In order to explore the circumstances and study issues related to education and training of foreign nurse candidates arriving in Japan under Economic Partnership Agreements (EPA) to undergo training or employment at medical institutions throughout Japan, we conducted a survey based on a mock examination of the national examination for nurses by targeting Filipino nurse candidates. The subjects comprised Filipino nurse candidates of the first group to arrive in Japan who agreed to cooperate for the survey. For the survey, we used problems from the English version of the 98th National Examination for Nurses. According to the results, the mean rate of correct answers for mandatory problems was 79%. Categorized by area, the mean rate of correct answers was 61-73% for nursing-related problems and 55-57% for basic knowledge regarding bodily functions and disorders. The examination results differed greatly between those who had seen examination problems before and those who had not, and although 12 of the subjects who had seen the problems before (57.1%) met the standard of acceptance, only 9 of the subjects who had not seen the problems before (23.7%) met the standard of acceptance. These survey results indicate that factors of difficulties faced by Filipino nurse candidates in passing national examinations include not only the difficult of Japanese courses but also differences in nursing education curricula and basic nursing policies between Japan and the Philippines. This survey revealed that in order to enable foreign nurse candidates to develop learning methods to pass national examinations, it is important to consider these kinds of perspectives.

Japan began to accept hundreds of Indonesian and Filipino nurses and caregivers ("candidates") into its labor market under its Economic Partnership Agreements (EPAs) with Indonesia and the Philippines since 2008. The author's international research team conducted various studies in Japan and other countries. The results of our quality and quantity surveys show that there are many differences in various aspects between Indonesian and Filipino candidates, and thus the governments and receiving facilities have to take into consideration on such differences at their workplaces. The team also found that many of receiving hospitals and facilities have faced with the difficulties in development of their foreign employees' reading and writing abilities in Japanese and preparation for the national board examination in Japanese.

Japan has accepted two hundred foreign nurses and careworkers as candidates to Japan under IJEPA (Indonesia Japan Economic Partnership Agreement). One of the characteristics of the scheme is to let candidates enter Japan for maximally three to four years for the preparation of Japanese licensure examination. However, Japan has seldom had experience of providing foreign talents of human resource development program. Besides, due to language barrier, receiving hospitals and elderly homes face some difficulty in management. Current condition is such that the labor market is under transition of bipolarization.

In Japan, the second demographic transition is sifted already after the first demographic transition, and also the international immigration is occurring. Internationally, there are strong probabilities of international migration in the economic disparities between developed and developing countries either the unskilled and/or skilled labors. Among them, it is the global migration of nurses and long-term care workers that attracts people's attention. In Japan, it is focused on candidates of foreign nurses and long-term care workers are migrated from Indonesia and Philippines based on the EPA, and settled foreigners who are working as home helpers.

The purpose of this study is to describe the peculiarity practices of the people who left the Hansen's disease sanatorium, and to consider the social background and result of these practices. Result of this study, though the isolation policy has already been abolished, the people are doing the peculiarity practices for using medical treatments. These practices have been derived because of the maintaining of the difficult situations which surrounded the people: "stigma of Hansen's disease" and "situation of unevenly concentrating medical knowledge". It is true that the practices are necessary to continue the lives at the outside of sanatorium. However, there is also the dilemmatic result that the practices reproduce these difficult situations. To solve these difficult situations is not the responsibility of the people who left the Hansen's disease sanatorium. It is our responsibility.

Titled "Rights Here, Right Now", the main theme of the conference was human rights and stigma on HIV/AIDS, and many researchers, activists, and policy makers discussed those topics multidisciplinary. Stigma related to HIV/AIDS has been broadly recognized as a disincentive of the efforts to prevent and treat HIV/AIDS, and as such it is worth to include it in the public health perspectives. This report, in particular, is concerned with how vulnerable people living with HIV/AIDS around the world have faced stigma, and reviews studies of stigma on HIV/AIDS as well.
