Traductor: Billywtr Traductor: Billywtr Traductor: Billywtr Traductor: Billywtr Traductor: Billywtr Prólogo Traductor: BillyWTR Traductor: BillyWTR Traductor: BillyWTR Traductor: BillyWTR Traductor: BillyWTR Prólogo El Esper más fuerte (y el único) No hacer nada más sino entrenar mi Psicoquinesis Creo que todos los humanos han deseado superpoderes o habilidades psíquicas al menos una vez. Como desear poder teletransportarse o volverse invisible. Por ejemplo, supongamos que usted está atrapado en el tráfico y va a llegar tarde, y piensas en cómo podría llegar fácil y rápidamente a su destino si pudiera teletransportarse. Si eres un estudiante masculino saludable, una o dos veces probablemente has tenido ilusiones acerca de volverte invisible y hacer "esto y aquello", *Dufufufu....*. Si eres una señorita, puede que hayas pensado en ser capaz de "encantar" a los hombres para que sean tu pareja, *Uhehehe...*. No sé si las mujeres realmente tienen tales pensamientos. Por supuesto, como estudiante de secundaria, yo también tenía estos pensamientos. Pero para los típicos homosapiens que viven en el siglo 21, ninguno de estos pensamientos sucedió realmente. Y cuando la mayoría de la gente se convierte en estudiantes de secundaria, estos desorientados delirios comienzan a estabilizarse, ya que hay demasiadas otras cosas en las que pensar. Pero mientras charlamos, el interrogante "¿Qué harías si tuvieras superpoderes?" seguirá apareciendo de vez en cuando. Estaba hablando de esto mientras caminaba a casa con mis amigos desde la escuela secundaria, y por eso todavía estaba en mi mente cuando llegué a mi casa. Después de llegar a casa, me senté en el sofá de la sala de estar con unas galletas de arroz y vi un soso programa de variedades. Noté que algunas migas de galletas habían caído al piso, y como todavía tenía superpoderes en mi mente, decidí tratar de recogerlos usando psicoquinesis Traductor: BillyWTR Traductor: BillyWTR No, no pasó nada. Entonces, de repente, fueron recogidos. "... ¿Huh?" Después de un momento me di cuenta de que las migas de galletas de arroz que estaban en el suelo estaban ahora en mis manos. Sólo las miré fijamente. ¿No es esto extraño? Pero parecía como si fuera completamente natural. Cuando miré al suelo, no había migas de galletas de arroz. Las migajas que deberían estar en el suelo estaban ahora en mis manos. Pero no recuerdo haber movido las manos para recogerlas. Después de pensar todo el proceso, todavía me preguntaba... ¿qué significa esto? Comencé a considerar que mi memoria puede estar equivocada; que o bien me inventé el recuerdo de las migajas que caían al suelo, o simplemente no recordaba haberlas recogido. Consideré brevemente que se trataba de demencia juvenil, pero rápidamente la descarté. Decidí que no recordaba haberlas recogido, ya que, en ese momento, no era particularmente consciente de mis acciones, por lo que no se formó ningún recuerdo. No es como si pudieras recordar todo lo que pasa durante el día. No hay forma de que las migajas terminaran en mis manos a través de los poderes psíquicos. Intenté mirar la bolsa de galletas de arroz y hacer que las galletas de arroz salieran por sí solas. Nada. Ni una sola señal de despertar los poderes psíquicos. Solté un suspiro, tiré las migas "psicoquinéticas" y agarré el control remoto de la televisión, "¿¡Qué!?" Tiré el control remoto. Queeeeeeeeeeeee?! ¡No es mi imaginación! ¡Definitivamente no lo es! ¡Un pedazo de galleta de arroz voló a mi mano, aunque mi mano no se movía! ¿Huh? No es mi imaginación, ¿verdad? ¿No soy sólo yo? De ninguna manera, de ninguna manera. ¿Qué? Mi corazón se alborota, *batsukun-batsukun*. Me pregunto si estaba latiendo así de rápido cuando me quedé dormido en la larga sesión de la mañana del director y mi maestro me gritó que me despertara. Gritó en el micrófono, así que hubo mucha realimentación, mi cabeza no respondió inmediatamente cuando me desperté, así que miré a mi alrededor, pero no hubo nada más que silencio doloroso y empecé a sudar frío.... no recordemos eso. Mi cabeza todavía estaba confundida y había mucha frustración. De acuerdo a los patrones en las novelas ligeras, después del evento del despertar hay algún tipo de Traductor: BillyWTR ataque y entonces aparece una hermosa chica y ahora mi nariz está sangrando *Uhuhu!* No, cálmate. No es momento para hemorragias nasales. Piensa en un número primo. Contar números primos. Espera, antes de eso, necesito enfriar mi cabeza. Hagámoslo. Todo estará bien. Entré tambaleándome en la cocina y metí la cabeza bajo el grifo a toda potencia. El agua fría me golpeó la cabeza con un *splash!* y se esparció por toda mi ropa y mis pies, dejándome empapado. Me apresuré y cerré el grifo. Estaba impaciente. La fuerza del agua era 3 veces mayor de lo que esperaba. Pero el agua me refrescó física y mentalmente. Escuché con atención el habitual zumbido de los electrodomésticos, así como la risa despreocupada que venía del espectáculo de variedades que aún se exhibía en la sala de estar. Estaba sintiendo la frialdad del agua que poco a poco manchaba mi ropa y mojaba mi ropa interior, pero me quedé quieto. De alguna manera, me había enfriado. Tanto mi cabeza como mi corazón. Así que podría usar psicoquinesis. Pero el mundo no se está acabando, no me ayudará a mejorar mis notas, ni aumentará mi mesada. El agua que goteaba de las puntas de mi cabello era una pena. Suspiré y usé un trapo para limpiar el suelo. Me quité la ropa y la tiré a la lavadora del baño, y luego volví a la cocina para limpiar los platos. Me alegro de que mis padres no estuvieran en casa. Si vieran una escena tan extraña, estarían preocupados, y yo me habría sentido avergonzado y sólo habría podido encontrar una explicación estúpida. Después de toda la limpieza, apagué el televisor y me dirigí a mi habitación con la bolsa de galletas de arroz. Todavía no estaba satisfecho. Me cambié a una camiseta diferente y a unos vaqueros y luego me senté en una silla mientras comía una galleta de arroz. Ahora podía razonar tranquilamente si tenía superpoderes. Por lo general, cosas como aplastar casas, levantar refrigeradores, etc... son de un nivel que las hace fácilmente entendidas y aceptadas como "superpoderes". Pero estas cosas también son ridículamente extravagantes. Yo, en contraste con eso, moví un pedazo de galleta. Ni siquiera 1g de peso, es más pequeño que una bala de una pistola de aire. La galleta de arroz no se movió mientras que los fragmentos lo hicieron, por lo tanto, probablemente fueron llevados por el viento. Esta es una respuesta mucho más convincente que el desarrollo repentino de habilidades psíquicas. Dicho esto, no recordaba si la ventana de la sala de estar estaba abierta o no. Me levanté y cerré la puerta y la ventana de mi habitación. Cuando golpeé mi cama con mi zapato, el polvo se elevó un poco, y se desvió a la luz del sol entrando por la ventana. No parecía estar fluyendo a ninguna parte. No había viento. Rompí una galleta de arroz en pedazos tan grandes como mi dedo meñique y los puse encima del escritorio. Los miré fijamente, pero no se movieron. Por supuesto. Luego, intenté abanicar las piezas con un abanico. Las piezas se fueron volando normalmente. Bueno, fue como yo pensaba. Fue justo lo que pensaba, pero también fue diferente. Cuando vi la migaja volando en la sala de estar, era más estable y volaba derecho.... maldita sea. Traductor: BillyWTR Respiré profundamente. ¿Debería hacerlo? ¿Debería intentarlo? Será divertido si no pasa nada. No, sólo será vergonzoso. Después de todo, estoy tratando de experimentar algo que normalmente sólo se experimenta en las fantasías. Una vez más rompí una galleta de arroz en pedazos y la puse en mi escritorio. Mantuve los ojos completamente abiertos para no perderme nada, y me aseguré de prestar atención para poder recordar completamente lo que sucedía. Dejé de respirar en el improbable caso de que esto creara viento, y alargué mi mano. Creé en mi mente la imagen de agarrar un pedazo de galleta de arroz. Una pieza flotó sobre mi mano y aterrizó encima de ella. "¿Huh, de verdad?" Se me cayó la migaja. Extendí mi mano. Las piezas salieron volando hacia mi mano. Se me cayeron otra vez. Extendí mi mano. Las migajas volaron en mi mano. Tirar las migas. Extender mi mano. Las migas entran volando. Se me cayeron las migas por última vez. Extendí mi mano. Las migajas volaron directo hacia esta. ¿Qué es esto? Me está asustando. "¿Es esto un sueño?", murmuré mientras me pellizcaba las mejillas, pero esto no era un sueño. Esta era la realidad abrumadora. Definitivamente. No fue hipnotismo o supervelocidad. Lo que estaba experimentando es un destello de algo no científico. *Hah. Hah....* jadeé, ahora increíblemente ansioso. ¿Qué debo hacer ahora? No tenía experiencia o conocimiento para usar como modelo. "Sí, tengo superpoderes ¡Yuju!" No estaba sintiendo nada de eso, sino más bien, me sentía muy preocupado. Porque nada cambió realmente. En las novelas ligeras y el manga, despiertas dramáticamente tus poderes. E incluso si no es dramático, por lo menos tienes una voz misteriosa en tu cabeza pidiendo ayuda o un animal empujándote a algún tipo de contrato. Tiene que haber algún tipo de señal o una pista. Como las palabras CÓMO UTILIZAR, escritas en el cuaderno que un cierto genio de la secundaria recogió. (NTE: Claro que entendí la referencia, jejejeje) Comparado con eso, mira esto. Tirar algunas migas. Flotan y luego aterrizan en la palma de la mano. Tirar, flotar, aterrizar. ¿Y bien? ¿Qué es esto? Quiero decir, seguro, probablemente es increíble, pero ¿qué es? No tengo ni idea de por qué de repente me volví capaz de usar la psicoquinesis o para qué sirve.

    10.2478/ewcp-2020-0011 Japan’s Food Culture – From Dango (Dumplings) to Tsukimi (Moon-Viewing) Burgers OANA-MARIA BÎRLEA Babeș-Bolyai University, Cluj-Napoca, Romania Abstract The purpose of this essay is to present how Japanese eating habits have changed in the context of globalization. We start from the premise that eating is not merely about meeting a basic need, but about creating a relationship with nature. It can be regarded as a ritual practice because it reveals a culture and its people’s beliefs, values and mind-sets. As Geert Hofstede et al. note, life in Japan is highly ritualized and there are a lot of ceremonies (192). Starting from the idea that food consumption is based on rituals too, we intend to explain the relationship between eating habits and lifestyle change in contemporary Japan. Considering that the Japanese diet is based on whole or minimally processed foods, we ask ourselves how Western food habits ended up being adopted and adapted so quickly in the Japanese society. With this purpose in mind, we intend to describe some of the most important festivals and celebrations in Japan, focusing on the relationship between special occasions and food. In other words, we aim to explain the cultural significance of food and eating and to see if and how these habits have changed in time. Keywords: Japan, Japanese culture, gastronomy, globalization, traditional eating, modern eating, food studies, eating habits, change, food-body-self relationship. Oana-Maria Bîrlea 55 Introduction The Japanese are known for their attention to detail, balance and desire to improve (Sarkar 134).

THE PORTRAYAL OF SUICIDE IN POSTMODERN JAPANESE LITERATURE AND POPULAR CULTURE MEDIA Pedro Manço Teixeira Honors Thesis Final Draft, Spring 2014 Thesis Advisor: Kyle Keoni Ikeda INTRODUCTION Within Japanese society, suicide has been a recurring cultural and social concern explored extensively in various literary and artistic forms, and has evolved into a serious societal epidemic by the end of the 20 th century. This project investigates contemporary Japan’s suicide epidemic through an analysis of the portrayal of suicide in post-1970s Japanese literature, films, and popular culture media of manga 1 and anime 2, and in comparison to empirical data on suicide in Japan as presented in peer-reviewed psychology articles. In the analysis of these contemporary works, particular attention was given to their targeted demographic, the profiles of the suicide victims in the stories, the justifications for suicide, and the relevance of suicide to the plot of each work.

The thesis may not be reproduced elsewhere without the permission of the Author. AN EXAMINATION OF KAIZEN DRIFT IN JAPANESE GENBA: IMPLICATIONS FOR BUSINESS IN THE ANGLOSPHERE A THESIS PRESENTED IN PARTIAL FULFILMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF BUSINESS AND ADMINISTRATION AT MASSEY UNIVERSITY, MANAWATU, NEW ZEALAND WAYNE GORDON MACPHERSON 2013 ABSTRACT In attempting to decode the industrial competitive success of Japan, researchers in the Anglosphere have predominantly identified with the highly visible tools and methods of the quality management philosophy of kaizen. However, due to data collection methodologies and significant cross-cultural limitations kaizen appears to have been largely misinterpreted and misunderstood. This ‘gap’ has resulted in literature riddled with deterministic models of mechanical methodologies promoted to pursue business excellence. Further, there has been a plethora of attempts at transplanting Japan-centric tools and techniques, with little – if any – regard for the country’s individual and indigenous social characteristics. To deepen understanding of kaizen a phenomenological study was conducted in middle-to-large sized industrial companies in Japan to investigate Japanese workers’ perspectives of kaizen. Two parallel and complementary philosophies of the pursuit of business excellence were identified. The Japanese thread explored how Japanese workers acknowledge and exercise kaizen; and, the Anglosphere thread examined how workers in the Anglosphere attempt to adopt and practise kaizen. In the Japanese context, society is identified as being highly bounded with little opportunity for individual creativity.
