Functional subgraph enrichments for node sets in interaction networks

description: Frequent subgraph mining (FSM) is a common but complex problem within the data mining field that has gained in importance as more graph data has become available. However traditional FSM finds all frequent subgraphs within the graph dataset, while often a more interesting query is to find the subgraphs that are most associated with a specific set of nodes. Nodes of interest might be those that are associated with a specific disease, or those that are differentially expressed in an omics experiment.

We have developed a subgroup discovery algorithm to find subgraphs in a single graph that are associated with a given set of nodes. The association between a subgraph pattern and a set of nodes is defined by its significant enrichment based on a Bonferroni-corrected hypergeometric probability value, and can therefore be considered as a network-focused extension of traditional gene ontology enrichment analysis. We demonstrate the operation of this algorithm by applying it on two distinct problems, namely identification of gene ontology network motifs associated with duplicated genes in yeast, and differential proteins corresponding to biofilm formation in E.coli. These applications could all be tackled with the same exact algorithm despite their diversity and the results show that in each case we can find relevant functional subgraphs enriched for the selected nodes.

description: Depuis quelques années, on peut noter les conséquences du réchauffement climatique par l'augmentation des phénomènes climatiques extrêmes (sécheresses, précipitations abondantes, épisodes caniculaires…). Ces conséquences modifient fondamentalement les conditions environnementales dans lesquelles les bâtiments sont conçus pour fonctionner. Ainsi, un bâtiment, prévu initialement dans nos régions pour se protéger des rigueurs de l'hiver, doit s'adapter afin de préserver le confort thermique des occupants. Récemment, des efforts considérables ont été déployés pour développer de nouvelles solutions de rafraîchissement « passives » afin de limiter les surchauffes estivales et de diminuer la consommation énergétique des systèmes de climatisation des bâtiments. Dans ce papier, on s'intéresse plus particulièrement à une technique de rafraîchissement passif qui est la rétention d'eau. L'objectif de ce travail est d'évaluer l'intérêt de ce système par rapport à d'autres technologies. Pour cela, un prototype expérimental à échelle réduite, représentant un bâtiment climatisé possédant une toiture-terrasse, a été mis en place et instrumenté. Différents prototypes de toitures sont considérés (bitume, revêtement « cool », bassin d'eau) et testés en climat océanique (La Rochelle, France). Ce prototype permet d'évaluer le flux de chaleur traversant la toiture, les températures de surface de l'enveloppe et de l'ambiance intérieure. Les différentes techniques de rafraîchissement passif ainsi que la référence bitumineuse testées sont comparées en prenant en considération les mêmes conditions météorologiques données par une station météorologique. Les résultats montrent que, dans un climat océanique (La Rochelle), les solutions du revêtement « cool » et du bassin d'eau génèrent un refroidissement passif significatif en termes de réduction de température de surface de toiture. Pour le bassin d'eau, cette baisse de température de surface par rapport à une toiture bitumineuse sèche peut atteindre 27$^{\circ}$C, permettant ainsi de minimiser les charges thermiques traversant la toiture et de réduire de façon importante les besoins en climatisation pendant la période estivale.

description: Right wing Extremism on the Japanese Internet and the Zaitokukai The paper discusses the Zaitokukai – a prominent organization of the ACM (Action Conservative Movement) – in the context of xenophobic tendencies on the Internet as much as the Internet as tool for propaganda. First, the development of Internet-based hate speech/neo-nationalist sentiment or commitment in Japanese net-spheres and its structure are discussed by applying Akihiro Kitada’s (2003/2005) approach. Next, some findings on right wing tendencies on the Japanese Internet by Tsuji (2008) are summed up. Third, the focus turns to the Zaitokukai itself, especially on the mobilization of Internet users to attend demonstrations.

description: Developing and validating a bioinformatics pipeline for a clinical assay is frequently a costly process; in some cases it includes the acquisition of limited patient samples with extremely rare genotypes. To aide in the validation process, we have developed a Galaxy workflow to generate synthetic FASTQ files with known mutations provided by the user along with those sourced from dbSNP. Researchers can use these FASTQ files to mimic various mutations types including single nucleotide variants, insertions, deletions, translocations, and copy number variations. Researchers can optimize and evaluate the expected efficiency of their bioinformatics pipeline using synthetic samples simulated at various sequencing depths to mimic both germline and somatic events. In addition, changes to existing pipelines can easily be re-verified using static synthetic datasets as the gold standard reference. The workflow uses several open source tools to retrieve the genomic location of variants in HGVS notation (Transvar) and simulate reads from common sequencing platforms (ART). A custom sequencing profile can be provided to ART to simulate reads with a base quality and call rate similar to specific sequencing machines used in the lab. The workflow described here provides a solution to the regulatory requirement for validation and re-validation of clinical bioinformatics pipelines.

description: From Abenomics to »Proactive Pacifism«: Developments in Japanese Foreign Policy 2013/2014 In the first two years of the Abe administration, Japan has witnessed one of the most dramatic changes of its foreign and security policy and to a lesser degree also its economic policy since the 1960s. The first year was dominated by Prime Minister Abe’s policies of economic reform and growth, widely referred to as »Abenomics«, which in the years 2013 and 2014 have led to a speeding up of negotiations about economic partnership agreements, but also to a severe rise in Japan’s foreign trade deficit. Between mid-2013 and mid-2014, Abe initiated and partly implemented a series of policies that he termed »proactive pacifism« (sekkyokuteki heiwashugi), with the objective to increase Japan’s national defense and its role in regional and global security affairs. This chapter analyzes these policies and their effects on bilateral relations with ten different countries and the EU, as well as three core foreign policy fields.

description: The main purpose of the paper is development, implementation, and testing of a low-cost portable system to assist partially paralyzed patients in their hand rehabilitation after strokes or some injures. Rehabilitation includes time consuming and repetitive exercises which are costly and demotivating as well as the requirements of clinic attending and direct supervision of physiotherapists. In this work, the system consists of a graphical user interface (GUI) on a smartphone screen to instruct and motivate the patients to do their exercises by themselves. Through the GUI, the patients are instructed to do a sequence of exercises step by step, and the system measures the electrical activities (electromyographic signals EMG) of the user's forearm muscles by Myo armband. Depending on d database, the system can tell whether the patients have done correct movements or not. If a correct movement is detected, the system will inform the user through the GUI and move to the next exercise. For preliminary results, the system was extensively tested on a healthy person.

description: There are numerous taxonomy assignment tools available in the bioinformatics field for metagenomics studies, but the performance of these tools has not been well studied on the same set of samples by a third party. Our goal is to measure the discrepancies and consistencies of several popular taxonomy classifiers on the same samples and to compare the results obtained with different sequencing technologies. In this study, 8 stool samples were collected and sequenced with both whole genome shotgun and 16s sequencing methods. We compared the consistency of taxonomy profiling using (1) five popular off-the-shelf taxonomy profiling softwares: Mothur and Qiime for 16s amplicons, and Gottcha, Metaphlan2 and Metaphyler for shotgun reads; (2) MEGAN’s Lowest Common Ancestor (LCA) taxonomy profiling algorithm using NCBI Megablast-based output between three databases: nt (non-redundant nucleotide), nr (non-redundant amino acid) and 16s microbial nucleotide. From approach (1), we found the taxonomic composition from 16s amplicons is a useful estimate of the whole genome shotgun reads. Mothur, Qiime, Metaphyler and Metaphlan2 showed similar clustering patterns, although Gottcha returned distinctive results. From approach (2), we found that when comparing across different sequencing/processing methods, shotgun reads are the most stable regardless of database types, while 16s reads show different beta diversity among the three databases. Comparing across different databases, we found shotgun reads have a higher beta diversity when comparing to 16S amplicons, and nt database gives the most different taxonomic profiles.

description: During the last decade, the development of microfabrication technologies for the fabrication of Micro Electro-Mechanical Systems (MEMS) has led to the development of an increasing number of microfluidic technologies. However, the emergence of MEMS, has highlighted that the behavior of fluids in micro-channels is not necessarily the same as the one experienced at the macroscopic scale. This has led to numerous questions regarding the applicability of the predictions based on conventional assumptions for gas-phase microflows. Previous experiments on a thermal micromachine based on a Stirling cycle were carried out in our institute, and have highlighted thermal issues, high pressure drops and difficulties to understand oscillating flows at these microscales. In the literature, the effects of various parameters such as working fluid, cross-sectional geometry of duct, channel wall roughness and aspect ratio have already been studied for unidirectional permanent flows. However, fluid flow and heat transfer in oscillatory flows are still not yet mastered and require further research work. Thus, the objective of the present study is to investigate numerically permanent and oscillating gas flows in microchannels with and without temperature gradient. The aim is to obtain reference data that will be compared to the correlations obtained in the literature, before being compared later on with experimental results. A three-dimensional model of microchannel is established and simulated using the commercial code ANSYS Fluent. The influences of working fluids, fluid temperature, geometrical parameters (such as hydraulic diameter, length of the channel and cross-sectional geometry of duct) are investigated, as well as the associated minor and major losses. The pressure drop data are used to characterize the friction factor over a range of aspect ratio from 0.024 to 1 and Reynolds number from 0.1 to 100 with Air, Helium, Hydrogen and Nitrogen as working fluids. This numerical analysis will be completed by an experimental study with micro-channels that are currently being microfabricated in the MIMENTO cleanroom facility of the FEMTO-ST Institute. They will be instrumented with temperature and pressure sensors, manufactured and calibrated in our institute, that will provide local measurements inside the micro-channel. The experimental setup, that will allow both the studies for permanent and alternate gas flows, is currently under construction.

description: Abenomics as Success Story? Japan’s Economy before and after the Consumption Tax Increase One and a half year has passed since Prime Minister Shinzō Abe launched his ambitious economic revival plan widely known as »Abenomics«, aimed at exiting deflation and putting Japan’s economy back on a sustainable growth path. It consists of three »arrows« – aggressive monetary easing, flexible fiscal policy and a long-run growth strategy. While the first two arrows have already been implemented, the third – possibly the most important – arrow is still on its way. Implementing all three mechanisms in a simultaneous way has proved difficult. However, in March 2014, Abenomics seemed to have realized its desired effects in terms of a stronger growth and a trend of rising consumer prices. But after the government finally decided to raise the consumption tax from 5 to eventually 10 per cent to spur fiscal consolidation in September 2013, concerns arose whether the measures envisioned by the »Japan Revitalization Strategy« would enable economic actors to resist the anticipated negative impact of the tax hike. A closer look at the key elements of economic growth reveals medium to long-term downside risks in private consumption as well as government consumption. With little possibility for the trade balance to improve in the short to medium term, decisive structural reform is needed to strengthen private investment. So far, the sharp drop of domestic demand following the first stage of the tax hike in April 2014 has confirmed pessimistic views. If the slowdown of the economy prolongs, resistance to deregulation might grow and a timely and comprehensive implementation of Abenomics’ third arrow seems to be unlikely.

description: Populations of individuals may now be sequenced due to new technological advances, allowing for studies into the correlation between the genome and behavior. Understanding the genome of a species is important for analyzing species adaptation and diversity. We seek to utilize genomic data to understand how variations in the genome are influencing behavior. We resequenced white-throated sparrows (Zonotrichia albicollis) with the Ion Torrent Personal Genome Machine (PGM) and identified variants, including single nucleotide polymorphisms, insertions, and deletions. Z. albicollis has two morphological variations due to a chromosomal rearrangement, resulting in different behaviors, including aggression, promiscuity, and nesting in diverse habitat types. To identify potential variants, we compared sequences to the NCBI reference genome of a tan male Z. albicollis. We hypothesize that genomic adaptations are correlated with phenotypic characteristics and expect phenotypic and genotypic differences to exist both within and between morphs due to individual differences. We further hypothesize greater genomic differences between morphs than within morphs due to reduced recombination within the rearrangement known to vary between morphs. We have currently identified 1172 unique variants in Z. albicollis (1088 SNPs, 18 insertions, 23 deletions, and 43 multiple nucleotide polymorphisms) within six sequenced individuals. Significantly more SNPs were identified than other variant types combined. Individual variants have also been identified which are unique to morph or sex. Understanding the genomic components driving behavior and local adaptation can improve management techniques for the conservation of species and habitat and improve understanding of how the genome impacts phenotypes, including behaviors and diseases.

description: Ikumen: Japan’s ›New Fathers‹ as a New Market? While fathers have generally held a distant position in the Japanese family in the past few decades, the last few years have seen changes in the image of fathers in Japanese society. The Japanese public increasingly recognizes the importance of father involvement in everyday family life, and more and more men are making efforts to actively engage in childcare. This is illustrated through ikumen, a popular term used in Japan to describe fathers who are actively involved in child-rearing. Ikumen receive widespread media attention as well as support from the Japanese government, which hopes to use these »nurturing fathers« to counter declining birth rates. This paper deals with the economic side of the ikumen phenomenon. After giving a general overview of the ikumen phenomenon, we set out to give an outline of an emerging ikumen market. To do this, we make use of quantitative and qualitative data gathered from secondary data analysis, expert interviews, a content analysis of the magazine FQ Japan as well as ethnographic research. Based on this research, we examine a recent surge in ikumen goods, business initiatives that aim to bind involved fathers as customers, the economic potential of the ikumen market and the relationship between the ikumen phenomenon and the ikumen market. Our results show that the ikumen market can be traced back not to business-side innovation but to processes of transformation in Japanese society. Aiming to turn nurturing fathers into customers, businesses themselves are becoming participants in this ongoing example of social change, and partake in shaping a symbiotic relationship between the ikumen market and the ikumen phenomenon.

description: ›Abenomics‹ and the Shunto of 2014: The impact of income, employment, wealth and demographic developments on Japan’s growth policies As export led growth is no longer an option for Japan, the stimulation of domestic demand through increased purchasing power is of decisive importance for the ultimate success or failure of Abenomics and its declared growth objectives. This article looks at income developments, wealth distribution, demographic trends and the structural changes in Japan’s labour market during the last two decades. Two parameters have been declared as decisive by the Abe government: the base wage increase during the spring offensive (Shunto) of 2014 and the increased employment of women in the qualified labour market. Hence they are analysed in greater detail. In conclusion we find the base wage increases too minimal and too partial (benefiting only a minority of the work force) to compensate for the income losses of the past decades and for the current inflation and sales tax hike. At the same time the government’s programmes for increased female labour participation and career enhancement appear once again to be too non-committal to make much of an impact. In conclusion, the article doubts the continued validity of pursuing growth policies in a highly developed country with saturated markets, with an acutely aging and shrinking population, with negative balances of trade and an out-migrating industrial base. It appears that the continued reliance on debt financed permanent growth stimuli is a rather too risky and ultimately self-defeating policy. Rather, the country should consider planned downsizing, with quality of life objectives in line with her population losses as a more sensible option.

description: Duodenal ulcer perforation is still a common complication of chronic peptic ulcer disease. Despite the wide spread use of anti‑secretory and H. pylori eradication therapy, the incidence of perforated duodenal ulcer (PDU) has changed little. Most of the literature pertaining to the situation in the developed world, showed that the disease is largely confined to the elderly patients taking ulcerogenic medications. The situation in the developed nations is summed up by Johnson: “The surgeon’s major role in the management of peptic ulcer disease will be the performance of life‑saving emergency operations in the elderly unfit patient.” In contrast to the developing world, the patients are younger and have a long life‑time of potentially useful activity ahead of them as anti‑secretory and anti‑H. pylori eradication drugs are been freely used, we had expected an improvement in this disease condition.
Analysis of small non-coding RNAs of poorly annotated species in Galaxy with the help of ortholog information of well annotated species

description: The analysis of RNA-seq data with a basic analysis pipeline including quality control, filtering, trimming, and adapter clipping followed by mapping to a reference genome or transcriptome is a straightforward task using Galaxy. For processing of smallRNA-Seq data it is necessary to modify this analysis pipeline because the resulting reads correspond, at least in theory directly to a small RNA. This leads to a different mapping strategy using BLASTn for short sequences. An additional common problem is that the number of annotated small non-coding RNAs is very low for certain species including pig and cattle which makes it very difficult to annotate smallRNA data in such species. In human a great variety of non-coding RNAs are known compared to other mammalian species that gave us the idea to use the ortholog information of well annotated species. Our workflow is mainly based on basic Galaxy tools and some own in-house scripts. The idea is to use well annotated related species information to improve the annotation of each sequence found in smallRNA-Seq results. First we use the basic analysis pipeline and check for quality, filter, trim and clip the adapter sequence. Afterwards we count and filter the unique sequence reads directly with a combination of different Galaxy tools plus additional tools developed in our group. These reads are mapped with BLASTn-short to align them to all transcripts of our sequenced species including non-coding RNAs and related well annotated species. The collection of BLAST databases contain sequences from mirBASE (precursor and mature mircoRNAs), sequences from NCBI and Ensembl, mostly non-coding RNAs but also protein-coding transcripts, as well as tRNA and piRNA cluster sequences. Finally, all BLAST results have to be filtered and joined by removing all duplicated hits. The annotated sequences are used for DEG analysis with EdgeR and/or DESeq2.

description: Setsuden: The Post-Fukushima Energy Crisis The Fukushima nuclear disaster in 2011 triggered a prolonged energy shortage that gradually spread all over the country. While the political and economic consequences of the disaster have been studied in detail, the enormous success of the collective power saving efforts that helped to deal with the energy shortage crisis has often been overlooked. The various official and private measures that were taken to decrease consumption also helped to enable Japan to manage with almost no nuclear power until today. Energy as a resource generally remains somehow abstract and ›invisible‹ in everyday live, but this perception profoundly changed due to the unfolding crisis. The high dependence of Tōkyō’s modern lifestyles on a reliable energy supply suddenly became obvious, and people were forced to adapt to the new realities in many different aspects. The powers saving efforts after Fukushima demonstrate the huge potential that lies in even subtle changes of every-day social practices. This paper depicts the profound changes in Tōkyō’s energy situation, and explores how official campaigns and voluntary efforts to raise awareness about energy consumption are reflected in the everyday lives of Tōkyō citizens.

description: Omotenashi – Japanese Hospitality in the Face of the Olympic Games On the 7th September 2013, Tōkyō was selected as the host city of the Olympic and Paralympic Summer Games 2020. Soon afterwards, the Japanese mass media began to use the word omotenashi (hospitality) more frequently, especially in connection with the games, and it suddenly became a buzzword. In this paper, I research the reasons for this phenomenon. One reason might be the fact that shortly before the Japanese capital was chosen, during the final presentations by the representatives of the applicant cities, newscaster Christel Takigawa used the word omotenashi to promote Tōkyō in front of the IOC. However, upon closer examination, it becomes clear this instance of the word being used is only one example, and the term omotenashi had already been gaining attention in the mass media since 2000, especially in the context of export business or domestic tourism. In view of the Olympic Games 2020, the Japanese government is trying to promote Tōkyō as a safe and tourist-friendly city, especially as it has a number of problems to face internationally, most prominently in connection with the ongoing nuclear crisis at the Fukushima Dai’ichi plant, as well as some racist comments made by well-known politicians. In an attempt to remake the image of the city, the government is trying to promote the idea of hospitality to the Japanese citizens, even going as far as to declare omotenashi a part of Japan’s »unique« culture. But what is omotenashi originally? Who will gain from promoting it in this way? Who will lose? What role do the Japanese mass media play?

description: Japanese Media and the Fukushima Nuclear Disaster What role did the Japanese media play in the Fukushima nuclear disaster? Foreign observers have concluded that Japanese citizens had less information about the nuclear accident than those outside the country. The paper reviews secondary material and Japanese newspapers to analyze the role of the media in the communication of the disaster. Research on the political role of Japanese media can be divided into two groups. Many studies underline that Japanese media lack criticism of the government and don’t fulfill their function as watchdog or fourth estate. They criticize the press club system as an obstacle to investigative reporting, the media’s proximity to the state and power holders and the exclusion of outsiders. Other interpretations see the Japanese mass media as constantly critical of the government. It is argued that they have great influence on politics and achieve a pluralization of the policy process through interaction with various groups. The same dichotomy is reproduced in a discussion about the reporting of the nuclear accident. The paper gives an overview of research on the political role of the Japanese media. The reporting of the Fukushima crisis is scrutinized through newspaper archives of three national newspapers and secondary sources on the portrayal in five television channels. It is argued that the category of »media« must be replaced with more differentiated categories like media enterprises or media groups. Against the background of the empirical evidence from the reporting of the Fukushima nuclear accident it is reflected on useful categories and on explanations for variation in the reporting of the analyzed media units.

description: We have developed SeqResults to enable simple comparison of libraries across experiments. The Galaxy-integrated component captures metadata and results in a relational database. Results are available via a simple web site and Tableau visualizations. SeqResults has recently been extended with RNA-seq features. It aggregates simple metrics like fractions of reads on exons, introns and other genomic regions, average 5'-3' coverage and alignment efficiency. However, summary metrics are only part of the story. Accurate representation of transcript levels is important to any RNA-seq experiment. We present a simple interface to compare transcript levels as well as 5'-3' coverage profiles of individual transcripts across experiments. SeqResults now contains millions of individual results from 6841 libraries produced during development of NEBNext library preparation reagents.

description: The National Resource for Translational and Developmental Proteomics (NRTDP) at Northwestern University has developed a Galaxy Project based Top-Down proteomics search portal. This portal allows academic researchers free access to the NRTDP’s most advanced search algorithms in an easy to use and structured way. Academic researchers request access to the portal through the NRTDP webpage.

The NRTDP has created a standard workflow that allows academics to easily search their instrument data files. This workflow utilizes NRTDP developed tools to convert instrument data files, search those files, estimate false discovery rate and create a search output tdReport. The tdReport is viewable in another free NRTDP software offering, the Top Down Viewer.

After the search has completed, the workflow adds confidently identified proteoforms to theProteoform Repository at the Consortium for Top Down Proteomics. As of March, 2016, UniProt includes cross-references to this repository.

The portal is accessible through a local Galaxy instance hosted on Northwestern University Virtual Infrastructure, uses Pulsar (version 0.5.0) to connect to a Windows 10 Server and to Northwestern University’s HPC cluster environment and uses DRMAA to access the Northwestern University scheduler.

description: The Prime Minister and the Nuclear Accident: On Evaluating Naoto Kan’s Crisis Management during the Fukushima Crisis Crisis management during the Fukushima nuclear accident by the Japanese government and its head, Prime Minister Naoto Kan, has been widely criticized, especially in the conservative media, e. g. the Yomiuri Shinbun. Kan’s aggressive style and tendency for micromanagement caused confusion and hindered an effective response to the accident, according to this view. This paper reviews Kan’s crisis management based on three key events: His visit to the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant on the morning of March 12, his role in the decision to use seawater for reactor cooling on the afternoon of March 12, and his reaction to the plan by TEPCO, the operator of the nuclear plant, to evacuate Fukushima Daiichi on March 15. The paper concludes that the negative effects of Kan’s crisis management cannot be proven, and that his negative response to TEPCOs evacuation request may have prevented an even greater catastrophy. The paper further concludes that adverse evaluations of Kan’s crisis management are related to his personal political style, the political situation during his premiership and his changed attitude towards nuclear energy after the accident. In any case, the challenges Kan faced as Japan’s highest political authority during the crisis deserve keen international attention, since nuclear accidents may happen elsewhere in the future.

description: Counting (on) Women: DPJ and Gender Quota In the Japanese Parliament, women are dramatically underrepresented. In more than a hundred countries this democratic deficit is addressed through the introduction of gender quotas. In most cases these equality guarantees have proven to be effective in securing equal access to political mandates for both sexes. In Japan, however, this so-called Positive Discrimination approach is considered far more cautiously due to the liberal democratic framework within which Japanese politics is embedded. Nevertheless, in late 2014, the Democratic Party of Japan declared its intention to introduce a party-level quota system, raising several questions: What are the true motives behind this unexpectedly progressive step? And what does this mean for the prospect of actual realization? Using the analysis framework of Mona Lena Krook, this study differentiates between principled stands and strategic incentives structuring the DPJ’s decision. It shows that, although the DPJ does indeed hold strong principled stands, encouraging it in general to secure equal opportunities for both sexes, this motive alone is not strong enough to push the DPJ to the final stage of implementation. The most potent but strategic incentive to do so seems to be the fear of losing its Issue Ownership in this policy field to the Liberal Democratic Party.

description: A »Normal State« at last? Abe’s Planned Departure from the Post-war Regime Undoubtedly, Abe Shinzō is one of the most conservative Prime Ministers in Japan’s recent history. Abe, who is serving his third term as Prime Minister, has stated on different occasions that one of Japan’s foremost goals is to depart from the post-war regime. Abe has since tried to tackle this task on several levels and, according to some observers, is pursuing a nationalistic agenda. In the field of security policy, Abe wants to soften the pacifistic norm in Japan and replace it with a concept called »proactive contribution to peace«. In order to foster this new concept, the Abe administration has introduced several measures, e. g. the formulation of a National Security Strategy, the introduction of a National Security Council and the reformulation of the National Defense Guidelines. But the most ambitious goal in this realm has been the reinterpretation of Article 9 of the constitution, in order to allow Japan limited rights of collective self-defense. In the field of domestic policy, the Abe administration is trying to silence critical voices. In 2014, a highly controversial secrecy law was introduced, that allows ministries to designate information deemed to be sensitive as secret, and that could jail whistleblowers for 10 years. Critics view this as an attack on press freedom. Also, the Abe administration has increased the pressure on the press, particularly the Asahi newspaper. This paper examines the different measures of the Abe administration. Has Abe really replaced the Yoshida-Doctrine with the Abe-Doctrine, or are these measures merely old wine in new bottles?

description: National Security as a Dominating Factor of Japanese Foreign Policy 2014/2015 Japan’s foreign relations were strongly dominated by security concerns in 2014 and 2015. Almost all bi-, tri-, and multilateral consultations and treaties of the second Abe Administration are reactions to increasingly assertive Chinese behavior, not just towards Japan, but also towards many states in East Asia. Prime Minister Abe, his foreign minister Kishida and his defense minister Nakatani have worked hard to intensify security ties, not just with the United States, but also with Japan’s new security partners, such as Australia, India, the EU, and states in Southeast Asia. This paper documents and analyses Japan’s relations with these partners and its neighboring states, before focusing on the three policy fields: security policy, trade policy, and development policy.

description: With mobile apps rapidly permeating all aspects of daily living with use by all segments of the population, it is crucial to support the evaluation of app usability for specific impaired users to improve app accessibility. In this work, we examine the effects of using our \textit{augmented virtuality} impairment simulation system--\textit{Empath-D}--to support experienced designer-developers to redesign a mockup of commonly used mobile application for cataract-impaired users, comparing this with existing tools that aid designing for accessibility. We show that the use of augmented virtuality for assessing usability supports enhanced usability challenge identification, finding more defects and doing so more accurately than with existing methods. Through our user interviews, we also show that augmented virtuality impairment simulation supports realistic interaction and evaluation to provide a concrete understanding over the usability challenges that impaired users face, and complements the existing guidelines-based approaches meant for general accessibility.
