FROM MANGA LITERATURE TO LIVE-ACTION FILM/TV: MACKENYU'S CROSS-CULTURAL ODYSSEY IN GLOBAL CINEMA

This research examines the career of Japanese-American actor Mackenyu Arata, particularly his roles in live-action adaptations of manga and anime, to understand his influence on cross-cultural narrative integration in cinema. The study focuses on Mackenyu's portrayal of leading and important supporting characters in several high-profile adaptations, including Netflix's One Piece, where he plays Zoro, and others such as Chihayafuru, JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, Rurouni Kenshin, and Fullmetal Alchemist. Employing qualitative analysis, this paper investigates how Mackenyu strategically navigates away from the shadow of his father, legendary actor Sonny Chiba, to forge an independent identity and career. Data was collected through reviews, audience reception studies, and box office performance, and analyzed to assess thematic consistency and cultural impact across different markets. Experts in film adaptation theory, such as Linda Hutcheon, and resources like The Routledge Companion to World Cinema provided theoretical frameworks for analyzing how narratives are adapted for global audiences and the role of actors in these adaptations. The findings reveal that Mackenyu's choices are not merely artistic but are also deliberate efforts to blend Eastern and Western cinematic traditions, enhancing his appeal as a global actor. His roles often reflect a profound engagement with his bicultural heritage, challenging the notion that he is only a "second-generation star." These roles resonate with global audiences and contribute to the ongoing discourse on cultural integration in film. The study concludes that Mackenyu is a key figure in the realm of live-action adaptations, with a unique ability to transcend cultural and cinematic boundaries.

Associations between skating mechanical capabilities and off-ice physical abilities of highly trained teenage ice hockey players.

This study examines the associations between force and velocity characteristics of forward skating and off-ice speed, agility, and power of highly trained teenage ice hockey players. Players attending the Quebec ice hockey federation's off-season evaluation camp were invited to participate in this study. Final sample consists of 107 highly trained teenage ice hockey players (Males: n=38; 13.83±0.38years; Females: n=69: 14.75±0.90years). Individual force-velocity profiles (F-V) were determined during a 44m skating sprint. Off-ice speed, agility, and power were measured using 30m sprint, 5-10-5 agility, and standing long jump. Associations between F-V mechanical capabilities and off-ice indicators were analyzed with correlational analyses and multivariate analysis of covariance (MANCOVA). Results of pooled data indicate that the three off-ice measures had moderate associations with F0 and V0 and large associations with Pmax. Associations with Rfmax, Drf, and Sfv were moderate to small. F0 had stronger associations with off-ice performance in female players while V0 was more important with male players. MANCOVA identified 5-10-5 times as the better predictor for F0 while 30m sprints times better predicted V0. To maximize physical attributes of skating ability, practitioners are encouraged to focus on a general physical preparation for highly trained teenage players. Prioritizing types of exercises that use change of direction or acceleration and linear speed should have distinct effects on F0 and V0 on the ice.

Demystifying Knowledge Work Practices and Performance in the Public Sector

The performance of the public sector, especially its officers, is vital to a nation’s growth in light of the challenges clouding public service. Despite numerous efforts and initiatives, the level of efficiency of Malaysian public sector officers remains feeble, and public dissatisfaction has led to criticism of the administration. Therefore, addressing issues surrounding the performance of public sector officers is imperative to improve public perception. Guided by Drucker’s knowledge work productivity theory, this research aims to discover the relationship between knowledge work practices toward affective commitment (AC) and knowledge worker performance (KWP). This research adopted a cross-sectional design involving a survey of 395 administrative and diplomatic officers who were recruited via stratified random sampling. A variance-based structural equation modeling using Smart PLS 4.0 was conducted to analyze the data. Results show that job crafting (JC) and continuous learning (CL) improve KWP, job-related innovation (JRI) does not impact KWP, and AC exerts a mediating impact on the relationship between knowledge work practices and KWP. This study provides impetus to knowledge productivity and human behavior by integrating JC into Drucker’s theory. Doi: 10.28991/ESJ-2024-08-05-015 Full Text: PDF

Data-driven portfolio management for motion pictures industry: A new data-driven optimization methodology using a large language model as the expert

Portfolio management is one of the unresponded problems of the Motion Pictures Industry (MPI). To design an optimal portfolio for an MPI distributor, it is essential to predict the box office of each project. Moreover, for an accurate box office prediction, it is critical to consider the effect of the celebrities involved in each MPI project, which was impossible with any precedent expert-based method. Additionally, the asymmetric characteristic of MPI data decreases the performance of any predictive algorithm. In this paper, firstly, the fame score of the celebrities is determined using a large language model. Then, to tackle the asymmetric character of MPI’s data, projects are classified. Furthermore, the box office prediction takes place for each class of projects. Finally, using a hybrid multi-attribute decision-making technique, the preferability of each project for the distributor is calculated, and benefiting from a bi-objective optimization model, the optimal portfolio is designed. To validate our approach, we conducted experiments using a dataset of movies released in the United States from 1980 to 2020 and employed the proposed approach to predict box office performance. Our results demonstrate that the proposed methodology significantly improves prediction accuracy and provides a robust framework for effective portfolio management.
