JAL’s first-class cabin has just eight huge semi-private seats (no doors, though, like you’ll find on other airlines like Emirates and Etihad) laid out in two rows of four seats each. Those on the sides of the plane are individual, while those in the center are paired up. I had seat 1A in the very front of the cabin closest to the exit.

There is a need for simpler and safer transfers of children who need cooling treatment. Linus Olson, PhD, and a civil engineer and researcher at the Karolinska Institutet currently working in Vietnam, is involved in a research study testing a cooling mattress on newborn children with acute oxygen deficiency. The mattress works without either electricity or water, which means it can be used in all ambulances and hospitals.  It is made of a plastic shell filled with something called phase-change material, which can transform from a solid to a liquid, using the child’s body heat as a source of energy in the process. After about an hour on the cooling mattress, the child reaches a temperature of about 33.5 degrees. A big plus is that the mattress then maintains this temperature in a stable way. It is also a lot cheaper that the equipment currently used for cooling treatment. In addition to the opportunity to improve transfers, we see the potential for improved neonatal care all over the world. Cooling treatment is currently introduced in hospitals in Vietnam. In this study, the mattress will be used to deliver cooling treatment at several hospitals and during transport. The goal is to save lives and reduce brain injuries among children with acute oxygen deficiency. So far the study confirms that the mattress is effective in these contexts, and there are plans to introduce it more permanently in neonatal care in Vietnam. In the long-term, other countries with less developed neonatal care will be of interest. The cooling mattress is also being tested in a study in Sweden. In the first stage, newborns with oxygen deficiency will be randomly selected to be transferred by air, either in a normal transport incubator or on the cooling mattress.

ABOARD, THE KAGA – Women serving on Japan’s biggest warship, the Kaga, are a tight-knit group on the front line of a push to transform the Japanese navy into a mixed-gender fighting force, where men outnumber them more than 10 to one.

Foreign residents of Japan originally hailing from Western countries tend to view tourists in an especially negative light, with only weeaboos serving as a larger target for unified disdain (when the monk’s identity and the fact he grew up in the United States became clear, the story felt much more familiar). Japanese netizens have reacted negatively to stories that irk their non-Japanese counterparts — the Kyoto vandalism story earlier this year got plenty talking — but their relationship to inbound visitors is more complicated. Tourism, after all, is booming and bringing in money … and it doesn’t look like it will be stopping anytime soon.
