A successful model of regional healthcare information exchange in Japan: Case Study in Kagawa Prefecture
No full textIn this study, we focused on analysis of healthcare data exchange over the network. For the advance of broadband capability development, many governments expect online medical information exchange between medical institutions. Japanese government also has tried to deploy ICT in the healthcare field. In Japan, many healthcare ICT projects started, but almost of all the projects face many issues and failed to continue. This situation caused us to clarify the success factor of healthcare information exchange network. For inspecting the success factors, we analyzed information access of healthcare systems in Kagawa prefecture of Japan. Kagawa prefecture is one of the most advance areas for healthcare information technology. We analyzed four medical ICT projects in Kagawa prefecture: K-MIX, Critical Pathway for Diabetes, E-prescription, and PHR. In addition, we inspected characteristics of exchanged data in the network, and stakeholder involved in these projects. This analysis lets us find various types of healthcare ICT projects. Characteristic of data processed in the projects caused differences of characteristic of the projects. On the other hand, multiple systems process same data, though the project does not share the data itself. Considering various types of medical information exchanges projects, we propose classification and standard format of exchanged data according to their characteristic are critical for efficient business deployment. --e-Health,regional healthcare information exchange,EHR

Donner de la voix aux mythes (extrait) : Satoshi Miyagi ou la dramaturgie des ombres: Donner de la voix aux mythes (extrait) : Satoshi Miyagi ou la dramaturgie des ombres
No full textInternational audienceDirector Satoshi Miyagi made a name in France with his staging of Mahabaratha, created in 2006 for the inauguration of the Claude Lévi-Strauss Theater at the Musée du Quai Branly in Paris and then programmed at the Festival d'Avignon in 2014 in the carrière Boulbon. The Musée du Quai Branly invited him back in 2016 for a creation specially conceived for the Théâtre Claude Lévi-Strauss, to mark the museum's 10th anniversary: Le lièvre blanc d'Inaba et des Navajos (The White Hare of Inaba and the Navajo), a cross between anthropological writings on Amerindian myths and their universality by Claude Lévi-Strauss and traditional Japanese tales. He returned to the Festival d'Avignon, at the invitation of Olivier Py, with a masterful and memorable performance of Sophocles' Antigone in the courtyard of the Palais des Papes in 2017. Invited by Wajdi Mouawad to the Théâtre de la Colline in Paris in 2018, he created Révélation Red in blue trilogy by Léonora Miano, a French-Cameroonian author. Then in March 2022, he returns to the Musée du Quai Branly with the epic of Gilgamesh. He follows this up with Mozart's opera seria Idomeneo, Re di Creta at the Festival d'Aix-en-Provence. Idomeneo is his first work for opera in Europe, followed by Mitridate Re di Ponto, another Mozart opera seria re-presented in December 2022 at Berlin's Staatsoper Unter den Linden.His theater conjures up a dramaturgy of shadows and spirits, whether earthly (wandering souls, ancestors) or from nature, in a holistic animist perspective specific to Japanese culture and its various communities. Indeed, for him, "Acting, whatever the piece, means summoning the absent - usually the dead - to return to us. (...) The shows we create are intended precisely to dialogue with and delight these souls from different parts of the planet and different eras. (...) The actors function as a 'window' enabling the spectators to meet the spirits of the absent." His approach aims to open up the public's perceptions, in a non-anthropocentric, holistic way. In addition to his work as a director, Satoshi Miyagi coordinates the annual Shizuoka International Theatre Festival in Japan, inviting artists from all horizons to present and create shows in a spirit of cultural dialogue.Le metteur en scène Satoshi Miyagi s’est fait connaître en France avec sa mise en scène du Mahabaratha créée en 2006 pour l’inauguration du théâtre Claude Lévi-Strauss au musée du Quai Branly à Paris puis programmé au Festival d’Avignon en 2014 dans la carrière Boulbon. Le musée du Quai Branly l’invite à nouveau en 2016 pour une création spécialement conçue pour le théâtre Claude Lévi-Strauss, à l’occasion des 10 ans du musée : Le lièvre blanc d’Inaba et des Navajos, composée de croisements entre les écrits anthropologiques sur les mythes amérindiens et leur universalité par Claude Lévi-Strauss et les contes traditionnels japonais. Il revient au Festival d’Avignon, à l’invitation d’Olivier Py, avec une magistrale et mémorable Antigone de Sophocle dans la cour du Palais des Papes en 2017. Invité par Wajdi Mouawad au Théâtre de la Colline à Paris en 2018, il crée Révélation Red in blue trilogie de Léonora Miano, une autrice franco-camerounaise. Puis en mars 2022, avec l’épopée de Gil-gamesh, il revient au musée du Quai Branly. Il enchaine avec l’opéra Idomeneo, Re di Creta, un opéra seria de Mozart au Festival d’Aix-en-Provence. Idomeneo constitue le premier tra-vail pour l’opéra en Europe, suivi par Mitridate Re di Ponto, autre opéra seria de Mozart re-présenté en décembre 2022 au Staatsoper Unter den Linden, l’opéra de Berlin.Son théâtre convoque une dramaturgie des ombres, des esprits, qu’ils soient terrestres (âmes errantes, ancêtres) ou issus de la nature dans une perspective animiste holistique propre à la culture japonaise et à ses différentes communautés. En effet, pour lui « Jouer signifie, quelle que soit la pièce, convoquer des absents – des morts, le plus souvent – pour les faire revenir parmi nous. (…) Les spectacles que nous créons sont justement destinés à dialoguer avec ces âmes venues de diverses régions de la planète et de diverses époques, et à les réjouir. (…) Les acteurs fonctionnent comme une « fenêtre » permettant la rencontre entre les spectateurs et les esprits des absents. » Sa démarche souhaite ouvrir les percep-tions du public, dans une approche non anthropocentrique et holistique. Outre son activité de metteur en scène, Satoshi Miyagi coordonne chaque année le festival international de théâtre de Shizuoka au Japon, invitant des artistes de tous horizons à présenter et créer des spectacles dans un esprit de dialogue des cultures

Some infectious diseases in wildlife can also affect livestock, posing significant problems for the animal farming industry. In Japan, classical swine fever (CSF) reemerged in September 2018. Given the availability of commercial vaccines, control measures mainly involve the vaccination of domestic pigs and the distribution of oral vaccines to wild boars. Despite these efforts, the disease continues to spread, primarily due to wild boars. This transmission is further exacerbated by Japan’s challenging geography—about 66% forested—making many areas difficult to access and leading to spatial bias in surveillance. As a result, the epidemic situation cannot be fully understood, limiting the effectiveness of control measures. This study estimated wild boar distribution using a species distribution model (SDM) that incorporates geographic bias correction. Two maximum entropy (MaxEnt) models—a standard model and a reporting bias-corrected model—were developed using wild boar observation data from Aichi Prefecture. Both models demonstrated excellent prediction accuracy (area under the curve [AUC] of 0.946 and 0.946, sensitivity of 0.868 and 0.943, and specificity of 0.999 and 0.991), with the most influential variables identified in a similar order (solar radiation in November, followed by elevation, precipitation during the wettest quarter, and solar radiation in August). While both models identified high-probability areas in the east, the bias-corrected model also revealed expanded high-probability zones in the northeast. During the epidemic phases, protecting farms takes priority; however, in eradication phases, control measures must also target wild boar habitats in forested areas. By using open-access environmental data, this modeling approach can be applied to other regions. Accurate estimation of wild boar distribution can contribute to improving wildlife disease surveillance and optimizing oral vaccine delivery strategiesDepto. de Sanidad AnimalFac. de VeterinariaTRUEpu
