On the Study of Design Methodology for Assistive Technology Devices
No full text本研究以Pahl及Beitz的系統化設計流程為發展基礎，將輔具的設計流程分成四個階段，藉由具有工程背景的人員實地參與輔具的服務流程，與醫療人員共同組成跨領域的輔具服務與設計團隊，建構一適用於輔具設計的流程與工具，將設計活動整合於輔具服務流程之中，透過即時性的資訊溝通與回饋，改善工程人員與治療師的互動關係。本研究以個案的需求為設計中心，利用HAAT模式將所有的輔具服務流程關係人、活動及情境的需求一併納入設計階段考量，確實掌握個案全面性的需求，並分析市面相關的輔具特性，作為擬定設計規格之參考項目；最後，提供一具體的輔具設計步驟，配合問答式表格及相關的設計工具，如：失效模式與效應分析、通用設計原則等，將有助於工程人員迅速融入輔具的服務團隊，進而發揮工程整合與設計的能力，協助輔具的安裝、訓練及持續性的追蹤輔具使用情形，強化輔具的設計與服務品質，以提升身心障礙者的獨立性，改善其生活品質及社會地位。Although therapists lack the ability, engineers can resolve Assistive Technology (AT) devices-related design problems. However, engineering background personnel do not participate in AT design, making it not only extremely difficult to form a multi-disciplinary AT service team with medical professionals, but also impossible to follow concrete AT design procedures and principles. Therefore, this work presents a rational AT design method in which AT design activities are integrated into the service. While the Pahl and Beitz systematic design method is adopted, the AT design process is divided into four stages. User needs are then incorporated as the design focus, while considering the needs of the stakeholders of the AT services, activities and the contexts of these four design stages to obtain user needs comprehensively. Next, characteristic analysis of the commercially available AT devices is performed to implement design activities. The proposed AT design method can yield the information instantaneity from the feedback of the end user, thus enhancing how engineers and medical professionals interact with each other. Besides strengthening the quality of AT design and services, the proposed method can encourage the independent lifestyles of the people with disability and improve their quality of life.誌謝 I

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
No full textThe 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
No full text“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
No full textWe 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
No full textWe 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.
