In the dipole magnetic field observed in the magnetosphere of the earth and other planets, the trapped charged particles exhibit complex behavior and are extremely well confined as a plasma. As a scientific application of the dipole magnetic field, basic research aiming at advanced fusion, as typified by the RT-1 device at the University of Tokyo, has been developed, and with the recent development of anti-matter science, research aiming at the generation of "pair plasma" consisting of an electron and its antiparticle, a positron, has been started. The current status of laboratory research aiming at the generation of antimatter pair plasmas and efforts to overcome various difficulties in its realization will be introduced.

In the statistical analysis of biological data, it has long been a problem that the number of measurements (n) is significantly smaller (p>>n) than the number of dimensions (p) of the data measured at a time. However, with the recent progress of single-cell sequencing technology, the situation has been greatly improved. In this seminar, we will introduce biological data modeling techniques made possible by single-cell sequencing technology.

One of the sustainability issues in Japanese society is the shrinking and aging society. While there is widespread debate about the maintenance of institutions and the scale of the economy, it is rural communities and farming and mountain communities that are experiencing the social changes of rapid aging and population decline firsthand. What is the ideal form of sustainable local society and community in the age of shrinking and aging society? We are addressing this question through fieldwork in Akita Prefecture, which has the highest rate of aging and population decline in Japan. By addressing the new phenomenon of a shrinking and aging society in Japan, we believe that we can gain a perspective on aging societies in Asia and South America, where aging societies will become apparent in the future, and in Africa, where aging societies will gradually begin to spread after 2050. In this lecture, I will introduce regional development in a shrinking and aging society.
