This first volume of AJE comes out of the ‘Sounding the Earth: Music, Language and Acoustic Ecology’ conference held in Launceston, Tasmania, in 2010. While the essays in this volume all touch, in some way, the ideas of music, language, and acoustic ecology, the ‘place’ of human-made music occupies the work of Bruce Watson, and John Parham. Language, specifically the language of Nature Writing, is historicised in Noelene Kelly’s work; the non-human music and language of trees (Barbara Holloway) and birds (Hollis Taylor) shift the focus to acts of listening, seeing, and representation. Isabelle Delmotte explores the sounds of silence in filmic media, and provides examples and an overview of what is meant by ‘acoustic ecology’.
The Man and the Woman and the Edison Phonograph: Race, History and Technology through Song
Authors: Watson Bruce
Published: August 2023

This is the story behind a photo of Fanny Cochrane Smith singing traditional Tasmanian songs, and being recorded by Horace Watson, in 1903. Fanny Cochrane was the first Aboriginal child born on Flinders Island in 1834, in the settlement established for Tasmania’s Aboriginal people. She claimed to be the last Tasmanian. Tasmania’s and Australia’s history reverberate through this image: cultural contact, genocide and reconciliation, tradition and modernity. The image is of the act of folklore collection at its most poignant. The article explores the life of two individuals and how they came together to create an invaluable record of Tasmanian Aboriginal culture. The reverberations continue to this day as their descendents’ lives are changed through their connection to this story and their continuation of its themes.For sound files, go to Supplementary Files in tool bar, right
‘Singing Up’ the Silences: Australian nature writing as Disruption and Invocation.
Authors: Kelly Noelene J
Published: August 2023

There is a strong, though not uncontested view, that a tradition of ‘place’ or ‘nature’ writing has, until relatively recently, been largely absent in Australia. This essay examines the veracity of this claim, and suggests reasons for this alleged gap or ‘silence’ in our literature. It also considers the distinctive characteristics of Australian place writing as it has emerged over more recent decades and the ways in which this writing disrupts early representations of the continent as ‘empty’, particularly of Indigenous presence, but also of sound, of speech, of agency. This essay also suggests the potential for Australian nature writing to function contrapuntally, as both a form of response to this lively and expressive land, and as a means by which this same land may be invoked or ‘sung’ into the communicative space.
Anecdote and anthropomorphism: Writing the Australian pied butcherbird
Authors: Taylor Hollis
Published: August 2023

This paper surveys textual references to the Australian pied butcherbird (Cracticus nigrogularis). We begin with my initial encounter with this songbird (in re-worked excerpts from the book Post Impressions), and then expand our review to aboriginal stories, historic ornithological reports and field guides, informal stories, archival Australian periodicals, children’s literature, literary references, and composers’ texts. Many of these reveal the tension between the superlative pied butcherbird vocal abilities and their ferocious hunting prowess. The paper shuns neither anecdote nor anthropomorphism as it attempts a new mode of interspecies narrative. I argue that anecdotes can contribute to an understanding of this understudied songbird. In inventorying pied butcherbird textual references, we find that our stories about them are ultimately stories about us as well—anthropomorphism seems to be an innate human proclivity. Reflecting on the lives of animals is of psychological, intellectual, and metaphysical significance for humans.

More Real than Real: The Weird Localism of Ralph Eugene Meatyard and Wendell Berry
Authors: Wallis Bryan
Published: August 2023

This essay examines the work of Wendell Berry (academic, poet, and farmer, who is well known for his focus on the local) and the ucanny photography of Ralph Eugene Meatyard. This essay argues that rather than simply a rehashing of the well-worn familar, or an encounter with alterity, both Berry's and Meatyard's work call neat distinctions between the familar and the strange into question. While residence tends to foster habitual perception and naturalising familiarity, Berry's and Meatyard's work suggests that increased intimacy unsettles habitual perception and reveals surprising and often monsterous aspects of familair beings and places. Their work attempts to affect perceptual 'quakes' that jars routinised senses of place and leads to views of place that surprise and even horrify. This essay is grounded in Berry's and Meatyard's collaborative work, The Unforeseen Wilderness: Kentucky's Red River Gorge [1971] and Berry's essay 'The Rise'. 'More Real than Real' draws on the theoretical insights of Timothy Morton (specifically his concept of the 'strange stranger') along with Jean Luc Marion's theory of saturated phenomenon and his writings on nature of the idol.
The Ecopoetics of Charles Harpur
Authors: O'Loughlin Cassandra Julie
Published: August 2023

Ecopoetics has to do with the realisation of the relationship between human beings and the biosphere. It reflects on what it might mean to dwell with the earth. Before one's country can become accepted as a dwellilng place for the writer's imagination, it must first be discerned, experienced, expressed, and as it were fully engaged. The foreignness of the Australian environment as envisaged by the early European settlers, together with the exploitive ideology of colonialism, proved challenging for colonial writers such as Charles Harpur who felt a sense of connection to the place.This paper examines Harpur's work to determine if it qualifies as ecopoetics as understood in recent studies of literature in relation to the environment. It also seeks to establish his work as a resource for current environmental thinkers, as a point of reference for the consideration of the pre-colonial communicative exchange with this land. His emphasis is on vision: both in a temporal and a transcendental sense.

Georgiana Molloy, Botanical Networks and Naming in 19th Century Western Australia
Authors: White Jessica
Published: August 2023

In her book Through Other Continents: American Literature through Deep Time (Princeton UP, 2006), Wai Chee Dimock argues for a new approach to envisaging nations and their literary productions. Rather than perceiving a nation’s literary output as coterminous with its history, one could conceive of it as ‘a criss-crossing set of pathways, open-ended and ever-multiplying, weaving in and out of other geographies, other languages and cultures’. Dimock refers to this ‘tangle of relations’ as ‘deep time’—not bound by definitive dates such 1788, when Arthur Phillip jammed a pole in the sand of Port Jackson—but stretching across several temporalities and geographies.If time is conceptualised not as a linear progression, but as ‘a structure of evolving relations’, then new interpretative frameworks such as capitalism, world religions, or the morphology of langauge are needed to understand developments in earth’s history. This essay proposes one more means of understanding time: botany and the naming of plants. Specifically, it focuses upon the networks formed by Georgiana Molloy, who emigrated from Carlisle, England, to south west Western Australia in 1829.Molloy began collecting specimens and seeds for amateur botanist Captain James Mangles of London in 1837. As she was often weighed down by domestic labour, she requisitioned Noongars, soldiers, her children, and her husband in her collecting efforts. When her seeds were sent to England, Mangles distributed them among his botanical networks. Meanwhile, Molloy solicited the names for the plants she found from Mangles and Noongars alike.The web of relations created by exchanging seeds and words within the south west, between England and Australia, and between white and Aboriginal people, disrupts the notion that Australia’s history and literature is coterminous with English settlement. It also defies the concept that Australia is a nation defined by its coastline. Rather, it is a country brought into our consciousness through networks which stretch beyond these coasts through the dispersal of, among other things, plants and their names.
Making Landfall: Towards a Critical Tempestology of Cyclones in Colonial Australia to 1850
Authors: Thomas Sue
Published: August 2023

In paleotempestology the mapping of past tropical cyclone activity has been conducted through two principal methods: geological proxy techniques, to gauge the millennial scale incidence of cyclones, and examination of archives, for example, newspapers, ships' logs, diaries, annals, government documents and Chinese historical documentary records which date back over a thousand years (Liu 13-15). The survey of historical sources by paleotempestologists is designed to elicit information about the incidence, intensity and tracks of cyclones and the material damage they have caused. In this essay I turn to Australian colonial newspapers before 1851 digitised by the National Library of Australia for its Trove database. They carried local and overseas reports of hurricane and intense storm activity; poems, letters, and excerpts of travel narratives which represent hurricanes; and local and overseas commentary on current affairs of state.
Emergent Tropicality: Cyclone Mahina, Bathurst Bay 1899
Authors: McDougall Russell
Published: August 2023

In 1899 a Category 5 cyclone destroyed almost the entire pearling fleet of Bathurst Bay in North Queensland, sinking 55 ships and killing 307 people (approximately). Its historical status, however, is complicated. Measured by the numbers of lives lost, it is the most severe natural disaster in Australian history since European settlement. But most of the pearlers were either indigenous or foreign, excluded from the national imaginary. Hence the acknowledgement of Mahina’s status in national weather history had continually to be postponed. This is despite the fact that, in world weather history, Mahina holds the record for a storm surge, estimated at 13 metres (43 feet). It also contributed in a major way to making the personal history of the Queensland Government Meteorologist, Clement Wragge, who named it, for it was the first cyclone in world history to be given a personal (rather than a place) name. Wragge gave the cyclone the name of a Polynesian woman, predicting nonetheless that it would “not prove so soft and gentle as the Tahitian maiden of that name.”  (For tropical cyclones he preferred female names; for the “cold, blustery cyclones on the polar front” he reserved masculine names (mostly of politicians who refused to subsidise his work). Focusing on Cyclone Mahina and its aftermath, this essay explores the entanglements of meterology and indigeneity in colonial governance in colonial Qyeensland on the eve of Federation. In the context of these historical entanglements, the paper reads Ian Townsend's "tropical gothic" novel, The Devil's Eye, as a remembering and imagining of the nation as it was and might have been.
The Green Man: the desire for deeper connections with nature
Authors: Gibson Prudence
Published: August 2023

In an epoch of compromised ecologies and parallel changes in human perceptions of nature, this paper charts the development of the Green Man or Foliate Face in art and architecture. The Green Man first appeared in France in the 1st century and flourished in British architecture in the 11–15th centuries. This pagan character was a Wildman, worshipped as both an apotropaic and benevolent spirit, associated with fertility. This paper provokes an inquiry into whether the leafy extrusions from Green Man’s mouth are a form of nonhuman desiring language, a means of communicating with the plant world, or merely a site of vegetal genesis and agency. In contemporary visual art, the concept of the Green Man or the hybrid plant–animal has emerged anew, no doubt in response to climate change fears and diminishing ecodiversities. Edourdo Kac’s 'Enigma', for instance, is a genetically modified petunia flower, created from Kac’s DNA, combining human and plant genes in the one plant. This paper draws on the plant philosophy of Michael Marder and traces the Green Man plant–human hybrid into the present, as a means of documenting the way nature thinks through humans.
Poetry as Investigative Pedagogy: Issues of Ethics and Praxis in Hay and Thorne’s Last Days of the Mill, 2012.
Authors: Hay Pete
Published: August 2023

This paper examines dilemmas of ethics and practice in the author’s co-written Last Days of the Mill (2012).  The usefulness of poetry as a tool of social inquiry is considered, both in the immediate context of a dying pulp mill in an industrial town in northern Tasmania, and the wider symbolic import of the mill’s demise within an island wedded to an unrealisable vision of industrial greatness.  It is argued that there are forms of knowing in which poetry is far more efficacious than analytical prose, most notably elusive and grounded understandings such as ‘being there-ness’, and the accretion of a vividly storied mindscape expressed through the spoken word. The paper then considers the injunction of the Canadian poet, Robert Bringhurst – that ‘when he sees his people destroying the world, the poet can say, “we’re destroying the world”.  He can say it in narrative or lyric or dramatic or meditative form, tragic or ironic form, short or long form . . . But he cannot lie, as a poet . . . ’  The paper argues for a more nuanced and inclusivist ethic, even when, technically speaking, this requires an act of dissimulation on the part of the poet.

As professor of literature and environment at the University of Idaho and author of more than 250 articles about environmental literature, he is ideally placed to respond to overarching questions about the field, its history and its current and future directions. Prof. Slovic has also published 25 books in the area, including, most recently, Ecocriticism of the Global South (co-edited with Swarnalatha Rangarajan and Vidya Sarveswaran, 2015), Numbers and Nerves: Information, Emotion, and Meaning in a World of Data (co-authored with Paul Slovic, 2015), and Ecocritical Aesthetics: Literature, Beauty, and the Environment (co-edited with Peter Quigley, forthcoming 2017). He has edited the journal ISLE: Interdisciplinary Studies in Literature and Environment since 1995 and is co-editor of Routledge’s new World Literatures and the Environment Series.
Grounding Story
Authors: Collective Swamphen
Published: August 2023

Swamphen emerges from the air, lands and seas that form the stories of the First Nation peoples of Australia and Aotearoa/New Zealand. We attend to these communities’ narratives as a first principle. We acknowledge the unceded territories on which we have worked, to produce this issue of Swamphen, and we pay our respects to those territories’ Elders, past, present and emerging. This respect is imbued in our namesake, swamphen, a bird active in this region’s ground, skies and waters. As volume seven, this issue of Swamphen forms part of its predecessor journal, the Australasian Journal of Ecocriticism and Cultural Ecology. We are indebted to CA Cranston and her team who founded the ASLEC-ANZ journal. The theme of this issue, Grounding Story, has its origins in the 2019 ASLEC-ANZ conference and the writings we have gathered continue the conversations had there, about the importance of grounded story-telling in a time of crisis.
Ingratitude in Gratitude to Deborah Bird Rose
Authors: Hamilton Jennifer
Published: August 2023

This is a story of how Debbie Rose grounded my research in unlikely ways and how I repaid her by writing something critically provocative about the field she helped found: the environmental humanities. I don’t feel bad about this, which is odd given my learned tendency towards feelings of guilt. But as a strange kind of free verse elegy I want to explore the ambivalent state I find myself in here: on one hand grieving a lost mentor and friend, and on the other feeling committed to my critical position.
Responsive Topographies: Reading the Ontopoetics in Mullumbimby and The Swan Book
Authors: Dickie Stephen
Published: August 2023

The ways in which European settlers have disrupted Australian lands, and disrupted the relationship that First Nations people have to Indigenous Country, are massive and manifold. This despoliation has deep and lasting implications because Country relies on a dialogue between people and place, and this dialogue is based on millennia of accumulated knowledges. Mitigating the despoliation requires the acknowledgement of this dialogue’s importance, and one mode of making it legible, particularly to European settlers, is through works of Indigenous literature.
Portraits of Change: Photo-Storytelling Across Bangladesh, China and Australia
Authors: Chew Michael
Published: August 2023

Trained in art photography, I initially hoped that my own photography would inspire positive environmental change. However I soon felt uncomfortable with putting my energy towards conventional nature photography, which tends to rely on simplified and polarised emotions of either fear in images of despoiled landscapes or hope in the form of pristine wilderness (Manzo 206) that can serve to reproduce essentialised ideas of nature and culture which are becoming increasingly untenable in the Anthropocene era. In contrast, I gradually found through research, and my own grassroots projects that participatory photography methods—such as photovoice—have the potential to generate rich locally-grounded photo-stories which open up deeper engagements with the complexities of nature-culture relations (Gustafson and Al-Sumait 9).
Letter to a seabird
Authors: Fagan Melissa Jane
Published: August 2023

In May 2020, when I should have been experiencing spring in Scotland, I was instead living in Queensland, surfing the point breaks of the southern Gold Coast as the autumn swells rolled in. It was there that I noticed a bird I had never seen before and didn’t know how to identify. Over coming weeks and months, I would watch this bird and others like it dive for fish from a great height, mesmerised. I wanted to know more. In my strange/letter, addressed to the birds, I track my attempts to identify and understand them via close observation and research, a process that led me back to Scotland through Bryan Nelson’s monograph, The Gannet (1978). I trace the way in which I began to feel a sense of kinship with this animal, while also interrogating the limits of that kinship, amid a backdrop of border closures and uncertainty that was the strange southern winter of 2020.
Resisting Action
Authors: Vulcan Julie
Published: August 2023

Initially I stood at a threshold peering into a place of momentous ending. I shook my head. Gundungurra country needs to burn, I imagine its people say across time, just not like this. There is a requirement for care-full in/action when living with and on a post-fire terrain while still in trauma. It is a difficult balancing act for humans who like to fix things. Beyond the domestic clean-up of burnt buildings and infrastructure, my teachers await my attention. They are not of the human kind, rather they are the critters that perch in branches or skitter under rock. They are the soil movers, the crevice crouchers and the mark makers. They are the stirring plants and the underground tendrils of fungal hyphae. They send slow signals and resist tidy aesthetics. They challenge the perception of “dead” and question short-term human economies of usefulness. Ultimately, they remind me that home is made up of many intersecting homes weaving, twisting and turning in a constant process of becoming.
[Review]Iris Ralph, Packing Death in Australian Literature: Ecosides and Eco-Sides, Routledge, 2022, 174pp.
Authors: White Jessica
Published: August 2023

At first glance, a review of Iris Ralph’s Packing Death in Australian Literature (2020) does not fit neatly into an issue themed ‘Strange/Letters’, for, as Ralph’s acknowledgements page indicates, this book grew out of the inaugural 2005 conference of ASLEC-ANZ (then known as ASLE-ANZ). However, Ralph’s analysis, which ‘addresses plants and animals in Australia and its literature’ (1), is very much about strangeness if we consider that, until fairly recently, the contemplation of the nonhuman was an unfamiliar approach to Australian literary criticism.
Writing with Multiple Appendages
Authors: Phillips Perdita , Neimanis Astrida
Published: August 2023

Four pairs of images from the Postcards from the Underground (2022) print series are presented here as experiments in translating invertebrate underground worlds. Artist Perdita Phillips and cultural theorist Astrida Neimanis collaborated to create an interdisciplinary ‘walkshop’ event to the coal mining town of Lithgow, as part of Phillips’ Artsource both/and artist in residence at Artspace, Sydney in 2017. The many forms of stygofauna—small invertebrate animals including worms, mites, snails, insects and many crustacea—can be found in the millimetreswide in-between spaces in groundwater. Short-range endemism is common—due to their distribution in isolated patches beneath semi-arid to rainforest landscapes in Australia—and sporadic relic distribution world-wide. Working between Neimanis’ text and Phillips’ drawings and found images, the conversations with and through stygofauna, underground water and mining were then developed into colour postcards, that use a red/cyan optical masking technique. The images can be decoded with a red filter that is held up to the eye. The previously invisible cyan delineations are then revealed from beneath—alluding to the layers of concern and the double state of both/and—“caught up in both the noticing and notnoticing of each other” that the artist/author were articulating (Neimanis and Phillips 137). The swirling patterns of swimming and the complex fingering of many limbs were rendered into cryptic scores. The postcards explore notions of hiding/revealing and comprehension and miscomprehension of subterranean ecosystems, through the multiple scratchings of the skittering limbs of stygofauna.

Features of Corruption in Commercial Organizations: The Criminological Aspect
Authors: Kostrykina Viktoriya Vital'evna
Published: August 2023

The subject of this study is the provision of the current national legislation regulating legal relations in organizations, generally recognized principles and norms of international law in the field of combating corruption, the provision of the current anti-corruption legislation and other by-laws of the Russian Federation, norms establishing legal responsibility for corruption offenses in organizations, scientific works on these issues, information from the media, and judicial practice. Dialectical, system-structural, formal-logical, and other scientific research methods were used in this work. The study aims to substantiate corruption in commercial organizations as an independent criminological system/structural phenomenon. Organizations carry out their activities in various spheres of society, be it social, economic, political, spiritual, and others. Corruption in commercial organizations is a great public danger, as it encroaches on the everyday activities of commercial organizations and the interests of the state, society, and individual citizens. In the scientific literature, a significant number of scientific papers are devoted to various aspects of corruption in this area. At the same time, the question of the socio-legal characteristics of this type of corruption for the domestic legal doctrine remains open today. The article discusses the main signs of corruption in commercial organizations and its features.
Using adversarial networks to extend brain computer interface decoding accuracy over time

Existing intracortical brain computer interfaces (iBCIs) transform neural activity into control signals capable of restoring movement to persons with paralysis. However, the accuracy of the ‘decoder’ at the heart of the iBCI typically degrades over time due to turnover of recorded neurons. To compensate, decoders can be recalibrated, but this requires the user to spend extra time and effort to provide the necessary data, then learn the new dynamics. As the recorded neurons change, one can think of the underlying movement intent signal being expressed in changing coordinates. If a mapping can be computed between the different coordinate systems, it may be possible to stabilize the original decoder’s mapping from brain to behavior without recalibration. We previously proposed a method based on Generalized Adversarial Networks (GANs), called ‘Adversarial Domain Adaptation Network’ (ADAN), which aligns the distributions of latent signals within underlying low-dimensional neural manifolds. However, we tested ADAN on only a very limited dataset. Here we propose a method based on Cycle-Consistent Adversarial Networks (Cycle-GAN), which aligns the distributions of the full-dimensional neural recordings. We tested both Cycle-GAN and ADAN on data from multiple monkeys and behaviors and compared them to a third, quite different method based on Procrustes alignment of axes provided by Factor Analysis. All three methods are unsupervised and require little data, making them practical in real life. Overall, Cycle-GAN had the best performance and was easier to train and more robust than ADAN, making it ideal for stabilizing iBCI systems over time.

Romance de los Tres Reinos, siendo una obra literaria de mucha importancia, merece ser estudiada desde múltiples ángulos, entre los que se encuentra la traducción. Los objetivos de este artículo son, en primer lugar, presentar las traducciones de dicha obra a diferentes idiomas, con especial atención al español; en segundo lugar, analizar la repercusión de la novela más allá del ámbito literario; y, en tercer y último lugar, revisar los estudios traductológicos acerca de esta novela. Para lograr los dos primeros objetivos, se ha efectuado una revisión de las traducciones del Romance de los Tres Reinos, así como de todos aquellos productos derivados de la obra traducidos al español, tales como películas y videojuegos. La revisión bibliográfica se ha llevado a cabo mediante un barrido de la base de datos de la Coalición de Referencia y Asesoramiento de Bibliotecas Nacionales (全国图书馆参考咨 询联盟, Quanguo Tushuguan Cankao Zixun Lianmeng). Nuestros resultados apuntan a que esta obra ha sido traducida a muchos idiomas de todo el mundo, pero que la proporción de traducciones al español es muy pequeña. Pese a la escasez de traducciones, se detectan productos basados en la obra, tales como películas y videojuegos, que han sido bien acogidos en España. Finalmente, de entre los estudios analizados (entre los que se encuentran libros, artículos, tesis doctorales y trabajos de fin de máster), solamente una pequeña parte se centra en la combinación chino-español, hecho que pone de manifiesto el vacío investigador existente en este sentido.

Maternidad, labores de cuidado e igualdad en la legislación laboral chilena
Authors: Fuenzalida Martínez Patricia , Herrera Maldonado Florencia
Published: August 2023

En un contexto de creciente reconocimiento al aporte de las mujeres a la vida social y política, y la consecuente búsqueda de igual participación, el mundo del trabajo sigue siendo un ambiente en que esos propósitos no logran ser debidamente armonizados con los derechos derivados de la maternidad y la crianza de los hijos, puesto que nuestra legislación aún considera a la madre como la cuidadora primaria, entregándole diversos permisos y beneficios que, pese a resultar necesarios para compatibilizar ambos roles, contribuyen a mantener una desigual distribución de las responsabilidades familiares entre madres y padres trabajadores, además de acarrear un riesgo de desincentivo a la contratación femenina.

No cenário econômico, as empresas devem tomar decisões oportunas e precisas com base na situação real da empresa, que está relacionada à sobrevivência da empresa. No entanto, mudanças drásticas no comportamento dos mercados mundiais e na relação entre as pessoas e as indústrias têm surpreendido as organizações, que não conseguem cumprir tais exigências. Sendo assim, o objetivo foi analisar sobre os fatores macro e microeconômicos que afetaram a variação do combustível do no Brasil sob a ótica da empresa Petrobrás S.A. durante o governo Bolsonaro com interferência da guerra na Ucrânia. A metodologia adotada trata-se de uma pesquisa bibliográfica, de caráter descritivo.
Rentabilidade por produto em uma empresa de injeção plástica: aplicação da teoria das restrições e contabilidade de ganhos

A competição nos negócios faz com que a empresas busquem incessantemente por melhora da sua performace operacional para que possam ter a melhor rentabilidade possível com um preço justo. A melhor rentabilidade se dá não somente pela melhor performace operacional, mas também pela forma como se utiliza os recursos disponiveis. Dentre esses recursos estão os ativos fixos da empresa, suas máquinas e equipamentos, que devem ser utilizadas para maximizar a rentabilidade do negócio, buscando proporcionar a maior rentabilidade possivel com o mesmo investimento. Dentre os diversos segmentos de negócio, a indústria plástica tem uma representatividade importante no Brasil e no Rio Grande do Sul. Dado essa importância da indústria plástica, somado a necessidade de se buscar a melhor utilização possivel dos investimentos das empresas, o trabalho buscou através da Contabilidade de Ganhos oriunda da Teoria das Restrições elaborar um modelo de apurar e acompanhar a rentabilidade por produto da indústria plástica de injeção, de forma que seja possível atingir a maior rentabilidade dos recursos disponíveis. Como resultado do estudo de caso, a análise qualitativa demonstrou que a Contabilidade de Ganhos é perfeitamente aplicável a indústria plástica de injeção. Constatou-se que numa empresa onde se tem uma variedade de produtos de tamanhos e pesos distintos, a utilização do método através da Contabilidade de Ganhos se demonstrou mais adequada do que a Contabilidade de custos tradicional que usa a margem bruta para acompanhar a rentabilidade por produto. Levando em consideração que a tarefa de fazer a melhor combinação de produção e venda dos produtos medidos pela Contabilidade de Ganhos pode ser trabalhosa em função da quantidade de produtos que a empresa possa ter, o trabalho apresenta como alternativa a utilização da ferramenta Solver do Excel para auxiliar no processo de análise e tomada de decisão. O trabalho possibilita que indústrias do mesmo segmento ou com processos produtivos análogos, utilizarem como material de reflexão sobre seus instrumentos de controle ou serve como modelo para reformatação dos seus controles. O trabalho conclui que a Contabilidade de Ganhos demonstrou-se superior a contabilidade tradicional para uma indústria de injeção plástica tomar decisão sobre a forma de utilização dos recursos, o modelo criado ajuda o gestor a tomar decisões mais assertivas para melhor rentabilizar o investimento sob sua gestão.
Corruption and Violence in Early Dynastic Mari (As Seen from Ebla)
Authors: Arkhipov I. , Kogan L. , Markina E.
Published: August 2023

The tablet ARET 13, 15 was published in 2003 by Pelio Fronzaroli among other Eblaite “testi di cancelleria,” providing a basis for studying the document. This edition was the first step toward understanding the text, establishing that it describes several episodes pertaining to Ebla’s relations with Mari, its principal rival in eastern Syria, at the time of Yibbi-zikir, the last vizier of Early Dynastic Ebla. However, a number of difficulties remained unresolved. In a new edition, Walther Sallaberger (2008) made significant progress in the interpretation of the structure, genre, and historical setting of the text, as well as of several problematic passages. In particular, he showed that the document describes offenses suffered by Eblaites visiting the Mari kingdom, related to a war between Ebla and Mari. We believe, however, that there is still room for a better understanding of the text. Here we suggest several new interpretations for a number of passages, revealing previously unnoticed lexemes and historical facts. We also provide the first English translation of the document.
Problem of the Quranic al-ṣamad
Authors: Hammond Andrew
Published: August 2023

Angelika Neuwirth has argued that sura 112 of the Quran is intended as an intertextual corrective commentary on key Jewish and Christian creedal statements. This theory, consonant with recent scholarship considering the Muslim scripture to be a text of late antiquity, would match the enigmatic phrase Allāh al-ṣamad with the Nicene creed’s description of God as “almighty” (pantokrator) and sura 112’s statement that God has no equal (kufuʾ) with the Nicene creed’s homoousia, the term that throughout the seventh century CE remained central to the bitter doctrinal conflict wracking Eastern Christianity. This article surveys the wide debate in the scholarly literature over these quranic verses, and specifically the hapax legomenon of al-ṣamad, and compares the early Muslim exegetical treatment of al-ṣamad with the approach of contemporaneous Christian polemical writing of the late eighth century. It suggests that the key to unlocking the meaning of the sura and al-ṣamad, which has long vexed both premodern and modern scholars, could lie in the concept of Aristotelian substance and its articulation in the trinitarian formula and ensuing christological disputes.
Tillya Tepe Gold Coin and the Gandhāran Connections of the Tillya Tepe Burials
Authors: Cribb Joe
Published: August 2023

The gold coin found in 1978 among the many treasures of the Tillya Tepe burials in northwestern Afghanistan by the Russian archaeologist Viktor Sarianidi and his team has provoked much debate. Suggestions have been made that it depicts the first representation of the Buddha. This article shows that it does not show the Buddha, but Heracles, representing the Buddha’s guardian Vajrapani. The coin also throws into doubt the early first century CE date of the burials, placing them in the late first century to early second century CE.. The coin also draws attention to the connection between many objects in the burials and Gandhāra, particularly the site of Sirkap at Taxila.
First Swedish Translation from the Lunyu
Authors: Nordvall Christian
Published: August 2023

This paper describes the first known translation from the Confucian classics into Swedish, a collection of eighty quotations from the Lunyu published as an appendix to J . A . Bellman’s Wishetenes råd (1707). The work is a third-generation translation, made from the French La morale de Confucius (1688), which is itself an abridged translation of the Latin Confucius Sinarum philosophus (1687). This paper selects ten of the eighty quotations for detailed analysis and commentary. The main findings are that the translation removes so much of the Chinese context and Confucian technical vocabulary that the text becomes almost indistinguishable from generic wisdom literature. Furthermore, the Swedish translator adds a layer of “Christian” vocabulary, which was not present in the Latin and French versions. However, at a time when Sweden had almost no contact with non-Christian cultures, the translation may have played a valuable role in making the Swedish public positively disposed toward Chinese culture .
