1. Name: Liza Esther ALEXANDER （ID No.: SP16001） 2. Current affiliation: Iowa State University, Iowa, USA 3. Research fields and specialties: Biological Sciences 4. Host institution: RIKEN- Center for Sustainable Resource, Kanagawa, Japan. 5. Host researcher: Dr. Kazuki SAITO (Group Director), Dr. Yozo OKAZAKI (Research scientist) 6. Description of your current research My PhD research is being conducted under the supervision of Dr. Basil J. Nikolau at Iowa State University (ISU), in the interdepartmental program of Molecular, Cellular and Developmental Biology. Plant epidermal cells express unique molecular machinery that juxtaposes the assembly of intracellular lipid components and the unique extracellular lipids that are unidirectionally secreted to the surface of the plant. The overarching objective of my project is to functionally characterize the genetic and metabolic networks that interrelate the intracellular and extracellular lipid metabolism. Physiologically this lipid-trafficking process is genetically programmed, but can change in response to environmental pressures (e.g., drought, temperature, pathogens), making them important to agricultural crop productivity. Additionally, these lipids are chemically most akin to petroleum hydrocarbons making this research insightful towards the development of biorenewable fuels and chemicals. My research builds on past research developments at ISU that has been and continues to be supported by the National Science Foundation (NSF) and the Department Of Energy (DOE). Specifically, ISU has

Il “Soft Lockdown” Giapponese: Un Approccio “Etico” All’Emergenza Sanitaria? Di Elisa Bertolini •
Il “soft lockdown” giapponese: un approccio “etico” all’emergenza sanitaria? di Elisa Bertolini • Abstract: The Soft Japanese Lockdown: an Ethic Approach to the Emergency? – The Japanese government reaction to the growing threat to public health posed by the Covid-19 pandemic has puzzled foreign observers. Indeed, even after the nationwide declaration of emergency, the measures that can be adopted by both the central and local government have no binding force. In other words, they can only request people to self-isolate at home, without any sanction in case of violation. Hence, the Japanese experience can be defined as a soft lockdown, in comparison with both the Western and the Chinese hard one. The article, after having provided a constitutional and legislative framework, analyses the impact of the emergency declaration on the branches of government and on the private sphere and discusses the Japanese lockdown as an ethical rather than a legal lockdown. 2095 Keywords: Declaration of Emergency; Non-binding Measures; Self-isolation; Ethic Lockdown; Proportionality. 1. Introduzione La gestione giapponese della pandemia di Covid-19 si distingue in maniera significativa da quella messa in opera sia dagli altri Paesi del G7 che dai Paesi dell’area geografica di riferimento, l’Asia estremo-orientale e del sud-est. Se la linea d’azione dei primi si è sostanziata nel c.d. hard lockdown, i secondi - salvo la Cina che, nella provincia dello Hubei, ha adottato entrambe le strategie - hanno preferito ricorrere, per quanto non in via esclusiva, alla tecnologia. Diversamente il Giappone, che non ha perseguito nessuna di queste due vie.

Women Leading Climate Action
Taking the lead for inclusion: Women leading climate action High-level roundtable, 26 June 2019 Daisen-In Temple Open forum, 27 June 2019 Kyoto University Kyoto On the eve of the G20 Summit, the Women’s Forum Kyoto will take place 22 years after the birth of the landmark Kyoto Protocol, in the historic Daisen-In Temple. Our urgent mission is to amplify the voice and vision of women, and highlight their added value in tackling climate change, where their leadership is paramount. Around the world, international institutions, governments and communities increasingly acknowledge that women are disproportionately affected by climate change. But at the same time, women are also making ground-breaking contributions to climate action in international diplomacy, legal and policy innovation, and science and technology, among other fields. But what comes next? ‘Business as usual’ doesn’t just apply to fossil fuels. What are the risks of a business-as-usual approach to gender if the pace of gender inclusion remains slow and where women’s leadership is not a core part of climate action? Is it possible to have a sustainable future without gender equality? Conversely, how can gender inclusion and women’s leadership speed up the transition to a green economy – a transition urgently needed to protect against catastrophic climate change? The Women’s Forum’s Daring Circle on Women & Climate seeks those answers and examines the critical relationship between women’s empowerment and climate action. We have identified key areas - finance and entrepreneurship, access to energy, and STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) skills – where women’s access and participation accelerate the green economy transition.

Male Leaders' Challenges to Promote Women's Active Participation in Japan
第１デ会田「輝く女性の活躍を加速する男性リーダーの会」行動宣言賛同者による活躍推進報告書2018【表紙】／英語版（A3・420×297） C MYK 初校 2016.11.27 Male leaders’ challenges to promote women’s active participation in Japan December 2018 A Group of Male Leaders Who will Create a Society in which Women Shine Gender Equality Bureau, Cabinet Office Introduction In June 2014, nine male leaders known for their advocacy of women’s empowerment jointly formulated and announced the“Declaration on Action by a Group of Male Leaders Who Will Create a Society in Which Women Shine.” Four and a half years later, the Declaration is now supported by more than 200 male leaders. During these years, Japanese women’s social advancement has steadily progressed, as shown by a number of positive indicators, including women’s employment rate and percentage of female managers. These developments have had benefi cial eff ects on individual organizations, promoting workforce diversity and driving added value creation. In order to encourage and enable more women to develop and demonstrate their full potential, organizational leaders should be aware of this issue and take appropriate action. This report summarizes the group members’ initiatives and actions taken based on the Declaration as well as their inspirations and impetus. It is hoped that this publication will facilitate the sharing of male leaders’ thoughts and approaches concerning women’s empowerment, thereby inspiring and helping leaders to accelerate their eff orts toward a society where women shine. This report has been created based on responses to the survey conducted in September 2018. 第1デ会田 2018.12.03 初校 K ＹＭＣ _hokoku01_en.indd 1000 2019/01/16 18:50 Ｅ̶8572 内閣府「輝く女性の活躍を加速する男性リーダーの会」行動宣言賛同者による女性の活躍推進報告書2018_英語版_A4（4×4c） The “Declaration on Action by A Group of Male Leaders Who will Create a Society in Which Women Shine” ● 1 ● _hokoku01_en.indd 1 2019/01/16 18:50 Inspirations and impetus, Initiatives and actions taken.
