Recently, the number of students who can develop applications that can actually be used has increased. We thought that this power could be used for regional revitalization, we tried to connect the students the region. As a result, we were able to create some interesting applications, some of which have become widely used in practice. For students, before going out to society, they can work on practical application development know what kind of ingenuity is necessary to get them to actually use it. Although quality is not necessarily guaranteed in rural areas, the possibility of using the latest AI technology at a short development time at a low cost was shown.

Several e-mails were exchanged between Prof. Schick I (YS) about our views of the periodic heating method. Prof. Schick has been working on the periodic heating method extensively organized Lähnwitzseminar known as the leading conference in this field.

Filipinos who have settled in Japan as residents were interviewed between June to August 2011. The purpose of these interviews was to gather first-hand accounts of survivors about the March 11, 2011, magnitude 9 earthquake that triggered one of the worst tsunami events in Japan’s history. It is important to document what survivors have learned

these events. Considering how infrequently tsunami events occur in the Philippines, lessons these descriptive narratives could become a valuable information resource for the Philippines population that might experience tsunami-generating earthquakes in the future, especially because first-hand accounts by Filipinos living abroad would be easy for those living in the Philippines to relate to. This documentation has focused on how Filipinos in Japan were affected, what actions they took during the event, their prior knowledge of earthquake tsunami preparedness, how they survived recovered. Important actions highlighting what to do include the following five: (i) attending taking part in community awareness activities, (ii) preparing emergency bags holding useful items such as flashlights, food water, protection against the cold, (iii) using mobile phones, (iv) paying attention to warnings, (v) relying on multiple information sources such as television, radio, community sirens or public address systems, local fire units. Although simple, these actions could save lives in critical times. The lessons they teach show what to do what NOT to do during earthquakes tsunami warnings. What NOT to do includes the following:

(1) Do NOT panic.

(2) Do NOT return home to pick anyone or anything up, especially if

live near the coast.

(3) Do NOT drive or use a car when evacuating.

First of all I wish to very much for your kind invitation to me to speak to during the 32nd Annual Congress of the Japanese Orthoptic Association. I already have a personal relationship to Nagoya through Professor Awaya, who has visited us in Tübingen very often with whom I have already had the pleasure of many interesting professional non-professional conversations. Therefore, it is a particular pleasure for me my wife to visit your city see it with our own eyes on our first visit to Japan.
Mrs. Hirai very kindly allowed me to choose the topic of this paper. Inasmuch as I am a pupil of Elfriede Aulhorn, who succumbed to a serious disease this year, of Heinrich Harms, can easily understand that my lecture will deal with the visual field, in particular the visual field of squinters during the act of binocular vision.

In medical

scientific fields, especially, undergraduates have little time for overseas study. Emphasizing glocal benefits, our university local businesses developed highly subsidized short-term international PBL programs. While, culturally, “small town” means something different in Japan than Hawai`i, we contrasted these cultures through various programs designed for mutually beneficial learning experiences. This paper analyzes the effect that participating in such programs has had on their lives experiences based on questionnaire responses interviews of participants, working or in graduate programs. Using the respondents’ own words, the authors describe how the PBL impacted their lives. The authors further discuss lessons learned offer suggestions, a template, for other university educators in a position to create similar projects for their students.

Malaria is the one of major diseases which threatens people’s life in Africa. Out of humanitarianism, Chinese scientists has contributed to research of Artemisinin ACTS more than 30 years, China provides long-term antimalaria assistance to Africa gain great achievements. In Moheli, the island of Comoros, the antimalaria group used a new strategy which universal medication proactive intervention. They established not only an effective antimalaria system reporting system but also a local antimalaria team. Furthermore, they enhanced publicity put mass protection treatment into effect. Finally, they achieved significant result. In order to apply those successful experience to other countries in Africa, this paper summed up those experience inspirations.

The World Health Organization (WHO) has, for some time, encouraged countries endemic for schistosomiasis to control morbidity this disease through mass drug administration (MDA) of the well-tolerated drug, praziquantel (PZQ). With the London Declaration in January 2012 the promise by Merck Serono to eventually donate 250 million PZQ tablets per year, most endemic countries in sub-Saharan Africa have developed national plans to do MDA for schistosomiasis morbidity control. More recently, based on two World Health Assembly (WHA) resolutions (WHA 54.19 & WHA 65.21) on schistosomiasis, countries are further encouraged to eliminate schistosomiasis, where feasible. The fight against schistosomiasis is therefore in a critical period of tremendous opportunities equal challenges. How do we do the most effective job of MDA? What tools do we need to do this job better? How will we know when to move morbidity control to elimination? What combinations of interventions, beyond MDA, are needed to eliminate transmission? The Schistosomiasis Consortium for Operational Research Evaluation (SCORE) has its Secretariat at the University of Georgia with programs in more than 26 institutions in 19 countries it is trying to answer these very practical questions through multiple large field-based studies the evaluation or development of better diagnostics for schistosomiasis. This presentation will summarize the current status of morbidity control elimination programs the operational research by SCORE that we hope will provide much-needed answers for national program managers so they can most effectively pursue these critical public health programs.

Ghost is a popular word game played by two or more players. Players take turns adding a letter to the end of a growing word fragment, trying not to be the first to complete a valid word. We show that the game, when played on a regular language, is PSPACE-hard, extend the result to four variants of the game. In addition, we take advantage of a quirk of the German language — that German words can be concatenated together to form longer words — to give a fun extension of our proof of PSPACE-hardness to subsets of the German language.
