The Japanese Aviation Accident Investigation Board has two faces. While the surface of the Board is a one of the very accident investigation organ, its shadow face is a one of the very expert witness drawing up a requested written opinion for the sake of the criminal investigation of the Police under the two secret inter-ministerial accords. This Paper proposes that some evidence obtained by investigation ought to be protected for disclosure and use by privilege derived from on of our most basic legal principles: "Nemo debet se-ipsem accusare-no one is required to incriminate oneself-".

Civil proceedings, surveyed results and medical expenses that are evidenced by expert witness are just one of the methods of proof. Since a judge makes decision by synthesizing all evidences on a concerned case, thus the judgement would be different from that of expert witness. It is not rational for medical institutions, of which priorities are medical treatment, to give priority to disability decision. However, despite of its importance, medical institutions less recognize about the necessity of procedural stability and predictability in expert valuation. It is necessary to identify actual problems and investigate rational alternatives to acquire fairness in valuation procedures and accuracy in calculating future medical expenses. Therefore, this research explores the problems and realities of evaluation process in medical treatments, and then discuss the alternatives of written expert opinion and estimation of future medical expenses.

The purpose of this study is to comparatively analyse the behavior patterns of the first and the repeated offenders in DWI, and to develope the models of BAC(Blood Alcohol Concentration) by using multiple regression analysis method and a model of repeated DWI conviction by using logistic regression analysis method. The main results are as follows. First, the repeated offenders are more in criminal and traffic accidents records than that of the first offenders. The unlicenced drivers are in higher BAC than licenced drivers. Second, multiple regression model of BAC was developed, and the model revealed that criminal records and driving distance were important factors. Third, a model of repeated DWI conviction was developed, and the model revealed that traffic accidents records, whether or not having licence, and criminal records were most important factors.

The addition and evaluation of health impact items in Environmental Impact Assessment document are written in hygiene and public health items only for specific development projects and are being reviewed. However, after the publication of the evaluation manual on the addition and evaluation of health impact items in 2011, there is a demand for continuous methodology and improvement plans despite partial improvement. Therefore, in order to propose a methodological improvement of the evaluation manual, this technical paper identified detailed improvement requirements based on the consultation opinions on hygiene and public health items, and investigated and suggested ways to solve this problem by reviewing the contents of the research so far. As for the improvement requirements, the contents related to mitigation plan, post management, effect prediction, assessment, and present-condition investigation were presented in Environmental Impact Assessment documents for the entire development project at a frequency of 93%, 85%, 80%, 74%, and 67%, respectively. Particularly, the detailed improvement requirements related to mitigation plan consisted of an establishment direction and a management of development project. Considering the current evaluation manual and the frequency of improvement requirements, this paper proposed concrete methods or improvement plans for major methodologies for each classification of hygiene and public health items. Furthermore, a comprehensive evaluation methodology related to whether a project is implemented was proposed, which is not provided in the current assessment manual.
