O que fazer com o seu dinheiro: o discurso prescritivo em manchetes de capa de jornais sobre finanças pessoais
Authors: Santos Leusa Cristina Bezerra dos
Published: March 2023

Saia do vermelho. Pague as contas em dia e evite entrar no cheque especial. Essas são algumas questões trazidas pela mídia em geral quando o assunto são finanças pessoais. Mas para quem são endereçadas? Como é construído o leitor nesse tipo de abordagem? A quais discursos elas remetem? Este artigo visa a responder a esses questionamentos e investiga, à luz da análise do discurso de linha francesa, os sentidos que emergem desses tipos de enunciados em manchetes de capa de jor­nais e como esses sentidos ligam-se, simultaneamente, ao discurso de autoajuda. A mídia precisa de audiência e é vista como uma transmissora da verdade e detentora de credibilidade. Valendo-se dessa constituição ideológica, os enunciados jorna­lísticos de primeira página sobre a vida financeira das pessoas inscrevem-se em formações discursivas que remetem à imposição velada do discurso de autoajuda e também à relevância construída através do discurso midiático. No meio dessa arena ideológica de dizeres híbridos, estão o sujeito-autor e o sujeito-leitor, que convivem através dos sentidos emergentes dos enunciados.

MUSICOTERAPIA PARA EL ENVEJECIMIENTO ACTIVO
Authors: Belmonte María Auxiliadora
Published: March 2023

La Organización Mundial de la Salud, en la II Asamblea Mundial del Envejecimiento celebrada en 2002, acuñó el término envejecimiento activo haciendo referencia al proceso a través del cual se logran optimizar las oportunidades en cuanto a seguridad, participación y salud mejorando la calidad de vida en las personas de edad avanzada. Al hablar de envejecimiento activo en dicha asamblea, se hizo referencia a varios ámbitos de intervención entre los que cabría destacar el ámbito del bienestar físico, del bienestar social y del mental (Limón Mendizabal, 2018). Dado que la Musicoterapia, por definición, es una excelente herramienta de cara a los tres ámbitos mencionados (Pérez Eizaguirre & Fernández Company, 2015), resulta una cuestión muy acertada emplear esta terapia artística como medio para este ámbito preventivo (Mercadal-Brontons & Martí, 2008).
En el presente artículo, se presentan las conclusiones al respecto de una científicamente justificada propuesta de intervención para el envejecimiento activo a través de la musicoterapia que, además, ha sido implementada de manera real. A la luz de dicha intervención, se evidencia, tanto el nivel elevado de satisfacción de los usuarios, como los beneficios de la musicoterapia en este campo.

"LE LANGAGE DU SECTEUR DE LA BEAUTÉ : UN DÉFI POUR LE TRADUCTEUR SPÉCIALISÉ"
Authors:   Politehnica University Timisoara, PENTELIUC-COTOŞMAN Luciana
Published: March 2023

Hautement valorisé par la société contemporaine, le secteur de la beauté est en pleine expansion. Le dynamisme de ce domaine interdisciplinaire, ouvert à la recherche scientifique et tourné toujours davantage vers la médecine, la pharmacologie et la chimie, se reflète également dans son langage spécifique, qui mélange les codes et couvre un registre varié d’usages allant de l’ultra-scientifique à l’ultra-vulgarisé, ainsi que dans sa terminologie composite, épatante, foisonnante, marquée par une néologie incessante. Le présent article se propose d’éclairer les problèmes de traduction spécifiques posés par la variété des textes spécialisés du domaine de l’esthétique et de la cosmétologie, et par ce biais de montrer que la pratique traductive, dans ce secteur notamment, doit être envisagée comme une tâche complexe, exigeant de la part du traducteur spécialisé une approche multi-compétences et des solutions globales, les seules qui puissent couvrir les différents aspects terminologiques, sémantiques, sémiotiques, communicationnels et marketing qui se combinent dans le discours multidimensionnel caractéristique du domaine de la beauté.
"AN EXPLORATORY STUDY INTO THE ROMANIAN STUDENTS’ MOTIVATIONS FOR ONLINE SECOND-HAND SHOPPING"
Authors:   Politehnica University Timisoara, CERNICOVA-BUCĂ Mariana
Published: March 2023

Online shopping became the main type of shopping in 2020, due to the restrictions posed by authorities to contain the COVID-19 pandemic. Students, who already were digitally literate, easily made full use of the digital platforms for shopping a variety of items, among which clothing. The study focuses on student shopping for a special category of products, second-hand garments, aiming to identify the motivations that animate such purchase in the student population. Also, the study aims to highlight which of the digital channels are used for such purchases. The research is based on a survey, self-administered by the respondents. Results show that students participating in the study display a complex set of motivations for secondhand products purchasing, such as economic reasons, fashion-related judgement, leisure, and ecological reasoning. While feeling ‘at home’ in the digital world, if given the choice, students prefer social media over websites, and Instagram over Facebook. Findings are useful for understanding student’s behavior and motivations in the time of crisis, but also to anticipate the trend in ecommerce, since given the chance, many (small) businesses will need to be creative in promoting their products and/or services.
"LANGUAGE CHANGE IN INSTITUTIONAL DISCOURSES. GENRE-BASED APPROACHES"
Authors:   University of Craiova, VASILE Corina
Published: March 2023

The paper starts from the basic assumption that genres are socially linked, and shall refer to those circumstances in which language changes due to historical, social and cultural factors, maintaining the need for a structural perspective with sets of rules stressing the right genre interpretations, yet focusing on language functional use in defining discourse in institutional settings. Therefore, we shall discuss elements such as time, space or protagonists which contribute to language change. The paper aims to explain how such controlling factors will connect language-genre-discourse in institutional settings, delimiting specific genres by forcing language change to (re)adapt to new contexts.

Exploring course evaluations based on self-determination theory
Authors: Heinrich Eva
Published: March 2023

This ‘Research in Progress’ article explores how to build on self-determination theory (SDT) in the context of first year university course evaluations. It suggests the use of an established SDT scale, Balanced Measure of Psychological Needs (BMPN), plus two course specific scales on course design features and perceived knowledge gains. The scales form a conceptual design linking course design, needs fulfilment and knowledge gains. Two information technology courses have been examined and findings indicate the usefulness of the conceptual design for course evaluation. Per course, data from the three scales combine to coherent pictures; across courses differences show up that might be explained via course maturity. While approaches for a combined statistical analysis for the three scales are indicated, participant numbers were too small for testing of models. Several areas for follow up research are suggested and include refinement of the scales, application to other courses for comparison regarding course maturity or subject specifics, examination of SDT for application in modern technology-supported and blended course environments, as well as combination with qualitative data for a deeper understanding.

Noticias falsas (fake news) y derecho a recibir información veraz. Dónde se fundamenta la posibilidad de controlar la desinformación y cómo hacerlo
Authors: Serra Cristobal Rosario
Published: March 2023

Este trabajo analiza el fenómeno de la desinformación —y en singular las noticias falsas—desde el punto de vista del derecho a recibir información veraz. Se defiende que no existe un derecho fundamental a no recibir noticias falsas, pero que ese derecho a recibir información veraz sí constituye una garantía institucional de la opinión pública plural, libre y de calidad que la Constitución busca garantizar. Ello implica que los poderes públicos tienen la obligación positiva de actuar en favor de un proceso comunicativo caracterizado por esos elementos y regular contra la desinformación, porque esta repercute negativamente en la libre configuración de la voluntad y opinión de la ciudadanía y, por lo tanto, en el normal funcionamiento democrático. A partir de ahí se reflexiona sobre los diferentes instrumentos para monitorizar y, en su caso, controlar la difusión de los mensajes falsos, sabiendo los riesgos que ello puede conllevar para las libertades de expresión e información.
La inaceptable dispersión terminológica del derecho al juez legal
Authors: Cano Fernández Sonia
Published: March 2023

El artículo 24 de la Constitución Española reconoce en su apartado segundo el derecho al juez ordinario predeterminado por la ley. Sin duda, es compleja la expresión utilizada para designar el aludido derecho. Pero el problema principal es que esa alambicada expresión no ha servido para eliminar otras rúbricas tradicionales que incluso han dado lugar a la idea, muy difundida, de que con cada expresión se estaba significando algo diferente. De ese modo, «juez legal», «juez natural», «juez constitucional», «juez ordinario» o «juez ordinario predeterminado por la ley» han sido frecuentes expresiones que cabe localizar tanto en la historia como en el Derecho comparado. Lo realmente curioso es que, prescindiendo de detalles que al final son superfluos, todas esas rúbricas son habitualmente equivalentes en el fondo, pese a que con matices que rompen la unidad científica del concepto. La realidad es que existe un contenido esencial del derecho consistente en la necesidad de prever por ley el órgano jurisdiccional que debe juzgar un asunto concreto a fin de garantizar su independencia, especialmente del poder ejecutivo, conjurando así un problema que sistemáticamente se había producido en el pasado. Esta diversidad terminológica y conceptual, así como la dispersión doctrinal al respecto, obligan a encontrar una expresión única para designar el derecho, que sea sencilla y que no desoriente respecto a su contenido esencial. Se trata, en suma, de materializar correctamente desde la perspectiva terminológica el deseo inmanente a lo largo de la historia de que no se manipulara la competencia judicial para juzgar un asunto.

De acuerdo con lo anterior, se plantea en el presente trabajo el estudio de los antecedentes históricos de cada una de las expresiones a fin de perfilar el contenido que se le ha ido atribuyendo al derecho a lo largo del tiempo, descubriendo que algunos de esos contenidos son en cierta medida casuales o incluso arbitrarios, evocando diferentes realidades conceptuales sin una auténtica voluntad de hacerlo. Tras ese estudio que trata de ser lo más exhaustivo posible sin incurrir en innecesarias reiteraciones, se destaca la relevancia constitucional de la predeterminación legal y sus razones. Con ello se intenta localizar por fin ese mínimo común denominador en los objetivos de cada legislador histórico, simplificando así la tarea señalada de concreción del contenido esencial del derecho. Finalmente se concluye que el término «juez legal» es el más breve, completo y certero para designar el derecho e incluir de la forma menos polémica posible su contenido esencial.
Del adelanto electoral a la «repetición electoral»: funciones y disfunciones de la disolución del parlamento
Authors: De Lázaro Redruello Guillermo
Published: March 2023

Durante décadas, la doctrina española dio por hecho que la disolución discrecional refuerza la posición del presidente y que la disolución automática estimula la formación de Gobierno, razón por la cual se prestó escasa atención a estos mecanismos. Sin embargo, en los últimos años esas expectativas se han visto defraudadas. Este trabajo estudia el papel que juega la disolución de las Cámaras en el régimen parlamentario, partiendo de un examen crítico de la teoría clásica y de las tres principales funciones atribuidas a esta institución, a saber: arbitrar conflictos entre ejecutivo y legislativo, preservar la estabilidad gubernamental y consultar al electorado sobre cuestiones relevantes. Seguidamente, analiza las razones de que el rendimiento de la disolución en España bajo el multipartidismo no haya sido el esperado, incidiendo en las diferencias observables entre el Estado y las Comunidades Autonomás. Asimismo se interroga por el significado e implicaciones de las llamadas «repeticiones electorales» y por los riesgos que acarrean. Finalmente, invita a reflexionar sobre la conveniencia de adecuar la disciplina constitucional de la disolución al contexto sociopolítico actual.
La neutralización de los Tribunales constitucionales en los regímenes populistas-iliberales: un análisis a partir de los casos de Hungría y Polonia
Authors: Biagi Francesco
Published: March 2023

En este artículo se analizan las relaciones entre los regímenes populistas-iliberales y los Tribunales constitucionales, a partir de los casos de Hungría y Polonia. Estos casos de estudio demuestran que los Tribunales constitucionales que operan en un régimen populista-iliberal pueden transformarse rápidamente de blancos de los Gobiernos a importantes aliados de las mayorías en el poder. En ese punto, el reasoning de dichos órganos puede parecerse muy a menudo a la retórica que utilizan las fuerzas populistas. Otra lección importante que ofrece el análisis de los casos húngaro y polaco es que las posibles soluciones que se han planteado, desde una perspectiva de constitutional design (especialmente en lo que se refiere a los procesos de nombramiento y composición de los Tribunales constitucionales, así como a la adopción de modelos alternativos de justicia constitucional), para evitar, o por lo menos dificultar, la captura de los órganos de justicia constitucional por parte de los regímenes populistas-iliberales, tienen sí algunos puntos fuertes, pero también debilidades evidentes.
El concepto de Constitución en el constitucionalismo contemporáneo en América Latina
Authors: Paredes Paredes Felipe I. , Almagro Castro David
Published: March 2023

El presente artículo analiza el concepto de Constitución en la cultura jurídica contemporánea de América Latina. La tesis planteada consiste en que la noción de Constitución escrita, por sí sola, resulta insuficiente para explicar por completo la realidad constitucional y, por lo tanto, debe ser complementada. Este complemento se encuentra fuera de los enunciados lingüísticos del texto constitucional y comprende interpretaciones, costumbres y algunas características del discurso constitucional. De ser cierta, esta tesis explicaría mejor la práctica actual del Derecho constitucional que la idea de una Constitución exclusivamente escrita y revelaría una tendencia hacia la convergencia entre los países con culturas jurídicas basadas en el Derecho Común y el Derecho Civil. De esta forma, estaríamos asistiendo a la relativización de esta tradicional distinción en la cultura legal occidental y, paralelamente, a la consolidación de la idea de un Derecho constitucional global presente también en América Latina.
Descentralización y ordenamiento jurídico en el Ecuador. Del diseño teórico a la realidad práctica
Authors: Marcheco Acuña Benjamín
Published: March 2023

La Constitución de 2008, que define al Ecuador como un Estado unitario, establece una nueva organización territorial descentralizada bajo el régimen de reparto de competencias exclusivas entre el Estado central y los entes territoriales, a los que reconoce autonomía política, administrativa y financiera y potestad legislativa para el ejercicio de sus competencias, al tiempo que mantiene una estructuración vertical del ordenamiento jurídico sostenida en la jerarquía como principio vertebrador de las relaciones entre las normas que lo integran. Esto ha generado contradicciones teóricas y prácticas en la determinación de la naturaleza jurídica de las disposiciones emanadas de los entes territoriales de gobierno y sus relaciones con las demás normas del sistema (fundamentalmente con las leyes estatales). El presente trabajo pretende insertarse en la discusión sobre la naturaleza jurídica de las disposiciones de los gobiernos territoriales en el ejercicio de sus competencias exclusivas y sus relaciones con el ordenamiento estatal; señalando, en todo caso, la divergencia del modelo teórico diseñado en la Constitución con su realización práctica, que sigue explicándose invariablemente en función la unidad de la ley y las relaciones de jerarquía normativa.

Authors: ERTÜRK AVUNDUK Ayşe Tuğba , FİLİZ Hande , CENGİZ YANARDAĞ Esra
Published: March 2023

Objectives: To determine the influence of dental students' dietary habits on tooth color. Materials and Methods: The ethical committee of Mersin University granted permission to conduct the study (number 2022/708). The consent form was approved by all participants. The following exclusion criteria were used for the selection of participants: gingival problems, the presence of excessive abrasion, dental malocclusion, a history of orthodontic or bleaching treatment, caries, and composite fillings on the facial surfaces of the teeth. A questionnaire consisting of 18 questions was directed to 202 students included in the study. The color of the upper central incisors and canines of the participants who completed the questionnaire was measured using a clinical spectrophotometer device(Vita Easyshade V). Tooth color assessment was performed by a calibrated operator. The L*, C*, H*, a*, and b* parameters were recorded. Data were subjected to descriptive statistical analysis, Spearman's rho correlation analysis and multivariate testing. Results: The sample consisted of 202 dentistry students. 96.5% of the participants were between the ages of 18-25 and more than half were female. L*, C*, H*, a*, and b* mean values in canine and incisor teeth did not differ statistically significantly according to age groups(p>0.05). The mean values of C* and b* in canine teeth and the mean values of all parameters except L* in incisor teeth showed significant differences according to gender(p<0.05). Staining beverages in the diet had no effect on L*, C*, H*, a*, and b* parameters of the canine and incisor teeth. A negative correlation was found between the frequency of consuming energy drinks and the L* value in the incisor teeth(r=-0.215; p=0.016). Conclusion: Females have lighter teeth than males. The increase in the amount of consumption of the evaluated staining beverages is one of the factors that cause the tooth colors to become darker and mat.

Este artigo centra-se nos principais contributos do projeto europeu Uncharted sobre os valores emergentes na administração cultural europeia, apoiando-se numa vasta análise documental, em grupos focais e entrevistas a uma plêiade de atores. Analisando quatro estudos de caso ibéricos, procura-se identificar a diversidade de valores que moldam as decisões e práticas de política cultural, com foco nas tensões e conflitos entre os atores envolvidos e as suas valorações. Demonstrar-se-á que os atores se mobilizam em torno de disputas sobre a hierarquia de valores, o que exige uma compreensão dos contextos em que cada reportório se estabelece, ainda que a conflitualidade se exerça dentro de um mesmo modelo de política cultural, prevalecente nos dois países ibéricos.
Study of elastic anisotropy for 1, 3, 5-trinitro-1, 3, 5-triazacyclohexane by supramolecular structural unit
Authors: Wei Fu-Jing , Zhang Wei-Bin , Dong Chuang , Chen Hua ,   School of Material Science and Engineering, Dalian University of Technology, Dalian 116024, China,   Institute of Chemical Materials, China Academy of Engineering Physics, Mianyang 621900, China

The relation between elastic property and crystal structure provides a foundation for designing new materials with desired properties and understanding the chemical decomposition and explosion of energetic materials. The supramolecular structural unit is proposed as the smallest chemical unit to quantitatively characterize the elastic anisotropy of 1, 3, 5-trinitro-1, 3, 5-triazacyclohexane (RDX). The supramolecular structural unit refers to the nearest-neighbor coordination polyhedron of one molecule. The supramolecular structural unit of RDX is composed of 15 molecules, and analyzed by the total molecular number density and the density of intermolecular interactions. The elastic modulus model is established on the assumption that 1) the RDX molecule is of sphere and rigid-body; 2) the intermolecular interaction is regarded as a linear spring, i.e. it is described by a bond-spring model; 3) the molecules are close-packed in the series mode. The elastic modulus model based on the supramolecular structural unit demonstrates that the elastic modulus is intrinsically determined by the total molecular number, the equilibrium distance of the molecular pair, the intermolecular force constant, and the angle between the intermolecular non-bonding interaction and the normal to crystal face. The intermolecular force constant is calculated as the second derivative of the intermolecular interaction with respect to the equilibrium centroid distance. The intermolecular interaction is expressed as the summation of van der Waals and electrostatic interactions calculated by COMPASS (condensed-phase optimized molecular potentials for atomistic simulation studies) II forcefield. The calculated elastic moduli are 21.7, 17.1, 20.1, 19.1, and 15.3 GPa for RDX (100), (010), (001), (210), and (021) crystal faces, respectively. The calculation results are consistent with the theoretical values computed by the density functional theory. Excluding RDX(001), the calculated elastic moduli accord with the experimental results measured by the resonant ultrasound spectroscopy (RUS), impulsive stimulated thermal scattering, Brillouin spectroscopy, and nanoindentation methods. The theoretical value (20.1 GPa) of RDX(001) overestimates the experimental values in a range of 15.9–16.6 GPa. The reason can be attributed to the rigid-body approximation for flexible molecules, in which are ignored the motion and deformation of the ring and NO2 groups when the external loads are applied to RDX(001). The results suggest that the supramolecular structural unit can be the smallest chemical unit to quantitatively characterize the elastic anisotropy of RDX and the elastic anisotropy is mainly due to the angle between the intermolecular interaction and the normal to crystal face.

To address the ongoing SARS-CoV-2 pandemic and prepare for future coronavirus outbreaks, understanding the protective potential of epitopes conserved across SARS-CoV-2 variants and coronavirus lineages is essential. We describe a highly conserved, conformational S2 domain epitope present only in the prefusion core of β-coronaviruses: SARS-CoV-2 S2 apex residues 980–1006 in the flexible hinge. Antibody RAY53 binds the native hinge in MERS-CoV and SARS-CoV-2 spikes on the surface of mammalian cells and mediates antibody-dependent cellular phagocytosis and cytotoxicity against SARS-CoV-2 spike in vitro. Hinge epitope mutations that ablate antibody binding compromise pseudovirus infectivity, but changes elsewhere that affect spike opening dynamics, including those found in Omicron BA.1, occlude the epitope and may evade pre-existing serum antibodies targeting the S2 core. This work defines a third class of S2 antibody while providing insights into the potency and limitations of S2 core epitope targeting.

Introduction

Healthcare professionals play a great role in the struggle against COVID-19. They are highly susceptible to COVID-19 due to their responsibilities. This susceptibility directly affects their mental health status. Comprehensive evidence on prevalence of depression and insomnia during this pandemic is vital. Thus, this study aims to provide the pooled prevalence of depression and insomnia, and their associated factors during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Materials and methods

This systematic review and meta-analysis follow the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA) guidelines. Studies were searched from PubMed, Cochrane Library, CrossRef, African Journals Online and Google Scholar databases from the occurence of the pandemic to June 2022. Study selection, data extraction and methodological quality assessment were done by two authors independently. The I2 statistics was used for testing heterogeneity. A random effect model was used. Stata version 16.0 was used for statistical analysis.

Results

Eight studies were incorporated for this systematic review and meta-analysis. From seven studies the pooled prevalence of depression was 40% (95% CI [0.23–0.57]; I2 = 99.00%; P = 0.00). From three studies the pooled prevalence of insomnia was 35% (95% CI [0.13–0.58]; I2 = 98.20; P = 0.00). Associated factors of depression on healthcare workers (HCWs) were being female pooled AOR: 2.09; 95% CI [1.41–2.76], been married (pooled AOR = 2.95; 95% CI [1.83–4.07]). Due to limited studies available on the factors associated with insomnia, it is impossible to pool and associated factors were presented in narrative synthesis.

Conclusion

COVID-19 is highly associated with the prevalence of depression and insomnia among healthcare professionals in Ethiopia. The pooled prevalence of depression and insomnia were significantly higher among healthcare professionals. Appropriate psychological counseling package should be realized for healthcare workers (HCWs) in order to recover the general mental health problems. Trial registration.

A Rāṣṭrakūṭa King in the Kathmandu Valley

Published: March 2023

This article presents newly discovered data that provides new insights into eighth- century Nepalese history. The data is based on a stone inscription dated to Licchavi Saṃvat 173 (748 ce), here edited and translated for the first time. The inscription not only attests to the continuity of Licchavi dynastic rule through to the middle of the eighth century CE, but additionally reveals a matrimonial and military alliance between the Licchavis and a dynasty called Rāṣṭrakūṭa, possibly the Rāṣṭrakūṭa family attested in the Indragaḍh inscription dated Vikrama Saṃvat 767 (710–11 CE). In contextualizing the historical data that can be extracted from the surviving portions of the inscription, we examine and reassess some of the strategies used by the Licchavi Kingdom to negotiate its position in the tumultuous political landscape of greater North India during the seventh and early eighth centuries. In the introduction and annotations, the article also provides observations on the inscription text’s literary style and script, as well as on certain aspects of Licchavi- period religious culture as reflected in it.
Punctuation and Text Division in Two Early Narratives
Authors: Krijgsman Rens
Published: March 2023

Volume 7 of the Tsinghua manuscripts contains multiple historiographical narratives interspersed with punctuation. This article looks into two manuscripts likely prepared in the same workshop and possibly by the same scribe. I examine how punctuation in the manuscripts engages with the structure of the texts, forming a particular reading experience and understanding of the sectioning of the narrative. The article suggests that the use of punctuation in these manuscripts reflects the punctuator’s understanding of the narrative divisions and main points of the texts. Far from merely marking individual sentences, the punctuation selectively marks sections and subsections in the narrative, corresponding to changes of interlocutor, scene and setting, and key information supporting a particular reading of the sense of the texts. The punctuator chose to amplify certain aspects of the narrative—for example, advisors outdoing their superiors—by highlighting certain sections of the text more than others. By examining the ways in which punctuation and nar- rative structure interact in these two case studies, the article aims to understand the complex relation between punctuation and narrative structure. In doing so, it evaluates the potential agency of punctuators in shaping the reading experience of early historiographical narrative texts.
The Decline and Fall of Chinese Buddhist Literary Historical Consciousness
Authors: Greene Eric M.
Published: March 2023

The problematic Sui-dynasty catalog Lidai sanbao ji 歷代三寶紀 is well known for its many incorrect translator attributions for early canonical Chinese Buddhist texts, attributions that in large measure were accepted by the later tradition and which have remained in place even within modern editions of the Chinese Buddhist canon. The question of how its compiler Fei Changfang 費長房 arrived at his information—and whether he acted in good or bad faith in presenting it—has long been debated. Recent scholarship has argued that patterns in how the Lidai sanbao ji draws from earlier sources demonstrate that Fei Changfang engaged in a deliberate manipulation of his data. This essay, in contrast, introduces manuscripts from Dunhuang of earlier and otherwise lost catalogs of Chinese Buddhist texts to demonstrate that these patterns can be explained in other ways. More broadly, it is suggested that the errors of the Lidai sanbao ji should be understood not as the products of a solitary forger, but as a sign of a wider loss of literary historical consciousness that impacted Chinese Buddhism between ca. 550–650 CE .
In the Voice of Qu Yuan
Authors: Fu Su
Published: March 2023

Since the time of the Eastern Han (25–220), the composition of “Nines,” suites of nine poems written in the Chuci style, has been perceived as a practice to transmit the paradigmatic poet Qu Yuan’s texts and intention. The actual practice of composition, however, invites the negotiation, if not tension, between two voices: the actual author’s and that of Qu Yuan’s texts. This paper examines Lu Yun’s 陸雲 (262–303) “Jiumin” 九愍 (Nine sufferings), a rewriting of Qu Yuan’s “Jiuzhang” 九章 (Nine declarations), in light of Lu Yun’s private letters clarifying his prin- ciples of rewriting. I argue that, despite Lu Yun’s claimed fidelity to Qu Yuan, the suite is largely a private projection of Lu’s own literary criticism and family experience, a projection giving rise to an anachronistic persona of Qu Yuan in the poems. Through a close reading of the “Jiumin” and Lu’s literary criticism, the paper sheds light on the authorial role in rewriting canonical texts and its cultural significance.
New Urartian Inscriptions from Malazgirt, East Turkey, and the Localization of the City of Mezaiani
Authors: Iṣik Kenan , Genç Bülent
Published: March 2023

Located in the northwest of the Lake Van basin, the city of Malazgirt was an important area of the kingdom of Urartu from its earliest period due to its stra- tegic location. Inscriptions of king Minua (810–785/80 BCE) mention important construction projects, including fortresses, temples, and irrigation canals, in and around Malazgirt. This article deals with the Urartian presence in Malazgirt, presents new Urartian inscriptions, and considers their significance for historical geography. Particularly important is the Leter stele, which informs us of the correct reading of the name of the irrigation canal built by King Minua—Mezaiani, the antecedent form of Malazgirt. Another stele documents the agricultural activities of King Argišti (780–756 BCE).
