Who Is at Risk of Death in an Earthquake? [PDF]
American Journal of Epidemiology, 2004 Although, theoretically, the impacts of a disaster are not randomly distributed across health and socioeconomic classes, empirical evidence of this claim is scarce. In a population-based cohort study, the authors identified risk factors for mortality from the September 21, 1999, Taiwan earthquake, which occurred in the middle of the night.

Liquidity Risks and Demands for Earthquake Insurances
2005 IEEE International Conference on Systems, Man and Cybernetics, 2005 本研究では危険中立的な企業の地震保険保有行動を流動性需要に基づいて説明する. 具体的には, 企業の地震保険保有行動を借入制約を考慮した3期間モデルを用いて定式化する. 企業が初期投資を実施し, その収益を回収するまでの期間内に地震が発生した場合, 企業は緊急に流動性資産を調達する必要がある. しかし, 企業が負債を抱えている場合, 追加融資の調達が困難になる過重債務問題が発生する可能性がある. 地震保険は, 地震発生時に生じる過重債務問題を克服するための手段になる. さらに, 地震保険保有により生じるモラルハザード問題を分析し, モラルハザードと過重債務問題を同時に克服しうるファイナイト契約について考察する.

Earthquake Risk and Earthquake Insurance
Hokengakuzasshi (JOURNAL of INSURANCE SCIENCE), 2008 地震リスクには，他のリスクと比較してさまざまな特性があり，そのために保険困難な要素が多い。これを克服するために，空間的リスクに加えて，時間的リスクを大幅に取り込むことで，リスク分散を実現しようとする。しかしこれは，保険原理の観点からは，重大な問題を含んでいる。そこで，本稿では，非常に特異な性質を有する地震保険について，保険原理に照らしながら，構造的特徴ならびに限界について考察しながら，官民役割分担のあり方について論じる。とりわけ，地震保険に見られる逆選択現象の本質を捉えつつ，その対処策として採用されている地域別料率について，過度の採用は水平的不公平を増大させる恐れがあることから，むしろ，耐震構造に対するウェイトを高めた料率設定を行うことが，契約者間の公平性に照らして望ましいことを主張する。

Microfluidic Valve‐Integrated Garment for Smooth Sequential Gradient Mechanotherapy
Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.We present a soft wearable sleeve that delivers smooth, gap‐free compression using overlapping air‐filled actuators and tiny microfluidic valves. The system reduces bulk, lowers power needs, and uses a smartphone‐sized control box. It can provide sequential gradient compression, gradient pressure holding, and fast deflation, supporting more portable ...

American Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.Abstract Crop insurance is undoubtedly an extremely valuable element in protecting agricultural businesses, but in many cases standard indemnity‐based products have had very low uptake due to high transaction costs elevating premiums to unaffordable levels.

The psychosocial toll of Dublin III on asylum seekers in the Netherlands
American Journal of Community Psychology, EarlyView.Abstract The Dublin III Regulation determines which EU Member State is responsible for examining asylum claims, but its implementation carries significant consequences for those subjected to it. This study examines how Dublin III, as implemented in the Netherlands, affects asylum seekers' psychosocial wellbeing using Silove′s Adaptation and Development

Diffusion MRI and α‐Synuclein Seed Amplification Status in Parkinson's Disease
Annals of Neurology, EarlyView.Objective Positive α‐synuclein seed amplification assay (SAA) is a biomarker found in most people with Parkinson's disease (PD). We explored if free‐water (FW) imaging detects microstructural differences in the brains of patients with early PD with SAA+ or SAA– status.

Archaeological Prospection, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Ancient Olympia was one of the most important sanctuaries and the venue for the Olympic Games in Greek and Roman times. Its remains are located in the Olympia Terrace (Peloponnese, Greece) at the present‐day confluence of the rivers Alpheios and Kladeos at the base of Mount Kronos.
