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.
本授業は英語で開講されますThis course is jointly conducted with Yonsei University in Seoul, Korea and Fudan University in Shanghai, China through Distance Learning (DL), simultaneously connected via web conference.

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.

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.).
Recently, the output of life sciences has been applied to industrial fields such as medial, environmental and food areas.

This class is organized by researchers from not only inside cyber-informatics division in SFC, but also outside SFC. All the speakers are at the top class. The topics include human-computer interaction, signal processing, medical informatics, data system.
Through this workshop, students will learn policy making processes for institutional solution, using materials on ICT (information communication technology) field rapidly changing.
There are two types of bills to be enacted at the Diet. One is to be submitted by the government (Cabinet submission bills) and another to be submitted by Diet members (Diet member submission bills). Among them, most of the bills to be submitted by the Cabinet will be formulated based on reports discussed by councils, committees and study groups etc. composed of external experts, established by ministries which are required to submit bills.
In this workshop, I will first give lectures on the basic knowledge on legislation (such as the process up to the establishment of law) and the information and communication fields such as the Internet and digital broadcasting.
We will learn about "how to make laws (policies)", through the presentation and discussion by students on ① how to discover real problems, ② how to choose solution methods, and ③ how to make compromises among interested parties.
In addition, this workshop will not deal with the technical wording on how to write laws.
This course will explain what contracts are, why contracts needed, how contracts work and more by verifying various contracts. The students will learn about basis of contracts in business through case studies.

Participants will be asked to present their marketing plans at the final debriefing session (as a group) and to submit a report on each survey/experiment (as an individual).
Social entrepreneur and social business are the business that aims to solve social problems(Welfare, environmental measures, education, poverty, and international cooperation) such as the government and the market has not been able to solve so far.
Solving social problems requires a new way of thinking that connects people in difficult situations with social resources. Social entrepreneurs use business methods to ensure that the system is sustainable.
In recent years, with increasing interest in climate change and SDGs, many companies are also interested in social business.
This class is designed for students who will start up social business and who will work in the government, social enterprise and foundation. They will learn the ideas and perspectives of social business, actually do the planning of social business.
Waiting for students who want to act themselves in order to create a good society.
In 2007, the United Nations estimated that, for the first time, more than half of the world’s population lived in cities. The ongoing urbanization of the human population represents an enormous change for our environmental, economic, social, and cultural practices. The creation and operation of cities is a leading contributor to climate change, and the way we manage architecture, infrastructure, and landscape must change if we are to avoid its worst effects. Designing sustainable cities has become an imperative. At the same time, the city is a cultural landscape. From its origins in antiquity, the city has been a place for the exchange of goods and ideas and place for us to congregate and share in the riches of a public realm. Cities are, perhaps, our greatest artistic achievement as a species.
The central question asked by this course is: how do we balance the ecological and social imperatives of our time with the cultural and aesthetic functions of the city? There is no easy answer to this question, but in our pursuit of one we will investigate theories, technologies, and practices of city making in broad terms. Historical episodes in the development of architecture, infrastructure, and urban planning will be examined to provide context for our analysis of the contemporary city as a complex system. Throughout the course, both Japanese and global examples will be considered. Key topics covered include aesthetics, demographic change, design, energy use, economics, and social patterns insofar as these influence the processes and outcomes of urbanization. Students are encouraged to be critical of the concepts presented and to form and express their own opinions.
