  • The Evolution of Malaysian Cartoon Animation
    THE EVOLUTION OF MALAYSIAN CARTOON ANIMATION Faryna Mohd Khalis Normah Mustaffa Mohd Nor Shahizan Ali Neesa Ameera Mohamed Salim [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected] ABSTRACT A cartoon can be defined as an unrealistic style of sketching and or funny figures that can make people laugh. Aside from entertainment purposes, cartoons are also used to send messages without a serious tone and indirectly telling something sarcastically. In April 2019, Malaysia was shocked by the headline that ‘Doraemon’ had been selected to represent the Japanese themed cartoon exhibition in conjunction with Visit Malaysia 2020. Malaysian art activists, specifically those who has a cartoon animation background, were very upset and expressed their dissatisfaction with the news. Local legendary cartoonist Datuk Lat also showed his disappointment and made a stand that a local cartoon character should have been chosen to represent Malaysia. Therefore, this research aims to illustrate the development of Malaysian cartoons from when they first started in newspapers, until their existence today in the form of animation on digital platforms. In sequence, Malaysia produced cartoons in newspapers, magazines, blogs, television and cinema, whereby this is in parallel with the development of technology. From hand- drawn art for ‘Usop Sontorian’ to digital animation for the film ‘Upin dan Ipin’, Malaysians should be more appreciative and proud of our local cartoons rather than those from other countries. Keywords: Local identity, Characteristic, Animation, Comic, Character design. Introduction Cartoons are fundamentally known as entertainment for kids. But due to cultural values, technological development and education, our cliché perception has changed to that cartoons are actually a source of effective communication for all ages (Muliyadi, 2001, 2010, 2015).

  • Effect of Modified Pomace on Copper Migration Via Riverbank Soil in Southwest China
    Effect of modified pomace on copper migration via riverbank soil in southwest China Lingyuan Chen1,*, Touqeer Abbas2,*, Lin Yang1, Yao Xu1, Hongyan Deng1, Lei Hou3 and Wenbin Li1 1 College of Environmental Science and Engineering, China West Normal University, Nanchong, China 2 Zhejiang Provincial Key Laboratory of Agricultural Resources and Environment, Hangzhou, China 3 College of Resources & Environment, Tibet Agricultural and Animal Husbandry University, Nyingchi, China * These authors contributed equally to this work. ABSTRACT To explore the effects of modified pomace on copper migration via the soil on the banks of the rivers in northern Sichuan and Chongqing, fruit pomace (P) and ethylene diamine tetra-acetic acid (EDTA) modified P (EP) were evenly added (1% mass ratio) to the soil samples of Guanyuan, Nanbu, Jialing, and Hechuan from the Jialing River; Mianyang and Suining from the Fu River; and Guangan and Dazhou from the Qu River. The geochemical characteristics and migration rules of copper in different amended soils were simulated by column experiment. Results showed that the permeation time of copper in each soil column was categorized as EP-amended > P-amended > original soil, and the permeation time of amended soil samples at different locations was Jialing > Suining > Mianyang > Guangan > Dazhou > Nanbu > Guanyuan > Hechuan. Meanwhile, the average flow rate of copper in each soil column showed a reverse trend with the permeation time. Copper in exchangeable, carbonate, and iron–manganese oxide forms decreased with the increase of vertical depth in the soil column, among which the most evident decreases appeared in the carbonate-bonding form. The copper accumulation in different Submitted 8 October 2020 Accepted 1 July 2021 locations presented a trend of Jialing > Suining > Mianyang > Guangan > Dazhou > Published 27 July 2021 Nanbu > Guangyuan > Hechuan, and the copper content under the same soil showed Corresponding author EP-amended > P-amended > original soil.

  • Eastern Han Dynasty Cliff Tombs of Santai Xian, Sichuan Province
    EASTERN HAN DYNASTY CLIFF TOMBS OF SANTAI XIAN, SICHUAN PROVINCE BY SUSAN N. ERICKSON (University of Michigan – Dearborn) Abstract Rock-cut tombs were a popular choice for burial during the Eastern Han dynasty in Sichuan province. A number of sites in Santai Xian in the Qijiang area have yielded this type of tomb, featuring multiple chambers excavated deep into the cliffs. Many of these tombs have pseudo-architectural elements and wall decorations, with applied pig- ment still intact in some cases. This article explores the kinds of architectural structures that were copied in these tombs and the meaning of the décor that is carved in relief or painted on interior walls. Basic characteristics The cliff tombs of Santai Xian三台縣 exemplify the preferred type of tomb in Sichuan province during the Eastern Han dynasty (AD 25–220). Rock-cut tombs in other areas of Sichuan, including those at Leshan 樂山 and Pengshan 彭山, are better known since they were published by Western scholars in the early twentieth century (Torrance 1910 and 1930–1931; Ségalen 1915 and 1917; Ségalen et al. 1923; Bishop 1916; Bedford 1937; and Edwards 1954; for a very early account, see Baber 1882). Luo Erhu has grouped the cliff tombs in Sichuan into three geographic regions: the Chengdu 成都 Plain, the lower Min River 岷 江 valley where Leshan is located, and the middle Fu River 涪江 valley (Luo 1988b:163). This paper focuses on the rock-cut tombs of northern Santai Xian (Nanmingzhen 南溟 (明) 鎮) in the vicinity of the Fu River, as well as those of the southern part of the county (Anjuzhen 安居鎮) along the Qi River (郪江) and Jin River (錦江) (Figure 1: map).
