First of all, happy new year! I wish you all a good year ahead! In this chance, I would like to share my story back in Thailand again, held around last year’s November, as we revisited my master thesis’s study case location for a follow up interview activity.</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.656; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 11pt; font-style: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">This interview was a bit different from what has been done from the previous survey (please refer to my blog dated in February 2023). This time, we did not collect any quantitative data and focused more on listening to the story of different economic stratum of people in the areas, both flooded and non-flooded, trying to gain better insight by listening directly to their voices. The discussion was long and thorough with an average time of about 1.5-2 hours in each house. I personally think that this survey could generate valuable results as we are able to validate many things through this activity. One thing is obvious - the most vulnerable people’s life is not made easy by the repeating flood. </span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.656; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 11pt; font-style: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.656; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 11pt; font-style: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">It was beyond my imagination how someone could stay inside a house with flood water reaching almost a-half of the house. Ironically, this imagination is realistically lived by people around the flooded areas. Difficult mobility and even absence from school and work, saving less money due to floods, health issues, and worries about the future are common traits found in the family, especially the poor. The Following image is an illustration of the flood’s height that occurred last year in 2022, compared to my body height of 181 cm.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="text-align: start;"></span></p><span id="docs-internal-guid-c0d9a180-7fff-7720-668a-e527fee6de86"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="border: medium; display: inline-block; height: 342px; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; overflow: hidden; width: 329px;"><img height="377" src="https://lh7-us.googleusercontent.com/2nEX7srDyV1_6ugzYOPRmi0Ru-iJ2Hjb82mVsl0I4ZoYlcXfTWnFfawi-jJpUFA4LRk9NkWBW_zzz_zH6xNk4LNYog_pUk2KQ6cPPZQyk4FG0ShSACOq3uI1yPNCIwGB8q88JxLx1_QqG5K4mrMq0k4=w363-h377" style="margin-left: 0px; margin-top: 0px;" width="363" /></span></div><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 11pt; font-style: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">As the sun set, and our work finished, we tried the Thai’s cuisine around our stay.

Had the chance to present my research through oral presentations, which was a bit nerve-wracking but also a great learning opportunity. The conference itself was full of discussions about the latest trends in energy and related sustainable development strategies. Meeting other researchers provided me with valuable insights into the challenges facing the field. My presentation, while a bit stressful, felt good to contribute to the ongoing conversation. Furthermore, connecting with professionals from different parts of the world opened up opportunities for potential collaborations in the future.

After the conference, I took some time following the organizers as they explored Doha's cultural scene. Visited the local art museums, which offered a unique perspective on Qatar's history through art. Also, checked out EXPO, a global showcase of innovation, and got a glimpse of some cutting-edge technologies. Delving into the local culture was a laid-back and enjoyable experience. Tried some delicious Qatari food, wandered through the lively souqs, and had some interesting conversations with both locals and fellow researchers!
Looking back, this trip was more than just a conference—it was a blend of learning, exploring, and making connections. Finally, a special and sincere thank you goes to Prof. Kawasaki. Without his support, I would not be able to present my research and gain such rich experiences at this large international conference!

<b>事前準備</b> <br>
見知らぬ土地に行くときには事前準備が大切です。特に海外の場合は、日本国内では当たり前とされていることが通用しない場合もあります。<br>
まず、渡航先の気象情報を調べると良いです。日本は今冬の初めで気温も10℃前後ですが、タイは赤道の近くに位置しているため、この時期でも30℃近くありました。私は日本の感覚で長袖の着替えを複数持って行き、荷物を無駄に増やしてしまいました。国や時期によってはさらに極端な気温であったり、あるいは雨季に入っている場合などもあるため、事前の調査を忘れないようにしましょう。<br>
次に宿泊する宿のアメニティも調べておくと良いです。日本の宿で標準的に用意されているものが世界各地の宿で必ずしも用意されているとは限りません。今回宿泊した宿では、歯ブラシやカミソリなどが置いてありませんでした。また、洗濯は1着ごとにお金がかかるシステムになっており、多めに着替えを持ってきていなければ出費がかなり増えてしまうところでした。<br><br>まとめ<br>
・渡航先の気象情報は事前に調べよう
<br>・宿のアメニティを確認し、必要なものは揃えておこう
<br><br>
<b>健康面</b><br>
海外で体調を崩すと悲惨なことになるのは想像に難くないでしょう。異国での医療サービスは言語、費用などの問題がつきまといますし、精神的に不安にもなります。何より、貴重な海外での時間を無駄にしてしまうことになります。かく言う私も、今回の渡航先で体調を崩してしまい苦しい思いをしました。<br>
体調不良の原因は多岐に渡りますが、海外において特に注意して欲しいのは食事です。海外では、自国ではなかなか見られないその国ならではの料理を楽しむことができますが、慣れない食事に体が拒否反応を示してしまうこともあります。タイに関して言うと、甘さや辛さなどの味付けが日本よりも激しく、特に辛さに関しては「普通」か「辛め」かで「普通」を選択しても日本人にとってはかなり辛いです。それが美味しさの元ではあるのですが、私の体はそれに耐えることができず、嘔吐や下痢などの症状で現地調査を一日離脱することとなってしまいました。その上胃腸薬などを持ってきていなかったため、調査チームの皆さんに薬を買ってきてもらう手間をとらせてしまいました(その節はありがとうございました)。ここ数年の体調不良の中でもトップクラスに辛かったので、皆さんも気をつけましょう。<br><br>まとめ<br>
・食事に気をつけよう(慣れた食事を挟むようにすると良いかも)<br>
・薬はできるだけ色々持っていこう
<br><br>
<b>空港での所作</b><br>
皆さんは空港をよく利用しますか?私は国内線の利用ですらここ一年の間に初めて経験したような初心者なのですが、そうでなくとも飛行機の利用の際には注意すべきことがあるので、(主に自分向けに)書き留めておきます。<br>
まず、時間に余裕を持った行動は言わずもがな大切です。飛行機は座席を予約する都合上、電車のように「次に乗ればいいや」というわけにはいきません。フライトの時刻から逆算し、移動や保安検査、必要ならばお土産を買う時間など全ての空港内での行動を考慮してタイムマネジメントする必要があります。今回私は帰りのフライト前日に、当日のタイムスケジュールの確認を怠り、全体の計画を数十分遅らせてしまう遅刻をしてしまいました。最悪の場合はフライトに間に合わず多額の飛行機代が発生してしまう可能性もあった案件なので、深く反省し次回以降に生かしていきたいと思います。<br>
また、保安検査も油断していると危ないです。今回私は、行きの保安検査で、持ち込み荷物の中になぜか入れていた消臭スプレーを没収されてしまいました。この反省を活かし、帰りの保安検査では引っかからないように気をつけていましたが、お土産に空港で買ったマンゴースティッキーライス(マンゴーとご飯を一緒に食べるタイの料理)が植物検疫に引っかかり、またも没収されてしまいました。個人的には「空港に持ち込めないものを空港のお土産品として売るな!」とツッコみたくなりましたが、ルールはルールなので、お金を無駄にしたくなければ、持ち込めるもの持ち込めないものをしっかり調べておくようにしましょう。<br><br>
まとめ<br>
・時間に余裕を持って行動しよう(報連相をしっかり!)
<br>・保安検査に引っかからないように対策しよう<br><br>
最後になりますが、多くの人にとって人生でそう多くない海外経験を良い思い出にするために、皆さんも手間を惜しまず、しっかりと事前の準備をするようにしましょう。B4の中村でした。

また、この写真からは川の両岸で洪水に対する脆弱性が大きく異なることがわかります。向こう側に見えるコンクリート壁は過去の洪水被害がきっかけに作られ、その先に広がる学校や商店などが集まる重要な地域を守っています。しかし、その壁が建設された影響で、雨季の河川増水の影響が全て手前側の住居などに来てしまっています。行政の治水計画の良し悪しを考えさせられる興味深い写真です。
このような貴重な機会をくださった川崎先生はじめ、今回の調査に関わってくださった全ての方々への感謝の言葉で締めくくらせていただきます。

It is my first time writing a blog article here, so I excited to share my story. Enjoy reading!😊<o:p></o:p></span></p>
In early September 2023, I had the incredible opportunity to participate in the Dam Visiting event organized by the Japan Society of Dam Engineering. This event promised a unique adventure, featuring visits to two remarkable dams, Nanma Dam and Kusaki Dam, along with collaborative discussions on the development of infrastructure for tourism in the dam industry. This experience was truly unforgettable, filled with awe-inspiring construction marvels and picturesque landscapes.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<b>(Sept 4th) Day 1: Nanma Dam - Amidst the Storm</b><o:p></o:p></span></p>

Our journey began on a rather stormy note, as heavy rainfall greeted us on our visit to the Nanma Dam. Despite the weather, there was an undeniable sense of excitement in the air as we approached the dam. Nanma Dam was a work in progress, allowing us to witness the intricate construction process firsthand. The sight of massive machinery and skilled workers tirelessly toiling in the rain was truly remarkable.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

Though the weather was far from ideal, it added a unique element to the experience. The rainwater cascading down the dam's face created a mesmerizing spectacle, reminding us of the sheer power and importance of these colossal structures in managing water resources.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<b>(Sept 5th) Day 2: Kusaki Dam - A Serene Contrast</b><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEha4iIiSj1NaVrjA2hS2bfuS6lt9Fs0zGoYikFuLoAN9aGtCcpEhzHIM8lv9iC7KkBWuigO60E_N0lQjTfH6UIibpeMQb6YWW_eMEOf0ICa_JpZ60pIVhKMHb87oS8hz-1qI49E6seykqHp88PpFSkBnjW1fS51zx0_TrsKqbc9zhmST6a4671khj49Rs4N/s1600/8.jpg" style="display: block; padding: 1em 0; text-align: center; "><img alt="" border="0" width="400" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="1600" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEha4iIiSj1NaVrjA2hS2bfuS6lt9Fs0zGoYikFuLoAN9aGtCcpEhzHIM8lv9iC7KkBWuigO60E_N0lQjTfH6UIibpeMQb6YWW_eMEOf0ICa_JpZ60pIVhKMHb87oS8hz-1qI49E6seykqHp88PpFSkBnjW1fS51zx0_TrsKqbc9zhmST6a4671khj49Rs4N/s400/8.jpg"/></a></div>
Our second day was a complete contrast to the first. As we arrived at Kusaki Dam, we were greeted by a brilliant sun and clear blue skies. The serene beauty of the surroundings was breathtaking. The dam was nestled amidst lush greenery, and the tranquil atmosphere was a stark contrast to the previous day's hustle and bustle.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
We spent hours admiring the panoramic views, taking in the picturesque landscapes, and learning about the dam's role in providing water resources and electricity to the region. It was a moment of quiet reflection on the importance of these engineering marvels not only in managing resources but also in creating spaces of natural beauty for us to enjoy.

<b>Nightttime Discussion: Infrastructure Tourism</b><o:p></o:p></span></p>
One of the highlights of the trip was the nighttime group discussion on developing infrastructure for tourism in the dam industry. While this was a valuable opportunity, it was also a significant challenge for me as the discussion was conducted in Japanese. As a non-native speaker, keeping up with the conversation was not easy.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
However, I was immensely grateful for the support and patience of my fellow participants. They were eager to help translate and ensure that I could contribute meaningfully to the discussion. This collaborative spirit exemplified the essence of the event, where individuals from diverse backgrounds came together to share their expertise and insights.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<b>Making Connections: The Unexpedted Friendship</b><o:p></o:p></span></p>
On the first day, as I struggled to communicate with my limited Japanese skills, I found myself in a conversation with a fellow participant. We shared smiles and a few awkward laughs, making the best of the language barrier. It was the beginning of a friendship that would add a another twist to my Japanese adventure.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
As it turns out, my new friend was not just any ordinary individual. She was a talented violin player and a member of a her university orchestra. Little did I know that this newfound connection would lead to a memorable experience of me watching my first orchestra concert in Japan because she invited me to her concert. Now I am developing a new hobby which is watching orchestra concert because it was amazing and I love music in the first place so it was memorable.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

This journey reminded me that sometimes the most memorable moments happen when we step out of our comfort zones and embrace new experiences. As when I left Japan, I'll carry with me not just the knowledge of dams and infrastructure but also the cherished memories of a friendship. That is all of my story, I excited to write another blog articles here.

Kawasaki group. At the beginning of this month, me and Leon-san went to
Nagasaki City to join the water resource annual conference. As the schedule is
fully occupied with meetings (especially with over 100 professors sitting in
the same room), most of my time is spent in the conference venue.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">But we still managed to have a short trip
around Nagasaki City, covering some of the most popular places of interests: 1.
Nagasaki Atomic Bomb Museum; 2. Nagasaki Museum of History & Culture; 3. Site
of the Former Dutch Factory on Dejima; 4. Glover Garden; 5. Mt. Inasa night

<p class="MsoListParagraph"><span lang="EN-US">The residents of Nagasaki consider
it their duty to make sure the horrors which they experienced due to the atomic
bombing are never repeated. Because of this, the museum is designed in such a
way that the audience can see just what effect the bomb had on the city, the
reconstruction, and the lasting effects of the atomic bomb. The museum opens
with a room dedicated to the city as it was just before the bomb decimated
Nagasaki. A clock which stopped at 11:02, the precise time the bomb hit the
city, is also on display to demonstrate how so many people were killed in an
instant.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoListParagraph"><span lang="EN-US"></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEiw2tMDZ1VlwPY4gYe0EANXdbamShoEtPNsrCe2SIVpNQrZaN2j0hTETThqux_WO-YkshdqzNL3IcgK36EnOws0-FvcsKaIEwDIz3TBx_94iiMdq6w7v2qg-DTzuOM-YxZ6ZMiCmjrOkZRvPqJvBoOvtbv6xUlzIOAwmDAFRZCfiNE-4OupArMdSVMCGsTS" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="576" data-original-width="432" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEiw2tMDZ1VlwPY4gYe0EANXdbamShoEtPNsrCe2SIVpNQrZaN2j0hTETThqux_WO-YkshdqzNL3IcgK36EnOws0-FvcsKaIEwDIz3TBx_94iiMdq6w7v2qg-DTzuOM-YxZ6ZMiCmjrOkZRvPqJvBoOvtbv6xUlzIOAwmDAFRZCfiNE-4OupArMdSVMCGsTS" width="180" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: 等线; font-size: 10.5pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-fareast-language: ZH-CN; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-fareast; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">Fig. 1.

Dejima was created in 1636 by digging a canal through a small peninsula and
linking it to the mainland with a small bridge. The island was constructed by
the Tokugawa shogunate, whose isolationist policies sought to preserve the
existing sociopolitical order by forbidding outsiders from entering Japan while
prohibiting most Japanese from leaving. Dejima housed Portuguese merchants and
separated them from Japanese society while still facilitating lucrative trade
with the West.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-char-indent-count: 2.0; text-indent: 21.0pt;"><span lang="EN-US">Following a rebellion by mostly Catholic converts, all Portuguese
were expelled in 1639. The Dutch were moved to Dejima in 1641, albeit under
stricter control: the open practice of Christianity was banned, and
interactions between Dutch and Japanese traders were tightly regulated. Until
the mid-19th century, the Dutch were the only Westerners with exclusive access
to Japanese goods, and, to a lesser extent, society and culture. Dejima
consequently played a key role in the Japanese movement of rangaku (</span>蘭學<span lang="EN-US">, "Dutch learning"), an organized scholarly effort to
learn the Dutch language in order to understand Western science, medicine, and
technology.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-char-indent-count: 2.0; text-indent: 21.0pt;"><span lang="EN-US"></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEh1QYDHEW34gz4SjXWFBHfkUQ2x33OZRLlk-Y1t2f5B9wVr70gEZT6aTD6hoNEwzKqWZkh_L4c-TUMPg3J3jaq8p7Uy2wNcO_9qOzqUaU43qAqAT8FCt2JJ4WQGSotkEmvGroV6izL2zGx54HDsJTz63MWuUiXHspoLjrnfEgcYsrjeb4V6Syp1F2qut5Sb" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="648" data-original-width="864" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEh1QYDHEW34gz4SjXWFBHfkUQ2x33OZRLlk-Y1t2f5B9wVr70gEZT6aTD6hoNEwzKqWZkh_L4c-TUMPg3J3jaq8p7Uy2wNcO_9qOzqUaU43qAqAT8FCt2JJ4WQGSotkEmvGroV6izL2zGx54HDsJTz63MWuUiXHspoLjrnfEgcYsrjeb4V6Syp1F2qut5Sb" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: 等线; font-size: 10.5pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-fareast-language: ZH-CN; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-fareast; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">Fig. 4.

I am happy to announce that my study is progressing well, and the result was ready to be discussed by wider public.

This museum encapsulates the story and remaining memories of inhumane event that killed and wiped hundreds of thousands of people in Nagasaki City in 1945. Inside the museum, photos of the victims and story of the survival who suffered from leukemia, cancer, and others side effect of radiation in the years followed by the bombing were shown. To observe and read the story was painfully heart aching. I sincerely hope that more tourists from all over the world can come to this museum and personally witness and feel the pain of the story – hoping that this horrific event will never re-occur in the future. </span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: times;"><br /></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhPJUTlIBOwH7bUV9OPIxZvYpphG14r2Qf_TKZJ94hi535uuwZ3YjZ1xFjovdwnXy7gqa55Op0r3Ra3QmbjNop7TbBHKj9WynCpxD0R_IixT4zK7Hj9I-DNoi493F79Jt8vUM_Z0zS4wwk2hWNmrzQcZjrlTyugUCN0NiFSGgzfVIQee8otogH22ze0iIAW/s1430/Picture4.jpg" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><span style="color: black; font-family: times;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1258" data-original-width="1430" height="194" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhPJUTlIBOwH7bUV9OPIxZvYpphG14r2Qf_TKZJ94hi535uuwZ3YjZ1xFjovdwnXy7gqa55Op0r3Ra3QmbjNop7TbBHKj9WynCpxD0R_IixT4zK7Hj9I-DNoi493F79Jt8vUM_Z0zS4wwk2hWNmrzQcZjrlTyugUCN0NiFSGgzfVIQee8otogH22ze0iIAW/w218-h194/Picture4.jpg" width="218" /></span></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgnnk1X-5cSl6_l6IrjufVe-AAKGXMBFwHRIU0Hv1ERkq9d_kC4f0xPVKbv06xQ9EOoJDuoMbvA6mrLKAgS_i_bq0hy6Gh7KmltqLsRYYK3UqiKbdXZNvVvaE3_KyWRZMjx5Kv8zRR4GHbx5WOEXD5JiFSIvR2yM5diUixUmYbroOd581c1A85UA_FN3tbc/s1430/Picture3.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="color: black; font-family: times;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1100" data-original-width="1430" height="190" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgnnk1X-5cSl6_l6IrjufVe-AAKGXMBFwHRIU0Hv1ERkq9d_kC4f0xPVKbv06xQ9EOoJDuoMbvA6mrLKAgS_i_bq0hy6Gh7KmltqLsRYYK3UqiKbdXZNvVvaE3_KyWRZMjx5Kv8zRR4GHbx5WOEXD5JiFSIvR2yM5diUixUmYbroOd581c1A85UA_FN3tbc/w247-h190/Picture3.jpg" width="247" /></span></a></div><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm; text-align: left;"></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm; text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: times;"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: times;"><span lang="EN-US">To summarized, I really enjoy Nagasaki!

7月に新木場の河川敷でBBQを行いました。このBBQでは、新たに川崎研に入ってくださった3人のメンバーを歓迎しました。
夏ということもあり、気温は高かったですが、無事天気に恵まれ河川敷で皆で楽しくBBQを行えました。
なんと、このBBQパーティーでは現役生全員が参加してくださることとなり、主催者としても非常に嬉しく思いました。
また、現役メンバーに日本人がほとんどおらず不安な面も多かったですが、OBの方々や秘書の片山さん、川崎先生のお子様も来てくださり、様々な方と親睦を深めることができました。
以下は実際のBBQパーティーでの写真です。

I am Leon who is Kawasaki Sensei’s student. In this occasion, I would like to share a bit about my experience in conducting part of my research in Thailand. I had my flight from Haneda on 15</span><sup style="text-align: justify;">th</sup><span style="font-size: 10pt; text-align: justify;"> January and hopefully it was a pleasant seven (7) hours flight. Long story short, Kawasaki Sensei and I arrived in Thailand around evening time. As I have been used to Japan’s winter, my first impression of Thailand upon arrival was “Hot”.</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: medium; line-height: 18.4px; margin: 0cm; text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 15.333332px;"><br /></span></p></div><div style="text-align: left;"><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: medium; line-height: 18.4px; margin: 0cm; text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 15.333332px;">We directly conducted the survey the next day after our arrival. As this is my first social engineering experience, I was so excited. Kawasaki Sensei and I, along with the surveyor teams, visited several low-income areas which were heavily inundated by flood around Ayutthaya District in Thailand. Listening to the livelihood of the impacted person directly in the survey hit differently when compared to when listened to it from the news or YouTube. </span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: medium; line-height: 18.4px; margin: 0cm; text-align: justify;"><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEiEGnAyxlfj3gixvix8ErHUAp5_iwTNPnP99jv1axAYJtAQ6m3YAPMEMegFxw9CQyLgfdii3UXy-0sBRnjNXa3PMe40zx2ojvqhe_q4kIsbD4Z9XOTMTEngbbUzvcFmMUA0Mck_LSk3LQOMsZFPaHuBcgyjd8pGiZTT8pAQBgthsVN-mcUMXv3qZunRCA" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img alt="" data-original-height="1109" data-original-width="1479" height="176" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEiEGnAyxlfj3gixvix8ErHUAp5_iwTNPnP99jv1axAYJtAQ6m3YAPMEMegFxw9CQyLgfdii3UXy-0sBRnjNXa3PMe40zx2ojvqhe_q4kIsbD4Z9XOTMTEngbbUzvcFmMUA0Mck_LSk3LQOMsZFPaHuBcgyjd8pGiZTT8pAQBgthsVN-mcUMXv3qZunRCA=w235-h176" width="235" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjn1lGeMiGm4aldLPLReQziPEQV1sqVX4JvetRvZFmmcG0rMsakTabRcLK1nEbldz7dM7dgraMudkisPX1os23_1P07fOOF4FM-6inmMECQLx8KFbh8Oul54ATv5zK-YXRkz7PMJ-_TEopEhZcUZ7JuClHbaUVAOf_ShxSQF5FteiClEYd0lXdG4SzFHw" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="4032" height="177" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjn1lGeMiGm4aldLPLReQziPEQV1sqVX4JvetRvZFmmcG0rMsakTabRcLK1nEbldz7dM7dgraMudkisPX1os23_1P07fOOF4FM-6inmMECQLx8KFbh8Oul54ATv5zK-YXRkz7PMJ-_TEopEhZcUZ7JuClHbaUVAOf_ShxSQF5FteiClEYd0lXdG4SzFHw=w235-h177" width="235" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgJKUR2Wu-HRg7yruT3qgojMjtMBgUoxZzLqG1SR92SHIPDgubv6S6It_lf3mYAI33zaXTyDAtmXc5b9UI9TIOL363_fW9MRBfcji8EaECrqGgAAvfC2VbEWst0XlTW6pWIF6nYy88GrO17NV5VbfSBi7VdX8rLyMaDy4leHPJ86NNDwBxbcZuoyuCj6g" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="207" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgJKUR2Wu-HRg7yruT3qgojMjtMBgUoxZzLqG1SR92SHIPDgubv6S6It_lf3mYAI33zaXTyDAtmXc5b9UI9TIOL363_fW9MRBfcji8EaECrqGgAAvfC2VbEWst0XlTW6pWIF6nYy88GrO17NV5VbfSBi7VdX8rLyMaDy4leHPJ86NNDwBxbcZuoyuCj6g=w155-h207" width="155" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEivUkvjRmG98FPEwLJQVcfC7SBD6po97-mjX_a0-5Zq3qdnZ--VgobH-hF-Yta4CaLP7GMpdfrkXZsTpEGHaF9ypVYNKKT93pC35jJ25WrF8t8fsSjYFVi3JHBCJr9ocJfwfWlDsBZlh9SDS5zm8UxKM_eG7GUz96rmevtXysWMOxE3uyrK-stqOxyvOg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="4032" height="202" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEivUkvjRmG98FPEwLJQVcfC7SBD6po97-mjX_a0-5Zq3qdnZ--VgobH-hF-Yta4CaLP7GMpdfrkXZsTpEGHaF9ypVYNKKT93pC35jJ25WrF8t8fsSjYFVi3JHBCJr9ocJfwfWlDsBZlh9SDS5zm8UxKM_eG7GUz96rmevtXysWMOxE3uyrK-stqOxyvOg=w269-h202" width="269" /></a></div><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: medium; line-height: 18.4px; margin: 0cm; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 10pt;"><br /></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: medium; line-height: 18.4px; margin: 0cm; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 10pt;">It was really unlikely to believe if it has not been directly mentioned by the local that there was flood occurred with depth about 2 meters from the ground and last for 3months. Those with ample money could increase their house platform level to adapt with flood while those who can’t afford had to live and sleep with flood water inside their house during 3 months of flood period. Kids were unable to study normally as schools were also closed during flood period. Local’s business product and household utilities were also often damaged. </span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: medium; line-height: 18.4px; margin: 0cm; text-align: center;"><br /></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: medium; line-height: 18.4px; margin: 0cm; text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 15.333332px;"></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: medium; line-height: 18.4px; margin: 0cm; text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 15.333332px;">During the survey, I also noticed that in its process was not always easy and smooth. For instance, some family refuse to answer the questions while some didn’t fulfil the criteria as our respondent. In often cases, several areas were very isolated to be reached by cars. Nevertheless, I am glad that the activity was carried out by qualified team who were all friendly and patient while communicating to the responded. Additionally, I am also accompanied by Kodaka Sensei from Keio University who has helped and given me many new insights during the survey.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: medium; line-height: 18.4px; margin: 0cm; text-align: justify;"><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEiCeo25n36j9tArZgKKxGFHZu2IiFcfKCy0Vw2erf4P2t9AweTI85Vp4ku9IpHoO-C2u424PPe_xTpYMtkati2Mc1lXTlYYQsDzS76s3kOcQXYP6UKeWxtu60krxEjSBRI6ZuaK7jVWr7zjijRDb8ztuHzbViqhKc4A3s8sd1Dv01BacJ88GMXNnPUdJA" style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 10pt; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="207" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEiCeo25n36j9tArZgKKxGFHZu2IiFcfKCy0Vw2erf4P2t9AweTI85Vp4ku9IpHoO-C2u424PPe_xTpYMtkati2Mc1lXTlYYQsDzS76s3kOcQXYP6UKeWxtu60krxEjSBRI6ZuaK7jVWr7zjijRDb8ztuHzbViqhKc4A3s8sd1Dv01BacJ88GMXNnPUdJA=w155-h207" width="155" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjL_R19ykD8HmSBcDc2ZBCJ-QqY39YudQHrtGEiIQgGMxhLWaXPEY2um8ojz0Mu5bFRJVUS-hxrGvn5jKHMcKXaYWn3aJLRWBGCerQCdiwvAazW2MaxfC6OIESkQPdc4xPbCZvf8W97d-1mydGWxkbU2NIBfVi91d1fn9Z4hJ6-Sa53EohESJoKjFe7Rw" style="display: inline; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"> <img alt="" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="4032" height="205" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjL_R19ykD8HmSBcDc2ZBCJ-QqY39YudQHrtGEiIQgGMxhLWaXPEY2um8ojz0Mu5bFRJVUS-hxrGvn5jKHMcKXaYWn3aJLRWBGCerQCdiwvAazW2MaxfC6OIESkQPdc4xPbCZvf8W97d-1mydGWxkbU2NIBfVi91d1fn9Z4hJ6-Sa53EohESJoKjFe7Rw=w273-h205" width="273" /></a></div><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: medium; line-height: 18.4px; margin: 0cm; text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: medium; line-height: 18.4px; margin: 0cm; text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 15.333332px;">Aside from the research, I was so tied up as there was exam I need to nail.

It is a great opportunity to meet scientific groups from all over the world, no matter how advanced, unusual, or specialized the researcher's topic is. The information, suggestions, and inspiration we receive at these conferences are on par with what we learn in the classroom.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhGnD2gtw1odvBiapBP4ZW0ytD82KiiaG35tN0pLX6vkDUMVHw6RRycGVSGHK49e65rC8xlcwC0-yW2txwRQeJXjmj8Y2KCUZoPEC4jAnwT__Kyds_DKqbOg83GPaOhgyu_szyk-f35T4hkFGoHlnppYYsAT3eU1AS71VzkqtJDYa2MUfz6Qe4kjkA-UA/s1090/20221222233211.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="719" data-original-width="1090" height="211" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhGnD2gtw1odvBiapBP4ZW0ytD82KiiaG35tN0pLX6vkDUMVHw6RRycGVSGHK49e65rC8xlcwC0-yW2txwRQeJXjmj8Y2KCUZoPEC4jAnwT__Kyds_DKqbOg83GPaOhgyu_szyk-f35T4hkFGoHlnppYYsAT3eU1AS71VzkqtJDYa2MUfz6Qe4kjkA-UA/s320/20221222233211.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><p>This year's AGU Fall Meeting was held at the McCormick Convention Centre in Chicago. The days of the meeting were either occupied by groups of earth scientists brandishing poster reels like swordsmen or a crowd of attendees traveling to and from the conference. One of the events I remember the most was the large poster session. Thousands of posters were rotated up in only a few short days. I was one of the individuals who had only half a day to prepare their own poster and set it up before having to deliver it to the audience. To my amazement, throughout the roughly three hours that I presented the posters, there was a sizable audience interested in my message. It was really gratifying to discuss my thoughts with numerous researchers from different fields and to receive so many insightful comments. What surprised me most was that Prof. Toshio Koike, who had just received the AGU Ambassador Award, came to listen to my presentation and was very kind in giving me lots of suggestions and encouragement!</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjLisU5Jg8RYBJ_H7bdo3BNmg1kXo72Ojt661Qx1V3bQf1Jcnla1JF4qxX6h5Ru2iELby8-5f6usm0Ve8eBVWaktIapCvuPlzF98HCxXDCjqHQ90-gBbKIE2m6cl_OO7J0K7pfbhmzsv7XKrlFeJ7OxIdF4RIuKJAL6R4Dx9kTqHqyHldNjZ2qCVl65cg/s3648/20221222233234.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2744" data-original-width="3648" height="241" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjLisU5Jg8RYBJ_H7bdo3BNmg1kXo72Ojt661Qx1V3bQf1Jcnla1JF4qxX6h5Ru2iELby8-5f6usm0Ve8eBVWaktIapCvuPlzF98HCxXDCjqHQ90-gBbKIE2m6cl_OO7J0K7pfbhmzsv7XKrlFeJ7OxIdF4RIuKJAL6R4Dx9kTqHqyHldNjZ2qCVl65cg/s320/20221222233234.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><p>Of course, after the conference, my new friends and I spent some time touring the energetic American city of Chicago! One of the biggest cities in the country, Chicago is a bustling metropolis full of possibilities. Chicago's famous Millennium Park and Cloud Gate were our first stop. This landmark building, affectionately referred to by locals as the Big Bean, is located in the middle of the park and offers a mirror-like reflection of the skyline where tourists from all over the world assemble to take precious souvenir photos.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj7iXLWccGTn1mQjCymlDqVoDSYBb9MM4oVANVAdWkxWxDfCyN18xWJSH-uE_7FKaHk-cHR4sfwn1aZpHkwXmvnmzAkLiQ7d_ok2xc8bA4IS0dkscklVNPrFebu_t-iafL0jfIOdmxA18smDqyT_ZMTddr9I9TB-mI4ikLqxM3SrqUx0_Wmd3luX3_onw/s3648/20221222233225.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2736" data-original-width="3648" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj7iXLWccGTn1mQjCymlDqVoDSYBb9MM4oVANVAdWkxWxDfCyN18xWJSH-uE_7FKaHk-cHR4sfwn1aZpHkwXmvnmzAkLiQ7d_ok2xc8bA4IS0dkscklVNPrFebu_t-iafL0jfIOdmxA18smDqyT_ZMTddr9I9TB-mI4ikLqxM3SrqUx0_Wmd3luX3_onw/s320/20221222233225.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><p>We also traveled across Michigan Avenue, Chicago's principal thoroughfare connecting its north and south. Neon lights in golden hues illuminate the lake on each side of the Michigan Bridge at night, while the Trump Tower stands out boldly on the shore, looking opulent and contemporary. Heading south, we can reach the Art Institute of Chicago. As the city's top art museum, you could spend a whole day there and still not see everything. Finally, we also hit up the home of the Chicago Bulls, the United Center, to witness the Michael Jordan statue. Thanks to the fusion of cultures, we were able to eat Mexican, Italian, and a variety of new and eclectic dishes in Chicago. Prof. Kawasaki and I had the famous deep-dish pizza at Giordano's. Unlike the pizza in New Haven, the deep dish pizza here is very thick and covered in rich cheese, which gives it a unique flavor.</p><p>This AGU Fall Meeting experience has facilitated my understanding of the frontiers of my discipline and has given me a full appreciation of the multicultural beauty of Chicago.</p><p><br /></p>kawasakigrouphttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06007323155129649997noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4649457671299187296.post-91536455556934776272022-12-23T00:25:00.000+09:002022-12-23T00:25:21.844+09:00 Visit to Yale University<p>Hello, I am Zhao Han, a Ph.D. student in the Kawasaki lab. On December 8, Prof. Kawasaki and I traveled from Tokyo to New Haven, Connecticut, USA, to visit our colleagues at Yale University.</p><p>Our jet initially touched down in New York, and as we traveled from that city to New Haven, we were able to see Manhattan, the city's busiest port. On the way, coincidentally, Prof. Kawasaki and I also met a Chinese researcher who was going to New Haven with us, this trip was filled with excitement.</p><p>We traveled for almost two hours before arriving in New Haven, home to Yale University, a renowned institution of higher learning both domestically and worldwide. It seemed like Yale was everywhere as we got closer to downtown. After a fantastic lunch, we finally met our co-workers Reed, Zach, and Salma from Franch. Reed and Zach then showed us around Yale's beautiful campus. Yale University is the third oldest university in the country and has no gates, making it an open campus. The university's accommodation buildings are quaint and all the buildings are unique and full of humanity. I was most impressed by the Beinecke Rare Book and Manuscript Library, the largest building in the world dedicated to the preservation of rare books and manuscripts.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgINEFGthaVuzesneEAKs44ekyUVf2VfQleSztpHtWF8GABbiTUtFvN0pR5flf6Eo148O8qdxR6SleU3A5NXrMSQgzy2xjq6ue0jzaitv74VXLjq5RnpG-4F-L3IsFJDUXZIYtvmw6bHjye2TDmfMUw_b3JS5ede-O79ZfJQUSa9J_Zo-e7GdTlcj4gJw/s3218/20221223001453.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3218" data-original-width="2504" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgINEFGthaVuzesneEAKs44ekyUVf2VfQleSztpHtWF8GABbiTUtFvN0pR5flf6Eo148O8qdxR6SleU3A5NXrMSQgzy2xjq6ue0jzaitv74VXLjq5RnpG-4F-L3IsFJDUXZIYtvmw6bHjye2TDmfMUw_b3JS5ede-O79ZfJQUSa9J_Zo-e7GdTlcj4gJw/s320/20221223001453.jpg" width="249" /></a></div><p>After that, we traveled to a building deep inside Yale University to discuss the status of our research progress. Unlike online meetings, the face-to-face format helped us to better comprehend each other's perspectives. After the discussion, Reed also invited us to try the special potato pizza at Bar Restaurant and super delicious ice cream in downtown New Haven. Here, the pizza was thin and crispy, and the portions were enormous in comparison to other places!</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhmznGSXgtQTznSGuJ3Pfkn_uFmApgUaJb3SGkc29LGXvtzWoYz793CfM8HCQWci9VofSQ4In-nHE-uVIgn-YXuTkikelxRFwVGbwKdFR3aYKFjqkHAowS91gI_KULdcsjHYOF9YvLyJp7MaakjVWzzpCTHJXCO7tgFFG5kW0619Q7sq9Mhx1o4b4o8mA/s1024/20221223002124.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="768" data-original-width="1024" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhmznGSXgtQTznSGuJ3Pfkn_uFmApgUaJb3SGkc29LGXvtzWoYz793CfM8HCQWci9VofSQ4In-nHE-uVIgn-YXuTkikelxRFwVGbwKdFR3aYKFjqkHAowS91gI_KULdcsjHYOF9YvLyJp7MaakjVWzzpCTHJXCO7tgFFG5kW0619Q7sq9Mhx1o4b4o8mA/s320/20221223002124.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><p>In addition, Newhaven is especially lovely at night, and because it's almost Christmas, everyone is in the holiday spirit. The streets were decorated with choirs, ice-carved reindeer, and all sorts of lights decorating the roads at night. On the last day, it even snowed slowly in New Haven, the first snow I had seen this year. After that, I went to the Yale University Art Gallery, which I had been wanting to see.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">11/3</span>に,<span lang="EN-US">EcoBalacnce</span>学会で福岡に行くついでに福岡近郊での環境保全が行われている場所を巡りました。今回はそのレポートの<span lang="EN-US">Japanese</span>版です。<span lang="EN-US"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">まず,川下りで有名な柳川へ。船に乗り,柳川城跡の外濠水路を船頭さんの説明とともに眺めました。ちょうど訪れた時期が柳川出身の文豪である北原白秋をたたえる「白秋祭」の日であり,普段は見られないであろう灯篭や提灯が飾られていました。昼頃に訪れたので残念ながら灯篭流しは見れなかったのですが…。</p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiEKsRWrO0QQgu7F2TwLqU-9EbQ3FEtJFkiM1cx3TydfnZgp2uNp5QDeyjqhToHgtKwCahtvwKJaIK0iEh27FHST9fpDRcGUYUEtwFNkmT4OzllbrCORDzXgdaRQKK5cxcBybRD07uBbeMz8ixSNN_h04FbgB0vdkl8o_hqTBBLaMBT3RFgzUOxmL1INA/s4032/IMG_5471.HEIC" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="4032" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiEKsRWrO0QQgu7F2TwLqU-9EbQ3FEtJFkiM1cx3TydfnZgp2uNp5QDeyjqhToHgtKwCahtvwKJaIK0iEh27FHST9fpDRcGUYUEtwFNkmT4OzllbrCORDzXgdaRQKK5cxcBybRD07uBbeMz8ixSNN_h04FbgB0vdkl8o_hqTBBLaMBT3RFgzUOxmL1INA/s320/IMG_5471.HEIC" width="320" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">川に面した出店も</td></tr></tbody></table><p class="MsoNormal">次に,ラムサール条約にも登録されている有明海方面へ向かい,熊本・荒尾市にある荒尾干拓水鳥・湿地センターへ訪れました。館員の方曰く,荒尾干潟は定期的にボランティアの方が清掃活動を行っているようで,他の干潟とは異なりいつも綺麗なことが自慢ですとのこと。確かに海岸にはほとんどゴミが落ちていなかったような気がします。また,<span lang="EN-US"><o:p></o:p></span>ノリ養殖の展示では,館員の方のご説明も受けながら皆興味を示していたのが印象的でした。</p>

arriving in time. Fukuoka Prefecture is located in the northern part of Kyushu
Island and is the most populous and developed prefecture on the island, known

sushi, seafood, chicken skewers, and beef hot pot, some of which we can
enjoy at roadside stalls.</span></p>

local ramen —"Shin Shin Ramen“—to us, and we queued up for it without

meetings and conferences and had no time to go around the city. It was only on
our last day that we had time to explore the surrounding area, arranged by
Prof. Kawasaki. Our first stop was
Yanagawa, where the first impression I got was that I might have come to a fake
Japan. What's with the whitewashed buildings, the willow trees draped over the
sides, and the wooden boats drifting down the river? But it really is a
Japanese city. Yanagawa reminds me of Venice, it would be a waste not to go
boating here.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgH6Fb4SNOlvC1TQksHhSy8oc0MTHzcRxYkYvYaNX-7QFIRFx-okON0iohLG4B6z50Mb1VLn7l6qp54FjtDgQ1GvSbpEfiXJxyscKHWlLiQ2kno-XZDuYwuI0HSaeWQIaRiOqfgUnCUqYlfJnAS61ZdgXrtHnvAiWADMbV7zF6zmQzdJ_R2ijpAQnIGGw/s3648/5.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2736" data-original-width="3648" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgH6Fb4SNOlvC1TQksHhSy8oc0MTHzcRxYkYvYaNX-7QFIRFx-okON0iohLG4B6z50Mb1VLn7l6qp54FjtDgQ1GvSbpEfiXJxyscKHWlLiQ2kno-XZDuYwuI0HSaeWQIaRiOqfgUnCUqYlfJnAS61ZdgXrtHnvAiWADMbV7zF6zmQzdJ_R2ijpAQnIGGw/s320/5.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">The second place we visited was Araohigata

Here, I would like to record my participation in the International Conference on EcoBalance 2022 from 31 October - 2 November.</p><p>The International Conference on EcoBalance, organized by the Institute of Life Cycle Assessment, Japan (ILCAJ), is held every two years. Recognized as one of the world's premier conferences for professionals from academia, industry, and government, the Ecobalance 2022 is in its 15th year and is held at the Fukuoka International Congress Center.</p><p>I was thrilled to attend for the first time! I met with researchers from major Japanese universities such as the University of Tokyo, Waseda University, Kyushu University, and Tohoku University, as well as other prestigious universities around the world such as ETH, Yale University, and Leiden University. The sessions were held in separate sessions for different topics. Due to the large number of accepted topics, many sessions were held in parallel. We need to check out the sessions that interest us and then go to a specific venue at a specific time.</p><p>In addition to the sessions, the conference also featured presentations by industry experts. For example, Mr. Hiroshi Ozeki from Nissay Asset Management Corporation spoke about Trends and expectations in the investment industry for carbon neutrality. It is believed that these explorations will significantly contribute to improving environmental and social sustainability in the medium to long term.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgXWlKd5q_7nrOxUXpTMSnmJH26mXGBB7XbEfXTS5bId6ttRL2eC6Ru2x8aDK6kd8UmOTP07kPfojG8sXoM8eilb3T_NkcJ9UU-TLhib_ArmqEBHm7fdHzb4mQkQ2o1tzxjpO22sL8lrKr8w47RnFJ-Xt4qEpQI9B4c5StfsEaONzrm1FogWoixzoZoLA/s3648/1.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3648" data-original-width="2736" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgXWlKd5q_7nrOxUXpTMSnmJH26mXGBB7XbEfXTS5bId6ttRL2eC6Ru2x8aDK6kd8UmOTP07kPfojG8sXoM8eilb3T_NkcJ9UU-TLhib_ArmqEBHm7fdHzb4mQkQ2o1tzxjpO22sL8lrKr8w47RnFJ-Xt4qEpQI9B4c5StfsEaONzrm1FogWoixzoZoLA/s320/1.jpg" width="240" /></a></div><p>Meanwhile, listening to the fluent and confident presentations of others at the conference immediately made me feel a lot more stressed. At the conference, I presented to the audience some of the progress of my research on determinants of changes in crucial environmental indicators for Global Commons Stewardship in China based on the MRIO model. I also received a lot of helpful comments during the conference. Once I finished my presentation, I was finally able to start enjoying the conference.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgfnhWhUJDlurFCsSCkeT9DmBTaNCuPmOw0oYE8S-dbeKHoOagBq-IyfU_QuK_E2i33mqu7agCWi3z9fjMuWLUXl7a21-k58J9b92zInA1e0Xq-4_zDW8WhFihtWA1Z9pEPPCWja4JnbL4vnOL84kLI5hTMRe3sfijEWbeZL8ztKAMbx5YgBP1G5a6_wQ/s1738/2.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1738" data-original-width="1276" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgfnhWhUJDlurFCsSCkeT9DmBTaNCuPmOw0oYE8S-dbeKHoOagBq-IyfU_QuK_E2i33mqu7agCWi3z9fjMuWLUXl7a21-k58J9b92zInA1e0Xq-4_zDW8WhFihtWA1Z9pEPPCWja4JnbL4vnOL84kLI5hTMRe3sfijEWbeZL8ztKAMbx5YgBP1G5a6_wQ/s320/2.jpg" width="235" /></a></div><p>I traveled non-stop to the different sessions to listen to the topics that interested me, which greatly enriched my perspective. On the evening of the 31st, I attended the Ecobalance Young Researchers' Workshop, where Professor Dr. Matthias Finkbeiner from Technical University Berlin gave a very interesting and humorous presentation on practical LCA. It was the first time I had a complete understanding of LCA assessments!</p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgsWzm-rtDfKKHU7_Uh-5XFH1oeytcNamIywdGFGmTVYKvx92oO1rrf1tdc4Xfk2Pvfy_ZlQaSaoGDIgw5TB3zn9acyExNNlnd3FYN8qq4uRoVjYlYT9-UNXMv4f0B6gqumfrnDJ7611-4TtW4qM_lLN5ny5fPG5V1r-fLy9z5UCExq3x2ygX0-yDJRMg/s3648/3.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2736" data-original-width="3648" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgsWzm-rtDfKKHU7_Uh-5XFH1oeytcNamIywdGFGmTVYKvx92oO1rrf1tdc4Xfk2Pvfy_ZlQaSaoGDIgw5TB3zn9acyExNNlnd3FYN8qq4uRoVjYlYT9-UNXMv4f0B6gqumfrnDJ7611-4TtW4qM_lLN5ny5fPG5V1r-fLy9z5UCExq3x2ygX0-yDJRMg/s320/3.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><p></p><p>Overall, the various experiences of the conference were an incredible eye-opener for me at the time and also honed my ability to act and judge independently, it was very memorable.</p><div><br /></div>kawasakigrouphttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06007323155129649997noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4649457671299187296.post-49812584766122652282022-10-31T16:48:00.004+09:002022-11-01T18:09:53.911+09:00~UNDP’s Mission~Partnership with Japan and Career <p> </p><p align="left" class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; mso-pagination: widow-orphan; text-align: left;"><b><span face=""MS Pゴシック"" style="color: #222222; font-size: 22pt; mso-ascii-font-family: "Century Gothic"; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-font-kerning: 0pt; mso-hansi-font-family: "Century Gothic";">【イベント案内】</span></b></p><p align="left" class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; mso-pagination: widow-orphan; text-align: left;"><b><span face=""MS Pゴシック"" style="color: #222222; font-size: 22pt; mso-ascii-font-family: "Century Gothic"; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-font-kerning: 0pt; mso-hansi-font-family: "Century Gothic";">~</span></b><b><span face=""Century Gothic",sans-serif" lang="EN-US" style="color: #222222; font-size: 22pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-fareast-font-family: "MS Pゴシック"; mso-font-kerning: 0pt;">UNDP(国連開発計画)’s Mission</span></b><b><span face=""MS Pゴシック"" style="color: #222222; font-size: 22pt; mso-ascii-font-family: "Century Gothic"; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-font-kerning: 0pt; mso-hansi-font-family: "Century Gothic";">~</span></b></p>

学部生の頃,私は洪水が常襲する途上国での洪水被害に関する研究をおこなってきました.特に教育年数や性別などの個人属性に着目して,洪水被害を分析しました.私の研究では,洪水被害を特徴付ける指標として,個人の収入損失に着目しました.分析の結果,農村部の女性を除いて,教育年数が長くなるほど,収入損失が小さくなることがわかりました.
この結果を,卒論の最終発表で社会基盤学科の皆様にオンラインでお伝えすることはできましたが,日本全国で自分の成果を発表できる機会が欲しいと思い,水文水資源学会に参加することにいたしました.
本学会は,下図のような京都大学宇治おうばくプラザで行われました.

京都大学に訪れるのが初めてで,かつ非常に大きなホールで皆の前で発表するという機会がなかったので,非常に良い経験となりました.水文学の専門家が多く発表を聞いている中で,まだ水文学に関する知識もそこまで深くない自分が発表するのは非常に緊張しました.
また,発表では同大学の生研に所属している山崎先生の発表が特に印象的で,既存の論文の形態にとらわれず,オピニオン論文として,新たな枠組みを設定することで,より多くの論文提出の機会を提供できるようになるとのことでした.一般的な論文の形式とは外れてしまいますが,非常に価値の高い主張というのは数多く存在すると思うので,このような通常の成果だけではなく,様々な論点での発表機会を与えてくださる本学会は非常に有意義だと感じました.下図が本学会の発表の様子です.

さらに,他にも,水文学の専門家の私にとっては非常に難しく感じる発表から,数人の学科同期の発表も聞くこともでき,非常に多くのことを学べました.
この発表会場が宇治にあり,近くに平等院鳳凰堂があったので,学会が始まる前の空いている時間に平等院鳳凰堂も訪れ,日本の歴史や京都の風情も感じることができ,個人的には大満足の3日間でした.
