It is my great pleasure to extend the preface of this new journal “BIOPHILIA” on behalf of Okayama University.
I am to learn that the journal “BIOPHILIA” has the purpose which is the English publishing to provide the doctors and researchers all over the world with the newest knowledge of the aging society sustainable.
In Japan it is always very difficult to act with turning one's eyes to the world because Japan is surrounded by the sea all around and our lives complete enough at home. It has not been necessary to meet the strangers within the boundary since the long historic isolation in Edo area. But I am intended to open my university to the world, to cope with another member sophisticatedly to understand each other and to send the result of creative knowledge to the world to interchange the eminent scholars and students.
Now, there is the experience that I participated in the conference named “IBRC 2009, held in Cuba by the International Biophilia Rehabilitation Academy. It was very meaningful for us to exchange and introduce the experiences within the field in Japan and Cuba mutually through the presentations of the research and opinions about the functional recovery of elderly disabled persons.
It was very substantial contents as an international activity of the academy which had the headquarters in Japan.
It is not necessary to say the importance of the refereed paper. And it is expected to open the consciousness of the Japanese people to the world widely through offering the lecture proceedings to the researcher in the world not only through WEB but also through the national search engine “CiNii” and else that the new journal permitted to do.I wish the new journal and the International Biophilia Rehabilitation Academy much more successful years on first publication.
