  • Support for Workers Displaced in the Decline of the Japanese Coal Industry: Formal and Informal Support Naoko Shimazaki Waseda University
    Support for Workers Displaced in the Decline of the Japanese Coal Industry: Formal and Informal Support Naoko Shimazaki Waseda University Japan’s coal industry met its demise following a number of stages of restruc- turing under policies to change the structure of the energy industry. More than 200,000 coal mine workers were displaced from 1955 onward. The task of providing measures for displaced workers was recognized as an issue to be addressed at national level and such initiatives were considered to have con- siderable significance for the interests of society as a whole. This led to the development of substantial support systems of the kind not seen in other in- dustries, and comprehensive measures were adopted to cover not only reemployment, but also relocation, housing, and vocational training. However, fundamental issues faced by the unemployed were left unresolved. Formal support therefore in fact relied on the strength of individual companies and re- gional communities, and developed distinct characteristics. The insufficiencies of the formal support systems were compensated for by informal support based on personal relationships which were characteristic of the unique culture of coal mining. In particular, there was a strong sense of solidarity among fel- low mine workers. The support for displaced workers included not only finan- cial assistance, but also individual support, such as individual counselling and employment assistance provided by former coal mine employees acting as counselors. The labor unions played a central role in developing these measures. Such support was very strongly in tune with the workers’ culture generated within coal mining communities. I. Coal Policy and Measures for Displaced Workers in Japan The coal industry is a typical example of industrial restructuring in Japan.

    Iwasaki et al. Earth, Planets and Space (2019) 71:103 https://doi.org/10.1186/s40623-019-1081-z FRONTIER LETTER Open Access Structural heterogeneity in and around the fold-and-thrust belt of the Hidaka Collision zone, Hokkaido, Japan and its relationship to the aftershock activity of the 2018 Hokkaido Eastern Iburi Earthquake Takaya Iwasaki1* , Noriko Tsumura2, Tanio Ito3, Kazunori Arita4, Matsubara Makoto5, Hiroshi Sato1, Eiji Kurashimo1, Naoshi Hirata1, Susumu Abe6, Katsuya Noda7, Akira Fujiwara8, Shinsuke Kikuchi9 and Kazuko Suzuki10 Abstract The Hokkaido Eastern Iburi Earthquake (M 6.7) occurred on Sep. 6, 2018 in the southern part of Central Hokkaido, Japan. Since Paleogene, this region has experienced= the dextral oblique transpression between the Eurasia and North American (Okhotsk) Plates and the subsequent collision between the Northeast Japan Arc and the Kuril Arc due to the oblique subduction of the Pacifc Plate. This earthquake occurred beneath the foreland fold-and-thrust belt of the Hidaka Collision zone developed by the collision process, and is characterized by its deep focal depth (~ 37 km) and complicated rupture process. The reanalyses of controlled source seismic data collected in the 1998–2000 Hokkaido Transect Project revealed the detailed structure beneath the fold-and-thrust belt, and its relationship with the aftershock activity of this earthquake. Our refection processing using the CRS/MDRS stacking method imaged for the frst time the lower crust and uppermost mantle structures of the Northeast Japan Arc underthrust beneath a thick (~ 5–10 km) sedimentary package of the fold-and-thrust belt. Based on the analysis of the refraction/wide- angle refection data, the total thickness of this Northeast Japan Arc crust is only 16–22 km.

Since the first ship entered the port in 1982, the port has enhanced its function as the "international distribution base on the side of the Sea of Japan" for Hokkaido through, for example, the operation of regular container services to East Asia. Recently it started to import LNG and utilize renewable energy in an effort to become an "energy base". The port has been steadily developing, with the stable transition of the volume of cargo handled. In addition, more than seven hundred companies in the manufacturing (machinery, metals and foods), logistics (warehousing and transportation) and other various industries are concentrated in the Ishikari Bay New Port Area, which has been developed around the port.

The aim of this paper is to present and apply a newly developed, adjusted DEA model – emerging from a blend of a Distance Friction Minimization (DFM) and a Goals Achievement (GA) approach on the basis of the Charnes-Cooper-Rhodes (CCR) method – in order to generate a more satisfactory efficiency-improving projection model in conventional DEA. Our DFM model is based on a generalized Euclidean distance minimization and serves to assist a Decision Making Unit (DMU) in improving its performance by the most appropriate movement towards the efficiency frontier surface.

Of these species, T. hakonensis is widely distributed in Japan and is important in commercial and recreational fisheries. Two species, T. hakonensis and T. brandtii, exhibit anadromy. In this paper, information on the protistan and metazoan parasites of the four species of Tribolodon in Japan is compiled based on the literature published for 106 years between 1908 and 2013, and the parasites, including 44 named species and those not identified to species level, are listed by higher taxon as follows: Ciliophora (2 named species), Myxozoa (1), Trematoda (18), Monogenea (0), Cestoda (3), Nematoda (9), Acanthocephala (2), Hirudinida (1), Mollusca (1), Branchiura (0), Copepoda (6 ), and Isopoda (1). For each taxon of parasite, the following information is given: its currently recognized scientific name, previous identification used for the parasite occurring in or on Tribolodon spp.; habitat (freshwater, brackish, or marine); site(s) of infection within or on the host; known geographical distribution in Japan; and the published source of each locality record.

  • Eocene Ostracode Assemblages with Robertsonites from Hokkaido and Their Implications for the Paleobiogeography of Northwestern Pacific
    Bulletin of the Geological Survey of Japan, vol.59 (7/8), p. 369-384, 2008 Eocene ostracode assemblages with Robertsonites from Hokkaido and their implications for the paleobiogeography of Northwestern Pacific Tatsuhiko Yamaguchi1 and Hiroshi Kurita2 Tatsuhiko Yamaguchi and Hiroshi Kurita (2008) Eocene ostracode assemblages with Robertsonites from Hokkaido and their implications for the paleobiogeography of Northwestern Pacific. Bull. Geol. Surv. Japan, vol. 59, (7/8), 369-384, 6 figs., 2 tables, 2 plates, 1 appendix. Abstract: We report on Eocene ostracode species from Hokkaido, northern Japan for the first time and discuss their paleobiogeographic implications. Five species were found in the lower part of the Sankebetsu Formation in the Haboro area, and the Akabira and Ashibetsu Formations in the Yubari area, central Hokkaido. The ostracode assemblages are characterized by Robertsonites, a circumpolar Arctic genus of the modern fauna. This finding marks the southernmost occurrence of the Eocene record of the genus, as well as the oldest occurrence. As the characteristics of the Eocene Hokkaido fauna are similar to those of the modern-day fauna in the Seto Inland Sea, a contrast in species composition is observed between the Seto Inland Sea and Kyushu. This contrast is attributable to differences in sea temperature. Five species are described, including Robertsonites ashibetsuensis sp. nov. Keywords: Eocene, Hokkaido, Ostracoda, paleobiogeography, Robertsonites Seto Inland Sea were located around paleolatitudes of 1. Introduction approximately 33–34 °N and 37–38 °N, respectively We describe the systematics of Eocene ostracodes (Otofuji, 1996). This latitudinal separation between the from Hokkaido, northern Japan, for the first time and two areas would have led to faunal differences due to discuss their paleobiogeographic implications.

  • Current Status of Motorcycle Accidents and Emergency Transport
    ITARDA 21th WorkShop Report Current status of motorcycle accidents and emergency transport Shinji Hamada, Senior Researcher, Research Division 1. Purpose of the study The conditions surrounding motorcycles and motorcycle accidents have been undergoing a drastic transformation in these past few decades. This is thought to have been backed by a number of factors, including: (1) the decline in the population of young people, (2) the diversification in people’s interests, and (3) the adoption of motorcycling as an interest by middle-aged and elderly people. In light of the above, there are calls for the enactment of different traffic measures than those enacted in the past. Conceivable examples of this would include revising countermeasures against motorcycle gangs comprised mainly of minors (lifting entry restrictions to downtown urban areas) and awareness- raising activities for middle-aged and elderly return riders who are taking up motorcycling again after an absence (with measures including rechecking of any decline in their capabilities, etc.). Among these one can glimpse measures that are being handled, even if only in a partial manner. This paper will reaffirm the changes in motorcycle accidents and their recent conditions and characteristics, thereby clarifying the orientation for traffic measures and getting the word on this out to the public that will serve to provide backup in promoting effective traffic measures. One recent initiative begun by the Institute for Traffic Accident Research and Data Analysis (hereafter abbreviated as ITARDA) is an attempt to develop traffic analyses based on a new approach of combining the various traffic accident data possessed by ITARDA with other data (national geographical information, emergency transport information, etc.).
