Students will share essential themes involving the mind, obtained through the theory and practice of clinical psychology, and deepen their understanding of the “movement of the heart” that occur when a person interacts with other people. Interactions that students actually experience inside the classroom are expected to bring about further awareness of their inner self.
SFC provides a wide variety of health and well-being related subjects from different perspectives. This is an introductory course for students who want to conduct health researches with SFC professors and students who want to get Health Science certificate. The course provides basic skills, methods and knowledge to start health research. The course will be delivered by 5 leading professors.
本講義は、環境技術及び環境政策に関わる調査分析手法を習得することを目的とする。ほとんどの環境に関わる問題は、そのスケールが大きく、かつ自然科学分野と社会科学分野にまたがる。本講義では、具体的な環境問題に取り組む中で、分野横断型のアプローチを身につける。個々の技術や手法を習得することだけに意味があるのではなく、問題を包括的に捉え、限られた時間と資源の中でどのような体制を作り、どこから着手していくべきか、環境問題解決のための総合力をつけることが、最終的な目的である。複雑な環境問題に、一人の専門家が挑むことは基本的にあり得ない。様々な専門家とステークホルダーの協働により取り組むことが求められる。本コースで育成を目指す環境リーダーは、問題の核心とその範囲を理解し、専門家からもたらされるアウトプットを理解する必要がある。その上で、チーム全体を統括し、問題解決のための具体的な対策の実行まで到達しなければならない。本講義では、実習としてプロジェクトに取り組む過程で、手法を理解し、総合力を熟成する。
本講義では、それぞれに独立に発展してきた環境分野と情報分野を対象として、新しい領域としての環境情報システムの構築方法について学ぶ。実空間の環境(“実環境空間”)から獲得する大規模環境データとして、人の流動データ、大規模画像データ、自然環境データを対象とし、 “環境情報空間”において環境変化の原因・影響を計量することにより、(1)平常時に緩やかに進行する環境変化を検出し中長期的変化に対応する機能、および、(2)緊急時に環境へ急激なダメージを与える変化への即時対応機能を備える、“環境情報システム”を設計・構築する手法を学ぶ。近年のセンサ機器の発展、および、ストレージ装置の大容量化・高速化に伴い、従来よりもはるかに再粒度での環境データを扱えるようになっており、環境データの科学的な理解と解析には、大規模データ処理の技術が不可欠となっている。本講義では、 ICT技術を活用した環境計測、分析、情報配信システムの構築を習得し、実際に環境データを対象とした解析能力を身につけ、環境データや対策手法に対する科学的な見方や考え方を習得する。具体的には、実空間の環境(“実環境空間”)の監視・制御を対象としたハードウェア技術として、実環境上のセンサ機器制御のための技術、“環境情報空間”における環境変化の原因・影響を計量するICT技術として、環境データベースシステム、環境ユビキタスシステム、環境動画像データ処理について学ぶ。また、情報空間で得られた結果を元に環境モデリングについて学ぶ。モデリングにおいて基本となる、常微分方程式の解法、偏微分方程式の解法について学び、GPGPUやマルチコアの並列計算機を用いてモデリングの実習を行う。
This course gives an overview of the present status and future perspectives of global environment, resources, and energy problems. To obtain simultaneous solution for both environment and energy problems, we will consider and propose what is the optimum energy mix in the future.
The overall aspects, i.e., technical consistency/feasibility and social acceptability/policy making will be discussed by all of the participants in this course. To study technical aspects intensively, we will conduct 6
weeks exercise under close contact with advisory members of this course.

生物多様性とは、地球上に存在する生命の多様性を示す概念である。人間活動による影響は生態系の劣化に止まらず、種の絶滅や種内の遺伝的多様性の損失など様々なレベルに及び、世界の生物多様性はこれまでにないスピードで失われつつある。しかし、生物多様性の損失は私たちにとってどのような意味があるのだろうか?本授業では、植物や動物などの生物相に関する研究への理解を深め、土地管理が生物多様性に与える影響、生物多様性と生態系サービスとの関係など、事例研究を幅広く取り上げる。さらに、こうした研究成果が実社会の政策立案にどのように反映されているのかを議論していく。
Multicellular organisms like us have very complex and elaborate morphologies. We can use it to do a variety of things, and interestingly, people can seriously consider the question of what they are. However, even such a complex organism is just a single sphere called an egg at the beginning of its life. The ultimate simple form automatically changes over time into the complex form described above. If you were to use clay to create an image of a "thinking person," many would first determine the proportion of clay to be allocated to the head, torso, and feet.
In fact, the design style (body plan) used by living organisms to create the body does exactly the same way. By repeating simple rules, complex things can be created. In this class, you will learn the body plan that creatures actually use.
The twenty-first century is still the century competing globally for energy. One of our main missions would be to recreate much more clean and efficient new energy systems to sustain the future society, which could also show us a possible scenario for leading modern energy revolution on the earth.
We are now witnessing the emergence of high-performance battery in our society, whose paradigm shift of electricity reservation could bridge and make information and energy united together to finally establish highly-integrated information-energy networks. We could not imagine yet how far this dizzy paradigm shift could bring us, meanwhile, it would certainly impact our society irreversibly to create utterly new artifacts far beyond our current imagination to form pieces of “the future battery society” to come.
We sincerely wish we could envisage this new concepts and a taste of the future through this unique series of lectures.
One of big problems of studying biology is caused by too various species found on the earth and too complicated structures of each creature, meaning that it is difficult to find what is important point in this academic field. I believe that comparison of real world and life science events can be good tip to solve this problem on studying biology. In this class, gathering various knowledge and experience of mine, 14 biological topics will be performed. I do not care whether you studied biology in high school or not.
In this course, students will learn basic epidemiology, health policy and health communication. Epidemiology is "the study of how disease is distributed in populations and the factors that influence or determine this distribution" and the goals are preventing diseases, enhancing healthy life and quality of life.
By the end of the course, students will acquire the knowledge on basic research design, causal inferences, and ability for logical thinking.
The benefits of learning cognitive science and related academic fields are not only to be able to understand human mental processes and behaviors scientifically, but to help create effective solutions to various problems in modern society and industry.
This course aims to learn the essential literacy to apply such knowledge effectively and creatively to solve real-world problems that you will face in the future.
In this year’s course, we will focus on four topics from numerous studies related to cognitive science:
(1) Affordances and Signifiers,
(2) Visual Perception,
(3) Decision-Making and Cognitive Biases, and
(4) Motivation and Behavior Change.
I will explain the theoretical foundations of each topic, and then we will review and discuss the usefulness and the issues of their practical applications, especially in the fields of design and marketing, with the help of case studies.
This course particularly welcomes students who have a strong interest and passion for practical applications of academic knowledge.
