Dong Qing Fang’s Musical Depiction of Lin Chong: An Analysis of Chinese Traditional Music Elements in His Cello Composition of 2009
No full textDong Qing Fang (b. 1981) is a prolific composer of cello music. His contribution includes twenty compositions, many of which have been performed around the world.[1] While Fang is the most famous composer in China as well as a leading figure of recent music, his compositions have not been recognized world-wide. This project focuses on his representative cello composition Lin Chong (2009). Lin Chong is a significant character in Chinese literature, known for his role in the classic novel, Water Margin (1524). Fang\u27s musical portrayal of Lin Chong\u27s life incorporates elements of Chinese traditional music.
The methodology for this research comprises interviews with Dong Qing Fang, related literature reviews, analysis of Lin Chong, and a review of published articles about Lin Chong by two authors.[2] The interview with Fang provides valuable insights into his composition process, inspiration, and goals. Reviewing literature related to Lin Chong will assist in recognizing the concepts Fang has employed. This research contains a detailed analysis of Fang\u27s composition, including the background, musical interpretation, compositional techniques, and Chinese traditional music elements. Lastly, the two published articles about Lin Chong by Di and Guan provide additional insights into his work and may help identify new exploration, thereby offering different perspectives on this project.
The research aims to introduce Lin Chongto a broader cello community. This valuable addition to a performers’ repertoire collection provides an opportunity to gain exposure to Chinese literature. Furthermore, the importance of promoting works from underrepresented composers cannot be overstated. By recognizing and performing Fang\u27s compositions, the author hopes to inspire others to explore lesser-known works and composers from various backgrounds. This project aspires to contribute to a more diverse music community that celebrates and promotes all musicians.

Strategic Communications for Influence: Lessons From the Annie E. Casey Foundation and Its KIDS COUNT Initiative
No full text· This article describes how the Annie E. Casey Foundation is using the KIDS COUNT Network in a new way: as a strategic communications tool in its focused efforts toward policy change, broad social change, and improved conditions for vulnerable children and families. An outcome map illustrates links between this strategy and the intended outcomes.
· Case illustrations of KIDS COUNT grantee activities surrounding the release of the 2008 KIDS COUNT Data Book describe the efforts of grantees in six states where the quantity and quality of media coverage surrounding the national data book reflected the kind of coverage that Casey believes will help achieve its desired outcomes.
· Strategic communications approaches such as relationships with journalists, use of locally relevant information, use of locally relevant media advocacy strategies, good preparation, and a solution orientation were present in states demonstrating desirable media coverage.
· Prescribing specific communications tactics matters less than supporting the network’s general capacity to engage in year-round strategic communications approaches to create conditions (e.g., reputations, relationships) that will contribute to successful media advocacy related to a specific event such as the release of the national data book

Anoplophora ankangensis Lin & Lingafelter 2018, comb. nov.
No full textAnoplophora ankangensis (Chiang, 1981) comb. nov. (Figs 5–9) Paranamera ankangensis Chiang, 1981: 82, 84, pl. 1, fig. 10. TL: China, Shaanxi. TD: NWAFU. Paranamera ankangensis: Chiang et al., 1985: 134, pl. IX, fig. 152; Löbl & Smetana, 2010: 284; Lin, 2017: 338, pl. 29, fig. 8. Diagnosis (Lin, 2017). This species is similar to Anoplophora elegans (Gahan, 1888) (Lingafelter & Hoebeke, 2002: 77, pl. 8, fig. a) but without annular pubescence at the apex of each antennomere. It is similar to A. stanleyana Hope, 1839 (Lingafelter & Hoebeke, 2002: 217, pl. 31, figs. d, e, f) and A. birmanica Hüdepohl, 1990 (Lingafelter & Hoebeke, 2002: 80, pl. 10, fig. a), but the yellowish pubescent markings on the pronotum terminate near the middle prothoracic lateral tubercles and lack such yellow pubescence at the basal half. Compared with A. horsfieldii (Hope, 1842) (Lingafelter & Hoebeke, 2002: 86, pl. 13, figs. a, b), the pronotal yellow pubescent markings are larger and only at the apical half, and the yellow elytral pubescent markings have five transverse lines instead of four. Specimens examined. China: 1 female, paratype, Shaanxi, Ankang, host: Prunus persica (Linnaeus) Batsch, 1960 (NWAFU, ex entomological collection of Shaanxi Forestrial Research Institute); 1 male, Shaanxi, Xunyang, 1981. VIII.27, leg. Fangfang She, Congde Lu (NWAFU, CO025460); 1 female, Shaanxi, Xunyang, 1981.VIII, leg. Congde Lu (NWAFU, CO027073); 1 female, Hunan, Hupingshan, Xiangbizigou, 2005. VII.20, leg. Zhao & Li (CBWX). Distribution. China: Henan, Shaanxi, Hunan (new Province record). Host plants ( Chiang, 1981; Tavakilian & Chevillotte, 2018 ). Prunus persica (Linnaeus) Batsch (Rosaceae). Remarks. The holotype is a female from Shaanxi, Ankang, collected in 1960.VII and was deposited in Northwestern Agriculture college (Chiang, 1981). It should be deposited in NWAFU, but the first author did not find the holotype in the main collection of NWAFU during her visit in 2017. It could be in another collection hosted by the Agriculture College (personal communication with Lin Lü, 2017. III.30). Fortunately she found the paratype female, which is also from Shaanxi, Ankang (reported in the Chinese description but missing in the English summary by Chiang, 1981), which indicated that the entomological collection of Shaanxi Forestry Research Institute is deposited in NWAFU. Specimen of Paranamera malaccensis Breuning, 1935 examined. Malaysia: 1 male, Sabah, Crocker Range, vic. Trus Madi, 2000. III.18, leg. Local collector (DJHC). Our examination of the type species of Paranamera Breuning, 1935, P. malaccensis Breuning, 1935, shows that it lacks the common features present in Anoplophora. It lacks a posteromedial pronotal callus (present in most Anoplophora and P. ankangensis Chiang, 1981), it has narrow-based lateral pronotal tubercles that are elevated apically (broad-based lateral pronotal tubercles that are not or very weakly elevated apically are present in most Anoplophora species and P. ankangensis), the scape is cylindrical with a reduced cicatrix and as long as the third antennomere (the scape is enlarged apically with a pronounced cicatrix and distinctly shorter than the third antennomere in Anoplophora and P. ankangensis), the sutural elytral apex is sub-spiniform or acute (rounded apically in Anoplophora and P. ankangensis), and the body is nearly uniformly covered in pubescence (distinct glabrous regions are present in Anoplophora species and P. ankangensis). One additional feature, a strongly emarginate labrum that is present in species of Paranamera (and mentioned in the original description of the genus by Breuning (1935), was the basis for placing P. ankangensis in that genus by Chiang (1981). In most Anoplophora the labrum is shallowly emarginate medially. However, this character is variable among and within species (Lingafelter & Hoebeke, 2002) and should not be used as a basis to exclude P. ankangensis from Anoplophora. Therefore, based on these features, Paranamera ankangensis Chiang, 1981 is transferred to Anoplophora as a new combination. The genus Paranamera Breuning, 1935 now includes three species: P. malaccensis Breuning, 1935 (Malaysia, Malacca, Penang), P. excisa Breuning, 1942 (Indonesia, West Sumatra) and P. oculata Hüdepohl, 1994 (Myanmar, Tenasserim; Thailand, Pak, Chong). We consider that the species P. oculata Hüdepohl, 1994 may need to be transferred from this genus due to its different pronotum and elytral apices, however, we reserve that decision for future study.Published as part of Lin, Mei-Ying & Lingafelter, Steven W., 2018, Taxonomic notes on Chinese Lamiini (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae: Lamiinae), pp. 367-374 in Zootaxa 4482 (2) on pages 370-372, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4482.2.8, http://zenodo.org/record/144065

On Great Nation
No full textAbstractOccupying billions of acres, possessing overwhelming military power and controlling the outer space, even all combined, are still not sufficient to be a true “Great Nation” which can lead the world respectably. Yet a country that only has land of hundred miles can already become a regional or world leader in “new culture” or “high-tech”. The author wishes all nations, no matter they are large or small in territory and population, if they so desire to be a “great nation” or a “world leader” in various regions, they should form their international policies based on humanity, refer to historical lessons, learn from classics, model against paradigm, and use the least time, energy and entropy, to achieve their ideals and goals through honorable just means.At times, in lacking of good working model and practical experience, countries that desire to be a respectable “Great Nation” [3] in various regions, should humbly and practically “touch the stone in water to cross river”. At the same time, the author sincerely advises all the “great powers” will take steps to reduce their destructive maneuverings gradually, and wisely increase more constructive plans and actions compassionately, for their own good and for world peace, harmony and happiness
[[alternative]]Current Rectification with substituted aromatic amine diazonium modified electrodes and photodebromination with photosensitive cobalt complex
No full text[[abstract]]Aromatic amines can be converted to diazonium salts, and can thus be cathodically deposited on carbon electrodes. In the light of this, we prepared chemically modified electrodes (CME) with aromatic amines, such as aniline and p-terphenylamine, via the diazonium pathway, and utilized them to rectify the flow of electric current from electrodes to electrolyte solutions. Experimental results based on cyclic voltammetry (CV), electrochemical quartz-crystal-microbalance analysis (EQCM), electrochemical impedance analysis (EIS), and totally-attenuated- reflectance Infrared absorption spectral (ATR-IR) analysis indicated that the CMEs prepared in this manner seem to be free of pin holes on the electrode surface, and can, in advance, be employed to microsolvate electron mediators, like benzoquinone (BQ), vitamin K3 (VK3) and anthraquinone (AQ), for further applications, such as for current rectification.
Besides, we also attempted to mimic vitamin B12 for the dehalogenation of dibromobutane. Cobalt complexes such as tris(5-aminophenanthroline) cobalt(II) hexafluorophosphate (Co(NH2-phen)32+) show application potential in this aspect. By attaching light-absorption chromophores, like pyrene, with Co(NH2-phen)32+, we, in addition, found that the resultant derivative (denoted py-Co(NH2-phen)32+ ) can be reduced at less negative potential, ca. -0.6 V vs. Ag/AgCl under UV irradiation in DMSO, and then, cause dibromobutane (DBB) to be reductively decomposed into less toxic products.
晏子政治思想研究
No full text[[abstract]]晏子者，春秋齊國之大賢也，名嬰，論平仲，歷事齊靈公、莊公，並為景公相
。其生平與齊之興衰有重要之關係，今其存於後世之言論事遊，無一不與政治攸關
。其人節儉力行，正身導君，危言諫之，不畏權勢，不同邪僻，齊國賴以存，齊民
仰以安。可資後世法誡者眾矣。茲文之作，在彰其德，揚具行，闡其義理，使之昭
明於世也。
全文計分五章，並以附論次於首章，結論總言優劣於末。
首章據左傳、史記、敘錄，述其家世與從政事遊。然此僅足觀其外效，未遑視
其心志，故再據晏子春秋，夷考其處世之態度與修養方法，以為研探其政治思想之
基礎。總為傳略。
首章後附論本文重要材料─晏子春秋─之問題。歷來學者對此書之真偽，流派
多有辯論，眾說紛紊，各是其說，相持不決。本文據王更生先生晏子春秋研究之說
，益以諸家論辯，並旁徵諸籍，參以愚見，為辯此書之真偽，如此書雖非平仲自著
，然其義理尚當，不得以偽書視之。次舉其義理十端，與儒墨相較，祭典比儒舌多
而合墨者寡，雖不必因是而定莫為儒家，然固與儒家為近也。
次章分為二節，剖析其所處地理環境與時代情況、及思想淵源。以推其思想觸
發之由，及立論之基。
第三章言政治思想之學理。夫研究政治思想不可昧乎政冶組織，故本章首論之
，而後分述其德治、禮治、善政、賢治之想源起與結成。共分五節。
第四章分為二節，述其政治方術。其一為平政：晏子以為君欲平政，必先具法
先君王、尚仁義興禮樂、辨義利、愛庶民、和君臣、舉賢能、嚴賞罰諸性行。晏子
又以君統臣，故言君之性行，而臣之性行即在其中矣！其二為和民：君平其政，則
和民如反掌，政治之極在於為民，欲治民使和，必養之教之安之衛之，而後可達。
第五章探尋其政治思想與先秦大儒之關係，及對後世影響之流衍。結論綜評其
政治思想之優點，與未盡縝密之處。其擾固善矣二至未盡縝密之處，時勢使然，未
可深責者也。
