Most of our contributors are appearing in the journal for the first time. Some are well published scholars; others at the beginning of what one may hope will be long and fruitful academic careers. As always, I learned a great deal from working with our authors. If it may seen that the editor is exercising undue privilege in contributing more than one piece this time, that indulgence has been undertaken in one instance as a collaborative venture with a lead- ing specialist and in the other only after having received substantial input from scholars who read the article in advance and encouraged its publication. I have as well decided to inaugurate here a photo essay series featuring important objects of ma- terial culture and art displayed in museums along the “Silk Roads” which I have been privileged to visit, some of them off the map of most tourist itineraries. In many cases these days, of course, museums themselves have developed extensive websites and are putting their collections on-line. Others have yet to do so. These photo essays (best viewed in color in the pdf version of the jour- nal) are but a sampling of a much more extensive collection of photographs which is incrementally being posted to “Silk Road Seattle” (http://depts.washington.edu/silkroad/) as part of its effort to make the arts of the Silk Road more readily available for teaching and study purposes. As in several previous instances, this volume of the journal happens to have a fairly heavy con- centration of material about Mongolia. Readers should keep in mind though that our perspective remains a broad one both geographically and chronologically. To date Western Asia has been under-represented here, something that we may hope to remedy in the future. As one who has recently returned from a month in Iran and is expecting to spend additional time in the Middle East this year, I am developing an ever greater appreciation for the idea that the Silk Roads are much more than the routes of exchange affecting East and Central Asia. The only way the journal can continue to be a success and maintain a broad perspective is by receiving good submissions for future issues. While our target audience is still a general one, the journal welcomes a range of contributions. We expect to continue to publish work by established specialists, but also welcome work by others who can contribute carefully crafted articles of gener- al interest. New discoveries, of course, are most welcome, but good summaries of existing knowl- edge may have their place too. As I write these lines, next year’s volume of the journal is still wide open for contributions, which should be in my hands no later than the beginning of summer 2011. We can offer the advantage of a generally short turn-around time between submission and pub- lication, unlike the case of academic journals and edited volumes where a year or two (or even much longer) is the norm. I am happy to help authors for whom writing in English is a challenge, although I will not translate articles (Russian being an exception) which have been written in other languages. If you have questions about submissions, send them to the editor; also look at the new guidelines which have been posted to the Silkroad Foundation’s website at the URL listed on the previous page. — Daniel C.

  • Middlemen and Marcher States in Central Asia and East/West Empire Synchrony Christopher Chase-Dunn, Thomas D
    Middlemen and marcher states in Central Asia and East/West Empire Synchrony Christopher Chase-Dunn, Thomas D. Hall, Richard Niemeyer, Alexis Alvarez, Hiroko Inoue, Kirk Lawrence, Anders Carlson, Benjamin Fierro, Matthew Kanashiro, Hala Sheikh-Mohamed and Laura Young Institute for Research on World-Systems University of California-Riverside Draft v.11 -1-06, 8365 words Abstract: East, West, Central and South Asia originally formed somewhat separate cultural zones and networks of interaction among settlements and polities, but during the late Bronze and early Iron Ages these largely separate regional systems came into increasing interaction with one another. Central Asian nomadic steppe pastoralist polities and agricultural oasis settlements mediated the East/West and North/South interactions. Earlier research has discovered that the growth/decline phases of empires in East and West Asia became synchronous around 140 BCE and that this synchrony lasted until about 1800 CE. This paper develops the comparative world-systems perspective on Central Asia and examines the growth and decline of settlements, empires and steppe confederations in Central Asia to test the hypothesis that the East/West empire synchrony may have been caused by linkages that occurred with and across Central Asia. To be presented at the Research Conference on Middlemen Co-sponsored by the All-UC Economic History and All-UC World History Groups, November 3-5, 2006, UCSD IROWS Working Paper #30. http://irows.ucr.edu/papers/irows30/irows30.htm This paper is part of a larger research project on “Measuring and modeling cycles of state formation, decline and upward sweeps since the Bronze Age” NSF-SES 057720 http://irows.ucr.edu/research/citemp/citemp.html Earlier research has demonstrated a curious East/West synchrony from 140 BCE to 1800 CE.

  • The New Research of Tuva
    НОВЫЕ ИССЛЕДОВАНИЯ ТУВЫ THE NEW RESEARCH OF TUVA www.nit.tuva.asia №1 2021 Novye issledovaniia Tuvy DOI: 10.25178/nit.2021.1.5 Article The Scythian Stag in Contemporary Arts and Craft: Tuva and Abroad Katherine Zeahan Leung Independent scholar, USA The article examines the interest in Scythian imagery and motifs in contemporary arts and crafts, both in Tuva and outside Russia, on a surge after the excavation of Arzhan II burial site. As proved by numerous references, the most popular of the Arzhan II finds was the stylized image of the Scythian stag on a golden hair pin. It has since appeared on the photo taken by Russian photographer Andrei Bronnikov, whose main subject is jewelry. Tattoo artists in English-speaking regions have seen an uptick in customers requesting Scythian stag tattoo designs, due in large part to the discovery of the popularly dubbed “Ukok Princess” and increase in interest in prehistoric fantasy media. Russian-speaking fashion designers redefine textile and ornament in the twenty-first century, influenced by the golden accents of the looped stag in their work, at times inventing an embellished narrative of the past. Folk crafters have created costume and jewelry designs for a different world they wish to inhabit, even creating alter-egos and stories that accompany Scythian-inspired pieces. Finally, within Tuva, wood carving continues thanks to trailblazers that promote folk handicrafts through education and archival work. Artists around the world are fascinated by this unique relic of the past and employ the symbol in romantic imaginings of their past and present.

  • Prevalence, Risk Factors and Symptoms Associated to Intestinal Parasite Infections Among Patients with Gastrointestinal Disorders in Nahavand, Western Iran
    Rev. Inst. Med. Trop. Sao Paulo 2016;58:42 http://dx.doi.org/10.1590/S1678-9946201658042 ORIGINAL ARTICLE PREVALENCE, RISK FACTORS AND SYMPTOMS ASSOCIATED TO INTESTINAL PARASITE INFECTIONS AMONG PATIENTS WITH GASTROINTESTINAL DISORDERS IN NAHAVAND, WESTERN IRAN Hamed KIANI(1,2), Ali HAGHIGHI(1), Ali ROSTAMI(1), Eznollah AZARGASHB(2,3), Seyyed Javad SEYYED TABAEI(1), Abbas SOLGI(4) & Nozhat ZEBARDAST(1) SUMMARY We studied the prevalence of intestinal parasites (IPs), their risk factors and associated symptoms among patients with gastrointestinal disorders. A total of 1,301 participants aged 22 days-90 years were enrolled in this study. We used a structured questionnaire to obtain socio-demographic and stool examination to investigate intestinal parasite infections. Data analysis was performed using SPSS16. The overall prevalence of intestinal parasites (IPs) was 32.2% (419/1,301). Three hundred and fifty nine cases/1,301 (27.6%) were infected with a single parasite and 60/1,301 cases (4.6%) presented polyparasitism. The most common IP was Blastocystis sp. 350/1,301 (26.9%), followed by Entamoeba coli 38/1,301 (2.92%), Giardia lamblia 30/1,301 (2.3%) and Cryptosporidium spp. 17/1,301 (1.3%). Regarding the socio-demographic variables, educational status (p = 0.001), contact with domestic animals and soil (p = 0.02), age above 15 years (p = 0.001) and seasons (p = 0.001) were significantly associated to intestinal parasitic infections. Concerning clinical characteristics, the presence of IPs was significantly associated to diarrhea (OR = 1.57; CI 95% = 1.24-1.98; p < 0.001) and dysentery (OR = 1.94; CI 95% = 1.03-3.66; p < 0.04).

  • The Sui Dynasty and the Western Regions
    SINO-PLATONIC PAPERS Number 247 April, 2014 The Sui Dynasty and the Western Regions by Yu Taishan Victor H. Mair, Editor Sino-Platonic Papers Department of East Asian Languages and Civilizations University of Pennsylvania Philadelphia, PA 19104-6305 USA vmair@sas.upenn.edu www.sino-platonic.org SINO-PLATONIC PAPERS FOUNDED 1986 Editor-in-Chief VICTOR H. MAIR Associate Editors PAULA ROBERTS MARK SWOFFORD ISSN 2157-9679 (print) 2157-9687 (online) SINO-PLATONIC PAPERS is an occasional series dedicated to making available to specialists and the interested public the results of research that, because of its unconventional or controversial nature, might otherwise go unpublished. The editor-in-chief actively encourages younger, not yet well established, scholars and independent authors to submit manuscripts for consideration. Contributions in any of the major scholarly languages of the world, including romanized modern standard Mandarin (MSM) and Japanese, are acceptable. In special circumstances, papers written in one of the Sinitic topolects (fangyan) may be considered for publication. Although the chief focus of Sino-Platonic Papers is on the intercultural relations of China with other peoples, challenging and creative studies on a wide variety of philological subjects will be entertained. This series is not the place for safe, sober, and stodgy presentations. Sino- Platonic Papers prefers lively work that, while taking reasonable risks to advance the field, capitalizes on brilliant new insights into the development of civilization. Submissions are regularly sent out to be refereed, and extensive editorial suggestions for revision may be offered. Sino-Platonic Papers emphasizes substance over form.

  • Buddhist Adoption in Asia, Mahayana Buddhism First Entered China
    Buddhist adoption in Asia, Mahayana Buddhism first entered China through Silk Road. Blue-eyed Central Asian monk teaching East-Asian monk. A fresco from the Bezeklik Thousand Buddha Caves, dated to the 9th century; although Albert von Le Coq (1913) assumed the blue-eyed, red-haired monk was a Tocharian,[1] modern scholarship has identified similar Caucasian figures of the same cave temple (No. 9) as ethnic Sogdians,[2] an Eastern Iranian people who inhabited Turfan as an ethnic minority community during the phases of Tang Chinese (7th- 8th century) and Uyghur rule (9th-13th century).[3] Buddhism entered Han China via the Silk Road, beginning in the 1st or 2nd century CE.[4][5] The first documented translation efforts by Buddhist monks in China (all foreigners) were in the 2nd century CE under the influence of the expansion of the Kushan Empire into the Chinese territory of the Tarim Basin under Kanishka.[6][7] These contacts brought Gandharan Buddhist culture into territories adjacent to China proper. Direct contact between Central Asian and Chinese Buddhism continued throughout the 3rd to 7th century, well into the Tang period. From the 4th century onward, with Faxian's pilgrimage to India (395–414), and later Xuanzang (629–644), Chinese pilgrims started to travel by themselves to northern India, their source of Buddhism, in order to get improved access to original scriptures. Much of the land route connecting northern India (mainly Gandhara) with China at that time was ruled by the Kushan Empire, and later the Hephthalite Empire. The Indian form of Buddhist tantra (Vajrayana) reached China in the 7th century.
