This paper describes online Chinese language learning practice in cooperation with other technical colleges and overseas partner universities from August 24 to September 30, 2020. In this initiative, students watched the videos for class preparation in advance and learned the contents of the videos practically online from the students of the Applied Chinese Department of Wenzao Ursuline University of Languages (WZU) in Taiwan. Since 2015, National Institute of Technology, Ube College has accepted students from the Department of Chinese Language and Literature of National United University (NUU) in Taiwan as Chinese language trainees every year. The trainees provide support to the teachers in charge of Chinese classes and conduct the classes themselves. However, in 2020, due to the pandemic caused by the coronavirus pandemic, we will no longer be able to accept Taiwanese interns. So, instead, we had students from WZU conduct one-on-one Chinese classes online. As a result of the 26 classes given by WZU of Foreign Studies students for about one month, the Japanese students' ability to understand Chinese improved compared to previous years, especially in pronunciation. An evaluation questionnaire shows that the classes were significant for both students. This paper will explain the process leading up to the implementation of the online class, class implementation, and the innovations in the class. Finally, this paper will discuss the points for reflection and future issues.

The purpose of this study is to clarify the characteristics of social welfare corporations by business type from disclosed financial information. In addition, it is to clarify the business conditions of social welfare corporations and to examine issues. As a result of the research, four characteristics were detected. (1) The childcare business is labor-intensive, while the nursing care and elderly welfare businesses are capital-intensive. (2) As the number of businesses increases, the scale of the business increases, but the management efficiency does not change. (3) When there are only one or two businesses, management efficiency improves as the scale of the business increases. (4) Small businesses face a severe business environment in which they are unable to cover their necessary expenses.

Memory is a popular card game playing with two or more players. Each player alternately faces up two cards. The player could get the cards if their numbers are match. Although Memory has been frequently playing in the world for a long time, the optimal strategy of the game has not been developed so far. In this study, I have developed the optimal strategy for 2-player Memory. Expected values of wining rate for 362,931 cases were calculated using memoized recursion. As a result of the calculation, the optimal strategy for 2-player Memory have been obtained successfully
