Title: Hard Duty: A Woman’s Experience at Chernobyl
Author: Natalia Manzurova and Cathie Sullivan, translators: Masanori Oba, Hisako Oba, and Kentaro Gotoh
Keywords: Experience, Chernobyl
Abstract: This is almost one year anniversary since we started gathering for anti-nukes causes last year. One of the projects that we had in our minds was to inform people about nuclear issues through translation of the works that are done from accidents prior to Fukushima. We believe that both the effort and the work of translation is a social change. Two community educators from Berkeley and NNA members, Masanori Oba, Hisako Oba, and Kentaro Gotoh translated “Hard Duty”, a record of Chernobyl cleaners after the accident by Natalia Manzurova and Cathie Sullivan into Japanese. We honor the work by two authors and the translation team, and share the link with the introduction by Masanori Oba. This work is free to distribute only with credit of the authors and the translators.

Keywords: TV conference system, Belarus, Peripheral blood stem cell transplantation
Abstract: To achieve a close relationship among Gomel Regional Hospital (Gomel, Belarus), Belarusian Children Center of Hematology/Oncology (Minsk, Belarus) and Shinshu University Hospital, we established a telemedicine system using the Inmarsat satellite. The system consists of a TV conference system, a digital microscopic imaging system and a high definition image server/viewer network system (DICOM). The detailed case conference is possible among three areas of physicians.

Title:Mitigating Chernobyl’s lingering threat: What messages might motivate Ukraine’s radiation-exposed youth to seek cancer screening tests?タイトル：チェルノブイリの長引く脅威の緩和：

Keyword(s): Chernobyl, Ukraine, Radiation-exposed, Cancer screening, Health messages
Abstract: How health messages are framed in combination with the nature of the risk (detection or prevention of disease) can impact health behavior change. Furthermore, an individual’s chronic motives and cultural values may also interact with these factors to impact the success of health message interventions. Although cultures, as well as individuals, vary in their chronic motives, rarely is research on message framing conducted outside of the United States. This is important for practical reasons (e.g., effectively responding to health threats in other corners of the globe), as well as theoretical reasons (e.g., generalized understanding of motivational/value dynamics that may moderate responses to messages).
The present dissertation examined the potentially interacting effects of cultural value priorities (i.e., value orientations such as security), personality factors (approach and avoidance motivation), and the framing (i.e., gain and loss) of the message on compliance with thyroid cancer screening messages in Ukraine. The impact of value-affirmation prior to exposure to a persuasive message on the perception of cancer risk, self-efficacy, intention, and screening behavior was also analyzed for a sample of 150 Ukrainians at risk of radiation-induced thyroid cancer due to Chernobyl fallout exposure.
Past research in the U.S. suggests that a loss-framed message might be more effective for promoting cancer detection. The pattern of findings found here instead argues that to change health behaviors both individual propensities and the nature of the message framing must be concurrently considered. , those individuals in the gain-framed, but not in the loss-framed condition, showed: (a) enhanced intent to get tested when they had both lower levels of avoidance motivational disposition and higher levels of approach disposition or valued security and (b) higher perceived self-efficacy when they valued high stimulation (an approach or gain value). On the other hand, those individuals in the loss-framed condition (compared to the gained-frame condition) showed more positive change in self-efficacy when they had low stimulation values. Additional findings are discussed. These research findings have applied implications (e.g., for targeting populations for health behaviors globally) and theoretical implications (e.g., how levels of avoid and approach motivation may combine with message framing to impact behavior change).

Abstract: Purpose: To study clinic of macular dystrophies (MD) in participants of liquidation of consequences of Chernobyl APP accident (PLCAPP) , time of onset of the disease, dynamics of visual functions after drug treatment.
Materials and methods: We observed 47 PLCAPP (42 males and 5 females).
Most of them were working on Chernolbyl APP in 1986 (17 patients) and in 1985 (17 patients), the rest – in 1988 (8 patients) and 1989 (5 patients). The duration of staying in radioactive zone was 1–2 months –in 25 people, 3–4 months – in 16 people, 5–6 months – in 6 people. Examination included: visometry, biomicroscopy, perimetry, tonometry and direct and indirect ophthalmoscopy with mydriasis.
Results: Central chorioretinal dystrophy was observed in 4, 8% of patients. MD used to appear in 10, 5 years in average after staying in Chernobyl. Visual acuity was decreasing gradually and averaged 0, 37 by the end of observation (2002–2004). The more doze of radiation was got by patient, the earlier MD appeared and more visual acuity decreased.
Conclusion: It’s supposed that changes in macula could possibly happen under the radiation influence on the whole body. It leads to atherosclerosis, “radiation aging” of immune system, vascular changes and premature aging of CNS.

Title: Research Note for the Interviews with the Residents Who Used to Live in Prypiat near Chernobyl, Ukraine
Author: Kawano, Noriyuki

Keywords: Prypiat,Ukraine, Fukushima, evacuees
Abstract: This research note is a memorandum for our interviews with those who lived in Prypiat city near the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant. The inhabitants in Prypiat had to be evacuated to other places due to the nuclear accidents in April, 1986. We conducted the interviews with them in order to examine one of several aspects of the socioeconomic and psychological sufferings they endured. The results of our survey show that there are some remarkable damages such as loss of property and home; disintegration of labor ability, places of education and community.

Abstract: Since the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant accident, radioactive substances have been continually monitored in foods collected in the city of Kyoto, Japan. The importance of the monitoring was increased by the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant accident in March 2011. Here, the detection rates and concentrations of radioactive substances were compared among food samples collected before and after the accident in Fukushima prefecture.

Abstract: A radioactivity survey program was launched in 1983 to determine the background levels of artificial radionuclides, such as 90Sr and 137Cs in the marine environment off commercial nuclear power stations. In this paper, we report on the long-term temporal changes of 90Sr and 137Cs in seawater, bottom sediment and marine organism samples. Both 90Sr and 137Cs have been detected since the beginning of the program in the seawater samples.
