Hokkaido University has launched the special graduate education program "Nitobe School" in 2015 to develop students' high-level transferable skills as well as to enhance their advanced specialty. The program adopts Student Emotional Intelligent Quotient (SEQ), which measures student's behavior traits based on emotional intelligent theory, as a supportive system of the assessment of educational quality. Students take the SEQ test at the time of enrollment, one year passed and completion of the program to aware the changes of behavior. This paper reports the preliminary result of SEQ score for the Japanese students in academic year 2015 as a first study. The results show the effect of a team-based learning style class in Nitobe School such as improvement of relationship to others. Furthermore, we focus on the similarly of the tendency of between the students who withdraw from the program and who complete.

In recent years, engineering education has become one of the challenging issues in Thailand education. By teaching and learning subjects independently, students are limited to subject-oriented problems, which are not in reality. To address these flaws, integrating knowledge across disciplines becomes significantly necessary. In the past years, STEM has been accepted as one of the effective strategies to bridge the difference in nature of each field to construct more practical projects and innovations. Moreover, the educational robot can be employed as a learning tool in that strategy since it not only provides challenging learning missions but also promotes computational thinking for the students. Therefore, this research study proposed STEM learning activities on three-day workshop to lay out the foundation to the high-school science-and-technology students who are becoming the engineering students. The workshop comprises of eight phases to facilitate their learning inquiry process with hands-on experience; moreover, the activities were designed in consideration of promoting computational thinking with challenging learning missions. The findings of this study showed that the proposed workshop activities are beneficial for the students who outperformed on robotics with higher computational thinking; meanwhile, they could provide more relevant responses regarding the proposed learning activities.

The sharing of application windows among multiple PCs is needed to support collaborative works. It enables users to manipulate windows from different PCs when using their own PCs. However, creating native applications with a sharing function is time consuming. We therefore developed an application window sharing system using web technology. Moreover, we developed a dongle interface for an application sharing system. This enables users to start the sharing of application windows smoothly. We tested and evaluated the practically of our system. The time required to start the application window sharing was shown to be less than 2,000 ms. The present paper describes how the system can be used for practical applications.

Recently, to prevent environmental issues such as natural resource depletion and global warming, recycling for assembly products is expected to promote both material recovery from End-of-Life products and reduction of CO_2 volumes in new production. In order to realize economical recycling, recycling factories select to disassemble or dispose each part depending on the recycling rate and cost. Furthermore, it is necessary for disassembly lines to allocate all disassembly tasks to each disassembly work station in order to minimize the number of disassembly work stations. Igarashi et al. (2015) proposed a modeling and design of multi-objective optimization of disassembly systems for minimization of disassembly costs and maximization of recycling rate and maximization of CO_2 saving rate in the case of cleaners. However, different trends may appear in the disassembly system design when other types of assembly products are recycled. This study adopts the disassembly system design by multi-objective optimization for lower disassembly cost, higher recycling and CO_2 saving rates with the environmental and economic parts selection to the cell phone case. In addition, the influence on the disassembly system design by the difference of product type is discussed.
最近，为了防止自然资源枯竭和全球变暖等环境问题，组装产品的回收利用有望促进报废产品的材料回收和减少新产品的二氧化碳量。为了实现经济回收，回收工厂根据回收率和成本选择对每个部件进行拆解或处理。此外，为了使拆卸工位的数量最小化，拆卸线有必要将所有的拆卸任务分配到每个拆卸工位。Igarashi et al.(2015)以清洁器为例，提出了一种多目标优化拆卸系统的建模和设计，以实现拆卸成本最小化、回收率最大化和CO_2节约率最大化。然而，当其他类型的装配产品被回收时，拆卸系统设计可能会出现不同的趋势。本研究采用多目标优化的拆卸系统设计，以降低拆卸成本，提高回收利用率和节省二氧化碳，并选择环保经济的零部件。此外，还讨论了产品类型的不同对拆卸系统设计的影响。

Online news websites provide diverse article topics, such as fashion news, entertainment and movie articles to attract more users and create more benefits. Analyzing users' browsing behaviors and preferences to provide online recommendations is an important trend for online news websites. In this research, we propose a novel online recommendation method for recommending movie articles to users when they are browsing the news. Specifically, association rule mining is conducted on user browsing news and movies to find the latent associations between news and movies. A novel online recommendation approach is proposed based on Latent Dirichlet Allocation, enhanced Collaborative Topic Modeling and the diversity of recommendations. We evaluate the proposed approach via an online evaluation on a real news website. The online evaluation results show that our proposed approach can enhance the click-through rate for recommending movie articles and alleviate the cold-start issue.

Academic crowdfunding, one of the concepts of open science, is a funding system in which a research candidate proposes a project online and asks for financial support from other citizens. Recently, researchers of universities and research institutions have begun using academic crowdfunding in addition to public research funding. However, there are few researches on academic crowdfunding in Japan. This study examined the characteristics of funded projects on four Japanese platforms that facilitate academic crowdfunding (Readyfor, CAMPFIRE, academist, and OTSUCLE). The results showed a significant correlation between the number of backers and amount raised, but not between the number of backers and achievement rate. The number of projects was large in biology, art and design, and physics. Such information will be useful not only for future research candidates but also for universities and research institutions to design their financial supports for researchers.

Although active learning (AL) strategies have been introduced in multiple contexts, application of the strategies in large-enrollment class still leaves much room for improvement. The purpose of this study was to describe how to apply AL strategies in a large economics class at a university. A total of 297 students on economics course at Kagawa University in fiscal year 2017 were enrolled. Designation of the course consisted of multi-step instructive techniques such as instructor-oriented seating system, multiple times of group discussions, immediate feedback from the instructor, and selection of excellent worksheets and reaction papers. At a practice level, well-designed questions at different levels, and appropriate choice of these questions for group discussions could facilitate instructor-students interactions even in the large class. Students appeared anxious about AL style class at the beginning of the course, but they gradually got used to the style, possibly due to multiple times of group discussions and immediate and meaningful feedbacks from the instructor in class. Text analysis of reaction papers from students revealed that students were impressed by both AL style lessons and the course contents. This study highlights the importance of instructors' active teaching for AL of students in a large-enrollment class.
