TOKYO, JAPAN, March 18, 2014 (Press-News.org) Arc Communications is a Tokyo-based translation agency that specializes in corporate communication services. As part of its CSR, in the summer of 2012 Arc launched UNIV. IN JAPAN, a portal site dedicated to introducing Japanese Universities and their English-taught degree programs. It recently renewed the site in conjunction with the addition of postgraduate programs taught in English. The site offers a user-friendly interface to search and learn about universities and their program details.
http://www.univinjapan.com
UNIV. IN JAPAN's mission is to increase awareness about English-taught degree programs offered by Japanese universities and entice students to study in Japan. In an effort to globalize human resources, the Japanese government has, over the last five years, supported qualified universities with funds to establish and enhance English-taught educational programs. The Global 30 project under the guidelines of the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology (MEXT) set a goal to welcome 300,000 international students to Japan by the year 2020.
Since the launch of UNIV. IN JAPAN in August of 2012, the all-English site has grown to list over 70 English-based degree programs taught by Japanese universities, has been accessed from 147 countries and has received inquiries in English from over 20 countries around the world. The all-English site also contains materials related to general requirements for studying in Japan, housing, and other unique contents to help prospective students grasp what it would be like to study and live in Japan.
The renewal of the site includes enhancements for a better user experience, and more importantly, the addition of postgraduate programs taught in English. The decision behind this addition was based on two factors: 1) English-taught postgraduate degree programs are more numerous than undergraduate degrees and the desire to list them by universities was very strong; and 2) Based on a study independently conducted by Arc, visitors to the site wished for more information on postgraduate and various research programs offered by universities in Japan.
The listing of university programs and access to the site is free. Downloadable contents are available upon filling a short questionnaire. It is the company's hope that the information will serve as a starting point for those seeking to study abroad to learn about programs offered in Japan and assist prospective students in making the best decision for their academic path.
Studying in Japan is now a viable option: acquire a degree while studying in English at one of the prominent universities in Japan, learn the Japanese language, indulge in the rich culture, and live and feel the excitement building towards the 2020 Tokyo Olympics / Paralympics.

'Significant' untapped potential for newborn organ donation in UK
2014-03-18
There is "significant" potential for organ donation to be made from among UK newborns, reveals research published online in the Fetal & Neonatal Edition of the Archives of Disease in Childhood.
But it is going untapped because of current guidelines on the definition of brainstem death, which run counter to those used by many other developed countries, say the authors.
There are fewer children than adults on the waiting list for donated organs, but there are also far fewer potential donors for any child, particularly those of a younger age for whom only small sized organs ...
Young women most at risk least likely to be offered HPV jab
2014-03-18
Young women who are most at risk of developing cervical cancer are the least likely to be offered the protective HPV jab and to complete the full course when they are, reveals research published online in the journal Sexually Transmitted Infections.
These women need to be better targeted to boost the overall uptake of the vaccination programme, which was well below the 80% required to make a significant difference to cervical cancer rates during its first three years of operation, say the authors.
They base their findings on responses to anonymous questionnaires completed ...

The Lancet: China halves tuberculosis prevalence in just 20 years
2014-03-18
Over the last 20 years, China has more than halved its tuberculosis (TB) prevalence, with rates falling from 170 to 59 per 100 000 population. This unrivalled success has been driven by a massive scale-up of the directly observed, short-course (DOTS) strategy, from half the population in the 1990s to the entire country after 2000, according to findings from a 20-year-long analysis of national survey data, published in The Lancet.
"One of the key global TB targets set by the Stop TB Partnership aims to reduce tuberculosis prevalence by 50% between 1990 and 2015. This study ...
