「New movement of Service Science」

「New movement of Service Science」

Mayumi Itakura

     
      In 2005, the field of “service science” is dispatched by IBM headquarters in USA.

    Before this movement, the field of “service engineering” and “service management” are prevailed. So “service science” is easily prevailed soon. That prevailing speed was more than expectation. The researchers that majoring in except service are not exception. But the academe is still trying to define the word “service science”. In this article, writer ignore that movement and define the word “service science” comprehensive notion of service.

       From the beginning, “service science” was born for the reason of rapid increasing of the population that serve on service industry. The tendency has started from 1950’s. And this tendency has been increasing. Japanese population that serve on service industry is expected accounting for 67 percent of the whole finally. And for example, in Germany, China, India and USA have higher percent of that population. But until now, the service industry was served by hunch and experience. And they served service case by case. Therefore the movement that people try to grasp “service science” objectively and the birth of “service science” is naturally in consideration for this background.

      Nowadays, In Japan more researcher tend to research about “service science” than 5 years ago. The paper that have relation to “service” is also increasing. The way to approach “service science” is classified into 1) education, 2) government and academe and 3) scene. From the beginning, the beginning of “service science” is IBM and California University’s research. So “service science” was started from academe education program.

       In these days, academe aim at creating comprehensive way of including conventional way of “service science” for example use statistical science. This is one of the movement that the new organization of approaching “service science” is set up in all over the world for example japan, India, Australia, Germany and USA.

       All over the world, the notion that creating comprehensive way and educating are very important is becoming common sense. And IBM suggest the notion “Holistic approach”. That means taking account of the whole of society not only conventional approach. These notion are becoming new directions of “service science”.

     “Service science” is expected to be developed more and more. And we expect that japan is showed respect for the top of service in terms of service and service science.

Aseeda

Aseeda Recipe

Ingredients: 

1/2 kg rye flour

Water

1/2 cup yeast 
1 tsp salt

   

Method

 Add 1/2kg flour, 1/2 litre of water and yeast into bowl and mix together.  Leave in warm place for 5 hours to rise.

 
 Boil 1 litre of water with salt.  When water is boiling, add aseeda mixture and mix with a wooden spoon.  

  
 Once thickening (add more flour if dough thin*), add 1/2 cup of water and simmer until bubbling.

  Pour into bowl, and let stand until cool and thick.   

  
 Turn upside down and plonk onto plate to serve, covering with a sauce such as tagalia.

*For the Nuba Mountains edition, when making mixture, add much more flour until the mixture is very thick, "until the spoon can stand in it"

Food of Sudan and Choice of recipe   

 Sudan is located in the northeast of Africa. There are a lot of Sudanese cuisine that is influenced by exotic culture.

  
 For example Syria, Turkey, Egypt and Ethiopia brought spice and red pepper to Sudan and influenced Sudanese culture very much.

 And Sudanese cuisine is different by region.

 
 Northern Sudan is classified into desert area. And the northern Sudanese tend to eat the cuisine that include wheat flour.    

 Particularly, northern Sudanese often cook and eat the cuisine called gourrassa (the right chart). Gourrassa is invented native Sudanese and made of wheat.

  In the east part of Sudan, there are border with Ethiopia. So in the east part of Sudan, there are many influence of many direct by Ethiopia. And people tend to eat the cuisine called moukhbaza. Moukhbaza is made of banana paste.

 

  In the west part of Sudan, there are sheep and cow everywhere and a lot of group that have different culture. But every people still eat simply. So people tend to eat dairy product.

In the southern Sudan, there are a lot of rivers and swamp. So in southern Sudan, people can find unique plant and animal. So people in the southern Sudan tend to eat fish cuisine with rice or porridge.

  

 Sudanese cuisine has been enveloping and changing, but almost all of these cuisine are still simple and natural. Sudanese often eat Wheat, Beef, sheep meat, tomatoes, sesame seeds and rice.

    

 And in Sudan, there are a lot of variety of stews. Stews are often eaten with bread or porridge. The aseeda is one of the most popular porridge. Aseeda is often eaten by every region of Sudan. 

 So I thought that research of aseeda would give me great understanding of Sudanese cuisine.

 My recipe is traditional Sudanese aseeda.
