Biology has transformed into a data-driven science, due to the advent of numerous high-throughput measurement technologies. Central to these innovations is the genetic information. One of the core properties of living systems is the existence of genetic information, and analysis of this information, is the central challenge of bioinformatics. Moreover, analysis of genes and genomes through bioinformatics is basically an informatics problem. In this course, major software tools and algorithms for searching, comparison, assembly, variation detection, quantification of genetic sequences would be covered, with hands-on workshops, to understand the basics of genome and bioinformatic analyses.
Laws, such as laws, contracts, and precedents, are important infrastructures or operating systems of society, and have a great impact on industry and culture. In this course, you will learn how to interpret and design laws and regulations in order to promote industry and culture. In this lecture, we will explore how laws, contracts, and precedents have influenced industries and cultures in Japan and other countries, and how they can contribute in the future, through various case studies. In particular, by leveraging the concept of "legal design" advocated by the lecturer, we will analyze and examine existing businesses, services, expressions, etc. from a legal perspective in order to discover new perspectives on existing business management, industrial and cultural policies, etc. The goal of this program is to develop human resources with such a perspective and to nourish the perspective of updating Japan's policies and management through "legal design" of policies and management.

Mainly learn about Internet operation. As Internet users, many people are already using various Internet applications and recognizing their usefulness. However, there are few opportunities to come into contact with Internet connection methods, firewall operation technology, NAT operation technology, larger network operation technology, network management, and so on. In this lecture, we will explain these contents and acquire the knowledge and skills to set up, manage, and operate the network.
The Internet becomes a social infrastructure in the last 20 years. On the other hand, only specialists know the details of the Internet technology. The goal of this class is that you learn the concept of Internet, how to work using the Internet. The architecture of the Internet is very simple. The simplicity is the most important point to be base of various system.
This year, the class will focus heavily on how the combination of
hardware and software achieves performance through parallelism:
pipelining, multicore CPUs in shared-memory systems, data parallel
programming as exemplified by GPU programming, and distributed-memory,
message-passing systems such as supercomputers exemplified by MPI.
Policies give us the framework to find and solve issues, but how are these policies made? There’s no one “justice” or “correct answer.” Many related parties (stakeholders) have their own ”justice” and “correct answer.”
There’s an increasing need for people who have policy literacy, see the true nature of issues, and create policies. Therefore, the purpose of this workshop is to find challenges that need a policy, look for causes, establish a policy, communicate it to the public, and learn how this process works.
In this class, you will learn practical measures to create new businesses that will solve the social problems. The class is especially for those who are interested in starting social businesses, etc. As a final outcome, you will design and present a new business, both social and practical, to solve the problems around SFC campus area, “Forest for Health and Culture (Endo area)”.
The class will be stimulating, so like SFC, and consists of lectures, business school case discussions, lectures and discussions of special guests who have connections to Keio University. The variety of the class contents will develop the problem finding and solving ability, and the positive action toward the problems. I strongly wish this class contributes to your research project and the creation of lively scene around SFC campus.
Geography is the study of nature and human activities on the globe. Advances in information and communication technologies have made it easier to access geographic information on the web. As you are connected to the web all the time by smartphone, it is not necessary to memorize geographical information. Today, what we are required to do is not just memorization but to learn how to use geographical information. However, many students do not study geography at high school, we don’t know how to use them. Through the course, you will leran about various medias of geographical information such as maps, photographs and movies, including letter information.
Students wishing to take this course in English are encouraged to take the GIGA course which is offered concurrently.

This course covers Chapter 16-20 of the textbook "Essential Cell Biology".
Most athletes are having physical training well based on sports science, and making efforts to effectively improve their sports performances. However, sports science is not only for athletes. Understanding sports science would be valuable for considering the ways for living a long and healthy life. In this course, we are aiming to learn the basis of our body and movements, and reconsider our own health, based on various findings from researches in the field of sports sciences.
This course provides the effective coaching methods which make better human relationships between the coaches and the athletes, and among the team mates to enhance the quality of the performance on each field. Based on the Life Style Program Method, students will be required to propose the way to motivate the athletes to fulfill their potential. For the sake of making good learning effects, class members will be active participants of every activity such like discussions, group works, and so fourth.
This lecture offers students to learn the principles and applications of global and local environmental issues in systems perspective. We will start from the global movements on the global warming and then learn the basic elements of environment including air, soil, water and plants. Then we will learn the stocks and flows of the elements in the perspective ecosystems and services. With this fundamental knowledge, students will be able to understand the background of global environmental policies and think to act proactively in research and daily life.
We require to conduct many surveys for special planning and designing. Especially, surveys of organisms become more important because nature and biodiversity conservation is necessary for sustainable development. Students will learn many kinds of field surveys based on knowledge of ecology. All field surveys should be conducted on SFC. Students will learn how to use a topographical map, find a plant species in a plant guide, plant, bird, insect surveys, etc. After the surveys, students will learn the methods of analysis. The goal is to understand the methods, identify the species, and analyze data through lectures and field works.
Many people feel powerless in the face of the climate crisis, but the choices that we make as individuals have social, political and economic consequences that affect our living environment. By addressing some of the United Nation’s Sustainable Development Goals, students in this course will investigate ways that people can start living their lives in a sustainable way. The course will be divided into four units: 1) Supporting Local Business, 2) the Satoyama Concept / Organic Farming, 3) Waste Prevention, and 4) Corporate Responsibility. Students will be expected to research a short profile (one A4 page) of a business or community organisation for each unit to share with the class. These may be done as individuals or in pairs.
Design maintaining nature capital and conserving ecosystem service is necessary for sustainable development in urban and rural areas and natural reserve. The design with nature using ecosystem services wisely is called ecological design. In the class, students study ecological design concepts, spatial planning, natural and living materials for design, nature restoration, and monitoring methods through a whole process of a project. Students should understand natural processes and basic concepts and methods of ecological design in the class. There will be lectures, including guest ones, fieldwork, and group work. Also, there should be some reports during and after class.
