Abstract	We review some fundamental results on the basic reproductive ratio of models in epidemiology following several documents. We present the general denition of the basic reproductive ratio and the threshold theorem of for the stability of the disease free equilibrium. All results for non-negative matrices and non singular M-matrices which we need in the denition of the basic reproductive ratio and the proof of the threshold theorem are also presented. All parts of the review are self-contained, and all parts of the proof are given explicitly.

Abstract	Recently, competition among universities has a whole new face, and emphasis is given toward interdependence and interactive evolution between universities and regions. From this social perspective, universities should contribute to regional development by serving the regional society using results of intellectual work, and it is necessary for universities to accomplish social contribution and regional cooperation strategically. One of the most important parts in strategic planning is that students participate in activities for social contribution and regional cooperation. This paper presents a survey of the university students’ awareness on social contribution and regional cooperation using several statistical methods and attempts to find factors which affect activities for social contribution and regional cooperation using logistic regression analysis.
Keywords	University students’ awareness social contribution and regional cooperation volunteer activities exploratory factor analysis logistic regression analysis

Abstract	In this paper, we examined the landscape and sightseeing at Bittchu-Kokubunji in Okayama prefecture carrying out the questionnaire survey to tourists and local residents. Both tourists and local residents estimate that the landscape ofBittchu-Kokubunji is wonderful, and it has several images such as historical, quiet, and old-fashioned, etc. AlthoughBittchu-Kokubunji is one of the famous tourist resorts in Okayama prefecture, there are quite few tourists compared with the degree of notability. Almost all tourists' age was 50 or more. As more active sightseeing activities, the number of times of holding events, such as an announcement of traditional performing arts, lighting of a five-storied pagoda, photograph or a sketching convention, needs to be increased. An attractive tourist resort should be created by the cooperation of local residents and administration.
