Building effective measures for disaster prevention and response for foreign residents in Miyazaki City
No full textThis article discusses measures for protecting foreign residents during disaster prevention and response in Japan. In particular, it sheds light on Miyazaki City’s (Miyazaki-shi’s) crisis management policy. Currently, approximately 7,000 foreigners reside in Miyazaki Prefecture, of which about 2,000 live in Miyazaki-shi. With these figures on the rise, the city administration urgently needs to establish effective measures to safeguard Miyazaki shi’s foreign residents against threats of large-scale natural disasters such as typhoons, floods, and tsunamis. The article examines efforts by various other communities in Japan to develop such effective measures, including enhanced multi-language assistance, greater sensitivity to minimize cultural misunderstanding, and building more integrated information networks to better ensure emergency alarms are received by foreign residents. The author argues that the Miyazaki-shi administration has much to learn from their examples and lessons.departmental bulletin pape

Finding Miyazaki
No full text"Finding Miyazaki", er en bachelor oppgave skrevet av Ola Malkomsen Aamodt innenfor filmvitenskap i 2022. Oppgaven tar for seg filmografien til den Japanske animasjons regissøren Hayao Miyazaki. Skaperen av det anerkjente animasjons studioet, Studio Ghibli. Hensikten ved oppgaven er å undersøke hva slags innflytelse Miyazakis barndom har hatt på sine filmer.
Oppgaven setter ut for å bevise at Hayao Miyazaki er en tradisjonell auteur som legger stort preg på alle filmene han regisserer, via hans gjentakende elementer og kreative makt over sine produksjoner. Teksten prøver også å finne innflytelsen som Miyazakis barndom har hatt på hans filmer ved å sammenligne gjentagende elementer som kan ha grunnlag fra Miyazakis egne barndoms minner. Målet med «Finding Miyazaki” er dermed å finne Miyazakis barndom i hans filmografi.
Oppgaven tar først for seg en forklaring om hva en auteur er, og dermed bevege seg over til å oppsummere Miyazakis harde men samtidig privilegerte barndom. Både under og etter andre verdens krig. Teksten vill diskutere traumene som Miyazaki fikk I en ung alder etter å ha vitnet bombing av sin hjemby under krigen, og byrden med å få en mor med tuberkulose etter krigen.
Deretter vill oppgaven diskutere diverse gjentagende elementer i Miyazakis filmer som kan ha grunnlag i hans barndom. Slik som skildringen av krig I filmer som “Nausicaa of the valley of the wind» og «Princess Mononoke» eller bruken av karakterer med Tuberkulose som i «My neighbour Totoro» og «The wind rises».
Til slutt vill oppgaven konkludere med hvorfor forfatteren mener at disse elementene er viktige innflytelser på hva slags filmer Hayao Miyazaki skaper og hvordan de hjelper til med å kvalifisere han som en auteur.“Finding Miyazaki”, is a bachelor assignment written by Ola Malkomsen Aamodt within film science studies in 2022. The assignment takes on the filmography of the Japanese animation director Hayao Miyazaki, the founder of the famous animation studio, Studio Ghibli. The purpose of this assignment is to research what kind of influence Miyazaki’s childhood had on his films.
The assignment set out to prove that Hayao Miyazaki is a traditional auteur who has a major impact on the movies he directs, through his recurring elements and creative control over his productions. The text will also try to find the influence that Miyazaki’s childhood has had on his films by comparing recurring elements that could have been directly influenced by his childhood memories. The goal of «Finding Miyazaki» is therefore to find Miyazaki’s childhood in his filmography.
The assignment will first explain what an auteur is, and then move on to summarize Miyazaki’s hard but also privileged upbringing both during and after the second world war. The text will discuss the trauma that Miyazaki experienced by witnessing the bombing of his hometown during the war and discuss the burden of getting a mother with Tuberculises after the war.
Then the assignment will discuss several repeating elements in Miyazaki’s films that might have their origin in his childhood. Like the depiction of war in films like «Nausicaa of the valley of the wind” and “Princess Mononoke” or the use of characters with Tuberculises like in “My neighbour Totoro” and “The wind rises”.
The assignment will conclude with why the author believes that these elements had an important impact on what kind of movies Hayao Miyazaki makes and why they help qualify him as an auteur
The Tao of Miyazaki
No full textThrough this investigation into the anime films of Hayao Miyazaki, the author uses the methodologies of hermeneutics and hermeneutical phenomenology to discover just what it is that audiences around the world find so captivating about these movies. She analyzes the characters, their shadow sides, and their portrayal of archetypes according to Jungian psychology. She also studies the settings, plots, and themes of these films, and evaluates the artwork. Throughout this research into Miyazaki's anime, the author looks for levels of meaning regarding social, psychological, ecological, spiritual, and moral issues, and searches for patterns and themes that express universal essences. The patterns and principles she discovers fit into that Eastern concept of spirituality known as the Tao, a holistic and universal phenomenon that is understood as the source of everything, a philosophy of living, and a "Way" or path to enlightenment (Jung, 1997, Watts, 1993). The author presents nine of Miyazaki's films and compares each with an aspect of the Tao. Through these films, she explores the Tao principles of P'uh or simplicity; Li, our relationship with nature; Wu Wei, sensitivity to circumstances; Te, moral integrity and virtuous action; and the Yin-Yang Polarity or harmony. The author also compares Miyazaki's movie-making methods with these principles, establishing a connection between his films and his techniques, and making the argument that Miyazaki is a Tao master

Late-onset spastic paraplegia: Aberrant SPG11 transcripts generated by a novel splice site donor mutation
No full textWe identified a novel homozygous mutation in the splice site donor (SSD) of intron 30 (c.5866 + 1G > A) in consanguineous Japanese SPG11 siblings showing late-onset spastic paraplegia using the whole-exome sequencing. Phenotypic variability was observed, including age-at-onset, dysarthria and pes cavus. Coding DNA sequencing revealed that the mutation affected the recognition of the constitutive SSD of intron 30, splicing upstream onto a nearby cryptic SSD in exon 30. The use of constitutive splice sites of intron 29 was confirmed by sequencing. The mutant transcripts are mostly subject to degradation by the nonsense-mediated mRNA decay system. SPG11 transcripts, escaping from the nonsense-mediated mRNA decay pathway, would generate a truncated protein (p.Tyr1900Phefs5X) containing the first 1899 amino acids and followed by 4 aberrant amino acids. This study showed a successful clinical application of whole-exome sequencing in spastic paraplegia and demonstrated a further evidence of allelic heterogeneity in SPG11. The confirmation of aberrant transcript by splice site mutation is a prerequisite for a more precise molecular diagnosis
Of anime myths and author cult. Tezuka and Miyazaki consideration through authorship film criticism
No full textIn the world of Japanese anime, few animators’ works have been appreciated by both communities of scholarship and journalism for their valuable and singular forms of authorship. This paper will focus on one of the most prominent figures, namely Hayao Miyazaki (1941-). As one of the main creative leaders of Ghibli Studios, this filmmaker has had a pivotal role, not just in relation to the content created – the key to an industry fed by its merchandising – but also in the promotion of the company’s image and values, both in Japan and overseas. Several para-texts, including cinema criticism, reportages and even social networks have helped to create an almost “mythic figure”. This figure can be considered in some aspects as being quite similar to that reflected within anime Western scholarship as well, and ultimately read as a reminiscence of Author Theories. But the figure of Miyazaki cannot be understood without considering other past figures within the film industry, such as Walt Disney, and Osamu Tezuka (1928-1989), a prominent figure of anime and manga, with whom there is constant comparison. The intention of this paper will be to differentiate the main features of both criticism and anime scholarship traditions, as well as defining their relationship with Author Theories, by using these two figures as a case study
