In this lecture, students who have never conducted molecular biology experiments will be explained from the handling of laboratory equipment so that they can start research smoothly. In addition to simply explaining the experimental methods, I will also lecture my own research experiences and failures. Originally, research is to acquire actual knowledge and skills by being scolded by faculty members and seniors in the laboratory, and it takes a long time. In my domestic and international research life, there was no class to transfer systematic techniques and know-how, and I have never heard of such a story. Therefore, many students are making similar mistakes. In this class, I will make use of such experiences, incorporate my own research experiences and failures, and generously convey information useful for efficient research of students.

　The world’s nations face rapid aging, and in Japan’s unprecedented super aging society, 30% of the population will be 65 or older by 2030, rising to 40% by 2055. The world’s eyes are upon Japan to see how we handle this situation. Publicly-financed medical care costs exceed 33 trillion yen, and are climbing by one trillion yen annually. I believe that this severe crisis presents itself, on the contrary, as an opportunity to share our accumulated know-how with the global nations in similar straits. The average human lifespan in Japan is 80.9 years, 74.5 of them lived in reasonable health, leaving 6.4 years spent in a bedridden or similar state. Approximately 66% of lifelong medical expenses occur after age 60, with about half remaining after age 70, and some 20% occurring during the final year of life. However, recent research suggests that medical care costs do not expand with a longer life; in fact, healthy longevity sees across-the-board decreases in medical care costs. In other words, achieving healthy longevity not only results in a better QOL (quality of life) for the vital individual and family, but also positively impacts rising publicly-financed medical care costs.

Approximately three-fourths of the Nobel prize in Physiology or Medicine and half of the Nobel prize in Chemistry have been related to Life Science-Cell Biology. There has been no such academic domain. I think that the reason why Cell Biology is so special is because it has been worked as a driving force to support human society and health. In this class, I am planing to explain some extremely important and epoch making discoveries from the recent 30-years Nobel prize (especially, if it is performed by Japanese scientists).

The internal world of the mind is manifested through diverse forms of expression. Of these, I will explore, in particular, the experiential world surrounding “images” from a psychoanalytic perspective. How a person can understand “images” richly and deeply depends on the spread and depth of the area of experiences possessed by the reader of such images. Therefore, to understand the entity that reads the images itself, I will place emphasis on the process of discussing a wide range of image experiences.

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.

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.

The purpose of this class is to understand the perceptual-motor skills in human motor behavior like a sports considering relationships between human, task, and environment from the field of the sports psychology.

Most of the programming languages including C and Java are procedural, but this class deals with functional programming languages which are built on top of totally different concept from procedural ones. In function programming languages, programs are constructed by combining functions. Functions are treated as ordinal values and higher order functions make programs simple for complicated problems.

Using p5.js, a programming language, and a development environment, we will discuss design and programming. In addition, students will practice and create works while coding. Aimed mainly at beginners in programming, the course will start with the basics of programming (control structure, repetition) through visual expressions and eventually aim to acquire advanced expressions using 3D expressions, image processing, and data analysis.
