Abstract

The science and technology activities in China are rapidly growing since 90s. This paper analyzes the production of scientific papers and the factor of increasing papers, and Japan-China relationship in co-authored papers. The growth rate of papers production became the sixth place in the world, the world share of papers increased by more than three times, and the papers production has concentrated on priority universities since the implementation of the top priority policy (211 project). And in internationally co-authored papers, Japan-China relationship rapidly deepens in the high share fields such as chemistries, materials, physics and engineering, while in mathematics in which China exceeds Japan, Japan-China relationship is not strong.

Abstract

During the COVID 19 pandemic, the importance of global academia-industrial alliances has increased. It is hoped that the alliances will help us to solve the current problems caused by the pandemic. In this paper, we introduce the application of IT tools and communication skills utilized in a special educational project for an academia-industrial collaboration. Some concrete examples from 2020 are provided from the viewpoint of the national alliance project in Japan. A discussion is included that describes the plans available to increase and strengthen the national project in the future. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

For over three decades, kansei engineering has expanded greatly and has become a significant discipline both in the industrial and the academic worlds. In this paper, I present the current situation of kansei engineering, and plead for the emancipation of other disciplines, as part of kansei research as well. By reconstructing the historical path of kansei research and exploring the variety of disciplines within kansei research, I point out the opportunities for kansei design to emerge. Whereas kansei engineering and kansei science have found their roots in scientifically established approaches (respectively engineering and brain science), kansei design intends to return to earlier Japanese philosophical or cultural works to rediscover the essence of kansei, and to use them as inspirational means for design. This new discipline certainly needs to be elaborated further. Therefore, this paper aims to contribute to the elaboration of a more expansive pointof- view in design research regarding the relationship between human beings and their immediate environment. Relevance to Design Practice - Next to kansei engineering, kansei design appears as a new design approach, finding inspirational means in Japanese philosophy. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
