  • A multifaceted look at the differences between taxable income calculations and corporate accounting
  • Professor Hiroaki Kobayashi
  • Today, as the economic activities of companies become more sophisticated and complex, accounting procedures are also becoming more diverse. Taxable income calculations based on tax laws are based on the figures in financial statements approved at the general shareholders' meeting, but the current situation is that the basic thinking behind traditional taxable income calculations is becoming increasingly divergent in response to the globalization of accounting standards.
    Professor Kobayashi was awarded the 32nd Tax Museum Award (Book Category) for his systematic clarification of the differences between taxable income calculation and corporate accounting in his book, "The Intersections and Divergences between Taxable Income Calculation and Corporate Accounting."

  • Clarification of the photochemical reaction of ketoprofen that causes drug-induced photosensitivity
  • Assistant Professor Wataru Kashihara
  • Ketoprofen, a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug found in patches and oral medications, is known to sometimes cause a side effect called drug-induced photosensitivity. In this study, Assistant Professor Kashihara combined experiments using a spectroscopic technique called transient absorption spectroscopy with theoretical analysis using molecular dynamics calculations to reveal a previously unknown detailed mechanism that leads to photosensitivity, for which he received the Encouragement Award from the Japanese Society for Photomedicine and Photobiology.

  • What does "cultural" mean in Article 25 of the Constitution?
    Thinking about "a society with wonderful chance encounters"
  • Associate Professor Miho Nakamura
  • In considering the nature of "cultural rights" that recognize people's involvement in culture as a human right, he focused on the word "cultural" in Article 25, Paragraph 1 of the Japanese Constitution, which states, "All people shall have the right to maintain the minimum standards of wholesome and cultured living." He compiled a book on cultural rights that takes a diverse analytical approach, not only from a legal perspective but also from historical and literary perspectives, entitled "The Right to a Cultural Life: The Potential of Article 25 of the Constitution from the Perspective of Cultural Policy Research," for which he received the first "Academic Society Encouragement Award" from the Japan Association for Cultural Policy Research.

  • COSMOS, an online platform that supports Japanese language education, saves Japanese language refugee children
  • Associate Professor Yusuke Tanaka
  • Associate Professor Yusuke Tanaka and others have developed and released the online platform "COSMOS" with databases and applications for Japanese language education for JSL (Japanese as a Second Language) children who are not native speakers of Japanese, and have made it available free of charge. In recognition of providing an environment where anyone can learn from anywhere and at any time, the company was awarded the "SDGs Iwasa Award" (Iwasa Education and Culture Foundation), which recognizes and supports organizations and individuals who have made outstanding contributions in fields such as medicine, education, welfare, and the environment.

  • Economic and quantitative analysis of the effects of carbon pricing
    - Proposing a balance between reducing carbon dioxide emissions and economic growth -
  • Professor Shigeru Matsumoto
  • Professor Shigeru Matsumoto and his research group, who conducted a detailed analysis of the impact of carbon pricing policies on household finances using microdata on consumption, were awarded the Achievement Award at the Ichimura Prize for Global Environmental Studies. The group was highly praised for their economic and quantitative analysis of the effectiveness and effects of carbon pricing policies, which have been noted as having been slower to take hold in Japanese society than in Western countries, and for proposing a method to achieve emissions reductions without significantly slowing down economic activity.

  • Successfully generated space plasma shock waves in a laboratory.
    The results were published in a US scientific journal.
  • Professor Ryo Yamazaki
  • Cosmic rays are thought to be created by space plasma shock waves present in supernova remnants, etc. Until now, the only experimental research method for clarifying their mechanism was satellite observation, but a joint research group of eight universities led by Professor Ryo Yamazaki of Aoyama Gakuin University has succeeded in generating space plasma shock waves in a laboratory through experiments using a large laser, and published the results in a paper in the American scientific journal "Physical Review E."

  • Examining the EU's structural problems through the refugee issue
    ~A bold attempt to reexamine the nature of international organizations~
  • Associate Professor Ryuya Daidouji
  • This paper provides a detailed analysis of the EU's refugee response, which is often seen as a model, and sharply criticizes the limitations of EU constitutionalism. Associate Professor Daidouji's paper, which boldly raised the issue, was selected for the EU Research Encouragement Award given by the Japan Association for EU Studies. Looking at EU immigration control, there is a structural situation in which human rights violations such as "how to prevent people from entering the country" and "how to prevent people from applying for refugee status" are left unattended. Taking these issues into account, we aim to reweave the EU's image and establish a new EU image in Japan.

  • Pursuing development methods for high-temperature superconducting magnets
    - Aiming to realize compact and versatile NMR -
  • Assistant Professor Takanori Motoki
  • Assistant Professor Takanori Motoki's research has been selected for NEDO's "Mito Challenge 2050" as the establishment of bulk magnet growth technology that realizes high-temperature superconductivity will lead to the miniaturization and power saving of NMR (nuclear magnetic resonance) devices used in a wide range of fields. NMR devices used for structural analysis of organic compounds etc. need to be cooled to extremely low temperatures, but the high-temperature superconducting magnet growth technology developed by Assistant Professor Motoki is expected to lead to operation in a wider temperature range than before, realizing the development of easier-to-use devices.

  • Discovering the mathematical formula that describes the movement of chromosomes within cells
    ~Unraveling the mysteries of life from a physical perspective~
  • Professor Takahiro Sakaue
  • A collaborative research project involving Professor Takahiro Sakaue, who discovered that the movement of chromosomes within living cells can be expressed in a physically simple mathematical formula based on Brownian motion, has been published in the prestigious scientific journal "Physical Review Letters." The biological field of intracellular movement is viewed from a physical perspective based on the concept of Brownian motion, and the movement of chromosomes (chromatin) moving within cells is expressed in a simple mathematical formula. It is expected that this will lead to elucidation of the mechanisms of heredity in the future.
