This report outlines a study undertaken at Minamisanriku, a small coastal village on the East Coast of Honshu, Japan, in late 2018.  The area relies heavily on fisheries and aquaculture for economic stability. While there, scientists, community leaders and individuals involved in the fisheries and aquaculture industry were interviewed to gain a qualitative understanding of the impacts of the 2011 tsunami caused by the Great East Japan Earthquake, particularly on the oyster industry and aquaculture in general in the region. The tsunami completely disrupted aquaculture operations, with a 93% loss of infrastructure. Consequently, stakeholders were presented with an opportunity to restructure in some way as they rebuilt the industry.  The resulting 66% reduction in some species densities within aquaculture lots has subsequently led to increased sustainability and increased product quality.  Those gains, paired with reduced material cost and efforts, have together resulted in a more socio-ecologically responsible aquaculture operation. This operation now generates at least same amount of revenue as pre-tsunami.

The great East Japan earthquake consisted of three catastrophes. The first one was the earthquake, the second one was the tsunami and the third one was nuclear power plant accidents. The magnitude 9 was recorded. After the earth quake, huge tsunami waves of above 16m height hit the east coast of Northeastern Japan. Many people died and many things were lost. The tsunami caused the accident of Fukushima first nuclear power plant which resulted in a serious radioactive pollution.

La acuicultura en Ecuador es una gran fuente de empleo y estabilidad económica, por lo tanto es importante realizar un estudio que mida el impacto de la aplicación del Decreto N°1391 divulgado en el Registro oficial N°454 del 15 de Octubre de 2008, el mismo que trata de la regularización a la industria acuícola del camarón y el sector acuícola en general, tomando en consideración aspectos ambientales y económicos. Se ha considerado el caso de las granjas acuícolas más afectadas por la regularización, ubicadas en la provincia de El Oro, Ecuador. En esta investigación descriptiva se aplicó encuestas que luego del análisis evidenciaron cómo se manifiesta la aplicación del Decreto N°1391 en la realidad de las camaroneras de la provincia del Oro y cómo se presenta en su entorno. Se evidenció que el 76% de los productores de camarón tuvieron que asumir, con su propio capital, los rubros adicionales que conllevó los diferentes procesos para el cumplimiento del mencionado decreto ejecutivo. AbstractAquaculture in Ecuador is a significant source of employment and economic stability. Therefore, it is relevant to conduct a study to measure the impact of the application of Decree No. 1391 reported in the Official Register No. 454 of October 15, 2008. It is the same adjustment to the shrimp aquaculture industry and the aquaculture sector, in general, considering environmental and economic aspects. We have reviewed the case of fish farms most affected by the regulation, located in the province of El Oro, Ecuador. In this detailed research surveys, they showed that after analyzing how the application of Decree No. 1391 in the reality of shrimp El Oro Province manifested and how it has applied in their environment. It showed that 76% of shrimp farmers had to assume, with their capital, additional items that led to the different processes for the fulfillment of that executive order.

The process of detection and elimination of errors on a continuous basis from any system is known as TQM. This helps in improvement of productivity, efficiency, cost reduction by improving the methods and minimizing waste materials. This study aims at identifying the basis pillars in RMG industry through application of TQM principles. RMG is the highest productive industrial sector in Bangladesh economy and improvement in the product quality will have direct effect on the economic stability. Tools such as flow charts, Pareto charts, Check sheets, Cause & Effect diagrams, Histograms and scatter diagrams are utilized from variety of industries in Banglaesh to analyse the data collected. The outcome shows that the process has helped in elimination and reduction in waste scrap materials. This has also help reducing the costs and enable the organization to enhance the utilization of available resources without further investment.

Purpose The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between oral language, literacy skills, age, and dialect density (DD) of African American children residing in two different geographical regions of the United States (East Coast and Midwest). Method Data were obtained from 64 African American school-age children between the ages of 7 and 12 years from two geographic regions. Children were assessed using a combination of standardized tests and narrative samples elicited from wordless picture books. Bivariate correlation and multiple regression analyses were used to determine relationships to and relative contributions of oral language, literacy, age, and geographic region to DD. Results Results of correlation analyses demonstrated a negative relationship between DD measures and children's literacy skills. Age-related findings between geographic regions indicated that the younger sample from the Midwest outscored the East Coast sample in reading comprehension and sentence complexity. Multiple regression analyses identified five variables (i.e., geographic region, age, mean length of utterance in morphemes, reading fluency, and phonological awareness) that accounted for 31% of the variance of children's DD—with geographic region emerging as the strongest predictor. Conclusions As in previous studies, the current study found an inverse relationship between DD and several literacy measures. Importantly, geographic region emerged as a strong predictor of DD. This finding highlights the need for a further study that goes beyond the mere description of relationships to comparing geographic regions and specifically focusing on racial composition, poverty, and school success measures through direct data collection.

Abstract. Background: Monitoring of suicide rates in the recovery phase following a devastating disaster has been limited. Aim: We report on a 7-year follow-up of the suicide rates in the area affected by the Great East Japan Earthquake, which occurred in March 2011. Method: This descriptive study covered the period from March 2009 to February 2018. Period analysis was used to divide the 108-month study period into nine segments, in which suicide rates were compared with national averages using Poisson distribution. Results: Male suicide rates in the affected area from March 2013 to February 2014 increased to a level higher than the national average. After subsequently dropping, the male rates from March 2016 to February 2018 re-increased and showed a greater difference compared with the national averages. The difference became significant in the period from March 2017 to February 2018 ( p = .047). Limitations: Specific reasons for increasing the rates in the recovery phase were not determined. Conclusion: The termination of the provision of free temporary housing might be influential in this context. Provision of temporary housing was terminated from 2016, which increased economic hardship among needy evacuees. Furthermore, disruption of the social connectedness in the temporary housing may have had an influence. Our findings suggest the necessity of suicide rate monitoring even in the recovery phase.
