a total of 1,958 names from 81 different performances in the period under study. In particular, when examining narimono players (percussionists and flutists), new aspects have been found in their theatrical appearances and co-performances in the early Meiji-era, which would have played an important role in the formation of current Kabuki tradition. It can be pointed out that these points reflect the changing power relations of the theatres in Tokyo. There is still much work to be done, including more detailed consideration of ensemble groups including singing and shamisen, as well as the relationship between the music performers and the actors who employed them.

This article aims to add a new perspective on how the Japanese government conducted Japan-South Korea negotiations on security-economic cooperation during the early 1980s.The Zenko Suzuki administration judged that Japan could not meet the U.S. government’s expectations of strengthening its own defense capabilities. For this reason, the administration expressed willingness to cooperate with the U.S. for the economic and social development of strategically important countries. This was intended to work as a means to achieve the ‘comprehensive security’ policy adopted by the Masayoshi Ohira administration and burden-sharing in the U.S.-Japan Alliance. In other words, Japan had an economic cooperation policy that aimed to support developing countries, while recognizing the political impact of foreign aid. Japan had this policy in place before South Korea’s request in 1981 for 10 billion dollars in economic assistance.The Suzuki administration had already acknowledged the need to support South Korea to ensure Japan’s cooperative relationship with the U.S. Nevertheless, there was a marked contrast in position between Japan and South Korea during the early stages of the negotiations on the official purpose and contents of economic cooperation. Steady negotiation efforts were necessary to create a situation where the Japanese Prime Minister could make bold political judgments and take action on this issue.The Japanese government later decided to negotiate with South Korea based upon its main principles of economic cooperation, such as ‘improving people’s livelihood’ and ‘maintaining a balance among beneficiary countries’, while recognizing the political nature of such cooperation and its indirect contribution to Korea’s security. In other words, the Japanese government intended to maintain its own initiative on economic cooperation while responding flexibly to South Korea’s request for aid.During the negotiations, the Japanese side had explicitly stated that it could not agree with Korea’s view that Japan should promote economic cooperation with Korea in order to ease Korea’s military burden. However, Japan did express some understanding of South Korea’s situation and Korea accepted Japan’s assertion that it would contribute to Korea’s economic and social stability. Negotiations then made progress and the two sides agreed on the official purpose for economic cooperation and the amount of assistance from Japan to Korea. Under these circumstances, Prime Minister Suzuki played an important role in deciding the proportion of Japan’s ODA to the total amount of assistance to South Korea. He also explained Japan’s position during the summit talks and dispatched his special envoys to Korea. Consequently, the differences in stance between the two countries on the content of the assistance was narrowed to a considerable extent before the inauguration of the Yasuhiro Nakasone administration.However, negotiations between Japan and South Korea were suspended during the Japanese history textbook controversy that surfaced at the end of June 1982. When the textbook issue was settled, Suzuki announced that he would not run in the Liberal Democratic Party leadership election. Therefore, the Nakasone administration assumed responsibility for resolving the remaining issues.There is thus room for further consideration of whether the Suzuki administration’s pacifist stance should be regarded as the reason behind the failure of negotiations with South Korea. It is important to bear in mind the necessity of examining various aspects of Japan’s domestic and international situations. Furthermore, Japan-South Korea negotiations on security-economic cooperation revealed a high degree of policy continuity among the Ohira, Suzuki and Nakasone administrations.

Natural gas and oil produced from in-situ reservoir may contain a small amount of mercury. The origin of mercury in these production fluids is thought to be atmospheric mercury deposition or enhanced mercury concentrations resulting from interaction of hydrocarbon fluids with mercury rich sediment, such as coal and carbonaceous shale. Mercury in natural gas can cause amalgam corrosion of aluminum heat exchangers in Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) plants, and mercury in condensate and crude oil can cause catalyst poisoning in oil refineries and petrochemical plants. It is important to remove mercury from natural gas and oil in various aspects of stable oil/gas production, environmental issues and occupational health and safety in production facilities. There are several mercury removal technologies for natural gas, oil and produced water. Metal sulfide adsorbents and activated carbons are popular technique to remove mercury from natural gas and oil. However, there are some difficulties in mercury removal from oil. These mercury adsorbents can work for removing only elemental mercury in condensate, while cannot work for the other types of mercury species, such as ionic mercury and organic mercury. In addition, wax interferes mercury removal in condensate and crude oil by covering adsorbed sites of adsorbents. For efficient mercury removal, it is important to know what amount of mercury content and what types of mercury species are in production fluids. To achieve detailed understanding of these key points, an analytical method using Gas Chromatograph-Inductive Coupled Plasma-Mass Spectrometer (GC-ICP-MS) is optimized for mercury speciation analysis. The optimization focuses on condensate samples in particular. This analytical technique will contribute efficient mercury removal from production fluids.

The hanger reflex is a phenomenon characterized by the involuntary rotation of the head when a wire hanger is worn around the head such that a force is applied to the frontal temporal area by the longer side of the hanger. The application of a shearing force on the skin is thought to be the cause of this phenomenon. Attempts have been made to treat cervical dystonia using equipment designed to induce the hanger reflex. This reflex may have implications in the treatment of headaches, cervical pain, and adhesive capsulitis. The hanger reflex is seen not only in the head region but is also in other parts of the body. Thus, it could be used in the treatment of systemic dystonias. The hanger reflex may help develop inexpensive and non-invasive treatment for dystonia or other neurological diseases and is expected to be the focus of research in the future.

The European Utility Requirements organization started the compliance assessment process of the Mitsubishi Heavy Industries EU-APWR Standard Design in 2012. The EU-APWR is an Advanced PWR, 1700 MWe class, 4-loops, 14ft active core fuel length that MHI has developed for the European market. The EU-APWR is an evolution of the Advance PWR currently under the licensing process in Japan for the Tsuruga Power Station. MHI has modified the design applying improvements in safety and economy in order to be adapted for European markets and to comply with the EUR requirements. The EU-APWR Standard Design documentation has been assessed against the EUR Volume 2 - Generic Nuclear Island requirements Revision D, issued in October 2012. The assessment is divided into 20 chapters for a total of over four thousand individual requirements. Each chapter was assigned to Assessment Performers who executed the detailed analysis of the requirements. The assessment of each requirement and the Synthesis Report have been submitted to, and scrutinized by, the Coordination Group, formed by representatives of the European Utilities together with the Vendor, and reviewed by the Administration Group and by the Steering Committee. The Synthesis Reports have been collected in the Volume 3 EU-APWR Standard Design Subset and presented to the Steering Committee, which approved the final draft in October 2014. The overall results of the assessment indicated good compliance of the EU-APWR Standard Design: 77% of the requirements resulted in compliance with EUR. This percentage increases to 85% when taking into account the requirements for which the design has been evaluated in compliance with the objectives. The requirements where the design has been judged not in compliance with EUR are less than 2%. The divergences between the EU-APWR Standard Design and the EUR concern different areas like, for instance, layout, operational capability and performance, outage operations, personal protection and radiation monitoring. Some of the incongruences result from differences in approach to the design process or from differences in the rules and standards in use in Japan and in Europe. Some analyses, like the internal hazards effects, have been performed only partially because, in Japan, such analyses are considered site-specific and are carried out at the detailed design level. The analysis of the consequences of a hydrogen explosion, and the environmental qualification methodology of equipment have not been fully developed yet. While the reactor core has been designed for an operability cycle of 24 months and can be loaded with 50% MOX fuel, no other area of the plant has been designed taking into consideration MOX fuel.
