- (1 other version)Interactions between a quiz robot and multiple participants.Akiko Yamazaki,Keiichi Yamazaki,Keiko Ikeda,Matthew Burdelski,MihokoFukushima,Tomoyuki Suzuki,Miyuki Kurihara,Yoshinori Kuno &Yoshinori Kobayashi -2013 -Interaction Studies. Social Behaviour and Communication in Biological and Artificial Systemsinteraction Studies / Social Behaviour and Communication in Biological and Artificial Systemsinteraction Studies 14 (3):366-389.This paper reports on a quiz robot experiment in which we explore similarities and differences in human participant speech, gaze, and bodily conduct in responding to a robot’s speech, gaze, and bodily conduct across two languages. Our experiment involved three-person groups of Japanese and English-speaking participants who stood facing the robot and a projection screen that displayed pictures related to the robot’s questions. The robot was programmed so that its speech was coordinated with its gaze, body position, and gestures in (...) relation to transition relevance places, key words, and deictic words and expressions in both languages. Contrary to findings on human interaction, we found that the frequency of English speakers’ head nodding was higher than that of Japanese speakers in human-robot interaction. Our findings suggest that the coordination of the robot’s verbal and non-verbal actions surrounding TRPs, key words, and deictic words and expressions is important for facilitating HRI irrespective of participants’ native language. Keywords: coordination of verbal and non-verbal actions; robot gaze comparison between English and Japanese; human-robot interaction ; transition relevance place ; conversation analysis. (shrink)

- Multilayered sociocultural phenomena: Associations between subjective well‐being and economic status.Fukushima Shintaro -2016 -Zygon 51 (1):191-203.In this article, incoherent results of the associations between subjective well-being and economic status at multiple social levels are shown. Although individual-level positive associations are shown within developed countries, national-level associations disappear among developed countries. Group/area-level associations, meanwhile, do exist within Japanese societies. From these inconsistent phenomena, a sociocultural unit is proposed, within which well-being of people is collectively shared based on mutual reciprocity. The simple addition of social scientific results themselves cannot reconstruct the whole range of phenomena. Humanities could (...) be considered as the glue, which adds sociocultural meanings to the generalized scientific results. (shrink)

- The two faces of FBW7 in cancer drug resistance.Zhiwei Wang,HidefumiFukushima,Daming Gao,Hiroyuki Inuzuka,Lixin Wan,Alan W. Lau,Pengda Liu &Wenyi Wei -2011 -Bioessays 33 (11):851-859.Chemotherapy is an important therapeutic approach for cancer treatment. However, drug resistance is an obstacle that often impairs the successful use of chemotherapies. Therefore, overcoming drug resistance would lead to better therapeutic outcomes for cancer patients. Recently, studies by our own and other groups have demonstrated that there is an intimate correlation between the loss of the F‐box and WD repeat domain‐containing 7 (FBW7) tumor suppressor and the incurring drug resistance. While loss of FBW7 sensitizes cancer cells to certain drugs, (...) FBW7‐/‐ cells are more resistant to other types of chemotherapies. FBW7 exerts its tumor suppressor function by promoting the degradation of various oncoproteins that regulate many cellular processes, including cell cycle progression, cellular metabolism, differentiation, and apoptosis. Since loss of the FBW7 tumor suppressor is linked to drug resistance, FBW7 may represent a novel therapeutic target to increase drug sensitivity of cancer cells to conventional chemotherapeutics. This paper thus focuses on the new functional aspects of FBW7 in drug resistance. (shrink)

- Japanese tort-case dataset for rationale-supported legal judgment prediction.Hiroaki Yamada,Takenobu Tokunaga,Ryutaro Ohara,Akira Tokutsu,Keisuke Takeshita &Mihoko Sumida -forthcoming -Artificial Intelligence and Law:1-25.This paper presents the first dataset for Japanese Legal Judgment Prediction (LJP), the Japanese Tort-case Dataset (JTD), which features two tasks: tort prediction and its rationale extraction. The rationale extraction task identifies the court’s accepting arguments from alleged arguments by plaintiffs and defendants, which is a novel task in the field. JTD is constructed based on annotated 3477 Japanese Civil Code judgments by 41 legal experts, resulting in 7978 instances with 59,697 of their alleged arguments from the involved parties. Our (...) baseline experiments show the feasibility of the proposed two tasks, and our error analysis by legal experts identifies sources of errors and suggests future directions of the LJP research.

- Biologically Inspired Emotional Expressions for Artificial Agents.Beáta Korcsok,Veronika Konok,György Persa,Tamás Faragó,Mihoko Niitsuma,Ádám Miklósi,Péter Korondi,Péter Baranyi &Márta Gácsi -2018 -Frontiers in Psychology 9:388957.A special area of human-machine interaction, the expression of emotions gains importance with the continuous development of artificial agents such as social robots or interactive mobile applications. We developed a prototype version of an abstract emotion visualization agent to express five basic emotions and a neutral state. In contrast to well-known symbolic characters (e.g., smileys) these displays follow general biological and ethological rules. We conducted a multiple questionnaire study on the assessment of the displays with Hungarian and Japanese subjects. In (...) most cases participants were successful in recognizing the displayed emotions. Fear and sadness were most easily confused with each other while both the Hungarian and Japanese participants recognized the anger display most correctly. We suggest that the implemented biological approach can be a viable complement to the emotion expressions of some artificial agents, for example mobile devices. (shrink)

- AfterFukushima: The Equivalence of Catastrophes.Jean-Luc Nancy -2014 - New York: Fordham University Press.In this book, the philosopher Jean-Luc Nancy examines the nature of catastrophes in the era of globalization and technology. Can a catastrophe be an isolated occurrence? Is there such a thing as a “natural” catastrophe when all of our technologies—nuclear energy, power supply, water supply—are necessarily implicated, drawing together the biological, social, economic, and political? Nancy examines these questions and more. Exclusive to this English edition are two interviews with Nancy conducted by Danielle Cohen-Levinas and Yuji Nishiyama and Yotetsu Tonaki.No categories
- Fukushima : une mutation épistémico-politique.Alain-Marc Rieu -2016 -Rue Descartes 88 (1):17.A une époque où se transforme l’inscription des sociétés humaines dans l’environnement biophysique, où se pose donc la question de l’énergie, des ressources et des besoins énergétiques, la catastrophe deFukushima permet de poser et explorer divers problèmes. -/- Pour expliquer la catastrophe, l’analyse a mis au jour un niveau de la réalité sociale que les sciences humaines et sociales établies n’exposent pas complètement: elles explorent un niveau de la réalité sociale organisée selon la différentiation actuellement prévalentes des secteurs (...) d’activité propres aux systèmes sociaux observables. Les travaux de Michel Foucault, les problèmes qu’ils posent et les concepts qu’il formule, ouvrent la possibilité rendre compte des multiples connaissances produites depuis mars 2011. -/- Le but de ces diverses analyses de la catastrophe deFukushima est de montrer comment, dans un système social donné, les différents réseaux de pouvoir sont agrégés en une structure qui assure leur stabilité, conditionnent leur capacité d’adaptation aux évènements perturbant cette structure, comment ces réseaux de pouvoir investissent l’environnement biophysique pour générer les écologies à la base de nos sociétés. Le casFukushima prouve qu’on ne connaît pas réellement une société sans atteindre ce niveau où les divers composants d’un système social sont associés et inscrits dans l’environnement biophysique sous forme d’écologies associées.

- AfterFukushima Daiichi: New Global Institutions for Improved Nuclear Power Policy.Thom Brooks -2012 -Ethics, Policy and Environment 15 (1):63 - 69.This comment argues for the importance of global institutions to regulate nuclear power. Nuclear power presents challenges across national borders irrespective of whether plants are maintained safely. There are international agreements in place on the disposal of nuclear waste, an issue of great concern in terms of environmental and health effects for any nuclear power policy. However, there remains a pressing need for an international agreement to ensure the safe maintenance of nuclear facilities. Safe nuclear power beyond waste disposal should (...) receive more attention. Nuclear power policy is often a matter of pure state interest with national governments alone responsible for regulating the safe maintenance of nuclear facilities. It ought not be left to national governments alone to regulate the safe administration of nuclear power given the many threats to environmental safety and public health. This comment argues that global institutions may best address this problem. The comment concludes with recommendations on how nuclear power policy might be regulated. (shrink)
- Nuclear Power afterFukushima 2011: Buddhist and Promethean Perspectives.Graham Parkes -2012 -Buddhist-Christian Studies 32:89-108.In lieu of an abstract, here is a brief excerpt of the content:Nuclear Power afterFukushima 2011:Buddhist and Promethean PerspectivesGraham ParkesDuring 2010 many environmentalists previously opposed to nuclear power were deciding, in the face of anthropogenic climate change from burning fossil fuels, that the only way to prevent runaway global warming would be to build more nuclear power plants after all.1 There are risks involved—though fewer than with carbon-based sources of energy.2 When one compares the detrimental effects of nuclear (...) power with those of burning fossil fuel, it is clear that the human injury and death toll (not to mention environmental devastation) resulting from the former have been nothing compared to the damage caused by the extraction and consumption of fossil fuels, owing to mining accidents, oil spills, and so forth—not to mention the massive carbon dioxide emissions.On the other hand, the problem of how and where to store the growing amount of radioactive waste from nuclear power plants, which remains deadly for many thousands of years, has yet to be solved. Costly security measures have to be taken to guard against terrorist attacks and theft of materials usable for nuclear devices. When full safety features are included, nuclear power plants become ever more expensive to build, and the costs of insuring them against accidents are so prohibitive that governments have to subsidize them, which they are increasingly unwilling to do.Not long after the explosions and meltdowns at theFukushima Daiichi nuclear power station in March 2011, two dismal world records were announced: in 2010 we discharged a record amount of carbon dioxide (more than 30 gigatons) into the atmosphere, mainly by burning fossil fuels, and, as a direct consequence, carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere (as measured at the Earth Systems Research Laboratory in Hawai'i) reached a record level of 395 parts per million. These figures suggest that we are continuing to generate a rise in global average temperatures that is already destroying the livelihoods of millions and will soon jeopardize the lives of hundreds of millions more.As a consequence of the 2011Fukushima disaster, Japan—long a leading promoter of nuclear power—has begun to enforce some widely neglected safety regulations and is seriously reconsidering its reliance on nuclear energy. China has put construction of [End Page 89] new power plants on hold. Other nations (such as Germany, Italy, Switzerland, Thailand, and Malaysia) have decided to phase out or cancel plans to build more nuclear power stations. Yet the primary motivations remain unclear, since people's attitudes toward the dangers of nuclear radiation are anything but rational—as evidenced by the mass departure of foreigners from Japan after the catastrophe atFukushima, when health dangers beyond the vicinity of the power station were minimal.In Europe, the reaction to theFukushima disaster has clearly been aggravated by memories of the catastrophe at Chernobyl in 1986. While Chernobyl was a more widely destructive event thanFukushima, releasing a much greater amount of radioactivity, its effects on human health continue to generate disagreement. According to the third report on the effects of the Chernobyl catastrophe issued by the United Nations Scientific Committee on the Effects of Atomic Radiation (UNSCEAR), among the 134 plant staff and emergency workers who suffered acute radiation syndrome (ARS), the condition proved fatal for twenty-eight of them. By 2006 another nineteen ARS survivors died, although their deaths were not directly attributable to the effects of ionizing radiation. Although the report attributes "a substantial fraction" of the six thousand cases of thyroid cancer in people who were children at the time of the accident to their consumption of milk contaminated with iodine-131, only fifteen cases had proved fatal by 2005, some twenty years later.3 The death toll, then, was fewer than fifty.By contrast, a study by a group of scientists from Belarus, Russia, and the Ukraine, Chernobyl: Consequences of the Catastrophe for People and the Environment, estimates the number of deaths attributable to the meltdown at around 980,000—almost twenty thousand times greater than the estimate by the UN scientific committee.4 What are we to make of this vast discrepancy, especially since the UNSCEAR report "was prepared in close cooperation with...

- L'équivalence des catastrophes (AprèsFukushima).Jean-Luc Nancy -2012 - Paris: Éditions Galilée.La catastrophe deFukushima n’est pas considérée ici seulement comme le dernier désastre majeur qui oblige à repenser l’usage de l’énergie nucléaire. On envisage sa leçon de manière plus générale, en tant qu’elle manifeste l’interdépendance désormais inextricable des phénomènes dits « naturels » et des ensembles techniques, sociaux, politiques, économiques dont la connexion générale nous oppresse. Toutes les catastrophes ne sont certes pas équivalentes. Mais l’équivalence dont on veut parler ici est celle qui met en correspondance et qui fait (...) circuler dans la communication et dans la consommation générales tous les éléments de notre existence – les vies, les biens, les forces, les énergies. Le signe et le porteur de cette circulation n’est autre que la valeur en tant qu’argent, ou valeur du « march頻 : l’« équivalence générale » dont parlait Marx. C’est elle qui propage une catastrophe généralisée.Que veut dire « penser » dans cette condition qui est la nôtre? (shrink)

- Following theFukushima Disaster on (and against) Wikipedia: A Methodological Note about STS Research and Online Platforms.David Moats -2019 -Science, Technology, and Human Values 44 (6):938-964.Science and technology studies is famous for questioning conceptual and material boundaries by following controversies that cut across them. However, it has recently been argued that in research involving online platforms, there are also more practical boundaries to negotiate that are created by the variable availability, visibility, and structuring of data. In this paper, I highlight a potential tension between our inclination toward following controversies and “following the medium” and suggest that sometimes following controversies might involve going “against platforms” as (...) well as with them. I will illustrate this dilemma through an analysis of the controversy over the coverage of theFukushima disaster on English language Wikipedia, which concerns boundaries between expert and lay knowledge but also the social and technical functioning of Wikipedia itself. For this reason, I show that following the controversy might mean making use of less formatted and less obvious data than Wikipedia normally provides. While this is not an argument against the use of automated digital research tools such as scrapers, I suggest that both quantitative and qualitative researchers need to be more willing to tweak their approaches based on the specificities of the case.

- Engineering Ethics onFukushima.Yusuke Kaneko -2013 -International Journal of Humanities and Social Science 3 (3).In this paper, we discuss the problems of Tohoku earthquake in terms of engineering ethics. But as“engineers,”we also count seismologists. This is because, simply thinking, the recent disaster is partially attributable to seismologists. Through the discussion, including an overview of the earthquake, we reach the conclusion endorsing the abolition of nuclear power plants.
- Stress-Testing Europe: Normalizing the Post-Fukushima Crisis.Başak Saraç-Lesavre &Brice Laurent -2019 -Minerva 57 (2):239-260.TheFukushima accident was a crisis in Japan, and a crisis elsewhere. In Europe, the aftermath ofFukushima was a period of intense questioning, about how to ensure the safety of nuclear reactors, and how, at the same time, ensure the ability of the European Union to act as a consistent political actor in the face of potentially catastrophic risks. Using empirical material related to the post-Fukushima stress tests and the subsequent discussions about the European regulatory framework (...) for nuclear safety, this paper shows that stress tests have provided a peculiar form of European intervention, restabilizing regulatory boundaries while extending the European gaze. It describes the overall operation thereby performed as the “normalization of the crisis” whereby the exceptional situation enters the realm of the normal functioning of the public administrations, and where the actions undertaken take the form of the legal norm.

- Implicit Attitudes About Agricultural and Aquatic Products FromFukushima Depend on Where Consumers Reside.Otgonchimeg Tsegmed,Daiki Taoka,Jiang Qi &Atsunori Ariga -2019 -Frontiers in Psychology 10.Japanese consumers are still hesitant to purchase products fromFukushima, although 7 years have passed since theFukushima nuclear disaster and these products are officially considered safe. In this study, we examined whether Japanese consumers have negative implicit attitudes towards agricultural and aquatic products from theFukushima region and whether these attitudes are independent of their explicit attitudes. Japanese students completed an implicit association test and a questionnaire to assess their implicit and explicit attitudes towards products from (...)Fukushima relative to another region. The results of two experiments reliably demonstrated that the public has negative implicit attitudes towardsFukushima products, whereas their explicit attitudes are consistently positive. These observations predominantly held for participants living close toFukushima (Tokyo) as opposed to participants living far away (Hiroshima): Experiment 1 (n = 40). Furthermore, individual differences in aversion to germs contributed to the implicit attitudes; the implicit negative attitudes were attenuated among the participants with a relatively low aversion to germs: Experiment 2 (n = 60). These results suggest that the implicit attitudes associated with the behavioral immune system, which is conceptualized as a suite of psychological mechanisms designed to proactively resist pathogenic threats, may underlie the hesitation to purchase products fromFukushima.

- Japanese Philosophy afterFukushima.John A. Tucker -2017 -Journal of Japanese Philosophy 5:11-42.The imperative that Japanese philosophy faces today, I assert, is the imperative of environmental philosophy. It is an imperative that has decidedly global origins and indisputable global significance. In discussing this imperative, I revive some age-old, perhaps idealistic, and even romantic themes from East Asian Confucian thinking in the hopes that they might become more central motifs of Japanese philosophizing, charting a way forward in the wake ofFukushima, toward a more sustainable future. In the process, I critique admixtures (...) of environmentalism and nationalism, seeking to elevate instead an ecologically sound philosophical perspective that is more globally inclined than narrowly nationalistic.
