Conference tuniso­Japanese university research: anaxis of co­operation, a bridge between the cultures
30 Tunisian doctorands in biotechnology, water, the environment and renewable energy will besent to JapanUn Japanese credit for the construction of various components of the technopôle of Borj Cédria
Some 300 participants, among whom 200 Tunisian academics and 60 Japanese academics, took sharewith work of the 6th session of the conference tuniso­Japanese on "the culture, science and technology",
placed under the aegis of the ministry for the scientific Research, the Technology and the Development ofcompetences, which proceeded in El Kantaoui November the 10 and 11. This conference is organized by
the technopôle of Borj Cédria, the university of Sousse, the university of 7­November of Carthage incollaboration with the university of Tsukuba. More than 134 oral communications and 55 posters or posted
communications were presented at the time of this conference which developed 4 broad topics, namely"biotechnology", "the environment and energy", "data processing, mathematics and the management of
the technological innovation" and, finally, "the culture and arts".
Six cultural representations relating to the theatre, the music and the Japanese dance took place on thisoccasion. The Tunisian cultural part was not in remainder, with the organization of musical evenings andtheatrical animated by the young people of the higher Institute of music and the higher Institute of the Art
schools de Sousse. Member of the Steering Committee of the conference at the national Institute ofscientific and technical research in Borj Cédria and president of friendly of the INRST, Mr. Abdelwaheb
Ghorbel underlines the strong presence of the researchers and Tunisian academics (approximately 200)
and Japanese (60).
"This important presence of Tunisian and Japanese researchers, says it, will certainly make it possible
to engage of the direct discussions in order to draw up bilateral, creative research projects of employment
and innovators".
Mr. Ahmed Noureddine Helal, president of the university of Sousse and president of the scientificcommittee, indicate on his side that several aims are had by this conference, of which reinforcement of thebonds of co­operation between Tunisian and Japanese universities on strategic research orientations,establishment of common research projects, the dynamization of the exchanges of students and teachers,
the establishment of joint diplomas and the reinforcement of the cultural exchanges on the level of thehigher institutions. The university of Sousse is studying with the university of Tsukuba (Japan), the projectof Japanese language teaching to the Faculty of Arts of Sousse and the co­operation in the field of
information technologies, of the history like in that of the dialogue between civilizations.
"We consider, in the future, the signature of conventions of partnership and exchanges in these fields".
In connection with the visions and future prospects for the technopôle of Borj Cédria, principalorganizing of this conference, Mrs. Manel Abderaba, D.G. of the technopôle, reveals that currently weconsider the organization of a training scheme of 30 Tunisian doctorands in Japan in the following
specialities: biotechnology, water and environment and, finally, renewable energy. The program will beapplied as of January 2006 following a procedure of selection. The selected students will follow a training
course in the research centers of the technopôle as well as a course of Japanese language. These same
students will leave to Japan in August 2006 for studies one duration 3 years in the Japanese universities
re­elected and will be trained in the sets of themes indicated. The equipment and the construction of thecomponents of the technopôle are carried out thanks to a credit granted by the Japanese Bank ofinternational co­operation, of a value of almost 100.000.000 of dinars. Lastly, of the executives and theTunisian researchers follow each year, and since 2005, a formation targeted in Japan on the valorization ofresearch and the management of the components of the technopôle. Several suggestive communications
were presented in the fields of biotechnology, the environment, energy, data processing, mathematics andthe management of the technological innovation.

The role of Arena
There is no doubt that the Alliance of research in North Africa (Arena) of the university of Tsukuba
plays an important part in the development of the relations of scientific exchange between the Japanesehigher institutions and certain African countries like Tunisia.
On this subject, Mr. Tatsuhito Fujimura, director of the genetic research center at the university ofTsukuba, indicate that Arena is a research center at the university of Tsukuba founded in 2003 andcomposed of 4 sections: biotechnology, environment in the arid regions, the information and thetechnology of the communications and, finally, arts and culture. It has as a role to establish scientificexchanges and academic between the Japanese higher institutions and the African countries, of which
Tunisia, Egypt, Libya, Morocco, Algeria, Mauritania... "I make a point of announcing that an outline
agreement of scientific and technical assistance between Arena and the ministry for the scientific Research,
the Technology and the Development of competences was signed on June 6, 2005. Arena is cooperatingwith the technopôle of Borj Cédria, the collaboration of the Japanese Bank of international co­operation(Jbic) and the Japanese Agency of international co­operation (Jica), and this, in the field of humanresources, the exchange of experts and trainees ".

Biotechnology and valorization of research"Of the research projects in biotechnology, in particular in the field of application of the plants forfood industry, the manufacture of drugs and cosmetics were established between the Japanese Agency ofinternational co­operation (Jica), the technopôle of Borj Cédria and the Center of biotechnology of Sfax,
with the collaboration of the university of Tsukuba and in particular Arena", recalls professor Takahiro
Morio, expert in biotechnology at the university of Tsukuba and working with the technopôle of Borj
Cédria, the beginning of its communication relating to "the biotechnology and the valorization ofscientific research with Arena. "This co­operation, specifies it, is concretized by the expert and experiencesharing. Currently, we continue research on the plants like the olive­tree, certain aromatic plants, and this,
to work out bio­drugs, cosmetic products, foodstuffs... ".

Biology molecular"We have drawn up research in biotechnology between Tunisia and Japan for two years, bearing on
the components of the plants in the arid regions in order to use them in the industrial field and especiallythe development of foodstuffs, drugs... in order to prevent or to treat certain diseases like the raisedcholesterolemy, arterial hypertension, the diabetes...", indicates Pr Hitoshi Miyazaki, specialist inmolecular biology at the university in Tsukuba, in its communication relating to "research in the field of
molecular biology". The plants, while adapting to the climatic factors (heat, dryness, cold, rain), produce
antioxydants to be protected. These same products of protection are extracted from these plants to ensurein the same way the protection of the man against certain diseases like the diabetes and cholesterol. "thediscovery of bio­drugs will make it possible to decrease the high expenses and the side effects of thechemical medical treatment", points out it.

Worn water: rejection zero
"There are several methods of water treatment used, of which most powerful in Tunisia is the natural
lagunage, which gave its evidence in the elimination of the pathogenic bacteria and which could give
effluents in conformity with the standards of rejection. What facilitates the re­use of this water purified inagriculture and in the parks ", underlines Dr. Ahmed Ghrabi, lecturer in sciences and technology of water
to the technopôle of Borj Cédria. Evoking the accumulation of muds in the basins of lagunage, which havea direct influence on the performances of the water treatments, Mr. Ghrabi insists in his communication on
the need for envisaging "traps" with sediments with the entry of the basins and periodically for evacuating
muds to ensure a better management. What corresponds at a less cost and a longer duration of theperformances. "the new orientation of the treatment and the recycling of worn water requires thedevelopment of a new concept based on rejection zero. All is treated and recycled. Nothing is lost ", it
concluded.

A marine phanérogame announced for the 1st time in Tunisia
During his communication on "the introduction and the discovery of the marine first phanérogame in
Tunisia", Mr. Atef Assali, engineer­researcher at the laboratory of sciences halieutics, the agronomic
national Institute of Tunisia (Inat), indicate that the phanérogame is a sea plant (halophila stipulacea)
introduced in the Mediterranean after the opening of Suez Canal. It was observed and discovered for the
first time by professor Hechmi Missaoui of Inat in 2003, and this, in the Gulf of Gabès, on both sides ofthe ship canal connecting Sfax to Kerkennah. The research prepared on the level of this plant in 2005,
indicates the professor, revealed that this one is likely to be invasive with the detriment of marine
ecological indigenous balance. It invades the zones where the endemic one is very fragile.

Genetic engineering plants
Professor Khaled Masmoudi, lecturer, director of the unit of genetic research molecular of the plants
in the center of biotechnology of Sfax, approached for its part "the genetic engineering of the plants". It
indicates that the studied genes contribute an effective share to the improvement of the tolerance of theplants to the salinity of the ground and the dryness. Indeed, the 3 genes which were insulated starting fromcorn, namely "sodium/hydrogene antiporter", "pyrophosphatase vacuolar" and "déhydrine", revealed an
improvement of the tolerance to salinity and the dryness when they "on­are expressed" in transgenic plants(tomato, corn, arabiodopsis...). "It is necessary to encourage research in the field of vegetablebiotechnology, and this by the adoption of a strategy authorizing the analysis of the transgenic plants in aconfined environment, and this, in order to show the transgenic effectiveness of the product as regards
tolerance and to carry out tests on the biosecurity", it declares.

Proteins implied in the diseases cardiovascular
Professor Youssef Ben Ammar, researcher in the center of the cardiovascular diseases in Osaka since2003, indicated during his communication on "the determination of the structures of proteins implied in
the cardiovascular diseases" that the exchanging hydrogen and sodium proteins are important for the
regulation of the pH and the volume of the cell and that these exchangers are controlled by proteins named
CHP in order to increase their physiological activities and to avoid the formation of cancers. "protein CHP
is very important in the field of the medical innovation", makes it observe.

Expression cultural
Mrs. Vivian Nobes Aoki, director of the workshop of Japanese traditional cultural expression,presented at the time of the conference the Japanese ballet dancing of the Hanyagi school called the danceof the lion. This workshop also knew the presentation of the theatre "No", typical of the expressions
cultural traditional Japanese woman. In addition, the ceremony of tea was presented by professor Ishizuka,of the doctoral school of the University of Tsukuba. Tunisian side, a musical spectacle "El Hadhra" wasviewed in El Kobba de Sousse at the time of the evening of Friday November 11. Let us note that thestudents of the Institute of the Art schools de Sousse, higher Institute of music and Bourguiba institute of
the living languages of Tunis presented texts of the Japanese theatre "No" in literary Arab language, and adance of the repertory of "Nihon Buyo", as well as spectacles of music and theatre. To announce finallythat professor Kimiyo Yamaura Chehidi, assistant in Japanese language at the university El Manar in Tunis
and doctorante in right to the legal, political and social Faculty of Science of Tunis, made a presentation
on "the reformist Yoshino Sakuzo (1878­1933) and the emancipation of the women".

Musical structure in Noh
by Akira Tamba, composer, musicologist, formerly Director of
Research at the CNRS, Paris
Following on from his previous paper on the history of Japaneseclassical music, given at the TJST 2003 held in Tunis, Professor
Tamba presented a brief overview of the different musicalelements found in Noh theatre. He then discussed in detail vocal
production in Noh theatre as compared to vocal production inWestern performing arts with emphasis on the melody andrhythm progression particular to Noh theatre. Participants wereasked to follow an original Noh libretto to reproduce thedrummer’s rhythm and vocalizations.

Session 4.
Demonstration of a Japanese tea ceremony
By Osamu Ishizuka, of the Doctoral School of Human andSocial Sciences, Tsukuba University, Japan, assisted by
Yuko Wada, of the Global Culture Nasu Association, JapanThe Japanese Tea Ceremony is another highly
stylized expression of traditional Japanese arts.
Performed in a restricted physical space with clearly
defined intention, it offers an opportunity ofobserving in detail the rhythm and progression ofeach gesture. The participants were asked toobserve and reproduce the gestures of the tea
ceremony in this context.

Session 5aWorkshop on movement and gesturewith Michiko Akiba and Yuko Wada of the Global
Culture Nasu Association, Japan
In this session, participants were asked to explore rhythm
and progression within a given space through learning aclassical dance sequence.
Standing and walking postures common to all expressionsof classical Japanese performance were presented,
followed by a discussion of postures specific to the Nihon
Buyo dance-theatre in order to portray the different types ofcharacter, male-female, warrior-carpenter, noblewomancountrywoman, etc.
The use of the fan to portray emotion, describe scenery,
represent a stage prop such as a book, a sake bottle, etc.
were presented, and the use of hand gesture forpunctuation and rhythm were explored.

Session 5b
Work session on text translation with
Mohamed Bouri and Akira Tamba

The focus of this session was on translating extracts from the No play Hagoromo in order torender a text that could be danced or acted in Arabic without altering the original Japanese rhythm
and progression. Also taken into consideration for the translation was: the form of the original text,
whether song, recitative, declamatory, etc.; the type of actor and his accompanying movement;
the rhythm within the overall action of the play; and the rhythm and consonance of the originaltext for poetic effect.

BACKGROUND
Since 1997, Tunisian–Japanese cooperation in science and technology has gone through a new era
by starting and intensifying academic meetings. More than thirty joint seminars and symposia have beenorganized since, accompanied by various exchanges of visiting researchers in both directions. A new leap
has been registered since the Japanese Society for the Promotion of Science (JSPS), the main governmental
funding institution for research in Japan, has become one of the main official sponsors.
This year’s exceptionality is that it will be held as a satellite event and just few days before theWorld Summit on the Information Society (WSIS).

THE 6TH TUNISIAN-JAPANESE SEMINAR ON CULTURE,
SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY (TJCST)The 6th Edition of TJCST (TJCST-2005) will be organized by Borj-Cedria Science and Technology
Park (Ecopark) and the Alliance for Research on North Africa (ARENA) on November 10th and 11th 2005.
It will cover the following topics:- Informatics, Mathematics, Management of Technological Innovation- Biotechnology- Environment including Water Resources in Arid Land and energy- Humanities including Culture, History, Japanese Language, Anthropology, etc.

Strategies of salt resistance in
halophytes

Halophytes are plants, which are able tocomplete their life cycle in a substrate rich in
NaCl. The sustainable use of halophytic species
is a promising approach to valorize strongly
salinised zones unsuitable for conventional
agriculture and mediocre waters. There alreadymany halophytic species used for economic(human food, fodder) or ecological interests (soildesalinisation, dune fixation, CO2-sequestration).
However, a precondition for a suitableutilisation of suitable halophytes is the precise
knowledge about their salinity tolerance and thevarious mechanisms enabling a plant to grow intheir natural saline biotope. This study focuseson the wide variety of adaptations which havebeen employed by different halophytes toovercome the problems arising from high salt
concentration in the soil.
Salt-tolerant metabolic pathways werereported for some algae species but not forhigher plants. Moreover, no differences were
found between in vitro salt-sensitivity of key
enzymes from halophytes and glycophytes.

While high intracellular salt concentration(above 0.4 M) inhibit enzymes activity through a
direct damage to protein structure, toxic effects
on cells occur at much lower concentration(about 0.1 M). Salt-resistant plant must,
therefore, either protect sensitive metabolic
pathways or avoid hazardous levels of toxic ionsin the cytosol. Two strategies were adopted byhalophytes. The dicotyledonous species arecapable to compartmentalize Na+ in theirvacuoles (osmotic regulation), or to export it insalt glands at their leaf surface. This inclusive
strategy is efficient because it is associated with ahigh-growth potentialities and sequestration of
inorganic ion in the vacuole. Because of toxic
effects of higher salinity in the cytoplasm several
organic solutes with low-molecular weight are
accumulated in this compartment in order tomaintain an osmotic balance between thiscompartment and vacuole. The second strategy(salt
avoidance),isadoptedbymonocotyledonous halophytes. In these plants,
which often display low growth potentialities,
deleterious salt concentration in the cytosol can
be avoided through salt buildup in cell walls,
salt distribution to older organs or tissues, andthrough salt glands.

The drought-tolerance tactics of pearl
millet, root development vs. osmoregulation
KUSAKA Masayuki , Tatsuhito FUJIMURA
Institute of Life and Environmental Sciences,
University of Tsukuba, JapanPearl millet(Pennisetum glaucum [L.] Leeke) is known to adapt tovery dry conditions, however, the control of water
loss and dehydration tolerance to drought is still notcompletely understood. Effects of water stress on root
morphologies, osmotic relations, and stomatal
conductance contributing to plant growth or turgor
maintenance was investigated.
Water stress was imposed by withholding
water for 3 weeks at the seedling stage in agreenhouse. Irrigated treatments and two stresstreatments were conducted in a tube culture
