TOKYO Nike Air Span II España , Sept. 28 (Xinhua) -- Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe on Thursday dissolved the more powerful lower chamber of Japan's bicameral parliament and called a general election.
The general election will be held on Oct. 22.
Abe last dissolved the lower house of parliament in November 2014 and thereafter led the ruling Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) and its junior Komeito coalition ally to a sweeping victory in the following election.
Thursday's dissolution marks the 4th time in postwar Japan that the lower chamber has been dissolved on the day the Diet has convened.

SYDNEY Nike Flex 2018 RN España , Sept. 28 (Xinhua) -- The New South Wales (NSW) State Health department in Australia told Xinhua on Thursday, they are investigating whether the rotavirus has mutated after an upsurge in reported cases.
So far in 2017, there have been 1,239 notifications of the gastrointestinal illness in the state, which is the highest number in five years with rates amongst infants up 90 percent.
Making matters worse, Director of Communicable Diseases at NSW Health Nike Odyssey React España , Dr Vicky Sheppeard explained that "notifications are only a portion of cases, as not everyone with the infection is tested."
This could mean there's been many more cases which have gone unreported.
Symptoms for those infected include severe fever, diarrhoea, vomiting and abdominal cramps.
Although there are many potential causes for rotavirus, Sheppeard said, "it passes readily from person-to-person Nike Epic React España , particularly if hands are not thoroughly washed after going to the toilet or changing a nappy."
"Currently, NSW Health is also investigating whether the virus may have mutated, which would mean more people may be susceptible to infection."
Medical authorities in Australia have advised anyone who has suffered from rotavirus to stay at home for at least 24 hours after symptoms stop and have warned against visiting vulnerable people while unwell for at least 48 hours after symptoms have stopped.
Although there is a vaccine which can dramatically reduce hospitalizations, particularly for infant gastroenteritis, it is only around 70 percent effective in preventing infection.
"Pay close attention to handwashing after toileting, changing nappies Nike Air Maestro II España , and before preparing food for others," Sheppeard said.

KUALA LUMPUR, July 24 (Xinhua) -- China's growth will continue to be a key driver for a firming recovery of the world economy Nike Air Footscape España , the chief economist of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) said Monday.
Maurice Obstfeld, the IMF's economic counsellor and director of research, made the remarks in an exclusive interview with Xinhua as the IMF revised up China's growth forecast for 2017 and 2018 to 6.7 percent and 6.4 percent respectively.
The updated World Economic Outlook report published here Monday, which came days after China posted a stronger-than-expected second quarterly performance, was a reflection of a solid first quarter underpinned by previous policy easing and supply-side reforms, including efforts to reduce excess capacity in the industrial sector Nike Flyknit Trainer España , according to the IMF.
"We have seen very strong growth and especially beyond our update, second quarter number of 6.9 percent is also above expectation. So clearly growth is proceeding at pace," Obstfeld said.
"Strong Chinese growth drives growth particularly in Asian region but also throughout the world," Obstfeld added, noting that China is a big contributor to the overall growth and has a very large spillover effect to the world economy.
As China is transforming its economy from traditional manufacturing sector to service and consumption oriented sector, its structural transformation and the rebalancing of its economy should lower the growth rate and put growth on a firmer basis over time Nike Air Force 270 España , the chief economist said.
"It's very important for the world economy not just that China grows at a strong rate, but that it grows in a stable fashion, dependable fashion without big fluctuation," he said.
The prestigious economist expressed the IMF's concerns on China's credit driven growth and some vulnerabilities in its financial systems that could derail growth, but he also pointed out that the Chinese government is clearly recognizing these issues and has taken actions.
The recent strengthened coordination between the People's Bank of China and the State Council on financial oversight "is a big step forward" that will .
