Becoming Organizers: The Case of the “Youth for Lo-Sheng Sanatorium”(2004-2014)
No full text這是一個探討組織者如何經營社運組織的研究。這項研究始於一個簡單的提問：「誰來做組織？」，更精確來說是「社運組織如何召募、培訓與輪替組織者？」。研究對象是樂生療養院保留運動中在院民及其自救會之外，最重要的社運組織－－「青年樂生聯盟」（2004∼2014），本研究認為青年樂生聯盟（以下簡稱樂青）在長達十年的運動歷程中，成功發展出另類組織典範，成為過去十年來在臺灣社運部門中最重要的新生社運組織之一。 本研究將研究問題拆解成三部分回答。首先，樂青如何持續召募新人？樂青透過與大學社團Z社建立獨特而穩定的聯繫管道得以持續召慕新人，經歷組織運作方式不同的衝突與磨合後，樂青逐漸發展出相對明確而穩定的召募程序：「實習階段、現役樂青推薦、例會通過、正式加入」。 再者，樂青如何培訓新人？樂青透過「集體決策，輪流實作」落實內部民主原則，在日常運作中即嚴格採取輪流分工培訓新進成員，確保新人得以有機會接觸不同分工位置、培養相關技能，當然不是所有組織工作都能迅速上手，有些工作難以培訓，需要長期的互動與磨練才能夠掌握。 最後，樂青如何因應組織者的去留問題？組織者「持續參與」同一個社運組織，往往並非常態，而是可能離開組織或轉換到不同社運組織。具體來說，樂青成員可能會因為「路線差異」、「意見分歧」、「人際互動」、「運動傷害」、「生涯規劃」和「找不到戰鬥位置」等六類因素離開組織，並且不同因素的離開會影響是否可能重回組織，據此發展出「離開」、「曾經離開」、「轉換」等不同的參與軌跡。 本研究的結論，嘗試將樂青個案放置到臺灣整體的社會社運部門歷史脈絡中檢視。延伸Verta Taylor的論點，指出社運組織不僅對其所屬運動本身有長期延續的支持作用，甚至對於整體社運部門也有延續作用，據此，我們可以說樂青是臺灣社運部門沉潛期的重要承載者，在既有社運組織因民進黨首次執政陷入「空洞化」危機時，橫空出世的樂青沒有經驗也沒有歷史包袱，反而開創出另類組織運作與行動方式，成為接下來十年青年學生積極參與社運的重要先行典範。This research aimed to get a better knowledge of how organizers run a social movement organization. To be more specific, how do they recruiting, training, and replacing organizers? This research focused on the case of “Youth for Lo-Sheng Sanatorium” (2004-2014), which was one of the most successful newborn social movement organizations in past ten years in Taiwan. Main research discoveries summoned up to four points below. Firstly, “Youth for Lo-Sheng Sanatorium” successfully got connected to an student activist club called“Z Club”(pseudonym) in a university, so they can constantly recruit people from it. Secondly, “Youth for Lo-Sheng Sanatorium” trained beginners to be versatile rather than specialized. All the beginners had to learn to be an organizer by doing different kinds of the organizational work, and they divided the work by taking turns. So, all the beginners would have chances to do master different skills an organizer need to have. Though there were some kind of the organizational work which need a very long time to master, which could not be mastered only through a few time exercise. Thirdly, members of “Youth for Lo-Sheng Sanatorium” mainly withdrew from the organization for six kinds of reasons, which included “burn out”, “career plan”, “divergent doctrines”, “divergent opinions”, “quarrels”, and“felt no place in the organization”, and sometimes they went back after a while, sometimes they never went back, which constituted different trajectories of participation, such as “transfer”, “individual abeyance”, and “disengagement”. Finally, this research tried to argue that “Youth for Lo-Sheng Sanatorium” is the importer carrier of the social movement sector when other established social movement organizations goes quiet when the Democratic Progress Party first time won the presidency. Though the newborn“Youth for Lo-Sheng Sanatorium” lacking experiences, they had successfully developing a new model of running a social movement organization which influenced lots of forthcoming young activists
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
Full text link“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Full text linkWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Full text linkWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
koamabayili/VECTRON-author-checklist: VECTRON author checklist
No full textWe have done our best to complete the author checklist relating to the use of animals in the hut study. Note that the objective for the hut study was to evaluate the IRS treatment applications for residual efficacy against Anopheles mosquitoes, including the local An. coluzzii mosquito population. Cows were only used to attract mosquitoes into the huts and no tests were carried out directly on the cows. The author checklist is intended for use with studies where experiments are carried out on animals, which is why we have had such difficulty in completing this for the hut study, as many of the questions do not relate to how the cows were used

Author Under Sail The Imagination of Jack London, 1893-1902
No full textIn Author Under Sail, Jay Williams offers the first complete literary biography of Jack London as a professional writer engaged in the labor of writing. It examines the authorial imagination in London's work, the use of imagination in both his fiction and nonfiction, and the ways he defined imagination in the creative process in his business dealings with his publishers, editors, and agents. In this first volume of a two-volume biography, Williams traverses the years 1893 to 1902, from London's "Story of a Typhoon" to The People of the Abyss. The Jack London who emerges in the pages of Author Under Sail is a writer whose partnership with publishers, most notably his productive alliance with George Brett of Macmillan, was one of the most formative in American literary history. London pioneered many author models during the heyday of realism and naturalism, blurring the boundaries of these popular genres by focusing on absorption and theatricality and the representation of the seen and unseen. London created an impassioned, sincere, and extremely personal realism unlike that of other American writers of the time. Author Under Sail is a literary tour de force that reveals the full range of London as writer, creative citizen, and entrepreneur at the same time it sheds light on the maverick side of machine-age literature.Intro -- Title Page -- Copyright Page -- Dedication -- Contents -- Acknowledgments -- Introduction -- 1.
