Every industry is faced with high uncertainty of the social and economic environment. Companies in the social infrastructure industry also adequately deal with such uncertainty. In these surroundings, “Forecast” approach is necessary but no longer sufficient for the new business development, subject creation of research and development and medium and/or long term strategy formulation. This paper indicates that it is important that the companies fully utilize “Foresight” approach for the companies to deal with the uncertainty. Forecast approach adopts the following methods that using the definite elements and the quantitative datasets. One set of prior conditions draws one certain conclusion on this approach. This is suitable under the stable-growth period or in the stable industries. “Foresight” approach focuses, meanwhile, on the uncertain materials and qualitative elements for developing businesses and strategies. Such materials and elements list users’ sense of values, societal changes and some other impacts in the future. This paper provides two examples in order to show the efficacy of “Foresight” approach. First example is the current situation and new business model of the water industry in India. Second one is the actual practices of the approach from some Japanese infrastructure companies. A telecom company, a power company and some governmental organizations have adopted the “Foresight” approach. In addition, other many private companies plan to adopt the approach. The high uncertainty of the social and economic environment requires companies in the social infrastructure industry to develop the new businesses and business models with the assistance of “Foresight” approach in order to know the changes of consumers’ and customers’behaviors.

近年、携帯電話やパソコンの普及によりリチウムイオン電池の市場も伸びてきており、二次電池のトップシェアを獲得している。しかし、リチウムイオン電池には希少金属であるコバルトが使われているため、このまま市場が拡大していくと、資源枯渇問題が懸念される。そこで、他の電池との環境有利性や資源への影響を求めるため、リチウムイオン電池の製造から、リサイクルまでにおいて、LCAを実施し、環境負荷を明らかにした。

本稿の目的は,複数のエスニック集団によるエスニック・ビジネスの混在がみられる大阪市中央区南部を対象地域として,エスニック・ビジネスの実態を明らかにすることである。対象地域には,2016年12月時点で200軒近いエスニック系施設が確認された。その大半を占めるのが韓国系施設と中国系施設であり,前者は対象地域北部を中心として大小の通り沿いに分布する一方,後者は対象地域南部の主要通り沿いに線状に分布している。また,この地域のエスニック・ビジネスは,韓国系・中国系のいずれも飲食業・サービス業が多く,特に飲食業では多様化や専門化が進展している点は共通している一方,サービス業に関しては,韓国系では日本人向けの業態への進出もみられるのに対し,中国系では同胞向けにとどまっていることが明らかになった。また対象地域におけるエスニック・ビジネス事業所では,事業所内での国籍・エスニシティが複雑化している事例がみられるなど,その実態は多様である。

The Ministry of Health, Labor, and Welfare of Japan recommends that an occupational physician (OP) play an important role in implementing the stress-check program since 2015. This study aimed to compare the activities and encountered difficulties of Japanese part-time OPs in 2008 and 2016, and to investigate the effects of the stress-check program. Questionnaires were sent via mail to 946 part-time OPs in Kyoto prefecture in 2016. Completed questionnaires were returned by 181 OPs who were private practitioners or physicians in hospitals, and served as OPs on a part-time basis. In 2016, OPs utilized long hours for activities related to general health examination and to stress-check. Hours for specific health examination, health and hygiene education, health promotion activity, development of a comfortable workplace, and guidance of workers on sick leave reduced from 2008 to 2016. A total of 62% OPs frequently encountered difficulties in the stress-check-related activities in 2016. Many OPs also reported difficulties in the mental health care and the prevention of health hazard due to overwork both in 2008 and 2016. Enforcement of the stress-check program in 2015 changed the activities of part-time OPs in Japan. OPs should be given opportunities to gain more information in this area.

This study investigates attitudes toward basic standing posture in Ballet and Kendo. Attitudes concerning the body by supecialists in both areas are desclibed on a questionnaire. This deta was reviewed and classified according to defferences and communalities between the two. The results suggests that both arts show several similarities on the human body. In the present day we draw a line between dance and budo. It has been assumed that Ballet has nothing to do with Kendo. But this study finds many similarities between the two in regards to sensibilities toward standing position.

A link between certain infectious microorganisms and an increased risk of atherosclerotic disease has been suggested. By analyzing the data of subjects who had undergone general health-screening tests, a possible association between carotid atherosclerosis and seropositivity of antibody against hepatitis C virus (HCV) has been previously reported. In the present study, a possible link between carotid atherosclerosis and HCV core protein positivity was assessed, because it is postulated to be a better marker of viremia and thus persistent infection. Of the 1992 enrolled subjects, 496 (25%) had carotid artery plaque, and 25 (1.3%) were positive for HCV core protein. Carotid artery plaque was positive in 480/1967 (24%) and 16/25 (64%) of the core protein-negative and core protein-positive subjects, respectively (p<0.0001 by χ2 test). Serum concentrations of transaminases were higher in core protein-positive subjects, but albumin concentrations were not significantly different between the 2 groups. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that HCV core protein positivity is an independent predictor of carotid plaque with an odds ratio of 5.61 (95% confidence interval 2.06-15.26, p<0.001). These data further support the possible link between persistent HCV infection and carotid atherosclerosis in the subjects without severe liver dysfunction. (Circ J 2003; 67: 26 - 30)

本稿は,全国の地方自治体へのアンケート調査により,公共施設へのネーミングライツ(以下,NR)導入の最新動向を明らかにし,その特徴について考察する.またそれを踏まえ,関連する既存研究と併せて今後の地理学的研究の可能性を探る.日本のNRは,地方自治体の脆弱財政下において官民協働や自主財源確保を目的とした広告事業の一環として導入されている.しかし,その導入状況には地域差が生じている.この理由として自治体の保有する公共施設の種類やスポンサーとなりえる企業等の立地状況が関係している.また,NR導入により施設名が変更されることで,施設名から地名が消失する事例も生じている.さらに,NR導入に対して,議会承認をはじめとする合意形成が行われていないことも明らかとなった.これらの課題に対して,経済地理学,行政地理学,地名研究,政治地理学,社会地理学をはじめとする地理学的研究の蓄積が望まれる.

Since evaluation of food is subjective and the feeling is expressed in Japanese, onomatopoeia is used in many cases. In cooking and sweets, the onomatopoeia used is different. In order to grasp the meaning of onomatopoeia, we need to read and compare the situation where each onomatopoeia is used. In this report, the "Double Rank" method which the first author proposed is applied to Blog documents to compare and to analyze Blogs.set of all words gains the best performance if 90% of the data are used as a training data. However, the set of a small number of words with positive scores outperforms other feature sets, if the training data is only 10%. In such a realistic situation, the feature words are effective in improving discernment.

Humans always sway their body when they are standing. Since the swaying is natural for human, they are not conscious of the swaying. However, today, almost all robots are designed to reduce the swaying to ensure stabilities. If communication robots can control the swaying appropriately, it might help humans to anthropomorphize the robot. In this paper, we evaluate how the swaying of a humanoid robot affects human swaying and their impressions. We measured human and robot's neck movement and asked them to answer a questionnaire after the experiments. We discovered that human swaying and impressions were affected by the robot's swaying. Human swaying is always observed whenever communications are performed. In order to apply the swaying to humanoid robots, we only use wheel control. Additionally, we can make the robot's swaying and do other actions on their upper bodies. So the result of this paper will explain how to make robots' swaying.
