Third-Party Market Cooperation between China and Japan in ASEAN under "the Belt and Road" Initiative: Background, Opportunities and Challenges
Full text linkChina and Japan signed the "Memorandum of Third-Party Market Cooperation between China and Japan" on May 9, 2018. It marked Sino-Japanese economic and trade relations formally changed from competition to cooperation. As an economy with great market potential and keeping close contact with China and Japan, ASEAN has become the first choice for the third-party market cooperation. In this context, this article studied the progress, feasibility, opportunities and challenges of China-Japan third-party market cooperation in ASEAN. The
research results show that China-Japan third-party market cooperation has made important progress in establishing cooperation mechanisms, determining cooperation mode, and delineating priority cooperation areas. Besides, China and Japan jointly explore and develop the ASEAN market is not only beneficial to China's industrial upgrading and Japan's economic revitalization, but also promoting ASEAN's vision of interconnectivity planning. However, China-Japan cooperation in ASEAN also faces some challenges, such as lack of cooperation
experience, interference from political factors, etc. China and Japan should work together to
seek common ground while reserving differences

No full textEnvironmental Remediation of the difficult-to-return zone in Tomioka Town, Fukushima Prefecture
Full text linkTemporal variations in ambient dose rates in a restricted area designated as “difficult-to-return” for residents of Tomioka Town, Fukushima Prefecture were evaluated in a car-borne survey during 2018–2019. The median dose rates in the “Decontaminated area” in the difficult-to-return zone decreased rapidly from 1.0 μSv/h to 0.32 μSv/h; however, the median dose rates in the “Non-decontaminated area” and “Radioactive waste storage area” fluctuated between 1.1–1.4 μSv/h and 0.46–0.61 μSv/h, respectively. The detected rate of the cesium-137 (137Cs) (137Cs-detected points per all measuring points) in the “Decontaminated area” also decreased rapidly from 64% to 6.7%,accompany with decreasing in ambient dose rates. On the other hand, the detection of 137Cs in the “Radioactive waste storage area”and “Non-decontaminated area” decreased from 53% to 17% and 93% to 88%, respectively. We confirmed that the dose rates in the Decontaminated area dramatically decreased due to decontamination work aiming to help residents return home. Moreover, the estimated external exposure dose of workers during the present survey was 0.66 mSv/y in the Decontaminated area and 0.55 mSv/y in the Radioactive waste storage area, respectively. This case of Tomioka Town within the “difficult-to-return zone” may be the first reconstruction model for evaluating environmental contamination and radiation exposure dose rates due to artificial radionuclides derived from the nuclear disaster
Changes in nutritional status of children who lived in temporary shelters in Bhaktapur municipality after the 2015 Nepal earthquake
Full text linkBackground: The nutritional status of children may deteriorate after natural disasters such as earthquakes. A 7.8 Richter scale earthquake struck Nepal in 2015 that affected 1.1 million children. Children whose homes were destroyed and had to live in temporary shelters were at risk of malnutrition. With the support of Nagasaki University School of Tropical Medicine and Global Health (TMGH) and Siddhi Memorial Hospital (SMH), we conducted a nutritional survey of under-5 children living in temporary shelters in Bhaktapur Municipality in 2015 immediately after the earthquake and a follow-up survey in 2017. Results: We found 591 under-5 children living in 22 temporary shelters in 2015. A total of 285 children were followed up and re-assessed in 2017. In a paired analysis (n = 285), the prevalence of underweight children increased from 10.9% in 2015 to 14.0% in 2017 (P < 0.001), stunting increased from 26.7 to 31.9% (P = 0.07), and wasting decreased from 4.2 to 2.5% (P = 0.19). Conclusions: Children who lived in temporary shelters after the 2015 Nepal earthquake might be at increased risk of a deterioration in nutritional status
Epidemiological and clinical characteristics of patients with suspected COVID-19 admitted in Metro Manila, Philippines
Full text linkBackground: Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has spread to almost every region and country in the world, leading to widespread travel restrictions and national lockdowns. Currently, there are limited epidemiological and clinical data on COVID-19 patients from low and middle-income countries. We conducted a retrospective single-center study of the first 100 individuals with suspected COVID-19 (between Jan. 25 and Mar. 29, 2020) admitted to San Lazaro Hospital (SLH), the national infectious diseases referral hospital in Manila, Philippines. Results: Demographic data, travel history, clinical features, and outcomes were summarized and compared between COVID-19 confirmed and non-confirmed cases. The first two confirmed cases were Chinese nationals, admitted on Jan. 25. The third confirmed case was a Filipino, admitted on Mar. 8. Trends toward confirmed COVID-19 cases not reporting international travel and being admitted to SLH from the densely populated area of Manila city were observed during Mar. 8-29. All 42 of the 100 confirmed COVID-19 cases were adults, 40% were aged 60 years and above and 55% were male. Three were health workers. Among individuals with suspected COVID-19, confirmed cases were more likely to be older, Filipino, not report international travel history and have at least one underlying disease,particularly diabetes, report difficulty in breathing, and a longer duration of symptoms. In over 90% of non-COVID-19 cases, the alternative diagnosis was respiratory. Nine (21%) confirmed cases died. The median duration from symptoms onset to death was 11.5 (range: 8-18) days. Conclusions: Imported COVID-19 cases have reduced but local transmission persists and there is a trend toward cases being admitted to SLH from densely populated areas. This study highlights the difficulty in diagnosing COVID-19 on clinical grounds and the importance of diagnostic capacity in all settings. Difficulty of breathing was the only symptom associated with COVID-19 infection and should alert clinicians to the possibility of COVID-19. Clinical characteristics of confirmed COVID-19 cases and a hospital case fatality rate of 21% are comparable with other settings
