Integrating Jiang Han Ping Yuan Shadow Puppetry into Education for Cultural Protection and Literacy Development
Full text linkJiang Han Ping Yuan Shadow Puppetry, a traditional Chinese performing art rooted in Hubei Province’s cultural heritage, embodies intricate shadow play, music, and storytelling. This research aims to explore the efficacy of integrating Jiang Han Ping Yuan Shadow Puppetry into education for cultural protection and literacy development among students. Conducted in Qianjiang City, the birthplace of Jiang Han Ping Yuan Shadow Puppetry, the study employs a multidisciplinary approach, drawing on ethnomusicology, historical theory, and the anthropology of music. Two key informants, selected for their expertise and local cultural ties, provide insights into the historical development, artistic characteristics, and cultural resilience of this shadow puppetry. Through a meticulous analysis of historical aspects, artistic features, props, and cultural practices, the research uncovers the rich tapestry of Jiang Han Ping Yuan Shadow Puppetry. Findings suggest that despite challenges such as declining popularity and economic factors, the art form has persisted, showcasing adaptability through reforms and innovations. Recommendations include curriculum development, community engagement, and awareness initiatives to strengthen the role of Jiang Han Ping Yuan Shadow Puppetry in literacy programs and cultural preservation
Revisiting 'The Han-ping Couples' Story
No full text[[abstract]] 學界關於〈韓憑夫婦〉的討論，多附於《搜神記》及六朝志怪等相關研究中，其成果頗為豐碩。歷來對此故事的解讀，也多將其視作愛情傳奇故事的源頭。然而，藉由文中僅以鴛鴦、相思樹等作為愛情意象的證明，即便如此，是否愛情便是此故事所要傳達的唯一主題？此便成了筆者試圖重探〈韓憑夫婦〉故事時的動機。而本文的論述步驟，首先從回到文本當時歷史的、哲學的或是文化的脈絡出發，將〈韓憑夫婦〉重新置於魏晉時期歷史、文化的語境中，進而從干寶所謂的「神道之不誣」等意義的探討，試圖在以「愛情」的主題外，進一步探究其他解讀〈韓憑夫婦〉文本意旨的可能性。
Included in ＂Stories of Immortals＂, The Han-ping Couples' is one of the love classics with the motif of ＂love＂ in the Chinese classical novel. Besides, it is considered to be the source of the folk legend. Therefore, the reader will follow the context of the ＂faithful love＂ to interpret this story. However, is this really the ＂intentio operis＂ for this story? This paper attempts to put 'The Han-ping Couples' into the context of ＂Stories of Immortals＂ or the cultural, historical context during Wei-Jin Dynasties. Except to interpret the mainstream of the motif of ＂love＂ about this story, trying to find out whether there is another possibility of closer to the meaning of the text, by exploring the characters and plots in this story
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
