A Study on the English Translation of Fu Ping from the Perspective of Translator Behavior Criticism
Full text linkFu Ping is a Chinese novel written by Wang Anyi. It’s a story of the country girl named Fu Ping, who settled down in Shanghai and found her true self. Taking Fu Ping’s life as the perspective, the novel depicts a series of characters who have endured the hardships and yearned for the city life, thus painting a vivid picture of the mundane, delicate, and down-to-earth life of the lower class people in Shanghai. Using Translation Behavior Criticism as the tool, this paper analyses the translator behavior reflected in the English translation of Fu Ping. The translation maintains the Chinese culture of the source language and respects the writing style of the original. At the same time, it considers the readers of the target language, producing a translation which is in accordance with the poetics of the target language.The translation methods, translation strategies and translator behavior of Howard Goldblatt are described and presented on a whole by utilizing the theoretical framework of Zhou Lingshun’ s Translator Behavior Criticism
The Fu-ping 府兵 System under the Reign of Emperor Hsüan-tsung of the T'ang China as Reflected in the Documents Discovered in Central Asia (cont.)
Full text linkThe fu-ping 府兵 system, neatly laid out on paper, had to suffer considerable adaptations in its actual enforcement. P’u-chang-fu 蒲昌府 started out as a che-chung-fu 折衝府 to answer the need for local recruitment of soldiers arising from a prolonged military occupation since the conquest of the Kingdom of Kao-ch’ang 高昌 by the T’ang army in 640. This organization, supposedly subordinate to Yü-ch’ien-wei 玉鈐衛 in the imperial capital, had its soldiers serving beacon fires (feng 烽), forts (hsü 戌) or garrisons (cheng 鎮) in the Turfan district, instead of serving as wei-shih衛士 in the capital. The wei-shih, which had originally meant imperial guard, became a general term for the fu-ping soldier, in the early part of the T’ang period, while the term fang-jen 防人 supposed to mean the border guardsman, was not in actual use. This may mean that since early times only the che-chung-fu closer to the capital supplied imperial guardsmen while remoter ones sent only officers there. The latter arrangement seems to reflect a political—more than just military—consideration for security. For the soldier who was exempted from service in the capital, the regulations on this duty must have been the basis for deciding the length of his tour of front line duty. (cont.)journal articl

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
Author response: Analysis of SUMO1-conjugation at synapses
Full text linkSUMO1-conjugation of proteins at neuronal synapses is considered to be a major post-translational regulatory process in nerve cell and synapse function, but the published evidence for SUMO1-conjugation at synapses is contradictory. We employed multiple genetic mouse models for stringently controlled biochemical and immunostaining analyses of synaptic SUMO1-conjugation. By using a knock-in reporter mouse line expressing tagged SUMO1, we could not detect SUMO1-conjugation of seven previously proposed synaptic SUMO1-targets in the brain. Further, immunostaining of cultured neurons from wild-type and SUMO1 knock-out mice showed that anti-SUMO1 immunolabelling at synapses is non-specific. Our findings indicate that SUMO1-conjugation of synaptic proteins does not occur or is extremely rare and hence not detectable using current methodology. Based on our data, we discuss a set of experimental strategies and minimal consensus criteria for the validation of SUMOylation that can be applied to any SUMOylation substrate and SUMO isoform.</jats:p
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
