Okamoto Keitoku “The Idea of a Horizontal Axis” and Criticism of “Centralization of Power”
Get PDFIn this paper, I argue that “The Idea of a Horizontal Axis” represents a criticism of the process of Japanese modernization, and of the radical centralization of power. “The Idea of a Horizontal Axis” was written by Okamoto Keitoku, an Okinawan thinker, in 1970. From the Meiji Restoration to the recent period of rapid economic growth, mainstream thought in Japan considered modernization to be good. In this way of thinking, the community, which refers here to feudal relationships, can be made obsolete and Okinawa, which was regarded as one of the most backward regions in Japan, is allowed to assimilate into mainland Japan. In “the Idea of a Horizontal Axis”, Okamoto argues both for the importance of the community and of the people’s war experiences in Okinawa. In March 1945, during the battle of Okinawa, a case of “compulsory group suicide” occurred on okashiki Island, near mainland Okinawa. Many writers argued that the suicide was caused by the strong community in Okinawa, but Okamoto contends that, even though the strong community might have caused it, it was just an extreme case. A strong community is usually a place of co-existence for community members. He argues that the belief in the modernization is connected to the notion of centralization; therefore, it denies local traditions and community in modern Japan. It also means that the vertical (and hierarchical) relations among regions are centered on the capital. He argues instead for horizontal relations among communities, and this affords a perspective through which to criticize the history of the centralization of power in modern Japan in a radical way.departmental bulletin pape

Development of Parallelized Solver for Task Scheduling Problems with Communication Delays : Improvements of Search Effectiveness using Optimal Scheduling of Sub-task-graphs
Get PDFIn order to implement high performance parallel processing, task scheduling is a very important key technology. However, task scheduling problems belong to very difficult optimizing problem and are not be able to solve in practical time. So, it is required to detect sub task graphs, which can be partially optimized independently, as soon as possible. Each sub task graph can be recognized as a macro task, therefore, total number of tasks will be reduced, and this results in reducing the time to solve scheduling problems. In this paper, we propose a new sub task graph detection mechanism which can find more sub task graphs. We show that some scheduling problems, which were impossible to solve by the conventional methods, can be solved.departmental bulletin pape

Is Romance Required to Get Married? : Quantitative Analyses of 2015 National Survey on Family Formation and Career Formation in Japan
Get PDFこの論文では、「結婚まえの恋愛経験が、結婚のための前提条件であるのか」というリサーチ・クエスチョンを検討した。これまで、恋愛経験が量的に測定されることが、ほとんどなかった。そこで、「2015年家族形成とキャリア形成についての全国調査」を実施し、全国の20～69 歳の個人1万2007人から、初婚までの恋人人数、デート人数、キス人数、性関係人数をデータ収集した。結婚経験の有無を従属変数とし、ロジスティック回帰分析をおこなった。その結果、（1）恋愛人数が1人以上いることの効果を調べたら、男女とも恋人やキスが1人以上いると、結婚のチャンスがあがった。（2）恋愛人数の量の効果を調べたら、男性はデート人数とキス人数が、女性は恋人人数とキス人数がふえるほど、結婚のチャンスがあがった。したがって、結婚まえの恋愛経験のうちとくに恋人とキスが、結婚のための前提条件とはいえないまでも、促進要因となっていることがわかった。departmental bulletin pape
