This course covers building construction methods as the basis for architecture.
- How do we view the size the color, and the depth of objects?
- How do we accumulate experiences and learning?
- How do we feel body and beauty?
These questions are contained in the question of how do we perceive and cognize the inside and outside of the body. This lecture will approach the laws of perception and cognition.
*Students can know some aspects of formulating the mysteries represented by concepts and formulas and predicting the phenomenon of perception and cognition by using the model* to take the lecture.
This class deals with issues concerning “learning” in a very broad sense, which includes almost all knowledge and skill that is acquired through one’s own experience or instructions. For example it includes learning of native and non-native language, literacy, everyday concepts and scientific concepts. It also includes various types of skills, such as sports, playing musical instruments, performing art, and fine arts. The goal of the class is to gain understanding of cognitive mechanisms through which learners acquire knowledge and skills. Based on this understanding, the class discusses ideal forms of learning and education in and outside classrooms.

Since the 1990s, while the world has experienced the wave of globalism, it has simultaneously been haunted by the rise of regional conflicts that had erupted subsequent to the end of the Cold War. Concurrently, the international community has been facing threats emanating from the so-called failed states, mainly due to the former's inability to stabilize the situation. Furthermore, counter measures introduced by individual states to deal with challenges represented by global warming and contagious diseases like Ebola will remain less effective if not conducted comprehensively and collectively through international and/or regional institutions or forums. This class will consider a variety of issues that require multilateral mechanism of governance.
Sports biomechanics focuses on the human movement in our sports activity from the view point of the mechanics. Sports biomechanics has mainly two approaches, Kinematics and Kinetics. Kinematics is focusing on the displacement, velocity, acceleration and their angular alternatives, namely the result of the movement. Kinetics is focusing on the force/ moment, power and energy, namely, the source of the movement. I addition to these approaches, since our human motion is caused by the signal from our brain. A neuro physical approach is necessary for sports biomechanics. In this lecture, we will study how sports biomechanics enhance the athletes performance and prevent injury.
Engineering is behind our sports activity. A facilities, equipments, sports wears and shoes are necessary for the sports. Its development is mainly based on the engineering. The aim of the engineering for sports is performance enhancement, injury prevention and comfort. This lecture will introduce these engineering aspect on the sports.
In addition, this lecture will also introduce the science and engineering aspect on the athletes' performance. Fluid dynamics, impact engineering, material sciences, etc. This lecture ensure that your insight of the sports must be changed after the semester.
"Human Movement Analysis", the students will learn how to observe human behavior and its methodology through the workshop. Fundamentally, the students will learn the physiological and biomechanical methodology in the semester. Heart rate, oxygen uptake, EMG are the topics in the physio. Motion capturte, high speed video analysis are the topics in the biomechanics.
We need knowledge of post process of the observed data set.
The students will learn both the experimental and analytical methodology through the workshop.
This class introduces theories and methods of international relations and area studies researches. A key word at the class is "global governance." This class is recommended to students who have come to SFC from other universities and overseas. Students at GR program is envisaged, but students of other programs are permitted. Lectures and discussions are mainly in Japanese.
Sequence analysis is a broad field, covering any kinds of analyses of textual sequences; e.g. those representing genomes (DNA) and proteins (amino acids). The biological sequence analyses include determining genome structures, identifying protein-coding regions (genes), predicting gene function, inferring phylogenetic relationships, and ancestral reconstruction (Coghlan, 2011; Hall, 2017). Recent studies showed that genomics and phylogenetics can track spread and evolution of novel coronavirus ([https://nextstrain.org/]). The sequence analysis methods have been used not only in the field of biology, but also in genealogy of manuscripts (Barbrook et al., 1998) and quantitative evaluation of melodic similarity (Savage et al., 2018). Thus, text-processing skills necessary to analyze sequence data can be applied to the analysis of data in other fields.
This course will provide the introduction to the main tools and databases used in the analysis of sequence data and explains how these can be used together to answer biological questions. Examples of analysis include retrieving DNA and protein sequences from public databases, DNA sequence statistics (length, GC content, DNA words, and local variation in base composition), pairwise sequence alignment (dotplot, global sequence alignment, and local sequence alignment), multiple sequence alignment, and phylogenetic inference, etc.
Students from all disciplines will use the sequence analysis methods to tackle problems in their fields (biology, language, manuscript, music, etc.).
In this course, guest speakers talk about various subjects on advanced biosciences and biotechnologies.
都市や地方地域の様相は様々な要因で変化し、それに伴いその空間も変容する。本講義では、都市空間や地方地域の変容がどのような力学の下で起るのか、その時にどのような条件を考慮に入れ、何を目標としてその再生を行われなければならないか、を具体的な都市再開発や地方再生の事例を挙げながら考察する。
本講座では、都市や地方が直面する様々な問題に向き合うための再設計について講義を行う。
日本の都市の歴史を日本固有のコミュニティ（「町」）から考証し、社会の成立ちと都市の形との関わりを探る。そして近年都市が直面する諸問題（震災、貧困、テロなど）を社会・文化・経済的側面から考え、そしてそれらが物理的な都市建築空間にどう反映されるかを事例研究から探る。
具体的な都市再設計事例として、東北復興、都市の密集地域と地方地域の再生、シリア難民問題、アフリカ都市再生などを挙げる。
３時限目に講義を行い、４時限目はそれについて議論を行う。
This course provides a broad overview of history and phenomena of NPOs and NGOs in Japan. We consider the possibilities and challenges of NPOs/NGOs through the various perspectives and actual cases. The activities of NPOs/NGOs have pioneered new social business and have played key roles in various fields of environment, international aid, social welfare, education and so on. We have understood that the emergence of NPOs has been significant since the Great Hanshin Awaji Earthquake in Kobe. However, the history and the reality have not been fully well known even though NPOs in private sector have taken roles historically in public-interest activities in Japan.
The objective of this class is to understand the history, the current situation and the characteristics of NPOs/NGOs in Japan from actual cases and various data. The goal is not to understand “know-how” of establishment and management of NPOs but to be able to explain significance of existence, effectiveness and potentiality of such activities and organizations based on objective facts and your own ideas.
We will focus on learning practical techniques and methods for making laws.
We will learn from the establishment of the law to the utilization, for example, ①What background should the law create? ②How is the law created? ③How to apply and utilize the law？
Therefore, we will challenge various tasks.
I hope that this lesson will provide an opportunity to think about how to implement laws that make use of SFC technology.

The purpose of this course is to study the systems and mechanisms of organizational communication and their impact on organizational effectiveness and dynamism of interpersonal relations in organizations. This course mainly focuses on several theories in organizational psychology such as leadership, motivation, organizational development, career development, and cross-cultural management. In the first half of this course, students will learn these theories. In the latter half of this course, students will study organizational communication based on more practical issues in workplaces. Organizational communication has been becoming more important, as organizational members (corporate employees) have been getting increasingly diversified. Although the teaching style of this course is lecture, students are expected to learn organizational communication deeply enough to utilize it in their future career.
It is true that the products of science and its applications are of significance to our lives, but at the same time there are still many social problems which cannot be solved by current science and technology, or they themselves even generate new risks to the society. This lecture course provides you an opportunity to consider how to face these problems.
There are many classes about environment at SFC, but there is no class about nature except this class. In this class we deeply discuss about nature, environment and natural environment. Students should consider a future society based on natural environment through the discussion. Students have to read documents or books and watch movies which are shown in this syllabus before a class. In a class students discuss about a theme.
Natural environment as a composition of ecosystems provides a variety of ecosystem services to human beings. however, Its capacity to accommodate human need is limited. When the pressure exceed the capacity, ecosystems may change irreversibly and enter to a unstable and unsustainable state. This sounds self-evident to every one but on paper only, no real experience. This course interpret high resolution images and calculate the land price, agricultural products, and CO2 absorptions through simple exercise. Through the processes we will learn the procedure of ecosystem assessment, the knowledge to understand the status and functions, and services of environment. By putting the results on the frame of stock and flow we will rethink the role of land capital, industrial capital and natural capital in modern society, and clarify the precondition of sustainability.
Among various environmental problems, climate change requires large-scale GHG(greenhouse gas) reduction in order to achieve 2C temperature goal under the Paris Agreement.
In this course, taking up the climate change issue as an example, students will review the plan of climate change mitigation in Fujisawa City, and consider further actions in different sector (transportation, houses, buildings, waste and energy) through group works. Through these practices, students will learn how to design a practical plan toward solution of an environmental problem.
