Abstract: A cognitive function evaluation device includes: an obtainment unit that obtains utterance data indicating a voice of an evaluatee uttering a sentence as instructed; a calculation unit that calculates, from the utterance data obtained by the obtainment unit, a feature based on the utterance data; an evaluation unit that compares the feature calculated by the calculation unit to reference data indicating a relationship between voice data indicating a voice of a person and a cognitive function of the person to evaluate the cognitive function of the evaluatee; and an output unit that outputs the sentence to be uttered by the evaluatee and outputs a result of evaluation by the evaluation unit.

Abstract: Provided is a vinylidene fluoride-based resin film resistant to pinhole generation caused by dispersion insufficiency and superior in thermal stability during molding processing, even if it contains a pigment in a large amount, and a solar cell back sheet and a solar cell module comprising the same. A vinylidene fluoride-based resin film is prepared by blending a vinylidene fluoride resin, a methacrylate ester resin, a titanium oxide surface-treated with alumina, silica, and zirconia, and a polyethylene glycol fatty acid ester and/or the derivative thereof at a certain ratio. Used then was a surface-treated titanium oxide with alumina, silica, and zirconia, having a total deposited amount of alumina, silica, and zirconia of 5 to 15 mass % and a deposited amount of zirconia of 0.5 mass % or more and less than 2.0 mass %.
