"Gut microbiota control our behavior! "
"It's actually the bacteria in our gut that makes us fat!"
The truth is that all of this sounds like a lie. It is estimated that there are as many, if not more, intestinal bacteria living in our intestinal tract, than there are cells in our entire body. Gut microbiota has various effects on our body by crosstalk with host intestinal neurons, endocrine cells, and immune cells. In this lecture, the functions of the gut microbiota that contribute to the maintenance and promotion of host health will be outlined. In addition, the roles of the gut microbiota in the development of the intestinal immune system, various diseases caused by imbalances in the gut microbiota, and methods of disease prevention and treatment through appropriate control of gut microbiota will be explained, including the latest findings.

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.
（Please note that animation may be used as a material for legal analysis.）
What is human capital?
Why is it important to invest in (all) people?
How have countries successfully invested in people?

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.

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.).
