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

Hypoponera Santschi 1938
No full text<i>Hypoponera</i> Santschi, 1938 <p>(Fig. 6)</p> <p>Morphological characters of wingless, ergatoid males similar to those of conspecific workers excluding genitalia. In winged males, antennal scrobe absent. Mandible reduced in size. Basal cavity of mandible extending to its front face and visible in full-face view. Notauli absent. Mesepimeron not bearing posterodorsal (epimeral) lobe. Petiole lacking dorsolateral projections. Dorsal margin of petiole, in anterior view, without a conical or pointed apex. Apical margin of abdominal tergum VIII without spine. Jugal lobe of hind wing absent. Middle and hind tibia with single spur. Claws simple, never multidentate or pectinate.</p> <p> <i>Remarks.</i> Reduction or absence of the lobe on the mesepimeron (epimeral lobe) was found in males of only <i>Hypoponera</i> and <i>Ponera</i> in this region (Fig. 6 a; Taylor, 1967). This character can be used to separate these two genera from other ponerines in the Malagasy region. To separate <i>Hypoponera</i> and <i>Ponera</i>, see remarks in the <i>Ponera</i> section. Taylor (1967) stated that the maxillary palpus had a single segment in <i>Hypoponera</i>, but males of <i>Hypoponera</i> having a two-segmented maxillary palpus were observed in the present study (Fig. 6 c).</p>Published as part of <i>Yoshimura, Masashi & Fisher, Brian L., 2007, A revision of male ants of the Malagasy region (Hymenoptera: Formicidae): Key to subfamilies and treatment of the genera of Ponerinae, pp. 21-40 in Zootaxa 1654</i> on page 31, DOI: <a href="http://zenodo.org/record/274003">10.5281/zenodo.274003</a>
Odontomachus Latreille 1804
No full text<i>Odontomachus</i> Latreille, 1804 <p>(Figs. 1, 8 a–e)</p> <p>Males winged. Antennal scrobe absent. Mandible reduced. Basal cavity of mandible extending to its front face and visible in full-face view. Notauli never impressed on mesoscutum. Mesepimeron bearing distinct (epimeral) lobe posterodorsally, lobe covering mesothoracic spiracle and seeming to form isolated plate. Dorsolateral corner of petiole in anterior view not projecting. Dorsal margin of petiole in anterior view more or less conical, with a narrowly rounded or pointed apex. Apical margin of abdominal tergum VIII projecting into sharp spine. Jugal lobe of hind wing present. Each middle and hind tibia with two spurs. Claws simple, never multidentate to pectinate.</p> <p> <i>Remarks.</i> Two species are known in the Malagasy region. The males of both species are yellow to yellowish-brown. In the single species from the Seychelles (<i>O. simillimus</i>) the males are blackish. Males belonging to this genus are often similar to those in <i>Anochetus</i> and <i>Pachycondyla</i>. Characteristics separating this genus from <i>Anochetus</i> are noted in the <i>Anochetus</i> section. Characters separating it from <i>Pachycondyla</i> are: 1) petiolar apex more or less conical; 2) hind wing having a jugal lobe; 3) absence of notauli on the mesoscutum; and 4) a yellowish (rarely blackish) body color.</p>Published as part of <i>Yoshimura, Masashi & Fisher, Brian L., 2007, A revision of male ants of the Malagasy region (Hymenoptera: Formicidae): Key to subfamilies and treatment of the genera of Ponerinae, pp. 21-40 in Zootaxa 1654</i> on page 34, DOI: <a href="http://zenodo.org/record/274003">10.5281/zenodo.274003</a>

Anochetus Mayr 1861
No full textAnochetus Mayr, 1861 (Fig. 5) All males winged. Antennal scrobe absent. Mandible reduced. Basal cavity of the mandible extending to its front face, visible in full-face view. Notauli absent. Mesepimeron bearing distinct posterodorsal (epimeral) lobe that covers mesothoracic spiracle and forms a seemingly isolated plate. In most cases, each dorsolateral corner of petiole in anterior view with distinct projection. Dorsal margin of petiole, in anterior view, usually showing two apices. Apical margin of abdominal tergum VIII not projecting into sharp spine. Jugal lobe of hind wing present. Each middle and hind tibia with two spurs. Claws simple, not multidentate or pectinate. Remarks. Five species are recognized in this region (B.L. Fisher and M.A. Smith, unpublished); four were examined in the present study. Species known from the Malagasy region have a distinct spine or tooth on each dorsolateral petiolar margin, and are easily separated from other genera by this character. However, males of a species (morphospecies A. blf-pat) from Aldabra do not have lateral teeth on the petiole. In addition, the male of a species (morphospecies A. blf-goo) from Madagascar is not yet known; given the morphology of workers, males might also lack lateral teeth on the petiole. Males in the genus Anochetus are similar to those in Odontomachus and Pachycondyla, but can be separated from them by a combination of two characters: 1) absence of terminal spine of abdominal tergum VIII; and 2) absence of notauli on the mesoscutum.Published as part of Yoshimura, Masashi & Fisher, Brian L., 2007, A revision of male ants of the Malagasy region (Hymenoptera: Formicidae): Key to subfamilies and treatment of the genera of Ponerinae, pp. 21-40 in Zootaxa 1654 on page 31, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.27400
