Taiwan is not a party to the Paris Agreement, but the impact of climate change on Taiwan is enough to be one. The Government of Taiwan has set a target of adjusting the power mix to 50% natural gas-fired, 30% coal-fired and 20% renewable energy by 2025, increasing the proportion of relatively low carbon emissions and renewable energy, and aiming to reduce GHG emissions as a climate change policy. One of the key aspects of Taiwan’s energy policy is to phase-out nuclear power generation by 2025, and to increase the share of renewable energy in the power supply configuration and reduce the use of coal-fired power. The phase-out of nuclear power plants was initially faster than the expansion of renewable energy, reducing CO2 emissions from electricity production as needed to a small amount. Nevertheless, since 2016, Taiwan has been evaluating the “energy transition” derived from Germany and is trying to decentralize its power supply using conventional large-scale, inflexible power generation systems. 　With regard to coal-fired power plants, Taiwan will accelerate the improvement of air pollution facilities at existing coal-fired power plants and implement utilization management measures in order to match air quality. Gas-fired and green energy power supplies will be the mainstays of power supply, which is the power stabilization target, in order to maintain 15% of the supply reserve rate. The government needs to plan supply-side measures and implement various tasks to save energy and reduce carbon emission in order to reduce electricity demand. To build clean energy systems and healthy living conditions, to promote the development of new green energy industries, to promote green employment, realize the spirit of energy empowerment, promote energy democracy and justice. Going forward, the focus will be on overall system integration, where all power supplies can ensure a sufficient level of revenue. In this study, we will consider Taiwan’s climate change and energy policy since the Paris Agreement, and summarize the current situation and issues.

We will discuss why Japan succeeded after the Meiji Restoration and why she has been stagnated since 1990s, and propose the conditions for the revitalization of the Japanese economy based on M.E. Porter’s factor condition and Michio Morishima’s view of population history. Michio Morishima maintains that the quantity and quality of population is the foundation of economy and society. This paper focus on values which is one of the qualitative aspects of human beings.

症例は非血縁者間臍帯血移植後にB細胞性急性リンハﾟ性白血病(B-ALL)を再発した48歳の女性.再発時の白血病細胞の大部分は初発時と同様にCD19^+,CD22^+であったが,一部はCD22^-であった.Blinatumomabが無効で,続いてinotuzumab ozogamicin(InO)が投与されたが,初回投与の5日後に重篤な下血が出現した.患者は白血病細胞の急激な増加を伴ってInO投与から14日後に死亡したが,急増した末梢血白血病細胞はCD22^-の表面形質を有していた.病理解剖では全小腸に粘膜出血があり,小腸粘膜や全身臓器へのCD22^-白血病細胞の浸潤がみられた.InOは抗CD22ヒト化モノクローナル抗体とcharicheamicinが結合した抗体薬物複合体で,白血病細胞上に発現するCD22に結合して抗腫瘍作用を発揮する新規抗体医薬である.本例では,InO投与によりCD22^+白血病細胞は消失したものの,再発時にみられていたCD22^-白血病細胞が急激に増加して死亡したものと考えられた.白血病治療においては,経過中に表面形質が変化した白血病細胞クローンが増加する場合がある.抗体医薬の使用にあたっては,治療直前に白血病細胞の表面形質について再検討する必要があると考えられた.
