益山与东亚古代都城

The cultural heritage of Iksan possesses the structural characteristics of an ancient capital, with well-preserved palace grounds, Buddhist temples, the foundations of the royal city, substantially intact royal tombs, and a road network laid out in a grid pattern resembling the shape of the Chinese character “井”, all indicative of a capital city layout. Excavations at the royal palace site have unearthed roof tiles inscribed with the term of “首府(capital)”, while historical records refer to Iksan as the former capital, with both literature and archaeology supporting the notion of Iksan as an ancient capital. The capital Iksan exhibits features typical of East Asian capitals while also reflecting characteristics unique to Baekje's capitals. Under pressure from internal and external forces, Baekje kings may have adopted a “multi- capital system” to adapt and ensure survival. Sabi, Ungjin, and Iksan seem to have all served as capital cities during the reign of King Mu of Baekje. Archaeological findings, historical records, landmarks, and cultural relics collectively confirm the historical reality of Iksan as a capital city, fitting into the historical context of Baekje and conforming to the ancient capital typology of East Asia. Iksan's status as a capital city is substantiated, though the relevant evidence is fragmentary and lacks completeness and systemization. Only through comprehensive research utilizing the method of “bold hypothesis, careful verification” can we possibly confirm and elucidate the appearance and essence of its capital city.

Comparison of osteological characters of juveniles of freshwater and anadromous Black Sea trout Salmo trutta labrax and Atlantic salmon S. salar (Salmoniformes: Salmonidae)

A comparative analysis of juvenile anadromous and freshwater (stream) forms of the Black Sea brown trout Salmo trutta labrax Pallas, 1814 was conducted using 10 meristic and 62 morphometric characters of cranial bones. This analysis included the counts of teeth and pores in the bones, as well as measuring of their shape characters. As a basis for comparison, data on juvenile anadromous and freshwater Atlantic salmon Salmo salar Linnaeus, 1758 were used. The osteological differences between ecological forms were more pronounced in the brown trout than in the Atlantic salmon. In the brown trout, a greater number of meristic characters differentiated the forms compared to the salmon. However, for morphometric characters, the reverse pattern was observed. The freshwater forms exhibited characteristics intermediate to the anadromous forms of the two species, being more similar to the anadromous form of their species than to each other. Juvenile anadromous Black Sea trout typically had the fewest teeth, while juvenile Atlantic salmon had the most, with freshwater forms showing intermediate values. The most significant differences in the shape of cranial bones were also observed between the juvenile anadromous forms of two species. The characteristics pertaining to the number of pores in cranial bones did not reveal clear patterns when comparing the samples. Among the studied bones and characteristics, those showing the most significant differences between Black Sea trout and Atlantic salmon were identified, and species-specific features were noted. The results obtained show that juveniles of different ecological forms within the same species of the genus Salmo exhibit statistically significant osteological differences, suggesting a high genetic determination of these traits and the influence of selection within river systems on the divergence between freshwater and anadromous forms. Despite this, the variability in all studied characteristics indicates plasticity, resulting in the differences between the species and ecological forms within the genus Salmo typically not reaching the threshold for subspecies differentiation. These results align with previous studies on adult individuals and indicate that the freshwater form of the Atlantic salmon displays osteological characteristic of a more ancestral species, namely the brown trout.

Establishment of a new subfamily for the parasitic isopod genus Pleurocryptella (Isopoda: Bopyridae), including recognition of epicaridium larval yolk sacs and description of a new genus and species of hyperparasite

Abstract External yolk sacs in free-living larvae of marine invertebrates are extremely rare, with all reported cases exhibiting yolk that is taken up through connection with the anterior alimentary canal. Herein, we confirm a novel yolk sac connected to the posterior end of the alimentary canal in the first larval stage of species in the bopyrid isopod genus PleurocryptellaBonnier, 1900, all known as ectoparasites in the branchial chambers of squat lobsters. Pleurocryptella poseidon Williams & Boyko sp. nov. infesting the munidopsid Galacantha bellis Henderson, 1885 in the Arabian Sea, is described on the basis of adults and larvae. In common with conspecifics, the new species exhibits a suite of putative “primitive” characters including the presence of oostegites on the sixth and seventh pereomeres of females and maxillipeds and articulated uropods in males. Pleurocryptella poseidon Williams & Boyko sp. nov. differs from other species of Pleurocryptella by characters of body shape, antennae, oostegite 1, pleon, and uropods of females and midventral tubercles, pleomeres, and pleopods of males. The epicaridium larvae have a large posterior, external yolk sac and segmented maxillipeds, a unique set of characters within Epicaridea. In addition to larval and adult characters, molecular data (COI) indicate that the genus is distinct from other members of Bopyridae, so we erect the new subfamily Pleurocryptellinae for it. Pleurocryptella poseidon Williams & Boyko sp. nov. bears a new genus and species of hyperparasitic isopod that is herein described based on its cryptoniscus stage. A review of epicaridium larval morphology and a key to the species of Pleurocryptella are provided.

The Artistic Expression of Character Shaping and Dramatic Costume Design

Character shaping and theatrical costume design complement each other in theatrical performance. Character shaping requires consideration of the character's background, personality traits, and goals, and showcases the character's characteristics through techniques such as dialogue, body language, and psychological description. Dramatic costume design should reflect the personality of the characters, conform to the theatrical style and historical background, and reflect the development of the characters in the plot. By selecting appropriate materials, colors, and designing clothing styles, as well as cleverly matching accessories, theatrical costumes can enhance the effect of character shaping. The interaction between characters and clothing is reflected in clothing strengthening character characteristics, assisting in expressing character emotions, and creating a suitable plot atmosphere. By integrating character shaping with theatrical costume design, the connotation of characters can be better interpreted, and the overall expressive power of drama can be enhanced.

Desain Karakter Motion Graphic Biografi W.R. Soepratman untuk Anak Muda

In a study, it is stated that Generation Z prefers consuming audio-visual content. In this case, motion graphics can be used as a media to portray the biography of W.R. Soepartman. However, in the motion graphic video, there is still no character design of W.R. Soepratman. Therefore, there is a need for the design of the character of W.R. Soepratman as the main character in the motion graphic video. The character design becomes the visual identity of the character of W.R. Soepratman as well as other characters in the motion graphic video. Therefore, character design becomes an important aspect in the design process and serves as a visual identity to portray the characteristics of W.R. Soepratman. Therefore, research is conducted in an effort to generate design ideas for the character design and develop them into a design concept suitable with motion graphic. The character design in the motion graphic biography of W.R. Soepratman serves as a visual asset that functions as the visual identity of historical figures and characters present in the motion graphics. A simple and minimalist character design is obtained with the primary function of depicting the character. Simple and minimalist character shape form can facilitate the animation process in motion graphics.

Analysis of the Development Path of New Guochao Animated Short Films from the Perspective of Revitalization of Excellent Traditional Culture - Taking "Yao-Chinese Folktales" as an Example

Based on the era background of globalization and digitalization, China is entering a new stage of cultural consciousness and cultural self-confidence, and the national level attaches great importance to and actively promotes the development of Chinese excellent traditional culture. In this context, New Guochao animation short films, as an important carrier of contemporary cultural and creative industries, carry the cultural mission of connecting the past and the future, tradition and modernity. However, the New Guochao animation short film has encountered challenges in the tide of revitalizing traditional culture, mainly due to the problems of single character shaping and lack of plot innovation, such as the weak main story line and the insufficient reflection of the traditional cultural core, the animation expression sticking to the tradition, the development of surrounding commodities lagging behind, restricting the release of market potential. These problems have become the constraints of the development of this type of short film. By deconstructing the successful case of the New Guochao animation short film "Yao-Chinese Folktales", it vividly reveals how the work realizes the organic unity of the inheritance of traditional cultural spirit and modern expression through multiple strategies such as artistic material selection, exquisite story connotation transmission, and creative integration into excellent traditional culture. In the context of the revitalization of excellent traditional culture, in order to seek a sustainable development path, New Guochao animation short films need to adapt to the development characteristics of the context of the revitalization of excellent traditional culture, covering content creation, dissemination channels and target audience positioning.

CharacterMixer: Rig‐Aware Interpolation of 3D Characters

AbstractWe present CharacterMixer, a system for blending two rigged 3D characters with different mesh and skeleton topologies while maintaining a rig throughout interpolation. CharacterMixer also enables interpolation during motion for such characters, a novel feature. Interpolation is an important shape editing operation, but prior methods have limitations when applied to rigged characters: they either ignore the rig (making interpolated characters no longer posable) or use a fixed rig and mesh topology. To handle different mesh topologies, CharacterMixer uses a signed distance field (SDF) representation of character shapes, with one SDF per bone. To handle different skeleton topologies, it computes a hierarchical correspondence between source and target character skeletons and interpolates the SDFs of corresponding bones. This correspondence also allows the creation of a single “unified skeleton” for posing and animating interpolated characters. We show that CharacterMixer produces qualitatively better interpolation results than two state‐of‐the‐art methods while preserving a rig throughout interpolation.

Increasing the species diversity of the monotypic genus Pariolius Cope 1872 (Siluriformes: Heptapteridae) after more than 150 years

Pariolius is a heptapterid genus represented by P. armillatus that is distributed along the upper Amazon River basin. A taxonomic integrative revision of Pariolius from Colombian Rivers revealed two new species. Several approaches as morphological, morphometric, meristic, osteology and molecular data were used to distinguish between Pariolius species. The two new species are distinguished from congeners by the caudal-fin shape and numbers of rays, colorations patterns and several morphometric characters. The two new species of Pariolius are restricted to tributaries of the Upper Orinoco and Upper Negro rivers in Colombia.

EXPERIENCE OF TEACHER COMMUNICATION IN TEACHING CHILDREN WITH DOWN SINDROM (Phenomenological Study on Down Syndrome Children in SLB YPPLB Padang)

Teachers are a central figure in the world of education especially when there is a developing teaching interaction process and are the most responsible for developing learners' potential. A teacher's role in the learning process is crucial to the shaping of a child's character. Teachers directly play a role in influencing what they learn, how they receive learning, and what they look like in interacting in their social lives. The problem in this research is how the teacher's communication experience in teaching a child down syndrome in the SLB YPPLB padang. The research method used is qualitative research. The paradigm used in this study is a constructive paradigm with the phenomenon approaching Edmund husserl. Research shows that the process of communication built into teacher and child down syndrome is pure interpersonal communication. Communication is done in person so that teachers and down syndrome can detect immediate reactions and can provide immediate feedback. The communication process consists of the seven stages, that is; The rendering stage, the encoding stage, the delivery stage, the travel stage, the reception stage, the reverse encoding stage, and the interpretive stage. Then, success in communication came to include five things: Information transparency, empathy, a supportive attitude, a positive attitude, and space. There is a breakdown in communication, that is; Misunderstandings, language differences, and special needs. Nonverbal communication in the study contained attributes, tone of speech, touch, sitting position, and the use of time. The transcendental meaning of the teacher's experience is that of embracing and feeling fulfillment. Keywords: communication experience, teachers, down syndrome, interpersonal communication

‘손(手)’類 部首字 중심의 草書 字形 및 類似 字形에 관한 고찰

This paper studies the cursive script of characters such as 手(Hands), 攴(slaps), 攵(slaps), 支(supports), 又(hands), 爪(nails), 寸(short length), 厶(arms), 力(strength), 文(words), 戈(weapons) and compound characters.
 This paper compares these characters with similar shapes. The meaning and shape of ancient characters have influenced cursive writing. Just organize it briefly.
 Words(‘手’) express the shape of fingers and fists. The shape of cursive script is affected by this. The character(‘攴’, ‘攵’) represents the appearance of holding a stick in hand. ‘戈’ is a weapon used in war. So these words replaced each other in cursive script. The character(‘攴’) appears alternately with this character( ‘力’字, ‘又’字, ‘’字, ‘支’字, ‘弓’字, ‘攵’字, ‘文’字 ). One of these phenomena is that the characters are similar, which is why they appear in cursive script. This character(‘’字, ‘弓’字) is influenced by that character(‘乃’字, ‘’字, ‘’字) and appears in cursive script. The cursive script of this character(‘又’) has also been replaced by that character(‘寸’). Or multiple of these words(‘又’) have been weakened. The cursive strokes of this character(‘爪’) have weakened. Elaborate or express in two points.
 This word(‘寸’) has a curved tail and then narrates together with dots. Or change the position of the point to express it. This character(‘對’) divides the upper part of that character(‘丵’) into three dots according to the ancient script shape. This character(‘厶’) is an old version of this character(‘厷’). This character(‘厷’) appears with that character(‘九’). The reason is that(‘九’) in ancient Chinese characters, this character(‘九’) presents the shape of a human arm, and that character(‘肱’) also presents the shape of a bent arm, so it appears alternately. Because these characters have a common curved shape, which character(‘厷’) is used instead of this one(‘弓’) to express. You can see the appearance of ‘厶’, ‘厷’, ‘弓’, ‘’ from the cursive script. This word(‘力’) expresses human muscles and tendons. These words(攵, 攴, 力) related to hands or arms are mixed together for use. This character(‘文’) also has a similar shape to that character(‘攵’), so it will also appear in cursive script. According to these contents, the characters are influenced by similar characters, ancient characters, and variant characters, appearing in cursive script characters. Exploring similar or ancient character forms can provide a lot of information for distinguishing cursive script forms. By using it, it is possible to provide rich explanations for more glyphs. I hope this will be of great help in understanding the shapes of cursive script.
