タイトル: Horses’ Social Evaluation of Human Third-Party Interactions著者: Sugimoto, Takuto; Hirata, Satoshi抄録: Humans evaluate others by observing their interactions with third parties that are not directly related to the observers’ interests. Such third-party evaluations have not been well-studied in nonhuman animals. In this study, we investigated whether horses socially evaluate humans based on their third-party interactions. We used a helping paradigm similar to that used in earlier studies with dogs and cats: that is, the horses watched as an experimenter (attempter) tried unsuccessfully to open a container in order to remove an object and then asked another actor on his right (i.e., helper/non-helper) for help. The actor either helped the attempter or refused the request by turning away. After this interaction, the attempter repeated the same procedure with another actor on his left. The actor on the left played the opposite role to the actor on the right. After th ...

タイトル: Dynamic Modeling of Magnetic Core Materials for Sub-MHz Range using Cauer Circuit著者: Okuda, Ichiro; Matsuo, Tetsuji抄録: In this study, the frequency response of nanocrystalline soft magnetic materials for sinusoidal and pulse inputs in the sub-MHz range was simulated using a combination of a play model and the Cauer circuit. The resistance and static hysteretic properties of the inductors in the circuit were determined from B-H loop measurements at two frequencies. For the convenience of parameter identification, several analytical solutions of the eddy current field were introduced and compared. The proposed model could accurately represent the loss for the sub-MHz range.記述: 2023 24th International Conference on the Computation of Electromagnetic Fields (COMPUMAG), Kyoto, Japan, 22-26 May 2023

タイトル: Efficient Transient Expression for Functional Analysis in Fruit Using the Tsukuba System Vector著者: Omori, Masafumi; Fujiwara, Yosuke; Yamane, Hisayo; Miura, Kenji; Tao, Ryutaro抄録: Evaluating the function of genes expressed in fruit tissues of fruit tree species using a genetic transformation approach is a long process because the trees are generally recalcitrant to genetic transformation and cannot bear fruit during their long juvenile phases. Transient gene expression in fruit enables the functional analysis of genes associated with fruit traits, which may accelerate the study of fruit physiology. Here, by using the recently developed “Tsukuba system”, we successfully established an efficient transient expression system in harvested fruit tissues. The “Tsukuba system” utilizes a combination of the geminiviral replication system and a double terminator, which ensures sufficient levels of transgene expression. We used blueberry fruit as a model to character ...

タイトル: Statistical Analysis of Preferences for Art Fashion著者: Tosa, Naoko; Kawamura, Harumi; Rokudo, Miwa; Nakatsu, Ryohei抄録: We proposed the concept of combining digital art and digital printing technology to wear art as fashion in everyday life. In addition, we constructed a production environment and confirmed that art fashion can be produced in a short time [1] . Wearing art in everyday life is a new experience, and it will be interesting to see what impressions people get of it. We took advantage of the opportunity of the art fashion exhibition and asked the audience to evaluate the art fashions using a questionnaire. This paper is the first report of the questionnaire analysis.記述: 2023 Nicograph International (NicoInt), June 9-10, 2023, Sapporo, Japan

タイトル: The Changing role of Women in Rural China: a case study of “Peidu”著者: Yi, Zheng抄録: Many informants have refocused their attention on the various needs of children through “Peidu”. Mrs. B, who had a hard time with her flexible work, and Mrs. F, said they always wanted to go back to the villages. Despite Mrs. B, Mrs. H, and Mrs. J, said they enjoyed the “Peidu” life, they wanted to eventually return to the villages. While attracted to urban areas where privacy is respected, many informants are unable to let go of their families and often return to their hometowns after “Peidu”.記述: The 16th Next-Generation Global Workshop; 第16回次世代グローバルワークショップ; テーマ/Theme: Migration and Quality of Life: Harnessing the Potential for Social Prosperity; 日程/Date: 29-30 September, 2023; 開催場所/Venue: Faculty of Letters, Kyoto University

タイトル: The Survival of Philippine Hostess Clubs in Japan: An Ethnographic Research After 2005 Tightening of Entertainment Visa Issuance著者: Wada, Ayuhiko Angelo抄録: As Southeast Asian countries were integrated into the international tourism market in the 1960s, commercial sex work expanded, with migrant women entering as sex workers. Governments have attempted to regulate such sex industry and linked migration, but full elimination has been challenging, and the sex industry continues to thrive in many places. In response to this situation, this report explores how enforcing specific regulations impacts the nature of the sex industry. Previous studies of sex tourism and human trafficking have focused on controlling prostitution and addressing human rights violations, but have rarely asked how such laws and regulations would change the sex industry itself. In this report, this point will be discussed from the case of Philippine hostess clubs in Japan following the 2005 tight ...

タイトル: Investigation of the Relationship between Artworks and Real Objects Using AI and Psychological Experiments著者: Hung, Mai Cong; Tosa, Naoko; Kusumi, Takashi; Nakatsu, Ryohei抄録: As it is sometimes difficult for ordinary people to understand artworks, especially in the case of abstract paintings, it would be preferable to investigate the relationship between a specific artwork or art style and real objects. We focused on how new AI technology called “style transfer” can convert photos into artistic images with a specific style. This paper challenges the problem of investigating the relationship between real objects and artworks by using this style transfer capability and the methodology of psychological experiments.記述: Lecture Notes of the Institute for Computer Sciences, Social Informatics and Telecommunications Engineering book series (LNICST, volume 479); 11th EAI International Conference, ArtsIT 2022, Faro, Portugal, November 21-22, 2022, Proceedings

タイトル: Comparative Evaluation of KANSEI Lighting Using Large and Small Numbers of Subjects著者: Nakatsu, Royhei; Tosa, Naoko; Okagaki, Satoshi; Kuwata, Muneharu; Kusumi, Takashi抄録: In this research, we compared the results of a small-scale psychological experiment conducted in our laboratory, mainly using students, with the results of a psychological experiment conducted on the same problem on a large number of ordinary people.記述: 2023 Nicograph International (NicoInt), June 9-10, 2023, Sapporo, Japan
