The Use of Nanyang han dynasty stone carved’ Mythological Elements in Printmaking Desiqns
Get PDFIntroduction: The Nanyang Han pictorial stones, a significant cultural legacy from the Han Dynasty, are rich in mythological and symbolic content. These pictographs offer a profound insight into ancient Chinese conceptions of life, nature, and the cosmos, depicted through refined lines and vibrant imagery. While these mythological elements are celebrated for their artistic and historical significance, they remain underexplored in modern art, particularly in printmaking design. Printmaking, rooted in Chinese engraving traditions, has evolved as a conduit for cultural expression, blending traditional motifs with contemporary aesthetics. Integrating the mythological components of Han pictographs into modern printmaking offers a pathway to culturally enriched art that resonates with contemporary audiences.
Methods: This study analyzed the mythological themes and artistic techniques of Nanyang Han pictorial stones, focusing on their line, surface, and spatial representations. Key visual elements, such as celestial figures, symbolic animals, and mythical beings, were examined for their design potential in modern printmaking. Through comparative analysis, the study explored how traditional motifs align with the structural and aesthetic principles of modern graphic design. Case studies involving reinterpretations of specific pictorial elements were also conducted to demonstrate their integration into contemporary printmaking.
Results: The results revealed a strong compatibility between the structural simplicity and symbolic strength of Han pictographs and modern printmaking techniques. Key similarities were identified in the use of lines, dots, and spatial composition, demonstrating the potential of Han pictographs to enrich the visual impact and cultural depth of contemporary print designs. The application of mythological motifs provided an aesthetic that both respects traditional forms and innovates within a modern design framework, offering a means of cultural transmission through visual storytelling.
Conclusion: Incorporating the mythological elements of Nanyang Han pictorial stones into modern printmaking design represents a promising strategy for preserving and revitalizing traditional Chinese art. By translating historical symbols and styles into contemporary forms, designers can bridge cultural heritage with modern aesthetics, fostering a deeper cultural resonance and engagement with the art. This study underscores the importance of cultural continuity in art and presents a viable model for integrating traditional mythological themes into modern design practice

Leather substitute based on natural black cabuya fiber (agave cordillerensis)
Get PDFBlack cabuya (Agave cordillerensis) is a rosette plant that is easily found in the inter-Andean zone of Ecuador and is used for therapeutic and food purposes. Since ancient times, mechanical treatments have been used to obtain fibers, which are generally used in the manufacture of ropes, sacks, and thin fabric production. In this research, the high percentage of fiber in black cabuya (Agave cordillerensis) was used to obtain a leather substitute. For the treatment of the fiber, a mechanical technique using blows was used, which was noted for being economical since it was not necessary to perform a bleaching process on the obtained fiber. For the formulation of the leather substitute, different percentages of fiber were used (30%, 50% and 60%), in addition, the distribution of the fiber was taken into consideration (random, 45º and 90º) to make a fabric, which was covered by a mixture of resins (RD-A and RD-U). The best formulation was 50% polyester with a thickness of 0.05 mm, 50% black cabuya fiber woven completely at random with a thickness of 0.03 mm and 25 ml of RD-A and RD-U resins. Mechanical tests of elongation, lastometry and tension were carried out on the obtained product. The results of the mechanical tests demonstrated that black cabuya fiber (Agave cordillerensis) is a suitable raw material for obtaining a leather substitute since, in the production process, environmental pollution is considerably minimized
Application of Activated Carbon from Cabuya Negra (Agave americana L.) for Diuron Adsorption in Aqueous Solutions: A Sustainable Alternative for Wastewater Treatment
Get PDFThe Cabuya Negra (Agave americana L.) is widely distributed in South America and is considered a perennial plant due to its adaptability to dry and arid climates. It grows and develops extensively, mainly being used to delineate land boundaries. This study aimed to repurpose this biomass through the production of activated carbon as an adsorbent material for the removal of Diuron from aqueous solutions. The activated carbon was found to contain functional groups such as methyl, carbonyl, and hydroxyl, and the presence of phosphorus bonds was also observed, confirming the effectiveness of the chemical activation process using phosphoric acid. EDS analysis revealed that the activated carbon was primarily composed of carbon (85.68%), with a low ash content (11.8%), indicating that a significant portion of the organic material was consumed during the pyrolysis process. Two Diuron solutions (100 mL and 50 mL) were prepared, to which 0.25 g and 0.5 g of activated carbon were added. The adsorbent demonstrated high efficiency in Diuron removal, with the best treatment achieving 63.39% removal using 0.25 g of activated carbon with 100 mL of Diuron solution. These findings demonstrate that the activated carbon obtained is a viable alternative for the removal of this herbicide from aqueous solutions

After applying quality approval according to the PRISMA 2020 protocol, 21 articles were identified for inclusion in the SLR. Results: The thematic analysis of the data revealed four emerging themes: individual factors, family engagement, peer affiliation, and school climate. These four themes were divided into 14 sub-themes. The findings from this SLR indicate that the factors contributing to cyberbullying perpetration are varied and unique to the local population. Understanding the causes of bullying is crucial for developing effective intervention programs. Conclusion: This review will provide valuable insights into how stakeholders can effectively address and mitigate cyberbullying behavior among students
Analysis of Welfare-Improving Rules of Origin in Free Trade Agreements: The Case of Buyer Monopoly by Region\u27s Final Goods Producers
Get PDFThis paper analyzes the effects of rules of origin in free trade agreements on economic welfare and the optimal level of rules of origin. In a situation where final goods producers monopolize intermediate goods produced in the region, a marginal increase in the level of the rules of origin reduces the monopoly power of final goods producers. It increases the economic welfare of the region. In this case, it is also possible to establish a free trade zone that does not reduce the economic welfare of countries outside the region and does not reduce the economic welfare of the world as a whole
