Turkish policy towards the Syrian civil war, as operationalized in relation to the implementation of no-fly zones, safe zones, or buffer zones, has been the subject of much debate among scholars. As the number of foreign states acting in Syria has steadily increased since the onset of the crisis, Turkish policies have similarly shifted. In order to make sense of Turkey’s actions and reactions in the first five years of the Syrian civil war, my study attempted to draw lessons from quantitative methods such as text mining from the Anadolu Agency, a Turkish state-owned press. We use these methodologies in support of content analysis and qualitative analysis that hindsight allows.

How are the various forms within the animal kingdom generated? In this lecture, I will present recent findings from our studies using insects as models and discuss the origin and evolution of neural circuits controlling locomotion.

Precision medicine, which is moving away from conventional one-size-fits-all treatment to provide optimal treatment for each patient and proactively prevent disease, is advancing around the world. This is driven by the recent rapid development of technologies for acquiring data on an individual's genome and other omics, as well as the mathematical and information sciences for analyzing such data. As an example, we will introduce the daily battle between cancer and immunity and research to overcome and prevent cancer. Along with this, I would like to explain their mechanisms and together with clinical research, consider the aspects whereby the elucidation of the science is greatly promoting medical science research.
