Food-Related Industry Food-related Industry Accumulation of food-related industries that utilize the Hokkaido's original food function display system ("Healthy Do") - the first in Japan! abundance of safe marine and agricultural resources With health-consciousness increasing in recent years, there has been a call to provide detailed information on products such as health foods so that consumers can select products that suit their preferences. In April 2013, Hokkaido began a food function display system (Healthy Do), in which the Hokkaido government grants certification for Largest Food Supplying Region in Japan Fishing Industry of Hokkaido ‒ functional ingredients of products such as health food if scientific research relating to health management is conducted. A certification mark from the Hokkaido government is the Island Surrounded by Oceans placed on qualifying products. Hokkaido's foods already have a reputation for being safe, trustworthy and delicious. This system adds new value in the form of health benefits.

  • 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.

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.

  • 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.

  • The Development of Hokkaido's Urban System
    Title The Development of Hokkaido's Urban System Author(s) Hatano, Masataka; Yamada, Makoto Citation 北海道大学人文科学論集, 17, 23-34 Issue Date 1980-03-28 Doc URL http://hdl.handle.net/2115/34353 Type bulletin (article) File Information 17_PL23-34.pdf Instructions for use Hokkaido University Collection of Scholarly and Academic Papers : HUSCAP THE DEVELOPMENT OF HOKKAIDO'S URBAN SYSTEM* Masataka HATANO and Makoto YAMADA ** I. INTRODUCTION Hokkaido is the second largest of the Japanese islands with an area of 78,513 km2 and a population estimated at 5,576,110 persons according to the 1980 census. Therefore the population density of this island is about 71 persons per square kilometer. When one considers that the population density of the rest of Japan (south of the Tsugaru Strait) is approximately 380 persons per square kilometer, Hokkaido is obviously a relatively sparcely settled region. The reason for Hokkaido's settlement being less dense than the rest of Japan can be attributed to severe physical conditions, the short history of colonization and an economic structure which is characterized by a low ratio of manufacturing industry. The purpose of this paper is to outline the development of the urban system in this unique region during the last century. II. CHANGE IN THE URBAN RANK-SIZE RELATIONSHIP, 1879-1960 At first we will examine the urban rank-size relationship from 1879 to 1960 ( Fig.1 ). In 1879, Hakodate, Fukuyama and Esashi, which had been unban areas since the Tokugawa era, dominated the other small towns and villages. The city size gap between Esashi and the fourth largest town, Otaru, was remarkable.

  • 2020 Annual Report
    Hokkaido International Exchange and Cooperation Center 2020 Annual Report Hokkaido International Exchange and Cooperation Center (HIECC) History of HIECC The northern regions concept and the establishment of the Northern Regions Center The northern regions concept was first introduced in 1971 in the Third-term Hokkaido Comprehensive Development Plan (– 1977), a long-term road map for the development of Hokkaido. This concept aimed to improve Hokkaido’s industrial economy, the lives of Hokkaido residents and its culture and advance local development suitable to the northern region through exchanges with the United States, Canada and Northern European countries with highly developed cultures in the same snowy cold climate as that of Hokkaido. As a body to promote this concept, the Northern Regions Research Council was established along with the aforementioned comprehensive development plan. The council was approved as an incorporated body in January 1972, and the Northern Regions Information Center was also established in November 1976. These organizations were developmentally reorganized, and the Northern Regions Center (NRC) was launched in April 1978. NRC developed wide exchange activities that focus on northern regions as a unique international organization with think tank, data bank and exchange functions. In July of the same year, the Northern Regions Exchange Foundation was also established to provide financial support to private exchange programs with northern regions. Expansion of international exchange and cooperation activities The marked progress of globalization from the 1990s onward further intensified interdependent relationships in the international community, and raised expectations for international cooperation in local communities. While maintaining existing relationships with northern countries, NRC also partly revised its articles of incorporation in June 1995 to expand the scope of its activities to other regions.

  • 260 Does Baseline Prostate Volume Affect the Short

Hokkaido Health Insurance Hospital, 4. Esashi Prefectural Hospital, 5. Yakumo General Hospital, 6. Akabira City General Hospital, 7. Muroran City Hospital DOES BASELINE PROSTATE VOLUME AFFECT THE SHORT-TERM OUTCOME OF TAMSULOSIN? Hypothesis / aims of study Surprisingly few studies have investigated the relationship between baseline prostate volume (PV) and the short-term outcome of alpha1-blocker use,even though the use of alpha1-blockers is recommended as the first-line medical treatment in several guidelines. In the present study, we evaluated the short-term outcome of tamsulosin according to baseline PV using the same cohort of patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH)/lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) enrolled in the 5-year prospective study.1 Study design, materials and methods 112 patients aged 50 years or older who had BPH/LUTS and an International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS) ≥ 8 were prospectively enrolled in a multicenter study.1 At baseline, the patients underwent symptomatic examination using the IPSS, BPH problem index (BPI) and QOL index. PV (ml) was determined by transrectal ultrasound using the formula; 0.523 x anteroposterior diameter (cm) x transverse diameter (cm) x longitudinal diameter (cm).
