    Basic Study of an Intellectual Agent Implementation for Scheduling Labor Reduction

    Get PDF
    publisherIn order to improve a quality of communication, we study a system to automate a personal schedule. The central part of the scheduling system is implemented as an intelligent agent build by a hybrid system with production and frame systems. The system is built as a Web system using the open source software such as Ruby, PostgreSQL, FreeBSD. We confirm that the basic operation of a scheduling generation is confirmed for sample tasks.departmental bulletin pape

    How does community disaster resilience affect individual resilience? : An empirical analysis of Japanese prefectures

    Get PDF
    This study empirically analyzed the impact of community disaster resilience on individual resilience. It employed quantitative empirical analysis using cross-sectional data from 47 Japanese prefectures to examine the extent to which the level of community resilience in Japanese prefectures affects the Disaster Resilience Scale for Individuals (DRSi), based on individual surveys across Japan. The analysis used a multilevel resilience model in which community-level resilience and personal attributes at the individual level determine DRSi. The primary conclusion was that community resilience decreased individual resilience to some extent. This is the first study to identify trade-offs between community and individual resilience and recommend strategic decisions to build resilience at the community and individual levels.本研究では,地域社会の災害レジリエンスが個人のレジリエンスに与える影響について実証分析を行う.日本の47都道府県の横断データを用いた定量的実証分析により,日本の都道府県の地域社会のレジリエンスレベルが,松川ら(2024)が日本全国の個人調査に基づいて開発したDisaster Resilience Scale for Individuals(DRSi)にどの程度影響を与えるかを調査する.この分析では,コミュニティ(都道府県)レベルのレジリエンスと個人レベルの個人属性がDRSiを決定する,マルチレベル・レジリエンス・モデルを用いている.我々の第一の結論は,コミュニティのレジリエンスが個人のレジリエンスを低下させるということである.これは,コミュニティと個人のレジリエンスの間のトレードオフを発見し,コミュニティと個人のレベルという異なるレイヤーでレジリエンスを構築するための戦略的決定を推奨する初めての研究である.departmental bulletin pape

    Evolution in the Policy Framework of the Community based Early Warning System in Mozambique.

    Mozambique, which is highly vulnerable to natural disasters because its location along the Indian Ocean coast, has enhanced its Early Warning Systems through significant reforms and the integration of community-based approaches since the devastating floods of 2000. This study explores these advancements, particularly focusing on integration of Community-based Early Warning Systems through the creation of Local Committees for Disaster Management and Risk Reduction which bridge national strategies with local actions. The study employs qualitative methods, including a comprehensive literature review and analysis of institutional documents, to assess the evolution of policy changes and stakeholder dynamics. The evaluates The enhancements in Mozambique's Early Warning System are evaluated and the critical role of both top-down meteorological forecasts and bottom-up community-driven initiatives are highlighted. Despite these improvements, challenges remain in last-mile connectivity and the effective dissemination of warnings to vulnerable communities. This study identifies these issues, proposes strategic recommendations, and contributes to the broader discourse on disaster risk reduction, emphasizing the importance of community involvement in national frameworks to improve disaster preparedness and response globally.インド洋沿岸に位置しているため自然災害に対して非常に脆弱なモザンビークは,2000年の壊滅的な洪水以降,大幅な改革とコミュニティベースのアプローチの統合を通じて早期警報システムを強化してきた.本稿では,これらの進歩について検討し,特に,国家戦略と地域活動を橋渡しする災害管理・リスク軽減のための地方委員会の設立を通じたコミュニティベースの早期警報システムの統合に焦点を当てる.この研究では,包括的な文献レビューや組織文書の分析などの定性的な方法を採用して,政策変更の進化と利害関係者のダイナミクスを評価する.これにより,モザンビークの早期警報システムの強化を評価し,トップダウンの気象予報とボトムアップのコミュニティ主導のイニシアチブの両方が果たす重要な役割を指摘する.しかしながら,これまでの改善にもかかわらず,一人ひとりの住民に対して,あるいは脆弱なコミュニティに対して警報を効果的に伝達するには,いまだ課題が残っている.この論文は,これらの問題を特定し,戦略的な政策提言を行い,災害リスク軽減に関するより広範な議論に貢献することを目的とし,結論として,世界的に災害への備えと対応を改善するための国家枠組みへのコミュニティの関与の重要性を強調して指摘する.JSPS KAKENHI Grant Number : 18H03793departmental bulletin pape

    Optimal stomatal behaviour around the world

    © 2015 Macmillan Publishers Limited. All rights reserved. Stomatal conductance (g s) is a key land-surface attribute as it links transpiration, the dominant component of global land evapotranspiration, and photosynthesis, the driving force of the global carbon cycle. Despite the pivotal role of g s in predictions of global water and carbon cycle changes, a global-scale database and an associated globally applicable model of g s that allow predictions of stomatal behaviour are lacking. Here, we present a database of globally distributed g s obtained in the field for a wide range of plant functional types (PFTs) and biomes. We find that stomatal behaviour differs among PFTs according to their marginal carbon cost of water use, as predicted by the theory underpinning the optimal stomatal model and the leaf and wood economics spectrum. We also demonstrate a global relationship with climate. These findings provide a robust theoretical framework for understanding and predicting the behaviour of g s across biomes and across PFTs that can be applied to regional, continental and global-scale modelling of ecosystem productivity, energy balance and ecohydrological processes in a future changing climate

    The heterogeneity-diversity-system performance nexus

    Get PDF
    International audienceABSTRACT Ever-growing human population and nutritional demands, supply chain disruptions, and advancing climate change have led to the realization that changes in diversity and system performance are intimately linked. Moreover, diversity and system performance depend on heterogeneity. Mitigating changes in system performance and promoting sustainable living conditions requires transformative decisions. Here, we introduce the heterogeneity–diversity–system performance (HDP) nexus as the conceptual basis upon which to formulate transformative decisions. We suggest that managing the heterogeneity of systems will best allow diversity to provide multiple benefits to people. Based on ecological theory, we pose that the HDP nexus is broadly applicable across systems, disciplines, and sectors, and should thus be considered in future decision making as a way to have a more sustainable global future
