“Chukhyang – ‘Bamboo Fragrance’ – kisaeng Poet and Painter of 19th Century Chosŏn Korea”,
No full textThe present article reconstructs inasmuch as primary sources allow, the life and artistic achievements of Chukhyang, a kisaeng-poet-painter of 19th century Korea, via philologically tracing and reconstructing, in primary sources, written accounts by persons who met her or knew her works of art. Chukhyang’s contacts with important Korean artists of the nineteenth century – like Sin Wi and Kim Chŏnghŭi – are already well known in academic circles, but in this article, I produce new evidence with regard to the artistic and poetic contribution made by Chukhyang in literary and intellectual circles of mid-19th century Korea.
In my article, I quote new sources on Chukhyang, through which I am able to confirm her artistic talent, as well as discover the existence of a poetry collection written by her - unfortunately not surviving today. Being one of only four women poets anthologized in the most important Korean poetry collection of the nineteenth century, the P’ungyo samsŏn (which contains her only three surviving poems) is but a confirmation of the appreciation and favourable reception of her poetic talent among her peers. She is also quoted by the scholar Han Chaerak as one of the most famous beauties in the glittering and at the same time intellectual world of kisaeng in Pyongyang
L’interpretariato giuridico italiano-cinese: raccolta terminologica, traduzione e glossario
No full textIn today’s Italy, due to the phenomena of immigration and integration, institutions must cater to a population that is becoming increasingly varied in terms of cultures and languages. In the legal sector, courts need to employ professionals trained in interpreting the specialized language used in criminal proceedings, but the role of legal interpreter is still ill-defined both in terms of qualifications and training needed to properly carry out the job. In addition to linguistic and technical competences, the interpretation of legal language requires skills developed in the fields of comparative law and translation studies. Interpreting between Italian and Chinese in criminal proceedings is no different, and learners of Chinese as a second language who wish to work in Italian courts are required to fill the gaps in the acquisition of this foreign language by acquiring highly specialized knowledge.
This paper aims to introduce the Italian-Chinese glossary of common terminology in criminal proceedings – an experimental collection of terms and formulas selected based on the characteristics of penal trials in Italian courts and translated from Italian into Chinese for the benefit of interpreters. Pertaining to the field of research on Chinese for specific purposes, the Glossary is part of a broader ongoing project aiming to define the features of legal Chinese and develop strategies for its study. The paper will explore the social and academic reasons that inspired the elaboration of the Glossary, its theoretical and methodological bases, and the preliminary findings contained therein
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
