Tohoku Electric Power Group INTEGRATED REPORT 2019 Message from the Chairman and the President Introduction About Tohoku Electric Power Tohoku About Message from the Chairman and the President Thank you very much for your continued support. The Tohoku Electric Power Group has been working as one to develop together with Strategies local communities, with its sense of mission as a public utility and its commitment to local communities always kept in mind, ever since its foundation in 1951. The circumstances surrounding the electric power business have changed significantly at different times. However, we have always worked hard to address a range of business challenges and Growth Continued for Foundations create new value for offering stable and high quality electricity. At the moment, our Group is experiencing the most extreme changes ever in the business environment. As an electric utility serving Tohoku and Niigata, we should respond appropriately and promptly to intensifying competition in the fully deregulated retail electric supply market and the legal unbundling of the transmission and distribution sectors due to take place in April 2020 while supporting the reconstruction following the 2011 Great East Japan Earthquake. For this purpose, we formulated the Tohoku Electric Power Group Mid- Term Management Policies (FY2017 to FY2020), and accordingly, we have been steadily carrying out different measures. Information Financial For 2019, in particular, we have defined four focal points for ensuring the achievement of the target set in the Mid-Term Management Policies. Specifically, they are thoroughly enhancing ability to produce profits, improving further productivity and efficiency, endeavoring to seize new business opportunities and establishing robust business foundations.

Morioka! from Now On, We Introduce Our Morioka! Morioka Is Surrounded by Three Rivers
This Guidebook is produced by the junior high school affiliated with the faculty of education, Iwate University. School Introduction There are 459 students in our school. Many students in this school study hard every day. And after school, we enjoy each club activity. Actually we have some differences from others. Tradition We try many activities. In particular, chorus, cleaning and publicity activities are important for us. •Chorus We have chorus practices every day. And in school festival in October, we join a chorus competition. All of the classes show how hard they’ve practiced and listen to other classes’ chorus. •Cleaning We have a cleaning time every day. We clean many places such as our classrooms, toilet and special classrooms. When we clean the floor, we put down our knees on the floor and use wiping rags. We concentrate to do each task of cleaning. So we can brush up our mind as well as our school. •Newspaper writing activities There are some groups in a class. We often make newspaper in each group. They have not only information but also each opinion. We can learn many things by reaching them each other. Our school is 71 years old. These activities have long histories and have become better and better for a long time as one of the cultures. So we call them “Three important culture”. Human seminar This is a very unique subject. In this class, we try many activities. We often have a lecture meeting and learn about others way of lives. We talk about many things and exchange each opinion.

Miocene Shallow Marine Molluscs from the Hokutan Group in the Tajima Area, Hyôgo Prefecture, Southwest Japan
Bulletin of the Mizunami Fossil Museum, no. 37, p. 51–113, 9 pls., 2 ﬁ gs., 1 table. © 2011, Mizunami Fossil Museum Miocene shallow marine molluscs from the Hokutan Group in the Tajima area, Hyôgo Prefecture, southwest Japan Takashi Matsubara Division of Natural History, Museum of Nature and Human Activities, Hyogo, 6 Yayoigaoka, Sanda 669-1546, Japan <[email protected]> Abstract A taxonomical study of molluscs from the Miocene Hokutan Group was carried out and their paleobiogeographic implication was discussed. A total of 100 species, including 45 species of Gastropoda, 54 species of Bivalvia, and one species of Scaphopoda, were discriminated. The fauna is referred to the Kadonosawa Fauna s.s. on the basis of the occurrences of the intertidal “Arcid-Potamid Fauna” and the upper sublittoral Dosinia-Anadara Assemblage. The upper sublittoral assemblages include Turritella (Turritella) kiiensis Yokoyama, Turritella (Hataiella) yoshidai Kotaka, T. (Kurosioia) neiensis Ida, Ostrea sunakozakaensis (Ogasawara), Cucullaea (Cucullaea) toyamaensis Tsuda, Siphonalia osawanoensis Tsuda, and Varicospira toyamaensis (Tsuda). These species are distributed as far north as the southernmost part of northeast Honshû at that time, and their geographic distributions are identical with the Miocene mangrove swamp element. The occurrences of these species strongly support the previous paleoclimatic reconstruction of the Japanese Islands during the latest Early–earliest Middle Miocene age on the basis of the intertidal molluscan assemblages, and show that central and southwest Honshû was under the warmer marine climate than in northeast Honshû and northwards. All the species including a new cardiid, Parvicardium? mikii sp. nov., are described and/or discussed taxonomically.

HFA Irides Review Preliminary Report Focusing on 2011 Great East Japan Earthquake
October, 2013 Having experienced the catastrophic disaster in 2011, Tohoku University has founded the International Research Institute of Disaster Science (IRIDeS). Together with collaborating organizations from many countries and staff with a broad array of specializations, IRIDeS conducts world-leading research on natural disaster science and disaster mitigation. Based on the lessons from the 2011 Great East Japan (Tohoku) Earthquake and Tsunami disaster, IRIDeS aims to become a world center for the study of disasters and disaster mitigation, learning from and building upon past lessons in disaster management from Japan and around the world. Throughout, IRIDeS will contribute to on-going recovery/reconstruction efforts in areas affected by the 2011 tsunami, conducting action-oriented research and pursuing effective disaster management to build a sustainable and resilient society. The 3rd United Nations World Conference on Disaster Risk Reduction 2015 will be held in Sendai City, one of the areas seriously damaged due to the 2011 Great East Japan Earthquake and Tsunami. IRIDeS will play an important role for the conference as an academic organization located in the hosting city. Drafting of this report, focusing on the 2011 Great East Japan Earthquake and Tsunami in terms of the core indicators of the Hyogo Framework for Action 2005-2015, is one of the contributory activities to the forthcoming event. This publication is the preliminary report toward the final issue, which will be released in March 2014. We hope that the Japanese experience of past disasters including the Great East Japan Earthquake and Tsunami will be shared among national/local governments, the private sector, and citizens all over the world.

As a result of frequent changes of identification especially between T. japonica forma formosa and T. musashiensis, the range of each taxon has been drastically updated. The hybrid was recorded in 32 prefectures in total, including newly added 25 prefectures. Key words : distribution, hybrid, spore, Thelypteris.
