No full textHousehold and Community Disaster Preparedness in Japanese Provincial City: A Population-Based Household Survey
No full textAbstract Household-and community-level preparedness have been re-emphasized after recent major earthquakes and tsunamis in Japan. The paper examines the prevalence and the determinants of disaster preparedness among the residents of a provincial city in Japan at both levels. Furthermore, it seeks to uncover the associations between household-and community-level preparedness activities to test the hypothesis that a complementary relationship exists between them. We used a subset of a population-based household questionnaire survey of 4000 randomly sampled households in Komoro City in the Nagano Prefecture of Japan in February and March of 2011. The questionnaire included specific questions to measure disaster the preparedness status at both the household and community levels. The characteristics and associations of household-and community-level preparedness were analyzed with multivariable logistic regression models. We found insufficient disaster preparedness at both household and community levels. Older, female, and better educated household heads were associated with better household preparedness, while length at residence, non-single status, presence of an elderly household member, and farming occupations were associated with better community preparedness. Households with one or more household-level preparedness measures were more likely to receive community assistance than those lacking them. The relationship between household and community preparedness was not complementary. Hence, a large proportion of the households were unprepared at both the community and household levels. * Corresponding author. J. Tomio et al. 6

The species is being described by Fricke (2007), based on animals from Príncipe. We have also frequently seen it at São Tomé Island (Figure 17). The record of Apletodon pellegrini from Annobón Island/Equatorial Guinea, by Briggs (1990) may have been based on this species. The first author has recently (February 2007) collected this species near Limbe, Cameroon.Published as part of Peter Wirtz, Carlos Eduardo L. Ferreira, Sergio R.

No full textYeh-ts'ao or "Wild Grass", the collection which contains twentythree poems in prose written in 1924 to 1926, occupies a special place in Lu Hsün's literary works. The basic motif of these prose poems is, according to the author, to express Lu Hsün's desolation and inner conflicts at one particular period of his edge. Lu Hsün, who made his literary debut with "A Madman's Diary" in 1918, continued to write many novels and prose, through which he rebelled against dark society. In 1922 to 1924, Lu Hsi.in was seized with an uncontrollable sense of desolation and conflicts of inner being. They were subsequently put into the form of prose in Yeh-ts'ao. The purpose of this study is to discover, through an analysis of the poetical images in Yeh-ts'ao, what Lu Hsün's desolation and inner conflicts of this period were, and how he broke free from them
