An Introduction of Takashi Nagai's Kagayaku Minato [A Bright Port] from the Original Manuscript (Part 2)
No full textFollowing the previous paper, this article gives a partial introduction and a comment to Dr. Paul Takashi Nagai's unpublished work titled Kagayaku Minato. Though this work lacks its former part, it still has the original meanings and values, showing the living and social conditions of the people of the Urakami Catholic Church in those days. The author also points out some parallels in the contents to Nagai's other works.departmental bulletin pape
Sustainable Tokyo 2040 - Minato Ward : Japan's Green Window to the World
No full textIn order to improve the life quality of its inhabitants, show the world Japan's commitment to protect the environment, and position itself as a game changer in the global energy sector, what would be a better place where to start from than Minato City, in order to make it Japan’s Green Window to the World. Four different Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) are used to quantify the accomplishment of the objective of making Minato sustainable by 2040. Based on a qualitative system model for Minato, quantitative models were developed using both HOMER Pro® and the Long-range Energy Alternatives Planning System (LEAP). For these models, three different scenarios are used: one representing a business as usual scenario, another showing what the future would look like if all the existing policies and goals were to be met, and the last one depicting what necessary improvements and investments should be made to achieve a sustainable Minato by 2040. A technical and economic analysis of the results of the models was made, resulting in what is thought to be the best proposal for Minato. The proposal consists in the installation of 3 195 MW of onshore wind power and 456 MW of solar PV, both to be constructed in three phases. From the 16 364,2 MW of expected necessary installed capacity in Minato for 2040, 61,1% will come from the grid, 19,5% from the wind turbines, 2,8% from solar PV, 11,1% from stored energy in batteries, 5,4% from Hydrogen, and the remaining 0,1% from the already existing incineration plant. The overall proposition has a NPV of ¥ 2,64 Trillion, and decreases emissions in Minato to 1,0 million tonnes of CO2. The final system has an efficiency of 70,5% and a renewable energy fraction of 59,1%. Even though the KPIs goals are not met with this proposal, a large part of the road is covered towards a sustainable city. The renewable energy fraction increases from 9,5% to 59,1%, the total primary energy supply (per year perperson) and the CO2 emissions are reduced by 66% and 86% respectively, and the crowdedness factor is brought down from 173% to 150%, all with regards to base year 2015. If compared to the goals set by the Japanese Government for 2030, (22-24% renewables in primary energy matrix, 26% emissions reduction and 24% self-sufficiency ratio) it can be seen that the values obtained for the Nokko scenario would largely exceed them.This report was written as part of the KTH master's course Energy Management (MJ2410). While it was reviewed by the course instructors and examiner for grading, the results are not considered peer-reviewed. QC 20181024</p
PENERAPAN KAWAII BUNKA PADA FIGUR VTUBER MINATO AQUA DALAM BUDAYA POPULER JEPANG
No full textJepang merupakan negara yang sukses dalam mengembangkan ilmu pengetahuan
dan teknologinya. Hal tersebut yang kemudian mendorong lahirnya budaya baru
dari kemajuan teknologi itu sendiri. Jepang juga merupakan negara yang memiliki
berbagai macam budaya salah satunya adalah budaya modernya. Budaya modern
Jepang secara umum dikenal sebagai “Japanese Pop Culture” yang kemudian
melahirkan budaya kawaii atau kawaii bunka. Kawaii bunka merupakan budaya
estetika Jepang yang lahir seiring berkembangnya budaya populer di Jepang.
Kawaii bunka dapat ditemukan pada produk budaya populer seperti anime, manga,
pop music, fashion dan karakter di Jepang.
Dalam budaya populer Jepang masyarakat global dapat merasakan berbagai
fenomena terbaru. Salah satunya fenomena Virtual YouTuber atau VTuber.
Kemudian pada makalah ini penerapan kawaii bunka pada fenomena VTuber akan
dibahas. Pada makalah ini dengan menggunakan metode deskriptif, penulis
mendeskripsikan kebenaran bahwa fenomena VTuber merupakan bagian dari
kawaii bunka. Kemudian penulis melakukan studi kasus terhadap salah satu VTuber
terpopuler dari Jepang yaitu Minato Aqua. Hal tersebut ditujukan untuk
menjabarkan contoh penerapan unsur kawaii bunka pada figur VTuber.
Ditemukan bahwa VTuber merupakan bagian dari kawaii bunka. Hal ini
dikarenakan VTuber sendiri diciptakan mengusung ide dan konsep dari fenomena
sebelumnya yang juga merupakan bagian dari kawaii bunka. VTuber juga
diciptakan dengan estetika yang berkaitan dengan kawaii bunka. Unsur kawaii
bunka pada sosok figur VTuber Minato Aqua dapat ditemukan dalam aspek fisik
meliputi penampilan dan aspek non fisik meliputi suara, ekspresi wajah, dan
kepribadian.

Japan is a country that has a variety of cultures, one of
which is its modern culture known as "Japanese Pop Culture" which then gave birth to kawaii culture or kawaii bunka. Kawaii bunka is a Japanese aesthetic culture that was born with the development of popular culture in Japan. Kawaii bunka can be found in popular culture products such as anime, manga, pop music, fashion and characters in Japan. In Japanese popular culture, the global community can experience the latest phenomena. One of them is the VTuber phenomenon. In this study, the application of kawaii bunkato the VTuber phenomenon will be discussed. Using a descriptive method, the author describes the truth that the VTuber phenomenon is part of kawaii bunka. Then the author conducted a case study of one of the most popular VTuber from Japan, Minato Aqua. It is
intended to describe examples of the application of kawaii bunkaelements in VTuber figures. This study was conducted as a form of contribution to the development of cultural science, especially Japanese popular culture. It was found that VTuber is a part of kawaii bunka. The kawaii bunka element in the figure of VTuber Minato Aqua can be found in physical aspects including appearance and non-physical aspects including voice, facial expressions, and personality

Scegliere i Temi di Ricerca è un Campo Minato
No full textLa conduzione di studi o ricerche, in qualsiasi Paese, richiede inevitabilmente un progetto preliminare e una successiva relazione. Che si tratti di un documento di fine corso, di una tesi, di una dissertazione, di un rapporto di post-dottorato o di una relazione di ricerca, l'approvazione dipenderà sempre dalla valutazione di terzi, spesso non qualificati. Questo è un campo minato. Scegliere determinati temi o focus - ed evitarne altri - può spesso significare attraversare una linea sottile tra successo e fallimento. Molti argomenti sono sensibili alle politiche interne ed estere. Altri argomenti sono trattati come dogmi, tabù o addirittura come aree di sicurezza e interesse nazionale. Pensate a qualsiasi Paese, in qualsiasi parte del mondo. La neo-inquisizione, sacramentata da norme abusive e assurde, per promuovere una stagione di caccia sacrificale alle streghe post-moderne, non cambia la logica dei fatti né ci allontana dalle sue conseguenze darwiniane. È un modus operandi onnipresente, in tutte le "culture".</p

AVO inversion for a non-welded interface: Estimating compliances of a fluid-filled fracture
No full textThough well known for layer boundaries, the use of amplitude-versus-offset (AVO) variations for non-welded boundaries like fractures is not yet investigated. Depending on the seismic wavelength used, fractures can be regarded as thin, compliant zones in rocks, in different scales. We explore the potential of multiangle AVO inversion of P-P and P-S reflections from a fracture to estimate fracture properties.We conduct laboratory experiments to measure reflection responses of dry and wet fractures. The observed P-P reflections of the wet fracture and the fracture aperture are very well predicted by the non-welded interface model.We invert the angle-dependent P-P reflectivity of the fracture to estimate both normal and tangential fracture compliances. The estimated value of the normal compliance is accurate, and it is also possible to obtain the value of the non-zero tangential compliance.We find that supplementing the information of converted P-S reflections in theAVOinversion greatly improves the estimate of the tangential compliance. The calculated compliance ratio clearly shows the existence of fluid in the fracture. This finding can be crucial for new applications in a wide range of scale—from earthquake seismology, deep and shallow seismic exploration, to non-destructive material testing
