    In the advanced information-based society, sensors are recognized not only as elements of electrical circuits, but also as value adding information devices. Particularly, sensors for non-invasive biomonitoring show rapid progress in their performances. For this sort of sensors, performances for practical applications such as flexibilities or biocompatibilities are strongly requested. In order to achieve non-invasive biomonitoring, many kinds of biodevices are reported so far. In this article, two kinds of biodevices, soft and flexible biosensors with functional polymers for tear glucose monitoring and biological gas sensors with extremely high gas selectivity for breath analysis are introduced. Also, trends in the developments of those biodevices are reported.

    Optics is the oldest field of research togather with Mechanics. Our civilization has been changed drastically at the bigining of 20th century by the establishment of quantum theory, which was stimulated by the finding of the idear of photon in place of electromagnetic wave. The development of Optics and Photonics is reviewed relating with the development of optical science and engineering.

    This paper reports the progress and the current state of the education for the elementary school, the junior high school and the high school in Japan. The Mnistry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science, and Technology (MECSST) revised the Curriculum Guidelines for Science in 1998. As a result, the school in Japan executed the education free of pressure. Academic societies for physics pointed out the problem in the Curriculum Guidelines for Science. The ability of student's reading comprehension was lower than another ability in the results of the academic ability survey of PISA (Programe for International Student Assessment). The MECSST decided to revise the New Curriculum Guidelines for Science because of the changing situations. This paper argues about the new guidelines and recent educational activity in Japan.

    The history and prospects of plasma research in Japan are reviewed from the viewpoint of various research fields such as based on the nuclear fusion, plasma processing and space plasma. The previous and recent researches of plasma in Tokai University are also presented. Furthermore, many fundamentals are and /or applied researches of a sheet plasma which is a special type of strongly magnetized highly ionized slab plasma.
