Outline of Final Research Achievements

(1) Presentation at international academic conferences and Submission to international academic journals: I presented my work at three international academic conferences and received interesting comments. I revised my paper enough to submit international academic journals. (2) Archival research and analysis: I went to Kyushu university that has historical documents of the coal mine of my research subject. I found and took photos of historical documents that I presume that no one has never analyzed.
