    Impact of COVID-19 on International Silk Industry and Consumer Market Trends International Silk Union Secretariat April 29, 2020 Hangzhou China For the silk industry, every crisis is also a turning point, which can accelerate the innovative development and transformation. In 1845, the pebrine disease of Bombyx mori first broke out in Vaucluse, France, and then spread all over the world. It brought a devastating blow to the production in major sericulture countries and regions like Europe, Japan and China. Under the effort of well-known microbiologist Louis Pasteur and other scientists, they used the selection method to control microbial infections, the hazard rate of silkworm disease in most sericulture countries reduced from 20% in the mid-19th century to the level of 1%, which renewed confidence in the silk industry. The silk industry in France, China, Japan, India and other countries achieved sustainable development. The COVID-19 has been fierce since early 2020, international silk industry and consumer market have been severely hit. China, Italy, France, Brazil and other major silk producers/consumers have been severely affected by the epidemic. Enterprises in various countries faced more difficulties in epidemic prevention, resumption of work, orders, and markets, both the upstream and downstream industries of silk are facing a serious crisis. However, the outbreak of COVID-19 also prompts changes in the silk marketing channels and consumption patterns. Many companies combine the Internet and new technologies to innovate and develop, transform and upgrade to adapt to market changes, fighting the economic crisis brought about by the epidemic. In order to fully understand the impact of COVID-19 on the international silk industry, study the future trends of the silk industry and consumption, from March 11 1 to April 10, 2020, International Silk Union(ISU) launched the research of Impact of COVID-19 on International Silk Industry and Consumer Market Trends.

  • Kambujadesa Which Forms the Subject-Matter of This Course of Lectures
    PREFACE In July 1942 I was invited by the university of Madras to deliver a course of lectures under the Sir William Meyer (Endowment) Lectureship, 1942-43. These lectures are published here in the form in which I delivered them, early in March 1943, with the addition of the footnotes and a list of Inscriptions, on which the study of the subject is primarily based. The scope and object of these lectures have been sufficiently indicated at the beginning of Lecture I, and I shall consider my labours amply rewarded if they serve to awaken an interest in, and promote the study of a highly important but little-known subject. The series of works on ancient Indian colonisation in the Far East which I planned nearly twenty years ago have not yet been completed. Three volumes dealing with Champa (Annam) and Suvarniadvipa (Malayasia) are out, the and remaining two volumes dealing with Kambuja (Cambodia) , Burma and Siam still await publication. These two volumes will deal more comprehensively with the subject covered by these lectures. In view of the present situation in the country, it is diffi- cult to say when, if ever, those two volumes will see the light of the day. Till then, the present work may be regarded as completing the series of my studies on the history of ancient Indian colonies in the Far East. As inscriptions have been frequently referred to in the course of these lectures, I have added at the end a list of old Kambuja inscriptions, arranged chronologically as far as possible. The serial number is quoted in the text against each inscription to enable the reader to find out the necessary details by a reference to the list.

Chandler This paper will be concerned with invocations to local spirits, known generically as me sa, which are found in two Cambodian .texts: one dating from 18591 and the other, printed in 1946, dating at least from the 1880s,2 Halfway through the month of srap (July-August) 1859, the Cam­ bodian king Duang (r. 1848-1860) sponsored a ceremony at his capital, Udong, to cleanse his kingdom of demerit by offering gifts to its guardian deities and spirits, summoned by name in prayers recited by his court brahmans, or baku. Another purpose of the ceremony, normally conducted somewhat earlier in the year, was to ask these guardians for rain. 3 *In writing this paper, I have benefited greatly from correspondence and discussions with R.I.
