the huge earthquake in 11 march 2012 which followed by a destructive tsunami in japan was largest recorded earthquake in the history. japan is pioneer in disaster management, especially earthquakes. how this developed country faced this disaster, which had significant worldwide effects? the humanitarian behavior of the japanese people amazingly wondered the word's media, meanwhile the managemen...

background: hydrogen sulfide (h2s) suicides have been frequent in japan in recent years. this study was performed to describe the epidemiologic profile of an outbreak of h2s suicides in japan. methods: in september 2008, questionnaires about patients involved in h2s suicides were sent to 250 hospitals in japan. data collected from each patient included gender, age, clinical manifestations, date...

Japan, known as a pro-choice country in terms of abortion, is currently facing the increase of “selective abortions” thanks to new prenatal screening. Efforts to restrict proliferation of new technology has not been successful and it is likely that Japan will turn pro-life by strictly enforcing the Maternity Protection Act (MPA), which prohibits abortions due to “fetal cause”.

japan can be considered as a very important and successful example for transfering management methods, for all countries in the world, whether it is developed or in the developing stages, in our country also great attentions have been paid to japanese management techniques, but unfortunately some of these interpretations have been incomplete, blind- foldness and without knowing the -suitability...

Earthquake early warning studies are shifting real-time seismology in earthquake science. They provide methods to rapidly assess earthquakes to predict damaging ground shaking. Preventing false alarms from these systems is key. Here we developed a simple, robust algorithm, Authorizing GRound shaking for Earthquake Early warning Systems (AGREEs), to reduce falsely issued alarms. This is a networ...

[1] The real-time earthquake information system (REIS) of the Japanese seismic network is developed for automatically determining earthquake parameters within a few seconds after the P-waves arrive at the closest stations using both the P-wave arrival times and the timing data that P-waves have not yet arrived at other stations. REIS results play a fundamental role in the real-time information ...
