    King Huiwen of Qin’s Jade Prayer Tablet

    No full text
    此篇論文收集並分析關於秦惠文王禱祠華山玉版的研究。第一章是續論,第二、三章是集釋與討論。第四章進一步探討「有秦曾孫小子駰」的身分、「周世既沒」、「陘」的身分與玉版與秦簡所見的「王室」的意思。拙文主張「陘」應該是幫秦駰與華山溝通的小神,而且王版的「王室」與秦簡的「王室」意思相近。第五章嘗試從山川祭祀的歷史與文化背景詮釋玉版,而且主張秦駰想要把新的土地的華山神納入秦之國祀與祀典,因而也可據玉版了解國祀如何形成。此篇同時討論秦惠文王其他方面的禮制改革。第六章是結論。This thesis collects and analyzes research on King Huiwen of Qin’s jade prayer tablets. The first chapter serves as an introduction to the artifact and the thesis. The second and third chapters collect and analyze other scholars’ commentaries on the text. The fourth chapter offers a more detailed discussion of the identity of Yin of Qin (秦駰), the meaning of “the time of the Zhou Dynasty has already ended” (周世既沒), the identity of Jing (陘), and the meaning of the “royal house” (王室) as found on both the tablet and in Qin bamboo strips. I argue that Jing is a lesser spirit used by King Huiwen to communicate with the spirit of Mt. Hua, and that the meaning of “royal house” is similar to the usage of the term found in Qin bamboo strips. The fifth chapter discusses the tablet in the context of mountain worship, and argues that King Huiwen of Qin is trying to assimilate the spirit of the recently conquered Mt. Hua into Qin state religion, and that the tablet thus provides important information about one way in which state sacrifices were established. This chapter also discusses the other ritual reforms implemented by King Huiwen. The sixth chapter is a conclusion

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    The 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

    “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

    We 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

    We 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 text
    We 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
