Objective of the newly established Tsunami Disaster Prevention Measures SessionHiroshi Ichikawa
Presented at the third general assembly meeting of the International Tsunami Disaster Prevention Society held in Tokyo on Nov. 6, 2019. Abstract is as follows: The objective of the Tsunami Disaster Prevention Measures Session (TDPMS), newly established in October 2019 in the International Tsunami Disaster Prevention Society (ITDPS), is to prepare, by multi-disciplinary approach, publishing the GUIDELINE for planning a tsunami disaster prevention measures. This GUIDELINE based on the systematic descriptions on the hazard reduction measures and technics against the tsunami hazards, shall support the different local government and citizens living in different kinds of natural and social conditions, to make a tsunami disaster prevention and reduction plan designed appropriately for each of their local areas. In coming 2 years, the session will establish “the systematic description on the hazard reduction measures and technics against the tsunami hazards”, build up “the contents of the GUIDELINE for planning a tsunami disaster prevention measures”, investigate “the implementation plan of the GUIDELINE”, and get “the fund money necessary for publishing the GUIDELINE”. During these activities, this session also will clarify the features of the tsunami hazards and examine the differences among the official laws relating to disaster preventions and the documents already provided by various kinds of organizations including academic societies, civilian forums, and others. The final goal of this session is publishing the unprecedented GUIDELINE which only ITDPS can.
Summary report: Paper-based wearable ammonia gas sensorHajime Fujita
Paper electronics hold great potential that could replace conventional plastic electronics. Paper electronics are disposable and cost-effective, two distinct advantages for developing broadly accessible devices. However, the approach for functionalizing paper with electronic materials has not been sufficiently characterized from a chemical point of view. As a result, most paper-based electronic devices have an inferior electrical performance compared with plastic-based devices, which largely constrains their practical use. The design and fabrication of electronic materials on paper needs refinement to make paper electronics a valid, practical option. Here, we report a high-performance, paper-based, wearable ammonia sensor comprising composite poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene):poly(styrenesulfonate) (PEDOT:PSS) and iron(III) compounds. We combined different printing and coating methods to develop the ammonia-sensitive, composite substance PEDOT:PSS:Fe3+ on paper. Our sensor achieves 10-times smaller size than the conventional sensor on Kapton film and high tolerance for humidity without impairing practical sensor response. We demonstrate the utility of our device toward wearable ammonia-sensing in a facial mask and a nasal filter; wireless battery-free monitoring of food spoilage; and wireless battery-free monitoring of the ammonia level in a paper diaper. All the comprising materials—cellulose paper, PEDOT:PSS, and iron(III) compounds—are abundant and eco-friendly, a further benefit for applications in which biological tissues or disposable wearable products are eventually discarded with the sensor attached. Our approach may open the door to advanced healthcare based on ubiquitous wearable sensing.

Dengue virus, which is in the flavivirus family, is a worldwide spread virus and has huge impact on society, however, not many developing countries are recognizing its danger. Dengue virus is unique in terms of its four different serotypes. Multiple infection can easily cause severe dengue, appearing hemorrhage and organ damage. It is important to grasp which serotype the patient is infected, however, there is not enough data about each serotype in a year. To tackle the situation, we succeeded in the development of the serotype prediction system using stochastic process analysis. This system can predict the patient's serotype by simulating the past data. We also developed the simple and fast testing kit that can detect serotype with fluorescence, so that we can check the patient easily and get enough data to estimate the patients’ serotypes more accurate. In the future, this system can contribute to other flavivirus detection system.
