...The Epidemic Prevention Unit in Harbin, China (eventually known as Unit 731), opened in 1932 under the guise of a mobile unit tasked to provide pure drinking water to Japanese military men. This unit also actively searched for antibodies and antidotes to combat infection and diseases contracted by men during the campaign. At the time, the climate of Inner Mongolia and Northern China left the Japanese soldiers exposed to harsh elements dissimilar of the tropical Japanese climate leaving room for disease to spread wildly and exposing men to frostbite . Additionally, many men that sought sexual comfort from Comfort Women risked catching sexually transmitted diseases even though the military screened the women providing the sexual favors. The...

...Controversies of prisoners of war The book “Unbroken” was a seemingly impossible tale of triumph and survival of an Olympic runner and WWII veteran named Louis Zamperini. He constantly had to overcome adversity in his early years, for he was an immigrant from Italy and a trouble maker before his brother Pete steered him into running track. This immediately turned him around as he did well enough to in running to break all sorts if local records, which were accomplished while his competitors were trying to sabotage his runs. This qualified him for the 1936 Olympic in Berlin, where he met Hitler. He still had running aspirations but felt he had no choice other than fighting in the world due to the fact that the 1940 Olympics were cancelled. So he joined the Air Crops and while flying in plane suspected to break down, he crashed in the sea with two other friends and was stranded there for over 47 days. Louis overcomes great adversity again when Japanese air assaults targeted them and they jumped in the water to get cover while fighting off hungry sharks. After the planes retreated Louis and his friends took turns swatting the sharks trying to jump at them while the other kept the boat afloat by blowing like a mad man. After they were successful in doing this, they saw land but were intercepted by a Japanese boat that took them to the notorious POW camp known as Naoetsu. This is where the infamous prison guard called “The Bird” decided that he was going to do everything to break...

...National History Day, we discovered an article addressing the issue of how the Japanese had still not apologized for the horrendous experiments Unit 731 conducted on human beings. As we read the article, our interest for the subject piqued, and we began scouring the Internet for additional information about Unit 731. After discovering how Unit 731 impacted the world, we decided that it would serve as an interesting take on the NHD topic. Shirō Ishii and his colleagues served as trailblazers for modern chemical warfare, and they also exchanged their valuable data with United States. The members of Unit 731 had retained a plethora of information from their extensive research, but only because they were willing to pay price no one else would even consider....

The medicine takes more than half of the year to publish into the public. Until then, the medicine is not “qualify” to take it. In the experimental room where scientists test and develop new medicines, there are always white mouse. Scientist use these mouse to test and see the result of their experiments because scientists believe that the structure of mouse body are similar to that of human body. Medicines like Advil...

...Investigating Japan's Unit 731: Unveiling the Dark Legacy of Human Experimentation in WWII. Fia Kauffman History 1220 US History After Reconstruction April 25th 2024. The human experiments of Japan’s Unit 731 are by far the worst war crimes that the Japanese have committed. During the Second Sino-Japanese War (1937–1945) and World War II, organization 731, a secret biological and chemical warfare research and development organization of the Imperial Japanese Army, was involved in the manufacture of biological weapons and deadly human experiments. Unit 731’s history of biological weapon testing and human experiments that led to an American cover-up are factors of history that must not be forgotten. Many students know about the racism and inhumane experimentations of the Nazi party during World War II, but many are unaware of Japan’s own biological and chemical research unit, Unit 731. Officially known as the Epidemic Prevention and Water Purification Department of the Kwantung Army,...

...The Forgotten Holocaust The majority of the population when asked the question, “Could a genocide on the scale of the holocaust take place without the world acknowledging it?” The common answer would be that a killing of that size would be impossible to hide; but for the Japanese it was not. The crimes of mass murder and human experimentation committed by the Japanese Imperial army were horrendous; with a death toll comparable to the Holocaust, along with the unimaginable crimes committed by the notorious Unit 731, this was one of the most undocumented genocides in history. History of the Japanese Imperial Army Between the years of 1867-1945 the Japanese Imperial Army grew to an enormous size of around six million troops (Rummel). An army of this size had never been organized, which is why the entire continent of Asia feared that the Japanese would have the power to take over Asia. In previous genocides, the groups committing the killings...

...being conducted in countries like Japan, Germany, the United States and many others. Many experiments that took place during this time period were done on humans, most of which were conducted forcibly and without the consent of its participants. There were two major vanguards that carried out these experiments, one of which was under the rationalization of eugenics. The other was research carried out for war purposes. For example, the development of chemical and biological warfare was being attempted during this time period. The Japanese during WWII had a disturbingly particular interest in the development of biological weapons. According to the documentary “Unit 731: Nightmare in Manchuria” the Japanese conducted research on unknowing human participants in order to develop biological weapons. In 1940 and 1941, Unit 731 bred bubonic plague infested fleas that were then spread by low flying planes over Chinese...

...today decisions that we take in the company. Profit sharing: The employees determine the profit share that they should get and also decide how to split it. It creates the feeling of ownership, says semler. Employees enjoy 25 % of company’s total profit. It directly affects their efficiency. The way of working is different by the employees when they have a sense of ownership. Profit sharing give them a reason to do things better. They work more sincerely and with more effort. In this way employees themselves can decide that what they will get at the end of the year. Free flow of information: Each piece of information is available to everybody. Nothing is kept as secret. Every employee is trained how to read a balance sheet, how different units in the organization works. Information tells people what’s working in the organization and what’s not.

...New Health Medical Systems Shari Gifford HRM/548 Jennifer Familant March 10, 2014 New Health Medical Systems TO: New Health Medical Systems, Board of Directors FROM: Shari Gifford, HR Consultant CC: Jennifer Familant DATE: March 10, 2014 SUBJECT: Staffing Strategy It is my understanding that you, the Board of Directors of New Health Medical Systems, recently announced a new strategic direction to become a regional center for critically ill patients. As a part of that strategy, New Health Medical Systems (NHMS) has opened a new cardiovascular unit where patients can receive care for heart attacks, strokes, and other types of cardiovascular diseases. NHMS was quickly able to recruit a quality physician to head the unit as well as additional professional staff, however finding qualified technicians have become much more difficult than originally anticipated. The problem does not seem to be so much in terms of the position being attractive to candidates, but rather a lack of skilled technicians in the immediate region. Most of the skilled technicians are already employed, and are not actively seeking jobs with other organizations. In order to fill the 35 technician positions, the director of staffing has created a new staffing strategy that includes the following: 1. Place advertisement in the local newspapers 2. Contact staffing agencies that specializes in placing technicians into health care facilities 3. Organize a job fair and invite local...

...What is effective management? This will be one dimension that you will have to reflect on throughout the unit – some questions that might arise is there such a thing as ‘one best way’ of being effective? Does being effective require a set of skills, or is it more about being adaptable and flexible? Is it more effective to think of management as the sole locus of the manager, or as a group or ever organizational dynamic? Gender Equality/Balance – were more women just not choosing promotions? More complex than that – See Acker article on Moodle to help start thinking through these ideas! Administrative Management The influence on the workplace of the KIPPER phenomenon The KIPPER phenomenon is just one example of a social dynamic that can have an influence on the workplace (e.g. people having to stay in work longer and retire later in order to financial support adult children). At a more general level it highlights how different social or cultural trends always have an influence or organizational life. Definitions are always difficult I agree – and there are lots of definitions! A good place to start is think about the academic definition given to a term in a text book or, better still, an academic paper, and then think how this might translate into an organizational setting. The framework for the unit Broadly speaking, the unit starts off at an individual level and them moves towards ideas which are more group-based, then more organizational based. However, this...
