In this paper, the author discusses a theme of “Thetical and Antithetical Business Management.” The thetical business management signifies “a management style minimizes an objective function, which expresses consumers' expenditure of service goods, with holding a constraint condition, which expresses guaranteed level of expenditure.”While the antithetical business management is “a management style maximize an objective function, which expresses consumers' satisfaction concerning service goods, with holding a constraint condition, which expresses limits of their service goods expenditure.”In other words, the thetical business management can be formulated as a Primal Problem of Linear Programming, whereas the antithetical business management as its Dual Problem of Linear Programming.

The concept of entropy which was introduced by Clausius in 1850 as a thermodynamic property has been extended to the economics theory, information theory, and others. Even though “entropy” is used in many fields of science, it is not easy to understand the concept of entropy, as well as describing it by words/terms. In this paper, we investigated an appropriate way of representing the concept of entropy by words. At first, we surveyed the commonly used words in describing the concept of entropy. We pointed out the problem that the language expression does not accurately represent the entire concept of entropy. Secondly we examined the correlation between the thermodynamic entropy calculated from the particle animations simulating the molecular motion and the psychological quantity obtained by showing those animations to participants. As a result, we found that the representation of the word “degree of diffusion” has relatively good correlation with the entropy value.

“Kawaii” is a sensibility peculiar in Japan, but widely used in the world nowadays. In this report, the kawaii degree of twelve aroma oils and the concentration dependence were evaluated by sensory evaluation. Mostly, higher kawaii evaluation appeared at lower concentration, but at higher concentration in fruits fragrances. On the other hand, high correlation (R = 0.796) between kawaii and preference was observed. However, their factors were different. For high “kawaii”, the impression terms of “feminine” and “infant” were derived. In high “preference”, “favorable impression” and “friendly” were derived. Incidentally, there was no gender difference for recognition of “kawaii”. By classifying subjects with similar recognition of “kawaii”, groups mixed with male and female were formed.

In recent years, coaching has been utilized in various fields. Much practical research on coaching has employed observable indicators, such as scores in sports, to demonstrate coaching effectiveness. However, career coaching does not have such observable indicators. The authors consider the client's generation of internal values to be an important factor in career coaching. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to analyze unobservable internal value creation in the career coaching process, and to clearly assess coaching effectiveness in this light. The results revealed two types of coaching pattern which elicited client value judgments: one which enhanced existing client values, and one which provided new variables. In addition, we found that the career coaching process had two phases, in which understanding and then consent are enhanced. The study suggested the importance of the coaching process in general, and of the generation of internal values therein.

The seasoning action is greatly influenced by the memory of taste. In the present research the experiment that the cook with a different experience expresses the memory of taste is done. The relation between the seasoning action and the activity of working memory is compared with the different cooking experience, and the effect of the memory of taste on the seasoning action is discussed. NIRS is used for the measurement of the activity. As a result, the cook who has the strong memory of taste performs the feed-forward action to reduce the difference between the memory and the cooked taste, there is a probability of the product development that bases cooked characteristic.

In this paper, we carried out a subjective evaluation on the perceptual difference in female speech to show the gender difference in its likability and analyzed a relationship between the acoustic features and subjective scores. This subjective evaluation used female speech uttered by 21 speakers as the stimuli, and 127 subjects (47 males and 80 females) attended it. The results suggested that there was the speech preferred without the gender difference and preferred by one gender. We then analyzed the correlation between subjective scores and five acoustic features: fundamental frequency, formant frequency, amplitude difference, spectral centroid and spectral tilt. In female subjects, statistically significant correlations were observed in all features. In male subjects, significant correlation was observed only in spectral tilt. In particular, correlation in spectral tilt showed the inverse trend between male and female subjects. These results suggest that the spectral tilt is effective in the gender difference.

Nigirikawa is a leather tape attached to Japanese bow in Kyudo. It assists the “Teuchi” (the method of gripping bow), which is to twist the bow counterclockwise to make the arrow fly straight. Kyudo players select the materials of the Nigirikawa for ease of use from subjective impression. The objective of this study is to examine the effectiveness of grip strength in drawing the bow as an objective evaluation index. We attached four pressure sensors to the grip of the bow to measure the pressure during shooting and compared the four types of Nigirikawa (deer, shark, cow, and sheep). The results showed that the differences of gripping force depending on the ease of use of the Nigirikawa in two movements of “Daisan” and “Kai”. Therefore, we concluded that gripping force is effective as an objective evaluation index of Nigirikawa.

Hairstyles are important for many women in visual attractiveness. However, it is difficult to objectively judge by themselves which hairstyle suits for them. Previous study has reported that circular-based complexity of psychological potential field (PPF), which can be calculated on digital images, indicates goodness of impressions for facial shapes. In this paper, we apply some complexities of PPF, including the previous complexity, to facial images to investigate whether good hairstyles for facial impressions can be quantified. Here, with constraining several facial components, subjective evaluation and objective evaluation have been compared by correlation analysis. Subjective evaluation adopts a paired comparison method, and objective evaluation adopts several shape analyses of PPF produced from each facial image. The results show a necessity to evaluate PPF with the gender separated. Moreover, some three-dimensional complexities of PPF indicated a certain effectiveness to assess good impression for hairstyles.

In this study, by proposing a model with a hierarchical relationship, we reconsidered the methodology utilizing the semantic differential technique. The proposed approach divided the subjective evaluation into the evaluative aspect and descriptive aspect, and identified the former as the upper layer expressing the level of value and the latter as a lower layer expressing the level of semantics. The subjective evaluation data was obtained in evaluation experiments measuring the value and semantics for the three-dimensional objects. Based on the obtained data, the proposed model was examined to see whether it can reflect individual differences and the influences of evaluation contexts that have been conventionally been treated as errors. Results showed that the proposed model expressed the influence of context and individual differences and suggested the need for a hierarchical approach beyond the framework of the semantic differential method, such as the conventional EPA structure.

This paper describes a system which composes operetta songs fitting to story scenes represented by texts and/or pictures. Inputs to the system are original theme music, numerical information on given story scenes and story texts. The system composes variations on theme music and lyrics according to image of music and lyrics obtained from numerical information on given story scenes. Evolutionary computation is applied to generations of variations and lyrics. Using a vocal synthesizer and a general midi synthesizer, the system plays operetta songs as the variations on theme music with the lyrics. The system reflects user's Kansei to variations on theme music and lyrics using interactive evolutionary computation. This paper also describes the evaluation experiments to confirm whether the composed songs reflect impressions of story scenes appropriately or not.

When performing sensory evaluation, it is necessary to consider not only using a lot of time and cost but also human factors such as stress of subjects. This study focused on solution viscoelasticity and peel force. In order to link above properties with sensory values, we performed sensory evaluation for subjects to various samples with different properties. The obtained sensory values were averaged to exclude influences of individual differences, and the correlation between the obtained sensory values and measured properties was investigated. As the results, high correlation was obtained between sensory properties about “moist”, “refresh”, “smooth”, and “sticky”. Also, high correlation was obtained between sensory properties about “sticky” and “skin familiarity” and the maximum value of peel force measured during 50 cycles of measurements. Therefore, when evaluating skin feeling of skin toner, it may be possible to substitute skin feelings to the evaluation of solution viscoelasticity and maximum peel force.

The purpose of this study is to find effective design elements to make maps easy to use for people with poor directional ability. We conducted comparative experiments using 12 types of existing maps. 58 subjects tried to find their ways using several maps in large spaces such as shopping malls and stations with rather complex structures. After observing their behaviors, we conducted interviews to clarify supportive design elements of maps to find ways. As a result, we found some effective design elements such as vivid color tones, the right angle of bird's-eye-view, the right degree of deformation of illustrations, readable design from upside down position when maps are rotated, for example. We also found two important requirements of map design; (1) landmarks on maps should be easily collated with real landmarks, (2) relations between different stories of the building should be clearly described.

This paper reports on the results of a literature review and text-mining analysis conducted to understand how the kawaii emotion had been expressed in Japanese. The Japanese term kawaii can be translated to English as lovable, cute, pretty, and sweet comprehensively. In Japanese, the kawaii emotion had long been expressed using different words, many of which have multiple other meanings. In addition, some words that had been used to express the kawaii emotion took on new meanings. The words that had been exclusively used to refer to the kawaii emotion are megushi, utsukushi, rotashi, kahayushi, and shiorashi. In modern Japanese, nuances such as ‘sweet’ and ‘pitiful’ were removed from the concept of kawaii whereas others such as ‘smiling’ were added.

Utility lines are sometime criticized as a prime factor in the unsightly visual impression of Japanese landscapes. This research investigates a cognitive bias leading the landscapes to seem to be wirescapes. Participants evaluated two kinds of landscape pictures: one with electronic lines and another where the lines were digitally eliminated. When evaluated side by side, participants showed clear preference for one picture over the other, typically strong preferences for wire-free landscapes, although when evaluated separately, they showed no preference. The findings suggest that people, at least Japanese people living in Japan, are insensitive to utility lines in their vision and that those who are exposed to wirescapes tend to form a similar impression to those who exposed to wire-free landscapes in a typical real-life situation, where a comparison isn’t readily available.

The purpose of this study was to estimate the usage and comfort levels of wearing sectional pressure socks, and sectional pressure pantyhose through psycho-physiological responses. Experiment samples are socks of sectional pressure, normal socks, pantyhose of sectional pressure and normal pantyhose. The subjects were 20 female university students. Each sample was measured over the same period of time, one day, and checked using electrocardiogram measurement to determine psychological comfort and a questionnaire to determine physiological comfort. From results of electrocardiogram measurement, normal socks decreased psychological comfort more than socks of sectional pressure over time. Moreover, the difference in the psychological comfort between in pantyhose, normal pantyhose or pantyhose of sectional pressure could not be discerned by the questionnaire. From the results of the questionnaire, both socks and normal socks increased knots and discomfort as time passed, but socks of sectional pressure brought down knots and remained at a comfortable level. In pantyhose, pantyhose of sectional pressure felt more comfortable than normal pantyhose for all regions of the leg. However, as comparing thigh to ankle and calf, pantyhose of sectional pressure of comfortable sensation value exhibited discomfort, and physiological comfort showed no significant difference between pantyhose of sectional pressure and normal pantyhose after 6 hours. Therefore, we assumed that comfortable sensation for pressure of clothes was impaired, comparing thigh to ankle and calf. Consequently, we conclude that psycho-physiological comfort for pantyhose of sectional pressure was influenced by pressure of clothes on the thigh.

High-frequency waves, such as edges, and local distributions of intensity signal are important in the sense of material and textures. Color filter arrays, popularly adopted in digital cameras, capture only one of the R, G, or B values for each pixel. To capture full color data for each pixel, we have to interpolate the values from neighboring pixels. In this process, high-frequency waves, such as edges, may be lost in rough sampling and interpolation of color values. This paper proposes our new idea in interpolation of color values by probabilistically estimating 2D edge structure in high-frequent part to keep the original sense of material. Our basic idea is based on restoration of continuous digital line patterns, which corresponds to edge models. This paper also shows our experimental results and the performance comparing with the original full color image and the conventional method such as Hamilton method.

The effects of package color on taste impression by appearance of plastic bottled green tea were studied. In Experiment 1, participants rated the taste impressions (sweetness, astringency, mellowness, refreshment, umami, strength, flavor, quaffableness, liking) by appearance of plastic bottled green tea with nine color packages (red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, brown, black, and white). It was showed that the ratings varied with color for all these taste impressions. In Experiment 2, AHP (Analytic Hierarchy Process) procedure was used to investigate how participants evaluated their preference for colors. Three kinds of taste impressions (sweetness, strength, and quaffableness) were designed as evaluation items in AHP. The results revealed that green color made a favorable impression on all evaluation items. Cluster analysis was then applied to assess potential individual difference of the preference for taste impressions. It was shown that evaluation pattern could be classified mainly into three types (high scores on sweetness, strength, or quaffableness, respectively), and that there may be differences of the preference for colors among different types of the preference for taste impressions.

In this paper, we conduct a questionnaire survey on the web, and investigate how the impressions people feel from viewing stimulus images change by combination of fonts and background colors constituting the images. For the background colors, we adopt a total of six primary colors; three primary colors of light consisting of red, green and blue, and three primary colors of paint consisting of cyan, magenta and yellow. For the fonts, we adopt Gothic and Mincho types, and use non-bold and bold faces in each type. As impression scales used for rating impressions from stimulus images, we use not only “Legibility” and “Readability” conventionally used but also “Destruction,” “Passion,” “Nature,” “Peace,” “Honesty,” “Calmness,” “Freshness,” “Coolness,” “Sexy,” “Love,” “Curiosity,” and “Happiness,” which were selected from words representing impressions of the six primary colors.

A lot of enterprises are requesting the production system for which it appeals to the sensibility now. Therefore, all people's eyes are focused on the key word of “Customer Experience”. However, the experience model is not enough in the point of practical application. A concrete explanation of the idea how the enterprise should create customer experience value is insufficient. In this study, we thought “Customer Experience” to be “Entertainment value”. And, the Johnny's theatrical agency that was the enterprise of excellent was taken up as an object of study. We consider the creation of “Entertainment value” by using the case with kansei value that the TV performer of Johnny's creates.

The generation of attractive sentences for consumers is an important issue. In this paper, we propose a new method to generate title sentences that are more popular on YouTube, which is gaining large popularity in recent years. In the proposed method, the automatic generation of titles is regarded as a sentence style transfer task; The title sentence generated by the video creator is transformed into a more attractive one. Specifically, first, the latent variable is obtained by the back translation method. In the back translation method, it translates the original title into another language and retranslates it into Japanese. Then, style transfer is performed based on this latent variable to generate a more attractive title sentence. In addition, transfer learning is employed to address the problem of scarce training data. Subjective evaluation experiments have been conducted to show the effectiveness of the proposed method.
