Resonance Detection Strategy for Multi-Parallel Inverter-Based Grid-Connected Renewable Power System Using Cascaded SOGI-FLL
Authors: Cao Wu , Liu Kangli , Kang Haotian , Wang Shunyu , Fan Dongchen , Zhao Jianfeng
Published: September 2019

The increasing use of multi-parallel grid-connected inverters introduces both high-quality and high-capacity power, while it tends to cause a resonance instability problem. A resonance damper can virtualize a resistor at resonant frequency to suppress the instability effectively, but the resonant frequency should be detected primarily. However, the resonant current or voltage is severely distorted and oscillating, which will lead to the resonant frequency extraction being more difficult. To address it, this paper proposes a resonance detection strategy based on the cascaded second-order generalized integrators (SOGI) and the normalized frequency locked loop (FLL). The cascaded structure ensures the accuracy by completely filtering the fundamental component from the detected voltage or current, and the normalization accelerates the frequency detection. The proposed method can be used as a crucial unit of the resonance damping controller. Finally, the performance of the proposed method is verified by the MATLAB-based simulation and Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL)-based emulation results.

Published: September 2019

The research of ground high speed systems has been popular, especially after the announcement of Hyperloop concept, and the analysis of the suspension structure is critical for the design of the system. This paper focuses on the design and analysis of a plate type electrodynamic suspension (EDS) structure for the ground high speed system. The working principle of proposed whole system with functions of levitation, guidance and propulsion is presented, and the researched EDS structure is composed of permanent magnets (or superconducting magnets) and non-ferromagnetic conductive plates. Levitation and guidance are achieved by forces generated through the motion of the magnets along the plates. The plate type EDS structure is analyzed by three-dimensional (3D) finite element method (FEM) in ANSYS Maxwell. Structure parameters that affect the EDS performances are investigated, which include dimensions of magnets and plates, plate material, the relative position between magnets and plates, and arrangement of magnets. The properties of forces are discussed, especially for the levitation force, and the levitation working point is decided based on the analysis. Levitation-drag ratio of the plate type structure is investigated, and it improves with the increasing of vehicle velocity. The analysis results indicate that the plate type EDS structure is feasible for applications in ground high speed systems. The following study will focus on the dynamic research of the EDS system.

Published: September 2019

Sandfly-borne phleboviruses pathogenic to humans, such as Toscana virus (TOSV) and Sandfly Fever Sicilian virus (SFSV), are endemic in the Mediterranean region. In France, several autochthonous cases of TOSV infection have been described, causing either meningitis or encephalitis. The aim of the present study was to investigate the seroprevalence of TOSV and SFSV antibodies in a healthy population from Corsica. In this cross-sectional study, participants were enrolled (i) from a medical staff at the University of Corsica and (ii) from general practitioners of the Corsican Sentinelles Network. The seroprevalence study was based on a virus microneutralization assay. A total of 240 sera were tested. Altogether, 54 sera (22.5%) were confirmed positive for TOSV antibodies, whereas none were positive for SFSV (0/240). The residential district of participants was significantly associated with TOSV seropositivity (p value = 0.005). The rate of the seropositivity against TOSV in our study suggests that the Corsican population is well exposed to the TOSV. These results encourage the implementation of a systematic surveillance system including entomological, microbiological, and medical aspects for the collection of better information on the diseases that are associated with phleboviruses in Corsica and beyond in the regions where these viruses are present.
Establishment of a Parvovirus B19 NS1-Expressing Recombinant Adenoviral Vector for Killing Megakaryocytic Leukemia Cells
Authors: Xu Peng , Wang Xiaomei , Li Yi , Qiu Jianming
Published: September 2019

Adenoviral viral vectors have been widely used for gene-based therapeutics, but commonly used serotype 5 shows poor transduction efficiency into hematopoietic cells. In this study, we aimed to generate a recombinant adenovirus serotype 5 (rAd5) vector that has a high efficiency in gene transfer to megakaryocytic leukemic cells with anticancer potential. We first modified the rAd5 backbone vector with a chimeric fiber gene of Ad5 and Ad11p (rAd5F11p) to increase the gene delivery efficiency. Then, the nonstructural protein NS1 of human parvovirus B19 (B19V), which induces cell cycle arrest at the G2/M phase and apoptosis, was cloned into the adenoviral shuttle vector. As the expression of parvoviral NS1 protein inhibited Ad replication and production, we engineered the cytomegalovirus (CMV) promoter, which governs NS1 expression, with two tetracycline operator elements (TetO2). Transfection of the rAd5F11p proviral vectors in Tet repressor-expressing T-REx-293 cells produced rAd in a large quantity. We further evaluated this chimeric rAd5F11p vector in gene delivery in human leukemic cells, UT7/Epo-S1. Strikingly, the novel rAd5F11p-B19NS1-GFP vector, exhibited a transduction efficiency much higher than the original vector, rAd5-B19NS1-GFP, in UT7/Epo-S1 cells, in particular, when they were transduced at a relatively low multiplicity of infection (100 viral genome copies/cell). After the transduction of rAd5F11p-B19NS1-GFP, over 90% of the UT7/Epo-S1 cells were arrested at the G2/M phase, and approximately 40%–50% of the cells were undergoing apoptosis, suggesting the novel rAd5F11P-B19NS1-GFP vector holds a promise in therapeutic potentials of megakaryocytic leukemia.
Understanding Enterovirus D68-Induced Neurologic Disease: A Basic Science Review

Published: September 2019

In 2014, the United States (US) experienced an unprecedented epidemic of enterovirus D68 (EV-D68)-induced respiratory disease that was temporally associated with the emergence of acute flaccid myelitis (AFM), a paralytic disease occurring predominantly in children, that has a striking resemblance to poliomyelitis. Although a definitive causal link between EV-D68 infection and AFM has not been unequivocally established, rapidly accumulating clinical, immunological, and epidemiological evidence points to EV-D68 as the major causative agent of recent seasonal childhood AFM outbreaks in the US. This review summarizes evidence, gained from in vivo and in vitro models of EV-D68-induced disease, which demonstrates that contemporary EV-D68 strains isolated during and since the 2014 outbreak differ from historical EV-D68 in several factors influencing neurovirulence, including their genomic sequence, their receptor utilization, their ability to infect neurons, and their neuropathogenicity in mice. These findings provide biological plausibility that EV-D68 is a causal agent of AFM and provide important experimental models for studies of pathogenesis and treatment that are likely to be difficult or impossible in humans.
A Comprehensive Modelling Approach to Assess Water Use Efficiencies of Different Irrigation Management Options in Rice Irrigation Districts of Northern Italy

Published: September 2019

European rice production is concentrated in limited areas of a small number of countries. Italy is the largest European producer with over half of the total production grown on an area of 220,000 hectares, predominantly located in northern Italy. The traditional irrigation management (wet seeding and continuous flooding until few weeks before harvest—WFL) requires copious volumes of water. In order to propose effective ‘water-saving’ irrigation alternatives, there is the need to collect site-specific observational data and, at the same time, to develop agro-hydrological models to upscale field/farm experimental data to a spatial scale of interest to support water management decisions and policies. The semi-distributed modelling system developed in this work, composed of three sub-models (agricultural area, groundwater zone, and channel network), allows us to describe water fluxes dynamics in rice areas at the irrigation district scale. Once calibrated for a 1000 ha district located in northern Italy using meteorological, hydrological and land-use data of a recent four-year period (2013–2016), the model was used to provide indications on the effects of different irrigation management options on district irrigation requirements, groundwater levels and irrigation/drainage network efficiency. Four scenarios considering a complete conversion of rice irrigation management over the district were implemented: WFL; DFL—dry seeding and delayed flooding; WDA—alternate wetting and drying; WFL-W—WFL followed by post-harvest winter flooding from 15 November to 15 January. Average results for the period 2013–2016 showed that DFL and WDA would lead to a reduction in summer irrigation needs compared to WFL, but also to a postponement of the peak irrigation month to June, already characterized by a strong water demand from other crops. Finally, summer irrigation consumption for WFL-W would correspond to WFL, suggesting that the considered winter flooding period ended too early to influence summer crop water needs.
Trends in Drought over the Northeast United States
Authors: Krakauer Nir Y. , Lakhankar Tarendra , Hudson Damien
Published: September 2019

The Northeast United States is a generally wet region that has had substantial increases in mean precipitation over the past decades, but also experiences damaging droughts. We evaluated drought frequency, intensity, and duration trends in the region over the period 1901–2015. We used a dataset of Standardized Precipitation Evapotranspiration Index (SPEI), a measure of water balance based on meteorology that is computed at multiple timescales. It was found that the frequency of droughts decreased over this period, but their average intensity and duration did not show consistent changes. There was an increase in mean SPEI, indicating mostly wetter conditions, but also in an increase in SPEI variance, which kept the likelihood of extremely dry conditions from decreasing as much as would be expected from the wetter mean state. The changes in the SPEI mean and variance, as well as the decrease in drought frequency, were most pronounced for longer timescales. These results are consistent with the paradigm of hydrologic intensification under global warming, where both wet and dry extremes may increase in severity alongside changes in mean precipitation.
Effect of Different Copper Levels on Growth and Morpho-Physiological Parameters in Giant Reed (Arundo donax L.) in Semi-Hydroponic Mesocosm Experiment
Authors: Pietrini Fabrizio , Carnevale Monica , Beni Claudio , Zacchini Massimo , Gallucci Francesco , Santangelo Enrico
Published: September 2019

In Mediterranean countries, the use of copper-based fungicides in agriculture is causing a concerning accumulation of copper in the upper layer (0–20 cm) of soils and water bodies. Phytoremediation by energy crops offers the chance to associate the recovering of polluted environments with the production of biomass for bioenergy purposes. The purpose of this work was to evaluate the morpho-physiological response of giant reed (Arundo donax L.), a well-known energy crop, when treated with increasing concentrations of Cu (0, 150, and 300 ppm) in a semi-hydroponic growing system (mesocosm) for one month. The plant morphology (height and base diameter of the stem, number of stems) was not affected by the treatments. The presence of Cu led to the disequilibrium of Fe and Zn foliar concentration and caused an impairment of photosynthetic parameters: at 150 and 300 ppm the chlorophyll content and the ETR were significantly lower than the control. The study demonstrated that, although the presence of Cu may initially affect the plant physiology, the Arundo plants can tolerate up to 300 ppm of Cu without any adverse effect on biomass production, even when grown in semi-hydroponic conditions.

Published: September 2019

A port’s operating capacity and the economic performance of its concessions are intimately related to the quality of its operational conditions. This paper presents an analytical methodology for estimating the movements of a moored vessel based on field measurements and forecast data, specifically including ship dimensions and meteorological and maritime conditions. The methodology was tested and validated in the Outer Port of Punta Langosteira, A Coruña, Spain. It was determined that the significant wave height outside the port, and the ratio of the vessel’s length divided by its beam (L/B), are the variables that most influence movements. Furthermore, heave and surge are the movements with a better value of the coefficient of determination (R2 values of 0.71 and 0.67, respectively), the sway (R2 = 0.30) and roll (R2 = 0.27) being the worst when using the available forecast variables of the Outer Port of Punta Langosteira. Despite their low R2 values, sway and roll models are able to estimate the main trends of these movements. The obtained estimators provide good predictions with assumable error values (root mean square error—RMSE and mean absolute error—MAE), showing their potential application as a predictive tool. Finally, as a consequence, the A Coruña Port Authority has included the results of the methodology in its port management system allowing them to predict moored vessel behavior in the port.
Je suis éveillée : Husserl sur l’attention et l’éveil
Authors: Jacobs Hanne
Published: September 2019

I am Awake : Husserl on Wakefulness and Attention. The article presents Husserl’s account of wakefulness and shows that, according to Husserl, only a phenomenology of attention is capable of elucidating what characterizes the state of wakefulness. That is, the article shows, from a Husserlian point of view, that attention introduces a distinction between theme and background in our experience and that this accounts for why we are never fully awake when we are awake (section 1 and 2), how the sleep within wakefulness is different from genuine sleep (section 3), and, finally, in what way the intentionality that occurs when genuinely asleep, such as dreaming, is radically different from any awareness that occurs while awake.

La información que incorpora este nuevo sitio temprano apoya la propuesta anterior sobre el valor arqueológico que tuvieron los reparos rocosos que poseen ocupaciones efímeras. En algunos casos presentan ocupaciones redundantes y se localizan en relación estratégica con el paisaje serrano. Por su localización con alta visualización del valle de San Pedro, este sitio fue utilizado como paradero durante las travesías por los valles serranos.
The character of the Bódva by the composition of the fishassociations
Authors: Juhász Lajos
Published: September 2019

The Bódva is one of our rivers that flow outside the Hungarian borders and arrive to the country across the frontier.The Bódva is approximately 110 kilometres long, its upper course is mountaneous- like in its springfield in Slovakia and it reaches the Sajó by flowing among the lower hilly region. The river wall is ravine-like in more places, the river itself is devious, and the water basin is rather variable as in the underlay muddy segments and heavily shingly beds can also be found.By its fish fauna and physico-chemical characteristics, the Bódva is such aliving water that-after Borne and others (Nowicki, Thienemann) river zone system- can be regarded as an almost uniform typical Barbel zone.According to our research program (2001-2005) and literature resources we estimated the fish fauna of the Bódva on both the Slovakian and Hungarian course. From some four decades to the wide ecofaunistic examinations of the near past we surveyed the quondam and present fish species of the Bódva River. According to our survey some 40 species compose the recent fish fauna of this river.In the fish fauna of the Bódva those fish species that presently own a tight ecospectrum, sensitive to the changes of the environment thus so called indicator species, can also be found just like the less sensitive, invasive, aggressively reproducing species. By examining the changes in the fishfauna, the complex of those biogen and abiogen processes that affect the river can be indicated well. It can be stated that the fishfauna of the Bódva is rather rich with a countrywide measure also, and maintain a lot of rare, regressive protected and worth while protection species.In the last period of the construction, the racial and quantitive composition of the fishfauna of the upper course of the Bódva has changed significantly. Certain species (in the Hungarian course) has vanished almost totally or at least their number declined not ably. Among the vanishing species there are not only a few substantial, protected species of the fauna (e.g. Barbus pelononnesius petényi, Leucaspius delineatus, Zingel sterber, Barbatula barbatula), but the number of the once mass species also decreased appreciably (e.g. Rhodeus sericeus, Alburnoides bipunctatus, Cobitis elongatoides). With the above mentioned changes the number of other animals also decreased in the course that we examined (e.g. mussels, crabs). We examine the cause of these changes in the pollution of the river and according to that in the decrease of the food source and the negative changes of the physico-chemical parameters of the water.

PERSPECTIVES AND TENDENCIES FOR DEVELOPMENT OF THE INTERNATIONAL TOURISM
Authors: Tanevski Doncho
Published: September 2019

The article examines the most important factors and specifics for the development of international tourism. It is emphasized on the economic side of this phenomenon. International tourism is the most important factor for the economic, spiritual, cultural and political development of a society. Among many foreign and domestic (Ukraine) scientists, who are dealing with the problems of international tourism, we separate the affairs of MA. The emergence of such general tendencies in the whole area of international tourism as an integral part of the world economy is also, by some means, emphasized by the states that compose the tourism industry in that or other country. That is, it is necessary to find properties (inherent) changes in the tourism industry, observing them in the course of the last 2-3 decades. It speaks of the general best characteristic of such development. Tourism appears as a means of an open, accessible travel to human values, cultural heritage, spiritual healing, means of communication, mutual understanding among people, a means of developing the intellect. Tourism, acting as an important segment of foreign trade, which includes import-export service operations, has the specificity of the so-called "invisible export". In the process of organizing tourism, it is important to take into account not only the specifics of the tourist facility, but also the specific cultural needs of tourists from these or those countries. Just as some products differ widely from consumers from different countries, the perception of tourist facilities differs among tourists of different mentality. Thus, world experience clearly shows that the best conditions for the development of the post-industrial economy or economic services are available to countries with a more liberal model of social economic regulation. There are also more specific forms of such influence. The study on the structure of international tourism at sectoral level should begin with an overview of the tourism market itself. The tourism market - is a specific manifestation of the scope of the social and economic relations between producers and consumers of the product itself that unites supply and demand to ensure the process of buying and selling a tourism product. The tourism market has its own specifics.

NON-MILITARY FORMS OF ENDANGERING SECURITY OF MODERN COUNTRY
Authors: Berisha Hatidza
Published: September 2019

Modern challenges and threats to security, according to the criteria of space and resources used for the purpose of their realization, are in principle external and internal, armed and unarmed. Due to intense migration, technological revolution in communications, greater freedom and speed of movement, porosity of boundaries and free transfer of various technologies, security threats today are not only a free sum of acts of endangering. Though they have the same name and the same goal, modern threats, today, carry completely new energy and quality of endangerment. This is best seen on the case of terrorism. Contemporary terrorism and "liberal" terrorism in the seventies have a common name and goal, while their range, destructiveness, brutality, the number of victims and the effects that they produce differ greatly.The paper presents a review of safety, taking into account the different views from which this term is observed. At the same time, relations between the object - values and threats are considered. Possible reference security objects are defined, an approximation is made on two objects, country and individual, and using the state of Critical School of Security, the focus is placed on sources of threats, and forms of security threats. Terrorism has been dealt with thematically and its relationship with other non-military forms of threats to security has been explained.
POLITICAL SYSTEM AS A CONDITION FOR DEVELOPMENT OF STATE AND LAW
Authors: Spaseski Dimitar
Published: September 2019

The state has a central place in the political system. Through its structure and positioning the country has the strength to be a unifier of society against its overall division of the various classes and layers, ethnic, cultural and other groups. The legitimacy of all these processes is given by laws that determine the trajectory of all processes and the conditions under which the processes take place. The state, by adopting the highest legal acts such as: the constitution and the laws, achieves one of its most important functions, which is the management of society. The state directs society to promote development, but also punishes and sanction infringements and mistakes. Depending on who exercises power in the state, i.e. whether it belongs to the people, to an individual or to a powerful group, the political system can be determined. The political system in itself includes the overall state relations, the relations in society and the guidelines for the conduct of the policy of the state. A state in which the government is elected by the people through direct elections certainly fulfills the basic requirement for the development of a stable civil society. The political system is one of the sub-systems of the entire civil society. The political system is specific in that all the activities and relations of which it is composed are directed to the state and its functions. The structure of the political system is composed of political and legal norms, political knowledge, political culture and political structure. These elements confirm the strong relationship between the state, the law and the political system. Developed democratic societies can talk about a developed political system that abounds with political culture and democracy. It is the aspiration of our life. Investing in democratic societies we invest in the future of our children. If we separate the subjects of the political system, we will determine that the people are the basis of the political system. All competencies intertwine around people. Political systems are largely dependent not only on the political processes that take place in them every day, but also on the economic performance and the economic power of the states. Economic stagnation or regression in some countries often threatens democracy and its values. We often forget that we cannot speak of the existence of a functioning and well-organized democratic political system without its strong economic support. In conditions of globalization, it is necessary to pay special attention to international positions as the main factor of the political system, for the simple reason that the functions of the state in this process are increasingly narrowing.
POLICIES AND MANAGEMENT IN THE FIELD OF SECURITY IN KOSOVO
Authors: Brava Feim
Published: September 2019

Writing for security and security policies in Kosovo is a special pleasure. As it is well known, the Republic of Kosovo is one of the newest states in the world since it was separated from the Republic of Serbia in 1999 after the NATO military intervention, internationally recognized as an independent state from 116 countries around the world it should be noted that only 23 European Union countries have been recognized as independent states by 28 as the EU has. Kosovo as a new country with about 1.8 million people has had great achievements in the field of national security. A serious problem is the non-recognition of Kosovo as an independent state from five European countries (Spain, Greece, Slovakia, Cyprus and Romania), problems which continue to this day because of Kosovo's need for support from these countries around the membership in International Security Organizations, where their vote is very important. Another challenge is the consequence of the first problem and not having the opportunity for the new state to join international security organizations (such as Europol, Interpol), mainly due to non-recognition by the five European countries, which mentioned above. A very important element is the control of Kosovo's territory by Kosovo's security forces, which is a constant challenge but with many achievements. It is worth pointing out that Kosovo's security organs are very well formed. The socio-economic situation and the global crisis that has affected especially Balkan countries, Kosovo is still in the process of pursuing its goals for its citizens and high security for foreign visitors.

The Interaction of Crowd, Message Content and Message Frame on Generating Purchase Intentions in Retailing
Authors: Sözer Edin Güçlü
Published: September 2019

This study targets to measure the interactional effect of crowd level in a shopping environment, the content and framing type of the message on purchase intentions of consumers in a retail context. An experimental design was employed with crowd level (no crowd vs crowd), message content (cognitive vs affective) and frame type (positive vs negative) as the manipulated conditions. Results of the study confirm that frame type moderates the two-way interaction between the crowd level and message content. In case of positive frames, level of perceived crowding has differing levels of effect on purchase intentions of consumers depending on the content type exposed. Environments with no crowd lead to higher purchase intentions when consumers are exposed to information intensive messages and crowded environments lead to higher purchase intentions when consumers are exposed to emotion intensive messages. Finally, when consumers are exposed to negatively framed messages in the advertisements, independent from other factors, they generate higher purchase intentions.

Video transmission over WSN is a challenging task because, video data is inherently huge in size and its transmission requires high bandwidth and processing requires more memory and more power. Presently majority of the research work in this area is focused on improving battery life, optimizing network parameters and increasing energy efficiency. The area of best suitable compression scheme for WSN is rarely being explored. This paper focuses on finding out a suitable compression technique for video transmission over WSN. Wireless sensor network (WSN) is an ad-hoc network of sensor nodes, where each node is able to communicate with every other node in the network in single hop or multi-hop manner. It is a low cost, low power and low bandwidth network with each node having limited battery life and limited memory. In order to overcome these challenges, initially image compression is applied on each frame extracted from given video. To find out most suitable compression technique for WSN, the various existing 2D image transforms like DCT, KLT, Slant, Hartley, Hadamard and DST are compared based upon their energy compaction property. The transform that gives more energy compaction is best suitable for WSN. Thus, after selecting a suitable transform for WSN domain, it is applied to obtain compressed video frames. Zigbee protocol based hardware setup is used for serial transmission of RGB video data frames between the nodes. Different parameters are evaluated for received image frames and transmitted image frames. Experimental evaluation shows that zigbee hardware set up improves the reliability and efficiency of video data transmission. This type of WSN set-up can be used for capturing video in any remote and hard-lying (border, mountains, forest) area, where any other types of networks are not available.

The motto of this paper is to design and realize decimation filter using CIC filter. The main drawback of this filter is there is large droop in pass band and very less attenuation in stop band. So, to improve the frequency response of CIC filter we go for two stage realization of CIC filter. At the initial stage we use CIC filter and in the last stage we use Kaiser Window and improve the characteristics of filter design. When we design a filter using multistage methodology the order of the filter as well as power also decreases. Tools used are MATLAB Simulink Model and Xilinx system generator and realization is done on Virtex V-XC5VLX110T-3ff136. In this paper the proposed two stage realization is compared with respect to two stages Kaiser window realization in the terms of number of LUT’s required, slices as well as power dissipation and improvements in frequency response with respect to conventional CIC filter are compared.

Amid numerous sources of energy, solar energy possesses calibre to combat energy requisite for various sectors. A lot of significant research work has been carried out on solar energy to maximize its applications and efficiency of available designs. Among many applications, cooking is the one of the dominant application of solar energy. Other than basic design of box type solar cooker, solar collectors are employed in solar cooking system for the feasibility of more effective cooking. This manuscript inhibits various cooking system based on solar collectors like FPC(flat plate collector),ETC (evacuated tube collector),PDC(parabolic dish collector), PTC(parabolic trough collector), fresnel lens based collector and scheffler reflector type collector. Solar collectors based cooker designs render compatibility of cooking regarding cooking load, cost, cooking type, ease of operation and cooking time.

Since ancient times, Korea and China have maintained a friendly and good-neighbourly relationship with each other. With the continuous development and deepening of the relationship between the two countries, Chinese characters have also been introduced into the Korean cultural system with the borrowing of Chinese characters and Chinese characters. Korea and China had close contacts and exchanges in politics, economy and culture before Qin and Han Dynasties. Especially in terms of culture, China has brought a lot of influence to Korea. One of the most significant influences is the Chinese character words. Language and social change, social development, the emergence of new things, and the deepening of human self-knowledge are all reflected in vocabulary, the most sensitive factor of language. In the 21st century, Chinese word-formation has changed, and a large number of new words similar to derivative word-formation have appeared. “X-Shi” is a new type of affix which is similar to affix, but not so typical. It has the additional meaning of “human” in semantics. This paper studies the semantic comparison of Quasi-affix “X-Shi” (“X사”), which is commonly used in Korean and Chinese, especially focusing on its semantic characteristics and clarifying the semantic differences. Through the synchronic analysis of the semantic and pragmatic features, this paper analyses the causes of Quasi-affix of “X-Shi”.

A Study on the Generation and Propagation Path of 傀儡子from the viewpoint of nomadic culture through Comitatus

Published: September 2019

This paper wanted to look at the background and propagation path of the wandering performance group, referred to as kui-lei-zi傀儡子(A performing group that travels across the region, performing puppet shows and acrobats.). The wandering entertainer(kui-lei-zi傀儡子) has often been described starting from India and the gradual shift of the group to the east. In this paper, we looked at the three characteristics of Comitatus, the system of the Huns' group, primarily be based on historical references to central Eurasia, in order to look at the trajectory of the middle ground to reach China, depending on these existing theories. We looked at what was regarded as the characteristic of the Comitatus of the Huns and the Huns, namely, the device for performing the task of protecting both life and death with external hostile forces, i.e. the association of the Comitatus was discussed over three items, including the ImHyop Group(a group of brave and strong men united in their determination to give their lives for the leader by drinking the blood of the beast and vowing to die together the same day). The task of protecting the present world and the afterlife states is maximized in the same post as Bangsangsi, and the three items can each have a consistent meaning, given that the Impeachment group formed around one martial art is a mechanism for establishing the relationship between the master and warrior in the real world, and that the Sunjang custom(A burial system in which a person belonging to the ruling class of a group is forced or voluntarily buried together after that person when he or she dies) is a mechanism for performing the same role as the clinician group of life in the afterlife. Against this backdrop, a wandering group performing puppet shows, acrobats, etc. who would have been born cannot specify its path of propagation, but it is assumed that it was spread to China and Korea, respectively, through China, and gradually to Central Eurasia along the path of medicine, exchange and Buddhism. Among these arguments, it is at the center of the discussion that it is thought that the Xiongnu group had the most influence on the propagation path. In particular, since the discussion of the relationship between 'the wandering entertainer(kui-lei-zi傀儡子) and the comitatus discussed in this paper was based mainly on the contextual reasoning, there is still work to prove the original logic by securing more objective and concrete details.
