Abstract
This repository contains supplementary materials, including data-processing pipelines used in the preparation of the article "From Interest to Identity: The Formation of Japan's Arctic Identity in National Diet Discourse, 1949–2025," accepted for publication in Polar Science. The National Diet records are available in 北極-2025-09-30.csv. The analysis is provided in Jupyter notebooks organized by the different time periods covered in the study. Illustrations.ipynb contains the code used to generate the figures presented in the paper. All data resulting from topic modeling are stored in folders corresponding to the respective time periods. Data used to create tables and figures are placed in the corresponding folders. The Kokkai_tool folder contains a GUI application that allows users to collect data from the National Diet API and perform topic modeling using the methodology described in the referenced paper.
This publication proposes a definition and a classification of agile software development approaches and analyses ten software development methods that can be characterized as being "agile" against the defined criterion.

The study shows that agile practices improve both informal and formal communication, but indicates that, in larger development situations involving multiple external stakeholders, a mismatch of adequate communication mechanisms can sometimes even hinder the communication.

The results indicate that software engineering work practices are chosen opportunistically, adapted and configured to provide value under the constrains imposed by the startup context.

It is proved that any global minimizer of the trajectory balance objective can define a policy that samples exactly from the target distribution, and empirically demonstrate the benefits of the trajectories balance objective for GFlowNet convergence, diversity of generated samples, and robustness to long action sequenc...

A machine-learning approach called CheMeleon provides a practical way to develop new drugs or other molecules with much less detailed, expensive experimentation.
